| ClientAlive | I've seen the tutorials online and everything looks to be right but still not working. | 00:14 |
| fluzios | ClientAlive: have you restarted the shell? | 00:14 |
| ClientAlive | I restarted the whole computer, is that sufficient? | 00:14 |
| ClientAlive | it tells me command not found | 00:14 |
| fluzios | 3 times i hope? | 00:14 |

| UbuntuBookPro | I started with a ~900 gig partition for Ubuntu. I've downloaded around 5 gigs, which Nautilus reports, but Nautilus also says I have only 700 gigs remaining. What's going on? [Ubuntu 12.04 on MacBookPro.] | 00:15 |
| papashou | hello what are you trying to dO? | 00:15 |
| ClientAlive | 3 times? | 00:15 |
| demonspork | ClientAlive: 3 time was a joke | 00:15 |
| fluzios | ClientAlive: can you pastebin .bash_aliases, .bashrc and maybe .bash_profile | 00:15 |
| ClientAlive | It says this: http://pastebin.com/h71kphvu | 00:16 |
| ClientAlive | sure I can - one moment | 00:16 |
| ClientAlive | please remind me how to run the pastebinit command - is it... <command> | pastebinit ? | 00:17 |
| fluzios | ClientAlive: or just check that you have this in your .bashrc http://pastebin.com/6qWx4VFk | 00:18 |
| fluzios | and yes | 00:18 |
| fluzios | cat .bashrc | pastebinit | 00:18 |
| subcool | how do i test to see if my NFS Host is properly setup? | 00:18 |
| ClientAlive | .bashrc here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1195736/ and .bash_aliases here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1195737/ | 00:19 |
| fluzios | " instead of ' | 00:20 |
| fluzios | first line last char | 00:20 |
| ClientAlive | I know one of my aliases has double quotes and that's wrong - I was testing | 00:20 |
| ClientAlive | but it is update='sudo apt-get update' that I try to run on the command line and get command not found | 00:21 |
| jrib | ClientAlive: you need to actually use the "alias" command | 00:21 |
| jrib | ClientAlive: (like all the examples in your ~/.bashrc) | 00:21 |
| ClientAlive | ohhh!!! I remember now! thank you thank you | 00:21 |
| fluzios | =) | 00:21 |
| tprice | can i use lvm on an install that was not instlled with lvm? | 00:22 |
| ClientAlive | how stupid of me - i've done this successfully before just forgot | 00:22 |
| Iron | hello, I have a new problem: Whenever i try to turn ubuntu off, it hangs on the shutting down screen. I have to force it to turn off. | 00:22 |
| zephyr | whats the default network tool when you finish the server installer? | 00:23 |
| ClientAlive | now how do you restart the shell without restarting the whole computer?? /etc/init.d/<something> ?? | 00:23 |
| tprice | anyone? | 00:24 |
| fluzios | ClientAlive: start a new window? | 00:24 |
| demonspork | ClientAlive: close the terminal window that you have open | 00:24 |
| demonspork | and open a new one | 00:24 |
| ClientAlive | oh. right one | 00:24 |
| fluzios | ClientAlive: also, when changing aliases you can just run: source .bash_aliases | 00:24 |
| ClientAlive | right on | 00:24 |
| papashou | Hello is there activity ? | 00:25 |
| ClientAlive | one last question. I saw someone wrote that if you put the aliases file in /etc/ and you name it something like bash.aliases.local it will then work for root and user. Does that sound right? How do you make it work for both root and user? | 00:25 |
| ClientAlive | yeah, because my aliases work ok as user but not if I log in as root (I sometimes work as root if I have a lot to do that requires admin privs). | 00:28 |
| subcool | how do i test to see if my NFS Host is properly setup? | 00:30 |
| ClientAlive | Anyone on how to make aliases work for both root and user with just one aliases file?? | 00:31 |
| papashou | I am always logged into root, whenever I log into my boxens | 00:32 |
| papashou | I do have about 80 boxens for work. It is glorious. | 00:32 |
| fluzios | ClientAlive: http://7enn.com/2011/02/20/how-to-make-your-bash-aliases-available-as-a-root-in-ubuntu/ | 00:32 |
| ash_ | Elow, what up anybody Online? | 00:33 |
| papashou | We're all online. Whether we're here or not is debatable. | 00:33 |
| ClientAlive | oh. cool, thx | 00:33 |
| papashou | ClientAlive: what exactly are you trying to achieve? You can always edit the /etc/profile script- that gets loaded by all userlogins | 00:33 |
| papashou | Or at least, usually does- on RHEL | 00:33 |

| jamster | help | 00:35 |
| blackshirt | what you need jamster | 00:35 |
| ClientAlive | omg that's so simple! I occasionally log in as root to do the stuff I need to (when I have lots to do that needs admin priveledges) I want to use the same alias names to execute the same command but so it makes no difference if I log in as root or as user. So they work either way. | 00:35 |

| jamster | I have the other space for the iso file of my hard drive ddrescue | 00:37 |
| blackshirt | you mean install on it jamster? | 00:37 |
| spartan | I was hoping someone could help me install cinnamon | 00:37 |
| jamster | no not an install | 00:37 |
| === spartan is now known as Guest3924 | ||
| blackshirt | Hi spartan | 00:37 |
| blackshirt | Spartan, are you using mint? | 00:37 |
| jamster | a cloned back up of ubuntu from ddrescue blackshirt | 00:38 |
| Guest3924 | I've install cinnamon before, however, I'm running the powerpc version of kubuntu | 00:38 |
| ClientAlive | fluzios: wouldn't it make more sense to switch the order of what's in those file (at the link you gave me)? To put what it say for /root/.bashrc into ~/.bashrc and put your .bash_aliases in /root ?? | 00:38 |
| === Guest3924 is now known as standarshy | ||
| ClientAlive | then you caould have any user be able to access them? | 00:38 |
| standarshy | Sorry for those name changes | 00:39 |
| blackshirt | jamster, sorry for my stupidity... I think You can do it | 00:39 |
| fluzios | ClientAlive: other users probably shouldn't have access to root's files | 00:40 |
| ClientAlive | oh, yeah. That makes sense. Just seemd like an odd way to set it up (what's at the link). I also thought about putting it /etc/.bash_aliases then mod /root/.bashrc and ~/.bashrc accordingly. I suppose I may need to consider perms or other security measures if I did that though? | 00:41 |
| Aristide | GOod night o/ | 00:44 |
| standarshy | Hi yall, can anyone here help me install cinnamon on powerpc? | 00:45 |
| fluzios | ClientAlive: putting it in /etc/bash.bash_aliases would probably be fine (i would recommend the bash prefix instead of just .bash_aliases) | 00:45 |
| ClientAlive | fluzios: ok. I think I should remove all perms from work too though. What do you think? | 00:47 |
| ClientAlive | I meant "world" | 00:47 |
| ClientAlive | make it to be -rw-r----- | 00:48 |

| subcool | papashou, the directory exists | 00:53 |
| ClientAlive | cool | 00:53 |
| papashou | then ensure that the service has perm to read every directory above it. | 00:53 |

| Kinks | I tried to activate the compiz effect but it seems not to work with Unity | 00:54 |
| intoubuntu | Any interest in staring an open source Python application in Python? | 00:55 |
| papashou | lets say you have /some/path/media | 00:55 |
| === jsjgruber is now known as Guest91716 | ||
| papashou | hem some mesgs didn't' go thru | 00:56 |
| papashou | lets say you have /some/path/media - you need to make sure /some and /some/path also have +x permission to the NFS service user (probably root) | 00:56 |
| Kinks | just found a way. Let me share: "xcalib -invert -alter" | 00:57 |
| jerry_l | hello | 00:58 |
| subcool | papashou, well, i had /media/HDD set for NFS- but then realized all my HDD's are in the Media directory, so i just removed the HDD part and left it so my entire "/media" directory is shared.. now my server is running. | 00:58 |
| Meris | High time for bed, thanks for the nice atmosphere... | 00:58 |
| subcool | how do i change the folders beneath /media to +x | 00:58 |

| === redhat is now known as CaptainKnots | ||
| ClientAlive | fluzio: I must not be doing this right. I'm having a bit of trouble recognizing the pattern at the link you shared and applying it to what I was experimenting with. | 01:00 |
| papashou | are your external drives loading up as the currently logged in user? e.g. "subcool:subcool" ? | 01:00 |
| subcool | papashou, got me | 01:01 |
| papashou | open a term and type "ls -la /media" | 01:01 |
| subcool | yea, they r. | 01:01 |
| papashou | quite honestly i can't envision it right now because i'm on Mac OSX- i'm currently rebuilding my Ubuntu machine. | 01:01 |
| papashou | does it have +x on the third set of bits ? | 01:02 |
| subcool | im trying to build a OSx86 device.. | 01:02 |
| subcool | papashou, no | 01:02 |
| papashou | then that is why. | 01:03 |
| pepperjack | you want to recursively change everything under /media to be executable? that seems a little drastic | 01:03 |
| subcool | but at the same time- now that there arent any errors on the server side, i still cant add them to the client. | 01:03 |
| papashou | no, the NFS server won't complain at all. it just won't see it. | 01:03 |
| subcool | it was complaining at first | 01:04 |
| subcool | thats now i got the error | 01:04 |
| ash_ | UBUNTU is Updating | 01:04 |
| papashou | you can edit the /etc/fstab file to mount it with a certain umask | 01:04 |
| papashou | so we can read/write it on NFS. | 01:05 |
| papashou | or if you just want read permission | 01:05 |
| subcool | i was reading about the fstab | 01:05 |
| subcool | right now im using the mount option- | 01:06 |
| papashou | so if you plug it in- it will automatically mount it, usually, thanks to udev | 01:06 |
| subcool | but- it when i run the command, nothing happens. | 01:06 |
| papashou | unless you're using an old ubuntu or not a ubuntu flavor | 01:06 |
| fluzios | ClientAlive: maybe easier to just copy the files, and update both manualy | 01:06 |
| subcool | papashou, well, with the hell ive been getting from ubuntu- i might move on pretty soon. | 01:07 |
| subcool | but, not JUSt yet.. | 01:07 |
| papashou | you need to do umount; then mount -o umask=022 /device /path (for example) | 01:07 |
| subcool | ive been doing... as per the 5 guides ive been boucning off of | 01:08 |
| papashou | yes you may call ubuntu hell, but as far as Linux goes, it's very automatic, and does more for its user than most other flavors. | 01:08 |
| papashou | as root? or sudo? | 01:08 |
| subcool | sudo mount 192.168.2.5:/media /home/subcool/NetworkDrives/Storage | 01:08 |
| Nogal | Hey there, I've got a quick question... How do I set up a network bridge-like setup for a setup like this: <client> LAN <laptop> WLAN <router> ... which retains internet access on the laptop as well as the client computer? | 01:08 |
| subcool | papashou, yea, thats why i came to them to begin with. but now they are acting like mandriva.. | 01:08 |
| ClientAlive | fluzios: yes and no. My intention is to sync these file between two computer once I have it set up on the one. I was hoping to centrally locat the aliases file then sync it and both of the .bashrc files. | 01:08 |
| papashou | subcool: you need to mount it properly on the server side | 01:09 |
| ClientAlive | I just don't get how to modify the function do they call it a function in bash?) that's in the .bashrc files. | 01:09 |
| papashou | sudo mount 192.168.2.5….etc is the client side and you'er fine there | 01:09 |
| subcool | it just stalls | 01:09 |
| papashou | on HOST 192.168.2.5- what is the content of /etc/exports | 01:10 |
| Grivvel | Heya! I'm having a problem with 12.04 on my Acer Aspire Revo. The audio-in (microphone) device doesn't show up in any of the GUI device managers and doesn't seem to work.

| jeep | i love nfs its one of the greatout *nixest things ab | 01:10 |
| subcool | papashou, /media *(rw,sync,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check) | 01:10 |
| papashou | OK, on a device below /media | 01:10 |

| Dark-Magician-Gi | Could someone help me with something? My desktop as 2 drives. On one drive, I have a fresh copy of windows xp. I would like to install ubuntu on the other drive but can't seem to get it to work. I created a partition on the blank drive for ubuntu and selected the 'ext 4' filesystem (it was default). It keeps asking me to set a root when I click install though. I selected '/boot' from the list | 01:12 |
| Dark-Magician-Gi | and it still says I need to select one. | 01:12 |
| papashou | so do "sudo chmod +x /media/Storage | 01:12 |
| papashou | " | 01:12 |
| fluzios | ClientAlive: The bashrc just checks if a alias file exists, then "load" it | 01:12 |
| papashou | sorry.. chmod ugo+x Storage | 01:12 |
| papashou | then a service nfsd restart (or /etc/init.d/nfsd restart) | 01:13 |
| ash_ | is there any way to remove that bar on the left? and put it into default mode? i am on ubuntu 12.04 | 01:13 |
| subcool | papashou, i already ran the previous command, how do i fix it | 01:13 |
| papashou | been in RHEL mode lately so .. one of those should ork | 01:13 |
| jeep | Dark-Magician-Gi: so your question is what is root ? | 01:13 |
| Dark-Magician-Gi | By the way, I checked the installation guide but it doesn't mention the step(s) I'm having trouble with. | 01:13 |
| papashou | ugo+x ? | 01:13 |
| ClientAlive | fluzios: ok, then I had the .bashrc right the first time but got a permission denied for some reason | 01:13 |
| === Guest4612 is now known as sa`tan | ||
| Dark-Magician-Gi | Well, I guess I'm not sure what I should choose for filesystem and root during the installation process at the partition manager screen. | 01:14 |
| Dark-Magician-Gi | On my Windows xp installation it says the filesystem is ntfs. | 01:14 |
| subcool | papashou, no- i ran chmod +x before u corrected urself. | 01:14 |
| Nogal | Hey there, I've got a quick question... How do I set up a network bridge-like setup for a setup like this: <client> LAN <laptop> WLAN <router> ... which retains internet access on the laptop as well as the client computer? | 01:14 |
| jeep | Dark-Magician-Gi: you need at minimum two partititons on /dev/sdb one large one for / and another greater than amount of ram you have for swap | 01:14 |
| papashou | you need ugo+x (or at least a chmod 0755) | 01:15 |
| fluzios | ClientAlive: probably owner/group mismatch, +r for all users should help | 01:15 |
| jeep | Dark-Magician-Gi: /dev/sda will be your windows | 01:15 |
| subcool | papashou, i did ugo+x - nothing changed.. | 01:15 |
| ash_ | To enable root on Ubuntu sudo passwd root :) put password and to login as root type = su (Put password) | 01:15 |
| papashou | then restart nfsd ? | 01:15 |
| ClientAlive | fluzios: right now the perms on /etc/.bash_aliases is "-rw-r-----" | 01:16 |

| subcool | papashou, yea | 01:16 |
| lesce | hey guys , I have a very strange problem , I can't get gnome terminal to start with zsh ... anyone else encounter this ? | 01:16 |
| papashou | service iptables status ? | 01:16 |
| Dark-Magician-Gi | Yeah, that is my Windows. So, for /dev/sdb, I should create two partitions: The first for '/' and the second for 'swap'? I have 1gb ram so anything more than that will be okay for swap? | 01:16 |
| ClientAlive | oh! but the owner and group are root for some reason. Do they have to be owned by my user name? | 01:16 |
| jrib | lesce: nope | 01:17 |
| jrib | lesce: (how are you trying) | 01:17 |
| fluzios | ClientAlive: group should be some group that you are in | 01:17 |
| subcool | papashou, was that to me? - iptables unrecognized command | 01:17 |
| ash_ | did somebody try Macbuntu ? | 01:17 |
| lesce | my defaul shell is zsh and I've added in gnome-terminal's preferences /bin/zsh as custom commands | 01:17 |

| jeep | Dark-Magician-Gi: make your swap 1.5 gig or so and how big is the rest of the space ? | 01:17 |
| Dark-Magician-Gi | 230-240 gig iirc. | 01:18 |
| jrib | lesce: what happens when you revert the gnome-terminal settings to default? | 01:18 |
| papashou | yes, sub cool; `service iptables status` | 01:18 |
| lesce | jrib, same thing | 01:18 |
| ash_ | i wanted to know did somebody try MACUBUNTU or blackubuntu? | 01:18 |
| subcool | papashou, unrecognized command | 01:18 |
| jeep | Dark-Magician-Gi: make a /home partition of 180 gig and / partition the rest | 01:18 |
| ClientAlive | fluzio: got it man. Thank you. (I did do a chown user:user /etc/.bash_aliases though) | 01:19 |
| jeep | Dark-Magician-Gi: keeping /home seperate partition will allow you to keep files and such easily | 01:19 |
| lesce | jrib, the weired part is the process appears to be zsh if I ps aux it .. but the prompt is exactly as the bash prompt | 01:19 |
| lesce | it works if I run zsh manualy | 01:19 |
| Dark-Magician-Gi | Those are the only 3 roots I need to worry about then? | 01:20 |
| lesce | the prompt changes to my zsh prompt | 01:20 |
| jrib | lesce: what exactly happens when you start gnome-terminal? | 01:20 |
| jeep | Dark-Magician-Gi: only root / | 01:20 |
| DeSantis | - | 01:21 |
| papashou_ | subcool: you've got nfs-server installed right? | 01:21 |
| jeep | Dark-Magician-Gi: there are many ways to do partitions for different goals however the one i just gave you will be fine for a desktop user | 01:21 |
| Grivvel | Does anyone know why I might be missing an audio-in device that's actually there? Is there any way to see where it's being lost? | 01:21 |
| Dark-Magician-Gi | What should I choose for filesystem? For my xp installation it says the filesystem is ntfs but that isn't an option in the filesystem meny. | 01:21 |

| === papashou_ is now known as papashou | ||
| lesce | jrib, chsh | 01:23 |
| jeep | Dark-Magician-Gi: grub is the boot loader putting it on /dev/sda will allow you to pick windows or linux when you boot | 01:23 |
| lesce | jrex, echo $SHELL -> /bin/zsh | 01:23 |
| Dark-Magician-Gi | Okay. | 01:23 |
| lesce | jrib, echo $SHELL -> /bin/zsh | 01:23 |
| papashou | OK and you're able to ping the NFS server from the client trying to mount it? | 01:23 |
| jrib | lesce: what you just pastebinned doesn't show an instance of bash running... | 01:24 |
| jeep | Dark-Magician-Gi: its one of the next future steps of the installer | 01:24 |
| subcool | papashou, pings are rejected, but- im ssh'ed in | 01:24 |
| lesce | jrib, that's weired about it | 01:24 |
| Dark-Magician-Gi | Okay, I'm going to go give it a try now. | 01:24 |
| subcool | papashou, good point- whats the port? | 01:24 |
| lesce | jrib, the prompt is exactly like the bash prompt | 01:24 |
| jrib | lesce: well... check if it's zsh with your bash prompt | 01:24 |
| lesce | jrib, you can see the promp changes when I run zsh | 01:25 |
| papashou | hfs ports i recall are 111 and 2049 | 01:25 |
| placek | How safe is GTK orphan? | 01:25 |
| lesce | jrib, so there shouldn't be any problem with loading the oh_my_zsh theme | 01:25 |
| subcool | papashou, let me see if opening them up helps | 01:25 |
| jrib | lesce: I don't care about the theme at the moment. I care about whether you are running zsh or not | 01:25 |
| subcool | papashou, that may have worked :) | 01:26 |
| papashou | ya? ports issue? | 01:26 |
| subcool | i just ran the mount command, and it went right back to prompt | 01:26 |
| subcool | running df -h now on clent | 01:26 |
| papashou | ok so do a 'df -h' | 01:26 |
| papashou | should show remote client, etc | 01:27 |
| subcool | YEP!!! | 01:27 |
| subcool | u rock!!! | 01:27 |
| skroot | im running a pptp server on my ubuntu box. how do i login from windows, what username format? | 01:27 |
| subcool | totally forgot about my firewall | 01:27 |
| lesce | jrib, yes it's running | 01:27 |

| papashou | it'll be visible to any client able to mount NFS | 01:28 |
| papashou | yeah that's probably permission at that point | 01:29 |
| subcool | but did that cog something fix that? | 01:29 |
| papashou | need +x on every directory leading up to it | 01:29 |
| jrib | lesce: why? .zshrc won't get executed for login shells unless you call it from ~/.zprofile (or similar) | 01:29 |
| subcool | what do u mean leading up to it? | 01:29 |
| papashou | means if /directoryA/directoryB/directoryC is the one you want to share | 01:30 |
| papashou | and directoryC has ugo+x but directoryB and directoryA does not, it will not work | 01:30 |
| subcool | thats annoying- these folders are huge- | 01:30 |
| papashou | directoryA/B/C all need to have the "+x" (execute) permission set for O (or the user/group in question) | 01:30 |
| subcool | they are my archives | 01:30 |
| GTRsdk | iirc, you had to go to something like "Printing" to get to that program... anyone know the name of it? | 01:30 |

| jrib | ClientAlive: I just create the profiles by hand (have you read the documentation?) | 01:34 |
| ClientAlive | can if follow symlinks if I make a directory and just link to to those file in that directory? | 01:34 |
| joejack | anyone want to help me troubleshoot my wireless/ | 01:34 |
| subcool | papashou, since i need EVERYTHIGN in /media accessable, should i just do chmod +x *.* | 01:34 |
| papashou | a "chmod +x" only makes owner executable | 01:35 |
| ClientAlive | jrib: not entirely. (I really struggle to do so much reading - I'm a hands on guy) :( | 01:35 |
| papashou | NFSD may need Other (world) executable | 01:35 |

| jrib | ClientAlive: you can | 01:37 |
| bkc_ | Eddie11: you need to add a few lines to .asoundrc... w8 a sec and I'll upload mine... | 01:37 |
| ClientAlive | jfib: oh yeah, I have that page open - just hard for me to understand anything by the time I read all of it (this is a problem for me and is why come asking people around for help to just do it). | 01:38 |

| ash_ | :P | 01:38 |
| bkc_ | Eddie11: any linux-dist using alsa* | 01:38 |
| ClientAlive | jrib: sounds like I need to look at how to create these profiles by hand then. | 01:39 |
| Eddie11 | bkc_, Yeah I though it might be alsa pulse problem but i'll check that | 01:39 |
| === placek is now known as utops | ||
| jrib | ClientAlive: start with one of the "sample profiles" in the documentation, understand each line, then add and subtract to it | 01:40 |
| bkc_ | ooh... you have pulse installed? then you should use pulseaudios setup... | 01:40 |
| ClientAlive | that sounds like a good approach for me. thx | 01:40 |

| Iron | hello, did i get any replies to my problem, with the computer that freezes on shutdown? | 01:47 |
| NicolasCage | Hi, my screen flickers for a second and everything becomes slow. | 01:48 |
| Eddie11 | Anyone know how to enable sound card? I have a audigy sound card with Ubuntu 10.04 OS arecord -l sees card as well as aplay -l? | 01:48 |
| Bizman | hi everyone | 01:49 |
| Bizman | hi funkyb | 01:50 |
| funkyb | is it possible to do a real iinstall ubuntu to a usb stick (v3, 32GB), i.e. not a LIVE USB + persistance? Also, does doing so risk screwing up the bootloader of the machine you use to do this? | 01:50 |
| funkyb | hi Bizman | 01:50 |
| Bizman | this is my first time | 01:50 |
| Bizman | using this | 01:50 |
| xangua | funkyb: just select to install in the usb stick | 01:51 |
| Eddie11 | Anyone know how to enable sound card? I have a audigy sound card with Ubuntu 10.04 OS arecord -l sees card as well as aplay -l? | 01:51 |
| wilee-nilee | funkyb, Yes it is possible and safe if you use the something else option and make sure the grub bootloader is pointed at the usb's mbr. | 01:52 |
| funkyb | Will doing so screw up the boot loader of the desktop (Win 7 machine) that i use for this process? The whole purpose is to have a 'portable' usb ubuntu, with large persistance, that is not a ramdisc. | 01:52 |
| Iron | How do I stop ubuntu from freezing when i shut down? | 01:52 |
| funkyb | ok, wilee-nilee, I will (nervously) give it a shot | 01:52 |
| wilee-nilee | funkyb, persistance is a termed used with a ISO Load as well. | 01:52 |
| NicolasCage | is it a good idea to use an external hard drive for a linux long-term linux (kubuntu) installation? | 01:52 |
| jeep | funkyb: pay attetntion which drive is what | 01:53 |
| jeep | NicolasCage: for storage or the whole os ? | 01:53 |
| funkyb | jeep, agreed, although i'm not sure I'll be 100% clear on what I'm looking for, and where to find it. I vaguely recall an "advanced" button in the partitioner that allows grub options. | 01:53 |
| funkyb | been a few... | 01:53 |
| NicolasCage | I have no internal hdd now, its an old IDE connection and cant buy any in the shops. jeep: for my main OS. | 01:53 |
| wilee-nilee | NicolasCage, It will run slower the transfer of the data unless it is a usb3 will be slower then an internal, even a usb3 I believe is slightly slower. | 01:54 |
| NicolasCage | Hmm, well I know what you mean wilee-nilee, I am running this installation off a USB disk now, but I want a more permanent solution. It s quite slow as it is alright. usb 2.0 | 01:55 |
| Iron | NicolasCage, in my opinion. It is NOT a bad idea. Just keep in mind that it will technically be a bit slower than sata 2 or 3 internal decent hdd. | 01:55 |
| jeep | NicolasCage: it will work .. just be slow | 01:55 |
| wilee-nilee | funkyb, The advanced option is called something else at the where to put ubuntu gui, this is a manul install, ask questions if needed once you get there. | 01:55 |
| Iron | try it out, if it's not too slow for you, then all is good. | 01:55 |
| Iron | why does my computer freeze on the shutting down screen | 01:56 |
| NicolasCage | also, these external drives in the shop. even if it says windows only, still could I not just use it for a linux install? | 01:56 |
| Iron | Yes, you will reformat and repartition the drives to what linux likes (ext 4, root, home etc whatever you need). | 01:57 |
| Iron | I mean, Repartition and reformat. | 01:57 |
| NicolasCage | okay Iron thanks. I just dont want to waste 150 euro on this, and find out it's not along term solution. this 16gb usb is getting old. 67% used now, rofl. | 01:58 |
| Iron | It might be a good idea to do the following: Have a partition formatted to NTFS, that way, you can copy data to the driver using windows and still access it with linux. Keep in mind the NTFS partition will only be usd to store stuff between windows and linux, all other linux data and user stuff should be on ext4 or ext3 partitions. | 01:58 |
| Iron | You could consider getting a 64GB usb instead. | 01:58 |
| Iron | or an external ssd. | 01:59 |
| NicolasCage | But a magnetic disk drive is better isn't it, for long term? | 01:59 |
| NicolasCage | I've heard these USB drives start to go into RAW mode, reformatting themselves. | 01:59 |
| wilee-nilee | solid state and disc drives now have the same lifetimes | 01:59 |
| Iron | If you are talking about drives dying, SSDs that have an os that supports TRIM, will last long enough until your next upgrade. | 02:00 |
| NicolasCage | hmm. | 02:00 |
| Iron | i.e. 10 years is about average | 02:00 |
| linus | all drives fail eventaully it is guaranteed | 02:00 |
| NicolasCage | 10 years for a usb stick @ iron? | 02:00 |
| Iron | well, the 1000 rewrites is only complete rewrites of that section, they tend to cheat a little. | 02:00 |
| GraemeLion | Most USB sticks will likely last less | 02:00 |
| Iron | Just don't do a full format on an SSD, or you will literally cook it. | 02:00 |
| Iron | either way, you should get at least 2 years (if less, warranty) on a good quality USB. | 02:01 |
| NicolasCage | lol. what? I have formatted it many times. | 02:01 |
| Iron | quick format or full format? | 02:01 |
| NicolasCage | quick I think | 02:01 |
| Iron | yeah quick is fine | 02:01 |
| NicolasCage | I'm not sure. | 02:01 |
| Iron | it's the default | 02:01 |
| bazhang | Iron, NicolasCage take the hardware talk to ##hardware or #ubuntu-offtopic please | 02:01 |
| Iron | alright, I'll talk in offtopic | 02:02 |
| Iron | anyway, simply put: Provided you get a good enough quality, it will last long enough. That's the last I'll say | 02:03 |

| bawf | no | 03:07 |

| bawf | I don't wanna waste my time if it's done somewhere | 03:09 |
| MonkeyDust | bawf you can submit the idea in !brainstorm | 03:09 |

| lotuspsychje | howto fix a corrupt square mouse pointer every cold boot on precise 12.04.1 clean installed | 05:03 |
| crimsonmane | lotuspsychje: from synaptic, i would locate the mouse and mark for reinstallation. | 05:04 |
| lotuspsychje | crimsonmane:i dont think its a mouse problem,cause 'nomodeset' add to grub fixes this | 05:04 |
| subcool | ClientAlive, let me know if it worked- i dont get the man of SCP - so i found that formula and have saved it so i can use it when i need. It works for me great- but ONLY if i use that formula. every time i try to read the man and make it work- i f' it up. | 05:05 |

| kyan | Hi.. I just upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04 (from 10.10) and itś really confusing -- I have a bunch of questions. 1. How do I set the icon theme? 2. How do I get the old Dvorak International layout back (it seems to have been removed)? 3. How do I install KDE programs in Synaptic -- it says theyŕe all broken? 4. How do I fix the ugly font rasterization? | 05:38 |
| kyan | Thanks. | 05:38 |
| kyan | Iḿ sure some more will come to mind .. :P | 05:38 |
| lotuspsychje | !unity | kyan | 05:38 |
| ubottu | kyan: Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity | 05:38 |
| jagginess | kyan, i'd google :) | 05:38 |
| jagginess | kyan, here.. | 05:38 |
| lotuspsychje | kyan:synaptic has been removed by default, you can still install | 05:39 |
| kyan | lotuspsychje: Iǘe read quite a bit about Unity. None of my qusetions are related to Unity (Iḿ quite happy with Unity, itś really what I upgraded for) | 05:39 |
| kyan | lotuspsychje: I installed Synaptic from Ubuntu Software Centre since I couldn figure out how to use the Software Centre easily. | 05:39 |
| kyan | lotuspsychje: Synaptic says that I have over 100 broken packages when I read my markings from my old system. | 05:40 |
| lotuspsychje | kyan:its recommended to clean install precise 12.04.1 | 05:40 |
| bawf | Is there a way to batch install fonts? | 05:40 |
| lotuspsychje | bawf: you can try apt-cache search fonts then install? | 05:41 |
| kyan | lotuspsychje: I installed from the CD image downloaded via Bittorrent. I formatted the partition for it freshly, but I used the old swap space. | 05:41 |
| lotuspsychje | kyan:ah so it isnt an upgrade really | 05:41 |
| jagginess | kyan, swapon -s<enter> see if there's one being used.. if not add it to /etc/fstab | 05:41 |
| kyan | jagginess: I don really need swap (Iǘe got 3GiB ram) | 05:42 |
| kyan | jagginess; And yes it is using swap. | 05:42 |
| jagginess | kyan, maybe you don't, but in the past i would get a stall if i didnt use one. | 05:42 |
| jagginess | hmm | 05:43 |
| kyan | jagginess: Ok, thanks. It seems to be working though | 05:43 |
| kyan | jagginess: The four questions I listed first are currently the most pressing though. | 05:43 |
| kyan | jagginess: Also, why does X chat no longer have a scroll bar? | 05:43 |
| kyan | or any scroll bars for that matter? | 05:44 |
| jagginess | dunno, you'll have to toy around with it.. it all depends on what you like.. unfortunately i don't use unity.. | 05:44 |
| jagginess | or maybe fortunately :) heeheh | 05:44 |
| kyan | Well it looks like therś no option under settings for scroll bars. | 05:44 |
| jagginess | dunno, you'll have to toy around with it.. | 05:45 |
| jagginess | i think very few people in here actually like unity.. | 05:45 |
| kyan | jagginess: I like Unity. the menu bar search and global menu thing seem easy. | 05:45 |
| jagginess | i think unity is good for newcomers and touchscreens.. | 05:45 |

| paulus68_ | #acer-liquid | 05:46 |
| jagginess | there are better apps that do search and menu search, (there are a few very good ones) | 05:46 |
| kyan | jagginess: Well I don really understand the desktop lenses thing (I like Strigi/Nepomuk/Soprano for desktop search), but I like the menu search still. | 05:47 |
| jagginess | kyan, well if the gfx effects don't stall on you.. then that's good.. but you should know it's the ideal gfx driver isn't always ideal/optimized for the average user.. | 05:47 |
| * jagginess hopes valve's gfx coding efforts will change X drivers for the good | 05:47 | |

| lotuspsychje | like/unlike talk to #ubuntu-offtopic | 05:48 |
| kyan | lotuspsychje: Ok, thanks | 05:48 |
| kyan | sorry for the noise | 05:48 |
| jagginess | it's not offtopic.. | 05:48 |
| kyan | jagginess: in a support channel it is XD | 05:48 |
| jagginess | he's actually using unity, and i'm buzzing i don't use it.. so if anyone uses it, maybe they can shed some light on what he wants to od.. | 05:49 |
| kyan | jagginess: Well, itś not Unity thatś giving me problems. Itś the package management | 05:49 |
| jagginess | synaptic? | 05:49 |
| kyan | jagginess: Both Synaptic and Aptitude aren resolving dependencies correctly.. | 05:50 |
| jagginess | use the update-manager gui app in the menu.. update the indexes with it (it'll update sources.list) | 05:50 |
| lotuspsychje | kyan:you could try ubuntu-tweak to sort many things out | 05:51 |
| jagginess | (i mean it's able to update sources.list if you choose more repos, but it also updates the local indexes of avail packages) | 05:51 |
| piercedwater | hi | 05:51 |
| jagginess | kyan, also be careful from outdated and dangerous ppa's.. be very decisive with ppa's. | 05:52 |
| kyan | jagginess: Updated lists; still not working | 05:52 |
| kyan | jagginess: I imported my ppas from the old install. I then read the saved markings, installed the software, then disabled the ppas. | 05:53 |
| kyan | jagginess: All I have enabled now is the main section | 05:53 |
| jagginess | kyan, you said you updated? it doesn't hurt to add the previous ubuntu repos you had before, in case you use an application whose libraries are obsoleted | 05:53 |
| kyan | jagginess: ok 1 min | 05:53 |
| kyan | lotuspsychje: How do I do that? I have Ubuntu Tweak installed | 05:54 |

| jagginess | kyan, btw-- apt-cache policy <packagename> , shows extra info from which repository | 05:54 |
| jagginess | kyan, you using nothing wild, like-- you really are using ubuntu and not mixing it with debian repos i hope | 05:54 |

| jagginess | kyan, looks a bit dangerous to use maverick ppa's on 12.04 (you should check each ppa and see) | 06:00 |
| kyan | jagginess: oh maybe. Well most of the PPAs are disabled anyway. I just used them to install stuff, then disabled them | 06:00 |
| jagginess | kyan, as i said, apt-cache policy shows the repo.. | 06:00 |
| RocketScience | i tried to do sudo -i and i got the error -bash: export: '=": not a valid identifier and then the same error with '/root/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin' | 06:01 |
| RocketScience | my bashrc file is normal... I deleted my edits and its still giving me the error | 06:01 |
| jagginess | RocketScience, that's more bash related | 06:02 |
| jagginess | RocketScience, /root/bin ? | 06:02 |
| kyan | jagginess: apt-cache policy output: http://pastebin.com/K0XwUnrF | 06:03 |
| RocketScience | thats the error it gave me. No clue why its doing itt now | 06:03 |
| jagginess | kyan, ahem | 06:03 |
| jagginess | kyan, the package that is problematic, you can do-> apt-cache policy <packagename> to show which repository it's coming from | 06:03 |
| kyan | jagginess: ohhh, I get it. Thanks. | 06:05 |
| kyan | jagginess: Itś coming from the official precise-updates | 06:05 |

| LorSamPau_w | hey guys, i'm trying to turn off automatic disk check in ubuntu after turning off the power... changing 1 to 0 in fstab - didn't help | 06:30 |
| jamster | I have an external 500gb hard drive formatted in ext3 and I want to resize it for ubuntu install does it need to be proceeding or following free space so when I boot from it from my netbook it reconizes it or does it not matter? | 06:31 |
| kyan | is there a way to run a command without a terminal (à la the run command window in maverick?) | 06:31 |
| LorSamPau_w | kyan, alt+f2 | 06:32 |
| SwedeMike | jamster: the installer will most likely offer to resize the existing partition, so you can let it do it while installing. | 06:32 |
| kyan | LorSamPau_w: cool, thanks! | 06:33 |
| jamster | well SwedeMike I am not exactly installing it the normal way | 06:33 |
| Robert123 | hello | 06:33 |
| jamster | so which would be best? | 06:33 |
| jamster | it is from ddrescue SwedeMike | 06:33 |
| Robert123 | I upgraded to ubuntu 12.04 and now my system tray is missing and ubuntu is restarting to fix that, but that does not help. How do i get my system tray back? | 06:35 |
| SwedeMike | jamster: ubuntu should be able to boot from anywhere on a 500 gig drive, so if you need to resize it it's going to be a lot easier to shrink the existing partition. | 06:35 |
| jamster | okay if it works both ways does choosing one over the other effect speed? SwedeMike | 06:37 |
| SwedeMike | jamster: It shouldn't really. | 06:38 |
| push | hello trying to update /etc/hosts in a shell script \/ia sudo . but it wont work. | 06:38 |
| jamster | how about ddrescue two partitions do I have to make two separate partitions or will it go in the target partition without it being separate? | 06:39 |
| jamster | the drive I am cloning has two partitions | 06:39 |
| Robert123 | hello, can anyone help me to get my system tray back? Panels are completely missing. | 06:51 |

There are all kinds of issues I'd like to correct and hoping there is something I can use to tweek it. 12.04 | 08:02 |
| auronandace | GeekAdmin: its entirely dependant on your graphics card | 08:03 |

| MacDhuibh | Eh, I use 2d =P | 08:07 |
| auronandace | GeekAdmin: yes, anyone can use unity if they wish | 08:08 |
| MacDhuibh | Can't remember why i switched from xfce | 08:08 |
| GeekAdmin | hehe | 08:08 |
| GeekAdmin | To each their own. I'm not trying to put anyone down for using Unity or anything. I just didnt think it was very popular | 08:09 |
| GeekAdmin | popular amount experienced Linux users that is | 08:09 |

| raven | some problems with virtual desktop environment via tightvncserver - heavy rights problems with encrypted home-folder - help please | 08:12 |
| susundbe1g | raven: you need to describe your question little more precise so if somebody knows about the issue can help. Like write what you want to do and what is the problem | 08:17 |
| raven | susundbe1g randomly skype and xchat crashes at the same time with kind of message "e/a-error" does not seem a hardware problem so i think its a rights problem with the encrypted home folder. i am running some other apps via sux on a user withou encrypted home and there it seems to run well. in addidion to that kdenlive shows the hardware tuner only via root and sudo nethogs shows the vnc-traffic as unknown pid and unknown device | 08:19 |
| susundbe1g | i am just guessing but i would say that xchat does not crash ' | 08:21 |
| raven | susundbe1g and now i have no rights to write via nano into my home | 08:21 |
| susundbe1g | randomly' if there is major problem with file permissions, since i would guess it reads all stuff on startup | 08:21 |
| raven | anything is messed up with the rights | 08:21 |
| hoyang | too many console-kit-daemon thread, how to remove this program? or, what is this program doing? | 08:22 |
| hoyang | help | 08:22 |
| susundbe1g | raven: well yeah that sounds like real problem, what does ls -lah $HOME say? you can change ownership of a directory with chown -R my-user: target_directory | 08:22 |
| ActionParsnip | raven: are you the owner of the entire $HOME dir? | 08:23 |
| hoyang | program location is /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon | 08:23 |
| raven | susundbe1g obviously its the right user | 08:24 |
| raven | ActionParsnip it seems that i am the owner yes | 08:24 |
| xnixan_ | Hi, i forgot what was the name of the tool previous to software center, what was it? | 08:25 |
| ActionParsnip | raven: you can check with: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME | 08:25 |
| ActionParsnip | xnixan_: synaptic maybe | 08:25 |
| xnixan_ | ActionParsnip, yep :) | 08:25 |

| Kentos | o/ | 08:27 |
| raven | ok the command succeeded | 08:27 |
| raven | how to verify? | 08:27 |
| ActionParsnip | raven: try do what you were doing before.... | 08:27 |
| susundbe1g | raven: try to nano the file that editing failed earlier? | 08:27 |
| raven | ActionParsnip susundbe1g no change | 08:29 |
| ActionParsnip | raven: nano seems to have an issue with running with sudo, it changes the ownership of ~/.nano_history to roor:$USER which only means that when you run it you get a warning | 08:29 |
| raven | yes i deleted it but it does not work | 08:29 |
| Kentos | you deleted what? | 08:30 |
| raven | the .nano_hist | 08:30 |
| raven | because that appeared as root in ls -la | 08:31 |
| susundbe1g | mhh, after 'sudo chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME' that should not be the case | 08:32 |
| raven | top | 08:32 |
| raven | and xtightvnc seems to run as the right user too | 08:32 |
| ActionParsnip | raven: are you VNCing, then running a terminal on the desktop? | 08:35 |
| raven | yes but i could do external too | 08:35 |
| raven | nevessary? | 08:35 |
| raven | c | 08:35 |
| ActionParsnip | raven: why not just install openssh-server then connect via SSH, you don't need the full desktop to do CLI stuff. It wil also be faster and use drastically fewer resources | 08:36 |
| raven | ActionParsnip i do already but i need to run some graphical apps on the machine too | 08:37 |
| ActionParsnip | raven: you can run GUI apps via SSH too, they will be running on the server bu appear on the client system, much like citrix :) | 08:38 |
| ActionParsnip | raven: or do the CLI stuff via ssh and then run the gui stuff via vnc | 08:39 |
| raven | ActionParsnip nooo the apps need to run when i am not connected too | 08:39 |

| tacirus | Hello folks, I`v got a strange issue with Compiz. Just as I press the shortcut keys to activate "toggle filter" effect, my windows get stuck. Does anybody know what the trouble is? | 09:09 |
| lewis | why the windows installer is limited as far as allocating hard drive space for ubuntu goes | 09:09 |

| MagnusBS | Got a problem with my wireless, only getting 1mbit of 12mbit, dont know why (fresh on ubuntu). | 09:14 |
| ActionParsnip | lewis: wubi loop mounts the disk file, then boots it rather than using a true partition | 09:15 |
| lewis | ok i see | 09:15 |
| lewis | thanks | 09:15 |
| ActionParsnip | MagnusBS: can you pastebin the output of: sudo lshw -C network; lsb_release -a; uname -a; sudo rfkill list | 09:15 |
| ActionParsnip | MagnusBS: also, do you dual boot? | 09:15 |
| lewis | ActionParsnip: is it possible to install it using an external hd | 09:15 |
| ActionParsnip | lewis: sure, you'll just need a small partition on it to put the ISO on using unetbootin and it will boot | 09:16 |
| lewis | hmm | 09:16 |
| lewis | sounds complicated | 09:16 |
| ActionParsnip | lewis: you can resize NTFS in Windows7 easily | 09:17 |

| MagnusBS | Put this line in terminal: echo "options ath9k nohwcrypt=1" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf > /dev/null | 09:23 |
| MagnusBS | ? | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip | lewis: if your data is important, you will have made a backup in case of catastrophe | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip | MagnusBS: yes, its a single command. Reboot to test | 09:23 |
| fidel | lewis: the backups everyone SHOULD do in case he feels his files are somehow worth something ;) | 09:23 |
| joobie | guys | 09:24 |
| joobie | does ubuntu handle GPT installs | 09:24 |
| joobie | YES or NO | 09:24 |
| ActionParsnip | joobie: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#BIOS.2BAC8-GPT_Notes | 09:24 |
| ActionParsnip | joobie: source: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=ubuntu+handle+GPT+installs too hard? | 09:24 |
| joobie | ok | 09:25 |
| joobie | so why doesnt the grub install handle this | 09:25 |
| ActionParsnip | joobie: ask in #grub | 09:25 |
| gordonjcp | joobie: why would it? | 09:25 |
| joobie | its not really a grub issue | 09:25 |
| joobie | the partitoin could be created by ubuntu | 09:26 |
| * ActionParsnip doesn't even know what gpt is, but managed to find some information....weird that | 09:26 | |
| gordonjcp | joobie: if your OS disk is larger than 4TB, you're doing something wrong | 09:26 |
| joobie | gordonjcp, why? | 09:27 |
| joobie | .. given you can buy a 4TB 3.5" disk, i think you are living in the past | 09:28 |
| ActionParsnip | gordonjcp: we have a company using doubletake to a 5Tb SAN, works well :) | 09:28 |
| Iron|2 | You know, I remember ubuntu causing me eyestrain, it isn't causing me eyestrain in this version (12.04). What was changed to ubuntu that resulted in this? | 09:28 |
| fidel | Iron|2: i doubt we can answer what might have caused eestrain for YOU in the past ;) | 09:28 |
| fidel | reverse logic | 09:29 |
| Iron|2 | it was specifically ubuntu, I think 11.10? | 09:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Iron|2: later drivers, later xorg version maybe | 09:29 |
| crizis | just.. lulz | 09:29 |
| Iron|2 | probably. | 09:29 |
| fidel | could be everything and nothing | 09:29 |
| Iron|2 | specifically ubuntu though, as soon as I looked at it, instant headache, now it's fine... so weird. | 09:29 |
| brainiarc7 | Who has ever compiled mesa on Ubuntu from scratch and succeeded? | 09:31 |
| billc | i would like to connect a belkin home base control center | 09:32 |
| Iron|2 | billc, is it a driver issue or a configuration issue? | 09:32 |
| joobie | wats a belkin control center do? | 09:32 |
| gordonjcp | joobie: I have a couple of 4TB disks; I'm not so stupid as to try to boot off them | 09:33 |
| billc | it makes lan printers appear wireless, think it is driver | 09:33 |
| krababbel | joobie: even windows doesn't really support it, backup is screwed | 09:33 |
| ActionParsnip | billc: can you ping the device's IP? | 09:33 |
| Iron|2 | did you set it up properly on the network? has it worked before? | 09:34 |
| billc | it works in windows 7 | 09:34 |
| ActionParsnip | billc: doesn't answer the question? | 09:35 |
| joobie | krababbel, windows is shit | 09:35 |
| billc | can't get to it in ubuntu | 09:35 |
| joobie | krababbel, centos / rhel supports it | 09:35 |
| joobie | gordonjcp, i can boot off mine.. | 09:36 |
| ActionParsnip | billc: can you ping the device from Ubuntu? | 09:36 |
| joobie | just had to plug the holes with ubuntu installer | 09:36 |
| joobie | in order to do so | 09:36 |
| billc | give me the inst please | 09:36 |
| joobie | but given 2TB+ disks are common these days, it shouldnt be so hard for ubuntu to install on this config | 09:36 |
| fidel | billc: could you at least try to use full sentences? | 09:36 |
| fidel | it might help us understand YOU ;) | 09:37 |
| ActionParsnip | billc: I am asking you a question, if you don't reply to people's questions with the details requested we cannot help you | 09:37 |
| adekto | i cant get my wireles logitech k360 to work on ubuntu | 09:37 |
| billc | sorru the instruction to ping the belkin control center | 09:37 |
| crizis | http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html | 09:37 |
| ActionParsnip | billc: yes, can you ping it's IP? | 09:37 |
| fidel | billc: open a terminal & enter: ping DE.VI.CE.IP | 09:38 |
| krababbel | ping it | 09:38 |
| ActionParsnip | fidel: you do know s/he'll probably just run that exact command ;) | 09:38 |
| fidel | ActionParsnip: hehe | 09:38 |
| ActionParsnip | billc: you need to find out the device's IP and try and ping it, does it respond? | 09:38 |
| fidel | billc: where you replace DE.VI.CE.Ip with the IP-number configured for that specific device | 09:38 |
| billc | how do i find the ip address | 09:39 |
| fidel | this command will tell us if you can reach it via your network using simple icmp-echo-requests | 09:39 |
| ActionParsnip | billc: you can check your routers IP list, or consult your windows install. The printer port will tell you in the printer properties | 09:40 |

| MagnusBS | Well, the command to fix my internet speed did not work out. So I posted an new topic on ubuntu forums under networking & wireless in hope that someone out there can help me. I also have another problem | 10:00 |
| T|ASK | Hi, does anyone know a source with game modding tools for Linux. Especially Steam's Source engine related decompiling tools? | 10:01 |
| gdane1 | hi | 10:01 |
| MagnusBS | Im running ubuntu on 120gb SSD disk, I have 3 other HDD in my pc. I can only connect two of the HDD, when I connect my third HDD ubuntu wont load, stuck on the purple screen in the boot proccess. | 10:02 |
| gordonjcp | T|ASK: not yet, but they do use Linux internally | 10:02 |
| gordonjcp | T|ASK: wait until Steam and Source are released for Linux, Real Soon Now... | 10:02 |
| gdane1 | does spp bluetooth keyboard work with ubuntu? | 10:02 |
| T|ASK | gordonjcp: ok, so there is no decomiling tool right now? Because I wanted to mod something before they come out with Steam for Linux | 10:03 |
| gdane1 | i have hp foundable one and it connects vie bluetooth adapter, but i cant type by this keyboard | 10:03 |
| gdane1 | this isnt hid keyboard | 10:03 |
| dr_willis | MagnusBS: hit esc. or use tect mode to look at any errormessages | 10:04 |
| T|ASK | gordonjcp: As I see it, I would also need the Steam SDK for Linux... ok, that's what breaks my quetion | 10:04 |
| MagnusBS | hit esc when its stuck on the purple screen? | 10:04 |
| dr_willis | yes | 10:04 |
| dr_willis | or | 10:04 |
| dr_willis | ! text | 10:04 |
| ubottu | To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 10:04 |

| rigo | what command is used to backup (and restore) the whole / root filesystem? | 10:10 |
| MonkeyDust | rigo you can use rsync --progress from to | 10:11 |
| dr_willis | ! backup | 10:11 |
| ubottu | There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 10:11 |
| rigo | gosh thanks :) | 10:11 |
| dr_willis | its all about the details.. where storing the backup. how often. how to restore... and more | 10:12 |
| ActionParsnip | rigo: its a bit more than a single command | 10:13 |
| rigo | only "one-time" manual backup, i just dont want to begin from 0 if i ruin something. so if i do something what works fine, i do a backup and delete the previous bakcup. if something goes shitty i restore the last good version. :) | 10:14 |
| MagnusBS | Im now in the grub menu, what should i look for here? | 10:14 |
| troulouliou_dev | Hi i installed lxde + lxdm on an old laptop runnin under ubuntu ; when the computer boots , i have a black screen . I have to pus the standby button then resume to have access to lxdm | 10:14 |
| MagnusBS | Connected to to mirc at my laptop | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip | troulouliou_dev: why install lxdm when you already had lightdm | 10:15 |
| muh2000 | does ubuntu have an installer that works from CLI? | 10:16 |
| troulouliou_dev | ActionParsnip, softer , prefer that one and remove lots of dependencies too to prevent massive permanent upgrade | 10:16 |
| muh2000 | because the gui installer sucks hard and doesnt install squat. | 10:16 |
| troulouliou_dev | ActionParsnip, any idea to my problem ? | 10:16 |
| dr_willis | !text | 10:16 |
| ubottu | To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 10:16 |
| gdane1 | does ubuntu work with spp bluetooth devices? | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip | muh2000: the default instaleer installs a lot of apps, the mini ISO hardly installs anything | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip | gdane1: I believe so | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip | troulouliou_dev: did you have lightdm installed before? | 10:17 |
| gdane1 | hmm may be u know right manual? | 10:17 |
| muh2000 | ActionParsnip: i asked for a way to install from cli since the gui installer does not work. i did not ask for different flavours... | 10:17 |
| troulouliou_dev | ActionParsnip, yes | 10:17 |
| MagnusBS | In the grub menu i dont have the option to start it with text-only mode | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip | muh2000: its not a different flavour at all, its an installer that installs kernel, boot loader and some package tools | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip | muh2000: no DE, WM, DM etc, just CLI, less than server | 10:18 |
| dr_willis | MagnusBS: read what the bot is saying.. you ADD the 'text' option to the end of a line | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip | muh2000: you can then install what you wish and build the OS up | 10:18 |
| muh2000 | ActionParsnip: yeah but i have ONE ubuntu install image. i have no other ways of installing right now... and all i need is a way to install it. | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip | troulouliou_dev: could try uninstaling lightdm if you aren't going to use it | 10:19 |
| dr_willis | quiet splash becomes - 'quiet splash text' or just 'text' | 10:19 |
| troulouliou_dev | ActionParsnip, done | 10:19 |
| muh2000 | ActionParsnip: please start reading what i wrote... i didnt look for a minimum install. just an alternative for the failing gui installer | 10:19 |
| muh2000 | is that SOOO hard to understand? | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip | muh2000: use the alternate installer then, it installs in text mode but gives a desktop OS | 10:19 |
| muh2000 | ActionParsnip: no access to the alternate installer. | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip | muh2000: did you update ubiquity in the liveCD OS before running it? | 10:20 |
| muh2000 | ActionParsnip: no? | 10:20 |
| muh2000 | why would i do that? | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip | muh2000: so it's the latest version before you run it, obviously | 10:21 |
| muh2000 | ActionParsnip: well duh but shouldnt any version be sufficient? i figure since they released the livecd of the LTS .... | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip | muh2000: there may be updates which fix issues, its worth doing | 10:22 |
| muh2000 | ActionParsnip: well it complains about having not enough space.... well no wonder when it is running in ram... | 10:23 |
| rocket_hamster | hello i did apt-get update and now I cant install libsdl1.2-dev http://pastebin.com/xHckdBgG any ideas please? (lastest ubuntu) | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip | muh2000: when you downloaded the ISO, did you MD5 test it before you used it? | 10:25 |
| epzil0n | hey guys, just a quick question i'm about to install ubuntu and i got 4GB ram and in the past i have always installed a 2GB swap partition if i had 1GB but do i need it when i got 4? | 10:25 |
| bonzo | Hi, I upgraded from 10.04 to 12.04 and now I can't login with 1 user. Log files aren't helping. | 10:25 |
| muh2000 | ActionParsnip: yes | 10:25 |
| epzil0n | and if i need/should have one is it enough with 2GB? | 10:26 |
| bonzo | can anyone tell me where to find why it isn't logging in? | 10:26 |
| jrib | bonzo: you should say what happens when you try | 10:26 |
| bonzo | I insert the password, the screen goes black and then i'm back at the login screen | 10:26 |
| jrib | epzil0n: you should have a swap at least qual to the size of your ram if you want to suspend to disk | 10:26 |
| Mo | Hi, on Live-CD isn't there a sshd server? Is the only way by installing openssh-server? | 10:27 |
| epzil0n | jrib: ah ok, so 4GB it is :P | 10:27 |
| jrib | bonzo: check ~/.xsession-errors (for the user in question) and /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 10:27 |
| MonkeyDust | Mo you have to install it | 10:27 |
| jrib | Mo: not installed by default; yes | 10:27 |
| epzil0n | jrib: thx :) | 10:27 |
| Mo | MonkeyDust: Where does the live cd install stuff? If there some unionfs? | 10:27 |
| MonkeyDust | Mo in /usr/bin/ | 10:28 |
| MonkeyDust | Mo but when you switch off, it's gone | 10:28 |
| Mo | MonkeyDust: So ramdisk? Because fetching all updates would fill my ram then? | 10:28 |
| MonkeyDust | Mo updates will be gone, when you switch off to pc | 10:29 |
| Mo | Anyway my old 9.10 live cd cannot get apt-get update anymore, no sources found. I'll look for a newer live cd, if there are still maintained for ppc. | 10:29 |
| MonkeyDust | Mo start from the beginning, what do you want to do | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | MonkeyDust: Katmic is EOL | 10:31 |
| Mo | I need to repartition my Gentoo-PPC, and the ubuntu live cd was always better stuffed than the gentoo-ppc universal disk. But now I need to ssh into the live cd and I've seen there is no sshd, apt-get install doesn't work. I'll look for a newer one than old 9.10 | 10:31 |
| alpre | Does Ubuntu still use Grub1? | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip | alpre: not anymore by default, it can be used but its not advised | 10:32 |
| alpre | ActionParsnip: thanks | 10:32 |
| dr_willis | an old unsupported release has the repos moved to some 'archive' server. thats why apt-get is failing - the sources.list is out of date | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip | mo: you will need a newer release and you can install openssh-server to get ssh access | 10:33 |
| Mo | Nice, I'll go for quantal-desktop-powerpc.iso thanks.. | 10:33 |
| muh2000 | is there an updated version of the liveCD? | 10:33 |
| apg | I do not think so | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip | mo: its prerelease and may have issues, if you want stable then go for precise. | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip | muh2000: you could try the daily ISO, if one exists | 10:34 |
| muh2000 | hmmm | 10:34 |
| apg | Ubuntu iso is getting bigger in capacity | 10:34 |

| apg | iron: Yes | 10:36 |
| Iron|2 | it worked, but the problem itself is still there | 10:37 |
| Iron|2 | so this is only a workaround, is there any way to fix it? Is it a known issue? | 10:37 |
| bonzo | jrib: There were 2 users, the second one is the one i'm using now and i can login correctly | 10:37 |
| Mo | ActionParsnip: You mean http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/precise/daily-live/current/ is the current stable? | 10:37 |
| apg | Is there anybody here from Indonesia? | 10:38 |
| Eagleman | How do you type more than 3 Hypervisor? | 10:38 |

| Iron|2 | rightclicking presents a menu with 3 options: blank(I mean, there's a space that's blank and highlights), lock, quit. | 10:40 |

| dr_willis | i dont use apachre. so no idea on that. bot mentioned it in several packages | 10:44 |
| Iron|2 | it appears to be working, thanks. | 10:45 |

| Iron|2 | oh, I know what that is | 10:49 |
| m3pow | i have a problem after installing ubuntu | 10:49 |
| Iron|2 | a 32 bit version of ubuntu I would guess | 10:49 |
| gordonjcp | opieng: 64-bit | 10:49 |
| m3pow | 12.04 64 bit on a laptop | 10:49 |
| m3pow | sistem starts good after that it becomes hidiously slow | 10:50 |
| m3pow | any thoughts ? | 10:50 |
| Iron|2 | I don't think the 32 bit version of ubuntu would require pae, it is an optional extension as far as I know. | 10:50 |
| gordonjcp | m3pow: lots of disk access? | 10:50 |
| Iron|2 | maybe you have a virus. | 10:50 |
| m3pow | virus on a fresh installed OS ? | 10:50 |
| gordonjcp | Iron|2: it would if you want more than 4GB | 10:50 |
| m3pow | everything formated | 10:50 |
| gordonjcp | it's not a virus | 10:50 |

| Iron|2 | what are the temperatures, and apg, yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I've experienced it before. | 10:53 |
| Iron|2 | I do | 10:53 |
| ActionParsnip | gordonjcp: there are viruses, just very few :) | 10:53 |
| gordonjcp | ActionParsnip: there are no practical ones | 10:54 |
| apg | you can install psensor for ubuntu in par with realtemp | 10:54 |
| m3pow | i got a 52degree centigrade tem | 10:54 |
| ActionParsnip | gordonjcp: oh absolutely but they are around. There is a Java one which affects linux nowadays | 10:54 |
| ActionParsnip | m3pow: do you use a hybrid video card (Intal and nvidia for example) | 10:55 |
| jrib | bonzo: probably the same as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/583525 . There's some comment there about it possibly being related to xfs (do you have that installed?). If not, then I would suggest renaming most of your config files and slowly naming them back to narrow down the culprit | 10:55 |

| m3pow | because i could not make the damn thing run propertly | 10:57 |
| apg | iron|2: install lm_sensors first | 10:57 |
| m3pow | i got the latest from nvidia website mate ..when i tried to install the linux driver | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | m3pow: there are packages for the drivers, you don't need the nvidia site at all | 10:57 |
| apg | iron|2: then, when lm_sensors installed, try this command: sudo sensors-detect. Then, re-open psensor | 10:58 |
| m3pow | that i did not know as i am relatively new to this | 10:58 |
| bonzo | jrib: xfs is not installed. Which config files should i rename? I already tried Xorg.conf . | 10:58 |
| jrib | bonzo: the ones in your ~ | 10:59 |

| Iron|2 | your ubuntu may simply be trying to patch itself | 11:05 |
| apg | core i5 2410m | 11:05 |
| nicklas | history: not found | 11:05 |

| dr_willis | echo $SHELL | 11:05 |
| nicklas | Just used quick start so no idea. | 11:05 |
| apg | iron|2: yes | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip | apg: maybe its a compiz thing, if yuo log in to the Unity2D session, is it ok? | 11:06 |

| ActionParsnip | md_5|away: because the user can't control that | 11:08 |
| Iron|2 | apg, the second and third gen core series of cpus are capable of running in either integrated or dedicated. Go into your nvidia control panel, find the setting that says graphics processor or something along those lines | 11:09 |
| Iron|2 | force it to use your "high performance" nvidia processor | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip | md_5|away: but reducing excessive and unecessary text helps the channel | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip | md_5|away: its channel policy too, hence the factoid | 11:09 |

| bike | hey. i get a "not authorized" when i try to reboot lubuntu, any clues? | 11:30 |
| Eagleman | update manager? | 11:31 |
| Eagleman | sudo apt-get dist-upgrade worked | 11:31 |
| dinamicex1 | Hi! I'm using gnome classic and I can't see my open windows on the bottom panel. What should I add to the panel? I also didn't saw the 4 rectangles for workspaces but I added them with add to panel. | 11:31 |
| Eagleman | what are those packages? | 11:31 |
| geirha | Eagleman: the kernel, the very core of Ubuntu. | 11:31 |
| Iron|2 | dr willis, isn't that likely to uh, break stuff? | 11:31 |
| dr_willis | !info linux-server | 11:31 |
| ubottu | linux-server (source: linux-meta): Complete Linux kernel on Server Equipment.. In component main, is optional. Version 3.2.0.29.31 (precise), package size 1 kB, installed size 31 kB | 11:31 |
| Iron|2 | I know I did that on an ubuntu once, it upgraded to an unstable version and was uh, unstable. | 11:32 |
| Eagleman | lets hope my pc will reboot | 11:32 |
| dr_willis | kernel related support packages it seems | 11:32 |
| Eagleman | i dont want to troubleshoot for 5 hours aigan | 11:32 |
| dr_willis | sudo apt-get dist-upgrade does not upgrade to the next release | 11:32 |
| Iron|2 | are you trying to set up a server? | 11:32 |
| geirha | Eagleman: The previous kernel will still be installed; you can select it from the grub menu if the new one gives you issues | 11:32 |
| gordonjcp | Iron|2: that's not what "unstable" means | 11:32 |
| Eagleman | well if i do reboot? | 11:32 |
| dr_willis | often kernel packages and a few otheres get 'held' | 11:33 |
| Eagleman | will it be succesfull? | 11:33 |
| gordonjcp | Iron|2: if you are running say Debian Unstable it shouldn't crash | 11:33 |
| Iron|2 | it didn't crash. It was just really ... weird | 11:33 |
| Eagleman | well i am rebooting | 11:33 |
| Eagleman | god bless me... | 11:33 |
| gordonjcp | Iron|2: "Unstable" means that the nature of packages may change at any moment, so don't get used to having the quirks of version 1.0.34.tuesday.lunchtime.6.4.alpha1 | 11:33 |

| Eagleman | How could that happen? | 11:35 |
| geirha | Eagleman: slow connection..? | 11:36 |
| Eagleman | no | 11:36 |
| Eagleman | everything else works fine | 11:36 |
| Eagleman | its just the first login | 11:36 |
| Iron|2 | type free -m | 11:36 |
| Eagleman | what is that? | 11:36 |
| geirha | Eagleman: Specify the username before clicking connect. E.g. username@hostname instead of just hostname | 11:36 |
| Iron|2 | it will say how much ram you have free | 11:36 |
| Eagleman | total used free shared buffers cached | 11:37 |
| Eagleman | Mem: 7898 1100 6797 0 55 332 | 11:37 |
| Iron|2 | is that on your remove server or on your desktop? | 11:37 |
| Eagleman | on my server | 11:37 |
| Iron|2 | yeah, seems fine, it could be what geirha said, your username not being entered properly slowing things down. | 11:37 |
| geirha | it's the next line that shows how much free space you have though | 11:37 |

| Eagleman | what do you mean with log out log in | 11:43 |
| Eagleman | close puty? | 11:43 |
| Iron|2 | also, the reason it says used 7gb, is it means it's caching data to the ram, but if that ram needs to be used for an actual program to run, it is free to be used by an actual program | 11:44 |
| Iron|2 | linux does that to make itself go faster | 11:44 |

| helpme22 | why my ubuntu memory usage keeps growing after a day or two of usage ? | 12:04 |
| fidel | helpme22: this might have several reasons - one might be a buggy app - but we cant tell you that out of the box | 12:05 |
| helpme22 | how about you tell me how to disable the memory cache thing ? | 12:05 |
| fidel | helpme22: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ might be interesting as well ;) | 12:05 |
| Iron|2 | helpme22: you don't want to disable memory cache, it won't hinder performance, only increase it. | 12:05 |
| Pici | dhanasekaran: There are a bunch of things that provide similar services to Landscape, but nothing that I'm aware of that is all integrated together. Things like puppet or nagios. | 12:05 |
| dhanasekaran | Pici, I want push packages server to client , puppet for configuration system, nagios for monitoring system | 12:07 |
| dhanasekaran | Any tools available from packages from server to client | 12:07 |
| helpme22 | Iron|2: if you buy me RAM i won't | 12:07 |
| helpme22 | shippong on you too | 12:07 |

| drecute | where's php source stored on ubuntu server 12.04? | 12:09 |
| drecute | where's php5 source stored on ubuntu server 12.04? | 12:09 |
| jrib | drecute: why? | 12:09 |
| dr_willis | you mean the php5 source code you compile to get php5? | 12:10 |
| drecute | jrib: i want to recompile php5 using the source on ubuntu already | 12:10 |
| jrib | !source | drecute | 12:11 |
| ubottu | drecute: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html | 12:11 |
| jrib | drecute: but I'm still not sure why you would want to do that | 12:11 |
| Pici | dhanasekaran: I can't remember the name of the thing that does that, sorry. I haven't had my caffiene yet today though ;) | 12:11 |
| drecute | meaning I want to run ./configure from that source dir | 12:11 |
| jrib | Pici: chef? (I have no idea what the question is and also just woke-up) | 12:12 |
| dr_willis | drecute: and your end goal is ? | 12:12 |
| drecute | jrib: to recompile with apxs | 12:12 |
| jrib | drecute: right... but what's the point? | 12:12 |
| dr_willis | so the question is 'how to enable apxs on php5' | 12:13 |
| drecute | jrib: to recompile with apxs | 12:13 |
| drecute | dr_willis: yes | 12:13 |
| jrib | drecute: from a quick read of the rules file, it seems to already be build with apxs | 12:15 |
| drecute | jrib: can you show me that file? | 12:16 |
| jrib | drecute: apt-get source php5, then read debian/rules in the php5* directory | 12:16 |
| Layke | I'm reinstalling Ubuntu from my 2TB disk, to my SSD. Any tips for making this go smoothly? dpkg --get-selections > packages.txt... to backup packages. But is there anything else I should think of? | 12:16 |
| Layke | Like configs? I'm not too sure about making sure my configs are kept safe. | 12:16 |
| Iron|2 | backup your /home folder | 12:16 |
| Iron|2 | I don't know how, but that's the first thing to do | 12:16 |
| baizon | deja-dup can backup your home folder | 12:17 |
| Iron|2 | and it looks like it's installed already. | 12:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Layke: configs are stored in hidden folders in $HOME alongside your userdata. You can see them with: ls -a $HOME | 12:18 |
| geirha | Layke: Install them side by side, copy the stuff you need from the old install as you go | 12:18 |
| Iron|2 | Here's a question, can I put my home folder from a partition on my HDD, onto a flash drive and then put another copy of ubuntu onto my flash drive and have both ubuntus share the same /home folder? I don't want details simple yes or no, and also general indication of difficulty. | 12:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Iron|2: sure, just add configs to mount the partition as /home in both | 12:19 |
| Layke | geirha, The bootloader is on my SSD. The 2TB disk that I mistakenly originally installed Ubuntu onto.. will that still be accessible if I wipe the bootloader on the SSD. (I'm 100% sure that it should be right?) | 12:19 |
| Iron|2 | okay, I wil llearn about that later, because as you probably guessed: I intend to do this. | 12:19 |
| geirha | Layke: Yes, you'll be able to boot both systems, because the new install will detect the old and add an entry for that as well | 12:19 |
| Layke | Okay. Well, I shouldn't really need to back anything up then I think. | 12:20 |
| geirha | Layke: But more importantly, you can mount the partitions from the old install on /mnt or similar, and copy out whatever you need | 12:20 |
| Iron|2 | What music players in the ubuntu repository can I use that are less resource intensive than rhythmbox? | 12:20 |
| Iron|2 | I would like as little cpu and ram usage as possible. | 12:20 |
| Layke | I don't intent on touching the 2TB drive for anything. | 12:21 |
| esmirlin | hey guys where can i ask about the coming ubuntu gnome remix 12.10¿ | 12:21 |
| geirha | Layke: It's always a good idea to do backups though | 12:21 |
| Iron|2 | Layke, backing up your /home drive with deja dup should be all you need to use then. | 12:21 |
| Iron|2 | without doing anything too complex | 12:21 |
| Layke | Thinking through, I'm not all to sure what I need to backup to be honest. My git repositories are all that's important mostly. I'll backup /home anyway | 12:21 |
| OerHeks | Iron|2, Quodlibetis a light musicplayer. i am sure there are more. | 12:22 |
| Iron|2 | also, why is synaptic package manager not installed by default? | 12:23 |
| Iron|2 | is there some horrible bug in it? | 12:23 |
| ssta | Iron|2: because it was deemed too "unfriendly" for newbies | 12:23 |
| dr_willis | disk space limitations | 12:23 |
| mevvis_ | gh | 12:23 |
| dr_willis | 700mb iso size.. | 12:23 |
| mevvis_ | and dvd image? | 12:23 |
| Iron|2 | but I'm a newbie | 12:23 |
| dr_willis | had to make room for moar wallpaper | 12:24 |
| dr_willis | dvd release has more languages is all i belive | 12:24 |
| Orpheon | my laptop's ubuntu is behaving strangely | 12:24 |
| OerHeks | Iron|2, if you are a newbie, howecom you know such details? | 12:24 |
| Orpheon | on boot, lightdm cannot start | 12:24 |
| Iron|2 | actually, I agree, it was unfriendly when I first tried... at least it isn't horribly broken | 12:24 |
| Orpheon | Using the backup console to manually "startx" works | 12:24 |
| dr_willis | 12.10 will be on dvd. but i dont think it will be a full 4gb | 12:24 |
| Layke | Cool. Deja backup looks pretty cool. Just so I understand, it stores it against my Ubuntu One account? So it's all cloud based? | 12:24 |
| Iron|2 | I'm not a newbie, I'm a beginner now. I have upgraded. | 12:24 |
| Iron|2 | Layke, you can sore it somewhere else if you want. | 12:25 |
| Orpheon | lightdm log says that lightdm-greeter cannot be executed: Permission denied | 12:26 |
| Orpheon | can anyone help me? | 12:26 |
| Orpheon | :( | 12:26 |
| Iron|2 | did you try, punching it in the face? | 12:27 |
| Orpheon | Iron|2: I tried pretty much everything including that | 12:27 |
| Iron|2 | darn, well I got nothing else | 12:27 |
| Orpheon | sticks don't help either | 12:27 |
| Orpheon | no-one have an idea? | 12:27 |
| gordonjcp | Orpheon: sounds like a damaged installation | 12:28 |
| Orpheon | gordonjcp: the installation was fine before | 12:28 |
| Orpheon | and I don't remember upgrading | 12:28 |
| Orpheon | what could have happened is that I fumbled around with compiz | 12:28 |
| dr_willis | sudo service lightdm start works or not? | 12:28 |
| Orpheon | dr_willis: does the same thing as normal boot | 12:29 |
| Orpheon | aka show a black screen saying Pulseaudio has been started | 12:29 |
| dr_willis | user settings should not be affecting lightdm | 12:29 |
| Orpheon | something about sanet being started | 12:29 |
| Orpheon | I checked the file that it could not exeute because permissions | 12:30 |
| dr_willis | this is messages on the lightdm screen at boot? | 12:30 |
| Orpheon | dr_willis: yes | 12:30 |
| Orpheon | I can't really take a screenshot, sorry | 12:30 |
| Orpheon | do you want the exact lines? | 12:30 |
| dr_willis | cou;ld try a purge/reinstall of lightdm. or try gdm as a test | 12:31 |
| Orpheon | problem is I don't have internet | 12:31 |
| Orpheon | is there any downloadable package I could use? | 12:32 |
| dr_willis | no idea. i always am networked | 12:32 |
| dr_willis | ;) | 12:32 |
| Orpheon | lucky you | 12:32 |
| mevvis_ | just startx | 12:32 |
| dr_willis | so this pc is totaly stand alone and is nevet on the internet? | 12:33 |
| Orpheon | not for a while | 12:33 |
| Orpheon | yes | 12:33 |
| Orpheon | trying to download lightdm deb package on phone right now | 12:33 |
| dr_willis | just have it do a startx as the right user at boot time. ;) | 12:33 |
| Orpheon | that has a few problems | 12:34 |
| dr_willis | i would also fsck the partitions to verify them | 12:34 |
| Orpheon | 1) there's a certain key that disables wifi which can't be pressed during startx | 12:34 |
| Orpheon | 2) Unity2d is the activated | 12:35 |
| Orpheon | 3) My parents will need to use this laptop in some time, and they aren't the type to love typing commands | 12:35 |
| Calinou | Iron|2, it is installed by default in xubuntu though | 12:35 |
| === Kim4x is now known as Tulipe | ||

| Calinou | as a music browser, try gmusicbrowser, it is the default xubuntu music player | 12:36 |
| dr_willis | but you said it dident have internet... or you mean you can ONLY have internet from the gui login first | 12:36 |
| Orpheon | dr_willis: found a lightdm deb package | 12:36 |
| Orpheon | downloading now | 12:36 |
| Orpheon | I'll tell you in a moment the results | 12:36 |

| ryan_ | how do we install nfs world on ubuntu? | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntusr: can you use a pastebin and give the output of: sudo apt-get update | 12:40 |
| dr_willis | nfs world? | 12:40 |
| ubuntusr | sure | 12:40 |
| ryan_ | Yess nfs world | 12:40 |
| dr_willis | !nfs | 12:40 |
| ubottu | nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 12:40 |
| helpme22 | he means the world unauthentic | 12:40 |
| helpme22 | word* | 12:40 |
| ryan_ | ty im checking it ! :D | 12:40 |
| helpme22 | ubuntusr: it's like saying unoffical source | 12:41 |
| dr_willis | no idea how 'world' figures into nfs.... | 12:41 |
| helpme22 | not guaranteed to be c lean from manuplation | 12:41 |
| ubuntusr | http://pastebin.com/c8h3c6LX | 12:41 |
| ActionParsnip | helpme22: probably just added a PPA without the GPG key :) | 12:41 |
| helpme22 | dr_willis: thank you for being stupid | 12:41 |
| helpme22 | go save your country.. smart kid | 12:41 |
| helpme22 | they need somebody like you | 12:41 |
| dr_willis | helpme22: any time. | 12:41 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntusr: what is output after: Reading package lists... Done ? | 12:41 |
| KnoWon | Hey -- anyone want to try something seriously hilarious/exciting? -- THIS IS *NOT* BOTSPAM -- ... PM me for details! | 12:41 |
| ubuntusr | @ActioParsnip: there's no output after that | 12:42 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntusr: ok, can you run: sudo apt-get upgrade does it upgrade without a warning or error? | 12:42 |
| killer_ | is there a tool that i can use to make iso file by using 2 different folders...(like i wanna make iso which contains 2 of the folders in my current directory) | 12:42 |
| Iron|2 | if it's not botspam, then just say it here. | 12:42 |
| Iron|2 | or if it's not other scam, just say it here | 12:43 |
| dr_willis | if its off topic.. please dont.. | 12:43 |
| KnoWon | Iron|2: not spam/scam but i don't necessarily want it public :P Heh | 12:43 |
| Iron|2 | I'll pass | 12:43 |
| Iron|2 | busy | 12:43 |
| Eagleman | How do i remove the swap or resize the swap partition on ubuntu 12.04 server LVM | 12:43 |
| ubuntusr | @ActionParsnip: will sudo apt-get upgrade try to upgrade me to a new Ubuntu? I'm nervous about breaking things if I do that. | 12:43 |
| Iron|2 | Eagleman, try gparted which is a partition manager, look up a tutorial on how to use it, but it's pretty easy. | 12:44 |
| dr_willis | upgrade = upgrades current packages. not the release | 12:44 |
| Iron|2 | although I still wouldn't recommend it | 12:44 |
| Eagleman | i cant right now | 12:44 |
| Iron|2 | then you will have to wait. | 12:44 |
| Eagleman | cant i use another tool? | 12:44 |
| Eagleman | in puty | 12:44 |
| ubuntusr | ah, ok | 12:44 |
| Iron|2 | you can use gparted | 12:44 |
| dr_willis | Eagleman: cfdisk, fdisk, perhaps others | 12:44 |
| Iron|2 | the command line version | 12:44 |
| Eagleman | i am on a cli | 12:44 |
| dr_willis | 'parted | 12:45 |
| Iron|2 | oh, right | 12:45 |
| Iron|2 | the g stands for gnome right? | 12:45 |
| dr_willis | 'parted' is the cli of gparted | 12:45 |
| Eagleman | i've formatted a partition before for my other disk | 12:45 |
| dr_willis | i always do disk operations like that from a live cd | 12:45 |
| Iron|2 | he's doing it to a remote server | 12:45 |
| dr_willis | one way to make it A NON SERVER. ;) | 12:46 |
| dr_willis | doing what exactly? | 12:47 |
| Iron|2 | general positive comment about ubuntu 12.04: you can drag windows around in workspace switcher now, hooray! :) | 12:47 |
| Eagleman | i dont want a gui xD | 12:47 |
| Iron|2 | then uninstall it | 12:48 |
| Iron|2 | sudo apt-get remove xorg | 12:48 |
| Iron|2 | sudo apt-get remove unity | 12:48 |
| Eagleman | what? | 12:48 |
| * dr_willis consides the console a text based gui | 12:48 | |
| Eagleman | i dont even have it | 12:48 |
| Eagleman | i am running cli | 12:48 |
| ubuntusr | I realized I sent the wrong output for sudo apt-get update. | 12:48 |
| ubuntusr | Here is what I get: | 12:48 |
| ubuntusr | http://pastebin.com/4DHZCZfT | 12:48 |
| ubuntusr | Sorry about that. | 12:48 |
| Iron|2 | oh yeah, you have to rever to a real terminal, which feeds in paper instructions, one character at a time. | 12:48 |
| ubuntusr | apt-get upgrade says | 12:49 |
| ubuntusr | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded. | 12:49 |
| Eagleman | rm / | 12:49 |
| c-real | do you know how to restart unity just like we could with gnome (ctrl+alt+bksp) ?? | 12:49 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntusr: karmic is EOL, no support and no updates | 12:49 |
| dr_willis | Iron|2: been there done that.. and greenbar printing terminals | 12:49 |
| ubuntusr | oh, ok, so i should install a new distro? | 12:49 |
| Iron|2 | or would dr willis consider that gui still, do we have to use a thought controlled interface? | 12:49 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntusr: just a newer release and you'll be fine | 12:50 |
| ubuntusr | Ok, thank you! | 12:50 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntusr: 12.04 is the latest stable as well as being LTS | 12:50 |
| Eagleman | Isnt there a easy way to resize the swap partition lol | 12:52 |
| Eagleman | or to remove it | 12:52 |
| MiteshShah | I'm come to very strange problem as a root user i'm run the crontab -e to add cron jobs like (* * * * * date &> /dev/pts/2) but its never execute | 12:53 |
| MiteshShah | i'm check weather my cron service is running or not biut its already running | 12:54 |
| MiteshShah | Any idea? | 12:54 |
| ActionParsnip | MiteshShah: so every minute of every day you want the command to run? | 12:55 |
| MiteshShah | ActionParsnip, no but for testing i'm run this command and its never execute :( | 12:56 |
| ActionParsnip | MiteshShah: have you tried restarting the cron service? | 12:56 |
| dr_willis | Eagleman: if it was on a normal partition it would be easy | 12:57 |
| dr_willis | Eagleman: you neeed more swap? | 12:57 |
| Eagleman | well lvm should be easy to resize right? | 12:57 |
| Eagleman | i dont want any swap | 12:57 |
| dr_willis | i never use lvm. | 12:57 |
| Eagleman | its eating 8gb of my disk and its only 6gb big | 12:58 |
| Eagleman | 60gb* | 12:58 |
| ActionParsnip | thats like the windows 1949 edition joke pic | 12:58 |
| Eagleman | what? | 12:58 |
| MiteshShah | ActionParsnip, service cron restart (Already done) | 12:59 |
| dr_willis | with lvm you should be able to delete the partiton. and edit fstab to not activate it | 12:59 |
| Eagleman | so how do i delete the partition? | 12:59 |
| MiteshShah | ActionParsnip, before asking help i'm try everything that i know but i'm now unble to solve this problem my self so i'm asked here | 13:00 |
| Eagleman | ./dev/mapper/eagleman-swap_1 none swap sw 0 0 | 13:00 |
| dr_willis | !lvm | 13:00 |
| ubottu | Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 13:00 |
| b3ef | http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2012/09/pluto-switch/ | 13:00 |
| dr_willis | lvm on a 60gb hd seems.. overkill | 13:01 |
| b3ef | dr_willis, agreed | 13:01 |
| Eagleman | What is the use for lvm then? | 13:01 |
| b3ef | Eagleman, it can work like Drive Extender on Windows | 13:01 |
| Eagleman | what you did is assign 60gb to / without lvm? | 13:01 |
| X3MBoy | I need to configure a ubuntu server to be a log server... | 13:01 |
| b3ef | With LVM you can take 2x 1TB drives and a make a 2TB storage on /storage or whatever | 13:01 |
| dr_willis | i dont use lvm at all. even on my 3tb drives | 13:01 |
| b3ef | me either | 13:01 |
| dr_willis | just dont need to merge my disks that way | 13:02 |
| Eagleman | and if i want to run raid 6 with 3gb disks? | 13:02 |
| b3ef | i was going to use Greyhole but I ended up keeping them all seperate | 13:02 |
| b3ef | dr_willis, exactly | 13:02 |
| b3ef | Eagleman, why RAID at all? It's not as good as it sounds | 13:02 |
| Eagleman | so what is good | 13:02 |
| dr_willis | 128gb ssd = / here, got swap and video storage on a hdd | 13:02 |
| b3ef | Eagleman, everything has their own ideal place. In my personal scenario, I use rsync and write scripts to meet my needs. | 13:03 |
| Eagleman | its better than loosing all your stuff when 1 disks fails | 13:03 |
| dr_willis | Eagleman: we need details of your setup and needs | 13:03 |
| * dr_willis makes backups | 13:03 | |
| b3ef | Eagleman, yes, it is. But there may be better solutions. | 13:03 |
| Eagleman | I also make backups | 13:03 |
| b3ef | I make backups as well, although a bit differently | 13:03 |
| chk | Q | 13:03 |
| Eagleman | just some tar script | 13:03 |
| b3ef | I have 2 disks in the host, and I use rsync to create copies of my important files on both disks | 13:03 |
| dr_willis | redundant stack or external usb hds | 13:03 |
| Eagleman | external disk | 13:03 |
| dr_willis | ;) | 13:03 |
| Eagleman | b3ef that would be the same as raid 0 | 13:04 |
| b3ef | Eagleman, except it's a copy of the entire disk | 13:04 |
| Eagleman | raid 1* | 13:04 |
| b3ef | I only replicate folders I want to | 13:04 |
| b3ef | So, in detail... | 13:04 |
| b3ef | / is my root, obviously, a 500GB disk | 13:04 |
| Eagleman | yes | 13:05 |
| b3ef | /files is my storage, a 640GB disk | 13:05 |
| b3ef | and /backups is a 1TB disk | 13:05 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis: got /tmp and /var on the platter based drive too :) | 13:05 |
| llaskin | hi i have a lot of "firefox <defunct>" processes listed in a ps listing...is there a way to get rid of these? | 13:05 |
| llaskin | I'm talking 100's of instances | 13:05 |
| ActionParsnip | llaskin: kill the parent process | 13:05 |
| b3ef | i replicate from /files to / and /backups depending on the file and how important it is | 13:05 |
| dr_willis | how cute and tiny.. | 13:05 |
| llaskin | how to figure out parent process? | 13:05 |
| llaskin | i tried sudo killall firefox | 13:05 |
| ActionParsnip | llaskin: what is the output of: ps -ef | grep -i fire | head -n 1 | 13:05 |
| Eagleman | basicly i want to use plex | 13:06 |
| Eagleman | so i will have a lot of movies/series on my disks | 13:06 |
| dr_willis | 128gb / here on ssd for / and /home/willis all else on a bigger hd | 13:06 |
| llaskin | user 302 23641 0 Sep09 ? 00:00:18 [firefox] <defunct> | 13:06 |
| dr_willis | Eagleman: with just a 60gb hd? | 13:06 |
| Eagleman | no | 13:06 |
| Eagleman | i've got / for my 60gb ssd | 13:06 |
| Iron|2 | how did you afford all those movies? | 13:06 |
| Eagleman | and /media/usbbackupdisk 500gb for backups | 13:07 |

| dr_willis | i have 3 seperate 3tb usb3 hds for my videos. i mount them to vids1, vids2 and vids3 | 13:07 |
| dr_willis | wife, kids, and mine seperated out | 13:07 |
| Eagleman | so lvm could be usefull when using plex? | 13:08 |
| Eagleman | if i got more than 3tb of movies and stuff | 13:08 |
| dr_willis | Eagleman: easier to just sort the movies out into seperate hds | 13:08 |
| ActionParsnip | llaskin: ill == kill | 13:08 |
| Iron|2 | can ubuntu support 3 monitors? | 13:08 |
| chk | ~/help join | 13:08 |
| dr_willis | Iron|2: yes | 13:08 |
| Iron|2 | I wonder what the workspace switcher looks like under 3 monitors | 13:09 |
| Eagleman | not sure how plex scans so i might even need lvm | 13:09 |
| MagnusBS | Okey, I cant find any way to debug my problem with internet speed. Here are my problem with some terminal cmd's that can help.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2055811 | 13:09 |
| dr_willis | Eagleman: it definatly CANhandle different sources to scan | 13:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Iron|2: http://design.canonical.com/2011/12/improving-the-multi-monitor-experience-in-ubuntu/ sure, why not :) | 13:09 |
| dr_willis | Eagleman: same as xbmc and boxee does | 13:09 |
| dr_willis | i use all 3 | 13:09 |
| Eagleman | i am not familier with xmbc and boxee | 13:10 |
| dr_willis | plex is a varient of xbmc | 13:10 |
| dr_willis | there are simpiler dlna/upnp servers in the repos also | 13:10 |
| dr_willis | minidlna took me 3 min to setup ;) | 13:10 |
| Iron|2 | that's crazy. | 13:11 |
| ActionParsnip | or use samba | 13:11 |
| ChoHag | Is there a sensible way (I have a build environment based around pbuilder & reprepro set up) to build kernel modules which will be used on a wide number of servers (which don't have a compiler)? | 13:11 |
| dr_willis | cellphone has upnp player.. so minidlna works well | 13:11 |
| zelluz | hello guys, I have a very, very weird issue. Picture of it here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/544003/Pb%20Linux%20desktop.png | 13:11 |
| zelluz | anyone got any hints, tips or tricks to solve it? | 13:12 |
| ActionParsnip | zelluz: are you using Mate? | 13:12 |
| dr_willis | my boxee box and xbmc machines can see the upnp servers also | 13:12 |
| Eagleman | It is able to scan multiple folders | 13:12 |
| zelluz | ActionParsnip: I havent heard about it, so I dont think so | 13:13 |
| gordonjcp | zelluz: I'm sorry, I have no idea to fix it, but it's a really good problem ;-) | 13:13 |
| ActionParsnip | zelluz: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc please | 13:13 |
| dr_willis | Eagleman: plex/xbmc/boxee can share from hundreds of folders/drives/sources | 13:13 |
| Eagleman | But it will get unorganized when i've got 3.5tb ot series and only a 3tb of disk i will have to seperate my data and it will be hard ti fond | 13:13 |
| Eagleman | to find | 13:13 |
| zelluz | ActionParsnip: its fully updated 12.04 if thats the question | 13:13 |
| dr_willis | Eagleman: plex sorts the shows.. thats its main feature | 13:13 |
| Eagleman | i know | 13:14 |
| cigan_ | mysql -u root -p: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) | 13:14 |
| Eagleman | but mannualy searching thins on the disks | 13:14 |
| Eagleman | things | 13:14 |
| dr_willis | you got 3tb of a singlre show? what show may that be.. | 13:14 |
| ActionParsnip | zelluz: hmm and can you pastebin the output of: pe -ef | grep -i panel | 13:14 |
| Eagleman | no multiple | 13:14 |
| zelluz | ActionParsnip: it happened after I used nvidia-settings to activate second(external) screen | 13:14 |
| cigan_ | getting that error but the server is running | 13:14 |
| Eagleman | its IF i dont have that right now | 13:14 |
| MagnusBS | Atheros AR9485 Wireless Adapter, only getting 1mb/s out of 12mb/s. Anyone that have other suggestions? | 13:14 |
| dr_willis | you are worriwd about a non issue | 13:14 |
| Eagleman | maybe yes | 13:15 |
| dr_willis | i have dozens of series across diffenrent hds. ples sortds it all out | 13:15 |
| ActionParsnip | zelluz: can you please pastebin the output of the command I gave. Thanks | 13:15 |
| Eagleman | i like to think about the future | 13:15 |
| zelluz | ActionParsnip: it will take some minutes Im afraid, its a friends laptop, he will be over shortly with the machine! | 13:16 |
| dr_willis | future = i plug in a new usb hd.. and fill it up.. plex scans it.. wife never notices any differance | 13:16 |
| Shadow` | i added an IP to allow SSH from a foreign IP into iptables, it is listed when i do --list... but it times out when i connect to it from the allowed IP | 13:16 |
| Eagleman | maybe ur right | 13:16 |
| Eagleman | i just have to sort out how i will do the backups | 13:17 |
| Eagleman | 2 times the same file should be enough? | 13:17 |
| dr_willis | add a file server, plex sees the smaba shares.. scans.. and adds shows to the list... | 13:17 |
| Eagleman | like in data and movies | 13:17 |
| Iron|2 | hey, are there any good C++ or C# or programming in general irc channels around? | 13:17 |
| zelluz | ActionParsnip: I even tried reset the xorg.conf file with the xorg.conf.bak file aswell, no luck!(This was yesterday). I would gladly search on google after the issue, but the issue is so perplex that Im out of words! :P | 13:17 |
| llaskin | Iron|2: have you checked #c++ or #c? | 13:18 |
| Eagleman | I already have a 3tb harddisk but it is filled with around 1.5tb of data | 13:18 |
| Iron|2 | why would I do that? | 13:18 |
| dr_willis | just 1? ;) | 13:18 |
| Eagleman | yes | 13:18 |
| Shadow` | nothing? :/ | 13:18 |
| Eagleman | it was very hard to get when i bought it | 13:18 |
| Eagleman | and since i didnt needed more | 13:19 |
| dr_willis | if i get a new 3tb. o copy over stuff to it. replaceing the smaller hd.. then i keep the sm aller hd offline as a backup copy | 13:19 |
| dr_willis | so i have seberal 1tb hds about 80% full with specific shows | 13:19 |
| Eagleman | 3tb external? | 13:19 |
| dr_willis | Eagleman: ive been upgrading to usb3 3tbs lately | 13:20 |
| dr_willis | out of usb3 ports now. ;( | 13:20 |
| Eagleman | i''ve also got 1 usb3 3tb | 13:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Eagleman: sure, you can get usb nas... | 13:20 |
| ActionParsnip | well, raid array via usb technically | 13:20 |
| dr_willis | i have several nas's that can do usb2 shareing over samba. | 13:20 |
| dr_willis | no raids ;) | 13:21 |
| Eagleman | aha | 13:21 |
| Eagleman | never heard of a usb nas | 13:21 |
| Eagleman | seems nice | 13:21 |
| ubuntu_ | tomboyyy | 13:21 |
| dr_willis | got a 500gb hd that can share by itself from battery to my tablets on the road | 13:21 |
| Shadow` | so noone has any clue why my iptables isnt working properly? | 13:22 |
| dr_willis | when working with usb you realize how slow usb2 can be. | 13:22 |
| Shadow` | yeah cause years ago many harddrives broke the usb 2 limits | 13:22 |
| dr_willis | 1tb usb backing up to a faster hd.. can take some time | 13:22 |

| rigo | hi. i know that i always ask. sorry for that. but now i share my experiences: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=140198 | 13:25 |

| hatman | I installed Xubuntu yesterday, while and after installing my sound worked, but today the sound card isn't recognised of ALSA I think | 13:25 |
| hatman | it is a laptop, thus a integrated Intel sound chipste | 13:25 |
| hatman | *chipset | 13:25 |
| hatman | ActionParsnip: sure | 13:25 |
| dr_willis | bbl | 13:25 |

| Shadow` | so much humor, some should be comedians | 13:27 |
| Sennep | Got 1ssd disk and 3hdd disks, but i can only use two of the hdd disks at once. Any reason for that, can't ubuntu run more than 3 disks? | 13:27 |
| gordonjcp | Shadow`: I'm waiting for the year of Windows on the desktop | 13:27 |
| gordonjcp | Shadow`: Windows 8 looks like it might be getting close | 13:27 |
| Kartagis | gordonjcp: that is unlikely to come | 13:27 |
| Shadow` | see, so much humor ;) | 13:27 |
| Calinou | how can I reduce screen brightness (actual backlight, NOT using nvidia x server settings) on xubuntu 12.04.1? there doesn't seem to be any menu. I tried to use xbacklight but it doesn't work, saying there is no backlight | 13:28 |
| Calinou | I use a laptop | 13:28 |

| Sennep | !text | 13:29 |
| ubottu | To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 13:29 |
| hatman | ActionParsnip: This makes no sense! My audio worked fine yesterday | 13:29 |

| ActionParsnip | Calinou: Fn + F8 not increase brightness? | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip | hatman: what? | 13:31 |
| gordonjcp | Shadow`: did you have a support question? | 13:31 |
| hatman | I'm doing it | 13:31 |
| Calinou | well I'm not on that particular computer right now; my concern is about _saving_ the brightness | 13:31 |
| Shadow` | ye few times, few days already too | 13:31 |
| Calinou | when I used ubuntu 11.10, I had to reset brightness at every reboot. very annoying :( | 13:31 |
| Calinou | I'll try later though (I want to decrease brightness, not increase it) | 13:31 |
| Iron|2 | chenmiao, I don't think this is the libreoffice help channel | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip | hatman: why the ack? | 13:31 |
| Shadow` | but im currently thinking of burning down ubuntu and migrating this POS linux to debian at least | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Iron|2: its in the repos so is supported here :) | 13:32 |
| hatman | ActionParsnip: lol dunno I thought I would say "ok" | 13:32 |
| Iron|2 | oh okay, cool. | 13:32 |
| hatman | but anyhow, the installation (or whatever happened) is done, will reboot | 13:32 |
| hatman | BRB | 13:32 |

| ubottu | To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 13:33 |
| Pici | And may not work with new things. | 13:33 |
| dr_willis | yeo | 13:33 |
| ActionParsnip | zelluz: maybe: gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel; killall gnome-panel | 13:34 |
| gordonjcp | Shadow`: switch distro if you like; all distros are exactly the same | 13:34 |

| econdudeawesome | howdy all. Any idea how to get openbox to use two screens (I'm building up from ubunutu minimal) | 13:38 |
| xevwork | Can someone give me a link to a .deb file that's not in any Ubuntu repositories? | 13:38 |
| xevwork | It doesn't matter what it is, really. | 13:38 |
| hatman | ActionParsnip: What? | 13:38 |
| econdudeawesome | xevwork: try dropbox.com? | 13:38 |
| ActionParsnip | hatman: the killing of pulseaudio then deleting the ~/.pulse* folders will give default settings. If you run: alsamixer are all levels cranked and unmuted? | 13:38 |
| xevwork | econdudeawesome: Perfect - thanks! | 13:39 |
| hatman | let me check that | 13:39 |
| zelluz | ActionParsnip: Pici: getting closer! If I try to start gnome-panel after killing the process as the user. I get the duplicate stuff. If I try it as root, its ok! | 13:39 |
| === xNew is now known as LordBelial | ||
| Shadow` | ok, so, nothing. i've used the exact same way to add ports to be allowed from specific IP's. however, on one of the servers... it stopped applying new iptables changes for no apparent reason | 13:40 |
| econdudeawesome | Anyone know how to get openbox working with dual screens if building up from ubuntu minimal? | 13:40 |
| ActionParsnip | zelluz: well you will be using root's blank profile with default settings, so yes it will be ok | 13:40 |
| Shadow` | been going through manpages, google help and been asking here the last couple of days (not counting weekend) and no support/help anywhere, whatso-freaking-ever | 13:41 |
| hashpuppy | what's the ubuntu equivalence of this command: chkconfig --list ntpd | 13:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Shadow`: try swapping it for ufw and you can use gufw as a gui. | 13:41 |
| fidel | any experience where apt-mirror logs to? | 13:41 |
| Shadow` | gui | 13:41 |
| Shadow` | really | 13:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Shadow`: or you can use ufw as is, without GUI. It works both ways.... | 13:42 |
| econdudeawesome | hashpuppy: maybe chkconfig > <filename> is what you're looking for? | 13:42 |
| fidel | somehow it looks like my apt-mirror cmd is just idling - at least if i check the disk usage - while i see on the other hand that it has created some folder struxtures in /var/spool/apt-mirror/... | 13:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Shadow`: and yes, really | 13:42 |
| gordonjcp | Shadow`: if you disable iptables entirely, can you connect? | 13:42 |
| hashpuppy | econdudeawesome: it doesn't look like it even has chkconfig | 13:43 |
| gordonjcp | Shadow`: break it down, see if you can identify where your connection is being blocked | 13:43 |
| econdudeawesome | hashpuppy: http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/chkconfig8.html | 13:43 |
| hashpuppy | sudo: chkconfig: command not found | 13:43 |
| Pici | econdudeawesome: chkconfig does not exist on Ubuntu. | 13:43 |
| Shadow` | usually iptables would be in /etc/init.d/iptables, but not on ubuntu? | 13:43 |
| econdudeawesome | Pici, hashpuppy well there you go. My ubuntu knowledge is still growing ;-) | 13:44 |
| econdudeawesome | what alternatives are there to twinview? | 13:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Shadow`: if you use nmap to scan the server you can see what is open and not.... | 13:44 |
| Shadow` | its open, its working from another IP adres which was added to iptables like 2 years ago | 13:45 |
| gordonjcp | Shadow`: see when you added a second IP address | 13:45 |
| gordonjcp | are you *sure* it's the right one? | 13:45 |
| hatman | ActionParsnip: How do I stop pulse and how do I delete its folder by command? | 13:45 |
| Shadow` | iptables even resolved it to the correct hostname | 13:45 |
| Pici | hashpuppy: it would be something like: initctl list | grep ntpd | 13:45 |
| karamel4e | Hello, any help with gddrescue? | 13:46 |

| Shadow` | uwf disable | 13:46 |
| Shadow` | still no | 13:46 |
| jpds | Shadow`: Ubuntu uses 'ufw' (frontend to iptables) for iptables management. | 13:46 |
| hashpuppy | Pici: that just tells me what services are running, as opposed to what runlevels they are configured to run at on start | 13:46 |
| jpds | Shadow`: Otherwise, use tcpdump to see what's talking to what. | 13:47 |
| Shadow` | haha | 13:47 |
| Shadow` | its a public production webserver | 13:47 |
| hatman | ActionParsnip: What should I do next? Audio seems disabled | 13:47 |

| hashpuppy | is sysv-rc-conf recommended? | 13:48 |
| Shadow` | ye i grep 22 and it sees my current connection from our old IP address | 13:48 |

| karamel4e | Hello, any help with gddrescue? | 13:49 |
| hatman | karamel4e: what's your question? | 13:50 |
| ActionParsnip | hatman: pulseaudio will restart and make the file and folder again | 13:50 |
| hatman | maybe I can help | 13:50 |
| hatman | ActionParsnip: So system reboot? | 13:50 |
| hashpuppy | jpds: if /etc/init.d/something has # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5. Will this go into effect on reboot? | 13:50 |
| econdudeawesome | Anyone have experience setting up xinerama? | 13:50 |
| fidel | !anyone | 13:51 |
| ubottu | A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 13:51 |
| jpds | hashpuppy: Upstart runs things in /etc/init.d/ last. | 13:51 |
| fidel | econdudeawesome: try to describe your problem in detail - might help more then asking if anyone.... ;) | 13:51 |
| jpds | hashpuppy: As in, after all the stuff in /etc/init/ | 13:51 |
| econdudeawesome | fidel: my problem is sufficiently detailed for where I am at. | 13:51 |
| hashpuppy | gotcha. thanks :) | 13:51 |

| karamel4e | @hatman Well, I am trying to copy a partition which is 40gb, gddrescue has been running for 5 days till now and copied only 200mb. Is this normal? | 13:51 |
| meet | how do i change the position of desktop notifications in 12.04? | 13:51 |
| jpds | meet: You can't. | 13:51 |
| fidel | econdudeawesome: well then wait for the answer ;) | 13:52 |
| econdudeawesome | fidel: I would like help figuring out how to set up multiple monitors on a fresh ubuntu minimal install with openbox | 13:52 |
| meet | jpds earlier it was at the bottom in 11.10 after i upgraded it went up and i cant even look at the messages properly | 13:52 |
| meet | jpds, any other soln? | 13:52 |
| jpds | meet: As far as I know, they could never be moved. | 13:53 |
| Shadow` | oh god, its 9.10 | 13:53 |
| dr_willis | econdudeawesome: what video card? | 13:53 |
| fidel | econdudeawesome: and i was just trying to point out that showing a problem in detailed works better then just asking for some general help in topic A | 13:53 |
| hatman | karamel4e: Lol. Seriously? From what? A computer from 1995? Or are you trying to copy through a parallel port? So... to where are you copying? | 13:53 |
| econdudeawesome | dr_willis: how do I check? | 13:53 |
| jpds | Shadow`: Nice. | 13:53 |
| dr_willis | econdudeawesome: lspci to see card info | 13:53 |
| meet | jpds: i wonder why the moved it up | 13:53 |
| hatman | karamel4e: Are you duplicating it to same drive? | 13:53 |
| Eagleman | So to get rid of LVM i just have to reinstall my ubuntu machine? | 13:53 |
| Shadow` | ye unfortunally its a production server, so i need to find a moment to do a release upgrade >.> | 13:53 |
| jpds | Eagleman: Why would you want to get rid of LVM? | 13:54 |
| karamel4e | <hatman> the cpu of the laptop is core 2 duo with 2.1gh | 13:54 |
| dr_willis | Eagleman: or just dont use it on newer hds you install and keep it on / | 13:54 |
| econdudeawesome | dr_willis: http://pastebin.com/TNttw90T is the output | 13:54 |
| wN | Eagleman: if you want to move off of LVM on your root drive, i would suggest a reinstallation. anything else will be a huge pain in the ass. | 13:54 |
| Eagleman | well i want to reinstall anyway | 13:54 |
| Eagleman | no need for it | 13:55 |
| Eagleman | dr_willis convinced me | 13:55 |
| hatman | karamel4e: Even if you have some hightech NASA computer over there, it is still weird why you let your computer on for 5 days | 13:55 |
| hatman | karamel4e: I mean for 200mb | 13:55 |
| zelluz | ActionParsnip: I removed .config .gnome2 .gconf .cache .local from user home folder and now its only two duplicates! (It was originally duplicated 5 times) | 13:55 |
| zelluz | ActionParsnip: is it safe to remove .nvidia-settings-rc from user home folder? | 13:56 |
| hatman | karamel4e: tip, if you wan't to mention my name, type the first couple 'o letters of my name, then press TAB and you will automatically ping me | 13:56 |
| hatman | But I have to go, I recommend using some other method | 13:57 |
| karamel4e | hatman: thanks, about that | 13:57 |
| hatman | bye | 13:57 |
| hatman | BRB system reboot | 13:57 |
| karamel4e | thank you again, bye | 13:57 |
| ActionParsnip | zelluz: sure | 13:58 |
| karamel4e | Any help with gddresque, please? | 13:58 |
| ActionParsnip | zelluz: you can delete .nvidia.... no problem | 13:58 |
| econdudeawesome | dr_willis: I believe it's intel then? I didnt realize they were a chip card maker, as opposed to nvivia/ati | 13:58 |
| dr_willis | econdudeawesome: intel is the #3 video chip company would be my guess. | 13:59 |
| OriginJM | Hey guys, I'm in need of some help, anyone around? | 14:00 |
| dr_willis | from a # shipped they are up there with the other 2 also id think | 14:00 |
| ActionParsnip | OriginJM: just ask dude | 14:00 |
| hatman | Bad news ActionParsnip, still not working | 14:00 |
| karamel4e | Any help with gddresque, please? | 14:00 |
| hatman | karamel4e, just once again | 14:01 |
| hatman | karamel4e, to where are you copying | 14:01 |
| ActionParsnip | karamel4e: in what way...try some details.... | 14:01 |
| OriginJM | Brand new to Ubuntu, I installed the 32bit OS without knowing, is there anyway I can switch to the 64bit easily or do I have to uninstall everything and do it again? | 14:01 |
| dr_willis | karamel4e: ddrescue /dev/sda1 sda1.image logfile ;) if i remember | 14:01 |
| ActionParsnip | OriginJM: you will need to reinstall | 14:01 |
| econdudeawesome | dr_willis: fair enough, wish I knew more about the market ;-). What do I do from here, having an intel card? | 14:02 |
| karamel4e | hatman: something bad is happening to my hdd. I am trying to rescue some files. | 14:02 |
| dr_willis | econdudeawesome: the normal gnome monitors/display tools should let you configure things | 14:02 |
| hatman | OriginJM: copy personal files to safe partition, leave all partitions intact and reinstall ubuntu to same partitions (format first) | 14:02 |
| hatman | OriginJM: that is what I've learnt | 14:02 |
| econdudeawesome | dr_willis: I'm installing up from ubuntu minimal, trying to avoid using Gnome. | 14:02 |
| OriginJM | Gotcha, do you think upgrading to 64bit is worth the time? | 14:02 |
| karamel4e | hatman: copying from one hdd to another, both of them are connected vie usb | 14:02 |
| === gabriele is now known as Guest5232 | ||
| dr_willis | econdudeawesome: no idea then. i dont configure xorg.conf by hand anymore | 14:03 |
| ActionParsnip | OriginJM: depends what you use your OS for and how much RAM you have etc | 14:03 |
| OriginJM | I got an ASUS that has an i7 and 10GB of RAM | 14:03 |
| OriginJM | so i imagine yes | 14:03 |
| rigo | can you suggest me? | 14:03 |
| hatman | karamel | 14:03 |
| dr_willis | theres to many handy tools to limit yourself to non using gnome stuff ;) | 14:03 |
| econdudeawesome | dr_willis: possible to configure via the gnome tools then be rid of them? | 14:03 |
| rigo | ...a pci-e dvb-S card? | 14:04 |
| dr_willis | econdudeawesome: you need a proper xorg.conf i imagine | 14:04 |
| econdudeawesome | fair enough | 14:04 |
| dr_willis | econdudeawesome: why so gnome-phobic | 14:04 |
| ActionParsnip | OriginJM: 32bit + PAE can access 64Gb RAM | 14:04 |
| ActionParsnip | OriginJM: but each process will only see 3.2Gb RAM | 14:04 |
| hatman | karamel4e: I'm PM'ing you | 14:05 |
| OriginJM | so should I just roll with 32bit for now? | 14:05 |
| ActionParsnip | OriginJM: so if yoyu only chat and web browse you will be ok with 32bit otherwise go 64bit | 14:05 |
| karamel4e | hatman: me too | 14:05 |
| econdudeawesome | dr_willis: well, mainly want to squeeze as much juice out of this laptop as I can. Do a ton of development work, don't know Gnome3 or Unity, when I need GUI openbox has worked fine. Noticed before my recent wipe that Gnome utilities were running even when the session wasn't called (nor was gdm insalled) | 14:05 |
| OriginJM | Well, I've never used Ubuntu but I'm also a software engineer, though it sounds like I'm clueless. I think I'll just do 64bit then, I appreciate your help buddy. Thank you. | 14:06 |
| Toph2 | ActionParsnip,,, but with 32 bit, would most of his 10g of RAM be unavailable? | 14:06 |
| dr_willis | econdudeawesome: if the desktop is not running.. its not using power | 14:06 |
| dr_willis | econdudeawesome: some services may be.. but theres text mode if you want. | 14:07 |
| econdudeawesome | but when I'd log into openbox Gnome would still rear its head. So I'm seeing if I can make Gnome-less work for me | 14:07 |
| dr_willis | what gnome stuff exactly was running... | 14:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Toph2: all, max ram for 32bit PAE is 64Gb | 14:08 |
| dr_willis | and i doubt if any battery drain was much compared to say the led screen.. | 14:08 |
| sasi | hi all | 14:09 |
| econdudeawesome | dr_willis: my worry isn't the battery drain (battery sucks anyway, just leave it plugged in). I had over 3/4 of my 4 GB of RAM used in mainly keeping Gnome services running | 14:09 |
| econdudeawesome | dr_willis: dont remember which services exactly | 14:09 |
| dr_willis | unity/gnome also has cpu throtteling features that could save battery | 14:09 |
| sasi | can any1 plz help, how to enable remote desktop service in ubuntu using command line | 14:09 |
| dr_willis | i think you are worrying about nothing. | 14:09 |
| sasi | ? | 14:09 |
| OriginJM | Also, another thing, this a bit more of a problem. Right now I'm not at home and my wireless connection is excellent, but at home it is constantly spiking and disconnecting. So a lot of connections work great except my home connection, is there a reason to this? | 14:09 |
| econdudeawesome | dr_willis: fair enough. But at present, I have two things left to successfully setup--dual monitors and wireless card. Then I'll have the system right as I like it | 14:10 |
| dr_willis | sasi: share the current desktop? or would a hidden desktop work? vncserver is for the latter hidden desktop | 14:10 |
| ActionParsnip | OriginJM: check channels in use in the area, too many SSIDs on the same channel will cause issues | 14:10 |
| greg8347 | /dns assassin | 14:10 |
| ActionParsnip | OriginJM: if you see lots of channel 11s (common) try switching to channel 1 | 14:10 |
| Toph2 | ActionParsnip,,, i've been under the impression that 32 bit system could only address about 5Gb of RAM | 14:11 |
| sasi | dr_willis: share the current desktop | 14:11 |
| dr_willis | econdudeawesome: you could boot a live ubuntu cd. configure things, check the xorg.conf and copy it over..... ;) | 14:11 |
| Toph2 | 4 rather | 14:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Toph2: without PAE the max is 3.2Gb | 14:11 |
| OriginJM | How do I check channels? And thanks again. | 14:11 |
| econdudeawesome | dr_willis: hah! :D Fair enough. The config for the file doesn't look too bad, but if I can't get it to work I might just do that | 14:11 |
| dr_willis | sasi: not sure thsts easially done. is someone at the other pc wanting to watch? ;) | 14:12 |
| Toph2 | ActionParsnip,,, ok,, I'll have to check what PAE is | 14:12 |
| sasi | dr_willis: no.. just to be know... | 14:12 |
| dr_willis | bbl | 14:13 |
| Iron|2 | hey, I'm not good enough with ubuntu yet. Can I install a new ubuntu to my flash drive for now, and then at a later date, delete the home from one, move the home from my hdd to my flash drive, and use that for both ubuntus? Or should I set this up when i install to flash drive? | 14:13 |
| sasi | dr_willis: i know how to enable it through GUI.. want to know if there is any option to enable it through CLI | 14:13 |

| === layke is now known as Guest86076 | ||
| ActionParsnip | layke: windows key. | 14:19 |
| Iron|2 | good to know actionparsnip | 14:19 |
| iateadonut | i'm working to dual/triple boot several linux distro's | 14:19 |
| Iron|2 | I really should have some sort of stickynote app to keep track of these commands | 14:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Iron|2: I like to add an alias to make it default :) | 14:19 |
| econdudeawesome | Iron|2: I've done the same. I had a script that, to check connectivity, pinged www.google.com. I wondered the day after why my script hadn't finished. Pinged many many times | 14:19 |
| iateadonut | using the same home directory of course. | 14:19 |
| ActionParsnip | eneskuray: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 14:19 |
| Iron|2 | iatedonut, is this your first time with linux? | 14:19 |
| Guest86076 | ActionParsnip, I find that I like to see the running tasks always open. If that makes sense. So I can quickly see whats running. | 14:19 |
| iateadonut | and the same /var/www partition, and var/lib/mysql partition | 14:19 |
| belugs | Hello guys... How the best way to recover undelete files / format files? | 14:19 |
| eneskuray | ActionParsnip there isnt wlan0 device | 14:20 |
| iateadonut | the default window manager on LTS is gnome? | 14:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest86076: if you enable the scale plugin, you can activate it and see all the windows for running apps | 14:20 |
| ActionParsnip | iateadonut: the WM is compiz | 14:20 |
| iateadonut | i kind of like it and am thinking of trading fluxbox for it. | 14:20 |
| eneskuray | ActionParsnip: | 14:20 |
| ActionParsnip | belugs: use your backups | 14:20 |
| ActionParsnip | eneskuray: can you run: cat /etc/lsb-release what is output please? | 14:21 |
| iateadonut | but wondering how i can keep my old debian and mandriva loading to fluxbox and have a choice of what to load up in ubuntu if i'm using the same home partition for all three. | 14:21 |
| belugs | ActionParsnip: I don't have backup... I read about foremost, but I don't know if it's the best way | 14:21 |
| iateadonut | ah yes, compiz. | 14:21 |
| iateadonut | what fun. | 14:21 |
| hatman | ActionParsnip: My sound still doesn't work, still not recognised. Help plz? | 14:21 |

| Iron|2 | and my final question of the day: how do I uninstall (remove) ubuntu server and then install lubuntu minimal in one command? | 14:24 |
| iateadonut | lyscer, hold on. | 14:24 |
| iateadonut | let me get you a few commands. | 14:24 |
| dmartin | hello all, to track down a bug I'm looking for a way to download a version of ubuntu oneiric 11.04 (server preferably) but I cannot find my way on the ubuntu website, can anyone help me? | 14:25 |
| k1l_ | Iron|2: just install the lubuntu-desktop meta package? | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Iron|2: if you have server install then just install lubuntu-minimal and it will install what you need | 14:25 |
| belugs | ActionParsnip: which command? foremost? | 14:25 |
| Iron|2 | but i wish to remove the server components as well | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip | belugs: yes, i suggest you use the ubuntu live CD to do it in | 14:25 |
| iateadonut | changing from 74 to 77 (userid) | 14:25 |
| iateadonut | find / -user 74 -exec chown 77 {} \; | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Iron|2: just uninstall the services you don't want | 14:25 |
| iateadonut | that'd be system wide, because of the / after find | 14:26 |
| Iron|2 | ok, so do it separately? | 14:26 |
| belugs | ActionParsnip: all right.. thank ActionParsnip ... | 14:26 |
| Iron|2 | alright, thanks for the info, cya. | 14:26 |
| iateadonut | so you might want to restrict to /var/lib/mysql | 14:26 |
| econdudeawesome | dmartin: ftp://ftp.utexas.edu/pub/ubuntu-iso/CDs/ | 14:26 |
| lyscer | iateadonut, what does that command do? | 14:26 |
| dmartin | thank econdudeawesome :) | 14:26 |
| iateadonut | finds all files with the user id of 74 and changes them to 77 | 14:26 |
| iateadonut | you'll have to do whatever you do with your pertinent user id's | 14:27 |
| iateadonut | and also, you might change it to find /var/lib/mysql | 14:27 |
| iateadonut | instead of find / | 14:27 |
| belugs | ActionParsnip: Why do you suggest liveCD ?, I read that I need just it "sudo foremost -v -T -t doc -i /dev/sda6 -o /media/disk/Recover" | 14:27 |
| layke_ | Sorry ActionParsnip, what was the name of that plugin? | 14:27 |
| lyscer | iateadonut, it doesn't look like it did anything | 14:28 |
| layke_ | (Can't check history, just overwrote my /home directory) | 14:28 |
| layke_ | So xchat has cleared what you last said :) | 14:28 |
| iateadonut | oh, guess i'm wrong. sorry | 14:28 |
| lyscer | iateadonut, thanks anyways | 14:28 |
| lyscer | good effort ;) | 14:28 |
| iateadonut | what is the first line that ls -n /var/www/mysql gives you? | 14:28 |
| iateadonut | belugs, usually foremost works on a dd image | 14:29 |
| ActionParsnip | belugs: because the partition you are working on needs to be unmounted | 14:29 |
| iateadonut | does it work directly on a partition? | 14:29 |
| iateadonut | puppy linux is a good live cd to have handy for stuff like that. | 14:29 |
| iateadonut | lyscer, give me the output of "id mysql" | 14:30 |
| lyscer | iateadonut, uid=106(mysql) gid=113(mysql) groups=113(mysql) | 14:30 |
| iateadonut | and the first line that "ls -n /var/www/mysql" gives you | 14:30 |
| belugs | ActionParsnip: Ok, Now I understood... thanks a lot | 14:30 |
| lyscer | iatadonut, total 28692 | 14:31 |
| lyscer | iateadonut, total 28692 | 14:31 |
| iateadonut | i mean the first file | 14:31 |
| belugs | iateadonut: thanks for information | 14:31 |

| mits | aladilas: hi | 14:32 |
| iateadonut | does foremost work on a dd image or directly on a partition? - sorry - it also works directly on an unmounted partition - i was wrong. | 14:32 |
| lyscer | iateadonut, the next one has a user list of 106 113 | 14:32 |
| mits | aarcane_: hi | 14:33 |
| hatman | does ANYONE here know how to set up audio here in Xubuntu? | 14:33 |

| iateadonut | how about the directory that matches the name of the database you are trying to show with "show databases" | 14:33 |
| belugs | iateadonut: is it a question ? about foremost.. or affirmation? | 14:33 |
| iateadonut | affirmation | 14:33 |
| mits | hi how to enable remote desktop in linux | 14:34 |
| mits | ? | 14:34 |
| lyscer | iateadonut, lrwxrwxrwx 1 106 113 30 Sep 10 14:18 db1 -> /mnt/var/lib/mysql/db1 | 14:34 |
| ActionParsnip | iateadonut: i believe so. If you use dd_rescue you can use foremost on the image i believe | 14:34 |
| centrelink | mits, same as windows | 14:34 |
| iateadonut | hmmm... not sure about symbolic links. | 14:35 |
| mits | centrelink:i need the command for that. | 14:35 |
| iateadonut | how about "ls -n /mnt/var/lib/mysql/db1" ? | 14:35 |
| lyscer | iateadonut, I am copying it over to see if it makes a difference, then I will restart mysql and try again | 14:35 |
| mits | centrelink: you gone? | 14:36 |
| iateadonut | lyscer, can you try that "ls -n /mnt/var/lib/mysql/db1" - i'm really curious now | 14:37 |
| hatman | again, does anyone have a knowledge on how to get ubuntu set my soundcard as output device? | 14:38 |
| ActionParsnip | mits: what are you connecting to achieve? There may be a more graceful solution | 14:38 |
| lyscer | iateadonut, it didn't go through to those files. they have a 102 103 | 14:39 |
| mits | ActionParsnip: i'm a system engineer in a company | 14:39 |
| MonkeyDust | mits and what do you want to do? | 14:40 |
| hylian | say guys, if i wanted to use firefox quickly while I was in tty0, (control alt f1), how would I do that without going back to tty7? i know there is a way to direct firefox to a specific display, is this a duable thing? | 14:40 |
| mits | ActionParsnip: i need to install 1 software in one linux machine. now the user went home | 14:40 |
| lyscer | iateadonut, looks like copying them into the /var/lib/mysql shows them when I do "Show databases" so it was the symlink screwing me | 14:40 |
| lyscer | iateadonut, thanks for the help/troubleshooting | 14:40 |
| iateadonut | good luck | 14:41 |
| mits | ActionParsnip: so i'm trying to enable the remote desktop through CLI, as i can access the remote machine using putty | 14:41 |
| ActionParsnip | mits: if you install openssh-server on the system you can SSH in and use apt-get to install the packages you want... | 14:42 |
| mits | MonkeyDust: just want to know the command to enable the remote desktop | 14:42 |
| MonkeyDust | mits what you can do, but maybe there's a more elegant way: start's the user's pc from a live usb stick, download and install the .deb for openssh-server, then you can login using ssh | 14:43 |
| mits | ActionParsnip: that i know... i just want to view the desktop so that i can do it through gui | 14:43 |
| mits | ActionParsnip: i'm not that familiar with linux commands | 14:44 |
| ActionParsnip | mits: if its not enabled now, you will need to physically attend the system | 14:44 |
| mits | MonkeyDust: i can ssh the machine.. but i need to view the desktop. | 14:44 |
| hylian | can you run a x program like firefox via tty0? I want quick in and out access, without going back to tty7...?? | 14:44 |
| ActionParsnip | mits: sudo apt-get install packagename | 14:44 |
| ActionParsnip | hylian: ssh -X username@server | 14:45 |
| mits | ActionParsnip: ok.. so there is no command to enable remote desktop? :( | 14:45 |
| ActionParsnip | hylian: use that to connect, then you can run X apps and it will attach to the client system (assuming you have a running X) | 14:45 |
| ActionParsnip | mits: not without knowing where the VNC stuff is | 14:45 |
| hylian | ActionParsnip: i don't get it, I'm not running a server. I just want to launch firefox in control alt f1, which i thought was tty0? | 14:46 |
| ActionParsnip | !vnc | mits | 14:46 |
| ubottu | mits: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 14:46 |
| mits | ActionParsnip: i googled and found out one command ... "gconftool-2" | 14:46 |
| ActionParsnip | mits: Newer releases don't use gconftool-2 now | 14:46 |
| mits | ActionParsnip: bt its not working for me... | 14:46 |
| mits | ActionParsnip: ok... | 14:46 |
| mits | ActionParsnip: thanks a lot... | 14:47 |
| ActionParsnip | hylian: if you connect with the -X option, you can run gui apps and it will act like citrix does | 14:47 |
| mits | ubottu: i cant go the machine physically now to enable the remote desktop... | 14:48 |
| ubottu | mits: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 14:48 |
| ActionParsnip | mits: you will need to attend the ssytem. I would put openssh-server on all systems so you can install apps and such remotely | 14:48 |
| mits | ubottu: ok thanks bye | 14:48 |
| ubottu | mits: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 14:48 |
| mits | ActionParsnip: bye.. thanks for the help | 14:48 |
| hylian | ActionParsnip: ok, i think i get it. first off i am not using tty0. I am using "virtual terminal 1", so that was my fault. so i want to ssh tunnel into my own machine, directing it to x. but what goes in username@server? my username @ my machine name? | 14:50 |
| meisth0th | when will gimp 2.8 be available on ubuntu? | 14:51 |

| p1l0t | if running tar from the cli just seems frozen (no action just blinking cursor) is that usually a bad .tgz or something else? Tried -t and -x same nothing happens. I can ctrl-c out of it. Is there an error log for tar? Or is it in syslog maybe? | 14:52 |
| orated | Hello! Even after installing lubuntu-desktop package on a Ubuntu 12.04 installation, I don't see Lubuntu option during login. Is there any other package required to be installed other than lubuntu-desktop? Secondly, after completing modprobe operations on kernel module, is there any thing to do so that I don't have to repeat that step on every system boot? | 14:52 |
| delinquentme | My 10.04 ubuntu just corrected a command I issued to it ... and in return it told me to run " service mysql start " .. when that is a removed command O_o;;;;;;;; ? apparently this "service" command has been replaced with " upstart " ?? | 14:53 |

| p1l0t | I'm trying to extract fpdf17.tgz I used to have it installed but I reverted to server because the Unity got to be too much for this old machine. Worked fine before so I doubt its the file but can't seem to extract it from the CLI using tar | 14:55 |
| p1l0t | from fpdf.org | 14:55 |

| selfowner | so far have tried ubuntu just on virtualbox, but now i want to install it on my laptop, dualboot with win7, so ubuntu + win7 + a shared data partition. anyone have done that? | 14:56 |
| ActionParsnip | p1l0t: why not install Xubuntu or Lubuntu then? You don't HAVE to use Unity/Gnome... | 14:56 |
| ActionParsnip | p1l0t: i suggest you install unp. It makes extracting stuff easy as you can use one command for all archives :) | 14:57 |
| orated | hylian: Yes, Ubuntu 12.04. Yes, I did click on that small ball.. only having gone through option I said Ubuntu, Ubuntu2D, Openbox,GNOME/Openbox in my previous reply | 14:57 |
| * ActionParsnip thinks unp should be default installed | 14:57 | |
| p1l0t | ActionParsnip: This computer only really needs to be a server anyway just trying to keep it efficent, been authorized by the company for a new build that will have a desktop. I'll check out unp thanks | 14:58 |
| orated | chalcedony: Umm.. sudo apt-get install --reinstall lubuntu-desktop installs that single package ... am I missing something? | 14:58 |
| ActionParsnip | p1l0t: makes sense, yeah unp is awesmoe | 14:58 |
| hatman | come on... anyone... please some help? there is seriously no solution I can find... I don't want to reinstall xubuntu because that won't help anyway... can anyone please help? | 14:58 |
| ActionParsnip | p1l0t: also install openssh-server for remote tweaking and file access :) | 14:58 |

| hylian | ActionParsnip: i don't think ssh is the way to go for me. I don't want to bring up the whole desktop, i simply want to run one x app while still in virtual terminal 1. | 14:59 |
| orated | hylian: lubuntu-desktop is already the newest version. | 14:59 |
| hylian | orated: have you rebooted at all? | 14:59 |
| orated | Yes, three times before asking here | 15:00 |
| p1l0t | ActionParsnip: Oh yeah already have openssh, just added denyhost too because of brute force attempts already. Going to make it RSA soon but other issues to deal with first. | 15:00 |
| ahhthai | a | 15:00 |
| hylian | orated: how did you install lubuntu-desktop, did you log out of unity or some other desktop environment, and then install it via the virtual terminal? (control alt-f1?) | 15:00 |
| cfhowlett | Bucko0909: wubi is for TESTING ubuntu - not a long-term installation solution. So sayeth wubi developers. Consider virtualbox or dual booting is the best advice I can offer. | 15:00 |
| orated | hylian: Is there a command line approach to check if they are installed or not? Not by checking state using aptitude show or something? | 15:01 |
| Bucko0909 | i am testing lol , im a dj by proffesion and looking at diffrent laptop setups at the min, intrested in trying mixxx on ubuntu as windows is just greedy on resources | 15:01 |
| orated | hylian: I installed lubuntu-desktop this way - Logged out of Unity in tty7. Moved to tty1 using Ctrl+Alt+F1.. <sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop> then <sudo apt-get shutdown now -r> | 15:02 |
| WHAT_DOWN | so this is a silly question, but i have a file called "-". how do i read its contents? cat - or nano - don't work. | 15:02 |
| gordonjcp | WHAT_DOWN: cat -- - | 15:02 |
| hylian | orated: there might be. I would personally start by apt-get removing lubuntu-desktop, and then apt-get install lxde. if you can get that way if it is a package problem of some sort, you would know it is in the core of lxde. There is probably a better way to do this, but this is how I would do it. | 15:02 |

| Bucko0909 | cfhowlett: thanks will check it out :) | 15:03 |
| hylian | can I run a x app from virtual terminal 1? (or how can i?) I think the way i aked my question earlier was not clear. | 15:03 |

| karamel4e | Hello, any help with rescuing data from a probably failing hdd? | 15:05 |
| delinquentme | Ok ... for " upstart " ... $ upstart should run it ... if I've got it installed right? | 15:06 |
| hylian | dr_willis: i am also trying to just run the one app, and not switch back to the whole gui, because I would like to use the whole screen.. | 15:06 |
| jacta | cfhowlett, thanks for all that helpfull help, great | 15:07 |
| hylian | jacta: what happens when you manually mount it? | 15:07 |
| econdudeawesome | dr_willis: Figured it out. Use xrandr commands at openbox autostart to get everything configured properly | 15:07 |
| jacta | hylian, nothing at all :/ | 15:07 |
| dr_willis | hylian: somthing like the following may do it 'xhost + localhost' 'export DISPlAY=localhost:0' then 'theappname' may work | 15:07 |
| hylian | jacta: so what you are saying is you cant mount it? | 15:07 |
| hylian | dr_willis: thanks, I will try that! | 15:08 |
| jacta | hylian, yep, or atleast not automaticly - tried manually too without luck - also tried all usb ports | 15:08 |
| jacta | and sdcard slot too | 15:08 |
| hylian | oops, pressed the wrong button | 15:09 |
| ska | Is there a channel for ufw chatter? | 15:09 |
| hylian | dr willis, can you send that to me again, i accidentally closed my irssi sesssion..?? | 15:10 |
| karamel4e | Hello, any help with rescuing data from a probably failing hdd? | 15:10 |
| p1l0t | ActionParsnip: unp found all the files :) but said failed to detect file type I used 'unp -u fpdf17.tgz /tmp' Does this allow you to specify a folder or do I need to mv it there first? Or use proper syntax? | 15:10 |
| ActionParsnip | p1l0t: waaaay easier than messing with tar switches etc | 15:10 |
| hylian | dr_willis: can you send me that again, i accidentally closed my irssi client...?? | 15:10 |
| ActionParsnip | p1l0t: not sure, check the man page, I always just extract to the location it is in | 15:11 |
| p1l0t | ActionParsnip: The man page is only 37 lines but I will just mv and unzip its simple and it works I'm happy enough | 15:11 |
| ActionParsnip | p1l0t: yeah its one of the first things I install :) | 15:12 |
| ska | Do I need to use "sudo ufw" if working as root? | 15:12 |
| ActionParsnip | ska: if you are root, you don't need sudo | 15:13 |
| hylian | dr_willis: sorry I goofed up, and thanks. I'm going to see if i can find that command again on the web. i went to launch leafpad, and killed my irssi via terminator :( | 15:13 |

| hash_ | Im trying to install LMMS its telling me i need wine 1.2, if i try to install it under synaptic it selects wine 1.2 and wine 1.2 gecko and it wants to uninstall wine and wine 1.3 will i have any problem removing them | 15:14 |
| karamel4e | Hello, any help with rescuing data from a probably failing hdd? | 15:14 |
| ActionParsnip | p1l0t: you can vote for things at brainstorm.ubuntu.com but I don't think it does much. Linux just maintains the kernel and other packages, I don't think he inputs to the defaut package choice in ubuntu | 15:15 |
| orated | karamel4e: ddrescue? | 15:15 |
| mediamgl | hi | 15:15 |
| p1l0t | ActionParsnip: ssta: I guess its up to Cannocial? | 15:16 |

| unless | Could someone help me figure why Thunderbird insists in telling my gmail account password is wrong? | 15:16 |
| ActionParsnip | p1l0t: indeed | 15:16 |
| karamel4e | orated: I mean it is really slow... | 15:16 |
| ActionParsnip | unless: does email flow ok? | 15:16 |
| hylian | jacta: sorry, I had a bit of typing to do, have you gotten any more help on the usb thing? | 15:17 |
| ssta | p1l0t: yeah...there's a release team, who I guess have a say. I dunno how much is "policy" and how much is "politics" though | 15:17 |
| jacta | hylian, not at all, also sd card wont work :o | 15:17 |
| p1l0t | ssta: yes | 15:17 |
| ssta | p1l0t: I'd *like* to think that all decisions were made for technical reasons, but I doubt that very much :) | 15:17 |
| unless | ActionParsnip, what do you mean? | 15:17 |
| ActionParsnip | unless: does email come down ok? can you send email ok? | 15:18 |
| unless | ActionParsnip, when I try to check my email it says I got the wrong password. | 15:18 |
| p1l0t | ssta: in a perfect world | 15:18 |
| hylian | jacta: what desktop environment do you use? Unity? Gnome? XFCE or LXDE? (Unity is the one that automatically comes with ubnutu 12.04) | 15:18 |
| jacta | hylian, xubuntu though :) | 15:18 |
| unless | ActionParsnip, actually its a imap account and it is not able to connect to server, both. | 15:18 |
| jacta | think I played in pysdm somehow, but its all b0rked :\ | 15:19 |
| ActionParsnip | p1l0t: if you want to install only what you want, install minimal ubuntu and you can build up, so the package choices will be irrelevant :) | 15:19 |
| ssta | p1l0t: well, the world is faqr from perfect...I think Linux in general (and Ubuntu in particular) come closer to it than most in the release management aspects | 15:19 |
| ska | Does "ufw allow 80/tcp" write anything to a configuration file? | 15:20 |
| ssta | p1l0t: I tend to install default and then change it to how I want it (unity and friends go...xrdp comes in...if I could find a way to remove dnsmasq cleanly that would go too...) | 15:20 |
| hylian | jacta: in other words, you are using xfce. me too. xubuntu is just a bunch of packages that make xfce prettier, and gives it some nice functionality. some very nice extras. | 15:20 |
| karamel4e | Hello, any help with rescuing data from a probably failing hdd? | 15:20 |
| jacta | hylian, yep - correct :) | 15:20 |
| ActionParsnip | karamel4e: try dd_rescure | 15:21 |
| p1l0t | ActionParsnip: next time for sure | 15:21 |
| ActionParsnip | karamel4e: your backups will be far easier and more consistant data | 15:21 |
| hylian | jacta: well first off i can assure you it's not lxde. lxde works great. (i just realized I said xfce before.) my brain doesnt work all that well. I am gonna do some diggin on this. | 15:21 |
| p1l0t | ssta: I have been trying to figure out how to opensource life in general.. | 15:22 |
| ssta | p1l0t: if you work it out, let me know | 15:22 |
| jacta | hylian, its xfce im on | 15:22 |
| unless | ActionParsnip, man, I didn't have my imap at google set. Thank you anyways. | 15:22 |
| p1l0t | ssta: WILCO | 15:23 |
| ActionParsnip | unless: ahhh, glad you got the gold :) | 15:23 |
| karamel4e | ActionParsnip: my backups are already gone, as the other hdd failed previously :9 | 15:23 |
| ActionParsnip | karamel4e: oh boy | 15:23 |
| ActionParsnip | karamel4e: try foremost on the unmounted partition, you will need a large partition mounted writable to spit the data to | 15:23 |
| ssta | karamel4e: ouch. I've been there long time ago...I feel your pain. Get as much as you can off as soon as you can and hope you don't lose too much | 15:23 |

| jacta | its all worked nice earlier :p | 15:25 |
| ska | Where does ufw store its user-created rules? | 15:25 |
| hylian | jacta: fat32 should have been a sure thing. this is not a usb issue. can you boot to a ubuntu live cd, and then see if you have usb capability? then we would know if it's an after installation issue, or an ubuntu issue. | 15:26 |
| fredddiiiiii | Does anyone know a repository for Ubuntu with Empathy themes? | 15:26 |
| jacta | hylian, it have been worked for long time, then I did something in some "cant-remember-apps" :\ | 15:27 |

| codemonkey | looking for a repo source | 15:28 |
| gordonjcp | codemonkey: if you've got the Z-machine files, try frotz | 15:29 |
| karamel4e | ActionParsnip: is 'ddrescure' you are reffering to different from dd_rescue. I installed gddrescue and using this one | 15:29 |

| aLeSD | hi all | 15:45 |
| hylian | zerts: i was using gnome 3 for a while. | 15:45 |
| dell | Is anyone using Scilab for calculating? | 15:45 |
| hylian | aLeSD: hello | 15:45 |
| OerHeks | zerts gnome2 is dead. | 15:45 |
| aLeSD | is it possible to put the log of /var/log/kern.log in the background in unity desktop ? | 15:45 |
| kubanc | ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1196870/ | 15:45 |
| dell | Today, I use ubuntu 1204 | 15:46 |
| zerts | OerHeks but its nice and fast | 15:46 |
| h00k | zerts: gnome2 is no longer supported by the gnome team | 15:46 |
| hylian | zerts: gnome 3 has a classical mode that works almost exactly like gnome 2 did. that | 15:46 |
| aLeSD | I use ubuntu 5.04 | 15:46 |
| dell | I find this tool,Scilab | 15:46 |
| xangua | zerts: gnome1 was also nice and fast :P | 15:46 |
| duckgod | Every 30 minutes or so my computer freezes up. I can move the mouse pointer but nothing else happens. Any ideas what could be breaking that would cause this? | 15:46 |
| hylian | aLeSD: 5.04? that's from 2005! | 15:46 |
| aLeSD | dell, use python + numpy + scipy | 15:46 |
| aLeSD | hylian, just kidding | 15:46 |
| duckgod | I am testing ubuntu 12.10 beta 1 | 15:46 |
| neooen | It is doing it all over the system, Browser, File Manager, just everywhere | 15:47 |
| zerts | Ho well xangua | 15:47 |
| OerHeks | duckgod, support QQ 12.10 in #ubuntu+1 | 15:47 |
| aLeSD | you guys rules but may I put a console in the background of everything with tail -f /var/log/kern.log ? | 15:47 |
| duckgod | Yeah everywhere. No matter applications. | 15:47 |
| zerts | In this case I will update to gnome 3 | 15:48 |
| duckgod | Ok I will try and report to QQ. Just hoping to get a hunch for them to start with. | 15:48 |

| dr_willis | karamel4e: all sort of tricks/gimmicks to try to get the hd going.. none ive ever seen actually work | 16:00 |
| hylian | neooen: hmm, in xchat it could be the auto replace function. the problem here is, you may get this on other apps. but I would try for now to turn off auto replace in xchat, and see if that gets you anywhere, if it does, it's not your keyboard layout. if it does not, that's the direction i would be leaning to. | 16:01 |
| zeitgeist | hi chan | 16:01 |

| raido | Just an FYI. I was having problems getting update-manager and APT to see the new releases here at the office. We use and apt-cacher proxy here and it turns out, for some reason not yet known, apt-cacher will prevent an install from seeing new releases. Easy fix to disable the proxy on the client... do the upgrade and then reenable the proxy. | 17:07 |

| rtdos | hey all, just read an article on Wired that "claims" OSX killed the Linux Desktop, what do you guys think? have you seen the article? | 17:22 |
| NEone | afloater: If you want to make a dual-boot installation, I recommend making a copy (an image) of your windows partitions before starting. The "clonezille" bootable CD as imaging software and a big USB harddrive as target might serve good for this. | 17:22 |
| ChogyDan | rtdos: read the few lines posted above yours | 17:22 |

| zeitgeist | smw, you scared me there ! Thanks for answering anyway :) | 17:25 |

| smw | eleazar, it is a service with a web interface | 17:25 |
| eleazar | smw, well i assumed it wasn't running b/c i thought on first run it would open firefox to the web interface, is that rong? | 17:26 |
| eleazar | *wrong | 17:26 |
| smw | eleazar, most likely wrong, yes | 17:26 |

| eleazar | how do i run manually from terminal? | 17:27 |
| smw | eleazar, I have no idea how the people who made the packages set it up | 17:27 |
| smw | eleazar, if they did it right, there is a file in /etc/default/ named sickbeard | 17:28 |

| ActionParsnip | afloater: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-disable-dnsmasq-in-ubuntu-12-04precise.html | 17:36 |

| wad | bazhang, looks good, thanks! | 17:36 |
| afloater | it does not seem to be working at all | 17:36 |
| afloater | not sure why | 17:36 |
| atrus | afloater: just make sure you've listed the right server in your network configuration (eg, run nm-connection-editor, and edit the config there) | 17:36 |
| atrus | you don't typically edit /etc/resolv.conf by hand any more. there's a number of reasons why doing it with dnsmasq is better, mostly related to vpns, but getting it all done one way is a plus too. | 17:37 |
| eleazar | sorry, was afk for a minute :\ | 17:37 |
| afloater | ActionParsnip: thank you | 17:37 |
| atrus | afloater: my guess is that you configured it manually, and the fact that those manual changes don't happen any more is the source of your problem. | 17:38 |

| soman | After re-inserting the disc all works now | 17:48 |
| push | ikonia: was unable to update hosts file with sudo so tried changing sudoers | 17:49 |
| wad | We fixed it!! | 17:49 |
| ikonia | push: the default sudo rules will allow you to update /etc/hosts | 17:49 |
| eleazar | atrus, i installed sickbeard via a ppa, but it's not showing up in dash home, and i can't figure out how to run it from the command line (I'm a linux noob :( ) | 17:49 |
| soman | One more Q: is it etc/hosts file has same meaning as Windows hosts file? | 17:49 |
| Sokel | push: Exactly what ikonia said. You basically are now putting conflicts in the sudoers file. Remove it, now. | 17:49 |
| ActionParsnip | push: doesn't the line need starting with a percent sign? | 17:49 |
| ikonia | push: how are you editing the sudoers file | 17:49 |
| batteronizer | soman: yes | 17:50 |
| soman | batteronizer: thanks | 17:50 |
| ActionParsnip | push: for the groupname | 17:50 |
| atrus | eleazar: if it's not in the dash home, i'd call that a bug in the package. you may be able to work around that, eg, by running dpkg -L <package name> to see if there's a file in /usr/bin that should be executed | 17:50 |
| manisabri | I changed the usb port of my web cam and its not working any more , any ideas? I don't remember which port it was and I have 30 of them !! | 17:50 |
| smt | hi, i recently changed my hardware and now lm-sensors doesnt find any sensors (apart from hdd and gpu) i already ran sensors-detect... the new motherboard is an asus M5A78L-M LE | 17:50 |

| ikonia | push: please stop posting that | 17:51 |
| Sokel | push: You're being dumb. Remove your name from the sudoers file. | 17:51 |
| atrus | eleazar: or see if it has something in /usr/share/doc/<package name> that would explain some first-steps. | 17:51 |
| ikonia | start answering the questions actually asked | 17:51 |
| ikonia | push: 1.) what was the command you used to edit sudo | 17:51 |
| ikonia | push: 2.) what is the command you are using to try to edit /etc/hosts | 17:51 |
| rochak | ikonia: gtg | 17:51 |
| eleazar | atrus, ah ok, i'll check those, thanks | 17:51 |
| wad | soman, actually, you have it backwards. The windows hosts file has the same meaning as the UNIX one. :) | 17:52 |
| atrus | eleazar: it could be the sort of program that just runs on startup in the background, and you access it via your web-browser on http://localhost:<some port> or something | 17:52 |
| eleazar | atrus, assuming this was a normal package that installed correctly, how would i normally launch it from terminal? | 17:53 |
| ActionParsnip | eleazar: have you read any man pages, websites or did you just thrown in the package and start guessing how it is used? | 17:54 |
| afloater | atrus: Id rather disable the dnsmasq stuff | 17:54 |
| afloater | dont see the benefit | 17:54 |
| bobweaver | go go speed racer afloater ? | 17:55 |
| eleazar | ActionParsnip, i have been using sickbeard on windows for a year or so, so i know how sickbeard works, i just don't know linux :\ so i have no read any man pages :( | 17:55 |
| atrus | afloater: the simplest benefit is probably just that your system is configured the way ubuntu expects, so it'll be easier to get support later. | 17:55 |
| manisabri | ubuntu 11.10 64 , changed webcam usb port , not working any more , any ideas? | 17:55 |
| ActionParsnip | eleazar: think you may want to find out how it runs on linux then, its clearly different | 17:55 |
| bobweaver | eleazar, sickbread works on Ubuntu http://www.ainer.org/sick-beard-install-setup-configuration-guide-for-ubuntu-linux-mint | 17:56 |

| ikonia | push: if you post that again - you will be removed from the hcannel | 18:00 |
| ikonia | push: answer the questions | 18:00 |
| ikonia | push: 1.) what was the command you used to edit sudo | 18:00 |
| ikonia | push: 2.) what is the command you are using to try to edit /etc/hosts | 18:00 |
| rtdos | one more question (2 parts): does ubuntu server come with sdl / opengl installed? if not how do i install the sdl / opengl libraries? | 18:01 |
| theadmin | ActionParsnip: Ok... Transmission isn't a client I want to use (I have reasons -- some trackers I use don't allow it) | 18:01 |
| bobweaver | Dulge I thought you just go to file->open and paste in the magent | 18:01 |
| theadmin | bobweaver: Yeah, but I want to simply click the link in the browser, you know? | 18:01 |

| ubottu | ActionParsnip: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:02 |
| bobweaver | what is kubutu torrent client ? try that . theadmin | 18:02 |
| theadmin | ska: Probably. But why no thave a list of packages and pass it on to apt-get remove? (sudo apt-get remove $(cat something)) | 18:02 |
| theadmin | bobweaver: Meh... Ok, thanks, I'll figure it out myself. | 18:03 |
| bobweaver | ska, what ? dpkg-query -l | grep <name of package> ?? | 18:03 |
| theadmin | ska: If you're modifying the dpkg state you might want to run "sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade" after modifying the states. | 18:04 |
| ckaeboss | Hey all. Is there any tool I can use to securely erase a file? I want at least 22 swipes. | 18:04 |
| theadmin | ckaeboss: Linux comes with "shred", try that. "man shred" for a manual. | 18:04 |
| bobweaver | srm ckaeboss ? | 18:04 |
| rsw | i have a small question involving virtualbox this pci passtrough setup i installed some old gfx for the host and my gamin card i put in other pcix slot but ubuntu is not detecting it | 18:04 |
| ckaeboss | theadmin thanks | 18:04 |
| bobweaver | !info srm | 18:04 |
| ubottu | Package srm does not exist in precise | 18:04 |
| bobweaver | pff | 18:04 |
| bobweaver | !info secure-delete | 18:05 |

| theadmin | kopoba, ActionParsnip: Translations aren't something discussed or supported on any Ubuntu channels, except maybe #ubuntu-offtopic... | 18:07 |
| ckaeboss | theadmin: I see that they say one option is -n or --iterations=N. Can I just use --iterations=50 if I want to swipe over it 50 times? | 18:07 |
| theadmin | ckaeboss: Correct | 18:07 |
| crypticmofi | any ideas ? | 18:07 |
| ckaeboss | theadmin: thanks | 18:07 |
| ska | theadmin: yea, I have a big list of packages I want to remove and this seems like the fasted way to try it. I'm fuzzy on the details after a long time. | 18:07 |
| crypticmofi | or what i the launcher stuff in ubuntu 12 so i can google it ? | 18:07 |
| theadmin | !notunity | crypticmofi | 18:07 |
| ubottu | crypticmofi: 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 | 18:07 |

| auronandace | fobo: lsusb | 18:08 |
| bobweaver | lsusb fobo | 18:08 |
| theadmin | push: Hint: use "sudo -i" to get a root shell and then you can run commands as you normally would. It's not really safe though (you may erase something you don't want to, for instance) | 18:09 |
| fobo | thanks :) | 18:09 |
| ActionParsnip | fobo: lsusb is a good start | 18:09 |
| ska | theadmin: at least that is how I used to do it. but i forgot the dselect-upgrade part | 18:09 |
| crypticmofi | theadmin so just isntall gnome-panel ? | 18:09 |
| theadmin | crypticmofi: Yeah, pretty much | 18:09 |
| fobo | i'll send information to the usb modeswitch developer :) | 18:09 |

| rsw | brb gonna check bios if the pci lane is enabled cos i dont know what else to do to get the other card detected | 18:17 |
| Jordan_U | rtdos: Are you looking for the development libraries (headers), or the runtime libraries? If you're looking for the runtime libraries they should be installed when you install any package which needs them. What is your end goal? | 18:18 |
| rtdos | @Jordan_U: both. | 18:18 |
| theadmin | rtdos: OpenGL implementations are provided by whoever created your GPU driver, so search for a -dev package with your GPU driver's name in front of that. | 18:19 |
| sukima | What hardware does http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android | 18:19 |
| rtdos | @Jordan_U: want to run wolf4sdl, doom, and mame ports but most importantly want to develop games using sdl / opengl | 18:19 |
| miraj | people still play doom? | 18:20 |
| Jordan_U | rtdos: sudo apt-get install wolf4sdl | 18:20 |
| rtdos | one stupid question, do the sdl libraries require a gui ? | 18:20 |
| Jordan_U | rtdos: You can build applications against sdl without a GUI, but you need a GUI to actually run said application (unless maybe it's audio only). | 18:21 |
| === cesar is now known as Guest55533 | ||
| rtdos | ok thanks Jordan_U | 18:23 |
| rtdos | @Jordan_U am back to: how do i d/l the development libraries for SDL/OpenGL ? | 18:24 |
| Jordan_U | rtdos: "apt-cache showsrc wolf4sdl" shows that wolf4sdl build-depends on libsdl1.2-dev and libsdl-mixer1.2-dev. I don't know enough about sdl to say if that's what you'll want to develop against as well. | 18:24 |
| drecute | karamel4e_: what backups? | 18:25 |
| rocket_hamster | rtdos: sudo apt-get libsdl1.2-dev | 18:26 |
| karamel4e_ | recute: What's the question? | 18:26 |
| karamel4e_ | drecute: What's the question? | 18:26 |

| kevin__ | opinion noted dr_wills | 18:34 |
| ska | theadmin: it does.. | 18:34 |
| ska | theadmin: but its kinda crude. | 18:34 |

| ahferroin7 | kevin__: sshfs is easy, although it is somewhat slow | 18:38 |
| ahferroin7 | EuphOria-XX: I'm pretty sure there isn't a repair program for btrfs yet | 18:39 |
| kevin__ | sshfs? not looked at that. I did try nfs but got lot in the set up. | 18:39 |
| D3 | anyone experienced with tar.bz2 compilation ? | 18:39 |
| miraj | kevin__ : do you intend the watch the video live on-the-fly, or transfer them forst and then watch them? | 18:39 |
| kevin__ | miraj, transfer (temporarily) and watch later | 18:39 |
| miraj | kevin__ : in that case, ftp is fastest | 18:40 |
| Kevin` | kevin__: any specific reason? even wifi is fast enough to watch them on the fly | 18:40 |
| Euph0ria-XX | I recall reading that there has been a repair tool since quantal alpha-1 but I was hoping someone here might have had a bit more experience with the testing of the alphas. | 18:40 |

| dr_willis | layke: just edit the /etc/fstab file to mount that drive where you want. | 18:43 |
| dr_willis | layke: no need to have it in /m,edia/ and /home/ both | 18:43 |

| layke | dr_willis, How do I detect that? df something? I can't reemmeber? | 18:45 |
| ozette | just by opening the file from that shared folder somethings look different | 18:45 |
| calico | I have an issue with my atheros wireless, it keeps dropping me, could I do something about it? It starts ok after installation, and then the problem keeps on getting more and more intensive | 18:45 |
| layke | dr_willis, df -T remembered. It's ext4 | 18:46 |
| sliddjur | So im taking my first linux class. where would be a good place to store files that are supposed to be shared between groups? | 18:46 |
| miraj | sliddjur : under /home is usually Ok | 18:48 |
| sliddjur | in /usr/groupfolder ? | 18:48 |
| ratcheer | sliddjur: Make a subdirectory under /home | 18:48 |
| WeThePeople | hi | 18:48 |
| sliddjur | ok. why not in /usr? | 18:48 |
| miraj | sliddjur : /usr is usually more for system things rather than shared user files | 18:49 |
| ratcheer | sliddjur: Put it wherever you want, just make sure it is a special subdirectory. | 18:49 |
| theadmin | sliddjur: /usr is much of a system directory, it's a second-level hierarchy, sort of "a second /", so to say. | 18:49 |
| sliddjur | I made the groupfolder g+s and group owner of the specific group | 18:50 |
| ChogyDan | calico: what version of ubuntu? | 18:50 |
| sliddjur | ratcheer: is that what u mean by special subdir? | 18:50 |
| calico | ChogyDan: the latest | 18:50 |
| ChogyDan | calico: I thought atheros issues were a thing of the past, but you could try installing linux backports modules | 18:51 |
| ratcheer | sliddjur: I just mean a folder that's used by nothing else, a new folder. But, I agree with theadmin | 18:51 |
| sliddjur | Alright. will do that :) | 18:51 |
| sliddjur | thanks folks | 18:51 |
| theadmin | It seems Ubuntu dropped support for about every architecture but i386 and amd64, is that really so? | 18:52 |
| ph1rmw4r3 | why use /usr insted of /home/user ?? | 18:53 |
| calico | ChogyDan: how do I go about that, I find only old threads | 18:53 |
| miraj | theadmin : as of two days ago, macs apparently were | 18:54 |
| Orpheon | I need help with my ubuntu 11.10; The whole thing crashes at boot. Escaping to console with Alt-Ctrl-F1 and typing startx starts the whole GUI, but Pulseaudio is dead, the networking services ditto and unity refuses to start in unity-non-2d. | 18:54 |
| sliddjur | If a dir has g+s can users of that group execute files? | 18:55 |
| ChogyDan | calico: Im not sure actually. It's changed every release, and I can't quite figure this one out. Doesn't really seem to be in the repos that I can see | 18:55 |

| ChogyDan | Orpheon: why aren't you on 12.04? | 18:56 |
| Orpheon | idk, it's not a dualboot | 18:56 |
| Orpheon | ChogyDan: because this isn't my laptop | 18:56 |
| theadmin | miraj: "macs" is not a processor architecture, unless you're refering to the old ppc arch (which interests me too though) | 18:56 |
| eleazar | is there a firewall built into ubuntu? | 18:56 |
| theadmin | But primarily, I wonder why there's no more support for ia64 | 18:56 |
| jrib | sliddjur: your question isn't clear, but in any case g+s should be irrelevant as to wherer or not a user can execute a file | 18:56 |
| theadmin | eleazar: Yes, Ubuntu comes with ufw (an iptables frontend) | 18:56 |
| Orpheon | pulseaudio also complains of access denied on a ListAdapters reply | 18:57 |
| Orpheon | whatever that means | 18:57 |
| ChogyDan | Orpheon: is there room on the HDD? | 18:57 |
| eleazar | theadmin, great, how do i open ufw? (it's not showing up in dash home) | 18:57 |
| theadmin | eleazar: It's a command-line tool. If you want a GUI, install "gufw" from the software center. | 18:58 |
| ssta | theadmin: largely because nobody was interested enough to maintain it I think...it was never that widespread an architecture | 18:58 |
| theadmin | ssta: Guess that makes sense... I just hope there are no plans to drop i386 since it's no longer really "widespread" | 18:58 |
| BluesKaj | Orpheon, check if alsa is stiil installed then , pulseuadio runs on top of alsa as a sound server | 18:58 |
| Orpheon | ChogyDan: yes, there is 261 GB | 18:59 |
| Orpheon | free | 18:59 |
| eleazar | theadmin, awesome, thanks! | 18:59 |
| ssta | theadmin: I doubt there are plans, but the day will come I'm sure | 18:59 |
| Orpheon | BluesKaj: alsa seems to be up and running | 18:59 |
| ChogyDan | Orpheon: well, I dunno. Maybe there are clues if you knew how this started. Upgrading and clean installing are both good ways to start clean | 19:00 |
| Orpheon | ChogyDan: I suspect doing stuff with compiz destroyed stuff | 19:01 |
| ChogyDan | BluesKaj: Orpheon: I thought alsa ran on top of pulse as a plugin | 19:01 |
| Orpheon | but I'm not sure | 19:01 |
| theadmin | ssta: Well I'm on amd64 mostly, speaking of, what -march is used when official packages for amd64 are compiled? k8? core2? | 19:01 |
| eleazar | ah, looks like the firewall is disabled by default | 19:02 |
| ssta | theadmin: I dunno | 19:02 |
| theadmin | ssta: Ok, never mind, not much of an important thing anyway | 19:03 |
| BluesKaj | ChogyDan, nope , it's the reverse , altho pulse isn't a plugin | 19:03 |
| ChogyDan | Orpheon: well, I used to run a separate /home so I could easily reinstall if I messed things up. Reinstalling really can be the easier than trying to track down problems individually | 19:03 |
| ChogyDan | BluesKaj: I was saying that alsa is a plugin | 19:03 |
| BluesKaj | ChogyDan, you can run alsa without pulse but pulse can't run without alsa | 19:04 |
| ChogyDan | BluesKaj: I have always heard the opposite, which is why I asked | 19:05 |
| ChogyDan | but I don't really know | 19:05 |
| BluesKaj | well , whoever says that, is misinformed , ChogyDan | 19:05 |
| theadmin | ChogyDan: ALSA is the common linux sound system. Pulse is another sound system, which uses ALSA as a backend and adds more capabilities to it. | 19:06 |
| BluesKaj | too bad we need pulseaudio ,. alsa used towork fine on it's own ,,now the devs are barely expanding it's capabilities due to pulse getting all the dev work | 19:07 |
| Phiscribe | i cant remember pulse ever working right | 19:08 |
| Orpheon | still need help, if anyone has to give | 19:09 |
| BluesKaj | Phiscribe, it seems ok on my setup, I just think if alsa could be configured to work with webaudio like flash audio , then pulse would be redundant | 19:10 |
| rtdos | ok lost sudo capability, am getting weird messages when i try to use sudo. how can i fix this without logging in as root? | 19:10 |
| Phiscribe | i got systems what have browers that play sound, no pulse, just alsa | 19:10 |
| ChogyDan | theadmin: again, I have read the opposite everytime. This is the first I have heard alsa being a backend to pulse. My understanding is pulse took over everything, and supported alsa as a legacy via a plugin | 19:11 |
| unknown420 | can a staffer please give me an unaffilated clock? | 19:11 |
| theadmin | ChogyDan: Well that sounds completely wrong. | 19:11 |
| unknown420 | cloak? | 19:11 |
| theadmin | unknown420: #freenode please | 19:11 |
| theadmin | unknown420: Not here | 19:11 |
| Phiscribe | pulse is an abstraction layer, if alsa is busted, no pusle | 19:11 |
| unknown420 | where? | 19:11 |
| theadmin | unknown420: As I said, join the #freenode channel. | 19:12 |
| BluesKaj | Phiscribe, using onboard audio on those systems without pulse? | 19:12 |
| unknown420 | cheers | 19:12 |
| HEuiHEUIhEui | hi everyone, what irc client you use? | 19:12 |
| theadmin | HEuiHEUIhEui: Please refrain from taking polls in this channel, this here is for support issues only. | 19:13 |
| Phiscribe | pulseaudio is like a software mixer. its on top of the userland, it requires something under like alsa, pulse is never required | 19:13 |
| HEuiHEUIhEui | I'm trying a lot os clients, what´s the top client actually? | 19:13 |
| jagginess | HEuiHEUIhEui, there's google I use-> "List of irc clients linux site:wikipedia.org" | 19:13 |
| HEuiHEUIhEui | jagginess: and for windows? | 19:14 |
| theadmin | Phiscribe: Infact, Gnome 3 "requires" Pulse. More of, they were too lazy to let it control ALSA directly so they only let it use Pulse. | 19:14 |
| jagginess | HEuiHEUIhEui, google | 19:14 |

| Orpheon | would anyone have an explanation to why everything including lightdm and pulseaudio don't work because of permission errors? | 19:15 |
| jrib | Orpheon: because of permission errors | 19:15 |
| doug1 | jrib: Oh i see. didn't know that existed. Looks like uit has output of postinstall scripts. Handy. thanks | 19:15 |
| jagginess | Orpheon, you getting desktop freezes? | 19:16 |
| jrib | doug1: yeah. It will only have it for packages you've installed though. I'm assuming that's good enough for your question | 19:16 |
| Phiscribe | stuff doesnt work cause dev's like to make new cool things, not fix boring old bugs maybe? | 19:16 |
| Orpheon | jrib: do you happen to know a possible fix? | 19:16 |
| doug1 | jrib: totally | 19:16 |
| jrib | Orpheon: I don't even know the problem | 19:16 |
| BluesKaj | Orpheon, were you using autoloogin previous to your lightdm crash ? | 19:16 |
| Phiscribe | and nobody is getting paid enuff | 19:16 |
| Orpheon | jagginess: no | 19:16 |
| Orpheon | BluesKaj: no | 19:17 |
| Orpheon | oh, and spftware center doesn't look capable of installing packages either | 19:17 |
| Orpheon | and no network connection of any kind, wired or not, can be made | 19:17 |
| Phiscribe | Orpheon if ever run a gui app with sudo instead of gksudo, well weird things can happen | 19:18 |
| jagginess | Orpheon, if you're *sure lightdm is a problem, and tried all avenues, there's also "gdm" as a login manager | 19:18 |
| jagginess | Orpheon, gdm will start and disable lightdm | 19:18 |
| jagginess | ,/(it disables the other, you can always enable lightdm later, with dpkg-reconfigure lightdm) | 19:18 |
| Orpheon | gdm; Unrecognized service | 19:18 |
| jagginess | apt-get install it | 19:19 |

| zanberdo | question: can one install 12.04 with full disk encryption? That is, I would like to partition my disk with /boot, /, /home, and swap. I've encrypted the entire partition, used lvm to create the four listed parts but when grub2 attempts to write to the MBR I get the dreaded GRUB can not write to /dev/sda error. Should I use the old-style of creating /boot as unencrypted? I thought grub2 had support to decrypt a part then boot | 19:19 |
| zanberdo | . Is that not the case? | 19:19 |
| jagginess | well then get internet | 19:19 |
| jagginess | a pc without internet is useless | 19:19 |
| BluesKaj | Orpheon, suggest you install either gdm or kdm for login , lightdm still has some bugs | 19:19 |
| Orpheon | jagginess: As I mentioned before, I can't get it to connect | 19:19 |
| Phiscribe | Orpheon check your /tmp permisions, if they are out of whack...well | 19:19 |
| === bdcs is now known as Guest86937 | ||
| Orpheon | BluesKaj: as a permanent solution I want lightdm | 19:19 |
| Orpheon | that tmp idea might be correct... let me check | 19:20 |
| BluesKaj | Orpheon, sometimes what you want isn't going to work for you , but it's your call | 19:20 |
| jagginess | why not help him fix his internet, that's more important.. | 19:20 |

| ChogyDan | Dresk|Laptop: try this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-$(uname -r) | 19:48 |
| ChogyDan | Dresk|Laptop: or maybe you want to remove the old video card driver | 19:49 |
| === n is now known as Guest31424 | ||
| ChogyDan | Dresk|Laptop: sudo apt-get remove dkms that might remove all the proprietary video card drivers | 19:50 |
| blackdevilz | salve | 19:50 |
| Dresk|Laptop | ChogyDan: Any risk of anything else it might remove? | 19:51 |
| thebishop | alpre, on the "Output Devices" tab, under "Built-in Audio Analog Stereo", when I plug/unplug, the "Port" field switches from "Speakers" to "Headphones" and vice-versa | 19:51 |
| Hexeon | Does anyone know about "Schulze method" for voting? | 19:51 |
| ChogyDan | Dresk|Laptop: yes, virtualbox drivers, or any other driver. But if you describe the hardware, I might be able to give a more targeted command | 19:51 |
| Dresk|Laptop | ChogyDan: I'm going from an NVIDIA GTS 200, using (I believe) NVIDIA's proprietary installer (but I can check for dkms) to Intel Ivy Bridge onboard (Z77 chipset) | 19:52 |
| ChogyDan | Hexeon: try asking in offtopic | 19:52 |
| ChogyDan | Dresk|Laptop: oO so you just removed the card? | 19:52 |
| Dresk|Laptop | ChogyDan: In the system I am working on right now, the card is plugged in but the BIOS was told to use onboard and that's where the HDMI cable is | 19:53 |
| ChogyDan | Dresk|Laptop: regardless, `dkms status` if nvidia is the only thing listed, removing dkms should work | 19:53 |

| LibertyTrader | I have a 32 GB SSD and 500 GB HD In my laptop, what is the best way to install ubuntu? | 19:54 |
| ChogyDan | LibertyTrader: define "best" and maybe folks can help further | 19:55 |
| BluesKaj | the nouveau driver should work with nividia card and doesn't require Dresk|Laptop | 19:55 |
| LibertyTrader | I want to use SSD to load my system and maybe some applications, but HDD for everything else | 19:55 |
| LibertyTrader | Probably just system loaded by SSD for now | 19:56 |
| alpre | thebishop: I'd guess a different jack is used than what you expect, you should be able to change the mapping in the module options then. | 19:56 |

| BluesKaj | Dresk|Laptop, it doesn't reuire dkms | 19:56 |

| ChogyDan | LibertyTrader: well, I don't know. Maybe maybe you could have all the app files mounted to the HDD? | 20:00 |

| tfhlap | is there a way / a software that allows me to tell which device is using how much bandwidth of my wifi network for Ubuntu? | 20:05 |
| NEone | tfhlap: I guess your linux box can't measure that. You've got to be looking in the wifi-router, there must be options and a monitor for QoS/bandwidth. | 20:05 |
| ChogyDan | LibertyTrader: in fact, the HDD might be faster for that... | 20:05 |

| ubuntUser | one is paritioned from 250 to a 211 and a 38 | 20:25 |

| ikonia | ubuntUser: master boot record of the boot disk - install grub to it | 20:25 |

| ubuntUser | and i tihnk i messed it up twice as it seems | 20:26 |

| DrGrov | Hi, sitting on 10.04. Would like to check that I do not have SSH enabled on my install and check for attempted root access from the outside. I check the log in /var/log/messages, correct? I usually use grep ssh /var/log/messages | 20:51 |

| mbrigdan | _cronus_, I was actually just looking at it! I'll see if their website explains how to select even/odd | 20:52 |
| zykotick9 | Dresk|Laptop: mounting stuff won't affect the df of /. what is taking up the space? is it still being written to by something? | 20:53 |

| subcool | can someon help me setup magnet links | 20:55 |
| zykotick9 | Dresk|Laptop: you need to figure out what is using the space (something you should already "know" as well). how much space is apt using for it's cache ("du -sh /var/cache/apt/archives/" to find out)? | 20:55 |
| _cronus_ | I think that you append even our odd to the range of the cat command. Unfortunately I am not in front of Ubuntu right now to test. I'll take a look at the manual and tell you more. | 20:55 |
| extrasolar | I'd try upgrading to ubuntu 12.xx | 20:56 |

| mbrigdan | _cronus_, FWIW, you give the file a handle, then add even or odd to the handle in the cat command (ex: pdftk A=Linear-Algebra.pdf cat Aodd output Linear-Algebra-fixed.pdf) | 20:57 |
| zykotick9 | Dresk|Laptop: suggestion, "cd /" then "du -sh * 2>/dev/null" to get the sizes of all your root directories (might take a while) | 20:57 |
| subcool | extrasolar, which one are you referring to? | 20:57 |
| zykotick9 | DrGrov: "ps aux | grep -i ssh" should tell you. look for sshd. | 20:58 |
| jrib | DrGrov: initctl status ssh | 20:58 |
| zykotick9 | DrGrov: "sudo /etc/init.d/openssh status" might also work | 20:58 |

| DrGrov | Do I actually need a firewall while running if I disable SSHD? | 21:01 |
| zykotick9 | DrGrov: if you're behind a home router, if you don't run services - you don't have "much" to worry about. i don't run firewalls on each computer, just the network. | 21:02 |
| DrGrov | zykotick9: Yes, I am behind a home router. No, I do not run any services but would like to turn off that SSH daemon though since it probably got stuck running and starting when I boot up. | 21:03 |
| zykotick9 | DrGrov: sorry man, i've forgotten how it worked (already demonstrated publicly above ;) | 21:03 |
| DrGrov | zykotick9: No worries. | 21:04 |
| DrGrov | So, how do I turn off SSHD on 10.04? I do not like it to be running upon boot. | 21:04 |
| DrGrov | The problem is that I can not even remember why I did it in the first place :D | 21:04 |
| zykotick9 | DrGrov: if you install it, it's enabled by default (as it should be ;) | 21:05 |
| DrGrov | zykotick9: Ok, I leave it be then. No worries | 21:05 |
| jrib | DrGrov: "touch /etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_be_run" will stop it from running at boot (or if you don't want it at all anymore, just uninstall it) | 21:06 |
| _cronus_ | Drgrov: the easiest is to remove the server I think | 21:06 |
| zykotick9 | DrGrov: do you see an openssh file in /etc/init/ ? (NOT init.d) with sudo you can rename the script to foo.disabled and reboot and it "should" be gone. | 21:07 |
| ikonia | follow what jrib said | 21:07 |
| DrGrov | jrib: That did something at least when I did it as sudo :) | 21:07 |
| DrGrov | jrib: Thanks :) | 21:07 |
| DrGrov | Thanks for the help guys | 21:09 |

| atari314 | Hello, does anyone know where lightdm set vsync on for the session it starts? | 21:24 |
| jrib | zykotick9: well, some users may want to not have it run at boot but still manage it manually with upstart. I thought creation of that file allowed for that, but apparently it doesn't (so you end up with the same situation as renaming the .conf in /etc/init) | 21:25 |
| jrib | I guess in 10.04, you have to resort to editing the start on values in the scripts themselves | 21:25 |
| zykotick9 | jrib: foo.disabled is almost the only way on ubuntu to manage services?!? | 21:25 |
| jrib | zykotick9: well later versions of upstart have override files you can use | 21:26 |
| trism | zykotick9: you can just comment out the 'start on' line in lucid | 21:26 |
| _cronus_ | Jrib: I think update.rc is the official way of managing services under debian. | 21:27 |
| zykotick9 | trism: true as well! but more of a pita in my opinion, useing the number stuff makes little sence to me. | 21:27 |

| === anonymous is now known as Guest95789 | ||
| zykotick9 | dr_willis: ;) | 21:55 |
| _cronus_ | Sebastien: what certain of Ubuntu are you using? Sudo should be installed by default. | 21:55 |
| ubuntu8 | nydel no | 21:55 |
| OerHeks | !intrepid | 21:55 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) was the ninth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 30th, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. | 21:55 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu8: then you are on your own basically... | 21:55 |
| nydel | ubuntu8: are you on that system right now? | 21:55 |
| zykotick9 | ubuntu still in brown ;) | 21:56 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu8: the old servers get moved to an archive server. so if you want to keep installing stuff. you need to change your sources.list | 21:56 |
| Sebastien | _cronus_ not sure | 21:56 |
| dr_willis | !eol | 21:56 |
| ubottu | End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 21:56 |
| nydel | ubuntu8: you're technically on your own, we don't support that release. but i am happy to help you unofficially. | 21:56 |
| ubuntu8 | if i upgrade loose my driver ? | 21:56 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu8: we have no idea.. | 21:56 |
| dr_willis | most newer releases i find work better with any problem hardware i had in the past. | 21:57 |
| dr_willis | for a release that old.. a clean install may be a MUCH better idea | 21:57 |
| nydel | dr_willis: was there ubuntu one or any other backup type utility in 8.10? | 21:57 |
| dr_willis | nydel: no idea.. that was quite some time ago | 21:58 |
| nydel | dr_willis: i think ubuntu8 will need to upgrade, we should help him to make that process as painless as possible. | 21:58 |
| Norrin | just ran apt-get install apache2 | 21:58 |

| FloodBot1 | Norrin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 21:58 |
| ubuntu8 | which version I have to upgrade? | 21:58 |
| dr_willis | most painless would be a clean install to upgrade to 12.10 may be quite a challange | 21:58 |
| OerHeks | Ubuntu One has a client application that runs on Ubuntu 9.04 and later ... | 21:58 |
| nydel | dr_willis: okay, that sounds right to me. so we'll need him to back up everything he'll lose | 21:59 |
| dr_willis | You would have to upgrade to the closest LTS then go LTS -> LTS to get to 12.04 | 21:59 |
| dr_willis | and Hope it works. ;) | 21:59 |
| nydel | ubuntu8: what "driver" are you worried about losing? | 21:59 |
| ubuntu8 | all :D i try on this pc to run an lastest ubuntu usb live | 22:00 |
| ubuntu8 | but not run | 22:00 |
| ubuntu8 | this version run very well | 22:01 |
| dr_willis | details would be more helpfull. | 22:01 |
| nydel | ubuntu8: it's extremely outdated. i think you will be pleasantly surprised by precise (12.04)'s automatic hardware support, don't you think, dr_willis ? | 22:01 |
| sliddjur | is the settings of /etc/login.defs loaded every time and for every user logging in? | 22:02 |
| ubuntu8 | there is a way to update to this version so that I keep the current settings? | 22:02 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu8: yes.. and that updateing may take a few hours.. | 22:03 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu8: and it may not work totally, or may have other issues | 22:03 |
| nydel | ubuntu8: i'm totally stabbing in the dark, but try sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install; sudo apt-get upgrade. | 22:03 |
| ubuntu8 | sudo apt-get not work | 22:03 |
| dr_willis | and if the servers have been moved to the archive servers for that release. then you will need to 'fix' your sources.list first | 22:03 |
| _cronus_ | Sebastien: you could try to edit /etc/passwd to make sure the login shell is properly set | 22:03 |
| dr_willis | which is why apt-get 'not works' | 22:03 |
| ubuntu8 | becouse probably the server | 22:04 |
| ubuntu8 | moving files | 22:04 |
| nydel | dr_willis: do you think it might be helpful if i upload my sources.list & ubuntu8 tries replacing his with mine? | 22:04 |
| nydel | dr_willis: or would that just be a fubar | 22:04 |
| ubuntu8 | Err http://security.ubuntu.com intrepid-security/main Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.190 80] | 22:04 |
| dr_willis | nydel: if he were upgradeing, he has to upgrade to the next release and the next.. untill he gets to a LTS version. THEN go LTS to LTS | 22:04 |
| dr_willis | !eol | 22:05 |
| nydel | dr_willis: right right of course | 22:05 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu8: yes.. all those lines in sources.list need to be changed to point to the right a4rchive server | 22:05 |
| === jesseC_ is now known as jesseC | ||
| nydel | ubuntu8: does the machine run only ubuntu, or does it boot anything else such as windows | 22:05 |
| dr_willis | then you could upgrade/update, or perhaps you could get lucky and just try the 'release upgrade' tool. | 22:05 |
| === jesseC is now known as Guest47442 | ||
| dr_willis | ubuntu8: in any case. i definatly would backup any imporntant data first. | 22:06 |
| Gycklarn | Quick question. can 'apt-get -y upgrade' make the computer reboot, if deemed necessary? | 22:06 |
| ubuntu8 | i have dual boot with windows xp | 22:06 |
| dr_willis | Gycklarn: not that ive ever noticed or seen | 22:06 |
| SolarisBoy | Gycklarn: afaik no - it should prompt or notify you to do though | 22:06 |

| nydel | Gycklarn: may i ask why you're doing that? just curious. | 22:07 |

| ubuntu8 | no | 22:07 |
| blackdevilz | io | 22:07 |
| tfittsy | can someone help me figure out what is wrong with an init.d script for managing nginx. it seems like the only thing it does right is start the server. it gives the wrong status and can't kill the service | 22:09 |
| WeThePeople | is it possible to hack inti ubuntu from windows | 22:09 |
| nydel | ubuntu8: if i were you, i would boot into windows & use wubi to make a new possibly temporary install of ubuntu LTS. you can then boot into it & see how it works, plus you can mount your old ubuntu partition & copy over needed files etc. or you could make a ubuntu cd & install on a new partition | 22:09 |
| ubuntu8 | in the uptade manager i find Update to ubuntu 9.04 | 22:09 |
| ubuntu8 | but they are supported ? | 22:09 |
| nydel | ubuntu8: basically, you are going to have more trouble than anyone would hope for if you try to upgrade from so far away. | 22:09 |

| nydel | ubuntu8: do you have enough hard disk free to create a new partition for a new install of ubuntu? | 22:10 |
| OerHeks | ubuntu8 see the links given, all info is there. | 22:10 |
| nydel | ubuntu8: you could start fresh then migrate your personal files & settings over. a lot of things are going to work differently with the newer ubuntu so you are best starting fresh than trying to upgrade. | 22:11 |
| nydel | does this assessment sparkle with all the girls? | 22:11 |
| * nydel hopes someone says 'sunshine' | 22:12 | |
| ubuntu8 | This version of this hardware is working and fast, I'd hate to use a new version with the live usb I have had many problems, the screen could not be seen for example | 22:12 |
| ubuntu8 | probably keep this, but there is a way to install programs manually? for example Xchat , where i to donwload and install ? | 22:13 |
| nydel | ubuntu8: new ubuntu has a software center. or you can use apt-get or aptitude. | 22:13 |
| ubuntu8 | most web sites give the comand to shell but not the link to dowload | 22:14 |
| dr_willis | You would be downloading several 100+mb of data.. more likely a few GB to do that ubuntu8 .. | 22:14 |
| dr_willis | Its best to just reinstall what you want. | 22:14 |
| dr_willis | and let the package manager download them as needed | 22:14 |
| Norrin | how do you set a password so that it cannot be used? | 22:15 |
| nydel | dr_willis is right. & ubuntu8: unless your hardware is particularly strange or outdated, i think you're going to be surprised at how easy the new ubuntu is to install & configure. find some joy in starting fresh, that's what i'd do. | 22:15 |
| Norrin | was it passwd \* <name> or something? | 22:15 |
| dr_willis | Norrin: you mean disable an account? | 22:16 |
| daemongpl | add keyboard shortcut to disable laptop touchpad? | 22:16 |
| nydel | nologin account? | 22:16 |
| Norrin | dr_willis, not necessary. just set a invalid password, so login can't be used with that account | 22:16 |
| duhnnie | hi everyone, i have a problem here with my Ubuntu installation on VirtualBox , when i try to start it it shows a message "the system is running in low graphics mode" | 22:16 |

| ubuntu8 | what is the FASTEST (not the BETTER) Desktop environment for ubuntu?? | 22:33 |
| W3R | Fastest is probably openbox. | 22:33 |
| kostkon | that escalated quickly... | 22:33 |
| ubuntu-noob-101- | guys need help.. just installed ubuntu 12.04 update stuck at getting dconf-gsettings-backend.. its only 16 kB? | 22:34 |
| ubuntu8 | tanx w3r | 22:34 |
| alpre | duhnnie: did you install guest additions somehow? | 22:34 |
| ubuntu8 | W3R openbox vs Enlightenment? | 22:34 |
| W3R | En is more shiny | 22:35 |
| W3R | thats about it | 22:35 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu8: radically differnt apps/desktops/wms | 22:35 |
| duhnnie | alpre: i've installed guest additions yeasterday, and it was working fine, | 22:35 |
| W3R | Should be same kind of fast. | 22:35 |
| W3R | I prefer openbox. | 22:35 |
| hwkiller-netbook | ubuntu8, that's hard to gauge really. openbox is quick. tiling wm's are very quick. xfce is quick too | 22:35 |
| W3R | xfce is shinier | 22:35 |
| W3R | a lot easier to use for new people. | 22:35 |
| W3R | *correction | 22:35 |
| alpre | duhnnie: you mean you used the menu on your host system to do it? Did you try to reinstall them, just run the installer again from terminal. | 22:35 |
| hwkiller-netbook | xfce is the quickest of the fully featured DE's | 22:35 |
| W3R | That is if you install xubuntu | 22:36 |
| hwkiller-netbook | well, enlightenment is quick too, but it's still buggy | 22:36 |
| W3R | indeed. | 22:36 |
| dr_willis | lubuntu is very nice. perhaps missing some features people may want. but still useable | 22:36 |
| alpre | duhnnie: other than that I am really not sure what to do | 22:36 |
| duhnnie | alpre: i've used the VBOX ISO file, | 22:36 |
| hwkiller-netbook | does lxde use gtk3? | 22:37 |
| duhnnie | alpre: i'll try reinstall from terminal, can you guide me please? | 22:37 |
| alpre | duhnnie: yes, maybe try using it again | 22:37 |
| alpre | duhnnie: just ask | 22:37 |
| duhnnie | alpre: ok, it can be private? there are so much messages here | 22:38 |

| ChogyDan | how do I turn pidgin off? | 22:41 |
| dr_willis | sudo sh - is not advised... sudo -s or sudo -i is perfered | 22:41 |
| W3R | Turn pidgin off? | 22:41 |
| ubuntu-noob-101- | ChogyDan: Uninstall Ubuntu | 22:41 |
| W3R | Open the menu, exit. | 22:41 |
| Kentos | whats the basic hardware list for making a decent low-mid traffick website. Would one server be enough(without media streaming or down/uploads) ? | 22:41 |
| ubuntu-noob-101- | Ctrl+Alt+F1. > sudo reboot | 22:42 |
| Fuchs | ubuntu-noob-101-: please don't do that in here, thanks. | 22:42 |
| funky1 | ChogyDan: open terminal and "killall pidgin" | 22:42 |
| W3R | Hardware is rarely the issue Kentos | 22:42 |
| ChogyDan | ive been right clicking in the unity menu, and clicking quit, it keeps logging me back in | 22:42 |
| W3R | Network is. | 22:42 |
| duhnnie | alpre: i'm trying access /media/VBOXADDITIONS_XXXXX but it shows mw "Permiso Denegado" (Spanish Version), i think it means "Access denied" | 22:42 |
| Kentos | network speed? | 22:42 |
| ubuntu-noob-101- | Fuchs: why is it ubuntu update stuck at 16 kB of file? | 22:42 |
| W3R | How fast your network connection is Kentos | 22:42 |
| Fuchs | ubuntu-noob-101-: hard to say, maybe the remoted disconnected or something else happened, have you checked the log files? | 22:43 |
| Kentos | 30/4 currently | 22:43 |
| W3R | That will likely be saturated far before the server is. | 22:43 |

| W3R | A cheap celeron would be more than sufficient. | 22:43 |

| ChogyDan | I has no close option in pidgin! | 22:43 |
| W3R | router* | 22:43 |
| ubuntu-noob-101- | Fuchs: yes... it says it was moved to something.. it is actually dconf-gsettings-backend | 22:43 |
| funky1 | ChogyDan: open terminal and "killall pidgin" | 22:43 |
| W3R | Yup that will work | 22:43 |
| dr_willis | ChogyDan: why are you needing to close pidgin? | 22:44 |
| Phiscribe | ubuntu-noob-101- out of disk space?open dialoag behind the one your are looking at waiting on input? another program open trying to do updates? | 22:44 |
| ChogyDan | funky1: I would like the GUI method | 22:44 |
| ubuntu-noob-101- | space? its only 16kB | 22:44 |
| Kentos | interesting, it won't run into many problems say with proccessing the read files or anything? Im using a really old computer | 22:44 |
| duhnnie | alpre: i've used "cd /media" then "cd VBOXADDITIONS_4.1.6_74713" | 22:44 |
| funky1 | ChogyDan: what happens when you right click icon and use "quit"? | 22:44 |
| Phiscribe | ubuntu-noob-101- just guessing. what about open dialog waiting on input? alt tab around | 22:44 |
| Kentos | its got a dual core Xeon in it, which to me sounds good for what i paid for the whole thing | 22:45 |
| alpre | duhnnie: does 'ls /media/cdrom0/' show something? | 22:45 |
| ChogyDan | dr_willis: no other reason than I want to. The problem is that it keeps logging back on. I think it is restarting based on my net connection, which is flacky | 22:45 |
| ubuntu-noob-101- | Phiscribe: I am not following u.. | 22:45 |
| ChogyDan | funky1: ^ | 22:45 |
| W3R | ChogyDan, my pidgin has the quit option under buddies | 22:45 |
| alpre | duhnnie: there should be an installer .sh file for linux in there | 22:45 |
| funky1 | ChogyDan: what does that mean? | 22:45 |
| ubuntu-noob-101- | Phiscribe: Fresh install Ubuntu 12.04, Update, and im stuck only on this dconf-gsettings-backend | 22:45 |

| alpre | duhnnie: do 'sudo mount /media/cdrom' | 22:46 |
| ubuntu-noob-101- | Phiscribe: any idea? | 22:46 |
| ChogyDan | funky1: omg, 12.04, but I think this is an issue with unity | 22:47 |
| duhnnie | alpre: i've just used the virtual box menu to mount the iso | 22:47 |
| dr_willis | ChogyDan: i just clicked the close button.. and it closed..... | 22:47 |
| funky1 | do you have the pidgin icon in the taskbar? | 22:47 |
| funky1 | i have also piding 12.04 | 22:47 |
| alpre | duhnnie: that only put the cd into the virtual drive, you need to mount manually now. | 22:47 |
| dr_willis | not any more ... no icon | 22:47 |
| funky1 | i mean pidgin in 12.04 | 22:47 |
| funky1 | when i right click the icon, i can just select quit | 22:48 |
| duhnnie | alpre: ok, what command i need to run to mount it? | 22:48 |
| alpre | duhnnie: do 'sudo mount /media/cdrom' | 22:48 |

| duhnnie | alpre: it fails, it shows: "no se puede encontrar /media/cdrom en etc/fstab o etc/mtab" | 22:50 |
| nca_ | hi all, quick question. I have a dual-port e1000 card in my desktop. Is there a straight-forward way to bond the interfaces through Network Manager? Googling just results in server configs (which just give issues with NM still running) | 22:50 |
| duhnnie | alpre: it fails, it shows: "no se puede encontrar /media/cdrom en etc/fstab o etc/mtab" = "it can't be found ..." | 22:50 |

| Phiscribe | ubuntu-noob-101- try dragging the window to the left or right or up or down and see if ANOTHER window is behind it waiting on you to answer a config question | 22:52 |
| Phiscribe | if its not that, i dunno | 22:52 |

| W3R | Kentos, you are better asking the businesses about that than here. | 22:55 |
| Kentos | yeah, im just wondering if theres any real difference | 22:55 |
| W3R | Business connections tend to be higher through put | 22:55 |
| W3R | i.e. faster | 22:55 |
| W3R | with no bandwidth limit | 22:55 |
| ubuntu-noob-101- | SO? | 22:55 |
| W3R | equal down and upload speed. | 22:55 |
| alpre | duhnnie: just try what I wrote then | 22:55 |
| Kentos | yeah, i was looking at the DSL companies, but...its the exact same speeds as their residential connections | 22:56 |

| ubuntu-noob-101- | anyone? | 22:59 |

| ubuntu-noob-101- | THIS IS SUCK.. | 23:03 |
| duhnnie | alpre: also shows 2 dirs: 32bit and 64bit | 23:03 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu-noob-101-: yes you do indeed. | 23:03 |
| alpre | duhnnie: VBoxLinuxAdditions.run it is. I did sudo sh 'VBoxLinuxAdditions.run'. Here it was mentioned that instead you should use sudo -i or sudo -s, but I don't know how that works | 23:03 |
| ubuntu-noob-101- | dr_willis: ya right.. you do as well | 23:04 |
| duhnnie | alpre: ok, i'll try | 23:04 |
| ubuntu-noob-101- | username states that i am a noob so? | 23:04 |
| ubuntu-noob-101- | =[ | 23:05 |
| ubuntu-noob-101- | =) | 23:05 |
| ubuntu-noob-101- | =P | 23:05 |
| ikonia | stop that | 23:05 |
| ubuntu-noob-101- | ikonia: ok | 23:05 |
| ikonia | thank you | 23:05 |
| dr_willis | being annoying in the channel tends to get you ignored. restate the support question in a clear concise way. | 23:05 |
| delinquentme | How do I search recursively through my file system to file a file called "mysqld.sock" | 23:05 |
| delinquentme | ? | 23:05 |
| ikonia | delinquentme: it's in /tmp | 23:05 |
| ikonia | however find / -name mysqld.sock -print would work | 23:06 |
| ubuntu-noob-101- | dr_willis: its been almost.. but nothing seems to float | 23:06 |
| dr_willis | delinquentme: the locate command, is very handy for finding files. but a .sock file is a socket file. whya re you needing it? | 23:06 |
| delinquentme | ikonia, no such luck | 23:06 |
| dr_willis | so much for clear and concise. | 23:06 |
| ikonia | I'm guessing an application is complainin it can't connect to mysql | 23:06 |
| ikonia | the socket file is missing because mysql isn't running | 23:06 |
| zeeeero | attemp proceed like this Terminal/gksudo nautilus/navigated to /media/trunk (folder containing storage partition from windows set up as nas with trunk as network storage)/right clicked (gksudoed) naut window of "trunk"/ attemped to change permission of "trunk"/ owner permission successful but group and other revert back to no access. | 23:06 |
| ikonia | (normally) | 23:06 |
| ubuntu-noob-101- | does anyone here from ubuntu support.. PLEASE update sources path.. | 23:06 |
| funky1 | delinquentme: go to / and run "sudo find . | egrep mysqld.sock" | 23:07 |
| delinquentme | ikonia, so " sudo start mysql " returns mysql start/running, process 9839 | 23:07 |
| alch | i think my live usb tha i need for some lab work has been corrupted after forced shutdown, anything i can do to save it? | 23:07 |
| ikonia | delinquentme: can you connect with mysql client ? | 23:07 |
| delinquentme | nope | 23:07 |
| wilee-nilee | alch, this usb have a persistance? | 23:07 |
| ikonia | delinquentme: what's the error ? | 23:07 |
| dr_willis | alch: you could try to fsck its casper-rw file.. be best to copy that file somewhere else, then try fscking it. then mounting it. | 23:07 |
| alch | yep | 23:07 |
| Marvin827 | I think you ought to know, frigg, that I'm feeling very depressed. | 23:08 |

| Marvin827 | I think you ought to know, duhnnie, that I'm feeling very depressed. | 23:08 |
| delinquentme | what the shit. | 23:08 |
| Marvin827 | I think you ought to know, delinquentme, that I'm feeling very depressed. | 23:08 |
| delinquentme | now it connects | 23:08 |
| Marvin827 | I think you ought to know, delinquentme, that I'm feeling very depressed. | 23:08 |

| Marvin827 | I think you ought to know, ikonia, that I'm feeling very depressed. | 23:08 |
| ubuntu-noob-101- | Marvin827: no worries.. its me who is depressed not u | 23:08 |
| FloodBot1 | Marvin827: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:08 |

| ubuntu-noob-101- | Marvin827: no worries.. its me who is depressed not u | 23:08 |
| delinquentme | OK. sooo I dont even know what I did. | 23:09 |
| ikonia | delinquentme: probably started mysql | 23:09 |
| zeeeero | attemp proceed like this Terminal/gksudo nautilus/navigated to /media/trunk (folder containing storage partition from windows set up as nas with trunk as network storage)/right clicked (gksudoed) naut window of "trunk"/ attemped to change permission of "trunk"/ owner permission successful but group and other revert back to no access. | 23:09 |
| delinquentme | idk | 23:09 |
| duhnnie | alpre: maybe thats the original problem: i don't have enough space on my virtual disk | 23:09 |
| delinquentme | this is the worst kind of solution lol | 23:09 |
| delinquentme | because I learned nada | 23:09 |
| delinquentme | ikonia, how do you personally check the status of mysql being on or off? | 23:09 |
| alpre | duhnnie: maybe, the xcursor was not normal either | 23:09 |
| ikonia | delinquentme: ps -ef | grep mysqld | 23:09 |
| dr_willis | delinquentme: the service command is handy for that | 23:09 |
| wilee-nilee | alch, I would answer the error question, and realise that a persistent file fills up and is difficult to clean, and will stop it from running when filled up. | 23:10 |
| delinquentme | sudo netstat -tap | grep mysql ... ps aux | grep mysql ... service mysql status | 23:10 |
| duhnnie | alpre: i remember, this morning ubuntu notified me about it | 23:10 |
| delinquentme | I've aquired a few today | 23:10 |
| ikonia | delinquentme: the service command as dr_willis said is valid, but it reads a pid file which doesn't always confirm mysqld is running | 23:10 |
| alpre | duhnnie: when you install ubuntu, don't install the guest addiditions from the menu, you usually don't need it and ubuntu has them built in, just a bit older | 23:10 |
| alch | well i dint changed anything in the last boot | 23:10 |
| duhnnie | alpre: ok, thanks | 23:11 |
| wilee-nilee | !who > alch | 23:11 |
| ubottu | alch, please see my private message | 23:11 |
| alpre | duhnnie: they are in ubuntu menu, system settings third party drivers or something, no need for the iso. np | 23:11 |
| duhnnie | alpre: well i'll try to resolve this by myself, i think that the problem is about disk space | 23:11 |
| alch | ubottu: ic sorrry | 23:11 |
| alpre | duhnnie: yes, could work | 23:11 |

| CiscoNinja | hello folks | 23:14 |
| delinquentme | sudo find . | egrep mysqld.sock << this finds no files .. however mysql is running | 23:14 |
| delinquentme | Le GRRRR | 23:14 |
| zeeeero | attemp proceed like this Terminal/gksudo nautilus/navigated to /media/trunk (folder containing storage partition from windows set up as nas with trunk as network storage)/right clicked (gksudoed) naut window of "trunk"/ attemped to change permission of "trunk"/ owner permission successful but group and other revert back to no access. | 23:14 |
| ikonia | delinquentme: look in my.cnf to see where your socket file hsould be | 23:15 |
| ikonia | delinquentme: /tmp /var/lib/mysql for example | 23:15 |
| ubuntu-noob-101- | If you want to get things done, do it your self.. thanks anyway | 23:17 |
| CiscoNinja | the wife likes to watch soap opera like from youtube and other websites. she is bugging me to stream it to our bedroom TV. my options are ROCKU box and xbox360 . any luck for me or should i stop being lazy and hook up vga to the tv each time she want to watch 'em? | 23:18 |
| Kentos | do you not have multiple connections for your streaming device? | 23:19 |
| Kentos | like multiple monitor type of deal | 23:20 |
| zeeeero | attemp proceed like this Terminal/gksudo nautilus/navigated to /media/trunk (folder containing storage partition from windows set up as nas with trunk as network storage)/right clicked (gksudoed) naut window of "trunk"/ attemped to change permission of "trunk"/ owner permission successful but group and other revert back to no access. | 23:20 |
| delinquentme | /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock ikonia | 23:20 |
| delinquentme | OHHH | 23:20 |
| CiscoNinja | Kentos, am not sure i understand | 23:20 |
| delinquentme | grep didn't have search access to that dir | 23:20 |
| Kentos | where are you streaming from currently? | 23:21 |
| Kentos | what do you connect with the VGA to the TV | 23:21 |
| CiscoNinja | Kentos, i don't want to connect physically to the tv | 23:21 |
| === bill is now known as Guest74212 | ||
| pragmaticenigma | Anybody have a good resource for configuring a Nvidia GeForce 6200 card? When ever I am in X, the system hangs and the screen often draws a corrupted image | 23:22 |
| Kentos | ok, you have a wireless connection from your tv or something? there will have to be some physical connection to it for something, unless its a smart TV with youtube apps and webbrowseing | 23:22 |
| CiscoNinja | Kentos, xbox360 -> tv "netflix" or Rocku ->tv "netflix+ other channels" | 23:23 |
| zeeeero | for free or with a budget because I have seen a bunch of ways to handle your situation | 23:23 |
| RPG-Master | Is their a way to install Ubuntu to an extra internal hard drive *from* a currently running Ubuntu on another hard drive in the computer? | 23:23 |
| CiscoNinja | Kentos, no smart tv | 23:23 |
| RPG-Master | *in the same computer | 23:23 |
| zeeeero | for about 150$ you could build an itx to fi5t on the back of your tv(s) | 23:24 |
| Kentos | yeah, I'm not quite sure what your after then, zeeero seems to be more knowledgeable | 23:24 |
| pragmaticenigma | RPG-Master: You could use something like CloneZilla to image the main drive to the second drive. You would have an exact copy for each harddrive | 23:24 |
| CiscoNinja | what is itx zeeeero ? | 23:25 |
| RPG-Master | pragmaticenigma: Is that ok if the "from" hard drive has bad sectors, which is why I'm doing this? | 23:25 |
| * CiscoNinja google to the rescue | 23:25 | |
| zeeeero | also for $40-$70 you can buy one of many streaming box tops that support a wide variety of streamcast including your pc | 23:25 |
| pragmaticenigma | RPG-Master: It is possible that the corrupted sectors may cause difficulty, however, there is no harm in trying | 23:26 |
| CiscoNinja | zeeeero, ahhhh itx mobo | 23:26 |
| zeeeero | VERY low power mobo thats around 8"x8" | 23:26 |
| RPG-Master | pragmaticenigma: If I have so, I will, but if I can just install Ubuntu to the second hard drive with this current Ubuntu, I'd prefer it. | 23:27 |
| CiscoNinja | zeeeero, but then i will need a hdd and other stuff right | 23:27 |
| Kentos | would that allow him to then stream data wirelessly to his TV? | 23:27 |
| pragmaticenigma | RPG-Master: There is no way to "install" using one harddisk to another | 23:27 |
| delinquentme | http://pastie.org/4698752 ikonia does this mean mysql is running or not? | 23:28 |
| zeeeero | something that only did streaming could run from a 4gb usb | 23:28 |
| CiscoNinja | zeeeero do you mind to take this to pm....i don't want to piss ops since this is heading away from ubuntu | 23:28 |
| RPG-Master | pragmaticenigma: Eh, ok. I admit defeat. :/ | 23:28 |
| _Marcus | What is the package name for CGI-bin? | 23:28 |
| RPG-Master | pragmaticenigma: Thanks for the help. | 23:29 |
| pragmaticenigma | _Marcus: There is no package CGI-BIN... that is just a folder used by apache to host server executed scripts | 23:29 |
| _Marcus | pragmaticenigma: So it's part of Apache? | 23:29 |
| zeeeero | yeah sure. dont know why it matter though I have been asking for a seemingly simple permissions queastion for about 45 mins now and no one here knows dick. | 23:29 |
| pragmaticenigma | _Marcus: It's a directory configured by Apache to store executable scripts | 23:29 |
| CiscoNinja | zeeeero, they make 32gb usb now! that is not the issue but you will still need keyboard and mouse | 23:30 |
| _Marcus | zeeeero: If it's simple, why can't you answer it yourself? No need to be rude to people. | 23:30 |
| zeeeero | synergy or vnc | 23:30 |
| zeeeero | ... | 23:30 |
| dr_willis | synergy and vnc have differnet tasks | 23:30 |
| CiscoNinja | dr_willis, i like nxclient | 23:31 |
| === jesseC is now known as Guest17425 | ||
| CiscoNinja | zeeeero, how can i stream youtube to my tv using uvuntu and xbox360 or rocku / | 23:32 |
| zeeeero | it seems simple but I dont know enough console jargon to google it properly cuz I have tried. all I wanted someone to do is give me a few good search terms to point me in the right direction. I intended to DO it my self. I wanted someone else to show me what I was doing wrong so I COULD do it me self cuz Im at a wall right now | 23:32 |
| dr_willis | zeeeero: for what? | 23:33 |
| zeeeero | attemp proceed like this Terminal/gksudo nautilus/navigated to /media/trunk (folder containing storage partition from windows set up as nas with trunk as network storage)/right clicked (gksudoed) naut window of "trunk"/ attemped to change permission of "trunk"/ owner permission successful but group and other revert back to no access. | 23:33 |
| _Marcus | zeeeero: What exactly is the problem that you are having? | 23:33 |
| dr_willis | you do NOT chown/chmod a ntfs/vfat.. you set its permissions/owner at Mount time | 23:34 |
| zeeeero | I cant changed the permission to a folder of files I own | 23:34 |
| dr_willis | zeeeero: is it on a ntfs/vfat/network share? | 23:34 |
| _Marcus | zeeeero: Try changing it as root? | 23:34 |
| zeeeero | ntfs on the same drive as the ubuntu server install | 23:35 |
| dr_willis | you do NOT chown/chmod a ntfs/vfat.. you set its permissions/owner at Mount time | 23:35 |
| zeeeero | seperate partitions | 23:35 |
| dr_willis | !ntfs-3g | 23:35 |
| ubottu | ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 23:35 |
| zeeeero | so I am to change the mount. think you could kindly throw a few search terms for or you think "drive mount options" would be enough | 23:36 |
| Russianeer | hi | 23:37 |
| zeeeero | drive mount options 12.04 | 23:37 |
| CiscoNinja | with all do respect to everyone , in the past dr_willis have helped me a lot ...this dude knows his sh*t. i would listen to him @ zeeeero | 23:37 |
| === Axlin_ is now known as Axlin | ||
| zeeeero | I am listening he is helping. | 23:38 |
| snwh | Anyone running Ubuntu on an SSD? | 23:39 |
| zeeeero | or was but telling me there is a different ownership process was a lot of help. Fo reals. thanks. | 23:40 |
| dr_willis | !ntfs-3g | 23:42 |
| dr_willis | is what hanelds the mounting of ntfs... .... | 23:42 |
| joofsh | why doesn't % tar zxvf jre-7u7linux-i586.tar.gz work? I get a bash: fg: %: no such job error | 23:43 |
| Noobuntu | hello | 23:44 |
| Kentos | I wasn't aware you could mount ntfs partitions to ubuntu | 23:44 |
| dr_willis | Kentos: have been able to for years.. and years | 23:44 |
| Noobuntu | my synaptiks touchpad driver crashes on every reebot | 23:44 |
| Noobuntu | any idea guys? | 23:44 |
| dr_willis | for a long time it was read only... but now a days.. ntfs-3g works well | 23:45 |
| Kentos | ahhh | 23:45 |
| dr_willis | joofsh: you are entering a % ? thats not part of the command... | 23:45 |
| Kentos | that work well when networking with windows clients? | 23:45 |
| dr_willis | Kentos: thats samba.. has nothing really to do with ntfs. | 23:45 |
| zeeeero | thank you found it. and sry for talking smak. I just assumed I gave plenty enough info for a response. sadly I didnt get any until I started talking shit. I hate talking shit but posting my problem every 3 full scroll pages on a 1080 seemed like it was enough to let those busy stay busy and let anyone who thought they might could help could let me know. and if you did tell me that earlier I didnt know what it ment without my name or conte | 23:45 |
| joofsh | dr_willis: arg. Yep that's it. Thank you. Was just trying to follow the java install guide. Says to start with a %. silly me | 23:46 |
| dr_willis | samba dosent care what FS you are shareiong.. as long as the permissions are correct | 23:46 |
| dr_willis | joofsh: % = part of the prompt. | 23:46 |
| Kentos | i see | 23:46 |
| joofsh | okay, good to know for future reference | 23:46 |
| dr_willis | zeeeero: i still dont know what youa re rambling on about.... | 23:46 |
| Kentos | i recently set up an odd raid style for my server, had not found documents on it before | 23:47 |
| dr_willis | !iso | 23:48 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 23:48 |
| m3pow | a good IDE for Ubuntu ? | 23:48 |
| Noobuntu | anyone had any issues with synaptiks touchad driver crashing? I use an HP dv6t laptop | 23:48 |
| Kentos | I set up a mirror hardware raid on 6 drives, 2 per mirror, using one as the install mirror, and then setup a softRAID in raid 0 for the two remaining mirrors | 23:48 |
| Kentos | has anyone done this before? | 23:49 |
| giorgia1503 | ciao | 23:49 |
| giorgia1503 | !list | 23:49 |

| pikeaero | Code::Blocks IDE | 23:49 |
| m3pow | i have noticed eclipse there aswell | 23:50 |
| m3pow | i want one that does a good job with ruby,php, html etc | 23:51 |
| CiscoNinja | is there is a way i can stream my screen to TV via xbox360 and ubuntu | 23:51 |
| Kentos | not sure how Xbox connects to a network, out of my area of knowledge | 23:52 |
| CiscoNinja | Kennocha, wire(less) | 23:53 |
| CiscoNinja | Kentos, ^^ | 23:53 |
| Kentos | I'm not really familiar with streaming data either, much less so in using an Xbox even for games. Let me know if you find your anwser though I wouldnt mind learning how that is done | 23:54 |
| dr_willis | CiscoNinja: dlna/upnp servers can stream to a xbox360 | 23:55 |
| dr_willis | and i think vlc can do that. | 23:55 |
| Kentos | id really think the Xbox would have to DL something to accept a stream, however If it already has soemthing, you might want to look into its streaming app/software | 23:55 |
| CiscoNinja | dr_willis, i would like to stream youtube and other sites | 23:56 |
| CiscoNinja | dr_willis, by dlna you mean ushare | 23:56 |
| pragmaticenigma | Anybody have a good resource for configuring a Nvidia GeForce 6200 card? When ever I am in X, the system hangs and the screen often draws a corrupted image | 23:59 |
