[00:00] I know what happen [00:01] what other places should I look for excessive memory usage in the root partition? [00:01] harushimo: ~/ [00:01] ridor, maybe for some reason, your wifi trying to get some address fromdhcp server [00:01] my home directory? [00:01] harushimo: du -h --max-level 1 / will list directory usage by size, you can then drill down [00:01] i have a problem with my graphic driver: it says that the driver is activated but not currently in use' [00:01] that's a good idea [00:02] a [00:02] harushimp, i think you using a wrong frase for memory on your root partition [00:02] but before i never had this problem [00:02] ridor, what are you try to do before? [00:03] Spectacle_K try this command in a terminal, in one line dpkg -l|grep ii|awk '{print $2}'|less > list;cat list|xargs sudo apt-get instal [00:03] that is what called / [00:03] I mean root directory [00:03] ridor, have you try configure network manually? [00:03] before the same thing with wifi dhcp enable [00:03] I can't seem to get sound drivers working for my laptop, I'm on an alienware m17x. From what I've seen I need to edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf file, but it's a bit above my knowledge. Anyone have time to lead me through fixing it? [00:03] I am so sorry. you are correct [00:03] MonkeyDust: E: Invalid operation insta [00:03] Spectacle_K try this command in a terminal, in one line dpkg -l|grep ii|awk '{print $2}' > list;cat list|xargs sudo apt-get instal [00:04] no yet [00:04] Spectacle_K idd, it's install [00:04] MonkeyDust: E: Invalid operation instal [00:04] ridor, how a long time for waiting? [00:04] MonkeyDust: OK. [00:04] Spectacle_K copy paste this dpkg -l|grep ii|awk '{print $2}' > list;cat list|xargs sudo apt-get install [00:05] spectacle_k, install ...checks it [00:05] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [00:05] du -h --max-level 1 / this command isn't working [00:05] Spectacle_K off course, it's already installed, but no errors, thats good [00:06] harushimo: it is --max-depth not --max-level [00:06] Spectacle_K that command puts all installed programs in a list, then installs it (after you reinstalled ubuntu) [00:06] yeah sorry [00:06] there is a message "up to 60 second if not found " :( blackshirt [00:06] max-depth [00:06] thank you [00:06] MonkeyDust: Realize that that command probably had the side effect of marking all of Spectacle_K's packages as "manually installed". [00:06] MonkeyDust: OK, so run the command you gave me to reinstall these programmes? [00:06] MonkeyDust: that should be two separate commands [00:07] hmm...it isn't working [00:07] otherwise nothing will ever be done [00:07] ridor, was ctrl+c would stop them? [00:07] harushimo: alias du='du -h --max-depth 1' [00:07] no nothing [00:07] does anyone know of a thunderbird addon that lets me right click an email in the list view and create a filtering rule from it?

[00:09] Ben64 first create the list, then take the list to the new installation, then execute the part after the semicolon [00:10] MonkeyDust: right, but you never said that [00:10] ok i reboot my machine and i tell you what's happens blackshirt [00:10] okey ridor [00:10] Ben64 you're right, i was too enthousiastic [00:10] how can I make my computer start up faster?

[01:12] jrbergdorff: if i remember right, you have to get a driver for that printer from canon. I had one of those set up wirelessly, is that what you are trying to do?

[01:14] wormmd: i see i just wanted opinions so i could be aware of any future mishappenings [01:14] Hylian: Went to Canon and there are no drivers available, got the driver from ubuntu printer setup [01:14] jrbergdorff: strange, never had that happen with that model. The one we use at the office runs without a hitch...

[01:23] I have tried every way i could find for 3 days now to get web vids to play an i have had no luck i have Ubuntu 12.04, shockwave flash, open JDK 7 and ice tea plugin at the moument what am i missing that is making this so difficult [01:23] my speakers pop when they are pluged into the audio outlet but not the "back" outlet [01:23] also, punctuation! ^^ [01:23] yes, active server page shell [01:23] veric run the command sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [01:23] that will install the software you need [01:24] poz_: normal [01:24] however, when I run windows 7, it does not pick up the "back" outlet so I need it in the audio outlet [01:24] poz_: let me look this up fr a second, while I am doing that, can you run a command in console? (terminal)? run alsamixer if you can. [01:25] okay [01:25] it is open [01:26] Maro848 forgot to mention that i have that installed to [01:26] whats the best one from here http://sh3ll.org/? [01:26] it hasent helped [01:26] then try and run sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [01:27] poz_: what version of ubuntu are you using? [01:27] 12.04.01 [01:27] Package flashplugin-nonfree is a virtual package provided by: [01:27] adobe-flashplugin 11.2.202.238-0precise1 [01:27] flashplugin-installer 11.2.202.238ubuntu0.12.04.1 [01:27] You should explicitly select one to install. [01:27] E: Package 'flashplugin-nonfree' has no installation candidate [01:27] veric: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:27] then run flashplugin-installer [01:27] anyone know why a newly dist-upgrade of 11.10 -> 12.04 still displays 11.10 in the status and login screen? [01:27] how do i make it red? [01:28] that is the response it gives me [01:28] thats what the nonfree defaults to [01:28] fictive, you should do full-upgrade or dist-upgrade [01:28] so run sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer and see if that helps [01:28] fictive: don't call dist-upgrade as a version-upgrade... they aren't the same. [01:29] !dist-upgrade | blackshirt fictive [01:29] I installed it from the update-manager. am I missing something or not understanding something? [01:29] blackshirt fictive: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. [01:29] poz_: the audio levels? choosing the audio level left and right, and then press up and down to change volume. if you want, you can also use q and z and e and c i believe to lower and raise one side ata a time. [01:29] fictive, it's NOT a version upgrade [01:29] aha [01:29] hylian:appears we are having a router issue [01:30] flashplugin-installer is already the newest version. says i have the newest one [01:30] still no veds [01:30] vids [01:30] poz_: ok, when you hit f6, do you see more than one audio device available? [01:30] then try to install the other package and see if that works [01:30] the adobe-flashplugin [01:30] jrbergdorff: did restarting it solve it, or are you still printer-less? [01:30] yes, i see two available [01:31] poz_: can you tell me which ones you have? [01:31] bazhang, blackshirt, zykotick9: though I did do exactly this: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/upgrade [01:31] hylian i see two available [01:31] i dont know how to make it red [01:31] poz_: how to make what read? [01:31] hylian: still printerless...if I plug directly into the ethernet, printer works...can't establish a connection to the rinter throught the router all of a sudden [01:31] 0: HDA Intel PCH &1: HDA Nvidia [01:31] red* so that it sticks out for you [01:33] and my husband lost internet on his comouter through the router...I have it he doesn't [01:33] jrbergdorff: i had a client that had a similar issue. the only problem is his solution was deactivate the wireless on the printer side of things, power cycle the printer, and then reactivate the wireless. I don't even know if you have that option, his was a hp. [01:33] As far as I know it would be pluged into the Intel one because its in my motherboard and thats what it is pluged in to [01:33] I do not get my sound from my graphics card.. [01:34] hylian: I do, will try that now [01:34] poz_: well actually... this is going to sound strange, but nvidia makes audio hardware. I have seen this especially in hp's, compaq's and dell's machines. [01:35] oh [01:35] hylian: there is also a default setting available [01:36] tools/ add-ons says all is up to date Java test is working but still no vids just a blank space [01:36] poz_: the first thing i would do if i where you, would be to set something playing in a loop, and then use alsamixer untill you find what device is controlling those ports, then we can work on the popping. [01:36] ok, will do [01:36] can you give me a link to vid you are trying to see so that I can get a better idea on what you may need to do from here? [01:37] any vid on the net none work [01:37] veric: FYI if you have more then 1 flash installed that could explain your issue... [01:38] zykotick9 does have a point.... have you tried to run apt-get update and upgrade to see if that solves the issue. Sometimes it will if the issue is packages causing an issue [01:38] how do i check it said removing before it installed the other [01:39] not this time but i have over the last 3 days [01:39] Im using a lubuntu varient Where would I be able to install the system profiler and benchmark tool? [01:39] ok then I would say run sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-nonfree [01:39] veric: i mean if you have gnash & adobe at the same time... [01:39] Hey , has anyone seen bz ? [01:39] then reinstall it using sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [01:40] peppermint: sudo apt-get install hardinfo will do it., use that code in the terminal. [01:40] ping admin [01:40] hello! [01:40] wyj: hello [01:40] hylian:no luck yet, in process of making sure my IP didn't just change [01:40] dont think i have gnash i will check [01:41] jrbergdorff: that happens too. but usually that error is with a printer router, not a wireless printer... but stranger things have happened. [01:41] how do i upgrade from ubuntu 12.04 to 12.04.1 without new install [01:41] no gnash [01:41] hylian, there are three things that change the volume: Master, PCM, and Front [01:42] yep changed...give me a sec [01:42] then Veric I would recommend the purge and reinstall of your flash and that very well may solve the issue [01:42] harris: run update-manager [01:42] I found a dead rat once in a computer i fixed in chicago. it got in and bit into the power supply cooking itself. this job is never boring. [01:42] i did and nothing came up [01:42] lol nice [01:42] any admins still arounD? [01:43] poz_: ok, and I hope they are all from one audio hardware source, right? (f6)? [01:43] would multiple players hurt vcl , divx,windows media [01:43] I am new to IRC. How do I reply to a person directly, i.e. their handle is at the beginning of my post? [01:43] dabears2, whats the issue [01:43] !tab | lukemorrison [01:43] lukemorrison: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [01:43] lukemorrison, [01:43] sorry wrong room [01:43] well when I change the devices I see no change so I am assuming there is only one, its only pluged into one place [01:43] jrib, it says software up to date [01:43] peppermint, there are not any supported lubuntu variants. what is yours [01:44] lukemorrison: if you start to type their nickname, and then press tab, it will fill in the entire nickname for you. then just type your messsage afterwards. [01:44] harris: then you're on 12.04.1 assuming you have the default repositories enabled [01:44] no i am not on 12.04.1 [01:45] harris: how are you determining this? [01:45] i ran a command that says i am on 12.04 [01:45] harris: what command? [01:45] !who | lukemorrison [01:45] lukemorrison: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [01:45] hylian: can print a test page, but nothing else [01:45] do-release-upgrade -c [01:45] hylian: nevermind, it's going now [01:46] poz_: ok, so there is only one audio hardware devce mentioned then, using f6... hmmm. what's the name it gives for that hardware? (i.e. mine shows Card: HDA ATI SB F1: Help │ [01:46] │ Chip: Realtek ALC270 [01:46] would multiple players hurt vcl , divx,windows media [01:46] am new to IRC. How do I reply to a person directly, i.e. their handl my post? [01:46] ./msg [01:46] lukemorrison: if you want to private message someone you /msg nickname whatever however if you are trying to solve a problem in here please keep the discussion in the channel so that all can bennefit [01:46] lukemorrison, type it out [01:46] no that shouldnt be an issue [01:46] how can I get a terminal using the new launcher? [01:46] ! zykotick9 | Thanks! [01:46] harris: and what did that command tell you? [01:46] lukemorrison: you just begin typing their nickname and press the key to auto complete it thne type your message [01:46] are you trying to view a vid on the internet or from your hard drive? [01:46] lsv: hit alt-f2, and then type gnome-terminal [01:46] it says it is using HDA Intel PCH [01:47] chip is realtek alc898 [01:47] hylian: thanks for your help! [01:47] no new release found [01:47] no on websites like yahoo and youtube [01:47] hylian: thanks [01:47] jrbergdorff: i am glad it is working for you. hopefully this is a seldom occurance, or non at all would be great too! :) [01:47] as far as i can see i only have shockwave flash [01:47] jrib, no the command was lsb_release -a and it said 12.04 [01:47] zykotick9, et al Thanks! [01:47] harris: 12.04.1 is just a point release. It's 12.04 with some of the later updates so fresh installs don't need to download as many updates. If you are on 12.04, just grab the latest updates [01:47] hylian: well at least I know what to do now if it does! [01:48] veric, so you have multiple sources/versions of flash, gnash and other installed. remove them, and use only the ubuntu one [01:48] i want 12.04.1 though [01:48] jrbergdorff: i'm glad. come back if you ever need help/ [01:48] anyone done android testing (emulator) on ubuntu? [01:48] ok just making sure but if running the purge and reinstall of flash doesn't work then you will most likely have to purge again and install from source [01:48] harris: you have it... [01:48] hylian: I was stuck because my daughter wanted a pic of the dog to take to school tomorrow :) [01:48] no i have 12.04 [01:48] tech1: i have a long time ago, using virtualbox. [01:48] tech1: I ahve but it's been awhile [01:48] I love this help group, everyone is so friendly, Thank you! [01:48] when i run the android avd i get error: segmentation fault, core dumped [01:48] poz_: did i lose you? [01:48] harris: do you understand what I just explained to you about what 12.04.1 is? [01:49] harris, whats the output of lsb_releaase -a [01:49] thats running with the terminal command [01:49] emulator -avd name [01:49] hylian: no, i am here [01:49] !version | harris please pay attention [01:49] harris please pay attention: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [01:49] no gnash i only have shockwave flash [01:49] harris: is this on a install or you want to upgrade an iso to .1 [01:49] will try purge [01:49] poz_: if you sent me a message I may not have recieved it. it's pretty busy here tonight. [01:49] i already have 12.04 installed histo [01:49] hylian: I said my card is HDA Intel PCH and chip is Realtek ALC898 [01:49] The VERSION request on | has timed out [01:50] harris, type lsb_release -a in the terminal [01:50] cubix`: !help [01:50] bazhang, Release: 12.04 [01:50] poz_: thanks. i'm going to see what I can dig up now, be back in 5 [01:50] oh he's back. great. [01:50] hylian, thank you [01:50] cubix`, hi [01:50] zykotick9 test [01:51] jrib, can i be op [01:51] harris: if you install upgrades you will have 12.04.1 [01:51] bazhang: I removed the ban just yesterday on this host, sigh [01:51] i instaLLED UPGRADES STILL 12.04 [01:51] harris: sorry updates not upgrades would be a better term [01:52] let me know what the outcome is of the purge and reinstall [01:52] harris: cat /etc/issue what does that output? [01:52] harris: 12.04.1 is not a new version. It's just a bookmark of sorts for people doing fresh installs so they don't need to download so many upgrades after a fresh install [01:53] hylian: another problem, printer and computer said the image was printing and nothing came out! printer state: Data Sent Successfully! [01:53] in sudo chown $USER /usr/local/src am i suppose to put my comp name where $USER is? [01:53] i am installing a bz2 === fernando is now known as Guest91549 [01:53] WeThePeople: $USER will automatically be replaced by your username [01:53] lukemorrison this is a tesr [01:54] jrbergdorff: there aren't any backed up "stuck" printer jobs, are there? [01:54] lukemorrison, success [01:54] hylian: no [01:54] lukemorrison: I don't think you can hilight yourself if that's what you were trying [01:54] I need to enter the colon manually? [01:55] lukemorrison: no start typing luke <---- hit the tab key for auto completion [01:55] histo okay [01:56] hi all, how can I set nautilus to be the default file manager from the CLI? The prefered applications menu isn't working. [01:56] lukemorrison: like for me you could type his should autocomplete my name and add the colon. With or without the colon it will show a hilight on the other users irc application usually [01:56] hylian: it is weird, it does it ever few mins, like its being unplugged and pluged back in, that kinda popping sound [01:57] I'm doing this on my phone. Maybe that's causing the issue? [01:57] hylian: any fixes that I read about seemed to indicate to turn off a power sleep mode for audio [01:59] hylian: I can print a document from the wifi, and I can't print templates directly from the printer, but the picture wouldn't print [02:00] poz_: sorry, that took considerably longer than 5. the suggestions where first to go into alsamixer and turn down pcm and mic boost. if that doesn't work, then we can look into the power sleep mode thing, or you can follow up on the information in this article: http://shortrecipes.blogspot.com/2010/12/ubuntu-1004-static-and-noise-sound-with.html [02:00] histo: That looks like it was the issue [02:00] histo: I am now on my desktop [02:00] jrbergdorff: sorry man. I have had several people ask for help at once. so the document prints, but with no picture? [02:01] lukemorrison: cool [02:01] lukemorrison: each irc client is a little different [02:01] hylian: now the document and pictures are seperate. Can print a document from Libre, but can't print the picture from the viewer....checking now to see if it was an image setting issue [02:02] hylian: p.s. I'm a chick...LOL ;0 [02:02] :-D [02:02] man, Im noticing alot of hdd led blinkage on my box today... what is up!!!? [02:02] Thanks hylian, it is hard to test because the popping is so inconsistent but I will start messing around with these things [02:02] pinPoint: you can install iotop and see what is using read/writes or install iostat both will show you [02:03] jrbergdorff: ohh, sorry. I'm a jr myself, and i know a few others. I assumed you where a guy too. [02:03] Does anyone know what songr is for windows 7 and know if there is a good replacement for ubuntu? [02:03] histo: Thanks for the help [02:03] poz_: if none of these work, come back and we'll take another crack at it. [02:04] hylian: haha, no prob, stands for Jocelyn Rose...to long to put all that [02:04] ohh, mine stands for junior... nice to meet you jr. [02:04] histo: I have top but that is it. [02:04] shows 0% on cpu an all [02:04] hylian, can you tell me how to change the default program associations? [02:04] !info iotop [02:04] iotop (source: iotop): simple top-like I/O monitor. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4.4-4 (precise), package size 21 kB, installed size 120 kB (Only available for linux-any) [02:04] poz_: sure, for what file type? [02:05] I want to change all music and video file types to use vlc [02:05] Maro848 i purged tried it without installing anything now youtube works but yahoo and the weather chanel vidos dont work [02:06] hmm [02:06] poz_: right click on a file you want to change the association for, then choose properties. there will be an option that says "open with". choose the app you want, apply and close. repeat for any other file types. [02:06] pinPoint: sudo apt-get install iotop && sudo iotop [02:06] poz_: open each type individually and select "open with", choose VLC and select "remember my option" [02:07] some youtubes will because they work on shock they're older, reinstall with sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree and try again [02:07] hello, I have a question about removing the kernel image 3.2.0-12-generic ? [02:07] Thanks crimsonmane and hylian [02:07] crimsonmane: thanks for helping out poz_ man. [02:07] hello [02:07] how to remove the linux-image 3.2.0-23-generic without having to install linux-image 3.2.0-29-generic ? [02:08] !ask | roshan [02:08] roshan: 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 [02:08] sorry.. [02:08] roshan: no big deal. :) [02:09] I have some strange cuztimization ideas, I am not sure if they are possible... I have a dual screen and I want to get rid of the top bar on one of them (left). is this possible? [02:09] My question is to remove totally linux-image 3.2.0-23 without having to install anything else [02:09] poz_: configuration > details you can change teh default apploications [02:09] hey, this is probably the wrong place to ask but, i've moved the dns entries to point to a new host, is it possible to figure out the ip address of the mail server from the old dns, without pointing the domain back at those old servers? [02:10] poz_: the first question to that answer would be in asking what desktop environment you are using. is it unity? (the one that automatically comes with ubnutu 12.04)? [02:10] yes, unity [02:11] Hey, is it ok to manipulate the fan speeds on ubuntu? [02:11] poz_: that's a tricky one. i personally don't like unity, so i don't use it. I could try and dig a little, but you would probably get more answers by trying to find a unity irc channel. i am a gnome classic user myself. [02:11] Whenever im on ubuntu, the fan speeds are way too high [02:12] but the sensors show that the temp. is normal [02:12] oh okay. so why dont you like unity? [02:12] nOde: i don't think you will get anyone to say yes to that question. they could be liable. i will say this, you can defintly modify the fan speeds. fancontrol is a popular app for that. [02:13] histo, where can i find configuration? [02:13] hylian, any idea why the fan speeds could be rising? I used intel graphics 4000 [02:13] And the system has detected it. [02:14] Does anyone know how to delete the guess user account? [02:14] guest* [02:14] is the /proc directory stored in ram? [02:14] poz_: i like the full menu to be available to me without typing out the name. I am a little forgetful at times as to what this software is acalled or that. in gnome classic, every gui app is available in a organized menu at the top left. thats the cool thing about linux, if you don't like something, there are a lot of other options. [02:14] poz_: sorry system settings click on the gear in the upper right and go to settings or you can hit the windows key and start typing in details [02:15] nOde: could be you have the vents blocked a little. to be honest, i don't specifically know why. my laptop barely runs fans at all. [02:15] hylian, is it easy to switch? [02:16] hylian: so, I can print from anywhere other than pictures! [02:16] histo, configuration is not listed in all settings [02:16] poz_: as easy as typing sudo apt-get install gnome, and then loggin out of unity once it is installed. then choose gnome, gnome classic, or my fave, gnome classic, no video extras edition. === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [02:16] sweet [02:16] TUplink: i don't think so. "mount" should show you "proc on /proc type proc ..." [02:17] jrbergdorff: what happend when you move the picture to /home/jr (or whatver your username is.. [02:17] poz_: details is in all settings [02:17] idk, [02:17] poz_: or as I said you can click the dash icon or hit the windows key and type "details" to find the exact settings page I am talking about. [02:17] is there any directory that is stored in ram that i can write a short string to? [02:18] jrbergdorff: this is strange. what type of partition is your pcitures folder in? [02:18] i want to make a script to check my RAID and write it somewhere not on a DISK like once an hour or so then every second read it and output it to 2 line LCD [02:19] TUplink: might be worth just mounting a small ramdisk [02:19] histo, thanks, the helped! [02:19] somsip: sounds good can you point me in the right direction GOOGLE is my friend [02:19] poz_: yeah, there is kde, which i think is too bloated. then there are the underweights, xfce and lxde. all of these are officially supported by ubuntu. i like gnome classic myself. but if you like eyecandy, try gnome regular instead of classic or kde. (besides unity..) [02:19] i thought maybe /proc was a ramdisk [02:20] so I have a general question about the ubuntu install I did. I set 15 gb to be associeated with / (root I am assuming) and 100 gb to /home. When I install stuff which one does it go to? [02:20] TUplink: here is a paste of my fstab entry to put all of /tmp into RAM. You should be able to figure it from there: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1175013/ [02:20] poz_: applications get installed to / all your settings and media files should get stored in /home [02:20] thank you [02:20] poz_: 15gb shouold be plenty [02:21] how do i get gnome regular? [02:21] TUplink: and I got this from plenty of tutorials on the web, [02:21] histo: thanks for helping poz_ man! :) [02:21] poz_: i like to suggest people not live in the past... [02:21] poz_: closest thing is MATE desktop environment [02:22] histo, but I just installed gnome which takes up 500 mb (0.5 gb or 1/30 of my space), I plan on installing applications which take up a few gb (like matlab)... I have several other drives where I can store files, so I am thinking that maybe I should have put it all to / and store everything else on the other drives [02:22] poz_: after installing gnome via sudo apt-get install gnome, then just log out of unity. there will be a ball shaped icon nect to your password section. this will let you choose what desktop you would like to use for this session. then enter your password, and whalla, [02:22] their is a install-sh script in 2.8.8 xchat is this the only file i need to run in order to install it? [02:22] already figured it out :P [02:23] somsip THANKS [02:23] TUplink: np [02:23] thanks hylian [02:24] crimsonmane, what do you mean? [02:24] how would I add a directory to my path that affects all users on this system, I would typically put in /etc/bashrc but couldn't find it? [02:24] poz_: gnome isn't a nessessity. if you need more space, I would suggest removeing gnome with sudo apt-get remove gnome. and then sudo apt-get autopurge. it's a nice desktop, but unity works jjst as well. [02:24] poz_: gnome2 is an abandoned project. MATE is a fork of gnome2 and you will find it quite familiar. [02:24] I've known about IRC for a long time, but just yesterday I started keeping this channel open and it's very informative to read. Just want to thank all of the experienced Ubuntu users for the insight (-: [02:25] Would anyone mind helping me optimize my SSD ? I am very new to ubuntu [02:25] crimsonmane: installing the package gnome is supposed to install gnome 3. the gnome classic is supposed to be a modified form of 3. not that i can't be wrong. [02:26] hylian: it's only there to keep people on ubuntu. it will be removed in the future [02:26] interesting. so will all of these different types of Linux have all of the applications I installed to them available? [02:26] yes poz_ [02:26] crimsonmane: mate does not show up in my repos, is it going to become available? [02:27] poz_: they are different "desktop environments" [02:27] hylian: mint-meta-mate [02:27] crimsonmane: right but I am not running mint.. maybe I am missing something here. [02:27] newbie to ubuntu here. wondering if some one could help me out [02:27] hylian: they use the same repo [02:27] right on [02:28] poz_: yes, they will all have the same menu entries. [02:28] so what does autopurge do? [02:28] sure baldypal what ya got? [02:28] poz_: autopurge is like sweeping the crumbs off the floor after a good cookie [02:28] lol [02:28] crimsonmane: i mean is mate going to become an official ubuntu, er, canonical package?> [02:28] okay [02:28] hylian: nope. it's not canonical [02:28] i've download the 32 bit and 64 but iso. iso burned it to a cd. correctly...and i reboot and it goes right back into windows [02:29] crimsonmane: but will it be available through regular ubuntu repos without adding more repos? [02:29] and my bios is set to boot to cdrom, i've confirmed and done so with another working cd for drive backup [02:29] you need to get into the bios of your computer and set it to boot from cd [02:29] <|Anthony|> i am looking at a new mobo that has uefi. will i be able to use ubuntu on it? [02:29] baldypal: you need to press F10 to select a one-time boot option, or set your bios to boot from cd first [02:29] hylian: it's already there [02:29] cimsonmane not all machines use f10 for a one time boot menu [02:29] |Anthony|: yes [02:29] baldypal: your system is probably set not to boot from the cd-rom before the hard drive. you may need to go into your bios and change that around. [02:30] <|Anthony|> crimsonmane, are there any caveats to be aware of? [02:30] thanks crimsonmane i've tripled checked that cdrom is in front of harddrive in boot order [02:30] crimsonmane: if i type sudo apt-get install mate, i get no options...?? ohh i think i get it now, thanks. [02:30] my order is cdrom, usb, harddrive [02:30] hylian: mint-meta mate like i said before [02:30] how can i get to root if i have no sudoer account? [02:30] liveUSB didnt work either. is the 12.04 version on the ubuntu website good? [02:31] removed myself from group by mistake [02:31] poz@PozUbuntu:~$ sudo apt-get autopurge [02:31] E: Invalid operation autopurge [02:31] if your pc is set to boot from the cd rom and it is not booting to the cd then perhaps you did not burn the .iso correctly [02:31] baldypal: you might have burned a dvd by mistake? i've done that before. [02:31] hylian, their is a install-sh script in 2.8.8 xchat is this the only file i need to run in order to install it? [02:31] poz@PozUbuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install mate [02:31] Reading package lists... Done [02:31] Building dependency tree [02:31] Reading state information... Done [02:31] E: Unable to locate package mate [02:31] poz_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:31] poz_: mint-meta-mate [02:31] not mate [02:31] i've burned on a TDK CD-R using Active ISO Burn [02:31] mint-meta-mate [02:31] oh [02:32] drag0nius: google how to boot into a single user shell to change password. [02:32] drag0nius: hang on i got you' [02:32] hylian, or do i need to ./configure [02:32] should i burn the disc a differnt way other than Active ISO Burnere? [02:32] I'm ahving trouble figuring out how to apt-get or aptitude form the terminal to query my installed pacakages [02:32] drag0nius: reboot, holding down shift until you reach Grub ... select RECOVERY and you'll get to a command prompt you can add yourself to the group via CLI or you can type startx to get into the GUI [02:33] WeThePeople: to ubuntu? personally i use irssi. but to install xchat you type sudo apt-get install xchat. (unless i misunderstood your querstion?) [02:33] baldypal: try UNETBOOTIN [02:33] therealfakemoot: don't use aptitude with 12.04! [02:33] !aptitude | therealfakemoot [02:33] therealfakemoot: 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. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. [02:33] baldypal: because your CD was not made as bootable, apparently [02:33] crimsonmane: apt-cache search for that comes up with nada. so i do need another external repo... [02:33] i use imgburn personally since it works best in my opinion on windows but if you have burned it with a proper tool at x1 speed then i do not understand y your machine wouldnt boot to it [02:33] hylian: google is your friend. i'm just a troll apparently. [02:33] therealfakemoot: i usually use dpkg for that like say dpkg -l [02:33] crimsonmane: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1175026/ [02:33] ok, i'll try UNETBOOTIN. [02:33] hylian, yeah, i did that to but it installed 2.8.6 not the newest ver. [02:33] thanks crimsonmane [02:34] crimsonmane: no, i was just curious.. sorry. ;( [02:34] that would be a great thing to try baldypal [02:34] hylian, which is 2.8.8 [02:35] WeThePeople: ohh, i see. yes, the sh script would be what you run. i would sudo that, after removing xchat ofcorse... sudo ./shfile.sh [02:35] hylian, pls check your version in the terminal and see what version you have using 'xchat -v' [02:35] crimsonmane: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1175026/ [02:35] poz_: as i was saying to hylan... [02:35] WeThePeople: i am not using xchat. I use irssi. [02:35] ahh [02:35] use google? [02:36] poz_: i guess you ubuntu people have to add a repo for it. from my end (installed MATE from the beginning) i have access to all your ubuntu stuff. === brittnee is now known as girlofdisinteres [02:37] I dont know what a repo is [02:37] WeThePeople: i built a little script, and then added it to the menu via alacarte. now when I click on it, i get logged into freenode at lightning fast speeds. === girlofdisinteres is now known as GirlOfApathy [02:37] * crimsonmane thinks someone is trying a little too hard to be goth. [02:38] * hylian agrees with crimsonmane [02:38] crimsonmane: if you don't mind, try keeping your comments support related and on topic please [02:38] Maro848 do i need to do anything else after sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin [02:38] hylian: you too please [02:38] IdleOne: i do mind, but thanks. [02:38] you shouldnt Veric [02:38] IdleOne, you too please :P [02:38] that should do the trick [02:38] IdleOne: ok, thanks for the reminder. [02:39] wow, did crimsonmane just get kicked? [02:39] poz_: perhaps. [02:39] crimsonmane, did you just get kicked? [02:40] poz_: mhmm. never challenge authority, my friend. [02:40] poz_: you are welcome to join #ubuntu-offtopic [02:40] hello world [02:40] I did not know that was possible here? so there are stricked guild lines to stay on ubuntu suport here? [02:40] !guidelines [02:40] The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [02:40] ok ok [02:41] !guidelines [02:41] !guidelines [02:41] just wanted to link you so you can have a look [02:41] does anyone know if the gnome package installs strictly gnome 3, or does it install gnome 3,2 etc? [02:41] purged the baner on top of youtube shows up vids play but says i need to upgrade after i sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin the baner dissapers but vids on youtube play dose not ask for upgrade anymore no vids play anywhere else im thinking i have 2 versions somewhere [02:41] nothing happens [02:41] poz_: the bot just posted it. it is rate limited [02:41] oh [02:42] anyone know why a netbook would heat up when running linux and not windows? [02:42] iwtiydtym: because the effects you're running. turn off compiz or any other effects system and you'll cool down. [02:42] hylian: its a gnome3 metapackage [02:42] hylian: apt-cache show gnome [02:43] poz_: not really strict. the idea is to keep these lines open for support. the "chatter" gets a bit thick otherwise. i should have kept that in mind, sorry all. [02:43] it has a defaul installation.. i tried xubuntu and even Joli OS...same result on all [02:43] "Support channels are usually very busy places, and we prefer them strictly for support only. " - got it [02:43] Hello everybody how it going? [02:43] pepperjack: thanks, i didn't know about the show flag in apt-cache. that is very useful. [02:43] poz_: IRC is a dictatorship and you have to respect that fact. [02:43] Question - I'm running 12.04 and it seems as if my status bar is missing (time, battery, etc). How can I get it back? [02:44] Where should flash be installed in my machine by default [02:44] iwtiydtym: mine doesn't heat up after turning off effects. go to 2d mode or something? [02:44] veric: in a terminal type "locate flash" without the quotes [02:45] IdleOne: what's the offtopic channel again? #ubuntu-offtopic ? [02:45] there are "flash" files all over the place on my system most are under /usr/src/ [02:45] I am using a a Dell notebook 1012. Also when closing the lid it does not come back. I have to press and hold the power button.. I have tried 2d and its still pretty hot. [02:46] hylian, I found on what is causing my speakers to pop [02:46] iwtiydtym: and you've tried XFCE or LXDE as your desktop environment? these two should be very light-weight and low heat output [02:46] the netbook sitting idle shut down with the heat. Netbook is pretty new so airflow is working [02:46] crimsonmane: correct [02:47] I will load LXDE. that i have not tried [02:47] hylian, there is an "Auto-Mute Mode" disableing makes the popping stop [02:47] irssi died on me. [02:48] IdleOne: what do i do if freenode still shows my normal nick logged in? [02:48] Anyone know how to view ubuntu file system in windows 7? [02:49] hylian_: /msg nickserv help release [02:49] I also have an IBM laptop T60p, core2duo, 4gb ram and heat is also an issue. Only place it works fine is on my desktop. [02:49] poz_: so far as I remember windows ext drivers are very unreliable I wouldn't use em myself on a partition I cared about [02:49] what is better gnash or flash? [02:49] poz_: there are some windows apps for viewing ext 3 and 4 partitions. it's been so long I don't remember them off the top of my head. [02:49] Hi, I am new to linux / ubuntu and need some help setting up [02:49] IdleOne: thank you! [02:49] veric: both are poor... for different reasons. [02:49] I see [02:50] poz_: but thats been years. might be better now [02:50] pepperjack, why not? so it crashes, could I lose data? assuming I am in read only mode... [02:50] poz_: if you're viewing you might be okay, but writing might not be reliable [02:50] i have never used gnash to be honest [02:50] not reassuring but thx [02:50] well i can only be honest on that [02:51] somsip, I might be moving stuff... [02:51] flash has always done what i need it to so gnash has never been needed on my systems [02:51] Should I have used a different file structure? [02:51] yea [02:51] like fat32 or somthing [02:51] did the reinstall work as we hoped? [02:51] hey baldypal back again...attempt 1with unetbootin failed. trying again just for kicks. [02:51] poz_: then you should heed any warnings in the packages that you use that suggest it might not be reliable. I've used something on XP years ago when I still used windows and it didn't break, but that's not to say it won't [02:51] poz_: usually best bet is to make an ntfs partition you use in ubuntu. then you use that as kind of a 'shared' partition [02:51] nah no matter how i install it === hylian is now known as Guest25770 [02:52] and you are using 12.04? === darklord is now known as Guest18801 [02:52] yes [02:53] then I am unsure of what could be causing the issue off the top of my head [02:53] well i have three external hard drivers, a 240 gb ssd with win 7 on it, a 120 gb with ubuntu on it, and a 3tb drive for common storage [02:53] question: how to check if a particular url is requestable? [02:53] Maro848 yes the one straight from the ubuntu website. [02:53] from the info you gave me it should be working but from here i would say that your best bet is to use google veric [02:53] I just want to have access to ubunbu files in win7 as I have access to win7 files in ubuntu [02:53] "veric" ??? [02:53] Just upgraded to 12.04 LTS. Sweet interface! [02:53] baldypal if unetbootin is not working for your usb boot then I am back to saying that something is off on your bios settings [02:54] ok, checking bios again to be safe [02:54] im on that now [02:54] what does this mean http://paste.ubuntu.com/1175059/ [02:54] xckpd7: http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/07/get-http-header-info-from-web-sites-using-curl/ [02:54] yes baldypal [02:55] baldypal be sure that you have saved your changes once you make them, that is a common mistake I see on some systems [02:55] heres the thing. i just rooted my droid x using a linux boot cd and that wored perfect. booted properly just as expected. havent changed bios. [02:55] I put everything as ext3 (on the 120 gb ssd), 1gb as boot, 4 gb as swap, 15 as /, and 100 as /home. I am thinking that maybe 50 as / and 65 as /home ntfs would have been more appropriate for what I am looking for. [02:56] thats odd... perhaps the bios on that come with cd boot first as standard? [02:56] thoughts? [02:56] sorry "veric" didnt realize it was a nickname... [02:56] np [02:56] xckpd7: you mean like in a bash script? just test to see if you can hit a url? maybe: wget -q --spider www.google.com;echo $? so if the echo comes back 0 you're good [02:56] hylian, any ideas.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1175059/ [02:56] poz_: sorry i am dealing with a strange freenode situation. where you talking to me? [02:57] I am talking to anyone with any experience in this matter [02:57] hylian_, see above [02:57] ace2: hmm, perhaps glib isn't installed, i.e. the version it wants isn't installed? [02:58] Is it possible to re-partition this stuff? I have no data to loss on my ubuntu (I just don't want to have to go through reinstalling/ configuring it all again) [02:58] lose* [02:58] maro848 in bios now. boot order is cd, usb, hard disk. i cant help but think it has to be something particular about how to burn this iso... [02:58] poz_: gparted but I have no idea if NTFS is suported [02:58] I see. does ntfs work fine with ubuntu? [02:58] that is possible what settings did you use to burn the disk? [02:59] poz_: repartitioning it, yes. it takes a while. i would use gparted, but don't do this unless you know your stuff. [02:59] whats the one tim eboot button again? f10 was it? [02:59] poz_: yes, AFAIK [02:59] how do I make acroread open chromium when I click open a link in it? (I have chromium-browser.desktop as default) [02:59] I am looking for good performance, but I want my win7 to be able to see it. [02:59] on some machines it is but not on all [02:59] default settings. i just choose the iso file and hit burn button [02:59] some don't have a one time boot menu [02:59] hello all. [02:59] you may have to change the burn speed to x1 i have found that can help [03:00] hylian, I have nothing to lose on my ubuntu ssd (just a few hours of reconfiguring it all) - there is no way to cause perminent damage to the ssd, is there? [03:00] somsip, AFAIK? [03:01] lol, i've got the cd in and the usb in and both were by passed...i'll check that 1x setting [03:01] baldypal: how did UNETBOOTIN go? if the disk isn't burned as bootable, it wont boot. [03:01] poz_: there are some mount flags to add as options in /etc/fstab to decrease unnecessary writes but as far as repartitioning or starting over no you wont break anything [03:01] well not sure how that could be [03:01] ace2: it looks like glib is only up to 2.0.0 on ubuntu 12.04. it looks like this may be an uphill battle. you would probably have to update glib to 2.0.3 to update xchat. and then hope nothing else needs updating. [03:01] i us unetbootin to create a live usb. there i didnt see a "burn as boot" or a "burn to cd" options [03:02] baldypal: it's auto [03:02] Thanks pepperjack [03:02] alright guys I must leave, gotta work in the morning [03:02] poz_: no. solid state drives work very well with ext4. is that what you where going to use? [03:02] thanks for the assistance maro848 [03:03] crimsonmane, got a minute or a link to walk e through unetbootin? [03:03] hylian, No, I want to change my / (root) part to 50 gb and my /home to 65 gb as ntfs (or anything else that will work well and let my win7 see it) [03:04] hylian, but I want my root as ext3 (or 4, whatever it already is) [03:04] baldypal: there's two radio buttons for unetbootin. one for "download the ISO for me" (that's the top one) and "i already have the iso" (the bottom one) ... you put in your USB stick or CD BEFORE running unetbootin. select the device to write to, and continue [03:04] poz_: ahh, yes. i use ntfs myself. it works well. i use my ntfs partition as a backup section for that purpose. ubnutu doesn't automatically mount ntfs partitions though. just keep it in mind. [03:05] brb [03:05] poz_, seeing windows from linux is easy, the general consensus if you want to share from linux to windows is a shared ntfs. [03:05] poz_: As Far As I Know. Always best to do research yourself to make sure you get good advice on here [03:05] ./leave [03:05] ./quit [03:05] i've got a cd in but cd isnt a choice in the type dropdown.or would harddisk really mean cd in this case? [03:05] any one have an acer one 722 ? [03:06] baldypal: you cd drive is deceased and needs replaced [03:06] somsip, I have did some research, but now it is down to implementation and there are a few details that are hard to find. [03:06] !anyone | homecable [03:06] homecable: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [03:07] i dont really think that is the case. but i appreciate the ideas and troubleshooting. brand new CPU and CD as of last december and its never failed me on anything else [03:07] are there other tools like unetbootin for linux? [03:07] wilee-nilee: thats kinda what I plan to do... can I set that shared nrfs as the /home? [03:07] !info unetbootin [03:07] unetbootin (source: unetbootin): installer of Linux/BSD distributions to a partition or USB drive. In component universe, is optional. Version 565-3 (precise), package size 282 kB, installed size 794 kB [03:07] i'm going through unetbootin one more time [03:08] hylian, does that mean that I can not set it as /home, it just has to be a blank partition? [03:08] poz_, you wont be able to run your home from a ntfs in linux, only the files of what you want to share should be there like music...etc [03:08] I see [03:08] ah BEFORE running unetbootin....it wasnt in BEFORE [03:08] rafaelsoaresbr: LILO i think [03:08] or LILI [03:08] I'm trying to configure encrypted raid devices. I have three HDs, with unencrypted /boot partitions, in RAID-1 and three with encrypted partitions in RAID5. They have LVM on them, with an LVM group for both swap and /. When i try to boot the machine however, it hangs with the BIOS trying to load the OS. Any ideas? [03:08] rafaelsoaresbr: sorry didn't notice the "like". with modern ubuntu you can cat (or dd) the iso, which is hybrid cd/usb, directly to USB. [03:08] when I save somthing to the desktop in ubuntu, it saves it to the home. correct? [03:08] poz_: yes [03:09] /home/username/Desktop\ [03:09] without the \ [03:09] that was a typo [03:09] poz_, Yes there is a desktop icon in home. [03:09] how can I view my disk drive? [03:09] is there a file type i can set as /home such that I can see it in win7? (not as the actual desktop, but as a drive...) [03:09] Dasberry: "mount" or "sudo fdisk -l" [03:09] zykotick9: thank you [03:10] poz_: recommendation is to create an extra partition [03:10] Do I even need a /home? [03:10] crimsonmane, zykotick9: thanks [03:10] poz_, that is really old school there are drivers that will read a ext2 or ext3 supposedly, personally I would not want my linux in less than a ext3, and would not rely on a outdated driver to read it from windows. [03:11] poz_: it sounds like what you want is a fileserver. Tell me about your setup and i'll help you more. [03:11] poz_, Your not the first to want this you have to realize, if it was click and go it would be all over the net. [03:12] I can see a 3tb drive as well as my win7 partition (playing music off it right now) so I dont really need another specific shared partition. What I want is the convenience of just putting files where ever and being able to access them [03:12] wheres the best place to down unetbootin from? [03:12] baldypal, from unetbootin [03:12] baldypal: for what OS? [03:13] I'm trying to configure encrypted raid devices. I have three HDs, with unencrypted /boot partitions, in RAID-1 and three with encrypted partitions in RAID5. They have LVM on them, with an LVM group for both swap and /. When i try to boot the machine however, it hangs with the BIOS trying to load the OS. Any ideas? [03:13] Thanks wilee-nilee. I think you are right. What I am looking for may not be available yet... [03:13] poz_: sorry man, freenode issues again. [03:13] lol its ok hylian, I am not even sure what freenode [03:13] is [03:13] baldypal: it's in the repo i thought. anyway it's also on sourceforge [03:13] poz_, use your terabyte drive and set up a rsync cron to link the file you want shared [03:14] poz_: you are on #ubuntu, which is on irc.freenode.org. [03:14] poz_: freenode is the server hosting the ubuntu channel you're currently talking in [03:14] How can I redirect my downloads so they save onto my HDD rather than my SSD? [03:14] oooh, snazzy [03:14] Dasberry, in the browser [03:14] ok, thats the one i'm working with. off the sourceforge site. looks like 578...that must be a version [03:14] Hey folks. interesting situation: have latest stable ubuntu running on an Inspiron 530 with bluetooth built in. keyboard and mouse work, even though the gnome settings menu says I have no bluetooth devices. Any one know what's up with that? [03:14] in the browser? [03:14] Dasberry: what are you using to download with? firefox, chrome? [03:15] I am using firefox [03:15] Dasberry, if anthother app like a torrent app in its settings [03:15] Dasberry, in the preferences first tab is a download destination [03:16] sync software can get tedious and cause a lot of unwanted duplicates as well as writes (which I want to reduce on my ssd's) [03:16] Dasberry: in firefox it is under edit>prefernces> and then the option is in the general tab. it will say save to: downloads. change "downloads" to what you desire. [03:16] aaah ok. I just found it. Thank you very much [03:16] poz_, rsync will check a file and only move what you want. [03:16] hylian: thank you [03:16] Dasberry: no problem. :) [03:17] poz_, if set up correctly [03:17] Thank you for your suggestion wilee-nilee, but I dont think it is what I am looking for [03:17] Hi! [03:17] I'm just making the switch to linux today :) Spent 2 days trying to fix problems I've had with Windows7 inculding fresh installs [03:17] Any devs of ubuntu.com here? [03:17] goodnight, all. I am fried. [03:17] I appreciate your advice though [03:18] Umeaboy, they don't hangout here and probably if here admit it. [03:18] wont* [03:18] wilee-nilee: Wher can I find them? [03:18] Where [03:19] if you got something to say to the devs, say in it the forums [03:19] OK. [03:19] lol why would the dev stay away from here or not admit it? [03:19] devs* [03:19] Umeaboy, I don't think you can just get a hold off, pick your app and find the team probably. [03:19] they must know what they are doing to do such a good job [03:20] ok, i'm going to try the direct download option. i shouldbe choosing 12.4_live right? [03:20] OK. [03:20] yeah [03:20] poz_, Easy guess think about it, every yahoo would be here with their own idea of reality. [03:20] to tell them. [03:21] aight. looks like that will take a while. i appreciate the help crimsonmane. i'm gonna let that ride and come back to finish tomorrow. [03:21] poz_, go to the ##Windows channel no MS developers there either. [03:21] haha yeah, but I am sure they would get some good ideas and they are the ones that know how to best implement it.\ [03:21] this place is not a place for top-of-the-food-chain types [03:21] this is the coffee shop [03:22] windows developed by microsoft. they are a company and have their own place to comunicate with each other [03:22] ubuntu is developed by people everywhere, right? [03:22] no [03:22] ubuntu is developed by canonical [03:22] which is in california if i'm not mistaken [03:22] oh [03:23] but the tools ubuntu/canonical uses, yes those are developed by volunteers around the world [03:23] poz_, some what yes but it goes through a chain of command to be ubuntu implemented, no different than any other OS provider, MS is done worldwide as well. [03:23] canonical wants home users to have an awesome operating system [03:23] canonical charges money for support [03:24] canonical's "job" is converting enterprise business to linux (ubuntu) [03:24] what is some cli only equivalent of system monitor? [03:24] oooh i see [03:24] i need to see how much free/used ram/cpu i have [03:24] i wish to hades that my company would call canonical and put a project together [03:24] drag0nius: top [03:25] or something [03:25] drag0nius: "free" [03:25] I think the best way to get linux to businesses is for software developers to start getting their software compatible with linux [03:26] drag0nius: real answer "htop" [03:26] poz_: there's no money in that [03:27] that's the problem. and we're off topic (gestapo FTW) [03:27] Sorry.. so back on topic... what is the /home used for? [03:27] htop made it, ty [03:27] i have 3 gb used already... [03:28] ~~http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canonical_Ltd. [03:28] poz_: that's where you put your personal junk [03:28] poz_: each user on your system needs a /home [03:29] I have no personal junk on ubuntu, why are 3 gb being used? I just installed it a few days ago and only used it like once or twice since then... [03:29] poz_: there is no registry or HKCU or anything. everything is a config file and your config files are in /home. for instance do a find /home/$USER in terminal note all those files starting with a dot they're hidden config files [03:30] Can I ask a noob question? [03:30] My system (not the current one, but the desktop right beside me) gave a Kernel Panic out of nowhere (has never happened before), so I did the only thing I could do -- shut it off. Upon starting the system back up again, I am brought to a fullscreen terminal prompt that states that the partition could not be found, and the input line in the prompt is prefixed with "grub rescue>", so it would seem as though GRUB has auto-started itself i [03:30] nto rescue mode. Not sure where to even begin -- any suggestions? [03:30] I see [03:31] NinjaGirl: you can, but you're not supposed to ask permission [03:31] NinjaGirl: thats kind of what this channel is for :) [03:31] so what is the difference, functionally, between ls -all and ls -la ? [03:32] NinjaGirl: man ls [03:32] you call that a noob question? i only knew about "ls -a"... guess i'm the noob [03:33] * crimsonmane only knows the answers to noob questions [03:33] NinjaGirl: ls -all isnt actuall "all" its ls -a and -l and -l ls --all is just another way of typing ls -a [03:33] NinjaGirl: if youre not afraid of the man page "man ls" will show you [03:33] Oh ok [03:33] this app wants portaudio19, another wants libportaudio [03:33] in ubuntu 12.04 [03:33] ok man ls, I've been doing man -k ls [03:34] ty ty [03:34] but both cant be installed at the same time [03:34] what do i do [03:34] NinjaGirl: man -k is a way of searching all man pages. handy for finding a command. [03:34] NinjaGirl: but doesnt give you any info other than the name of the command really [03:34] So if I want to change to size of my partitions on my ssd using gpart. how would I do it? [03:35] It says I can not do it if it is in use [03:35] poz_: you have to use a livecd. gparted cannot work on partitions that are mounted so you cant run it on a partition your OS is using [03:35] poz_: correct. you'd have to use a livecd === nycsd is now known as barf [03:35] okay [03:36] wow, test [03:36] [03:36] i mean isn't using [03:36] will I lose any data or will it just reassign empty space? I am concered about the installs I have on my root partition [03:37] concerned* [03:37] gparted can resize partitions so no data loss. if you just want to start over you could manually partition using the ubuntu install cd which deletes and adds partitions but doesnt resize existing [03:38] I dont want to start over because it will take a few hours to reconfigure all of the settings I have put in place [03:39] or I dont know the installcd probably has gparted on it too. but the installer itself cant resize only delete/create [03:39] i think i will run the cd i used to install it as a live cd and use gpart to resize them [03:39] hi [03:39] Thanks pepperjack [03:40] I will keep that in mind to make sure I dont do anything dumb [03:40] poz_: good luck :) [03:40] can someone explain this message to me? [03:40] anyways I am out for the night [03:40] E: Malformed status line, no 2nd word [03:40] E: Error occurred while processing pulseaudio-module-x11 (UsePackage1) [03:40] E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status [03:40] good night everyone!

[03:41] barf, check your program settings it is prob configured to do that [03:42] chspurgeon: if you open a terminal and type this eactly it might fix it: sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/status-old /var/lib/dpkg/status [03:42] chspurgeon: basically the status file might be hosed. there is a backup calld status-old though [03:42] ace2 what settings do I check ? [03:43] pepperjack: that seemed to have done it. Thank you! [03:43] np [03:45] Hello [03:45] NinjaGirl: i imagine if the windows partition was resized then there might be an issue or maybe chkdisk running once will fix it. dual booting itself should be fine but if it asked you if you wanted to "install alongside linux" or whatever we say then it had to resize the windows partition and it's remotely possible something bad happened [03:46] I need help with OpenVPN setup on Ubuntu 10.04 === scottas is now known as zz_scottas [03:46] Anyone I could get help from? [03:46] it did resize, and I can boot into windows even if I cancel the chkdsk [03:46] NinjaGirl: have you let it run it's course just once? [03:47] chkdisk I mean. it might just need to do that and then it's fine [03:47] I haven't let it run the chkdsk because of the drive size, i need my computer now :( [03:47] oh well, thanks [03:47] NinjaGirl: ok. I'm sure it just sees the change and needs to run once. unlikely anything is actuall wrong [03:47] My system (not the current one, but the desktop right beside me) gave a Kernel Panic out of nowhere (has never happened before), so I did the only thing I could do -- shut it off. Upon starting the system back up again, I am brought to a fullscreen terminal prompt that states that the partition could not be found, and the input line in the prompt is prefixed with "grub rescue>", so it would seem as though GRUB has auto-started itself i [03:47] nto rescue mode. Not sure where to even begin -- any suggestions? === AFKMunks is now known as chamunks [03:50] PrettyGood Privacy (pgp) knows primary keys and secondary keys. How can I derive a secondary key from a primary key? [03:50] Robr3rd: first thing I'd do is a livecd and then sudo fdisk -l to make sure my partition table is intact [03:51] Robr3rd: I'm afraid I dont have enough exp with grub2 to offer any help from the rescue shell [03:52] did this "make" work for the bz2 dir.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1175118/ [03:52] pepperjack: Currently waiting for the LiveCD to finish booting to check just that. === pehden is now known as Pehdens-name-is- === Pehdens-name-is- is now known as pehde === pehde is now known as pehden === chamunks is now known as AFKMunks [03:56] ace2: often what I'll do instead of say ./configure is specify a directory in my /home for it to be installed. for instance 1. mkdir ~/local 2. ./configure --prefix=/home/pepperjack/local since you had a permissions error what if you try that first you can always delete ~/local with no ill effects [03:57] pepperjack: Checked with "sudo fdisk -l" (and gParted) to discover that the only partition available to the system currently is the USB stick (LiveCD), itself. None of the hard drive partitions were discovered. [03:58] Robr3rd: it might not be the end of the world there are partition recovery disks you can download. then you'd only need to re-run the grub install command [03:58] how can i get the grub menu at boot, so i can select a previous kernel? [03:59] is there a hot key to press? [03:59] esc i believe is still correct for grub2. i only use grub so not sure [03:59] PRabyte: hold shift [04:00] positive? i am remote helping a buddy but i can see jack, broken system. [04:01] how about esc? [04:01] would it be possible to upgrade xchat 2.8.6 to 2.8.8 using the terminal? [04:02] i have the bz2 for 2.8.8 but no luck in the making :) [04:02] lsv: you here? [04:02] pepperjack: So, for instance, I just grab one from the Interwebz, pop it into the "problem system", and it attempts to recover the lost partitions. After that, I reinstall GRUB, and it (ideally) "automagically" finds them again? [04:03] ideally. even if it works I'd be tempted just to backup the data and install a new hard disk. i dont know if i could trust the hd again [04:04] i keep getting a random system program error. what is that about? [04:07] how would I go about backing up ubuntu and restoring it on a new hDD?

Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [04:13] is there any other option (other than -R) with ls to list subdirectories. I've man ls and don't see anything???? [04:13] ebs512_: You have made a usb install. What have you installed using an usb stick? [04:13] ninja you can install "tree" and use it, i find it much better than ls [04:14] do you have to actually install password from the software center to change the users password? [04:14] it displays subfolders/files in a tree view [04:14] NinjaGirl: what are you trying to achieve? [04:14] Newtoubuntu have you tried sudo passwd [04:14] Newtoubuntu: No. [04:14] I put ubuntu 12.04 on the usb, it worked on my hp desktop but when I attempt to install ubuntu it reboots the laptop, this laptop has an i5 processor and intel hd 4000 graphics card [04:14] luftikuss, no, hence the nickname.

Tried gripping for it in the arp table of the router, but no luck there either [05:03] hi all, i just upgrade to ubuntu 12.04 from cd, i have some problem now, my installed application are removed :( , when i wanna dl and install from software center it say me check internet connection but i am connect now :(... what should i do?? please [05:03] s/gripping/greping/ [05:03] lickalott, look at this one it is correct one, i scrolled to far back on the other one.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1175168/ [05:03] protoCall7, its been a while since i played but i think wireshark can filter by mac [05:04] lidar: it can, however since they are DHCP requests, the source addr and dest addr are 0.0.0.0/255.255.255.255 [05:04] I get the funny feeling that they are probably coming from machines with dual port NIC's, where we have one nic configured, and the other one isn't [05:05] centooos: It sounds like you did a re-install (installing a newer version) rather than what would normally be called an "upgrade". [05:05] centooos: Please pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get update". [05:06] anyone else with an intel video card having issues installing 12.04 on a laptop? [05:06] lidar: the only clue i got out of wireshark was that the mac belongs to a super micro machine, but that covers 3/4 of the network [05:06] ace2 what happened after you apt-get install xhcat? did you try and run it? [05:06] protoCall7 you could use p0f to fingerprint the OS [05:06] ebs512_: I did not have issues. [05:06] protoCall7, would it be feasable to temporarily setup a dhpcd so that it recieves a ip .. do you run ssh vnc ect. so after you assighned it a ip you could connect and sort out which one it is ? [05:07] thats really weird luftikuss [05:07] this laptop is brand new, it just arrived in the mail today [05:07] lickalott, yeah it does work but their are some bugs i would like to get rid of [05:07] senyb, I can already tell you its a Debian box. Everything is squeeze except for about 3 machines that are the beginning of a migration to ubuntu across the farm, and the mac's don't belong to any of those three [05:07] and 2.8.8 should take care of them [05:08] lidar: that might not be a bad idea, I think i'll give dhcpd a pool of 254 addresses in an unused segment of the network and see what grabs them… Thanks for the help! [05:08] lickalott, nvr was very good @ ./config make stuff [05:08] !elaborate | ebs512_ [05:08] ebs512_: Please elaborate, your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [05:09] protocall: you would need to setup a dummy dhcp server to isolate it any further all that you can know now is the mac/ and its on the same broadcast domain (your 10.40.0.0/16 net) there isnt really anything else that you could probe on the client side untill that thing pulls an ip [05:09] unable to start the GUI by default on ubuntu 11.04. and one can tell me how to solve this [05:09] i wasn't either. A lot of the sucess of building like that depends on the libraries that it is looking for [05:10] lickalott, i am in /# fyi [05:10] my laptop is an hp g7 2124-nr it has 640gb hdd 6gb memory intel hd 4000 graphics card and i5-3210M intel processor [05:11] I can boot into temporary ubuntu but as soon as I click next on installing on the side of windows 7 it goes to a black screen with some code real fast and reboots [05:11] pritesh, if you press alt control F2 do you get a login prompt ? [05:11] pritesh: Please have a look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log for errors (EE) and report them here.

[05:15] protoCall7, heheh might be the neighbors! [05:15] i thought skype was part of bitlbee in 12.04? how come i can't connect to it :( [05:15] protoCall7, do you have a mixture of operating sytems that os detection with nmap would narrow the search the down ? [05:15] My system is Xubuntu 12.04 x64. After updated to newest kernel, I found my login dialog windows can not aligned to center. Is it a bug? I want to know how to fix it. [05:16] protocall7: do you have it in your arp now? can you ping / traceroute ... whats the latency how many hops [05:16] pritesh, look at what luftikuss typed cat /var/log/Xorg---- | less [05:17] pritesh, that will let you view the error [05:18] protoCall7, or even easier maybe your leases will contain a host name === james is now known as Guest26895 [05:23] how do i make it so the dependency is installed http://paste.ubuntu.com/1175190/ [05:23] I installed Virtualbox from the Ubuntu Software Center and it says " Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) Component: Machine Interface: IMachine {5eaa9319-62fc-4b0a-843c-0cb1940f8a91}" === AndIrc_ is now known as IBM1234 [05:24] sudo dpkg-reconfigure virtualbox-dkmssudo dpkg-reconfigure virtualbox didn't work [05:24] *didn't fix anything [05:25] ace2 sudo apt-get install libbonobo2-dev [05:25] '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' [05:25] lol [05:25] wbwbwbwbwb http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/05/install-virtualbox-4-1-14-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/ [05:26] did I offend? ace2 [05:26] alright i'll try this tutorial :P [05:27] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/EjmqFrmz sory for late, u remember my question?

[05:28] lickalott: Why doesn't the VirtualBox in the Ubuntu Software Repository work? [05:28] lickalott: I'm installing this one now. Thanks. [05:29] idk [05:29] mp [05:29] np [05:29] ace2, if you try installing that popt package what happens ? [05:29] hello guys, how can I make afolder writable by all user [05:29] hello im using xubuntu 12.04 and windows 7 dual boot i want to restore dell factory reset.. will it delete my ubuntu partition or mess up my grub bootloader?? [05:29] !chmod [05:29] An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [05:29] ignore * dcc [05:29] d8bhatta google "user permissions ubuntu" [05:30] pratham, the boot loader yes the ubuntu install now [05:30] or what lidar said [05:30] d8bhatta, chmod 777 /your/folder [05:30] * Pradyumna [05:30] lidar, are those your bots? [05:30] should i uninstall grub before doing windows recovery ?? [05:30] lickalott, no they are the official ubuntu ones [05:30] wondering if anyone has seen this issue before: I have 3 drives mounted through fstab and shared out via NFS through exports. Im also sharing one of the drive out via apache. After the apache installation and configuration, I can't "map network drive"(nfs) the one drive that is shared out on apache [05:30] isacking: I already did this, what about ownership? [05:31] !chown > d8bhatta [05:31] d8bhatta, please see my private message [05:31] lickalott probably a file locking issue [05:31] !, as in it's tied to the ubuntu. or are there limitations? [05:32] with apache you mean? senyb [05:32] d8bhatta, the best way would be to make the fil(s) owned by a group .. then add whom needed access to that group [05:32] Jordan_U, did u get it? :( plzz [05:32] should i restore the windows bootloader before using dell factory reset ?? [05:32] centooos1: Do you use some type of proxy? [05:32] will it delete my ubuntu partion too?? [05:32] pratham: lidar: Yes, it's very likely that a factory reset will wipe your entire drive and all data on it. [05:32] Jordan_U, i used autoproxy before, but now it does not work at all. [05:33] lickalott yeah if you have any open file locks the nfs bind mount would probably fail [05:33] centooos1: How did you install autoproxy? [05:33] well...thats ghey [05:33] try nfsing first then see if you can get apache to mount whatever stores it needs via nfs to localhost [05:33] lickalott: Please don't use "gay" as an epithet. [05:33] what about the bootloader?? i have grub should i restore windows bootloader before doing a factory reset?? [05:33] Jordan_U, my factory reset doesnt it just formats windows and wipes out the boot loader .. use a usb stick to fix grub and im good to go [05:33] Does anybody have suggestions on (free) programs that can recover data from hard disks? [05:33] Jordan_U, i installed it before, its an add-ones on my firefox [05:34] Jordan_U, its off now [05:34] d8bhatta: chmod 777 can let any users write your folder. If that is what you need, you need not to do anything about ownership [05:34] are there any good applications that would permit me to draw together with someone else over a network? [05:34] lidar: Different factory resets work different ways. There are some that simply re-image the drive. [05:34] im using dell factory reset [05:34] Robr3rd, usually you can just mount the windows drive and copy files off .. windows may not run but the data is still there f [05:34] centooos1: How did you install autoproxy? [05:35] lickalott: it's not locks make sure your files don't get trashed [05:35] lidar: Problem is, it's the only HDD in the system. [05:35] pratham, just be careful about what partittions/sizes your wiping out [05:35] Robr3rd, use a live cd / usb stick [05:35] Jordan_U, i cant remember, its for some month ago, maybe terminal or maye from mozila site :( [05:36] lidar: I tried running an Ubuntu LiveCD and checked "sudo fdisk -l" / gParted, and the HDD is not even detected. In fact, the BIOS doesn't even notice that there's anything there. [05:36] Robr3rd what FS are you trying to recover ? FAT NTFS EXT2/3/4 ? [05:36] centooos1: Clearly you have some type of proxy setup outside of just Firefox. Do you know anything about this? [05:37] im wiping the windows partition c:\ but my question is " should i uninstall grub and restore windows bootloader beforing wiping??" [05:37] senyb: Any. :) Preferably my NTFS partition, although I would also like to grab a few things from ext3 (or whatever the Ubuntu 12.04 default is) if at all possible. [05:37] Jordan_U, i change my proxy setting at synoptic and network proxy, but after upgrade to 12.04 it does not work again. it can use tor proxy, and some others in its list [05:37] Rob3rd wait ... your hdd not detected ... even in bios ... that's a check cables or else send it to drivesavers situation [05:38] Robr3rd: Please pastebin the output of "ls -l /dev/disk/by-path/" "sudo parted -l" and "dmesg". [05:38] gonna add that particular drive to smb and see if i get the same issue. if not, problem solved, if so.....may trash apache [05:38] pratham, the windows reinstall will replace grub .. so there is no benifit to replacing it twice [05:38] senyb: Cables are all connected. I also tried switching it from Drive0 to Drive1 and it still was not connected. It just sits there and clicks at me. [05:38] Does anyone how to boot WinPE iso image file by GRUB2? [05:39] Jordan_U: From a LiveCD, I assume, yes? [05:39] oh ok [05:39] isacking: Windows iso files aren't loop bootable. No bootloader can boot an iso which isn't designed to be loop booted. [05:39] Robr3rd yea sounds bad , there are some gimmicky things you could try like freezing it or banging it against a solid surface ... [05:40] sacking : you need to chainload [05:40] Robr3rd: If you're getting a grub rescue shell, and you really only have one HD in the computer at the time, then clearly the BIOS is "seeing" (and successfully reading from) the hard drive. [05:40] senyb: Yeah, I've read of such things, but while banging apparently works for some, I'd rather go through everything else, BEFORE I risk completely wrecking it by bumping it too hard/in the wrong way [05:40] senyb: Chainloading won't help in any way. [05:41] Jordan_U: It is no longer booting to grub rescue shell. For some unexplainable reason, it went from grub rescue (which was good news) to being completely oblivious [05:41] Robr3rd: Sounds like the drive has simply failed then. Hopefully you have good backups. [05:42] Robr3rd I wouldn't boot from that bad drive, you don't want to make any more writes ... if you can get a live cd there are somethings to try [05:43] Jordan_U: I mean, honestly, I have good *enough* backups between Ubuntu One, Google Drive, and periodic manual backups kept in my safe, but obviously full access would be preferable. :) [05:43] Robr3rd, its well worth trying the freezer/strange drops ect. ect. those things do help recover data sometimes .. [05:43] senyb: Yeah, the LiveCd is almost done booting [05:44] ok, once you get it up do a sudo fdisk -l [05:44] Jordan_U: I find grub4dos can load window PE iso [05:44] Robr3rd: If you can figure out how to get the drive to show up at all, GNU ddrescue (*not* dd_rescue) is a good tool for recovering all the data from it (by creating a full disk image, if you have the room for that). [05:45] isacking: You've actually booted it successfully, with Windows booting completely? [05:46] Jordan_U, i just change proxy setting to non proxy and my download problem is solved, [05:47] is virus protection necessary in ubuntu? [05:47] !virus | Newtoubuntu [05:47] Newtoubuntu: 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 [05:48] how can I mount a data cd in linux ? is that like this ? mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom ? [05:48] this is excellent. i installed an amazing mac theme. so happy [05:49] kanupatar its something like mount -t loop -o iso9660 /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom [05:49] kanupatar: sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom [05:49] oh [05:49] right [05:49] senyb: You don't want -o loop except when loop mounting a file. [05:49] * senyb ducks [05:49] have you tried to just cd /media/cdrom; ls? [05:50] kanupatar: And as lickalott is aluding to, CD's should mount automatically. [05:50] Jordan_U you scared him off [05:51] but data cd is 9660 format ? [05:51] have you tried to just cd /media/cdrom; ls? === gartral|Away is now known as gartral === n is now known as Guest6465 [05:55] Newtoubuntu: that is an over simplification, malware is significantly less common under unix like systems but it does exist. A vast majority of people run linux without AV but that doesn't mean there is never any benefit to it. You should decide based on how you will be using the machine. === ubuntu is now known as Guest94551 [05:56] zIz: thanks for the tip [05:57] Newtoubuntu, "most" people that run antivirus on linux are people scanning mail servers/file servers for viruses that affect windows computers in a mixed netowrk enviroment [05:57] What is a good tool to monitor outgoing traffic - 12.04? got a problem with google blocking access to some tools saying that there is automated traffic being sent. I am sure this is rubbish, but need to be positive. [05:57] !av > Newtoubuntu [05:57] Newtoubuntu, please see my private message [05:58] opalepatrick, snort ? [05:58] nice! :) === vjn__ is now known as vjn [05:59] Jordan_U: ""sudo parted -l" -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1175211 ||| "dmesg" -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1175212 [06:00] not seen that before lidar, thanks. That OK for detecting outgoing? Saw that it was intrusion protector. Will read more :-) Oh and just one desktop? [06:00] Jordan_U: This is from LiveUSB Ubuntu 12.04 -- Only devices hooked up to the system are wireless keyboard/mouse, VGA monitor, and Ethernet. (and of course USB for LiveCD) [06:01] Robr3rd, what size is your drive that is showing only 4gig [06:02] lidar: That 4GB would be the LiveUSB stick. The HDD is something around 150GB [06:03] I am REALLY learning to love this OS. Thanks again to all who helped me! [06:03] UBUNTU ROCKS === fxstar is now known as fxstarWork [06:04] Robr3rd, your on a desktop that you can open gparted ? [06:04] isacking: If the WinPXE iso file can really be booted by GRUB4DOS (successfully, with Windows actually working) you can achieve the same with Syslinux's memdisk (used through grub2): http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/MEMDISK#GRUB2 . [06:05] so if i made a partiton for ubuntu is that where my data saves on [06:06] just the normal install i mean [06:08] Firefox just got updated to version 15, but it turns out that one addon I use is incompatible. Is there a way for me to reverse to version 14.0.1 until the addon is fixed? [06:08] Newtoubuntu you can even make a separate /home partition for your personal files and settings [06:08] Newtoubuntu, can you go to system setting>sound and see if on t' [06:09] Pedrolito, there is a app called nightly tester tools in the addons, you might see if it frees the addon [06:09] if on the last tab or so you have firefox with alsa plugin ? [06:09] I have a question why does it only say install ubuntu inside windows 7 instead of alongside it? [06:10] virtual box [06:10] MonkeyDust, the gb is chose for the install, was that for the boot only or do my files save on that partition by default [06:10] im up to get an all in one hp or lenovo or compaq. how good they work with ubuntu??? [06:10] wilee-nilee, it doesn't work, the addon is really broken by firefox 15. The authors are working on it [06:10] the GB i chose** [06:10] Newtoubuntu what's the GB, if not gigabyte? [06:11] Pedrolito, Ah, I have synaptic installed so I would just remove 15 and install 14.0.1, and then lock it. [06:12] wilee-nilee, 14.0.1 will be available as an option? Cause it's not available to me in synaptic at the moment [06:12] MonkeyDust, yeah gigabyte [06:12] this OS is just getting better and better. i am nearly blown away [06:13] Newtoubuntu: is this your first go with linux ? [06:14] LiDaR, yes due to hell and back with the intel graphics issue. i finally got it up and running (still cant solve my backlight problem) and have been on it for a few days now. [06:14] Pedrolito, mine neither, my mistake thought it would be there. [06:14] Newtoubuntu: screen brightness ? [06:15] wilee-nilee, darn, yeah, the only option there is is to downgrade to 11 [06:15] LiDaR, yeah. i suppose so many on here havnt heard of these issues cause tehy simply arnt having them. the brightness meter shows up but the actual light does not alter. [06:15] I created liveusb using dd for crunchbang in ubuntu, I have 7.5 GB for free space, but unable to create new partition using gparted in 7.5 GB space [06:16] Pedrolito would you downgrade a complete OS because of 1 module in 1 app? [06:16] Newtoubuntu: i had that before on a acer laptop [06:16] LiDaR, ive tried a few workarounds with no luck [06:16] LiDaR: Yes. Shows the same info seen on sudo fdisk -l -- At this point, I'm throwing in the towel. Once I get another HDD I'm goign to try the banging and freezing techniques, but until then it doesn't make any sense to try them because I won't have anywhere to put the data. For future reference, though, what are the guidelines for banging it and freezing it? As in, bang it on startup or before startup, etc. And how long to wait while [06:16] it's frozen before booting. (or is there not a very well-established criteria for these pseudo-solutions?) [06:17] Robr3rd: you said you changed it be master 2 which would make the big drive /dev/sdb right ? [06:17] MonkeyDust, what do you mean? I'm saying the only option is to downgrade firefox to version 11.0.1 [06:18] *the only option offered* [06:18] shiftingcontrol_: If Crunchbang's iso file didn't contain a partition table, which sounds like the case, then you can't create any partitions and thus can't add any other filesystems on the drive (until you get rid of Crunchbang). [06:18] Does CTRL + ALT + T open the terminal in almost all versions of Ubuntu? [06:18] Newtoubuntu: i remebr i had to echo a value into some strange udev folder if i remebr correctly [06:18] so is there a way to run windows programs on ubuntu? [06:19] Newtoubuntu it's called wine [06:19] Newtoubuntu: seamless rdp with virtualbox is the best if your computer can handle it [06:19] Jordan_U, oh, I am unable wipe the entire disk [06:19] well actually, I just found archive packages of firefox 14 on launchpad, hopefully that will work [06:19] if it required nuts, my laptop dont have it xD [06:20] Newtoubuntu: read up about it nice how to on ubuntu forum [06:20] MonkeyDust, awesome. ive use wine with mac. ubuntus will be 3 times better :) [06:21] Is it possible to collect a list of files that were modified or created outside of APT? [06:22] ha, pretty cool, the archive .deb files from launchpad worked! [06:23] shiftingcontrol_: What do you mean by "unable"? [06:23] Jordan_U, When I right click on usb in nautilus I dont get the option to format [06:24] shiftingcontrol_: That's normal. Create a partition table on the drive using GParted. [06:25] shiftingcontrol_: For future reference, "format" is a very ambiguous term which can refer to many different operations. [06:25] So there are different "launchers", if you will, like android on here? [06:26] Jordan_U, When I create a new partion using device -> create a new partition , I get unable to create partition, what is the exact term between ? [06:26] Anyone know how to move an existing partition to the front or end of the hard drive? [06:26] shiftingcontrol_: What is the exact error message? (give a screenshot if needed). [06:26] does anyone know of an irc channel that would know about the 'components' of [06:26] a computer [06:26] !screenshot | shiftingcontrol_ [06:26] shiftingcontrol_: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button.

[06:45] nate_ that was just a bot [06:45] !bot > nate__ [06:45] nate__, please see my private message [06:46] ah got it, it was a bot [06:47] !gender [06:47] yes, I can confirm I am a female bot :) [06:47] shiftingcontrol_: Creating a new partition table effectively wipes the drive (which GParted warns you before allowing you to do it). That's why you can't see crunchbang any more. What do you mean by "the partition is read only"? In the future please describe the symptoms like "when I try to create a new file by doing X I see error message Y". [06:48] Jordan_U, well after creating a new partition and tried to create a folder, I get a error message saying filesystem is read only and gparted didn't ask read/write file system permission [06:49] tried to install it via the command given and it says unable to access dpkg status area: Read-only file system [06:49] shiftingcontrol_: What fileystem does the partition contain? [06:49] Hi [06:49] I am not able to update -> $ sudo apt-get update [sudo] password for murthy: 0% [Waiting for headers] [Waiting for headers] [Waiting for headers] [06:49] it just keeps hanging like that [06:50] Jordan_U, File system is fat32, do I need to manage flags ? [06:51] vectorshelve_: do you need to configure a proxy to get to the internet? [06:52] Hi I need help with Package manager, I'm using ubuntu 12.04 I tried to uninstall firefox (don't remember why :P ) fallowed an tutorial got stuck closed the tutorial (I can't find it again) and end up with error in package manager, now I'm unable to do updates or new installs and I need them! I run apt-get install -f and received the error: Errors where encountered when processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/firefox_15.0+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1_i386.deb [06:52] timfrost: it is configured... and it suddenly started behaving like this [06:52] ubottu, screenshoot [06:52] vectorshelve_: is it correct in file /etc/apt/apt.conf? [06:53] shiftingcontrol_: I have no idea what you mean by "manage flags". Please pastebin the output of "mount" and "dmesg". [06:53] Jordan_U, http://imagebin.org/226407 [06:55] shiftingcontrol_: That isn't GParted. That's Palimpsest. [06:55] timfrost: /etc/apt/apt.conf is a directory [06:56] also I have another error msg : error: BrokenCount>0 [06:56] Jordan_U, https://gist.github.com/3523522 [06:56] Jordan_U, Palimpset ? [06:56] can anyone help? [06:57] Anyone available to help me fix a corrupted NTFS partition? Non-bootable [06:57] nate_ : whatcha need? [06:57] shiftingcontrol_: Palimpsest is the actual name of the utility you gave a screenshot of (in the menus it's called "Disk Utility"). [06:58] Pyrrhic it's nate__ 's first ubuntu experience [06:58] vectorshelve_: there should be a directory /etc/apt/apt.conf.d to put configuration files into. /etc/apt/apt.conf (if it exists) should be a file. Can you pastebin the output of 'ls -lR /etc/apt' ? [06:58] timfrost: one sec [06:59] shiftingcontrol_: sda5 is the partition you just created? [06:59] MonkeyDust: Oh ok. Would you happen to know how to fix a corrupt partition? [06:59] Pyrrhic corrupt partition? [06:59] Jordan_U, nope sdb1 [06:59] Jordan_U, http://imagebin.org/226409 is screen shoot [06:59] shiftingcontrol_: sdb1 doesn't appear to be mounted at all. [07:00] timfrost: http://pastie.org/4614904 [07:00] MonkeyDust: Yes. Corrupt partition. NTFS. [07:00] Pyrrhic what happened? [07:00] MonkeyDust: Resizing errored in GParted and corrupted it. :/ [07:01] Pyrrhic how so 'corrupted'? [07:01] in what way? [07:01] timfrost: any idea ? [07:01] Jordan_U, When I mount usb, under devices I can see the name but when I click the device name, it isn't getting mounted [07:02] I can't mount it in Ubuntu or access any files, corrupted. [07:03] Pyrrhic what happens when you try? error messages? [07:04] vectorshelve_: OK. The directory is called /etc/apt/apt.conf.d . Check the files in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ for proxy settings (the file 01proxy is most likely) and check that the proxy setting is correct [07:04] <_mis_tere_> any chanl for Backtrack users? [07:04] My recently installed ubuntu isn't showing unity 3d, it's only in 2d. Any Ideas? [07:04] MonkeyDust: Well. Before I tried resizing, I could see it listed when opening my home folder. Now it's gone. In gParted it has an exclamation point next to it. [07:04] Jordan_U, Need to leave now, catch yu later if possible, thanks [07:04] shiftingcontrol_: Please pastebin the output of "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/" [07:04] shiftingcontrol_: You're welcome. Good luck. [07:04] !backtrack | _mis_tere_ [07:04] _mis_tere_: 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 [07:05] timfrost: Acquire::http::Proxy "http://proxy.web2labs.com:3142"; [07:05] timfrost: it seems correct [07:05] Jordan_U, mount: /dev/sdb1 already mounted or /mnt/ busy mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdb1 is already mounted on /mnt [07:05] My recently installed ubuntu isn't showing unity 3d, it's only in 2d. Any Ideas? [07:06] but ls /mnt is null [07:06] nate__ keep it in the channel please [07:07] sorry? [07:07] MonkeyDust: Well. Before I tried resizing, I could see it listed when opening my home folder. Now it's gone. In gParted it has an exclamation point next to it. [07:07] Oh duh of course [07:07] will do [07:07] Just in case you missed my message monkey. [07:08] hello there, i wanna make the compiz fusion effects work on my ubuntu 12.04 ..but i cant...should i downgrade gnome? [07:08] vectorshelve_: I see a smiley in that line as posted. is the actual text 'http' then two ':' characters then 'proxy' ? [07:08] Pyrrhic sounds odd [07:08] !gnome2 | hanslanda [07:08] hanslanda: The GNOME Foundation has ceased support for GNOME 2, and as such it is not in Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot). See !notunity for an alternative desktop experience. [07:08] vectorshelve_: another thought: can you correctly resolve the host name? [07:09] !notunity [07:09] 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 [07:09] I get an error that says, "Your ubuntu is running in 2d mode" how can I change that? [07:10] MonkeyDust: :/ Guess I'm screwed then? [07:10] hello, yesterday i was in here complaining of my gpu that was hot, and my fan going off 100% pretty much all the time [07:10] Pyrrhic i'm sure someone else has other or better advice [07:10] i think I nailed it. i looked at my compiz settings, [07:11] and under opengl i scaled down my settings there [07:11] so far so good [07:11] Seeking help to fix a corrupt data NTFS partion.

[07:13] chasedawg11 logout, select ubuntu, login [07:14] MonkeyDust I tried that, but I still get the same error [07:15] chasedawg11 what options do you get in the loggin menu? [07:15] login* [07:15] chasedawg11: I bet it's because your hardware doesn't support 3D, which is required to run Unity. [07:16] As a consequence, it loads Unity 3D. [07:16] MonkeyDust Ubuntu and Ubuntu 2d. [07:16] chasedawg11 see what Wizard says [07:17] MonkeyDust what's wizard? [07:17] chasedawg11 the guy who just said something [07:17] * Wizard smacks chasedawg11 :/ [07:18] Wizard I burned the .iso image to a cd and when I boot off the cd, the 3d works great, but when it's installed its only in 2d [07:19] MonkeyDust thanks [07:19] chasedawg11: Seems strange.

[07:28] but in ubuntu forums i read many of the time that global variables should be set in /etc/environment [07:28] Pyrrhic, how is it corrupted? [07:30] previously every thing was working properly after installing and upgrading "ppa:ikarosdev/unity-revamped" i think that's not working [07:30] I tried to resize a media ntfs partition. While it was resizing i had a power surge and it's corrupt [07:30] so basically the resize got canceled. [07:30] Pyrrhic: the best way to fix any NTFS issues is using the Windows tools from within Windows OS [07:30] I don't have a Windows CD :/ [07:30] Pyrrhic: then why do you have a NTFS disk ? [07:30] msg roobarb1in ubuntu forums i read many of the time that global variables should be set in /etc/environment [07:30] why does Precise get suddenly very SLUGGISH ?? odd behavior compared to Lucid. [07:31] I had a Windows partition. Used a friends. [07:31] got rid of it for ubuntu [07:31] Pyrrhic: then get the friends disk again [07:31] it has media on it. [07:31] they don't live anywhere close to me anymore. I had windows 7 for a few years. [07:31] they moved out west, anyway.. [07:32] Pyrrhic: if you write to microsoft giving them a legitimate product activation code, they will send you a CD [07:32] there are no unix tools to fix it? [07:32] Pyrrhic: not really no, [07:33] NTFS is a reversed engineered filesystem, so while functionality for it is surprisingly good, the right tools to use are the microoft ones [07:33] Pyrrhic, you can buy a bootable windows recovery disc 10$ and get to the command line for a chkdsk [07:33] may need mote than that though [07:33] more* [07:35] vivek-tomar__: what stopped working on your machine? [07:35] i set path to bash script folder and now i can't execute those script from terminal\ [07:35] ikonia: offtopic i know, but what if you write to MS with an OEM code? [07:36] roobarb1:i set path to bash script folder and now i can't execute those script from terminal [07:36] Ben64: honestly no certain idea, however I believe the OEM provider not microsoft are obliged to give you media (but they may charge you) [07:38] can anyone please help me out global variables set in /etc/environment file are not working [07:38] Hi to all [07:39] vivek-tomar__: Could it be that your script doesn't have the execute permissions? [07:39] vivek-tomar__: you can check your path on the terminal [07:39] roobarb1:all is set i crossed checked that [07:39] <_PanzerSajt> Hy! I would like to usbboot pandaboard like board. http://jcrigby.blogspot.hu/2012/07/usb-booting-panda-board.html This usbboot utility wasn't working for me I used this instead: https://github.com/dmitry-pervushin/usbboot-omap4 With this one I could load u-boot into memory but it won't start up. (I think the problem is that is tries to relocate itself.) [07:40] vivek-tomar__: did you log-out/log-in? [07:40] roobarb1: i can [07:41] roobarb1: even if i make that file empty i can login and logout [07:41] I have a problem. I can't log in my ubuntu even from virtual terminal, and I have the message "The system is running in low-graphics mode". Does anyone can help ? === mimor is now known as mimor_ [07:43] Xmikel: your video card isn't running in 3d mode, that's the reason, why, either it's not configurd with the correct xorg modules, or the card doesn't support 3d acceleration on Linux [07:44] ikonia:hi can you please help me out my global path variables in /etc/environment file are not working from terminal [07:45] vivek-tomar__: no idea. [07:45] I don't know what you mean not working from the terminal [07:45] /etc/environments is just a text file [07:45] Xmikel: You could try Alt+Print+k and then reisub. If this does not help, I only can advixe reboot. If this does not give a clue then start a Ubuntu live CD and analyze the logfiles. [07:45] so it shouldn't "do anytthing" from the terminal [07:45] ikonia: i set path to bash script dir and i can't execute those script from terminal [07:46] s/advixe/advise/ [07:46] ikonia: thanks for you suggestion, but I'm using this compter for very long time now and the problem occur only after the installation of oracle weblogic [07:46] vivek-tomar__: why are you setting it in /etc/variables rather than in the .bashrc ? [07:46] Xmikel: very doubtful weblogic is the issue as it's just a java middleware server, and won't effect your x configuration === hp is now known as Guest23444 [07:47] ikonia: coz /etc/environment variables are global can be shared bw users [07:48] vivek-tomar__: it's more likely /etc/environment is getting parsed and then the varibles are overwritten by other config files such as the bashrc [07:48] Hi , anyone know which program which able to move file with GUI interface ? reason using command line mv works but doesn't show % of complete. Maybe a GUI Move file program able to show it ? [07:49] vivek-tomar__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables quite a good explination of it and how to use it [07:49] nbubuntu: the file manager, nautilus ? [07:49] nbubuntu: Nautilus can do the job. [07:49] luftikuss: thanks, I going to try that [07:49] ikonia:ok so last question i can see those variable in printevn PATH variables [07:50] vivek-tomar__: can you show me the output of echo $PATH please. [07:50] ikonia:ok [07:51] ikonia luftikuss : nautilus file manager doesn't have move option [07:51] ikonia: thanks, I'll will look the problem elsewehere as luftikuss suggested [07:51] nbubuntu: it does [07:51] ikonia : I mean in gui which show % of complete [07:52] nbubuntu: it does [07:52] ikonia : huh ? where ? [07:52] nbubuntu: when you move a file.....it shows you a progress bar if it's big enough to take longer than a nano second [07:52] ikonia:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:$MYHOME [07:52] ikonia:please have a look at it [07:53] vivek-tomar__: right, so $MYHOME is not a valid path [07:53] vivek-tomar__: I'm assuming the things that are not working is in $MYHOME [07:53] ikonia : that one is Cut and paste file.Not move file. [07:53] ikonia:and MYHOME="$HOME/my/your" [07:53] vivek-tomar__: yes, but %MYHOME is not valid in $PATH [07:54] it's valid dirs are there and bash script with name "hello" is there [07:54] nbubuntu: 1.) cut and paste IS move 2.) if you drag and drop with shift, it's move. [07:54] nbubuntu: there is also set "move" paths [07:54] vivek-tomar__: no, it's not [07:54] vivek-tomar__: $PATH cannot contain $MYHOME [07:54] vivek-tomar__: that is showing you the machine doesn't know what $MYHOME is [07:54] ikonia: if i use source /etc/environmet command every thing starts working properly [07:55] vivek-tomar__: if it new what $MYHOME was it would set the path to usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/your/home/path [07:55] vivek-tomar__: that has nothing to do with what I've just said [07:55] Please one thing before trying your suggestion. I can log in, but it cames back to the login immediately [07:55] ikonia: so can how to fix it plz [07:56] vivek-tomar__: 1.) I've given you a link showing you how to use /etc/enviornment 2.) I've explained why it's not working from /etc/environment (something overwriting your variables .bashrc) 3.) I've explained why $MYHOME is not valid in your $PATH [07:56] vivek-tomar__: address those issues and you'll be fine [07:56] ikonia: luftikuss: Please one thing before trying your suggestion. I can log in, but it cames back to the login immediately [07:57] Xmikel: normally because it can't write to your home dir - possible permissions or disk full issues [07:57] ikonia: oh man your typing speed is so great my god [07:57] >/leave [07:57] i made my Wiimote compatible in xbmc using the eventclient but it only works as a remote and not a gamepad using the Zsnes emulator anyone know what i shall do to get it working [07:58] Xmikel: Go to a Linux terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F1) log in there and analyze /var/log/syslog for an error on login.

[08:02] Xmikel: Do you speak about your login on a Linux console? [08:02] yes [08:02] nbubuntu: again if you drag while holding shift it will move [08:02] luftikuss: yes [08:03] hanslanda: Do you have unity? That sidebar to the left [08:03] Xmikel: In this case only helps to start an Ubuntu Live CD and analyze logs. First choice is /var/log/dmesg.0. [08:03] hanslanda, type lsb_release -a [08:03] ikonia : ok , thanks , I guess cut and shift is the different.Thanks for telling :D [08:04] ecthiender, BebopSteve Description: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS Codename: precise [08:04] luftikuss: Thanks.

[08:08] I am learning about the Firewall in Ubuntu server 12.04.1 LTS. Does anyone know where to find the file that has the config information about UFW? [08:08] I tried to resize my c drive to make an unallocated drive for ubuntu but the option for installing ubuntu alongside windows 7 still isnt showing up [08:09] ebs512_: have you tried installing by booting from a cd? [08:10] Problem: made a mess with desktop desktop environments...installed gnome-desktop-environment on 12.04 LTS Precise and removed some stuff...and now i have duplicate applications icons..anyone? [08:10] unfortunately, no I have not, I dont have any blank cds, this usb boot worked on the desktop just fine but I am assuming its because hp uses all 4 partitions [08:11] ebs512_, afaik that shouldn't matter, the installer should come with a partition manager [08:12] hi...how can i change plymouth theme on ubuntu 12.02 lts [08:12] My computer shuts down (crashes) when I boot Windows XP or Windows 7 in VirtualBox. These virtual machines were created on another computer. How do I debug, or even fix, this issue? [08:12] ikonia : nope , it doesn't reserve the modified time [08:12] correct, but the only option I have is to install inside of windows, not alongside windows [08:12] Stava better ask in #virtualbox [08:12] Problem: made a mess with desktop desktop environments...installed gnome-desktop-environment on 12.04 LTS Precise and removed some stuff(installed and removed compiz and compiz fusion puglins)...and now i have duplicate applications icons..anyone? (Can i remove all desktops and install just one)? [08:13] hanslanda: you can just remove the icons you don't want [08:14] Linpassion: sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth [08:14] And possibly text.plymouth, if my memory isn't failing me. [08:14] Hi all, (i must say that i don't speak english), who know, how to make dvd (or cd) from my (already installed) system (with all my programm) ? [08:15] ebs512_ hmm, I have never had to do that nor tried so I don't know the problems that may crop up with that sort of thing. Alternatively you could create a persistent boot on your thumbdrive and follow a tutorial to make it have more than 4GB, and if more space is needed, put your home folder somewhere on your windows partition [08:16] gordonjcp, i think its not just like that...dont know if only the icons are duplicated, im afraid that the apps are too [08:16] If I have enabled encryption for my drive making my have to type in a password everytime I start the server, is there any way to disable that again so I can restart the server and gain access to it without acually having to be physically at it? [08:16] the problem is, I need at least, 100gb for ubuntu because I am building source [08:16] and I dont want to get rid of windows 7 [08:16] ebs512_ External HDD? [08:16] starfox http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/remastersys.html [08:16] Debolaz than i must select automatic? 0 options or amnual? [08:16] I actually just got this laptop yesterday in the mai [08:16] mail [08:17] hanslanda: it's unlikely [08:17] starfox that's an old link, but remastersys is what you need [08:17] Linpassion: By default, only a single theme is installed. You may need to install more. You can find some at packages.ubuntu.com by searching for plymouth [08:17] hanslanda: they would all be installed to the same place if they were [08:17] its an hp g7 2124nr 640 gb hdd 6gb memory intel hd 4000 graphics card i5 processor [08:18] Thank, but remastersys (i don't know why) does not work on Linux Mint : ( [08:18] gordonjcp, ok...but can i remove all my desktops environments and install just gnome? [08:19] !mint > starfox [08:19] starfox, please see my private message [08:19] ok [08:19] ebs512_ There could potentially be a lot of things keeping you from installing inside the windows partition, honestly [08:19] ebs512_ Especially considering how new it is (and grats, sounds nice) [08:20] Hey all, I'm lost on a problem here. Just bought a gaming mouse which Ubuntu (Linux Mint) sees as a keyboard (evdev), without building an xorg.conf file is there a way I can force the mouse to load mouse drivers? [08:21] well thats a bummer :( I was really looking forward to dual booting this but I need it to be installed alongside win 7 [08:21] Hi all [08:21] I am running Ubuntu as a guest in VMWare on a Win 7 Host [08:22] Where do I find the acual config fire for ufw?

[08:23] ebs512_ And take care of the problem that way, it's your HDD space, free it [08:24] How do I make my desktop fonts pretty again and also get rid of this error : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1175389/ [08:24] Guys, can i remove ubuntu 2d desktop and gnome classic from 12.04 LTS Precise? Want to use only Gnome [08:25] Debolaz i try, but slapsh i see the splash screen at hte log-ou only, not during linux loader [08:25] I tried to free some but it made an unallocated partition [08:25] Linpassion_: That's because it's the plymouth text theme thats used during bootup. [08:26] Also how do I find out if I am running Unity or Unity 2D? [08:26] Anyone can help me please?!!!?!?! [08:26] ebs512_ At that point, you direct the installer to use the unallocated/unformatted space? [08:26] I do not see the option to decrase the icon size of the launch bar..so I am guessing I am running Unity 2D [08:26] How do I confirm that? [08:26] how can able plymouth graphics? [08:27] it said unused === domin962 is now known as dominikj [08:27] and I tried to select it but all it would do is give me information [08:27] And if I am indeed running 2D what all do I need to install to reduce the launchbar size? [08:27] I used EaseUS Partition Master [08:29] ebs512_ tbh you don't need to use anything like that, are you sure you booted the installer off usb? [08:29] yes because I cant install ubuntu [08:29] Linpassion_: That I haven't figured out yet. :-) [08:29] I'm assuming because HP took up all the partitions [08:30] there's 1 with tools, 1 with recovery, and 2 with hdd related to windows [08:30] ebs512_ Ok but you just created unallocated space with EaseUS Partition master, that means you opened space for a -new- partition so you can format that unallocated space in ext2,3, or 4/whatever for ubuntu [08:31] !enter | ebs512_ [08:31] ebs512_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line.

[09:38] If modprobe doesn't return anything you've got your module successfuly enabled [09:39] but theres no /dev/ttyUSB0 [09:39] You can check the status looking at dmesg [09:39] Aaaaand doing lsmod |grep usb [09:39] I am not that much familiar with usbserial....why should there be the tty there? [09:40] gccster: why are you specifying the VID and PID, and do you need to? [09:41] gccster: and furthermore are you sure they are correct? [09:41] biggi_mat, lsmod | grep usb gives: usbserial 47077 0 [09:41] Hello. I use the EasyStroke for inputting texts into form fields. Does anybody know how to make the EasyStroke to take a text from a curtain file on a certain line? If I learn how to use bash scripts, will it help me to solve the task? [09:41] gccster, means the module actually is loaded correctly. So back to my question - why do you think there should be a ttyUSB? [09:42] gordonjcp, i found them on a tutorial on how to run Sam_I_Am to program SAM7-p256 ARM board [09:42] biggi_mat, loaded correctly but whats the usbtoserial device file for ubuntu 12.04 [09:44] shouldnt it be /dev/ttyUSB0? [09:45] gccster: okay, well if you do "lsusb" it'll tell you the VID and PID of all connected USB devices === kostkon_ is now known as kostkon [09:48] gordonjcp, i get Bus 002 Device 004: ID 15ba:0004 Olimex Ltd. OpenOCD JTAG TINY can you please tell me whats the correct modprobe command (like sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x3eb product=0x6124) and what would be the device file (like /dev/ttyUSB0) ? [09:49] for ubuntu 12.04 [09:50] just a usbserial? i use plenty of those and all are just plug+play [09:51] Guys, is anybody with hp pavilion g4 machine, ub 12.04 is not supported [09:51] yea but whats the device file for ubuntu 12.04 ? i dont have /dev/ttyUSB0 wich the tutorial mentions [09:51] i'm missing totally, its not at all booting [09:51] opakavic: ub? usb? [09:52] gccster, what does dmesg say when plugging, do oyu have any other ttyUSB* ? [09:52] gccster, I'd really like to know what you're trying to achieve [09:52] The same cd is booting in my old p4 machine [09:52] ub is ubuntu, cfhowlett [09:52] As in, maybe smacking out the URL to the tutorial? [09:52] gccster, please also mind that i just joined and might miss a lot of context here ;-) [09:52] i'm having 12.04 in cd [09:52] opakavic: could the cd driver have failed [09:52] nibbler_, you haven't missed anything valid really... [09:52] I'm not sure gccster knows what he's trying to do [09:52] opakavic: consider making a boot usb [09:52] cfhowlett: then, is the other way ? [09:53] biggi_mat, hehe, okays - i see [09:53] opakavic: ubuntu startup disk creator [09:53] biggi_mat, i want to use a program called Sam_I_Am which needs to know the device file for usbtoserial of a device plugged in right now called OpenOCD JTAG [09:53] cfhowlett: okay nice option, hmm.. well how about i5 core support [09:54] opakavic, please be more verbose. is the boot menu of the cd showing, is the install running but sys does not boot later, is the install starting to boot but then hanging, can you enter boot options at any time? [09:54] liftikuss: Please I'm coming again. I checked the logs. In dmesg.0 I'm not seing a problem unless I'm misjudging. in lightdm.log there are some weird errors [09:54] opakavic, i5 does not need support, its x86 so supported via this [09:54] And you're following this thing, gccster : http://claymore.engineer.gvsu.edu/~steriana/Software/Sam_I_Am/index.html#Installation ? [09:55] nibbler_: its not booting at all [09:55] nibbler_: not even the boot screen i see [09:55] biggi_mat, im following this http://www.doctort.org/adam/nerd-notes/getting-started-with-the-olimex-sam7-p256.html [09:56] biggi_mat, the step 3 [09:56] opakavic, if you dont see anything, then your laptop is broken. [09:56] nibbler_: well i can able to boot OSX and windows in the same laptop [09:56] gccster, what about dmesg output when plugging the usb converter? and other ttyUSB* devices? [09:57] biggi_mat, but theres no /dev/ttyUSB0 [09:57] gccster, and lsusb tells you what? [09:57] nibbler_: i have no idea about this.. [09:57] opakavic, then it is booting. what **exactly** happens when you insert the install-cd? [09:57] biggi_mat nibbler_ im rebooting for a moment and give the exact outputs [09:58] nibbler_: it shows me a screen with menus, then i select first option.. to install in my machine [09:58] here comes the problem [09:58] ... replugging would have done it ;-) [09:58] how to activate hibernate in shutdown menu in ubuntu 12 ? [09:58] my screen goes blank and laptop getting more heat [09:59] opakavic, so the bootloader shows, good. try to add these boot options: noapic nolapic acpi=off acpi=no (sort of redundant, as i dont know the exact ones) [09:59] opakavic, and remove anything that says "quiet" or "splash" [09:59] opakavic, and add "nospash" just in case (sorry for multiline response) [09:59] nibbler_: okay.. thanks let me try and get back [10:04] hi! anybody tryied to install NIMBITS server in ubuntu?

[10:06] Rubykuby: Ubuntuforums? [10:06] sharket, i'd say your controlelr drivers are not loaded..... [10:06] Oh, quite obvious. Any particular sub-forum? I hardly go there. [10:07] The one most relevant to the problem/solution, I guess.

[10:08] Ah well. I'll just post it somewhere I think appropriate and a mod can move it if it's posted in the wrong section [10:08] Hi everyone, occasionally, when I shutdown, I go to the plymouth loading screen (with the dots) and the ubuntu image and the dots are static - the dots remain white. Pressing Esc does not bring up the log as usual, so I am forced to hold down the power button in these circumstances.

OpenOCD JTAG TINY [10:09] Rubykuby: A post on ubuntuforums should be highly ranked on Google too, so more easily discovered than a post on a blog, perhaps. [10:09] Can anyone give me a solution sorry my question was not clear? [10:09] how can i know which scsi card im using? [10:09] biggi_mat, should i use the command sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x3eb product=0x6124 or what is the apropriate for my case [10:09] i got this server yesterday and i donnt know [10:10] l [10:13] Can anyone help I am worried this is damaging my motherboard...

[10:15] Hi [10:15] tnm i will suggest you use the /home for the HDD, and SSD for the rest [10:15] marcappuccino: age, production, alien abduction [10:15] nibbler_, ok i fixed it it was wrong vendor [10:15] id [10:15] lsusb -v helped me [10:16] I am having a problem with the netsetter on a friends laptop [10:16] tnm, i would not suggest /home on hdd, i want to migrate away from that. use hdd for a specific data partition, but make sure home is on sdd!

[10:16] Now it doesn't show up in the network sectio [10:16] nibbler_ but anyway it must be producing some damage to my system especially my hard disk [10:16] gccster, good te hear ;-) [10:16] nibbler_, why? [10:16] marcappuccino : it's damaged because that's not normal to shut down like this [10:16] marcappuccino. no. [10:16] is there some way to make Google Earth ubuntu like? [10:17] any help is highly welcomed [10:17] tnm, all the .* configs and directorys... your system boots in no time, but logging in, starting thunderbird, firefox, anything you wait for your hdd.... totally negates your ssd win [10:17] marcappuccino: try to sudo apt-get dist-upgrade... [10:17] nibbler_, i agree.. [10:18] bona Of course its not normal but thats what i have to so sometimes when the shutdown hangs [10:18] tnm, i ahve this setup on both, laptop and desktop now. its not nice, that i can tell you (rules about language in this channel hinder me from expressing my real feelings here). [10:18] marcappuccino:it resolves sometimes my hardware problems [10:19] So, the best thing to do is having the whole Ubuntu on SSD, and also .vdi files (Virual Boxes files) [10:19] bona what hardware problems? [10:19] nibbler_, can we talk private? [10:19] wifi, .. [10:19] printer.. [10:19] bona doing what? [10:20] tnm, well, if you want fast VMs, you want them on your ssd - sure. how big is your ssd? mine are 120GB, and that should do for 2x20GB VMs and all my system/home, just my videos on magnetic.... if you use your VMs only occasionally you can change them to hdd [10:20] marcappuccino : doing sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [10:21] gccster: unplug it, plug it in, and see what dmesg says [10:21] bona the only upgrades i am getting is openssl [10:22] but can anyone tell me what may be causing my problem? [10:22] <[twisti]> what problem ? [10:23] <_raven> standby-problem with 12.04 - sometimes my notebook immediately boots up again after attempt to go to standby-mode [10:23] <_raven> any ideas?

A quick question. Does anyone have any Ducky keyboard? I ran into a forum post saying that this keyboard doesn't work on Linux which might make sense if connected to USB, but not PS/2... so do you have it, which model and does it work? [10:59] MeanEYE: that doesn't make a lot of se nse [10:59] MeanEYE: unless it has some weird extra functions that require a Windows-specific driver [10:59] in which case, don't touch it with someone else's stolen ten-foot pole [10:59] gordonjcp: My thoughts exactly, but those are not cheap keyboards, so better safe than sorry. === Guest69365 is now known as Freeaqingme [11:00] Well, they do support NKRO over USB, which other keyboard manufacturers don't. [11:02] dont have a ducky, was looking at one to buy, those trying it in linux THINK that something in the keyboard is waiting on a sigle from windows device enumeration that they ducky waits on as a trigger that configuration is complete and teh os is ready to recieve data, doesnt seem to happen in linux, though firmware my have fixed it by now [11:02] Even if connected to PS/2? [11:02] never heard of them ;-) i must be old.. or they are specillized [11:03] doesnt matter how connected [11:03] So I do need a driver for them? [11:03] they are a gaming board dr_willis [11:03] Well, blue switches are not really for gaming :) [11:03] Mechanical keyboards... really handy to use. [11:03] please help, I did this >>http://www.howtogeek.com/113923/how-to-re-enable-hibernate-in-ubuntu-12.04/ but didn't have hibernate in my [11:05] i still stink in fps wuth fancy keybords. B-) [11:06] I don't play games. I need this for work. :) [11:06] As my keyboards tend to die a lot. [11:06] please help, I did this >>http://www.howtogeek.com/113923/how-to-re-enable-hibernate-in-ubuntu-12.04/ but didn't have hibernate in my menu , please advice? [11:06] to many dorito cr [11:07] well if you can type, you can type faster on a mech board, they spring back faster. they are more durable, and i like the click they make [11:07] never killed a keybord that i can remember [11:07] seem more accurate too [11:08] Well, I kill them quite fast. At the moment I have Logitech Illuminated, which cost arm and a leg, and few letters are already freaking out. Mere 3 years of use. [11:08] Phiscribe: so, you don't think Ducky keyboards would work on Linux? [11:09] a bout 3 months ago when i was looking at em i concluded no, but it might be diffrent now, they fail on macs too apperantley. they may have better firmware now [11:10] I'm running win7 and i want to install ubuntu 10.10 , i had previously installed linux mint and it wasnt uninstalled properly , the boot entry is still there and when i install ubuntu i don't encounter any problems during install but after i reboot and boot from ubuntu it goes to grub command line , what should i do ? [11:10] Blackrhino, how about not using Wubi and instead installing a proper dual boot? :D [11:11] Blackrhino, also Ubuntu 10.10 is outdated and unsupported [11:11] Damn :/ [11:11] Blackrhino, there is a program called boot repaire which is so great and can see windows too [11:13] Bonjour [11:14] Je suis tou nouveau sur linux ubuntu et j'aurai besoin d'un peit peu d'aide si quelqu'un peu m'aider :) [11:15] Hi, I changed my ATI graphical settings to enable dual-screen and I cannot start in normal graphical mode anymore -- the computer just keeps rebooting.

Near as I can tell I have the latest. Also, it does not matter which browser I use, same error. My default browser is Firefox, but have Chrome and Empathy as well. [13:32] k1L_ :probably.. [13:32] L0tt037: sudo apt-get update -y && sudo apt-get upgrade -y doesn't fix it ? repos enabled ? [13:33] lol, I am using Ubuntu so I don't have to use command line :-) is there an easier way? [13:34] !terminal [13:34] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [13:34] L0tt037: the easiest way is to use the command line [13:34] does ubuntu recognize the SAS hard drives in the instalation ? [13:34] L0tt037: sure you got a terminal, and you'll love it once you are used to it [13:34] L0tt037: you can sit and fiddle about with clicking on little pictures for a long time, before you achieve the same effect that you get by just asking for what you want [13:35] sharket: should do, if your controller is supported [13:35] aha, good [13:35] I hope so [13:35] Debian doesnt [13:35] in terminal...when I go to the site to get the update for Ubuntu, I choose the Ubuntu update and click download, but nothing happens [13:35] I donnt what controller i need or anything :/ [13:36] Unity-2d and gnome-fallback are is going away, mate uses gnome2, cinnamon requires 3d... So, really soon, anyone that doesn't have a 3D capable card won't be able to run gnome3, right? Or am I missing some option? [13:36] L0tt037: terminal open (just no gui, cmd-line ) ? [13:36] Is it, that ubuntu can't play well if the users home is on a network drive? [13:36] hold on [13:36] !classic | alkisg: [13:36] alkisg:: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". For 11.10, see !notunity [13:36] (apart from the llvmpipe software renderer which doesn't work for old clients, over the network etc) [13:37] DasEi: yeah, that's gnome-fallback, which is being deprecated and will be removed upstream soon [13:37] alkisg: no need for 3d, and there are other surfaces compatible, too, also might look for lubuntu [13:38] DasEi: indeed it doesn't need 3d, but it won't be available in the future. Lubuntu doesn't use gnome 3, it uses lxde. [13:38] hi! i'm having troubles with do-release-upgrade... i was running it in a remote console and that machine is very slow, so the screen session of the upgrade locked and asks for root password (which isn't set of course). i still have access via ssh, so i tried sudo passwd root, but screen still won't unlock. any ideas how i could fix this? [13:38] alkisg http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/08/unity-2d-removed-from-ubuntu-12-10 [13:38] Yup :( [13:39] That's why I'm looking for alternatives, but I don't see any... [13:39] (alternatives for gnome3) [13:39] xfce [13:39] Just installed the latest fglrx 12.6 from amd and in the fglrx gear test my frame rate went from 298 to over 1550 much better [13:40] icewm..., alksig, there are many configurable alternatives [13:40] icewm..., alkisg, there are many configurable alternatives [13:40] Reading state information... Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Same results [13:40] L0tt037: please put nick when answering, maybe have a look at your repos ? [13:40] anyone ever used vmbuilder to build KVM VMs ? [13:40] DasEi: thanks, I know there are many alternative DEs, I was just looking for something gnome-based, like unity-2d, gnome-fallback, mate... which all won't work in the future [13:41] if I upgrade to 12.04 will this issue follow me? [13:41] L0tt037: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list [13:41] alkisg : xfce [13:41] mosfet: xfce uses gtk, but isn't really a gnome DE [13:41] k [13:41] Thanks :) [13:41] Hi, I've installed KDE (as kubuntu) beside my Unity but under separated user(it is also administrator account) but under the new user I'm not able to apt-get update [13:42] because of gpg error [13:42] alkisg: you can alter alternatives to your liking, this is what makes *nix superior to other OS'es [13:42] Toxmi: exact error message from apt ? [13:43] Toxmi, if you have any ppas , then the error will persist til either get the key or remove the ppa [13:43] DasEi I ran that last command you gave me, what do I do now? [13:44] Toxmi: you will certainly have a key number thrown, so try : sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv HereYourKeyNumber [13:44] DasEi: well, if gnome-fallback was maintained, that would be good enough for me, but I lack the hundreds of programming hours required to become its sole maintainer... ok, the reason I was asking is to make sure that gnome-fallback is indeed our only gnome-based choice for 2d, and give enough feedback for its devs to understand it's still valuable + widely used. [13:44] L0tt037: give resulting url from terminal here [13:44] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1175886/ [13:46] Toxmi: fixed it ? [13:46] DasEi, I'm currently in Unity but Yeah it seems right I'll try that in a moment [13:46] Thanks Dude [13:47] L0tt037: lsb_release -a, I assume it reveals oneiric ? [13:47] what? [13:47] BTW, another problem is with the new KDE install I've lost my previous login screen :( [13:47] I tried apt-reconfigure kdm but it doesnt work [13:47] I changed it to LightDM [13:48] L0tt037: I just wanted to make sure which distro you are running, lsb_release -a tells you [13:48] yes [13:48] 11.10 oneirc [13:48] L0tt037 try lsb_release -sd [13:49] oneiric [13:49] hi, I have a .vdi virtual machine and for some reason virtualbox is not oppening it any reason why? it supports only ovf?

[13:51] deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu oneiric partner [13:52] L0tt037: then save gedit, re-run update/grade [13:52] holy crap [13:52] L0tt037: so you remove the '#' in front that two lines and put oneiric for maverick [13:52] nah... [13:53] so, easy way... will the problem follow me if I upgrade to 12.04? [13:53] I have set up LAMP on my Ubuntu 12.04. I am trying to use vsftpd to be able to FTP into /var/www. How can I use vsftpd to access /var/www only, and so that all files sent there via FTP is owned by www-data? [13:53] L0tt037: first get one thing done .. [13:53] so the problem will follow [13:54] L0tt037: there are some issues on distro-uprgrades, mostly if not lts to lts, but that's another question, and procedures are- if so at all- similar [13:54] <{wf}shadowspawn> hrm [13:55] <{wf}shadowspawn> ehlo [13:55] the thing is, how did this problem get started, hard to believe I am the only one [13:56] L0tt037: you mostly get in trouble by third paty repos or ppas, not ubuntu's default, and your partner wasn't enabled at all [13:56] <{wf}shadowspawn> gnome x-chat defaults here, how are y'all [13:56] ok [13:56] thank you [13:56] DasEi, Quick question. Is there a difference between gksu and gksudo? If so, do you have a link handy? [13:56] {wf}shadowspawn: fine, though technical support here [13:56] !gksu [13:56] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [13:57] <{wf}shadowspawn> ah. can you recommend a good irc client that supports a proxy? [13:57] <{wf}shadowspawn> i thought xchat had proxy settings in it [13:57] <{wf}shadowspawn> but i cannot find them [13:57] <{wf}shadowspawn> love this install of lubuntu btw [13:57] <{wf}shadowspawn> tried xp, win7, etc. on an older laptop [13:57] Sidewinder1: not that I new, but to sudo see above, either gksudo or gksu on most (..distros I used) occasions will do [13:57] <{wf}shadowspawn> this is the only one that works [13:57] knew* [13:57] irssi? === keffie_jayx is now known as effiejayx [13:58] <{wf}shadowspawn> wow i just noticed 1654 users [13:58] <{wf}shadowspawn> ok i'll hunt around [13:58] {wf}shadowspawn: try gnome-xchat, there you can set proxy [13:58] Is there a way to determine what my USB mouse is doing when it goes idle? I've modified some of the lomoco code I found, but if I lock my computer for any extended period of time, it seems as though the device either disconnects or sends some other "restart" code. [13:58] <{wf}shadowspawn> that's what i'm using, yet i can't find the proxy settings, unless i'm being a dork [13:59] DasEi, Yes, I have read the psychocats site in it's entirety as well as the updates. Have been well aware of sudo vs gksudo, was curious about gksu vs gksudo.. [13:59] Icehawk78: dmesg | tail (especially when re-plugging) , /var/log/syslog or messages, same dir [14:00] Sidewinder1: rather a distro-secific thing, both still work on 'buntu as far as I know [14:00] L0tt037: update now working ? [14:00] * jbdf is installing Lubuntu [14:00] DasEi, NM, not that important and, I see you're busy 'heppin'', thank you anyeay. :) [14:01] Im formatting a disk....with fdisk...how do I tell it that I want to use ALL remaining space when it prompts me for Last sector ?? [14:01] Im a bit lost :) [14:01] anyway, even. [14:01] <{wf}shadowspawn> i'm looking on the faq, is this old? https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=331607 [14:01] Gnome bug 331607 in general "Add proxy support" [Enhancement,New] [14:01] gyre007: accept the default [14:01] <{wf}shadowspawn> wow ubottu is cool [14:01] <{wf}shadowspawn> and quick [14:01] epinky, nope [14:02] the default is offering me the beginning of the new partition [14:02] http://pastebin.com/4BXXYiYr [14:02] see the numbers [14:02] well ALMOSt the beginning of it [14:03] gyre007: rather use gparted, as for partitioning and formatting there are different commands [14:03] that's why im lost :) [14:03] gyre007: is it a multiboot machine? what do you have in partitions 1 and 2? [14:04] epinky, its not a multiboot...partiton1 is a rootfs part2 is swap [14:04] its a cloud image [14:04] fdisk partitions.. not formats [14:04] im trying to expand it [14:04] DasEi, i only have command line...no GUI [14:05] gyre007: what/how are you trying to expand? [14:05] gyre007: good luck with that :) [14:05] gyre007: keeping the da [14:05] http://michael.orlitzky.com/articles/resizing_a_kvm_or_qemu_disk_image.php [14:05] shouldnt be hard...the only thing I need to get sorted is the formating of the newly added disk [14:05] hello [14:05] fdisk is showing that the disk space is added...i just can figure out how to partition it [14:05] 有没有说汉语的 [14:06] yiou format after y [14:06] gyre007: are you in charge of KWM administration? [14:06] dr_willis, ?? [14:06] epinky, yep [14:06] http://pastebin.com/5qDUDa1N [14:06] fdisk does not have res [14:07] y [14:07] gyre007: you'd want to remove partition 1 and 2? [14:08] heres the whole pic http://pastebin.com/p7cAfc3L [14:08] epinky, WHY ?? [14:08] I just want to add a new partition... [14:08] gyre007: so, what's the problem? just add it [14:09] y [14:09] epinky, the problem is that I dont know what should I pass as end sector when fdisk prompts me for it [14:09] that was my initial question [14:10] it defaults to the beginning of the new partition...its in that pastebing [14:10] http://pastebin.com/p7cAfc3L [14:10] gyre007: hit {enter} up to the end to use the remaining space, then hit p and w to commit your changes [14:11] epinky, did you actually see that pastebin ?? [14:11] gyre007: yes [14:11] IT DEFAULTS TO THE BEGINNING OF THE NEWLY ADDED PARTITION [14:11] First sector (7998047-31457279, default 7998047): [14:11] Last sector, +sectors or +size{K,M,G} (7998047-7999487, default 7999487): [14:11] thats the start... [14:11] gyre007: it's ok, what's wrong? hit enter and move on [14:11] see how many sectors are there ? [14:12] end is 7999487 [14:12] thats definitely not 10G im adding :) [14:12] is there any tool to switch boot screen/login screen, comming from xubuntu, and moving to unity/ubuntu? [14:12] join #australia [14:12] gyre007, you need to do p in fdisk and paste that [14:12] you are adding a partitin to space between 2 patioins perhaps [14:12] gyre007, or...fidsk -l...that could not be the correct output you pasted [14:12] combat I did...it is in that pastebin [14:13] the fuck [14:13] fdisk knows nothing about /run/shm [14:13] !troll [14:13] http://pastebin.com/ZPEA2eDT [14:13] gyre007, that is no fdisk output i have ever seen, that looks like df -h [14:14] there you go [14:14] chombat, no that was example that my disk is full and thats why im adding new partition === erry_ is now known as erry [14:14] ok so start at 9998336 and do +10G [14:14] or whatever [14:15] lol...whatever :) [14:15] after accepting the defaults: http://pastebin.com/yw642wEJ [14:15] I have like 720 blocks :D [14:15] as I expected [14:15] thats why I was asking how do I tell him to accept ALL available space [14:16] just hit enter in that case... [14:16] .the partition you are adding is betwen sda1 and sda2 [14:16] haha I DID [14:16] that's the retulst [14:16] dr_willis, is right [14:16] dr_willis, so what should I do to add it at the end ? [14:16] not at the end of the druve [14:16] remove the swap [14:16] add new partition and swap / [14:17] ? [14:17] if you have space at the end, then choose 7999488 as start [14:17] try adding another.... [14:17] yeah or swapoff /dev/sda2; delete sda2; etc etc [14:17] another ? [14:17] and see if it goes to the end [14:17] ok [14:17] sec [14:17] so on my 10.04 server 'date' returns the right time zone, syslog has the right timestamps but my cups logs are using the wrong time zone. Any ideas? [14:18] mm that looks better so far... [14:18] second...reboot [14:18] reboot... [14:18] but why is fdisk prompting me...to add partition between 1 and 2 ???? [14:19] hjbehling, http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/man-notifier.html [14:19] mm this looks VERY promising... [14:19] Will dmesg show usb events other than pure connects/disconnects, such as if a device goes "idle" somehow without fully disconnecting? [14:19] YUP [14:20] that has worked excellent! [14:20] hello [14:20] Hello everybody [14:20] but why was fdisk prompting me to add partition between 1 and 2 ?? [14:20] gyre007, you may want to stop and clean up [14:20] chombat, hm ? [14:20] gyre007, cuz therew as space there [14:20] chombat: thanks! do I set this variable in /etc/default/cups ? [14:21] swapoff /dev/sda2; delete partitions 2 3 and 4, then recreate [14:21] then mkswap /dev/sda2; swapon -a [14:21] chombat, mm I see [14:21] interesting [14:21] you just want 3, i assume [14:21] chombat, yeah [14:21] ok ill do that now.. [14:22] should be fun :) [14:22] between 1 and 2 was the next unallocated space === darklord is now known as Guest57850 [14:22] dr_willis, how do I skip that ? [14:22] to the next unallocated space ? [14:22] id add a 4th.. and see if it goes to the end [14:23] dr_willis, it did [14:23] or type in the cyl# directly [14:23] all good...was just curuios how do i skip that small partition step [14:23] Hello ... I would like to know what the dot (.) means on terminal ... for example: find . -size +10M [14:23] chombat: got it! thanks so much! [14:24] normally in the past you would not have gaps between partitions. these days partitions get aligned to 2mb or 1 mb boundries [14:24] hjbehling, nice [14:24] guicps89: current directory [14:24] hi to all [14:24] guicps89: . = 'source' command [14:24] thanks nicksda_ [14:24] guicps89: or current directory [14:24] thanks dr_willis :) [14:24] . foo.sh runs the script === wesley is now known as Guest87324 [14:24] guicps89: at the beginning of the command line it would be the "source" command [14:25] ./ = current directory in paths normally [14:25] odd that command uses . and not ./ [14:26] i have seem some articles that show its possible to use an iso image to install ubuntu is also possible to use a preconfiguration file with an iso to install ubuntu predtermined partion? [14:26] i keep getting user.cc:(.text+0x1243): undefined reference to `crypt when i compile this package, and i chewcked the makefile it has -lcrypt not sure if im missing some libs? [14:26] dr_willis: trailing slashes of directory names can be omitted [14:27] ok thanks for the help, now a last question ... when I run this command to find large files, i usually have to delete them, and usually are more than 100 files ... is there a way to create a list with file names and run a script or something to delete them instead of deleting one-by-one using the RM command? === apple is now known as Guest79523 [14:27] guicps89: find has that feature [14:27] hmm I didn't know that ... what is the command tho delete the search result? [14:27] hi can anyone help me [14:27] with [14:27] ufw [14:28] or pipe output to a file and make a script from it, or use xrags [14:28] in ubuntu 12.04 [14:28] !ufw > hex__ [14:28] hex__, please see my private message [14:28] xargs not xrags ;) [14:28] lol [14:28] hmm ... i don't know this command (im little new using linux), but i will google for it, thanks man :) [14:29] I installed Ubuntu LTS on a 30GB drive...I think by default it took 6GB for the / partition, and has a 21GB "extended partition" which is not being used at all. Now I'm almost out of space on the / partition. I can't resize it in gparted. How can I make it use the 21GB somehow? In Gparted the partitions are shown as "RootPartition---Swap/OtherPartitions---Extended partition" (which is probably [14:29] why I can't resize /) [14:29] rangergorder: its in use === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [14:29] dr_willis: so why am I getting tons of warnings about me being out of disk space? [14:29] use a gparted live cd [14:29] I can alt-drag windows around my workspace, but isn't there supposed to be a similar way to re-size windows? [14:29] ah [14:30] OK, Gparted live CD will let me resize the / partition? [14:30] brilliant! chombat thanks for help [14:30] in use does not mean empty [14:30] and too all others like dr_willis too! [14:30] it wont be [14:30] / then. ;) [14:30] it will be dev/sda1 [14:30] you got it [14:30] thanks [14:32] now I need to figure out how do I mount it to /var...while not disrupting any other files...basically at the beginning i had only 1 partition...everything on it...now I want to expand /var [14:32] should I just mount a new partition under mount and all will be ok ?? [14:32] probably no :) [14:32] uh [14:32] you can put the partition under /mnt/, move the files, and symlink [14:32] or you can move the files and mount at /var/ [14:32] doesnt matter [14:32] hi [14:33] ubuntu is asking me to Log into iSCSI targets [14:33] how can i know where is it or what can i do ? [14:33] is one menu to configure iSCSI volumes [14:33] chombat, but some of the files are being used....so I can't just move them there ;) [14:33] then you have to use a livecd [14:33] hi. Which files does the Gnome Monitor Preferences tool change? [14:33] I changed my resolution once, but then I couldn't change it back and the theme was all messed up. Rebooting didn't help, and now gnome-settings-daemon won't start [14:34] or init1 or wahtever [14:35] hello [14:36] quit [14:36] how do i get subversion 1.7 ?

[15:05] dr_willis: i have been using multisystem to load isos [15:05] jgcampbell300: Make it easy on yourself. If everything is in place, use fdisk to put a bootable flag on it. PRetty easy. [15:05] bobweaver: not really ;) [15:05] i have installes ubuntu 12.04, then installed restricted packs then installed java only youtube vids will play no other web vids will play anythere any site [15:06] Sokel: k ... i havent tryed to boot this one in a while ... but im about ot clean it off and try again ... i need some tools to install os's and some tools to clean my family's computers ... they refuse to move to linux [15:06] flash was installed with restricted packs [15:06] thanks for the tips [15:06] veric, can you paste bin the output of apt-cache policy ubuntu-restricted-extras [15:07] right click on a youtube video and see what player its using..

[15:09] veric, sorry my bad I should have put PASTEBIN in caps like that [15:09] but do what dr_willis said also [15:09] veric, ^^ [15:09] Hey there - Some time ago, I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my machine, after that I've moved and this machine might have been shaken. In any case, it refuses to boot. I've removed the "quiet" part from the grub line, and the last thing i see before halt is: "Booting Node 0, Processors #1 Ok." After that it grinds to a halt. Can someone help please? :) [15:10] Eax, boot live cd and re-install grub ? [15:10] Hi guys! I'd like to ask for help on something: my mouse pointer started to freeze, today; If I move something in my screen, like scrolling a window, or tab-change windows, it comes back to life, but, if I stand still, and after a while try to move the cursor, it gets frozen. So it looks like any keyboard action releases the cursor again, but it's still weird. [15:10] ok so let me ask you this ... are all usb sticks capable of being bootable [15:10] or see if a live cd has sim iler errors. ;) [15:10] this is going to sound dumb... I'm on 12.04 64 bit. I did a pulseaudio --kill && pulseaudio --start, and then even though pulseaudio restarted I had no sound. I rebooted and pulseaudio is running and all, but I still have no sound [15:11] bobweaver: I don't think it's GRUB actually, as it gets past grub fine, it stops after that [15:11] jgcampbell300: ive had some pc/bios not like some sticks.. that did work in other pcs [15:11] dr_willis, +1 [15:11] it was working fine before.. I was just testing to see if I could stop it stuttering in wine [15:11] dr_willis: ok ... thanks [15:12] youtubes are html 5 so flash is not working at all [15:12] Eax, and if you hold the up button durring plymoth boot splash what does it say ? [15:12] I was wondering if anyone could give me a hint what I am doing wrong? I built freerdp from source (successfully) but I can only run it as root or sudo. If I run it from another account it gives a "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" error. [15:12] Eax: You still should boot a live cd and see if it boots. [15:12] jgcampbell300: a dd of the ubuntu iso straight to flash is a good test perhaps [15:12] bobweaver, what's plymoth boot? [15:12] dr_willis: ok ill try that next [15:12] diogobaeder, you might check top to see if you are getting spikes in cpu or swap usage that would freeze things up, and look at installing a driver for your graphics if you have not already [15:12] Sokel: Valid point. Thanks! [15:12] but it works fine from root or sudo... I am thinking it is just permissions but do not know how to narrow it down? [15:12] Eax, it is the think that says Ubuntu when booting [15:13] hey guys. Linux noob here. I've just formatted one of my hdds to ext4 using gparted. But I can't write to it...no write access...how do I fix it ? [15:13] with the dots that change color Eax butlike everyone said try live cd to make sure it is not hardware [15:13] could some one tell me how to turn off the password request when the screen goes idle, just would like to press a button and go. unbuntu 12.04 thanks [15:13] hakongram, mount the disk... [15:14] hakongram: set the permissions/ownership on the folders on the drive. or the mountpoint after its mounted [15:14] rifter, thanks, I'll keep my htop running and check it [15:14] hakongram: same as you would a folder [15:14] it's mounted [15:14] Eax: If anything, it might be a peripheral device you're using. Anything from a mouse, to a keyboard. Or anything in between. There are some people who suffer that issue you have and it turns out to be just that. Your mileage will vary [15:14] exit [15:14] hakongram, check the permissions on it by doing ls -la partitionname if it is mounted.. you may need to make sure you have a directory there that your user has permission to write to [15:14] at /media/Downloads [15:14] bobweaver, ah :) It never gets to that stage [15:15] hakongram: so see who owns that mountpoint. chown it as needeed [15:15] Sokel: I will try disconnecting everything, if that doesn't work, then live cd [15:15] hakongram, okay so do ls -la /media/Downloads [15:15] I have a question for folks who have created ubuntu repositories with reprepro , how do you handle packages that have the same filename but are intended for different releases ? [15:15] root is owner of everything [15:16] hakongram, okay then you need to either write as root or make a directory as root owned by your user that you can write to [15:16] hakongram: and you want what? a sing e uset full access to the root of the drive? [15:16] rifter, mouse cursor just froze, but CPU and RAM load were pretty low [15:16] full access to root of the drive, yes [15:16] hakongram: set the permissions/ownership on the folders on the drive. or the mountpoint after its mounted [15:17] rifter, I noticed this started to happen after I installed juju and ubuntu-orchestra-client-juju, do you think it might be related to them? [15:17] diogobaeder, could be an issue with the video drivers then [15:17] well, it should be mounted if it has the eject sign next to it in file explorer, right? [15:17] use mount command to see hakongram [15:17] could some one tell me how to turn off the password request when the screen goes idle, just would like to press a button and go. unbuntu 12.04 thanks [15:18] diogobaeder, who knows. I have no idea what those are but I have seen weird packages cause weird results. I tore my hair out for weeks on a problem only to find it was due to installing pango [15:18] rifter, doesn't seem to make sense to me, the screen is showing me the interface changes (like htop itself measuring CPU load, for instance), only the cursor doesn't move if I move my mouse [15:18] rifter, hmmm... interesting... I'll try uninstalling ubuntu-orchestra-client-juju, and see if it works [15:18] I get /dev/sda1 on /media/Downloads type ext4 (rw, nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks) [15:18] diogobaeder, well the thing is that the mouse driver is pretty standardized as I recall [15:19] hakongram: So yes.. its mounted. chown that downloads directory to be owned by your user [15:19] Sokel: You were right :) It was a keyboard that was the issue [15:19] rifter, ack. Well, I just removed ubuntu-orchestra-client-juju, I'll report back if this worked ;-) [15:19] Uhm... Something's starting guake outside of my regular .config/openbox/autostart script... where should I look? [15:19] hakongram: and you may want to make a fstab entry for it - to mount it at boot time [15:19] Eax: Figured so. There it is, find another keyboard sir [15:19] hakongram, chown -R yourusername /media/Downloads [15:20] Sokel: Already done thanks! [15:20] hakongram, actually sudo chown -R yourusername /media/Downloads [15:20] ok, I'll try it [15:20] so anyone have any ideas on my pulseaudio problem? [15:20] it's weird [15:21] ok, so now I'm owner of . and lost+found...but not ".." ...not a problem? [15:21] restarting the daemon should not kill my sound, especially after a reboot [15:21] hakongram, .. is /media so that is fine [15:21] ok [15:21] hakongram, that should stay owned by root [15:21] I'll try and copy a file to it [15:22] ok [15:22] 'touch testfile' in the dir to check if it works hakongram ;) [15:22] I get the destination is read only [15:22] rifter, seems to have worked, I uninstalled that package and autoremoved these: cloud-init etckeeper libopts25 ntp powernap powernap-common python-cheetah ubuntu-orchestra-client ubuntu-orchestra-common [15:23] rifter, are you restarting pulseaudio daemon , if so why ? [15:23] I got the testfile though...when running 'touch testfile' in terminal [15:23] hakongram: close your file manager - or refresh it [15:23] its confused and dident see the change perhaps [15:23] Hello. I'm new to Ubuntu [15:24] nope, same thing [15:24] I need to run explorer as root, but don't know how is it called [15:24] hakongram: If you change a folder/partions properties by terminal, the change doesn't take effect until the desktop/nautilus is restarted (from memory anyway) [15:24] hakongram: you were IN /media/Downloads when you did the touch test? [15:24] yes [15:24] im trying to install ubuntu 6.06(dont ask - i know its old) but its scrolling loads of errrors I cannot see, and a message about xorg or similar that I cant read, any suggestions? [15:24] cd /media/Downloads then touch woopiee-it-worked [15:25] ok, so I have to restart DJones ? [15:25] what about the entry in f-something ? [15:25] why all of a sudden does my grub screen show debian on the bottom right and is no longer purple? [15:26] hakongram: close your file manager window..open a new one.. perhaps [15:30] i will try to ask again [15:31] does anyone knows how to install SCSI devices in ubuntu ? [15:40] lool [15:41] BluesKaj, hmm where should I check? aplay and paplay do not complain of missing alsa but I don't see it in lsmod or ps -ef [15:41] BluesKaj, alsamixer seemed to work okay too [15:41] subz3r0, and how can i get to that if it wont boot? === perry_ is now known as Perry-dk [15:41] I am trying to do tar -cvf dir/ dir.tar but how do I log the output into a log file? [15:42] BluesKaj, I even heard a pop in my headphones when I unmuted the beep in alsamixer. but paplay and aplay on wav files I heard nothing [15:42] rifter, perhaps the alsa driver itself isn't loading [15:42] AdvoWork, livecd mount the disk... [15:42] tdelam, tar -cvf dir/ dir.tar 2>&1 | tee mylogfile.log [15:42] rifter: thanks === ola is now known as Guest30087 [15:43] subz3r0, what will that help me do though? === nathan is now known as Guest49636 === DefectiveUser is now known as Guest23989 [15:43] BluesKaj, I would expect to get an error saying I could not find the alsa device if that was true.. but I am not.. but how can I check for the alsa driver. where would it show up? I would have thought it was in the modules === troy_ is now known as Troy^ [15:45] can I just use pysdm instead of editing fstab?

[15:45] BluesKaj, here's my lsmod: http://pastebin.com/rTNRdh5F [15:46] Can anyone help with a vid problem for 2 days i have red every forum possible i have ubuntu 12.04, restricted packs java plugin and shockwave flash installed only youtube html 5 vids will play no other web vids will play anythere any site Tools/Add-ons Check to see if addons are up to date comes back good [15:46] rifter, "driver" is a misnomer , but i don't know what else to call it since it links to your audio module [15:46] does anyone know how to make the SAS harddrives been detected by the ubuntu instalation ? [15:46] thanks [15:47] BluesKaj, yeah but where do I look to see if it is loaded? I thought it was a module ... [15:48] BluesKaj, do you have any idea what directories pulseaudio might have stored someting that could be corrupted? I'm gonna try another user and see how that works [15:49] rifter, I don't fool much with PA config files , since the setup i have is fairly straightforward , which the spdif digital out to an audio amplifier [15:50] which is [15:50] BluesKaj, I'm not talking about changing config files. I'm talking about moving stuff under the home directory so it gets recreated from defaults [15:51] does it do any good to do a mdadm --resync at periodic intervals? === hg is now known as Guest40634 [15:51] or after --grow and resize2fs? [15:52] BluesKaj, I should not need to change config since that is not what started this problem. again all I did was restart pulseaudio. since that seems to have broken it (it shouldn't) I would think that it might be corrupted files since rebooting should have had pulseaudio start and work just as it did before [15:52] BluesKaj, If I create a new user and it works, that would mean something under my home directory got horked [15:53] are there any debian packages for firefox versions between 3.6.3 and version 15 for Lucid? [15:53] rifter, perhaps purge PA and reinstall it will work [15:54] Is there an absolute reason update-apt-xapian-index should run, or is it safe to turn off? [15:54] coao [15:55] ? [15:56] BluesKaj, if I do that I may as well reinstall the whole system because purging pulseaudio will remove the desktop and every sound dependant applicatioin [15:56] BluesKaj, I'll be back I guess. gonna try the other user [15:58] gchristensen: not sure lucid is kept up? maybe [16:00] ciao [16:00] !list [16:00] maria: No warez here!

[16:02] Lucid 10.04 LTS is supported until April 2013 (Desktop), April 2015 (Server) [16:03] when I do a fdisk -l...I get a "the util fdisk doesn't support gpt"...is that something to worry about ? [16:03] it's an empty ext4 formated hdd [16:03] Why is it that when I have multiple users logged in and I try to shut down it just goes to the welcome screen? [16:03] BluesKaj, okay this is weird. sound works fine in t he login screen but when I log in either as my user or another user there is no sound. and I noticed now that the sound preferences shows "dummy output." so that makes me think pulseaudio is not looking at the right device. so, again, how do I check for the driver and make sure pulseaudio looks at the right sound card? [16:04] BluesKaj, I thought I knew but I guess I don't [16:05] hakongram, what size hdd ? >2TB ? [16:05] rifter, in phonon device preferences , not sure what that is on unity or gnome , but it's part of phonon === monkeyjuice is now known as rudybotdog [16:06] hi there, do you know if it's possible to fetchmail a google app account? [16:06] BluesKaj, okay I will check it because it is obvious now that the driver is getting unloaded somehow.. otherwise it would know where the sound card was instead of using dummy [16:08] gchristensen: yes I found one for Lucid https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox [16:08] should down load and install from package manager [16:08] rifter, do an aplay -l , then we can see which audio driver module , needs to be "Card 0" default [16:09] BluesKaj, aplay -l shows my card as card0 === rudybotdog is now known as monkeyjuice [16:10] yes , but which driver is loaded [16:10] Can anyone help me? [16:10] deppa in distress !! [16:10] YES! haha [16:10] virgin too? [16:11] ;- ) [16:11] !behelpful | silverarrow [16:11] silverarrow: As our !guidelines say, "When helping, be helpful". If you're not familiar with the issue at hand, let someone else handle it instead of making !offtopic comments or jokes. [16:11] <^GeCk0^> hey there, is there any ubuntu netbook remix for 12.04? [16:11] BluesKaj, it is just weird. pulseaudio does not see the card whereas it is in aplay [16:11] chance is very good someone can help [16:11] sorry, I shall behave bazhang [16:11] ^GeCk0^, not any longer [16:11] !une | ^GeCk0^ [16:11] ^GeCk0^: Starting with Ubuntu 11.04, the Ubuntu Netbook Edition is no longer being offered as a separate install as Unity is now standard for all Ubuntu desktop installs. [16:12] silverarrow: When I shut down or restart, it just goes to the welcome screen and if I try to shut down or restart from there, it won't work. I have to manually turn of the pc. [16:12] <^GeCk0^> bazhang, so witch version of ubuntu/witch desktop should i use now ? [16:12] <^GeCk0^> or can i use the old version and update it? [16:12] ^GeCk0^, 12.04 choose yourself [16:12] !notunity | ^GeCk0^ [16:12] ^GeCk0^: 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 [16:13] BluesKaj, is there a way to tell it to go look again for cards? [16:13] deppa, so some sort of error in the boot menu funtions [16:13] hmm [16:13] <^GeCk0^> hm ok thanks [16:13] ok, got fstab working fine....youtube is my friend ;-) [16:14] BluesKaj, what I don't get is the login screen is using pulseaudio and it works fine [16:14] rifter, what chip is listed in alsamixer? [16:14] deppa, you mean you have to hold in the on/off button to shut down? [16:14] BluesKaj, HDA NVidia which is what shows in aplay -l [16:14] silverarrow: yes [16:15] deppa I see, that must be sorted out [16:15] BluesKaj, gonna try rebooting again.. and see what is up [16:15] silverarrow: yes [16:16] what is the correct syntax for "screen strings * | grep any" when i want the whoel command in the screen incl grep [16:17] silverarrow: Also, it only happens when I have multiple users logged on. If it is just me that is logged on, I can shut down/restart with no problem. [16:18] how [16:18] deppa: I see, that complicates it a bit [16:18] hallo [16:19] rifter, what does lsmod | grep snd output , pastebin pls [16:19] deppa, do you log out before shutdown or go straight for shutdown? [16:19] hello, every time I open my ubuntu 12 system, I need to go to disks and activate my swap partition, to enable the hibernate function, any advice to let it be automatically set? [16:20] silverarrow: I go straight to shut down. [16:20] deppa: which should work fine really [16:20] but it is not [16:20] amr_: how do you activate your swap partition? What command? [16:20] deppa, and from logged out mode? [16:21] I open disks program then click on the external disk which have my 5G swap partition then click on 'activate swap space' button [16:21] BluesKaj, well it's the same. sound works in the login screen but once I log in as myself or the new user I created to test this I have no sound, and the sound settings show "dummy output." I don't have anything phonon installed as far as I can tell. Do you know how I can tell pulseaudio to look at the cards again? [16:22] hello [16:22] silverarrow: Well, it goes into logged out mode after I click shut down and from there, it won't let me shut down no matter how many times I click the button. [16:22] trijntje: I open disks program then click on the external disk which have my 5G swap partition then click on 'activate swap space' button [16:22] BluesKaj, then again it's really strange since the login screen would use pulseaudio also [16:22] I just ran in to a kernel panic... I can't press the power button for 5 seconds to turn off my computer. What can I do? [16:22] amr_: which program? [16:22] Disks, it's default in the system [16:23] i am using cairo dock, i had my windows music folders and such working fine, on a reboot they show as empty or unreadable through the dock. why is this and how can i fix that [16:23] on a laptop [16:23] deppa, I think you have to be logged out on all accounts to be allowed to shutdown or reboot? [16:23] milo_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [16:23] trijntje: disks [16:23] deppa, did you double check for all logged out on all accounts [16:24] deppa, I am just trouble shooting all options [16:24] rifter, maybe the login just uses alsa and not pulse [16:24] trijntje, thanks... I was just about to force remove the laptop's battery. :s [16:24] Hi, Could anyone can help me confirm if Nautilus in Ubuntu 12.04 has file tagging support? [16:24] amr_: you can add an extra line to /etc/fstab for your swap file [16:24] BluesKaj, possible... [16:25] anyone here who can help me on how can i change the "ubuntu 12.04" text on full encryption? [16:25] silverarrow: No. I just shut down. I know for a fact that my mom has been logged in when I try to shut down and that's when it happens. Is it impossible for anyone to shut down if other users are logged in? [16:25] trijntje, how? [16:25] amr_: if your swap is on /dev/sdX, put in: [16:25] /dev/sdX none swap sw 0 0 [16:25] deppa, admin user should be able to shutdown directly [16:25] not the others [16:25] silverarrow: and I am adimin so that's weird. [16:25] amr_: first find out where your swap partition is, and then edit /etc/fstab with alt+f2 -> gksu gedit /etc/fstab [16:25] anybody [16:26] who is using rvm [16:26] anybody using rvm [16:27] i had problem installing gem [16:27] trijntje: i found this line in fstab file >>>>>> # swap was on /dev/sdb5 during installation [16:27] UUID=5463df7e-58f8-423d-b37b-3de5e0ed5265 none swap sw 0 0 [16:27] deppa, I found thread on the Ubuntu forum on this, and there seem to have been a bug affecting several, but it was in Mai [16:27] deppa, and for 12.04 [16:27] !ask | savio [16:27] savio: 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 [16:27] should have been sorted out by now [16:28] anyone knows how do I find the processes which start on boot automatically...something like update-rc.d stuff im missing ?? [16:28] silverarrow: Well I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 with Unity the other day. [16:28] you have done all updates ? [16:29] deppa, updates should really have taken care of this if the bug is fixed [16:29] trijntje, do i have to comment this line and write what you tell me? [16:29] no one? [16:29] silverarrow: This is quite a quandary. [16:30] amr_: that looks like your swap partition. What happens when you run the following in a terminal (ctrl + alt + t): sudo swapoff -a && sudo swapon -a [16:30] do you still have a swap afterwards? [16:30] asking again: what is the correct syntax for "screen strings * | grep any" when i want the whoel command in the screen incl grep [16:31] yes, and I am afraid you need someone who knows the boot-functions better than I do, but hang around, there are people who know here [16:31] trijntje: here is the result >> swapon: cannot find the device for UUID=5463df7e-58f8-423d-b37b-3de5e0ed5265 [16:31] deppa,sorry that was intended for you [16:31] silverarrow: I saw it. Thank you so much, though! [16:31] user82: I dont understand the question [16:32] amr_: looks like you changed or moved your swap partition, and that is why it's not activated automatically [16:32] deppa, you can try with double checking for logged out for all users at least [16:32] BluesKaj, found the answer. looks like I had installed randomsound which is a program that gets entropy from the sound card [16:32] hello [16:32] do you know which partition you swap is on? [16:32] what are the files that are related to groups management [16:32] other than etc/group [16:32] ? [16:32] kstampo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:32] deppa, until you get real solution [16:32] BluesKaj, removing that is what fixed it [16:32] silverarrow: can I log others out using the terminal? [16:32] trijntje if i do "screen strings * | grep any" i get "strings *" in the screen and the | grep any uses the stdout of screen [16:32] I commented the uuid by # in the first of the line and will put this line instead >> /dev/sdb5 none swap sw 0 0 [16:33] that is not what i wanted..i wanted the whole thing packed into screen [16:33] deppa, not sure, but I think so [16:33] trijntje: I commented the uuid by # in the first of the line and will put this line instead >> /dev/sdb5 none swap sw 0 0 is this a good idea? [16:33] amr_: if /dev/sdb5 is your swap partition: yes [16:33] well, everything can be done from terminal if you just know how deppa, but I am learning this too [16:34] trijntje, yes it should be , thank you i will restart and see [16:34] deppa, let me check [16:34] help please ? [16:34] silverarrow: ok thanks! [16:34] how do i correctly integrate my windows folders on cardio dock? [16:34] deppa, have you tried "sudo shutdown" in terminal? [16:35] or "sudo reboot" deppa? [16:35] a drag n drop worked but on reboot wasnt able to access the files again through the dock shortcuts === james is now known as Guest21699 [16:35] silverarrow: I can try. [16:35] user82: still not getting it. Can you explain what you want to do in words? [16:35] anyone know if the ubuntu purchase store is down and for how long? [16:36] dr_willis, maybe you could help me [16:36] what are the files that are related to groups management ? [16:36] deppa, I found this guide, you have to shroll down to 11.10 version which is the same as for 12.04 [16:36] trijntje i want to run "string * | grep any" which prints the strings in all files in the dir and then searches for the term any so only results with any is what i get. and this whole thing i want to get into a screen so i can detach it [16:36] deppa http://askubuntu.com/questions/15795/how-can-you-log-out-via-the-terminal === setkeh_ is now known as setkeh [16:36] I would like to "not use standard gateway" on a vpn connection, so I could use my own internet as well as resources on vpn network. Help? [16:37] trijntje but if i put screen in front of it the | goes wrong [16:37] I want to upload a base 64 image [16:37] deppa, in general it seems to be "gnome-session quit" [16:37] so i thought maybe i need screen 'string * | grep any' or so on [16:37] in django forms, does the usual filefield in django model work? [16:38] to get the | grep to sue the stdout of string not for screen === milind is now known as abyss42 [16:38] deppa, this is rather new to me to, I don`t have multiple users on my computer [16:38] silverarrow: I tried using the terminal. The command was sudo shutdown -r now to restart [16:41] deppa_: I think I have used simple "sudo reboot" from terminal and it has worke, but then again I don`t have multiple users [16:41] deppa_: sudo init 6 [16:42] Sokel: Can you help with this problem? [16:43] deppa_: What's the problem exactly [16:44] trijntje, thank you all work fine now [16:44] deppa_ Sokel , if it is still a bug with boot manger or user-account manager it should be reported? [16:44] Sokel: When I try to reboot/shut down with multiple users logged in, it will take me to the welcome screen and will not shut down/restart even when I press the button from there. I have to hold the power button to shut down. [16:44] deppa_: Why can't you just type sudo init 6 at the terminal [16:45] Sokel: Well I could but my mom also uses this computer and I don't think she would know how to use the terminal (she's older haha). [16:46] deppa_: Ever thought about logging out when you're done? [16:46] deppa_: I think it`s more practis than age really [16:46] Sokel: Yeah but I just think it would be so much easier just to use the shut down button. [16:47] with intel hd4000 graphics can you watch mkv videos with hardware acceleration? [16:47] deppa_: tru it should be fixed [16:47] deppa_: So what you're saying is... you'd rather stay logged in when you're done using the computer? If you're done using it and others use it, just log off. If a single user is logged in, then it should shut down normally. [16:47] typos galore today [16:48] it is intel core i5 ivy bridge graphics [16:48] Sokel: But I would rather fix the problem than try to find my way around it. [16:49] deppa_: the simplest really is to check for users logged in, even if admin-user should be able to shut-down directly [16:49] deppa_: Lookup policy kit. And then you can fix that issue. [16:49] deppa_: It's a policy in place that says if others are logged in, no system shut down. [16:50] silverarrow Sokel: Thanks to you both! [16:50] trijntje, i had problem with installing gem i install ruby with rvm [16:50] I would like to "not use standard gateway" on a vpn connection, so I could use my own internet as well as resources on vpn network. Help? [16:50] camfrog [16:51] deppa_: :- ) [16:51] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1176250/ [16:53] hi [16:54] hiiiii [16:54] can you watch mkv videos hardware accelerated with intel hd 4000 gpu integrated in core i5? hardware accelerated means gpu making decoding not cpu [16:56] !vdpau | dontknow [16:57] Hi yall. Im having a DBserver running mongodb which is backed by a raid0(512+256 SSD) running on a ESXi host. When I query my machine really hard it sometimes locks up. [16:57] subz3r0, yes nvidia uses it. i am asking if it works with intel hd 4000 [16:57] i have problem installing gem with rvm === luist_ is now known as luist [16:58] Load goes up to 40 and I cant stop the mongoprocess or restart the machine, I have to "hard restart" it. I guess this is related to a faulty disk, but smart-ctl doesnt seem to work in ESXi guests. [16:58] Is that a common pattern amongs disk-failures? Mega-load and unable to kill processes and restart the machine(init 6) [16:58] Why ubuntu installer is not loading my SAS drives [16:59] Its very irregular how the machine locks up, sometime it takes a couple of hours, sometimes ~30 min. As long as I dont query the DB hard everything is groovy. [17:04] hi, I'm looking for ebook management app but not calibre, are there any other application? [17:05] hi. I upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04. However, in /etc/apt/sources.list I still see "oneiric" in the lines of repos [17:05] why? [17:06] anyone know how can i change the encrypted plymouth logo/text? [17:06] hi there [17:06] I need support :p [17:06] does anyone has 5min ? [17:06] have* [17:07] I want to mount an internal DD, but once I try to mount it, it is said that it's not a block [17:07] I wish i had 5min... would be very useful to me... [17:07] sloopy: isn't 24H a day enough ? [17:07] hardly! [17:07] Kii, how is it failing to mount? [17:08] I think i try to mount something already mounted [17:08] Kii: a DD? like a dd image? [17:08] Kii, i am up 18-20 hours/day... and still behind... [17:08] ho, sory, DD is french for harddrive [17:08] oh [17:08] disque dur ... [17:08] lol [17:08] dur? [17:09] means "harsh" [17:09] ahh cool [17:09] it is (uncommonly) used in the US, but HD/HDD is most common.. [17:09] is it bad when smoke is coming out of my laptop? [17:09] Studious: it seems so [17:09] Studious: most likely [17:10] Studious: at which point one would assume something is burning [17:10] Studious, this has been known to cause problems... [17:10] so, my HDD is mounted in /media/DATA, but I don't think it's mounted automaticly [17:10] remove laptop from lap immediately or face severe burning [17:10] last time it caught fire and I had to do a whole lot of spitting to put it out [17:10] yuk [17:11] good thing I spit dollar bills [17:11] Kii, is it listed in fstab? [17:11] do i have to mount from /dev ? [17:11] well as logical at that seems fire nor water are healthy for a computer [17:11] i dont have fstab :/ [17:11] /etc/fstab [17:11] yes you do ;) [17:11] !fstab [17:11] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [17:11] fstabs always there =) [17:12] dr_willis, greetings, been a while... [17:12] its like michael meyers (@bad fstab jokes) [17:12] "command not found" I'll dl it [17:12] Kii: its a file [17:12] ho [17:12] Kii: fstab is not a command..... [17:12] :/ [17:12] sorry xD [17:12] Kii: view /etc/fstab take a loow [17:12] *look [17:12] Kii, um, read the bot preachings again... [17:13] yes. a read of the bot url pages.. would be handy [17:13] allright, i opened it, what should i see ? [17:13] the layout of your drives and how they are mounted [17:13] a list of partitions to be mounted... [17:13] along with what options they are mounted with and which drivers [17:14] does this "ext4 errors=remount-ro" is significant ? [17:14] Kii: which line do you see that on? thats not a complete line [17:14] Kii, yeah, it means that partition is formated with ext4, and if there are errors on it, it is to be mounted read-only [17:14] Kii: is it on the line of the disk/partition you are having problems with? [17:15] yep [17:15] but i wanted to find where it was in /dev [17:15] i found it [17:15] there anyone hacker !! [17:15] Kii: is there a file system on the device? [17:15] now i think i can mount it [17:15] yep [17:15] shinigami: try ##network [17:15] okies [17:15] ok thx [17:15] lol @ that ActionParsnip [17:16] join /#network [17:16] or #lumberjacks [17:16] ##hack === usr is now known as Guest58537 [17:16] but you wont like it in there.. [17:16] shinigami: try: /join #networks [17:16] done [17:16] about make/makefiles... suppose that "foo.out" depends on "foo.c" and "bar.a"... is there a way to avoid rebuilding "bar.a", even if "bar.c" is newer (or even absent)? [17:16] lols [17:17] oooooops [17:17] Kii: becareful [17:17] tavl: i'd ask in #programming [17:17] tavl: i believe you can touch the file, then rebuild (maybe) [17:17] is there a way i can keep my windows partition mounted permanently? [17:18] sure Newtoubuntu [17:18] put it in fstab and use the relevant driver most likely ntfs-3g [17:18] Newtoubuntu: put an entry in the fstab file for it [17:18] Newtoubuntu: add an entry for it in /etc/fstab [17:18] !ntfs-3g [17:18] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions.

[17:26] thank you, i will do what you told me [17:26] acer: are you always this impatient, its particularly annoying [17:26] Hi. I'm trying to combine two icon themes. When I go to icons on root nautilus, if I make a copy of the folder I want to use to start modifying it, if I choose that folder as icon theme, it's nothing like its copy (and, since it's its copy, should look the same). What am I missing? Thanks for help! [17:26] anyone know how to setup hdmi sound for nvidia gt 240 in xbmc with pulseaudio? default/non high quality sound stuff works but others dont :-/ [17:26] Pierreb: is the hdmi set as the output device in sound settings? [17:27] Pierreb: is it set in alsamixer too? [17:27] Hellow! I've installed ISO image of Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit on USB key with unetbootin and i get BOOTMGR is missing [17:27] and ideas? [17:27] Pierreb: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc [17:27] kubanc: did you install grub? [17:27] kubanc: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [17:27] i have ubuntu 12.04 maas juju installed ... eth0 for lan and eth1 for internet ... and i am trying to figgure out why i only have nameserver 127.0.0.1 .. i am trying to figgure out how i can use dns on web for eth1 and local dns for eth0 and wondering why there is no search defaultdomain in resolv.conf eather [17:27] ActionParsnip: presise [17:28] ActionParsnip, i'm not impatient as not allowing you to type, but in as not bothering waiting for a message board reply, sometimes people skip the text after, dont worry, no need to feel im beeing impatient at all [17:28] ActionParsnip: yes it is i can play in vlc too and get sound [17:28] Pierreb: then you have a corrpted OS, it's spelt incorrectly [17:28] ActionParsnip: you think? [17:28] ActionParsnip, NO [17:28] Hi, looking for a spot of help [17:28] jgcampbell300: are you configured via dhcp? [17:28] acer: well when you reply so quickly to prompt for responce within only a few seconds, you come across as such [17:28] ActionParsnip: i would guess i was spelling wrong but sure be a smartass [17:28] chris__: just ask [17:29] kubanc: then how did you know the ISO was complete and consistent? [17:29] installed 12.04 and everything was running smooth, then i wanted to remove and fresh install, with a swap drive inc. etc... what do people recomend for a partition list? [17:29] Pierreb: all you had to do was copy and paste it, [17:29] ActionParsnip, I'm hoping everytinh is OK [17:29] :D [17:29] kubanc: i've seen installs where grub either iddn't install or it went to the wrong partition [17:29] kubanc: thats not suficient [17:29] uberamd: i have read throu most of the config and templets and i am not sure where to make changes safely [17:29] ActionParsnip, I agree [17:29] jgcampbell300: but is eth0 and eth1 configured via dhcp? [17:29] ActionParsnip, does it matter if i have fat32 or ntfs usb key? [17:30] ActionParsnip: precise, happy? :) [17:30] uberamd: oh .. no ... interfaces [17:30] kubanc: if it installed then no... [17:30] kubanc: use FAT32 but you need to check the ISO is good [17:30] Pierreb: sounds like an XBMC setting [17:30] when installing ubuntu, is it worth having a boot drive, storage area and a swap drive? [17:30] or all in one? [17:31] chris__: if you're a beginner then all in 1 is fine [17:31] ActionParsnip: i would guess so too [17:31] chris__: I usually give myself a 200MB boot and 2xRAM swap [17:31] Pierreb: try in #xbmc too:) [17:31] in ext2,3 or 4? [17:31] 3 [17:31] chris__: I personally do ext3 for boot, ext4 for / [17:32] uberamd: why a seperate partition for boot? [17:32] i was thinking about a 4gb swap, 20gb for boot and remaining 250ish for storage space [17:32] chris__: swap doesn't need to be > 200MB [17:32] ActionParsnip, lol, the the md5 showed different :D [17:32] chris__: er... boot lol [17:32] chris__: boot is used by grub, 200MB is more than enough [17:32] kubanc: always ALWAYS check the MD5sum of the ISO yo download. Its there for a reason [17:33] kubanc: its the first thing I always ask and everyone replies 'no' [17:33] ActionParsnip: kubanc he is right. However, and this is just anecdotal, but I've never MD5summed an ISO in 15 years and haven't ever had a problem. [17:33] ok, so make an ext3 space of 200mb for boot and 4gb swap with 270gb in ext4 for files etc... [17:33] ive checked the MD5sum and all is fine [17:33] chris__: yes. If you plan to do a lot of development then maybe up swap [17:34] uberamd: must've got lucky, or used torrent === ^GeCk0^ is now known as DjGeCk0 [17:34] like 10gb swap? [17:34] uberamd: do i need to configure eth0 and eth1 in dnsmasq.conf [17:34] uberamd: swap needs to be a little bigger than RAM if you need suspend etc [17:34] chris__: it wouldn't hurt. Some projects I've done require 8GB swap or more [17:34] ActionParsnip: I have a rule, swap = 2xRAM [17:35] i'll go 10gb swap then, and just have one large 290GB space in ext3 for the installation and files? [17:35] uberamd: only if you have less than 2Gb RAM [17:35] chris__: I'd do ext4 for / [17:36] chris__, I also use a setup where my /home dirs are on a different partition as well. [17:36] is it worth me making a boot? [17:36] chris__: i would, set it as ext3, and 200MB. fairly easy. === DjGeCk0 is now known as ^GeCk0^ [17:37] just adding a partition to the list. doing it on custom install option when installing [17:37] chris__: advanced users do what tagrape said and put /home on a diff partition. However then you really need to know how bit you want / compared to /home [17:37] I am getting some emacs23-x that apparently crashes at login [17:37] and always wants to send a bug report [17:38] do i need to make the 200mb boot the primary? [17:38] chris__: You can make them all primary if you want [17:38] 200mb boot for ubuntu12.04, that just seems really small [17:39] chris__: Boot only contains grub files, it doesn't contain the Ubuntu ISO or anything. You'll likely have < 100 MB used after install === codemaniac is now known as arijit [17:39] chris__: i wont stop you from making it 50TB if you want, but that's a waste of space. [17:40] uberamd: you recommend i make a seperate /home aswel or just have the remaining space as / [17:40] uberamd: lol [17:40] hi all [17:41] chris__: no, I don't do seperate /home. Why? because do you know how big you want /home? All your downloads will go there. Music, etc. So you need to make /home huge but leave enough space for / which is hard to know [17:41] uberamd: ok, i'll just run with / in ext4 for the remaining [17:41] chris__: perfect [17:42] chris__: some info at: http://superuser.com/questions/66015/installing-ubuntu-do-i-really-need-a-boot-parition === ^GeCk0^ is now known as DjGeCk0 [17:43] I would like to "not use standard gateway" on a vpn connection, so I could use my own internet as well as resources on vpn network. Help? [17:43] uberamd: thanks, one last question, is it better to have primary or logical? [17:43] chris__: I do primary for everything until I can't make anymore then I use logical. There are differences, but generally end users should just go primary unless the installer says they cant [17:43] chris__: a hard drive can have (iirc) 6 primary partitions [17:44] Hii all I am gaurav from india. [17:44] is lircd still used for getting the input from the IR sensor on my tuner card? [17:45] I have an issue. I am working in an academic institution and recently procured 2 IBM servers. Server: IBM x3400 m3 model and ncomputing solution. [17:46] uberamd: thats cool. just setting up the new partitions, completely wiped the prev ubuntu install, and adding 200mb ext3 /boot, 10gb swap and 309GB / [17:46] gaurav_: IBM... there is the problem. [17:46] chris__: looks good! [17:46] ha [17:47] chris__: i was wrong, not that it matters. A drive can have 4 primary partitions, the rest need to be logical/extended. However it really makes no difference to the OS whether its pri/logi [17:47] is there any easy way to get IR set up. it used to work on my pchdtv card, but I no longer have room for that card on my system. now I need to get it working on my pchdtv card [17:47] I wasn't able to install 10.04 server on the server. The hardware didn't had any issue if i installed the ubuntu 10.04 but it didn't boot at all. [17:47] pcHDTV HD5000 HDTV I think [17:47] gaurav__: did you install grub? [17:48] gaurav__: or did the install cd not boot? [17:48] gaurav__, Use the live CD to look at the install and make sure all the confs needed like grub were installed [17:48] uberamd: does it matter if the new partitions go at the beginning or at the end? [17:48] Studious: Yes. I did [17:48] gaurav__, that's where i'd start. [17:49] chris__: I start at the beginning and work my way to the end. /boot will be at 0-200MB, swap will be from 201-XXXXMB, etc [17:49] Studious: I installed the system, but when i restarted the system it didn't boot at all. [17:49] gaurav__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [17:50] gaurav_: go into the bios, and check to make sure the disk that the os is installed is 1st in boot order [17:51] Studious: I did that and it was in first boot order. Since when i installed windows server 2008 it booted correctly [17:51] Studious: but ubuntu didn't [17:51] gaurav_: when you installed the os, did you format the disk or partition it? [17:52] MBR can be somewhere else then where the OS is installed tho [17:52] gaurav_: if you are dual booting with server 2008, then the bootloader grub must be on mbr [17:52] uberamd: do you guys bother encrypting the home folder? [17:52] gaurav_: so you can choose between server 2008 and ubuntu [17:52] chris__: nada. It lets me access it from other accounts if needed [17:53] Studious:i also tried boot-repair utility it also didn;t hempled me [17:53] its more for shared systems or when u have really important data someone might want to steal [17:54] Studious:i want to use ubuntu anyhow. because ubuntu is faster and more responsive than windows. [17:54] gaurav_: what happens when you turn the server on? just hangs with black screen or does it show/say anything [17:54] lol [17:55] Studious:i am dual booting with windows 2008. Server boots into windows [17:56] gaurav_: so then you need to edit boot.ini in windows to include the ubuntu partition in the menuentry bootorder [17:56] gaurav_: this way you can select ubuntu on server bootup [17:57] Studious: one more information i want give at this moment. The server has EFI in it. [17:58] gaurav_: Oh does it? so then now do this... you need to go open your fridge, take a egg, bring a screwdriver, open the server, and cook me an ommlette. [17:58] when is ubuntu going to rolling release? [17:59] theannihilator: never. [17:59] but if u install ubuntu after windows, grub should have windows added in its boot menu :/ [17:59] run debian sid [17:59] thats a rolling release [17:59] theannihilator: Ubuntu should never be a rolling release, much like Fedora [17:59] how do i run this command on ubuntu 12.04: setenv CPP_FLAGS -I/usr/local/include/ , because setenv doesnt exist [17:59] uberamd: all looks to be working, thanks for you help bud [17:59] chris__: no prob, enjoy :) [18:00] i always have to reinstall ubuntu cause i get update failures... [18:00] Studious: I am sorry if i offended you. [18:00] if u get a linux distro working, dont touch it =p [18:00] Shadow`: ain't that the truth [18:00] so ubuntu is not for me lol [18:00] i like bleeding edge [18:00] Shadow`: to expand, don't reboot it either [18:01] theannihilator then get Debian Sid [18:01] Debian Sid or Mint LMDE [18:01] that one is always upto date for the latest and the greatest [18:01] i reinstall every relese to clean out the crud i hear= about and install from being in here. ;) [18:01] uberamd: i rather not reboot any working production system :p [18:01] 2 weeks ago i had a successfull upgrade from 8.04 to 12.04 tho [18:01] Shadow`: We rarely do and a VMware outage yesterday caused a bunch of servers to come back up with read-only file systems [18:02] bbl [18:02] My unity 3d isn't working, but while booting up with the iso cd, unity 3d works, any suggestions?

[18:06] install drivers [18:06] i'm trying to install ubuntu over USb key, and i cannot get any picture on my LCD. Any idea?

So then i always have to use the same methods for both? [18:12] no but it is a way to figure out if you can make it bootable from grub [18:12] then use grub as bootloader [18:12] ok [18:13] Nope, no cd line. "grep '^deb[^-]' /etc/apt/sources.list | grep -i cd" returns nothing. [18:13] just cat it :P [18:13] i have no idea who you're talking to [18:13] !who [18:13] As you can see, this is a large channel.

(the response to ping) [19:06] kanliot: why have you got a * at the end ? [19:06] !ping [19:06] pong! [19:06] ikonia, because i want to find files by name, multiple files [19:06] tabletennis [19:06] kanliot: ok, that's the wrong syntax [19:07] is there any program to auto mount partition in ubuntu 12.04? [19:07] !ping [19:07] another contentless ping... sigh... [19:07] it's 'deep space 9 *' not "deep space 9"* [19:07] lol [19:07] ikonia: probaly set for you [19:07] devish: what ? [19:08] kubanc: make a fstabbb entry for them [19:08] !fstab [19:08] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [19:08] ikonia, i fixed it, and it still says "killed" when i run it as root [19:08] kanliot: how are you running as root ? there is no root account ? [19:08] anyone avaliable to help me with getting flash running right? [19:08] sudo su [19:08] !flash | veric [19:08] veric: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [19:09] kanliot: why ? [19:09] ikonia sudo su [19:09] kanliot: you shouldn't be doing that [19:09] lols [19:09] kanliot: "sudo su" is always a bad idea [19:09] that's what sudo is there for [19:09] haha "its a bad idea" [19:09] Heya. [19:09] and thats being nice about it [19:09] kanliot: please show me the exact command you are using ? [19:10] find -name "Star\ Trek\ DS9\ -*" [19:10] "Sudo su" allows you to access super user without entering a password. This will be active for as long as the terminal is open. Any program you open with Sudo Su will have super user privileges and could mess your Ubuntu Operating System up. [19:10] kanliot: no [19:10] find / -name "Star\ Trek\ DS9\ -*" [19:10] its always depending on the environment [19:10] but yea - w/e [19:10] kanliot: a.) you're using quotes b.) you're exapcing a quoted setup [19:10] kanliot: if i where you i'd use "find / -iname ..." so case isn't an issue [19:10] kanliot: I gave you an example [19:10] kanliot: why have you not used it [19:10] 'sudo su' is bad form. you should use sudo -i or sudo -s for a root shell [19:11] ikonia, i removed the backslashes, same error [19:11] heh [19:11] anyone having problems with git prompt after recent git update? [19:11] kanliot: and the quotes [19:11] how do i sop X server so i can install Nvidia drivers? [19:11] kanliot: single quotes [19:12] kanliot: use the package manager, it does it all for you [19:12] * Tigger__` is away: Gotta go, Dinners ready, take care & be well, I will bbs! TTFN!! Hoo hoo hoo hoo :D [19:12] kanliot: sorry that was for dingbatfoo [19:12] kubanc: you have tried the nvidia drivers from the repos? [19:12] ikonia same error [19:12] this is about environments? dr_willis ? [19:12] Tigger__`: please disable that ascript [19:12] SolarisBoy: you got it. [19:12] kanliot: please show me the exact command you are using [19:12] sudo su hasn't bitten me yet but i feel ya [19:13] ikonia: ok will do ;-) [19:13] Tigger__`: thanks [19:13] theres always that extra dash you can add or leave off of su [19:13] find / -name 'Star Trek DS9 -*' [19:13] after sudo su [19:13] ikonia, what? how does the package manager help with "__git_ps1: command not found" after the recent Pangolin git version upgrade? [19:13] when i was trying to install nvidia drivers from nvidia site i had to disable gdm. read manual about how to do it. [19:13] kanliot: so even after being told not to use sudo su, you're still dong it [19:13] kanliot: why are you even doinf this as root? [19:13] dr_willis, do i find them in ubuntu Software center? [19:14] now for running find there is no need to switch to root [19:14] just run it under sudo [19:14] kubanc: yes..... dont use the ones from nvidia.com unnless you have to... [19:14] How do i make sudo crontab -e open in vim not nano? [19:14] ikonia, even after loggin out of su it still says killed [19:14] kubanc: run 'gksudo jockey-gtk' or the 'addational drivers' tool from the menus [19:14] stan_man_can: set EDITOR [19:15] kanliot: works fine here [19:15] ikonia: I've tried export EDITOR=vim but it's still not working. Do I need to set it for the sudo in a different location? [19:15] kanliot: got knows what you've done to your machine. [19:15] * Tigger__` is back (gone 00:03:24) [19:15] dr_willis, which one do i install. xt4 on an SSD WITHOUT [19:15] stan_man_can: those variables are for users [19:15] so if you need to make it global you should [19:15] Tigger__`: Please remove that script, I won't ask again === LordDeath_ is now known as LordDeath [19:16] stan_man_can: sudo visudo should do it [19:16] kubanc: hard drive type dosent matter.. no idea what an xt4 is... [19:16] dr_willis, i have this options snag.gy/mAJYi.jpg [19:16] how do i add an ntfs partition to fstab so that it is mounted so anyone on the system can use the files (not just root) [19:16] ikonia: I have just removed it ;-) [19:16] SolarisBoy: How do I make it global? [19:16] TheLordOfTime: use uid/gid options in mount [19:16] stan_man_can: /etc/profile [19:16] kubanc: i just install whats reccomended [19:16] i have 12.04, but this package is not in repository: http://support.no-ip.com/customer/portal/articles/363247-installing-the-linux-dynamic-update-client-on-ubuntu [19:17] rethus: ok ? and ? [19:17] ikonia: and i need to know why? have i to add some repositories for it? [19:17] TheLordOfTime: the ntfs-config tool csan auto mate it. the ntfs-3g homepage has docs and examples.. and the ubuntu wiki pages [19:17] !ntfs-3g [19:17] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [19:17] why thes describe it, if it not be [19:17] or just do that... [19:18] rethus: it's not an ubuntu package, you're using a 3rd party guide, [19:18] !info noip2 [19:18] Package noip2 does not exist in precise [19:18] The DUC package is already included in the source tree for most distributions of Ubuntu Linux; [19:18] !info no-ip [19:18] Package no-ip does not exist in precise [19:18] this on the page of the developer [19:18] rethus: well, it's not in ubuntu [19:19] wonder why he write this [19:19] SolarisBoy: I added EDITOR=vim in the /etc/profile and still opening in nano [19:19] ask him [19:19] stan_man_can: did you export it in profile? [19:20] SolarisBoy: so in the profile I add the line export EDITOR=vim, not just EDITOR=vim ? [19:20] AFAIK when you first set a cron job ubuntu opens a menu list and asks which editor you want to use by number selection, eg nano vim.tiny etc [19:20] stan_man_can: yes [19:20] so that EDITOR=vim for everyone [19:20] SolarisBoy: Well I may have chosen nano a long time ago but I'd like to change it to vim now [19:20] ok [19:20] dr_willis: the ntfs-config tool is triggering segfaults [19:21] just use fstab [19:21] SolarisBoy: export EDITOR=vim didn't help either [19:21] stan_man_can: set it to vi [19:21] yea [19:21] u prolly dont have vim installed [19:21] TheLordOfTime: time to read the guides then.. [19:21] but you do have vi installed [19:22] doesn't ubuntu do something with the build option of vim to set the binary name to vi, rather than vim and symlink like the other distros [19:22] i dont think so ikonia [19:22] update-alternatives --config editor might help [19:22] how do i cnahe default remote port in ubuntu 12.04? [19:22] it just installs vi [19:22] antimon: also correct [19:22] SolarisBoy: if you look at vi - it's actually vim [19:22] not for me it wasn't [19:22] SolarisBoy: so you have vim on your machine ? [19:22] stan_man_can: try this: update-alternatives --config editor [19:23] vim tiny by default i thought [19:23] stan_man_can: then choose vim [19:23] ikonia: yes [19:23] ikonia: because i installed it after [19:23] SolarisBoy: so you actually have the vim binary ? [19:23] i compile it yes [19:23] *compiled it [19:23] stan_man_can: sudo apt-get install vim, if you don't have vim isntalled [19:23] rox: that WAS set to /bin/nano before, now i've changed it to /usr/bin/vim.basic but it's still opening in nano [19:23] SolarisBoy: right - you compiled it so of course you've go tit [19:23] rox: i do have vim i use it all the time [19:23] ikonia: thats what im saying dude... [19:23] SolarisBoy: re-read what I said the ubuntu package build vim with the vi vinary [19:23] its NOT installed vi is [19:24] binary [19:24] and setting it to vim is a fail if so [19:24] thats all [19:24] SolarisBoy: why didn't you just install it from the package repository? [19:24] SolarisBoy: the vi binary is vim [19:24] i like patches and updates === n is now known as Guest28587 [19:24] and when i did it i was using a version repos didn't have [19:24] what ? [19:24] That is set to vim now but it's still using nano… do i need to run anything to update it or what [19:24] hi guys, so I'm having some trouble with compiz, its keeps on segfaulting when I'm working on different program, anybody these kind of errors from compiz? [19:24] stan_man_can: what is nano? [19:24] anothe editor [19:25] rox: a terrible editor [19:25] stan_man_can: i know what nano is, i ment to ask, in what situations does nano get run instead of vim? [19:25] rox: sudo crontab -e [19:25] stan_man_can: update-alternatives should have sorted the situation out for you [19:25] heh [19:26] Hello. I need help with fixing the partitions for my computer. I have two disks. One 24 GB SSD and one 500 GB normal hard drive. I figured I would put ubuntu on the SSD disk, but I'm unsure on how to fix with all partitions (swap, bios, root and such). Can anyone help me with this? [19:26] what ? what? is it alarming that vim is out of date on ubuntu? [19:26] PatrikOlsson: what do you mean, fix it ? [19:26] shouldn't be [19:26] how is it broke ? [19:26] SolarisBoy: what are you on about ? [19:27] and vi is whats generally installed on most systems - if ubuntu compiled vim as vi - great [19:27] no [19:27] wont make the EDITOR=vim command work though [19:27] vi is not installed on most systems [19:27] it's symlink to vim normally [19:27] not until vim exists [19:27] PatrikOlsson: w [19:27] no it's not [19:27] there is no vi package [19:27] ikonia: I'm unsure which partition to set "Device for boot loader installation". Or if I should select a partition or only the disc. etc.etc. [19:27] stan_man_can: try this: update-alternatives --get-selections [19:28] stan_man_can: and see, what is set to nano [19:28] PatrikOlsson: is there a reason you've not gone with the ubuntu suggested partitions ? [19:28] boot the ssd.. put grub on the ssd... [19:28] if I wanted to add something to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH that affects all users, what is the best way to do this? [19:28] shade34321: you shouldn't need to do that [19:28] stan_man_can: maybe one of vi, vim or similar setings is set to nano [19:29] ikonia: I did not know there were suggested partitions. When I bought the computer windows had ~5 partitions for backup programs and suchö. [19:29] stan_man_can: will you be able to figure out, how to set those settings to vim? [19:29] rox: nope all the in's are set to vim.basic [19:29] rox: the only thing set to nano is pico [19:29] PatrikOlsson: when you boot the installer it says "use free space" or "use whole disk" [19:29] PatrikOlsson: those are suggeted layouts [19:29] stan_man_can: hmm, what if you run vim.basic? [19:29] stan_man_can: could that be a symlink to nano? [19:29] ikonia: I installed something from source in /opt, should it do it on it's own? [19:29] roxL: opens up vim [19:30] shade34321: it shouldn't need to use ldlibrary path as it will have been linked at compile time [19:30] please help ,can't install gnome 3+ on ubuntu 12+ :( ? [19:30] ikonia: oh ok...is there a way to check this just to be sure? [19:30] stan_man_can: ok, then try this trick: sudo apt-get install vim-gtk [19:30] shade34321: you don't need to check, run the binary, if it runs, it's fine [19:30] hello anyone here? [19:31] ikonia: I must have missed those :/ [19:31] ikonia: I'll check it out. [19:31] stan_man_can: vim-gtk package gives you vim.gtk, but it should also override your default editor [19:31] hello, everyone i have a problem, please help me. [19:31] rox: i'm running a server so there is no gui [19:31] stan_man_can: vim.gtk runs in a gui, if you run it from X, but it runs like regular vim, if you run it from colsole [19:32] !ask | ubuntu-studio [19:32] ubuntu-studio: 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).

Anybody have any ideas? [19:36] airlynx: dont think so [19:36] i wanted to do that also - main problem is it's detected at most as a storage device no? [19:37] airlynx: a second monitor meaning an extended monitor? or a seperate desktop? [19:37] ubuntu-studio, you have to format the drive to ext4 file system in order to be seen by the live OS [19:37] BluesKaj: really? [19:37] ok i do it now [19:37] dr_willis, either or would work, just so I can set a window up to display on the tablet just so I can keep an eye on it while I do other things [19:38] hi [19:38] airlynx: use the actual 'vncserver' not x11vnc or gnomes vino. then you can have a dozen+ seperate hidden desktops you connect to [19:39] ubuntu-studio: use the installer and it will walk you through partitioning and formating the drive the proper way. [19:39] shareiing the 'current' desktop is a specilized case of vnc ussage..one that windows is limited to.. linux can do moar [19:39] SolarisBoy, well , it helps ..no format my act differently on USB live OS thamn a live cd , but if you have any suggestions for ubuntu-studio , then you're welcome to help :)_ [19:40] yes i would say format the drive as you did [19:40] !info tightvnc [19:40] Package tightvnc does not exist in precise [19:40] !find vncserver [19:40] Found: libvncserver-dev, libvncserver0, libvncserver0-dbg, tightvncserver [19:40] !info tightvncserver [19:40] tightvncserver (source: tightvnc): virtual network computing server software.

[19:44] airlynx: you run 'vncserver' get the ip and port #. and put them in the client. [19:44] airlynx: you can set tightvnc to run openbox+xterm only if you wanted to.

[19:53] black_13: dhcp to name the computer? what "name" are you talking about? [19:53] black_13, hmm? [19:53] black_13, you mean the hostname configured in /etc/hostname? [19:53] savio: what is the problem, why wouldn't you want to add the location of the binaries to $PATH? [19:53] savio: Just to confirm, when you think you have everything correctly setup, please pastebin the output of "ls -l /usr/local/; echo $PATH".

[19:54] Ion330HT: i wish you have better luck this time [19:54] Slart: i guess the analogue of this is with suse has an installation setting to not base the hostname on dhcp [19:54] is there anything that needs to be done in order to let other OS connect to an ad-hoc thats created in ubuntu?? [19:54] Ion330HT: and we'll be there to give you a hand, if anything goes wrong [19:54] rox: thanx [19:54] Ion330HT: and your exact video card is? is this a laptop? the addational drivers tool is in the menus somewhere... [19:55] Well I am running the nettop Asrock Ion330 HT [19:55] black_13: I'm not entirely sure but I think I setup the hostname when I installed ubuntu.. not sure if it suggested anything else [19:55] ikonia, Jordan_U saviola@Saviola-PC:~$ ls -la /usr/local/bin/ |grep msf [19:55] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Aug 31 01:24 msfconsole -> /opt/framework3/msf3/msfconsole [19:55] Slart: i would like to have the hostname and domain name be fixed [19:55] so it's not a laptop, as for the exact nvidia card thats in it the only ionfo I keep getting is that its an nvidia ion one.

I am looking at a black screen with some text and it seems that it's stuck on "stopping system v runlevel compatability" there is the marker just blinking [19:59] and /dev/dsp is no more in ubunut [19:59] ubuntu-studio: hmm, i don't think i understand what is wrong there [20:00] ubuntu-studio: you are using the installer program? let it partition the drive as needed. no need to preformat [20:00] Ion330HT: try alt-ctrl-f1 through f7 [20:00] rox, im stuck at installation with a "no root file.." message. [20:01] ubuntu-studio: it wants to know what partition to Assign to / [20:01] same was the problem with me during ubuntu installation as ubuntu-studio. [20:01] is the whole hard disk empty? [20:02] and i'm still wondering why the problem arrived?? [20:02] exten => 111,1,Dial(CONSOLE/dsp) [20:02] no [20:02] dr_willis: that does nothing. It appears that the process has stopped and I don't have prompt yet [20:02] abdullah: try this: sudo apt-get install oss-compat [20:02] * jklowden still confused about how to install xorg on LTS with apt-get. [20:02] abdullah: and restart asterisk afterwards [20:02] tried thsi oss-compat but nothing worked [20:02] Ion330HT: could be some weirdness with ion and the consoles. you should see a login: prompt [20:03] thers win7 host os and i'm trying to install ubuntu on to the 3rd drive [20:03] abdullah: can you Dial /dev/dsp? [20:03] what i have to do for let ubuntu detect my RAID, in the installation ? [20:03] is there a simple way that I can boot directly to prompt? [20:03] Ion330HT: you could boot to recovery, or text mode and run that installer [20:03] no [20:03] !text | Ion330HT [20:03] Ion330HT: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [20:03] even /dev/dsp is miising [20:03] abdullah: it seems, that you are trying to dial through your sound device [20:03] /dev/dsp i thought has been gone for years [20:04] abdullah: i don't think that can be done [20:04] <[snake]> where does ufw save logs after you enable them? [20:04] dsp = the sound card ages ago [20:04] abdullah: what are you trying to achieve? === devanshu is now known as demo === demo is now known as Guest15777 [20:04] i wnat that i call from my sip extention and it should announce on my sound card === Guest15777 is now known as demo_5 [20:04] this is called overhead paging [20:05] abdullah: you should be dialing calling Dial(SIP/number@provider), not Dial(dsp) [20:05] abdullah: and, why don't you just use the alsa device? [20:06] mn [20:06] abdullah: if you want to hear the announcement on your speaker, then just have asterisk use you alsa devices [20:06] abdullah: LMGTFY [20:06] >> what this operator used for [20:06] savio: it appends to file [20:06] http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Setting+up+paging+with+a+sound+card [20:07] is there a way to dismantle the RAID system on a live system? [20:07] savio: for example $ echo foo >> file.txt will append the string "foo" to the end of the content of file file.txt [20:07] i have spent 7 days and nights without any result [20:07] rox can you provide me a useful link to all operator [20:07] then i decided to join irc [20:07] please guide how to use alsa on ubuntu 12.04 [20:08] one more thing /dev/dsp is available on ubunut 8.04 and earlier versions [20:08] abdullah: if you have sound, you are usning alsa [20:08] hello [20:08] probelm is in newer releases [20:08] what network monitor can you recommend? [20:08] dr_willis, how do i assign a partition to / in u-studio if the i do not see any options in the menu but i have a 640gb hard drive onboard? [20:08] I am being ddosed so... [20:08] i can play mpg123 [20:08] but not console/dsp [20:08] dr_willis: I just accessed grub command line. however writing text doesn't do anything [20:09] abdullah: /dev/dsp has been obsoleted years ago i belive.. any guide using it.. would be 3+ yrs old [20:09] Ion330HT: you want the console.. not grub [20:09] i do not mind if /dev/dsp is obsolete [20:09] but asterisk paging works on /dev/dsp [20:09] abdullah: you do mine if its no longer works [20:09] dr_willis: Can I start the console from grub? If so how? [20:09] may be we can change our device [20:09] but how [20:10] Ion330HT: you append the 'text' option to your boot options [20:10] Ion330HT: check the url lets see [20:10] !text [20:10] rox how can i use alsa only [20:10] To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu.

Everything without using any sound! How that's possible? how can I fix this? [20:10] http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Setting+up+paging+with+a+sound+card [20:10] abdullah: well, from what i understand, you are trying to do two things [20:10] abdullah: 1. dial some SIP address [20:10] aaah I see where I went wrong [20:11] Hey guys, I just installed ubuntu on an asus ux32vd, and I'm having trouble with right click. Does anyone have an idea how i can fix it? Right click doesnt work at all [20:11] abdullah: 2. announce, that the the dialing is happening on your local speaker [20:11] abdullah: is that right? [20:11] Ion330HT: the grub menu item for recovery should work also [20:11] right [20:12] same setup works on older releases of ubuntu [20:12] and other distros [20:12] dr_willis: You mean I should try the "Ubuntu, with linux ....... (recovery mode)? [20:12] Ion330HT: that gets to a recovery console.. [20:13] explore it ;) [20:13] I'm using ubuntu 12.04 with gnome-classic-fallback, and alt-tab doesn't work, and unless I click on the taskbar icon, (even if I select the window), it does not appear to bring the window to foreground/switch focus properly. [20:13] alt-tab doesn't work == doesn't appear to do anything. [20:14] dr_willis: I want to "Drop to root shell prompt" right? [20:14] Ion330HT: yep [20:15] Ion330HT: make the disk writeable also.. [20:15] i rarely need the recovery mode. so i dont know its menus [20:15] abdullah: do two things: in your asterisk dconfiguration remove chan_oss and load chan_alsa [20:15] abdullah: that should fix your problem [20:16] even tried this [20:16] ahow the f did i set a password [20:17] let me do once again [20:17] then tell you [20:17] dr_willis: the recovery menu options are: Resume (resume normal boot), clean (try to make free space), dpkg (repair broken packages), failsafeX (run in failsafe graphic mode), fsck (check all file systems), grub (update grub bootloader), network (enable network), root (drop to root shell prompt), system-summary (system summary) I'm standing at root now [20:18] hey guys can i drag and drop screenshots here? [20:18] !screenshot | ubuntu-studio [20:18] ubuntu-studio: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. [20:18] adobeair installer est en .bin [20:18] tu avais raison [20:18] maybe someone can help, I just installed Inkscape, there are missing two libraries: libgtkmm-2.4.so.1, libgdkmm-2.4.so.1 but I found /usr/lib/libgtkmm-3.0.so.1 & /usr/lib/libgdkmm-3.0.so.1 installed, should I wait for new Inkscape version or can I do something? [20:18] hello...im looking for Dave Russell from Canonical [20:19] abdullah: also configure alsa in /etc/asterisk/alsa.conf [20:19] anyone know how i can reach him? [20:19] or email? [20:19] Executing [199@longdistance:1] Dial("SIP/120-00000001", "console/dsp,20,A(beep)") in new stack [20:19] chan_oss.c:489 setformat: Unable to re-open DSP device /dev/dsp: No such file or directory [20:20] abdullah: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+config+alsa.conf [20:20] dr_willis: Ok so I tried to ls to see where I am at but that didn't do anything [20:20] achandra: this channel is for ubuntu support, not really affiliated with canonical [20:20] abdullah: that's because you are still trying to use OSS [20:20] !info oss-compat | abdullah tried this? [20:20] Ion330HT: you are in roots home /root/ i imagine [20:20] abdullah tried this?: oss-compat (source: oss-compat): Open Sound System (OSS) compatibility package. In component universe, is extra. Version 1 (precise), package size 4 kB, installed size 53 kB [20:20] abdullah: you have alsa drivers installed, just tell asterisk to use alsa [20:20] Ion330HT: 'pwd' command will show you. or the promot [20:20] prompt [20:20] achandra: maybe worth a try as starting point: https://launchpad.net/~drussell [20:20] abdullah: load the chan_alsa module and configure alsa in /etc/asterisk/alsa.conf [20:21] now I have ;noload => chan_alsa.so and noload => chan_oss.so [20:21] in modules.conf [20:21] abdullah: that should be right, but still, you need to set your /etc/asterisk/alsa.conf properly === ceradon-away is now known as euphoria [20:21] abdullah: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+config+alsa.conf [20:21] i can see alsa.conf there [20:21] but what to enable here [20:22] I can see /root but how do I access it? Normal cd doesn't seem to be working [20:22] http://imagebin.org/226483 im stuck! [20:22] Ion330HT: cd /path/to/cd/to [20:22] Let me ask the question a different way. I see "http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise universe" in sources.list. I also find on that server an x11 directory: us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu/pool/universe/x/x11-apps/. Is that what apt-get is looking for? Do I need to adjust my sources.list for that location? [20:23] jklowden: if you just install a window manager it should pull in all needed xorg dependecnies [20:23] abdullah: and instead of commenting out ;noload chan_alsa.so, you should specify load chan_alsa.so [20:23] Anyone know some good JPEG introspection software? [20:23] Like TweakPNG for JPEGs [20:24] oh ok [20:24] let me change it [20:24] Thanks, dr_willis. What's a little one these days? Fluxbox? [20:25] rox noload_alse comment means we are loading it [20:25] does anyone know of a project or application that enables you to use your keyboard and mice as bluetooth HID devices? [20:25] and noload_oss means we are stoping it [20:25] dr_Willis: Ok so I have arrived at the file but it tells me permission denied, could possibly because I have cmod +x the file before trying to install it because it said so in one of the tutorials I tried to follow [20:25] Hi there guys, Can anybody advise ? Ubuntu shows my wireless connection as 'eth1' I want to make it 'wlan0' [20:26] Dragonfly: any specific reason, or just for looks? [20:26] guntbertubootu: http://imagebin.org/226485 can you see [20:26] is there an ubuntu root password? [20:27] Yeah. [20:27] fjdsarewio: no [20:27] ubuntu-studio: yes, we can see that [20:27] Try sudo su - [20:27] how am i supposed to install gentoo [20:27] Dragonfly: look in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [20:27] Then set it yourself. [20:27] fjdsarewio: wrong channel for gentoo questions [20:27] testeroo: don't suggest things that are wrong.... [20:27] Hey guys, I setup a cron entry from cron.hourly, but it's not activating - what command should I run to have it activate my change? Thanks [20:27] ROX anyway, i have now load_alsa [20:27] !root | fjdsarewio [20:27] fjdsarewio: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [20:27] how can I use the command line to get to the trash? [20:28] and in alsa.conf it is now output_device=hw:0,0 [20:28] !trash [20:28] Your GUI file manager's Trash folder is located at ~/.local/share/Trash/ for files moved to trash from your hard disk and .../.Trash-userid/ on external devices for files moved to trash from the device. [20:28] and now message is chan_alsa.c:481 alsa_read: Read error: Resource temporarily unavailable [20:28] does anyone know of a project or application that enables you to use your keyboard and mice as bluetooth HID devices? [20:28] guntbert why not "sudo passwd root" [20:28] ^ [20:29] Because the moderator thinks he's god. [20:29] Ah, the problem is apt-get can't install anything. "sudo apt-get install emacs23" fails with "Unable to locate package emacs23" but ftp works. [20:29] lickalott: setting a root password is not supported here (neither is having one set) [20:29] And doesn't have anything to do with installing gentoo. === g_byers is now known as g_byers[Away] [20:30] krabbel: the file is configured correctly, it is set to prefix the wireless connection with 'wlan' but still ifconfig shows it as eth1 [20:30] abdullah: hmmm, now what you need to do is to give the user, under which asterisk is running, permission to write the device [20:30] !noroot | lickalott [20:30] lickalott: We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. [20:30] please guide [20:30] Dragonfly: so did you change the name there? you would need to reboot I think. [20:30] or write command for permission thing [20:30] ubottu: why is that so? i'm not trying to start a holy war here, i'm just asking [20:30] which file need permission [20:31] rox: its stated here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [20:31] abdullah: hmm, i don't know how your asterisk is running [20:31] dr_Willis: Ok so I have arrived at the file but it tells me permission denied, could possibly because I have cmod +x the file before trying to install it because it said so in one of the tutorials I tried to follow [20:31] Pici, So im on a VM instance of 12.04 ... and there seems to be no ~/.local file [20:31] krababbel: I didnt change anything in there, file is configured correctly and I've rebooted many times trying different things for it. [20:31] asterisk is running for user asterisk and group is also asterisk [20:31] rox: guntbert Sounds like they just want to protect users from themselves [20:32] Dragonfly: maybe paste the line about this connection in the file here [20:32] abdullah: and the device is probably root:root [20:32] Hey guys, I setup a cron entry from cron.hourly, but it's not activating - what command should I run to have it activate my change? Thanks [20:32] - [20:33] rox are you talking about /dev/dsp [20:33] Dr4g: what do you mean you "setup a cron entry from" [20:33] abdullah: how about this: chown root:asterisk /dev/YOUR-DEVICE [20:33] krababbel: here it is SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="b4:74:9f:7b:75:ee", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="wlan*", NAME="wlan0" [20:33] Dragonfly: other than that, i don't know, sorry [20:33] abdullah: and they chmod 770 /dev/YOUR-DEVICE [20:33] does anyone know of a project or application that enables you to use your keyboard and mouse as bluetooth HID devices? [20:33] uberamd: i added my command to the cron.hourly file, but it's not executing it [20:33] Is http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ a valid repository location? What do you use? [20:33] abdullah: no, we have already established, that /dev/dsp does not exist on your machine [20:34] krababbel: No problem, I'll seek someone else' help [20:34] so which device i should look now [20:34] Dragonfly: Is this an integrated wifi ? [20:34] abdullah: the one you have configured in /etc/asterisk/alsa.conf [20:34] Dr4g: you could try doing a sudo touch /etc/cron.d/ [20:34] i can change permissions but for which device [20:34] uberamd: thanks. [20:34] abdullah: the one configured under the item OUTPUT_DEVICE [20:35] uberamd: i'll try. [20:35] ; To set which ALSA device to use, change this parameter ;input_device=hw:0,0 output_device=hw:0,0 [20:35] krababbel: yes it is a broadcom wireless card integrated into motherboard. [20:35] uberamd: you need to restart cron [20:35] http://imagebin.org/226485 i am stuck ! T_T [20:35] uberamd: isn't touch for files, you gave me a DIR path. [20:35] what is output_device=hw0,0 [20:35] rox: how to I restart the cron [20:35] abdullah: i don't know how these devices translate to device files, google it [20:36] Dr4g: service cron restart [20:36] i am failed at google since it is 7th day now [20:36] rox: thanks, i'll see how this goes [20:37] and thanks uberamd for the help too.

[20:37] Dr4g: if you use the crontab command, you don't have to restart cron [20:38] Dr4g: it changes the timestamp on the directory and tells cron to update [20:38] uberamd: good to know [20:39] Dragonfly: does the same happen in termnial with 'ip link'? Where is wlan0 called eth1? [20:39] what permissions will a user's new file have after they upload it via ftp ? how can i determine this from the commandline ? thx [20:40] rox this is what I've found --- physical id: 14.5 bus info: pci@0000:00:14.5 [20:41] krababbel: when I view 'ifconfig' it shows me 3 connections "eth0" for ethernet "eth1" for wireless card and "lo" for loopback. loopback and ethernet are all good I just need to rename the eth1 to wlan0 because I used to write wlan0 when referring to my wireless connection and it is causing a lot of confusions now [20:41] and this one also aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: IXP [ATI IXP], device 0: ATI IXP AC97 [ATI IXP AC97] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 [20:43] I want to thank the folks who helped me this week while I was figuring out how to install xubuntu on my HP Mini 1000 that had a MAC OS, using a PC-created USB flash drive.

What is a better choice, Intel Chipsets or nVidia Chipsets? I need to have a smooth upgrade since it is a production system. [20:57] ubuntu-studio: you need to tell it which partition to use as / (root) for your install [20:57] auronandace: how to do that [20:58] ubuntu-studio: look at the partitions that are shown and select one to be used, put the mountpoint as / [20:59] if i install openssh-server will it auto start on boot? [20:59] auronandace: during the install procedure, at the partitioning phase, you either select default, wehich does it for you, or you partition yourself [20:59] Troy: yes. [20:59] Troy^: yes (it should anyways) [20:59] auronandance: installation menu does not show any partition options. [21:00] ok thank you DrDamnit and zykotick9 [21:00] ubuntu-studio: partitioning will come up later during the procedure [21:00] if I've got a VM running ... and I want to boot into the GUI... what would the command be?

So, with your two drives, did you stripe or mirror? [21:03] BlueKaj: Great link. Thanks. Need Mobo recommendations, however, because it is a custom Asterisk PBX I am building, and don't want to fool with riser cards to install T1's, etc... [21:04] ratcheer: there mirrored as RAID 1 is mirroring [21:04] For some strange reason VLC has taken over my torrent download default and Transmission isn't being allowed to download any files, how do I remedy this problem?

[21:05] ratcheer: honestly I really don't even need RAID 1 for what i need. but since i had the opportunity i thought it would be cool and I can use it to back up other PCs in the house i guess [21:05] maheanuu right click on a torrent, open with, select other default [21:05] is there a way to get ubuntu to spit back a cpu temp? [21:06] MonkeyDust, there is no other and when I go to find Transmission it doesn't show [21:06] is RAID0 supposed to be slower than RAID1? [21:06] Troy^: lm-sensors [21:06] Troy^: "sensors" from terminal [21:07] thanks, need to setup static ip. and start installing some packages for the server [21:08] cat [21:08] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1176656/ [21:08] DrDamnit, well Isuppose you could take a look at the mobos on the recommended boxes [21:08] is that my cpu temp? [21:09] Troy^: Probably. [21:09] rox should i leave the channel now [21:10] or you have any solution [21:10] Troy^: Here's what mine looks like: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1176662/ [21:10] what's up with this??? sudo chmod 644 /home/user/public_html/*.php -R [21:11] MonkeyDust, should I remove and reinstall transmission, Yesterday I removed VLC because it opened everytime I tried to download, and then things returned to normal, but after reinstalling VLC I am back in the same corner, with the same problem [21:11] maheanuu you could, yes [21:12] I wan't to recursively set permissions on all php files below a given directory to 644 [21:13] I really like vlc as my video audio player, but if I am going to have this problem where it wants to stream and as my DSL service is slow, I download and save all in my downloads directory, but now I am stuck with VLC [21:14] mosx1: find . -type f -name "*.php" | xargs chmod 644 [21:15] alright ratcheer so i guess it is good. I only have one core and it also supports hyperthreading [21:15] !grub [21:15] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [21:16] so my cpu temp is at 32C and my HardDrives 37 and 38C === romain_ is now known as romb [21:18] hello everyone. I am a novice ubuntu user with what I think is a complicated DNS/IP problem... so if anyone can walk me through how to troubleshoot and fix this I'd really appreciate it. I have Ubuntu 12.04 installed on a vmware player running on Windows vista, and I have been adding and changing some things, and something in that process messed up the internet connection. I was setting up a LAMP stack following a few different walkth [21:19] JRT83: so, what was it that got messed up? [21:19] and I think one of the steps in there had me edit a configuration file of some sort to set a static IP for the server, and now I don't know what the files are that I need to fix, but I can't ping anything outside the computer from the virtual machine [21:19] it has no internet [21:19] I saw a few posts about things to look at but I really don't know how to interpret the output [21:19] like the command: route -n [21:19] JRT83 /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf [21:19] Are only SPECIFIC files capable of being SHA1 summed? [21:19] yeah, /etc/resolv.conf is blank [21:20] except for the comment lines telling you not to edit it === Orbitey is now known as wrongtarget [21:20] im looking at a .ova ( virtual machine ) file and im not able to get a sha1sum on it? [21:20] JRT83: you are probably talking about the files in /etc/network [21:20] JRT83: you will find your file there [21:20] hmm, I think I set the IPs to the localhost numbers I found somewhere else on my computer [21:21] JRT83 put your router's IP address in /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 192.168.1.1 or so [21:21] MonkeyDust: i believe resolv.conf is deprecated in 12.04 [21:21] JRT83: would you please paste the output of the command "ifconfig -a" to a pastebin? [21:22] zykotick9 is it replaced by something? [21:22] JRT83, you probly have to add the dns nameservers to /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head , because it writes to /etc/resolv.conf , ignore the warning in head [21:22] can anybody explain to me why sudo chmod 644 /home/user/public_html/*.php -R doesn't seem to work as I expect...i.e. recursively from /home/user/public_html/ ??? [21:22] zykotick9 BluesKaj just answered :) [21:22] http://pastebin.com/igEXGsg9 [21:22] I need help! [21:23] because for recursive you need to use the -R flag [21:23] mosx1: read the manpage, use -R for recursive chmod [21:23] I thought I just did [21:23] -R is right there [21:23] JRT83, you probly need to add the namesevers to /etc/nework/interfaces as well, I'm not real sure about that , tho [21:23] I am trying to install unetbootin. I downloaded the file and I need to execute it. But how do I choose the application to open it with? [21:23] mosx1: oh, those aren't directories, those are files [21:24] rox: you mean the php files ? [21:24] ok, cuz I read several places that the new ubuntu handles DNS differently, and so you can't directly edit the resolv.conf files [21:24] mosx1: just chmod 644 /home/user/public_html/*php should do the trick [21:24] mosx1: yes [21:25] can someone please help me :( [21:25] rox: why no -R ? === Jilly is now known as Guest96367 [21:25] guyneedshelp where did you download it from? [21:25] from a trusted link [21:25] http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/create-bootable-windows-7-usb-drive.html [21:25] guyneedshelp: why don't you install unetbootin from repository? [21:25] from there [21:26] guyneedshelp: sudo apt-get install unetbootin [21:26] rox: how come no -R option in your command ? [21:26] JRT83, yes you have to add them in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head [21:26] I need to install the older version, not the newer one [21:26] Does anyone know whether 12.10 is supposed to have full multi-arch support? [21:26] so sourceforge? === Guest96367 is now known as JillyB [21:26] mosx1: because the wildcard in the command already expands the arguments to files [21:26] because the newer version wont recognize ntfs format [21:26] plagman_: multiarch is a work in progress at this point [21:27] ah, ok and it looks in subdirectories too ? [21:27] mosx1: i'll give you an example, let's say you have files file1.php, file2.php and file3.php in your directory [21:27] zykotick9: I realize that; I was asking whether there was a tentative target for full support, and if that target happened to be the next release [21:27] mosx1: when you say chmod 644 /home/uset/public_html/*php [21:27] BluesKaj do I just add the one nameserver line to the head file? [21:27] guys i have the domain test.example.com and i want to only redirect(rewrite) to page test.example.com/?search when the request_uri is / (root) how can this be done with htaccess? i already asked in #apache [21:27] So I can eject the cdrom using the "eject" command. Is there a simllar command or a way to retract the drive? [21:27] mosx1: the shell expands the wildcard, and the command gets run as if you had listed all the files on the command line [21:28] guyneedshelp it's an .iso [21:28] mosx1: so the command gets run, as if you had typed [21:28] chmod 644 /home/user/public_html/file1.php /home/user/public_html/file2.php /home/user/public_html/file3.php [21:28] i mean did you get the .sio [21:29] *iso [21:29] rox: and does it change permission for file4.php that is in a subdirectory ? [21:29] wish i could type today [21:29] mosx1: no [21:29] Have any of you been able to connect to freenode using the bundled Empathy client and do authentication? [21:29] never mind I got it :) [21:29] well that's what I asked for [21:29] I have the iso [21:29] for subdirectories too [21:29] the app should be a .exe. judt double click and point it to the .iso and all is well. if you don't have an extension on the unetbootin file, add it [21:29] mosx1: the reason it did not do that is because you did not list your directory in your command [21:29] JRT83, like this , http://paste.ubuntu.com/1176709/ [21:30] plagman_: i'd guess it would need to be finished upstream (debian) first. perhaps asking there would shed more light? [21:30] mosx1: you only listed the .php files [21:30] I am having trouble getting unetbootin first [21:30] I need to get the old version installed. i downloaded an exec file but I have no clue how to open it [21:30] you're on windows right? [21:30] mosx1: the wildcard /home/user/public_html/*.php expands to all files in that directory ending with .php [21:30] if something passes a SHA1 comparison .. the file is said to be _________ [21:30] mosx1: not subdirectories [21:30] no im on ubuntu [21:30] pure ... non-messed up ... [21:30] mosx1: so you need to chmod all php files to 644? [21:30] its not " secure " [21:31] mosx1: let's craft up a command for that [21:31] i thought the -R took care of the subdirectories [21:31] how do I open this download? how do i get to the application to open this download [21:31] yes rox, all below the /home/user/public_html/ [21:32] What are those last 2 nameserver IPs? [21:32] guyneedshelp go back to the page that you sent me and look at 2. [21:32] under installation and screenshots [21:33] hey all if I add a executable into /etc/rc.local will it be run after all system core services are brought online [21:33] not sure where to add it [21:33] it only needs to survive 1 reboot [21:33] I am doing an automated setup script and it needs to run after the reboot succeeded on the first part [21:33] oh man I am embarassed! [21:33] thank you so much for your help!!!! [21:34] mosx1: ok, try this [21:34] hi, i'm getting a problem with my ubuntu 12.04, it freeze in logo screen with five dots, and i can't do anything, please help [21:34] mosx1: find /home/user/public_html -name "*php" -exec chmod 644 {} \; [21:35] !nomodeset | nilopes [21:35] nilopes: 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 [21:36] mosx1: that should do what you needed to do [21:36] mosx1: in the future, it would be a good idea to learn, how the shell wildcards work [21:37] mosx1: and use find with -exec when wildcards don't cut it [21:37] mosx1: did it do the job? [21:37] seems to have yes, thankyou. [21:37] hmm i want to update my ehternet interface settings via ssh i dont want to do sudo ifdown eth0 then it won't come back up :S [21:37] mosx1: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/wildcards.html [21:38] Troy^: that is most certainly not a good idea [21:38] hey guys i need a bit of help [21:38] is there a way to get it to restart the interface with my static settings [21:38] or best bet a reboot? [21:38] don't have too much time to trouble shoot right now. but anyone with nfs4 experience here? [21:39] over the weekend I setup my server [21:39] Troy^: if you are going to do that, then you should do the following first: make a script, that will detect, if your network is still up, and if it detects that it is not, it should revert to your current settings [21:39] I'm using ubuntu 12.04 with gnome-classic-fallback, and alt-tab doesn't appear to trigger anything, and unless I click on the taskbar icon, (even if I select the window), it does not appear to bring the window to foreground/switch focus properly. [21:39] and I can't mount the filesystem on the client anymore [21:39] rox: sounds ideal lol.. makezan just set mine up [21:39] it tells me, mount.nfs4: mount(2): Permission denied [21:39] Troy^: no, you can't just set it to revert to revious settings, you need to script it up [21:39] no i know rox [21:40] How to fix a corrupted NTFS partition with a Windows 7 disc?!? [21:40] my bash scripting skills are pretty minimal [21:40] I want to run a simple python script in the background but a icon is appearing in the launcher :-( .... how do I stop that? [21:40] any idea how can i upgrade apache from 2.22 to 2.4 from command ? [21:40] pyrrhic: ask people in #windows [21:40] rox: They aren't replying [21:40] lol, for real i'm running mad and don't know what to do. [21:41] sudo ifdown eth0 && ifup eth0 will that do both commands? [21:41] there are only 3 config files on the server to check and only 1 config on the client? [21:41] i know the static settings will work [21:41] Troy^: no, if the first one fails, it won't run the second one [21:41] Troy^: the && operator in the shell does that [21:41] why wouldn't the interface go down though [21:42] Troy^: for many reasons [21:42] i'm going to try it lol. crosses fingers [21:42] Troy^: wait [21:42] How would I go about fixing a corrupt NTFS partition? I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS x64. [21:42] Troy^: let's do this right [21:43] pyrrhic, corrupt in what way ? [21:44] Troy^: do this: cp /etc/network/interfaces ~/interfaces.bak === Relapr is now known as parmount [21:44] yea i made a back of the oringal already /etc/network/interfaces.back [21:45] lidar: how many different ways can it be corrupt? [21:45] Troy^: so, you are changing your primary interface, right? [21:45] lidar: I cant access it and I used to be able to. [21:46] yea eth0 [21:46] pyrrhic, does manually mounting it work ? [21:46] Troy^: so, let's make a script [21:46] hmm, my server seems hung....anything I can do? [21:46] Troy^: wait a minute, i'll give it to you in a pastebin [21:47] it's stuck at *Starting web server apache2 [21:47] lidar: I don't know the command to do so. [21:47] mosx1, apachectl stop ? [21:47] I don't have a prompt [21:47] pyrrhic, mkdir junk-windows && mount /dev/sda1 junk-windows edit sda1 to proper drive/partition [21:47] if I have an ~/.xinitrc file, should there be an option to load a "custom" session on log in? [21:48] lidar: It isn't sda1, so just replace it with the correct number, yes? [21:48] mosx1, your config is probably screwed up [21:48] pyrrhic, correct [21:49] The directory was made. But it has a lock symbol on it. [21:50] pyrrhic, did you do it as root ? [21:50] yes [21:50] pyrrhic, gksudo nautilus .. should be able to access it then [21:50] ahh [21:50] there it is [21:50] special device /dev/sd3 does not exist [21:51] pyrrhic, office depot charge like 100 dollars to do that ill accept 50 to my paypal :P [21:52] pyrrhic, /dev/sda3 should be what you mounted type mount to view all mounted partititons [21:53] Troy^: http://pastebin.com/s7pi5U4X [21:53] wow your pretty quick. that would have taken me an hour to write [21:53] lidar: /dev/sda3 (my media ntfs partition) doesnt show after entering that command. [21:54] Troy^: MAKE SURE YOU EDIT PATHS [21:54] Troy^: edit the script, so that the paths are correct [21:54] Troy^: i don't know where you stored the backup file [21:54] what's the name of the login manager in 12.04? [21:54] Troy^: so please edit the path to the interfaces.back file, so that it is correct [21:54] emes: It depends on what desktop [21:54] /etc/network/interfaces.back [21:55] roger [21:55] pyrrhic, sudo mount /dev/sda3 junk-windows/ gives an error ? [21:55] ratcheer: default install [21:55] emes: Unity? Then, lightdm. [21:55] Troy^: and the pastebin messed up the other path too, please change it ti /etc/network/interfaces [21:56] cp -f --remove-destination /etc/network/interfaces.back /etc/network/interfaces; [21:56] Troy^: right, that should do it [21:56] ty [21:56] hi All, i'm having troubles with apt-get and cron ... i tried to upgrade a system .. but both aptitude or apt-get are stuck on the "cron" package, have you any clue on how can i try to fix/debug this problem ? [21:56] ratcheer: what service do I need to stop in order to kill x11? [21:56] lidar: need to specify a file type, dont know where to put ntfs. [21:56] Troy^: the whole point is, that ping fails, if your network is down [21:57] pyrrhic, sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda3 junk-windows/ gives an error ? [21:57] emes: lightdm [21:57] Troy^: if ping fails, the value if $? will be something other then 0 [21:57] pyrrhic, add the -t ntfs [21:57] Troy^: so in that case, we need to revert [21:57] lidar: yes. large line of errors [21:57] yup makes sense now, just wouldn't of known how to properly code it. thanks [21:58] Troy^: glad to help, good luck [21:59] lidar: want a pastebin? [21:59] pyrrhic, yes [22:00] http://pastebin.com/wu7fhCB3 [22:01] this is what i have http://paste.debian.net/186740/ [22:01] epifanio, cron wont update because cron is executing apt-get right ? [22:01] lidar: i pasted all the log i had in my shell, i'm connected via ssh to that machine [22:02] lidar: i tried both apt-get and aptitude, both fails on cron [22:02] Does anyone know how to change the wubi location to another NTFS partition (ubuntu 12.04, win7)? [22:03] epifanio, i think the solution is block cron from updating .. then make a script to update it seperatly [22:03] anyone that is good with getting flash to work on firefox that can help me? [22:03] lidar how can i block the cron update ? [22:04] anybody here know how to get Ubucompilator to work with a tar.bz2?

[22:06] pyrrhic, that error is saying fix the drive from windows ... reboot at grub pick windows and hold f8 [22:06] lidar: my windows partition is nonexistant currently. [22:06] I have a windows 7 cd though [22:07] I got rid of windows 7, and this was my media drive while I had it. [22:07] HAMKoot: xbox 360 wired [22:07] pyrrhic is it a desktop ? [22:08] lidar: yep [22:08] does anyone know What is the difference between flags and switches in a terminal command? is it the same ting? [22:09] pyrrhic, if you have another windows desktop you could just swap it over so that windows can fix it .. [22:09] lidar: negative. [22:09] lidar: would recovery console work? [22:09] pyrrhic, yeah thats how you get to chkdsk [22:10] lidar: just get to recov console and chkdsk /f ? === azend_ is now known as azend [22:10] pyrrhic, maybe there is a linux tool .. i never tried [22:10] robertzaccour, found an answer > http://askubuntu.com/a/142613 but the game must support this controller. [22:10] !bash > tuxkalle_ [22:10] tuxkalle_, please see my private message [22:11] rox: my internet face isnt coming up [22:11] pyrrhic, yep exactly [22:11] Troy^: sooo, both your reconfiguration and my script failed [22:11] lidar: it is now stuck on : http://paste.debian.net/186741/ should i put udev in the blacklist too ? [22:11] Troy^: bad luck [22:11] lidar: thanks bub [22:12] pyrrhic, http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/topic/231709-how-to-run-chkdsk-on-ntfs-drive-when-i-cannot-boot-windows/ [22:12] Troy^: if it really doesn't come up, then you will need to access the box physically [22:12] HAMKoot: the controller works fine in windows [22:12] Troy^: no other way to do it [22:13] it saying when i do ifdown or ifup unable to access /etc/network/interfaces:1 ifup couldn't read interfaces file [22:13] ?? [22:13] Troy^: well, check the file [22:13] i'm looking at it [22:13] oh so controllers typically don't work in games with wine? [22:13] it looks fine setup for dhcp [22:13] this is odd [22:13] Troy^: ls -l /etc/network/interfaces [22:13] epifanio, for the sake of testing try it but if package after package fail .. then someting else is the problem [22:14] robertzaccour, depends on the game. [22:14] how does wine make a difference on if controllers work or not? [22:14] epifanio, are you using apt-get upgrade ? or soemthing else ? [22:14] well i was nano editing it rox i was looking at it [22:14] robertzaccour: because Linux has to see the device and process it? [22:14] yes this time i used apt-get [22:14] HAMKoot: OnLive cloud gaming [22:14] Troy^: are you sure, that the file name is exactly right? [22:14] /etc/network/interfaces [22:15] Troy^: also, IIRC in interfaces, tabs matter [22:15] does libtoolize come with ubuntu or in the tar.bz2? [22:15] TheLordOfTime: so controllers simply don't work in wine? [22:15] robertzaccour, so did you try that anser ? [22:15] robertzaccour: not what i said [22:15] Troy^: can you show me the file? [22:15] Troy^: pastebin [22:15] cant [22:15] its not on network lol [22:15] if wont come up [22:15] HAMKoot: yes in that link someone says controllers don't work in wine [22:15] Troy^: then how can you edit it? [22:16] i walk to the box [22:16] Troy^: you have physical access to the file? [22:16] yes [22:16] Troy^: ah, ok, at least you don't have to travel [22:16] Hi! How can I mount ubuntu filesystem from my freebsd ? [22:16] epifanio, if you ssh in get root and run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade does it work ? [22:16] auto eth0 [22:16] iface eth0 inet dhcp [22:17] and before that is loop [22:17] !mount > qualia [22:17] qualia, please see my private message [22:17] Troy^: that's just your standard vanilla dhcp setup [22:17] lidar that's what i did after i added cron in the blacklist, now i'm going to do the same after putting also udev in the blacklist [22:17] yes i put it back to that rox [22:17] i intially was trying static [22:17] Troy^: the only reason for the interface not to come up would be, if the dhcp server isn't functioning, or if the wire is unplugged [22:17] and i had it coming up but wouldnt ping any internal or external ips\ [22:18] Troy^: did you ping IPs or hostnames? [22:19] ips [22:19] Hmmm [22:19] Troy^: what does ifconfig say? [22:20] Troy^: if you just run ifconfig with no arguments? [22:20] it shows eth0 configure for the static ip address i had entered [22:20] and the loopback [22:20] the netmask and gateway are correct as well [22:20] Troy^: there, it's not reading your DHCP configuration [22:20] . [22:20] why though [22:21] Troy^: but if it+'s showing eth0, then the interface didn't go down [22:21] its say ifup/ifdown doesnt have access to /etc/network/interfaces [22:21] anybody who knows ./config, make, make install, pls see for help. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1176779/ [22:21] is this correct [22:21] WeThePeople: you know xchat is in the repositories? [22:21] qualia: Unfortunately I don't think that freebsd fully supports ext4. Try asking in ##freebsd.

[22:24] AmIRC was the first VaporWare application to be shown to the Amiga world. Its author, Oliver Wagner, has worked too many late nights on the program to count, and continues to update it to this day. (i googled) [22:24] Unable to play a VCD on ubuntu 11.04 with moveplayer or VLC. Help please? [22:24] WeThePeople, you can usually just grab the .deb and install it xchat is pretty simple without too many dependencies [22:24] jrib, how there is no upgrade option in --help [22:24] Troy^: when you get it down, then try to get it up manually [22:24] histo, bugs in 2.6.8 [22:24] dr_willis: heh [22:24] Troy^: say [22:24] Troy^: dhclient eth0 [22:25] jrib: makes me wonder how many in here actually rember the Amiga [22:25] WeThePeople: you can upgrade from Lucid to Precise [22:25] !upgrade | WeThePeople [22:25] WeThePeople: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [22:25] Now i feel old. [22:25] WeThePeople: you can upgrade to 12.04.1 right now if you'd like [22:25] dr_willis: I only know about amiga because old people always talk about -_- [22:25] WeThePeople: dont jump on the windows : newer is better train [22:25] dr_willis: Ido [22:25] Troy^: when you get the box back online, you can put the interfaces file into a pastebin [22:26] histo, i like lucid layout better [22:26] Some days i wish the ubuntu devs would go spend a week or 3 on an amiga and 'borrow' some of the neater ideas. [22:26] rox: i cant [22:26] dr_willis: hahaha, ah, the nostalgia [22:26] Troy^: elaborate [22:27] Troy^: what does ifconfig eth0 down say? [22:27] hey folks [22:27] i set it to auto dhcp bring up port with sudo ifconfig eth0 up it comes up but never resolves [22:27] i do a sudo ifup eth0 it sais unable to access /etc/network/interfaces:1 [22:27] I've tried every variant of JRE in the 12.04 repos, but both Chromium and Firefox still complain there is no JRE plugin ? any tips ? [22:28] WeThePeople, life is far to short to waste time with old versions! always update [22:28] Troy^: what does ls -l /etc/network/interfaces say? [22:28] hey all I am scripting the installation of a few packagers and one of them prompts me with an interactive menu, I normally select manual but how can I do this from a script [22:28] lidar, good mantra [22:28] what happens if I cat file1 and file1 is written to while it's in the middle of running the cat command [22:28] i couldn't read interfaces file. Rox hold on for the last command running up and downstairs :S [22:29] Troy^: ok, if you are running up and down, then we should do batches [22:29] Is cat guaranteed to give me the file at the end of *some* file write i.e. that the file will end with a newline or is it possible that cat will give me the last line in the middle of its writing i.e. the last line is only half written [22:29] Troy^: first you get it down with ifconfig eth0 down [22:29] rox: 269 root root /etc/network/interfaces in green [22:29] hi guys, I have problem.

[22:30] Troy^: i was actually interested in permissions [22:30] Sk_, i vote with dr_willis [22:30] mcnellis: cat gives you no guarantees. [22:30] Troy^: that -rwxr--r-- thing [22:30] yes i'm afraid of that. but is there some way to check it? i'm now on live in cd at this pc. but i cant see my partitions as i always could doing so :( [22:30] rox well earlier when it said ifup didnt have permission i chmod 777 /etc/network/interfaces [22:30] Sk_: check dmesg command, try to mount the drive [22:30] Troy^: hmm, weird [22:30] mcnellis: Are you asking out of curiosity, or do you actually have a problem where this matters? [22:31] Ok, so if I'm dealing with a file that's being constantly written to, I should use cp first and then gzip the cp'd file instead of using cat file | gzip [22:31] rox: well the interface is down now rox [22:31] Troy^: how about runnind dhclient manually? [22:31] good [22:31] how? [22:31] mcnellis: you should use fifo/pipes i belive.... [22:31] so you got it down with ifconfig [22:31] Troy^: run this: sudo dhclient eth0 [22:31] yes ifconfig i can up and down but ifup/ifdown is a no go [22:31] dr_willis: could u elaborate? i'm new in linus, should i open terminal from cd i'm on now and run it?

I have a file that's being written to ~100 times a second. I want to backup the file (to AWS S3) every hour. [22:32] mcnellis, sounds like something for logrotate!

During install process, i try to use the free space to automatically create partitions but got that error [22:42] create partitionS or ONE partition ? ;) [22:42] centos is not related to ubuntu very much, you would be better off asking in #linux [22:42] histo_: ah ok i see its copied wrongly, 1s i make new [22:42] Sk_: also from dmesg around 900 line you are getting io errors on sda which is your primary hard disk [22:43] dr_willis: fedora and redhat are closely related to centos [22:43] mz|`: well if i try to create for example just the /boot partition same error appears [22:43] rox: and that has to do with Ubuntu How? ;) [22:43] dr_willis: while ubuntu isn't [22:43] dr_willis: better terms if you want, but logical is opposed to physical if I may. [22:43] epifanio, why dop you have 32bit and 64bit in sources.list ? [22:43] histo_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1176807/ this is that fdisk -l [22:43] Sk_: Yeah that's the one that's cut off. You're missing the output of /dev/sda on that fdisk -l [22:43] dr_willis: not the first time. [22:43] i bring it down rox then bring it up with sudo ifup eth0 and brings back up seems to be dhcp because the same addresss is used [22:43] Sk_: sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda [22:44] asanchez1987_: This channel is only for Ubuntu support unfortunately. Try ##linux or register your nick. [22:44] Troy^: seems to be dhcp? [22:44] well it is not the ip i put in as static [22:44] i didn't touched the apt-get, mabe other user did it .. can be this a problem ? i can try to coment the offending lines in the source.list [22:44] Troy^: hmm, is your dhclient running? [22:44] Troy^: kill dhclient [22:44] asanchez1987_: you'll need to install the entire system in one partition (the one you selected in your picture) with no swap. [22:44] histo_: i get nothing after that command, just jumps back to waiting for next command [22:44] Troy^: killall dhclient [22:45] epifanio, if your amd64 take the 32bit ones out [22:45] Sk_: and thats a problem... [22:45] [22:45] histo_: also could u tell me what that 900 line error means? ;/ [22:45] Sk_: yeah drive is dying [22:45] epifanio, or viceversa [22:45] Troy^: if dhclient is running, then it keeps overriding your static settings [22:45] Sk_: in the dmesg you can see all the buffer io errors on that page. corresponding to disk /dev/sda around line 900 [22:45] mz|`: can't I create /boot, swap, / and /home ? [22:46] no, you have not enough free partitions [22:46] * rox yawns [22:46] epifanio, then apt-get update again .. and then try apt-get upgrade [22:46] Troy^: i'm going to bed, i hope you won't have any more problems [22:46] asanchez1987_: you can partion your drive however you want.. and tell the installers what partions to mount where.... if your hd setup allows all those partiions. [22:46] mz|`: sure he does with extended [22:47] histo_: yes i can see them but i dont know what they mean other then i have problem with drive [22:47] with windows partitions present already on the disk ? [22:47] hey in 12.04 I noticed that all my browser flashed based videos like youtube or xhamster are playing really fast like at 16x speed... anyone know why that is? the audio/video is also out of sync. I've tried toggling hardware acceleration to no avail. [22:47] Sk_: please stop putting a _ after my name so I can see your responses. [22:47] histo: ok :) [22:47] Sk_: means its time to look for your backups. and perhaps learn touse 'ddrescue' or 'dd_rescue' to try to save the data to another drive. [22:47] I learn something really new. [22:47] lidar: i can't see a 32 bit reference in my source.list .. i'm reading them right now [22:47] !tab [22:47] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [22:47] Sk_: the drive is dying or already dead [22:48] epifanio, the i386 [22:48] dr_willis: recomend gddrescue to people so you know much better than the old dd_rescue [22:48] dr_willis: i dont care for data actualy i have it backed up :). [22:48] Sk_: Then i'd look for a new disk and wouldn't trust this one with holding anything [22:48] rox: it's not giving me my static ip im requesting maybe my router but i have other comps set for static and i never had to do anything on router [22:48] well that's the default partiton configuration with the laptop in "initial state".

[22:49] Sk_: you could also try looking at it with smartmontools [22:49] asanchez1987_: system restore partitions i imagine. [22:49] so if /boot requires a primary partition [22:49] is it impossible to install linux [22:49] /boot/ does not need to be a primary partition [22:49] asanchez1987_: no [22:50] and /boot/ dosent really need to be on its own partition these days [22:50] so I should partition the free space as extended partition [22:50] ? [22:50] or I can't [22:50] asanchez1987_: yes and install grub to the mb4 [22:50] asanchez1987_, It's a "System partition" from where your laptop can be restored to it's factory state, I believe. [22:50] asanchez1987_: s/mb4/mbr [22:51] ah ja!!! I used imagemagick to convert all images to pdf :P [22:51] with what you told before, why can't he partition the free space to 100's of Extended partitions ? :) [22:51] it was awesome!!! [22:51] * mz|` waiting for the answer [22:51] histo: ok its on laptop/notebook, i have spare drive for it if needed. but, its asus, i gave it for waranty in march cuz of mainboard. waranty should have ended in march also. was it extended ? if u guys know such things. cuz if was i need to take it to service :/ [22:51] mz|`: extended containers take up space on the primary partition table.

[22:54] the 2 first and the last are primary [22:54] the 4th is logical [22:54] ding. [22:54] and the 3rd is free space [22:54] well thanks guys for help i gona turn it off and see if there seals. Cand they hide seals inside so i cant see and brake them? [22:55] *can [22:55] or at least that is what w7 says [22:55] asanchez1987_: you could extend the logical container to take up the free space and create more parttitions in there. I recomend using gparted of the live cd and getting out of windows thouhg. [22:55] be sure you got a restore-dvd set for your windows box.. and trash the restore/recovery windows partions. :) is what i tend to do. [22:55] Win (OS) limitations are 4 primary + 1 logical [22:56] mz|`: no [22:56] mz|`: actually BIOS limitation is 4 partitions [22:56] zykotick9: also no [22:56] show me how to have 100' partition on one disk [22:56] in windows 7 [22:56] please [22:56] mz|`: easily with extended partitions [22:56] dear lord. show me. [22:56] histo: 3 parimary and one extended - as many logical as you want [22:56] ding. [22:56] zykotick9: no [22:57] instead of no, show us :) [22:57] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning [22:57] mz|`, Maybe use GPT with Win 7 64 Bit ? Your PC should support EFI boot though... [22:57] zykotick9: mz|` the reason for the limitation can be seen if you look at a disk and actually view the amount of space in the parition table. You can only have 4 partitions in there. [22:57] histo: are you going to correct me then? [22:57] Extended partition [22:57] A hard disk may contain only one extended partition; the extended partition can be subdivided into multiple logical partitions.

[23:03] xckpd7: why sudo? [23:03] mz|`: it's not just that file, but it's a good example.. I think I have problems just connecting to certain things in general (and not others) [23:03] cat /etc/resolv.conf ? [23:03] Zethrok: um dunno.. I think there were certain permissions on the folder it was going into [23:03] you will have to test your local DNS resolver [23:03] <[snake]> Can someone answer a security related question for me? in a private message [23:03] Zethrok: but what do I know [23:03] I'm setting up a ubuntu live distro on a USB and am having trouble setting up persistent properly. Anyone able to help? [23:03] mz|`, I read that, I got the expression to rename all files in a folder, but I need it to work on all sub folders. I guess it involves scripting and I'm new here, could you point me to some resources ? [23:04] krazyk_work: if you don't want to install from the liveusb - why not do a proper install onto the USB? [23:04] "find . -xtype d" to search all directories from your current pwd [23:04] then apply the rename cmd [23:05] zykotick9: hw would I go about doing that and still having it be bootable? [23:05] mz|`, How do I join it together ? I didn't follow you. [23:05] krazyk_work: just install to the usb - that's it. [23:05] I would like to disable the guest account how would \I get this done [23:05] mz|`: result of cat/etc/resolv.conf: http://pastie.org/4619231 [23:05] zykotick9: care if i PM? [23:06] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4793892/recursively-rename-files-using-find-and-sed [23:06] hi, I have an edubuntu installation and recently I am unable to update the system to a lot of "Hash Sum mismatch" and "Encountered a section with no package: header". Why? [23:06] krazyk_work: i'd prefer if you didn't actually. [23:06] ok [23:06] krazyk_work: happy to answer questions here ;) [23:06] question openssh only seems to run on a linux box reboot when i log in to a user. how do i get the box to auto login? [23:06] xckpd7: remove localhost from your /etc/resolv/conf file [23:07] autossh ? [23:07] Automatically restart SSH sessions and tunnels [23:07] zykotick9: well I've tried to install from a live usb to another USB and I'm unsure of the partitioning I should be using. All I know is, in the end.. when I insert USB with installed distro it boots normally instead of booting from USB [23:07] ? [23:07] gargon: the repository is corrupted and needs to be repaired [23:08] krazyk_work: you need to setup your BIOS to boot from USB first, and/or use the boot selection option in your BIOS [23:08] mz|`, Thanks for your help. :) [23:08] mzI: What can I do? [23:08] krazyk_work: did you test md5 sum of the iso file too? [23:08] use another mirror [23:08] krababbel: yes [23:09] josh_: yw, search indexes are your friends [23:09] duckduckgo or google or .. [23:09] zykotick9: i can run from a USB. That's how I'm running the distro now, right? [23:09] mzI': which is the one I should put confidence in? [23:09] ubuntu official mirrors [23:09] krazyk_work: then i can't understand why you can't boot the other install then??? [23:09] mz|`: I removed the localhost from the resolv.conf file, and I tried the download again. no go. [23:09] the nearest is the best for the speed generally [23:09] mz|`: you can have up to 26 drives or partitions assigned letters in windows. After that you can start mounting drives to folders with disk manager rather than assigning them a letter. [23:10] mz|`, Yes, thanks for the pointers... ;) [23:10] histo: show me your 26 partitions [23:10] zykotick9: nor can I. I have menu.lst to have 2 options.. 1 with persistent and 1 w/o. The 1 without boots fine, the 1 without does not [23:11] krazyk_work: lol menu.lst - grub1 really? [23:11] zykotick9: the 1 WITH does not** [23:11] zykotick9: yessir :-\ *winces* [23:11] histo: then tell me how to install any linux system in a logical partition, to split into more partitions [23:11] wanna learn [23:11] mz|`: it's just network unreachable errors... but what's weird, is that it will connect to a lot of stuff still. [23:11] krazyk_work: good luck - i don't remember anything about grub-legacy. [23:11] atm im configuring fail2ban. (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fail2ban) why do i need to "cp jail.conf jail.local" wouldnt it fit too, if i just edit the "jail.conf"? where is the difference? [23:11] mz|`: I don't ahve windows and also it's easy to install linux on whatever partition you want. [23:11] xckpd7: the ovh resolver is not working well [23:11] mz|`: like I picked another random file off the internet, wget , it immediately work. [23:11] mz|`: as long as grub is installed on the mbr [23:11] xckpd7: or you have a routing issue [23:12] mz|`: ok so I should talk to ovh and tell them their resolver is off? [23:12] with all networks configurations iincluded to the message report xckpd7 [23:12] or routing issue... yeah that's fine, as long as I can get a general direction to go research in. [23:13] zykotick9: but you agree that after I install directly to a USB, that USB shold be bootable without any other alterations [23:13] route -4 -ne ; route -6 -ne ; cat /etc/resolv.conf ; ip a ; iptables -L -nv ; ip6tables -L -nv ; arp -a [23:13] mz|`: http://ask-leo.com/26_drives_is_there_a_way_around_the_26_drive_limit_in_windows.html [23:13] <[snake]> Is it safe to store passwords of any sort in a plain text file? [23:13] should do the trick xckpd7 [23:13] mz|`: there ya go give that a read if you don't believe me [23:13] krazyk_work: so long as grub is installed onto that USB - yes. [23:13] it is not our subject [23:13] how to install a linux system in a logical partition, and split the partition into the install to more partitions [23:13] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1176839/ is that the proper way to modify the port i connect at by removing the "#" and changing the port number? [23:14] sorry the link is of /etc/ssh/ssh_config [23:14] <[snake]> should I make the said file only readable by root? [23:14] mz|`: huh? [23:14] <[snake]> is it fine the way it is? [23:14] zykotick9: any suggestions for tools to reinstall grub to USB after the distro is installed? I think during install it is wiping and repartitioning [23:14] so re-read the guy screenshot and question [23:14] mz|`: I told him to grow the extended parition and add more logical parittions in side of there and install there [23:14] krazyk_work: for grub-legacy, no idea. [23:15] mz|`: you just told me you wanted to see more than 26 drive/partition in windows and there's your link. [23:15] that's a solution indeed.. but you did not answer to this question even if you was sure. [23:15] zykotick9: i dont need grub legacy.. i can use any [23:15] mz|`: thanks [23:15] mz|`: that's exactly what I told him [23:15] doh [23:15] krazyk_work: for grub2 just chroot into the USB and re-install grub... [23:15] Hi! Once my computer doesnt control any nuclear weapon, is it reasonable to jump to the alpha 12.10 instead of installing 12.04 right now and upgrade after a month? Is there a good reason to don't do that in a production (but not critical) desktop? Something like the environment crashing a lot? [23:16] zykotick9: ugh.. ok ok thank you [23:16] atm im configuring fail2ban. (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fail2ban) why do i need to "cp jail.conf jail.local" wouldnt it fit too, if i just edit the "jail.conf"? where is the difference? [23:16] piero, unstable is the best way to roll with a desktop! [23:16] piero: if you like finding bugs go right ahead but don't come here for support go to #ubuntu+1 [23:16] does fail2ban directly knows that it must use the jail.local instead of jail.conf? I dont get it [23:17] fail2ban = memory exhaustion [23:17] <[snake]> I can't imagine how a file like this could be read, but I'm not sure- that's why I'm asking. [23:17] <[snake]> that is, read remotely. [23:17] well.. all my life I used a rolling release OS, I dont know how to deal if two upgrades a year.. [23:17] subz3r0: what is your question? [23:17] how can I silence apt-get install [23:17] :s/if/with [23:18] histo: atm im configuring fail2ban. (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fail2ban) why do i need to "cp jail.conf jail.local" wouldnt it fit too, if i just edit the "jail.conf"? where is the difference? [23:18] piero: just like when you updated your rolling release distro previously [23:18] I dont need all the install output [23:18] piero, just run 12.04 it is LTS for 5 years [23:18] subz3r0: let me read and see [23:18] <[snake]> daemon man apt-get maybe? [23:18] got it -qq [23:18] ta [23:19] mz|`: I think I found the issue thanks to your help. Again I'm not that technically inclined so bear with me [23:19] I've tried every variant of JRE in the 12.04 repos, but both Chromium and Firefox still complain there is no JRE plugin ? any tips ? [23:19] subz3r0: probably monitors all files in the /etc/fail2ban directory as configs but you can easily tell [23:19] xckpd7: it was ? :) [23:19] histo, wilee-nilee, lidar: my real doubt is: what make more trash: install a totally different "old" release and upgrade it or go ahead and install the new unstable OS and update it every day [23:19] is there any way to change the cursor from a block to a line in ubuntu server? [23:19] mz|`: apparently I'm supposed to add to that resolv.conf file and I'm expected to resolve? [23:19] piero: please go to #ubuntu+1 [23:20] mz|`: theirs is only for their stuff... that was the explanation I got from google [23:20] in Vim [23:20] piero, Do what ever floats your boat. ;) [23:20] xckpd7: you add DNS resolvers to the /etc/resolv.conf file to be able to know an IP address (or else DNS record) from a CNAME [23:20] mz|`, well, so any advice whats "better"? knockd? denyhosts? or what? [23:20] histo, thx [23:21] mz|`: so what I found out... does that sound like that would be the issue / fix? === fernando is now known as Guest66254 [23:21] subz3r0: it's quite possible there is an error on the community pages. I would try maiking changes and seeing if they are effective or not. [23:22] histo, thats why ive asked for that. because on any other site i dont have to copy the file over [23:22] subz3r0: Oh I see what you are saying. Yeah you can just modify the jail.conf file if you want. [23:23] in /etc/ssh/sshd_config file do i need to uncomment "#" the line with port 22 if i want to change it to Port 2277 for example? [23:23] mz|`, well... so where is the advice? just saying any program is crap in coze of memory exhaustion is like .... blah? [23:24] Troy^: yes [23:24] !list [23:24] rano: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [23:24] piero, i dont think there is much diffrence .. apt just nbeeds cleaned out sometimes [23:26] subz3r0: just told you what I discovered for using it in production since years [23:26] the bug is still opened btw [23:26] open* [23:26] histo: also when i try to restart sshd server both ways by service ssh restart and /etc/init.d/ssh restart. it appears to stop and restart it but it is simply not [23:27] mz|`, so whats better to get rid of brute force attacks against a ssh server? [23:27] knockd? denyhost? [23:27] Troy^: it is simply not what? [23:27] restarting [23:28] Troy^: sudo /etc/init.d/sshd restart [23:28] because i'm still connected and cant connect on the port setting i changed [23:28] i did that histo [23:28] Troy^: is this all on your local network or over the internet? [23:28] mz|`, i just do not appreciate any unfunded statements like this. maybe some more explanation would be nice [23:28] local net histo [23:29] subz3r0: you can also see their bug tracker [23:29] the place to be [23:29] fizz@server:/$ sudo /etc/init.d/sshd restart [23:29] sudo: /etc/init.d/sshd: command not found [23:29] Troy^: netstat -tan and see if it's listening on the new port. [23:29] Troy^: they probably call it ssh in ubuntu [23:29] it is still port 22 [23:29] and i have used ssh [23:30] never changed anything [23:30] mz|`, you put that into the chan, so im asking you. [23:30] Troy^: yeah sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart [23:30] subz3r0: if an ssh server why dont you just set the number of failed attempts and forget about it? it would take eons to brute force an ssh server with a resonable limit on attempts and normal passwords [23:30] subz3r0: port knocking is nice as an alternative [23:30] Troy^: you mean your current connection doesn't close? [23:30] when Ubuntu will use Wayland? [23:30] histo: correct as i'm doing this over ssh the command ran. i also did a netstat -tan and still not listening on the new port [23:31] c0deMaster, what is wayland ? [23:31] pepperjack, that isnt the point. i do not allow logins with a pass as well. im just curious, like i said, i dont like unfunded statements.

[23:33] mz|`: I'm not effected by that bug [23:33] thanks histo [23:33] ^ [23:34] mz|`, i'll check that. i dont want to start any fight in here. Just wanted you to point me in the right direction. I will check that when running it. thx so far [23:34] subz3r0 and histo that didn't do anything either [23:34] hey i am doing aptitude search libftdi1 but it doesnt find it althought i see it over here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/amd64/libftdi1/download [23:35] Troy^: did you save the changes to the configuration file?
