| black_13 | blah | 00:05 |
| black_13 | ok | 00:05 |
| icarious | can anyone tell me, which ubuntu repo contains the broadcom 4313 drivers? | 00:06 |
| black_13 | is there a way to remaster the unbutu install cd to boot off a hard drive | 00:07 |
| snwh | icarious, the restricted repe "bcmwl-kernel-source" package | 00:07 |
| pragmaticenigma | icarious: You need to install the firmware-b43-installer which should enable the ability to install the drivers | 00:08 |
| icarious | snwh: isnt it the package "firmware-b43-installer" which contains the driver? | 00:08 |
| icarious | pragmaticenigma: thanks mate | 00:08 |
| icarious | i was confused which package contains the drivers .. | 00:08 |
| pragmaticenigma | the installer doesn't contain the driver, just the definition for the hardware detection to be able to identify and retrieve the correct drivers | 00:09 |
| pragmaticenigma | icarious: after you install that package, you will see the device appear in the additional drivers utiility | 00:09 |
| icarious | pragmaticenigma: so installing the package "firmware-b43-installer" will fetch the drivers for Broadcom 4313 | 00:09 |
| snwh | icarious, I have the broadcom 4313 and all I install bcmwl-kernel-source | 00:09 |
| icarious | pragmaticenigma: thanks | 00:09 |
| snwh | icarious the b43-installer will just fetch them from the internet. | 00:10 |
| icarious | ok | 00:10 |
| pragmaticenigma | like everything snwh , there is more than one way to do things... just trying to use the easiest way that I know | 00:10 |
| snwh | pragmaticenigma, indeed there is, I just let the additional drivers dialog do its thing. | 00:11 |
| visioneer | can anyone help with trying to mkfs.ext4 for /dev/mapper/vg-root for encrypted drive? | 00:11 |
| ikonia | visioneer: just explain the problem | 00:11 |
| visioneer | keep getting ext2fs_check_mount: Input/outputerror while determining whether mounted | 00:12 |
| ikonia | visioneer: is it mounted ? | 00:12 |
| visioneer | i tohught when i luksopen it mounted it | 00:13 |
| xiamx | where's "Tickless System (Dynmaic ticks)" in menuconfig? I've been looking for 15mins... | 00:13 |
| ikonia | so it has to be unmounted to put a file system on it | 00:13 |
| visioneer | ok ty | 00:13 |
| trism | xiamx: type / then NO_HZ and hit enter | 00:15 |
| aliciapg | so my sound stopped working after i changed a setting and then changed it back, does anyone have an idea of what i can do to fix it? | 00:17 |
| smerz | try the various sound output's | 00:19 |
| daemongpl | aliciapg: specify what setting was changed | 00:19 |
| smerz | if you have multiple you can select a specific one (like line out & headphone out for example) | 00:19 |
| xiamx | trism: thanks | 00:19 |
| aliciapg | smerz: i've tried all combinations that i thought might work | 00:19 |

| lewis | ubuntu vs lint | 00:22 |
| visioneer | ikonia /dev/mapper/vg-root isnt mounted... same issue | 00:22 |
| aliciapg | smerz: thanks for the suggestions, i just managed to fix it | 00:24 |
| kgee | can I install paid apps on multiple computers? Do I need always-on network connectivity? | 00:24 |
| ikonia | visioneer: is this your root file system logical volume ? | 00:24 |
| aliciapg | the output volume at the top was stuck at 0% even when i had the volume increased on the top panel | 00:25 |
| visioneer | ikonia vg-root is the fs for the external | 00:25 |
| ikonia | external ? | 00:25 |
| ikonia | visioneer: why don't you explain what you are actually doing | 00:25 |

| visioneer | ikonia full disk encryption | 00:27 |
| ikonia | visioneer: yes, FDE was explained, but whats an "external2 | 00:27 |
| ikonia | damn "external" | 00:27 |
| visioneer | i have an external drive i am trying to creat a bootable fde on | 00:28 |
| daemongpl | ahahaha that 2 | 00:28 |
| ikonia | and you're using lvm for that..... | 00:28 |
| ikonia | lvm on external disks, doesn't sound wise | 00:29 |
| daemongpl | bootable encryption installer or bootable OS that is encrypted | 00:29 |
| === Dad_ is now known as Guest97631 | ||
| visioneer | ikonia i used cryptsetup. is that lvm? | 00:29 |

| Fail_fetch | hello everyone: i installed Jaunty Jackalope and wanted to upgrade my OS from there but my repositories are old and i get Fail Fetch errors. help! | 00:32 |

| wasanzy | hi | 00:34 |
| wasanzy | please am trying to create a startup disk using the startup disk creator on ubuntu 12.04 but it is not working | 00:35 |
| daemongpl | visioneer: I don't have experience with cryptsetup but from google it looks like it only encrypts the drive with no option to make it bootable. So to use that external drive you need an OS that has cryptsetup installed to be prompted for password to open the drive. | 00:35 |
| wasanzy | the iso if centos iso | 00:35 |
| daemongpl | visioneer: what OS is on the external HD? | 00:36 |
| snwh | wasanzy, I do believe the startup disk creator doesn't do isos outside of ubuntu | 00:36 |
| visioneer | daemongpl ive created a boot partition for that | 00:36 |
| wasanzy | so what can I use instead? because I need to create a startup disk using my pendrive | 00:37 |
| daemongpl | visioneer, boot partition has to boot some sort of OS with cryptsetup installed to access the drive | 00:37 |
| visioneer | specifically, im following this tut http://www.edwiget.name/2011/11/administration-backtrack-5r1-full-disk-encryption-install-to-hard-drive/ | 00:37 |
| snwh | wasanzy, you can try unetbootin or the command "sudo dd if=[location of your iso] of=[location of your pendrive, /dev/sdX]" | 00:37 |
| daemongpl | you need something that will encrypt the drive and add its own preboot screen without software required | 00:37 |
| Guest4770 | how do i hide the bottom panel in gnome classic? i googled it but havent sound a solution | 00:38 |
| wasanzy | sunh: thank you I will try that | 00:38 |
| snwh | wasanzy, for example: sudo dd if=some-centOS.iso of=/dev/sdc | 00:38 |
| visioneer | daemongpl im not concerned about that because ive done this for a live persistent FDE usb... now cant do it on stupid HDD | 00:38 |
| daemongpl | visioneer, so if its been done... let me ask have you tried to boot up the external OS and encrypt while its running? | 00:39 |
| johnnyfive | I have a question.. If I install some software in /opt/ that is started via shell script (./script), and I create a symbolic link for that script in /usr/bin/start_my_software, running start_my_software *should* open it, right? Or is there something tricky with symoblic links and shell scripts? | 00:39 |
| Guest4770 | how do i hide the bottom panel in gnome classic? i googled it but havent sound a solution | 00:40 |
| visioneer | daemongpl i have to mkfs before i can install the OS | 00:41 |
| visioneer | deamongpl correct? | 00:42 |
| daemongpl | visioneer: so no OS is currently loaded on the external? | 00:42 |
| Cyclohexane | does anyone know the apt repo link for linux_source? | 00:42 |
| visioneer | daemongpl nope. trying to get to that point but no fs yet | 00:42 |
| switchblade | so yeah, i can't play a dvd or a blu-ray | 00:43 |
| daemongpl | linux going on external? | 00:43 |
| switchblade | nah, internal | 00:43 |
| ring2 | switchblade, have you installed libdvdcss2? | 00:44 |
| daemongpl | visioneer: Use the tool --- sudo apt-get install unetbootin | 00:45 |
| visioneer | daemongpl that doesnt create FDE. does it? | 00:45 |
| daemongpl | visioneer: makes it EZ unless you are trying to learn the commands to do it in terminal | 00:45 |
| switchblade | i think so. how can i know for sure? | 00:45 |
| ubuntu8 | what's your opinion on OpenSuse and Fedora? :P | 00:46 |
| daemongpl | visioneer: installs OS to external and makes it bootable... you boot into it then encrypt | 00:46 |
| visioneer | daemongpl i am doing it in terminal via fdisk and cryptsetup | 00:46 |
| ring2 | switchblade, i'm sorry, it's called libdvdread4 | 00:46 |
| daemongpl | visioneer: you cannot install OS and encrypt at same time... one then the other | 00:46 |
| bazhang | ubuntu8 offtopic here | 00:46 |
| ring2 | switchblade, in a terminal: apt-cache policy libdvdread4 | 00:46 |
| ubuntu8 | sorry !! | 00:47 |
| ClientAlive | is there any way to specify a pause before mounting in fstab. I'm not sure this would fix the problem but it's the best guess I have. I have a couple logical volumes I mount through fstab but recently one of them has been throwind an error at boot time and I have to "press s to skip" | 00:47 |
| wilee-nilee | ClientAlive, the UUID correct for it? | 00:48 |
| switchblade | RING2 - ok, i got that, and it's still not working.. do i need to reboot? | 00:49 |

| switchblade | ring2, yes | 00:50 |
| Jordan_U | ClientAlive: Can you post the fstab line in question? Most likely you can work around the problem by turning off automatic fsck (making the last column '0'). | 00:50 |

| icarious | whenever i am trying to install firmware-b43-installer to enable my broadcom 4313 wireless i am getting a " unsupported device found: PCI id 14e4:4727" during installation | 00:59 |

| Leidenfrost | Nevermind. I had to run ./configure with "--prefix=/usr/". | 00:59 |
| ikonia | the device is not supported by that driver | 00:59 |
| icarious | ikonia: then which driver should i install | 00:59 |
| ring2 | switchblade, if you encouter non-working bluerays, you probably have to fiddle some more. here is a good start: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD | 00:59 |
| ikonia | icarious: the one which supports your device | 00:59 |
| icarious | ikonia: and ofcource which one is that? sorry i am asking cause i have no clue. i just want to activate my wireless | 01:00 |
| ikonia | icarious: so your job is to research it's linux support, and which drivers supports it | 01:00 |
| dr_willis | we cant tell you.... :) start with lspci perhaps? | 01:00 |
| OerHeks | icarious, according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx you need the STA driver | 01:01 |

| true_techie | i just resized a partition with ubuntu on it to create 16GB worth of free space for windows. after i installed windows the partition with ubuntu on it vanished. what happened? | 01:09 |
| Cyclohexane | if i do make && make install > install.log will that only store make isntall output or both? | 01:09 |
| ikonia | well, Cinnamon isn't an official package, so yes you can install it but you won't get much support | 01:10 |
| ikonia | Cyclohexane: don't do that | 01:10 |
| Donato11 | Well I have Gnome 3 installed right now, and i don want to lose it by installing CInnamon | 01:10 |

| true_techie | dr_willis, i had ubuntu booting from a jump drive | 01:11 |
| Cyclohexane | ikonia: you advise against it without reasoning.. ? | 01:11 |
| Donato11 | What is bad about Cinnamon? | 01:12 |
| ikonia | I can't be bothered | 01:12 |
| dr_willis | Donato11: its not officaially supported here. it could vanish/developers stop at any time.. | 01:12 |
| ikonia | Donato11: it's personal preference, some people like it, some don't | 01:12 |
| dr_willis | and gnome2 is basically dead.. and was really lacking in a great many ways.. time to move on to gnome3 | 01:12 |
| Donato11 | Oh i understand. As far as I know its like a theme like for windows. But I am very very new to Ubuntu and such. | 01:13 |

| GraemeLion | SnapSnap: Yep. They still see your IP in the swarm. | 01:37 |
| WeThePeople | but its sock5 | 01:37 |
| GraemeLion | All peerguardian and peerblock do is consult a whitelist of people you won't share with. | 01:37 |
| GraemeLion | Err. blacklist. | 01:37 |
| GraemeLion | SnapSnap: So theoretically, you won't be sharing to the blocked IPs, and thus if you're involved in illicit downloads MIGHT not be prosecutable. | 01:40 |
| GraemeLion | SnapSnap: But it doesn't, and cannot hide your IP from the swarm. | 01:40 |

| SnapSnap | Nisstyre, Transmission | 01:46 |
| Nisstyre | SnapSnap: I recommend rtorrent because it's more configurable than transmission. Transmission is "Easier" to use because it's a GUI client, but rtorrent will server you better in the long run. | 01:46 |
| WeThePeople | snapsnap, use ip addreses | 01:46 |
| Nisstyre | s/server/serve/ | 01:46 |
| WeThePeople | snapsnap, start Tor and put the ip address in Transmission or rTorrent | 01:47 |
| Nisstyre | SnapSnap: all you want to do, essentially is route all tracker connections (if using a tracker, this doesn't apply to magnet links) through a proxy system such as tor, a vpn, or any other proxy type deal | 01:47 |
| Nisstyre | I believe Transmission will let you do this | 01:48 |
| === oem is now known as helecho_ | ||
| Nisstyre | SnapSnap: you can run the entire thing through a vpn if you have one | 01:48 |
| Nisstyre | that includes the actual downloading | 01:49 |
| WeThePeople | or maybe its loca idk | 01:49 |
| Nisstyre | since a vpn is just a new network interface | 01:49 |
| WeThePeople | local | 01:49 |
| ezio | how do i enable untrusted packages? | 01:49 |
| Nisstyre | SnapSnap: keep in mind this doesn't stop people from seeing the VPN doing things, so pick a VPN provider you trust | 01:49 |
| SnapSnap | Nisstyre, honestly I'm not as educated as I could be concerning Tor and VPNs so setting all of this up is kind of beyond me | 01:50 |
| Nisstyre | SnapSnap: setting up OpenVPN is quite easy, see this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OpenVPN | 01:51 |
| Nisstyre | SnapSnap: ignore all the stuff about servers | 01:51 |
| Nisstyre | you just want the client | 01:51 |
| Nisstyre | SnapSnap: there's probably a guide to just doing the client configuration somewhere... | 01:52 |
| jrib | zykotick9: well later versions of upstart have override files you can use | 01:56 |

| Donato11 | Hello, one more quick question. Do you guys know how long you can run a machine with Ubuntu with out restarting/shuting down compared to a machine with windows 7 | 02:02 |
| cfhowlett | Donato11: I've seen 10 year uptimes ... | 02:02 |
| GraemeLion | Donato11: As long as the kernel doesn't update. | 02:02 |
| Donato11 | Oh wow, very long time. Thank you. | 02:02 |
| daemongpl | wingy: everything is customizable, its just how bad you want it. | 02:02 |
| GraemeLion | Donato11: But uptime comparisons are BS. You should be rebooting on security upgrades for the kernel | 02:03 |
| wingy | would want something as simple as installing a theme | 02:03 |
| Donato11 | Well yea i normally always reboot after updates (if required). | 02:03 |
| wingy | don't have that much time to learn how to configure everything | 02:03 |

| jagginess | kalio, why not just disable it? | 02:26 |
| kalio | jagginess: it's a temporary monitor interface from wireshark, said it couldn't remove and to do so manually | 02:27 |

| jagginess | kalio, ? | 02:28 |

| squidnip_ | so, I have a permissions/groups question | 02:33 |
| daemongpl | dietrichman: whats your command to open the network share? | 02:33 |
| squidnip_ | I want to allow only certain users access to a folder, so I created a group titled folderaccess, and added those users to the group | 02:34 |
| dietrichman | i have been accessing network shares via my home folder and then mounting it manually, the share set up isnt the problem, its setting up the automount in the terminal..... | 02:34 |
| squidnip_ | then I changed the group of the folder to folderaccess | 02:34 |
| squidnip_ | but users in that group still get permission denied. chmod on it is rwxrwx--- | 02:35 |
| jagginess | squidnip_, well if you changed anything with "group" memberships, be sure to logout then relogin | 02:36 |
| squidnip_ | accessing it from ssh, can i just jump out of the session and back in? | 02:36 |
| jagginess | squidnip_, ask a better question.. you obviously know that is a logoff | 02:37 |
| squidnip_ | I'm new to this, but I tried it and it worked | 02:37 |
| jagginess | ok good, so it works. | 02:38 |
| squidnip_ | awesome, thanks | 02:38 |
| squidnip_ | more advanced question now: I'm doing this to ultimately mount an NFS share I'm setting up from my laptop | 02:40 |
| squidnip_ | from my reading I have to sync the uids on them | 02:40 |
| squidnip_ | did that, still getting permission denied errors even though the uids and usernames match | 02:40 |
| squidnip_ | do i have to also create a matching group or something on my laptop (osx)? | 02:41 |

The apt-get is failing with a 404 which, after reading, is due to the release no longer being supported. As I'm only trying to install a package to get of this old release, is there a workaround to enable the installation of vsftpd? Thanks! | 02:43 |
| ikonia | Kentos: tcp wrappers or iptables, or sshd hosts | 02:43 |
| Nisstyre | Kentos: is this for ssh? | 02:43 |
| cfhowlett | unless: but ikonia is spot on. USC packages are managed by USC ... | 02:43 |
| Nisstyre | Kentos: you can specify that in openssh.conf or w/e | 02:43 |
| Nisstyre | I think... | 02:43 |
| Kentos | yes for ssh | 02:43 |
| ikonia | jron: point at old-releases.ubuntu.com | 02:43 |
| Nisstyre | don't use tcpwrappers | 02:43 |
| Nisstyre | that is oooold | 02:43 |
| jron | ikonia not us.old-releases.ubuntu.com, correct? | 02:43 |
| ikonia | jron: no, old-releases.ubuntu.com | 02:44 |
| jron | ikonia, thank you. i'll give that a try now. | 02:44 |
| Nisstyre | Kentos: the best solution is to use ssh key authentication only | 02:45 |
| Nisstyre | Kentos: then only people with the correct private key can connect | 02:45 |
| ikonia | that won't limit it to one host | 02:45 |
| Nisstyre | no, it won't | 02:45 |
| ikonia | that will limit it to one key | 02:45 |
| ikonia | his request was to limit it to one host | 02:46 |
| Nisstyre | but it's a better solution imo | 02:46 |
| ikonia | not one user | 02:46 |
| ikonia | Nisstyre: no, it's not, if he wants to limit it to one host, then your solution is not what he asked for | 02:46 |

| ikonia | Kentos: there is nothing wrong with keys, it's a great tool, but it will not limit access from one host as you initially requested | 02:47 |

| SillyTalker | please | 03:17 |
| OerHeks | !nounity | 03:17 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 03:17 |
| SillyTalker | Hotel_Guest: startlxde works fine but i still need to kill the unity crap now | 03:17 |

| Hotel_Guest | gnome is bad @ss | 03:20 |
| OerHeks | SillyTalker, LXDE standard does not come with unity. | 03:20 |
| shadedpixel | I like gnome, it just uses to much memory | 03:20 |
| SillyTalker | OerHeks: i know, so i wanna get rid of unity, and use LXDE | 03:21 |
| OerHeks | SillyTalker, install lubuntu-desktop, logout, change GDM to LXDE and login again | 03:21 |
| shadedpixel | SillyTalker, what OerHeks said :D | 03:22 |
| SillyTalker | OerHeks: for some sick reason i cannot pick my session when i login, and autologin is disabled | 03:22 |
| SillyTalker | i'm using a prebuilt chroot | 03:22 |
| SillyTalker | it logs in automatically | 03:22 |
| SillyTalker | is there no config file or anything i can use for this? | 03:23 |
| gswain | Is anyone running the ARM port? is it stable? | 03:23 |

| ClientAlive | there's something funny going on with my sticky bt. There's 3 directories. All 3 have identical perms but one has a capital T and the other have a lower t (all are drwxrwx--) then then thing with the sticky bit as I described. What on earth is going on with this? | 03:27 |
| cadeonehalf | well, ubuntustudio is slow right now, so I'll try my luck here | 03:28 |

I've added the model code to the alsa-base.conf file, installed (and later un-installed) pulseaudio, and any other trick I could find in the guides from 2008-ish. | 03:29 |
| ClientAlive | I figured it out lol :o | 03:30 |

| ClientAlive | aeon-ltd: If by outside you mean ssh or something, then no. I'm physically on this coputer. I fig that one out too though (about why I had to use sudo). Seems to me there is something funny going on with using my system though. I'd swear that after using chown and chmod to set a directory to my user then reboot it sets it back to root and whatever perms they were before. | 03:35 |
| luoluoluo | hi there, I'm using 12.04, and upgrading to 3.2.0-30-generic. But the upgrade program keeps running for over 1.5 hours and not finish yet. I discover that a program called depmod is running and occupied 100% of my cpu all the time. Previous upgrade didn't take such a long time. Any of you experience this? | 03:35 |
| ClientAlive | outside my home directory you meant. Well actually I am atm. Working in /mnt | 03:35 |
| ClientAlive | well, I think I undrstand what you were getting at aeon-ltd and I get what's going on here. thx man | 03:37 |
| ClientAlive | Is there a way to set the system up so every time I create a directory it gives it the perms drwxdrwx--- rather than drwxdrwxr-x ?? | 03:43 |
| ClientAlive | so it gives those perms I want automatically when the directory is created? | 03:43 |

| zeeeero | I thought so. | 03:55 |

| chillpil1_ | from which computer? ssh name@ipaddress | 03:56 |
| Hotel_Guest | zeeeero, type sudo -i in terminal and then use gksudo nautilus and change folder perm. | 03:56 |
| chillpil1_ | so you have desktop access then no need for ssh | 03:57 |
| zeeeero | gksudo directly from server with screen attached loged in through gsm | 03:57 |

| Guest43458 | I've found Ubuntu runs slow on my Dad's computer so I'm looking for less resource hungry options | 04:42 |
| lotuspsychje | Guest43458:yes you can install lubuntu-desktop from within ubuntu, but it will slow down your box | 04:42 |
| lotuspsychje | Guest43458:highly recomended downloading lubuntu and fresh install | 04:42 |
| Guest43458 | ok cool, thanks :) | 04:43 |
| alpre | Guest43458: you'd have to look through and remove gnow packages I'd guess | 04:43 |
| alpre | gnomw | 04:43 |
| nokia | there is xorg.conf for nvidia. Where do i find the Nouveau equivalent to add resolutions | 04:43 |
| Guest43458 | right… probably better to just do fresh install than shotgun surgery of packages ;) | 04:43 |
| wilee-nilee | Guest43458, It depends on your skill level all of those desktops can be removed and be replaced by the other, with pkg install lists, as far as speed I have nevr noticed any didderence. | 04:45 |
| wilee-nilee | s/speed/difference | 04:45 |
| alpre | well unity, gnome does like to use over 700MB it seems, maybe more RAM needed | 04:46 |
| alpre | Guest43458: then just installing lxde and choosing it at login would help still instead of reinstalling | 04:47 |
| WeThePeople | hi | 04:47 |
| Guest43458 | alpre: I'd probably upgrade the ram but the system uses rd-ram and that stuff is rare and expensive now. ( well IIRC it was always expensive, just not as rare ) | 04:49 |
| lotuspsychje | Guest43458:lubuntu on an older system installed on ssd hd will go rocket fast | 04:50 |
| nokia | does anyone here use Nouveau driver with Nvidia card? | 04:50 |

| lotuspsychje | !firewall | kunji | 04:53 |
| ubottu | kunji: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. | 04:53 |
| drupin | just got a new ubuntustudio youtube plays with frames in google chrome | 04:54 |
| kunji | lotuspsychje, hmm, ufw just modifies of it's own volition? Also I'm pretty sure I had turned off ufw, does it restart itself? | 04:54 |
| kunji | Does ufw appear in the process name for ufw? Because a ps ax | grep ufw doesn't return anything | 04:55 |

| kunji | lotuspsychje: I'm not sure what you were trying to get at by throwing some manuals at me.... There is nothing in them about this behavior, it is not reverting on reboot, it is reverting (possibly periodically) while still booted and running. | 05:00 |
| kunji | It seems to revert within 24 hours, but I haven't been testing that very long yet. | 05:01 |
| kunji | *that long yet | 05:01 |
| lotuspsychje | kunji: the url i pasted you shows howto config iptables right | 05:05 |
| lotuspsychje | kunji:if you dont find the right answer please describe your problem in channel once in a while | 05:05 |
| kunji | But I know how to merely configure it, and my question wasn't how to configure it. I did describe the problem... | 05:05 |
| lotuspsychje | kunji:yes and if you pastebin it once in a while other users might wanna help you too | 05:06 |
| kunji | The problem is quite straightforward, I know I didn't attach reams of data, but reams of data isn't necessary here. | 05:06 |
| joejack | what is the command to see what wireless driver is loaded | 05:07 |
| susundbe1g | joejack: dmesg will show the prints the driver might made | 05:08 |
| kunji | I have used pastebin plenty in the past, I think this is pretty much just you being condescending because you assume the problem is me making a rookie mistake that isn't worth your time :P | 05:08 |
| susundbe1g | and 'iwconfig' should show the device | 05:08 |
| joejack | my wirless was working great but now I can't connect | 05:08 |
| lotuspsychje | kunji: no need to make early conclusions mate, just paste your problem(with or without pastebin) in channel once in a while | 05:09 |
| kunji | I don't see what you're getting at... I did exactly what you're saying, I did post the problem in channel. (or has someone else been using my nick and being an ass with it?) | 05:10 |
| joejack | someone want to help me debug my wireless probs? | 05:11 |
| lotuspsychje | !patience | joejack | 05:11 |

| jaypro | however, i was unable to mount the drives. how do i mount the hard drives that are raid1 config? | 05:49 |
| kunji | In fact lotuspsychje, I suppose I should restate my question. How should I go about finding what modified an arbitrary file on my system (or in the case of iptables it may actually even be an arbitrary place in memory). | 05:50 |

| drupin | kunji: is it Adobe Flash plugin for Mozilla names? u talking about | 06:20 |

| penster | how do you install windows with unetbootin | 06:21 |
| drupin | kunji: not plugin i need player... | 06:21 |
| LorSamPau_w | penster, you can't | 06:22 |
| drupin | also on google chrome nor mozilla | 06:22 |
| kunji | The plugin is the player drupin, it's what plays it in Firefox | 06:22 |
| kunji | It should be built in on Chrome, no? | 06:22 |
| penster | hmmm, is there a tool to do so? | 06:22 |
| rapstudio | kunji : f | 06:22 |
| LorSamPau_w | penster, what windows version? | 06:22 |
| penster | win7 | 06:22 |
| drupin | means? | 06:22 |
| kunji | rapstudio, I don't think you have a problem then. | 06:22 |
| anternat2 | wilee-nilee: yes sda5 was the server | 06:22 |
| penster | I tried with unetbootin... failed | 06:22 |
| kunji | Unetbootin can be finicky, I sometimes have to try several times before it works correctly | 06:23 |
| ph1rmw4r3 | ^ | 06:23 |
| LorSamPau_w | penster, for win7 you just must format your usbflash to fat32/ntfs, then copy content of the iso and then in gparted add boot flag on the partition | 06:23 |
| penster | yea, thats why i kept trying | 06:24 |
| penster | LorSamPau_w, ill try that | 06:24 |
| penster | thanks | 06:24 |
| kunji | Oh windows actually has it's own tool for making a bootable usb, I don't think Unetbootin works for that one | 06:24 |
| rapstudio | i have a radeon graphic card...and its also at 80 degrees ....just close to the critical temp....i haven't updated the drivers for my graphic card thogh..is that a problem | 06:24 |
| penster | kunji, do you know the name of the tool | 06:25 |
| wilee-nilee | anternat2, sda5 is showing as a unknown file type, it isn't mounting at the least, the script is empty of any info on grub consequently. | 06:25 |
| kunji | But rapstudio, 80 F is not close to critical for a graphics card, if it was 80 C it would be | 06:25 |
| LorSamPau_w | penster, it will work... i tried that for win7 and win8... works every time | 06:25 |
| kunji | Hmm, I haven't had the same experience as you LorSamPau_w, but it can't hurt trying. I don't remember the name of the tool, lemme google around and see if I can find it again. | 06:26 |
| rapstudio | i don't what is c and f. | 06:26 |
| rapstudio | i just guessed earlier | 06:26 |
| kunji | Celsius and Farenheit | 06:26 |
| penster | LorSamPau_w, maybe i just need the hp usb format tool. everytime i installed with unetbootin my usb would boot to purple ubuntu screen with only default as option | 06:26 |
| Phiscribe | does one use the ubuntu bug reporting mechanism for kubuntu? its seems to have changed lately. the desktop cd iso's are too large to burn. | 06:27 |
| anternat2 | yes wilee-nilee : showing as unknown type, i think i have marked it with other software trying to rescue it. but it is definitely where mt linux lies | 06:27 |
| === |_ocke2 is now known as |_ocke | ||
| rapstudio | its 80 degree celsius | 06:27 |
| kunji | The measurements are probably Celsius, but I just went with what you said, which was F, yeah 80 C is a problem | 06:27 |
| rapstudio | then what shud i do? | 06:28 |
| gordonjcp | rapstudio: fix the cooling fan? | 06:28 |
| kunji | Have you cleaned out all the dust? If you've owned it a while, then you might also want to check that the thermal paste is still paste and hasn't all dried up and cracked. | 06:28 |
| Geoffrey2 | what is the recommended number of partitions for Ubuntu? | 06:28 |
| wilee-nilee | anternat2, I think you might make a thread on the ubuntu forums, it look pretty broken from here. | 06:28 |
| m3pow | also make sure it's fanned propertly | 06:28 |
| kunji | But doing that requires lifting up the processor, so I would try everything else first | 06:29 |
| kunji | Including updating to the latest drivers | 06:29 |
| gordonjcp | Geoffrey2: depends what you're trying to do | 06:29 |
| m3pow | kunji you have a laptop ? | 06:29 |
| gordonjcp | Geoffrey2: I tend to go with four, for boot, swap, root and home | 06:29 |

| kunji | Probably not rapstudio, try pretty much everything else first. | 06:30 |
| rapstudio | yes | 06:30 |
| kunji | Also you don't want to void any warranty you may have | 06:30 |
| wilee-nilee | Geoffrey2, 1 for the OS 1 for swap, you can seperate home if needed to upgrade or change the OS. | 06:30 |
| tasslehoff | Ubuntu 12.04 offers me no restricted drivers for my T530, but I suspect I need an NVIDIA one to make my minidisplayport work. | 06:30 |
| rapstudio | i haven't updated the graphic drivers.... kunji | 06:31 |
| kunji | fishcooker: It's basically robust out of the box. | 06:31 |
| kunji | rapstudio: Well, give that a try ^_^ | 06:31 |
| anternat2 | wilee-nilee: thank you for your suggestion | 06:31 |
| Geoffrey2 | ok, I'm dual booting with Windows 7, which is already installed, and I have a good 120+ gigs free for Ubuntu.... | 06:31 |
| gordonjcp | fishcooker: robust? Buy a good-quality case, possibly a ruggedised rackmount case | 06:31 |
| rapstudio | okk | 06:32 |
| gordonjcp | fishcooker: mount your mechanical drives on rubber shockmounts, or stick to SSD if you can live with the limited space | 06:32 |
| rapstudio | by the way....is there any reason behind the heatup of my laptop | 06:32 |
| rapstudio | i mean idon't run too many processes | 06:32 |
| Geoffrey2 | ok, so the /, /home, and swap still pretty much covers it.... | 06:32 |
| gordonjcp | fishcooker: What exactly are you trying to do? | 06:32 |
| gordonjcp | Geoffrey2: and /boot | 06:33 |
| === n is now known as Guest96025 | ||
| kunji | Maybe, check if you have any processes that have run wild and are running up 100% cpu. You can see what is using the most by using the top command in the terminal. | 06:33 |
| wilee-nilee | Geoffrey2, You want to be aware of the limit of the number of primary partitions on a HD, and installing ubuntu in a logical in a extended partition with the swap most likely. | 06:33 |
| gordonjcp | Geoffrey2: that only needs to be quite small - 256MB is overkill - but it needs to be ext2 ideally | 06:33 |
| wilee-nilee | gordonjcp, boot partitions are not hardly needed. | 06:34 |
| wilee-nilee | but to each their own. | 06:34 |
| gordonjcp | wilee-nilee: yeah, but they make your life a lot easier | 06:34 |
| gordonjcp | there's no reason *not* to have one | 06:34 |
| kunji | Why would he have one? | 06:35 |
| Geoffrey2 | all of ubuntu is going in the extended partition... | 06:35 |
| wilee-nilee | gordonjcp, maybe your life as that is what you use, but not really grub can be purged and installed in the OS and the mbr. | 06:35 |

| kunji | pndemc_: you can just use get and put (maybe need a -r to make them recursive), unless it's an old version of ssh you're dealing with | 06:37 |
| ahmad | okay | 06:37 |
| gordonjcp | pndemc_: right, but what are you actually trying to do with this directory? Copy it from one machine to another? | 06:37 |
| pndemc_ | nopf, just another folder in the same /home/ direcotry | 06:38 |
| gordonjcp | pndemc_: scp -r <source> <dest> ought to work, or maybe rsync -ave ssh --recursive <source> <dest> | 06:38 |
| gordonjcp | pndemc_: oh, then just ssh in and cp -r | 06:38 |
| pndemc_ | what | 06:39 |
| pndemc_ | what's the cp -r for? | 06:39 |
| gordonjcp | pndemc_: you want to copy a directory, right? | 06:39 |
| gordonjcp | cp --recursive source dest | 06:39 |
| pndemc_ | yes | 06:39 |
| kunji | fishcooker: You can secure it various ways, including iptables or ufw, snort, etc... security is a large topic, you can install the LAMP stack with one command, it's something like sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ | 06:39 |
| kunji | And the ^ is not a typo | 06:40 |
| hateball | I would use rsync, especially if it's something of size | 06:40 |
| gordonjcp | pndemc_: -r for "recursive" means "this, and everything below" | 06:40 |
| kunji | So that leaves what, JRE, tomcat+perl? Which should all install easily through Synaptic, unless you want the Oracle version for your JRE, in which case Oracle has direction on their site. | 06:41 |
| nguyentrihai | hey guy! | 06:42 |
| fishcooker | thanks kunji thats quite comprehensive | 06:44 |
| wxl | please tell me there's someone here that can save me. i'm running lubuntu on a netbook with a trackpad. everything was peachy keen and now all of a sudden if i try to move the cursor it scrolls. i do have 2-finger xy scrolling setup on autostart with synclient, so this behavior is not abnormal, but it is when i don't have two fingers on the track pad :) so my question: do you know of any way i can restart the trackpad driver??? | 06:45 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest38562 | ||
| gordonjcp | wxl: if you reboot then anything you did with synclient on the command-line will be forgotten | 06:46 |
| Geoffrey2 | thanks...can the updated ext for windows handle ext4 partitions, or should i stick with ext3? | 06:46 |
| wxl | gordonjcp: i'm trying to avoid rebooting but i did nothing with synclient between it working and it not working. | 06:47 |
| gordonjcp | wxl: weird | 06:47 |
| gordonjcp | wxl: synaptics is pretty weird and buggy | 06:47 |
| wxl | gordonjcp: i use it on a number of machines with no problems. just this one. | 06:47 |
| wxl | modprobe pulls up a variety of mouse drivers | 06:48 |
| gordonjcp | wxl: on my macbook I only ever use an external mouse, because the touchpad is so damn weird | 06:48 |
| wxl | one of which is synaptics | 06:48 |
| fishcooker | kunji: which version of your ubuntu server | 06:48 |
| ph1rmw4r3 | ubuntu is pretty weird and buggy | 06:48 |
| gordonjcp | wxl: on mac osx it just does crazy stuff, on Ubuntu it mostly works but you need to press really hard | 06:48 |
| wxl | staging/ste_rmi4 (what's that?) | 06:48 |
| fishcooker | i've heard about lucid server robustness here | 06:48 |
| * wxl doesn't have a mac | 06:48 | |
| gordonjcp | ph1rmw4r3: all OSes are | 06:48 |
| gordonjcp | ph1rmw4r3: Linux is the best of a bad bunch | 06:48 |
| wxl | so maybe i can restart modules | 06:49 |
| arpwatch | hi all | 06:49 |
| wxl | it's just a matter of figuring out which ones | 06:49 |
| gordonjcp | fishcooker: if you're installing a server, use an LTS | 06:49 |
| arpwatch | is there any way to have arpwatch start automatically when interfaces go up ?? look to do it but didn't succeed | 06:49 |

| gordonjcp | fishcooker: is the wireless connection the main connection for the server? Because that's a really bad idea | 06:50 |
| fishcooker | i have to | 06:51 |
| fishcooker | for pragmatic matter | 06:51 |
| kunji | fishcooker: I'm running the latest12.04 (as it is an LTS release), though I don't actually run the server version (the difference is more or less just having the GUI by default). My computer isn't primarily a server though, I just use it as one for my personal convenience. | 06:51 |
| gordonjcp | fishcooker: okay, well as long as you're not expecting more than a couple of simultaneous connections, it might work | 06:52 |
| kunji | gordonjcp: Like my case, where I only expect connections from me :P | 06:53 |
| gordonjcp | kunji: yeah, and if you're only connecting to one server at a time it should be fine | 06:54 |
| gordonjcp | kunji: if you want to do something like ssh in *and* use web *and* use mail, it'll just die | 06:54 |
| ph1rmw4r3 | cough bsd | 06:55 |
| Marzata | mosh or ssh? | 06:55 |
| ph1rmw4r3 | ssh | 06:55 |
| kunji | gordonjcp: Hmm, I actually haven't had any trouble doing that much. | 06:55 |
| Marzata | hmm, mosh seems to be better | 06:56 |
| fishcooker | hmmm gordonjcp actually what happen to ubuntu wireless card support? | 06:56 |
| kunji | gordonjcp: well, more or less, at the point where I'm putting through 720p video the buffering is too slow, but 480 works fine | 06:56 |
| Peddy | I'm getting strange messages in dmesg, 'UDP: short packet: From 74.165.56.154:36598 25649/109 to 192.168.1.69:49485'. The first address is from the US, I live in New Zealand. Am I being attacked? | 06:57 |

| ||arifaX | somone knows details about ap_scan parameter in wpa_supplicant.conf manpage only says: Access point scanning and selection control; one of 0, 1 (default), or 2. | 07:47 |

| Dalek_ | fidel: lightdm is not running.. there is a window on Ctrl+Alt+F8 stating "system is running in low graphics mode". But I don't know how to kill it. | 07:48 |

| Eagleman | python worked | 09:00 |
| Eagleman | but is it auto installed with ubuntu? | 09:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Eagleman: the man page would have told you how to see the version... | 09:00 |
| Eagleman | or did i install it my self? | 09:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Eagleman: its a default app | 09:00 |

| ActionParsnip | dalek_: look for the process you want to kiill. The 2nd colomn is the PID | 09:05 |
| dalek_ | surely someone must know how to kill the x failsafe windows?? | 09:05 |
| ActionParsnip | dalek_: not obvious what was going on here? | 09:06 |
| LorSamPau_w | dalek_, the command is "xkill" =) | 09:06 |
| dalek_ | ActionParsnip: If I knew the process I would. | 09:06 |
| dalek_ | what does xkill do? | 09:06 |
| ActionParsnip | dalek_: lets you click on a window and kill it...man pages and the web would have told you that.. | 09:07 |
| LorSamPau_w | It kills a client by its X resource and not by process ID | 09:07 |

| [twisti] | they all seem to think they should have another drive, but they dont, its one of the many bugs that showed up when i unfortunately upgraded from LTS 10 to LTS 12 | 09:09 |
| fidel | as dpkg -l lists all installed packages -> the rest filters it | 09:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Eagleman: dpkg -l | egrep 'python|setuptools|python-numpy|python-imaging|libvirt|bindings' | 09:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Eagleman: may want to remove the first python in the quotes, and the pipe character | 09:09 |

| layke | I get cp omitting directory when trying to copy | 09:10 |

| layke | Ah thanks. :) | 09:11 |

| msmith0957 | I'm staring at the installation screen that lets you select which device/partition to install ubuntu on. but its blank. machine has a raid card but i dont believe thats the issue bc its currently in ata mode and a live cd saw the drives just fine. | 09:13 |

| ActionParsnip | dalek_: thought about rebooting? | 09:14 |
| dalek_ | ActionParsnip: rebooting? lol.. done that countless times already. I am always stuck with the xfailsafe low-graphics mode window lock-up freeze. | 09:15 |

| Eagleman | I am missing the rest | 09:17 |
| dalek_ | LorSamPau_w: no... but I HAVE tried recovery mode, and.. I don't know why, but the nvidia installer won't run from the recovery console... | 09:17 |
| Eagleman | What in need is: https://github.com/ArchipelProject/Archipel/wiki/Installation%3A-Agent | 09:18 |
| fidel | dalek_: how about trying to get rid of that special mode as a first step? | 09:18 |
| dalek_ | fidel: sorry... what? | 09:18 |
| Eagleman | But i have to be sure if it will be auto installed during the instalation or if i did install it somehow | 09:18 |
| fidel | as in using the default drivers provided - then do a normal boot - kill lightdm & x and run the NVIDIA sh thing | 09:18 |

| fidel | never had that issue while installing nvidia-drivers - but i never started from recovdery-mode either dalek_ | 09:19 |
| LorSamPau_w | dalek_, ubuntu have problems with some video cards, nomodeset helped me other time | 09:19 |
| d1rkp1tt | Anyone able to help me with a VNC issue.. I can connect locally but not through my ssh tunnel .... its reaching the server.. hence log | 09:19 |

| dalek_ | LorSamPau_w: is nomodeset something I need to install? it doesn't appear to be present on my system. | 09:20 |
| d1rkp1tt | So it seems its not forwarding from ssh to vncserver | 09:20 |
| d1rkp1tt | I have tried settings like X11forwarding | 09:20 |
| d1rkp1tt | etc | 09:20 |
| LorSamPau_w | dalek_, nope, you can set it in the grub, before loading the os | 09:20 |

| LorSamPau_w | dalek_, when you are selecting the os before loading it - press F6(Other options) - there will be nomodeset option | 09:23 |
| ombletukelis | hey | 09:23 |
| ombletukelis | :D | 09:23 |
| ombletukelis | whats up | 09:23 |
| dalek_ | ActionParsnip: sounds complicated... I am soooo tired. I am going to try and find this nomodeset this then I may have to quit for the night | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip | dalek_: not at all | 09:24 |
| ActionParsnip | dalek_: its very simple | 09:24 |
| LorSamPau_w | dalek_, if it isn't there - you can manualy edit the os line by pressing "e" - and add nomodeset | 09:24 |
| ActionParsnip | dalek_: hold shift at boot, delete the words (using keyboard): quiet splash and add the word: nouveau.blacklist=1 press ENTER to continue the boot, how is taht in any way hard. Its basically typing..? | 09:25 |
| LorSamPau_w | and to edit the line you must press "e" | 09:25 |
| dalek_ | ActionParsnip: I am going to have to write this down since I won't be able to see this when I reboot. | 09:26 |
| LorSamPau_w | 1) During the restart, when you see the “Grub Loading” message, immediately press “ESC” or holde "SHIFT" while booting to get to the grub menu. 2) Highlight the first entry and press “e” to edit the entry. 3) Scroll down to the line that starts with “linux…” and move the cursor to the end. Enter “nomodeset” or "nouveau.blacklist=1" 4) Press Ctrl + X to continue the booting process. | 09:27 |

| jalexandru | hi, silly question I guess but I need to know... is there a way ubuntu 64bit can run in a 32bit computer? | 09:29 |
| ActionParsnip | dalek_: you will force the OS to use failsafe vga and you will get a desktop | 09:29 |
| ActionParsnip | jalexandru: not possible | 09:29 |
| jalexandru | ActionParsnip: thanks | 09:29 |
| ActionParsnip | jalexandru: the install media will also refuse to install | 09:29 |
| melvincv | Is there a way to get a clean GNOME 3 install on Ubuntu without breaking anything? installing gnome-panel caused stability issues... | 09:30 |
| jalexandru | ActionParsnip: I've installed ubuntu 64bit on an old computer are there any reasons to install 32bit? or they'll work the same? | 09:31 |
| msmith0957 | So, I've determined that fdisk -l shows my disk, but the ubuntu installer does not populate my disk/partition details, any ideas ? | 09:32 |
| compdoc | msmith0957, youre trying to install ubuntu, and its not working? | 09:33 |
| LorSamPau_w | msmith0957, raid controller? | 09:33 |
| msmith0957 | compdoc: yes sir | 09:33 |
| msmith0957 | LorSamPau_w: yes, but its in ata mode currently | 09:33 |
| Noriandir | jalexandru, depends on how old is the pc. if it is older than a Core 2 Duo probably it wont suport 64bits | 09:33 |
| msmith0957 | LorSamPau_w: a live cd (parted magic) allowed me to access the drive with no issues | 09:34 |
| compdoc | msmith0957, how many drives are installed? | 09:34 |
| dalek_ | ActionParsnip: that did nothing.. after I made the edit, the retarded "system running in low-graphics mode blah blah blah" window popped back up instantly. Back to square 1. AAARRGHHH!!! | 09:34 |
| msmith0957 | compdoc: single, in ata mode | 09:34 |
| compdoc | do you have teh choice of ahci? | 09:34 |

| msmith0957 | no ahci options in bios :/ | 09:34 |
| msmith0957 | just raid/ata | 09:34 |
| compdoc | no worries | 09:34 |
| compdoc | its an ide drive? | 09:35 |
| LorSamPau_w | msmith0957, well then i guess that ubuntu just don't have the driver... parted magic is better in this way | 09:35 |
| msmith0957 | yerp | 09:35 |
| dalek_ | ActionParsnip: Do you think it is worth trying LorSamPau_w 's nomodeset thingy? | 09:35 |
| ActionParsnip | dalek_: worth a shot | 09:35 |
| compdoc | msmith0957, are you trying to dual boot? is some other OS on there as well? | 09:35 |
| dalek_ | ActionParsnip: rebooting again :( ..... | 09:35 |
| LorSamPau_w | dalek_, it helped me with geforce 550 ti | 09:36 |
| msmith0957 | compdoc: currently runs xp, but trying to get rid of it to throw ubuntu on here | 09:36 |
| compdoc | msmith0957, ubuntu 12.04? | 09:36 |

| mystblade9 | Is it safe to use the X Updates PPA? I need it because the propietary nVidia driver that is included with the current Ubuntu release causes system freezes. | 10:02 |
| dr_willis | no x at all. | 10:03 |
| unless | How do I check the available user groups of my machine? | 10:03 |
| unless | And how do I add a user to a group? | 10:03 |
| LorSamPau_w | dalek_, no windows at all ) | 10:03 |
| dr_willis | mystblade9: as safe as any other ppa. ive not heard of any issues with it | 10:03 |
| dalek_ | hooray! So I just type text at the end of the linux.... line? no need to delete anything else? | 10:04 |

| christaras | Hi guys i am usin ubuntu 12.04 and i have NO sound (LIke i dont have with any other distros/versions) except if i reload alsa. I have googled it but with no succes MANY MANY MANY times. Can you suggest a fix? | 10:05 |
| === mike is now known as Guest23205 | ||
| === miro is now known as Guest24217 | ||
| dr_willis | christaras: how are you reloading alsa? | 10:05 |
| christaras | sudo alsa force-reload | 10:06 |
| dr_willis | christaras: put that command in /etc/rc.local after a sleep 30 to let it wait a while.. perhaps | 10:06 |
| dr_willis | dirty work around.. | 10:06 |
| Guest24217 | hi, i created an user from terminal, but when i login with that user auto completes are not working. do i need a bashrc file to make it work? | 10:06 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis: the sleep will make the boot hang for 30s too | 10:06 |
| dr_willis | Guest24217: how did you make the user? | 10:07 |
| dr_willis | ActionParsnip: lightdm wont wait.. | 10:07 |
| Guest24217 | adduser -m bla | 10:07 |
| christaras | wait what do you mean? put that command in terminal "/etc/rc.local after a sleep 30" | 10:07 |
| dr_willis | Guest24217: you can copy the default files from /etc/skel/ | 10:07 |
| christaras | Hey about my problem just something i forgot sometimes the sound works perfectly when i boot without need to reload. | 10:08 |
| dr_willis | christaras: add 2 lines to /etc/rc.local befor the exit 0..... sleep 30 then your command, no sudo needed | 10:08 |
| Guest24217 | dr_willis, ah thank you | 10:08 |
| Guest24217 | : | 10:08 |
| Guest24217 | :) | 10:08 |
| dr_willis | christaras: ive had some cards work IF i cold booted straight to linux, but not if i rebooted from windows into linux. | 10:09 |
| dalek_ | dr_willis: that worked perfect! I can now finally run the Nvidia installer. *writes that down for next time a kernel update messes up my driver* thank you! | 10:10 |
| mystblade9 | dr_willis: What happens if I upgrade my Ubuntu to 12.10, when it is released, while having my Xorg been upgraded through the PPA? | 10:10 |
| dr_willis | mystblade9: upgrade tools normally disable all the ppa's | 10:10 |
| mystblade9 | dr_willis: Good ^^ | 10:10 |
| christaras | Thank you for your help i really apreciate it. SO this command is supposed to reload alsa on each boot after 30 sec system has loaded. | 10:10 |
| dr_willis | christaras: you got it. | 10:11 |
| jinu_ | GPT:damged | 10:11 |
| jinu_ | any help | 10:11 |
| dr_willis | 30 sec is just a guess.. it may not be needed at all | 10:11 |
| compdoc | jinu_, is the disk healthy? | 10:11 |
| christaras | Well i will make it less to make sure it will work :). THANK YOU. | 10:11 |
| dr_willis | you could make rc.lolcal play a sound if you wanted.. ;) | 10:11 |
| erqwerr | Not for me Windows | 10:12 |
| jinu_ | compdoc: ya | 10:12 |
| christaras | Nah... | 10:12 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis: rc.local is processed before lightdm, if you put the command in a script and run the script backgrounded, it allows the boot to continue :) | 10:12 |
| compdoc | jinu_, Ive never seen a damaged partition on any type. What caused it? | 10:12 |
| jinu_ | compdoc : it show all the partition | 10:13 |
| dr_willis | ActionParsnip: from what ive seen rc.local gets ran along side lightdm, sleep 30 & wont wait. | 10:13 |
| jinu_ | how to recover data from it? | 10:13 |
| compdoc | I dont know what that means | 10:13 |
| compdoc | oh, well just boot the live CD | 10:14 |
| dr_willis | oh in a script.. that would be a cleaner way | 10:14 |
| dr_willis | ;) | 10:14 |
| jinu_ | compdoc: ok | 10:14 |
| jinu_ | compdoc:then? | 10:14 |
| dr_willis | weird that it needs to get reloaded... | 10:14 |
| compdoc | then copy your files somewhere | 10:15 |
| BlackPanx | iostat -N should show device names, but it doesnt on one of my servers. do i need aditional package installed to make device-mapper show proper LV's of disk... ? | 10:15 |
| compdoc | jinu_, how large is the drive? | 10:15 |
| BlackPanx | maybe i need to mount another module | 10:16 |
| BlackPanx | into kernel | 10:16 |
| BlackPanx | ? | 10:16 |
| daemon | I want to tell a program to not use the conf.d config system and use a configuration file I specify manually | 10:16 |
| jinu_ | compdoc: 1 TB | 10:16 |
| daemon | what script will I need to edit to achieve this behaviour | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis: ahh, I've always made little scripts and added it that way, can help with stuff (especially startup stuf in X needing root access, bit hacky but t works) | 10:16 |
| jinu_ | now i am connected with other working hard disk | 10:17 |
| jrib | daemon: what program? What exactly do you want to accomplish? | 10:17 |
| jinu_ | when I use live cd, it is unbale to mount the hard disk | 10:17 |
| compdoc | jinu_, ok, well, a 1TB doesnt need a gpt partition type, but its ok. I use gpt on a few large volumes in raids | 10:17 |
| Guest24217 | dr_willis, i copied but, when i log in, bash does not work, when i give command bash it starts to working | 10:17 |
| daemon | jrib, exim4 I want it to use the default path the source version would normally use /etc/exim4.conf oir /usr/local/etc/exim4.conf | 10:18 |
| daemon | and not go through the conf.d/ dir at all | 10:18 |
| jinu_ | compdoc: Actually it automatically came when I done complete hard disk installation using ubuntu | 10:18 |
| Guest24217 | dr_willis, forget it i fixed thanks for your help :) | 10:19 |
| dr_willis | Guest24217: your user isusing sh... not bash.. is this on a vpn? | 10:21 |
| jinu_ | compdoc: is it possible to recover data from one partition? | 10:21 |
| Guest24217 | dr_willis, i used chsh command to run bash instead of sh. its working fine now | 10:21 |
| dr_willis | vpns and other hosting sites often default to sh not bash | 10:22 |
| dr_willis | or whatever you call those services.. | 10:22 |
| compdoc | jinu_, its possible, buit you wont know until you try | 10:22 |
| compdoc | but | 10:22 |
| jinu_ | compdoc: pls tell me the way | 10:23 |
| compdoc | boot the Live CD and look | 10:23 |

| BlackPanx | compdoc of course not, lvm2 is installed. and works. i just need mapped dm-0 to for example /dev/LV/LV_VSERVER | 10:56 |
| BlackPanx | dmsetup shows it | 10:57 |
| BlackPanx | but... | 10:57 |
| BlackPanx | iostat should too | 10:57 |
| m3pow | if there any ubuntu software that canhelp me run windows apps ? | 10:57 |
| BlackPanx | would like to get iostat work, since i run iostat for statistic purposes | 10:57 |
| Blazemore | m3pow: Yes, Wine | 10:57 |
| Blazemore | Do we have a shortcut for | 10:57 |
| Blazemore | !wine | 10:57 |
| ubottu | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 10:57 |

| BlackPanx | !playonlinux | 10:58 |
| m3pow | thanks a lot, appreciate it ! | 10:58 |
| BlackPanx | :( | 10:58 |
| N03L | m3pow: Yeah, Wine is one. But no guarantee the windows apps will run properly with it. | 10:58 |
| Blazemore | Of course there's no guarentee. m3pow What did you want to run, specifically? | 10:58 |
| BlackPanx | u might want to check http://www.playonlinux.com/en/ also, since that brings whole load of programs you can install and with settings for wine, to make it work. | 10:59 |
| m3pow | Blazemore , Eclipse IDE | 10:59 |
| Blazemore | m3pow: There's a Linux version of that already | 10:59 |
| m3pow | i just installed Ubuntu yesterday, love it | 10:59 |
| m3pow | is there ? | 10:59 |
| BlackPanx | m3pow you dont need wine for that | 10:59 |
| BlackPanx | of course | 10:59 |
| Blazemore | In fact, I didn't even know there was a Windows version of Eclipse | 10:59 |
| m3pow | oh great | 10:59 |
| Blazemore | Just open the Software Centre and search for Eclipse | 11:00 |
| m3pow | yes there is a windows version, i used it in college | 11:00 |
| Blazemore | Then click Install, put your password in, and boom, Eclipse is installed | 11:00 |
| naftilos76 | does anybody know where i can get latest thunderbird for my ubuntu 10.10 ? I tried a repo but something i wrong and synaptic does not show up the 3.3 ver while it should. | 11:00 |
| gordonjcp | isn't Eclipse written in Java? | 11:00 |
| Blazemore | Do not try to go to the eclipse website, download a file and do something with it | 11:00 |
| m3pow | yes it is written in JAVA | 11:00 |
| gordonjcp | and therefore, works on anything with a JVM? | 11:00 |
| m3pow | found it | 11:00 |
| Blazemore | In principle, yes | 11:00 |
| m3pow | had no idea | 11:00 |
| m3pow | thanks | 11:00 |
| BlackPanx | naftilos76 u need to add latest thunderbird repository, or just install it from their website... it's .deb package and it works like charm if you just click twice on it. | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | naftilos76: Maverick is EOL | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | naftilos76: so no, it shouldn't show anything, there are no more packages for Maverick | 11:01 |
| Blazemore | Maverick is my second favourite release, after 6.06 | 11:02 |
| naftilos76 | BlackPanx: their website does not give binaries - only source | 11:02 |
| m3pow | oh it has RoR aswell in software centre | 11:02 |
| Blazemore | What's RoR? | 11:03 |
| m3pow | Rails framework for Ruby language | 11:04 |
| m3pow | Ruby On Rails | 11:04 |
| Blazemore | Oh right | 11:04 |
| m3pow | and i see i can install Ruby from terminal | 11:04 |
| m3pow | Linux is so smooth | 11:04 |
| Blazemore | I'd always recommend using apt-get in a terminal to install software | 11:05 |
| Blazemore | m3pow: Is this your first Linux distro? | 11:05 |
| m3pow | yes | 11:05 |
| Blazemore | m3pow: have you come from Windows? | 11:05 |
| m3pow | yes...sadly | 11:05 |
| BlackPanx | baftilos76 did you open that tar.bz2 ? it's precompiled source. meaning, binary. but either way add ppa:mozillateam/thunderbird-stable | 11:05 |
| Blazemore | m3pow: Just a reminder that #ubuntu-beginners exists if you have any fundamental questions, or you think a question would be better suited | 11:06 |

| Noodels | Hi, I was this thread here which has helped me fix a problem ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7773811/gcc-compile-has-undefined-references-despite-previously-functional-linking-ubunt ), as a developer, should I make any changes to my program to make it compile straight away on ubuntu without having to apply patches to the Makefile after it's generated? Should I wait for autotools or gcc to be fixed? | 11:28 |
| qak | when i start mpd it says "failed to bind to 0.0.0.0:6600 address already in use", but `netstat -lptn` shows nothing on that port. any ideas? | 11:29 |

| qak | hal: i thought mc did that, but it's been a *long* time | 11:32 |

| iNTEl | nah | 11:51 |
| iNTEl | cfhowlett , its 1 hard disk | 11:52 |
| cfhowlett | iNTEl: ok. next thought: did you allow ubuntu to automatically partition or did you manually do it? | 11:52 |
| iNTEl | cfhowlett : 6 partitions , 1 hard disk , ubuntu installed on dev/sda6 15 GB , boot loader on dev/sda3 | 11:52 |
| iNTEl | no i manually did it | 11:52 |
| iNTEl | cuz i was have any operating system | 11:53 |

| ActionParsnip | iNTEl: are you chrooted? | 11:53 |
| iNTEl | i mean the whole hard disk | 11:53 |
| cfhowlett | iNTEl: final question: you DID remember that windows and ubuntu both like MBR partition schemes? And that means no more than 4 primary partitions? | 11:53 |

| cob | except aptitude | 12:34 |
| dr_willis | gry you just exploreing the services? | 12:35 |
| gry | aptitude gui ? | 12:35 |
| gry | yes dr_willis | 12:35 |
| dr_willis | aptitude is sort of obsolete also | 12:35 |
| cob | right, but gui, whether curses or X based, is nasty for configuring software... | 12:35 |
| gry | dr_willis: some are unneeded and a description would be about all i would want -- and a button to turn off without editing files manually | 12:35 |
| dr_willis | gry not surer there is a upstart gui tool like that | 12:36 |
| cob | man update-rc.d | 12:36 |
| dr_willis | remove the unneeded services or rename the services /etc/init.d/servicename.conf i belive to disable them | 12:36 |
| dr_willis | update-rc.d may not work with all upstart services. but it may be better these days | 12:37 |
| dr_willis | it usedc to not work with them at all ages ago. | 12:37 |
| cob | i looked recently | 12:37 |
| cob | it works with most things now | 12:38 |
| gry | the rc runlevel things are something i keep trying to avoid (last time i tried to understand it was fairly confusing and i would expect that there is an application not involving such mess to do the job) | 12:38 |
| dr_willis | upstart is getting mature enough where they will replace it soon i bet... ;) | 12:38 |
| ikonia | gry: it's basically a mess at the moment | 12:38 |
| alpre | you don't understand the beauty of it | 12:39 |
| ikonia | I really do | 12:39 |
| alpre | :) | 12:39 |
| dr_willis | its amazeing it works as well as it does | 12:39 |
| gry | (such as er, i installed apache and start it up on each boot but i don't need it anymore as it's a home box) | 12:39 |
| ikonia | the legacy init process is still the most sane tool. | 12:39 |
| dr_willis | gry use package managre to remove apache, or rename the apache.conf to apache.dontrun is one way | 12:40 |
| cob | yeah, i think so too | 12:40 |
| gry | ikonia: the update-rc.d is ? | 12:40 |
| ikonia | gry: no, systemV init | 12:40 |
| ikonia | gry: older still | 12:40 |
| cob | gry: no, just hardcore shell scripts :D | 12:40 |

| dD0T | Hi. Is there any reason the "time in other locations" feature doesn't include timezone names? I really don't want to select a city name when all I want is the timezone. | 12:40 |
| dr_willis | BlueWolf: blender. ;) but thats for much more | 12:40 |
| dD0T | (there is UTC but that seems to be it) | 12:41 |
| GirlyGirl | BlueWolf: Spore itself runs properly under WINE | 12:41 |
| ikonia | BlueWolf: depending on wine as a long term solution is not wise thoug | 12:41 |

| Promethes | how to install ia32-libs-multiarch on ubuntu 12.04? i tried sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch but i get error about libcurl3 (386) dependency that cannot be installed. Anyone? | 12:42 |
| === Not is now known as nothingspecial | ||

| ubottu | ia32-libs-multiarch (source: ia32-libs): Multi-arch versions of former ia32-libraries. In component universe, is extra. Version 20090808ubuntu36 (precise), package size 4 kB, installed size 39 kB (Only available for amd64; ia64; i386) | 12:42 |
| BlueWolf | 12:42 | |
| BlueWolf | dr_willis: Blender will take ages to learn not that I can't. GirlyGirl: I use Spore as an example. ikonia: I know it will run under wine, any similar programs? | 12:42 |
| Eagleman | dr_willis what do you think about managing KVM hypervisor, do you prefer the cli os a webgui? | 12:42 |
| GirlyGirl | BlueWolf: You could also use inkscape or even gimp but that needs some practice | 12:43 |
| DX099 | hello, everyone, hmm how should I put it, have anyone heard about this : http://vimeo.com/48631985 ? | 12:44 |

| MonkeyDust | DX099 it's on omgubuntu today | 12:44 |
| DX099 | ikonia, I believe it is | 12:44 |

| knick_ | Hi guys - question - I can't get GNOME3 to work with the neat looking interface. I keep getting placed in the classic layout. Tried using tutorials but it just doesn't work (with Unity, that is) | 12:45 |
| usr13 | DX099: I'm sure some of us have. Why do you ask? | 12:45 |
| BlueWolf | GirlyGirl: I know gimp really well strangely, but I wondered if there was a program more suited to making Characters, drawings of them similar to warcraft or Wow drawings? | 12:45 |
| usr13 | ikonia: It uses Ubuntu OS. | 12:45 |
| DX099 | usr13, does that mean that Unity is definitely going over table-like interface ? | 12:45 |
| gry | knick_ you may want to mention your hardware and specs details ( but don't address me, someone else would be helping you ) | 12:45 |
| ikonia | usr13: ahh, it uses ubuntu, ok, thank you | 12:46 |
| knick_ | gry: It worked before, it might be some configuration issue, I don't know.. My hardware is strong enough for it though | 12:46 |
| GirlyGirl | BlueWolf: I doubt you will find programs with ready made character builders like adding a premade eyeball etc except in game creators | 12:46 |
| DX099 | ikonia, yesterday I was struggling to sync an android device with Ubuntu 12.04... so instant android recognition.. I won't say no | 12:46 |
| iNTEl | actionparsnip : ? | 12:47 |
| ikonia | DX099: sorry, I don't understand you're failure to sync with android has anything to do with the video you posted | 12:47 |
| usr13 | ikonia: The "wave-of-the-future" includes smart-phones and tables, *but also includes Linux/Ubuntu*. | 12:47 |
| ikonia | "yeah right" | 12:47 |
| cfhowlett | BlueWolf: maybe cinepaint?? | 12:48 |
| BlueWolf | GirlyGirl: Dully noted, Well I guess it's the hard way round in Gimp. Haaaaaaa | 12:48 |
| DX099 | ikonia, on the video, you can see Unity instantly turning into android phone interface | 12:48 |
| BlueWolf | cfhowlett: Eplain more? :D | 12:48 |
| ikonia | DX099: yes, towards the end you can see unity running. | 12:48 |
| zelluz | ActionParsnip: Dont know if you remember me(the issue with duplicates of everything on screen) But I fixed it! The issue was corrupt .gvfs in users home folder. | 12:48 |
| DX099 | ikonia, it's not just a matter of seeing it, the guy clearly says : "thanks to the power of Ubuntu" or something similar | 12:49 |
| ikonia | DX099: again, I don't see the relevence. | 12:49 |
| ActionParsnip | zelluz: ahhhh | 12:49 |
| cfhowlett | BlueWolf: never mind. seems to be a customized fork of gimp for retouching and painting bitmap film frames. | 12:49 |
| ikonia | DX099: #ubuntu-discuss maybe a good place to chat about it/get info etc | 12:50 |
| DX099 | ikonia, ok | 12:50 |

| MonkeyDust | griffrez there are plenty how to's, here's one http://ubuntublog.org/cinnamon-desktop.htm | 13:07 |
| dr_willis | check the cinnamon homepage griffrez its not by ubuntu so not really supported here | 13:07 |
| dr_willis | griffrez: 'best' would be a ppa that allows for easy removaL of it | 13:08 |
| DX099 | griffrez, there's a ppa. You could check linux mint irc. | 13:08 |
| punisher_ | how can i check my disks manually for errors? especially the home partition | 13:08 |
| griffrez | Oh | 13:08 |
| punisher_ | .... | 13:08 |

| punisher_ | dr_willis: would u please tell me more about the fsck command? i'm not familiar with the command....thnx | 13:09 |

| gordonjcp | niklas: and have you learned an important lesson from that? | 13:10 |
| geirha | niklas: mkdir -m 1777 /tmp | 13:11 |
| niklas | gordonjcp, i think so...was not my brightest moment...but still would like to repair it.. | 13:11 |
| gordonjcp | niklas: try something like "sudo mkdir /tmp && sudo chmod 1777 /tmp && sudo chown root.root /tmp" | 13:11 |
| gordonjcp | niklas: that's off the top of my head; I could be wrong but it shouldn't make anything *worse*... | 13:12 |
| usr13 | phenom: In a terminal type man fsck and hit enter. | 13:12 |
| usr13 | punisher_: In a terminal type man fsck and hit enter. | 13:12 |
| usr13 | phenom: Sorry, wrong nic | 13:13 |
| geirha | punisher_: There's not much to it. fsck /dev/sda1 checks the filesystem on /dev/sda1 (may also fix it if there's errors) | 13:13 |
| usr13 | geirha: punisher_ fsck -y /dev/sda1 | 13:14 |
| usr13 | to fix.... | 13:14 |
| usr13 | ... by itself, fsck just checks | 13:15 |
| geirha | well, it'll ask you what to do if it finds errors | 13:15 |
| punisher_ | usr13: when i typed fsck /dev/sda1 this error appeared: fsck.ext2: Permission denied while trying to open /dev/sda1 You must have r/w access to the filesystem or be root | 13:15 |
| usr13 | punisher_: Are you running the livecd? | 13:16 |
| punisher_ | no...i;m in ubuntu | 13:16 |
| geirha | punisher_: You need read and write permission to the device, so typically one runs fsck as root. sudo fsck /dev/sda1 | 13:16 |
| usr13 | punisher_: As you probably have already noticed, it will require admin priviledges | 13:16 |
| geirha | punisher_: But DO NOT run it on a filesystem that is mounted | 13:16 |
| usr13 | phenom: Do *not* run fsck on a mounted partition. | 13:16 |
| usr13 | punisher_: Do *not* run fsck on a mounted partition. | 13:17 |
| usr13 | punisher_: Are you running the liveCD? If not, wait until you are. | 13:17 |
| punisher_ | yes usr13 you're right...it was mounted but when i unmounted it and ran it again this error appeared: fsck.ext2: Permission denied while trying to open /dev/sda1 You must have r/w access to the filesystem or be root | 13:18 |
| usr13 | punisher_: sudo | 13:18 |
| lenneth | hello everyone | 13:18 |
| BluesKaj | punisher_, use sudo | 13:18 |
| punisher_ | aha....I have to boot with live cd | 13:18 |
| punisher_ | i did but the result was that i've mentioned | 13:18 |
| usr13 | punisher_: If the partition is unmounted you do not need the CD. | 13:18 |
| punisher_ | usr13: look there are lots of strage things going on that maybe interconnected: | 13:20 |
| usr13 | punisher_: Such as......? | 13:20 |
| punisher_ | 1) my vuze cannot save the data on the partition it was downloading on...despite the fact that it's not full | 13:20 |
| ActionParsnip | punisher_: is the partition NTFS based? | 13:21 |
| punisher_ | 2) when i entered my ubuntu this bizzare error appeared on my screen asking me to enter the keyring which was the first time | 13:21 |
| punisher_ | yes ActionParsnip it is | 13:21 |
| ActionParsnip | punisher_: then fsck is of no value to you | 13:21 |
| ActionParsnip | punisher_: is the partition mounted writable? | 13:21 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: nice crystal ball ;) | 13:21 |
| punisher_ | 3) the last one is this error for disk errors | 13:22 |
| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: its common | 13:22 |
| punisher_ | yes ActionParsnip it was, before the electricity went off.... | 13:22 |
| punisher_ | how can i check that? | 13:22 |
| usr13 | punisher_: Use MS Windows | 13:22 |
| ActionParsnip | punisher_: when did you lst chkdsk the ntfs partition in windows? | 13:22 |
| punisher_ | Yesterday | 13:23 |
| usr13 | punisher_: Is this a dual boot system? | 13:23 |
| ActionParsnip | punisher_: can you run: mount and give the line that references the NTFS partition you are saving to | 13:23 |
| punisher_ | i have two hard disks and Disk Utility says that one of my disks has a few bad sectors | 13:24 |
| punisher_ | yes my system is a dual boot one | 13:24 |
| usr13 | punisher_: Ok, then, try booting to MS Windows and it will check/repair it's filesystem. | 13:24 |
| usr13 | or attempt to.... | 13:24 |
| punisher_ | ActionParsnip would u be clear about the thing i have to do? because i'm not familiar with this... | 13:24 |
| punisher_ | thanx usr13 | 13:25 |
| ActionParsnip | punisher_: in a terminal, run: mount one line will identify the NTFS partition. What is the line? | 13:25 |
| punisher_ | ActionParsnip i ran it and this appeared: | 13:26 |
| punisher_ | No command 'mout' found, did you mean: Command 'lout' from package 'lout' (universe) Command 'gout' from package 'scotch' (universe) Command 'mount' from package 'mount' (main) Command 'mount' from package 'loop-aes-utils' (universe) Command 'most' from package 'most' (universe) mout: command not found | 13:26 |

| Dark-chc | hello | 13:43 |
| Dark-chc | i'm curious about 12.04, and i want to know if unity is better in 12.04 | 13:44 |
| fidel | Dark-chc: then test 12.04 i.e. using a live cd or a vm | 13:44 |
| fidel | better is heavily user-specific ;) | 13:44 |
| gordonjcp | Dark-chc: it's an incremental process | 13:45 |
| usr13 | Dark-chc: 12.04.1 is out so.... | 13:45 |
| gordonjcp | Dark-chc: 12.10 is nice | 13:45 |
| mobius420 | greetings #ubuntu | 13:45 |
| Dark-chc | gordonjcp: i'm so happy with 11.10 should i try 12.04? | 13:46 |
| usr13 | Dark-chc: "is it better" or "will it get better" well, yes, and yes, but better is subjective so... | 13:46 |
| mobius420 | I am thoroughly stuck trying to downgrade the bios on my ell laptop | 13:46 |
| mobius420 | dell* | 13:46 |
| mobius420 | can someone tell me how to extract an hdr file easily possibly online? | 13:46 |
| usr13 | Dark-chc: If you are happy with 11.10, stay .... | 13:46 |
| gordonjcp | I must admit, I find all this "make it look like Gnome 2" stuff kind of cute | 13:46 |
| chicognu | in my opinion unity is not better and cant get better due to the concepts it is build | 13:46 |
| chicognu | resuming: i hate unity so much | 13:46 |
| gordonjcp | do you remember when Windows 95 came out, and we all discovered you could run progman.exe and make it look like Windows 3.1? | 13:47 |
| usr13 | Dark-chc: But LTS is a good place to be, (IMHO). | 13:47 |
| gordonjcp | usr13: good point | 13:47 |
| mobius420 | my computer has a bios virus and the only way I can clean it is to kill the bios ....since I have the latest bios version it has been very difficult to do | 13:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Dark-chc: it runs well here | 13:47 |
| gordonjcp | chicognu: each to their own | 13:47 |
| usr13 | mobius420: How did you get a bios virus? | 13:47 |
| mobius420 | all of the dell utilities are designed to run from windows and even then if you already have the latest version installed it wont let you downgrade | 13:47 |
| mobius420 | usr13, my former roommate decided to be a bad person | 13:48 |
| mobius420 | I know for a fact thats what it is.... my bios jumped from version 10 to version 8 on its own | 13:48 |
| mobius420 | and then i start getting backdoored constantly | 13:48 |
| mobius420 | I really need help getting an hdr file extracted from a particular dell bios utility | 13:49 |
| gordonjcp | mobius420: this is probably not the best place for it | 13:49 |
| usr13 | mobius420: YOu will more-than-likely need to use a boot CD to flash the bios | 13:49 |
| usr13 | mobius420: or USB... | 13:50 |
| usr13 | mobius420: There are utilities out there. But... it's not within the scope of Ubuntu/support. | 13:51 |

| makezan | alpre tried both ya. and the logs through alt f4 don't really give me much | 14:47 |
| SAngeli | ok | 14:47 |
| DasEi | makezan: could be a corrupt installer, did you do both, md5-check on the isofile and the cd's self-test ? | 14:47 |

| TomM2 | Let me explain, I want it to say "Mocha" when my system boots. | 15:12 |
| TomM2 | In grub it would be "e" right? | 15:12 |
| dr_willis | say it where? | 15:12 |
| cortexA9 | DasEi no. | 15:12 |
| cortexA9 | windows 8 have a protection. | 15:12 |

| makezan | ActionParsnip my problem is while installing ubuntu server it just hangs and dhcp config don't work? I tried BSD linux, Fedora, Centos and Win7 on that same box, cable and ethernet port and they all worked. I suspected hash, but it was obviously not it, I also suspected disk errors, and that came with no errors too. I'm just wondering what could be the issue | 15:13 |
| dr_willis | TomM2: clarify what you mean. | 15:13 |
| DasEi | TomM2: so you want an espeak, say in /etc/rc.local, for instance or in a cronjob, or even in a upstart-event | 15:14 |

| TomM2 | I know. | 15:18 |
| TomM2 | But how do you edit the kernel while logged in. | 15:18 |
| DasEi | TomM2: you won't else would have to rebuild init.rd | 15:18 |
| dr_willis | you edit the grub configs in /etc/grub.d/ or /etc/default/grub | 15:18 |
| dr_willis | then rerun update-grub | 15:18 |
| TomM2 | If you have ever held shift on boot and then pressed "e" you should understand. | 15:18 |
| dr_willis | TomM2: yes.. we know and are telling you... | 15:19 |
| DasEi | TomM2: it's clear, mind DrWillis | 15:19 |

| m000gle | dr_willis: An underestimate, maybe =P The once you have too many, though, Appearance becomes a bit unwieldy as a manager. Plus, loading the wallpapers each time can take a while. | 15:27 |
| dr_willis | m000gle: i just keep my wapllpapers dir sorted and right click to chage it. or use some other wallpaper tools | 15:28 |

| OerHeks | m000gle, rename the wallpapers, like Win7flower.png Win8flower.png and so on | 15:29 |
| hal | MonkeyDust: if you see NewWorld around later, please pass it on for me | 15:29 |

| dr_willis | m000gle: i just normally use some randomizer i found on webupd8 or omgubuntu, havent even messed with them lately. | 15:30 |
| dr_willis | i just sort the folders out by hand then set the randomixer to one dir i want for a while. | 15:31 |
| m000gle | OerHeks: Thanks. I may do that as a band-aid solution. Sorting it by drop-down menu has the advantage of only having to load one category at a time. Once you have dozens of wallpapers, it can take quite a while to load them each time you open Appearance. | 15:31 |

| bazhang | fre on ONE line please | 15:50 |
| fre | i cannot actuall load the system itself | 15:50 |
| fre | i went through all the net to find the answer | 15:51 |
| bazhang | !enter | fre | 15:51 |

| sefsfeesgfeasgfa | dr_willis can you tell me the results of your searches? where is the aircrack-ng program? | 15:57 |
| DasEi | kunji: anyway, wrong place here, get it as ppa, from their homepage or ask in #backtrack, no penetration testing here | 15:58 |
| bazhang | it's #backtrack-linux | 15:58 |

| abourget | is there a command I can run to reload the theme ? | 16:00 |
| fre | so what should i do with the problem. It occurs right after Bios ends completing all the neccessary operations it performs and gives a wat for the OS loading process per se. That is when i should come across the choice of OSs. What i find is this error of /ubuntu/winboot/wubildr.mbr which is not available and then after I press "enter" windows 8(which is currently the main system) is loading. What does it mean? Is it me that is so stupid or this | 16:01 |
| fre | is just that i am unlucky? | 16:01 |
| bazhang | fre, thats a wubi install | 16:01 |
| fre | so what | 16:02 |
| bazhang | fre, not a true dual-boot | 16:02 |

| ActionParsnip | there is pdf2text | 16:03 |
| asker | i installed ubuntu studio and i installed gnome but when i control volume on keyboard my volume seem in box bottom of screen lowresorution | 16:03 |
| ActionParsnip | !find pdf2text | 16:04 |
| fre | I guess i will undo partitioning and delete the system. That's sad. Thanx for all you efforts | 16:04 |
| ubottu | File pdf2text found in emacspeak, ruby-poppler | 16:04 |
| kunji | reuf: those things usually don't work that great, depends in the text in the pdf was text though, or if the pdf resulted from say a scan. There are ways to do both, I forget the names of the respective tools you would want though. | 16:04 |
| ActionParsnip | hmm | 16:04 |
| ActionParsnip | !find pdftotext | 16:04 |
| ubottu | File pdftotext found in dhelp, poppler-utils | 16:04 |
| ActionParsnip | reuf: install poppler-utils and you will get the pdftotext command | 16:05 |
| kunji | fre: You could try using an actual dual boot after that, using GRUB2 as your bootloader. | 16:05 |
| ActionParsnip | reuf: it will give a txt file of the pdf | 16:05 |
| ActionParsnip | reuf: of use google docs :) | 16:05 |
| reuf | i understand | 16:06 |
| reuf | thanks | 16:06 |
| reuf | thanks all | 16:06 |
| kunji | google docs does pdf to text? Like for scanned pdfs, or just the ones that were originally text? | 16:06 |

| fre | ubottu, thanx a lot but here is the thing: I created 3 logical partitions: one ext4 for / one ext4 for /home one swap???? for swap | 16:12 |
| ssfdre38 | GunClive, cause you need to install Gnome or gnome-shell (gnome2 fallback) | 16:12 |

| GunClive | ssfdre38, so its a brand new feature only for gnome shell and not my ubuntu 11.04=? | 16:14 |
| joever | lotuspsychje: should i install adobe flash? but we're talking about fonts in general | 16:14 |
| ssfdre38 | GunClive, gnome2 was removed in 10.10 and replaced with Unity so you will need to do that | 16:14 |
| fre | but if you are interested i can give you the link =) | 16:14 |
| kunji | fre: Ah, well then, do you know how far the install got? Did it seem to complete successfully, or did the installer crash at some point? | 16:14 |
| fre | no it completed successfully | 16:15 |
| ssfdre38 | GunClive, also i would say update as well so you can get the latest gnome-shell and drivers | 16:15 |
| ActionParsnip | ssfdre38: it really wasnt | 16:15 |
| delinquentme | is there a quick start guide for gnome keyring? like i just need to start stuffing passwords into it for things .. not SSH keys .. but just something that will securely store my passwords | 16:15 |
| fre | upon completion i was asked to take the media from cdrom | 16:15 |
| ActionParsnip | ssfdre38: Unity is a shell for Gnome, Unity runs on top of Gnome and simply replaces gnome-panel as the default shell | 16:15 |
| fre | i guess its an equivalent for successfull completion, am i right? | 16:15 |
| GunClive | ssfdre38, thanks. right now i am stuck with fallback, because my gfx card does not work wit gnome shell | 16:16 |
| ActionParsnip | ssfdre38: gnome was never 'removed' | 16:16 |
| kunji | fre: It's possible that you just didn't install GRUB2 (the bootloader) to the right place. So it is still using the windows bootloader. Yeah, sounds like it completed successfully. | 16:16 |

| wilee-nilee | eamon, Any OS is only as safe as the user, ubuntu starts out with a password needed for admin. | 16:22 |

| ActionParsnip | eamon: java is java, so anything affecting java will probably affect ubuntu too | 16:23 |

| adib | that is actual true? i heard it from someone and no one else can confirm it | 16:30 |

| ActionParsnip | TheWarden: did you edit to .hosts file for it? | 17:14 |
| asker | ActionParsnip : you know it isnt solve security problem | 17:15 |
| ActionParsnip | asker: it does as the system will deny access to any other user | 17:15 |
| TheWarden | jacta: try ls /dev/hd* and see if you can see sr0 | 17:15 |
| Uber-Geek | I created a script that runs vlc in daemon mode, if I do a service moh start it runs, but not from rc.local. The file is in the init.d directory and is executable | 17:15 |

| jacta | TheWarden, ls: cannot access /dev/hd*: No such file or directory | 17:15 |

| asker | ikonia : MAYBE | 17:16 |
| ikonia | asker: if you want to remove your user account on failed login, use a tool like fail to ban to monitor the security logs, and instead of the firewall commands, change the commands to remove the user account | 17:16 |
| TheWarden | ActionParsnip: again I ask, why do I need that? That's the help resolve domain names. That's not being used in this case at all. | 17:16 |
| TheWarden | guntbert: no problem, thanks. | 17:16 |
| ActionParsnip | TheWarden: it dictates who can access the vlc service remotely | 17:16 |

| SlutaTramsa | ActionParsnip any idea on my question regarding Volume up/down on my keyboard? (don't mean to bother you..) | 17:17 |
| TheWarden | ActionParsnip: well its interfacing with int remotely locally to a socket and therefore doesn't require resolving domains. | 17:17 |
| ikonia | asker: well, you can't do that as the hard disk will be in use, however you can remove most of it by running an rm -rf as a trigger instead of a firewall | 17:17 |
| ActionParsnip | TheWarden: I'll put it in quotes to make it clearer as you aren't getting it | 17:17 |
| ActionParsnip | TheWarden: did you edit the ".hosts" file | 17:17 |

| ikonia | asker: no, you can't as the file system will still be in use | 17:18 |
| ikonia | asker: look, I've given you a solution that will do what you want. | 17:18 |
| ActionParsnip | TheWarden: if you don't allow your netmask, the only system allowed access is localhost | 17:18 |

| TheWarden | jacta: no I'm here, trying to solve my own issues :-). Ahh, trying mounting it manually "mount /dev/sr0 /media/temp" without double quotes and make sure the mount path exists, "/media/temp".

| TheWarden | jacta: find out the device name of a usb device with certainty. Then try to mount it a simple mount /dev/device_name /mnt/temp should do the trick. As I stated before make sure the mount point /mnt/temp exists before issuing the command. | 17:32 |
| TheWarden | jacta: blkid should list all devices as well | 17:32 |
| jacta | TheWarden, blkid only gives the sr0 :/ | 17:32 |
| Uber-Geek | jrib, it can run via the command line, vlc with the --daemon flag. I can get it to work manually, just not upon bootup | 17:33 |

| TheWarden | jacta: ensure the cables are secured properly. | 17:33 |
| TheWarden | jacta: try doing sudo blkid | 17:33 |
| jrib | Uber-Geek: is there a reason you don't just run it on login? | 17:33 |
| ActionParsnip | TheWarden: if you have the app running at startup, you can control it with the web ui. Is that what you need? | 17:33 |
| jacta | TheWarden, check pm for output :o | 17:33 |
| Uber-Geek | it's a server, I need it to run when the machine powers on | 17:33 |
| TheWarden | jacta: you have a usb hug connected? | 17:34 |
| jacta | TheWarden, only thing right now is the usb pen | 17:34 |
| TheWarden | ActionParsnip: no I stated what I required, I need to use the RC interface module so that I can send commands to control the player, add files to the play list, etc. without human interaction directly. All this is done via scripts. | 17:35 |
| ActionParsnip | TheWarden: oh, thats pretty fancy | 17:35 |
| TheWarden | jacta: mm the reason I as is because the dmsg stated a usb hub and I was wondering if you were hooking a USB hub up and then plugging devinces into that. | 17:35 |
| Uber-Geek | jrib, this server sits in a remote data center, when we reboot the server, I need the vlc to start up automatically without logging in and executing the command manually | 17:36 |
| TheWarden | ActionParsnip: well yes and no but the idea works just getting all these errors and then having it crap out once daily. which the errors is what I'm trying to resolve. | 17:36 |
| jacta | TheWarden, only had mouse/keyboard/pens in it | 17:36 |
| jacta | TheWarden, futhermore, gparted sees it right now as /dev/sdb/ | 17:36 |
| jrib | Uber-Geek: so you have an upstart script you created with this "moh" service? | 17:37 |
| TheWarden | jacta: according to the dmsg you have an ODD HL-DT-ST DVD+-RW GT50N running on SATA. | 17:37 |
| jrib | Uber-Geek: or is this a sys-v style script you created? | 17:37 |
| jacta | TheWarden, must be my cd drive inside it :o | 17:37 |
| Uber-Geek | jrib, I added the init info to it, and made it executable. | 17:38 |
| jrib | Uber-Geek: this is not a clear answer | 17:38 |
| TheWarden | jacta: yeah have you tried different discs? I see the Logitech keyboard and mouse.... mmm | 17:38 |
| jrib | Uber-Geek: maybe just pastebin your script and mention its location | 17:39 |

| SillyTalker | dr_willis: are there any instructions or something? | 17:42 |
| jrib | Uber-Geek: this isn't a proper init script for either upstart or sys-v | 17:43 |
| dr_willis | SillyTalker: you have to somehow kill off unity as you start lxde.. you kill the wrong thing= you get logged out. | 17:43 |
| Uber-Geek | jrib, I'm flying blind here, as there is very little out there for running this sort of thing. | 17:44 |

| === usr is now known as Guest4303 | ||
| jrib | Uber-Geek: if you want to stick with sysv-init for some reason, then you should model your script after /etc/init.d/skeleton. However, ubuntu has moved on to upstart and the scripts are not formatted the same. There's a very good document at http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/ about creating init scripts for upstart. In either case, you should not be attempting to start the init script with commands in | 17:46 |
| jrib | rc.local | 17:46 |
| SillyTalker | dr_willis: i'm not sure, what is this file for? | 17:46 |
| dr_willis | SillyTalker: it dedines your default desktop | 17:46 |

| === Fawaz is now known as Greenline | ||
| SillyTalker | dr_willis: aha, so i i set it to LXDE there i should be fine? | 17:46 |
| Uber-Geek | jrib, I just want it to run, I'm not real picky as to how, so long as it starts on its own. | 17:47 |
| dr_willis | in theory | 17:47 |
| SillyTalker | dr_willis: well i'll try, but i need to copy the image again firs,t where do i find the file please? | 17:47 |
| jrib | Uber-Geek: well ideally, you would use upstart. If you don't care about having it managed and just want to run a command at boot, then just put the command in /etc/rc.local itself | 17:47 |
| dr_willis | SillyTalker: .dmrc is in your home | 17:47 |
| SillyTalker | dr_willis: ok thanks, i'll let you know if it worked | 17:48 |
| jrib | Uber-Geek: you could also use @reboot in crontab. But again, it really is better to manage it with upstart | 17:48 |
| SillyTalker | dr_willis: are you sure it is still supported though? | 17:49 |
| SillyTalker | i can only find old information about it | 17:49 |
| Uber-Geek | jrib, for now, the crontab might work until I get upstart figured out. So @reboot vlc /opt/music/WRRK.m3u --daemon ? | 17:49 |
| dr_willis | SillyTalker: its us3ed by gdm, lightdm and kdm last i looked its on 12.10 system | 17:49 |
| jrib | Uber-Geek: give the full path to vlc | 17:50 |
| dr_willis | it just saves your last selected desktop from lightdm | 17:50 |

| SillyTalker | to put in the file | 17:50 |
| SillyTalker | can't find it on google so far | 17:50 |
| dr_willis | SillyTalker: nope. ask a lubuntu user perhaps | 17:50 |
| Uber-Geek | jrib, ok, I'm getting that set up now. | 17:50 |
| ActionParsnip | SillyTalker: i can pastebin my lubuntu session file if you want | 17:50 |
| SillyTalker | ActionParsnip: sure thanks in advance | 17:51 |
| dr_willis | should be just 1 or 2 lines | 17:51 |
| SillyTalker | is .dmrc referred to as the session file? | 17:51 |
| dr_willis | theres .Xsession and .xinitrc session filesa | 17:52 |
| dr_willis | .dmrc is where the login m anager saves the desktop you selected | 17:52 |
| SillyTalker | so is it not neough to jsut change .dmrc? | 17:52 |
| SillyTalker | enough | 17:53 |

| capribex | Upgraded to 12.04 and lost the encryption of Home folder. First boot everything was fine and Ubuntu asked for the encryption passphrase. But then it stopped asking for the passphrase or in other words canceled the encryption by its own will... How do I reinstate encryption? Why did the system delete it? | 18:24 |
| alpre | otpicnerpe: if you installed grub to sdb, then you just need to set in bios to boot from that hdd first | 18:24 |
| otpicnerpe | alpre, OK. So if I install GRUB on the MBR of sdb, I imagine I would need to configure the BIOS? | 18:24 |

| otpicnerpe | alpre, I mounted /dev/sdb1 and I see grub is already installed there in /boot. So I believe I just need to tell the BIOS to boot from that disk. However, looking at cfdisk for /dev/sdb, I do not see the BOOT flag for /dev/sdb1 where root (and thus /boot) is mounted to. Does this mean I would need to give this partition the boot flag? | 18:36 |
| guntbert | capribex: normally you are not asked for the encryption passphrase every time, it is by itself encrypted with your password and therefore used "automatically" when you log in | 18:36 |
| alpre | servercbe: it could be impossible, the internal card shuts off if you use another | 18:36 |
| servercbe | mmmm....but it works with windows pretty well... so.. this is why I am trying to do the same on ubuntu | 18:37 |
| servercbe | I dont understand why I could be impossible | 18:37 |
| servercbe | could you explain me please... | 18:37 |
| alpre | otpicnerpe: I am not sure about the boot flag, I'd follow the instructions first on ubuntu.help, section 2.2.2 and if it still won't boot change the flag too. Don't forget the bios boot order. | 18:38 |
| capribex | <guntbert>: thanks! finally some insight :-) with the previous versions of ubuntu it asked me every time I booted. note that my log-in password and my encrypted home folder passphrase are different. are you sure it is still, somehow, encrypted and safe? | 18:38 |
| alpre | servercbe: if it works on windows, then I was wrong | 18:38 |
| servercbe | so... any suggestion... | 18:39 |
| guntbert | capribex: how did you creat that homedir encryption? | 18:39 |
| capribex | <guntbert>: about a year ago when installed ubuntu.... a few days ago i run the upgrade to 12.04. worked perfectly and first few boots asked for my passphrase. but then stopped. now when i boot as USER it just asks for the boot password but not for the encrypted directory passphrase. but still gives me access to it.... | 18:41 |
| guntbert | capribex: please look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedHome, scroll down to "Encrypted Home" - does that apply to your situation? | 18:42 |

| SillyTalker | bazhang: ty | 18:44 |
| dr_willis | SillyTalker: why bother.. you that tight on hd space? | 18:44 |
| guntbert | m1chael: wild guess: remove the CD? | 18:44 |
| m1chael | there is no CDs in the drive! | 18:44 |
| SillyTalker | dr_willis: it's a chroot on a sdcard on a android tablet | 18:44 |
| SillyTalker | so yes | 18:44 |
| SillyTalker | lol | 18:44 |
| dr_willis | sounds experimental to me.. ;) my new phone is not rooted yet so i cant do that | 18:46 |
| capribex | sorry guntbert.... i am quiet new to this :-) the link references 9.04. is it valid for the migration to 12.04? either way, i didnt upgrade from a CD but rather from the software updates link... | 18:46 |

| ubottu | francesco_: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 18:56 |

| mehul | i have a windows i5 proccessor n a hp laptop. I am new to ubuntu , i need help with the installation guide. | 19:21 |
| guntbert | capribex: see? encryption works :) | 19:21 |
| mehul | i had downloaded 12.04 both amd and intel installation files | 19:21 |
| dr_willis | francesco_: linux is all about 'layers' and 'legos' ;) little bits making layers with more bits on top | 19:21 |
| capribex | guntbert: this is so strange. so how come i am not asked for the passphrase but still have access to it? | 19:21 |
| dr_willis | mehul: amd64 means its the 64bit version for intel or am d 64 bit cpus | 19:22 |
| dr_willis | mehul: the i386 is the32bit version | 19:22 |
| francesco_ | Silly question. (Forgive me!) Why does Ubuntu use Gnome if it is so "heavy"? | 19:23 |
| mehul | when i use the windows installer, it tries to download again? can this be remidies? | 19:23 |
| GunArm | francesco_: ubuntu uses unity now | 19:23 |
| guntbert | capribex: as I said in the beginning: the actual passphrase is encrypted with your password and used to decrypt the directory when you log in (choice 3 on the page I told you about) | 19:23 |
| GunArm | unless you choose gnome | 19:23 |
| auronandace | francesco_: why not? | 19:23 |
| dr_willis | francesco_: its not that heavy. unity runs well on my low end netbook | 19:23 |
| capribex | guntbert: it means that in order to access the encrypted files, "all" it takes is the admin password and the system ignores the passphrase protecting the encrypted data... isn't it unsafe and defeating the purpose? | 19:24 |
| francesco_ | Perhaps it is not Gnome that is heavy. It is my pc that is slow. | 19:24 |
| GunArm | does anyone use the vnstatphp front end to vnstat? if so any idea why the hours are off by 7 hours? | 19:24 |
| auronandace | francesco_: most likely a combination of both | 19:24 |
| dr_willis | GunArm: i would guess a time zone setting. | 19:25 |
| capribex | guntbert: that is, with the previous version of ubuntu, even after log in i would still need to give the system a different passphrase to make the encrypted files available.... looked safer, no? | 19:25 |
| francesco_ | I should not criticize Ghome perhaps, but if what you tell me is true, and Gnome is "heavier" than LXDE, and with LXDE I can get the same result, I don't understand why they don't use LXDE. | 19:26 |
| guntbert | capribex: it doesn't ignore anything, the decryption is done when you log in - people usually choose a secure password for their account (and you need the password of that account) | 19:26 |
| Eagleman | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Roundcube Is it me or is it way obselete? | 19:26 |
| dr_willis | francesco_: lxde does not have the same feature set | 19:26 |
| GunArm | dr_willis: that was my guess too, (I'm in GMT -6) but I just manaully reset the timezone and no dice, and actually these are the lampp files copied from another server where i originally started having the problem (out of the blue) so maybe the php files got jacked up some how | 19:27 |
| dr_willis | Eagleman: cube and unity does not work well. so id say its been an outdated guide for some time | 19:27 |
| Eagleman | unity? | 19:27 |

| francesco_ | dr_willis, pertinent question: could you explain me again how I install the lxde environment, where I have Ubuntu pre-installed already? | 19:28 |
| Eagleman | dr_willis isnt there a web interface? | 19:29 |
| auronandace | francesco_: sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop | 19:29 |
| dr_willis | francesco_: on the lightdm login screen you select it via the gear icon | 19:29 |
| dr_willis | Eagleman: a web interface to compiz? | 19:29 |
| Eagleman | for roundcube | 19:29 |

| Eagleman | Well there is so i aam a bit confused with you saaying that it isnt compatible with unity | 19:30 |

| Pazzie | let me correct that, if i want to extend my disk, i simply resize the disk in vmware (make it bigger) insteat of adding a new disk | 19:36 |
| dr_willis | Pazzie: i dont use lvm for my media server. i just keep my vids sorted onto similer related disks and share them all | 19:36 |

| Pazzie | okay, well i dont use wireless for streaming so i dont have that challence ;) | 19:48 |

| hmavi | exit | 19:48 |
| Pazzie | i have another question, what size do you recommend for the OS disk? 10GB? | 19:49 |
| Pazzie | more or less? | 19:49 |
| Troy^ | 10gb is pretty small is your /home/ going to be on there as well? | 19:49 |
| OerHeks | hal, a quick scan shows no problems with thegeekstuff url. so firefox has a problem then. | 19:50 |
| Pazzie | yes (i must say i am new to linux) | 19:50 |
| hal | OerHeks: did you open it in firefox? | 19:50 |
| Pazzie | i am a windows server guy normaly | 19:50 |
| Troy^ | Pazzie: this is for a desktop correct? I would definietly allocated double that to an install of ubuntu | 19:50 |
| hal | OerHeks: ubuntu 12.04 and firefox 15.0.1 | 19:50 |
| OerHeks | hal, no, i have no firefox. | 19:50 |
| Pazzie | Troy^: no its for ubuntu server | 19:50 |
| Troy^ | Pazzie: 10gb is fine then really.. | 19:51 |
| hal | OerHeks: ok, thanks for your response. I am hoping for someone to test it in the same versions I have | 19:51 |
| guntbert | Pazzie: see https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/hppa/directory-tree.html | 19:51 |
| guntbert | Pazzie: and https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/i386/directory-tree.html for the current version :) | 19:52 |
| dr_willis | i have filled up 20gb on / befor. i make m ine at least 30gb these days | 19:53 |
| dr_willis | but it was due to tmp space mainly ;) | 19:53 |
| Troy^ | dr_willis: it is a server setup | 19:53 |
| dr_willis | lots of users? using tmp? doing what? | 19:54 |
| SillyTalker | any ideas? | 19:54 |
| SillyTalker | i created .dmrc | 19:54 |
| SillyTalker | dr_willis: i got rid of unity etc, now i just get the X mouse pointer from X11 on a grey background | 19:54 |
| Troy^ | dr_willis: i assume from him that it is going to be basically his personal server | 19:54 |
| === bobbyaldolAFK is now known as bobbyaldol | ||
| dr_willis | SillyTalker: thats about as minimal a desktop as it gets. ;) | 19:55 |
| guntbert | Pazzie: my "personal server" as Troy^ put it has 10 GB, 2 GB used | 19:55 |
| dr_willis | SillyTalker: did you remove lightdm by mistake? | 19:56 |
| adie_ | Hello friends! | 19:56 |
| shwaiil | hi | 19:56 |
| SillyTalker_ | dr_willis: i created .dmrc and got rid of unity | 19:56 |
| Troy^ | guntbert: which makes sense.. right now my server main install and usage is on 2x(80gb) in Raid 1 so i have lots of space | 19:56 |
| Pazzie_ | Troy^: sorry chat hang | 19:56 |
| Pazzie_ | i didnt say what you said to my question | 19:57 |
| Pazzie_ | i want to do the most through the cli, and i have read also something like installing a core desktop... like gnome-core? | 19:57 |
| SillyTalker_ | dr_willis: now it starts but i get a grey screen and the default X mouse pointer of X11 | 19:57 |
| dtcrshr | im strugling for a few weeks now, after the last update on my ubuntu my battery indicator is gone. Is there a way to get it back? | 19:57 |
| dr_willis | SillyTalker: got rid of it how... | 19:57 |
| shwaiil | Im thinking about getting a new laptop with Killer Wireless-N 1102 and intel 520 SSD. Is this compatible with Ubuntu ? I didnt find much info around the web. tks | 19:57 |
| SillyTalker_ | any way i can start lubuntu? | 19:57 |
| Pazzie_ | say = saw ;) | 19:57 |
| SillyTalker_ | i can ssh in | 19:57 |
| dtcrshr | all other indicators are there. clock, im, wireless | 19:57 |
| SillyTalker_ | dr_willis: apt-get remove | 19:57 |
| SillyTalker_ | dr_willis: the line the link bazhang gave earlier | 19:58 |
| SillyTalker_ | dr_willis: first line here: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelubuntu | 19:58 |
| adie_ | I am having an issue with 3d acceleration I think. games flicker black and run really crappy, yet I have the official drivers for my gpu. I dunno what to do >< | 19:58 |
| SillyTalker_ | without the linux-headers parts | 19:58 |
| Pazzie_ | Troy^: still here? | 19:58 |
| Troy^ | Pazzie_: yes | 19:58 |
| guntbert | dtcrshr: goto settings/power settings, there you can select if and when you want the icon to be present | 19:59 |
| Pazzie_ | read my question? | 19:59 |
| Troy^ | ? | 19:59 |
| Pazzie_ | i want to do the most through the cli, and i have read also something like installing a core desktop... like gnome-core? | 19:59 |
| compdoc | shwaiil, should be no problem. Seems that wireless card started being supported in Natty Narwhal (11.04). | 19:59 |
| iNTEl_ | i forgot my password | 19:59 |
| SillyTalker_ | dr_willis: any ideas? | 19:59 |
| Troy^ | Pazzie_: you should be fine but honestly a server is best headless not gui | 20:00 |
| iNTEl_ | is there someone could help me ? | 20:00 |
| iNTEl_ | ? | 20:00 |
| guntbert | !password | iNTEl_ | 20:00 |
| ubottu | iNTEl_: Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords | 20:00 |
| shwaiil | compdoc: thanks :) So if I install the latest Ubuntu, it should work without some extra commands etc ?! | 20:00 |
| MonkeyDust | iNTEl_ the password was 1d10t | 20:00 |
| dr_willis | SillyTalker_: not really with your frakenstine android-ubuntu setup. you hsould of just installed lubuntu into your vm fro m the start perhaps. | 20:00 |
| iNTEl_ | ty monkeydust | 20:00 |
| MonkeyDust | ;) | 20:00 |
| Pazzie_ | thats why i want to do the most through the cli, but i dont know if some things are better to do with the desktop | 20:01 |
| iNTEl_ | that show ur great cooperate | 20:01 |
| Eagleman | Pazzie_ a GUI has way to much limitations and eats space, if you want to run it as a server run it as a server | 20:01 |
| SillyTalker_ | dr_willis: the only thing i need to do now is startlubuntu | 20:01 |
| SillyTalker_ | dr_willis: but it complains there's no display when i do this over ssh of course | 20:01 |
| dr_willis | SillyTalker_: i would guess the lubuntu session is not there. | 20:01 |
| hmavi | help | 20:01 |
| Pazzie_ | point taken Eagleman | 20:01 |
| SillyTalker_ | dr_willis: but lubuntu-desktop is installed | 20:01 |
| dr_willis | SillyTalker_: export your display variable | 20:01 |
| Pazzie_ | :) | 20:01 |
| Eagleman | you will learn it | 20:01 |
| Eagleman | i did and i am still learning it | 20:02 |
| dr_willis | export DISPlAY=localhost:0 | 20:02 |
| Troy^ | Pazzie_: things aren't setup via desktop really for most of the things you're going to be setting up on a server. text editor and cli and it is easiest done through ssh where you have a full desktop | 20:02 |
| SillyTalker_ | dr_willis: how please? | 20:02 |
| SillyTalker_ | dr_willis: ok thanks again :) | 20:02 |
| Eagleman | linux is made for the CLI | 20:02 |
| compdoc | shwaiil, thats hard to say. Sometimes things have to be set up, sometimes not. Ive never done it with your system | 20:02 |
| shwaiil | compdoc: thanks :) | 20:02 |
| Pazzie_ | yes i and its better that way, then your realy learn what your are changing and not just click on something with your mouse ;) | 20:02 |
| SillyTalker_ | dr_willis: cannot open display | 20:03 |
| compdoc | shwaiil, buy another hard drive, and test with that | 20:03 |
| compdoc | if you want to save windows | 20:03 |
| shwaiil | compdoc: I wont use windows, I'm just a lil bit worried, because it's so expensive.... :) | 20:03 |
| Troy^ | Pazzie_: most things aren't really going to let you click on things anythings.. like i said most everything in linux is configure/installed and run via cli specially for a server | 20:03 |
| Troy^ | Pazzie_: specially things that are usually put on a server | 20:04 |
| dr_willis | SillyTalker_: no idea then. id reinstall ubuntu-desktop and see if you can get to a lightdm login screen. or just install lubuntu from the start | 20:04 |
| SillyTalker_ | dr_willis: i can't just install anything but thanks | 20:04 |
| Pazzie_ | yes and what do you guys recommend for a management server, webmin or ebox (has a new name now) | 20:04 |
| Pazzie_ | or maybe something else | 20:04 |
| Troy^ | SillyTalker_: why can't you install anything? | 20:04 |
| guntbert | Pazzie_: just do it from the command line | 20:05 |
| guntbert | !webmin | Pazzie_ | 20:05 |
| ubottu | Pazzie_: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 20:05 |
| dr_willis | SillyTalker_: which is why i mentioned your setup mostly likely is some frankenstein ubuntu variant. ;) | 20:05 |
| Pazzie_ | guntbert: do you also know ebox? | 20:05 |
| SillyTalker_ | dr_willis: no but i dunno why the hell they removed the login screen, maybe because VNC wouldnt work with it or something like that | 20:06 |
| dr_willis | SillyTalker_: ive seen lubuntu on android vm things. that use lubuntu from the beginning | 20:06 |
| SillyTalker_ | thats the only nonstandrd thing really | 20:06 |
| SillyTalker_ | dr_willis: well i didn't find anything | 20:06 |
| SillyTalker_ | Troy^: i'm running a premade image in a chroot on an android device | 20:06 |
| Eagleman | Pazzie_ i wouldt recomend a webgui | 20:06 |
| Nisstyre | For some reason libjpeg62 is not installed as a dependency for racket...yet it requires it to run | 20:06 |
| Nisstyre | bug? | 20:06 |
| guntbert | Pazzie_: I treid it once and removed it almost immediately - not my taste - CLI is better in my opinion | 20:06 |
| guntbert | *tried | 20:06 |
| Eagleman | i''ve been there to, also to much limitations | 20:06 |
| W00D | Hello everyone | 20:07 |

| W00D | I'd like to have tomcat run on port80 | 20:07 |
| W00D | under somthing like this: sub.domain.com | 20:08 |
| Pazzie_ | okay... thnx haha i am going to install ubuntu, 10gb is bigg enough for my OS disk? | 20:08 |
| MonkeyDust | W00D betterstate your issue in one line | 20:08 |
| lanoxx | W00D, just put the domain name into /etc/hosts | 20:08 |
| Eagleman | Pazzie_ it will get larger the more you need ofc, it depends on your needs | 20:08 |
| Troy^ | Pazzie_: yes https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/index.html <-- great guide for getting started with ubuntu server | 20:08 |
| W00D | My issue is that the default webapp dir is /var/lib/tomcat(version)/webapps/ROOT | 20:09 |
| Eagleman | i am on a 60gb ssd and i still got 5 gb of space left | 20:09 |
| SillyTalker_ | dr_willis: i've seen people that use ubuntu1204-v4-small but it doesnt work at all, you cant even start a temrinal on it | 20:09 |
| W00D | Thanks Troy | 20:09 |
| XiaolinDraconis | I'm having trouble with unity quicklists, can't figure out how to get separate profiles in there. | 20:09 |
| W00D | I need tomcat to run on /var/default/sub.domain.com | 20:09 |
| W00D | the only thing I can thing of running iptables and port forward | 20:09 |
| dr_willis | SillyTalker_: if its using vnc you have .vnc/xconfig to define what desktop to use. | 20:10 |
| iNTEl_ | i didn't woked | 20:10 |
| iNTEl_ | am still can't access | 20:10 |

| SillyTalker_ | dr_willis: aha, well i'll look into that, i already deleted the image so.... too late | 20:11 |
| SillyTalker_ | gotta start over | 20:11 |
| dr_willis | SillyTalker_: basically you need to get help/support from the app/image maker. since our advice here assums you are on a normal pc | 20:11 |
| W00D | but if you can PM I would appreciate it | 20:11 |
| iNTEl_ | dr_willis , can u help me ? | 20:11 |

| Pazzie_ | do you guys recommend automatic updates or not? or just security updates? | 20:16 |
| edve | hello ppl | 20:16 |
| XiaolinDraconis | hello | 20:16 |
| Eagleman | How can i see it? | 20:17 |

| Eagleman | dkpg something? | 20:17 |
| edve | im currrently running openbox and actually it is smotth as helll | 20:17 |
| Pazzie_ | Eagleman: | 20:17 |
| wilee-nilee | Pazzie_, I recommend turkish coffe and a scone, but take all updates. | 20:17 |
| XiaolinDraconis | Pazzie_, i use them and sometimes the system does need a restart, not always | 20:17 |
| Eagleman | Pazzie_ linux is made to restart services, actually you never have to reboot | 20:18 |
| rennason | hi | 20:18 |
| Eagleman | Only when ur upgrading the kernel | 20:18 |
| rennason | can you help me? | 20:18 |
| Pazzie_ | Eagleman: so automatic updates then? | 20:18 |
| Eagleman | i never worked with them | 20:18 |
| Eagleman | basicly i log in from time to time and update myself | 20:18 |
| Pazzie_ | what did you used? | 20:18 |
| XiaolinDraconis | rennason, the correct format is, Hi, my problem is. | 20:18 |
| Pazzie_ | aah | 20:18 |
| Eagleman | when you log in you will see there are updates | 20:19 |
| Pazzie_ | thats maybe better | 20:19 |
| rennason | excuse me XiaolinDraconis | 20:19 |

| Eagleman | Pazzie_ this is what you see when you login: http://pastebin.com/MqpBmr4d | 20:20 |
| XiaolinDraconis | rennason, now the question | 20:20 |
| Eagleman | How do i check if i have openssh server installed? | 20:20 |
| Pazzie_ | Eagleman: yes but i dont see anything about the updates,.. or does it only show if there are any | 20:21 |
| MonkeyDust | Eagleman apt-cache policy openssh-server | 20:21 |
| Eagleman | Installed: 1:5.9p1-5ubuntu1 | 20:21 |
| Eagleman | Pazzie_ it will show beneath that text, if there are updates | 20:21 |
| Eagleman | But dont pay to much attention to updates | 20:22 |
| adie | unity freezes unless I start in 2dubuntu, but my gpu shows hardware acceleration and all that good stuff... any ideas on what I should do? | 20:22 |

| Marco99 | hi | 20:27 |
| W00D | Ok | 20:27 |
| iNTEl_ | wilee-nilee , there is a step its changing the user name | 20:28 |
| W00D | Anyone know any good tomcat resources / docs for tomcat7 jklib connector | 20:28 |
| iNTEl_ | should i make it ? | 20:28 |
| greenit | i have a script, which starts and stops a bin-file. this file is executing a java-process... i get the pid of the bin-file, but not of the java-process and i don't want to kill all java-processes... how can i get the pid of the started java-process? | 20:28 |
| wilee-nilee | iNTEl_, as far as all the steps follow the directions would be your only method, you are trying to change the password. | 20:28 |

| AquaVulture | So what can I do to dual-boot? I used a flash drive to try and boot but it doesn't seem to want to work :/. Was trying to create a dual-boot. | 20:28 |
| iNTEl_ | ya i changed it | 20:28 |
| Marco99 | hello | 20:29 |
| iNTEl_ | and the root told me that the pass changed succesfully | 20:29 |
| jrib | Eagleman: this channel is not for support with development versions of ubuntu | 20:29 |
| wilee-nilee | iNTEl_, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword | 20:29 |
| Eagleman | development versions what? | 20:29 |
| W00D | AquaVulter! Look into editing grub | 20:29 |
| Eagleman | I dont even know how to develop lol | 20:30 |
| jrib | Eagleman: never mind, I misread. In any case, you have repository issues you need to sort out first | 20:30 |
| W00D | google: edit grub disk | 20:30 |
| wilee-nilee | AquaVulture, You mean you can't biit the flash? | 20:30 |
| wilee-nilee | boot* | 20:30 |
| Jordan_U | AquaVulture: I would highly recommend doing a normal dual boot install, booting from CD/USB and using Ubuntu's normal installer, rather than using Wubi. | 20:31 |
| Eagleman | i''ve installed some things lately but it is hard to rid of them | 20:31 |
| Eagleman | I will do a clean install soon | 20:31 |
| Eagleman | Thanks anyway | 20:31 |

| XiaolinDraconis | http://pastebin.com/tQeAg1Vs anyone got an idea why this is not working? | 20:33 |
| dr_willis | or was it .local | 20:33 |
| jrib | dr_willis: ~/.config/autostart/ | 20:33 |
| * jrib considers creating a bind (including the dr_willis part) | 20:33 | |

| wilee-nilee | XiaolinDraconis, YOu trying to make a desktop launcher? | 20:34 |
| dr_willis | they need to link it to a dir in home. :) | 20:34 |
| dr_willis | /home/billgates/Autostart ') | 20:35 |
| strombom | it seems like the "startup applicatinos" goes to that dir; .config/autostart, so unfortunately i have already tried | 20:36 |
| strombom | i added "Exec=gksudo /home/ro/src/exhibit_robot" | 20:36 |
| XiaolinDraconis | wilee-nilee, i am trying to make a sidebar quicklist | 20:36 |
| dr_willis | strombom: id say you did it wrong then | 20:36 |
| strombom | and added /home/ro/src/exhibit_robot to the sudoers file (which seems to work) | 20:36 |

| ComputeristGeek | Hello, how can I log someone into an account remotely through command line | 20:39 |
| ComputeristGeek | ? | 20:39 |
| Eagleman | For what do i need the execute permissions in a home folder? | 20:39 |
| auronandace | !ssh | ComputeristGeek | 20:40 |
| ubottu | ComputeristGeek: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 20:40 |
| ComputeristGeek | I know ssh | 20:40 |
| jrib | Eagleman: execute permissions on directories let you "enter" the directory basically | 20:40 |
| wilee-nilee | XiaolinDraconis, This might help overall since you seem to be making your own I assume on unity. http://developer.ubuntu.com/resources/technologies/launcher/ | 20:40 |

| eltigre | the funny thing is when I say mount /dev/sr0 /media/dvd then it says there's no medium in sr0 | 20:44 |
| wilee-nilee | mario_, run a update from the terminal and look for misssing keys | 20:45 |
| mario_ | with apt-get update? | 20:45 |
| wilee-nilee | mario_, yeah with a sudo | 20:45 |
| Nisstyre | eltigre: I'm a bit new to ubuntu, but /dev/dvd /dev/cdrom, etc... are usually symlinks to /dev/sr0 no? | 20:45 |

| lder | hi, i'm trying to install a 10.04 server and it keeps seeing a usb0 device and configuring that. is there a way to disable a network device via boot options? | 20:51 |
| Jordan_U | ohzie: Why do you not want it in the MBR? That's where it *should* go. | 20:52 |
| Pazzie_ | kept | 20:52 |
| marcappuccino | Pazzie_ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 20:52 |
| MsSayian | eltigre im running it on my laptop, and before i updated it was running fine at that resolution | 20:52 |
| ohzie | Jordan_U: I need grub to be secondary, because I'm multibooted and I'm trying to truecrypt my windows system partition. | 20:52 |
| eltigre | MsSayian, xchat's tabcompletion isn't really that great ;-) | 20:52 |
| eltigre | I guess the dvd drive is somehow fried or something | 20:53 |
| wilee-nilee | mario_, might be the server might just be nothing is there new, failed fetches are common, the original notice is a generic one at times. | 20:53 |
| Pazzie_ | marcappuccino: what is the dist- part? distrubution? | 20:53 |
| Nisstyre | Jordan_U: I meant to type sed /wlan/d | 20:53 |
| marcappuccino | Pazzie_ it does not upgr the distro, only the held back parts, dont worry | 20:53 |
| MsSayian | so theres nothing i can do to get my display back to its old setting because im stuck at 1280x760 and i was at 1920x1200 | 20:54 |
| marcappuccino | i assume it stands for distribution though | 20:54 |
| Pazzie_ | marcappuccino: just a question, why are there updates held back? | 20:54 |
| eltigre | Jordan_U, Nisstyre thanks anyway... | 20:54 |
| Nisstyre | eltigre: anyway, did you paste it? | 20:55 |
| MsSayian | eltigre: so theres nothing i can do to get my display back to its old setting because im stuck at 1280x760 and i was at 1920x1200 | 20:55 |
| eltigre | Nisstyre, there is nothing to paste | 20:55 |
| Nisstyre | eltigre: there is _nothing_ related to your disc drive in there? | 20:55 |
| Nisstyre | eltigre: I find that hard to believe | 20:55 |
| marcappuccino | i beleive it has something to do with being too much weight or something for a regular upgrade, update manager includes the new kernels anyway... | 20:55 |
| eltigre | Nisstyre, yes | 20:55 |
| eltigre | Nisstyre, if I grep out the wlan stuff, nothing is left except one crash report on flight gear | 20:56 |
| drag0nius | how can i change ubuntu menus language? | 20:57 |

| drag0nius | ohh i drag em top | 20:58 |
| eltigre | Nisstyre, not completely | 20:58 |
| Jordan_U | ohzie: Truecrypt has a non-Free (and pretty poor) license, and is a pain to install in a *reliable and secure* dual boot fashion. You can use manual partitioning in Ubuntu's installer and it will give you the option to install grub to the PBR of your ext4 partition, but this is unreliable and insecure (with any bootloader). You can also install grub to the MBR and reliably load Truecrypt from grub, but I unfortunately don | 20:58 |
| Jordan_U | ohzie: ... don't have time to explain how to do that at the moment. | 20:58 |
| OerHeks | eltigre, if you installed ubuntu with it, it should be oke. what disc did you insert ? try ubuntu iso | 20:58 |
| Nisstyre | eltigre: well, can you try using the disc drive with another machine? | 20:58 |
| eltigre | Nisstyre, and I don't have access to another pc that would take the drive or another operating system to try it in | 20:59 |
| Nisstyre | ah okay | 20:59 |
| Nisstyre | eltigre: did it work previously? | 20:59 |
| eltigre | OerHeks, the installation was alsmost 2 years ago... I don't remember if I used it since... | 20:59 |
| eltigre | I don't think so though | 20:59 |
| eltigre | oh wait yes I did | 20:59 |
| Nisstyre | eltigre: sounds like it's failing | 20:59 |
| crc32 | what is the package and repository for freetype2 with ubuntu 12.04. I can't seem to find it. | 21:00 |
| eltigre | Nisstyre, yes probably | 21:00 |

| wellwhy | Is anyone available to help installation wise? | 21:18 |
| cc210 | yeah i sent the link for the universal usb he is saying he can not get that to work either | 21:18 |
| wellwhy | I am having a boot problem saying "wubildr.mbr" is missing. But in fact, it is NOT missing, I have it, and it is in C:/ as well. I have tried a USB and easy windows partition install. I have an HP Pavilion desktop | 21:19 |

| tamatar | bustacap, was just having a look at the gedit lang spec docs, turns out it's a fairly simple XML format. If you have the time/motivation you could convert the vim file to a gedit syntax file. http://developer.gnome.org/gtksourceview/stable/lang-tutorial.html | 21:22 |

| OerHeks | wellwhy, wubi install .. hard to support. | 21:22 |
| wellwhy | what do you mean? | 21:22 |
| wellwhy | is there a way to install ubuntu that isnt wubi? I am a linux newbie | 21:23 |
| wellwhy | maybe something else can do the job | 21:23 |
| Nisstyre | wellwhy: yes, you can boot from a CD, DVD, usb drive, etc.. | 21:24 |
| cc210 | >wellwhy did you install it inside windows | 21:24 |
| DJRWolf | I put a dvd in my optical drive and I don't see it on my drive list, am I missing a step here? | 21:24 |
| wellwhy | I have installed it inside windows yes | 21:24 |
| goddard | who needs netflix when you have amazon prime | 21:24 |
| wellwhy | And I have done it on a USB | 21:24 |
| wellwhy | Both have given the same problem | 21:24 |
| Nisstyre | DJRWolf: you have to change the boot priority in your BIOS settings | 21:24 |
| jrib | wellwhy: wubi installs ubuntu to a file in windows. You can choose to instead install ubuntu to its own partition | 21:24 |
| Nisstyre | er | 21:24 |
| Nisstyre | wellwhy | 21:24 |
| wellwhy | YEs | 21:24 |
| Nisstyre | not DJRWolf | 21:24 |
| wellwhy | I have used wubi to install to a usb, is this not correct? | 21:25 |
| XiaolinDraconis | i installed my Ubuntu via usb, went to pendrive linux from windows and installed ubuntu to a thumb drive booted that and then installed from there | 21:25 |
| cc210 | try booting from the disk or usb then you can either install it along side windows or replace windows | 21:25 |
| wellwhy | I have also tried putting an iso on the usb | 21:25 |
| DJRWolf | Nisstyre not to boot from, trying to get Civ4 on PlayOnLinux and I don't see the disk/drive for my optical | 21:25 |
| wellwhy | I boot with the usb but it says the file is missing | 21:25 |
| Nisstyre | DJRWolf: yeah, my bad, I meant to highlight wellwhy, not you | 21:25 |
| wellwhy | or goes into this weird code loop | 21:26 |
| DJRWolf | Nisstyre ok | 21:26 |
| XiaolinDraconis | wellwhy, what method did you use to get it on usb | 21:26 |
| Nisstyre | wellwhy: I suspect you just put the .iso file on the usb drive | 21:26 |
| wellwhy | I have tried using an ISO to install it, just put the iso in | 21:26 |
| Nisstyre | wellwhy: that won't work | 21:26 |
| === Guest4303 is now known as storks | ||
| wellwhy | And using easy windows install | 21:26 |
| wellwhy | But Im guessing that wont work either | 21:26 |
| wellwhy | for it uses wubi | 21:26 |
| Nisstyre | wellwhy: use a program such as unetbootin to create a bootable usb drive | 21:26 |
| wellwhy | what should i do if I use easy windows install in windows but it still continues to give me the wubildr.mbr error? | 21:27 |
| cc210 | http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ use this set bios to boot from usb then but into live disk | 21:27 |
| XiaolinDraconis | wellwhy, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ | 21:27 |
| XiaolinDraconis | lols | 21:27 |
| wellwhy | alright ill try that | 21:27 |
| wellwhy | wait, will unetbootin just make the ubuntu file in my flashdrive? Because that is what I have | 21:28 |
| === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 | ||
| wellwhy | then it goes into others but its a wubi based install, is wubi only for windows, not USB? | 21:28 |
| cc210 | unetbootin sucks with windows for some reason | 21:28 |
| IdleOne | wellwhy: correct | 21:28 |

| d00durk00l | I have a large file 3.2gb that I wish to send to a friend (I don't have a addy to send it to via snailmail). I am looking to scp a file to him but he is using a Win7 box.. I was thinking of using winspc but I don't want to setup a server that he can access all of my files.. What is the easyiest way to do this so I can just send him the file and he can't access anything else without screwing around with permission or opening a new | 21:30 |

| Kamilion_ | This is driving me nuts -- i've been trying to debug a cron job for over an hour -- it's a oneliner shellscript that runs something else and appends to a log -- but somehow when run from cron it doesn't work at all, nothing is getting appended | 21:30 |
| Nisstyre | d00durk00l: you can setup sftp such that only one directory is accessible no? | 21:30 |
| Steve^ | Kamilion_, what directory is it running in? | 21:30 |
| Kamilion_ | i can see in /var/log/syslog that it's trying to execute the command | 21:30 |
| d00durk00l | true... | 21:31 |
| Kamilion_ | Steve^: crontab -e from a user, script is in ~/powerwatch/power_mgr.sh, trying to write to ~/powerwatch/power_mgr.log | 21:31 |
| d00durk00l | I have just never done that | 21:31 |
| Nisstyre | d00durk00l: so just do that | 21:31 |
| IdleOne | d00durk00l: have them connect to irc and DCC it to them. You could also use teamviewer | 21:31 |
| Kamilion_ | the path is hardcoded in crontab -e | 21:31 |
| Steve^ | Kamilion_, any ~ in the crontab? they can cause issues | 21:31 |
| Nisstyre | d00durk00l: google gives me this: http://superuser.com/questions/443640/whats-missing-from-my-sftp-chroot-setup | 21:31 |
| Kamilion_ | IE, not using the ~ shortcut, but specifying /home/kamilion/powerwatch/powermgr.sh | 21:32 |
| DJRWolf | I put a dvd in my optical drive and I don't see it on my drive list, am I missing a step here?? | 21:32 |
| korridor | hello;) who can help me? | 21:32 |
| Steve^ | Kamilion_, I assume something simple like "date >> ~/logs/foo" would work? | 21:32 |
| Nisstyre | d00durk00l: also http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1922395 | 21:32 |
| ska | Does "dpkg-statoveride --remove command" restore the command to its original status? | 21:32 |
| wellwhy | Just ask your question korridor | 21:32 |
| Kamilion_ | Steve^: That's pretty much what it's doing >.< | 21:32 |
| Steve^ | Kamilion_, also, don't forget some nice >> my.log 2>> my.err | 21:33 |

| Kamilion_ | i have: * * * * * /home/kamilion/power_mgr.sh 2>&1 >> /home/kamilion/power_mgr.log | 21:34 |
| Kamilion_ | erk | 21:34 |
| d00durk00l | IdleOne: I was thinking that orginally .. | 21:34 |
| d00durk00l | Nisstyre: Thanks | 21:34 |
| Kamilion_ | i have: * * * * * /home/kamilion/powerwatch/power_mgr.sh 2>&1 >> /home/kamilion/powerwatch/power_mgr.log | 21:34 |
| XiaolinDraconis | http://askubuntu.com/q/186730/89012 | 21:34 |
| drag0nius | got ubuntu 12.04 with propertiary drivers installed before | 21:34 |
| MsSayian | eltigre, i fixed my problem. I did have an output but whatver update package did to my display it took off my nvidia driver. so I had to reinstall via additional drivers | 21:34 |
| Kamilion_ | when i run the script manually it works fine | 21:35 |
| Steve^ | Kamilion_, and does * * * * * date 2>&1 >> /home/kamilion/powerwatch/power_mgr.log do anything? | 21:35 |
| Kamilion_ | i can move the power_mgr.sh script, as it's just a 2 line wrapper around powerquery.sh | 21:35 |
| Kamilion_ | that is also supposed to be doing a 2>&1 logfile | 21:36 |
| Kamilion_ | trying | 21:36 |
| jrib | Kamilion_: and a newline to the end of your crontab, pastebin your script | 21:36 |
| jrib | Kamilion_: s/and/add | 21:36 |
| Kamilion_ | there's four newlines at the end | 21:36 |
| Steve^ | Since formatting is likely your issue, trying the simple things is a good step | 21:36 |
| Kamilion_ | I already hit stack overflow for this | 21:36 |
| Steve^ | oo, karma, where? ;) | 21:36 |
| jrib | Kamilion_: how did you edit the crontab and whose crontab is it? | 21:37 |
| Kamilion_ | crontab -e | 21:37 |
| Kamilion_ | mine | 21:37 |
| jrib | Kamilion_: "mine" is too vague | 21:37 |
| Kamilion_ | kamilion | 21:37 |
| jrib | Kamilion_: pastebin the script | 21:37 |
| Kamilion_ | ergh, sec, lemme get on webirc from there. | 21:37 |
| Kamilion_ | oops, can't | 21:37 |
| Kamilion_ | airgap on that machine | 21:37 |
| Kamilion_ | no network allowed, so no pastie | 21:38 |

| d00durk00l | chrooting means what? Changing root directory? | 21:38 |
| * Steve^ wants a photo ;) | 21:38 | |
| jrib | Kamilion_: also, try Steve^'s date suggestion. What version of ubuntu is this? | 21:38 |
| Nisstyre | d00durk00l: more or less | 21:38 |
| Kamilion_ | 12.04.1 | 21:38 |
| Kamilion_ | it was working in 11.04 | 21:38 |
| Kamilion_ | rather | 21:38 |
| Kamilion_ | it works fine on another identcal unit that was not updated to 12.04 | 21:39 |
| Kamilion_ | which is why it's really throwing me for a loop | 21:39 |
| d00durk00l | so by chroot for a sftp user is what will be there first directory when connecting therefore changing the directory to what I want correct? | 21:39 |
| Nisstyre | d00durk00l: it's useful for doing stuff like fixing your OS from a live cd | 21:39 |
| d00durk00l | okay how would that be useful sorry for the ignorance | 21:40 |
| Nisstyre | some distros require you to chroot in first, like Gentoo | 21:40 |
| jrib | Kamilion_: you're determining that it's not working fine because there is no output to the .log file? | 21:40 |
| korridor | guys) who use 'proxycheck'? console application for cheking proxy (socks/http etc) i don't understand how does it work :( | 21:40 |
| Kamilion_ | jrib: no output in *THREE* logfiles. | 21:40 |
| Nisstyre | d00durk00l: it's hard to explain, sometimes you want your environment to act as if the root directory is somewhere new | 21:40 |
| jrib | Kamilion_: which 3? | 21:40 |
| Kamilion_ | cron.log is blank, 0 bytes, and the two others only show when I manually run the script | 21:40 |
| Steve^ | I care more about the *ONE* log file that is specified in 2>&1 | 21:40 |
| === jesseC is now known as Guest82082 | ||
| Kamilion_ | jrib: the three I'm trying to write to -- one in the powerquery.sh, one in power_mgr.sh, and one from the crontab itself :< | 21:41 |
| Guest82082 | !help | 21:41 |
| jrib | Kamilion_: do you happen to be using encrypted home directories? | 21:41 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 21:41 |
| d00durk00l | so your able to boot up to another so that you can repair the real root? | 21:41 |
| Nisstyre | d00durk00l: something like that, yes | 21:41 |
| Kamilion_ | jrib: nope | 21:41 |
| d00durk00l | Nisstyre: So why would a distro require you to do this on bootup? | 21:41 |
| Nisstyre | d00durk00l: anyway, people sometimes use it as a security thing too | 21:42 |
| Steve^ | Kamilion_, does the date thing work? | 21:42 |
| d00durk00l | Nisstyre: Sorry just want to understand | 21:42 |
| Nisstyre | d00durk00l: on install | 21:42 |
| Nisstyre | not on every boot | 21:42 |
| d00durk00l | oh kk | 21:42 |
| Nisstyre | d00durk00l: some distros have a much more "hands on" install procedure | 21:42 |
| Kamilion_ | steve, i keep walking over there to try, but get highlighted on IRC >.< | 21:42 |
| Nisstyre | :P | 21:42 |
| Steve^ | Kamilion_, and check chmod | 21:42 |
| d00durk00l | Nisstyre: Yeah I used to use slackware about 5 years ago | 21:42 |
| Kamilion_ | check chmod for what? They're +x. | 21:43 |
| extropy | Hey, there's like droidbuntu now right? | 21:43 |
| Kamilion_ | yes, the date line works | 21:43 |
| Nisstyre | d00durk00l: anyway, in the context of your problem, what you want to do is chroot your friend when they access your sftp server, so that they can only access files under that root | 21:43 |
| d00durk00l | Does anyone know if pidgeon has a size limitation for file transfers? | 21:43 |
| extropy | armbuntu? | 21:44 |
| Steve^ | Kamilion_, so cron is fine, your script either is not executing or does not print anything | 21:44 |
| XiaolinDraconis | http://askubuntu.com/q/186730/89012 | 21:44 |
| Kamilion_ | it does when it's run manually. | 21:44 |
| extropy | gsmbunutu? lol | 21:44 |
| gordonjcp | d00durk00l: probably | 21:44 |
| d00durk00l | Nisstyre: Actually using that on bootup as a security mechanism is a good idea.. I will have to look into that | 21:44 |
| * jrib predicts a PATH issue | 21:44 | |
| Nisstyre | d00durk00l: er, that's not what I was getting at | 21:44 |
| Steve^ | so if you take the line from cron, and remove "* * * * * " and run, it works? | 21:44 |
| d00durk00l | Are the connections with pidgeon through a server or direct? | 21:45 |
| Kamilion_ | grr, okay, f--k cron then, I'll just rewrite a do while loop and add it to rc.local >.< | 21:45 |
| gordonjcp | d00durk00l: I reckon you could get a 32GB micro SD card on a leg tag though, and a pigeon could carry that | 21:45 |
| Kamilion_ | Wasting too much time debugging this in the field. | 21:45 |
| Nisstyre | d00durk00l: that depends on the protocol... | 21:45 |
| Kamilion_ | Steve: yessir, it does | 21:45 |
| Nisstyre | d00durk00l: pidgin uses libpurple, which supports many protocols | 21:45 |
| jrib | Kamilion_: if you pastebin the script, it would be helpful | 21:45 |
| d00durk00l | I don't like the idea of running a server... | 21:45 |
| Steve^ | Kamilion_, then jrib's PATH suggestion is a good one | 21:45 |
| Nisstyre | d00durk00l: then use the IP over Avian protocol like gordonjcp suggested | 21:46 |
| d00durk00l | If I can avoid it I would.. Is there any protocols that would support that size of a file and diret not through a proxy? | 21:46 |
| Nisstyre | :P | 21:46 |
| arosen1 | Hi, i'm unable to get sound though my headphones though I can hear static if i turn the volume up high. | 21:46 |
| Steve^ | arosen1, static would be normal | 21:46 |
| arosen1 | Any ideas how to debug this? I've gone though alsamixer but nothing makes sound come out. | 21:46 |
| d00durk00l | I don't have a addy to send it too | 21:46 |
| Nisstyre | arosen1: that doesn't necessarily mean anything | 21:46 |
| d00durk00l | I have to send it through the net | 21:47 |
| d00durk00l | :( | 21:47 |
| Nisstyre | arosen1: if they're connected to an amp then there would be static, it doesn't mean the soundcard is producing it | 21:47 |
| arosen1 | I have youtube open and vlc playing stuff. | 21:47 |
| Steve^ | arosen1, is this a problem right from when you turn the computer on? | 21:47 |
| d00durk00l | I was going to try to use a torrent but that sucked | 21:47 |
| Nisstyre | arosen1: are all your channels unmuted? | 21:47 |
| arosen1 | Steve^: the head phones plug into the sound card on the computer. | 21:47 |
| Nisstyre | more than one soundcard? | 21:47 |
| arosen1 | Nisstyre: no | 21:48 |
| arosen1 | noe are. | 21:48 |
| arosen1 | none* | 21:48 |
| Steve^ | arosen1, I mean, right after you turn the computer on, do you have sound? Or does it dissappear later? | 21:48 |
| arosen1 | in alsamixed i went though and confirmed hitting 'm' | 21:48 |
| arosen1 | Steve^: I think doesn't work from the start. | 21:48 |
| Nisstyre | arosen1: wait | 21:48 |
| Nisstyre | arosen1: so you want _no_ sound? | 21:49 |
| arosen1 | No i want sound | 21:49 |
| Nisstyre | arosen1: then why are you muting things? | 21:49 |
| arosen1 | oh sorry i meant to ensure nothing is multed. | 21:49 |
| arosen1 | muted* | 21:49 |
| Nisstyre | okay | 21:49 |
| arosen1 | Nisstyre: i have everything marked as green at the bottom in alsamixer | 21:50 |
| Nisstyre | arosen1: next step is to tell us your chipset | 21:50 |
| Nisstyre | lspci should have that information | 21:50 |
| Nisstyre | arosen1: it will be something like "05:01.0 Multimedia audio controller: C-Media Electronics Inc CM8738 (rev 10)" | 21:50 |
| Nisstyre | except different depending on your chipset manufacturer | 21:50 |

| Kamilion_ | and a picture is worth 30,000 words in this case... hahahaha | 21:54 |
| Nisstyre | arosen1: are you _sure_ you only have the one soundcard? | 21:54 |
| arosen1 | Nisstyre: yes | 21:54 |
| Nisstyre | arosen1: okay, well, there's some info on google. I'm not sure what your specific issue is. | 21:54 |
| Kamilion_ | and stupid qwebirc has decided it no longer wishes to scroll automatically. Wow. Today's a bad day for me. | 21:56 |
| Steve^ | Kamilion_, next step would be to make a shell script called ~/date.sh, crontab of "* * * * * ./date.sh 2>&1 >> ~/logs/datelog2" and contents of "!/bin/bash<NEWLINE>date" | 21:57 |
| * Kamilion_ copies that into notepad++ to retype on the airgap'd machine | 21:57 | |

| nino | hey, this might be an odd question, but...: anyone knows where i can talk with someone about old paintings? I found an old one and like to date it. | 22:02 |
| jrib | Kamilion_: haha what on earth am I looking at | 22:02 |
| DOokami | hello guys, who can help me out with some IRC basics ? | 22:02 |
| Kamilion_ | https://www.dropbox.com/s/l750isi2aq5kkyv/2012-09-11%2017.46.13.jpg | 22:02 |
| Steve^ | Kamilion_, I am going to imagine you are Jack Bauer, trying to defuse a suitcase bomb by monitoring the power output frequncies | 22:02 |
| Kamilion_ | jrib: NDA. | 22:02 |
| goddard | nino: your grandmother? | 22:02 |
| Guest17524 | wow this chanel is very bad,... is boring | 22:02 |
| Kamilion_ | let's just say there's a big battery and an ubuntu machine inside. | 22:02 |
| goddard | Guest17524: your bad! | 22:02 |
| nino | goddard, she is dead. | 22:02 |
| Kamilion_ | and it does stuff in meatspace that I'm not supposed to be talking about | 22:03 |
| goddard | nino: some one elses grandmother | 22:03 |
| BluesKaj_ | gues wanna chit chat , go to ubuntu-offtopic | 22:03 |
| BluesKaj_ | Guest17524,^ | 22:03 |
| Guest17524 | they are supposed to do this channel? help? | 22:03 |
| nino | goddard, seriously, i think this painting has some value ( very old i guess ) | 22:03 |
| MonkeyDust | Guest17524 type /join #ubuntu-offtopic | 22:03 |
| goddard | Guest17524: some one already answered your question | 22:03 |
| jrib | Kamilion_: skynet... great. (But the text is not readable in your picture) | 22:03 |
| DOokami | guys who knows where i can find a channel about android ? | 22:03 |
| Guest17524 | ok... bye guys, so bad | 22:03 |
| goddard | Guest17524: so either try the DE out or stop saying the same thing over and over | 22:04 |
| Steve^ | bye Juan | 22:04 |
| Kamilion_ | Either way -- what it does is orthogonal to the problem I'm trying to solve; a simple shellscript to keep an eye on the stupid battery voltage | 22:04 |
| goddard | nino: We talk about computers not ART | 22:04 |
| Kamilion_ | Argh, keep forgetting, I put ICS on my tmobile G2 and it still doesn't support the camera at full resolution | 22:04 |
| jrib | Kamilion_: are you sure it's not an issue with your PATH? The PATH in crontab is not the same as the PATH you get when you log in | 22:04 |
| nino | goddard, rly? damn im a geek like u, just asking if you know a goddamn ART channel ;) | 22:04 |
| goddard | nino: freenode is the best place to do that my friend | 22:05 |
| === mimor_ is now known as mimor | ||
| DOokami | umm .. | 22:05 |
| Steve^ | what I can say is, there is not freaking way you're getting that on a plane. | 22:05 |
| jrib | Kamilion_: make the font size huge :) | 22:05 |
| Kamilion_ | jrib: ... hmmm... okay, well, then lemme try something. *sticks echo $PATH in place of 'date'* | 22:05 |
| arosen1 | BluesKaj_: cool trying that now. (mines a pci one too) | 22:05 |
| nino | goddard, never got in touch with art, except tweeking the colors of my shell. what am i supposed to do? | 22:05 |
| Kamilion_ | Steve^: It's been on four planes in the last five days | 22:05 |
| Steve^ | jrib, Kamilion_ well it must be a PATH problem from inside the script? As the cron line is an absolute path? | 22:06 |
| DOokami | guys do you read me ? | 22:06 |
| Kamilion_ | Steve^: I'm from california, two planes to arkansas, another to georgia. | 22:06 |
| Steve^ | Kamilion_, TSA needs to do better checking of suitcases then | 22:06 |
| goddard | nino: its obvious if you want to just chit chat do it in offtopic | 22:06 |
| jrib | DOokami: roger | 22:06 |
| Kamilion_ | Steve^: they checked it right in front of me. Four of them. Real interested in it. | 22:06 |
| Kamilion_ | but they just swabbed it for explosives and let me go through. | 22:07 |
| === jungejas_ is now known as jungejason | ||
| * Kamilion_ shrugs | 22:07 | |
| DOokami | jrib: thanks | 22:07 |
| Steve^ | Kamilion_, I guessed you passed the "No terrorist is this stupid" test ;) | 22:07 |
| nino | goddard, ok - should have gone to the debian channel in the first place. i assume these guys are more mature. | 22:07 |
| tarwich1 | Can anyone tell me how to keep a tty from falling asleep? | 22:07 |
| Kamilion_ | Stupid airline won't let us use big lithium batteries... they took them away at the first airport | 22:07 |
| arosen1 | BluesKaj_: i have something playing and i ccan see the line move up and down in pavucontrol but still no output. | 22:07 |
| tarwich1 | tty2 is sleeping when inactive. | 22:07 |
| Kamilion_ | So we bought some heavy ass lead acids and they havn't given us any shit since | 22:07 |
| goddard | nino: that makes no sense which = nonsense | 22:08 |
| nino | goddard, whatever | 22:08 |
| jrib | tarwich1: see the various options to setterm (blank, powersave, powerdown), maybe | 22:08 |
| arosen1 | BluesKaj_: On Output Devices: Port I only have Digial Output S/PDIF | 22:08 |
| arosen1 | I think that' the issue. | 22:08 |
| Kamilion_ | the lithium batteries were 7 pounds... the lead acid is about 40lbs -- and the whole rig as is, is just under 49 lbs, right under the 50lbs airline limit. :) | 22:08 |
| arosen1 | I'm just trying to use the green hole not the fiber one. | 22:09 |
| tarwich1 | setterm -powersave off gives me setterm: cannot (un)set powersave mode: Invalid argument | 22:09 |
| Kamilion_ | and yeah -- I'm a skinny white engineer with a NASA badge | 22:09 |
| Kamilion_ | I think that kind of trumps the TSA badge, lmfao | 22:09 |
| WeThePeople | this is a ubuntu support channel | 22:09 |
| WeThePeople | keep it that way | 22:09 |
| Kamilion_ | anyway, back on topic | 22:09 |
| Steve^ | Kamilion_, ok, so I'm looking for a hotel within a 20 minute drive of Atlanta, with green carpets. Skirting boards are also carpeted, which ups the budget a little bit | 22:09 |
| Steve^ | Kamilion_, East facing window | 22:10 |
| Kamilion_ | why is this path different when it's the user's own crontab? | 22:10 |
| Kamilion_ | i would expect a different $PATH from /etc/crontab | 22:10 |
| Kamilion_ | but not from a user's crontab -e | 22:10 |
| jrib | Kamilion_: because cron | 22:10 |
| Steve^ | Kamilion_, I imagine it won't run bashrc or bash_whatevertheotheroneiscalled | 22:10 |
| Kamilion_ | which stack overflow described as 'don't use /etc/crontab or apt will overwrite it!' where 'will' meant 'may' | 22:10 |
| tarwich1 | jrex: Thanks. I ran setterm -powersave off and it gave me "cannot (un)set powersave mode", which google says is because I'm running the desktop gui in another tab. | 22:11 |
| drag0nius-tv | how do i integrade Periscope with nautilus? | 22:11 |
| Kamilion_ | WeThePeople: Can I scroll an ascii middle finger? Is *that* on topic? Man, the people who mouth off to IRC Opers are just unreal. :< | 22:11 |
| drag0nius-tv | i've installed it along with placing that python script for nautilus but nothing changed | 22:11 |
| Kamilion_ | anyway, going to a while loop. Thanks Steve and jrib. | 22:12 |
| WeThePeople | sure go for it | 22:12 |
| jrib | let's try to stay civil please | 22:12 |
| Kamilion|2 | Ahhh, a real IRC client. | 22:13 |
| Kamilion|2 | nobody would want to trust qwebirc to oper against, lmfao | 22:14 |
| jrib | Kamilion|2: just do "echo $PATH" as your user and then define the PATH at the top of your crontab | 22:14 |
| Kamilion|2 | jrib: any idea why the path is so different? | 22:14 |
| Kamilion|2 | oh -- let me guess... my ~profile isn't getting run? | 22:15 |
| Steve^ | I swear I said that... | 22:15 |
| Steve^ | :) | 22:15 |
| Kamilion|2 | yeah, that fixed it. >.< | 22:15 |
| Kamilion|2 | "source /home/kamilion/profile" | 22:15 |
| Kamilion|2 | er, there's a dot in there too. | 22:16 |
| Kamilion|2 | Thanks Steve^/jrib! | 22:16 |
| Steve^ | no worries | 22:17 |
| Steve^ | see you in the hotel bar | 22:17 |
| cidness | i am trying to mkdir(which i have done a million times) but everytime i hit enter i get a '>' with a flashing cursor. i can type, nothing happens, and i have to ctrl+c to get out of it. | 22:17 |
| jrib | cidness: pastebin your full command and the full output | 22:17 |
| Steve^ | cidness, '? | 22:17 |
| cidness | jrib: ok,,, wont be much | 22:18 |
| drag0nius-tv | where would i put nautilus context menu extension written in python? | 22:19 |
| black_13 | how do i get grub to boot a second linux install that is on another disk? | 22:20 |
| zykotick9 | black_13: try "sudo update-grub" and see if it get automatically added | 22:20 |
| Kamilion|2 | Steve^: Hamilton inn doesn't have a bar -- but The Rusty Nail around the corner's a great dive bar. | 22:20 |
| Kamilion|2 | if you're nearby; I'd be happy to buy you a round for the help. | 22:21 |
| Steve^ | Kamilion|2, i'm in London, UK, so no thanks :) - just trying to be stalkerish | 22:21 |
| cidness | jrib: it hangs at the '>_' and wont pastebin. the folder has a ' eg: I'm | 22:22 |
| goddard | anyone know why amazon wont play any videos | 22:22 |
| cidness | Steve^: yea, you got issues? | 22:22 |
| jrib | cidness: hit ctrl-c and you should get a new prompt, then use your mouse to copy and paste | 22:22 |
| Steve^ | cidness, you shouldn't make a folder with ' in it, the bash prompt will look for a matching ' later on | 22:23 |
| Steve^ | cidness, though you can do the following, if you want $ mkdir "i'm here" | 22:24 |
| res22 | I have ubuntu 12.04 installed but grub-install -v says version 0.97, how do I install grub 2? | 22:24 |
| zykotick9 | cidness: ' in a folder/filename seems silly to me. but use "mkdir this\'s\ really\ what\ I\ want" type thing | 22:24 |
| cidness | http://pastebin.com/xJxiGCaH | 22:25 |
| cidness | as far as having the '... just trying to use propper grammer, i can leave it out if thats the issue | 22:25 |
| Steve^ | cidness, ok then yea, escape the ' or wrap the whole thing in "" | 22:25 |
| Steve^ | cidness, you would also encounter issues with ! and other special grammar characters | 22:26 |
| res22 | never mind, apt-get install grub-pc | 22:26 |
| Steve^ | cidness, oh, the "" helps with the space problem too | 22:26 |
| cidness | thanks for the school guys. much appreciated. | 22:27 |
| cidness | what is the >_ promt though? thats interesting | 22:28 |
| zykotick9 | cidness: incomplete command, waiting for you to finish it. | 22:28 |

| leonas | hey guys. can anyone help me with setting default runlevels for ubuntu? I'm a bit confused by the upstart/sysv duo | 22:37 |
| zykotick9 | !runlevels | leonas | 22:37 |
| ubottu | leonas: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 22:37 |
| neo_ | I need some help with a BCM4311, I have the files the help guides and forums say i need but to no avail, i have a dell latitude D520 ubuntu 12.04 | 22:37 |

| leonas | zykotick9 no I jjust want to make sure a certain service starts all the time. | 22:38 |

| OerHeks | neo_, after install, did you reboot? | 22:40 |
| leonas | zykotick9 for reelz? :P I want to add "unatended-upgrades" (but any service will do) to the boot level. | 22:40 |
| === Dad_ is now known as Guest44073 | ||
| neo_ | yeah | 22:40 |
| leonas | !upstart | 22:41 |
| ubottu | Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 22:41 |
| Kims_pc | never mind i can sync contact with thunderbird through google | 22:41 |
| zykotick9 | leonas: sorry man, i have no idea. good luck. /methinks unattended upgrades are also silly admining ;) | 22:41 |
| Kims_pc | and calendar it seems | 22:41 |
| Kims_pc | later | 22:41 |
| OerHeks | neo_, you installed the STA driver ?? >>> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 22:41 |
| leonas | zykotick9 depends on what you want the unnatended upgrades for | 22:41 |
| neo_ | the STA driver was already installed, i was told i was supposed to disable it and then install firmware-b43-installer | 22:42 |
| hilo | hello Ubuntu! | 22:42 |
| zykotick9 | leonas: not to me. i think knowing what gets upgraded and when, and controlling that process - is essential for a functional/stable-system. YMMV | 22:42 |
| OerHeks | neo_, follow that ubuntu page, you really need the STA driver, AFAIK | 22:42 |
| neo_ | alright i will thanks | 22:43 |
| tryingUbuntu | Everytime I go to hibernate or sleep my computer will NOT connect to the Internet when I log back in,,,, Is there a fix for this?? | 22:43 |
| leonas | zykotick9 unless it's something you want to put next to a television and never hear from again until there is a problem. as I said, depends on the use case. for my computers os I wouldn't use ubuntu in the first place | 22:43 |

| todd__ | hilo, check out http://www.category5.tv/episodes/230.php | 22:56 |
| MagiC3PO | kesavan, ask a question, get an answer! | 22:56 |
| Kamilion|2 | MagiC3PO: This may or may not help; i just took a glance at it. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1284786 | 22:57 |
| tryingUbuntu | MagiC3P0 Sounds like management to me, if you don't know the answer it must be my laptop..hahahaha Windows works just fine... yea, my dog ate it.. | 22:58 |
| Kamilion|2 | hilo: it should be noted; last time i was doing this was before virtualbox 4.x -- YMMV with more modern versions. | 22:58 |
| kesavan | my pc resolution is 1280*768 but i have only 1024*768 | 22:58 |
| Kamilion|2 | tryingUbuntu: try mint -- it's an ubuntu derived disc that may help. | 22:58 |
| silverslimer | kesavan: what graphics chipset are you using? | 22:58 |
| hilo | Kamilion|2: appreciate it | 22:58 |
| hilo | todd__: thanks, watching | 22:58 |
| MagiC3PO | Kamilion|2, I don't seem to have the AMD Catalyst control center... | 22:58 |
| kesavan | defult asus mother bord graphic | 22:58 |
| MagiC3PO | kesavan, check under System Settings | 22:59 |
| MagiC3PO | Then Additional Drivers | 22:59 |
| silverslimer | kesavan: and how old is this computer? | 22:59 |
| Kamilion|2 | MagiC3PO: TBH, I got sick of fglrx and went back to the OSS drivers for most of my older radeons -- i tend to game on my newer nvidia 470 equipped system now, and the OSS driver was fine for anything but that. | 22:59 |
| kesavan | 3yr | 23:00 |
| Kamilion|2 | kesavan: Do you have an AMD based system or an Intel based system? | 23:00 |
| MagiC3PO | Kamilion|2, I found the included one slow | 23:00 |
| kesavan | amd | 23:00 |
| zykotick9 | kesavan: in a terminal "lspci | grep -i vga" | 23:00 |
| MagiC3PO | And I kinda want to do Minecraft on this computer | 23:00 |
| Kamilion|2 | kesavan: it's likely a AMD 780G or 880G then. | 23:00 |
| Kamilion|2 | MagiC3PO: ahh -- minecraft works for me on the OSS driver -- it's just slow. I'd recommend patching it with optifine. | 23:01 |
| wellwhy | I have Gnome Shell 3.4, and I have installed Gnome-Tweak-Tool, and User Theme Extension, but under the theme tab the theme box is greyed out so I cannot select my theme! What do I do? | 23:01 |
| MagiC3PO | Kamilion|2, I have Windows 7 Pro 64-bit on this computer, but I'd like to use Ubuntu | 23:01 |
| Noobuntu | hii , I am not able to get synclient monitor working on Precise. Any help ould be appreicated. | 23:01 |
| Kamilion|2 | MagiC3PO: the minecraft forums can help you figure that out -- optifine basically splits the render/network into two threads, so the network chunking can't lag the rendering. | 23:01 |
| MagiC3PO | Since I need to boost my Linux knowledge some | 23:01 |
| MagiC3PO | I use Optifine on my laptop at home. With Intel 945 GM Graphics | 23:02 |
| MagiC3PO | NOT designed for MC :P | 23:02 |
| Kamilion|2 | indeed. TBH, I'd say stick to the FGLRX that ubuntu offers you. | 23:02 |
| Noobuntu | synclient monitor works on Precise? | 23:02 |
| Kamilion|2 | i've really found no paticular reason to try to upgrade to a driver that's only a few months newer | 23:03 |
| wellwhy | Anyone able to help with Gnome Shell/Themes? | 23:03 |
| kesavan | athlon | 23:03 |
| Kamilion|2 | MagiC3PO: ohh-- also, keep in mind that AMD will be dropping support for the 2X00 series of Radeon HDs with the most current few driver releases. | 23:03 |
| Noobuntu | wellwhy: install gnome shell extensions, user extensions and gnoe tweak tool | 23:03 |

| Kamilion|2 | wellwhy: have you searched google and stackoverflow network for the answer first? | 23:05 |
| MagiC3PO | Since I must reboot for changes to take effect. | 23:05 |
| wellwhy | I have, and I have no idea how to fix it | 23:06 |
| wellwhy | I have tried many commands | 23:06 |
| Kamilion|2 | What is it that you're attempting to accomplish? | 23:06 |
| Magiobiwan | Derp | 23:06 |
| wellwhy | But it is greyed out with an exclamation point where the theme dropdown | 23:06 |
| Kamilion|2 | changing an existing theme, installing a new theme... ? | 23:06 |
| wellwhy | I am trying to apply a gnome shell theme | 23:06 |
| Magiobiwan | Phone still Connected | 23:06 |
| Magiobiwan | Silly magi. | 23:06 |
| kesavan | how c an i fix my resolution problem | 23:06 |
| Noobuntu | wellwhy: make sure you are using the gnome 3.x desktop and not unity to begin with | 23:06 |
| wellwhy | But there is no way to do this because the area is greyed out with an exclamation oint | 23:06 |
| wellwhy | That is currently being ran | 23:06 |
| wellwhy | 3.4 Gnome shell | 23:07 |
| Noobuntu | aand also ensure you have some shell themes downloaded and placed in the correct location | 23:07 |
| Kamilion|2 | kesavan: change your xorg.conf to limit your maximum resolution, comes to mind. OR connect a monitor that supports the higher resolution, select 800x600, and Make Default. Then plug in your smaller monitor. | 23:07 |
| wellwhy | That is the problem. Where do I place it> | 23:07 |
| wellwhy | It is currently on my desktop | 23:07 |
| Noobuntu | /usr/share/.themes or ~/.themes | 23:07 |
| Kamilion|2 | wellwhy: sorry -- not sure. I use gnome-fallback/gnome-shell/whatever-it-is-that-looks-like-10.04-in-12.04.1 | 23:08 |
| kesavan | how can i get 128*768 | 23:08 |
| maca | Hello. I have a doubt with efax-gtk. Can I send files to a fax number phone eth or wlan trough as device? It could work? | 23:08 |
| kesavan | How get 1280*768 | 23:08 |
| Kamilion|2 | kesavan: you'll have to create a modeline for a custom resolution like that. Normally it should be 1280x720, not 1280x768. | 23:08 |
| Noobuntu | is synclient monitor working for anyone on Precise? | 23:08 |
| Kamilion|2 | kesavan: it's more common to see 1366x768 | 23:08 |
| wellwhy | I cant seem to find a .theme | 23:09 |
| dr_willis | wellwhy: make the directory if you want it.. | 23:09 |
| Noobuntu | create a folder by that name | 23:09 |
| Kamilion|2 | kesavan: however, if your monitor is truly 1280x768, it should advertise that in it's EDID | 23:09 |
| wellwhy | Alright | 23:09 |
| dr_willis | and its .themes | 23:09 |
| kesavan | how cteat it ? | 23:09 |
| wellwhy | It seems to say I have an error when putting it in | 23:09 |
| dr_willis | same as you make any other directgory/folder | 23:09 |
| dr_willis | mkdir directorynme | 23:10 |
| wellwhy | Have I not supposed to put it in Themes, and .themes? | 23:10 |
| dr_willis | Themse go in .themes | 23:10 |
| Kamilion|2 | kesavan: googleing 'ubuntu custom resolution xorg.conf 1280x768' | 23:10 |
| dr_willis | Case matters in linux. | 23:10 |
| wellwhy | Can they go in Themes? | 23:10 |
| wellwhy | Because that is the only theme related folder I have | 23:10 |
| Noobuntu | wellwhy: please follow exactly what dr_willis is telling you | 23:10 |
| Noobuntu | go to your home folder | 23:11 |
| Noobuntu | and type 'mkdir .themes' | 23:11 |
| dr_willis | note the . that makes it a hidden directory | 23:11 |
| Kamilion|2 | kesavan: perhaps this, first entry from said google search, might assist. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1730277 | 23:11 |
| dr_willis | they go in .themes NOT Themes not THEMES not ThEmeS | 23:11 |
| dr_willis | ;) | 23:11 |
| wellwhy | It cant seem to find .themes | 23:11 |
| Kamilion|2 | wellwhy: try hitting Ctrl-H to show hidden files/folders | 23:11 |
| Kamilion|2 | wellwhy: I'm assuming you're using nautilus or whatever | 23:12 |
| wellwhy | Not the slightest idea what that is | 23:12 |
| Kamilion|2 | the file browser window thingy | 23:12 |
| Noobuntu | is synclient monitor working for anyone on Precise? | 23:12 |
| wellwhy | it is called File | 23:12 |
| wellwhy | Or files | 23:13 |
| Kamilion|2 | Noobuntu: Seems to work here on my netbook. | 23:13 |
| Noobuntu | Kamilion|2: did you have to tweak anything to get it working? | 23:13 |
| Noobuntu | the list mode seems to work | 23:13 |
| wellwhy | where did you find the .themes folder in the netbook? | 23:13 |
| Noobuntu | monitor doesnt | 23:14 |
| kenalex | hello | 23:14 |
| Kamilion|2 | Noobuntu: just the normal SHMConfig bs for synaptics, but I did that ages ago. | 23:14 |
| kenalex | do any of you guys run ubuntu on a ssd ? | 23:14 |
| Kamilion|2 | Noobuntu: I had to use 'synclient -m 100' | 23:14 |
| Kamilion|2 | kenalex: yes | 23:14 |
| Noobuntu | I read that synclient doesnt need SHMConfig anymore | 23:15 |
| Kamilion|2 | i run it on about... *counts* 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 machines. | 23:15 |
| kenalex | Kamilion|2:is it significantly faster than running it on a hard drive | 23:15 |
| wellwhy | I just dont seem to have a .themes file | 23:15 |
| wellwhy | I guess I will create one in share? | 23:15 |
| Kamilion|2 | kenalex: depends on the SSD you buy. The cheap $40 one in my netbook only does 80MB/sec, when the hard disk will do about 96MB/sec. The expensive one in the server does 600MB/sec. | 23:16 |
| kenalex | ok | 23:16 |
| Kamilion|2 | it also depends on what you're doing -- databases benefit the most from SSD | 23:16 |
| shwaill | For wireless on a laptop what's more compatible on Ubuntu ? Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N 6235 or Killer Wireless-N 1102 ? | 23:16 |
| shwaill | Tks | 23:16 |
| silverslimer | my ssd does about 500mb/s | 23:16 |
| silverslimer | :) | 23:16 |
| Kamilion|2 | shwaill: the killer wireless runs linux internally. | 23:16 |
| kenalex | silverslimer: what ssd do you have ? | 23:17 |
| shwaill | Kamilion|2: so, I shouldn't be worried about it, should work fine with ubuntu ? Thanks for looking | 23:17 |
| Kamilion|2 | shwaill: should be possible to SSH/telnet into your Killer adapter. | 23:17 |
| === THEJOLLYGRIMREAP is now known as thejollygrimreap | ||
| silverslimer | kenalex: linux detects it as being a kingston, i don't remember the brand itself. i just remember it was the fastest 120gb i could het | 23:17 |
| silverslimer | get | 23:17 |
| shwaill | Kamilion|2: I'm getting a new laptop so, I'm just trying to be sure I get something compatible, a little bit worried :S | 23:17 |
| wellwhy | Is there a way to get rid of a Permission Denied error when moving a file? | 23:17 |
| Kamilion|2 | shwaill: as far as I know, the checksum offload and bunch of other stuff works fine on linux, but I don't have the 1102 -- I have the Killer NIC. (pci express desktop gigabit card) | 23:17 |
| Kamilion|2 | wellwhy: sudo | 23:18 |
| Kamilion|2 | wellwhy: or chown/chmod | 23:18 |
| wellwhy | I dont understand..? | 23:18 |
| Kamilion|2 | kenalex: I'd recommend looking for one with the Sandforce controllers. | 23:18 |
| wellwhy | I type sudo into a terminal? | 23:18 |
| wellwhy | Im trying to move my folder into another but it says access denied | 23:19 |
| Kamilion|2 | wellwhy: you either don't own the file or don't have the proper permissions set. Either sudo to root and do the operation that way, or chown the file to the proper user, or chmod the permissions properly | 23:19 |
| silverslimer | terminal -> sudo mv [folder] | 23:19 |
| wellwhy | so how do I move a file using the terminal? | 23:19 |
| silverslimer | for instance sudo mv porn /home/loser/hidden/ | 23:19 |
| Kamilion|2 | sudo chown username.groupname file | 23:19 |
| wellwhy | oh | 23:19 |
| dr_willis | !terminal > wellwhy | 23:19 |
| ubottu | wellwhy, please see my private message | 23:19 |
| Kamilion|2 | ie, I would 'sudo chown kamilion.kamilion myawesomefile' | 23:20 |
| === cesar is now known as Guest47097 | ||
| Kamilion|2 | or chown -R kamilion.kamilion myawesomedirectory/ | 23:20 |
| Noobuntu | wellwhy: type "sudo nautilus" ina terminal and move your file to wherever in that window | 23:20 |
| shwaill | I'm a little bit worried about purchasing this laptop. I've asked some questions so far here in the room and looks fine, but just to make sure I'll leave the config on a pastie if someone don't mind having a look http://pastie.org/private/j1gentwaiud82k2x4vvhuw thank you! :D | 23:20 |
| dr_willis | its well worth the effort to spend an hr or so reading some bash basics guides | 23:20 |
| Kamilion|2 | you can use "ls -al" to see who owns the file and what permissions are on it. | 23:20 |
| dr_willis | use 'gksudo GUIAPP' not sudo. | 23:20 |
| Noobuntu | sudo works just as well right? | 23:21 |
| Kamilion|2 | shwaill: clevo whitebox from avadirect.com? They work great. Try the Sagers as well -- they're just branded Clevos. | 23:21 |
| Kamilion|2 | shwaill: also, RAM is cheap -- if it'll take 32GB, load it with it. | 23:22 |
| shwaill | Kamilion|2: I'm in London, getting from a local store. I wanted a desktop, but I need the mobility, hope not to regret it | 23:22 |
| wellwhy | Well, now the Advanced system settings will not open, should I relog? | 23:22 |
| silverslimer | 8 gb of ram is way more than enough | 23:22 |
| Kamilion|2 | shwaill: RAM == ~20,000 - 40,000 MB/sec and linux will try it's best to fill all that 'empty ram' with disk cache. | 23:22 |
| shwaill | Kamilion|2: 16 gb shouldn't be enough ?! | 23:23 |
| dr_willis | Noobuntu: No.. use gksudo for gui apps or else you can run into problems | 23:23 |
| Kamilion|2 | SSD == 600MB/sec. Which do you think is more performant for the $? | 23:23 |
| shwaill | I see | 23:23 |
| Kamilion|2 | $60 extra for another 16GB or $300 extra for a big SSD? ;) | 23:23 |
| shwaill | I see your point | 23:23 |
| Noobuntu | dr_willis: thanks for the tip, although I have never noticed any difference between the two to be honest :) | 23:23 |
| Kamilion|2 | shwaill: I call it the poor man's SSD now that 8/16GB sticks have gotten so cheap. | 23:24 |
| dr_willis | Noobuntu: often when people cant login or change some setting.. its due to sudo nautilus messing with their configs and making them owned by root. | 23:24 |
| Kamilion|2 | and the magic of tmpfs makes everything yummy. | 23:24 |
| Noobuntu | dr_willis: ohh ok | 23:24 |
| shwaill | what's the best and fastest Ubuntu version ? | 23:25 |
| dr_willis | shwaill: totally depends on your needs. | 23:26 |
| dr_willis | 'lightest' = Lubuntu | 23:26 |
| shwaill | Web Development, 3d graphics | 23:26 |
| dr_willis | then xubuntu, then perhaps kubuntu then ubuntu from a 'system resources' need | 23:26 |
| dr_willis | shwaill: any of them will do for that stuff | 23:27 |
| silverslimer | ubuntu is worth trying though. unity seems like crap at first but once you stick to it, it becomes awesome. | 23:27 |
| kevin | hey all. is there a command i can use that will replace all symbolic links with the file they are actually linked to? | 23:27 |
| shwaill | Blender 3d. I also use VM for win and running sony vegas (at least that's what I'm thinking) | 23:27 |
| shwaill | dr_willis: thanks :) | 23:27 |
| Noobuntu | i personally like gnome 3 | 23:27 |
| dr_willis | Unity is gainign some neat features with each new release | 23:27 |
| Kamilion|2 | i don't mind gtk3 -- but I dislike the unity crap they stuck us with. | 23:27 |
| silverslimer | noobuntu: i used to as well ... but a lot of the things that unity does right aren't well executed in gnome 3 | 23:27 |
| shwaill | silverslimer: I've got ubuntu running in my pc, I think it's the previous version before unity | 23:27 |
| silverslimer | mind you i love gnome 3 as well | 23:27 |
| Noobuntu | i think its pretty awesome thatt u can customize the hell out of it using plain javascript | 23:27 |
| Kamilion|2 | that would be useful if I knew javascript instead of python. | 23:28 |
| Kamilion|2 | But I'm a sysadmin, not a webmonkey, sooooooo | 23:28 |
| silverslimer | i love how going to the top-left in gnome 3 is your one way to do everything | 23:28 |
| silverslimer | works well | 23:28 |
| Noobuntu | i am a die hard javascript fan | 23:28 |
| kevin | nm, guess i can do it with find | 23:28 |
| dr_willis | id rahter it do it with Python . ;) but thats not how it is.. | 23:28 |
| Kamilion|2 | silverslimer: yeah -- if you have a mouse. It's REALLY REALLY annoying when you're on a touchpad that you can't modify the acceleration values for. | 23:28 |
| Noobuntu | there are limits to what you can do with unity as far as customization goes I guess | 23:29 |
| Kamilion|2 | especally for something like IRC where you're constantly clicking at the bottom of the window to focus the input field. | 23:29 |
| Noobuntu | but maybe I dont know enough :) | 23:29 |
| Jordan_U | Kamilion|2: Why can't you modify the accelleration values? | 23:29 |
| jamesfrank | #ubuntu-ops | 23:30 |
| Kamilion|2 | Jordan_U: I um,... er... use a motorola lapdock with some HDMI adapters to connect to my desktop... | 23:30 |
| Kamilion|2 | I don't have the space for a full keyboard/mouse/monitor workstation :< | 23:30 |
| dr_willis | Noobuntu: i find that a GOOD thing in some cases. | 23:31 |
| silverslimer | Kamilion|2, i used it on a touchpad. it wasn't bad at all | 23:31 |
| Kamilion|2 | Jordan_U: http://liliputing.com/2012/06/turn-a-raspberry-pi-into-laptop-with-a-70-motorola-lapdock.html | 23:31 |
| Kamilion|2 | silverslimer: it's only annoying when the cursor drags really slowly | 23:31 |
| Kamilion|2 | Jordan_U: works on anything with an HDMI port | 23:31 |
| Noobuntu | dr_willis: If i liked my choices restricted, I d be using windows :) | 23:32 |
| Noobuntu | Kamilion|2: you can modify the acceleration values | 23:32 |
| Noobuntu | I use a touchpad myself | 23:32 |
| silverslimer | if i wanted to use gnome 3's shell in ubutnu rather than unity, it's just a matter of installing gnome-shell right? | 23:32 |
| dr_willis | Noobuntu: i spend way to much time UNDOING customaziations various idiots ^h^h^h^h people have done on differnt devices/pcs/os's | 23:32 |
| tambu | Hey all, I have an old install and was doing upgrade to 11 and then to 12.04 however after reboot on 12.04 I can't get the xorg to come up.. I think it's a driver issue. from what I've read I need to be on 12.10 (w/ kernel) for a fix.. problem is I only have ssh access.. Can I do an ubuntu upgrade to 12.10 from console? | 23:32 |
| dr_willis | ;) | 23:32 |
| Noobuntu | silverslimmer: yes | 23:32 |
| Kamilion|2 | Noobuntu: sadly, not this one. It presents itself as a USB mouse -- not a synaptics/tptouch touchpad. | 23:32 |
| silverslimer | good .. is the ubuntu software center seen in ubuntu's gnome 3 iteration? | 23:33 |
| Kamilion|2 | IE, cursor+left/right click only. No multitouch, no two finger scrolling, no side-bar/top-bar scrolling, etc etc etc | 23:33 |
| i7c | silverslimer: you mean if you can access it? | 23:33 |
| hashem | silverslimer, it's just an application, so you can still open it | 23:33 |
| Noobuntu | Kamilion|2: ohh - wonder why thats happening.. I assume you have installed the latest synaptics driver and not using the default one that comes with the installation | 23:34 |
| silverslimer | ahh, nice then. i guess i'll have to keep using unity for a bit to see if i still prefer gnome. unity is pretty nice admittedly. | 23:34 |
| OerHeks | tambu, sure, do a development upgrade > do-release-upgrade -d | 23:34 |
| Kamilion|2 | Noobuntu: I believe it is because it's supposed to be connecting to a Motorola Atrix android phone -- which only supports USB mice, not external touchpads with kernel module / evdev drivers like synaptics | 23:34 |
| dr_willis | silverslimer: check out the list of indicator-applets and quicklists at the askubuntu.com site | 23:34 |
| tambu | OerHeks: hrm I tried it with the -d and it comes back with "No new release found" | 23:35 |

| juliancho | someone has installed eden eternal on ubuntu | 23:36 |
| juliancho | ? | 23:36 |
| Kamilion|2 | Noobuntu: IIRC the Atrix was one of the last of the Gingerbread phones, and a lot of gingerbread phones don't even have USB on the go support in their chipsets... Some do but have it disabled; others (like motorola) have patched Gingerbread to support it. | 23:36 |
| Noobuntu | Kamilion|2: I see | 23:36 |
| Kamilion|2 | Most of the Cyanogen derived images support it -- but rooting/flashing your phone isn't something the average person does. | 23:36 |

| Kamilion|2 | Let alone with a vendor provided accessory. :) | 23:37 |
| juliancho | someone has installed eden eternal on ubuntu ? | 23:37 |
| tambu | trism just to check can I safely do the upgrade from an SSH console? or do I need to boot into a recovery console? not sure if it updates ssh server during the upgrade might break something | 23:37 |
| Kamilion|2 | daemongpl: probably an issue with fair airtime, or the device has an 802.11B wireless adapter and is forcing everything down to 11mbit max | 23:37 |
| trism | tambu: you can upgrade over ssh, it usually isn't an issue | 23:38 |
| Kamilion|2 | daemongpl: most 802.11N access points will degrade back to B or G speeds if there is even a single non N or non G device in the area. | 23:38 |
| daemongpl | Kamilion|2, gonna try N only AP settings to see if that clears it up | 23:38 |
| Kamilion|2 | daemongpl: also -- try 40Mhz channels if you have support for it on both sides. | 23:39 |
| tambu | trism thx for the url I got the release-upgrades fixed.. here go nothing :) | 23:39 |
| OerHeks | tambu, else you can boot in recovery mode, hold shift at boot | 23:39 |

| tambu | OerHeks: nope blank/black screen.. same as on non-recovery boot.. the server loads as far as I can tell which is why I think it's a video driver issue | 23:45 |
| tambu | OerHeks: does holding shift "show the grub menu" or do I keep holding shift after i pick recovery? | 23:46 |
| wellwhy | Can someone help with Gnome Themes | 23:47 |
| b3ef | Anyone setup jabberd2 before? | 23:47 |
| OerHeks | tambu strange, go back to normal boot, use SSH to enter your install, and maybe the server-upgrade part on this page works, http://ubuntulife.net/upgrade-to-ubuntu-12-10-from-ubuntu-12-04/ >> sudo apt-get install update-manager-core >> Edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades file and set Prompt=normal >>Now Launch the Ubuntu upgrade tool with the fallowing command: sudo do-release-upgrade -d | 23:48 |
| tambu | OerHeks: ok thx | 23:48 |
| drecute | Kamilion|2: maybe you have better keywords than I do | 23:49 |
| wellwhy | Anyone able to help with Gnome? | 23:49 |
| Noobuntu | wellwhy: please paste the contents of ~/.themes folder here | 23:51 |

| b3ef | I'm trying to setup a Jabber server on Ubuntu Server 12.04. When I connect with Pidgin I get 'Invalid response from server'. | 23:52 |
| b3ef | The error only occurs when authentication passes. If I use a bad username and/or password, I get a message saying authentication failed. | 23:52 |

| wellwhy | All are folder | 23:53 |
| Noobuntu | Are any of these shell themes? I don't think so | 23:53 |
| Kamilion|2 | drecute: "ubuntu 12.04 activemq" was my query ;) | 23:53 |
| wellwhy | Not even sure. | 23:53 |
| wellwhy | The folder doesnt have a period in front either | 23:53 |
| Noobuntu | download something like "London Smoke" | 23:53 |
| wellwhy | Im not sure if that is bad | 23:53 |
| Kamilion|2 | GunArm: kill off mysqld, then wait until apt has finished up, then dpkg-reconfigure mysql | 23:54 |
| drecute | Kamilion|2: i did not install from apt | 23:54 |
| zykotick9 | b3ef: i'd try ##jabber perhaps... good luck. | 23:54 |
| drecute | i install 5.6 manually | 23:54 |
| b3ef | zykotick9, I asked in there too. Very few people, so I asked here. | 23:54 |
| wellwhy | Should I put it in the folder | 23:54 |
| drecute | will remove and install from apt | 23:54 |
| Kamilion|2 | drecute: no idea. do other java applications work? | 23:54 |
| drecute | yup | 23:55 |
| Noobuntu | yes, put it in the .themes folder | 23:55 |
| zykotick9 | b3ef: i haven't run a jabber server in years, so i'm no help - sorry. | 23:55 |
| b3ef | no worries | 23:55 |
| Kamilion|2 | drecute: are you sure it's not a stupid issue with openjdk 6 / 7 or requires SUN java 6 or some other idiot requirement like that? | 23:55 |
| b3ef | thank you regardless | 23:55 |
| Kamilion|2 | IE, minecraft shits bricks on openjdk, and runs fine on sun java. | 23:55 |
| Kamilion|2 | err s/shits/shat/ | 23:56 |
| wellwhy | Alright Noobuntu it is inside the folder | 23:56 |
| Noobuntu | restart your gnome tweak tool and see if its enabled | 23:56 |
| wellwhy | Alright | 23:56 |
| drecute | Kamilion|2: i'm installing from apt now | 23:57 |
| drecute | hoping things work right | 23:57 |
| wellwhy | It is still greyed out with an orange exclamation point and I cant find London Smoke anywhere | 23:58 |
| wellwhy | Also it may be a problem that I have to turn off User Theme Extensions in the website every time to open it up | 23:58 |
| wellwhy | Then turn it back on | 23:58 |
| Noobuntu | what website? | 23:58 |
| wellwhy | https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/19/user-themes/ | 23:59 |
| wellwhy | this was the only way to get the extension | 23:59 |
| wellwhy | using terminal and sudo-apt-get | 23:59 |
| wellwhy | wouldnt work | 23:59 |
| Noobuntu | its sudo apt-get | 23:59 |
| Noobuntu | it should have worked | 23:59 |
