| LiquidNil | Hello, I want to watch blu ray disk on ubuntu, VLC does not play it and yes I have the restricted extras and a blu ray drive???????? | 00:00 |
| hylian | WeThePeople: have a good rest! | 00:00 |
| WeThePeople | thx | 00:00 |
| v0lksman | so fancontrol is removed but how do I restore the default fan behavior? | 00:00 |
| LiquidNil | !help | 00:00 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 00:00 |
| LiquidNil | Hello, I want to watch blu ray disk on ubuntu, VLC does not play it and yes I have the restricted extras and a blu ray drive???????? | 00:00 |
| v0lksman | my fans are running full speed right now...hahaha | 00:00 |
| LiquidNil | v0lksman: please take that to ot | 00:00 |
| v0lksman | LiquidNil: ? how is that not an ubuntu support question? | 00:01 |
| KM0201 | i don't think you can play bluray natively in linux yet (i could be wrong) | 00:01 |
| hylian | v0lksman: well your pc is nice and cool. I will do some research quick and see if i can dig anything up... | 00:01 |
| LiquidNil | KM0201: so Blu ray can not be played on Ubuntu? | 00:01 |
| v0lksman | hylian: thanks! digging too! | 00:01 |
| KM0201 | LiquidNil: thats not what i said, i said i don't think it can be done natively(the way you're wanting to do it).. | 00:02 |
| Meris | LiquidNil, it can be played, just takes a little work | 00:02 |
| KM0201 | google seems to confirm this. | 00:02 |
| Zeptis | Liquidnil, lmgtfy: http://apcmag.com/how-to-play-blu-ray-in-linux.htm | 00:02 |
| LiquidNil | Meris: what do i do exactly? | 00:02 |
| LiquidNil | ok | 00:02 |
| NicoBressler | Is it viable to program in Python in Ubuntu? | 00:02 |
| Zeptis | NicoBressler, yep. | 00:02 |
| Dr_Willis | NicoBressler: python is used for a lot of things in Ubuntu | 00:02 |
| NicoBressler | I would love to start learning Python | 00:03 |
| Dr_Willis | more viable in Linux, then in windows i would imagine.. ;) | 00:03 |
| NicoBressler | I knew someone who was coding a phone system in Python | 00:03 |
| Meris | LiquidNil, try this link: http://apcmag.com/how-to-play-blu-ray-in-linux.htm | 00:03 |

| Vyla2 | i think my system is not using the iGPU integrated of my i5-2500K... how do i check that? | 00:04 |
| Meris | Zeptis, what's wrong? | 00:04 |
| hylian | v0lksman: well, this is a lot of work, but I think this may solve your problem. gkrellm is a strange little program. it will let you control your fan with the proper plugin... http://tuxtweaks.com/2008/08/how-to-control-fan-speeds-in-ubuntu/ | 00:04 |
| Zeptis | nothing, Meris, I just posted that right before you did | 00:04 |
| Meris | Zeptis, ah, you meant: Ninja'd. | 00:04 |
| Zeptis | ninja'd implies lack of sodas :\ | 00:05 |
| Dr_Willis | Ninja Soda Jerks? | 00:05 |
| Meris | Zeptis, does it now? How curious. Can't seem to see the connection between soda and ninja, but that must be me, I guess ;-) | 00:05 |
| v0lksman | hylian: yeah I'm hoping to not have to control my fan and set it back to auto. it's on a server anyways so no gui | 00:06 |

| Zeptis | andril, ubottu is. | 00:06 |
| hylian | v0lksman: i was thinkgin you could use that line about how to restart fancontrol. that's why i mentioned it. | 00:06 |
| Zeptis | !nvidia > andril | 00:07 |
| ubottu | andril, please see my private message | 00:07 |
| v0lksman | hylian: hahaha...that's what got me into this mess. :) | 00:07 |
| v0lksman | hylian: fancontrol wasn't installed before I started. so it makes sense that it's not needed and it disabled something | 00:08 |
| andril | thanks | 00:08 |

| LiquidNil | WeThePeople: i am here http://www.makemkv.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=224 | 00:08 |

| LiquidNil | makemkv-bin-1.7.7.tar.gz:2: *** target pattern contains no `%'. Stop. | 00:09 |
| LiquidNil | wait, i need to upack it first | 00:09 |
| LiquidNil | I have never compiled from source, how do i unpack it? | 00:09 |
| Dr_Willis | a -bin- imples to me its allready compiled and has the binary in it | 00:10 |
| LiquidNil | Dr_Willis: there are two files, a bin and a oss | 00:10 |
| hylian | v0lksman: ohh, i misunderstood. hmmm, how strange. considering this is a server you probably want to keep up, i am assuming you have not restarted it... could it be something that needs restart of the kernel to re-implement? | 00:10 |
| LiquidNil | apparently i need both. | 00:10 |
| HAMKoot | LiquidNil, old post from 2008 .. | 00:11 |

| LiquidNil | http://www.makemkv.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=224 | 00:11 |
| LiquidNil | those two files there | 00:11 |
| LiquidNil | im trying to watch blu ray on ubuntu | 00:11 |
| hylian | v0lksman: also, what version of ubuntu are you using? | 00:11 |
| Dr_Willis | You may want to spend an hr learning some shell basics first. | 00:12 |
| v0lksman | hylian: I could reboot but would rather not, might try just to save time... :) 12.04 | 00:12 |
| hylian | v0lksman: yeah i figured. to be honest, i don't know what to tell you. I have never needed to control my fans/temp to the degree your dealing with. I don't monk with the rack mounts too often. | 00:13 |
| natsirt | LiquidNil: you sure you dont mean 2 directories? | 00:14 |
| hylian | v0lksman: well, i'll keep digging. | 00:14 |
| LiquidNil | natsirt: I just did "tar -xfz" to those two files | 00:14 |
| LiquidNil | and now i have two new directories | 00:14 |
| natsirt | Dr Willis ou may want to spend an hr learning some shell basics first. | 00:14 |
| Zeptis | hotkeys are working, nvidia is working, wine is working, and pulseaudio is working; am I missing any big functionalities to readd to ubuntu? | 00:14 |
| hylian | Dr_Willis: i wonder if geekbox can play blueray. kind of a srtange woraround. but... | 00:14 |
| natsirt | hlyian: | 00:15 |
| markit | SolarisBoy: probably I've found the problem with my bonding | 00:15 |
| LiquidNil | http://www.geexbox.org/forum/topic/bluray-support/ | 00:15 |
| LiquidNil | Geekbox? | 00:15 |
| LiquidNil | is that a program available in the repos? | 00:15 |
| hylian | LiquidNil: ever hear of geekbox? it's a live cd/dvd for playing dvd's and blue ray... i think it can handle blueray. | 00:15 |
| LiquidNil | Apparently it supports blue ray | 00:15 |
| cschams | l | 00:15 |
| LiquidNil | hylian: is it in the repos? | 00:15 |
| hylian | LiquidNil: yeah, my typo. geexbox. | 00:15 |
| szal | hylian: did you mean: GeeXboX? | 00:15 |
| LiquidNil | is Geexbox in the repos? | 00:16 |
| markit | just an hardware one... with the case open, the video board was "burning" the 2 nics above it, sigh | 00:16 |
| hylian | szal: yeah i meant geexbox. | 00:16 |
| szal | LiquidNil: last I read of it, it was a Linux distro | 00:16 |
| LiquidNil | oh | 00:16 |
| LiquidNil | im not going to run it on a vm just to watch a blu ray disk | 00:16 |
| hylian | linusable: no, it is dvd/blueray software pre configured in a linux kernel. you run it from live cd or usb drive. | 00:16 |
| v0lksman | hylian: yeah thanks! normally we don't need to mess with fan speeds but this box is acting weird. at least it will be nice and cool overnight...hahaha | 00:17 |
| LiquidNil | hylian: where can i get it, the repos? | 00:17 |
| Jordan_U | LiquidNil: http://lxbdplayer.sourceforge.net/english.html looks promising, but I have not tested it in any way and cannot vouch for it.(simly found it through http://askubuntu.com/questions/9912/how-can-i-watch-blu-ray-discs?rq=1 ) | 00:17 |
| LiquidNil | Jordan_U: thanks | 00:18 |
| hylian | LiquidNil: not vm. you reboot the machine with the linux kernel, and then run the blueray. it doesn't play encrypted blue ray though... | 00:18 |
| subz3r0 | hylian, bla | 00:18 |
| subz3r0 | cheers | 00:19 |
| hylian | subz3r0: um, did i say something strange or bad? | 00:19 |
| Zeptis | how does one take a screen with Xwindows? | 00:19 |
| Zeptis | well, just X and a window manager, that is, and command line. | 00:19 |

| Zeptis | Dr_Willis: I have X and Openbox, so I was wondering how to do it from terminal via X. | 00:22 |
| LiquidNil | Jordan_U: your a genious | 00:22 |
| Dr_Willis | theres dozens of screenshot apps out there.. | 00:22 |
| LiquidNil | Jordan_U: just one thing, though i need a aacs plugin do you know where i can find it? | 00:22 |

| Zeptis | Psi-jack: proxies illegal? | 00:42 |

| Psi-Jack | Zeptis: Security evasion of the workplace firewall, ABSOLUTELY. | 00:43 |
| hylian | Zeptis: a hammer aint illegal either, unless your going to bludgeon me to death with it. I think Psi-Jack was trying to get to this point. :) | 00:43 |
| hylian | Teddey305: hello | 00:43 |
| Teddey305 | I was wondering if anyone might be able to help with an installation problem i was running in to while trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 on an IBM 600X Notebook, I believe it said something like you eepron or prom serial might be changed, and it won't install. | 00:44 |
| Psi-Jack | hylian: Heh, glad some people have common sense. ;) | 00:44 |
| Zeptis | Psi-jack: do you happen to know which statute? | 00:45 |
| Zeptis | I know the modifying a network is, but just running certain traffic through it? | 00:45 |
| Psi-Jack | Using an external proxy to evade the company firewall is "modifying the network" | 00:45 |
| hylian | Teddey305: sorry, couldn't find anything like that. your trying to install 12.04? | 00:46 |
| Zeptis | how draconian | 00:46 |

| Starthunder | I think I found a bug...I have Ubuntu 12.04.1-LTS on a PowerPC machine, and when I switch to a tty that nopony's logged in on and press any arrow key, the whole thing acts like...I'm not even sure how to describe it... | 00:54 |
| Teddey305 | i restarted the pc | 00:54 |
| Teddey305 | and the cd seems to have gotten stuck, so im going to burn a new copy and see | 00:54 |
| WeThePeople | coldkey21, what distro u using | 00:55 |
| hylian | Teddey305: this problem has existed since 2006. It looks like Ubuntu never did solve this problem. You may have to use another distrobution. I would not suggest fedora though, it seems they have the same problem | 00:56 |
| blackshirt | what the problem exactly? | 00:56 |
| coldkey21 | 12.04 | 00:56 |
| hylian | blackshirt: he gets this error: IBM Laptop detected; this module may corrupt your serial eeprom! Refusing to load mudule! | 00:56 |
| hylian | blackshirt: and then he can't install ubnutu | 00:57 |
| blackshirt | that was very basic... | 00:57 |
| WeThePeople | teddey305, you could ask in #hardware too | 00:57 |
| Jordan_U | Teddey305: Are you actually running into any problems or are you just worried about seeing an error message? | 00:57 |
| Teddey305 | i already ran into an error message | 00:57 |
| hylian | blackshirt: he has a ibm 600 x. there is a problem in the kernel itself, i believe. it will not install ubuntu. | 00:57 |
| Teddey305 | but i restarted the pc and it seemed to get past the error message, but the pc froze up | 00:58 |
| blackshirt | i don't know exactly what the hardware inside that series.. | 00:58 |
| Teddey305 | so i burned a new copy to see if i get the same message | 00:58 |
| blackshirt | Have you try to disable some spesific options? | 00:58 |
| Teddey305 | but if i did have to find another distro, which one is as easy to use as ubuntu? This is for my mother, who is 67, and she's used to windows lol, but i dont have the money to buy her a new pc at the moment, so im trying to get this one fixed up, so she can at least watch some youtube videos or listen to some music. | 01:00 |
| === Dr_Willis_ is now known as Dr-Willis-testin | ||

| coldkey21 | hello! So i am using 12.04 and i am running duel monitors but it is telling me in the display that it is just on giant one. is there a way to seperate them? | 01:04 |

| LostMonk | does netflix instant watch not work on linux? | 01:09 |
| hylian | Teddey305: i am sorry man. I have dug as deep as I can. IBM never did give much or any support for this issue, and the linux heads basically came up with nada. I know ubuntu 5.10 works on your laptop. i can't imagine that being of any real help to you though for your purposes. | 01:09 |
| coldkey21 | hylian: the mirror option is not even avalible it sees it all as one large laptop monitor 3360x1050 when it should be two 1680x1050 | 01:09 |
| hylian | LostMonk: yes. it doesn't work. Netflix was paid a hefty sum of money by a certain large corporation to keep netflix off of linux machines, sorry. | 01:09 |

| Teddey305 | well, ill try and see if ubuntu installs on the laptop, i hope it does. All i really want is for my mother to be able to browse the internet, and with XP on the pc, it runs terribly slow, so even though im not a wiz with linux, i do know that older pc's usually run better on linux, so i wanted to try and see. | 01:10 |

| ikonia | hylian: right, so if you don't know - don't just say things, don't speak, be quiet, there is no need for random/untrue adlib to peoples technical questions. | 01:11 |
| KM0201 | jam__: avast is better for Linux (and easier to install/update) in my opinion | 01:11 |
| jam__ | It didnot send any password to my email | 01:12 |
| jam__ | :( | 01:12 |
| hylian | ikonia: i didn't make it up, i read it. how does anyone know things? they read about it. seriously. | 01:12 |
| KM0201 | jam__: check your spam filter... and remember, it takes up to 24hrs | 01:12 |
| jam__ | I did | 01:12 |
| jam__ | nothing there | 01:12 |
| KM0201 | how long has it been?.. cuz it's always sent me registration numbers no problem | 01:12 |
| hylian | coldkey21: what is the grpahics card of your machine? | 01:12 |
| ikonia | hylian: ok, "please don't quote random unsubstantiated articles as an adlib to technical questions - answer the question with a technical answer, or please don't speak". Is that any clearer for you ? | 01:13 |
| WeThePeople | teddey305, i would recommend DamnSmallLinux >> http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/download.html | 01:13 |
| hylian | ikonia: can do. :) | 01:13 |
| hylian | WeThePeople: but he wants to watch youtube videos... can you do that on dsl? | 01:13 |
| WeThePeople | yes | 01:13 |
| WeThePeople | just need flash | 01:13 |
| ikonia | you can watch youtube videos on any linux | 01:14 |
| jam__ | hey km0201 I tried it with two email but non of them recieved the password | 01:14 |
| hylian | WeThePeople: cool, last time i used dsl it could barely use java... | 01:14 |
| ikonia | guys - if you don't know an answer to something, please don't push it | 01:15 |
| ikonia | look at the question he's asking, look at the hardware he's using, think about what you are offering | 01:15 |
| jam__ | I really need to install avira (tar.gz package) | 01:16 |
| jam__ | please someone help me | 01:16 |
| hylian | ikonia: he is using a ibm 600 x. the problem is that any linux that uses lm sensors will conflict. this is after reading articles for ten minutes, but I think I have this down pat. because of this ubuntnu 12.04 is crashing during install. any advice is very appreciated. :) | 01:16 |
| worm | jam__: Is it source code? or binary package? | 01:16 |
| KM0201 | jam__: you're going to have to google "compile from source"... | 01:17 |
| ikonia | hylian: again think about it, lmsensors......nothing to do with youtube | 01:17 |
| === aaaas is now known as aaas | ||
| wilee-nilee | jam__, here is a link, are you sure you need avira? http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/04/list-of-free-antivirus-software-for-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/?ModPagespeed=noscript | 01:17 |
| ikonia | !antivirus | jam__ | 01:18 |
| ubottu | jam__: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 01:18 |
| hylian | ikonia: right. we are looking for a linux distrobution that does not use lm sensors so he can install linux, so he can watch youtube. you don't know what's going on, i do. please don't act this way, thanks., | 01:18 |
| ikonia | hylian: lmsensors is not installed an enabled by default on pretty much any linux distro | 01:18 |
| ikonia | hylian: I'm pretty sure I do know what's going on, hence why I'm asking you to think about the random advice and comments you are making to actually help poeple. | 01:19 |
| worm | jam__: Open the file, and have a look inside. if there is a file looks like "makefile" or "configure", that is a source code. | 01:19 |
| hylian | ikonia: he gets the error "IBM Laptop detected; this module may corrupt your serial eeprom! Refusing to load module!" and then ubuntu crashes during install. you now have all the info i do. research says it has something (maybe) to do with lm sensors. | 01:19 |
| jam__ | Ubottu I use dual boot with window and i transfer files to win with usb so | 01:19 |
| ubottu | jam__: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 01:19 |
| * cfhowlett Can't we all get along? | 01:19 | |
| ikonia | hylian: ........why is that lmsensors ? | 01:19 |
| ikonia | cfhowlett: please don't | 01:20 |
| hylian | ikonia: i really don't know. it was on 5 of the 8 websites i read abot this issue, so it is just my assumption. | 01:20 |
| ikonia | hylian: so the part that I said "please don't quote random websites that are unsubstantiated".....if you don't know, don't speak point didn't hit home. | 01:20 |
| hylian | ikonia: i am sorry i tried to help someone while no one else would help him. please help him, seriously. Teddey305 needs the help | 01:21 |
| ikonia | hylian: helping someone is great, if you know the answer, throwing random things at him.....is not | 01:22 |
| hylian | ikonia: stop barking at me and help him, please. this bickering with me is getting us nowhere. | 01:22 |
| ikonia | hylian: I'm not barking at you, I'm asking you to stop giving out random advice/comments to people if you don't know the answer/substance of an article. | 01:23 |
| hylian | cfhowlett: sorry man. i get too tied up in all this. | 01:23 |
| hylian | ikonia: OMG. you win. speak to someone else please. | 01:23 |

| hylian | jam__: any way we can help you today? | 01:26 |
| Starthunder | KM0201: I think ubottu expressed that good enough itself. ;) | 01:26 |
| jam__ | I installed avira and now it just disappeared | 01:26 |
| jam__ | I dont know where it is !!!!!!!!!!!!! | 01:27 |
| KM0201 | Starthunder: well considering he told him twice, and he still didnt' get it... i figured it needed reinforcing | 01:27 |
| hylian | jam__: on Ubuntu? | 01:27 |
| jam__ | yep 12.04 | 01:27 |
| Starthunder | KM0201: oh, lol | 01:27 |
| hylian | jam__: the first question would be why you installed an antivirus.. is it a linux version, or did you try and install it via wine? | 01:27 |
| jam__ | it linux version and it was a deb package | 01:28 |
| jam__ | got it from here See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 01:28 |
| hylian | jam__: can you type apt-cache search avg for me in the console? | 01:28 |
| jam__ | console is terminal? | 01:29 |
| hylian | jam__: yes. | 01:29 |

| jam__ | this the result jam | 01:30 |
| jam__ | hylan | 01:30 |
| hylian | jam__: ok, you did install it. i believe avg for ubuntu is strictly in the terminal though. I don't think it has a graphical component to it. this is from some experience using it on servers to remove viruses from windows machines. | 01:32 |
| WeThePeople | teddey305, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvrfBTrgfPU | 01:32 |
| jam__ | so i cant scan my usb drive? | 01:32 |
| jam__ | or any directory/ | 01:33 |
| hylian | jam__: you should be able to. you will just have to use avg console commands to do it with. if you want a graphical system, then you may want to look into f-prot instead. | 01:33 |

| KM0201 | danes: not natively | 01:34 |

| WeThePeople | teddey305, i think it needs eth0 though | 01:34 |
| cfhowlett | danes: nope. | 01:34 |
| danes | KM0201, is it possible at all? I dont want to use a VM | 01:34 |
| KM0201 | danes: then you don't want it to work | 01:35 |
| jam__ | nope let me use avira what is the command for that | 01:35 |
| danes | KM0201, so I bought a useless suscription then :( | 01:35 |

| KM0201 | danes: no, it works fine if you have Windows, or if you have an xbox/ps3/wii/TV that is capable of streaming netflix | 01:36 |
| wilee-nilee | StephdeChine, you can in xchat. | 01:36 |
| cellofellow | I plan to install Windows 8 in a virtual machine. Just, which one? I'm quite familiar with VirtualBox but was wondering if KVM with virt-manager is better. | 01:37 |
| hylian | jam__: here are the commands and a nice howto for avg. it is all console commands though. I had some success with clam av and f-prot. clam av does have a gui (grpahical front end) you can download seperately that will let you run the anti virus in a nice graphic window. http://ihaveapc.com/2011/07/how-to-install-and-use-avg-antivirus-in-linux-mint-ubuntu/ | 01:37 |
| danes | KM0201, too bad. I am enemy with windows and don't have any device you mentioned... Well. I'll stick to the phone screen | 01:37 |

| danes | KM0201, yes, I know. Linux rocks! I don't have anything against linux :) | 01:37 |
| cfhowlett | cellofellow: can't advise as windows 8 isn't even out yet and no one knows how well it will work in virutal. sorry. | 01:38 |
| cellofellow | cfhowlett: got ya, but I was just looking at my universities free (gratis) MS software shop, and it has 8 so I figured I'd use it. | 01:39 |

| cfhowlett | cellofellow: ahh, but grasshopper, you do NOT need to reinstall linux. You only need to reinstall the bootloader. | 01:42 |
| craigbass1976 | Anyone running on an ibook g4? | 01:43 |
| cfhowlett | cellofellow: installing windows then ubuntu just avoids restoring grub bootloader. | 01:43 |
| craigbass1976 | ubuntu won't wake up when I crack tyhe lid back open, but I'm running lxde, not unity. I'm not sure if it's an ubuntu question or lubuntu | 01:44 |
| cellofellow | cfhowlett: figures. But, even so, I'm not going to use it heavily. The only thing I can think that I'd for sure be running is Visio, and it's good to test sites in IE too. | 01:44 |
| Smackbook | how can I list which hard drives devices are in an mdadm device? | 01:44 |

| jrib | Zeptis: if you close software center, does apt-get work ok in a terminal? | 02:34 |
| trism | |Anthony|: interestingly, -38 was uploaded to -proposed in January so probably just got left behind, the release tracking bug dups on a bug for -39 | 02:34 |
| lidar | NicoBressler, congrats :) | 02:34 |
| cfhowlett | NicoBressler: greetings. | 02:34 |
| Zeptis | jrib: yes it does, for the most part | 02:34 |
| jrib | Zeptis: "for the most part"? | 02:35 |
| Zeptis | jrib: the bug you directed me to is an example | 02:35 |
| win98forever | Yeah, I'll try using something other than skype untill Microsoft fixes skype, but thanks anyways. | 02:35 |
| NicoBressler | Trying to learn the ins and outs. | 02:35 |
| yam_ | oh man I killed my ubuntu . I cant log in again . somebody help me | 02:35 |
| |Anthony| | trism, thanks for looking into it. I'm going to avoid the kernel updates from proposed | 02:35 |
| jrib | Zeptis: is that the only example? | 02:35 |
| Zeptis | pretty much, jrib | 02:35 |
| cfhowlett | NicoBressler: narrow your focus. What one thing would you like advice on. | 02:35 |
| KM0201 | win98forever: whats wrong w/ skype for linux (i find it works flawlessly for me... but ymmv) | 02:36 |

| Zeptis | how does Software center need freedesktop? | 02:36 |
| jrib | Zeptis: what are you trying to accomplish now? Getting drivers for your video card or something else? | 02:36 |
| win98forever | KM0201: Skype keeps loosing signal and going offline, and I have to restart it, which gets very annoying. | 02:36 |
| chspurgeon | willee-nilee: I can't get to nomodeset unless I'm missing something in the bios menu. Ones I get past the bios splash I get a non-reactive cursor | 02:36 |
| cfhowlett | NicoBressler: ok. Python is over my head, but ask in this channel for help or #python (might be ##python) | 02:37 |
| KM0201 | win98forever: strange... | 02:37 |
| Zeptis | jrib: getting drivers for my video card so X doesn't default to intel | 02:37 |

| chspurgeon | cfhowlett: Yes, and I've installed ubuntu on this machine before. I made the mistake of letting a friend borrow it | 02:39 |
| yam_ | I just purged avg antivirus | 02:39 |
| Zeptis | jrib: you're awesome. Thanks for knowing that daemon's name. | 02:39 |
| yam_ | and Ubuntu 12.04 died :( | 02:39 |
| |Anthony| | i wouldn't recommend anyone to use avg on ubuntu, but that's just me. | 02:39 |
| cfhowlett | chspurgeon: dang. Gotta ask though, how'd the friend mess things up? Guest account doesn't allow system changes, so ...? | 02:39 |
| Ububegin | how to know whether my ubuntu OS is 32 or 64 biy | 02:39 |
| Ububegin | bit, i mean | 02:39 |
| jrib | Zeptis: it's "Additional Drivers", "Hardware Drivers", "Restricted Drivers", or something like that in one of the menus | 02:40 |
| jrib | Ububegin: uname -m | 02:40 |
| h22turbo | Ububegin: type uname -a in terminal and paste results here | 02:40 |
| |Anthony| | or uname -a | 02:40 |
| h22turbo | is it says x86_64 (i think) then its 64 bit | 02:40 |
| Zeptis | lol, hello again | 02:40 |
| Zeptis | signal 11 again | 02:41 |
| chspurgeon | cfhowlett: No, I gave him the laptop as a stand in, gave him a clean install to convert him to ubuntu. Was successful as well, but I couldn't boot the machine once he returned it. | 02:41 |
| h22turbo | if it says something about i686 or i386... then its 32 bit | 02:41 |
| amy_ | Hey folks. Is anyone on good with network data analysis/management and might know some good apps for monitoring various machine usages? | 02:41 |

| __Eggman | Zeptis: what video card are you running? | 02:42 |
| yam_ | hey I purged avg and now my ubuntu is down?? any guide? | 02:42 |
| h22turbo | Ububegin: you are using Ubuntu 64 bit | 02:42 |
| chspurgeon | cfhowlett: he had sudo and a clean install | 02:42 |
| lidar | yam_, do you havbe a shell ? | 02:42 |
| h22turbo | yam_: purged avg? | 02:42 |
| |Anthony| | yam_, what do you mean you purged avg? | 02:42 |
| Zeptis | _Eggman: nVidia 9650m GT rev:a1 | 02:42 |
| h22turbo | removed it? | 02:42 |
| yam_ | purge is kind of uninstalling I guess. | 02:43 |
| yam_ | command | 02:43 |
| lidar | yam_, "purge" brutalizes because you probably removed half the gui files | 02:43 |
| __Eggman | Have you installed the nVidia drivers? I've never heard of them causing a sig 11 | 02:43 |
| Spiify | Hello all | 02:43 |
| yam_ | oh my gosh I m the best in destroying my os | 02:43 |
| cfhowlett | chspurgeon: ah. My $0.02, use a non-admin account for daily use and save the admin for, well, admin stuff. But that's only because I've done the 0200 in the a.m. "Oh ****!" what did I just do? | 02:43 |
| yam_ | is there anything that I can do now | 02:43 |
| cfhowlett | !purge|yam_ | 02:44 |
| ubottu | yam_: To purge all removed but not yet purged packages, use the following command: dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/{print $2}' | sudo xargs dpkg -P | 02:44 |
| Ububegin | h22turbo: gracias bro | 02:44 |
| cfhowlett | Spiify: greetings | 02:44 |
| h22turbo | Ububegin: :) | 02:44 |
| chspurgeon | cfhowlett: yeah, I think I'm coming around to your line of thinking after this | 02:44 |
| saied | hi | 02:45 |
| WeThePeople | hi | 02:45 |
| cfhowlett | chspurgeon: wish I could help, but that nomodeset should have worked. the workaround is to get the alternate installer iso. | 02:45 |
| lidar | WeThePeople, hi | 02:45 |
| yam_ | ubottu: You mean I should purge the rest of files left from my ubuntu ?? | 02:45 |
| ubottu | yam_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 02:45 |
| cfhowlett | WeThePeople: greetings | 02:45 |
| Spiify | So i have a question that may sound silly. Can ubuntu be installed on a freshly built cp with no os | 02:45 |
| cfhowlett | Spiify: not silly and yes it can | 02:46 |
| yam_ | is that real he always repead it . is it joke or sth? | 02:46 |
| chspurgeon | cfhowlett: ill give that a try, thanks for your help! | 02:46 |
| cfhowlett | chspurgeon: best of luck. | 02:46 |
| lidar | Spiify, no question is silly!! well yours kind of is but of course it can be installed | 02:46 |
| |Anthony| | yam_, that is a bot | 02:46 |
| yoof | yes | 02:46 |
| h22turbo | yam_: u can boot ubuntu in recovery mode, drop to a root shell, then reinstall it to get back to your desktop | 02:46 |
| Smackbook | does adding a drive to an mdadm array overwrite its partition table? | 02:47 |
| MonkeyDust | yam_ ubottu is a (ro)bot | 02:47 |
| yam_ | so should i do what he says dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/{print $2}' | sudo xargs dpkg -P | 02:47 |
| yoof | how much programming knowledge does it take before i can write code for ubuntu | 02:47 |
| yoof | ? | 02:47 |
| h22turbo | yam_: then try to remove it again (try google for proper way to uninstall AVG on ubuntu) | 02:47 |
| MonkeyDust | yam_ and ubottu is a girl | 02:47 |
| |Anthony| | yam_, may i suggest that in the future you use clamav | 02:47 |
| WeThePeople | !ubotto | 02:47 |
| jrib | yam_: wait | 02:48 |
| h22turbo | yoof: thats a pretty open question... code what? what language? umm... cant really be answered | 02:48 |
| |Anthony| | yam_, it is in the ubuntu repos and is (imho) superior to the commercial options | 02:48 |
| agc93 | Has anyone else had the NVIDIA API Mismatch errors with the new drivers? | 02:48 |
| yoof | i am beginning c++ right now | 02:48 |
| jrib | yam_: do you understand that that command will remove all configurations from packages you've uninstalled? | 02:48 |
| Spiify | Haha i was thinking about building a pc for the first time and i am on a strict budget figured ubuntu would be the eay to go | 02:48 |
| lidar | yoof, you cvan contribute to almost any project ... if its a good patch the maintainer will use it | 02:48 |
| yam_ | yep | 02:49 |
| __Eggman | yoof: I would suggest reading the GNU guide to C/C++ programming, it is very well written and has plenty of examples | 02:49 |
| h22turbo | yoof: you can download many C++ IDEs for ubuntu to code and compile | 02:49 |
| Zeptis | hello again: I'm in jockey-gtk, and I'm looking at 4 drivers; they all seem to be directing me to a /usr/share/doc/ section I don't have a directory for. | 02:49 |
| cfhowlett | Spiify: very wise. | 02:50 |
| h22turbo | Zeptis: i always download the drivers from the actual company website (nvidia.com, etc) and install like that | 02:50 |
| agc93 | After I installed the latest NVIDIA drivers, X won't start because of a mismatch with the kernel module. | 02:50 |
| agc93 | I don't think that will work | 02:51 |
| Zeptis | h22turbo: >>Unable to determine the version of the kernel sources located in '/lib/modules/3.2.0-29-generic/build' | 02:52 |
| h22turbo | agc93: did u remove the nouveau modules? | 02:52 |
| Zeptis | from the nvidia-installer.log | 02:52 |
| yoof | great, i will check out the gnu guide to c/c++ programming | 02:52 |
| zykotick9 | h22turbo: nvidia.com drivers are usually a bad idea on ubuntu... jockey is a MUCH better idea. | 02:52 |
| h22turbo | oh, u need to download your kernel source/headers, uninstall the nouveau modules, then install nvidia drivers | 02:53 |
| h22turbo | zykotick9: i get better performance with nvidia.coms drivers.... way better than the jockey drivers | 02:53 |
| zykotick9 | !wfm | 02:53 |
| ubottu | Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ | 02:53 |
| lidar | its not the "ubuntu" way but i always built my own kernel and then used nvidia drivers from website | 02:54 |
| __Eggman | yoof: It's a small pdf, I would also hang out at #ubuntu-programming (though it's usually a ghost town) | 02:54 |
| Zeptis | h22turbo: if I did the universal metapackage for headers and source, I just need to uninstall nouveau, right? | 02:55 |
| h22turbo | agc93: there is tons of howto guides on installing nvidia.coms drivers on ubuntu. it will show you step by step how to do everything. | 02:55 |
| h22turbo | Zeptis: yea, but just to be safe... I'd do a uname -a and download the correct ones... the meta packages should work fine tho | 02:56 |
| h22turbo | and install the build-essential package | 02:57 |
| Spiify | Does ubuntu run well on low end processors? | 02:58 |
| === buhman is now known as xXxXxbUhmAnxXxXx | ||
| h22turbo | Zeptis: apt-cache search linux-headers-$(uname -r) | 02:58 |
| Zeptis | Spiify: not out of the box, use xbuntu for that | 02:58 |
| === xXxXxbUhmAnxXxXx is now known as xXxXXXxXxX | ||
| __Eggman | Spiffy: Depends, GNOME can be kind of heavy handed on your graphics, I'd suggest trying Lubuntu or Kubuntu which feature lighter-weight desktop environments | 02:58 |
| cfhowlett | Spiify: lubuntu and xubuntu both run well on low-spec machines are are designed to do so | 02:59 |
| h22turbo | Spiify: depends on the desktop env u use... gnome and kde would be pretty sluggish on a low end pc | 02:59 |
| h22turbo | Spiify: try xubuntu | 02:59 |
| yam_ | I cant log in my ubuntu . how can i back up by desktop to a flash drive? | 02:59 |
| euryale | hi guys | 02:59 |

| h22turbo | Zeptis: nope | 02:59 |
| Zeptis | cool | 02:59 |
| euryale | i cant login to ubuntu 11.04 im using tty | 03:00 |
| Spiify | Should i stay away form amd? | 03:00 |
| cfhowlett | Spiify: imo, yes | 03:00 |
| __Eggman | Spiify: AMD procs? GPUS? | 03:00 |
| yam_ | lidar: what do you mean? | 03:00 |
| Zeptis | spiify: nah, but hyperthreading is cool, if you can afford it. | 03:00 |
| Spiify | Procs | 03:00 |
| h22turbo | yam_: boot from live cd... or boot in "recovery mode" and drop to root shell | 03:00 |
| somsip | Spiify: Age Related Macular Degeneration? | 03:00 |
| __Eggman | Procs are fine, GPUs (and their driver support) are a different story | 03:01 |
| lidar | hyperthreading is slow under load | 03:01 |
| Zeptis | ah~ the great no-driver vs burning-car argument | 03:01 |
| __Eggman | >.< | 03:01 |
| Zeptis | lol | 03:01 |
| forecle | talk | 03:02 |
| agc93 | I just had a quick search and turns out there actually aren't any guides on the net that work with the new NVIDIA drivers. They usually fail after the first reboot. | 03:02 |
| cfhowlett | forecle: ?? what? | 03:02 |
| somsip | agc93: new ones from where? | 03:02 |
| lidar | yam_, use the install disk .. or usb stick as a recovery tool | 03:02 |
| forecle | chat | 03:02 |
| forecle | verything | 03:03 |
| Zeptis | h22turbo: so, I got my headers, I got my source, so I just need to remove the nouveau xorg, right? | 03:03 |
| agc93 | NVIDIA website, or the xorg-edgers PPA, possibly also X-Swat. Haven't checked what they're up to | 03:03 |
| yam_ | ok how lidar | 03:03 |
| cfhowlett | forecle: this is ubuntu support. have you a question? | 03:03 |
| yam_ | Im in boot shel now | 03:03 |
| yam_ | root shel | 03:03 |
| Zeptis | yam_: startx? | 03:03 |
| Spiify | So say pentium G630 vs amd Athlon II X3? | 03:03 |
| forecle | no | 03:04 |
| lidar | yam_, you might be able to just apt-getr install ubuntu-desktop | 03:04 |
| === xXxXXXxXxX is now known as buhman | ||
| somsip | agc93: I think you've already been advised that NVIDIA drivers may not be suitable, but if current drivers are not working, instal official repo drivers or an old version of XSwat, etc... | 03:04 |
| forecle | i'm have question | 03:04 |
| Zeptis | shoot, forecle. | 03:04 |
| __Eggman | Spiify: Either is good, the G630 would use less power IIRC it's a 65W but most of the i3's use closer to 35 regardless of their TDP rating | 03:04 |
| cfhowlett | !ask|forecle: | 03:04 |
| ubottu | forecle:: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 03:04 |
| agc93 | somsip: Repo ones don't seem to support multimonitors on my card, which is kind of a deal-breaker for me. Will try old XSwat | 03:04 |
| h22turbo | Zeptis: no... u have to blacklist the kernel module from loading... do a google search on install nvidia ubuntu | 03:05 |
| yam_ | command not found lidar | 03:05 |
| Zeptis | !nvidia > zeptis | 03:05 |
| ubottu | Zeptis, please see my private message | 03:05 |
| Zeptis | play it again, James. | 03:05 |
| h22turbo | lots of howto guides on installing nvidia drivers on ubuntu | 03:05 |
| somsip | agc93: I played with a few and XSwat seemed to have a good rep. I'm on dual monitor here on an old card with official drivers, but different models may be dodgy | 03:05 |
| agc93 | somsip: ok, I'll have a look. My early attempts at using multiple cards for triple monitors resulted in a borked install but I might be able to get duals working | 03:06 |
| yam_ | what is the command to coppy my desktop to usb | 03:06 |
| === euphoria is now known as ceradon-away | ||
| Spiify | Would ubuntu run good enough on either of those with 4GB DDR3? | 03:06 |
| Zeptis | okay, I'm going to write this down this time so I don't forget syntax | 03:06 |
| somsip | agc93: how are you settng it up? With nvidia-settings or a manual method? | 03:06 |
| agc93 | yam_ what are you trying to copy? | 03:06 |
| yam_ | my desktop | 03:07 |
| agc93 | somsip: nvidia-settings mostly. Xorg.conf never works for me anymore | 03:07 |
| Zeptis | Spiffy: RAM would be fine, but the processing on unity will be somewhat slow | 03:07 |
| agc93 | yam_ you're going to need to be more specific | 03:07 |
| h22turbo | yam_: cp /home/XXXX/Desktop /media/USB/ (or whatever ur USB is mounted as) | 03:07 |
| __Eggman | agc93: What card? have you tried nividia-current | 03:07 |
| somsip | agc93: ok - that worked easily for me, so seems to make sense | 03:07 |
| __Eggman | nvidia* | 03:07 |
| yam_ | a folder named ubuntu traing for ex | 03:07 |

| lidar | yam_, apt-get install i typoed it | 03:08 |
| agc93 | The one from jockey is allegedly already installed | 03:08 |
| __Eggman | agc93: Also, not all cards support triple head | 03:08 |
| h22turbo | yam_: what are u trying to backup/save? | 03:08 |
| agc93 | __Eggman: which is why before I tried with multiple cards. That was what broke it first | 03:08 |
| wade | Sorry to interrupt, has anyone successfully made a 12.04 bootable flash drive for an Intel Mac? | 03:08 |

| __Eggman | agc93: what card(s) are you using? Typical multicard, multimonitor setups use xinerama + twinview, but GT/GTX 6xx series can support up to 4 monitors out of the box | 03:10 |
| Spiify | Are the Llano line any better or should i stay away from them | 03:10 |
| yam_ | lidar: I corrected it now but still does not work | 03:10 |
| lidar | yam_, what error ? | 03:10 |
| __Eggman | Spiify: Weak cores, strong GPUs, depends on the computers intended use | 03:10 |
| h22turbo | yam_: umm, why are u backing everything up on a usb stick? i would just backup what u need/want like docs, pics, etc... then reinstall ubuntu fresh... | 03:10 |
| F1CCC | #channel 10 | 03:11 |
| agc93 | __Eggman: older than that. I've tried a couple of combinations of GeForce 210's, 9800's, 9600's and 8400's. None of them work properly. Turning on Xinerama usually breaks, but TwinView works for just two of them | 03:11 |

| ubottu | yam_: The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. | 03:14 |
| h22turbo | yam_: live cd is ubuntu iso burnt to a CD. u can boot up ubuntu in a live env from the CD | 03:15 |
| __Eggman | agc: sorry to leave you hanging, I don't have any experience w/ twinview :( | 03:15 |
| cfhowlett | yam_: you can also create a live USB | 03:15 |
| yam_ | I installed it from a bootable usb | 03:15 |
| cfhowlett | yam_: same same | 03:15 |
| yam_ | I still have it | 03:15 |
| h22turbo | yam_: that will give u a graphical desktop again... then u can mount your ubuntu partition and save whatever u want and also try to fix your problems | 03:15 |
| bruteforce | yam_: then the bootable usb is your live media | 03:16 |
| yam_ | how step by step? please | 03:16 |
| agc93 | somsip: just tried apt-get installing nvidia-current, rebooting, then all my monitors appear as disabled in nvidia-settings. If I change one back to Separate X Screen and restart X, Compiz crashes, Unity never loads and the desktop is unusable. With just one monitor | 03:17 |
| h22turbo | yam_: google is your friend man... use it... esp if you are new to linux and trying to do stuff. google has millions of step by step howto guides with pictures and everything | 03:17 |
| h22turbo | yam_: a lot easier than somebody tryin to type everything out on IRC | 03:17 |
| cfhowlett | yam_: plug in your usb, reboot, change the bios to booot from the usb and then install. You said you did this already so it's the same process. | 03:17 |
| somsip | agc93: ah, well I'm not in unity/compiz so I'm not sure how badly that might affect things. If I paste xorg.conf would that help? | 03:18 |
| agc93 | somsip: maybe. I was more just getting at the fact that wasn't working. | 03:18 |
| yam_ | cfhowlett: I did it before but it will erase all of my files | 03:18 |
| h22turbo | yam_: google search ubuntu live cd recovery and u will find lots of howto guides on what you are trying to do | 03:19 |
| somsip | agc93: then maybe I can't help more. I'm no expert - I just have the same config and, except for some kernel module build problems I had, this worked out of the box for me | 03:19 |
| cfhowlett | yam_: which is why you backup your /home first. | 03:19 |
| somsip | agc93: the module is loading ok is it? | 03:19 |
| yam_ | which I failed to do the backup | 03:19 |
| agc93 | somsip: Not sure. Seems to be. lsmod has it there. But nvidia-settings thinks all of my displays are disabled | 03:19 |
| h22turbo | yam_: it will not erase all your files... you are just booting from cd/usb... then you must mount the actual partition u installed ubuntu on... then u can make changes to it and/or fix it | 03:20 |
| yam_ | thats all I need a back up | 03:20 |
| Spiify | How about a prntium g640t for cpu? | 03:20 |
| _pepitor | hi buddiesanybody knows what's up with undernet servers? I can't connect! | 03:20 |
| cfhowlett | _pepitor: servers are changing over. It'll be awhile ... | 03:20 |
| h22turbo | yam_: like i said, google ubuntu live cd recovery (use the same process even tho you are using live usb) | 03:21 |
| somsip | agc93: this may be unrelated, but I did have the same. Make sure that the module is present and built for the kernel you're running. That whatever you show for uname -r is in the list of modules built by dpkg when you install the drivers | 03:21 |
| _pepitor | okie, long time I don't log into IRC... thanks! :) | 03:21 |
| yam_ | tell me what to google h22 | 03:21 |
| h22turbo | yam_: backup important stuff like pics, docs, whatever... then format ur hard drive and do a fresh install of ubuntu | 03:21 |
| __Eggman | Spiify: Good, but it may struggle on some games | 03:21 |
| h22turbo | yam_: ubuntu live cd recovery | 03:22 |
| agc93 | somsip: That's what the original problem was. NVIDIA's drivers off the website build the 304.43 driver, but with a 173 module, so they fail. I can't work out how to force the module version | 03:22 |
| somsip | agc93: Purge everything nvidia. Start again. | 03:22 |
| h22turbo | yam_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CategoryBackupRecovery | 03:22 |
| agc93 | somsip: done that. Twice :( | 03:22 |
| agc93 | somsip: all of this is from a clean install because I keep having to reinstall | 03:23 |

| agc93 | somsip: no since 295.4 isn't current anymore. Now 304.43 is the latest one. I think that's whats causing the problem | 03:24 |
| h22turbo | theres many ways to do it... just use google and read up | 03:24 |

| agc93 | How do I tell without GUI? | 03:25 |
| somsip | agc93: use minimal/aternative install | 03:25 |

| Guest95517 | cfhowlett, I could create a new partition and just mount it somewhere, but I'm not sure what the best schema would be.

| Guest95517 | cfhowlett, no, it gets so far past grub then bleah.... Something about a broken pipe at this point, but the disk was totally full before I started clearing out old apt caches and trying to repartition. | 04:05 |
| cfhowlett | Guest95517: also, if he's running vista and has only 250 gig HDD, I'm guessing this is an older box which means MBR scheme. | 04:05 |
| Zeptis | 95517: 'broken pipe' is an error returned by X11, if that's any help in narrowing it down. | 04:06 |
| cfhowlett | Guest95517: you got issues, son. :) Assuming you're not contemplating "fixing" Vista, seems to me the best option is to optimize ubuntu. You're limited as there're already 3 primary partitions, so you can't add another primary without violating the mbr and breaking things. My suggestion?

| Guest95517 | cfhowlett, I've now got the Vista partition shrunk to 100 gigs less than what it was. It only need to run in April, as it has turbotax that the guy needs for taxes. | 04:09 |
| cfhowlett | Guest95517: by the way, if you go that way, assign a larger a / partition. 1 or 2 updates and that things going to max out. You;ll need to clean out the .debs with sudo apt-get clean, but your user won't know that, will he? | 04:09 |
| Guest95517 | Zeptis, I'm on a xubuntu 12.04 livecd right now, on the box in question | 04:09 |
| Guest95517 | cfhowlett, that's what I'm trying to do. | 04:10 |
| Guest95517 | cfhowlett, the / I mean | 04:10 |
| Zeptis | oh cool; what flavor of Xorg is his installation using? | 04:10 |
| cfhowlett | Zeptis: guest95517's gparted >> http://static.inky.ws/image/2678/image.jpg | 04:11 |
| Guest95517 | Zeptis, I installed xubuntu on his box off this livecd | 04:11 |
| membreya | touch screen worked after reboot. Where is the USB drive mounted however? | 04:11 |
| membreya | ./media ...nevermind ;) | 04:12 |
| Guest95517 | cfhowlett, hang on... I might be all set. I've never moved stuff with gparted. Usually I use fdisk and just delete everything. I quit windows years ago and haven't had to worry about dual boot since | 04:12 |

| dj_segfault | Hi. I'm trying to get Postfix configured based on https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/postfix.html#postfix-sasl That section on SASL says to add a block to the socket listen {... section, but I can't find that in any of the configuration files. Where is that supposed to be? | 04:16 |
| Guest95517 | Zeptis, I'm trying to leave the Vista partition alone, so I Guess I keep shifting things about until I get the unallocated space next to sda5... Dunno if that will work yet. | 04:16 |
| Zeptis | 95517: and you can't move /dev/sda4? | 04:17 |
| testingz0 | http://ubottu.com/y/dl | 04:17 |
| Guest95517 | Zeptis, there were alread four priamry partitons. I guess that was shooting me in the foot. The vista partition being secretly corrupted (rather like politicians, no?) was something that has been shooting me in the other foot that I just didn't know yet. | 04:19 |
| LiDaR | dj_segfault, you "should" be able to put settings in any one of the config files ... | 04:19 |

| cfoch | hello... I'm in a Live CD. I can't install some programs, because they're not found. What could I do? | 04:22 |
| grendal_prime | i neeeeeed to be able to write these to dvd. I have done this before with 10.04 | 04:22 |
| grendal_prime | on this same machine | 04:22 |
| Zeptis | grendal: so, you converted your AVI -> mpeg2, and then what happened? | 04:23 |
| Zeptis | cfoch: which programs? | 04:23 |
| grendal_prime | i got 3 machines here and two of them I know i have done this on before..but for some reason now..with 1204 i get as far as. ya that part..i have the files in mpeg2 format | 04:23 |
| cfoch | Zeptis: for example testdisk, audacity, scalpel | 04:24 |
| grendal_prime | but brasero gets...2-25 megs into "converting to mpeg format" wich it is already in...and it stops working | 04:24 |
| Zeptis | grendal: have you attempted using a different DVDburner, or making an ISO then burning that? | 04:24 |
| osmosis | how can I get libboost1.37-dev for precise? | 04:24 |
| grendal_prime | these dvd burners work fine..it never even gets to that phase | 04:24 |
| grendal_prime | thas what im talking about i cant even write them to iso | 04:25 |
| Zeptis | grendal: you might also consider 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure brasero' | 04:25 |
| Zeptis | if you haven't that is | 04:25 |
| grendal_prime | ya ill give it a shot | 04:25 |
| Zeptis | cfoch: did you load the programs onto the LiveCD when you made it? | 04:26 |

| ubottu | octavio-rdz: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and higher) as aptitude cannot currently handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time.

| LiDaR | yam_, you should avoid .tar.gz on ubuntu if at all possible you can break things fairly easily | 05:55 |

| yam_ | and do i need to update clamav my self or it updates automaticly? | 05:57 |
| LiDaR | yam_, your running a mail server ? | 05:58 |
| crizis | yam_, you can install 'checkinstall' package, then you can do "checkinstall -D -y" instead of "make install" so you get .deb out of sources which can be easily uninstalled | 05:58 |
| yam_ | LiDaR_: nop | 05:58 |

| lotuspsychje | crizis:what you recommend for rootkits and usb autorun protection? | 06:01 |
| h22turbo | running a antivirus on linux is pointless.... if anything, get a rootkit scanner | 06:01 |
| crizis | lotuspsychje, common sense | 06:01 |
| fishbait | no luck flash still crashes on some videos | 06:01 |
| yam_ | i register for avast but it never send me the activation code | 06:02 |
| xormor | h22turbo, chkrootkit, http://www.chkrootkit.org | 06:02 |

| fishbait | i need a download for 11.1 11.2 is broke on some machines | 06:02 |
| h22turbo | getting exploited and viruses/malware is 2 totally different things dude.... lol | 06:02 |
| coolstar | fishbait: HTML5 video still works, riet? | 06:02 |
| h22turbo | a antivirus is not going to protect your server or linux pc from getting exploited | 06:02 |
| IBM1234 | now is an xploit and a virus the same thing, b/c then will the antivirus check for xploits? | 06:03 |
| crizis | lotuspsychje, "linux servers" hardly get exploited that often, crappy web software is what gets exploited usually | 06:03 |
| h22turbo | IBM1234: a exploit (or your pc getting exploited) and a antivirus scanner is 2 totally different things. a antivirus will not help in any way and will not detect a exploit if your computer is vulnerable | 06:04 |
| lotuspsychje | crizis: to stay a bit ontopic, you saying an ubuntu server is fully safe against specialized rootkits? | 06:04 |
| fishbait | i tried re-install of codecs tried install flashplugin-installer then sudo su cd /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/opera/plugins | 06:05 |
| IBM1234 | h22turbo: I understnad that which makes sense to me | 06:05 |

| IBM1234 | how about that USB autorun protection ? is there one for linux? | 06:06 |
| lotuspsychje | fishbait: just re-ask your question once in a while mate | 06:06 |
| crizis | lotuspsychje, that's pretty unanswerable question | 06:07 |
| crizis | lotuspsychje, capable admin can prevent getting any specialized rootkits on the server, to put it shortly | 06:07 |
| fishbait | of course i remembered rm libflashplyer.so before cd | 06:08 |
| lotuspsychje | crizis: i know common sense can save us alot of trouble, but still every day new tricks in tha house to exploit linux servers | 06:08 |
| h22turbo | IBM1234: u dont need one for linux.... autorun stuff works on windows... and malware that uses USB spread (autorun) only works on windows | 06:08 |
| lotuspsychje | fishbait: you got same troubles on other browsers? | 06:08 |
| Zeptis | fishbait: I segfaulted, what's the issue? | 06:08 |
| IBM1234 | h22turbo: nice! | 06:09 |
| h22turbo | IBM1234: just install rkhunter... thats really all u need | 06:09 |
| h22turbo | rkhunter --update | 06:09 |
| h22turbo | then | 06:09 |
| h22turbo | rkhunter --check | 06:09 |
| IBM1234 | thank you | 06:09 |
| h22turbo | np | 06:10 |
| h22turbo | there is malware and viruses for linux... but its pretty rare | 06:10 |
| h22turbo | u dont need a antivirus tho | 06:10 |
| crizis | lotuspsychje, 1) allow ssh only from certain ip's/hosts which you really need 2) install only services you actually use 3) mount /home and /var/www with noexec flag so you can't run binaries out of them, 4) jailkit the ssh users unless absolutely needed, and you've already done the job almost impossible for 99.99% cases | 06:11 |
| lotuspsychje | h22turbo: thats a dangerous thing to say.. | 06:11 |
| h22turbo | even downloading from torrents, limewire, etc... or browsing the web to an infected (drive-by) website that infects computers.... will 99.8% of the time not infect a linux computer | 06:11 |
| lotuspsychje | crizis: i agree that ssh is a danger for remote intrusion | 06:12 |
| yam_ | do i need to update clamav or it updates itself | 06:12 |
| crizis | + etckeeper so /etc keeps version controlled, install unattended-upgrades for security.. | 06:12 |

| rawfodog | it's just whatever came with my tower | 06:13 |
| Blue1 | rawfodog: there is also rtfm | 06:13 |
| h22turbo | if u get a virus, malware, rootkit, etc on your linux pc.... its because you dont have a fully updated system, you have some vulnerability that the "hacker" got in and installed the virus himself | 06:13 |
| IBM1234 | will the application.....sysinfo .... provide the info rawfodog is looking for? | 06:14 |
| h22turbo | some vulnerability as in open VNC or weak pass on VNC or SSH | 06:14 |
| h22turbo | hacker accesses it, then installs the malware, backdoor, rootkit, etc himself | 06:14 |
| trijntje | h22turbo: not completely true, linux can have unpatched exploits like any other system. For example the recent java exploit | 06:14 |
| lotuspsychje | h22turbo: lets stick with ubuntu topic | 06:14 |
| lotuspsychje | trijntje: thats a realistic approach finally | 06:15 |
| IBM1234 | Now if you have a good firewall then you strengthen your volnerabilities | 06:15 |
| h22turbo | yea, but the malware being spread is 99.8% of the time for windows pcs | 06:15 |
| crizis | theoretical scaremongering is waste of time | 06:15 |
| Blue1 | they way I run vnc is strange but secure. It requires ssh into the box, starting the vnc server manually, remaining logged in, then another password to start the vnc session. it works | 06:15 |
| LiDaR | your all off topic!!! | 06:15 |
| lotuspsychje | yes lets keep ontopic guys | 06:15 |
| Blue1 | yes we are | 06:15 |
| h22turbo | lotuspsychje: worry about ur convo... we are talking about ubuntu/linux | 06:15 |
| h22turbo | pay attention and quit acting like the channel police... trying to tell people what to do | 06:16 |
| lotuspsychje | so howto make sure an ubuntu system is 100% safe? | 06:16 |
| * KM0201 agrees with h22turbo | 06:16 | |
| h22turbo | we're talkin about linux computers being infected with malware and viruses | 06:16 |
| IBM1234 | h22turbo: Agree | 06:16 |
| susundberg | imho no system is 100% safe | 06:16 |
| tsimpson | please keep the conversation respectful and on topic | 06:16 |
| Blue1 | lotuspsychje: there is not such thing as 100% safe | 06:16 |
| h22turbo | susundberg: true | 06:16 |
| IBM1234 | It will never be 100% safe | 06:17 |
| susundberg | to be very sure you can always boot from live-dvd, without any user data | 06:17 |
| lotuspsychje | Blue1: still alot of security is on ubuntu's website, saying its very safe already | 06:17 |
| IBM1234 | thers is always going to be that someone that does it | 06:17 |
| KM0201 | security starts w/ with the knuckleheads that are pounding on the keyboard... if that fails, trust me, no OS is safe. | 06:17 |
| susundberg | in the media that is read-only malware cannot write changes .. | 06:17 |
| Blue1 | there is also a security through obscurity measure -- port 22 is blocked to the outside world - works inside the lan - if you want to ssh from the outside, you can move the listening port. | 06:18 |
| h22turbo | i know a lot about viruses, spreading malware, botnets, etc etc... and its very very rare your linux box will be infected by one browsing the web or downloading stuff from the internet (like movies, music, programs from known websites) | 06:18 |
| lotuspsychje | susundberg: how sure are we there is not a new-style mallware that can intrude ubuntu? | 06:18 |
| Blue1 | rootkits are hard, but not impossie | 06:18 |
| Blue1 | impossible even | 06:19 |
| crizis | theoretical bullcrap | 06:19 |
| h22turbo | or even if u access a java drive-by website that infects computers... the malware will not (well, 99% chance) spread or infect a linux bot | 06:19 |

| histo | piquadrat: sorry typo http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/12.04/ | 06:53 |
| sikmajnd | @fishbait - i tried with cd boot and installation gets terminated by signal 15 [9028] | 06:53 |
| mboone | fish: both firefox and chrome, firefox simply doesn't show anything, as chome says missing plugin | 06:54 |
| fishbait | sikmajnd: try re-downloading? | 06:54 |
| fishbait | mboone: try sudo apt-get reinstall flashplugin-installer | 06:55 |
| mboone | On it | 06:55 |
| erbo | where does the "1:" in a version like 1:173-0ubuntu4.3 come from? what does it mean? | 06:56 |
| piquadrat | histo: how does that relate to my question? | 06:57 |
| erbo | trying to build a newer version my self but ubuntu thinks 1:173 > my 183 version | 06:57 |
| erbo | (by ubuntu I mean apt :) ) | 06:57 |
| tsimpson | erbo: it's called an epoch, it happens when a version is uploaded but then needs to be replaced by an (numerically) older version | 06:57 |
| histo | piquadrat: sorry wrong person | 06:59 |
| erbo | tsimpson: thanks! do you know what part of the debian/* files controls the epoch info? I guess I need to use an epoch in my custom package as well. | 06:59 |
| tsimpson | erbo: debian/changelog | 07:00 |

| susundberg | zoran: have you tried just plugging it in? | 07:05 |
| mboone | fishbait: Ya man it isn't working. If I find an answer I'll let you know | 07:05 |
| wilee-nilee | rimal, You are sure the computer has bluetooth hardware I assume, and you hit the discover on the phone | 07:05 |
| zoran | yes it is already plugged | 07:05 |
| fishbait | mboone: don't worry about it i'm using opera not firefox | 07:06 |
| zoran | used to have mint 13 now switched to ubuntu | 07:06 |
| zoran | remember there was something with firmware to install the scanner | 07:06 |
| zoran | but do not remember details | 07:07 |
| zoran | :) | 07:07 |
| erbo | tsimpson: got it now, got confused that the old src package didn't have the epoch in the version field in the changelog, but it seems to work when I add it there :) | 07:07 |
| erbo | thanks! | 07:07 |
| zoran | scanner help??? | 07:09 |
| susundberg | zoran: you need to say what is the problem | 07:10 |

| zoran | pls someone tell me how and where to put gt68xx/PS1Dfw.usb things | 07:11 |

| Benkinooby | hi i have a laptop which as a eth connector on it, but ifconfig only shows the link local interface. how can i find out if he has a working network card and in case activate it? | 07:12 |
| susundberg | zoran: or maybe also check dmesg what it shows when you attach the device | 07:12 |
| dagerik | unable to detect my external monitor i am plugging in. it does not appear in the 'displays' settings | 07:13 |
| susundberg | Benkinooby: try 'sudo ifconfig eth0 up' | 07:14 |
| Benkinooby | susundberg, ERROR while getting interface flags: no such device | 07:15 |
| Benkinooby | susundberg, maybe it has a connectur but no card attached to it? | 07:15 |
| Benkinooby | susundberg, it's a dell latitude laptop, pentium 3 desingend for windows 2000 | 07:15 |
| Benkinooby | susundberg, let me chck the bios... maybe i find something there | 07:16 |
| mboone | fishbait: It's looking like the Restricted Extras package might solve the problem, I'll let you know | 07:16 |

| soman | Hi all. Cannot build codelite Ubuntu 12.04 32bit. I'm getting error asm/errno.h: file not found. Here is etc/environment file's contents: C_INCLUDE_PATH="/usr/include/i386-linux-gnu" CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH="/usr/include/i386-linux-gnu". What could be a problem? | 07:18 |
| sam___ | sudo su or sudo -i | 07:18 |
| sam___ | ? | 07:18 |
| LiDaR | soman, looks like your missing gcc or parts of | 07:18 |
| tsimpson | sam___: use "sudo -i" if you want a "root shell" | 07:19 |
| geirha | sam___: «sudo -s» instead of «su» or «sudo -i» instead of «su -» | 07:19 |
| soman | LiDaR: how can I fix it? | 07:19 |
| histo | soman: is there a reason you don't want to use codelite from teh software center? | 07:19 |
| sam___ | I need it for compiling | 07:19 |
| sam___ | whch one do i need? | 07:19 |
| tsimpson | sam___: you don't need to be root to compile anything | 07:19 |
| soman | histo: I need last from codelite's SVN | 07:19 |
| sam___ | tar.gz packages i read it in a guide i should be root. | 07:20 |
| BlackWeb | is Anyone familiar with Samba, My Question is through the gui interface then I'm able to add a samba user thats not a user on the local linux system, which when doing so it asks for Windows Username, & password then above for Unix account it says asterisk, Well how would i do that on a server through commandline, so that a windows user can access share without having local account on actual server | 07:20 |
| LiDaR | soman, i dont remebr the package names off top of my head | 07:20 |
| k1l_ | sam___: just use sudo <command> | 07:20 |
| sam___ | http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/softinstall.html | 07:20 |
| geirha | sam___: Then the guide is wrong. Only an install requires root, if you install it under /usr or /opt | 07:21 |
| k1l_ | sam___: its the ubuntu way to not be root all the time. so most howtos which are for linux dont expect that ubuntu way | 07:21 |
| LiDaR | soman, apt-cache search gcc should show what you need maybe apt-cache search build | 07:21 |
| histo | sam___: you don't need tob e root to compile only to install. but the correct way would be sudo -i | 07:21 |
| timfrost | soman: the compile dependencies will be needed. They will be installed with 'sudo apt-get build-dep codelite' | 07:21 |
| geirha | sam___: ./configure && make && sudo make install | 07:21 |
| histo | sam___: I would suggest using checkinstall to install packages from source | 07:21 |
| histo | !checkinstall | sam___ | 07:21 |
| ubottu | sam___: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 07:21 |
| dagerik | how do i troubleshoot that an external monitor is not detected by the 'Display' menu in the settings? | 07:22 |
| k1l_ | sam___: why not using the ubuntu how tos on the ubuntu wiki? | 07:22 |
| zoran | please what should i do to have my scanner working...i need some help | 07:22 |
| sam___ | wow thanks guy i got more that what i expected | 07:22 |
| wilee-nilee | zoran, With a quick look on the net I saw a debian and linux installs, appears to be a driver issuw and maybe xsane as well used | 07:23 |
| soman | timfrost: I got a message that I should fill sources.list. What does it mean? Should I add official repository's adress to those file or what? | 07:24 |
| timfrost | soman: what was the message (use a pastebin if it is more than one line ) | 07:25 |
| Name141 | When will 12.04 get a 12.04.1 ? | 07:26 |
| k1l_ | Name141: did it already | 07:26 |
| Name141 | k1l_: ah. Is there still billions of MBs to download in updates? | 07:27 |
| k1l_ | Name141: ? | 07:27 |
| k1l_ | Name141: think of it like the servicepacks on windows. they are steps where the updates get bundled for easier install | 07:27 |
| Name141 | k1l_: I don't want to be outside of my FAP Free Window time after installing the OS. (1-6 AM) and it count towards my FAP. | 07:27 |
| soman | timfrost: the message in russian and I'm translating: no packages with source code were found for codelite. No one package will be updated installed or removed. E: you should fill sources.list putting sources' URI in it. | 07:28 |
| Name141 | k1l_: I really should get off of Sat internet and their silly FAPs. | 07:28 |
| LiDaR | Name141, what country does that ? | 07:29 |
| Name141 | LiDaR: USA. | 07:29 |
| k1l_ | Name141: the reason for .1 release is, that you dont have to get all the updates since start. you only need the updates that came after that .1 release | 07:29 |

| thufir_ | has anyone completed the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mailman guide? it seems quite flawed... | 07:31 |
| jessejammes | sorry thanks | 07:31 |
| Name141 | LiDaR: yeah specially since they are coming out with hard limitations on Hughesnet Gen4. $100 for 20 GB daily FAP and "Extra Bytes" (The new "FAP Free Window) 20 GBs. All together only 40 GBs a month for $100. | 07:32 |
| Name141 | I assume they'll start rolling that down to old customers not on Gen4 | 07:32 |
| timfrost | soman: there is a version of codelite in the universe repository (at least for 12.04/precise). If you enable that repository, you should have access to the necessary packages. You might also find that the version of codelite in the repository is suitabl;e, so that you don't need to build frpom source | 07:33 |
| soman | timfrost: can it be because of I desabled I repository with source code version? | 07:34 |
| Bram_P | KM0201 I'm using the Alternate cd now, however I tried it a couple of times and it stays frozen at the second language screen | 07:34 |
| === mimor is now known as mimor_ | ||
| timfrost | soman: unlikely, but not impossible. Usually, a compile needs binary packages that have '-dev' in there name (such as 'libc-dev'), to get header files | 07:38 |
| LiDaR | Name141, i would run out of bandwidth in like 1 week if i was limited like that | 07:38 |

| xorox90 | what make me crazy... it changed after logout & login wihle but it didn't changed after reboot | 07:41 |
| soman | timfrost: apt-get search asm/errno.h returned me 'linux-libc-dev: /usr/include/i386-linux-gnu/asm/errno.h' Does it mean that I already have this header (I think it's path's problems or something else)? | 07:43 |

| jalexandru | I need help with program defaults; I set up libreoffice-calc as default for xlsx files and that works ok for local files but if I open thunderbird go to an e-mail, select the attached xlsx and hit "open" the default is set to "gnome numeric" and I have to search for libre office in all my computer; is there anything I can do about it? | 07:46 |
| timfrost | soman: check 'dpkg -l linux-libc-dev' - if that shows 'ii | 07:46 |
| timfrost | at the start of the line, then yes. otherwise no | 07:47 |
| soman | timfrost: thanks, it's installed... I will try to remove environment's include variables and re-run 'make' now... | 07:49 |
| Benkinooby | how can i see if i have a networkcard in my computer. the laptop has a network plug but ifconfig only shows the lo interface | 07:50 |
| LiDaR | Benkinooby, lspci | 07:50 |
| Benkinooby | LiDaR, it lists vga controller, audio multimedia controller, bridge, ide interface, usb controller, two card bus bridges, pci bridge und host bridge | 07:52 |
| timfrost | soman: there may be other development packages that you need. On my system, I get the results at http://paste.ubuntu.com/1171306/ | 07:52 |
| LiDaR | Benkinooby, no ethernet controller ? | 07:53 |
| soman | timfrost: now all worked. 1st: I removed includes from /etc/environment file and get next same error... 2nd I add include paths again and now it's building... | 07:53 |
| Benkinooby | LiDaR, there is nothing about ethernet | 07:53 |
| Benkinooby | LiDaR, since the laptop is elderly i thought it might not have a network card | 07:54 |
| Benkinooby | LiDaR, but there is an ethernet plug... | 07:54 |
| LiDaR | Benkinooby, is it disabled in bios? or by a "hotkey" ? | 07:54 |

| jasonz | hi all when I try to buy a game from the ubuntu software centre it say ssl handshake failed. | 07:55 |
| Kevin1a | I'm nearing the limits of my frustration here. Maybe one of you helpful individuals can ease my anger. I am getting stuttering (cutting in and out, sounding robotic, popping and crackling) sound on my system. I first experienced it using Window$ 7, and reinstalled the drivers a million times, tried 2 external soundcards (some of which linked to wireless headset so it can't be the cables), and tried just about everything else. I got frust | 07:55 |
| Kevin1a | rated, blamed it on Window$, and installed Ubuntu on the second hard disk. Strangely, I still have the issue. What in the world could cause cutting-out audio that is cross platform, cross sound-card, CPU-load independent (happens even when playing a regular mp3), not a codec problem (problem occures in VLC which uses it's own codecs), etc. Any ideas? The system has decent specs. Built in audio is Realteck, Audio Card I added is Creative | 07:55 |
| Kevin1a | X-Fi Platinum Fatality Champion Series, also tried with Plantronics wireless headset. | 07:55 |
| ganster | / | 07:55 |
| LiDaR | Kevin1a, maybe a bios update ? | 07:55 |
| Benkinooby | LiDaR, i checked in the bios but did not find anything... hotkeys either | 07:56 |
| Benkinooby | LiDaR, maybe the card was optional... so it has the plug but not the card... or it's broken | 07:56 |
| Benkinooby | LiDaR, ok, thank you for your input | 07:56 |
| LiDaR | Benkinooby, put your entire output from lspci on pastebin | 07:56 |
| Benkinooby | LiDaR, ok, give me a sec | 07:57 |

| sunil__ | ? | 08:01 |
| LiDaR | Benkinooby, your right not there | 08:02 |
| Kevin1a | I wish it was. I experience the problem with local and remote media. Youtube and mp3, flac, ogg, etc. files on my local drive. Also, in game audio. I could look for a bios update. This is going to make me sound like an idiot, and I probably deserve it despite running linux for almost 3 years now. How do I look for a bios update? :) I'm 25 and have never worked in the computer industry all I know about linux/computers is from screwing | 08:02 |
| Kevin1a | around and figuring stuff out. | 08:02 |
| sunil__ | Depends: libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1) but 1:4.6.3-1ubuntu5 is to be installed | 08:02 |
| LiDaR | Benkinooby, look in bios again see if its disabled | 08:02 |
| sunil__ | how to fix this? | 08:02 |
| Benkinooby | LiDaR, ok, will do that..but if i don't find anything i'd say it has not eth card. thank you for your time | 08:03 |
| LiDaR | Kevin1a, a bios update would be from manufacturer website its unlikely ... but it may be the solution | 08:03 |
| LiDaR | Benkinooby, if its physically present ... it should be there | 08:04 |
| Kevin1a | :( No idea what the motherboard is. This computer was literally pulled out of the trash at work. | 08:04 |
| Benkinooby | LiDaR, ok, thank you | 08:04 |
| sunil__ | any one help me plsssss | 08:04 |
| antero | Kevin1a: if you want to try the pci=nomsi thing, remember to run update-grub and reboot for it to take effect | 08:05 |
| LiDaR | Kevin1a, is it a desktop or laptop ? | 08:05 |
| Kevin1a | It's a desktop computer. | 08:05 |

| histo | Bram_P: you can boot a livecd or usb and mount your root paritition then chroot to that partition and edit the file and sudo update-grub. Or you can try passing command options at the grub menu. Hold the shift key down to get a grub menu | 08:33 |
| LiDaR | Kevin1a, figure out the mobo and google it .. might find a solution that way | 08:33 |

| antero | Kevin1a: just a slight concern since you typed 'added that line' - the line should have been there already and just needed modification | 08:36 |
| Kevin1a | yeah, I just changed it. It was something about soft splash or so. | 08:36 |
| antero | Kevin1a: great then it should have indeed taken effect if you run update-grub too | 08:37 |

| iamtotalyscrewed | Ubuntu will never move forward as an operating system because it lacks the users willing to help that it desperately needs. Most of the time all I see in forums are half resolved threads and trolls. I installed a package available in the official ubuntu repositories and recived no solutions, basically what i got was make this work or we cant help you, no one has the knowledge to help me get the files i need on a broken s | 09:42 |
| iamtotalyscrewed | ystem and most users ignore the power of the bare bones tty terminal. smartboyhw - make a live cd and run gparted, p.s. I work for proofpoint as a tech agent for sutherland, i actually know what i am doing and people wont even make a suggestion, the most I got was "installing a package wont break your system" the only distro that gets any suppoer is free bsd and they are just a bunch of masturbating monkeys complaining a | 09:42 |

| CrypticS_ | what's that ops command for trolls/? | 09:43 |
| MonkeyDust | iamtotalyscrewed mind your language -- did you have a question? this is not the place to rant | 09:43 |
| CrypticS_ | know what i'm doing and no one has a solution to my problem | 09:44 |
| * CrypticS_ shakes his head | 09:44 | |
| iamtotalyscrewed | yes i did I installed a package that completely ruined natty, it is called libasound2-plugin-equal | 09:45 |
| MonkeyDust | iamtotalyscrewed hint: first upgrade to 12.04, it may solve a lot of your technical issues | 09:46 |
| iamtotalyscrewed | i have no networking because it uninstalled wireless-utils | 09:46 |
| iamtotalyscrewed | i have terminal and that is it | 09:46 |
| iamtotalyscrewed | I would like to upgrade but first i have some hurdles to overcome | 09:47 |
| gordonjcp | iamtotalyscrewed: tbh if you've broken it to that extent, nuke and pave | 09:47 |
| gordonjcp | iamtotalyscrewed: I won't waste more than 30 minutes recovering a damaged system | 09:47 |
| iamtotalyscrewed | is there anyway to get packages to install in terminal using a flash drive? | 09:48 |
| gordonjcp | iamtotalyscrewed: dpkg -i <package> | 09:48 |
| iamtotalyscrewed | The flash drive is recognized the problem i am facing is getting to terminal reuires me to use alt + prtsc + r+ s +e then going into temrinal with ctrl alt 1 | 09:48 |
| iamtotalyscrewed | and thank you gordon i am trying that now | 09:49 |

| Marzata | !hu | 09:57 |
| ubottu | Magyar nyelvű segítséget az #ubuntu-hu csatornán talál | 09:57 |
| MonkeyDust | iamtotalyscrewed first mouont it, then cd to it | 09:57 |
| MonkeyDust | iamtotalyscrewed first mount it, then cd to it | 09:58 |
| iamtotalyscrewed | it is mounted | 09:58 |
| dr_willis | Mount it first iamtotalyscrewed | 09:58 |
| MonkeyDust | iamtotalyscrewed ok, now cd to the mount point | 09:58 |
| dr_willis | Then CD to the path its mounted to | 09:58 |
| iamtotalyscrewed | can you tell me how to pull up the mount point in terminal, it is all i have at the meoment | 09:58 |
| iamtotalyscrewed | moment* | 09:59 |
| MonkeyDust | iamtotalyscrewed type mount | 09:59 |
| dr_willis | !mount | 09:59 |
| ubottu | mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 09:59 |
| iamtotalyscrewed | I know that how do i navigate to the directory of the mount point is it in media? | 10:00 |
| MonkeyDust | iamtotalyscrewed in a terminal, type mount | 10:01 |
| MonkeyDust | iamtotalyscrewed in a terminal, type mount, see where it is mounted, then cd to it | 10:04 |
| dr_willis | now would be a good time to spend a half hour reading some bash basics guides | 10:10 |
| dr_willis | cd /media/whatever | 10:10 |
| gordonjcp | iamtotalyscrewed: why not just reinstall it? | 10:11 |
| gordonjcp | iamtotalyscrewed: save yourself some time | 10:11 |
| iamtotalyscrewed | well i'll just do a total reinstall, 'mount' does not display the location of my flash drive so i can install the package i want to install, for future reference do not install the officially provided ubuntu package libasound2-plugin-equal if you want a system wide equalizer, it will completely break your operating system in any debian based distro of linux. Even if you need a system wide equalizer to cross reference an | 10:12 |
| iamtotalyscrewed | audio file made with ubuntu studio. p.s. /media is empty, there is nothing left in my install to direct a mount point to media it is using legacy mount points. | 10:12 |
| gordonjcp | alternatively you may be able to boot off the install media and repair your system from that | 10:12 |
| gordonjcp | iamtotalyscrewed: what does "mount" say | 10:12 |
| gordonjcp | just "mount" on its own | 10:12 |
| gordonjcp | you may need to pastebin | 10:12 |
| iamtotalyscrewed | I tried using the recovery console but it doesnt support my default display mode of 1366x768 there are too many problems right now to repair without taking more time than it would to re-record off a fresh install, and pastebin isnt an option I cant retrieve text without nano | 10:13 |
| MonkeyDust | iamtotalyscrewed what was your initial question again, what are you tryin to achieve? | 10:14 |
| iamtotalyscrewed | i installed libasound2-plugin-equals and it uninstalled a laundry list of packages including my desktop manager and firefox as well as all of my xorg.conf packages | 10:15 |
| iamtotalyscrewed | it completely destroyed an installation that had been running since its release | 10:15 |
| MonkeyDust | !info libasound2-plugin-equals | 10:15 |
| ubottu | Package libasound2-plugin-equals does not exist in precise | 10:15 |
| iamtotalyscrewed | and i'm sorry i am running orneric | 10:16 |
| iamtotalyscrewed | 11.10 | 10:16 |
| iamtotalyscrewed | so is there any way to get a sytem wide equalizer in ubuntu after natty? | 10:16 |
| iamtotalyscrewed | system* | 10:16 |
| MonkeyDust | iamtotalyscrewed i guess it's faster, easier and more efficient to upgrade to 12.04, first | 10:17 |
| VastGsm | having trouble trying to create an "Xorg.conf" file due to it does NOT exist as of yet. The only file that exists is a "Xorg.conf" ----> How can I use this same file but save in directory "/etc/x11" as "Xorg.conf" please....?? thanks | 10:17 |

I installed grub customizer to remove the duplicates (im using burg, by the way). I uncheck everything except win | 10:40 |
| twalbaum | dows 7 and one of the ubuntu 12.04.1 entries and save it. when i refresh it, it generates NEW ubuntu 12.04.1 entries and they are checked. so i started out with about five, and now i have 12 because i keep trying to get rid of them. | 10:40 |
| MonkeyDust | VastGsm it's safer to keep it in the channel | 10:40 |
| twalbaum | also ive used ubuntu tweaks to see if i had some old kernel issues, and i dont. | 10:40 |

| d1rkp1tt | Hi All, Not sure if this is a postgres query or ubuntu, but I issues a command sudo passwd postgres... and now whenever I attempt to use sudo, it is requesting that I enter my postgres password, which it then does not accept | 10:43 |

| b3rz3rk3r_ | morning all, i need some advice on installing ubuntu to an ssd. I have windows on its own separate drive and will be giving Ubuntu the whole SSD. Will grub still properly overwrite the windows boot loader even though its on another drive? | 10:57 |
| WarOfTheNerd | b3rz3rk3r_, you can specify the drive it goes on | 10:58 |
| WarOfTheNerd | b3rz3rk3r_, to be honest though, I'd just change boot order in the BIOS and leave the Windows bootloader intact | 10:59 |
| dr_willis | b3rz3rk3r_: tell grub to install to the mbr of the ssd and set bios to boot from the ssd | 10:59 |
| dr_willis | thets mt setup with a 128gb ssd just for linux | 10:59 |
| WarOfTheNerd | because Windows 8 and future versions are going to be harder to work with in the future | 10:59 |
| WarOfTheNerd | dr_willis, SSD is more valuable on Linux with the way it jams up under heavy I/O load | 11:00 |
| twalbaum | can anyone tell me why my boot menu is generating duplicate entries every time i refresh it in grub customizer? | 11:00 |
| b3rz3rk3r_ | WarOfTheNerd, dr_willis ok thanks guys, will do! | 11:00 |
| dr_willis | with ssd here 12.10 boots into unity in like 10 sec ;) | 11:01 |
| dr_willis | there a few ssd tweaks you may want to use also | 11:01 |
| b3rz3rk3r_ | dr_willis, can you link me a guide you'd recommend? | 11:02 |
| dr_willis | scary when the os boots faster then the bios can do its post testing | 11:02 |
| WarOfTheNerd | I'm guessing noop is a good idea for an SSD | 11:02 |
| dr_willis | b3rz3rk3r_: read up on it at webupd8 omgubuntu and askubuntu.com is all i did | 11:02 |
| WarOfTheNerd | or deadline | 11:02 |
| b3rz3rk3r_ | dr_willis, ok thanks, i'll take a look | 11:03 |
| dr_willis | just a few extra options in fstab and moved tmp to a ramdisk i recall | 11:03 |

| gancar | Hi, I'm just wondering, can I have a bootable USB stick to use Ubuntu OS? | 11:09 |
| smartboyhw | Yes. | 11:09 |
| gancar | How? | 11:10 |
| smartboyhw | gancar: Do you have a Ubuntu Installation CD? | 11:10 |
| gancar | smartboyhw: Well I downloaded the OS from the website, installed ISO to disc, and now am running from DVD disc | 11:10 |
| smartboyhw | Good. Tell me what stage of installation are you in:) | 11:11 |
| viliny_^ | gancar: try http://pendrivelinux.com | 11:11 |
| gancar | smartboyhw: I'm not installing it to the Hard Drive, but am 'trying it' | 11:11 |
| dr_willis | Y | 11:11 |
| smartboyhw | Open the installer, or use viliny_^'s option | 11:12 |
| dr_willis | Or make a live USB on it | 11:12 |
| viliny_^ | gancar: you get the added benefit of the usb -> ability to run in persistent mode and your "live" stick stores changes as if it were an installed os | 11:12 |
| smartboyhw | Yep | 11:12 |
| viliny_^ | http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/ | 11:13 |

| theGrgz | what's the best way to customize an Ubuntu ISO? (Have some packages pre-installed, change wallpaper, etc.) | 11:20 |

See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization - Or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility | 11:21 |
| theGrgz | I've also heard of "Ubuntu Builder", how does that compare | 11:22 |
| dr_willis | a lot of the remastering tools broke with 12.04 . i dont even know what ones work anymore | 11:23 |

| cherfas | no lages | 12:13 |
| cherfas | any idea about the music that is stored on my computer? | 12:13 |
| wibbit33 | try that now :P | 12:13 |
| cherfas | yeah just hit play | 12:13 |
| wibbit33 | If it fixed it for flash maybe try playing the music in like VLC | 12:14 |
| wibbit33 | I have no idea... | 12:14 |
| cherfas | if it works then it's kind of strange no? :) | 12:14 |
| wibbit33 | Yeah that would make no sense lol | 12:14 |
| wibbit33 | I highly doubt banshee relies on flash lol | 12:14 |

| Broklynite | Hello | 12:15 |
| Broklynite | I could use some help with Samba, if anyone is available. | 12:15 |
| wibbit33 | If you want to be lazy perhaps try another media player like VLC and if that works | 12:15 |
| cherfas | maybe flash made the peaks on the cpu? and all the multi media was effected? | 12:15 |
| cherfas | i just love banshee..... :) | 12:16 |
| wibbit33 | if they were running at the same time then maybe | 12:16 |
| wibbit33 | if not I doubt banshee utlizes flash | 12:16 |
| cherfas | yeah but i don't think they were | 12:16 |
| wibbit33 | Does multimedia still lag with banshee? | 12:16 |
| cherfas | not yet | 12:17 |
| wibbit33 | it must utilize flash in some capacity then | 12:17 |
| cherfas | but sometimes it takes a few minutes | 12:17 |
| cherfas | yeah right now it lagged | 12:17 |
| wibbit33 | hmm | 12:17 |
| wibbit33 | I wonder if it's related to pulse audio | 12:17 |
| cherfas | maybe something with the codes? | 12:17 |
| wibbit33 | that could be it too | 12:17 |

| jrib | jalexandru: depends on what you actually want to do. Python is a great language though; #python for more help with it | 13:16 |
| gry | jalexandru, that's a language choice question; different languages have different applications. as this is an ubuntu support channel, i might suggest we discuss that in #ubuntu-offtopic | 13:16 |

| ubottu | cherfas: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 13:34 |
| kaspuksk | what is ubuntu , i dont understand :D | 13:34 |
| kaspuksk | ?? | 13:34 |
| VastGsm | ok great | 13:34 |
| __Eggman | plantroon: what's the issue? | 13:34 |
| VastGsm | Ill type it again then | 13:34 |
| VastGsm | I want to remain on the current distro 10.04 LTS but ONLY upgrade the kernel to 3.0.0-24 and NOT the distro ---------> is this the right command apt safe-upgrade ---> If NOT what is the correct way to upgrade the kernel to the latest but remain on the same distro? | 13:34 |
| gry | kaspuksk, read www.ubuntu.com ; or what is your native language? | 13:34 |
| plantroon | no issue, I just wanna know what version are those ubuntu drivers ... | 13:34 |
| zykotick9 | cherfas: FYI "reinstalling" things in gnu/linux almost NEVER solves anything | 13:34 |
| jrib | VastGsm: did you see what I told you? | 13:35 |
| kaspuksk | lithuanian | 13:35 |
| VastGsm | sorry no I missed that jrib sorry | 13:35 |
| jrib | VastGsm: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade will upgrade your packages (all of them; not just the kernel) and not change your release version | 13:35 |
| cherfas | ok so i'll tell you the problem maybe you'll have an idea | 13:35 |
| plantroon | if they are 12.4 version or if they got updated in the first service pack for ubuntu 12.04 | 13:35 |
| VastGsm | nice one dude :) | 13:35 |
| kaspuksk | ok gl for everyone :) | 13:35 |
| __Eggman | I'm not sure, are you getting two drivers listed under 'Additional Drivers'? | 13:36 |
| cherfas | the media in my computer gets laged for a second every 5 couple of minutes or so | 13:36 |
| cherfas | every couple* | 13:36 |

| antivirtel | Hello! | 13:37 |
| antivirtel | I'm planning to encrypt a disc with LUKS. I'm wondering if the aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 in 128 bits will provide me enough security today, or may I upgrade to 256 bits or other cipher? | 13:37 |
| plantroon | @__ currently I dont have ubuntu but another distro and I know that ubuntu drivers were working very well so I need to know the version to get them ... | 13:37 |
| cherfas | in flash, and also in playing music stored on my compter. i have a quad core processor. also, i checked system monitor and one of my cpus peaks when this happens | 13:37 |
| __Eggman | @plantroon what card? In my experience one of those does not get along very well with ubuntu (will break your install) | 13:38 |
| VastGsm | Hey jrib that done nothing dude | 13:39 |
| plantroon | I have an old ati card ... Radeon HD 3600.. but I just wanna know (if you have the drivers) if the version is 12.4 or 12.8 ?? | 13:39 |
| WarOfTheNerd | antivirtel, to be honest, there's no need for above 128-bit | 13:39 |
| VastGsm | 0 upgraded 0 newly installed 0 to remove and 0 upgraded | 13:39 |
| WarOfTheNerd | antivirtel, by the point someone really interested in stealing data comes along, they'll just torture you for the passphrase/key | 13:39 |
| MonkeyDust | antivirtel there's always the channel #security | 13:40 |
| __Eggman | plantroon: IIRC those are not supported anymore by ATI in linux, I'd suggest staying with the OSS drivers, YMMV though. | 13:40 |
| Guest99498 | I couldn't shrink a Vista partition when I initially set this box up, so ubuntu was only on a 7 gig partition. I've now finally gotten vista shrunk by 100 gigs, and I'm trying to make the ext4 partition bigger. I couldn't get the unallocated space next to the ext4, so I made the unallocated space ext4 and copied sda5 over to sda1 http://static.inky.ws/image/2681/image.jpg Can I leave it this way and just go fix grub? | 13:40 |
| antivirtel | WarOfTheNerd thank you... It will protect the illegal data from the police, to be honest :D | 13:41 |

| VastGsm | 0 upgraded 0 newly installed 0 to remove and 0 upgraded | 13:41 |
| jrib | VastGsm: that means your packages are up to date for the repositories you have. What kernel do you have installed and what did you expect? | 13:42 |
| antivirtel | WarOfTheNerd "they'll just torture you for the passphrase/key" :) maybe, but I'll probably suffer from injury than sit in a prison for a half life, or just pay a fortune for that data :) | 13:43 |
| plantroon | __Eggman: I said fglrx drivers from ubuntu 12.04.1 worked very well on my PC, I could play Portal 2, World of Warcraft and many good games on ubuntu with those drivers, but the problem I have is that I moved to another distro and dont remember the drivers version so I need to know what drivers does ubuntu install when clicking that additional drivers icon in system settings ... thats the only info I need :D | 13:43 |
| VastGsm | thats what I want to do dude, just upgrade the kernel but keep the distro version the same and not change it | 13:43 |
| jrib | VastGsm: ok, can you answer my question? | 13:43 |

| SolarAquarion | example would be the gnome packages | 13:48 |
| SinTaX98 | jrib, I am trying to build a kernel with more driver support for a tftp boot /fog environment. I have been looking for a way to do so, but the only way I can seem to find is qconf. Is there another (possibly better) way? | 13:48 |

| usr13 | Guest99498: You have write grub to MBR in order to boot. | 13:50 |
| Fodi69 | SolarAquarion: each distribution has its own versions of packages, so if you want to have the latest packages, you probably want to update your whole distribution (quantal is not the latest versuin) | 13:50 |
| SolarAquarion | Fodi69 what's the latest version? | 13:50 |
| usr13 | Guest99498: That first link is probably the one you need, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub | 13:50 |
| Fodi69 | SolarAquarion: sry it is the latest, i was wrong. | 13:50 |
| jrib | VastGsm: never mind, I see now. You can install one of the linux-image-server-lts-backport-* packages and the 3.0 kernel will be pulled in. For example: linux-image-server-lts-backport-oneiric | 13:51 |
| Guest99498 | usr13, I didn't lose it necessarily, but I copied sda5 over to a newly create sda1 (http://static.inky.ws/image/2681/image.jpg) which /etc/grub is the computer using? | 13:51 |

| bazhang | !notunity | Elvano | 14:05 |
| ubottu | Elvano: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 14:05 |

| linucks | gordonjcp, hmmm I thought I tried that, but which way did you go about disabling and re-enabling the wireless? | 14:12 |
| gordonjcp | ganster: you don't get dreamweaver for linux | 14:12 |
| gordonjcp | ganster: it might work in wine | 14:12 |
| ganster | bazhang, ok let me try | 14:12 |
| marcappuccino | it is not native dreamweaver only through wine maybe | 14:13 |
| gordonjcp | linucks: just from the nm-applet | 14:13 |
| marcappuccino | dualboot windows? | 14:13 |
| gordonjcp | ganster: tbh dreamweaver is a nuisance anyway | 14:13 |
| Elvano | best thing is to write html in gedit @ gangster | 14:13 |
| gordonjcp | yup | 14:13 |

| craigbass1976 | linucks, I've had trouble for some time waking up a laptop; when I do something like shut the lid at work (while I'm on the network there) and then cracking it open again at home. | 14:14 |
| gordonjcp | ganster: having done quite a bit of backend work on websites, I find the best way to deal with dreamweaver sites is to delete them completely and start from scratch ;-) | 14:14 |
| ganster | marcappuccino, , i don like wine isn't working fine with ubuntu | 14:14 |
| linucks | craigbass1976, hmm I see, have you had any issues like it only showing _some_ of the available networks? found any fixes? | 14:14 |
| corentin | marcappuccino: guess i'll just kill that stupid NM | 14:14 |
| craigbass1976 | gordonjcp, heh | 14:14 |
| marcappuccino | it depends what you run - i pesonally dont like wine, but if you want extra compatibility try crossover for linux | 14:15 |
| linucks | the thing is, this works on fedora, but not ubuntu | 14:15 |
| linucks | :/ | 14:15 |
| ganster | gordonjcp, why from the scratch is more preferable than dreamweaver | 14:15 |
| craigbass1976 | linucks, eventually I can get on. I see your fedora issue though... I tried 16 for a bit and didn't have this problem at all. | 14:16 |

| jrib | drPoo: cron's environment isn't the same as when you run it manually. Pastebin your script | 14:24 |
| craigbass1976 | marcappuccino, with a brush or pencil, click where you want one end of the line to be. Now hit the Shift key and click where you want the other end of the line to be. | 14:25 |

| drPoo | jrib, the script is fine. It had been working for a while. I guess I will not use crontab anymore. I will put it in /etc/init.d and use update-rc.d | 14:27 |

| drPoo | jrib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1171889/ | 14:29 |
| jrib | drPoo: a general issue with crontab is that, for example, your PATH is not the same; you could also try changing @reboot to some current time so you can better test without rebooting. Lastly, you could put something like /usr/bin/touch /tmp/script_runs to verify the script runs | 14:29 |

| LiDaR | Alpha-Omega, the updates are new versions if you have version 12.5.1 .. something needs fixed they release 12.5.2 ect. ect. | 15:31 |
| LiDaR | Alpha-Omega, non critical updates are tested to make sure they have less bugs before releasing to everyone | 15:32 |

| LiDaR | DarkAceLaptop, could be cryptic post your dmesg output to pastebin | 15:33 |
| mneptok | Alpha-Omega: no new versions are added to repos unless they address security vulnerabilities and cannot be backported. | 15:34 |
| LiDaR | Alpha-Omega, if there is a security issue .. the update comes faster if its just a new version .. there is no rush and they test more there is probably some explanation on ubuntu site somehwere what method used | 15:34 |
| Alpha-Omega | mneptok: ohh ok, so the new version of firefox, 14.0.1 most likely addresses a security vulnerability as well, not just new features | 15:35 |
| mneptok | Alpha-Omega: correct. you will have that version of Firefox, with some point releases to address backported fixes. | 15:35 |
| Alpha-Omega | alright, makes sense now, just was amazed where firefox was such a new version | 15:35 |

| LiDaR | Alpha-Omega, if your just a desktop user and adventurous you could always use testing/unstable but things break frequently | 15:37 |
| Alpha-Omega | one thing that should be fixed though in the Ubuntu minimal install is having the default suggested place of Grub to be installed be the drive which the install was done and root was installed, not sda when sdb is what was used for the install, had an issue with that yesterday | 15:37 |
| jrib | Alpha-Omega: I think firefox is somewhat of a special case: http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Ubuntu-will-now-track-Mozilla-updates-1386831.html | 15:37 |

| LiDaR | DarkAceLaptop, see the line PME# d1 d2 ect repeating .. thats your error message i bet | 15:39 |
| Alpha-Omega | jrib: yep, it seems that firefox will be updated with every new release, odd why they chose to do that, most likely because of the frequent updates and wide-spread usage of the browser I'm guessing | 15:39 |
| Lorra | n0l0v3, the two things are very different, in fact the virtual machine comprises some virtual hardware where your computer comprises physical (and possibly different) hardware. It might be that your installation media is corrupted, you could check it when you switch on your computer by choosing the appropriate option in the very first menu you get | 15:39 |

| DarkAceLaptop | LiDaR, really? I don't have a USB webcam | 15:46 |
| DarkAceLaptop | I have a webcam, but it's built-in | 15:46 |
| Lorra | n0l0v3, you may also check your media image before burning it, you need to download the md5 checksum along with the image and then using a program which computes md5 sums. On linux it commonly comes with your distro and having the checksum file and the image in the same directory you can run md5sum -c checksumsFile and see what it says. On Windows you need a program to compute md5 sums. | 15:46 |
| kdsmain | is there a JDK/JAVA support channel? | 15:47 |

| ganster | i like ubuntu but ubuntu doesn't likes me | 15:58 |
| Lorra | wildcard-ger, sure, you can install Windows first and Ubuntu after and when you install Ubuntu you edit your partitioning scheme to suit your needs. Do format the share partition with a filesystem readable by both OS's (e.g. NTFS) | 15:58 |
| motaka2 | Can anyone help me ? | 15:58 |
| LiDaR | motaka2: use the the alt install / text mode | 15:58 |
| ganster | motaka2, leave it for a while | 15:58 |
| motaka2 | LiDaR: How can I do that? ganster How much is the normal time , I think it is about 15 minutes | 15:59 |
| w_ | i can't get my laptop to suspend when i close the lid, anyone knows how? | 15:59 |
| LiDaR | motaka2: its a different iso to download | 16:00 |

| ganster | motaka2, if more than 15minutes its extraordinary that | 16:00 |
| motaka2 | LiDaR: ganster should I connect it to internet and try again ? | 16:01 |
| ganster | motaka2, are u upgrading or installing | 16:01 |
| Lorra | w_, have you checked the power saving settings? | 16:01 |
| LiDaR | motaka2: how did you get the installation media your using now ? | 16:01 |
| motaka2 | I am installing | 16:01 |
| wildcard-ger | Lorra, okay :) can i also write on the ntfs partition with ubuntu without problems ? im not sure but i think there were problems with writing to ntfs due to microsoft licensing ? | 16:01 |
| Lorra | w_, you should be able to choose the behaviour of the laptop when you close the lid | 16:01 |
| w_ | Lorra, yes | 16:01 |
| kdsmain | Lorra do I have to specify kdsmain on #java or something like that? Does the freenode thing have anything to do with my inability to join the #java channel? | 16:01 |

| motaka2 | ganster: this time just askin me the language and not the installetion type | 16:08 |
| Lorra | wildcard-ger, true, that might be a problem. You might install Windows on a larger parition, then install Ubuntu and install the gparted package and use it to reduce the Windows partition and create a brand new NTFS one | 16:08 |
| Lorra | kdsmain, yes, I'm on Freenode | 16:08 |

| lickalott | the main thing I need is to be able to adjust the interval at which the redirection happens. But if I can redirect the entire content of the large file to another (file.1) then "watch -n 1" file.1 that may work? | 17:05 |
| gasbakid | can someone help me with the libvirt message : Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': No such file or directory | 17:05 |
| lickalott | i'm open to suggestion | 17:05 |
| Kircle | If an ether cable doesn't have what category it is printed on the cable how might I find out which one it is? | 17:06 |
| SolarisB2y | Kircle: possibly you can derive some ideas from the speed they auto-negotiate too if it works? | 17:07 |
| Kircle | What do you mean by 'auto-negotiate'? | 17:08 |
| SolarisB2y | unless you set speed/duplex on a hard code - it autonegotiates | 17:08 |
| gordonjcp | Kircle: it's probably CAT5E | 17:08 |
| SolarisB2y | most likely | 17:08 |
| yatta | if I close lid of laptop suspend is activated and lock screen too but it seems that suspend freezes my screen after moving mouse how to fix this? | 17:08 |
| SolarisB2y | but it could be CAT6 | 17:08 |
| gordonjcp | Kircle: if it's about as thick as a pencil, CAT5E | 17:08 |
| SolarisB2y | its insulated | 17:09 |
| gordonjcp | Kircle: if it's about as thick as a Berol pen, CAT6 | 17:09 |
| yatta | i know my enlighs is bad | 17:09 |
| Kircle | I'll check it now thanks | 17:09 |
| SolarisB2y | thats an interesting method gordonjcp .. | 17:09 |
| lickalott | watch no workie | 17:09 |
| gordonjcp | SolarisB2y: CAT6 has a thick plastic separator up the inside | 17:09 |
| lickalott | seems like that is more geared for processes | 17:10 |
| drag0nius | does wondershaper put limits on lan speeds too? | 17:10 |
| drag0nius | or just wan? | 17:10 |
| dtcrshr | I need help in setting up ubuntu networking so locally (via iptables or something) all traffic to web servide (p 80) go redirected to my proxy server. Iv created the rules, changed the forwarding to 1 but didnt worked, is there a different way to use iptables under ubuntu? | 17:10 |
| SolarisB2y | biggest difference is the bandwidth and features etc for crosstalk etc but if thats a result of extra padding in the bundle - cool | 17:10 |
| Kircle | The ether cable I'm using now is cat5. But the newer cable seems slightly less thicker. Ow well. | 17:11 |

| Poindexter_ | TD check with your manufacturer. | 17:21 |
| marcappuccino | Is your drive SATA? | 17:21 |
| TDJACR | Yes SATA | 17:21 |
| linuxfan | none of them install rihgt | 17:21 |

| krababbel | TDJACR: are those internal drives, or usb3? | 17:23 |
| marcappuccino | @client go to settings > sounf and make sure the output is the correct one | 17:23 |
| Poindexter_ | USB | 17:23 |
| marcappuccino | *sound | 17:23 |
| TDJACR | krababbel: I know for sure my USB3 enclosure doesn't work with them, so I'm using standard SATA internal | 17:23 |
| krababbel | TDJACR: why doesn't it work? | 17:24 |
| krababbel | mine does | 17:24 |
| marcappuccino | SATA I II or III | 17:24 |
| yatta | linuxfan, so you have problem with installing 12.04 on old machine? | 17:24 |
| marcappuccino | ? | 17:24 |
| TDJACR | krababbel: The enclosure itself only supports up to 2 TB | 17:24 |
| usr13 | yatta: Your best bet is to back up your home and re-install a supported version, (I would suggest 10.04 or 12.04 (LTS). (Especially since you dont seem to be hevily into upgrading.) | 17:24 |
| TDJACR | (I was an idiot for overlooking that) | 17:24 |

| linuxfan | yes yatta cuase I think I have no internet | 17:25 |
| yatta | usr13, I have dual boot 9.04 and 12.04 and I use 12.04 | 17:25 |
| krababbel | I guess I am lucky having only 2TB | 17:25 |
| linuxfan | most new distros are web dependent | 17:25 |
| Poindexter_ | TD are you trying to mount these drives on a Linux box or a Windows box? | 17:25 |
| usr13 | yatta: I C | 17:25 |
| TDJACR | krababbel: Neither did I | 17:25 |
| usr13 | yatta: So just ditch 9.04 | 17:25 |
| yatta | usr13, also because of that boot time is slow | 17:25 |
| TDJACR | Poindexter_: I'm on a Linux box. Get the same errors with Ubuntu and Arch | 17:26 |
| yatta | so yes I amgoing to remove ubuntu 9.04 | 17:26 |
| ClientAlive | It seems I have all the alsa stuff and pulsaudio, etc, etc. I'm wondering if I shouldn't check my bios settings, as this is a relatively new build and the sound has never worked on it yet. | 17:26 |
| TDJACR | They mount fine and sound okay (no click of death) | 17:26 |
| TDJACR | I'm just wary of using them with thousands of reported errors | 17:26 |
| Poindexter_ | TD check to see if there is an upgrade for the BIOS and check the manufacturer. | 17:26 |
| WeThePeople | hi | 17:26 |
| krababbel | TDJACR: other than switching cables, try formatting and using the drive, you'd see if smart is right | 17:26 |
| ClientAlive | brb | 17:26 |
| linuxfan | i am running christian ubuntu edition every one!! 9.04 | 17:26 |
| usr13 | ClientAlive: Are you sure it's not muted or turned down and that you have working speakers plugged into an active port? | 17:27 |
| krababbel | TDJACR: fill them with something | 17:27 |
| TDJACR | I'm going to use dd and fill with random data. If it gets an IO error, I'll know | 17:27 |
| marcappuccino | format using the GUID partition table as it is more modern | 17:27 |
| yatta | can anyone tell me what's default of type of visualization in movie player? | 17:27 |
| krababbel | TDJACR: usually these things either break completely in a short time, or they are good for a long time | 17:27 |
| Poindexter_ | Krababbel, good point. But, I should hope that there is no DATA on the drives. Formatting is always good but consider the file type. | 17:27 |
| szal | [19:25:06] <linuxfan> yes yatta cuase I think I have no internet <- how are you here then? | 17:28 |
| marcappuccino | but remember to add a 1MB biosgrup flagged partition (you are not limited to 4 primary partitions) | 17:28 |

| TDJACR | krababbel: Poindexter_ They're empty. I have four drives currently in RAID-1 (two pair), and I'm about to make a 5-drive raid-6 array. I need to put all the files on the 3 TB drives, so they have to be reliable | 17:29 |
| GiantChip | how can i make it so the swapdrive partition is on from start up. | 17:29 |
| lickalott | trying now conradin | 17:29 |
| Poindexter_ | TD you never mentioned RAID. | 17:29 |
| Poindexter_ | That is a different story. | 17:29 |
| marcappuccino | @Giantchip it is already activated on startup | 17:29 |
| amaar | hi | 17:29 |
| GiantChip | marcappuccino> no it's not. I have to manually turn it on after every restart | 17:30 |
| Poindexter_ | RAID with USB is not a great idea. | 17:30 |
| Poindexter_ | Unless you have a USB HUB internal. | 17:30 |
| marcappuccino | @Giantchip go on gparted and look at your swap partition it should have a lock symbol next to it if not right click > swapon | 17:30 |
| linuxfan | thinking of dual booting windows and linux | 17:31 |
| TDJACR | Poindexter_: The drives with the SMART errors are neither in RAID or on USB | 17:31 |
| linuxfan | unless I can get internet first | 17:31 |
| TDJACR | Poindexter_: They are connected SATA, internal, and aren | 17:31 |
| TDJACR | t in an arry | 17:31 |
| Poindexter_ | The higher the frequency of th4e CPU and any device means critical location of the physical device. | 17:31 |

| ActionParsnip | JessicaW: sudo modprobe -r name | 17:49 |
| ActionParsnip | JessicaW: the man pae tells you, there's nothing to 'work out' | 17:49 |
| belgianguy | anyone know if the OpenJDK is vulnerable to the 0-day Java exploit? | 17:50 |
| JessicaW | ActionParsnip: thanks. do I need to stop the services associated with it first? | 17:50 |
| LiDaR | johan_1337: updates package list from server .. then updates the packages on your computer | 17:50 |
| k1l_ | johan_1337: it updates your system. | 17:50 |
| marcappuccino | it is updating the packages you have then upgrading your software johan | 17:50 |
| Newb100 | ActionParsnip, I loaded putty on my machine and the host machine. I'm unclear what to after that point. | 17:50 |
| k1l_ | johan_1337: come back when you have you not-mobil connection set up | 17:50 |
| EmoSpice | andrewx: echo "this is a test" | xclip -i -selection clipboard | 17:50 |
| EmoSpice | works just fine for me | 17:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Newb100: can the system connect to itself via ssh? | 17:50 |
| johan_1337 | ok | 17:50 |
| johan_1337 | bye | 17:50 |
| Newb100 | ActionParsnip, will try | 17:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Newb100: isn't that an obvious thing to try first? | 17:51 |
| Newb100 | ActionParsnip, should it make a difference if I'm running it in a virtual machine | 17:51 |
| JessicaW | ActionParsnip: I'm not just trying to work out how to remove it. I'm trying to figure out why it stopped working in the first place and fix it. modprobe cifs > FATAL: Module .ignore_install not found. | 17:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Newb100: you may need to set the network to bridged, so it appears on the LAN, otherwise you will need to setup extra stuff | 17:51 |
| ActionParsnip | JessicaW: what does the output mean? | 17:52 |
| zetheroo | with rsync, if a file is deleted from the source location will it be deleted from the destination ? | 17:52 |
| LiDaR | i cant get below 200 mb of ram usage im stuck at 214 | 17:52 |
| JessicaW | ActionParsnip: No clue. I've googled it several different ways and no one seems to know what it is. | 17:52 |
| ActionParsnip | zetheroo: no,its just copied over if there is a newer version on the source | 17:52 |

| mrkent | marcappuccino, I just switched from mint to archlinux, but I like the default font in mint | 17:53 |
| marcappuccino | Increase swappiness - google it | 17:53 |
| EmoSpice | andrewx: what was it? | 17:53 |
| ActionParsnip | JessicaW: its a network setting in virtualbox, you'll need to power off the vm to change it. Can the system ssh to itself? | 17:53 |
| zetheroo | ActionParsnip: is there any way to have it so that if a file is removed from the source it is also removed from the destination? | 17:53 |
| ActionParsnip | andrewx: sweet | 17:53 |
| marcappuccino | I beleive it still is ubuntu mono | 17:53 |
| JessicaW | ActionParsnip: it's not a virtual machine. It's a physical server | 17:53 |
| ActionParsnip | zetheroo: there is an option for that, i'm unsure if it's in the GUI. The GUI does give the command it is running so you can copy it and modify | 17:54 |
| JessicaW | ActionParsnip: and yes. it can ssh to itself. | 17:54 |
| ActionParsnip | JessicaW: can the client ping the server? | 17:54 |
| andrewx | Proper syntax is: printf '%s' "$cmd" | xclip -i -selection clipboard | 17:54 |
| andrewx | that works perfectly! | 17:54 |
| JessicaW | ActionParsnip: yes | 17:54 |
| JessicaW | ActionParsnip: and I can mount the shares from any of my other linux boxes. | 17:54 |
| ActionParsnip | JessicaW: try: ssh -vv username@server | 17:55 |
| JessicaW | ActionParsnip: we do not have ssh enabled on that windows machine. | 17:56 |
| belgianguy | anyone know if the OpenJDK is vulnerable to the 0-day Java exploit? | 17:56 |

| JessicaW | ActionParsnip: yes. | 17:58 |
| marcappuccino | @jasonz how is there an error message | 17:58 |

| ubottu | bugzilla.redhat.com bug 852051 in vulnerability "CVE-2012-4681 OpenJDK: Java 7 0day vulnerability" [Urgent,New] | 17:58 |
| HAMKoot | belgianguy, no, OpenJDK is not affected, AFAIK. | 17:58 |
| ActionParsnip | JessicaW: ok then use the logs and see what is going on | 17:58 |
| iunruh | ActionParsnip: it was for dramatic effect! | 17:58 |
| ActionParsnip | JessicaW: I'd switch the networking to bridged | 17:58 |
| ActionParsnip | iunruh: it didn't work | 17:58 |
| trism | JessicaW: do you have a .conf file with an install cifs line in /etc/modprobe.d/ ? I noticed some random superuser question with something like: install cifs /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install cifs; and I notice if you typo --ignore-install as .ignore-install it gives the error from your pastebin | 17:59 |
| belgianguy | thx JessicaW, that's what I needed to see | 17:59 |
| javier_nicolas | a question for developers of webapps is here? it's about a "bug", or not, that is my question | 17:59 |
| JessicaW | trism: checking | 18:00 |
| HAMKoot | JessicaW, "IcedTea-Web using OpenJDK7 blocks this exploit by not allowing applet to change the SecurityManager (which is allowed in Oracle and IBM Java plugin) " so not affected | 18:00 |
| baizon | HAMKoot: thanks for the info, didnt know that | 18:01 |
| baizon | and sorry for the wrong information | 18:01 |
| JessicaW | ditto | 18:01 |
| JessicaW | trism: install cifs /sbin/modprobe .ignore-install cifs | 18:01 |

| javier_nicolas | can I make a question from Webapps here? | 18:03 |
| trism | JessicaW: this is the superuser question, looks like a workaround, but it has no answers: http://superuser.com/questions/459689/how-to-disable-opportunity-locking-on-red-hat-5-centos-5 (not really sure what it is for, I don't actually have a cifs .conf file here, just made one for testing) | 18:03 |
| baizon | jotajota: wrong channel for a windows app =) | 18:03 |
| LiDaR | mirc is a windows program use xchat .. or something linux! | 18:03 |

| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 18:06 |
| MonkeyDust | <3 irssi | 18:07 |

| brian__ | whats the terminal command that tells you what version of operating system your using | 18:17 |
| EmoSpice | brian__: cat /etc/motd will give you some distro specific stuff, but if it's stuff like kernal etc that you want, use uname. | 18:17 |

| WeThePeople | brian__, see #programming | 18:18 |
| WeThePeople | ## | 18:18 |

| brian__ | EmoSpice: Thats the one i was looking | 18:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Newb100: http://ait.web.psi.ch/services/ssh/images/putty-xf.gif shows how you can enable X forwarding in putty | 18:19 |
| Newb100 | yks | 18:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Newb100: running xming and that option before starting the connection, you can run GUI apps | 18:21 |

| tziemann_ | yes | 18:22 |
| tziemann_ | anything is possible with Linux | 18:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Newb100: its fun to run GUI sound apps and the sound willcome from the server but be controllable by the client system :) | 18:22 |
| EmoSpice | or just use mpd :) | 18:23 |
| ActionParsnip | EmoSpice: x forwarding is easier to setup :) | 18:23 |
| krychu | tziemann_: but is there any API or this would rather mean changing the sources of the HUD? | 18:23 |
| EmoSpice | ActionParsnip: then you've been setting up mpd wrong :P | 18:23 |
| tziemann_ | krychu: Yes there is 3 ways actually | 18:24 |
| ActionParsnip | EmoSpice: the openssh-server is all you need to install, mpd needs tweaking and such | 18:24 |
| EmoSpice | ActionParsnip: No more than any other media client. Irregardless, I don't want to start a flame war :P | 18:24 |

| pseudo | hi guys, I am having problems with ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop - my native resolution is 1366x768, but xrandr is reporting 1024x768 as my resolution - I am having trouble tracing the source of this issue, could I get a nudge in the right dirrection? | 18:47 |

| dr_willis | download widgit panel? | 18:48 |
| k1l_ | johan_1337: im not familiar with the kde stuff. but i dont think sudo will be a good idea on gui | 18:49 |
| === zz_diddledan is now known as diddledan | ||
| dr_willis | oh kde.. why do you need to run it as root? | 18:49 |
| johan_1337 | the panel you download widget in | 18:49 |
| k1l_ | but im sure, if you decribe your problem with errormessages etc some kde guy will jump in | 18:49 |
| johan_1337 | dr willis | 18:49 |
| johan_1337 | ok | 18:49 |
| jtannenbaum | what should I reformat my new external to, ext4? | 18:49 |
| jtannenbaum | it'll be for music, movies, etc | 18:49 |
| dr_willis | jtannenbaum: depends on your needs and ussage. | 18:49 |
| marcappuccino | yes - it is the most modern | 18:49 |
| jtannenbaum | just music and movies basically | 18:50 |
| jtannenbaum | 1TB | 18:50 |
| dr_willis | jtannenbaum: linux only system to access it? | 18:50 |
| k1l_ | jtannenbaum: ext4 is a good choice if its never gonna come to a windows pc | 18:50 |
| belgianguy | NTFS if using both Windows and Linux to access it | 18:50 |
| jtannenbaum | I might want to connect it to a windows 7 laptop but if the difference is really that great | 18:50 |
| johan_1337 | ext4 format is the fastest for copy files to? | 18:50 |
| marcappuccino | you can install apps for windows to recognise ext partitions | 18:50 |
| jtannenbaum | oh really then ext4 it is | 18:50 |
| marcappuccino | ext2 is the fastest but not journaled | 18:51 |
| jtannenbaum | should i reformat the partition or the entire drive | 18:51 |
| SolarisB2y | its fast cause its not journaled afaik =) | 18:51 |
| k1l_ | jtannenbaum: you cant access ext* from windows (that easy) | 18:51 |
| dr_willis | jtannenbaum: you have 2 partitions? | 18:51 |
| soman | Trying to run gedit (sudo gedit) and get an error: gedit: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpangocairo-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: cairo_ft_font_options_substitute What is the reason? | 18:51 |
| Newb100 | ActionParsnip, Yep x11 works but vert very slow? | 18:51 |
| jtannenbaum | no, it's new, just one 1TB partition | 18:51 |
| jtannenbaum | currently NTFS | 18:51 |
| k1l_ | soman: dont run sudo gedit :X | 18:51 |
| dr_willis | som use gksudo for gui apps... | 18:51 |
| jtannenbaum | soman: gksu not sudo | 18:51 |
| k1l_ | soman: you will break your rights from the files you open with that | 18:52 |
| jtannenbaum | ext2 is the fastest but what is journaling | 18:52 |
| k1l_ | jtannenbaum: keep it with ntfs then | 18:52 |
| dr_willis | jtannenbaum: you can keep it ntfs if you wanted.. it wont matter much. and ext2 is not always the 'fastest' | 18:52 |
| jtannenbaum | alright sounds good | 18:52 |
| jtannenbaum | oops, "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1" | 18:53 |
| soman | k1l_: with gksudo terminal stays some seconds and command is returned with no run applicatiob... | 18:53 |
| Newb100 | Hoe to view gedit through SSH from ubuntu comand line to ubuntu | 18:53 |
| Boffy | i think NTFS will become fragmented | 18:54 |
| dr_willis | Newb100: enable ssh x forwarding | 18:54 |
| SolarisB2y | Newb100: possibly by forwarding xX | 18:54 |
| SolarisB2y | ssh -X Newb100 | 18:54 |
| dr_willis | !ssh | 18:54 |
| ubottu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 18:54 |
| LiDaR | Newb100: gedit is just s simple text editor .. if that is all you need just use nano | 18:54 |
| marcappuccino | ntfs is not very stable with ubuntu nor is (ext)fat | 18:54 |
| k1l_ | marcappuccino: ntfs is stbale enough | 18:54 |
| SolarisB2y | its stable for me | 18:54 |
| marcappuccino | well, worse than ext1-4 | 18:55 |
| dr_willis | ntfs-3g seems to work quite well | 18:55 |
| SolarisB2y | naturally | 18:55 |
| k1l_ | marcappuccino: and to install hackish driver stuff on every windows machine you put that drive is not a solution imho | 18:55 |
| Newb100 | Why is so much faster ssh -x from an ubuntu to an ubuntu and so slow windows to ubuntu? | 18:55 |
| jtannenbaum | I reformatted it to NTFS and it's still not mounting | 18:55 |
| johan_1337 | now i am formating my usb drive to ext2, something baad with that? | 18:55 |
| marcappuccino | of course, but is you must use windows, then that is the way to access ext drives | 18:55 |
| dr_willis | Newb100: -x is VERY different then -X for ssh | 18:56 |
| SolarisB2y | Newb100: thats disabling forwarding | 18:56 |
| SolarisB2y | Newb100: you want to enable it | 18:56 |
| SolarisB2y | Newb100: -X (capital) | 18:56 |
| Kartagis | why can't I get ccsm when I search for it? | 18:56 |
| Newb100 | I meant -X | 18:56 |
| marcappuccino | ext 2 is besster for usb drives as it does not write with journals as much and preserves the lifespan | 18:56 |
| SolarisB2y | thats not doing anything that will make it faster | 18:56 |
| Newb100 | Why is so much faster ssh -X from an ubuntu to an ubuntu and so slow windows to ubuntu? | 18:56 |
| dr_willis | !ccsm | 18:56 |
| ubottu | To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' (or 'simple-ccsm' for pre-Oneiric). If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz | 18:56 |
| SolarisB2y | Newb100: use -vvv if your interested it's likely a fluke | 18:57 |
| marcappuccino | try launching 'gksudo ccsm' from termiinal | 18:57 |

| dr_willis | Newb100: go to xming homepage, download, install, run.. check its docs | 18:58 |
| SolarisB2y | sorry for offtopic question - is there a listing of TZ data in the format that the linux text files expects them? like on wikipedia or such? Example Asia/Jakarta - i'd just like an exhaustive listing of all of them if possible | 18:58 |
| marcappuccino | ext2 does not use journalling - therefore does not perform extra writes that ext3/4 would otherwise do | 18:59 |
| marcappuccino | ...so it is faster | 18:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Newb100: try enabling compression | 18:59 |

| jtannenbaum | ext4 | 19:11 |
| ActionParsnip | EnderTheThird: have you tried the boot option: nomodeset | 19:11 |
| cristian_c | Hi | 19:11 |
| thierry__ | Please, i am trying to port ubuntu-core on my Pandaboard B1 , i have installed Xorg and openBox, for now, i'm using a serial terminal to get output: my first question is, when i launsh startx , nothing happens , normally the terminal should change? is it a miciom restricion? | 19:11 |
| ActionParsnip | jtannenbaum: sudo mkdir /media/sdb1; sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 | 19:12 |
| thierry__ | second question : what packages should i add to get the output via HDMI? | 19:12 |
| EnderTheThird | ActionParsnip: I can do that now. brb. | 19:12 |
| jtannenbaum | ActionParsnip: great, thanks | 19:12 |
| jtannenbaum | how can I make it do that every time | 19:12 |
| ActionParsnip | jtannenbaum: did it mount? | 19:13 |
| jtannenbaum | yes | 19:13 |
| ActionParsnip | jtannenbaum: run: sudo blkid | grep sdb1 | 19:13 |
| ActionParsnip | jtannenbaum: you can then use the UUID and add it to /etc/fstab and the option will be used every time | 19:13 |
| Alpha-Omega | alright, nm-applet doesn't show up on tint2 but when I randomly click on where it should be, it comes up and I select my network and nothing happens | 19:13 |
| jtannenbaum | /dev/sdb1: LABEL="ace" UUID="..." TYPE="ext4" | 19:13 |
| jtannenbaum | yea I figured.. what's the exact thing I should add I can never remember | 19:14 |
| cristian_c | I'm using lostirc, and I would change the quit message. I've looked for in the lostirc hidden folder of my Home directory and I've found a file called events.conf. There are these lines in this file: quit = 15-- 00%1 16 has quit 15( 09%2 15) quit2 = 15-- 00%1 16 has quit, but I don't think it is the right file | 19:14 |
| EnderTheThird | ActionParsnip: No dice. Just getting a black screen. Trying to ctrl+alt+f1 to a terminal, but no luck. | 19:14 |
| jtannenbaum | oh duh I bet it's because there's already an fstab entry for /etc/sdb1 | 19:15 |
| cristian_c | How can I change my personal quit message? What's the right file to edit? | 19:15 |
| cristian_c | Any ideas? | 19:15 |
| jtannenbaum | maybe I should just comment that out | 19:15 |
| ActionParsnip | EnderTheThird: did you try the safe vga boot option? | 19:15 |
| ActionParsnip | jtannenbaum: yes, then I suggest you reboot and it should be ok | 19:15 |
| WeThePeople | cristian_c, use xchat ;p | 19:15 |
| ActionParsnip | cristian_c: in't it: /quit some text here | 19:16 |
| jtannenbaum | "Free space: 870.1 GB" :I | 19:16 |
| cristian_c | WeThePeople, I'm using Lubuntu, and lostirc is a lightweight irc client | 19:16 |
| jtannenbaum | does journalling really use like 100 GB or is that just WD screwing with me | 19:16 |
| cristian_c | ActionParsnip, I don't understand?§ Can you repeat? :) | 19:16 |
| ActionParsnip | jtannenbaum: 5% I believe, you can use tune2fs to change it | 19:17 |
| EnderTheThird | ActionParsnip: nvm, I forgot the space before nomodeset when changing the boot options | 19:17 |
| EnderTheThird | ActionParsnip: Now I can get to a terminal. I'll see if I can get it to show me a GUI with the custom xorg.conf now. | 19:17 |
| ActionParsnip | cristian_c: the /quitirc command can be tailed with some text, its pretty worthless tbh | 19:17 |
| Teduardo | Is there a MySQL 5.6 pkg for Ubuntu 12.04? | 19:18 |
| ActionParsnip | EnderTheThird: you can use: Xorg -configure to make a skeleton xorg.conf file you can copy to /etc/X11 | 19:18 |
| jtannenbaum | is journalling good or bad for a drive that will have torrent data on it | 19:18 |
| ActionParsnip | jtannenbaum: its probably not needed if its just user data | 19:19 |
| jtannenbaum | so maybe I should just use ext2 | 19:19 |
| ActionParsnip | jtannenbaum: that's an option too | 19:19 |
| cristian_c | ActionParsnip, it tells me: 'QUITIRC: Unknown command' | 19:19 |

| Jordan_U | krababbel: It's the shell that's writing to the file when you use '>', so what you're doing when you run "sudo echo foo > bar" is you're telling the shell (which is running as your user) to run "sudo echo foo" (run "echo foo" as root) and redirect the output of that to the file "bar". If the shell doesn't have permission to write to bar, running echo as root won't change that. With "echo foo | sudo tee bar" you're telling the ... | 20:06 |
| Jordan_U | ... shell to run "echo foo" and pipe its output to "sudo tee bar" and since it's tee that's actually writing to the file, and you've run tee as root via sudo, things actually work :) | 20:06 |

| dr_willis | !Java | 20:29 |
| ubottu | To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 20:29 |
| guntbert | shanecowherd: yes, try sudo rm ..... | 20:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Alpha-Omega: so cheese ran with gksudo woks ok? | 20:29 |

| adam__ | ActionPartnership: i see windows 7 as an option without pushing anything, but when i select windows 7, it goes to a black screen for a moment and then back to the boot loader | 20:30 |
| WeThePeople | actionparsnip, what would a sudo apt-get purge updates do? | 20:30 |

| ki4ro_ | marcappuccino: Thanks! | 20:30 |
| ActionParsnip | WeThePeople: not seen that command, don't think it'll work | 20:30 |
| marcappuccino | @alpha try running gksudo instead of sudo with applicatons | 20:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Alpha-Omega: use gksudo for GUI apps | 20:31 |
| marcappuccino | ki4ro :) | 20:31 |
| powerplay | dr_willis: so that when i do the "ls" command I want my directories to be in blue, other files to be red etc | 20:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Alpha-Omega: what is the make and model of the system? | 20:31 |
| ActionParsnip | powerplay: that's default in ubuntu | 20:31 |
| Alpha-Omega | ActionParsnip: Thinkpad T400 | 20:31 |

| ubottu | marcappuccino: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 20:31 |
| trijntje | ActionParsnip: thanks! I think I'll also leave ICEauthority out | 20:31 |
| dr_willis | powerplay: that'd be an alias. | 20:31 |
| ActionParsnip | powerplay: try running: source ~/.bashrc | 20:31 |
| powerplay | ActionParsnip: that wierd because right now everything is listen in same white color as of now | 20:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Alpha-Omega: and what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 20:32 |
| ActionParsnip | powerplay: try the command I gave | 20:32 |

| powerplay | dr_willis: got it working many thanks | 20:33 |
| ActionParsnip | powerplay: it runs the commands that configure the shell properly, you don't have a ~/.profile file | 20:33 |
| EnderTheThird | I got my 2560x1440 monitor working as described here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=67d2dbdf3fb9053b052eb7b1bfc1c817&p=12161201#post12161201) but now my mouse indicator arrow seems to be for the wrong resolution. It looks stretched like 1920x1080 stretched on the monitor, but the aspect ratio is normal when hovering over a window edge to a different indicator/icon. Any ideas what might cause this? | 20:33 |
| ActionParsnip | powerplay: run: sudo cp /root/.profile $HOME; sudo chown $USER:$USER ~/.profile and it will be fine | 20:34 |
| EnderTheThird | xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/THPZ5GsP | 20:34 |

| wizAmit | can anyone plz tell me how to install glade-3 and dependencies in ubuntu through terminal | 20:34 |
| powerplay | ActionParsnip: awseome, and what do i do if i want to change up the colors? | 20:34 |
| Kihokki | ActionParsnip, Unable to boot still. Problem is with x which says that monitors are not detected. | 20:35 |

| marcappuccino | when istalling 'quickly', does that not ship with glade-3? | 20:35 |
| EnderTheThird | marcappucino: This is a fresh install. My only change is to xorg.conf because Ubuntu wouldn't boot without it (doesn't get the correct EDID info from my monitor, apparently). | 20:35 |
| marcappuccino | sudo apt-get build-dep glade | 20:35 |
| ActionParsnip | powerplay: not sure of the actual colour change but the default bash ones are used | 20:35 |
| powerplay | ActionParsnip: alright thanks a lot for your help again!!! | 20:36 |
| marcappuccino | Enterthethird - does your monitor have any other conections - dvi, hdmi? | 20:36 |
| EnderTheThird | marcappuccino: Just DVI. It's a cheap one from Korea :-) | 20:36 |
| adam__ | okay, didn't work, same thing happened. i bot up, windows 7 is an option, i select windows 7, it goes to a black screen for a moment, and then back to the boot loader | 20:36 |

| Alpha-Omega | ActionParsnip: ok, did it | 20:39 |
| marcappuccino | look at a tutorial i cant recite the commands but you must use the cvt command somewhere... sorry | 20:40 |
| praetorian` | i have some kind of problem here i think. i have installed windows 7 on my notebook -500gb hdd. i deleted all partitions, created a 150gb partition and installed win7 to it so nowi have 350gb unused space. now i want to install ubuntu and it detects that i have win 7 installed, but it only gives me option to overwrite win7 or to do "something other" but there is no option to install it beside windows 7 | 20:40 |
| Kihokki | What can I do? Xorg server says: Fatal error, no screens found and linux boots into terminal | 20:40 |
| EnderTheThird | marcappuccino: I'm looking at it, but I'm not really sure what to change. Everything else displays fine except for the default mouse arrow | 20:41 |
| K350 | Is there any widget/app that shows CPU usage - as a peek - on the desktop (not the panel) ? | 20:42 |
| Alpha-Omega | ActionParsnip: why'd I modprobe though? | 20:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Alpha-Omega: its te driver for the device, is cheese any better? | 20:42 |

| guntbert | !backtrack | johan_1337 | 20:45 |
| ubottu | johan_1337: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information.

| designbybeck | so if i downloaded a .zip file with a bunch of .vmdk stuff in them, they will not work in VIrtualBox? | 20:50 |
| ActionParsnip | designbybeck: i'd ask in #vbox | 20:50 |
| designbybeck | This was for some contest I'm helping out with and I think they wanted you to run it in windows on Vmware | 20:50 |
| marcappuccino | it is compatible with virtual box yes | 20:50 |
| designbybeck | but I use Ubuntu and VirtualBox | 20:50 |

| Jordan_U | volvagiatumescen: What problem are you having exactly? | 21:09 |
| loganrun | how do I configure samba to start at boot, or is this the default | 21:09 |
| volvagiatumescen | it's telling me problems while adding files to the project, details insufficient permissions to read the following files | 21:10 |
| Kihokki | I'm making an emergency backup from my system so it would be nice to know if file permissions are copied in addition? | 21:10 |
| loganrun | does anyone have any idea how to set daemons to run on boot on Ubuntu, I used chkconfig smbd on for Fedora | 21:11 |
| auronandace | !upstart | loganrun | 21:11 |
| ubottu | loganrun: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 21:11 |
| marcappuccino | !python | 21:12 |
| ubottu | python is a popular Object Oriented scripting language included in Ubuntu. For more on Python please see http://www.python.org/ or #python | 21:12 |
| ActionParsnip | volvagiatumescen: do you have libk3b6-extracodecs installed? | 21:12 |
| marcappuccino | can ubottu give me any ubuntu defenition? | 21:12 |
| marcappuccino | !unity | 21:12 |
| ubottu | Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity | 21:12 |

| Vert | Anyone? Can I reload my mouse without restarting X? My mosue has frozen on a closed hand icon and I can't click or scroll (but I can move it) | 21:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Vert: try unloading psmouse and reload it | 21:14 |
| marcappuccino | try ctrl + alt + backspace | 21:14 |
| marcappuccino | oh wait | 21:14 |
| volvagiatumescen | ActionParsnip, checking | 21:14 |
| marcappuccino | dont do that | 21:14 |
| loganrun | auronandace, it just says that upstart is event driven replacement, but says nothing about how to do what I am asking | 21:14 |
| volvagiatumescen | thanks ActionParsnip | 21:15 |
| Vert | ActionParsnip: running `sudo modprobe -r psmouse` or `sudo rmmod psmouse` followed by reloading have no effect, and the mouse is the same even when I havent reloaded the module. | 21:15 |
| jrib | loganrun: pretty sure samba starts at boot | 21:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Vert: use modprobe, it sorts of module deps | 21:16 |
| loganrun | jrib: hopefully, I just installed it and it didn't look like it was running, but perhaps it will at boot | 21:16 |
| marcappuccino | !modprobe | 21:17 |
| Vert | ActionParsnip: How do you mean? | 21:17 |
| marcappuccino | can anyone give me a defenition of the modprobe command | 21:17 |
| jrib | loganrun: hmm | 21:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Vert: if other modules depend on others, modprobe sorts it out rmmod doesn't do stuff like that | 21:17 |
| marcappuccino | ? ^^^^ | 21:18 |
| Vert | Well, modprobe -r psmouse doesn't help ether? | 21:18 |
| jrib | loganrun: it should probably start right after you install it too (assuming you used the repositories). See: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/samba-fileserver.html | 21:18 |
| loganrun | there must be a tool to manage what daemons start at boot though | 21:19 |
| marcappuccino | startup applications? | 21:19 |
| marcappuccino | can anyone give me a defenition of the modprobe command? | 21:20 |
| daninoz | hi, i'm using gnome shell and i want to move the notification area to the top bar, how can I do that ? | 21:20 |
| jrib | loganrun: not upstart ones; you must edit /etc/init/. For the older sysv-rc style scripts you can sysv-rc-conf | 21:20 |
| jrib | marcappuccino: whatis modprobe in your shell | 21:21 |
| ActionParsnip | marcappuccino: try: man modprobe | 21:21 |
| marcappuccino | you can replace the default notifications daemon with ubuntu's notify-osd somehow -google it (limi | 21:21 |

| powerplay | hey everyone i am trying to figure out how colors work in terminakl and cant get it figured out | 21:27 |
| Newb101 | its got something to with network settings | 21:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Newb101: have you asked in #vbox too | 21:28 |
| marcappuccino | Have you installed guest additions? | 21:28 |
| powerplay | in my bashrc file there is an "alias ls='ls --color=autto' which means that when i do "ls" the directories should be in blue | 21:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Newb101: maybe its a known issue | 21:28 |
| powerplay | but when i do "ls" the lisings are not color coded, but when i run "ls" as sudo then they are color coded | 21:28 |
| Newb101 | ActionParsnip, Good point, mrcapacciono yes | 21:28 |
| ActionParsnip | powerplay: what if you run: source ~/.bashrc | 21:28 |
| powerplay | ActionParsnip: ya but i have to run that everytime i open up the terminal | 21:29 |
| ActionParsnip | powerplay: then run: sudo cd /root/.profile $HOME; sudo chown $USER:$USER ~/.profile | 21:29 |

| marcappuccino | hello! | 21:30 |
| ActionParsnip | scotsman: hello | 21:30 |

| designbybeck | and ActionParsnip and marcappuccino I got the VBox working just fine thanks! | 21:32 |
| marcappuccino | :) | 21:32 |
| ActionParsnip | designbybeck: blackbuntu isn't supported here | 21:33 |
| marcappuccino | !blackbuntu | 21:33 |
| designbybeck | K | 21:33 |
| designbybeck | was just asking since it was based on Ubuntu | 21:33 |
| ActionParsnip | designbybeck: yes, the ubuntu based distros aren't supported here | 21:34 |
| designbybeck | ;) | 21:35 |
| ActionParsnip | designbybeck: only releases by canonical are supoprted here | 21:35 |
| marcappuccino | what about xubuntu or lubuntu? | 21:35 |
| designbybeck | well something else that isn't supported here is my hotwater heater I have to go wait on the repair guy for! Later guys! | 21:35 |
| ActionParsnip | marcappuccino: they are canonical releases so are supported here, they also have their own channels too | 21:35 |
| marcappuccino | oh ok | 21:35 |
| ActionParsnip | designbybeck: similarly, ubuntu is based in debian, but if you ask for support for ubuntu there, you will be pointed here | 21:36 |

| adam_ | okay, im back, and i still can't boot windows from the grub bot loader | 21:36 |
| adam_ | boot* | 21:36 |
| marcappuccino | lol #xubuntu is so dead | 21:37 |
| adam_ | can anyone help me? | 21:38 |
| oskar- | is not xubuntu just ubuntu with another set of packages installed by default? | 21:38 |
| gordonjcp | oskar-: pretty much | 21:39 |
| t3d3um | yes it mainly is. You can even mix the flavors on one system | 21:39 |
| marcappuccino | yes - primarily the xfce desktop (configured) | 21:39 |
| marcappuccino | adam what is your problem | 21:39 |
| gordonjcp | adam_: look up chain loading | 21:39 |
| t3d3um | you can first install ubuntu, then install the xubuntu-packages without any problem | 21:39 |
| ActionParsnip | or just install xfce4 for the minimal xfce session | 21:39 |
| Jordan_U | !bootinfo | adam_ | 21:39 |
| ubottu | adam_: Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). | 21:39 |
| Hereisanotherlie | after adding my subdomain info to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled I ran "sudo a2ensite subdomain.example.com" and I am getting "ERROR: Site subdomain.example.com does not exist!" | 21:40 |
| Hereisanotherlie | I think I might be skipping a step or two along the way I just can't figure out what that might be | 21:40 |
| oskar- | Hereisanotherlie: add it to the sites-available directory. then a2ensite creates the symlink in sites-enabled | 21:40 |
| Guest78819 | Hi, someone knows how to boot SAMSUNG 530U from a usb? | 21:41 |
| marcappuccino | Unetbootin. Or if you mean to boot the installation just install straight to the usb | 21:41 |
| Hereisanotherlie | oskar-: do I add it to sites-available/default ? | 21:41 |
| Jordan_U | adam_: The RESULTS.txt from boot info script would be very helpful in diagnosing your problem. | 21:42 |
| marcappuccino | or use the dd command. dd if = path/to/iso of = dev/(drive) | 21:42 |
| Hereisanotherlie | oskar-: oh I actually did add it there already, I was working on this last night and forgot about that | 21:42 |
| oskar- | Hereisanotherlie: add the definitions of a apache virtual host to a new file in /etc/apache2/sites-available, e.g. filename "mysite". then "a2ensite mysite" create a symlink sites-enabled/mysite pointing to ../sites-available/mysite | 21:43 |

| z_ | hi everyone. ubuntu beginner, im in the process of building the android build enviornment but my folders are all being blocked, im getting permission denied, tried changing permissions, tried nautilus but nothing. | 21:45 |
| marcappuccino | gksudo nautilus | 21:45 |
| daninoz | trism, thanks, that work great | 21:45 |
| marcappuccino | z_ ^^ | 21:45 |
| z_ | ive tried gksudo nautilus it extracts and views with all perms in that but in the regular browser shows an X or Lock image | 21:46 |
| z_ | ive tried sudo chmod +rwx /home | 21:47 |
| marcappuccino | is this in your home folder or / | 21:47 |
| === cesar is now known as Guest22970 | ||
| z_ | well the entire /home directory | 21:47 |
| marcappuccino | did you set up encryption on the ubuntu installation? | 21:47 |
| z_ | dont believe so | 21:47 |
| z_ | android-sdk-linux is locked, add-ons platforms and tools are all locked dirs | 21:48 |
| === Jilly is now known as JillyB | ||
| z_ | its located in /home | 21:48 |

| z_ | havent installed it yet. | 21:49 |
| marcappuccino | when did this lockup happen? | 21:49 |
| oskar- | (and is it maybe normal?) | 21:49 |
| z_ | it happened when i used the terminal window to move android-sdk-linux into the /home/ dir | 21:50 |
| gordonjcp | z_: don't do that, it doesn't make sense | 21:50 |
| z_ | then i used nautilus to extract it there | 21:50 |
| marcappuccino | what is the commands that you used go to the terminal and press the up arrow to see history | 21:51 |
| gordonjcp | it should be in /home/<whateveryourusernameis | 21:51 |
| marcappuccino | ^ +1 | 21:51 |
| oskar- | z : as a normal user you do not have permission to move something to /home. that folder is "locked" intentionally, belonging to the superuser (root) | 21:52 |
| shanecowherd | How can you delete a file that a symlink points to? | 21:52 |
| jrib | shanecowherd: umm, did you see what I said earlier? | 21:52 |
| adam_ | i can't figure out how to get boot info script to work | 21:52 |
| shanecowherd | jrib: readlink | 21:53 |
| z_ | i used sudo mv android-sdk_r20.0.3-linux.tgz /home/ | 21:53 |
| jrib | shanecowherd: and? | 21:53 |
| shanecowherd | jrib: I can get the file name with read link, how can I pipe that to rm? | 21:53 |
| jrib | shanecowherd: why do you want to do this anyway? | 21:53 |
| meio | 2 questions: First I want to use but it says an error message that wine isn't owned by me, Second: I want to find a macro program except xmacros and autokey that runs on ubuntu and that is capable of recording with a gui or via command line but that records delay of the inputs I have done, | 21:53 |
| jrib | shanecowherd: $() | 21:53 |
| shanecowherd | jrib: I make a backup of a folder every day and I symlink the most recent one to "current" | 21:54 |
| oskar- | shanecowherd: rm $( readlink ${mylink} ) | 21:54 |
| subcool | ok.. can somone help me- i i have network manager, and its not supported anymore. im to use what? | 21:54 |
| subcool | i have KDE | 21:54 |
| marcappuccino | so if you just move it to *your* home folder then it should work, no? /home/(yourusrname) | 21:54 |
| shanecowherd | oskar: thanks, I'll try that | 21:54 |
| oskar- | shanecowherd: know, what you are doing, because that command deletes ;) | 21:55 |
| z_ | is there a cmd to set the entire system to as superuser or root user so i dont have to worry about locked files etc | 21:55 |
| marcappuccino | or actually after a fresh install because your home folder appears to be locked up (corruption etc.) | 21:55 |
| jrib | z_: that makes little sense | 21:55 |
| oskar- | z : that would be not a supported usage... | 21:55 |
| user | z_: yes. there is. and it would be a stupid idea to use it | 21:55 |
| marcappuccino | not a good idea | 21:56 |
| adam_ | gah, i downloaded boot info script and followed the instructions on how to start it, but when i put sudo bash ~/Desktop/boot_info_script*.sh into my terminal it just says no such file or directory | 21:56 |

| marcappuccino | if ao use a backslash before the spaces i think /home/me/my\ file name.conf | 21:58 |
| marcappuccino | *if so | 21:58 |
| oskar- | adam_: you should try an invariant absolute path | 21:58 |
| marcappuccino | or just rename the file so there is no spaces | 21:58 |
| adam_ | the file name is bootinfoscript-061.tar.gz | 21:58 |

| jrib | Emil_: update-manager will prompt you if you want to upgrade when it's released and you press yes | 22:33 |
| Jordan_U | adam_: You can fix Windows' boot sector from within Ubuntu. No need for a separate CD. | 22:33 |
| === bass_goon_ is now known as bassgoon | ||
| Somelauw | bekks, how about burning the iso? | 22:34 |
| vivid | adam_::: what are you trying to accomplish? im positive that download still requires that you own a copy of windows | 22:34 |
| ||arifaX | Somelauw: maybe you have a broken RAM stick? | 22:34 |
| Emil_ | jrib: And they say windows is simple xD | 22:34 |
| MonkeyDust | Emil_ and 'hard' depends on what you're used to | 22:34 |
| bassgoon | so if I have 12.04 on a usb drive with a 4gb persistent partition, can I install updates normally on that? or are there some I'll never be able to update? | 22:34 |
| adam_ | im just trying to repair my windows boot sector | 22:34 |
| adam_ | and i have no idea how | 22:34 |
| bekks | Somelauw: Then you burn the iso to a cd or dvd, but not to a (hard)disk. | 22:34 |
| Guest48753 | Emil_: At the moment 12.10 is considered as in development and you need to take some hurdles to upgrade. Once it has been officially released it is only a mouseclick away. | 22:34 |
| Jordan_U | adam_: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Boot_Sector | 22:34 |
| Guest48753 | jrib: | 22:35 |
| Guest48753 | jrib: Sorry, you were first. :-) | 22:35 |
| soman | what I should to use to write native apps for Linux with C/C++ like a WinAPI in Windows? | 22:35 |
| soman | I mean what libraries or tools etc... | 22:36 |
| vivid | soman::: vim | 22:36 |
| Somelauw | bekks, in that case I mean a dvd disk. | 22:36 |
| soman | vivid: it seems to be a editor, yes? | 22:36 |
| bekks | Somelauw: Then you have to use dvd iso too. | 22:36 |
| Jordan_U | soman: Do you plan to make a GUI based app, a terminal based app, a server of some type, or something else? | 22:36 |
| bekks | Somelauw: Did you do that? | 22:36 |
| vivid | soman::: libraries depends on what youre trying to write an application to accomplish | 22:36 |
| soman | Jordan_U: GUI and terminal | 22:37 |
| Cong | soman, install these g++, gtkmm packages. | 22:37 |
| vivid | or just build-essential | 22:37 |
| soman | Cong: it means I should use Gtk+? | 22:37 |
| vivid | soman::: do you *want* to use gtk? | 22:37 |
| bekks | gtk+, jeez, no. :) | 22:37 |
| Somelauw | bekks, what do you mean by dvd iso? I used CDBurnerXP for all the distro's I tried, but it only worked for ubuntu 10.4 | 22:38 |
| oskar- | !info g++ | 22:38 |
| ubottu | g++ (source: gcc-defaults (1.112ubuntu5)): GNU C++ compiler. In component main, is optional. Version 4:4.6.3-1ubuntu5 (precise), package size 1 kB, installed size 34 kB | 22:38 |
| Jordan_U | soman: There are many options, Quickly is an Ubuntu project to make starting out with GUI programming in Ubuntu (along with packaging and other things) as simple as possible: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Quickly | 22:38 |
| soman | what a crossdistro native GUI are in Linux? | 22:38 |
| Guest48753 | soman: There are gcc and g++ as compiler, the libs depend on what your target is, cli can normally build right away, iirc. Editor of choice would be vim as vivid said. | 22:38 |
| zykotick9 | bassgoon: (not sure) but i don't think you can "update" a persistant install. i find full installs to USB more powerful (but they don't offer install to other media, and 4GB is probably too small) | 22:38 |
| soman | or all is dependence of graphic shell? | 22:38 |
| bekks | Somelauw: a cd iso will not boot correctly when burned onto a dvd - and vice versa. | 22:38 |
| jrib | soman: all the toolkits are cross*distro* I'd say... | 22:39 |
| bassgoon | zykotick9, you mean just install ubuntu on my usb drive | 22:39 |
| Jordan_U | soman: GTK and QT are the major GUI toolkits, though there are others. | 22:39 |
| jrib | soman: gtk, qt, wx are probably some of the more popular ones... | 22:39 |
| zykotick9 | bassgoon: well, that would be what I would do. but 4gb is too small to bother... YMMV | 22:39 |
| Guest48753 | How can I load alsa driver from cli? | 22:39 |
| bassgoon | zykotick9, no no, it's a 32gb drive, but I created a 4gb casper partition | 22:39 |
| bassgoon | casper file I guess | 22:39 |
| zykotick9 | bassgoon: ahhh... gotcha | 22:40 |
| roothorick | so, question | 22:40 |
| Somelauw | bekks, there is only a single iso I can download: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/thank-you?distro=desktop&release=lts&bits=64 | 22:40 |
| soman | Jordan_U, jrib and Guest48753 big thanks | 22:40 |
| roothorick | is wireless SUPPOSED to be disabled by default, i.e. on boot? | 22:40 |
| Jordan_U | bassgoon: Definitely just go with a normal install then (the same way you would install to an internal drive). | 22:40 |
| bassgoon | I can keep it fat32? | 22:40 |
| Jordan_U | soman: You're welcome. | 22:40 |
| bekks | Somelauw: Then you have to use cd, not a dvd to burn it onto. | 22:40 |
| Guest48753 | roothorick: NO, but you need to enter the key as a user. You can spec if it's for <user> or systemwide. | 22:40 |
| zykotick9 | bassgoon: not with a "real" install no. FAT isn't posix compliant... | 22:40 |
| Guest48753 | soman: very welcome. | 22:41 |
| Jordan_U | bassgoon: You can't keep it *only* fat32. You can have Ubuntu on ext4, with an additional Fat32 partition. | 22:41 |
| bassgoon | Jordan_U, genius :) | 22:41 |
| bassgoon | and I dont' need swap probably | 22:41 |
| Somelauw | bekks, I just told you that it worked when I used a dvd. | 22:41 |
| Jordan_U | adam_: Did you see / understand the link I gave you? | 22:41 |
| vivid | bassgoon::: you should have a swap anyway....i have 8GB of RAM and my swap contains 43.1 MB of data anyway | 22:42 |
| bassgoon | vivid, so i'm running ubuntu off a usb flash drive, on a computer where it won't have access to any hdd | 22:42 |
| adam_ | yes | 22:42 |
| bassgoon | and I need a swap partition? | 22:42 |
| soman | I'm a newbie to Linux:) One more question: do I need to defragment my ext4 time-to-time as in Win if I often download and delete many files? | 22:42 |
| adam_ | i ran test disk and hopefully this is all fixed | 22:42 |
| adam_ | i also ran sudo update-grub | 22:43 |
| vivid | bassgoon::: you *should* have a swap partition | 22:43 |
| adam_ | that would have put grub into my linux partition right? | 22:43 |
| zykotick9 | soman: no defrag required for EXT filesystems... well, not usually anyways. | 22:43 |
| soman | zykotick9: thanks | 22:44 |
| vivid | soman::: not needing derag on ext4 is a myth, indeed fragmentation will occur over time | 22:44 |
| Jordan_U | adam_: No, grub is fine as it is. That link will fix your Windows boot sector. | 22:44 |
| soman | vivid: ok | 22:44 |
| vivid | soman::: there is a tool that can defrag single files or the entire filesystem. 'man e4defrag' | 22:44 |
| adam_ | okay, i'll tryrebooting and see if it works | 22:45 |
| soman | vivid: I run it now in console)) That is good, thank you | 22:45 |
| Jordan_U | adam_: It helps if you use my nick in your responses, that way they are highlighted in my client and I won't miss them. | 22:46 |
| itsrachelfish | Is there any way to edit gnome terminal's keyboard shortcuts from a file/the command line? | 22:46 |
| abimael | is there a board for specific states? | 22:46 |
| opieng | anyone know the command for downloading Google chorme. I am new to linux/ubuntu and I am determined to learn using the terminal | 22:47 |
| Guest48753 | soman: ext3 and ext4 don't need to be defragmented it is said. Though defrag tools exist. it is not like in windows. :-) | 22:47 |
| soman | Last Q: Can't build (configuring fails) wxWidgets 2.9.4 in Ubuntu 12.04. What could be a problem? http://paste.kde.org/540686/13461633/ - conf log, http://paste.kde.org/540728/16770213/ terminal out + environment file contents | 22:48 |
| soman | Guest48753: ok, thanks, I will try it later:) | 22:49 |
| vivid | soman::: sudo apt-get build-dep <package you want to build> | 22:49 |
| oskar- | Guest48753, soman: ext3/4 can also have fragmented files. you should keep a reasonable amount of filesystem space free to leave good options to the space allocator algorithm to avoid fragmentation | 22:49 |
| vivid | soman::: apt-get source <package you want to build> | 22:49 |
| oskar- | something like 20% free space | 22:49 |
| vivid | soman::: cd <package directory> && debuild -b | 22:49 |
| Guest48753 | opieng: sudo apt-get install chromium-bsu. see man apt-get. | 22:49 |
| Jordan_U | soman: You do *not* want to install wxwidgets from source. | 22:50 |
| soman | vivid: stop stop stop... As I understand you offer to build *.deb? I didn't compiled it yet... | 22:51 |
| vivid | soman::: youre on a debian-based system. so we use debian-based tools to build packages | 22:51 |
| Guest48753 | oskar-: Good point, thanks. Also, imho have / as one partition and /home as another. By default, everything is on /. | 22:51 |
| Jordan_U | Guest48753: chromium-bsu is a video game... | 22:51 |
| soman | Jordan_U: I want to compile it => make deb => install deb | 22:51 |
| vivid | soman::: side-stepping the package manager is a bad idea | 22:51 |
| Jordan_U | soman: Why? | 22:51 |
| Guest48753 | Jordan_U: flaming hell. | 22:51 |
| soman | Jordan_U: wanna try 2.9.4 | 22:52 |
| Guest48753 | soman: Did you get that...? The package name I gave you is wrong, don't install. | 22:52 |
| soman | Guest48753: I didn't get anything | 22:52 |
| vivid | soman::: the steps to do that are what i listed. 'sudo apt-get build-dep <package>' will install the dependencies. 'apt-get source <package>' will download the source code. 'cd <package-dir> && dpkg-buildpackage -b' will build the binary | 22:52 |
| Guest48753 | opieng: Did you get that...? The package name I gave you is wrong, don't install. | 22:52 |
| Guest48753 | soman: Sorry, wrong nickname. | 22:53 |
| soman | vivid: but how is package named? | 22:53 |
| Guest48753 | Jordan_U: Many thanks for keeping you head up. | 22:53 |
| vivid | soman::: there are many detailed explanations and tutorials of debian packaging available from debian, ubuntu and others, use google | 22:54 |
| XDS2010 | anyone here speak chinese ? | 22:54 |
| Guest48753 | !cn | XDS2010 | 22:54 |

| XDS2010 | is there a chinese ubu channel ? | 22:54 |
| XDS2010 | ty | 22:54 |
| soman | vivid: sorry for stupid behaviour... But I already have a source... I need to configure it correctly to build a deb from it later | 22:55 |
| vivid | soman::: read debian packaging guidelines | 22:55 |
| vivid | soman::: its too much to explain here, youre going to have to read it | 22:55 |
| soman | vivid: I know how to build deb with checkinstall but I cannot build sources | 22:55 |
| Jordan_U | soman: You honestly seem pretty confused at this point. I highly recommend you try app development via Quickly first. | 22:56 |

| rangergorder | hi | 23:02 |
| rangergorder | anyone remember how to switch from Kubuntu 10.04 to regular Ubuntu? (with gedit et al)? I dont need to remove the Kubuntu stuff, as long as the desktop is Gnome. | 23:02 |
| vivid | rangergorder::: change it at the login screen | 23:02 |
| bkc_ | rangergorder: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 23:02 |
| bekks | rangergorder: Just install the package "ubuntu-desktop" | 23:02 |
| vivid | (provided its installed) | 23:02 |

| dr_willis | state the problem and see.... | 23:07 |
| JessicaW | is there any way to disable the notification of a new release? "New release 'precise' available." | 23:08 |
| dr_willis | adam__, theres that boot-repair tool/live cd that i tend to use. | 23:08 |

| JessicaW | yup. that's your proble3m | 23:08 |
| dr_willis | adam__, you are using a WUBI install of Ubuntu? | 23:08 |

| Guest48753 | bkc_: Quick feedback, I checked 'dmesg | grep snd' to identify the driver and with modprobe it's all back on track. Many thanks. | 23:15 |
| dr_willis | johan_1337, whats the img file and how big is the img file? | 23:15 |
| zykotick9 | johan_1337: converting an img to iso is usually a bad plan | 23:15 |
| Guest43153 | dr_willis: i get no proprietary drivers | 23:15 |
| JessicaW | here's a harder one. How to make/make install on a debootstrap image? | 23:15 |
| dr_willis | !debootstrap | 23:15 |
| ubottu | debootstrap is used to create a !Debian or Ubuntu base system from scratch, without requiring the availability of !dpkg or !APT. It does this by downloading !.deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them into a directory you can eventually !chroot into. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot for more information | 23:15 |
| johan_1337 | it is backtrack and size is 1gig | 23:15 |
| bkc_ | JessicaW: np :) | 23:16 |
| szal | !backtrack | johan_1337 | 23:16 |
| ubottu | johan_1337: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition | 23:16 |
| dr_willis | johan_1337, this is a hard drive/vm image file? | 23:16 |
| johan_1337 | dont know | 23:16 |
| johan_1337 | my processor is running 100% | 23:16 |
| dr_willis | time to ask about it in the backtrack channels then i guess.. Not sure why you would even want an img file... | 23:17 |
| === Guest43153 is now known as newtoubuntu | ||
| johan_1337 | its frozeen or? | 23:17 |
| bkc_ | dr_willis: I'm guessing it was an iso... like he said | 23:17 |
| dr_willis | johan_1337, check top output perhaps.. or the file size of the iso and see if its still growing. | 23:17 |
| JessicaW | dr_willis: thanks doc. I know what it is though. I need to know how to install to the image if I don't have build-essentials installed. If I chroot to it, won't it screw up the current installation? | 23:17 |
| newtoubuntu | i get no propriatery drivers. now what | 23:18 |
| dr_willis | JessicaW, i never use it.. | 23:18 |
| johan_1337 | it is veryfying img still | 23:18 |
| JessicaW | dr_willis: ahhh. okies then. | 23:18 |
| bkc_ | JessicaW: chroot changes your root... so it wont mess with your current installation :) | 23:18 |
| dr_willis | See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot I figured would have details you need... | 23:18 |
| JessicaW | bkc_: even if it installs a daemon and starts it? | 23:19 |

| bkc_ | py: afaik there's no rules before adding them, hence all are blocked... I'd setup the rules before enabling the firewall :) | 23:22 |
| bsmith093 | im going to put lucid on and replace jaunty, how do i backup my entier home dir? | 23:22 |
| py | aha | 23:22 |
| bsmith093 | hidden stuff included | 23:22 |
| min|dvir|us | bsmith093: cp -R ~ /path/to/backup. Or use rsync. | 23:22 |
| bkc_ | newtoubuntu: don't ask to ask, just ask and someone might have a look at it | 23:22 |
| py | bkc_: what does this do: udo ufw default allow udo ufw default deny | 23:22 |
| enekoos | ubuntu 12:04 not use xorg.conf were I can configure virtual monitor for use 2 monitor | 23:22 |
| dr_willis | newtoubuntu, intel dos4ent use propareity drivers.. they should be included. | 23:22 |
| min|dvir|us | enekoos: it uses xorg.conf but one is not included by default. | 23:23 |
| bkc_ | py: that blocks everything :) | 23:23 |
| newtoubuntu | bkc_ its kind of hard when you dont get an answer and you try to be polite at the same time | 23:23 |
| dr_willis | actually no rules = Nothing is blocked.... | 23:23 |
| enekoos | configuration not is other files now? | 23:23 |
| min|dvir|us | Can someone recommend a GTK git frontend? | 23:23 |
| py | bkc_: aha ok | 23:23 |
| bkc_ | py: ooh... that's 2 commands actually :/ | 23:23 |
| [aViDaN] | gnome or xfce for macbook air? | 23:23 |
| py | but if i add after that ufw allow ssh is it good than ? | 23:23 |
| JessicaW | unity. :D | 23:24 |
| bkc_ | py: sudo ufw default allow <-- all open and swell, sudo ufw default deny <-- all closed behind walls :) | 23:24 |
| py | aha | 23:24 |
| newtoubuntu | dr_willis: my issue is a low res and a constant need to replace the quiet splash with nomodeset. I just want to correct the graphic and boot issues so i can enjoy this fine OS :) | 23:24 |
| py | so i could set ufw default deny | 23:24 |
| py | and after that | 23:24 |
| py | ufw allow ssh | 23:24 |
| py | it will allow ssh right ? | 23:24 |
| bkc_ | py: and after that you have no ssh ^^ | 23:24 |
| dr_willis | newtoubuntu, if nomodeset works, you can make it the default. Ive never had issues with the intel on my netbooks. so cant really suggest much | 23:24 |
| JessicaW | bsmith093: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/backup | 23:25 |
| dr_willis | py, if you have no other services running.. then theres nothing to really listen to the denyed ports. :) | 23:25 |
| bkc_ | py: ufw allow ssh, ufw default deny <-- that will work, in that order (!!) | 23:25 |
| JessicaW | bsmith093: that's the tutorial I used anyways... | 23:25 |
| Kevin1a | min|dvir|us: The motherboard is a proprietary board that came out of an HP media PC. Unfortunetly I can't seem to find an updated bios or anything for it. Probably not looking in the right places. Any other suggestions? KM0201: I tried with headphones and a different cable last night and still had issues, so I don't think it's the speakers. | 23:25 |
| py | aha first i need to | 23:25 |
| py | open port | 23:25 |
| py | and than block all ? | 23:25 |
| py | not vice versa ? | 23:25 |
| === n is now known as Guest57980 | ||
| bkc_ | dr_willis: I'm guessing he's connected through an ssh-connectoin :/ | 23:26 |
| min|dvir|us | Kevin1a: are you using the same inbound/outbound ports for microphone/speakers? | 23:26 |
| py | i am yes :S | 23:26 |
| bkc_ | py: not block all... just the ones without a rule... hence 'default | 23:26 |
| bkc_ | ' | 23:26 |
| py | aha ok | 23:26 |
| py | sec | 23:26 |
| dr_willis | py, so any other services you are running that need denied? | 23:26 |
| py | i hope i am not staying out | 23:26 |
| KM0201 | Kevin1a: but if it's doing it in Windows and Ubuntu, it's obviously not an Ubuntu problem | 23:26 |
| py | well | 23:26 |
| py | i have few services that need to be open | 23:27 |
| py | but i would like to have ssh filtered | 23:27 |
| py | all other ports can be | 23:27 |
| py | opened for all | 23:27 |
| py | except ssh to IP | 23:27 |
| opieng | i installed google chrome, but don't know where its gone or how to access it | 23:27 |
| dr_willis | py, details of your exact network setup would be handy.. im not sure how you are 'filtering' ssh by having it open,, and layoff the enterkey | 23:27 |
| zimm3r | In ubuntu 11.04 is there a way for it to just ignore the certificate when connecting to the internet through a wpa2 enterprise network? | 23:27 |
| bkc_ | !enter > py | 23:28 |
| ubottu | py, please see my private message | 23:28 |
| newtoubuntu | dr_willis: many people have had this issue as ive seen on forums. how can i at least make nomodeset permanent? keep in mind i am a brand new user :) | 23:28 |
| JessicaW | bkc_: hmmm. If I chroot into the image, there's no path for the compilers and it errors out. | 23:28 |
| py | bkc_: dr_willis oki doki i would like to filter ssh so there won't be some jurks who try to brutforce ssh or something... so it will be filter only for my ip | 23:28 |
| W4sp | opieng: You can start from command line as 'chromium-browser &' | 23:28 |
| dr_willis | !nomodeset | 23:28 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 23:28 |
| py | bkc_: dr_willis than i run ircd server wowza streaming and some other stuff that is open for public those ports should stay open for everyone | 23:29 |
| bkc_ | JessicaW: you need to debootstrap build-essentials, as it isn't part of the base installation anymore :) | 23:29 |
| py | bkc_: dr_willis so what i am trying to do is filter ssh :) | 23:29 |
| bkc_ | py: that requires more than ufw ^^ | 23:29 |
| JessicaW | bkc_: bah. I'll just install it and purge it when done | 23:29 |
| py | bkc_: why :) | 23:30 |
| bkc_ | JessicaW: It doesn't take that much space... so why not leave it :) | 23:30 |
| newtoubuntu | dr_willis: ok and i type that where for it to stick | 23:30 |
| py | isnt so that ports are by default open.... so i would need to filter only ssh | 23:30 |
| py | :) | 23:30 |
| opieng | W4sp, it says command not found, is there anyway of pulling up an icon, its for my wife laptop and she is not used to commands lines | 23:30 |
| opieng | .... by the looks of it neither am I, but I am determined to learn | 23:30 |
| Kevin1a | min|dvir|us: The onboard audio, the Creative sound card have seperate output jacks. The Wireless headset just a has a little USB thing. I'm guessing it has to be hardware related though because Ubuntu never really gives me problems, and now both it and Windows are acting up. One more fact I forgot to mention. The stuttering and static seem to be independent of the CPU load to some degree. Yes it happens when I'm playing Crysis, but it a | 23:30 |
| Kevin1a | lso happens when I'm listening to a regular old mp3 or ogg file. | 23:30 |
| bkc_ | py: I don't think you quite understan dhow ports and firewalls work, and I'm to drunk to explain ^^ | 23:31 |
| dr_willis | newtoubuntu: read the url the not gave | 23:31 |
| dr_willis | Not... | 23:31 |
| bkc_ | !nomodeset | newtoubuntu | 23:31 |
| ubottu | newtoubuntu: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 23:31 |
| dr_willis | Silly auto fix.. | 23:31 |
| py | i think i understand it, just not familiar with ubuntu and dont wonna lock me out | 23:31 |
| JessicaW | bkc_: I guess I could. I just want to keep the image very very small. All these servers are doing is processing. no writing to hdd or use of memory other than to support CPUs. | 23:31 |
| py | does hosts.deny allow still work on latest ubuntu ? | 23:31 |
| bkc_ | JessicaW: well... they all use the same image on nfs, so there's not that much overhead really (done it already, on Arch thou) | 23:32 |
| graingert | py: why do you want to stop ssh/ | 23:32 |
| graingert | ?* | 23:32 |
| W4sp | opieng: It should be in '/usr/bin/chromium-browser'. How did you install it? If you use Software Centre the icon is created automaticaly. Also, in Unity you can type in chrome and it should come up. | 23:32 |
| py | graingert: not stop | 23:32 |
| py | just filter per IP | 23:32 |
| bkc_ | graingert: he wants to limit access to it | 23:32 |
| py | so only my ip would be able to login | 23:32 |
| JessicaW | bkc_: good point. It's only a few MB it looks like. | 23:33 |
| bkc_ | py: and then I just have to rootkit your computer, and I'm done :) | 23:33 |
| py | :D | 23:33 |
| graingert | py: just use knockd, a different port and publickey auth | 23:33 |
| graingert | in reverse order | 23:33 |
| bkc_ | py: filtered ip is really a moot argument :) | 23:33 |
| py | hm | 23:34 |
| bkc_ | py: also, afaik you can turn on auto-blacklisting. so it will blacklist bruteforcers :/ | 23:34 |
| graingert | py: those are the three best ways to stop people haxing you | 23:34 |
| zimm3r | Is there anyway to have ubuntu ignore a invalid cert on a wpa2 enterprise connection | 23:34 |
| opieng | W4sp, I install it through terminal with aptitude.. trying to learn command lines. I found it in unity, and it now pops an icon on the desktop for me | 23:35 |
| py | bkc_: graingert wait | 23:35 |
| lickalott | guys...i'm 10 google pages into vsftpd and cannot find out how to change the location of the default ftp path. can someone point me in the right direction? | 23:35 |
| lickalott | plz | 23:35 |
| py | so what first | 23:35 |
| graingert | public key auth only | 23:35 |
| bkc_ | JessicaW: a compiler is always good to have on a compute-cluster ;) | 23:35 |
| py | aha | 23:35 |
| bkc_ | py: also, a strong password ^^ | 23:36 |
| graingert | py: *reply to dm* hello? | 23:36 |
| W4sp | opieng: Fine, you can leave an icon in Launcher. When you have Chrome running right-click the icon in the Launcher. | 23:36 |
| newtoubuntu | Thanks a lot to all who helped me | 23:36 |
| graingert | bkc_: well you don't need to worry about passwords with pubkey only | 23:36 |
| bkc_ | graingert: indeed | 23:36 |
| Oros | hi | 23:37 |
| py | good | 23:37 |
| py | than i am going to do that | 23:37 |
| py | tnx | 23:37 |
| py | what about fw than no need ? | 23:37 |
| bkc_ | py: not really | 23:37 |
| py | if ports need to be open | 23:37 |
| Oros | Noticed that StartUpManager is no longer in the repository. What is the easiest way to edit the grub meny. Have tried to install Grub customizer without success | 23:38 |
| py | oki | 23:38 |
| JessicaW | bkc_: I'm noticing that. I think I'll leave it. :D | 23:38 |
| bkc_ | firewalls are good for one thing, routers :) | 23:38 |
