| TJ- | bharwell: The problem is caused because the underlying device name changes, and the installer can't find the original device. When using CD-ROMs one fix is to eject and reinsert the disc and remount it, and then Rescan CDROM. I'm not sure if you can do something similar... the issue you have is, the installer is looking for a /dev/scd device but its' running from a /dev/sdX device | 00:20 |

| TJ- | kalledelta: To save you some pain, at least to get it working initially, it might be a good idea to install and use shorewall to configure it for forwarding... then if you want to drop shorewall once it works, you can simply take it's rules using iptables-save | 00:53 |

| kalledelta | TJ: default route is a bit wierd.. I don't really want to fiddle too much with it, since I'm at home and the servers and switches are at the office... | 01:10 |
| matti_ | XiRoN, i think xkill will do the trick if java hace an window ... | 01:11 |
| matti_ | XiRoN, otherwise use kill and the ID of the process ... | 01:11 |
| kalledelta | TJ: But yes, the default route with the lowest metric is via my link-connection.. on the correct interface.. | 01:11 |
| TJ- | kalledelta: and '80.156.155.163' is the IP on vlan3 ? | 01:12 |
| XiRoN | What I'm trying to avoid is having to put the PID, also I am using ubuntu server. | 01:12 |
| kalledelta | TJ: no, the ip on vlan3 is a different one… I have a /30-network that I connect my equipment with my ISP… and they forward my ip-net to my part... | 01:12 |

| cje_ | Hi, | 01:14 |
| TJ- | kalledelta: I think that might be the issue... that IP is what is attached to the outgoing packets from vlan3 as the source IP. So that can get sent out, but the upstream router responsible for returning packets will do an ARP who-has and not get a response from vlan3 saying I-have-it | 01:15 |

| Smackbook | cje_: you have my sympathies, but i cannot help | 01:16 |
| kalledelta | TJ: Ok… do you have any possible solution for this? | 01:16 |
| TJ- | kalledelta: I'm trying to get my head around your network topology. any chance you can write me a diagram and send it privately so I can manage that? it's hard dealing with examples :s | 01:17 |
| cje_ | Smackbook, thx for the sympathy. heh | 01:17 |

| chobo | have you checked your home directory, smacbook? | 01:18 |
| kalledelta | TJ: It's not really that complicated… it's basically the "internet" on one side, my ip net 80.156.155.163 on the other, connected with a third network between them 15.15.15.15/30 | 01:19 |
| kalledelta | TJ: My ISP forwards all traffic that is supposed to go to my ips (80…) to 15.15.15.16 | 01:19 |
| kalledelta | TJ: And I forward all my connections going to Internet via 15.15.15.15 | 01:19 |

| kalledelta | m6d4: I have a bond1 that is made up of eth4+5 and then I have a dev called vlan3 that uses bond1 as the raw device | 01:20 |
| TJ- | kalledelta: and your router for 15.15.15.16 knows to forward 80.156.155.163 through the bond at its end, to vlan3 on the server? | 01:20 |

| bjrohan | ratcheer it isn't :-( | 01:22 |
| bjrohan | I used this command: less /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 01:22 |
| TJ- | kalledelta: so 15.15.15.15 is presenting the 80.a.b.c IP to the ISP on its external interface then? | 01:23 |
| ratcheer | Ok, try this: grep LoadModule /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 01:23 |

| kalledelta | TJ: I think you can call it that way... | 01:24 |
| TJ- | kalledelta: if what I just said is correct, then the SNAT on vlan3 should be attaching as the source the IP that 15.15.15.15 sees coming from vlan3 (which I think you said is 15.15.15.16) | 01:24 |

| bjrohan | ratcheer: going throught the longer way I did see where it would try to load things, then they didn't work, then it loaded something else related to the graphics | 01:25 |
| TJ- | kalledelta: unless you have the router doing layer 2 forwarding so that 80.a.b.c can be assigned to vlan3 on the server, then the router will need to NAT the public IP address | 01:25 |
| TJ- | kalledelta: which ever system and interface answers to 80.a.b.c will have to do the NAT | 01:26 |
| ratcheer | bjrohan: Yes, that's what it looks like. Which driver do you want to use? | 01:26 |
| bjrohan | The one that will get my Inspiron 6400 to work at a higher res | 01:26 |
| TJ- | kalledelta: you might be able to use a PPPoE tunnel from vlan3 to the router to achieve that, and have a ppp0 over vlan3 that presents 80.a.b.c - *than* you can NAT it | 01:26 |
| m6d4 | cje_: have you tried using different channels ? | 01:27 |
| bjrohan | I can send you over a lof of what I had done before to get a higher res | 01:27 |
| cje_ | m6d4, no, how do I do that? | 01:27 |
| kalledelta | TJ: 15.15.15.15 and 15.15.15.16 is doing layer2 yes.. So we are not just supposed to put a switch in and put 10 boxes there with out public ips on them... | 01:27 |
| ratcheer | bjrohan: It shouldn't be difficult with either driver, but it looks like you have drivers stepping all over each other. | 01:28 |
| bjrohan | ratcheer: Here is what I did in June when I had low-res problems that resolved it. I don't know what I did but it worked. Search for bjrohan http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2012/06/23/%23ubuntu.html | 01:28 |
| m6d4 | cje_: can you connect to router via ethernet cable and check the settings ? | 01:28 |
| kalledelta | TJ: But the strange thing that I think is that the postrouting works when I do stuff locally on the machine, but it's not getting transferred between vlan2 and vlan3 | 01:28 |
| cje_ | m6d4, I can connect to the router via ethernet, yes. What settings should I check? | 01:29 |
| TJ- | kalledelta: if the source IP attached to the packets by the rules doesn't match the IP that vlan3 answers to, then that's what I'd expect | 01:29 |
| kalledelta | TJ: ok… do I need to do some nasty fw marking and routing rules then? | 01:29 |
| BentFranklin | Anyone know of a program for pastebinning from a terminal? | 01:30 |
| TJ- | kalledelta: If you're forwarding 80.a.b.c over layer 2 to vlan3... then maybe all you need is a virtual interface vlan3:1 with the 80.a.b.c IP | 01:30 |

| ratcheer | bjrohan: Ok, the problem is that the current Catalyst (fglrx) driver no longer supports your video card. | 01:31 |
| TJ- | kalledelta: it all comes down to which interface *answers* to the 80.a.b.c IPv4 address. Because arp on the ethernet segments will be doing who-has 80.a.b.c | 01:31 |
| cje_ | m6d4, I have to go now. I am grateful for your help | 01:31 |
| ratcheer | bjrohan: When you installed the upgrades, you probably installed the latest driver. You need to switch to using the FOSS radeon driver. | 01:32 |
| kalledelta | TJ: yes, but my server knows that I should be talking to 15.15.15.15 that does all my forwarding... | 01:32 |
| bjrohan | OK | 01:33 |
| bharwell | TJ-: has that iso finished downloading? | 01:33 |
| bjrohan | ratcheer, let me know what to do and I will give it a go :-) | 01:33 |
| TJ- | kalledelta: yeah... that's my point... if 15.15.15.15 actually has 80.a.b.c assigned to one if its interfaces, then it'll never route packets for that destination outside of itself | 01:33 |
| TJ- | bharwell: I'm putting it on a USB now | 01:33 |
| bharwell | TJ-: thanks | 01:33 |
| ratcheer | bjrohan: I don't know exactly what you need to do because I've never done that before. You need to find instructions to remove Catalyst and confugure your system to use radeon. | 01:34 |

| bjrohan | ratcheer thank you | 01:40 |
| TJ- | kalledelta: yes but only for creating the conntrack table | 01:40 |
| TJ- | kalledelta: but when packets come back with a destination IP of 80.a.b.c it'll route those to the device that advertises over ARP "I have 80.a.b.c" | 01:41 |
| ratcheer | bjrohan: You're welcome. | 01:41 |
| kalledelta | TJ: No, they will be sent to the device answering ARP for 15.15.15.16 | 01:41 |

| TJ- | kalledelta: So it comes back to the fact, you need an interface on the server that answers to 80.a.b.c ... vlan3:1 would be the way to do that I think, then that machines internal routing table will know what to do | 01:43 |

| TJ- | kalledelta: I mean, packets for that 80.a.b.c IP are routed by the ISP to your 15.15.15.15 which forwards them over layer 2 to 15.15.15.16. Because there is no layer 3 routing, if the ISP isn't live, there's nothing that can talk back right now | 02:02 |

| ring2 | moracabanas, you could put in /etc/rc.local | 02:11 |
| _raven | 12.04 network card does not turn on automatically any more. i have to replug the wire to enable it - any ideas how to enable it by software?? | 02:11 |
| h00k | inf3kt3d: it's probably where your bootloader is installed | 02:12 |
| h00k | inf3kt3d: that is your issue | 02:12 |
| h00k | ubottu: grub2 | inf3kt3d you can find information on that here | 02:13 |
| ubottu | inf3kt3d you can find information on that here: 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) | 02:13 |
| inf3kt3d | internal drive was disconnected for linux install, could i have missed something during install that i did not include GRUB? | 02:13 |
| moracabanas | Hello <ring2> . Are you sure this method could start wminput before loggin? could you give me some more details about it? Thanks! | 02:14 |

| TJ- | bharwell: I almost killed my lappy creating that USB from the ISO... used 'dd' and was accidentally writing 1GB blocks instead of 1MB blocks... PC slowed like I was wading thru treacle and to make matters worse I had plugged the USB stick into a USB 1.1 port, not the USB2 ports! :p | 02:15 |
| WeThePeople | ruben, just ask | 02:15 |
| h00k | inf3kt3d: I don't think so, if you went through the normal installer...hmm. See if someone else has any ideas, I have to run. | 02:15 |

| Squarism | Man, i miss a good editor on linux... vim/emacs are too excentric... geany - to buggy, gedit - to basic | 02:15 |
| inf3kt3d | thanks tho Hook! | 02:15 |
| Guest16553 | i just installed ubuntu and iw as on windows xp | 02:15 |
| WeThePeople | guest16553, ask your question | 02:16 |
| Guest16553 | now when i finished the install and i rebooted only the top left of my screen actually shows anything | 02:16 |
| bharwell | TJ-: Oh jeez xD | 02:16 |
| h00k | Squarism: check in the software center for editors, how are you defining 'good'? Also, maybe bestbot has some ideas | 02:16 |
| bokbokbok | Squarism: kate | 02:16 |
| h00k | !best | Squarism | 02:16 |
| ubottu | Squarism: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 02:16 |

| WeThePeople | guest16553, is it a dual boot machine | 02:17 |
| Guest16553 | no its not, ubuntu is the only os on here | 02:17 |
| Squarism | h00k, true | 02:17 |
| ring2 | moracabanas, but as i read, for wminput it's more suitable to put it in ~/.xsessionrc | 02:17 |
| Squarism | h00k, well my definition of good is windows style ui + shortcuts.. . the common look and feel of new apps today so to speak.. feature rich and no "exotic" soluitions | 02:17 |
| ring2 | moracabanas, this way it's started automatically with your graphical environment before you log in | 02:18 |

| Supermanintights | hi, I've recently set up my thunderbird with my calendar settings, and I'm looking for a way to run it through a screensaver - either directly or a screensaver that just displays the content behind it in some way. I want to leave my calendar running in the background on one of my machines, but I want to try and avoid image burn etc. | 02:29 |
| TJ- | BigSexySlimer: Check /var/log/kern.log ... the kernel now reports which processes or tasks prevent the suspend operation | 02:29 |
| rubenjr7777 | WeThePeople, ill try | 02:29 |
| h00k | BigSexySlimer: well, the issues previously were with the kernel handing different subsystems in inappropriate order, but they've done lots of collaboration in the past two years | 02:29 |
| h00k | inf3kt3d: are you logged in? | 02:30 |
| BigSexySlimer | inf3kt3d /set irc_delay_time 10 has to be added to your irc program if i'm not mistaken | 02:30 |
| TJ- | BigSexySlimer: some device drivers are still problematic; as are things like NFS shares in some circumstances. I moved to Linux v3.6rc4 recently and suspend improved in speed and reliability dramatically | 02:30 |
| BigSexySlimer | TJ- if i plan on using the binary nvidia driver over nouveau, will that cause issues? | 02:30 |
| h00k | BigSexySlimer: Even with the binary driver, suspend works beautifuly here | 02:31 |
| TJ- | BigSexySlimer: I'm using Nvidia 304 and its been great. Some great new multi-monitor and xrandr support and it auto configures across multiple monitors now just like nouveau | 02:31 |
| inf3kt3d | hook: yes im logged in BigSexySlimer: i get no such variable :shrug: | 02:31 |
| BigSexySlimer | inf3kt3d it's a variation of that. if you /j #fedora, it actually gives you the exact command in the topic | 02:32 |
| TJ- | BigSexySlimer: sometimes after a suspend or having closed the laptop lid, I have to run nvidia-settings to reconfigure the 2nd screen, but its still much better than the nvidia 295 experience | 02:32 |

| rubenjr7777 | bkc_, ubuntu is the only os on the hd now | 02:54 |

| rubenjr7777 | do u think if i tried another distro this problem will persist also? | 02:55 |
| bkc_ | rubenjr7777: me guess from that paste is that the driver thinks your LCD is connected to VGA1, and then defaults to 640x480 on the LVDS :/ | 02:55 |
| bkc_ | try xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1360x768 | 02:56 |
| TJ- | rubenjr7777: Here's a potential solution http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11094421&postcount=6 | 02:56 |
| bkc_ | rubenjr7777: or 1024x768... depending on what resolution it should be | 02:56 |
| rubenjr7777 | bkc_, xrandr: cannot find mode 1360x76 | 02:56 |
| TJ- | rubenjr7777: "Basically to fix the problem what needs to happen is after the machine fires up, it needs to switch to | 02:57 |
| TJ- | character mode before switching into graphical mode, and there needs to be a few seconds in character mode so that your absolutely assured that the mode-set BIOS code has finished executing." | 02:57 |
| TJ- | rubenjr7777: So the solution seems to be, to edit /etc/default/grub and remove the "quiet splash" options plus have the GRUB menu around for a few seconds to make the BIOS switch into text mode first | 02:58 |
| bkc_ | rubenjr7777: you missed the last digit ;) | 02:58 |
| rubenjr7777 | TJ-, that is pretty complicated haha | 02:58 |
| TJ- | rubenjr7777: It also goes on to say (in that thread) "With your bios updated (A32), I also recommend setting your bios start memory (sorry I'm not sure exactly what it is labeled) to 8mb (the default is 1mb). You can access that by entering into your bios at start up. It seems to help, or at least appears to provide a smoother start up into Ubuntu." | 02:59 |
| rubenjr7777 | so 1mb instead of 8mb? wont this affect performance!!! | 02:59 |
| rubenjr7777 | well im going to try that really quick il brb | 03:00 |
| TJ- | rubenjr7777: you can interrupt the bootloader as the PC starts by holding down the SHIFT key. When the boot menu shows, press "e" to edit the top entry... then move the cursor to the line beginning "linux..." and move along to delete "quiet splash" ... then press Ctrl+X to boot that modified configuration. That *might* get you in with a full size screen. If it does, you can then immediately edit "/etc/default/grub" with a text-editor to remove "quiet splash" perma | 03:01 |
| TJ- | nently and then do "sudo update-grub" to write the new configuration to disk | 03:01 |
| Rowey | can someone please help me with partition issues on ubuntu? | 03:01 |
| TJ- | rubenjr7777: That articles says video RAM set to 8MB ( from a default of 1MB) | 03:02 |
| WeThePeople | rowey, just ask | 03:03 |
| TJ- | rubenjr7777: Set it higher than 8MB if that PC has 512MB of RAM, if it allows that to be done | 03:03 |

| rubenjr7777 | TJ-, it wont let me set it hgiher than 8mb even though i have a gig of ram and ill try the splash thing | 03:07 |
| TJ- | rubenjr7777: It's OK if 8MB is max... just the more the better :) | 03:08 |
| TJ- | rubenjr7777: the key thing to understand is that, on that model, the video needs to be initialised in text mode and given some 'settle' time before it switches into graphical mode. So by holding it at the boot menu in text mode you can help it sort itself out | 03:09 |
| WeThePeople | rubenjr7777, try this>>> sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel libdrm-intel1 xorg | 03:09 |
| TJ- | rubenjr7777: If you find that helps, you can edit the "/etc/default/grub" even further to set "console=text" to force GRUB to always use text mode | 03:10 |

| rubenjr7777 | TJ-, looks like everything is in another language and there is no background | 03:15 |
| TJ- | rubenjr7777: OK, so you've got a full screen display but it's not usuable, is that correct? | 03:15 |
| WeThePeople | nate__, software center type "sql" | 03:15 |
| rubenjr7777 | TJ-, correct | 03:15 |
| rubenjr7777 | TJ-, when it started up after i typed my password there was no background and then everything turned gray i pressed contrl alt delete and thats when i saw the jiberish | 03:15 |
| TJ- | rubenjr7777: I think that will be caused by the BIOS UMA memory setting - if it is on 1MB then reboot it and set it to 8MB. You'll have to go through that boot-menu editing process again to test it, but if that works and you can read the screen the next time, we can help you edit the settings to be permanent | 03:16 |

| nate__ | NO this is an older ubuntu version and anyway I would rather go and download it thru there site that should be possible . Why do people have to make life so fuck hard | 03:17 |
| TJ- | rubenjr7777: when you delete "quiet splash" replace it this time with "single" ... that'll stop the PC trying to start the Graphical user interface, and we can get the GRUB config file edited first | 03:17 |

| TJ- | rubenjr7777: OK, we are going to start a text-editor as super-user so you'll have to enter your password. Do "gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub" and press Enter. | 03:25 |
| tsimpson | nate__: actually click the download link, rather than attempting to save it directly, blame oracle | 03:25 |
| TJ- | rubenjr7777: that will load the file "/etc/default/grub" into the text-editor. Tell me when it's loaded and you see some file contents | 03:25 |
| nate__ | what are you talking about | 03:26 |
| Guddu | OerHeks : Pressing the Shift key while boooting does not present me a GRUB Menu :( | 03:26 |
| rubenjr7777 | TJ-, i see them | 03:26 |
| TJ- | rubenjr7777: good. Look for the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" and delete quiet splash to leave "" | 03:26 |
| nate__ | ya, I always save file locally before installing them it is a general good practices | 03:26 |
| OerHeks | Guddu, it should .. | 03:26 |
| tsimpson | nate__: no, you need to click the link, sign in to oracle, then download the .zip | 03:27 |
| rubenjr7777 | TJ-, okay go tit | 03:27 |
| rubenjr7777 | it* | 03:27 |
| Guddu | OerHeks: Unfortunately i tried that multiple times. In one attempt i kept the SHIFT pressed....In another i pressed and released rapidly. | 03:27 |
| TJ- | rubenjr7777: OK, now do File > Save ... then you can quit the text editor and go back to the command line | 03:27 |
| rubenjr7777 | TJ-, okay | 03:28 |
| TJ- | Guddu: It sounds like you've installed GRUB across more than one drive, and it's not finding its better half | 03:28 |
| OerHeks | Guddu, did you do a install with wubi inside windows ? | 03:28 |
| TJ- | rubenjr7777: OK... at the command line issue the command "sudo update-grub" and you'll need to enter your password | 03:29 |
| OerHeks | guide doesn't apply to wubi, AFAIk | 03:29 |
| Guddu | TJ-: OerHeks I installed outside windows....basically booted with Ubuntu CD and created a new partition table. 20GB Swap and 140 GB Primary mounted on / and ext4 | 03:29 |

| TJ- | rubenjr7777: Once "update-grub" has finished you should try rebooting it. This time, you don't need to interrupt the boot at all... it *should* be good on its own. Let me know if it is or not. | 03:30 |
| rubenjr7777 | TJ-, okay, thank you so much btw =] | 03:31 |
| TJ- | rubenjr7777: you're welcome | 03:31 |

| TJ- | [snake]: Are you trying to mess with my mind at this time of the morning!? :D | 03:31 |
| rubenjr7777 | hey i was told that i could install microstf word on ubuntu with wine, the reason i want to is cause i have a college class called intro to software applications and the professor only uses those programs, can wine install them? | 03:32 |
| jagginess | [snake], grub2 can do that, and has been able to do that for some years now.. | 03:32 |
| [snake] | TJ-, no. | 03:32 |
| Guddu | TJ OerHeks isn't that a standard way of doing it? GRUB should be able to load. | 03:32 |
| TJ- | rubenjr7777: Don't even think about it!!! Use LibreOffice! | 03:32 |
| jagginess | [snake], you use grub2's loopback module | 03:32 |
| [snake] | jagginess, oh sweet! | 03:32 |
| [snake] | I have gentoo on my desktop :p | 03:32 |
| rubenjr7777 | TJ-, is libreoffice compatible with excell and publisher and what not | 03:32 |
| Guddu | Or shall i reinstall? | 03:32 |
| TJ- | [snake]: It may be technically possible using loop mounts but I think it'd tax even a GRUB expert to figure out, so I'd say No :) | 03:33 |
| TJ- | rubenjr7777: I generally find it is, yes | 03:33 |
| rubenjr7777 | TJ-, okay thank you =] | 03:33 |
| rubenjr7777 | TJ-, ima reboot nowq | 03:33 |
| jagginess | [snake], you mean <filesystem>/somefile , and somefile contains a filesystem in itself-- this somefile can be mounted and become "/" on "boot" | 03:33 |
| TJ- | rubenjr7777: Do that reboot now ... it's 4.30am here and I need sleep! | 03:33 |
| [snake] | jagginess, yes I want to boot into /home/snake/Desktop/mnt/gentoo/ | 03:34 |

| Guddu | Not even a CD | 03:37 |
| TJ- | rubenjr7777: Aha!... then that suggests the pause for the boot menu at boot-time is important. Can you try booting again, and this time press SHIFT and hold it on the menu for 10 seconds, then start it | 03:37 |

| jagginess | Guddu, you using wubi correct? | 03:37 |
| TJ- | Guddu: It sounds as if the GRUB boot-strap in sector 0 is being read, but it can't find the 2nd stage and therefore can't get to the point where it can read /boot/grub/ and build the menu | 03:38 |
| Guddu | jagginess: What is meant by WUBI? I installled Ubuntu 12.40 Desktop 32 Bit Version | 03:38 |
| jagginess | Guddu, do fdisk -l , does it say "loopback" anywhere? | 03:38 |
| jagginess | Guddu, (or sudo fdisk -l) | 03:38 |

| TJ- | rubenjr7777: We know we fixed it once... so... let's figure out what's different. From what I read, it suggested that part of the issue is timing... if the system goes into graphical mode too quickly the video gets messed up so it needs to be in text mode first and given time to 'relax' | 03:45 |
| TJ- | rubenjr7777: we could try next having the system start in 'text' mode so it doesn't start the graphical interface. That would allow us to test the theory. | 03:46 |
| TJ- | rubenjr7777: how about, you reboot it, interrupt it, edit the "linux..." line again, but this time add to it the word "text" and then Ctrl+X | 03:47 |
| TJ- | rubenjr7777: when the system starts... | 03:47 |
| TJ- | rubenjr7777: ... it should stop at a command prompt with no GUI - no mouse, no windows... but you should have a screen with a login prompt | 03:47 |
| ielezovikj | How do I disable Unity and use the classical gnome? | 03:47 |
| TJ- | rubenjr7777: so you do the login, then at the command prompt you'll type "sudo service lightdm start" - you might want to write that command down! | 03:48 |

| ubottu | 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 | 03:48 |

| Guddu | jagginess: I got disconnected....I am downloading Boot Repair CD now. Will take 20 Minutes and 10 Minutes to Burn the CD. Will you be here? | 03:50 |
| jagginess | ielezovikj, unity can go crazy on you, so if you decide to come back to use "unity" after using tweaking tools on any type of gnome desktop (gnome classic, gnome etc), unity in your account may not work properly again (just in your user account alone, not for other users, -- also you may be able to wipe out all .gnome settings and then unity can be fixed like this, but it isnt ideal) | 03:50 |
| IdleOne | ielezovikj: run sudo apt-get -f install , that should fix the broken packages | 03:50 |
| TJ- | rubenjr7777: OK well don't worry about all that immediately. I've seen something else that should help. Reboot it, then edit the "linux..." line and simply add the word "nomodeset" then Ctrl+X to boot it ... you should be good then. If that works, we'll edit /etc/default/grub again and add that setting permanently | 03:51 |
| rubenjr7777 | TJ-, ok ill try it =] | 03:51 |
| jagginess | TJ-, /etc/default/grub is for the update-grub/2 script to update grub.cfg | 03:51 |

| jagginess | Guddu, the install cd/dvd of ubuntu has tools in command-line mode to fix your ubuntu, but it's not very attractive, if the boot-repair iso you'll be trying sux, then the more difficult way of fixing it should be doable (and many people have been using the more difficult way) | 03:54 |
| jagginess | Guddu, i have no idea how really good that boot-repair iso is, so it would be nice to know if it is helpful :) | 03:54 |
| jagginess | Guddu, but its mentioned on the community ubuntu wiki, so i'm wildly guessing it must be pretty stable | 03:55 |

| wtfcon | trying to upgrade from ubuntu 12.04 to 12.04.1 but its just not showing up | 03:57 |
| wtfcon | any suggestions? | 03:57 |
| reher | openSUSE 12.2's gnome look pretty nice | 03:57 |
| TJ- | wtfcon: the .1 updates only apply to the released CD images. If you're on 12.04 you get those updated packages as part of the regular updates | 03:57 |
| === reher is now known as ross__ | ||
| rubenjr | TJ-, okay | 03:58 |
| TJ- | wtfcon: 12.04.1 is simply the April release plus all the fixed packages on a freshly spun CD image | 03:58 |
| === jsm_ is now known as jsm | ||
| TJ- | rubenjr: OK... find that line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="" and insert in the quotemarks nomodeset so you have ...="nomodeset" | 03:58 |

| wtfcon | think I got it updated with the regular updated | 03:59 |
| wtfcon | updates* | 03:59 |
| wtfcon | ;) | 03:59 |
| rubenjr | TJ-, got it | 03:59 |
| rubenjr | TJ-, want me to save now? | 03:59 |
| TJ- | rubenjr: great. Now File > Save and quit the editor, back to the command line | 03:59 |
| wtfcon | TJ-; thank you! | 03:59 |
| rubenjr | TJ-, okay back | 03:59 |
| TJ- | rubenjr: then you can do "sudo update-grub" and let it fix that change for all future boots | 03:59 |
| TJ- | rubenjr: I guess you'd best reboot and prove that has fixed it before I go off to bed! :p | 04:00 |
| rubenjr | how do i get the ruben@ruben-inspiron back | 04:00 |
| TJ- | rubenjr: back? from where? you mean the terminal prompt? | 04:00 |
| rubenjr | TJ-, yeah haha! and no i mean like theres usually ruben@ruben inspiron then like dash and the moneys ign and what not but right now there isnt | 04:01 |
| wtfcon | TJ-: I am using HP dv6 laptop which comes with Beats Audio, I have tried every possible way I could google or even myself but can't get the subwoofer to work. Do you know of any workaround? | 04:01 |
| TJ- | rubenjr: have you done "sudo update-grub" yet? | 04:01 |
| rubenjr | no im stuck | 04:01 |
| TJ- | wtfcon: audio isn't my strong-point I'm afraid | 04:02 |
| rubenjr | i pasted it but nothing happendedi | 04:02 |
| rubenjr | TJ-, how do i like reset the terminal | 04:02 |
| TJ- | rubenjr: If you're in that terminal window... and you don't see the prompt... try just pressing enter a few times to give it a reminder | 04:02 |
| wtfcon | TJ-; thank you for your help! Goodnight! :) | 04:02 |
| rubenjr | TJ-, usually before i give a prompt it says :ruben@ruben-Inspiron-1100:~$ | 04:03 |
| TJ- | rubenjr: did you quit out of the text-editor? if you didn't that might keep the prompt from re-appearing | 04:03 |
| TJ- | rubenjr: If all else fails, close the terminal window and start a new one :D | 04:03 |
| rubenjr | its doing something now | 04:03 |

| arooni-mobile | ideas ? | 04:08 |
| TJ- | rubenjr7777: hahaha now you ask the HARD questions! ... if you're using Ubuntu Precise you are using the Unity desktop environment interface. I think on that PC you'll be using Unity 2D. It's a long story but "no" ... I'd suggest you try installing a different desktop environment. One that doesn't require so many CPU and RAM resources... I'd suggest you might enjoy lubuntu. | 04:09 |
| rubenjr7777 | TJ-, okay, thank you very much for everything =] | 04:09 |
| TJ- | rubenjr7777: At the log-in screen against your name there's a gear-type icon. Pressing that allows you to choose from the installed desktop environments. If you open a terminal and do "sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop" you can have lubuntu as one of the desktop options. | 04:09 |

| TJ- | rubenjr7777: I run lubuntu on several of my older notebooks and its great - proper menus too! | 04:10 |
| TJ- | rubenjr7777: do those updates, they'll be bug fixes | 04:11 |

| rubenjr7777 | TJ-, i also have a wireless adapter that i order online should that work as soon as i plug it in? | 04:11 |
| TJ- | rubenjr7777: That depends on the maker of the chips that control it. Some chipsets for Wifi are a pain to get sorted, but others, like Intel, will just plug in and go | 04:12 |
| rubenjr7777 | TJ-, cause currently im using like a 100 foot long ethernet cable | 04:12 |
| TJ- | rubenjr7777: Broadcom, Realtek and Atheros are the ones I hear of most often with problems installing/configuring their drivers | 04:12 |

| WeThePeople | cool | 04:15 |

| === Adeel4 is now known as Adeeel | ||

| WeThePeople | sudo apt-get autoremove package name' | 04:17 |

| Cell | but I didnt use sudo apt-get to install it | 04:17 |
| crizis | select cinnamon session from login screen? | 04:17 |
| Cell | yes | 04:17 |
| Cell | I installed Cinnamon | 04:17 |
| Cell | it was working fine for a long time, it's just this ATI thing that messed it up | 04:18 |
| crizis | remove cinnamon and install it again | 04:18 |
| Cell | no, cinnamon is not the problem, it's this ATI installer, I think it's forcing me to logon with xwindows or something | 04:18 |
| GeekAdmin | Anyway to get more options for screen resolutions in Ubuntu? When I use "Additonal Drivers" it doesnt find any additional graphics drivers. Using INTEL HD on a lenovo laptop. ubuntu 12.04 with gnome classic. | 04:18 |
| Cell | how does Ubuntu normally start up? | 04:18 |
| crizis | ah | 04:18 |
| crizis | so | 04:19 |
| crizis | Cell, sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm | 04:19 |
| Cell | hm yeah that might work | 04:19 |
| Cell | what is lightdm btw | 04:19 |
| crizis | the login manager | 04:19 |
| Cell | is that based on xwindows | 04:19 |
| crizis | that question doesn't even make any sense | 04:19 |
| Cell | I dont understand the role of xwindows in all this, is it a layer beneath all the GUI systems? | 04:19 |
| crizis | X = graphics server | 04:20 |
| crizis | whatever you see on the screen which is NOT the barebone console = X | 04:20 |
| Cell | so gnome and unity sit on top of X? | 04:20 |
| crizis | yes | 04:20 |
| Cell | and X interfaces to the hardware directly? | 04:20 |
| crizis | yes (if you don't go little details like kernel drivers :) | 04:21 |
| WeThePeople | geekadmin, have you checked the monitor gui | 04:21 |
| reher | Cell: X is a windowing system, gnome and kde are desktop environments | 04:21 |
| * myr0 is gone. gone | 04:21 | |
| GeekAdmin | WeThePeople: dont think I have. Will now thanks | 04:22 |

| ebs512 | ----------------------- | 04:22 |
| reher | desktop environments bring along more that just the pretty graphics you see. They bring tools etc. | 04:22 |
| Cell | What exactly does X do, it seems like an unnceessary layer if you aren't running a remote session | 04:22 |
| GeekAdmin | WeThePeople: oh are you just taling about "Displays"? | 04:23 |

| WeThePeople | geekadmin, yeah it could be.. im on 10.04 | 04:23 |
| GeekAdmin | It only gives me 4 options for resolution. This is unnaceptable considering I have 2 monitors | 04:24 |
| crizis | Cell, X draws everything on your screen, whether it's local or remote | 04:24 |
| Cell | Why don't the desktop managers do that themselves instead of depending on x? | 04:25 |
| WeThePeople | geekadmin, do you ave both monitors running | 04:25 |
| crizis | Cell, like how, by drawing straight to framebuffer without drivers? =P | 04:25 |
| GeekAdmin | WeThePeople: yes I do, but I cant get both to be just right at the same time. Just not enough options for screen res. | 04:26 |
| Cell | Doesnt the kernel providea hardware abstraction layer | 04:26 |

| === jay is now known as j4rg0n | ||
| GeekAdmin | WeThePeople: all I see when i type "multiple screens" in the software center is Lyricue, Hackworld, and Yabause | 04:30 |
| reher | on linx, X is more of a framework, a protocol to draw graphics, the desktop environments extend this functionality by bringing in their interfaces and tools etc. | 04:30 |
| Cell | so you could run an gui application without usinga desktop? | 04:31 |
| crizis | Cell, going to fine details, on local machine X server talks to "clients" through unix sockets so nothing goes through network | 04:31 |
| Mailman | WeThePeople: I'm on Ubuntu 12.04.1 | 04:31 |
| reher | there's no equivalent in windows because it works in a different way | 04:31 |
| crizis | Cell, and there are extensions to draw directly to the gpu, like what OpenGL games do | 04:31 |
| Cell | why does it use the client-server architecture? Can multiple desktop sessions run off the same computer? | 04:32 |
| crizis | Cell, yes | 04:32 |
| Cell | oh I see | 04:32 |
| reher | yep | 04:32 |
| crizis | you can use a single machine to provide desktops for bunch of thinclients | 04:32 |
| Cell | interesting | 04:32 |
| reher | and, also, multiple implementations (KDE, GNOME, etc.) | 04:32 |
| crizis | reher, desktops have nothing to do with X | 04:32 |
| crizis | these are just apps that run on top of X | 04:32 |

| crizis | fgrlx has nothing to do with being able to log in to cinnamon or not | 04:35 |

| ForSpareParts | Cell, well, I'm going to try getting rid of it, we'll see if it helps... | 04:35 |
| Cell | well when I installed it from the ATI installer, I think it must have forced the login script to run Unity | 04:35 |
| crizis | ok well, i've used additional drivers dialog and it Just Works(tm) every time | 04:36 |
| Cell | will reinstalling cinnamon remove my current settings? I have a custom theme | 04:36 |
| crizis | Cell, any particular reason why you installed amd driver manually? | 04:37 |
| crizis | Cell, if you have these things in your account dir, these won't be removed | 04:37 |
| Cell | Because I read people had problems in the version in the software center so I wanted to use the latest version off their website | 04:37 |

| jagginess | (screens term can also mean other things) | 04:39 |
| Adie | jagginess, yes, I have three displays | 04:39 |

| crizis | :) | 04:40 |
| jagginess | Adie, that's tricky.. | 04:40 |
| jagginess | Adie, i would check for errors in ~/.xsession-errors | 04:41 |
| jagginess | Adie, maybe it's just gnome acting up.. | 04:41 |
| Cell | I saw that earlier actually | 04:41 |
| SpacePoet | how do i check the hash of a file? | 04:41 |
| Cell | but it doesn't say anything about uninstalling | 04:41 |
| crizis | Cell, i still recommend just installing "fglrx-updates" package from repositories, works fine | 04:41 |
| jagginess | Adie, did you try the 'display' settings options in gnome? (or are you trying xorg.conf?) | 04:41 |
| crizis | Cell, http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Precise_Installation_Guide#Removing_Catalyst.2Ffglrx there's uninstall instructions | 04:41 |
| Adie | jagginess, I don't know what you mean | 04:41 |
| jagginess | Adie, yeah.. it is tricky.. | 04:42 |
| crizis | Cell, after that you can just install ubuntu-shipped "fglrx-updates" package to get newer driver, propely packaged | 04:42 |
| Adie | all the displays work fine, it's just after a while my middle display shows the mouse in a corrupted way | 04:42 |

| Cell | In recent years, GNU/Linux desktop graphics has moved from having "a pile of rendering interfaces... all talking to the X server, which is at the center of the universe" towards putting the Linux kernel "in the middle", with "window systems like X and Wayland ... off in the corner". This will be "a much-simplified graphics system offering more flexibility and better performance" | 04:42 |

| Cell | This is moving towards how I thought linux worked | 04:42 |
| jagginess | Adie, you should file a bug report.. btw does this happen specifically after a while using a program? | 04:43 |
| jagginess | (a specific program) | 04:43 |
| Adie | This is not yet a reproducible issue. It is seemingly random so far. | 04:43 |
| jagginess | Adie, my wildest guess is you can check out any auto-configuration done by evdev related events | 04:44 |
| jagginess | Adie, (maybe even turn off auto-configuration of input devices for X, but will need to explicitly define them) | 04:44 |
| jagginess | Adie, this isn't fun, but that's what i'd check out.. | 04:45 |
| Adie | :x | 04:45 |
| jagginess | Adie, cat ~/.xsession-errors , ? | 04:45 |
| crizis | Cell, no one really codes "for X" nowadays anyway, everyone develops apps on top of qt/gtk/opengl and X is just an elephant in the corner rendering things on screen :) | 04:46 |
| Cell | thats what I thought | 04:46 |
| Cell | it seemed like an outdated architecture | 04:46 |
| jagginess | Adie, may be relevant, dunno.. so check out for any logs :/ | 04:46 |
| crizis | it's not "outdated" | 04:46 |
| Cell | having the kernel taking over the graphics is a better idea | 04:46 |

| King_Cobra | just wondering.. how do i delete unwanted items off of the boot choice list when you first start up your machine? | 04:58 |
| Cell | ok | 04:58 |
| jagginess | Adie, (speculating if there's a problematic app "at the time" the mousing issue happens) | 04:58 |
| Cell | I have to install fglrx first right | 04:59 |
| LiDaR | Adie: lotuspsychje had the same issue he enabled nomodeset to fix it | 04:59 |
| wilee-nilee | King_Cobra, what is unwanted? | 04:59 |

| crizis^ | Cell, no | 04:59 |
| Adie | :x | 05:00 |
| Cell | I dont have fglrx installed | 05:00 |

| King_Cobra | brb | 05:03 |
| wilee-nilee | King_Cobra, Did you remove mint from ubuntu and not reload the ubuntu grub to the mbr if mint had control. What ever OS was at the top of grub without any grub modifications had the control. | 05:03 |
| crizis^ | Cell, remember to select the 'fglrx-updates' package instead of 'fglrx' | 05:03 |
| Cell | ah now I see what you meant, damnit, let me uninstall that fglrx | 05:03 |
| King_Cobra | ubuntu had control.. still does.. | 05:03 |
| === j33p is now known as jeep | ||
| wilee-nilee | King_Cobra, So when you run the update you still see mint listed. Do you have multiple HD's and are you sure mint is gone, as grub is seeing something. And has grub been modified. | 05:05 |
| wilee-nilee | King_Cobra, please use nicks as well you can tab complete them. ;) | 05:06 |
| ShapeShifter499 | hi | 05:06 |

| King_Cobra | i removed the mint partition, then ran the sudo update-grub, but when i rebooted the computer mint was still on the list.. | 05:06 |
| Cell | it killed my cinnamon panels, so im not sure how i'll be able to | 05:06 |

| jeep | selite: what kind of computer is it | 05:45 |
| selite | jeep: Sony Vaio. | 05:45 |
| jeep | selite: what model number | 05:45 |
| selite | What worries me the most is that there is a huge Linux community and they have still not managed to fix the overheating bug, it's like they close their eyes when people complain. | 05:45 |

| selite | Yes, I have tried that, I've tried everything that exists on the net, I used Ubuntu for months I coped with the overheating because I had to use it, however, this is unbearable. | 05:49 |
| selite | All I want is a Linux version that doesn't overheat, why can't I have that? | 05:49 |
| jeep | selite: you did the patch from sony website ? | 05:49 |
| blackshirt | selite, what distro have you tried? | 05:50 |
| selite | I don't think there is a patch from Sony website, I've tried Ubuntu, Mint, Open SUSE, Fedora, and they *ALL* overheat. | 05:50 |

| lotuspsychje | Geekadmin: not tested myself no | 06:20 |
| Adie | this is also not a "reproducible" issue | 06:20 |
| Adie | it's not like I can change something and confirm it's fixed | 06:20 |
| Adie | seems rendomly triggered to me | 06:20 |
| MonkeyDust | GeekAdmin there's only nanny, but it's buggy, a launchpad bug entry has been submitted | 06:20 |
| lotuspsychje | Adie: yes there is, but it will disable compiz and run unity 2d | 06:20 |
| GeekAdmin | MonkeyDust: yea I see it has bad reviews | 06:20 |
| lotuspsychje | Adie: you wanna try the nomodeset option? | 06:21 |
| wilee-nilee | camscam, Cool, just be sure to run a update-grub as well. | 06:21 |
| Adie | maybe in a bit, I dunno | 06:21 |
| GeekAdmin | Well thats kindof nuts. I can't believe someone hasnt scripted up parental software for Linux. Especially with edubuntu out. WIsh I was better with programming. :-p | 06:21 |
| Adie | it would prolly run for hours or days with no issue before this happens again | 06:21 |

| GeekAdmin | lotuspsychje: thanks. What about adblocking software for firefox or chrome | 06:23 |

| ShapeShifter499 | :/ | 06:39 |
| jeep | ShapeShifter499: reloading the module may fix it | 06:39 |
| ShapeShifter499 | jeep, how? | 06:39 |
| ShapeShifter499 | jeep, how do I reload the module? | 06:40 |
| Wesley0 | I installed the compiz config and when I rebooted I was unable to login to my user account. It goes black like it's loading for a few seconds and then returns to login page. Any ideas? | 06:40 |
| ranveer5289 | ShapeShifter499: try unload and than reloading the kernel module using sudo modprobe -r kernel_modile and sudo modprobe kernel_module | 06:40 |
| lotuspsychje | Wesley0: you tryed unity2D yet? | 06:40 |
| jeep | ShapeShifter499: lsmod will show currently used ones .. if it screws up modprobe missing-mod | 06:40 |
| ranveer5289 | ShapeShifter499: to get your module use lsmod | grep mouse | 06:40 |
| Wesley0 | lotuspsychje: Yes, I tried 2D and resarting a couple times. And same thing. | 06:41 |
| lotuspsychje | Wesley0: you got an older grafix card? | 06:41 |
| micah_ | lol does anyone know how to get someones facebook/facebook email password? | 06:42 |
| ranveer5289 | micah_: LOL | 06:42 |
| lotuspsychje | micah_:this is not the chan to ask | 06:42 |
| Adie | I feel like something just broke in my linux | 06:42 |
| ShapeShifter499 | ranveer5289, and this might fix the broken button? | 06:42 |
| micah_ | oops what channel for that? | 06:42 |
| Wesley0 | lotuspsychje: I believe it is, I'll be honest I'm not sure. | 06:42 |
| ShapeShifter499 | ranveer5289, the broken touchpad disable/re-enable button | 06:43 |
| Adie | micah_, try ##hardware | 06:43 |
| lotuspsychje | Wesley0: you can try adding 'nomodeset' to grub to see whats wrong | 06:43 |
| ranveer5289 | ranveer5289: No it will not fix the broken button but I believe you don't have to restart it everytime | 06:43 |
| micah_ | thanks | 06:43 |
| Wesley0 | lotuspsychje: Okay, I could try that. Also, is there a way I could uninstall it from the text based login? I haven't tried that yet because I wanted to ask first. | 06:44 |
| wurmphlegm | Wesley0: sudo apt-get remove (package name) | 06:44 |
| silverarrow | what is the difference between shockwave player, and flash player? | 06:44 |
| lotuspsychje | Wesley0:we need to make sure whats happening to our box | 06:44 |
| ShapeShifter499 | ranveer5289, I wonder if I change it so the button will run modprobe -r psmouse (the name of my mouse module) when on and modprobe psmouse when off | 06:45 |
| ShapeShifter499 | that would be a better fix (I think) | 06:45 |
| silverarrow | sudo apt-get remove all phlegm | 06:45 |
| ranveer5289 | ranveer5289: I don't know if you can map the harware switch like this but you can look into xmodmap | 06:46 |

| wurmphlegm | silverarrow: shockwave is for advertisements and stuff | 06:46 |
| lotuspsychje | Wesley0: sudo gedit etc/default/grub, and add the line nomodeset after 'quiet splash' and sudo update-grub and reboot | 06:46 |

| awaad | I am trying to access AIX machine from Ubuntu machine through ssh without a password | 06:47 |
| ShapeShifter499 | ranveer5289, thats what showed up on my xchat client | 06:48 |
| lotuspsychje | !ot | wurmphlegm | 06:48 |
| ubottu | wurmphlegm: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 06:48 |
| awaad | So I created on Ubuntu public and private keys using "ssh-keygen" | 06:48 |
| ranveer5289 | ShapeShifter499: I don't know why that is happening | 06:48 |
| wurmphlegm | yeah whatever...i was trying to help him leave | 06:48 |
| awaad | then I used "scp" to copy the public key to that AIX machine in the home directory of the user in .ssh/authorized_keys | 06:48 |
| ShapeShifter499 | ranveer5289, well it fixed itself | 06:49 |
| awaad | Then I tried to access again using ssh, but it still asks me for a password | 06:49 |
| ShapeShifter499 | seems ok now | 06:49 |
| awaad | ay one can help ? | 06:49 |
| ranveer5289 | ShapeShifter499: :) No idea | 06:49 |
| lotuspsychje | !ssh | awaad | 06:49 |
| ubottu | awaad: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 06:49 |

| ranveer5289 | ShapeShifter499: If you need to disable your touchpad you can use synclient for that. | 06:51 |
| wurmphlegm | he's just being annoying | 06:51 |
| lotuspsychje | awaad: did you read the url? alot of usefull info on there about ssh | 06:51 |
| ShapeShifter499 | ranveer5289, I missed your last post | 06:53 |
| przemek | !scp | 06:54 |
| ranveer5289 | ShapeShifter499: If you need to disable your touchpad you can use synclient for that. | 06:54 |
| ubottu | scp is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ | 06:54 |
| ranveer5289 | ShapeShifter499: try synclient synclient touchpadoff=1 | 06:54 |
| ranveer5289 | ShapeShifter499: to disable and than use synclient touchpadoff=0 to re-enable it. | 06:55 |
| ShapeShifter499 | ranveer5289, I don't want to disable it, I like the button to be disabled because I can hit it and if I do I'll have to reboot my system to get my mouse working | 06:55 |
| ShapeShifter499 | again | 06:55 |
| ranveer5289 | ShapeShifter499: so that reloading and unloading worked or not? | 06:55 |
| ShapeShifter499 | it works but how do I run the commands if I can't use my mouse? | 06:56 |
| ShapeShifter499 | I can't even get to terminal | 06:56 |
| ShapeShifter499 | maybe I'll have to have terminal on a keyboard shortcut | 06:56 |
| ranveer5289 | ShapeShifter499: well you can use a keyboard shortcut | 06:57 |
| awaad | lotuspsychje: I took a look but found no thing helpful | 06:57 |
| ShapeShifter499 | ranveer5289, it bothers me that the button doesn't work like it did on windows | 06:57 |
| timfrost | awaad: check permissions on the remote directories and file - unless the remote directory ~user, ~user/.ssh (and parent directories) and file ~user/.ssh/authorized_keys can only be written to by the owner, the remote sshd won't accept the public key | 06:57 |
| ranveer5289 | ShapeShifter499: It happens | 06:57 |
| ranveer5289 | ShapeShifter499: You can also do one thing create a small bash script and bind that script to a keyboard shortcut using xmodmap or xbindkeys | 06:58 |
| awaad | timfrost: authorized_keys file permission is "rw-r--r--" | 06:59 |
| awaad | timfrost: .ssh directory permission is "rwx------" | 06:59 |

| === hp is now known as Guest74794 | ||
| awaad | timfrost: Sorry for being noisy, but is there any other thing that I can check ? | 07:01 |
| timfrost | awaad: check the permissions on the remote home directory, and the tree from / to that home directory (ownership doesn't matter but write permissions are critical). Also, did you copy the public key | 07:03 |
| quazimodo | guys I have no idea whats going on | 07:04 |
| noskcaj | so... | 07:05 |
| quazimodo | but the wireless on my 12.04 install has become ecruciatingly slow | 07:05 |
| quazimodo | particularly on my home network. On other networks it seems to be ok | 07:05 |
| quazimodo | think its an ubuntu issue? | 07:05 |
| noskcaj | does your wifi work at normal speeds on other computerss? | 07:05 |
| quazimodo | no other computer to check with | 07:06 |
| quazimodo | i guess thats the next step isnt it | 07:06 |
| quazimodo | get another pc to confirm | 07:06 |
| timfrost | awaad: you may also need to check with your server admins, because they may have disabled public-key authentication in the system configuration | 07:06 |
| noskcaj | yes, unfortuantly until then we cant really help | 07:06 |
| quazimodo | no probs | 07:06 |
| awaad | timfrost: I checked the permissions and it's okay. What do you mean by copying the public key? If you mean to ask If I copied the public key from my ubuntu to the AIX in the .ssh directory in the home directory of the user, the answer is yes | 07:07 |
| timfrost | awaad: as the permissions are correct, and you copied the correct key, the server configuration is the next thing to check | 07:09 |
| awaad | timfrost: The same server is used to be accessed from other AIX machines using public, private key authentication without any problem, so this means that the configurations of the server are right. | 07:10 |

| kcah | prompt once to ask for the 1st password and prompt a 2nd time to ask for another password | 07:13 |
| awaad | timfrost: Is there any difference in the steps if I am accessing AIX machine from Ubunto machine and if I am accessing AIX machine from Ubuntu machine ? | 07:13 |
| jrib | awaad: I'd suggest starting over and using ssh-copy-id instead of scp. If the problem persists, check your server configuration. If the problem persists, restart the ssh server in debug mode and check what happens (on the server) when you attempt to connect | 07:13 |
| timfrost | awaad: a thought: at work, I encountered a case where the user home directory, the .ssh directory and/or the .ssh/authorized_keys file did not belong to the correct user. If any of those cases applied, the keys were rejected | 07:15 |

| ikonia | ebs512: can you define what you mean by "gnome" unity is built on gnome, so what do you want to change | 07:43 |
| ikonia | karlg: apt-get -d | 07:43 |
| ikonia | karlg: man apt-get for all options | 07:43 |
| ebs512 | ikonia, I have 2 branches to login to( actually more) Ubuntu, which I am using currently, Gnome, Gnome Classic, and Ubuntu2D, when I login to Gnome, the only selection on top is Applications | 07:44 |
| skpl^ | ebs512: http://extensions.gnome.org | 07:44 |
| ikonia | ebs512: when you launch gnome - is it launching unity on gnome, or something else on gnome ? | 07:44 |
| ebs512 | unity is not launched when logged into Gnome | 07:45 |

| ebs512 | no top bar, no bottom bar just applications in the upper left hand corner and my desktop icons | 07:46 |
| bolosaur | is there any way to check which ports are open in ubuntu, so that i can set up VNC? | 07:47 |
| n3v3rm1nd | pleace send me this 2 files | 07:47 |

| ubuntumbp | hi | 08:07 |
| ubuntumbp | how can i get ubuntu on my MacBookPro9,2? iv'e got it to boot with noapic but the keyboard/trackpad doesn't work | 08:07 |
| ikonia | !mac | 08:08 |
| ubottu | For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 08:08 |
| ikonia | ubuntumbp: check out the basics on there, get the basics covered off first | 08:08 |
| Onnonymous | negev: Why would you not upgrade the kernel? It's perhaps the most important item to upgrade. | 08:08 |
| ikonia | Onnonymous: because not everyone wants to reboot all the time | 08:08 |
| Guest74773 | If a version of ubuntu is not listed macbook pro community documentation as being compatible, does that mean it is incompatible or just untested? | 08:11 |
| ikonia | most likely untested | 08:11 |
| Guest74773 | Alright. | 08:11 |
| ikonia | the mac "buzz" has only recently been ackowledged | 08:12 |
| Guest74773 | I don't want to use like version 10 or whatever. | 08:12 |
| ikonia | Guest74773: what version are you using ? | 08:12 |
| Guest74773 | I'm wanting to install 12.04 | 08:12 |
| ikonia | Guest74773: the later the version the more likely/better the support will be | 08:12 |
| Guest74773 | But it lists 11 for my model. | 08:12 |
| Guest74773 | Yeah, I figured as much. | 08:12 |
| Guest74773 | I guess I could stay up to install this. *yawn* | 08:13 |
| T3X | my ubuntu server booting on busybox how do i get rid of it? | 08:13 |
| oldeagle | I have installed Ubuntu 12.04 in dual boot with W7. Now I want to make the Ubuntu partition larger, and thw W7 one much smaller (than I originally selected when installung U). Can I do this from within Ubuntu? | 08:13 |
| Guest74773 | Oh, is there any reason why I shouldn't be using an iPod as a USB to install Ubuntu? Or is that fine? It's an 8gig iPod and I reformatted it and everything | 08:14 |
| ikonia | oldeagle: you'll need to do this from live media (a live CD) as the partitions will be in use | 08:14 |
| ikonia | Guest74773: as a usb device......I can't see a problem, but then it's apple with funky firmware and stuff, so I wouldn't use it if I could use a regular device | 08:14 |
| oldeagle | ikonia, do you know what program I should use? | 08:15 |
| bolosaur | Is it possible to somehow control Ubuntu with a gamepad? | 08:15 |
| Guest74773 | I've had success with it before, so I'll give it a try! | 08:15 |
| ikonia | gparted is a good tool | 08:15 |
| ikonia | bolosaur: you can hook up Wii and PS3 controllers, (xbox360 too, but I've not done that) if you configure them as input devices within Xorg, yes | 08:15 |
| oldeagle | ikonia, ok. Will try. Thanks! | 08:15 |
| bolosaur | ikonia: what would they control though | 08:16 |
| bolosaur | if set as input devices | 08:16 |
| bolosaur | the mouse cursor? | 08:16 |
| ikonia | the mouse pointer, cursor focus, whatever you set them up as | 08:16 |
| bolosaur | ah | 08:16 |
| Guest74773 | XBOX360 shouldn't be hard if you have a USB XBOX360 controller. | 08:16 |
| === yavor is now known as y4h0 | ||
| bolosaur | hm, maybe a better idea would be to VNC to this gaming setup | 08:17 |
| bolosaur | and start the games from there | 08:17 |
| ikonia | running games over remote desktop = lag/bad redraw rates, lack of acceleration, however its up to you what you do | 08:17 |
| bolosaur | nah ikonia | 08:17 |
| bolosaur | just for booting the games | 08:17 |
| bolosaur | id still have the gaming comp hooked up to a tv | 08:18 |
| bolosaur | :D | 08:18 |
| bolosaur | i mean that would work, right? | 08:18 |
| ikonia | why do you need to vnc to a machine to start a game ? | 08:18 |
| ikonia | why can you not start the game from the display you are using ? | 08:18 |
| bolosaur | because its tucked in under my tv | 08:18 |
| bolosaur | its a laptop | 08:18 |
| bolosaur | with two controllers sticking out of its container | 08:18 |
| ikonia | bolosaur: so you still have a screen (to play the games on) why are you not using that screen ? | 08:18 |
| bolosaur | because i still need to be able to boot/manage the games | 08:19 |
| bolosaur | on the laptop | 08:19 |
| bolosaur | and i figured it'd be nice to not have to use a wireless keyboard/mouse | 08:19 |
| ikonia | bolosaur: why do you not manage the games from the screen you are using to play the games | 08:20 |
| bolosaur | because its not a touch screen? :p | 08:20 |
| RORO588 | ikonia | 08:20 |
| bolosaur | i still need some kind of controller | 08:20 |
| RORO588 | can you help me | 08:20 |
| bolosaur | for the OS itself | 08:20 |
| ikonia | bolosaur: so use a mouse, | 08:20 |
| ikonia | RORO588: you need to ask a question | 08:20 |
| RORO588 | private | 08:20 |
| ikonia | what ? | 08:20 |
| bolosaur | well, my tv already has tons of stuff hooked up to it. im trying to get away with not having any visible peripherals for this ubuntu gaming laptop | 08:21 |
| bolosaur | save for two controllers | 08:21 |
| ikonia | do what ever you want then | 08:21 |
| bolosaur | yeah like | 08:21 |
| bolosaur | im considering three things right now; 1) VNCing to the computer (since i always have a laptop nearby) 2) controlling ubuntu with a gamepad (if that's not too hard) or 3) having a wireless keyboard and mouse | 08:22 |
| bolosaur | i couldnt get VNC to work yesterday though because it uses an iphone as modem/source of internet and for some reason port 5900 is blocked | 08:22 |
| bolosaur | and yes, i do have a ghetto setup. no need to mention it. ;P | 08:23 |
| RORO430 | ikonia | 08:23 |
| RORO430 | i ask here | 08:23 |
| RORO430 | i need 2 files | 08:23 |
| Guest74773 | Bolo that's kind of hilarious. | 08:23 |
| RORO430 | pptpd.comf and ppp folder | 08:24 |
| RORO430 | sned me in email | 08:24 |
| bolosaur | Guest74773: how so :) | 08:24 |
| bolosaur | it actually looks great | 08:24 |
| ikonia | RORO430: you asked as n3v3rm1nd earlier and where told the answer | 08:24 |
| ikonia | RORO430: youd distro is unsupported. | 08:24 |
| Guest74773 | Just the absurdity of the whole setup. But if it works, more power to ya. | 08:24 |
| RORO430 | omg | 08:24 |
| RORO430 | fucking idionts | 08:25 |
| RORO430 | bye | 08:25 |
| Kartagis | !find snmpget | 08:25 |
| ubottu | File snmpget found in libnet-snmp-perl, php-doc, python-pysnmp2, python-pysnmp4-apps, snmp | 08:25 |
| bolosaur | Guest74773: I agree that it's absurd, but my philosophy is that I want as much functionality/as many devices as possible without having to do any initial setting up before using them. Like, I don't want to have to mess around with cables and stuff in order to use devices. | 08:26 |
| bolosaur | So right now I have a ghetto WiFi consisting of an Ubuntu laptop using an iPhone as internet source, which is subsequently shared to all other nearby devices. In addition, it also shares internet via LAN to my Xbox since I don't have a WiFi peripheral for it. | 08:26 |
| === n is now known as Guest2649 | ||
| bolosaur | however, i'd like for this laptop to double as an emulator gaming console | 08:26 |
| bolosaur | so right now im trying to find the best solution for that that also won't require me to mess around with anything prior to playing | 08:27 |
| bolosaur | beyond just booting the game :D | 08:27 |
| Guest74773 | Haha. I'd just get a cheap computer for that | 08:27 |
| bolosaur | well isnt that what i have already? ;) | 08:27 |
| Guest74773 | Oh... right! | 08:28 |
| bolosaur | but maybe ikonia is right. perhaps a mouse would be the easiest | 08:28 |
| bolosaur | using* | 08:28 |
| Guest74773 | Well at least get a proper router! lol | 08:28 |
| bolosaur | Haha. | 08:28 |
| Guest74773 | Oh, you could use a joystick instead of a mouse | 08:28 |
| bolosaur | Oh, good idea. | 08:28 |
| Guest74773 | like a simple 2 button joystick | 08:28 |
| bolosaur | that'd be awesome. | 08:28 |
| ebs512 | thank you for the extension whoever linked me | 08:29 |
| bolosaur | Actually, maybe I can VNC to it via Bluetooth. Would that be possible? | 08:29 |
| Guest74773 | Yeah :) and it would also function in gaming, too! | 08:29 |
| bolosaur | awesome | 08:29 |
| bolosaur | :D | 08:29 |
| bolosaur | well you people have given me some neat ideas | 08:30 |
| hmf | hello | 08:30 |
| bolosaur | so thanks | 08:30 |
| Guest74773 | VNC via Bluetooth, eh? | 08:30 |
| karlg | ikonia, gnome-tweak-tool do not resolve my problem! I have wallch program which make animations in my desktop's background, but the default program installed (to manage my desktop background) on my ubuntu do not do it. | 08:30 |
| bolosaur | Guest74773: isnt that possible? | 08:31 |
| bolosaur | i mean, cant you route an internal IP to the bluetooth devices somehow? | 08:31 |
| bolosaur | and then connect to that IP+ | 08:31 |
| karlg | I want to change my default program into wallch, that's my goal. | 08:31 |
| bolosaur | ?* | 08:31 |
| bolosaur | er, route a local IP address to the bluetooth connection* | 08:31 |
| Guest74773 | Yeah... but | 08:32 |
| Guest74773 | why bother? | 08:32 |
| bolosaur | because then i wont need any extra peripherals for my gaming laptop, which is tucked away out of sight | 08:32 |
| Guest74773 | I mean all you REALLY need to do is have the laptop go to the TV, and then use bluetooth for the controllers... right? | 08:32 |
| ikonia | karlg: no-one said anything about gnome-twweak-tool - you asked about vbox | 08:32 |
| bolosaur | Guest74773: yeah but i still need something to manage the OS with | 08:32 |
| ikonia | karlg: I cannot talk to you if you expect answers to questions you've not ased | 08:32 |
| ikonia | asked | 08:32 |
| Guest74773 | What do you mean? Use a bluetooth keyboard and an arcade stick. | 08:33 |
| karlg | later I ask questions about it , before talk about vbox, excuse me if it were not you | 08:33 |
| hmf | Hello is there a way to rename my machine name? thx | 08:33 |
| bolosaur | Well, that's not a bad solution. But it would be even better if I didn't have to use anything but the gamepads. | 08:33 |
| bolosaur | so i'm trying to find a way to do that | 08:34 |
| Guest74773 | Yeah but u cant type anything | 08:34 |
| hmf | I named it after the model of the laptop not the correct thing to do. | 08:35 |
| Guest74773 | I mean i GUESS you could use the onscreen keyboard exclusively | 08:35 |
| karlg | ok, I remember, it was someone like blackshirt... | 08:35 |
| Guest74773 | since you wont need it much | 08:35 |
| bolosaur | Guest74773: well if I use VNC, i can easily control it for the moment | 08:35 |
| ebs512 | what are the alternative apps for conky? other system monitors for the desktop? | 08:35 |
| bolosaur | i have a small macbook air 11" | 08:35 |
| bolosaur | so i could just keep it on the table and control the machine with it | 08:35 |
| hmf | it should be the mobo model number for the name | 08:36 |
| Guest74773 | Yeah very true. | 08:36 |
| karlg | ikonia, can you still help for my question? | 08:36 |
| Guest74773 | Uhm | 08:36 |
| Guest74773 | what OS is the gaming laptop hybrid running? | 08:36 |
| === emil is now known as Emil- | ||

| ikonia | karlg: no idea how to set that up, I'd have to research | 08:38 |
| karlg | ok, thanks | 08:38 |
| Guest74773 | Try and find a Mac to Ubuntu program that will let you do remote management | 08:38 |
| Guest74773 | then you can just go directly over the local network, right? | 08:38 |
| bolosaur | I have an OSX app called Screens, which apparently allows VNC connections. | 08:38 |
| Guest74773 | Hmmm. | 08:39 |
| bolosaur | Also, the laptop doesn't have WiFi, so LAN is not possible. :P | 08:39 |
| bolosaur | I'd have to go through bluetooth or the iphone connection | 08:39 |
| Guest74773 | I've only ever used Apple Remote Desktop Connection, but I think that's Mac only. | 08:39 |
| Guest74773 | Wow... I don't even... | 08:39 |
| bolosaur | and the iphone blocks port 5900 apparently | 08:39 |
| bolosaur | so im gonna use a BT dongle and connect through there i think | 08:39 |
| bolosaur | haha hey, don't knock my awesome ghetto setup ;) | 08:39 |
| Guest74773 | Can't you just change the port it uses? | 08:40 |
| bolosaur | i dont know. i tried using VINO yesterday | 08:40 |
| bolosaur | but it didnt let me select any ports | 08:40 |
| Guest74773 | Hmmmm. | 08:40 |
| bolosaur | i think a BT connection would be best | 08:41 |
| bolosaur | that way i can find a use for my old BT dongle too ;D | 08:41 |
| bolosaur | I have to give credit to Ubuntu though, I tried doing a similar setup maybe 1-2 years ago and | 08:41 |
| bolosaur | it just totally broke the system | 08:41 |
| bolosaur | i had to do a lot of under-the-hood stuff | 08:42 |
| bolosaur | now its all automated and/or done via GUI | 08:42 |
| bolosaur | and works flawlessly | 08:42 |
| Guest74773 | Hahaha wow. That sounds like a nightmare. | 08:42 |
| bolosaur | in fact, i tried doing it on the very same laptop before, and it couldnt even maintain a connection! | 08:42 |
| bolosaur | now it all works perfectly fine | 08:42 |
| karlg | please, I have wallch program which make animations in my desktop's background, but the default program installed (to manage my desktop background) on my ubuntu do not do it. I want to change my default program in wallch. | 08:42 |
| bolosaur | yeah, it was a nightmare | 08:42 |
| bolosaur | lost a lot of data because all communication devices on the computer broke | 08:42 |
| bolosaur | so i couldnt get my data off of it :( | 08:42 |

| hex20dec | ThinkT510: But it was annoying, because if I would launch an app from the terminal, and then close the terminal by accident, the app would close too. | 14:07 |

| flametai1 | ThinkT510, Thank you I know, but does Wcid have trouble connecting to it do you know of? I was using a Linux distro that uses Wcid and it won't connect to my home network and run properly, yet I connected to my phone using Wireless tether that uses a WPA2 and it ran just fine, would this be due to Wcid do you know? | 14:08 |
| ThinkT510 | flametai1: no idea sorry, haven't used wicd since zenwalk | 14:09 |
| ThinkT510 | flametai1: any reason you are using wep? | 14:09 |
| mneptok | flametai1: questions about other Linux distros are offtopic. | 14:09 |
| hfic | loved zenwalk | 14:09 |
| flametai1 | ThinkT510: I live in a very low tech area, so WEP really doesn't bother me that much, I probably will switch to WPA2 where I believe WCid has troubles connecting to WEP. | 14:10 |
| ThinkT510 | flametai1: if you don't have to use wep then seriously consider switching to wpa | 14:11 |
| Bhavesh | Can I install Ubuntu on my 8GB pen drive by installing its setup on another pen drive and then selecting the 8GB pen drive as the install destination with use entire disk? | 14:11 |
| flametai1 | mneptok: I use various distros, and might use WCid for Ubuntu later down the road, so I don't see where the "off topic" part really comes in, it is a related question to any distro. | 14:11 |

| Bhavesh | cfhowlett: I use live boot currently but ubuntu 12.04 takes 5 to 8 minutes to boot from my pen drive | 14:14 |
| Bhavesh | cfhowlett: so, I think I should install it on my pen drive rather than live booting it everytime. | 14:14 |
| cfhowlett | Bhavesh: seems like a long time ...perhaps with a lighter distro it'd run faster. x/l/ubuntu are options. | 14:15 |
| Bhavesh | cfhowlett: I want to use it at my college where every pc is ubuntu 10.04 LTS about 300 of them. But the problem is.. I don't get to access root. | 14:16 |
| Bhavesh | cfhowlett: so the question is... can I directly install ubuntu 12.04 on my pen drive like you do on a hard disk | 14:16 |
| Bhavesh | maybe I should just try it.. | 14:17 |
| cfhowlett | Bhavesh: I've never done it as i don't really get the difference between the startup disk and an installation to disk. | 14:18 |
| cfhowlett | Bhavesh: maybe someone else can chime in on this? | 14:18 |
| hfic | Bhavesh, unetbootin | 14:19 |
| ThinkT510 | Bhavesh: sure, you can install to usb just like you would a normal harddrive install, just make sure you put the bootloader on the usb too | 14:19 |
| p1l0t | So I am out of harddrive space.. I have an 80GB harddrive and it is partitioned into two parts one 30GB and one 50GB. the 30GB was basically kept as a backup after an OS fail. I partitioned and reinstalled on the 50GB. I have already verified that I have backed up everything I need from the 30GB partition and I now wipe it out for the extra 30gb.. Only problem is that is the original and only one that is flagged as bootable.. | 14:19 |
| cfhowlett | ThinkT510: thanks. that actually clarified things for me a bit. | 14:20 |
| ThinkT510 | Bhavesh: also i'm not sure if your college would have disabled booting from usb in the bios, you'd need to check that | 14:20 |
| Bhavesh | ThinkT510: "just make sure you put the bootloader on the usb too" that will happen automatically at the time of installation right? | 14:20 |
| Bhavesh | ThinkT510: I checked it today :) | 14:20 |
| cfhowlett | Bhavesh: it'll be OFFERED but not automatically done. | 14:20 |
| Bhavesh | cfhowlett: ok | 14:20 |

| Bhavesh | Also when I booted from my usb the ubuntu 12.04 live boot connected to internet (wired network) but I could not load pages. Later I checked their ubuntu 10.04's and they had a wired network named Auto eth0 with a mac address. Now all I have to do is copy and paste the mac address to my 12.04's wired network settings? | 14:23 |

| ubottu | krababbel: 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.

| [snake] | I installed gentoo on my desktop (in a folder called gentoo) can I tell grub2 to boot into that? | 15:07 |

| [snake] | ThinkT510, the subject of my question is not about gentoo, it's about grub. and you can install gentoo into a folder. | 15:08 |

| new2ubuntu | thats the server directory i guess | 15:38 |

| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this currently may cause problems with multiarch) - See also !automate | 15:53 |

| Zal | jetrost, command-line iptables isn't too bad | 16:03 |
| Zal | i.e., without firestarter | 16:03 |
| * steveg is away: DOOP! | 16:04 | |

| jetrost | Zal: oh, duh. i hadn't even tried that. i'll give it a shot, even though i'm not 100% sure what i'm doing with the iptables... | 16:04 |
| Tellmarch | command line iptables, on a server, when you don't know what you're doing, means that you'll likely lose all access to your server... but besides that it's not too bad | 16:04 |
| Tellmarch | :p | 16:04 |
| Zal | stefg, cool, that'd be for jetrost | 16:05 |
| Zal | jetrost, check out stefg's link too | 16:05 |
| stefg | Zal. right... out of line error :-) | 16:05 |
| === DjGeCk0 is now known as ^GeCk0^ | ||
| Zal | Tellmarch, probably just as easy to lock yourself out using firestarter I imagine :-) But yeah, proper caution is required (I typically use a script to test firewall changes, then flush them 30 seconds later, just in case) | 16:06 |
| hfic | why when I go to create a user account it's asking me for my actual root password and not the session user I'm currently logged into? | 16:06 |
| jetrost | Tellmarch: yeah, that may happen. but i'm running an instance of 12.04 server on an Amazon EC2 virtual machine, so creating a new one if i lose access isn't too big of a deal. would take about 2 minutes to get another one up and running to try again... | 16:06 |
| jetrost | Zal: that script idea is pretty clever. i'll have to remember that. unfortunately, my scripting skills are pretty rudimentary, so it would take me longer to hack together a script than it would to just reload the image and try again if i fuddle something up | 16:08 |
| Zal | no ideas on why my MOTD says "179 packages can be updated" but apt doesn't see them? | 16:09 |

| PMantis_Laptop | So far my efforts are not helping all the way. | 16:18 |
| Zal | stefg, I haven't tried that, because I'm under the impression that dist-upgrade will upgrade me to another ubuntu version, which is not desired in my case. Am I correct about what dist-upgrade does? | 16:18 |
| [snake] | PMantis_Laptop, it must be a config file somewhere. | 16:19 |
| SnapSnap | [snake], I knew it was for running Windows software on Linux, but I had some trouble installing a game that you have to log in to "Games for Windows" to play. Wasn't sure if that aspect of it could cause problems. | 16:19 |
| [snake] | PMantis_Laptop, you could go around the problem, that is download the 12.04 iso, backup all of your files and reinstall, then load everything back up. | 16:19 |
| mallet | Hi. I installed Ubuntu 12.04 and created a standard (non-administrative) user. But this standard user cannot shutdown the computer using the top right menu (under Unity). Do you know how I can allow shutdown (and reboot) for this user? | 16:19 |
| PMantis_Laptop | snake: I would assume so, but that doesn't help much. :( | 16:20 |
| PMantis_Laptop | snake: Upgrades should work, but that's a last resort. Unfortunately, being the first day of school, the teachers need the server up. | 16:20 |
| [snake] | PMantis_Laptop, oh... hm. what's the full problem? | 16:21 |
| stefg | Zal: no, unless you're not messing with your sources.list and do not use update-manager dist-upgrade will only lift you to the lastest versions *inside your current ubuntu version* | 16:21 |
| stefg | !apt | 16:21 |

| trecca | !list | 16:23 |
| stefg | Zal: very little.... the wording for dist-upgrade IMHO stems from the debian roots. it does different things on debian testing, but not on ubuntu | 16:23 |
| Xaratas | zal: update -> install new versions of already installed packages; dist-upgade -> install a complete new version of the os | 16:23 |
| Sidewinder1 | trecca, Not here.. | 16:23 |
| JosueGarcionum | The best way to upgrade your version of Ubuntu is to back-up all of the files you want to save, create a live cd of the version you want to upgrade to, and reinstall ubuntu. | 16:23 |
| Zal | PapaSierra2, does your script run OK from outside of cron? | 16:23 |
| gordonjcp | what is it with italians and !list? | 16:23 |
| [snake] | PMantis_Laptop, hm... I'm really not sure :/ that's really technical. but maybe you can google the problem. Does you name mean psycho mantis from metal gear solid? | 16:23 |
| Xaratas | or am i wrong? | 16:23 |
| Zal | stefg, ok, so if there are "179 updates available", and apt-get update shows zero, then presumably those updates are available for packages that are NOT currently installed? | 16:24 |
| Sidewinder1 | gordonjcp, That is a question that has baffled the sages for ages.. | 16:24 |
| gordonjcp | Xaratas: not quite | 16:24 |
| gordonjcp | Xaratas: "update" updates the package lists, "dist-upgrade" pulls in the updated packages | 16:24 |
| PMantis_Laptop | snake: I've googled for 2 hours. The bug filed says it's solved. And no.. just Praying Mantis shortened. | 16:24 |
| Zal | er, that was for Xaratas, sorry | 16:24 |
| anuxi | hi | 16:24 |
| PapaSierra2 | Zal, it works perfectly outside cron | 16:24 |
| JosueGarcionum | apt-get update only updates your software repos. The command you're looking for is sudo apt-get upgrade. | 16:25 |
| Zal | PapaSierra2, then the problem is likely your environment. cron uses a very limited environment compared to your logged in user | 16:25 |
| PapaSierra2 | Zal, meaning it doesn't have permission? | 16:25 |
| gordonjcp | Sidewinder1: it happens in a bunch of channels I'm in; someone from a .it IP addy shows up, says "ciao", says "!list", and then goes away again - or sometimes hangs about making racist comments in Italian | 16:25 |
| stefg | Zal, no.... there's something smelly in that message... At least it's safe to run dist-upgarde and see if your MOTD changes after that | 16:25 |
| DJones | Zal: I had something similar a while back and it was down to a corrupted MOTD and it was showing old information | 16:25 |
| PMantis_Laptop | PapaSierra2: If something workg outside of cron, but not in cron, it's likely because of the environment not being setup when it runs... use the full path like "/usr/bin/grep" (for example) instead of "grep" in your scripts. | 16:26 |
| Zal | PapaSierra2, no, it would run as whatever user the cron job is configured as (root, by default). But you may not have a "HOME" director | 16:26 |
| Zal | y, for example | 16:26 |
| Zal | DJones, yes, checked that bug, and unfortunately it's not what I'm experiencing. | 16:26 |
| hfic | with vsftpd.conf If I specify pasv_addr_resolve=YES and pasv_address=blah.dy.blah do I have to specifiy anything else? | 16:26 |
| Sidewinder1 | gordonjcp, That situation has been discussed adnausium; with no clear reason or answer. Just ignore "it". Heh,. | 16:27 |
| Abel408 | Hey everyone. I'm having trouble setting up a smtp authentication server with postfix and SASL. I want to make it as simple as possible. Whats the difference between pam and shadow? | 16:27 |
| Xaratas | Zal: packages which are not installed are not counted, try aptitud if apt-get is unclear in its messages | 16:27 |
| Xaratas | maybe it coud display something of more information | 16:27 |
| hfic | !aptitude | 16:27 |
| ubottu | 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. | 16:27 |

| Zal | thanks guys, "apt-get --dry-run dist-upgrade" shows the packages | 16:28 |
| PapaSierra2 | Zal, PMantis_Laptop i now understand what you're saying. however i can't spot the issue: my case is incredibly simple: http://www.hastebin.com/figibevojo.bash | 16:28 |
| Zal | PapaSierra2, probably the "./" is messing you up. Try a full absolute path to the script. | 16:29 |
| PMantis_Laptop | PapaSierra2: You have a DOT in front of the path in the cron entry don't use the dot. | 16:29 |

| bolosaur | just to be sure that im not missing anything | 17:12 |
| Zal | bolosaur, there's too many things that might be blocking, but "iptables -L" will show you if the local firewall is doing so. | 17:13 |
| bolosaur | Zal: its most likely my modem | 17:13 |
| bolosaur | so im just wondering if theres any way to check if port 5900 is really being blocked | 17:13 |

| no_gravity | oldereagle: there is unused space (grey) behind your ubuntu partition? | 17:22 |
| compdoc | oldereagle, /dev/sda5 tends to be the swap space | 17:22 |
| cat-orze | something I did, I added some lines | 17:23 |
| oldereagle | no_gravity, there is no unused space anywhere. But when I select to make win part smaller I get a grey unallocoated space in the middle. ... | 17:23 |

| oldereagle | compdoc, no. I have not "done" it yet. Only selevted it to be smaller. I have not "Applied all operations" yet. | 17:25 |
| no_gravity | oldereagle: you have to make unallocated space after your ubuntu partition. maybe before would also work. | 17:25 |
| mutio | atrius, amazing, isn't it | 17:25 |
| compdoc | atrius, you should boot the live cd/dvd and take a look at your drive | 17:26 |
| atrius | mutio: indeed | 17:26 |
| atrius | compdoc: nothing wrong with the disk.. i could easily vgchange -ay from busybox.. i think it has more to do with my somewhat unusual setup.. the machine in question is a 16 core OpenStack server | 17:27 |
| === h is now known as Guest13887 | ||
| compdoc | oldereagle, ok. so what you do is move the other parititons next to the windows partition until you get to the partition you want to grow. This is all very dangerous, btw. be sure you have a backup | 17:27 |
| mutio | atrius, but having a problem suddenly disappear gives you more information about the cause | 17:27 |
| compdoc | oldereagle, they say you should defrag the windows partition first - can help it from being damaged. then make the partition smaller | 17:27 |

| Meet | i m having a peculiar problem. at night after 10 pm or so, my internet speed suddenly plunges. I am not able to stream videos on youtube, facebook and g+ take eternity to load on all browsers. but torrent downloading is pretty much normal. i am getting my normal speeds (fractionally less). how do i find out the problem? | 17:32 |
| mutio | atrius, it could be that the linux storage driver isn't running perfectly stable, and so causes transient issues | 17:32 |
| mutio | Meet, are you on broadband? | 17:33 |
| Meet | mutio: yes | 17:33 |
| atrius | mutio: that seems perfectly logical at the moment.. but also scary.. can't really have this thing be that unstable | 17:33 |
| tech1 | probably your isp | 17:33 |
| tech1 | they cap certain traffic at certain times | 17:33 |
| mutio | Meet, if you are on broadband, you are sharing your bandwidth with everyone in your vicinity | 17:33 |
| Meet | tech1 i called them. the technician checked the speeds when it was working normal and used speedtest.net to find out the speeds. but in the afternoon or evening they are normal so the problem was not seen at that time | 17:34 |
| mutio | Meet, so if everyone else goes online at 10pm, they use up more bandwidth which you can't have | 17:34 |
| lickalott | has anyone seen an issue where the hard drives swap places within dev (for the boot parition)? makes it a bitch to have automounts and nfs shares..... | 17:34 |
| Meet | mutio, but then how come torrent downloading is normal? | 17:34 |
| lickalott | if there a way to make it static? | 17:34 |
| action09 | hi all | 17:34 |
| BluesKaj | lickalott, separate drives or just partitions ? | 17:35 |
| tech1 | torrent might use a different port | 17:35 |
| mutio | Meet, because torrents are usually forced to run slower anyways | 17:35 |
| tech1 | its more likley isp capping if you can still get torrent downloading | 17:36 |
| tech1 | i think | 17:36 |
| tech1 | they just cap certain ports | 17:36 |
| tech1 | not sure though | 17:36 |
| lickalott | serparate drives BluesKaj | 17:36 |
| BluesKaj | !UUID | lickalott | 17:36 |

| action09 | how to convince ubuntu not to do update through ipv6... please | 17:36 |
| Meet | tech1 torrent download is normal. so it does not seem they are capping. plus i have got an unlimited plan for broadband, without caps. | 17:36 |
| mutio | Meet, what's the normal speed you get for tottents compared to your best speed for everything else | 17:37 |
| tech1 | i mean they are capping certain ports. and torrent dosnt use that port so it dosnt get capped | 17:37 |
| tech1 | and there is no such thing as unlimited internet | 17:37 |
| Meet | the speeds are pretty much crappy in this part but still normally for torrents i get about 400kbps | 17:38 |
| Meet | now at night this speed is about 350kbps, which i am fine with // mutio | 17:38 |

| Meet | mutio: 100kbps | 17:41 |
| Meet | it said 0.1mbps so roughly mabye 100 right? // mutio | 17:41 |

| gordonjcp | t3hl33tb34t: what's hard to understand? | 18:05 |
| deadmund | ansii: Or maybe I wanna be a team member, then I would have to find a leader for my team | 18:05 |
| t3hl33tb34t | I can't understand them | 18:05 |
| t3hl33tb34t | I'm not that tech savvy | 18:05 |
| DJones | ansii: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/GettingStarted | 18:05 |
| gordonjcp | t3hl33tb34t: get an image, copy it onto a USB stick or burn it to a CD, put it in | 18:05 |
| t3hl33tb34t | CD and boot from it right? | 18:05 |
| gordonjcp | yup | 18:06 |
| Zal | ansii, whether or not anyone *uses* your project, or includes it in their linux distribution, depends on how good it is, and how good a leader you are. | 18:06 |
| ansii | Zal but can one do it solo.. u would need so much knowledge and info | 18:06 |
| CnoobShameless | how do i get identified with the servives | 18:06 |
| gordonjcp | t3hl33tb34t: remember if you create a CD, you're burning an ISO and not copying the file onto the disk | 18:06 |
| Zal | ansii, yep, you would. Some people have it. Most people open their project to at least some other contributors | 18:06 |
| deadmund | ansii: Ask Richard Stallman | 18:06 |
| t3hl33tb34t | I know that brah, I said software | 18:06 |
| Jordan_U | t3hl33tb34t: Please follow the instructions here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/install-ubuntu-desktop and tell use when you get to something you don't understand. | 18:06 |
| t3hl33tb34t | Daemon tools is pretty much my bitch. | 18:06 |
| deadmund | ansii: He single-handedly wrote emacs | 18:06 |
| gordonjcp | t3hl33tb34t: I'm not familiar with that, but you sound like you know what you're doing with it | 18:07 |
| gordonjcp | t3hl33tb34t: so get an iso, burn a disc, boot off it | 18:07 |
| khyzrh | test2 | 18:07 |
| ansii | where can i find Richard Stallman?? | 18:07 |
| ansii | deadmund where can i finf Richard Scallman | 18:07 |

| deadmund | ansii: He's a celeb, you can't talk to likely. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Stallman | 18:07 |
| t3hl33tb34t | I think that page was the wrong one | 18:08 |
| home | hi | 18:08 |
| t3hl33tb34t | it was talking about motu | 18:08 |
| ansii | deadmund ?what is emacs | 18:08 |
| deadmund | ansii: I was just using him as an example because he's written large software projects entirely on his own. | 18:08 |
| deadmund | ansii: emcas is a text editor / programming IDE | 18:08 |
| gordonjcp | t3hl33tb34t: so can you get as far as making a CD and booting it? Do "try Ubuntu without installing", and you've still got the option to install *anyway* | 18:08 |
| t3hl33tb34t | 0.0 | 18:09 |
| t3hl33tb34t | Maybe I don't need ubuntu | 18:09 |

| ubottu | ansii: To contribute and help out with Ubuntu, see http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ContributeToUbuntu | 18:09 |
| t3hl33tb34t | I hear it has bad support for most programs... | 18:09 |
| compdoc | oldereagle, sda4, sad5, and sda6 are one unit. Looks like you need to select sda4 and move that to move them all. Not really sure - Ive never tried this | 18:09 |
| akSeya | People can accidentally press 'delete' and delete files accidentally without even realizing it, that is dangerous! | 18:09 |
| t3hl33tb34t | xD | 18:09 |
| ansii | but where can i learn to code like.. even develop a small application | 18:09 |
| compdoc | oldereagle, ooops, I was scrolled back | 18:09 |
| akSeya | halp | 18:09 |
| ansii | deadmund but where can i learn to code like.. even develop a small application | 18:09 |
| deadmund | ansii: Where can you learn to program in general? Most people learn in college. You can teach yourself using online courses for free too though. | 18:10 |
| mutio | ansii, start small and work upwards | 18:10 |
| oldereagle | compdoc, ok. perhaps I should try posting in the gparted forum. It was very easy to split my W7 partion in the first place when installing Ubuntu. Changing it afterward is not so easy.... :) | 18:11 |
| ansii | i know programming deadmund, but i guess not as intricate as making a standalone application and that too in linux, i've made application in visual basic but i dont know just where to start here, its so confusing | 18:11 |
| compdoc | oldereagle, if you have no luck there, try the mailing list | 18:11 |
| ansii | deadmund i know c, and presently i am learning python, but i dont know where i am heading | 18:12 |
| oldereagle | compdoc, ok. Thanks! | 18:12 |
| mutio | ansii, there are vbbasic workalikes for linux | 18:12 |
| deadmund | ansii: Well that's not a question I can answer. Try reading higher level programming books. and also google is your friend. | 18:12 |
| deadmund | ansii: But you're not asking specific enough questions for me to answer really anymore. I don't know where you're heading either. | 18:13 |
| ansii | deadmund.. as simple it gets.. i want to make a linux applicaiton | 18:13 |
| gordonjcp | ansii: find a project that "scratches an itch" | 18:13 |
| mutio | ansii, console or X? | 18:13 |
| deadmund | ansii: write some python code, run it in linux, it is a linux application | 18:13 |

| delinquentme | is there a way to open the VM's files in nautilus as if they were a local HD? | 18:19 |
| mutio | akSeya, if I want to delete a direct with 1000 files, I do not want to confirm each one | 18:19 |
| sokel | delinquentme: Depends on what you're using. I typically mount the vhd. | 18:19 |
| gordonjcp | delinquentme: depends what format they are in | 18:19 |

| sokel | delinquentme and gordonjcp: That's a virtual box appliance. | 18:21 |
| mutio | akSeya, I guess you'd hate how you can permanently erase your entire harddrive with one command line | 18:21 |
| sokel | I don't think it's possible to mount them, like I would a VHD | 18:21 |
| DJones | akSeya: The delete key doesn't actually delete, it just moves to trash, if you press Shift+Delete, that does delete but asks for a confirmation | 18:21 |
| delinquentme | yeah thats how I loaded them VirtualBox> File > Import Appliance | 18:21 |
| sokel | delinquentme: There's features of virtualbox that allow you to modify files within a VM. Do a bit of research. I personally don't mess with it. | 18:22 |

| hfic | So, I lost the ability to sudo. I resolved that , but when I go to open a gui that needs a sudo I don't have the ability to choose the user to open with. It only lets me choose root. How can I resolve this? :/ | 18:27 |
| MonkeyDust | hfic it's either the logged in user, or sudo | 18:27 |
| hfic | MonkeyDust, I'm logged in as a user with sudo privs. I added my login to a group and forgot the -a. So I loaded a liveCD and added myself back to sudoers. Now I have this issue? | 18:29 |
| === railsraider_ is now known as railsraider | ||
| mutio | hfic, why not just undo everything and then do it right with the "-a"? | 18:31 |
| hfic | mutio, when you add a user to a group and don't use -a it removes the user from the sudoers group. .. So you can't just 'do it right' | 18:32 |

| jilebedev | Hi - can someone point me to an article on how ubuntu synchronizes its system time in a networked environment? | 18:34 |
| jilebedev | How do I force re-synchronization with the Windows master time server? I noticed one of my ubuntu servers is off by a few minutes and that concerns me. | 18:35 |
| mutio | hfic, what if you create another user id for the task, and add it to the sudo'ers group with the "-a", the kill the first user id altogether? | 18:35 |
| === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st | ||
| akSeya | changed permission in ~/.local/share/Trash to 500 . now it will say I have no permission and will ask if I want to permanently remove the files | 18:35 |
| sokel | jilebedev: It has something to do with the ntp service. Look about restarting it, perhaps, assuming the windows master is in the configurations. | 18:35 |
| akSeya | it's better than having delete to automatically move files to trash | 18:35 |
| hfic | mutio, the -a is a command line flag. I'm editing the config .. so the flag doesn't matter | 18:35 |
| jilebedev | sokel: thanks, I'll read up on ntp. | 18:35 |
| akSeya | but I still think it's kind of absurd... | 18:36 |
| hfic | mutio, I think your missing the understanding of -a .. This flag KEEPS you in the group. | 18:36 |
| mutio | hifc, exactly. so do it right with another new userid, and then delete the user id everything has gotten messed up on | 18:37 |
| hilo | hello | 18:38 |
| Troy^ | is there a way to get a status displayed when typing mv to move large files? | 18:38 |
| MonkeyDust | Troy^ use rsync --progress for large files | 18:38 |
| hfic | mutio, your asking me to create a whole new ID ... that's probably a very last option resort. Not a config edit. | 18:38 |
| TheLordOfTime | Troy^: use rsync --progress if you want the "progress" of a move / change | 18:39 |
| Troy^ | instead of mv? or use it on junction with mv? | 18:39 |
| belgianguy | so I installed timidity and got it to play a MIDI file | 18:39 |
| keshavbhatt | Troy get help with mv man | 18:40 |
| belgianguy | now I want to make my own "notes" in Java and hook that output to tilidity | 18:40 |
| belgianguy | impossible? | 18:40 |
| hilo | Troy^ you can also try this instead of the mv or rsync http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=884093 | 18:40 |
| hilo | Troy^ rsync is instead of and will give you the most verbose progress | 18:40 |
| Troy^ | ok thanks | 18:41 |
| MonkeyDust | Troy^ use rsync --progress --remove-source-files for large files | 18:41 |
| keshavbhatt | hilo r sync not used yet but zsync once to sync iso over http | 18:41 |
| hilo | Troy^ You can also use rsync to move between different computers which is nice for backups and whatnot (its intended purpose I think) | 18:42 |

| keshavbhatt | dgrogan me too | 18:43 |

| keshavbhatt | hilo u know about zsync/ | 18:43 |
| mutio | delinquentme, be sure to not startx from root | 18:43 |
| delinquentme | noted ... well so it says startx isnt installed | 18:44 |
| delinquentme | is that normal? | 18:44 |
| delinquentme | mutio, hilo | 18:44 |
| delinquentme | ^^ | 18:44 |
| mutio | delinquentme, that would tend to imply you might not have X installed | 18:44 |
| sokel | Pretty typical, ubuntu changing things that shouldn't be changed. | 18:44 |
| delinquentme | mutio, I mean I'm just trying to see if im running some crazy niche version of 12.04 | 18:45 |
| dgrogan | delinquentme: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 18:46 |
| mutio | delinquentme, are you getting into this virtual machine from like VMware or something/ | 18:46 |
| delinquentme | mutio, yeap VM | 18:46 |
| mutio | delinquentme, then there's always the possibility it couldn't install X because the installer was prevented from detecting your hardware | 18:48 |
| FACEFACEFACE | I'm installing Ubuntu to a MacBook pro and got to the install screen. I got to the advanced options thing but I don't know how to partition off a swap and hardware partition. | 18:48 |
| FACEFACEFACE | *errr, harddrive partition. not hardware | 18:48 |
| gmagno | hello, I can't play sound with my laptop speaker, how to configure it? | 18:49 |
| MonkeyDust | FACEFACEFACE what do you mean, "partition off a swap and a harddrive partition"? | 18:50 |
| gmagno | is there any procedure I can do to be sure that the speaker works and plays sound? | 18:50 |
| MonkeyDust | gmagno start with alsamixer in a terminal | 18:50 |
| BBX | Hi | 18:51 |
| ska | Can I remove accounsservice and dbus from a server system? | 18:51 |
| FACEFACEFACE | monkeydust: Well I have a hard drive, and I need to partition off swap space on disk and space for actual usage, right? | 18:51 |
| Jordan_U | FACEFACEFACE: Why are you using the "advanced options"? | 18:51 |
| hilo | FACEFACEFACE: just make a partition for sway about the size of your RAM, and make the rest of the disk ext4 as the root | 18:52 |
| MonkeyDust | FACEFACEFACE by "partition off", you mean create? | 18:52 |
| mutio | ska, dbus might be a good oneto keep | 18:52 |
| hilo | swap* | 18:52 |
| ska | mutio: why? | 18:52 |
| FACEFACEFACE | I'm using advanced because I can't do this automatically on Mac. At least, thats what documentation led me to believe. | 18:52 |
| gmagno | MonkeyDust, have done it | 18:52 |
| Jordan_U | FACEFACEFACE: The documentation is probably wrong. Which documentation are you referring to> | 18:53 |
| Jordan_U | ? | 18:53 |
| gmagno | MonkeyDust, speaker bar was already high. Beep bar wasn't Ive put it high | 18:53 |
| mutio | ska, offhand I vaguely remember it has some important system functions related to the hardware | 18:53 |
| gmagno | is there any command in the terminal to make a sound? | 18:53 |
| FACEFACEFACE | Mactel Support Wiki | 18:53 |
| Jordan_U | FACEFACEFACE: There are many of those. Please link to the specific page. | 18:54 |
| MonkeyDust | gmagno play /usr/share/sounds/alsa/* | 18:54 |
| dj_ryan | so, latest precise gnome-settings-daemon is now renamed sir-crash-a-lot | 18:54 |
| ska | gmagno: beep | 18:54 |
| FACEFACEFACE | jordan_u: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation | 18:54 |
| wan26 | dj_ryan, add the oneconf service to that | 18:55 |
| dj_ryan | wan26: amen | 18:55 |
| sokel | FACEFACEFACE: According to that you can probably just say 'use free remaining space'. Like honestly. | 18:55 |
| thedangler | so I installed ubuntu on my shitty hp and did some upgrades and now combiz doesn't work. Only thing that loads is the background image. Anything I can do? | 18:56 |
| FACEFACEFACE | Jordan_U: Not sure I understand. Where in the installer is that? | 18:56 |
| sokel | thedangler: What kind upgrades? | 18:56 |
| Jordan_U | FACEFACEFACE: Indeed, that guide repeats the common myth that the proper place to install grub's boot sector is to a partition. That is wrong. Unfortunately I need to go now, sorry. | 18:57 |
| FACEFACEFACE | Oh no! How do install, then? | 18:57 |
| dj_ryan | seriously though, latest update of precise has made gnome-settings-daemon crashtastic | 18:58 |
| MonkeyDust | dj_ryan no rants here, please | 18:58 |
| Jordan_U | FACEFACEFACE: Following those directions will work, it's just less than ideal and prone to breaking (grub no longer able to boot). | 18:58 |
| FACEFACEFACE | How can I make it work, then? | 18:59 |
| gmagno | MonkeyDust, ska, play works. But "beep -f 1000 -l 4" does no sound (not sure it works like that though). Btw, I asking about speaker sounds because I installed centerim5 and I would like to hear some notification sounds everytime someone talks to me. Although I've enabled that feature, I can't here any sound... | 18:59 |
| sokel | FACEFACEFACE: Read the tutorial, for the last time. | 18:59 |
| thedangler | sokel I dunno i installed and it wanted to do upgrades, so I ran them. | 19:00 |
| gmagno | mates in #centerim does not help much either, they 25 people there.... :-/ | 19:00 |
| sokel | thedangler: You mean updates. Could be a kernel problem. | 19:00 |
| sokel | thedangler: Boot a previous kernel. | 19:00 |
| thedangler | sokel: I did the windows easy install, cuz I was lazy | 19:01 |
| MonkeyDust | thedangler wubi? | 19:01 |
| thedangler | yeah | 19:02 |
| MonkeyDust | thedangler wubi is a pseudo-instalation inside windows | 19:04 |
| delinquentme | dgrogan, after installing ubuntu-desktop ... I've run " sudo ubuntu-desktop" and im getting "command not found" .. mind you this is after installing it | 19:05 |
| hwilde_ | help my sound is stuttering 11.04 http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=d305cc96e83735bd7b448165d147189dcb72b971 | 19:05 |
| delinquentme | maybe its not in the PATH? | 19:05 |
| dgrogan | delinquentme: after installing it just run startx | 19:06 |
| MonkeyDust | delinquentme ubuntu-desktop is a meta-package, it's not a command | 19:06 |
| sokel | thedangler: You did 'upgrades'. Reboot your system and select a kernel to boot. It's pretty simple. | 19:06 |
| delinquentme | oooo! things are happening!!! | 19:06 |
| delinquentme | Ok awesome! Nowww what was this shared folder thing about | 19:07 |

| BlackBishop | why not ? | 19:10 |
| baizon | fixing? | 19:10 |

| BlackBishop | or just changes.. | 19:11 |
| user_ | hm | 19:11 |
| hilo | Alpha-Omega: kernel development does not alway coincide with Ubuntu releases | 19:12 |
| Alpha-Omega | it's just that ubuntu isn't rolling release, that's why I'm wondering why we're getting a new kernel if there's no new ubuntu release | 19:12 |

| hilo | Alpha-Omega: they are separate projects. Ubuntu makes use of the linux kernal | 19:12 |

| sokel | Which is why everything breaks so easily. | 19:12 |
| sokel | Can never have a stable revision. | 19:12 |
| Alpha-Omega | hilo: yeah, but the kernel is modified by ubuntu no? | 19:12 |
| sokel | Yes. And that's the problem. :) | 19:13 |
| hilo | Alpha-Omega yes, they try to stay up to date | 19:13 |
| hilo | Alpha-Omega Linux project releases new kernels, Ubuntu integrates it into their OS in an upgrade | 19:13 |
| ThinkT510 | Alpha-Omega: if you are using the default repos then the kernel wouldn't be updated to a major new version | 19:13 |
| JoaoSantana | Talking about kernels, can someone point to a kernel build HOWTO to Ubuntu? | 19:13 |
| sokel | I prefer CentOS/RHEL kernels, personally. I have yet to run into a broken one, whether it's stock or from elrepo. | 19:13 |
| ThinkT510 | !compile | JoaoSantana | 19:14 |

| ubottu | JoaoSantana: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) | 19:14 |
| sokel | BlackBishop: If you're going to compile your own kernel, go ahead. But if there's vulnerabilities that can destroy your system, you're at fault. | 19:14 |
| hilo | The different distros have different uses and strengths | 19:14 |
| Alpha-Omega | hilo: the only issue is that I'm on 3.2 right now and the latest is 3.5.3, something tells me that when I do a dist-upgrade, I won't be on 3.5.3, so why even randomly update the kernel | 19:15 |
| maze | hey everyone | 19:15 |
| BlackBishop | sokel: like you're gonna hold ubuntu responsible for something if it breaks on your system ! | 19:15 |

| JoaoSantana | ThinkT510, thanks | 19:15 |
| sokel | BlackBishop: I don't, because I'm using an enterprise kernel. | 19:15 |
| maze | total noob here, was wondering which book to read first to teach me the basics, sysadmin, rutebook, or abs? | 19:15 |
| JoaoSantana | !Stages | 19:15 |
| ubottu | The Ubuntu Kernel gets updated in stages. If you have the updated kernel, but do not have the corresponding restricted modules, you may be leaving yourself with no X when you reboot. If you have compiled binary versions of your video driver, eg from the nVidia site, you will need to recompile them for the new kernel. This is normal, and not a bug. | 19:15 |
| BlackBishop | or for private use or the company ? | 19:15 |
| BlackBishop | I guess you're paying for that enterprise support .. | 19:16 |
| sokel | BlackBishop: I'm using a kernel that is based for Enterprise Level os's, that's RHEL/CentOS. Because at least that way, their releases don't cause my system to not boot up or modules not to load right or other various issues. | 19:16 |
| maze | someone? :P | 19:16 |
| sokel | BlackBishop: No, I don't. | 19:16 |
| sokel | BlackBishop: All free. It's obtainable from all the distros. | 19:17 |
| ThinkT510 | Alpha-Omega: it isn't random updates, its mostly bug fixes and sometimes a few features (like newer drivers) | 19:17 |
| BlackBishop | well, still. enterprise or not, you will be responsible for updating it and the problem it causes even if a bug slips in .. | 19:17 |
| BlackBishop | :) | 19:17 |
| Alpha-Omega | yep, the new kernel release is 3.2.0-30 and I'm on 3.2.0-29, so it seems like a bugfix | 19:17 |
| sokel | BlackBishop: I've been using enterprise kernels for years. Never have issues. | 19:17 |
| BlackBishop | may it be gentoo or debian or anything else, you're liable for it unless you're paying and someone else is liable for those mistakes. | 19:18 |
| Alpha-Omega | doesn't the kernel get fragmented as hell damn | 19:18 |
| BlackBishop | I've been using my kernel for years ( with updates from time to time ), no problem ! :) | 19:18 |
| BlackBishop | no biggie to run 2 - 3 commands each time .. | 19:18 |
| === axl__ is now known as axl_ | ||
| BlackBishop | you're just as liable as I am for security problems. | 19:18 |
| Alpha-Omega | 217 MB of additional space will be used, what kind of kernel update is this lol | 19:18 |
| sokel | BlackBishop: It's a wonder why so many people after a kernel upgrade on these new distros have problems. Obviously the devs are stupid :) | 19:18 |
| hilo | Alpha-Omega: it isn't random, there is a pipeline | 19:19 |
| BlackBishop | obviously :) | 19:19 |
| BlackBishop | never ran into any problems on any distro so far .. may it be sles/fedora/debian/ubuntu/gentoo/bsd ( yes, I do actually use most of them on different servers/desktops ) | 19:19 |
| Alpha-Omega | 6 upgraded, 3 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 51.2 MB of archives. After this operation, 217 MB of additional disk space will be used. | 19:19 |
| Alpha-Omega | BlackBishop: Arch f**ked me over and that's when I switched over to Ubuntu | 19:20 |
| centrelink | Alpha-Omega: you f**ked yourself over by not reading the documentation | 19:20 |
| Alpha-Omega | centrelink: nope | 19:20 |
| gordonjcp | heh | 19:21 |
| ThinkT510 | centrelink +1 | 19:21 |
| gordonjcp | Arch just began annoying me | 19:21 |
| gordonjcp | so I switched back to Ubuntu | 19:21 |
| ozette | How can I get permission to create dirs on a remote server, I'm trying to bring over files but I get denied. | 19:21 |
| ozette | Ive tried filezilla, now just doing sftp command | 19:21 |
| gordonjcp | ozette: you need to ensure that the user you're logging into on the remote server has permission to write the files | 19:21 |
| Alpha-Omega | centrelink: that day I didn't update or anything, I click on an icon to change theme and boom X crashes, I try changing DE, nothing, all this from changing my icon theme in KDE | 19:21 |
| ozette | gordonjcp, it's my own user, the admin. How can I get sudo rights? | 19:22 |
| gordonjcp | Arch is a great distro for people who want to fiddle about with tiny details, but for experienced users it's not much good | 19:22 |
| gordonjcp | ozette: What exactly are you trying to do? | 19:22 |
| Alpha-Omega | gordonjcp: Arch with it's AUR, annoying as hell, the package manager is quick and somewhat powerful, but the management sucks | 19:22 |
| guntbert | !ot | 19:23 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 19:23 |
| BlackBishop | Alpha-Omega: what centrelink said. | 19:23 |
| ozette | goronjcp, I sftp'd into my server, It's running a website. I want to bring over files to the www folder, but it is heavily protected | 19:23 |
| gordonjcp | Alpha-Omega: AUR is really good, I love the package management | 19:23 |
| Antzzz | Does anyone here have an IMEI calculator to create me an unlock code for my LG-P930 ? | 19:23 |
| ozette | gordonjcp, I want to update some files | 19:23 |
| Alpha-Omega | BlackBishop: changing the icon theme, I need to read the documentation for that? lol | 19:23 |
| gordonjcp | Alpha-Omega: I just don't have the time or inclination to fiddle about with pointless crap | 19:23 |
| centrelink | aur is leaps and bounds ahead of googling for a ppa or whatever on ubuntu | 19:23 |
| gordonjcp | ozette: okay, where are they? | 19:23 |
| BlackBishop | you need to read docs for everything dude | 19:23 |
| gordonjcp | BlackBishop: ... and that's why I no longer use Arch ;-) | 19:24 |
| ozette | gordonjcp, Local they're in my home folder, but I want to bring them over to my remote's www folder | 19:24 |
| Alpha-Omega | BlackBishop: ehh screw that, I want to actually use the computer, not have it as a hobby | 19:24 |
| gordonjcp | BlackBishop: I'm not interested in trawling through pages and pages and pages of badly-written rubbish in a foreign language | 19:24 |
| ozette | gordonjcp, But I don't know how to gain permission, I've tried so many ways to get files into that folder .. | 19:24 |
| Kishi | Recently, I've performed a dist-upgrade. In some magical way it managed to screw up the X server, and everytime I'm booting up, I'm pushed into console instead. | 19:24 |
| delinquentme | the best way to share files between a local system is with ubuntu1? | 19:24 |
| gordonjcp | ozette: right, so you're deploying to (say) /var/www ? | 19:25 |
| delinquentme | That sounds messed? | 19:25 |
| ozette | gordonjcp, yes | 19:25 |
| Alpha-Omega | so is there any reason this kernel update used 217MB of additional space on my HD, curious | 19:25 |
| Kishi | I don't even know where to look for the cause. | 19:25 |
| gordonjcp | ozette: tbh the quickest and easiest way would be to scp them across to your homedir on the remote, then ssh in, sudo cp ~/myfiles/* /var/www | 19:25 |
| gordonjcp | ozette: look into proper web deployment stuff like fabric, if you're doing this a lot | 19:25 |
| DogLover | How come Win7 doesn't recognize Ubuntu 11.04 computer on my wireless network? | 19:26 |
| ozette | gordonjcp, I see | 19:26 |
| ThinkT510 | Alpha-Omega: you sure its just the kernel being updated? | 19:26 |
| gordonjcp | ozette: you can also fiddle about with setting group permissions on /var/www but that gets a bit scary | 19:26 |
| BlackBishop | gordonjcp: your problem then ! you sleep as good as your bed is done ! ( YOU chose your distro ! ) | 19:26 |
| ozette | gordonjcp, Isnt there a way to do it directly? Is it so heavily protected? | 19:26 |
| hilo | Alpha-Omega: there are a lot of packages that get updated when you update a kernel version | 19:26 |
| gordonjcp | BlackBishop: exactly. I *like* Arch, I just can't live with it as a daily driver | 19:26 |
| Lesterwood | guys, i'm in college (20) and want alcohol, but the drinking age is 21, how do i get alcohol? | 19:26 |
| gordonjcp | ozette: you could do something like add yourself to the www-data group and set the directory group writeable, but this may have security issues | 19:26 |
| centrelink | Lesterwood: install gentoo | 19:27 |
| gordonjcp | Lesterwood: #ubuntu-offtopic, and live in a sane country | 19:27 |
| BlackBishop | you need more practice ! ;) | 19:27 |
| Alpha-Omega | ThinkT510: that and glib-networking glib-networking-common glib-networking-services | 19:27 |
| hilo | DogLover: what do you mean, 'recognize'? What exactly are you trying to do? | 19:27 |
| ozette | gordonjcp, Yes I've thought of that, and thought it would make an unwanted risk | 19:27 |
| gordonjcp | ozette: well there you go | 19:28 |
| DogLover | The ubuntu PC doesn't show up on the list of PC's on my network on my Win7 PC. I am wanting to share a folder from Ubuntu desktop | 19:28 |
| gordonjcp | ozette: you could do something clever with git ;-) | 19:28 |
| Kishi | So... any clues what could have happened to the X server? | 19:28 |
| Alpha-Omega | hilo: yeah but if each minor bugfix release added 217MB of additional HD Space, the Linux kernel would be like 10 TB by now | 19:28 |
| ozette | gordonjcp, ok but what is "fabric"? | 19:28 |
| DogLover | Is there a 'Make Discoverable' option in Ubuntu? | 19:28 |
| BlackBishop | Alpha-Omega: old ones get deleted .. | 19:28 |
| hilo | Alpha-Omega: not all releases do, some actually free space as the packages that support that version fluctuate in size | 19:28 |
| ThinkT510 | !samba | DogLover | 19:29 |
| ubottu | DogLover: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 19:29 |
| Alpha-Omega | BlackBishop: I kind of forgot about that, you're right | 19:29 |
| gordonjcp | ozette: http://docs.fabfile.org/en/1.4.3/index.html | 19:29 |
| ThinkT510 | BlackBishop: actually, you'd need to delete them through the package manager yourself | 19:29 |

| FlowRiser | Kishi, it happened to me too | 19:34 |
| Kishi | And I get a console session instead | 19:34 |
| ThinkT510 | Kishi: probably because of the graphics driver | 19:34 |
| FlowRiser | Kishi, it is the graphics driver; i could only fix it by reinstalling ubuntu | 19:35 |
| Kishi | Might be. I've had MUCH issues with the NVIDIA driver I've got | 19:35 |
| Kishi | Actually, I couldn't even install it properly | 19:35 |
| FlowRiser | Kishi, it happened the same to me too; i tried installing the drivers, but the only one which works is the original one that ubuntu comes with O.o | 19:36 |
| Kishi | Well, I've got 2 cards on my comp | 19:36 |
| Kishi | One built-in which sucks, and an NVIDIA one | 19:36 |
| Kishi | I got a lot of trouble installing the driver on Kubuntu | 19:36 |
| FlowRiser | Kishi, what built-in card do you have, ATI ? | 19:36 |
| hilo | Kishi: what version did you upgrade to | 19:36 |
| Kishi | I don't know, really. | 19:36 |
| FlowRiser | Kishi, if it's ATI than it might be a bug O.o | 19:37 |

| Kishi | Even though I've run their nvidia-xconfig script | 19:38 |

| lickalott | does this look right? http://paste2.org/p/2194616 | 19:38 |

| lickalott | all of those paths are in my exports file | 19:53 |
| guntbert | lickalott: you only use uuids for local drives, do you really have a nfs server? | 19:54 |
| yeats | Zepo: you're trying to get back to regular ubuntu, no? | 19:54 |
| jiffe98 | anyone know a simple way for me to test unicode through ssh? | 19:54 |
| Kishi | BluesKaj: Basically, none at this time. I have 2 cards, one old and weak, and a new NVIDIA card. I was trying to install drivers for the NVIDIA card, and I did, only to see that for some reason they can't associate themselves with the X server | 19:54 |
| lickalott | they are all local drives guntbert | 19:54 |
| Zepo | yeats I only want to remove KDE | 19:54 |
| makezan | ssta wan26 my keys have a password too. does that matter? | 19:54 |
| guntbert | lickalott: its not useful to mount local drives via nfs | 19:54 |
| hilo | lickalott: you shouldn't use exports or nfs. | 19:54 |
| yeats | Zepo: how did you install KDE? | 19:54 |
| Zepo | sudo apt-get install kde-standarts | 19:54 |
| Zepo | standards* | 19:54 |
| Zepo | or omething* | 19:54 |
| lickalott | OHHHHHH...... you're talking about the nfs for type | 19:54 |
| hilo | lickalott: mount them by uuid and use their actual filesystem type to mount and NOT NFS | 19:54 |
| louiemat | I t is esci-interpreter-gt-f720_0.0-1_amd64.deb- how woyld you enter this | 19:54 |
| ssta | makezan: no, that's fine...but you have to do it *before* you lock out password auth...otherwise it can't copy the ID | 19:55 |
| wan26 | makezan, no it doesnt matter the more layers of protection you can deploy, the better | 19:55 |
| Kishi | BluesKaj: The nvidia-xconfig script I was instructed to run has changed the xorg.conf file, to use the NVIDIA card instead of the old one. But since It didn't work, my OS simply didn't use any card at all | 19:55 |
| delinquentme | " Could not change the permissions of folder bety " .. is what im getting .. when doing the right click > sharing options > share this folder method | 19:55 |
| gyre007 | if im setting up sudoers giving nopasswd access to 2 commands, does there have to be a comma between them or jus space ? ie NOPASSWD: cmd1 cmd2 ? | 19:56 |
| yeats | Zepo: I'm not sure then - you could try the command listed on the site, though some of those packages may not be installed | 19:56 |
| BluesKaj | kishi so you installed nvidia-current driver ? | 19:56 |
| hilo | delinquentme: press alt-F2 and type in "gksudo nautilus" Then try using that specific window (it is running as root) | 19:56 |
| makezan | wan26 ssta and just wondering, when i say AllowUsers UserA, does that mean user on the client has to be UserA, or when i'm connecting I specify UserA@IP:PORT | 19:56 |
| hariom | I am logged into a non sudoer user. I am trying to open a file using gedit. I get this error: (gedit:28230): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0 | 19:57 |
| Kishi | BluesKaj: I've downloaded the driver from their website, it did match my model, I did follow their instructions, and yet something failed. | 19:57 |
| louiemat | gordenjcp - did you see my reply? | 19:57 |
| lickalott | k, no errors that time hilo | 19:57 |
| ssta | gyre007: comma | 19:58 |
| Kishi | BluesKaj: Well, maybe if I run the installation script again, I will at least get the X server back | 19:58 |
| Kishi | BluesKaj: I doubt it will be that simple though. | 19:58 |
| PRabyte | id like to join an ubuntu cloud, is there a program i load, or do i need to install a cloud capable desktop? also, what are the other promoted options like - non enterprise, just to test here with a few computers. | 19:58 |
| pirx | ah, resolved! found my problem! while fixing the vlan stuff i had removed the "dns-nameserver" lines in /etc/network/interfaces | 19:58 |
| atrius | i'm about to give up on ubuntu on this server | 19:58 |
| hilo | lickalott: win. | 19:58 |
| lickalott | true! thanks!! | 19:58 |
| BluesKaj | Kishi, did you reboot immediately after installing the nvidia driver , becuase if X is running when you install it , the driver won't enable until you do | 19:58 |
| atrius | seems that i have to reboot it at least twice to get it to come up.. as opposed to just dropping to a blank black screen and sitting there | 19:59 |
| makezan | ssh-copy-id -p PORT USER@IP | 19:59 |
| makezan | Bad port 'umask 077; test -d ~/.ssh || mkdir ~/.ssh ; cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys' | 19:59 |
| Kishi | BluesKaj: I did reboot my system while still in console mode. I've ran nvidia-xconfig on X server though, but I doubt it matters. | 20:00 |
| PRabyte | at first glance there seems to be a lot of diff programs related to cloud and how to use it an such | 20:00 |
| BluesKaj | Kishi, ok , sudo apt-get install nvidia-current ,in the terminal , then reboot | 20:00 |
| guntbert | makezan: did you actually type PORT? | 20:00 |
| PRabyte | juju for example. | 20:00 |
| makezan | lol no i'm hidding port and user ID just for sake of it. guntbert | 20:01 |
| Kishi | BluesKaj: K. Since I'm on Windows now, and I'm not using any VMs, I'll have to reboot now, so I'll be back in a few minutes | 20:01 |
| makezan | anything in Capital letters has a value. guntbert | 20:01 |
| isbric | how to redirect output from time? ie time ls 2>&1 > out | 20:01 |
| BluesKaj | Kishi, don't worry about xconfig for now , it should auto generate | 20:02 |
| shade34321 | how would I go about adding NIS users while installing ubuntu, during installation instead of providing a user I just supply the NIS info | 20:02 |
| brok | I'm trying to set up an FTP server in ubuntu. All signs keep pointing towards vsftpd. I'm trying to edit the config file but it won't let me- I'm guessing it wants root password, which I have, but no prompt comes up. What do I do? ALternately, is there a gui-based FTP server like Filezilla I can use? | 20:02 |
| louiemat | Kishi - I had to rebuild my install aster nvidia problems - I read some ware that nvidia is aware of the problems with Ubuntu | 20:03 |
| hariom | I am logged into a non sudoer user. I am trying to open a file using gedit. I get this error: (gedit:28230): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0 | 20:03 |
| guntbert | makezan: according to man ssh-copy-id there is no option -p | 20:03 |
| makezan | so I figured that the problem was I was supposed to type it this way. ssh-copy-id '-p PORT USER@ID' but I get Permission denied (publickey). | 20:03 |
| hariom | How to fix it and allow to open gedit | 20:04 |
| Zepo | How do I change the login screen in U12.04 | 20:04 |
| MonkeyDust | Zepo change in what way? | 20:04 |

| carter_ | can anyone help me i downloaded minecraft and now i am getting a error message | 20:04 |
| guntbert | hariom: do all other applications work? | 20:04 |
| zykotick9 | hariom: are you logged in through ssh? | 20:04 |
| Oranger | carter_: #minecraft | 20:04 |
| carter_ | thats a channel? | 20:05 |
| Oranger | no, that's a cat ! | 20:05 |
| hariom | guntbert, zykotick9: Not ssh. Its on my local system | 20:05 |
| carter_ | well im new at linux and so far the people helping at it r jerks | 20:05 |
| dr_willis | # designates an irc channel | 20:05 |
| guntbert | makezan: so you found it? all well? | 20:05 |
| zykotick9 | hariom: do other gui apps work? Are you sure you aren't sshed? | 20:06 |
| Oranger | carter_: Ok, but minecraft is diferent than linux ;) | 20:06 |
| dr_willis | Minecraftbuntu | 20:06 |
| Oranger | carter_: They will more be able to help you there : #minecraft | 20:06 |
| carter_ | so why do you have a channel for it? obviously its important | 20:06 |
| BluesKaj | carter_,which linux , and which jerks ? | 20:06 |
| hariom | guntbert, zykotick9: I am on a local sysetm (NOT ON SSH). I have created a user which is not in sudoer list. If I use gedit for opening a file, I get that error. I have GUI as I have installed xdm xorg and gnome-core installed. | 20:07 |
| Oranger | ouf, he left.. | 20:07 |
| MonkeyDust | so it goes Oranger | 20:07 |
| BluesKaj | don't need hisa"attitude " anyway | 20:08 |
| hariom | guntbert, zykotick9: Other apps like network configuraiton/ proxy setting etc works well | 20:08 |
| Kishi | BluesKaj: I've had nvidia-current installed allready | 20:08 |

| hariom | How to fix this error: (gedit:28230): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0 | 20:08 |
| Kishi | Kishi: And it worked. | 20:08 |
| BluesKaj | what script , Kishi ? do you mean the command ? | 20:09 |
| Kishi | BluesKaj: The nvidia driver installation script I've downloaded from their website earlier | 20:09 |
| EricJ | A newbie question if there ever was one: my user is not the owner of a directory, but member of the group that owns it. Permissions on the folder is 775. Why can't I create files in that folder? | 20:09 |
| guntbert | hariom: how did you invoke gedit - from command line? | 20:09 |
| EricJ | (I obviously want only members of that group to have write permissions) | 20:10 |
| hariom | guntbert: yea | 20:10 |
| guntbert | EricJ: did you log out/in after adding the user to that group? | 20:10 |
| EricJ | guntbert: yes. | 20:10 |
| BluesKaj | Kishi, so you have X running and you're logged into the desktop on ubuntu? | 20:10 |
| Kishi | BluesKaj: It appears so. | 20:10 |
| === cesar is now known as Guest47699 | ||
| Kishi | BluesKaj: And I don't know how the hell it happened | 20:11 |
| BluesKaj | ok Kishi , good | 20:11 |
| Kishi | BluesKaj: But the drivers appear to be finally synced with the X server! | 20:11 |
| BluesKaj | rebooting helps the dust settle sometimes , Kishi :) | 20:11 |
| Kishi | BluesKaj: I'd say it was reinstalling :D | 20:12 |
| guntbert | hariom: I am fishing around: does it work for other users? | 20:12 |
| Kishi | BluesKaj: I suspect that dist-upgrade had some update for X server or whatever, and I had to reinstall drivers after that | 20:12 |
| Kishi | BluesKaj: And now everything works like a charm. | 20:13 |
| BlackBishop | intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset 6 port SATA AHCI Controller, is this sata 1 or sata 2 ? :| | 20:13 |
| Kishi | Well, thanks. | 20:14 |
| BlackBishop | any ideas anybody ? | 20:14 |
| hariom | guntbert: I worked. I tried: xhost + | 20:14 |
| Kishi | See you 'round, guys. | 20:14 |
| isbric | how to redirect output from time? ie time ls 2>&1 > out | 20:14 |
| guntbert | EricJ: please pastebin the output of id; ls -l /var/www/ubuntu-auto.cfg | 20:14 |
| BluesKaj | well , Kishi, frankly I haven't much luck with the nvidia-drivers from their website ...prefer the drivers that are tried and tested for ubuntu ...I hope it sticks and works well for you | 20:14 |
| coleman | help installing nvidia card? | 20:14 |
| brok | Urk, I apparently disconnected. | 20:14 |
| brok | Anyway, anyone have any thoughts regarding FTP hosting? | 20:15 |
| guntbert | hariom: xhost + is very insecure ™ and should not be necessary | 20:15 |
| wan26 | Same here, compiling the proprietary nvidia drivers gave me more issues, the ubuntu default works fine | 20:15 |
| jcromartie | what does it mean when I see files in my filesystem that are executable, but the shell complains with "No such file or directory" when I try to execute them? | 20:15 |
| jcromartie | the files show up as dark gray in ls | 20:16 |
| wan26 | did you type it like ./progname? | 20:16 |
| makezan | guntbert i still get Permission denied (publickey). | 20:16 |
| makezan | I wonder what the issue is | 20:16 |
| zykotick9 | jcromartie: just a guess, but you have a 64bit OS trying a 32bit executable | 20:16 |
| guntbert | jcromartie: you must give the path to that file, in the current directory it be like ./somefile | 20:16 |
| jcromartie | I know how to run programs. | 20:16 |
| jcromartie | zykotick9: I think you're on to something | 20:16 |
| guntbert | makezan: did you set the sshd to acccept public key auth? | 20:17 |
| jcromartie | zykotick9: in fact, it's a JRE bundled with a server product | 20:17 |
| jcromartie | zykotick9: file yields "jre/bin/java: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, not stripped" | 20:17 |

| designbybeck | anyone else notice that Amazon updated their player for videos again and it broke it for Linux....again.... | 20:18 |
| designbybeck | Anyone know a workaround? | 20:18 |
| zykotick9 | jcromartie: sorry man, i have NO idea how 32/64bit works in ubuntu with multiarch. (in old versions i could help, not now) | 20:19 |
| guntbert | makezan: yes, correct - next step ssh into the system normally and check the permissions and contents of .ssh/authorized_keys | 20:19 |
| jcromartie | zykotick9: dang… now I wish the problem was just me not knowing how to execute a program :P | 20:19 |

| makezan | guntbert it was a security of 740 is that too restricted? | 20:20 |
| guntbert | makezan: no, too open, it needs 700 if I remember correctly | 20:21 |
| wan26 | i know it's probably not this simple, but 'java [prog]' | 20:21 |
| guntbert | makezan: not the id file! | 20:21 |
| makezan | guntbert the folder? | 20:22 |
| guntbert | makezan: no the file authorized_keys | 20:23 |
| guntbert | makezan: actually it needs 400 | 20:23 |
| MonkeyDust | makezan type ls ~/.ssh/ | 20:24 |
| guntbert | MonkeyDust: he needs ls -l :) | 20:24 |
| makezan | http://pastie.org/4670071 guntbert MonkeyDust | 20:25 |
| guntbert | makezan: is that on the remoote machine? then its fine, check the contents of that file | 20:26 |
| okay | "Moreover, although the Ubuntu OS is free and open source software, Ubuntu Cola should not be confused with "open source" colas such as OpenCola." | 20:26 |
| makezan | hey I'm also missing a logic. And bare with me if this sounds stupid, but if on the client, you can just ssh-copy-id that means anyone can just copy their id to your server and allow themselves to ssh into it. what's the flaw in that logic? | 20:26 |
| dr_willis | makezan: if they have a user account... | 20:27 |
| guntbert | makezan: you need to be able to log in to that account in the first place | 20:27 |
| kurtwp_ | makezan: you first need to get into the server to copy the rsa_id keys over | 20:27 |
| dr_willis | you still login the first time | 20:27 |
| StephenM|2 | hi there... Would anyone be kind enough to help with a networking issue?? | 20:28 |
| makezan | kurtwp_ guntbert dr_willis i'm not at machine I was connected through vnc and lost the connection due to a copy paste bug remmina has. but I will switch the config to allow passwords first, then try to copy ssh id, then disable passwords, then try to ssh. | 20:29 |
| zorgborg | hi guys, ./configure doesn't work in the (extracted tar) gimp directory, any ideas why would this be? | 20:30 |

| micom | hi, i have installed ubuntu last days, my roommates are complaining on lags, every 20 seconds ping increase for a second and get normal, when i turn off computer problem dissapeare | 20:30 |
| BarkingFish | zorgborg, could you post up the results of ls -alh on that directory, please - stick them on the pastebin :) | 20:31 |
| martin_ | hey guys, I have this problem that's driving me insane. Every third or so mouse click registers as a double click. this makes windows maximise when I intend to move them, among other things. | 20:31 |
| zorgborg | penguinman: theres: bash: ./configure: Permission denied | 20:31 |
| BarkingFish | micom - are you using a shared internet connection? | 20:31 |
| martin_ | I'm running ubuntu 12.04 with all the latest updates | 20:32 |
| zorgborg | then sudo ./configure says command not found | 20:32 |
| micom | BarkingFish: yes | 20:32 |
| penguinman | ok, so it doesn't have a configure script then | 20:32 |
| micom | BarkingFish: one network connection for 3 computers | 20:32 |
| BarkingFish | ok - how are you all connecting, micom? wireless or cable? | 20:32 |
| micom | BarkingFish: cables | 20:33 |
| zorgborg | BarkingFish: you mean with -d for just the directory or for its contents? | 20:33 |
| micom | there was no problem with win7 BarkingFish | 20:33 |
| kurtwp_ | micom: check for dup IP | 20:33 |
| micom | its looks like undefined app generete a lot of network traffic every 20 sec | 20:33 |
| penguinman | zorgborg, try this "ls | grep configure" and see if any results pop up | 20:33 |
| BarkingFish | zorgborg, just the whole directory, cd into it, zorgborg - and type ls -alh then copy the output to paste.ubuntu.com | 20:33 |
| micom | kurtwp_: its only 3 comp there is no conf | 20:33 |
| guntbert | makezan: thats a sound plan - Good luck! | 20:34 |

| makezan | which brings me to my second question. Anyone knows how to have vino-server start before I can login into machine. Right now the way it works is, when i'm sshed into my machine and I reboot through ssh. the vnc server will not start. until I am physically there to login. vnc4server kept giving me this grey screen with check boxes. any other utility you guys recommend? | 20:36 |
| thiebaude | im trying to play rhythmbox, after a few minutes it say :Python (v2.7) requires to install plugins to play media files of the following type: text/html decoder | 20:37 |

| thiebaude | required plugin could not be found | 20:37 |
| micom | every 20 sec? kurtwp_ | 20:37 |
| Mir09 | hi all | 20:37 |
| zorgborg | penguinman: cheers its working now :) is that likely because I'd dwnloaded n extracted on another comp and transferred it to this one via usb? | 20:37 |
| micom | ifconfig | 20:38 |
| micom | ups | 20:38 |
| thiebaude | it searches for the plugin, but can't find it, wonder if anyone could help, thanks | 20:38 |
| wan26 | yeah that's happened to me zorg | 20:38 |
| penguinman | zorgborg, yeah, configure wasn't marked as executible was the issue | 20:38 |
| StephenM|2 | kurtwp micom I get the same thing happening here to. It seems to be a fairly recent occurance. | 20:38 |
| kurtwp_ | micom: you can download wireshark and see what is taking up all the bandwidth | 20:38 |
| micom | kurtwp_: i will, i see it on "system monitor" graph | 20:38 |
| micom | there is like ________^_______^________^ | 20:39 |

| zorgborg | penguinman: cheers ill take note of that :) | 20:39 |
| wan26 | thiebaude, i think you need gstreamer plugins | 20:39 |
| micom | StephenM|2: have you find a solution? | 20:39 |
| micom | found | 20:39 |
| thiebaude | wan26, software center says they are installed already | 20:39 |

| marko-_- | thiebaude, to be honest there are quiet a lot of applications like rhythmbox | 20:40 |
| marko-_- | the closest one would be banshee | 20:40 |
| marko-_- | even the gui is similiar | 20:40 |
| thiebaude | marko-_-, yea i could try that | 20:41 |
| wan26 | depends, i just use vlc from videolan | 20:41 |
| micom | sth is uplouding data into net from my ubuntu! i need investigation | 20:41 |
| Mir09 | thiebaude, amarok | 20:41 |

| marko-_- | ohhh amarok WAS awesome | 20:41 |
| marko-_- | but kde are gui nazis so yeah :p | 20:41 |
| wan26 | it probably does as i dont use playlists ect lol | 20:41 |

| Tellmarch | marko-_-, i don't know, but there is a bug in 12.04 where when the screen turns off, the GPU/CPU actually go to 100% usage | 20:51 |
| Tellmarch | it might be related | 20:51 |
| designbybeck | BluesKaj: Any video on Prime Videos on Amazon | 20:51 |
| designbybeck | so I guess you'd have to have an account | 20:51 |
| kurtwp_ | micom: in the GUI I just right mouse click on the dropbox icon and select prefernece and un check enable lan sync | 20:51 |
| Tellmarch | marko-_-, so i'd start by checking if it's the case on your computer | 20:51 |
| designbybeck | penguinman: videos were working | 20:51 |
| marko-_- | Tellmarch, how would i do that? | 20:51 |
| designbybeck | I'm thinking they changed their DRM videos again and broke it for Linux ....again | 20:51 |
| BluesKaj | designbybeck, can't play them here, so I can't test | 20:51 |
| Tellmarch | marko-_-, well, either access with ssh while the screen is turned off and check with top | 20:52 |
| penguinman | designbybeck, wouldn't surprise me. i actually have to run windows in virtualbox to use netflix.... | 20:52 |
| Tellmarch | or maybe a graphical monitor with a graph that you can see just after coming back from the screen saving | 20:53 |
| marko-_- | Tellmarch, yeah good point | 20:53 |
| marko-_- | i'll do that | 20:53 |
| wan26 | I *purchased* two audio books from audible a while back, and copied the aax files over to my ubuntu machine, i no longer use windows, is there any prog in ubuntu that will just let me play those or should i just fire up xp in a vm and convert? | 20:54 |
| pyrrhic | I get a black screen after leaving my pc idle, it's still on. But when I come back I see nothing but a black screen. Ideas? | 20:54 |
| penguinman | wan26, hmm, not sure. vlc might handle it. | 20:54 |
| Tellmarch | or maybe xine | 20:54 |
| Tellmarch | since it's the only result from apt-cache search aax | 20:55 |
| Tellmarch | but it's just a guess :p | 20:55 |
| Mir09 | wan26, I think Banshee | 20:55 |
| jrib | Tellmarch: a front-end has "aax" in its name | 20:55 |
| wan26 | I'll give those a shot, (been meaning to tackle this for a while) thanks for the suggestions guys | 20:55 |
| Tellmarch | oh, not xine then :) | 20:55 |

| === AaronMickDee_ is now known as AaronMickDee | ||
| penguinman | i've actually considered dropping netflix for a while now. Once we get steam and decent gaming I'll only have the windows box around for work anyway. | 20:57 |
| penguinman | what gets me is they have support for android, but not desktop linux.... | 20:58 |
| ThinkT510 | penguinman: market share | 20:58 |
| zykotick9 | penguinman: android has nothing to do with gnu/linux, or even just linux kernel really - as it's a fork... | 20:58 |
| designbybeck | ah...looks like it their HD DRM stuff on AMazon, I got another video to play | 21:00 |

| k1l | bwlang: do release upgrade is a version upgrade of ubuntu. that is no surprise that there are so many packages | 21:13 |
| BluesKaj | bwlang, that's the nature of upgrading to new release , it upgrades your package to new versions | 21:13 |
| BluesKaj | packages | 21:13 |
| bwlang | k1l: it's a surprise to me. I don't want all this x11 stuff on this machine. | 21:14 |
| k1l | bwlang: its not installing anything new. its just upgrading | 21:14 |
| bwlang | k1l: i don't think so " 447 new packages are going to be installed. 617 packages are going to be upgraded." | 21:14 |
| BluesKaj | bwlang, it's your choice ,, you can run without X if you want ...have fun :) | 21:15 |
| nrgy2211 | ah boo. i gotta still register winrar even if it's a linux version -_- | 21:15 |
| bwlang | BluesKaj: this machine has run with out X for years, i just need to figure which package is depending on all this new stuff and uninstall it prior to the upgrade, but I can't tell which one is the "gateway drug" | 21:16 |
| k1l | bwlang: if there is a new kernel its a new install and not a upgrade. its the same when running apt-get upgrade vs apt-get dist-upgrade | 21:16 |
| bwlang | k1l: a new kernel won't be depending on x11proto-randr-dev | 21:16 |
| auronandace | !dist-upgrade | k1l | 21:17 |
| ubottu | k1l: 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. | 21:17 |
| bwlang | autonandance: I do want to upgrade to precise… and i expect some additions - but not so many. | 21:17 |

| k1l | !notunity | yubahaq | 21:42 |
| ubottu | yubahaq: 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 | 21:42 |

| frowzy | I'm not using a REAL irc client because Xchat (hilariously!) doesn't work in ubuntu. | 22:15 |
| dr_willis | frowzy: xchat works fine for me here on ubuntu. | 22:16 |
| dr_willis | i tend to use weechat however these days | 22:16 |
| adaccada | Several SSH server now tell me this: "Received disconnect from 178.63.xxx.x.xx: 2: Too many authentication failures for root" etc. This happens since i updated my system yesterday. Any ideas? | 22:16 |
| frowzy | Huh, it won't for me. I have this problem: http://help.dal.net/faqs/connections.html#registered | 22:16 |
| linus | start by checking with uname -r | 22:16 |
| frowzy | where the issue is "some IRC software is slow" | 22:16 |
| rizwan | xangua: for other passwords authentication failed | 22:16 |
| sokel | frowzy: irssi is the way to go. Console all the way. | 22:17 |
| dr_willis | Havent been to dalnet in years.. so no idea on dalnet.. | 22:17 |
| xangua | rizwan: did you already change your facebook password and introduce the new one in pidgin account manager¿ | 22:17 |
| frowzy | sokel: Look, some of us just don't like consoles. Okay? | 22:17 |
| linus | @adaccada with ubuntu since sudo is installed by default you shouldnt be able to ssh as root | 22:17 |
| linus | login as a regular user then us sudo or sudo su | 22:17 |
| rizwan | oh, understood, doing now, and will let u know once its done | 22:17 |
| linus | if you do have a ssh root user id delete it | 22:18 |
| adaccada | linus, this is also happening on non root accounts | 22:18 |
| Guest14387 | linus: debian kernel 3.2.0 and whatever is current in Ubuntu server 12.04 | 22:18 |
| bobweaver | !su | linus | 22:18 |
| ubottu | linus: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 22:18 |
| rizwan | xangua : oh, understood, doing now, and will let u know once its done | 22:18 |
| sokel | sudo -i, enter, type passwd, now root has a password. Now you can ssh into it. Congrats. | 22:18 |
| bobweaver | sudo -i ..... | 22:18 |
| dr_willis | dont use 'sudo su' use sudo -s or sudo -i. | 22:18 |
| bobweaver | sorry linus (about the bot ) | 22:18 |
| xangua | !noroot | rizwan | 22:18 |
| ubottu | rizwan: 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. | 22:18 |
| linus | @guest14387 then the kernels should be pretty close, if you want to go further you could check the exact revision number of your kernels then compare the distribution specific patches | 22:19 |
| adaccada | linus I really have no clue anymore. It happens on different servers with differnet accounts | 22:19 |
| Guest14387 | linus: thanks | 22:20 |
| frowzy | MonkeyDust: !brainstorm only worked for the first idea I threw out, now ubotto is just mocking me >_> | 22:20 |
| dr_willis | frowzy: its opened a query window to you i imagine | 22:21 |
| countley | can anyone recomend a good torrent downloader for ubuntu | 22:21 |
| dr_willis | /msg ubottu help | 22:21 |
| frowzy | dr_willis: yes, but now it's mocking me in PM. | 22:21 |
| xangua | countley: transmission is the default | 22:21 |
| dr_willis | countley: theres dozens of torrent clients out for Ubuntu and linux. it depends on your needs. | 22:21 |
| IdleOne | frowzy: ubottu is an info bot, you need to read the info it provides | 22:21 |
| frowzy | Ah, now I see my mistake. I trusted the word of a user over the bot. | 22:22 |
| rizwan | xangua: changed password from facebook site and tried, same error i m getting | 22:22 |
| bobweaver | frowzy, it is a supy bot !ssh ssh is used for blah blah blah then the team has to aprove | 22:22 |
| frowzy | I have yet to truly understand the zen of ubuntu. | 22:22 |
| xangua | rizwan: did you change it in pidgin¿ | 22:22 |

| sporkbox | Is it true that Ubuntu is not adopting systemd? I'm looking for distros that aren't switching (or forcing users to switch to it). | 22:26 |

| sporkbox | dr_willis: Alright, cool. Do you know any other distros that aren't switching? Gentoo's sticking with OpenRC for now and there's a lot of opposition to systemd there (good news for me) | 22:27 |
| dr_willis | sporkbox: i belive they are eventually switching. perhaps in the next lts.. hard to tell | 22:27 |
| sporkbox | Ah... | 22:27 |

| sporkbox | Alright. Thanks for letting me know, though. | 22:27 |

| rizwan | Rajvi: Tor netwoks is same as facebook ? | 22:36 |
| dr_willis | !tor | 22:36 |
| ubottu | Tor is a program to route connections through several servers for anonymity. It is in Ubuntu's repositories, but the Tor Project recommends using their Tor packages due to past issues with Ubuntu's. For setup info, see option (2) of https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en | To use Tor on freenode, see !tor-sasl | 22:36 |

| dj_who | icons are in /usr/share/y-ppa-manager/icons | 23:06 |
| DynV | linus: does this mean that amd64 version will work on an intel 64bit or not? | 23:06 |
| linus | yes | 23:06 |
| dj_who | but y-ppa is not using them | 23:06 |
| bobweaver | dj_ryan, why not /us/share/pixmaps ? | 23:06 |
| DynV | it will work or not? | 23:06 |
| dj_who | dont know | 23:07 |
| linus | amd64 is just the name given to that branch of the linux kernel | 23:07 |
| bobweaver | dj_who, what icons are you talking about ? | 23:07 |
| Jordan_U | DynV: Yes. "AMD64" refers to any 64 bit x86 compatible processor, which includes intel's. | 23:07 |
| dj_who | y-add.png for example | 23:08 |
| dj_who | in y-ppa menu | 23:08 |
| DynV | so AMD64 & Intel 64 are just synonyms to x86-64 ? | 23:08 |

| UbuntuBookPro | bobweaver my network card is not on that list. | 23:08 |

| ebs512 | I dont know which ones ;/I have googled up and down and have found similar posts relating to the issue but everything that worked for other people isnt working for me, what exactly is it I need? | 23:14 |
| Jordan_U | skulltip: http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/guide-to-sound-apis.html | 23:14 |
| Jordan_U | Frowzie: You're welcome. | 23:15 |
| bobweaver | ebs512, it says in your paste | 23:15 |
| abhinavmehta | I'm having some problem with plexmediaserver, can I ask here..? | 23:15 |
| bobweaver | each one of thouse files are needed ebs512 | 23:15 |
| bobweaver | !ask | abhinavmehta | 23:16 |
| ubottu | abhinavmehta: 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 | 23:16 |
| ebs512 | synaptic package manager? | 23:16 |
| bobweaver | ebs512, where is the conkey script that you are gotting this from ? | 23:16 |
| bobweaver | getting * | 23:16 |
| Alpha-Omega | question: when you do purge, does it delete the configs from just the root directory or your home folder as well? | 23:17 |
| abhinavmehta | I'm having problem with plexmedia client on iOS, can see that video has subtitles, but doesn't get loaded on iOS client…works fine on PC and MAc client. | 23:17 |
| zykotick9 | Alpha-Omega: NOT in home folder! | 23:17 |
| Jordan_U | Alpha-Omega: Only System wide configuration files. | 23:17 |
| Alpha-Omega | zykotick9: so just from root ok | 23:17 |
| Alpha-Omega | ok thanks | 23:17 |
| Jordan_U | abhinavmehta: What does that have to do with Ubuntu? | 23:17 |
| abhinavmehta | Jordan_U: correct, I also feel the same…I've asked this on iOS channel but they said, this is not there concern…ask on ubuntu | 23:18 |
| Alpha-Omega | and one more question: should I purge: linux-headers-3.2.0-29 linux-headers-3.2.0-29-generic when removing or might this destroy something? | 23:19 |
| ebs512 | nevermind it is apparently for gnome 2 | 23:19 |
| ebs512 | is there a specific place I can find conky scripts for gnome 3? | 23:20 |
| Troy^ | rsync --progress --remove-source-files doesn't seem to be working this is on a folder with .mp3 inside and i'm getting skipping directory . | 23:20 |
| Jordan_U | abhinavmehta: It sounds like the correct place to ask would be Plex's support venues. | 23:20 |
| Frowzie | Weird, Ubuntu Tweak disappeared. Also weird, 64bit packages won't install ("wrong architecture").. I'm pretty sure I installed 64bit linux. | 23:20 |
| WeThePeople | ebs512, define conky | 23:20 |
| bobweaver | ebs512, try gnome-look | 23:21 |
| ebs512 | conky is a configurable script to have custom system monitors on the desktop | 23:21 |
| abhinavmehta | Jordan_U: k | 23:21 |
| Troy^ | someone help me out with my rsync issue? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1187976/ maybe i'm not using the proper syntax? | 23:21 |
| bobweaver | but conky sould run either was | 23:21 |
| bobweaver | way * | 23:21 |
| ebs512 | for gtk2 and gtk3? | 23:21 |
| ebs512 | all gtk2 I have tried dont work unless they are specifically ported to gtk3 | 23:22 |
| staccz | is this the correct place for a noob to ask questions? | 23:22 |
| xangua | ebs512: 'conky-colors' has no problem with unity or gnome-shell | 23:22 |
| ebs512 | im in gnome 3, thank you xangua, not to be picky but I want one on the right side of the desktop due to my axe menu and dock | 23:23 |
| Syleron | So.. Trying to install Ubuntu on my iMac. I chose to install instead of trying it live. As soon as I get the wallpaper for Ubuntu and the top bar shows it disappears. A loading icon shows and then goes to a black screen after a few minutes. Does anyone have an idea why? | 23:23 |
| IlikeMoose2 | i just installed nfs-common so i can share files between 2 systems i have on the same network, how do i go about accessing the files??? | 23:25 |
| IlikeMoose2 | i can't seem to pull anything up in nautilus | 23:25 |
| WeThePeople | ilikemoose2, did you designate a folder? | 23:26 |
| Troy^ | IlikeMoose: \\ip.of.system\ | 23:26 |
| IlikeMoose2 | not yet 1 sec | 23:26 |
| Onlyodin | NFS or Samba? | 23:26 |
| Onlyodin | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo | 23:26 |
| IlikeMoose2 | nfs | 23:26 |
| Jordan_U | staccz: This is the Ubuntu support channel, where both new and experienced users are welcome to ask questions, yes. | 23:27 |
| econdudeawesome | howdy all! Where should I ask for help setting up an ssh server? | 23:27 |
| WeThePeople | yes | 23:27 |
| Troy^ | i guess i should setup NFS instead of samba... | 23:28 |
| Alpha-Omega | damnit, I'm trying to get minidlna to work, I set the directory in the config file and my device detects the dlna server, but no files show up, can anyone explain why? | 23:28 |
| m6d4 | Troy^: are you missing -a with rsync ? | 23:28 |
| h22turbo | econdudeawesome: google | 23:28 |
| Jordan_U | !google | h22turbo | 23:28 |
| ubottu | h22turbo: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 23:28 |
| econdudeawesome | h22turbo: I'm looking for more... interactive help | 23:28 |
| h22turbo | !blah | Jordan_U | 23:28 |
| econdudeawesome | I'm wanting to make sure it's actually secured before I go live with it. I'm not much of a networker, unfortunately | 23:29 |
| Alpha-Omega | could there be a permissions error or something? | 23:29 |
| Jordan_U | econdudeawesome: If you just want to be able to ssh into your machine, "sudo apt-get install openssh-server" is all you need. Is there more you want to do? | 23:29 |
| h22turbo | econdudeawesome: first, sudo apt-get install openssh-client openssh-server | 23:29 |
| econdudeawesome | Jordan_U: I think it would be good to make it as secure as possible. But I dont want to clog up #ubuntu with off-topic questions, so I figured it'd be better to ask for a better venue | 23:30 |
| Jordan_U | econdudeawesome: This question is on-topic for this channel (also on topic for #ubuntu-server, but we can continue here). | 23:31 |
| econdudeawesome | ok | 23:31 |
| econdudeawesome | So, once I install the server (and client, h22? I already ssh into other machines, but want to set up ssh into this machine) | 23:31 |
| econdudeawesome | how do I go about securing things? | 23:31 |
| Jordan_U | econdudeawesome: Is this machine going to be accessible from the internet? | 23:31 |
| Troy^ | can NFS be accessed by Windows machine? | 23:31 |
| econdudeawesome | Jordan_U: yes | 23:32 |
| melodie | good night | 23:32 |
| econdudeawesome | it is behind a router that I can set a firewall up on | 23:32 |
| h22turbo | econdudeawesome: id recommend pub key auth, but that depends on what you will be using the box for... are clients going to login to it? a bunch of clients? just you SSH'ing in? | 23:32 |
| federico | Hi. Does any of you know webdesign? | 23:32 |
| h22turbo | econdudeawesome: will u be ssh'ing in from many different pcs? | 23:33 |
| econdudeawesome | h22turbo: Just me. Going to use it to ssh into for a programming course | 23:33 |
| econdudeawesome | h22turbo: maybe 3 or 4 total | 23:33 |
| WeThePeople | federico, wrong channel | 23:33 |
| federico | Sorry. | 23:33 |
| WeThePeople | mabe see css or html | 23:33 |
| h22turbo | econdudeawesome: umm, i would just change the default port (22) to something different and use a very secure password, and install fail2ban or denyhosts | 23:33 |
| federico | Thank you :) | 23:34 |
| Alpha-Omega | the log for minidlna says: inotify.c:89: error: inotify_add_watch(/media/STORAGE) [Permission denied] | 23:34 |
| m6d4 | Troy^: yes you can - http://sagehacks.wordpress.com/2009/01/21/howto-mount-nfs-shares-under-windows-7/ | 23:34 |
| Alpha-Omega | I'm starting the service with sudo, don't understand why it doesn't access /media/STORAGE | 23:34 |
| lickalott | troy it's an add-on in windows 7. what version do you have? | 23:35 |
| econdudeawesome | h22turbo: does the port really matter? Also, would you recommend a secure password + secure auth? | 23:35 |
| Troy^ | ultimate lickalott | 23:35 |
| h22turbo | econdudeawesome: well, changing the default port will help agains ssh bruteforcing... "people" scan for port 22 then try to bruteforce names and passwords. so, changing it would be a lot better | 23:36 |
| lickalott | control panel > apps and features > turn on or off windows components > NFS | 23:36 |
| Troy^ | hmm what is the best way to find out if my external harddrive connected to my ubuntu server is being picked up as usb2.0 or 1.1 | 23:36 |
| h22turbo | econdudeawesome: & secure key auth is the best... but in your case, i'd just do secure pass, change def port, and fail2ban or denyhosts. its up to you tho | 23:36 |
| econdudeawesome | h22turbo: ah, so it'd skip over it if it's a different port? | 23:36 |
| Dynamit_irssi | good night every one | 23:37 |
| econdudeawesome | what is fail2ban and denyhosts? | 23:37 |
| WeThePeople | no | 23:37 |
| econdudeawesome | Good night Dynamit_irssi | 23:37 |
| WeThePeople | good day everyone | 23:37 |
| lickalott | you add it to the actual shared folder (i.e. if you share out in /etc/exports /home/troy/vids/porn and the alias is porn you would add IPADDRESS:/porn as the nfs) | 23:37 |
| WeThePeople | lol | 23:37 |
| h22turbo | econdudeawesome: thats pretty much brute protection. after so many failed login attempts... it will add the host to deny.hosts and block that "user" from accessing ssh or anything from your ip | 23:37 |
| econdudeawesome | ah. | 23:38 |
| econdudeawesome | is it fail2ban AND denyhosts or fail2ban OR denyhosts? | 23:38 |
| h22turbo | its OR | 23:38 |
| h22turbo | 2 different things.. but do the same | 23:38 |
| econdudeawesome | h22turbo: okay. Is one superior to the other? | 23:39 |
| h22turbo | i always use denyhosts... always have... but check them both out | 23:39 |
| econdudeawesome | ok | 23:39 |
| Zal | pretty simple stuff, fail2ban works fine too | 23:39 |
| h22turbo | econdudeawesome: they both do the same thing... denyhosts is easier imo | 23:39 |
| h22turbo | econdudeawesome: very easy to setup and config | 23:39 |
| h22turbo | and works great | 23:40 |
| econdudeawesome | ok | 23:40 |
| econdudeawesome | I'll check that out then | 23:40 |
| Troy^ | hmm my connected external drive may be interfaced using usb1.1 or usb2.0 how can i tell? | 23:40 |
| econdudeawesome | reading over the fail2ban vs denyhosts vs iptables thread in the forums | 23:41 |
| actionParsnip | Troy^: dmesg | less may give clues | 23:41 |
| h22turbo | econdudeawesome: everyone here hates when you say google it.... but google has tons of tutorials on ssh servers on ubuntu... and also how to secure or harden everything | 23:41 |
| Alpha-Omega | can anyone help me with my minidlna issue? | 23:42 |
| econdudeawesome | h22turbo: I know, and I try not to bother the community about things I can look up. But setting up ssh to my confidence has always eluded me | 23:42 |
| actionParsnip | Alpha-Omega: ask and see :) | 23:42 |
| Alpha-Omega | actionParsnip: I already did :P | 23:42 |
| econdudeawesome | yaye actionParsnip is on (he/she is awesome) | 23:42 |
| skr00t | I have followed the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/samba-dc.html but I when I try to connect a client machine to the DC it says it can't find it. | 23:43 |
| actionParsnip | Alpha-Omega: i came in after you asked, what is the issue please/ | 23:43 |
| actionParsnip | Alpha-Omega: have you seen this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MiniDLNA | 23:43 |
| h22turbo | econdudeawesome: if u need anything or have any questions... we'll help u out | 23:43 |
| Alpha-Omega | I'm trying to get minidlna to work, I set the directory in the config file and my device detects the dlna server, but no files show up, can anyone explain why? the log for minidlna says: inotify.c:89: error: inotify_add_watch(/media/STORAGE) [Permission denied] | 23:43 |
| y_nk | hello | 23:43 |
| Alpha-Omega | actionParsnip: yeah, I've read that | 23:43 |
| y_nk | Alpha-Omega: maybe you should sudo it ; sudo minidlna -R | 23:43 |
| Alpha-Omega | seems to be a permission issue | 23:44 |
| econdudeawesome | h22turbo: one last quick question: i'm behind a router that has multiple items connected to it--if this is device #3 today, how to I ssh into that? IP:3? | 23:44 |
| Alpha-Omega | y_nk: I did sudo minidlna start | 23:44 |
| Alpha-Omega | oops | 23:44 |
| Alpha-Omega | sudo service minidlna start | 23:44 |
| Troy^ | actionParsnip: i can find my internal HD's in that output | 23:44 |
| Alpha-Omega | that's what I did | 23:44 |
| Zal | econdudeawesome, from outside the network? | 23:44 |
| econdudeawesome | Zal yes | 23:45 |
| Alpha-Omega | y_nk: wow, what the hell, that did it :P | 23:45 |
| h22turbo | econdudeawesome: you will prob have to set a static ip on ur linux box, then port forward 22 to the priv ip of that box, then from outside the network, u'll have to use your pub ip (from your ISP) or get a dynamic DNS if it changes | 23:45 |
| Alpha-Omega | y_nk: but can't I start the service with sudo service minidlna start? so I can start it with my computer if I wanted to? | 23:45 |
| econdudeawesome | h22turbo: oh. Well, off to google then I guess :D | 23:45 |
| Zal | econdudeawesome, you have to set up your router to forward the incoming connection to the appropriate machine inside the network. | 23:45 |
| Alpha-Omega | and what's the difference if I start with sudo service or just run the command? | 23:46 |
| skr00t | Can anyone give me a hand with my Domain Controller issues? | 23:46 |
| econdudeawesome | Zal: how do I do that, generally? | 23:46 |
| y_nk | Alpha-Omega: i don't know i was just doing a quick guess :p | 23:46 |
| h22turbo | econdudeawesome: let us know if u need help or cant figure something out | 23:46 |
| Troy^ | actionParsnip: this is all i really found http://paste.ubuntu.com/1188009/ | 23:46 |
| Zal | econdudeawesome, usually you adjust settings on the router through it's web interface. | 23:46 |
| h22turbo | econdudeawesome: go in to your router's admin settings page... setup port forwarding | 23:46 |
| Froward | :D | 23:47 |
| h22turbo | econdudeawesome: does ur linux box change prib IPs? (192.168.x.x) | 23:47 |
| h22turbo | *priv | 23:47 |
| Alpha-Omega | y_nk: weird, when I do sudo service minidlna start again, no files :( | 23:47 |
| Alpha-Omega | really weird | 23:47 |
| y_nk | damn :/ | 23:47 |
| econdudeawesome | h22turbo: only after a reboot of the router or the system I believe. Im there (192.168.1.1, using an old FiOS router/Ationtec) | 23:47 |
| kalledelta | Hi all, has anyone here used Dells new R620/R720? | 23:47 |
| y_nk | could anyone help me with an awk command i'm trying to build ? | 23:48 |
| actionParsnip | Troy^: could use hdparm to test read and write speed | 23:48 |
| Troy^ | hmm | 23:48 |
| econdudeawesome | okay, I think I found the port forwarding page | 23:48 |
| === atrius_away is now known as atrius | ||
| h22turbo | econdudeawesome: u can set your linux box to use a static priv IP address, then on your router admin page... setup port forwarding to forward incoming connections on port 22 to your linux box static ip | 23:48 |
| Troy^ | actionParsnip: yea i set this linux box up and ran out of sata ports as there is only 2 of them. Also they aren't even 3gb ports lol | 23:48 |
| actionParsnip | Troy^: probably fast enough for what you need | 23:49 |
| econdudeawesome | h22turbo: got it. So set private ip as static, then forward to the port I chose (not 22) | 23:49 |
| actionParsnip | kalledelta: those look nice | 23:49 |
| Troy^ | actionParsnip: you are right.. just no more room for drives really. | 23:49 |
| y_nk | i'm trying to launch a command anytime a line appears in a log file. I know how to read the log file (with tail -f), pipe awk, but i'm lost after that | 23:50 |
| skr00t | What is the default admin group in Ubuntu? | 23:50 |
| === atrius is now known as atrius_away | ||
| actionParsnip | Troy^: you can run 127 devices off 1 USB controller :) | 23:50 |
| === atrius_away is now known as atrius | ||
| skr00t | adm? | 23:50 |
| h22turbo | econdudeawesome: Yep! when outside your network (school, whatever) you will have to SSH to your pub ip or setup dynamic dns service incase it ever changes | 23:50 |
| kalledelta | actionParsnip: they really are, but I can't get my R720 to work properly.. it doesn't boot after first installation… (stock 12.04) | 23:50 |
| Troy^ | actionParsnip: slow as heck lol | 23:50 |
| actionParsnip | kalledelta: tried the boot option: nomodeset | 23:50 |
| === atrius is now known as atrius_away | ||
| actionParsnip | Troy^: if its for a backup, its ok. depends on the use of the drive really | 23:51 |
| econdudeawesome | h22turbo: I'm pretty sure it's dynamic, but just in case I think I'll set up a daily cron job | 23:51 |
| kalledelta | actionParsnip: is that a kernel boot option? | 23:51 |
| actionParsnip | kalledelta: yes | 23:51 |
| dalek_ | I need help with Scribus in Ubuntu - where is the help channel for Scribus? | 23:51 |
| econdudeawesome | to email the ip ;-) | 23:51 |
| jrib | skr00t: depends on your ubuntu version. It's "sudo" in the current one | 23:51 |
| Adeeb12 | Can someone please help me with this small problem, I cannot add additional software sources. After adding them, when I try updating... it gives me errors | 23:51 |
| h22turbo | econdudeawesome: daily cron job for? | 23:52 |
| skr00t | I'm on 12.4.1 | 23:52 |
| jrib | Adeeb12: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list* and the errors (including the command you ran) | 23:52 |
| skr00t | thank you, jrib | 23:52 |
| ebs512 | hey guys have a bigger problem now, my sound is all the way upon my laptop and I am getting no sound, the device for sound says Dummy Output | 23:52 |
| econdudeawesome | h22turbo: email out the public ip to myself | 23:52 |
| jrib | skr00t: on 12.04 it should be "sudo" | 23:52 |
| skr00t | hrmm | 23:52 |
| skr00t | im in that group | 23:52 |
| actionParsnip | jrib: glad itchanged to sudo, matches closer with Debian | 23:52 |
| h22turbo | econdudeawesome: it would be easier to setup a dynamic dns at noip.com. they have a linux client that runs in the background and updates if anything changes | 23:53 |
| skr00t | but when i try to run ifconfig from a terminal it says i lack administrative priveleges | 23:53 |
| jrib | actionParsnip: well "admin" was better than "wheel" :P | 23:53 |
| jrib | skr00t: are you doing "sudo ifconfig"? | 23:53 |
| skr00t | obviously it works with sudo, but im wondering if thats the cause for me not being able to join the domain | 23:53 |
| Troy^ | actionParsnip: i dont think hdparm works for usb drives honestly. my usb drive isn't really in /dev/ unless i can't find it lol | 23:53 |
| kalledelta | actionParsnip: no, haven't tried it… it's kind of hard testing it also, since I do a PXE installation and when the server is finished, it reboots and doesn't get up... | 23:53 |
| econdudeawesome | h22turbo: will check it out. Shouldn't change tho, right? If on a cable network? Man, I feel clueless when it comes to networking practicum | 23:53 |
| h22turbo | econdudeawesome: then you just need to remember your DNS u pick (myleetbox.noip.com or whatever) and not worry about checking an email for the IP | 23:53 |
| econdudeawesome | h22turbo: but then what use do I have for my alpine + conky setup? :P ;-) | 23:54 |
| econdudeawesome | Just kidding | 23:54 |
| h22turbo | econdudeawesome: im not sure about FIOS... but i think they hardly ever change customers ips | 23:54 |
| WeThePeople | fios ? | 23:54 |
| actionParsnip | Troy^: sudo fdisk -l willshow you what it is | 23:54 |
| h22turbo | verizon fiso | 23:54 |
| h22turbo | fios | 23:54 |
| jrib | skr00t: well being in the sudo group will only affect your ability to actually run the sudo command. What is it you are trying to accomplish? | 23:55 |
| h22turbo | = awesomeness | 23:55 |
| h22turbo | :) | 23:55 |
| actionParsnip | kalledelta: give it a go, can help | 23:55 |
| econdudeawesome | h22turbo: its no longer on a fios network, just use the router cause its decent | 23:55 |
| Troy^ | actionParsnip: it is /dev/sdd but hdparm doesn't like it | 23:55 |
| skr00t | jrib, i just followed the guide to setup ubuntu as the primary domain controller | 23:55 |
| skr00t | now on a windows client, im trying to join the domain | 23:55 |
| h22turbo | econdudeawesome: ohhh ok... unless you're on DSL, IPs hardly ever change unless u reboot your modem | 23:55 |
| dalek_ | help! In Scribus... how do I click/select an unclickable image frame when using a template? | 23:56 |
| actionParsnip | Troy^: could try sdparm | 23:56 |
| kalledelta | actionParsnip: yes, I will.. but I need to do it remote, so it will probably take a while… :-/ | 23:56 |
| skr00t | but i get the error that domain either does not exist or could not be contacted | 23:56 |
| actionParsnip | kalledelta: may need a smarthands | 23:56 |
| h22turbo | econdudeawesome: that made no sense... lol sry... ips dont change unless u reboot ur modem | 23:56 |
| actionParsnip | kalledelta: if the ssh service is started you can SSH in and apply it | 23:56 |
| Troy^ | actionParsnip: fizz@server:/dev$ sdparm /dev/sdd | 23:56 |
| Troy^ | open error: /dev/sdd [read only]: Permission denied | 23:56 |
| econdudeawesome | h22turbo: which I unfortunately have to do time to time--crappy local resupplier of cable, but ah well | 23:56 |
| jrib | skr00t: well I don't know much about that but my suggestion would be to 1) include the guide you are following in your question and 2) pastebin exactly what you are running and the full output | 23:56 |
| kalledelta | actionParsnip: the problem is.. it doesn't boot… can't get passed grub | 23:56 |
| dalek_ | Anyone here know how to use Scribus? | 23:57 |
| kalledelta | actionParsnip: when I hold the shift-key (locally), it just says GRUB and stalls | 23:57 |
| Troy^ | actionParsnip: disregard that lol i ran it with sudo it gives me: /dev/sdd: WD My Book 1140 1012 | 23:57 |
| h22turbo | econdudeawesome: but its still good to setup a noip.com dynamic dns and use the noip update client. then u can just SSH to mybox.noip.com (regardless of what ur ip might be) | 23:57 |
| skr00t | jrib, i did include the in my first question. here it is again: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/samba-dc.html | 23:57 |
| actionParsnip | kalledelta: you don't need to boot to apply boot options, you can hold SHIFT at boot and add it to the boot there | 23:57 |
| econdudeawesome | h22turbo: are they that trustworthy? | 23:57 |
| skr00t | jrib, as for what im running, absolutely nothing. im on windows trying to join the domain as i normally would. | 23:57 |
| jrib | skr00t: why not follow the 12.04 guide? | 23:57 |
