| meio | 12.10 didnt fix it neither did 12.04 and each time I change and blacklist this kernel module it seems the system gets slower | 00:00 |
| Guest50131 | now what? | 00:00 |
| Dr_Willis | meio: look at dmesg output for any errors? | 00:00 |
| pernille | i'll look around for an alternative program | 00:00 |
| soundray | Guest50131: thinking | 00:00 |
| pernille | thank you :) | 00:00 |
| Guest50131 | ok | 00:00 |
| Dr_Willis | blacklisting a nic module shouldent be affecting the speeds at all. | 00:00 |

| Troy^ | what is the software called that you can host your own wiki on your own server? | 00:02 |
| Guest50131 | like by using it to boot the install? | 00:02 |
| Guest50131 | ? | 00:02 |
| Dr_Willis | Troy^: theres several. I tend touse Tiddywiki but thats not really for a server | 00:02 |
| soundray | Guest50131: no, I think the option is "test Ubuntu" or similar | 00:02 |
| newubuntuuser | I dont need 2 session...In fact Im trying to get rid of them... I was just playing around with a multiple monitor setup and borked my screens somehow. Now I jsut want to revert back to normal... but I cant seem to figure out how. | 00:03 |

| lauratika | me again with another doubt | 00:03 |
| Dr_Willis | newubuntuuser: whats your video card/chipset? rename/move your xorg.conf will reset things | 00:03 |
| Dr_Willis | http://linux.die.net/man/1/ytalk ytalk man pages. :) | 00:03 |

| newubuntuuser | gforce 8400 gs Nvidia. | 00:04 |
| Guest50131 | okay | 00:04 |
| Dr_Willis | newubuntuuser: so run the nvidia-settings tool and set the thing to use twinview? | 00:04 |
| Guest50131 | trying that | 00:04 |
| Dr_Willis | newubuntuuser: i always use twinview. I never have had a need for 2 x sessions. | 00:04 |
| Guest50131 | is there any way i can find out if my computer won't work with ubuntu? i've heard of people using linux with compaqs | 00:05 |
| lauratika | i have 1.200 mbps internet connection, since im using 12.04 loading videos on youtube,vimeo or any other place takes ages. slow very slow video loading. any idea why? | 00:05 |
| Guest50131 | so idk why it would be a problem | 00:05 |
| Guest50131 | ? | 00:05 |
| newubuntuuser | I've got it set to twinview... but i still see 3 "sessions" also I removed the xorg,conf before and I was unable to log into X at all. I could only login with TTy1 | 00:05 |
| meio | Dr_Willis: realtek rtl8169 is not even loaded which is what is supposed to happen since it is blacklisted | 00:05 |
| soundray | Guest50131: Having seen the Amazon description, I wouldn't think that there would be a problem with your Presario | 00:06 |
| Guest50131 | okay | 00:06 |
| soundray | Guest50131: is it working with Windows? | 00:06 |
| Guest50131 | i'm running the CD and when it gets to the try ubuntu screen, i'll let you know what happens? | 00:06 |
| Guest50131 | yep windows 7, a brand new install. | 00:06 |

| Guest50131 | it appeared to work perfectly. the error message was when i clicked on the partitioning step of the install. | 00:11 |
| Guest50131 | i clicked "install ubuntu alongside windows 7" and got the error | 00:11 |
| Guest50131 | but until then, everything worked flawlessly. | 00:11 |
| soundray | Guest50131: okay, let me just look something up | 00:11 |

| soundray | Guest50131: okay, I think you should just have another go at installing. Launch it from where you are -- you should see an icon for installation | 00:15 |
| Guest50131 | okay | 00:15 |
| Guest50131 | double clicked the icon | 00:15 |
| soundray | Guest50131: unfortunately, I can't keep you company through the process -- gotta leave now | 00:16 |
| Guest50131 | okay thank you for all your help! would you recommend trying a diff release of ubuntu if this doesnt work?? | 00:16 |
| soundray | Guest50131: I'm sure you'll find someone else to help you out -- they're a nice bunch here | 00:16 |
| Guest50131 | ok thanks! | 00:17 |
| soundray | Guest50131: no, like I said, I can't see a reason why 12.04.1 wouldn't work | 00:17 |
| Guest50131 | told me to unmount the partitition "/dev/sda". y or no? | 00:17 |
| Guest50131 | okay | 00:17 |
| soundray | Guest50131: y | 00:17 |
| Guest50131 | ok | 00:17 |
| Guest50131 | thank you so so much for your help | 00:18 |
| Guest50131 | hopefully this will work! | 00:18 |
| soundray | Guest50131: but trying something else won't hurt either. I'd try the alternate installer first. | 00:18 |
| soundray | Guest50131: good luck! | 00:18 |
| Guest50131 | okay thank you!! | 00:18 |
| Guest50131 | can anyone help me? is it better to not partition your HD or to partition it during ubuntu installation? | 00:20 |

| northernen | Guest50131, your C: is one partition. D: is another partition. Guessing you're installing Ubuntu on a machine that already has Windows installed on it, so the next partition (your main partition) will be /dev/sdc. | 00:33 |
| Dr_Willis | sdc is a hard drive.. not a partition. | 00:34 |

| roge | computer keeps crashing during installation any help? | 00:52 |
| zykotick9 | northernen: bad word (don't use them in #ubuntu, my eyes are burning) | 00:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest50131: you really should be sure you have some good backups of your imporntant stuff.. | 00:52 |
| Silur | Q: is it possible to combine these two in one line: sed -i 's/sha1/sha/g' file and sed -i 's/SHA1/SHA/g' file ? | 00:52 |
| northernen | zykotick9, sorry. I don't usually make such bold statements! | 00:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Silur: you mean into a single call of sed? not 'command1 && command2' ? | 00:53 |
| northernen | Guest50131, it doesn't really matter the amount of partitions you have. No need to change them though. | 00:53 |
| roge | any help? | 00:53 |
| Silur | Dr_Willis, yes, i guess create a regex play not just && | 00:53 |
| Dr_Willis | roge: give some more details would help the channel help you. | 00:53 |
| Guest50131 | Dr_Willis: computer has nothing on it, brand new, so nothing to save | 00:54 |
| godgryphon | I have a really basic problem, but I've checked the forums and can't seem to find an answer. I upgraded my 12.04 installation to 12.10, and now it appears that my windows have the light grey color of KDE. Not the window borders, but where the content itself is. Is there an area where I can change this? | 00:54 |
| Guest50131 | northernen: the D: is a recovery drive that's uneditable? | 00:54 |
| zykotick9 | godgryphon: ask in #ubuntu+1 | 00:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Silur: i recall some 'ignore case' in my "mastering regular expressions' but it May depend on the exact regexp options sed's regexp engine takes. | 00:54 |
| godgryphon | Alright, thank you :). | 00:54 |
| roge | it boots up it starts installing all files about 2/3 of way it freezes | 00:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest50131: you DO have some windows restore disks? | 00:54 |
| Guest50131 | the C: is the hard drive, the D: is a "Recovery disk" that came with teh computer | 00:55 |
| Guest50131 | and the other 2 are a hp_tools drive and a "system" drie | 00:55 |
| peeps[work] | Dr_Willis, if i run the scripts manually they seem to work (they are backup scripts and i see the output of their backup on the backup drive), but it seems they don't run at all from cron | 00:55 |
| northernen | Well, not to make any broad statements, but D: recovery disks coming with the computer is all bollocks. | 00:55 |
| Guest50131 | northernen: see above messages | 00:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest50131: these days. I cheat and buy a new hd to put in a pc im putting lInux on.. and keep the windows hd either unhooked.. or i unhook it - install linux. then plug it back in. :) | 00:55 |
| Guest50131 | Dr_Willis: that's smart! | 00:56 |
| Dr_Willis | peeps[work]: your user may have a differfnt path, and may be using 'bash' where the cron is using a default path, and sh. (2 common issues ive seen over the years) | 00:56 |
| Guest50131 | Dr_Willis: don't have those kind of funds right now, but that's a good idea | 00:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest50131: last laptop - had 2 spots for Hard drives.. :) | 00:56 |
| peeps[work] | Dr_Willis, oh, i should put #!/bin/bash | 00:56 |
| Guest50131 | Dr_Willis: awesome! | 00:56 |
| peeps[work] | good call | 00:56 |
| roge | ? | 00:57 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest50131: current desktop.. i found a 128gb SSD for $99 - - So now my ubuntu box boots in like 10 sec. | 00:57 |
| Dr_Willis | peeps[work]: :) | 00:57 |
| Guest50131 | northernen: so i should try to install an earlier version? do you have any clue at all why it keeps ejecting my live cd and not letting me install?? | 00:57 |
| zykotick9 | Dr_Willis: 128GB i'm jealous... only 60GB here. | 00:57 |
| peeps[work] | how different is sh from bash? | 00:57 |
| Guest50131 | i also tried to install a 64-bit (checked my computer and it's a 64-but). could that have made a difference? i just want linuxxxxx | 00:57 |
| Dr_Willis | zykotick9: they had 64gbs for $64 ir sill. | 00:57 |
| Dr_Willis | peeps[work]: one is sh.. other is bash. :) | 00:58 |
| Dr_Willis | peeps[work]: sh is a limited shell compared to bash. | 00:58 |
| zykotick9 | peeps[work]: very... | 00:58 |
| peeps[work] | but aren't they interoperable for simple scripts | 00:58 |
| northernen | In most cases though, sh is just a symlink to bash. | 00:58 |
| Dr_Willis | peeps[work]: if you use JUST sh features.. you can use bash in your #! or sh.. | 00:58 |
| peeps[work] | i mean, the script is a one liner with no fancy conditionals or variables or anything | 00:58 |
| zykotick9 | peeps[work]: is you want the maximum cross-OS compatibility, use sh, if it's for gnu/linux bash should work fine. | 00:59 |
| Dr_Willis | peeps[work]: if you use BASH features you really should use bash in the #!. in ag4es past people would get lazy and use SH when they ment BASH | 00:59 |
| peeps[work] | does sh do backticks | 00:59 |
| northernen | Guest50131, I don't have any idea why it keeps ejecting it, no. But installing an earlier version and upgrading does not seem like a bad idea. | 00:59 |
| northernen | peeps[work], yep. | 00:59 |
| Guest50131 | northernen: ok, thanks :( | 00:59 |
| King_Cobra | do you have a jump drive guest? | 00:59 |
| northernen | peeps[work], oh wait, sh, no idea. | 01:00 |
| Dr_Willis | backticks make for hard to read code.. :) use of $(command) i think is perfered these days | 01:00 |
| Guest50131 | link to the 9.10 installatio ISO?? | 01:00 |
| northernen | I always thought sh was just a symlink to the default shell for the distro. | 01:00 |
| Dr_Willis | northernen: in ubuntus case that sh is DASH.. not bash.. | 01:00 |
| Dr_Willis | the change from bash to dash, casued a lot of issues ages ago | 01:01 |
| peeps[work] | ok, well i put binbash in there, hopefully on monday i will see that my jobs have run | 01:01 |
| northernen | Dr_Willis, dahs does backticks though? Or no? | 01:01 |

| Adie | can wubi resize my disk? | 01:21 |
| Adie | my wubi install is full :( | 01:21 |
| zykotick9 | XIII: are you using libvirt? | 01:22 |
| b3rz3rk3r_ | Adie, maybe time to install it for real then? You will get much better disk performance as well ;) | 01:22 |
| XIII | also once this happens every command results in a segmentation fault, bus error or i/o error | 01:23 |
| XIII | I am | 01:23 |
| zykotick9 | Adie: wubi is only a temporary/testing solution... VirtualBox would be better... | 01:23 |
| Adie | zykotick9: WELL, THATS NOT WHAT ENDED UP HAPPENING | 01:23 |
| Adie | though... is a wubi install something I can open in vmware/virtualbox? | 01:24 |
| Adie | or it it a weird virtual disk | 01:24 |
| zykotick9 | XIII: if you are using libvirt with KVM, you should say you are using libvirt - not KVM. | 01:24 |
| Adie | I needed to install ubuntu so I could edit and compile programs for windows, BUT I FULLED UP MAH WUBI | 01:24 |
| Adie | I don't even know how :| | 01:24 |
| Adie | isn't 18gb the default? | 01:25 |
| Adie | or was it 2... | 01:25 |
| XIII | zykotick9: it was the default option when installing ubuntu, it loads everything as kvm-qemu and i have libvirt, not exactly sure which it is using | 01:25 |
| Adie | also! how much would wubi DESTROY I/O performance? | 01:26 |
| Adie | if any | 01:26 |
| Adie | I have a good computer, but ubuntu is not liking all I am doing with it | 01:26 |
| Adie | QT Creator + chrome + a windows 7 virtual machine, and the thing just locks up a lot | 01:27 |
| Adie | idk if making a REAL ubuntu installation would fix that | 01:27 |
| b3rz3rk3r_ | Adie, you will get better disk performance by either installing it properly to disk or using a virtual environment like VirtualBox | 01:27 |
| Adie | yeah, looks like the root disk is 19gb | 01:28 |
| b3rz3rk3r_ | Adie, WUBI is a test environment to make it easy for people to test out Ubuntu, its not meant for long term use | 01:28 |

| Dr_Willis | easykill: download what? | 02:02 |
| King_Cobra | easykill: download the 9.10 download for the USB drive, then eRecovery the netbook, then use the USB to boot linux | 02:02 |

| grim__ | Hey im having a problem with my video card in games and such saying it dosent support 3d accelleration anyone know how to fix this? | 02:13 |
| bazhang | grim__, what card | 02:14 |
| grim__ | NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 525M (128-bit) 1GB | 02:14 |
| bazhang | grim__, did additional drivers offer a driver for it | 02:15 |
| grim__ | no it offers nothing | 02:15 |
| supercom32 | Question: If you access a file on disk using Ubuntu, via command line, Nautilus, etc, is that access logged in any place? | 02:15 |
| ClientAlive | I think I found something that may help but not sure how to install it properly. Can someone advise? (it's proprietary codec stuff). | 02:16 |
| Katelyn | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1165498/ | 02:16 |
| const_antine | there is access time for inode | 02:16 |
| Katelyn | ughhhh | 02:16 |
| const_antine | re. supercom32 | 02:16 |
| supercom32 | @const_antine: Is there anything that registers the actual file name or path? Such as, if you access a password file of some kind? | 02:17 |
| const_antine | you mean a list of all files per process? | 02:18 |
| const_antine | let's see | 02:18 |
| grim__ | bazhang you have any ideas? | 02:18 |
| const_antine | if you have procfs installed, you can look at currently open files | 02:18 |
| supercom32 | I mean, a history or a list of files the system has come into contact with. Such as an "ls" or a search or something. Like if you mounted a USB drive, would Ubuntu try to index it or something? | 02:18 |

| bazhang | Moonlightning, there is ZERO need for that | 02:21 |

| Dr_Willis | -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 44944 Jun 18 09:25 /bin/login | 02:21 |
| Dr_Willis | I think that error is complaining about somthing other then the permissions on login. | 02:22 |
| supercom32 | @const_antine: I take it the /var/log/ location is the best bet for finding such things? | 02:22 |
| tjabbe | Moonlightning, there is a thing called sudo | 02:22 |
| Moonlightning | tjabbe: I know, and I use it all the time. | 02:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Moonlightning: what are you tying to do exactly then? | 02:22 |
| tjabbe | the risks associated with operating as root all the time are too great | 02:22 |
| Moonlightning | Log in as a different user? :V | 02:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Moonlightning: use the su command... from the terminal | 02:23 |
| tjabbe | so if you are using sudo why would you want to expose yourself to greater levels of risk? | 02:23 |
| const_antine | /var/log? probably, i personally found logs to be lacking | 02:23 |
| grim__ | Does anyone know how to get my video settings working for 3d acceleration on a dell inspiron 17r n7110? | 02:23 |
| Moonlightning | `su` isn't working for me... | 02:24 |
| supercom32 | Ok, here's a good one. Lets say I want to turn on access logging as a security measure. So if I need to I can see what files were edited, viewed, copied, or mounted (From an external device). Is there a way to do that? | 02:24 |
| tjabbe | what isn't "working"? | 02:24 |
| Dr_Willis | Moonlightning: i think you need to be giving us more details.. so we can stop with the fishing questions.... | 02:24 |

| con-man | on a vanilla ubuntu install | 04:02 |
| root____1 | <<xyverz... Thank you for your sarcasim | 04:02 |
| con-man | cause they don't play | 04:02 |
| dmp450 | xyverz, because in the install it says i can install along gentoo(which I imagine is on the internal), wipe gentoo(still on internal), or something else | 04:02 |
| xyverz | dmp450: if your USB drive shows up during the install as a viable drive, you should be able to partition that and leave your Gentoo partitions alone. | 04:03 |
| xyverz | the only problem you may have would be when installing grub... As far as I'm aware, they took out the ability to place the bootloader in a custom location in the ubuntu desktop installer. | 04:03 |
| xangua | !dvd | con-man | 04:04 |

| dmp450 | xyverz, it asks me which device for bootloader installation, can I not use my gentoo bootloader? | 04:04 |
| xyverz | dmp450: I got around that on my PC by just unplugging my widnows drive and installing. | 04:04 |
| xyverz | you can use your gentoo bootloader | 04:04 |
| dmp450 | xyverz, i'm on a laptop :P | 04:04 |
| dmp450 | oh, i'm an idiot | 04:04 |
| xyverz | dmp450: that would be a problem. lol. | 04:04 |
| xyverz | If Ubuntu asks you where to place the bootloader, I'd just place it on the root of the USB drive | 04:05 |
| dmp450 | I could install the bootloader to the usb drive, but just have my computer boot the internal drive and add a grub option in the gentoo bootloader, yes? | 04:05 |
| bazhang | con-man, libdvdcss2 from medibuntu.org | 04:05 |

| bazhang | root____1, actual ubuntu support question? | 04:06 |
| dmp450 | xyverz, sorry, got excited with my enter button. do I have to play around with partition tables or anything? | 04:06 |
| xyverz | not for the gentoo drive. just for your usb externel, I'd think. | 04:06 |
| xyverz | I've not installed to USB before. | 04:06 |
| dmp450 | xyverz, so should I just have to choose the bootloader installation and nothing else? | 04:07 |
| root____1 | question. how come my name pops up as root___1? | 04:08 |
| xyverz | dmp450, You'll have to specify which partitions to install Ubuntu onto. And like I said, I've never been given the option where to install the bootloader to, but your milage may vary. | 04:08 |

| xyverz | dmp450: I'm accustomed to the old way, where installation of the bootloader was the last thing you set up, after all the packages have been installed. | 04:10 |
| Mechdave | Bitgod, you need to view it with a terminal on that serial port | 04:11 |
| Bitgod | Mechdave: hmm how? thius new to me | 04:11 |
| dmp450 | xyverz, that's wwhat I remember doing on my desktop running old 10.04 | 04:11 |
| xyverz | dmp450: Exactly! =) | 04:12 |
| Mechdave | Bitgod, I have not done it for a very long time but you need to attach a terminal to your serial port then you can see all the data being sent and recieved. The other way is to log the serial port to a file | 04:12 |

| wavedigit | first, I encrypted it using a key, which I exported (.asc format) to a USB stick | 04:14 |
| xyverz | the ttyS devices are the serial ports. It's been a long time since I've worked with them. | 04:14 |
| wavedigit | then, on a different machine I imported that .asc key and tried decrypting with gedit, but it said that I didn't have the decryption key | 04:15 |
| wavedigit | I encrypted text btw | 04:15 |
| xyverz | dmp450: yeah, I'd partition out your USB drive. Leave the partitions on your internal drive alone. Don't even assign mount points to them. | 04:16 |
| xyverz | dmp450: although, IIRC, Ubuntu will want to use your existing swap partition. | 04:16 |

| __dbro__ | Yes | 04:41 |
| Guddu | And Swap? | 04:42 |
| __dbro__ | Yeah, | 04:42 |
| Guddu | __dbro__, Any sizing recommendation? | 04:42 |
| __dbro__ | Well, how much RAM you got? | 04:42 |
| Guddu | __dbro__, 6 GB | 04:42 |
| Guddu | __dbro__, is there any advantage if i make one partition for /opt one for /home one for /usr/local and that way? | 04:42 |
| __dbro__ | hmm. With that much ram, I'd say only a gig swap is needed | 04:42 |
| __dbro__ | AFAIK, there isn't an advantage | 04:43 |
| Guddu | __dbro__, I will just leave 25 GB for Swap and rest as / partition. Should be fine? | 04:43 |

| rhys | oh. ubuntu ubuntu. No, this is an auto install. | 04:48 |
| Guddu | __dbro__, That means i will have no logical partitions at all....Is that ok? | 04:48 |

| __dbro__ | erm...I haven't a clue. | 04:48 |

| Guddu | Nautilus, So i will have 24 GB in Swap and just one primary parition covering rest of my 1TB Disk Space. Is that fine? | 04:50 |
| Nautilus | well it's fine but the real decision is up to you and depending what you'll be doing. | 04:50 |
| Guddu | Nautilus, __dbro__, has it that way and it works fine for him. Just wanted to confirm if there is some implication to performance. | 04:50 |
| Nautilus | if you're new to ubuntu and going to use it as a desktop, probably fine. | 04:51 |
| __dbro__ | I have just one gig swap | 04:51 |

| Nautilus | rhys: but i want to access the individual files in the meantime. | 05:16 |
| rhys | Nautilus, also if clonezilla complains (i don't know), it still uses this: http://www.partimage.org/Main_Page to clone the filesystems | 05:16 |
| rhys | Nautilus, if you can mount an ext3 drive, you can just as easily mount an ext3 image | 05:17 |
| dj_segfault | victor_: If you're new to this, I would suggest you install and use pidgin, which is very easy to understand and use. | 05:17 |
| Nautilus | and access the files? ohhhhhhhh | 05:17 |
| victor_ | thanks, dj_segfault. | 05:17 |
| dj_segfault | Nautilus: I think it's mount -o loop myisoimagefile | 05:18 |
| rhys | Nautilus, as long as you're not imaging a disk, in which case you need to have an offset, the image of the filesystem mounts with no extra arguments. | 05:18 |
| rhys | mount -o loop myisoimagefile /mnt/point | 05:18 |
| Nautilus | yes, a partition not a disk | 05:19 |
| Nautilus | but hm, that won't CloneZilla back in place? | 05:19 |
| Nautilus | oh right it would, as Image->Partition, yes? | 05:20 |
| rhys | Nautilus, yeah it will. you can clone partition<->image and image<->partition | 05:20 |
| Nautilus | thanks!! | 05:20 |

| Elesa | Lol? | 05:23 |
| kingfarvito | I wrote my resume in it, but in order to send it out I have to save it in a format that other people with be able to open. the only real option is pdf | 05:23 |

| diverdude | nbags: and is it incremental backup? I mean, does it only backup changed files? | 06:50 |
| Moonlightning | Mechdave: I can't back anything up because /I can't access it!/ | 06:51 |
| Moonlightning | That's why I'm trying to //recover// it. >.< | 06:51 |
| nbags | diverdude: yes | 06:51 |
| McFly | Moonlightning, encfs -S /SourcePath/encryptedFolder /TargetPath/DecryptedFolder | 06:51 |
| Mechdave | Moonlightning, because it is "hidden" by the system? | 06:51 |
| nbags | diverdude: its a pretty smart app | 06:51 |
| Moonlightning | McFly: no such program as `encfs` | 06:51 |
| nbags | diverdude: the only problem is that its java so its a bit resource-hungry | 06:51 |
| Moonlightning | Mechdave: you already linked that, and I already said it wasn't helpful. | 06:51 |
| Moonlightning | Mechdave: I'm logged in via `ssh` right now. I prefer CLIs on Linux systems. | 06:52 |
| diverdude | nbags: oh well...thats ok....i can just ask it to run during nighthours | 06:52 |
| Moonlightning | Mechdave: it can't be simply /hidden/ with `chflags hidden` or by sticking a dot in front of a filename; I'd still see it. | 06:53 |
| cristian_c | An other question | 06:53 |
| nbags | diverdude: not sure. by default it runs every 15 minutes or so | 06:54 |
| diverdude | nbags: hmmm that really sux | 06:54 |
| Moonlightning | And everything is not accessible in the normal way; `zsh` is running with default preferences, so my .zshrc wasn't accessible… | 06:54 |
| McFly | Searching a VPN-IPsec Client GUI for lucid 10.04. suggestions? | 06:54 |
| nbags | diverdude: its pretty configurable. i think its a good thing. you pretty much dont have to think about it. just install it and it works | 06:54 |
| Mechdave | Moonlightning, How about this --> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/recover-your-encrypted-private-directory-using-ecryptfs-recover-private.html | 06:54 |
| diverdude | nbags: but if it runs every minute its not good. I only need once a day | 06:55 |
| Moonlightning | Mechdave: I don't have a live disc… | 06:55 |
| cristian_c | I'm using lostirc and I don't know how can I change the quit message. I've found, in the lostirc Home hidden folder, a file called events.conf who contains even the lines: quit = 15-- 00%116 has quit 15(09%215) quit2 = 15-- 00%116 has quit. But I don't think it is the right file. What can i do to solve this problem? | 06:56 |
| cristian_c | any ideas? | 06:56 |
| Mechdave | Moonlightning, can you reboot your machine in to recovery. That is do you have physical access to the machine in question? | 06:58 |
| Moonlightning | Ugh. It might just be faster to recreate everything… | 06:58 |
| Moonlightning | Yes; it's sitting right here. | 06:58 |
| Mechdave | Moonlightning, Do you remember your password for your encryption? | 06:59 |
| Moonlightning | Mechdave: it's just my login password, right? | 06:59 |
| Moonlightning | (Argh, weren't you guys here when I bucked up the encryption just a few minutes ago?? >.< ) | 06:59 |
| Mechdave | Moonlightning, yes but I was elsewhere | 07:00 |
| Moonlightning | Mechdave: okay, yes, I remember the encryption password, assuming it's my login password. | 07:00 |

| Guddu | McFly, Thanks...Checking....This was exactly one of my question earlier today. But no one answered it to my satisfaction :) Until now | 07:34 |
| Guddu | Thanks Treaver | 07:34 |
| Treaver | Mc Fly, I thought that the direct download from their website was fully updated and that not | 07:34 |
| Treaver | I've found that the apps using Ubuntu Software are not fully updated | 07:35 |
| StarryNight | that is why i try to find updates myself either by ppa or deb | 07:36 |
| McFly | Treaver, yeah, but quicksynergy comes with a GUI and is very easy to setup | 07:36 |
| Treaver | That's why I gave him the link. McFly this also comes with the same thing : http://synergy-foss.org/download/?file=synergy-1.4.10-Linux-x86_64.deb | 07:37 |
| edgar | where is XFCE's irc channel? | 07:38 |
| Guddu | McFly, I should install this only on my PC which does not have keyboard? | 07:38 |

| Mechdave | Moonlightning, If you reboot the system then select ubuntu recovery (usually second option on the grub menu) this then starts the machine as root user | 07:40 |
| Treaver | It has a GUI.. | 07:40 |
| Moonlightning | Way late, Mechdave | 07:40 |

| McFly | Guddu, try to install it on your 12.04 PC with terminal command: sudo apt-get install quicksynergy | 07:41 |
| baizon | ghabit: try Xvidcap or Kazam | 07:42 |
| ghabit | baizon, I found advice to push alt-ctrl-shift-R, and it works, but it was writing only once, second time does not working any more. | 07:42 |

| Guddu | McFly, Laptop has Windows XP SP3 | 07:42 |
| Guddu | On my PC i already have QuickSynergy installled now | 07:42 |
| Treaver | Guddu, I'm using Synergy right now and have been for the past couple days, if you need help just ask. Download it from the link I sent, then install it. If you need help setting up just ask. | 07:43 |
| Guddu | Thanks Treaver, I just installed QuickSynergy on my PC using sudo apt-get | 07:43 |

| csanyipal | I just installed Ubuntu Desktop 12.04.1 LTS 64 bit. How can I know which video driver uses my X Window system? | 07:55 |
| Guddu | thanks McFly I am reading that | 07:55 |
| csanyipal | I want to use nouveau but I suspect that that my system uses nvidia driver. | 07:55 |
| auronandace | csanyipal: lsmod will show what driver is loaded | 07:56 |
| llutz | luftikuss: ~/.ssh/id_rsa (if you generated a rsa-key) | 07:57 |
| csanyipal | auronandace: Thanks! I know it now: nvidia 8107594 34 | 07:57 |

| lotuspsychje | auronandace:i got it on several systems i installed for others too | 07:59 |
| auronandace | csanyipal: open additional drivers and disable the nvidia driver then reboot | 07:59 |
| csanyipal | k1l_: I think that is the right way too. Thanks! | 07:59 |
| McFly | Guddu, on the grid: create a client neighbouring your server and give it a simple name | 08:00 |

| Moonlightning | How do I make myself a new home directory? | 08:02 |
| lotuspsychje | Moonlightning:do you mean create a new user? | 08:03 |
| auronandace | csanyipal: are you spelling driver right? | 08:03 |
| Moonlightning | I already have an account, I just need to make a new home directory. Preferably using the same method that `adduser` does. | 08:03 |
| csanyipal | auronandace: Yes: driver | 08:03 |
| k1l_ | csanyipal: type "jockey" | 08:03 |
| k1l_ | auronandace: its only found by the name of the program which is jockey | 08:04 |
| csanyipal | k1l_: If I type jockey, nothing appeares here. | 08:04 |
| Mechdave | Moonlightning, you can do a rmuser <username> and then adduser <username> in recovery mode | 08:04 |
| McFly | Moonlightning, do you have a backup from the old home? | 08:04 |
| auronandace | k1l_: no, it came up from either for me | 08:04 |
| Moonlightning | McFly: I don't want to delete my current account, though. | 08:04 |
| Moonlightning | Mechdave: ^ * | 08:04 |
| Moonlightning | McFly: yes, I have a backup. | 08:04 |
| auronandace | csanyipal: what ubuntu are you running? | 08:04 |
| csanyipal | auronandace: I'm running Ubuntu Desktop 12.04.1 LTS 64 bit. | 08:05 |
| Mechdave | Moonlightning, well you can just delete your user directory and reboot. when you log back in again everything is new :) | 08:05 |
| Moonlightning | Really? :o | 08:05 |
| McFly | Moonlightning, how did you backup the files? tarball? | 08:05 |
| k1l_ | csanyipal: then hit "alt + f2" and type "jockey-gtk" | 08:05 |
| Moonlightning | McFly: yep, just a tarball | 08:06 |
| auronandace | csanyipal: it should work, oh well, open a terminal and type gksudo jockey-gtk | 08:06 |
| Mechdave | Moonlightning, yep | 08:06 |

| Mechdave | Moonlightning, you should be able to rm -rvf /home/<username> in the command line. You shouldn't need sudo | 08:07 |
| Moonlightning | Mechdave: but you're removing /home/blackl, which counts as a modification to /home, right? | 08:08 |

| csanyipal | auronandace: So now I disabled the nvidia driver. Should I relogin, or should I restart the X Window , but how can do that here in Ubuntu? | 08:09 |
| k1l_ | csanyipal: relogin | 08:10 |
| csanyipal | k1l_: OK | 08:10 |
| auronandace | csanyipal: simpler to reboot | 08:10 |
| csanyipal | auronandace: OK | 08:10 |
| csanyipal | auronandace: Thank you! | 08:10 |
| csanyipal | k1l_: Thank you! | 08:10 |
| Mechdave | Moonlightning, no you need to add a / to the end of blackl to keep the home it seems :) | 08:11 |

| thechris | It does boot into safe mode though, but things like mouse scrolling don't work. | 08:38 |
| LiquidDemocracy | lotuspsychje, I know transmission well. Been using it for years.However, I am using ktorrent at the moment and there is a large torent queue in ktorrent. | 08:38 |
| Moonlightning | `xset dpms force off` gives me ==> xset: unable to open display "" | 08:38 |
| thechris | So basically I'm looking for a way to get ubuntu to boot without having to use a usb key and then boot into safe mode. | 08:38 |

| hipitihop | ActionParsnip, a hint of sarcasm :-) I meant to phrase my question with GUI, as I'm trying to instruct someone not familiar with cli | 08:44 |
| thechris | ActionParsnip: nvidia gt260M | 08:45 |
| ActionParsnip | hipitihop: not sure there, can you ssh to the system? | 08:45 |
| hipitihop | not yet, fresh setup | 08:45 |

| ActionParsnip | Symmetria's video card is probably more powerful than my media pc :) | 08:46 |
| thechris | ActionParsnip: is that a grub option? | 08:46 |
| Guddu | McFly, Yes...Configuring in Ubuntu now. Treaver is also helping me there. In a minute i shud be up and running :-) | 08:46 |
| ActionParsnip | thechris: yes | 08:46 |
| Guddu | --- Treaver said "I told you he needed the .deb" | 08:46 |
| hipitihop | ActionParsnip, but probably the easiest, is setup ssh etc and go from there. Will the cli adduser make the use member of standard groups or will I have to find out what those are and add to groups mannually | 08:47 |
| McFly | Guddu, hobe the .deb is easy to config | 08:47 |
| ActionParsnip | hipitihop: yes, you can then add the user to admin / sudo if the user needs admin powers | 08:47 |
| Symmetria | hehe ActionParsnip my pc is a little... overkill :) | 08:47 |
| hipitihop | ActionParsnip, thanks ... final question, what is the correct package for basic ssh server | 08:47 |
| Symmetria | I had some spare cash and went and blew about 5 thousand dollars building it haha | 08:48 |
| ActionParsnip | hipitihop: openssh-server | 08:48 |
| ActionParsnip | hipitihop: it will also install an SFTP server too, so you can securely send and recieve files from the pc | 08:48 |
| ActionParsnip | hipitihop: if the user is behind a router, you will need to port forward so the traffic is accepted | 08:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Symmetria: I have low requirements, so I have old gear | 08:49 |

| gordonjcp | is there an easy way to install something without pulling in all its deps? My particular use case here is installing jackd2 on Precise, which wants to pull in qjackctl | 09:23 |
| === arry is now known as codemaniac | ||
| gordonjcp | since I'm installing on a machine with no graphics hardware of any kind, qjackctl makes no sense | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip | gordonjcp: use the --no-depends option, check: man apt-get to verify | 09:23 |
| gordonjcp | ActionParsnip: ah, makes sense | 09:23 |
| gordonjcp | ActionParsnip: I should file a bug against jackd2 | 09:24 |
| gordonjcp | requiring qjackctl is nonsensical | 09:24 |

| ne0n | After that i just got same thing as in console | 09:34 |
| tapas | ne0n: there might be several reasons for X not starting up. login manager is broken, display drivers missing.. | 09:34 |
| tapas | Azzle-Dazzle: what's your measure of "efficient" | 09:34 |
| ne0n | About display drivers... | 09:34 |
| Azzle-Dazzle | just being used in general tapas lol | 09:34 |
| ne0n | Before update i had some display driver...issuses | 09:35 |
| tapas | Azzle-Dazzle: free -m | 09:35 |
| tapas | or htop | 09:35 |
| tapas | Azzle-Dazzle: or top | 09:35 |
| Azzle-Dazzle | Swap: 2047 4 2043 | 09:35 |
| ne0n | I'm using nvidia's drivers... | 09:35 |
| Azzle-Dazzle | that doesnt seem so efficient lol | 09:36 |
| ne0n | Now i'm using one of previous versions of Ubuntu 12.04 | 09:37 |
| tapas | Azzle-Dazzle: well, swap is slower than RAM | 09:37 |
| tapas | so swap not being used is normally a good thing(tm) | 09:37 |
| ne0n | And my display is not taking the whole surface of my monitor, and i can't change it to 1920x1080 | 09:37 |
| ne0n | Because display driver is not activated | 09:38 |
| Azzle-Dazzle | so ive nothing to worry about ? | 09:38 |
| tapas | Azzle-Dazzle: nope | 09:38 |
| Azzle-Dazzle | only my set up seems a little 'laggy' | 09:38 |
| tapas | Azzle-Dazzle: swap is the last resort when runnign out of RAM (loosely speaking) | 09:38 |
| bekks | Azzle-Dazzle: You have to look at the complete output of "free -m", and not just a single line from top. | 09:38 |

| ne0n | I'm in one of the "previous versions of linux", with visual interface | 09:44 |

| ne0n | When i start the problematic version of Ubuntu(updated one) it asks for username and after that - a password | 09:46 |
| bekks | ne0n: Thats your username and the password for that user. You set that up while installing ubuntu. | 09:47 |
| ne0n | bekks: exactly, and this previous kernel has visual interface | 09:47 |
| histo | ne0n: it's the same visual interface it's just using an older kernel | 09:47 |
| ne0n | It is the same visual interface but now i'm using older kernel to ask for help | 09:48 |
| bekks | ne0n: A kernel never has a visual interface. All thats happening, is, that you have a valid kernel module for that previous kernel version, so your visual interface actually can start. | 09:48 |
| ne0n | Since newer kernel won't start visual interface | 09:48 |
| histo | ne0n: how did you install your nvidia drivers? | 09:48 |
| bekks | Kernel never start a visual interface. | 09:48 |
| bekks | ne0n: Install a graphics driver for your current kernel (not one of the previous versions) and you#ll be fine. | 09:49 |
| histo | ne0n: example did you use the additional hardware application or did you download and install them from nvidia? | 09:49 |
| ne0n | I think that's the problem - | 09:49 |
| ne0n | Graphics driver is the problem imo | 09:49 |
| histo | ne0n: If you installed the driver from nvidia.com you need to rebuild the kernel module everytime the kernel updates | 09:49 |

| Dr_Willis | what one is missing? | 10:27 |
| MonkeyDust | McFly https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPSecHowTo | 10:27 |
| tenX | MonkeyDust: he's lookin for a gui | 10:29 |
| gogeta | gui for what | 10:29 |
| tenX | gogeta: to configure and connect i guess? | 10:29 |
| gogeta | tenX: tp? | 10:30 |
| tenX | gogeta: ipsec | 10:30 |
| jvns_ | contribute | 10:30 |
| Jonny1 | Dr_Willis: The other distro is ubuntustudio. I installed studio after desktop. Studios grub has both distros and windows. Now I want to go back to using desktop and use desktops grub in case I delete the studio partition | 10:30 |
| gogeta | tenX: the firewall gui? | 10:30 |
| tenX | gogeta: dunno :) | 10:30 |
| tenX | gogeta: more the ipsec config itself i guess | 10:31 |
| tenX | openswan or whatever | 10:31 |
| tenX | racoon | 10:31 |
| Dr_Willis | Jonny1: the disrto that last had 'sudo update-grub' will be controlling the boot record. You need to either chroot into the other. or set up a custome grub entry to boot the other. (you could look at the others grub.cfg and copy/paste the stanza to boot it into your /etc/grub.d/40_custom | 10:31 |
| Dr_Willis | once you get the other install booted. or chrooted.. rerun update-gruvb | 10:32 |
| Dr_Willis | once you get the other install booted. or chrooted.. rerun update-grub | 10:32 |
| gogeta | Dr_Willis: doesent the grub live cd do all that | 10:32 |
| Dr_Willis | live cd uses syslinux. | 10:32 |
| tenX | gogeta: not an easy task ;) | 10:32 |
| Dr_Willis | but it MAY have an entry to boot the 'first' hard drive.. but that may just load the grub from the studio install | 10:32 |
| Dr_Willis | im suprised Ubuntu Studio is not seeing both. | 10:33 |
| gogeta | Dr_Willis: guess add the line to d.40 and update-grub | 10:33 |
| gogeta | Dr_Willis: that would be the quick way | 10:34 |
| tenX | McFly: what do you need the gui for? | 10:34 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | if i use dedice my power management and core temperature?ated gpu, will it improv | 10:34 |
| Dr_Willis | gogeta: i wonder if reruning update-grub on the studio install may find the other install.. (unless of course somehow the other install got erased) | 10:34 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | dedicated* | 10:34 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | *if i use dedicated gpu, will it imrove my power management?* | 10:35 |
| gogeta | Dr_Willis: something tells me it did. not seeing another ubuntu install is pretty rare | 10:35 |
| gogeta | chirag_d_gr8: short answer is no dedcated use more power then the onbord shared | 10:36 |
| WarOfTheNerd | depends on the GPU chirag_d_gr8 | 10:36 |
| WarOfTheNerd | if we're talking normal NVIDIA/ATI you're wasting power big time | 10:36 |
| gogeta | WarOfTheNerd: ati tend be less power hungry but more buggy | 10:36 |
| WarOfTheNerd | gogeta, true. But with NVIDIA you can clock/undervolt them down to use far less power | 10:37 |
| gogeta | WarOfTheNerd: yep same is true for most gpus | 10:37 |

| gogeta | chirag_d_gr8: the quick way to fix that is to trn off the intel gpu in bios or set the ati to primary it verys pc to pc | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | or just don't buy dual gpu nonesense | 10:39 |
| gogeta | chirag_d_gr8: but if its power saving you whant keep the intel | 10:39 |
| Jonny1 | Dr_Willis: I should explain what I have done. First I installed ubuntu 12.04 desktop edition and selected the option to install it alongside windows (repartitioned). Then I installed ubuntu studio 12.04 so the system triple boots. The grub config in ubuntu studio works fine - it has all 3 OSs in its menu. | 10:39 |

| ActionParsnip | gogeta: intel is enough for most laptop needs | 10:40 |
| gogeta | chirag_d_gr8: you should be able to disable the onbord gpu via bios then ubuntu will use the ati | 10:41 |
| Dr_Willis | Jonny1: yes... rerunning Update-grub on the Studio nstall MAY find the ubuntu install.. OR add a custome entry on the studio installs /etc/grub.d/40_custom to specifically RUN the ubuntu install.. then rerun update-grub | 10:41 |
| Jonny1 | Dr_Willis: Now I have booted ubuntu 12.04 desktop edition from ubuntu studios grub and I have run update-grub from ubuntu desktop edition (which I am running now). Update-grub only picked up the desktop edition kernels and windows. It didn't pick up the real time kernel for ubuntu studio. | 10:41 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | gogeta: I tried that before but there is no option to disable a gpu in my bios | 10:41 |
| gogeta | chirag_d_gr8: unless your running on the battery i would see no reasion to use the intel | 10:41 |
| Dr_Willis | Jonny1: the 'entry' for the ubuntu install could be gotten from the ubuntu instllls boot/grub.cfg file. you would just need one entry cut/pasted into your 40_custome file | 10:42 |
| tenX | chirag_d_gr8: nvidia? | 10:42 |
| Dr_Willis | oops its in boot/grub/grub.cfg ;) | 10:42 |
| Jonny1 | Dr_Willis: Ubuntu Studios grub already has all the kernels. Thats not the problem. Next I ran grub-install from my ubuntu desktop edition (currently running) so now the grub config on my mbr is the one from ubuntu dekstop edition. When I reboot I am pretty certain I will get a menu that includes ubuntu desktop edition and windows but not ubuntu studio. | 10:43 |
| gogeta | chirag_d_gr8: have you looked in your monoter settings with a dual gpu you should be able to switch | 10:43 |
| gogeta | chirag_d_gr8: i heard of this issue before and i think it took a bunch of configs and scripts to get ubuntu to swotch | 10:44 |
| excalibr | hello. anyone uses shutter screen capturer here? is the crop tool not working for you too in the latest build from ppa? | 10:44 |
| Jonny1 | Dr_Willis: I'm a bit confused as to why update-grub has not picked up the other kernel. Obviously I can go back to using ubuntu studios grub sinnce that includes everything but that seems like an unnecessary hack when it should be possible for update-grub to do the job for me. Plus I want to understand more of what is going on so I dont really want to take the easy path (but which to me seems to be an incorrect path) | 10:44 |
| Dr_Willis | update-grub runs the os-prober script to see all the other distros.. it dosent like/see the Ubuntu studio kernel perhaps.. OR perhaps its adding it to the grub menus under 'ubuntu' and you are not noticeing it. | 10:45 |
| Dr_Willis | I dont see much point in Ubuntu-studio these days. | 10:45 |
| Dr_Willis | http://askubuntu.com/questions/144648/grub-doesnt-show-both-ubuntu-installations | 10:46 |
| gogeta | chirag_d_gr8: lol go to catlayest controle center actvate second card | 10:46 |

| ActionParsnip | chirag_d_gr8: add that in /etc/rc.local above the evit 0 line, and it will run at boot | 10:50 |
| Dr_Willis | that exact command isent needed in rc.local (a variant of it would do) but it should work as written above also I belive. ;0 | 10:51 |
| Dr_Willis | rc.local runs as root, so the echo/tee part is a bit redundant. | 10:51 |

| savio | ActionParsnip, testing RAM really helps? | 11:01 |
| gogeta | subhadip: it roughts threw there servers | 11:01 |
| gogeta | subhadip: how it works threw firewalls etc | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | sejo: think about it | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | savio: think about it | 11:02 |
| philinux | cookburn: have a look here. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip | sejo: wrong target, sorry | 11:02 |
| savio | ActionParsnip, i'll give it try | 11:02 |
| tenX | subhadip: connection handling runs over their systems. dunno the details, but thats possibly insecure | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip | savio: the apps run in ram, so if the ram is bad it will cause issues | 11:02 |
| koud | hmm are people aware that the 12.04 server openvpn guide does not work at all? | 11:02 |
| koud | seems terrible wrong | 11:02 |
| savio | ActionParsnip, thanks | 11:02 |
| gordonjcp | koud: what's wrong with it? | 11:03 |
| tenX | koud: what changede | 11:03 |
| tenX | -e | 11:03 |
| gogeta | tenX: i never had a issue with | 11:03 |
| koud | even first steps are not working, source vars | 11:03 |
| cookburn | yes iam have and iam have all commands give but the wlan is not going | 11:03 |
| tenX | gogeta: how would you notice? ;) | 11:03 |
| gogeta | tenX: you relise they use vpn crypto | 11:04 |
| cookburn | iam have postet and iam can copy the komplett list from the computer me give. | 11:04 |
| gogeta | tenX: even a mode you can use for a privet vpn | 11:04 |
| koud | gogeta: tenX KEY_CONFIG seems incorrect and the guide has no mention about it, and there are many variables in vars that says change me but the guide does not mention it either | 11:04 |
| tenX | gogeta: yeah but end2end? how is it handled out? | 11:05 |
| gogeta | tenX: i use it it work and my sysem didnt explode | 11:05 |
| koud | anyone has a suggestion on a openvpn guide that works with ubuntu? | 11:06 |
| tenX | gogeta: explosives were not part of the discussion yet | 11:06 |
| gogeta | tenX: lol | 11:06 |
| gogeta | tenX: i just use it to vnc my desktop from work neverhad any issues a nd i turn it off at work' | 11:07 |
| gogeta | tenX: at home | 11:07 |
| cdshan | I am trying to install ubuntu 12.04 on my lenovo B570 laptop, The installation goes without a hitch but when I reboot it does not seem to find the drive where the OS is installed and is trying to boot from other devices | 11:07 |
| tenX | gogeta: its about security concerns | 11:08 |
| cdshan | Could some one help on this isssue | 11:08 |
| tenX | gogeta: know its working pretty well :) | 11:08 |
| Dr_Willis | cdshan: check the bios, or tap whatever key the pc uses to seleect a boot device.. You have just the one hard drive? or several? | 11:09 |
| gogeta | tenX: i think you mean privcery conserns then | 11:09 |
| tenX | yeah | 11:10 |
| koud | gogeta: No /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/openssl.cnf file could be found - this is what I get if I follow the ubuntu official 12.04 openvpn guide | 11:10 |
| cdshan | Dr_Willis: The boot disk priority is set right, I have only one hard disk and I installed it from a pen drive, On searching the net I found that a lot of people are having this problem but I could not find a definet solution. | 11:10 |
| cdshan | I followed the instruction on the net but no use. | 11:11 |
| Dr_Willis | cdshan: if you are not seeing a grub menu. then it sounds like the system never installed grub for some reason. | 11:11 |
| gogeta | tenX: i guess if that sort of thing worry's you. i wouldent go buying stuff using a cc threw it. but fixing a buddys issue its fine | 11:11 |
| mlkushan | @all, can somebody suggest me a approach to write a signal handler for SIGTRAP signal. I am trying to trap the SIGTRAP signal issued by libseccomp library. | 11:11 |
| Dr_Willis | the various fix-grub guides should work.. but i tend to use the boot-repair live cd. (the guides mention them) --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 11:12 |
| Dr_Willis | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 11:12 |
| tenX | koud: sudo cp -r /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/easy-rsa/2.0 /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa2 | 11:12 |
| koud | tenX: yes I did that, it does not contain that file | 11:13 |
| cdshan | Dr_Willis: let me give the link you had suggested a try and get back to you. | 11:14 |
| Dr_Willis | cdshan: not sure what instructions you followed.. the official ubuntu fix grub guides tend to mention boot-repair as the first thing to try. ;) | 11:14 |
| koud | tenX: easy-rsa 1.0 contains openssl.cnf | 11:14 |
| koud | not 2.0 | 11:14 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | After switching to integrated graphics using the command echo "OFF"| sudo tee /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch i cannot switch back to previous settings. How to do that | 11:15 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | ? | 11:15 |
| Dr_Willis | boot-repair is a nifty tool. Hope it gets included by default soon.. ;P would save a lot of hassles if people with problems in here could run it and use its Info report feature to give us stuff like --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1166090/ | 11:16 |
| Dr_Willis | chirag_d_gr8: replace OFF with ON | 11:16 |
| gogeta | chirag_d_gr8: remove the line | 11:16 |
| Dr_Willis | could be they cant come back on without a reboot also.. | 11:16 |
| tenX | koud how about openssl-1.0.0.cnf | 11:17 |
| gogeta | Dr_Willis: duno ironhide says it can switch them on demand | 11:17 |
| koud | tenX: yes it is there | 11:17 |
| gogeta | Dr_Willis: if it workson ati systems | 11:17 |
| oskar- | mlkushan: simply in bash by defining a function x and setting the trap: "trap x SIGTRAP". or what do you mean? | 11:17 |
| koud | so it is whichopensslcnf that fails for some reason | 11:17 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | Dr_Willis thanks worked like charm :D | 11:17 |
| tenX | koud: symbolic link | 11:18 |
| koud | ? | 11:18 |
| cookburn | I'am have a Wlan Problem whit my Dell Latitude 820 is not going we can help, here iam have all testet. | 11:18 |
| tenX | ln -s openssl-1.0.0.cnf openssl.cnf | 11:19 |
| mlkushan | oskar-: My requirement is, when program execute SIGTRAP call, I need to capture that and handover the job to another process | 11:19 |
| gogeta | chirag_d_gr8: make a script out of that then you can do it with a click. | 11:19 |
| violinappren | mlkushan: try #kernelnewbies (it's not on freenode, but oftc? i think) | 11:20 |
| mlkushan | oskar-: I am writing a syscall filter using libseccomp library, When the a undefined (syscall that is not i the allowed list) syscall is found program issues the SIGTRAP syscall. | 11:20 |
| mlkushan | violinappren: Ok thanks | 11:20 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | gogeta: you mean copy this in gedit and turn it into executable file? | 11:21 |

| compdoc | is there a package that can benchmark ram while the OS is running? | 11:22 |
| koud | tenX: so then the guide is broken? | 11:22 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | gofeta: i know only that much in linux :) | 11:22 |

| timhildred | hey gang, I just upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04.1, and on the reboot, it says it can't intialize X (something with the colourd group) and also that the "/" disk is not ready or present | 11:24 |
| timhildred | can anyone help me get bootable? | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip | timhildred: do you use proprietary video drivers? | 11:24 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | gogeta: is there any condition that i can use in scripting such that it returns what i am using and toggle accordingle? | 11:24 |
| timhildred | nope ActionParsnip | 11:24 |
| gogeta | chirag_d_gr8: yep run as termnal file enter pass and it runs | 11:24 |
| gogeta | chirag_d_gr8: thers more complex scripting to make it a simple click | 11:25 |
| tenX | koud: yeah either the guide or the openvpn package missing the openssl.cnf | 11:25 |
| gogeta | chirag_d_gr8: or even 1 script for on off you can look that up laer heh | 11:26 |
| gogeta | later | 11:26 |
| lotuspsychje | in wich log can i find mouse pointer problems? | 11:26 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | gogeta: hmm...maybe two script file named on and off is better than searching and scripting | 11:27 |
| violinappren | lotuspsychje: perhaps in /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 11:27 |
| gogeta | chirag_d_gr8: thats the easy way just make shure they both have sudo and run as termnel so you can enter the pass | 11:27 |
| koud | tenX: anyways thanks for the help :) will probably move to another os for my openvpn instead | 11:28 |
| timhildred | ActionParsnip, the weird thing is, even though it says that "/" is not present or ready, if i press M to maually look around, "/" is mounted, but read only | 11:28 |
| tenX | koud: why? | 11:28 |
| === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st | ||
| gogeta | chirag_d_gr8: its a cmmon issue i whont be shocked if you can find a premade script | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip | timhildred: have you tried booting to liveCD and fsck the partition, make sure it's ok | 11:29 |
| timhildred | its a netbook, with no cd. when i ran fsck from that manual shell, it said it was fine | 11:30 |
| timhildred | ActionParsnip, | 11:30 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | gogeta: yea there is one :D | 11:30 |
| timhildred | ActionParsnip, trying again now, i've fallen back on my fedora16 installation | 11:31 |
| cdshan | Dr_Willis: Please have a look at this and help me out: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1166107/ | 11:31 |
| cookburn | I'am have a hard Problem whit my Wlan on a Dell Latitude 820 whit Ubuntu 12.04 is not going who can help on this Problem ? | 11:31 |
| oskar- | timhildred: check it from a live cd while unmounted and use the force option. i suggest to also check the fstab content, if every automatically mounted device is really present | 11:32 |
| timhildred | ActionParsnip, looks like other people had this problem, there was a thread in the forums that got marked "solved" even though the solution was just nuke and pave your OS, which isn't cool. oskar- i'm doing it now, i did look at the fstab content, and blkid, and its all there | 11:32 |
| koud | tenX: well overall it seemed likkvme too much work to get this working, I will probably continue using ubuntu as host os but then add other virtual servers using virtualbox/kvm with pfsense or some other solution that has it set up in a easy way | 11:33 |
| ActionParsnip | timhildred: tbh I've never upgraded. I always clean install. Much eaier imho | 11:33 |
| timhildred | oskar-, ActionParsnip, the fsck was fast, and finished with "Pass 5: Checking group summary information | 11:34 |
| timhildred | Ubuntu: 601840/3055616 files (0.3% non-contiguous), 7592352/12206958 blocks | 11:34 |
| timhildred | " | 11:34 |
| timhildred | does that look alright? | 11:34 |
| Mechdave | timhildred, ActionParsnip I always found an upgrade to have little problems that a fresh install doesn't have | 11:34 |
| oskar- | timhildred: yes, but please don't paste multiple lines here ;) | 11:34 |
| violinappren | cookburn: open the dash (top left button) and search for "driver".. then click on Additional Drivers .. do you see an entry for your wireless card? | 11:36 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | A general linux query. When i made a shell script executable which requires admin password, will that execute with a single click? i cannot execute on clicking it and shows a little red bar over it | 11:36 |
| MonkeyDust | chirag_d_gr8 you'll need sudo or gksudo | 11:37 |
| timhildred | oops, sorry oskar- . Mechdave, i was hoping that my LTS conservatism would pay off in smooth upgrades | 11:37 |
| Dr_Willis | hmm | 11:37 |
| timhildred | i kind of thought that was the point of LTS | 11:37 |
| violinappren | chirag_d_gr8: use gksudo instead of sudo | 11:37 |
| theadmin | chirag_d_gr8: It likely won't execute on clicking, only via terminals. You can use gksudo to ask for password in GUIs | 11:37 |
| Dr_Willis | if you never use ppas or otger things it shoukd be smooth.but therrs such varity in hardware these days. | 11:38 |
| theadmin | timhildred: The one and *only* point of LTS is longer support. | 11:38 |
| theadmin | Mostly for enterprise, imo | 11:38 |
| timhildred | and enterprises will blow away their 10.04 install base to upgrade to 12.04? | 11:39 |
| GirlyGirl | theadmin: Arguably more stable and bug free when it has been out for sometime | 11:39 |
| Dr_Willis | wenatill | 11:39 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | gksudo is not working. I am using kubuntu | 11:39 |
| timhildred | GirlyGirl, thats the stuff | 11:39 |
| timhildred | like, a bug free upgrade process ;) | 11:40 |
| ActionParsnip | chirag_d_gr8: then run: kdesu kate | 11:40 |
| theadmin | GirlyGirl: "Arguably". I never experienced much instability (nor much stability, really) in Ubuntu whatsoever. It's somewhere in the middle. | 11:40 |
| theadmin | ActionParsnip: Woah there. Unlike with "gksu" and "gksudo", "kdesu" and "kdesudo" are entirely different programs. "kdesu" uses su (and fails) | 11:40 |
| cookburn | Hello violinappren, this have i'am do and i'am have a propertie driver from the BMC4311 wlan card, the driver is going i'am have all Commands do and i'am can postet here but this are 3 Seites, you can all Computer answers see wenn you go on Ubuntu Form Communitie-> main Support->Hardware and Laptops-> i'am have postet under dell latitude 820 Wlan is not going, | 11:41 |
| timhildred | theadmin, 10.04 was super stable. now i'm stuck running fedora 16 until i figure out how to make ubuntu boot | 11:41 |
| theadmin | timhildred: What is the actual problem? | 11:41 |
| violinappren | cookburn: pardon me, i don't really understand much of what you said, what is your native language? | 11:42 |
| cookburn | german | 11:43 |
| Dr_Willis | !broadcoM | 11:43 |

| oskar- | timhildred: try to find out, what may block the boot progress, e.g. try "mount -a" from the shell you get. maybe it tells you, that something else is not ready, and therefore it does not finish mounting everything "rw". for X i suggest to move away xorg configuration files, that are not provided by the packages... | 11:43 |
| timhildred | theadmin, the problem is that when i boot, i get stuck at something like "/ is missing or not ready, either wait or press s to skip or m" | 11:43 |
| timhildred | oskar-, i haven't used xorg.conf | 11:44 |
| theadmin | timhildred: Uhh. Is your fstab correct? | 11:44 |
| timhildred | theadmin, yep | 11:44 |
| timhildred | all mounted by blkids | 11:44 |
| timhildred | all blkids are correct | 11:44 |
| theadmin | timhildred: Does your initrd get loaded? | 11:45 |
| cookburn | sorry but i'am have postet in english | 11:45 |
| MonkeyDust | timhildred type sudo fdisk -l|pastebinit and paste the url here | 11:45 |
| timhildred | theadmin, i don't know how to tell. MonkeyDust one sec | 11:47 |
| oskar- | well, very likely, if you are stuck in the middle of the boot process and your root fs is already mounted read-only... | 11:47 |
| cookburn | Hello violinappren can you not understand what i'am say ? | 11:48 |
| timhildred | MonkeyDust, http://fpaste.org/N8Kf/ | 11:48 |
| meio | Hello Question if I apply a patch that is meant for a driver in opensuse for the same ethernet card will it work and how do I apply patches? I have struggling for this an entire week this is my last resort | 11:49 |
| violinappren | cookburn: just little of it | 11:49 |
| timhildred | MonkeyDust, sda5 is the ubuntu partition | 11:49 |
| Zentaur | hi | 11:49 |
| cookburn | OK then i'am need more Time from my technical answer for you the i'am think going it, what you mean ? | 11:50 |
| noname120 | hi guys | 11:50 |
| gordonjcp | cookburn: deutsch? | 11:50 |
| Dr_Willis | meio: most patches would be for specific versions of kernel sources. | 11:50 |
| gordonjcp | cookburn: #ubuntu-de ? | 11:50 |
| noname120 | I'm having problems to add the wine repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa | 11:50 |
| noname120 | Every port is blocked by my ISP but the port 80 (http) | 11:50 |
| Zentaur | I've read that the kernel included with 12.04 has a big bug. It conumes 40% more energy than 2.6 | 11:50 |
| Dr_Willis | meio: ubuntu and other disrtos may have their own patched kernel source trees also. | 11:50 |
| violinappren | cookburn: join #ubuntu-de and ask for help there, they speak german | 11:50 |
| noname120 | So I retrieved the key from my browser using the port 80 and added it in the software manager by sudo apt-key add ./key.txt | 11:50 |
| noname120 | Output was "OK" | 11:50 |
| Zentaur | I mean 40% more of processor | 11:51 |
| noname120 | , I try to add the repository using sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa | 11:51 |
| noname120 | But it tries to retrieve the key from the server even if I already added the key with apt-key add | 11:51 |
| MonkeyDust | timhildred and mount|grep ^/dev | pastebinit ? | 11:51 |
| meio | I have no problems in reinstalling I already reinstalled 11.10 12.04 and 12.04.1 today 2 times already | 11:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Zentaur: theres been known power saveing issues depending on your hardware. Cant say ive noticed any cpu drains however. | 11:51 |
| noname120 | Is there a way to "enforce" the add-apt-repository to use internal keys instead of the ones on keyserver.ubuntu.com | 11:51 |
| Dr_Willis | brb | 11:51 |
| Guest31982 | Dr_Willis: could you please help me with the boot problem? | 11:52 |
| meio | here's the patch : https://build.opensuse.org/package/files?package=r8169&project=home%3AAkoellh%3AKernelmodules&rev=3237079cd1aa481b5ba90835d213b26b | 11:52 |
| Zentaur | the new 3.3 kernel solved that energy saving problems. will ubuntu update 12.04 to kernel 3.3? | 11:52 |
| theadmin | noname120: You can add the "deb http://repo.example.org main" (or such) line manually into any file ending in .list in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 11:52 |
| MonkeyDust | Zentaur maybe 12.10, but not 12.04 | 11:53 |
| cookburn | #join ubuntu-de | 11:53 |
| Zentaur | mmm but 12.10 is not lts | 11:53 |
| vyrgozunqk | guys i've installed gnome-panel but i can't see xchat in the tray or skype | 11:53 |
| MonkeyDust | cookburn it's /join | 11:53 |
| vyrgozunqk | i've edited with dconf everything | 11:54 |
| oskar- | Zentaur: i guess, ubuntu applies patches to the used kernel, that fix severe problems. i would just give it a try | 11:54 |
| vyrgozunqk | everything is whitelisted | 11:54 |
| noname120 | theadmin: but the weirdest thing is that if I add it in the software sources manager, it works. But then, if I try to apt-get install wine1.5 it says the package doesn't exists | 11:54 |
| theadmin | noname120: After adding, you have to do apt-get update to download package lists. | 11:54 |
| noname120 | of course | 11:54 |
| noname120 | (it's automatically done by the manager anyways) | 11:54 |
| Zentaur | oskar-, you may be right, I don't want to downgrade or use a non lts version | 11:55 |
| timhildred | MonkeyDust, http://fpaste.org/obUs/ | 11:55 |
| oskar- | Zentaur: i suggest to try/measure it with a live cd | 11:55 |
| MonkeyDust | timhildred / is there, looks ok to me | 11:55 |
| timhildred | MonkeyDust, that said, i'm doing this from fedora where i've mounted the ubuntu partition, so those mount options are not the ones in the ubuntu fstab | 11:56 |
| timhildred | the ubuntu fstab has UUID=ce610182-8251-43a6-b5fa-d7ca7b5970cc / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 | 11:56 |
| timhildred | oops | 11:56 |
| timhildred | but yeah MonkeyDust | 11:56 |
| MonkeyDust | timhildred ah, idd, it's different, i was confused about /media/Ubuntu | 11:56 |
| Orpheon | My system started doing some very strange things recently. Every trace of external connections of any kind have disappeared, from network connections (wired) not showing up nor working, pulseaudio not starting because it can't find something, external hardware not even getting detected in Disk Utility, and the whole thing can't shut down either (perpetual black screen). Switching kernel versions didn't help, Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit. Any idea | 11:56 |
| Orpheon | s? | 11:56 |
| Guest31982 | could some one help me with efi partion please, I am trying to install ubuntu 12.04 - 64 bit on my lenovo B570 laptop and would not boot up after the installation, on searching the net I found that there is some problem with the efi partion but I did not get any solutions. Can some one help me?? | 11:56 |
| MonkeyDust | timhildred so it's all there, but we need to know what ubuntu shows | 11:57 |
| Guest31982 | I tried using the boot-repair option but did not work, may be i did something wrong. | 11:57 |
| Zentaur | oskar-, do you mean to try 12.10 with a live cd? | 11:57 |
| timhildred | MonkeyDust, how do you mean? | 11:57 |
| Zentaur | I already have 12.04 installedd | 11:57 |
| MonkeyDust | timhildred try to boot ubuntu somehow, maybe text only, then show mount | 11:58 |
| timhildred | MonkeyDust, do you mean the boot error message? | 11:58 |

| noname120 | theadmin: do you see the repository of wine here ? http://pastebin.com/tCnWYgH6 | 11:58 |
| timhildred | it does that errors=remount,ro thing | 11:58 |
| timhildred | MonkeyDust, | 11:58 |
| theadmin | noname120: ppas don't really present their names in that list... | 11:59 |
| oskar- | Zentaur: yes, for example... | 11:59 |
| danny | how do i make it so i get the latest experimental updates via the command line | 11:59 |
| theadmin | danny: Ubuntu doesn't have "unstable" or "experimental" branches. | 12:00 |
| theadmin | danny: You can install alpha, beta or RC releases though. Current unstable is Quantal. See #ubuntu+1 for details on that. | 12:00 |
| noname120 | apt-get remove linux | 12:00 |
| noname120 | Why is linux so wfull to do anything ? | 12:00 |
| noname120 | Repos, keys, conflicts etc | 12:00 |
| noname120 | I hate this way of thinking* | 12:01 |
| danny | theadmin: thought there was a way to change my updates to get the newest | 12:01 |
| noname120 | Apps should be standalone and portable | 12:01 |
| noname120 | linux is even worse than windows on this point | 12:01 |
| th__ | hello. how do i change ubuntu's login manager? | 12:01 |
| Zentaur | well, let's try :) | 12:01 |
| oskar- | noname120: if you want it the easy way (and lose control), look for other operating systems. gnu/linux will not be the solution then. | 12:02 |
| theadmin | noname120: It would take ages to explain it, but it's actually better this way. With Windows, you have the same libraries (for instance) installed over and over and over and over for many apps. Here you install them once, they're always there, and they're only there when you need them (that is, when something depends on them) | 12:02 |
| k1l_ | noname120: then just use windows and be happy. but dont blame us/linux | 12:02 |
| Zentaur | or maybe I can upgrade my kernel to 3.5 | 12:02 |
| timhildred | noname120 may be trolling | 12:02 |
| Zentaur | let's see if I destroy my netbook :) | 12:02 |
| Orpheon | My system started doing some very strange things recently. Every trace of external connections of any kind have disappeared, from network connections (wired) not showing up nor working, pulseaudio not starting because it can't find something, external hardware not even getting detected in Disk Utility, and the whole thing can't shut down either (perpetual black screen). Switching kernel versions didn't help, Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit. Any idea | 12:02 |
| Orpheon | s? | 12:02 |
| noname120 | Too bad there is no linux distro made easy | 12:03 |
| timhildred | Orpheon, does it boot? | 12:03 |
| Orpheon | yes | 12:03 |
| Orpheon | it boots fine | 12:03 |
| timhildred | like if you power it off by holding down power button | 12:03 |
| bazhang | noname120, lets move back on topic please | 12:03 |
| k1l_ | !ot > noname120 | 12:03 |
| ubottu | noname120, please see my private message | 12:03 |
| Orpheon | timhildred, no, but I don't think it ever did that | 12:03 |
| Orpheon | but all aspects of the system apart from what I outlined work | 12:04 |
| timhildred | so Orpheon, what state is it in now? is it running and you're on another computer? | 12:04 |
| theadmin | noname120: Want to install apps offline? Makes sense. Make a mirror of all or individual packages. Use AptOnCD. There are tons of solutions. | 12:04 |
| noname120 | I needed hours and hours to get my wireless chip working (not officially supported), now I need to take hours to install wine (tried with the 20 .deb way but there are always dependances to satisfy :/) | 12:04 |
| Orpheon | I have a tripleboot | 12:04 |
| oskar- | Orpheon: we need technical details, error messages. what did you change compared to the last working state? | 12:04 |
| k1l_ | noname120: "sudo apt-get install wine" done | 12:05 |
| theadmin | noname120: Uh. You connect to a network and use APT. | 12:05 |
| Orpheon | eskar-: I don't know | 12:05 |
| noname120 | And I'll get an heavily old version | 12:05 |
| theadmin | noname120: 1.4 is the latest stable. | 12:05 |
| noname120 | By the way, why isn't the wine version on official packages up-to-date ? | 12:05 |
| === mohamed is now known as Guest79732 | ||
| k1l_ | noname120: when you demand the "windows: newer is better" thinking. then use windows. thats it | 12:05 |
| MonkeyDust | noname120 because the latest is noy always the best or most stable | 12:06 |

| noname120 | I suggest to continue that on #ubuntu-offtopic | 12:07 |
| Zentaur | how do i disable that please | 12:07 |
| theadmin | th__: Simply "apt-get install" a new one. | 12:08 |
| bazhang | Zentaur, which irc client | 12:08 |
| theadmin | th__: It will then change to the new one (actually give a menu selecting which you want) | 12:08 |
| Zentaur | x-chat | 12:08 |
| bazhang | th__, from lightdm to something else? | 12:08 |
| th__ | theadmin actually do you remember name of that "menu" | 12:08 |
| bazhang | Zentaur, quite easily in the xchat preferences menu | 12:08 |
| th__ | bazhang back to lightdm | 12:08 |

| glauco29 | the song is playing but there is no sound | 12:11 |
| jgcampbell300 | maybe its muted | 12:11 |
| glauco29 | it is not I have seen | 12:11 |

| oskar- | Orpheon: sorry, that is not possible without details... is your hardware ok, what did you change, what error messages do appear? what do you mean with "trace of external connections", "pulseaudio [...] can't find something" | 12:14 |
| Orpheon | ok | 12:14 |
| Orpheon | I can get the pulseaudio error messag | 12:14 |
| Orpheon | e | 12:14 |
| glauco29 | Must I uninstall ubuntu-restricted-extras to see if this is the problem | 12:14 |
| glauco29 | ? | 12:14 |
| ActionParsnip | glauco29: try: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* wait 10 seconds then reboot | 12:14 |
| Orpheon | but apart from that, I have no idea where to look for problems | 12:14 |
| glauco29 | it is working now ActionParsnip | 12:15 |
| glauco29 | you kill the proccess? | 12:15 |
| jgcampbell300 | Orpheon: i would suggest a detiled discription of your system, config, and the problem ... maybe somone will recognize the problem | 12:15 |
| ActionParsnip | glauco29: yes, to free the data, you can then delete the folder and it wil make new settings | 12:16 |

| ubottu | noname120: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea.

| yellabs-r2 | why does ubuntu keep the old kernels ? | 12:24 |
| cfhowlett | yellabs-r2: greetings | 12:24 |
| jjkinas | it seems like the kernel needs be told to ignore my apu graphics and just use my 6670 | 12:24 |
| ActionParsnip | yellabs-r2: so if the newer one goes funny, you can boot back to the old one | 12:24 |
| theadmin | yellabs-r2: In case the newer kernel doesn't work out for you, you can boot to an older one. | 12:24 |
| MonkeyDust | yellabs-r2 in case something goes wrong with the newest | 12:24 |
| _coder_ | are you understand my question? | 12:24 |
| cfhowlett | yellabs-r2: if a new kernel causes problems you can boot the old one | 12:24 |
| yellabs-r2 | i can understand keeping one or two, but i have a list of 6 | 12:24 |

| ActionParsnip | WeThePeople: if you run: swapoff it will free the file | 12:55 |
| killer_ | ActionParsnip | 12:55 |
| ActionParsnip | WeThePeople: why are you using visudo? | 12:55 |
| atari314 | Guys, does anyone know where lightdm set vsync? | 12:55 |
| WeThePeople | actionparsnip, just messin around | 12:56 |
| killer_ | ActionParsnip : actually it's my frnd's pc ......so i think it will b a long time ago | 12:56 |
| pietro10 | Hi. I noticed that the pcspkr module is blacklisted because "ugly and loud noise, getting on everyone's nerves; this should be done by a nice pulseaudio bing (Ubuntu: #77010)". How do I produce a "nice pulseaudio bing" on the command line? Thanks. | 12:56 |
| ActionParsnip | killer_: could be worth checking, make sure the datas are consistant | 12:56 |
| pietro10 | such as an equivalent to beep | 12:56 |
| ActionParsnip | pietro10: you can use aplay to play an MP3 or OGG etc, in terminal | 12:57 |
| killer_ | let me check :ActionParsnip | 12:57 |
| pietro10 | :/ | 12:57 |
| pietro10 | thanks anyway | 12:58 |
| ActionParsnip | pietro10: wassup? | 12:58 |
| pietro10 | I'm just interested in getting a simple beep | 12:58 |
| pietro10 | I know my system has a PC speaker because Pidgin on Windows used it | 12:58 |
| ActionParsnip | pietro10: then grab a sound file of the sound you want and have the command play that... | 12:58 |
| killer_ | ActionParsnip :it's showing the data when i run windows | 12:58 |
| ActionParsnip | killer_: then get the partitions checked | 12:58 |
| pietro10 | yeah | 12:59 |
| pietro10 | I'll just use one of kopete's sounds, thanks | 12:59 |
| Darkenvy | I need help. My fresh install is only a week old and gnome is freezing and crashing all the time | 12:59 |
| ActionParsnip | pietro10: weet, just find the sound and you can play it | 12:59 |
| Darkenvy | where can I find the logs to see whats happening? | 12:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Darkenvy: have you tested your RAM? | 13:00 |
| Darkenvy | That couldnt be the issue :O | 13:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Darkenvy: why not? | 13:01 |
| Darkenvy | because.... | 13:01 |
| alii_ | hello!! | 13:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Darkenvy: not a very good attitude.. | 13:01 |
| Darkenvy | I'm always terrified of testing ram because in the olden days it would always be bad | 13:01 |
| cfhowlett | alii_: greetings | 13:01 |
| Darkenvy | LOL ActionParsnip im playing around with ya | 13:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Darkenvy: then it needs replacing | 13:01 |
| Darkenvy | I just hadnt thought that to be the case | 13:01 |
| alii_ | Im a beginer of linux | 13:02 |
| Darkenvy | well let me test it within the next few hours (after I grab my important files) and ill come back | 13:02 |
| Darkenvy | will you be here in a few hours AP? | 13:02 |
| compdoc | Darkenvy, open the disk utility. click your OS hdd, and then look at the drive's health. Does it show any bad sectors? | 13:02 |
| alii_ | & I wanna get high | 13:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Darkenvy: more than likely | 13:03 |
| bazhang | alii_, this is ubuntu support only | 13:03 |
| Darkenvy | actually no compdoc :\ | 13:03 |
| WeThePeople | actionparsnip, so visudo puts files in the swap space in a tmp dir? | 13:03 |
| WeThePeople | to be edited | 13:03 |
| alii_ | cfhowlett - how can I see anybody spy for me?? | 13:04 |
| bazhang | alii_, what does that mean | 13:04 |
| ActionParsnip | WeThePeople: not surem never had to mess with it, the admin/sudo group does all I needs | 13:04 |
| bazhang | alii_, do you have any actual Ubuntu support questions | 13:04 |
| WeThePeople | alii_,like online | 13:04 |

| anddam | hi | 13:14 |
| cfhowlett | anddam: greetings | 13:14 |
| anddam | when installing from desktop install disk there's a repository copy into the iso image, isn't there? | 13:14 |
| anddam | I've been asked to install linux on a offline computer, I wonder if I can copy the repository on the hd and have the use install packages from there when needed | 13:15 |
| anddam | I'm assuming the default installation isn't going to install every available package on the ISO | 13:15 |
| cfhowlett | anddam: use the DVD iso image | 13:15 |
| auronandace | !aptoncd | anddam | 13:15 |
| ubottu | anddam: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline | 13:15 |
| anddam | but the question still applies, the ISO contain a repository and that's the one added to apt sources.conf | 13:16 |
| anddam | auronandace: I'm not sure how that's helpful | 13:16 |
| atari314 | Does anyone know where Lightdm stores the sessions configs? | 13:16 |
| anddam | auronandace: I don't have downloaded packages | 13:16 |
| === cjsarette is now known as krazee | ||
| auronandace | anddam: sorry, wrong factoid | 13:17 |
| anddam | cfhowlett: I forgot a question mark, with both CD or DVD ISO I have a repository that I can copy on the HD, right? | 13:17 |
| bazhang | anddam, not with the live cd, no | 13:18 |
| bazhang | anddam, get the alternate if you want to do that. | 13:18 |
| anddam | bazhang: so far I've seen three kind of install disc, desktop, alternate and server, I'm not sure which one is the live cd you referred to | 13:18 |
| anddam | kinds* | 13:18 |
| cfhowlett | anddam: as bazhang states: alternate | 13:18 |
| bazhang | anddam, alternate. | 13:19 |
| anddam | ok alternate it is | 13:19 |
| anddam | from what I read on the site the difference is in the installer, alternate has possibly a text mode install with more options available, right? | 13:19 |
| cfhowlett | anddam: correctomundo | 13:19 |
| bazhang | anddam, its install only. no live mode "try it out" | 13:20 |
| anddam | sounds good | 13:20 |
| anddam | so desktop is the live cd | 13:20 |
| cfhowlett | anddam: right | 13:20 |
| aguitel | i am in 10.04 and kernel panic occours ,how i know why this ? | 13:20 |
| yellabs-r2 | can i get bash man in my own locale ? NL | 13:21 |
| anddam | also I see alternate image in ftp list but I don't see it listed in http://www.ubuntu.com/download where there're desktop, server and "cloud" | 13:21 |
| savio | ActionParsnip, i completed 3 pass | 13:21 |
| cfhowlett | aguitel: perhaps it's time to update to 12.04. Don't know why you're getting kernel panic | 13:21 |
| aguitel | cfhowlett, i never will upgrade to gnome 3 | 13:22 |
| cfhowlett | aguitel: ??? xfce, lxde are also options you know. | 13:22 |
| ThinkT510 | aguitel: all gnome2 support from ubuntu ends in april | 13:22 |
| anddam | yellabs-r2: I'd say something like LANG=nl man bash but I don't know how the localized subdir are called | 13:22 |
| jmcs | ActionParsnip I've already done it, I'm not finding anything useful, besides this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-modeswitch-data/+bug/948153 that says my modem should be supported on 12.04 | 13:23 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 948153 in usb-modeswitch-data (Ubuntu) "Huawei E392 is not register to mobile broadband network" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 13:23 |
| big-mac | cfhowlett & WeThePeople i installed the restricted extras rebooted and i still have the same problem | 13:23 |
| WeThePeople | big-mac, exactly what is going on | 13:23 |
| cfhowlett | big-mac: try viewing non-youtube, e.g. vimeo and hulu streaming | 13:23 |
| anddam | is the DVD image alternate or desktop? | 13:24 |
| aguitel | ThinkT510, maybe mate or cinnamon is our future | 13:24 |
| cfhowlett | big-mac: also make sure you have all upgrades; apt-get updates apt-get upgrades apt-get dist-upgrade will take you to 12.04.1 | 13:24 |
| cfhowlett | anddam: seem to recall it's alternate | 13:24 |
| ThinkT510 | aguitel: if canonical ever supports them, but for now no | 13:25 |
| anddam | sounds even better | 13:25 |
| ThinkT510 | aguitel: i've always preferred xfce | 13:25 |
| aguitel | ThinkT510, ok | 13:25 |
| anddam | after installing the system is tehre an option to copy the repository or should I just copy the tree somewhere and edit sources.conf? I never used a "local" deb repo | 13:26 |
| cfhowlett | aguitel: xfce was adopted as the platform when ubuntustudio needed to transition from gnome. I am quite pleased with it. | 13:26 |
| big-mac | WeThePeople i cannot watch videos on youtube in full screen the videos keep freezing and there alot of videos that will not play it says my flash player needs to be updated i have install the latest adobe flash player in firefox i have tried a few diffrent flavours of ubuntu and i have the same problem in all | 13:26 |

| nbags | deadmund: my behavior of ctrl-w 'ing when im done with things | 13:54 |
| deadmund | nbags: haha, well you control the machine. The simplest thing to do is not close nautilus if you want it to stay in ram. As I said though, check out preload, or puppy linux. The next step is to edit the source code of nautilus I think. (which will be very hard) | 13:55 |
| user82 | Myke974_ i do not completely understand your trouble here but does this work? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1870817 | 13:56 |
| nbags | yeah i have preload already. nautilus used to be open all the time cause it managed the icons on the desktop. but that changed at some point | 13:56 |
| deadmund | nbags: that changed with the switch from gnome to unity. preload is probably making nautilus faster (if you open it a lot) but it's probably not notice-able to the naked eye. | 13:56 |
| Myke974_ | user82: I just found the solutioon and exactly the same you provided! thanks a lot ! | 13:57 |

| === willy is now known as Guest98910 | ||
| nbags | krababbel: ntpd wont work if your clock is too far out | 14:02 |
| krababbel | Maybe it is a non issue anyway, because ntpd would keep sync on a system running all the time, and ntpdate would run once at boot for my desktop? | 14:02 |

| sveinse | What boot option do I need to get kernel boot messages printed on console when booting. I have removed "splash" from kernel command line, yet that did not help. The screen is still blank between grub and login. | 14:08 |
| krababbel | :) Also I just did a test install, using lightdm, and i3-wm and urxvt-unicode. The default bright background in uvxrt wasn't there. Now I reinstalled and chose my usual xdm instead of lightdm, and the colours were correct. Why would that be? Also in Irssi, when I pressed ALT+NUMBER under lightdm, it wrote a three in exponent instead of switching windows. Again, my last install with XDM does this correctly and switches windows inste | 14:08 |

| Achnazoor | I'm wondering about something: | 14:12 |
| soman | Hi all! I have got aconfigure problem -> http://paste.kde.org/539402/ What could be a problem? | 14:12 |
| soman | Just tryin to configure sources with auto-apt | 14:12 |
| bekks | Missing execution permission for ./configure | 14:12 |
| soman | bekks, I'm 2nd day under Linux (ubuntu 12.04). How to solve it? | 14:13 |
| BluesKaj | HIyas all | 14:13 |
| ActionParsnip | bekks: if you mark it executable, is it ok? | 14:14 |
| bekks | soman: What exactly are you trying to install? | 14:14 |
| bekks | ActionParsnip: At least for the configure script, thats ok. | 14:14 |
| Achnazoor | i've this laptop with a busted graphics card and i'm trying to set it up as a headless _graphic based_ server; now, i know I can do this with windows remote desktop, as it uses a dummy graphics driver for remote desktops - can I do something similar with ubuntu? (i.e. setup a remotely accesible x server that bypasses the laptop's graphics card) | 14:15 |
| soman | bekks: I want to compile gcc 4.7.1 | 14:15 |
| bekks | Achnazoor: What do you mean by "graphic based" server? | 14:15 |
| bekks | Achnazoor: You dont need an running X server on a server to run X apps from it. | 14:16 |
| Achnazoor | i mean a window system. as opposed to a terminal system. | 14:16 |
| bekks | soman: Why do you need gcc 4.7.1? | 14:16 |
| bekks | Achnazoor: You dont need a running window system on a server to run graphical applications from that server. | 14:16 |
| soman | I want to compile my project which I created under Windows with 4.7.1 | 14:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Achnazoor: what are you going to use the server for? | 14:17 |
| Achnazoor | i'm just looking to set it up as a media server/torrent machine. (at this point it's just sitting here gathering dust like an ugly paperweight, so...) | 14:18 |
| bekks | Achnazoor: For doing so, you dont need a window system on that server. | 14:18 |
| soman | I meant with C++11 | 14:19 |
| Achnazoor | I realize that, I was just wondering if i could set it up that way, since I can with windows...(frankly i'm not exacly a linux power user. :-p) | 14:19 |
| bekks | Achnazoor: You cant set up windows without a window system, thats the difference. | 14:20 |
| Meris | I want to install Ubuntu 112.04.1 LTS on a Macbook 2.1 (Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, Intel 950 GMA). Which version should I choose, ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64+mac.iso, or ubuntu-12.04.1-alternate-amd64.iso? | 14:20 |
| MonkeyDust | !mac | 14:21 |
| ubottu | For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 14:21 |
| Achnazoor | You sort of lost me there, bekks, what do you mean? | 14:21 |
| Meris | 112.04.1 => 12.04.1 ;-) | 14:21 |
| Meris | MonkeyDust, thx for the link! | 14:21 |
| bekks | Achnazoor: I am saying that you do not need any window system on a server, because that will introduce unnecessary security issues. And of course, you CAN do so, but thats not recommended. | 14:22 |
| Achnazoor | point taken. Thanks bekks. | 14:26 |
| MonkeyDust | Achnazoor in linux, you only need a command line on your server, a graphical interface is optional | 14:26 |
| lco124 | someone know spanish? | 14:27 |

| ubottu | 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. | 14:27 |
| kiyoura | wouldnt better terminology be 'terminal', MonkeyDust? | 14:27 |
| Achnazoor | yeah, i know. (it's just more confortable with it) | 14:27 |
| MoTec | I manage a couple dozen *nix machines and not one has any kinda of GUI. Heck, none of mine do. | 14:27 |
| MonkeyDust | kiyoura maybe, but terminal is a program | 14:27 |
| lco124 | terminal is a shell... | 14:27 |

| Bitgod | what is the most popular SERIAL / CONSOLE app? | 14:30 |
| Bitgod | one that lets you TYPE commands too | 14:30 |
| lco124 | i think is wget | 14:30 |
| lco124 | bitgod i think it is wget | 14:31 |
| lco124 | or Python | 14:31 |
| Bitgod | no ... | 14:31 |
| Bitgod | wget is a file downloader | 14:31 |
| Bitgod | phython is a prog lang :P | 14:31 |
| lco124 | but wget executes on a terminal | 14:31 |
| lco124 | and python (runtime) on unix starts as a terminal app | 14:32 |
| lco124 | in win32 starts as a program | 14:32 |

| MonkeyDust | newubuntuuser in a terminal type xrandr, then explore it further | 14:45 |
| ThinkT510 | killer_: open synaptic and search for it to uninstall | 14:45 |
| ActionParsnip | killer_: you can use apt-get or software centre as you expect, you can see the installed kernels with: dpkg -l | grep linux-image | 14:45 |
| killer_ | grep shows 3 versions...... ....if i want 2 uninstall 3.2.0 .... what should i do | 14:47 |
| killer_ | got it | 14:48 |
| ActionParsnip | killer_: the 2nd colomn is the package name, just don't install the package name whichj doesn't have a version number | 14:48 |
| MonkeyDust | newubuntuuser install arandr, it may be what you need | 14:48 |

| ActionParsnip | ManOnMars: http://linux.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Administration/GSmartControl-41861.shtml | 14:55 |
| MonkeyDust | ManOnMars ther's gsmartcontrol in the software center | 14:55 |
| ActionParsnip | !info gsmartcontrol | 14:56 |
| ubottu | gsmartcontrol (source: gsmartcontrol): graphical user interface for smartctl. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.8.6-1ubuntu1 (precise), package size 598 kB, installed size 1621 kB | 14:56 |
| ActionParsnip | ManOnMars: did you even search software centre, you would have found that...!? | 14:56 |
| ManOnMars | ActionParsnip, yeah | 14:56 |
| ManOnMars | i install from command line though | 14:57 |
| ActionParsnip | ManOnMars: thats fine, but searching in software centre ould have found that | 14:57 |
| * MonkeyDust learned something, by helping somebody else | 14:57 | |
| ManOnMars | btw does anyone know where the smart info is saved? | 14:59 |
| ManOnMars | if i format the hdd does it get lost? | 14:59 |
| ManOnMars | or is there a hidden partition | 14:59 |
| krababbel | that is probably not on the platters | 15:00 |
| bekks | ManOnMars: The SMART information is stored in the controller in the harddisk. | 15:00 |
| bekks | It cant be overwritten by formatting or something. | 15:00 |
| nOStahl | searching via command line would have found that | 15:01 |
| ActionParsnip | ManOnMars: its in the IDE on the drive | 15:01 |
| bekks | IDE? | 15:02 |
| ActionParsnip | bekks: integrated drive electronics | 15:02 |
| newubuntuuser | ok well I found another way to solve it. I created another profile and deleted the broken one. That appears to be the only way to fix it. | 15:02 |
| bekks | ActionParsnip: ah! :) | 15:02 |
| ActionParsnip | bekks: its what IDE stands for.... | 15:02 |
| ActionParsnip | bekks: all drives have IDEs | 15:02 |
| truexfan81 | where is .asoundrc in 12.04? | 15:02 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Wait a minute... if that's the case what's the diff between SATA and IDE ATA? | 15:03 |
| BluesKaj | too many acronyms with the same letters but different meanings | 15:03 |
| bekks | SonikkuAmerica: Different bus system for electronic signals. | 15:03 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Oh | 15:03 |
| ActionParsnip | SonikkuAmerica: sata is just serial ATA, the PCB on the drive is the IDE, it is technically an IDE drive | 15:03 |
| ManOnMars | bekks, the controller is like a read only memory? | 15:03 |
| SonikkuAmerica | OK that makes sense. I'm a programming student, not an engineer. | 15:04 |
| bekks | ManOnMars: No. Somehow, the data in there must have been written into it ;) | 15:04 |
| ActionParsnip | SonikkuAmerica: old drives didn't have IDEs, and the controller did all the work | 15:04 |
| bekks | ManOnMars: You, as a user, can only read that data. | 15:04 |
| ManOnMars | My hdd lid is constantly on, whatever i try to do takes for ages while the hdd appears to be in use. Might this be caused from bad sectors on the hdd that cause read/write errors? | 15:05 |
| MonkeyDust | !info devhelp > SonikkuAmerica | 15:05 |
| bekks | ManOnMars: Take a look at the SMART information then. | 15:05 |
| ManOnMars | bekks, i am now. i see some read write errors and a prefailure-status. can this cause the hdd lid to appear always on? | 15:06 |
| ManOnMars | and the hdd in use most of the time | 15:06 |
| ActionParsnip | SonikkuAmerica: new drives came out WITH IDEs which gave cache and S.M.A.R.T. and all kinds of fanciness, and they were called 'IDE drives' then all SCSI and SATA and stuff came and they also had IDEs | 15:06 |
| ubuntu | hey i need some help | 15:07 |

| jrib | roasted: maybe :x | 15:31 |
| roasted | I was just about to ask the channel about INCLUDE lists when I thought your name rang a bell. :P | 15:31 |
| roasted | I forget what I did with exclude lists to make it work, but with include lists, it's not flying. My command is here - rsync -az --delete --progress --include-from=/usr/local/bin/syncexternallisttest.txt /media/Xternal/ | 15:31 |
| roasted | I don't like the way it ends with /media/Xternal, because I feel like it probably thinks the destination is the source, since there's only 1 item listed. | 15:32 |
| roasted | perhaps it needs to be more like rsync -az --delete --progress /home/jason --include-from=/usr/local/bin/syncexternallisttest.txt /media/Xternal??? | 15:32 |

| jrib | roasted: what is it doing currently? Just ignoring your include patterns and copying everything? | 15:34 |
| roasted | jrib, it just comes back with speedup 0, which is what makes me think rsync assumes the dest is the source | 15:34 |

| jrib | glauco29: pastebin the output of « mount » | 15:37 |
| roasted | jrib, sounds a little counterintuitive, but I think I get what you mean. Exclude all, EXCEPT these inclues. | 15:38 |

| jrib | glauco29: it's ok, I understand pt | 15:40 |
| nicelyToasted | roasted: sure | 15:40 |

| roasted | nicelyToasted, does the -v function populate data elsewhere? Because it looks identical to running without. | 15:40 |
| nicelyToasted | -v means verbose. more output for debugging | 15:41 |
| roasted | nicelyToasted, got nadda difference here | 15:41 |

| robertgst | virtual consoles still work, the screen isnt redrawn after switching back to xorg, mouse cursor moves... | 15:50 |
| dj_segfault | viju: Yes. ext4 is the new ext3. Either will work but there's no reason to use ext3 these days over ext4. But depending on what you want to do with it another filesystem may be better, which is why I asked. | 15:51 |
| viju | Ok , what parttion does ubuntu 10.10 supports? | 15:51 |

| ActionParsnip | DonkeyHotei: then you can install the Unity shell etc once it gets installed | 16:44 |
| savio | is there any driver that i can use and also i don't have to blacklist them | 16:44 |

| theadmin | socomm: Most of the ifconfig stuff can be set in /etc/network/interfaces | 16:46 |
| ActionParsnip | socomm: you can add the option in the interfaces file if you use it, or set a command to run in /etc/rc.local to set the MTU there | 16:46 |

| riz0n | This server has been up and operational since 2008 and has taken several LTS upgrades. This is the first that has crashed. | 18:29 |
| riz0n | The only additional software that has been installed that was outside the repo was nx-server and that was done after I first set it up. | 18:30 |
| maheanuu | Looks like I got kicked, right after I posted my terminal information, we are having real problems here in Tahiti at present.. Internet service is at a super low reason unknown | 18:30 |
| ThinkT510 | riz0n: try removing it and then sudo apt-get install -f | 18:31 |
| ThinkT510 | riz0n: you'll probably want to sudo apt-get update before the install -f | 18:32 |
| maheanuu | When I use "unace" from the terminal, shouldn't I have to put a path to the .ace file I am trying to open? | 18:33 |

| Psi-Jack | maheanuu: Bleh. ACE compression is the worst I've ever seen. | 18:33 |
| riz0n | ThinkT510: thanks, even after doing an update, and then doing install -f, it still says its unable to correct dependencies. | 18:34 |

| Psi-Jack | maheanuu: Piracy is not allowed on Freenode. Even books transmitted digitally that are copyrighted and required to be purchased is piracy. | 18:37 |
| ThinkT510 | riz0n: normally dependency issues are caused by software outside the official repos or purposefully holding back (pinning) packages, i can't think what else could be at fault | 18:37 |
| maheanuu | It's not piracy, this is a paid for download | 18:38 |
| Psi-Jack | maheanuu: They do NOT distribute books in ACE compression. | 18:38 |

| Psi-Jack | maheanuu: Yeah, if you want to claim that. It's kinda common sense. Businesses will use widely popular formats to distribute stuff. That wide format would be ZIP, but primarily most ebook companies will just distribute the book in the available eBook formats they offer, PDF, Kindle, etc.. Some of which even have their own native compression, like Microsoft's Reader format. | 18:42 |

| riz0n | it looks like my sources.list are referring to "precise" updates | 18:43 |
| Migi32 | hey everyone, if I do sudo /proc/cpuinfo it says "sudo: /proc/cpuinfo: command not found". The /proc/cpuinfo file is definitely there. Any ideas? | 18:43 |
| MonkeyDust | matts45acp for a start, type sudo fdisk -l|pastebinit and paste the url here | 18:43 |
| riz0n | should I change my sources.list from precise to lucid (Since its still technically running lucid) | 18:43 |
| spanther | got my Intel DB75EN mainboard now with i5 3570k (Intel HD4000 graphics). Running fine! :-) Open Source here I come x) | 18:43 |
| MonkeyDust | matts45acp use pastebin and keep it in the channel please | 18:44 |
| ThinkT510 | riz0n: if you are running lucid then only lucid should be there | 18:44 |
| quimoniz | Migi32, what you re doin there is stupid, you essentially tell it: Run the next command with super user rights (sudo), and then you have a file there, which is not an executable... you probably want to display it with sudo cat /path/to/file | 18:45 |
| riz0n | ThinkT510: It is running lucid (10.04) I guess it changed the file on its own trying to go to 12.04. | 18:45 |
| quimoniz | Migi32, what you re doin there is stupid, you essentially tell it: Run the next command with super user rights (sudo), and then you have a file there, which is not an executable... you probably want to display it with sudo cat /path/to/file | 18:46 |
| bekks | cat /proc/cpuinfo | 18:47 |
| Migi32 | quimoniz: oh, you're right. I had no idea why I thought it was an executable. | 18:47 |
| bekks | No sudo needed, every user can read that file. | 18:47 |
| quimoniz | well I think 'less /proc/cpuinfo' will be the best | 18:47 |
| MonkeyDust | matts45acp keep it in the channel, please | 18:48 |
| Migi32 | didn't it use to be an executable that outputs your cpu info? I could've sworn it was. Maybe I'm confusing it with another command | 18:48 |
| bekks | quimoniz: I dont think so :) | 18:48 |
| quimoniz | bekks, how would it not be the best, if you just were to want to see it? | 18:48 |
| bekks | quimoniz: Besides the cpu id, the output for all cores will be identically. | 18:48 |
| bekks | quimoniz: So it is sufficient to see tha output for the last core. | 18:48 |
| MonkeyDust | !pm| matts45acp after this I will block you | 18:49 |
| ubottu | matts45acp after this I will block you: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 18:49 |
| quimoniz | Migi32, no idea, anyway try ls -l /proc/cpuinfo and it will tell you that even root has only read rights | 18:49 |
| matts45acp | oh im sorry monkeydust | 18:49 |
| riz0n | ThinkT510: After changing that file, and doing an apt-get update, when I process apt-get -f install, I get 0 upgraded, 2 newly installed, 796 to remove and 0 not upgraded... should I go ahead and proceed? It looks like its trying to pretty much remove all the software. | 18:49 |
| quimoniz | bekks, didn't know, thanks :D | 18:49 |
| matts45acp | what i was saying is it wont let me install that pastebin | 18:50 |
| MonkeyDust | matts45acp try sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 18:50 |
| matts45acp | im using ubuntu from the usb right now | 18:50 |
| matts45acp | yea i already did that | 18:50 |
| ThinkT510 | riz0n: wow, when you previously tried to upgrade did it partially go through with it or did you get the warning straight off? | 18:50 |
| MonkeyDust | matts45acp then type sudo fdisk -l|pastebinit | 18:51 |
| Migi32 | quimoniz: indeed. But so is /proc/uptime and that returns something else every time you read it. These /proc/ things are definitely not ordinary files are they? What are they? | 18:51 |
| matts45acp | i did and it said install | 18:51 |
| riz0n | ThinkT510: When I tried to do the do-upgrade-install (or whatever the command is) it got part of the way through installation and then failed. | 18:51 |
| ThinkT510 | riz0n: ah, no wonder you had precise in your sources.list then | 18:51 |
| quimoniz | Migi32, correct :D you can use the files in /proc/ to get information from the kernel, about the running system | 18:52 |
| MonkeyDust | matts45acp first install pastebinit, then use it | 18:52 |

| quimoniz | Migi32, they are mounted as type 'proc' on '/proc/' if you wanted to know it | 18:52 |
| riz0n | ThinkT510: Yeah, it screwed this system up pretty good! I had an interesting time just getting back into it and getting the / remounted to where I could actually do something with it... | 18:53 |
| matts45acp | then when i type sudo apt-get install pastebinit then it says unable to locate | 18:53 |
| Migi32 | quimoniz: so they look like ordinary files but they execute a function in the kernel every time you read them? | 18:53 |

| viju | deadmund, how | 19:05 |
| deadmund | viju: Is this chrome or chromium? | 19:05 |
| viju | chrome was default | 19:05 |
| quimoniz | matts45acp, the second, /dev/sdb is too small for ordinary Ubuntu, it only has 4 GB, required are about 10 GB | 19:05 |

| WeThePeople | viju, recommend using 'apt-get autoremove' | 19:06 |
| deadmund | viju: but you won't loose personal settings running the command I gave | 19:06 |
| matts45acp | well what about sda 5 | 19:06 |
| matts45acp | can i use that | 19:06 |
| viju | then I was always good without updates , if they are going to harm my system anyway | 19:06 |
| quimoniz | matts45acp, I would use /dev/sda5 | 19:07 |
| matts45acp | ive had it on one of them before | 19:07 |
| islandmonkey | viju: Perhaps try Google Chrome and not Chromium? | 19:07 |
| quimoniz | matts45acp, allbeit the data on it would get lost, so you know | 19:07 |
| viju | WeThePeople, apt-get autoremove , is that all? no need to specify package name? | 19:07 |
| matts45acp | i just dont remember | 19:08 |
| WeThePeople | viji, lol thereis always a need to specify a package name | 19:08 |
| matts45acp | so your saying 5 is the only other option correct | 19:08 |
| WeThePeople | viju,, above | 19:08 |
| quimoniz | matts45acp, you might want to get the data backuped from /dev/sda5 before formatting it. | 19:08 |
| matts45acp | i care nothing about the data in sda 5 | 19:09 |
| quimoniz | matts45acp, incorrect, there are many options, but each of them includes, that you use some partition on the first harddrive (/dev/sda) | 19:09 |
| matts45acp | its just some downloads from windows | 19:09 |
| quimoniz | for the second /dev/sdb is too small | 19:09 |
| TheLordOfTime | anyone else having Firefox issue warnings about java plugin(s) not being safe/stable? | 19:09 |

| neta | hi, i have a problem connecting to protected networks. in my windows it connects fine, but not in my ubuntu (12.04). can u help? | 19:10 |
| quimoniz | matts45acp, you maz back it up easily I think, you may mount it with the command 'mount -t ntfs /dev/sda5 /mnt/' | 19:10 |
| viju | there is no such package WeThePeople ? | 19:10 |
| matts45acp | what i need to back it up for | 19:10 |
| WeThePeople | viju, what purge does is leave the newest version entact if that is what you want | 19:10 |
| quimoniz | matts45acp, no, you may as well use /dev/sda2 | 19:10 |
| viju | WeThePeople, I used autoremove chrome-browser | 19:11 |
| islandmonkey | neta: Do you mean one with wireless keys? | 19:11 |
| viju | now I am trying to use chrome and it says no such package | 19:11 |
| islandmonkey | ones* | 19:11 |
| quimoniz | matts45acp, dunno, just tellin you, if you would want to back it up, for if it is to be reformatted, the data will be lost. | 19:11 |
| WeThePeople | viju, did you want to remove the chromium browser | 19:11 |
| matts45acp | now your saying use sda2? | 19:11 |
| matts45acp | im confused | 19:12 |
| matts45acp | is it 2 or 5? | 19:12 |
| WeThePeople | viju, purge and autoremove do diff things | 19:12 |
| viju | WeThePeople, I don't know what it means , I just want chrome/chromium to work for me | 19:12 |
| neta | islandmonkey: when i need to enter a password. it asks it, then try to connect, and than ask again | 19:12 |
| quimoniz | matts45acp, no, I said, there are many choices, /dev/sda2 works, /dev/sda5 works, but you may as well just delete all partitions or just delete some of the partitions, to make space for new partitions | 19:12 |
| WeThePeople | viju, purge command deletes all old files, and autoremove deletes the whole program | 19:12 |
| viju | ok, now I 've removed the whole program , tell me how to install it afresh | 19:13 |
| WeThePeople | viju, what is the problem? | 19:13 |
| WeThePeople | viju, go to the software center to install the browser | 19:14 |
| Jarrydx26 | Viju, now you download from google chrome | 19:14 |
| matts45acp | ok heres what i wanna do, i partiontion awhile back and did a wubi install, then deleted all that and just back to windows, in windows my drive is c: and the one ubuntu was using is e: i want to install the thing to that e: | 19:14 |
| quimoniz | matts45acp, within the standard Ubuntu graphical installer you will be presented with the choices, you may choose to format /dev/sda2 or /dev/sda5, as you like, but you may as well wipe all the partitions (thereby losing all the data on all the partitions), and create a new partition order "partition table" | 19:14 |
| matts45acp | i just need to know what that is when i get ready to install | 19:14 |
| TheLordOfTime | matts45acp: did you delete windows? the "e" drive might not be an actual partition | 19:15 |
| Cong | I think you can erase the winRE parition too: sda1. | 19:15 |
| === Dan__ is now known as Guest3969 | ||
| WeThePeople | viju, did you get it installed ok? | 19:15 |
| matts45acp | jesus crist no i did not delete windows | 19:15 |
| quimoniz | matts45acp, for a test, do 'mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 /mnt/', then do 'ls /mnt/' | 19:16 |
| viju | I got chromium in software center | 19:16 |
| Cong | It's not windows, it's WinRE. | 19:16 |
| viju | no chrome | 19:16 |
| matts45acp | the e: is a working partion in windows at the moment i want to put the ubuntu on that | 19:16 |
| matts45acp | easy as that | 19:16 |
| quimoniz | matts45acp, it will tell you what folders are on /dev/sda2 | 19:16 |
| Jarrydx26 | matts45acp, just set choose a partition size you want , no need to delete windows | 19:16 |
| matts45acp | i wanna know what sda that is | 19:16 |
| viju | now its ok | 19:16 |
| TheLordOfTime | matts45acp: whatever partition that "e" is on will no longer work in windows | 19:16 |
| viju | it has atleast started | 19:16 |
| TheLordOfTime | matts45acp: windows likes fat32 and ntfs, ubuntu's root dir does not. | 19:16 |
| matts45acp | i dont want it to work in windows | 19:16 |
| TheLordOfTime | just making sure :p | 19:17 |
| matts45acp | i want the damn so called e | 19:17 |
| quimoniz | matts45acp, for a test, do 'mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 /mnt/', then do 'ls /mnt/' | 19:17 |

| Dazedy | uhg... trying to install ubuntu from a usb, but the thing freeze as soon as i click or type anything during the install, which makes it a bit difficult... Think it's a bad dl? | 19:17 |

| matts45acp | easy | 19:17 |
| Cong | Dazedy, try not to move the USB. | 19:17 |
| matts45acp | what sda is it thats what i need to know | 19:18 |
| Dazedy | i'm not touching the usb. it gets up to language selection, then i try to click or type and it hangs | 19:18 |
| ThinkT510 | matts45acp: compare the size | 19:18 |
| Dazedy | after a while i can move the mouse again, but can't interact with anything | 19:18 |
| Goldwing | Dazedy : is the USB stick inserted in a USB hub together with the keyboard by any chance? | 19:18 |
| daze | Dazedy: try disabling graphical install or sth. | 19:18 |
| quimoniz | matts45acp, we can't tell immediatly which /dev/sda2 or /dev/sda5 is the e: so please... mount one of them, then do a folder listing, so you know which folders are on that partition, so you know, which of the partitions it is | 19:18 |
| Guest3969 | Hey all! Quick question. I'm trying to install a Star TSP600 receipt printer. I've been following these instructions here: http://www.micahcarrick.com/star-tsp650-tsp651-printer-ubuntu-linux.html It gets down the make line absolutly fine, but it can't find the cups or something during the build. The comment below mentions that in Ubuntu 11.x and above, I need to use /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu for cups, but that's not there either. Is cups somewhere el | 19:18 |
| Goldwing | Dazedy : is the USB stick inserted in a USB hub together with the keyboard/mouse by any chance? | 19:18 |
| Jarrydx26 | Try reset as flash drive at boot select menu | 19:19 |
| Dazedy | no, it's in the front of my case, competely different set of usbs | 19:19 |
| Goldwing | ok | 19:19 |
| daze | try the back usb, then | 19:19 |
| daze | front usb's sometimes go through a hub | 19:19 |
| Dazedy | hm k | 19:20 |
| daze | (I had a printer that refused to work with front usbs once) | 19:20 |
| Dazedy | but the thing is, i can read and write to it perfectly fine | 19:20 |
| daze | how old is the pc? | 19:20 |
| Dazedy | about a year | 19:20 |
| Guest3969 | Or at least is there any way of finding out where "sudo apt-get install libcups2-dev libcupsimage2-dev" would install to? | 19:20 |
| Dazedy | 2500k , p8p67 mobo, 8 gig ram, gtx 580 etc | 19:20 |
| quimoniz | matts45acp, to get a folder listing of /dev/sda2, do 'mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 /mnt/', then do 'ls /mnt/' it will tell you probably that a 'Users' and a 'Windows' folder are on it, if it is, it is the C: partition | 19:20 |
| Dazedy | hm, does ubuntu screw up if hardware is overclocked at all? | 19:21 |
| daze | it shouldn't :] | 19:21 |
| manas_b | viju: stop ctcp'ing me | 19:21 |
| dmp450 | hey, i'm trying to mount a drive using sshfs, and I keep getting errors saying permission denied and I don't have write access to /media/drive | 19:21 |
| Dazedy | hmk | 19:21 |
| pranjal710 | This might be a very basic question, how do I create a virtual host with webroot in a NTFS partition? | 19:21 |
| bekks | Dazedy: as long as your hardware doesnt explode in a ball of fire, it shouldnt. | 19:22 |
| WeThePeople | manas_b, what is that? | 19:22 |
| manas_b | :< | 19:22 |
| Dazedy | that's what i figured. been running a 4.5 ghz overclock stable for the entire time I've had this computer | 19:22 |
| quimoniz | hehe | 19:22 |
| matts45acp | says documents and settings | 19:22 |
| quimoniz | hey all, do /CTCP manas_b TIME !!!! | 19:22 |
| deadmund | pranjal710: that is just a collection of buzzwords that make no sense | 19:22 |
| manas_b | :D | 19:22 |
| deadmund | pranjal710: webroot is anti-virus software. | 19:23 |
| quimoniz | matts45acp, allright, then it's a partition with a windows installation on it | 19:23 |
| Jarrydx26 | Dazedy, make sure your pc is fast enough for Compiz , or else its atomic bombs for you | 19:23 |
| Psi-Jack | Hmmm. I've been recently having problems with Google Chrome in Ubuntu 12.04 just each tab randomly crashing out of the blue. Now, I went into ~/.config and moved ~/.config/google-chrome to ~/.config/google-chrome.off to disable the old profile and make a new one, now the whole Chrome browser itself randomly crashes with segmentation faults. | 19:23 |
| Dazedy | my computer's speed isn't a problem. | 19:24 |
| matts45acp | ok then 5 is my choice then correct | 19:24 |
| quimoniz | matts45acp, I would think it's safe to assume, that the other big partition /dev/sda5 is your data partition, therefore, I would use /dev/sda5 as the partition to install to | 19:24 |
| dmp450 | can anyone help me with that??? | 19:24 |
| Mysterytrain | where do I go to change the bash prompt so that instead of user@host:~/blah/blah/blah with the entire path to the $PWD the prompt only shows the $PWD ? | 19:24 |

| WeThePeople | yeah just read up, idk about the sshfs, dont know why though | 19:26 |
| dmp450 | WeThePeople, i tried that and when I do ls -l on it it still says my user has permissions drwx------ | 19:26 |
| viju | WeThePeople, I think he is a troll | 19:26 |
| Jarrydx26 | Psi-jack, thats a common problem , I suggest firefox , personally chrome is too light for me | 19:27 |
| WeThePeople | dmp450, use gksudo nautilus so you have a gui to work with | 19:27 |
| matts45acp | ok its saying i have a mounted partiotion | 19:27 |
| Psi-Jack | Jarrydx26: Ever since I started using Chrome and started getting away from Firefox, I've been very much appreciating it, Especially for it's features like synchronizing bookmarks, extensions, etc accross multiple instances. | 19:27 |
| matts45acp | how do i unmount the partition | 19:28 |
| TheLordOfTime | matts45acp: sudo umount /path/to/partition | 19:28 |
| TheLordOfTime | i think | 19:28 |
| WeThePeople | dmp450, set the permission by right clicking the file | 19:28 |
| WeThePeople | viju, oh well | 19:28 |
| matts45acp | i dunno the path to it | 19:28 |
| mudan | is there a channel for ubuntu/linux tablet discussion? | 19:28 |
| quimoniz | matts45acp, do umount /dev/sda5 | 19:28 |
| matts45acp | i didnt mount 5 | 19:29 |
| quimoniz | err | 19:29 |
| quimoniz | matts45acp, do umount /dev/sda2 | 19:29 |
| Mysterytrain | check fstab | 19:29 |
| matts45acp | it was 2 yall said mount | 19:29 |
| Jarrydx26 | Good for you psi-jack , hope your problem gets solved | 19:29 |
| matts45acp | i did that and it did nothing and said nothing in terminal | 19:30 |
| quimoniz | huh | 19:30 |
| matts45acp | i type that and it just went down a line | 19:31 |
| quimoniz | tried 'sudo umount /dev/sda2' ? | 19:31 |
| matts45acp | said nothing | 19:31 |
| matts45acp | yes i did sudo | 19:31 |
| quimoniz | besides matts45acp you may just as well forcefully reboot by typing 'sudo shutdown -r now' | 19:31 |
| Psi-Jack | Jarrydx26: Well, so far, I've gone the route of completely purging the chrome package and reinstalling again. | 19:31 |
| dmp450 | WeThePeople, tried, still not working :/ | 19:31 |
| quimoniz | matts45acp, or you may do 'sudo telinit 6' | 19:31 |
| quimoniz | I think it worked.. | 19:31 |
| dthacker | trying to get SSLeay perl module installed. What is the open ssl package name that will give me openssl/ssl.h? | 19:31 |
| WeThePeople | dmp450, maybe i miss-understood what is it that you want to do | 19:31 |
| matts45acp | whats is telinit 6 | 19:32 |
| dmp450 | WeThePeople, i am trying to mount a drive | 19:32 |
| bekks | And oldschool command to change into runlevel 6, which is merely obsolete since Upstart. | 19:32 |
| bekks | matts45acp: ^^ | 19:32 |
| quimoniz | matts45acp, it tells the program 'init' to switch its internal status to 6, which means, that it shall reboot the computer as fast as possible | 19:32 |
| dmp450 | I am using sshfs -o allow_other root@server:/mnt/usr /media/mountpoint | 19:32 |
| matts45acp | will it unmount then | 19:33 |
| dmp450 | if I type sudo, it works fine. I shouldn't have to sudo to do this though | 19:33 |
| matts45acp | the drive | 19:33 |
| quimoniz | matts45acp, yes | 19:33 |
| WeThePeople | dmp450, idk much about the ssh stuff | 19:33 |
| Psi-Jack | dmp450: Actually, you do. | 19:33 |
| Psi-Jack | dmp450: Because you want allow_other, it has to have root privs to allow that. | 19:33 |
| TheLordOfTime | dmp450: you do, because you are technically "mounting" the sshfs at the other server :/ | 19:33 |
| TheLordOfTime | oh wait, nevermind | 19:33 |
| TheLordOfTime | didnt see allow_other | 19:33 |
| Psi-Jack | fuse us all userspace mounting tools. | 19:34 |
| dmp450 | Psi-Jack, I enabled it in my /etc/fuse.conf though | 19:34 |

| Psi-Jack | Yes I am. | 19:36 |
| dmp450 | am i able to use autofs to automount this? | 19:37 |
| WeThePeople | dmp450, if you dont want to sudo use 'sudo -i' for a root terminal | 19:37 |
| Psi-Jack | dmp450: Technically, you should be able to, yes. | 19:37 |
| dmp450 | or will that ask me for sudo everytime? | 19:37 |
| Psi-Jack | dmp450: autofs runs as root. | 19:37 |
| dmp450 | gotcha | 19:37 |
| Psi-Jack | So, it will obviously not ask for sudo. | 19:37 |
| quimoniz | have a productive time ubuntu-ing guys and gals | 19:37 |
| dmp450 | thanks :) | 19:37 |
| Psi-Jack | dmp450: I will also suggest this.. sshfs is not something you should rely on, at all. | 19:37 |

| === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st | ||

| maslo | hi guys I have a question regarding running processes I know I can get them with 'top' & 'ps ux' and I know I can kill them with their PID but is there any way to "view" a running process? like to transfer it to my session or something? I'm pretty new to ubuntu in general so yeah :X (it's a vps I'm sshing into) | 20:21 |
| DanS | Looking that up now. thanks! | 20:21 |
| ThinkT510 | maslo: what else do you mean by view? top will show you all the running processes | 20:22 |
| MoTec | maslo: do you use screen? | 20:22 |
| maslo | what I mean by view is to just see what's going on with the process as if I just executed it in my terminal and no motec I dunno what screen is I'm using KiTTY to ssh into my vps | 20:23 |
| DanS | Fantastic, that worked perfectly. thanks a lot you two! | 20:24 |
| MoTec | !screen | maslo | 20:24 |
| ubottu | maslo: screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. The 'byobu' package provides very useful additional utilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen | 20:24 |
| === m4v is now known as m4vlo | ||
| rAad | maslo: depending on what process you should be tail the logs | 20:24 |
| rAad | maslo: screen is a solid idea too | 20:24 |
| maslo | looking into it thanks | 20:25 |
| MoTec | maslo: screen is awesome.. I'm running this irssi session, among other things, heck everything my vps does is via screen. I can detach the session from one place and pick it up from another. | 20:25 |
| rAad | maslo: it's worth taking the few hours to get familiar with it (btw my nick rAad comes from screen) | 20:25 |
| MoTec | lol, ya rAad! I have that as an alias, that why i knew it was familiar, but couldn't place it. I have an alias, sr that does screen -rAad | 20:26 |

| jui-feng | hi all :) so I'd like to use chromium on ubuntu. chromium from the ubuntu repos is out of date (v18), and the chromium PPA has stopped updating 17 weeks ago. what is the recommended way to use chromium? I could probably install chromium v21 debs from debian wheezy (or even build that package on my system if there are problems with the deb file), but that seems a little complicated. There must be a better way? | 21:39 |
| KatsumeBlisk | jui-feng: Unless you really want Chromium, you could just install Chrome. | 21:39 |
| Areckx | KatsumeBlisk:: but that is too long, so I changed it to go=chromium-browser | 21:39 |
| KatsumeBlisk | Areckx: Whatever you were doing on the command line, you'd put in a file. | 21:39 |
| Areckx | KatsumeBlisk:: do I need any special characters or code? | 21:40 |
| KatsumeBlisk | Areckx: Then you run chmod +x foo.sh and move it to /usr/bin | 21:40 |
| Areckx | foo.sh?? | 21:40 |
| KatsumeBlisk | Areckx: Just put whatever you were making an alias for into a .sh file. | 21:40 |
| jui-feng | KatsumeBlisk, I want to avoid closed-source software where possible, so I'd really prefer to use chromium... so I guess there is no "sane" way to get it right now? | 21:40 |
| Areckx | I keep seeing foo pop up, what is foo? | 21:40 |

| jui-feng | KatsumeBlisk, alright. thanks :) Areckx yes, it works, but I don't feel comfortable with known security flaws in my browser | 21:41 |
| Areckx | KatsumeBlisk:: well that must mean it doesn't need any updates? | 21:41 |
| brontosaurusrex | Areckx, http://pastie.org/4588151 | 21:41 |
| guntbert | !here | semitones | 21:42 |
| ubottu | semitones: Please give at least an overview of your problem *here* (all in one line) - you will get a much greater audience. If you have to use more than 3 lines, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | 21:42 |
| semitones | Areckx: /foo/bar/ is an example file path. "Foo" usually stands in for any kind of variable or argument | 21:42 |
| KatsumeBlisk | Areckx: No. The only package updated besides for security updates in an Ubuntu release is Firefox. | 21:42 |
| semitones | thanks guntbert | 21:42 |
| semitones | hello! could there be any help with this error on boot: "MMIO address already in use"? I'd like to know what it means. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12196114#post12196114 | 21:42 |
| AndrewX192 | I'm having a problem with Unity and triple monitors - I can login to Gnome classic (2D), and it works fine, but in Unity (3D or 2D), and Gnome Classic (not-2D), I cannot click on anything. | 21:43 |
| Areckx | brontosaurusrex:: thanks, so I save that in /usr/bin? | 21:44 |
| brontosaurusrex | Areckx, sure | 21:44 |
| AndrewX192 | Graphics setup is a Radeon HD 7970M and Intel HD 4000, the monitors are all 1920x1080 (though one is the laptop screen itself) | 21:45 |
| Areckx | brontosaurusrex:: and I can just run it as go? | 21:45 |
| kaneda^ | hi all, has anyone here experienced the blank screen on install bug? when i try to boot from the live disk or install i get no graphics signal. i've tried all of the solutions involving nomodeset, noacip, and the boot options. the last thing i tried was selecting nomodset on the startup screen, then changing quiet and splash to nomodeset, then booting. for a second i see tty, then signal cuts out again | 21:45 |
| Areckx | if I save it as go.sh? | 21:45 |
| brontosaurusrex | probably you have to +x it first | 21:45 |
| KatsumeBlisk | Areckx: You call the file whatever you want to say to call it. | 21:45 |
| brontosaurusrex | Areckx, dont use .sh | 21:45 |
| Areckx | KatsumeBlisk:: so I can save it as go without a sh | 21:45 |
| brontosaurusrex | zes | 21:45 |
| kaneda^ | depending on what options i've chosen sometimes the machine actually shuts off, other times the video is cut | 21:45 |
| brontosaurusrex | yes | 21:45 |
| KatsumeBlisk | Areckx: Save it as go, then run "chmod +x go", then move it to /usr/bin | 21:45 |
| brontosaurusrex | as KatsumeBlisk said | 21:46 |
| KatsumeBlisk | Areckx: You'll need to use sudo or be root to move it there. | 21:46 |
| Areckx | brontosaurusrex:: all right, thanks, it works! | 21:47 |
| brontosaurusrex | Areckx, cool and np | 21:47 |
| KatsumeBlisk | Areckx: Glad you got it to work. :) | 21:47 |
| Areckx | brontosaurusrex:: now I just would like to figure out how to make it work JUST like the address bar in chrome, so it would google search if there is no .com | 21:47 |
| Areckx | that sounds really complex | 21:48 |
| kaneda^ | e.g., if i do vga=ask and i attempt to do mode 317 for instance (1024x768x16 VESA) the machine physically shuts off | 21:48 |
| kaneda^ | what can i do? | 21:48 |
| Areckx | KatsumeBlisk:: yay | 21:48 |
| Adie | can I make my drive audomaticly moust on startup, and can I hide them from the unity launcher? | 21:48 |
| Areckx | I think I'm going to have a lot of fun with bash scripts in the future | 21:48 |
| Adie | *mount :| | 21:48 |
| Areckx | the true beauty of linux ^_^ | 21:49 |
| KatsumeBlisk | Areckx: They are fun. You might be able to use variables and whatever URL that Google uses to search. | 21:49 |
| Areckx | I could just make a seperate script for that | 21:49 |
| KatsumeBlisk | Areckx: True. | 21:50 |
| Areckx | so go for urls, and s for search | 21:50 |
| kaneda^ | if i go to the CLI and i do a live-install vga=ask then it does NOT shut off but the video cuts out | 21:50 |
| brontosaurusrex | Areckx, you would need to check if dot is in parameter and then use proper action, like https://www.google.si/#q=mysearchstring | 21:50 |
| kaneda^ | the monitor says "no signal" | 21:50 |
| brontosaurusrex | or make separate script zes | 21:50 |
| brontosaurusrex | yes* | 21:50 |
| semitones_tea | test | 21:51 |
| Areckx | brontosaurusrex:: singapore? (offtopic) anyway #q=mysearchstring will allow me to enter the search string right after the command (s) ? | 21:51 |
| oskar- | kaneda^: if you want to do a installation, maybe you can try the alternate installer cd? | 21:51 |
| oskar- | kaneda^: that is with text installer, iirc | 21:51 |
| guntbert | semitones_tea: we hear you - please use #test in the future :) | 21:51 |
| kaneda^ | oskar-, ok, i'll try that, ty | 21:52 |
| semitones | ty | 21:52 |
| Areckx | brontosaurusrex:: for example if I typed [[[ s ubuntu bash scripts ]]] it would open up a google search? | 21:52 |
| semitones | any luck on how to fix the MMIO problem btw? | 21:52 |
| _Trullo | when is 12.04.1 gonna be released? I wanna upgrade from 10.04 | 21:52 |
| semitones | if no one knows now, i'll go back to researching myself | 21:52 |
| brontosaurusrex | Areckx, how about try and find out? | 21:52 |
| brontosaurusrex | Areckx, should be easy | 21:53 |
| guntbert | semitones: not too many people here are experienced with wubi | 21:53 |
| semitones | guntbert: i'm not using wubi... | 21:53 |
| semitones | never have | 21:53 |
| oskar- | _Trullo: it has already been released | 21:54 |
| semitones | i just get that message on the screen: "MMIO address xyxoxoxox already in use" | 21:54 |
| kaneda^ | oskar-, i was able to solve it by selecting "e" as the video mode instead of 371 | 21:54 |
| kaneda^ | i dont knwo why this solved it | 21:54 |
| guntbert | semitones: sorry then, I thought the forums thread was about a wubi problem | 21:54 |
| eastabrooka | Hello All, May i ask a question ? | 21:55 |
| semitones | guntbert: take a look at this: it looks like the problem was already fixed, but the fix doesn't work. http://askubuntu.com/questions/38920/boot-splash-broken-by-sp5100-tco-timer-mmio-address-0xyyyyyyy-already-in-use | 21:55 |

| semitones | http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/7269/tcotimer.jpg this is the exact thing that happens to me (except probably a different number) | 21:56 |

| eastabrooka | Right :P - I have a machine that i am now running ubuntu server on 12.04 LTS. I have 3 ethernet adapters in the computer, and basically, i want to take a network in from my router, and output that to another ethernet adaptor. - With the remaining adaptor only addressable from the server ( crossover connection to a NAS for backup ) Any ideas :P ? | 21:58 |
| ask471 | list | 21:59 |
| ask471 | sorry lol | 21:59 |
| oskar- | eastabrooka: what exactly do you mean by "take a network in" and "output that to another ethernet adaptor"? Do you want to route or bridge the traffic (with or without filtering)? | 22:03 |
| Areckx | brontosaurusrex:: ahh looks l;ike https://www.google.com/search?q=${QUERY}" might work. | 22:03 |
| brontosaurusrex | Areckx, chromium-browser https://www.google.com/#q="$1" (but this wont work properly, since shell is delimited by space, so dunno right now on how to approach ...) | 22:04 |
| eastabrooka | I would ideally like it to be a route instead of a bridge. Partly due to wanting to eventually get around to inspecting traffic going through the server onto the internet - as well as firewalling off the inner lan from the modem side | 22:04 |
| brontosaurusrex | yes, but what if your search is "download ubuntu" | 22:04 |
| Areckx | bront no it just opens up the google search homepage | 22:04 |
| Areckx | brontosaurusrex:: hmmmm this is tough | 22:05 |
| bekks | Areckx: chromium-browser https://www.google.com/#q="$@" | 22:06 |
| Areckx | brontosaurusrex:: this might work http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1283277 | 22:06 |
| bekks | That will use all arguments passed to "go" as parameters for your search term. | 22:06 |
| Areckx | bekks:: ahh that looks the same | 22:06 |
| eastabrooka | Hmm, give me some time, i am going to do some more reading, i think some standard internet / connection sharing tutorials may do me some benifit, its just when i get around to trying to add in the isolated NAS box that i think i will encounter problems with the IPTables bit. - Wish me luck :) | 22:07 |
| Areckx | bekks:: thank you | 22:07 |
| brontosaurusrex | bekks, yes thats the way to do it | 22:07 |
| bekks | brontosaurusrex: I know ;) | 22:07 |
| brontosaurusrex | i forgot about existance of "$@" completely :P | 22:08 |
| Areckx | brontosaurusrex:: bekks ok that works but it also opens up a second page expecting a .com,. how do I fix this? | 22:08 |
| bekks | Areckx: I'm not using chrom[e|ium] at all, I dont know, sorry. :) | 22:08 |
| subcool | i just tried to install a i386 vmware player, and it errored with that i dont have a 64bit processor.. wtf? | 22:09 |
| Areckx | bekks is it because I'm using the same base script as my "go" script? | 22:09 |
| bekks | Areckx: It is because you tell chromium that you want a new window or something. | 22:10 |
| _Trullo | oskar, how come my update doesn't show it's available? | 22:10 |
| Areckx | bekks:: well it opens up the search page, which is success, but it opens a second window as iff I typed it as a url | 22:10 |
| guntbert | subcool: no (even abbreviated) swearing here please - and we don't offer support for vmware | 22:10 |
| guntbert | !vmware | subcool | 22:10 |
| oskar- | eastabrooka: then make sure you have your different ip networks configured on each interface, your routes on the router, on each client machine. then enable forwarding and maybe create a MASQUERADE or SNAT rule in the POSTROUTING chain of the nat table of your iptables | 22:10 |
| ubottu | subcool: VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware | 22:10 |
| brontosaurusrex | Areckx, post a full script > pastie.org | 22:10 |
| bekks | Areckx: Thats a chromium issue then, not a script issue. | 22:10 |
| Areckx | brontosaurusrex:: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1167108/ | 22:11 |
| brontosaurusrex | Areckx, delete the %1 | 22:11 |
| oskar- | _Trullo: with upgrading you already have it, afaik | 22:11 |
| bekks | Areckx: I dont get the purpose of that "$1" in your script. | 22:12 |
| brontosaurusrex | i mean $1 | 22:12 |
| eastabrooka | <eastabrooka->oskar> That does follow with the guides that i am looking at! Time for the trial and error stage :) | 22:13 |
| Areckx | brontosaurusrex:: ok so now it works but only on single words, if I do s download ubuntu it will open up two separate pages | 22:13 |
| _Trullo | Description: Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS | 22:13 |
| Areckx | brontosaurusrex:: as well as a third with the error page | 22:14 |
| Mikness | Hello, Having problems with SSD w/12.04 and Windows 7. It'll run for about 45 minutes, then programs won't run. Any thoughts? | 22:14 |
| brontosaurusrex | Areckx, try s download+ubuntu | 22:14 |
| Mikness | [3991:3991:71541087439:ERROR:process_singleton_linux.cc(248)] Failed to unlink /home/mik/.config/google-chrome/SingletonLock: Read-only file system | 22:15 |
| Areckx | brontosaurusrex:: ok that works, but could I make that work in bash script so I can automatically do that??? or is that impossible? | 22:15 |
| bekks | Areckx: Or try this instead of $@, including the ``: `echo ${@}|sed s/\ /\%20/g` | 22:15 |
| Mikness | that's when running google-chrome in terminal. Here's when I run libreoffice: /usr/bin/libreoffice:180:exec: /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/oosplash: Input/output error | 22:16 |
| opieng | hi all, anyone here have a Windows 7 and Ubuntu dual boot set up successfully done? | 22:17 |
| bekks | Mikness: Readonly file system. Thats the cause. | 22:17 |
| Areckx | bekks:: okay, so "s download ubuntu" with that in the script instead of $@ opens a search page of 'download' 'ubuntu' and 'download ubuntu XD | 22:17 |
| opieng | I have windows 7 installed on my SSD and want to install Ubuntu on my HDD, is there any issues with this? | 22:17 |
| oskar- | Mikness: sounds like defective hardware... | 22:17 |
| bekks | Areckx: pastebin the current script again. | 22:17 |
| Mikness | bekks, that's what I thought. It works fine when I reboot, though | 22:17 |
| bekks | Mikness: Because after reboot, it isnt readonly anymore. | 22:18 |
| Areckx | bekks:: http://pastie.org/4588306 | 22:18 |
| Mikness | oskar-, I checked memory, used a different SATA port, changed data cables, and tested the drive. All turned out fine | 22:18 |
| Mikness | bekks, I don't understand. | 22:18 |
| oskar- | Mikness: have you checked the filesystem? | 22:18 |
| bekks | Areckx: hold on, I'll write you another script. | 22:19 |
| oskar- | if this also happens on windows, it will most likely be hardware-related | 22:19 |
| Mikness | oskar-, how do I do that? | 22:19 |
| en1gma | i was getting ready to install ubuntu 12.04 amd 64 desktop but i heard the gpsd is a newer version and gpsdrive dont work anymore. does anyone know a fix or if that is true | 22:19 |
| oskar- | !fsck | Mikness | 22:19 |
| ubottu | Mikness: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 22:19 |
| bekks | Areckx: http://pastie.org/4588314 there you go. | 22:20 |
| Mikness | oskar-, yes, something similar also happens on windows. That's why I thought hardware. | 22:20 |
| brontosaurusrex | bekks, also the loop is not needed i guess? | 22:20 |
| Areckx | bekks:: thanks!!! | 22:21 |
| bekks | brontosaurusrex: I have no loop in that script :) | 22:21 |
| Areckx | brontosaurusrex:: also thanks | 22:21 |
| bekks | Areckx: you're welcome :) | 22:21 |
| Spyro107 | Is there anyone who has the freetime to help me with a wireless adapter problem? | 22:21 |
| brontosaurusrex | bekks, oh | 22:21 |
| Areckx | Thanks to both of you I am now more familiar with how scripts work, and also have more function to my browser! | 22:21 |
| Areckx | bekks:: what is the loop? | 22:22 |
| Areckx | brontosaurusrex:: which was the loop you had? | 22:22 |
| bekks | Areckx: The loop was that while... stuff, which wasnt needed. | 22:22 |
| en1gma | gpsdrive? | 22:22 |
| bekks | Areckx: YOU had that loop ;) | 22:22 |
| base3_ | when i press alt meaning to start an emacs sequence or something and then change my mind and release it without pressing anything else a search box appears at the top of the screen. it seems like the sort of pederasty a mac user might enjoy. how do i stop it? | 22:22 |
| Areckx | bekks:: well I got it from bronto | 22:22 |
| Mikness | ubottu, mik@ubuntu:~$ man fsck man: can't resolve /usr/share/man/man8/fsck.8.gz: No such file or directory | 22:23 |
| Mikness | No manual entry for fsck See 'man 7 undocumented' for help when manual pages are not available. | 22:23 |
| ubottu | Mikness: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 22:23 |
| bekks | Areckx: I know :) | 22:23 |
| Areckx | brontosaurusrex:: so what was the purpose of the while in the original script for url open?> | 22:23 |
| brontosaurusrex | Areckx, none, that loop is for the urls only | 22:23 |
| en1gma | is gpsdrive broken? | 22:23 |
| bekks | Areckx: The purpose was to open a new tab for every keyword you passed as argument. | 22:23 |
| bekks | brontosaurusrex: Even for URLs it isnt needed. | 22:24 |
| brontosaurusrex | yes, but thats unwanted behaviour :) | 22:24 |
| Mikness | !fsck | Mikness | 22:24 |
| ubottu | Mikness, please see my private message | 22:24 |
| brontosaurusrex | bekks, how so? | 22:24 |
| Areckx | OH ok sdo it wouldn't open a new browser or replace the current tab? | 22:24 |
| Areckx | while [ $# -gt 0 ]; do | 22:24 |
| bekks | brontosaurusrex: Just try my script :) | 22:24 |
| brontosaurusrex | ok | 22:24 |
| Areckx | bekks:: so I just remove that entire while line? | 22:24 |
| Mikness | oskar-, mik@ubuntu:~$ man fsck man: can't resolve /usr/share/man/man8/fsck.8.gz: No such file or directory | 22:25 |
| bekks | Areckx: Just use my entire script. | 22:25 |
| Areckx | bekks:: oh that is what the $1 refers to | 22:25 |
| Areckx | bekks:: what are while strings useful for? | 22:26 |
| Areckx | bekks:: well I need one for if I want to open a url, your is for a google query, do I just use chromium-browser ??? | 22:26 |
| oskar- | Mikness: do you have package "util-linux" installed? | 22:27 |
| Mikness | oskar-, how can I find out? | 22:27 |
| brontosaurusrex | bekks, sure, becouse chromium can take multiple parameters | 22:27 |
| Areckx | bekks:: either way it works, is there any reason to use a different script? like, for memory etc? | 22:27 |
| brontosaurusrex | Areckx, better one is without a loop | 22:28 |
| Mikness | oskar-, software center won't work, and I'm not sure of the command | 22:28 |
| guntbert | !hud | base3_ | 22:28 |
| ubottu | base3_: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS includes the first step in a major new approach to application interfaces, the Head-Up Display, or HUD, which will ultimately replace menus in Unity applications. See http://ubottu.com/y/hud for the background on this and discuss it in #ubuntu-offtopic | 22:28 |
| Areckx | brontosaurusrex:: ok so I remove the while [ $# -gt 0 ]; do line and remove the $1 and it will still work the same way? | 22:28 |
| brontosaurusrex | http://pastie.org/4588352 < Areckx , bekks ? | 22:29 |
| base3_ | out of interest why is it off-topic? | 22:29 |
| oskar- | Mikness: dpkg --list util-linux | 22:29 |
| bekks | brontosaurusrex: No. | 22:29 |
| bekks | brontosaurusrex: http://pastie.org/4588314 | 22:29 |
| Mikness | oskar-, yep, haveit | 22:29 |
| Areckx | bekks:: no that one does a search querie | 22:30 |
| Areckx | bekks:: I need one that just opens up a .com | 22:30 |
| soman | What a gnu/stubs.h file? I can't compile with ubuntu 12.04 32bit because I haven't got gnu/stubs-32.h but I have gnu/stubs-64.h (why?) | 22:30 |
| guntbert | base3_: getting help with it is not, but discussing the usefulness is | 22:30 |
| Areckx | bekks:: and the one bronto sent me works, but you said it doesn't need the while strings? | 22:30 |
| bekks | Areckx: What do you mean by "opens up a .com"? | 22:30 |
| Mikness | oskar-, do I run fsck off the broken system, or should I run it from a USB install? | 22:31 |
| Areckx | bekks:: as in, I type in wikipedia.com and it opens up the page | 22:31 |
| brontosaurusrex | bekks, why? urls cant have spaces | 22:31 |
| base3_ | alright no worries guntbert | 22:31 |
| whoevor | hi all, using gscan2pdf, is there a setting that i am missing to ocr columns of text, now when I ocr it looks like a book not a magazine article . can some one assist | 22:31 |
| bekks | brontosaurusrex: the sed expression will not modify any URL. | 22:31 |
| guntbert | Areckx: lengthy bash scripting sessions are not *exactly* on topic in this channel :) | 22:31 |
| Areckx | bekks:: with the 's' script you made, it is perfect for google searches, but if I do 's wikipedia.com' it will do a search for wikipedia.com,. wheras with bronto's script, it does exactly what I need it to do | 22:32 |
| === maximilian is now known as Guest89389 | ||
| whoevor | Areckx, try #bash | 22:32 |
| oskar- | Mikness: hm, better run it from another medium... then it is unused and can be repaired more easily | 22:32 |
| Areckx | brontosaurusrex:: bekks I am in #bash, do you want to continue there? | 22:32 |
| Mikness | oskar-, how can I direct fsck to the correct drive? | 22:33 |
| Guest89389 | hey, how do i tell whether my wired network is dhcp, static or PPPoE? | 22:33 |
| oskar- | Mikness: what do you mean? you should find out the device name and give it as a parameter to "fsck" | 22:34 |
| Guest89389 | i'm connected to the router by my wireless network as well if that can be useful | 22:34 |
| Areckx | whoevor:: guntbert thanks, I forgot I was in that channel ,next time I have a bash query I will remember to ask there, it is worth noting that certain people may be in #ubuntu but not in #bash and may have very helpful replies, not saying that others wouldn't be able to help, but worth noting that different channels = different people | 22:34 |
| bekks | Areckx: Actually, no. :) you'd just have to decide wether you have a parameter with a ".com" or something and use a different script behaviour. | 22:34 |
| Mikness | oskar-, k, I'll look up the man page for it. Will it make any difference if I installed Windows first, then used Wubi to install ubuntu? | 22:35 |
| Areckx | bekks:: well this is the one brontosaurusrex sent me for the .com one and it works beautifully http://pastie.org/4588380 | 22:35 |

| oskar- | Mikness: cat /proc/partitions, fdisk -l /dev/sdX, blkid, these will give you information about the present partitions. with that you should be able to find out, which is linux partitions are, and then check their filesystems | 22:39 |

| biohazrd | in aptitude what do i hit to install the recommended packages that come with an upate of other packages? | 22:42 |
| jrib | en1gma: .1 means it includes later updates so everyone doesn't have to spend time downloading them again after an install | 22:42 |
| Guest89389 | guys, i have an ethernet cable that i need to customize the interface for, and i'm connected wirelessly to the same router, how do i check whether i'm dhcp or static ip? | 22:43 |

| TrixiePup | I need to add the server beyondirc.net to xchat. Can anyone help me with that? | 22:45 |
| biohazrd | Guest89389, your router will tell you that | 22:45 |
| biohazrd | just log in and look at the dchp pool it has going | 22:45 |

| opieng | Anyone here have a Windows 7 and Ubuntu dual boot set up successfully done? | 22:47 |
| opieng | I have windows 7 installed on my SSD and want to install Ubuntu on my HDD, is there any issues with this? | 22:47 |
| biohazrd | opieng, no | 22:48 |
| TrixiePup | all that happens when I try to add a server is it gives it the name Newserver. Even if I change it, it changes back | 22:48 |
| biohazrd | infact i recall there is a windows installer for unbuntu | 22:48 |
| opieng | biohazrd, how do I avoid these issues with the grub or bootloader? | 22:48 |
| biohazrd | opieng, it will install the boot loader for sure, but it will also put in a line to boot windows | 22:48 |

| biohazrd | you will have to let grub control your boot | 22:49 |
| opieng | biohazrd, i have windows 7 already installed is this a problem? | 22:49 |
| biohazrd | no... i told you there is a windows based installer.. you run it in windows to install unbuntu | 22:50 |
| biohazrd | chainloader +1 in menu.lst is what will load windows | 22:50 |

| Guddu_ | And considering that this is supposed to be a Production PC, i don't want to take risks. I hope for something more stable. | 22:56 |
| === Guddu_ is now known as Guddu | ||
| MonkeyDust | Guddu more stable than what? | 22:57 |
| Guddu | When i open a Menu, the first item gets selected by default as soon as i move mouse over the menu. | 22:57 |
| Guest34090 | ls -l gives me drwx------ but when i try to copy files to it, it says "permission denied" | 22:57 |

| Guest34090 | jrdnn, ntfs | 22:58 |

| Guest34090 | jrdnn, i was copying to it just fine 4 hours ago, though, so i know it works | 22:58 |
| jrib | Guest34090: you should set the proper permissions/ownership at mount time; you cannot use chmod/chown on it after mounting | 22:58 |
| Guddu | That's why that menu's behavior.... | 22:58 |
| Guest34090 | jrib, it was working fine a while ago but hasn't been dismounted since then | 22:58 |
| Guddu | I navigate a few windows and i always see a crash SEGSEV something in some module. | 22:59 |

The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 23:06 |

| Guddu_ | Mikness, File will be in the same directory where you are....unless u specifed a path in touch commmand | 23:17 |
| jrib | Mikness: For example suppose /dev/sda1 is mounted as /. You would do: sudo touch /forcefsck. Suppose /dev/sda2 is mounted as /media/movies. You would do: sudo touch /media/movies/forcefsck. See ubottu | 23:17 |
| Guddu_ | Is there a place where I can installl the old version of Ubuntu from? The one before 12.04? | 23:17 |

| meganerd | Guddu_: why 11.10? It is nearly out of support | 23:21 |
| Random_Fool | hey all, hopefully this is the right place to ask the question, I have a laptop that was booting ubuntu, win7 and win8 developers that has died, hard drive is still good tho, beyond mounting the hard drive in my tower and booting off of it, is there any way to access the virtual linux partition on the hd from win7? (even through a live cd?) | 23:21 |
| Guddu_ | jrib, I have seen three weird behaviors till now. 1. I open a menu and move around the mouse and the first items gets selected on its own. I opened the terminal and the terminal was receiving a Enter Key costantly...... 2. Settings Manager crashes every now and then. 3. I hide the autolauncher but it does not reveal itself when i move the mouse on lelft | 23:21 |
| Guddu_ | jrib, These are just the issues i saw upon first booot....not sure what else will follow...and this is supposed to be a production machine. | 23:22 |
| Guddu_ | jrib, Shalll i try 64 Bit Server version install instead of Desktop ? | 23:22 |
| Mikness | jrib, I don't know what you mean, but this is what I got when running 'sudo fsck /dev/sdb' http://paste.ubuntu.com/1167182/ | 23:23 |
| jrib | Guddu_: pretty strange. Server is the same as desktop except different packages are installed by default (namely you won't have X by default on the server) | 23:23 |
| MACscr | if i want my ubuntu home server to still boot even if it has an issue with its secondary storage array, how should i do that? Right now it stops during boot and i have to go to console and press S to skip it. Id rather it boot, notify me of the issue, then allow me to troubleshoot it from there | 23:23 |
| jrib | Mikness: I didn't tell you to run that :/ | 23:23 |
| Guddu_ | jrib, So server is to work on command prompt always? | 23:23 |
| jrib | Guddu_: well unless you install X and some sort of graphical environment on it | 23:23 |
| MACscr | the other issue im seeing is that its calling the array md127 when it should be md0. Did i miss something? | 23:24 |
| Guddu_ | jrib, I just want a stable machine. I don't care much about suppport. What do u think of 11 version? | 23:24 |
| MonkeyDust | MACscr disable the blocking device in fstab | 23:24 |
| MonkeyDust | MACscr so it's raid? | 23:25 |
| Mikness | jrib, no, but I'm confused with what you're trying to tell me to do. I stepped back to what I know. Also, here's what I get for sudo fsck/dev/sdb2. fsck from util-linux 2.20.1 | 23:25 |
| Mikness | fsck: fsck.ntfs: not found; fsck: error 2 while executing fsck.ntfs for /dev/sdb2 | 23:25 |
| MACscr | MonkeyDust: yes, mdadm. 4 drives. The OS is on its on disk | 23:25 |
| jrib | Guddu_: 11.10 will still be supported until 13.04 (april 2013). I suppose it's worth a try even if it's just to see if the problem persists | 23:25 |
| jrib | Mikness: did you read the message ubottu sent you? | 23:25 |

| MACscr | MonkeyDust: i still want it mounted at boot, i just dont want it to stop the server from booting if it cant. It should just fail and skip | 23:28 |
| MonkeyDust | MACscr troubleshooting raid is beyond me, i only know the basics | 23:28 |
| MonkeyDust | MACscr i'm sure someone else can helpt | 23:29 |

| Mikness | jrib, first, I don't have a Linux partition. I set up Windows 7, then used Wubi to install Ubuntu. Can fsck still check the filesystem that way? the 64GB SSD with the OSs is on sdb. sdb1 partition is 1GB, sdb2 is 62GB. Second, I'm not sure why I need to restart if I'm using a USB drive with an install to check a different filesystem. | 23:30 |
| thufir_ | jrib: right, yes, but I'm not trying to set up postfix. how do I install it? the install fails. | 23:31 |
| jrib | Mikness: no, I don't think fsck can help you then | 23:31 |
| meganerd | drag0nius: lsof -i will tell you if you have a listening service on a given port(s), tcpdump will print out the traffic that is received. | 23:31 |

| foobArrr | I'm using a USB KVM switch, one of the connected PCs runs Ubuntu. Sometimes when I switch to the Ubuntu PC, keyboard and mouse don't respond and dmesg is flooded with this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1167055/ any ideas? | 23:44 |
| jrib | Mikness: my guess would be a failing drive. Make sure you have backups. Maybe check SMART for warnings/errors (I don't know exactly how) | 23:45 |
| Mikness | jrib, thanks. What's SMART? | 23:45 |
| jrib | thufir_: it's not an actual bug | 23:45 |
| Mikness | jrib, and how can I determine if it is a failing drive for sure? | 23:45 |
| jrib | Mikness: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools | 23:45 |
| dynesh | Jak_Atackka : i have been using both wired and wireless earlier.. i did not change any network settings for this connection...then a night ago, i asked for some help from the same chat and a couple of people tried to solve the issue and the condition is that, now im unable to connect and wifi shoes nothing, its unavle to detect any network | 23:46 |
| Yiq | what does -p mean when doing mkdir? | 23:46 |
| jrib | Yiq: create parents if necessary; see « man mkdir » | 23:46 |
| systemovich | You can check what it means by typing mkdir --help at the command line. | 23:46 |
| Jak_Atackka | dynesh: Hm... did you make any changes to the router? | 23:47 |
| IlikeMoose | Mikness: have you run disk utility from the dash? there's some stuff in there about checking your drives integrity e.g. bad sectors etc... | 23:47 |
| Mikness | IlikeMoose, I thought I had. Let me run it again | 23:48 |
| c_smith | was #ubuntu+1 the place to discuss development releases? | 23:48 |
| dynesh | Jak_Atackka : no, i did not...is there anything in the router settings, that i have to look out? | 23:48 |
| IlikeMoose | Mikness: click on SMART Data (view SMART data and run self tests) | 23:49 |
| Jak_Atackka | dynesh: Not sure. Do you have any other devices in your home that can connect to the wifi? | 23:49 |
| jrib | thufir_: you understand what to do? | 23:49 |
| dynesh | yes, i have...my mobile can connect, its working, but my lappy is not connecting! | 23:50 |
| Yiq | so where does this end up: sudo mkdir -p /data/db ? | 23:50 |
| thufir_ | jrib: kinda. I remember now installing actually the mysql version, so I think that's the problem. rather then directly edit that config file right now I'm trying to uninstall/reinstall or clobber the install. | 23:50 |
| silverarrow | hi, is anyone using midori? | 23:50 |
| jrib | thufir_: ok | 23:51 |
| thufir_ | jrib: thanks :) | 23:51 |
| jrib | silverarrow: just assume yes and ask the channel your next question | 23:51 |
| Mikness | IlikeMoose, Thanks. All the assessments have a green light and say "good" but I clicked on "Run Self-test" anyway. | 23:51 |
| dynesh | Jak_Atackka : yes, i have...my mobile can connect, its working, but my lappy is not connecting! | 23:51 |
| SolarisBoy | scriptassist top | 23:51 |
| jrib | Yiq: you ensure that a directory called "db" in the directory /data exists | 23:51 |
| pooltable | help with yahoo get smaller on news page help? on all three browers | 23:52 |
| silverarrow | how do I get Gnash to stay as default player in Midori? | 23:52 |
| IlikeMoose | Mikness: SMART status says "disk is healthy" ? | 23:52 |
| SolarisBoy | sorry =) | 23:52 |
| Mikness | IlikeMoose, Yeah, how long does it take to run? | 23:52 |
| Jak_Atackka | dynesh: Okay, that definitely points to the problem being on the laptop and not with the router | 23:52 |
| silverarrow | I need a non-mozilla browser for Gnash | 23:52 |
| Mikness | IlikeMoose, I chose "Short (usually less than 10 min) after hitting "Run Self-test" but nothing seems to be happening | 23:53 |
| IlikeMoose | Mikness: depends on your drive, shouldn't take too long. | 23:53 |
| Mikness | IlikeMoose, How do I know when it's done? | 23:53 |
| dynesh | Jak_Atackka: is there anyway i can reset ubuntu to factory settings? | 23:54 |
| Yiq | jrib: but it seems to be installed in some dir thats available for all users? | 23:54 |
| IlikeMoose | Mikness: see where it says self-tests: at the upper right corner? that's the progress bar | 23:55 |
| silverarrow | no idea about midori and gnash player? | 23:55 |
| silverarrow | I can`t use hmtl5 | 23:55 |
| jrib | Yiq: I don't know what you mean by "it seems to be installed"; all you showed was the creation of a directory | 23:55 |
| Mikness | IlikeMoose, No progress bar. | 23:55 |
| Mikness | IlikeMoose, under "Updated:" it says 38 minutes ago. I'm assuming it's been done recently enough, then? | 23:57 |
| lwizardl | hello | 23:57 |
| lwizardl | i am trying to get a wintv-hvr-1600 to work under 11 | 23:57 |
| lwizardl | .04 and not having luck | 23:57 |
| silverarrow | anyone on powerpc? | 23:58 |
| IlikeMoose | Mikness: i just ran mine and it finished already, post a screenshot of the utility window. i don't know if it automatically checks the disk surface for errors however. | 23:58 |
| Jak_Atackka | dynesh: I'm sure you can, but I'm afraid I don't know how. | 23:58 |
| thufir_ | jrib: lol, it's my fault, I forgot about: https://gist.github.com/3472492 I edited that file for some reason I now forget. | 23:58 |
| dynesh | Jak_Atackka: is there any other way out? | 23:59 |
| Mikness | when running sudo smartctl -i /dev/sdb2 "Short INQUIRY response, skip product id; A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more '-T permissive' options." | 23:59 |
| kantlivelong | anyone else here have stability issues w/ 12.04? apps like to crash alot | 23:59 |
