I currently have my ubuntu on another HD and want to boot from it and have windows 7 as the default after 10 seconds. I can boot into win 7 if I set it to from the bios. If i set it to boot from by ubuntu HD, it will boot win 7. However, and this is where the problem is, if I boot into ubuntu and restart and try to boot into win 7, I get an error. To boot back into win 7 I have to change it in the [00:38] bios [00:39] ok [00:39] Someone tell me wtf this latest update push for ubuntu did to my grub dual boot? [00:39] thanks [00:39] The error is "no such device: ################" - "invalid signature." - "press and key to continue..." [00:40] Anyone else have the same problem? Latest update earlier today bypasses grub? [00:40] lol themaddrizzle is having a problem with his grub and dual boot as well. is it the same as mine? [00:41] Is there software available anywhere that is capable of network analysis / tone generation in software? [00:41] poz: You just update today?

[00:42] I auto updated and it said some new lts version? And now my grub menu wont pop up [00:42] oh i see [00:43] I have a problem with my dual boot and grub. I currently have my ubuntu on another HD and want to boot from it and have windows 7 as the default after 10 seconds. I can boot into win 7 if I set it to from the bios. If i set it to boot from by ubuntu HD, it will boot win 7. However, and this is where the problem is, if I boot into ubuntu and restart and try to boot into win 7, I get an error. To boot back into win 7 I have to change it in the [00:43] bios. The error is "no such device: ################" - "invalid signature." - "press and key to continue..." [00:43] So you're trying to boot from ubuntu hdd, but win7 is on another disk and thats what you want to load? [00:44] poz: AHCI issue with the HDD im guessing? [00:44] are you having to switch back and forth from AHCI to LEGACY? [00:44] what is AHCI? and yes [00:44] codemonkey +1 good analyse [00:45] I am not sure what AHCI and LEGACY is [00:45] poz: you most likely have a config issue with grub not taking notes from your bios setup. did you install ubuntu under the AHCI settings or the LEGACY. (LEGACY im guessing) [00:46] What ever the default is. I never came across any option for that [00:46] I am using grub customizer though [00:47] hmm which one? === Onixs_ is now known as Onixs [00:48] I dont know, it is called Grub Customizer [00:48] Grub Customizer 3.0.2 [00:48] "Grub Customizer is a graphical interface to configure the grub2/burg settings" [00:48] poz: perhaps it does not matter, that is unless you want to parse for the AHCI hook in the kernel. it may be better to use a cannon to kill the mosquito and reinstall ubuntu with the AHCI setting set. [00:49] codemonkey, i think reinstall windows ( legacy/ide > AHCI) ubuntu does not start in IDE mode. [00:50] What is AHCI? that option never came up when I was installing ubuntu [00:50] oh boy [00:50] poz: OerHeks may be right. I dont know if Grub or lilo parse the bios for that setting. [00:51] what do you mean? [00:51] No, you need to set it manually. [00:51] poz: LMGTFY: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Host_Controller_Interface [00:51] poz, what do you need to change in order to boot windows? [00:51] I need to boot from the HD that windows is installed on [00:52] poz, not in grub? [00:52] this is my first time using irc; do I just ask my question, or wait until the current one is answered? [00:52] poz: so your not dual booted, your hdd swapping for the changes? [00:52] no [00:52] *os change [00:52] Pockets, , just ask [00:52] Pockets, ask away! [00:52] thanks [00:52] However, if I change it to boot from the drive with ubuntu on it, grub works and I can boot into windows 7 [00:53] I am trying to use Kobo Desktop ereader on Ubuntu 12.04. I have it properly installed, (it is not available from a repository, but downloaded from the kobo developers) and must be run through the terminal. However, when I run it, I get the error"error while loading shared libraries: libicuuc.s0.44: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory" [00:53] poz, buggered mbr on the windows drive. [00:53] how do I get the required library? [00:53] But if I boot into ubuntu like I am in right now and restart, somthing changes that causes an error when trying to boot into windows 7 [00:53] poz, what is the error? [00:54] The error is "no such device: ################" - "invalid signature." - "press and key to continue..." [00:54] I have searched the web for ~ an hour but found nothing [00:54] there are a bunch of number and such, i just did not type them all out [00:54] poz, grub pointing to the wrong drive location perhaps? [00:54] I think so [00:55] poz, grub has got the uuid of ur drive wrong [00:55] So i need to adjust it to the correct one. how can I find the location for that? [00:55] Pockets, is libzip1 installed ? [00:56] Pockets: try installing one or both of the following. [00:56] libicu44-dbg - International Components for Unicode [00:56] libicu44 - International Components for Unicode [00:56] yes [00:56] looks like dependency hell [00:56] thanks [00:56] Pockets, 32 bit ?

[00:57] yes, 32bits [00:57] Pockets, there is a deb [00:57] Any suggestions? [00:57] Pockets: dont know if it will help but instead of installing packages with apt-get try using aptitude, its a little more intelligent on resolving conflicts. Unless installing from source...

[02:15] AND.... ubuntu does not like beiing installed on NTFS..,. but probably will kinda work. === brenden1 is now known as brenden1`away [02:15] bjrohan: apt-get install update ; apt-get install -f that cleans most problems afaik [02:15] my wine was installing Steam.exe but crashed mid way through. now steam is partly installed but i cannot find it in the remove list in vineyard [02:15] jtsmith... [02:15] Jerry: I'm guessing it's been made to work, or they wouldn't have a windows installer option on the front page of the website? [02:16] ... [02:16] My goal is to have ubuntu installed on my SSD and my /home on a software RAID (LVM) spanning my two 2TB drives. Do I need to set up the /home mount during the install, or is it relatively straight forward to move my /home onto another drive after install? [02:16] its so you can try it out and get used to it..... [02:17] I know a lot of people that have theirs running on NTFS having used a recent 'wubi' type installer. [02:17] Thank you [02:17] Linix was not intended to actually be ran from a NTFS partition. [02:17] do you have a second spare drive? [02:17] codemonkey http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/ticket/1981#comment:5 [02:18] codemonkey [ERROR ] 01:17:15 autoadd:80 Unable to auto add torrent due to improper filename encoding: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 2: ordinal not in range(128) [02:18] ??? floodbot dont go . [02:18] examancer: moving /home is easy if you are not afraid of working on the console [02:18] jerry: I am not really an expert, but I don't think the partition is my problem. [02:19] examancer: Otherwise, configure the LVM from the Live CD even before installing [02:19] mmoebius: when you say console are you talking mostly /etc/fstab stuff or is there more to it? [02:19] aristidesfl: does it happen to all torrents or just magnet links? [02:19] examancer: Well, you need to copy all /home/user from the old location to the new one [02:19] codemonkey never tried with magnets [02:19] have you proven it iyet. i can only make sugestions.... and i think there might be a log somewhere about what might be happening during crash. [02:20] and you might want ot check your drivers. [02:20] codemonkey it happens with .torrents files [02:20] I think if the partition was the problem, I would have had issues with the installer as well. It boots up just fine, and everything runs great. About 10-30 seconds after loading desktop however it powers down my machine. [02:20] codemonkey which have non-ascii characters [02:20] examancer: so, you create your md RAID, pv, vg, lv and mount it somewhere [02:20] codemonkey my env http://paste.ubuntu.com/1201728/ [02:21] examancer: then you mv /home/* /mountoint-of-new-home-fs [02:21] mmoebius: sure, that i can do. so just cp the entire /home/me directory. would i copy /home/me to /media/whatever-the-drive-is/me then? [02:21] then I export AC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8, restart deluge, but still the same problem [02:21] aristidesfl: try just using magnet links. make sure you are connecting to the trackers via a ssh socks proxy like https://www.torproject.org/ and for the love of pete, (or wendy) use magnet links. .torrent files are a sure bet to get you put on a list, then just wait for tpp [02:21] ... are you sure.. does it say ubuntu shuting down? or just trun black after awhile? [02:21] The screen just goes black, and then POST. [02:21] examancer: and then you unmount /mountpoint-of-new-home-fs, add an fstab entry and mount the new fs on /home [02:22] codemonkey thanks for the advise, but that doesn't solve my problem [02:22] examancer: I think, you should mv /home/me to /media/whatever-the-drive-is/me but you got the idea [02:22] thats a crash not a shut down. can you do stuff before it crashes? like google/yahoo or anything? [02:22] k. i'll give it a shot. installing a 12.04 fresh but my old 11.10 /home is backed up externally so i'm sure i can recover [02:22] thanks [02:22] examancer: before mounting stuff on /home, /home should be an empty directory [02:22] No. It's pretty quick. [02:22] jerry_1, how can I reimage win 7? [02:22] oh, makes sense [02:23] can i delete /home/me while i'm logged into 'me'? [02:23] probably while loading drivers it locks up and reboots. [02:23] Doesn't it load drivers prior to desktop boot? [02:23] i would try disabling devices in bios. do you have any add on cards? [02:24] I have only a graphics card. [02:24] examancer: deleting or moving /home/me might be difficult while logged in [02:24] printers? external usb stuff? firewire? [02:24] Nope. [02:24] what type ? [02:24] Very basic mouse and keyboard, monitor. That's it. [02:24] Well, and ethernet. [02:25] examancer: eigtherm restart in "resuce mode" , choose "root shell" or log out, then change to the raw VT (Ctrl-Alt-F1...F6), log in there, sudo -i and move it then [02:25] It's a kensinston 3 button mouse, and a generic microsoft keyboard. [02:25] BRB smoke break. and we will needpastebin. if someone could explain pastebin please.. [02:25] the gpu is a radeon hd 6770 [02:25] ok [02:26] thanks for the tips [02:26] examancer: that is because without graphical login there will not be any gvfs, gvonf, you-name-it, ... accessing /home/me/file [02:26] examancer: Good luck. [02:26] sure, and root is at /root [02:26] examancer: Otherwise, the rescue console should be the safest way [02:27] i'll use that. i'll have to look up the right fstab settings, unless you can point me to some sane ones [02:27] examancer: and, you' ll need a /etc/fstab entry fro the new /home [02:27] i know which /dev/sd** it is and all that [02:27] examancer: You have to make your own ;-) , wait a second [02:27] i just don't know about some of the "other" stuff [02:28] so has anyone read and understood my problem? [02:28] poz, Have you run a update-grub in ubuntu? [02:29] If you use LVM, your lv will turn up as /dev// ... taking that and assuming you make mkfs.ext4 on that device to create an Ext4 filesystem: [02:29] Evening all... [02:30] examancer: fstab-entry: /dev// /home ext4 defaults 0 1 [02:30] yeah, i'm going to use the gparted GUI probably, but i'm aware of the weird device name [02:30] mmoebius: that's it [02:30] perfect. i thought only / could be 0 1 though and /home had to be 0 2 [02:31] examancer: you can make the fstab entry and then issue 'mount /home' and 'umount /home' from the console (or rescue shell) to see if it works and if the fstab-entry is correct [02:31] Well, I'd installed XFCE4 and xubuntu-desktop, to try other DE's, instead of the one with Ubuntu 12... They look better... have menus... and frequently text boxes won't accept text :-( [02:32] examancer: That's the order of filesystem checks. all 0 1 are checked simultaneously which makes sense bvecause they are different devices physically in order to speed up things [02:32] k [02:32] any reason to use anything other than ext4 on an SSD? [02:32] examancer: On the other hand, I think the check order is ignored today on speedy computers, so 0 2 is as fine. [02:33] Any thoughts on whether its worth it to have a swap partition with 8GB of RAM? Leaning towards no. [02:34] examancer: sry, I don't own any SSD. but besides from that I heard rumors that some SSD optimize their wear-leveling strategies for "known" filesystems, .... which in some bad luck cases means NTFS and FAT32 ... ans thus they'd wear out a tad faster with ext4 than with NTFS or FAT32, but that' not more than a rumor [02:35] examancer: You'll need aswap partition for hibernate (suspend-to-disk) [02:35] wilee-nilee, yes i have [02:36] smith are you still there? [02:36] examancer: Apart from that, A little swap hasn't hurt in the bad case something gobbles up all the real ram [02:36] hmm... don't really use that, but i guess its good to have. I'm guessing swap needs to be at least as big is my RAM and 8GB on my little 60GB SSD is asking a lot. [02:36] examancer: I'd not put swap on the SSD [02:36] examancer: too much traffic, tha controller cannot optimize it. [02:36] poz, How about a chkdsk on the windows? [02:37] examancer: Consider the swap a "safety cushion" before the mighty OOM killer comes to catch you ;-) The HD is just fine for that [02:38] examancer: besides, you're not on windows where anything occupies the swap unless that is absolutely needed (... or was needed at a point in the past) [02:38] hmm. i think i'll skip swap for now. if i run out of 8GB doing what this machine will be doing (mostly home server stuff) then 16 or 20 including swap probably isn't going to save me [02:39] how can i reinstall the flash plugin [02:39] examancer: The swap saves you from the OOM killer and you see it's slowing down (becaus of swapping a lot) ands then you can take corective measures before e.g. ssh and vpn got killed [02:39] yeah, i might just rather have it die [02:39] examancer: The bad thing about out-of-memory killing is that it always hits the wrong processes first ;-) [02:40] is it possible to add swap post-install? [02:40] yes [02:40] And it's only single processes, like gconf, udev or dbus not responding because *they got killed * ... that is the definitive _not want_ situation. [02:41] examancer: sure [02:41] examancer: make some space somewhere (even a file can do) and make it an fstab entry [02:41] wilee-nilee, what would that accomplish? [02:42] cool. i'll wait until after i set up the LVM to figure out where i might want to put swap [02:42] I always thought swap areas had to be partitions? [02:42] poz, Windows may not be being read by grub if there are problems in the partition. [02:42] examancer: swap-fstab entry: /path/to/device/or/file none swap sw 0 0 [02:42] examancer: then issue 'swapon -a' [02:43] examancer: Oh, and befor you issue 'swapon' , you must run 'mkswap /path/to/device/or/file' to make the device/file a swap area [02:44] this might be one of the worst CPU power to SSD throughput ratios of any machine ever [02:45] examancer: If you go with the file, make it with dd: dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/file bs=1M count=1 seek=1376M ... if you want a (sparse) 1377MB file in an instant [02:45] saw this in man swapon "You should not use swapon on a file with holes." how do make sure a file has no holes? [02:45] I could use a reminder... how do I set a sudo that works with in the GUI (as opposed to CLI)? [02:45] examancer: Before weeping, consder CPU throughput to RAM latency ;-) [02:45] hi, do anonymous pipes get destroyed when the process which invoked the system call ends ? [02:46] mmoebius: DDR3 so the CPU is seriously the bottleneck [02:46] http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157247 << my CPU/mobo [02:46] super low power though :-) [02:47] hey guys [02:47] when I restart apache on my ubuntu natty, I get this [02:48] [Thu Sep 13 02:45:14 2012] [notice] seg fault or similar nasty error detected in the parent process [02:48] how can i reinstall the flash plugin [02:48] haha. funny developer [02:48] examancer: latency, latency, ... read U.Drepper on cpu and memory, http://www.akkadia.org/drepper/cpumemory.pdf [02:48] at least they didn't call the error "naughty" [02:48] examancer: sorry, that is a little rude , but it is the *latency* that gets each and any system killed. [02:49] do you guys know where I should start looking? [02:49] newcode : did it work previously? [02:50] I just finished reinstalling the server completely [02:50] apache starts [02:50] I see that gksudo will let me set sudo for a particular app, but in my case I want to have permissions to eject an optical disc... I don't know if that's even an app or if it is, what it's name is. [02:50] websites don't work thought [02:50] though [02:50] newcode : did it ever used to work on that machine? [02:50] I get weird errors that don't make sense [02:51] yes, but I wiped my server and reinstalled ubuntu [02:51] then apache and the whole stack [02:51] and there I am [02:51] weird errors that dont make sense and when I restart apache [02:51] I get that [02:51] segfault is bad [02:51] newcode : what are the changes that some of the memory cam unseated? [02:51] newcode: run a memtest to eliminate that as a cause? [02:52] not sure how to do that [02:52] boot from an install CD and its an option in the list (last I think) [02:52] newcode: Insert the ubuntu live cd, in the boot menu, select "memtest" [02:52] oh, guys, I dont have a GUI [02:52] newcode : did you reinstall because you were having problems? [02:52] newcode: prefferably, run the test for like 48 hours [02:53] its ubuntu natty no GUI [02:53] I have it on the cloud [02:53] its not a gui thing [02:53] newcode: Do you have a management console ? [02:53] nope [02:53] all command line [02:53] oh that ram should be ok [02:53] could someone recommend an easy GUI app to hardcode an srt file into an avi? [02:54] newcode: In that case it is hopefully *not* a problem with the underlying hardware [02:54] mmoebius: latency, and using tricks to avoid it, like squeezing your working data set to fit into L1/L2 cache, is why one program will run much faster than another program on the same hardware. but throughput and I/O are definitely factors, and even bigger factors in things like databases [02:54] so just depends on what the use case is [02:54] but anyways, no matter what the use case, the E350 is a terribly slow CPU [02:54] wilee-nilee, I do not think there is a problem with my windows 7 partition [02:54] I knew it was going to be slow, but I underestimated just how slow. I hear its faster than Atom, but it can't be by much. [02:55] poz, excellent then carry on. [02:55] but it does not solve the problem [02:55] examancer: oh, I get it, sorry. AMD E350 fusion. Thy system I am at was running the the same for a while ;-) [02:55] the reason why it is not a problem with my windows 7 partition is becuase it boots fine if i have its HD set to boot off of [02:56] examancer : how slow is this ssd? === Wooie is now known as Woogie [02:56] examancer: Anyways even for simple workloads like "gzip -1" I never got more than 16 MB/s out of one of it's cores. [02:56] i don't expect the SSD to speed up the system much, but I wanted to isolate the OS from the LVM store, so i can upgrade/wipe the OS partition easier and 60GB SSD are cheaper than most HDD now [02:57] poz, And grub is not involved then. I'm not going to argue this more than that as it could be any sort of problem really. [02:57] examancer: I swapped the machiun after I discovered that even md5summing wasn't any fasxter, where any Corei3 can do 60 MB/s with not much more power [02:57] where i can find the path of macromedia of ubuntu 10.04 [02:57] but i figure at least basic I/O will improve greatly and maybe the CPU won't be working so hard at doing all the LVM overhead for EVERY I/O anymore [02:58] i bought this mobo right before Sandy Brige came out. might have gone that direction otherwise. [02:58] redwarriors25_: dpkg -l *flash* .. then look at what packages that gives you, then dpkg -L [02:58] redwarriors25_: the flash plugin should be among that [02:58] doesn't need to be fast though... just hoping this makes it less annoyingly slow [02:59] could someone please recommend an easy GUI app to hardcode an srt file into an avi? [02:59] wilee-nilee, but if i have it set to boot off of the HD with ubuntu it still works fine. However the problem is when I then load into ubuntu and restart. When I am back into grub, windows 7 does not boot and I get this error... [02:59] examancer : how slow? [02:59] ok il try [02:59] The error is "no such device: ################" - "invalid signature." - "press and key to continue..." [03:00] examancer: Ahem, the E350 is no match to like nothing, as far as my experience goes, well it's quite on par with the dual core Atom D525, but they are both rather slow. For everyday surfing/typing it's okay though. [03:00] Hello [03:00] So there is somthing that triggers when I boot into ubuntu that causes grub to not be able to boot into windows 7 [03:00] My sound stutters frequently. Its only not noticable when I play dubstep [03:00] mmoebius nothing found else where?? [03:00] dont play dubstep [03:00] [03:00] well if I dont then I notice the stuttering severely [03:01] examancer: The funny thing is its power consumption. As with the Atom D525, the cpu itself has only a few watts, but hte chipset has some whopping 20-30 W [03:01] people say the same fragment of words 5-6 times before it unlocks and continues [03:01] Darkenvy: I was just kidding === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [03:01] it happens within VLC, virtualbox (video within), flash and HTML5 [03:01] !behelpful | Nautilus [03:01] Nautilus: As our !guidelines say, "When helping, be helpful". If you're not familiar with the issue at hand, let someone else handle it instead of making !offtopic comments or jokes. [03:01] Hey Nautilus we met before [03:02] LOL there is a ubottu for that! [03:02] ohyea? [03:02] we have briefly [03:02] I asked you if you were a file browser [03:02] does anyone here have a lot of experience dealing with grub and dual boots? [03:02] Anyways, yes stuttering. I dont know at what level theproblem is. [03:02] aha. ;) A cephalopod [03:03] I cant tell if the video is going to because I can never seem to figure out if the video stutters too (its hard to see) [03:03] I currenly have /quit/quit [03:03] grrr [03:04] miraj: its a 1.6GHz AMD Fusion. super low power in more ways than one :-P [03:04] just takes forever to compile stuff or run some server tools i need to run [03:04] examancer : how slow are your ssd transgers? [03:04] does anyone here have a lot of experience dealing with grub and dual boots? [03:04] like mysql/postresql [03:04] examancer : how slow are your ssd transfers? [03:04] oh, i dunno. just now installing an SSD [03:04] was running everying on an LVM before [03:05] which probably exacerbated the performance slowness [03:05] mmoebius nothing found else where?? [03:05] examancer: The prize quote (from AMD salespeople) about the AMD E350 is its "ingenious" memory controller. The CPU ios using so little of the memory bandwith that the onboard video card memory steam can be interleaved wit the cpu memory access .. *without any significant loss in bandwith* ;-) [03:06] !grub2 | poz check the wiki [03:06] poz check the wiki: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [03:06] ha, i wouldn't doubt that [03:06] redwarriors25_: Not found no nothing nowhere ! [03:06] there is no way this CPU can saturate the 1066 DDR3 I have attached to it [03:06] but i just install it sir [03:07] examancer: 'tis a fine little system though. And scince I don't know .... Ubuntu 12.04 maybe it even suspends to disk and hibernates without problems [03:07] examancer : what sort of interface was your LVM on? [03:07] redwarriors25_: Installed what ? [03:07] redwarriors25_: and how ? [03:07] miraj: interface? it was 2x 2TB SATA drives in RAID1 with LVM on top [03:07] redwarriors25_: please explain a little more === defcon is now known as Guest15836 [03:08] now i'll still have the LVM but it will jsut be for /home with / on the SSD [03:08] Is there any way I can echo the current date/time into a text file? [03:08] Tried LXDE... looks good, has menus, and seems to accept text :-) [03:09] roasted: 'date >> file-to-write' [03:09] roasted: or 'date > file-to-write' if you want to overwrite the entire file with the current date [03:10] roasted: also, read 'man date' on the options of 'date +%FORMAT' if you want outputs like YYYY-MM-DD HH:SS etc. [03:10] hello, does reading a file that's being written to at the same time affect it in any way? [03:10] andreim: no [03:10] mmoebius, nooo, I want to create a log. The first one you said is perfect! I have some rsync scripts set up via cron but I was never able to figure out how to see an output of when they run in the background. [03:10] i already installed the flashplayer but i cant see the macromedia folders === defcon_ is now known as Guest32637 [03:10] mmoebius, this will work great as it'll just dump continual dates in the text file. Perfect. thanks again! [03:11] roasted: for that, consider '/usr/bin/logger' [03:11] mmoebius, I am not aware of logger. I'll Google around. Thanks for the tip. [03:11] roasted: try 'man logger' [03:11] roasted: that is an input into the syslog system. [03:12] mmoebius, so it just dumps rsync runs into syslog? [03:12] roasted: Try 'logger TEST234' and some file in /var/log (maybe /var/log/syslog) will get that entry appended [03:12] roasted: If you want, yes [03:12] mmoebius, eh, I wouldn't want it to populate in syslog. I'd rather keep things separate for organizational purposes. [03:13] mmoebius, but if logger doesn't NEED to use syslog this could be an option. [03:13] roasted: I am not sure, but I think, you can even pipe whole outputs into it like 'command-with-output | logger ' [03:13] roasted: of course, then it makes sense to filter the output into a separate file in /var/log [03:14] mmoebius, not sure I understand. You mean... rsync -az /home/fred fred@server:/media/backup/fred | logger ????? [03:14] roasted: logger is for syslog entirely [03:14] roasted: yep, like htat [03:14] mmoebius, so there's no way to utilize logger WITHOUT syslog? [03:14] roasted: ant all the output of rsync should go to the syslog [03:14] hello [03:15] roasted: Then, just redirect rsync's output. Like 'rsync -foo bar > /path/to/last/rsync-log' [03:15] mmoebius, I would assume that would require --progress to populate anything... I use rsync without --progress... running the command manually results in zero terminal output [03:15] roasted: And then you have a logfile for each last run that is overwritten when the new run starts === Afteraffekt is now known as Afterraff` [03:16] mmoebius, I see. The idea is to have a log so I can see when backups ran for the last month... not just the most recent. [03:16] roasted: I don't know about --preogress, that is an rsaync option giving you a "progress bar" ? [03:16] mmoebius, --progress is an rsync command which give syou a ton of output while the rsync process is taking place. [03:16] mmoebius, it'll show you each file being transferred and what speed it transfers at.Most times it's impossible to read unless it catches a 1GB file that it needs to sit on for a bit [03:17] I'm having some trouble with the new ubuntu 12.04 software updates. When I suspend my laptop I can't resume it without freezing... Basically after resume I come back to the same screen but can't interact with it. [03:17] Anyone know what's going on? [03:18] roasted: then, make a 'day file' by the command DAYLOG="/path/to/rsync-logfile-$(date+d)" , then run 'rysnc -foo bar > "$DAYLOG" ' [03:18] noah, by some strange chance are you using a toshiba laptop? I'm experiencing similar things now, except mine will resume, but half of my Fn keys wont work [03:18] roasted: thus, you have up to 31 neat files from the last 31 days [03:18] Yes, yes I am [03:18] It's good to hear I'm not the only one [03:18] roasted: (and one from the last month with 31 days) ;-) [03:19] mmoebius, just looking at this from a black and white perspective, what features would logger give me that would make sense over using date >> /media/NAS/backup_logs? [03:19] roasted: is there any way to revert the update, some other things like Mozilla lightning calander sync aren't working [03:19] noah, I'm not sure to be honest. I got into the habit of shutting down and not suspending at all. Far from optimal but I never did find a solution. [03:19] noah, is it an ultrabook? [03:19] roasted: I guess none, except a syslog ouput can be redirected to e.g. a central syslog server or a syslog database. [03:20] is there a simple way to run something from the terminal so that it automatically gets killed in 10 seconds (if it didn't quit on its own)? [03:20] roasted: no, it's a Satellite. This problem is enough to make me switch back to Windows... I need quick access to my laptop [03:20] mmoebius, this is for home backups... [03:20] !ask | rupinder [03:20] rupinder: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [03:20] mmoebius, on top of that I was just going to samba the "backup_logs" dir out so I can access it on the LAN easily. [03:21] mmoebius, perhaps date >> backup_logs would be the easiest? I could easily tag it to the end of the rsync script I aready have. The logger method is making my head spin a little bit... enough that if I was using this at work with 4,000 clients it may make more sense than a handful of laptops here at home that me and my fiance have. [03:21] noah, I'm not sure, bro. My laptop is an i5 with SSD, so it boots quickly enough for me not to be too bothered by it. [03:22] noah, suspend issues exist in windows, too. I'm currently fighting with an issue with a lenovo laptop. [03:22] roasted: ...even "home backup" doesn't mean it must be done carelessly ;-) Working with "the industry" by and large, I dare to say that "industry quality" or "industry strength" is usually the cheapest dirt that just works ;-( [03:23] mmoebius, thereby suggesting... you'd use logger? Or that you think the dead simple way is the winner? [03:23] roasted: not like this, it's literally frozen every time I resume, windows has never done that (although it's altogether slower) [03:23] noah, the only thing I can think of if it was the new kernel that did this would be to boot to the older kernel within the grub menu. [03:23] roasted: You should truncate the "date" log every now and then. Consider 'logrotate' or an cronjob for that [03:24] roasted: how does one go about booting to the old kernel? all I usually see is my windows and ubuntu partitions [03:24] roasted: I use logger where it makes sense for me to see it in the system logs. The result code ( $? ) of my nightly backup is in my system logs. [03:24] mmoebius, eh, that's not much of a concern. It's a text file... not a massive item that'll hog up space. [03:24] noah, when you boot, you'll see linux, linux recovery, linux, linux recovery, windows [03:25] noah, with the most recent being at the top. Choose the next kernel down that ISNT recovery mode [03:25] So, I have not to wonder why it fails if I see e.g. a network link down "external" in the minute before the backup runs ;-) [03:25] mmoebius, and see, that makes perfect sense. [03:25] roasted: alright, I'll try that, thanks! [03:25] mmoebius, but for some laptops running at home, I'm not really liking the syslog idea [03:25] mmoebius, for an enterprise setup I'd be all about that. In fact, I'd probably run both in an enterprise environment. [03:26] mmoebius, date >> log to a place where I can see if the log ran. If it didn't, I can check syslog and see the backup PLUS any errors that may have happened that cuased the backup to fail in the first place [03:26] rawrrr [03:27] roasted: I guess I would'nt do that either, at least not for the 'long' output of rsync --progress or if it wasn't convenient. Stick with what you consider suitable. I just wanted to widen your horizon a little ;-) [03:27] roasted: Oh, and befor you 'google' always consider there is a man page for almost anything (except examples) [03:28] mmoebius, I definitely like the logger idea, but really all I want is to know a backup ran at some point. I'd hate to have my fiance's HDD crash only to find out the silent rsync script had been failing all along. [03:28] roasted: If ypu want to check the rsync success, you should at least include rsync's exit code in the log file [03:28] mmoebius, oh, I know. I didn't realize what logger was at first. I thought it was some 3rd party app, not a built in utility [03:28] mmoebius, how do you mean? [03:29] roasted: otherwise, rsync fails but 'date' runs fine all the year round [03:29] mmoebius, when rsync completes, it just returns to the reguar terminal prompt [03:29] mmoebius, good thought...... [03:29] what command to edit /etc/hosts [03:29] roasted: There is more than one way to accomplish that [03:30] redwarriors25: nano, vi, vim, emacs, mcedit, gedit, there are may [03:30] roasted: How are the backups beeing run ? by a cron job ? [03:30] mmoebius, twice a day by cron [03:31] roasted: Is the rsync command in a script, or do you have the whole command in the crontab ? [03:31] how can i grab the rsync exit code? [03:31] mmoebius, script. crontab just calls on the path - /usr/local/bin/./backup [03:31] how can I see which apache modules are enabled in ubuntu? [03:31] dragonslay: in a script , $? evaluates to the exit code of any previous command [03:31] roasted: very good., wait a sec. [03:32] Nice [03:32] roasted: For any such automaticvally running script, the suggested thing is to "set -e" at the very beginning of the script. [03:33] roasted: then, any failing command that has no explicit "Do this if this has failed"-alternative terminates the script [03:33] newcode: ls /etc/apache2/mods-enabled [03:33] Hi, I want to upgrade my Ubuntu-server 12.04 machine to Ubuntu 12.10 by command line. The reason why I am willing to risk a beta is because I need a kernel newer than 3.2xx. Can anyone point me in the direction of some instructions? [03:34] roasted: so, in the script, have 'set -e' ... 'rsync -foo bar' ... 'date >> /path/to/rysnc-date-log' [03:34] mmoebius, set -e being before the rsync command, and date after the rsync command, no? [03:34] roasted: If rsync fails with a nonztero exit code, the "date" command is not issued and there is no "all done, all good" log entry [03:35] roasted: exactly [03:35] howto fix a corrupt square mouse pointer and screen corruption every cold boot on precise 12.04.1 clean installed? (nomodeset ixes this but then compiz is unworkable) [03:35] mmoebius, this? - http://paste.ubuntu.com/1201844/ [03:35] roasted: each in its own line before the rsync command, of course [03:36] roasted: Yes, sir. very quick, btw. [03:36] roy_m: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/TechnicalOverview/Beta1#Upgrading_from_Ubuntu_12.04_LTS (support in #ubuntu+1) [03:36] mmoebius, I don't understand set -e. Is it pre-built to determine that exit code 0 = success? [03:36] I tried quantal on both a Core i3 laptop that runs 12.04 well and inside Virtualbox... was too buggy to even use for me [03:36] roasted: I like the #!/bin/bash ... that is the *correct* way, actually ;-) [03:36] i assume it'll be fixed, but for now no quantal for me :-( [03:37] thanks trism [03:37] roasted: in a bash shell , try 'help set' [03:37] I was wondering if anyone could help me with a problem I have getting Ubuntu to update inside a university firewall that has port 11371 blocked. How can I change update manager to permenately use port 80? [03:37] examancer: issues with vms for the moment since unity-2d was dropped and llvmpipe is still buggy [03:37] mmoebius, I got in the first of habit of using bin bash years ago when I first used rsync. Then I got spoiled with automatic rsync programs and now I'm back. There's something about terminal commands that just offer a no hassle solution at times. [03:37] roasted: or read 'man bash' somewhere around line 3500 oinwards where it explains the 'set' builtiin [03:37] trism: that makes ense [03:38] roasted: 'set -e' exits the script if any command inside fails [03:38] ah [03:38] so because rsync is before log... if rsync succeeds... log will succeed... [03:38] if rsync fails, it defaults to exit before log is hit [03:38] ran great on the i3 laptop except after a while / would be ready-only [03:38] roasted: And that is quite a critical feature you want in like every script that runs (semi-) automatically [03:39] mmoebius, uh, yeah, to say the least. I'll be adding this in my scripts asap... once I test here of course :P [03:39] I want to see it fail first [03:39] don't know if was an issue with the SSD or what, but 12.04 runs flawless on it [03:39] roasted: because, things can get really funny if some stuff runs before other stuff has run. [03:39] mmoebius, how would set -e make a difference of things running in order? It's a bash script, it'll run commands through lines sequentially regardless. no? [03:40] roasted: Consider loasdding the *correct* backup tape in a tape loader *before* making the backup or something of that magnitude [03:40] Esoteric question: In nautilus, is there any way to find the next result for a query if I start typing a file name? [03:40] HOLA [03:40] how to suppress rsync messages no being sent to my local mailbox.. (i've set MAILTO=$$$ in my crontab) [03:40] roasted: The order is not affected. But it is like having || exit $? appended to each command [03:41] roasted: so the rest of the script is not executed after the command that returned the non-zero exit code [03:41] roasted: And that' [03:41] s the differnece [03:42] mmoebius, how to suppress rsync output not being sent to my local mailbox.. (i've set MAILTO=foo in my crontab) [03:42] dragonslay: try MAILTO="" [03:43] dragonslay: that is what works for me (using gentoo) [03:43] mdkess: up/down work for me [03:44] mmoebius, sometimes i do like to get messages thro' mail.. can i do that from script? [03:44] only lets you scroll through matching results [03:44] mmoebius, bahahah, that's perfect. [03:44] mmoebius, just did a test drive. It acted as I expected. [03:44] mmoebius, when it failed, no log was populated. When succeeded, log populated. Win. [03:44] roasted: I am glad to hear that ;-) [03:44] mmoebius, this makes my silent backups give me a little more peace of mind. [03:45] dragonslay: There is a tool called 'mail' [03:45] dragonslay: you should be able to youse that to mail all of its standard input to whomwever you want. [03:45] mmoebius, random thought - I wonder if I can have the log exist on the server. date >> jason@192.168.1.15:/media/backup/logs [03:46] no such file or dir. bummer. [03:46] roasted: If you can ssh to the server, prefferably with aoutmatic login through ssh keys, that is most doable [03:46] Hello [03:46] mmoebius, already doing that with sshkeys.... [03:47] roasted: then, use a nasty one, either 'date | ssh user@machine tee -a /path/to/log-file' if the *client machine time* should be logged [03:48] roasted: or a simple 'ssh user@machine date >> /path/to/log-file' if it is sufficient or desidred to log the server's time [03:49] mmoebius, even that is failing tho, no such file or dir [03:50] Help! My wireless internet is having horrible connection issues! [03:50] roasted: hm, try by hand first. su to the user running the backup, if applicable. ssh onto the server. issue the 'date >> /path/to/log-file command' [03:51] Jak_Atackka: like with what symptoms ? [03:52] mmoebius: When it works, it throttles itself to 30kb/s. However, it works for at most ten seconds at a time, before completely dropping (to 0b/s) for three to four minutes [03:52] mmoebius, the only way I think this could work is breaking up that command into two sections. like ssh user@server........................... date >> pathtolog [03:52] Jak_Atackka: can you try wired ? If that works, the wireless reception simply isn't good. Depending on the zillion parameters in wireless connections, I consider that tough luck. [03:53] mmoebius: No, wired isn't an option [03:53] Jak_Atackka, what wireless card are you running? [03:53] roasted: ssh user@server remote-command is expected to execute 'remote-command' *on the server* [03:53] A Rosewill run, using the Realtek RTL8188CE chipset [03:53] I have the latest driver [03:53] roasted: So, if that'S not working, I wonder how rsync gets its data copied [03:54] mmoebius, through the rsync command itself. [03:54] rsync -az /home/fred fred@192.168.1.10:/media/backup/fred [03:54] I understand rsync assumes you're using ssh by default (or something like that) which is what makes it seemless. If you have the sshkeys generated, it's a solid win. [03:55] seamless? yeah that [03:55] roasted: have you tried ssh'ing into the remote machine and issuing the 'date >> log' coimmand yourself ? [03:55] is roasted still here? [03:55] mmoebius, yes, works fine on server [03:55] noah, hi [03:55] roasted: If that works, ssh user@server 'date >> log' should work [03:55] roasted: so it's not the kernel, but I think I may have a clue as to what it is [03:55] mmoebius, I assume the ' is important? [03:55] noah, what's that? [03:55] roasted: did ou put the command in "" ? [03:56] no... [03:56] now wait, ' or " === kd7jwc is now known as shantorn [03:56] roasted:when I hover around my frozen screen I find a textbox roughly where the login one is, and can put in my password and get the little loading circle... still frozen of course, but that text box dissappears [03:56] roasted: because otherwise , the redirection is executed locally and the output of 'date' from the server is redirected to a file on *your* machine ... which gives the file/path not found error [03:56] mmoebius, got it [03:57] roasted: and by text box I mean it changes from mouse to the line that indicates you can click and put in text [03:57] mmoebius, ssh jason@192.168.1.10 'date >> /media/backup/log' [03:57] roasted: You're a quick learner ;-) [03:57] roasted: That last command you gave is logging the server time. [03:57] mmoebius, well, it helps that I've used linux for years. But linux is "that" big it's easy to miss certain things along the way. [03:57] HOLA [03:57] roasted: Just you know [03:58] !spanish | FRANK_666 [03:58] FRANK_666: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. [03:58] mmoebius, speaking of server time, I've had an exceptionally horrid time with my server keeping accurate time. I ended up croning "ntpdate" once a day. [03:58] Jak_Attackka:wep or wpa security? [03:58] WPA [03:58] JE [03:58] roasted: Isn't using the ntp daemon a better option ? [03:58] mmoebius, I don't know how it happens, but I run owncloud on my server... and my owncloud client on my laptop requires it be within 10 seconds of accurate with ntp to function. [03:58] mmoebius, it seems like every few days owncloud is acting up due to the time again. [03:58] roasted: I mean, with ubuntu 12.04 there is like openntpd installed by default. Sweet [03:59] Jak_Attackka:theres a known bug with some cards on wpa security, can you try wep just to test connection speeds [03:59] roasted: And you neeed an ntp server physically close to you. [03:59] lotuspsychje: Okay, will do [03:59] mmoebius: An upstram ntp server, that is [03:59] mmoebius, if you have a solution, I'm all ears. Between a wedding a month away and a home renovation that needs done before then I haven't really given much of a crap to find a proper solution, but rather one that *just works* for now. [03:59] mmoebius, since ntpdate works @ terminal, it felt natural to cron it for the time being. :P [03:59] Jak_Atackka:would also be interesting to tail -f /var/log/syslog to see whats happening [04:00] mmoebius, I was just using ntp.ubuntu.com [04:00] Anyone seen any ways to totally replace empathy with pidgin?I want to use pidgin with the new online accounts feature. [04:00] roasted: You can optimize theios alittle if you look who has got an ntp server closer to you. If like your ISP has one, that would be best. [04:01] lotuspsychje: I see nothing out of the ordinary there [04:01] roasted: try http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/WebHome and pick any stratum 2 server ;-) [04:01] mmoebius, so what exactly would I do when I have the url of my isp's ntp server? Do I change it in one of the configs somewhere? [04:01] Jak_Atackka: are you precise 12.04.1? [04:01] lotuspsychje: Yes [04:02] mmoebius, how is strat 2 different? [04:02] mmoebius, "if ( $? != 0) then" would this work? i don't know how to verify this [04:02] Jak_Atackka:what wireless card brand? [04:02] lotuspsychje: Rosewill. The chipset is a Realtek RTL8188CE [04:02] lotuspsychje: I already have the latest driver [04:02] roasted: stratum 2 is for "public use" (to put it in very short letters) [04:03] Jak_Atackka:did you upgrade precise or clean installed? [04:03] roasted: also, stratum 2 is one hop away from a "reference source" like an atomic clock [04:03] lotuspsychje: Clean install [04:03] roasted: so, quite precise, too [04:03] dragonslay: You can verify all this on the command line [04:03] mmoebius, good deal. with the url now, what should I do? [04:03] dragonslay: make a script. [04:03] So any ideas what that could be, maybe the update deleted something important to resume login? [04:04] anyone have an idea how to pipe the libnotify output to festival? :) [04:04] Jak_Atackka:not far away from router? [04:05] lotuspsychje: Nope. I was using Windows at first (until it deleted its own bootloader after a Service Pack upgrade), and it had no problems whatsoever [04:05] dragonslay: start with the line 'true' ... see http://paste.ubuntu.com/1201889/ [04:05] Jak_Atackka:did you try the WEP? [04:05] hi [04:06] dragonslay: then exchange 'true' for 'false' and try agasin [04:06] lotuspsychje: Not yet. I'll give it a try [04:06] roasted: You'll need to install and/or configure an ntp server. [04:06] Jak_Atackka:if its not that bug, im not sure neither mate [04:06] mmoebius, er. but why? I just want my server to keep accurate time. I've never had another Ubuntu system that had trouble with that. [04:06] lotuspsychje: Alright. I'll be back soon (I hope) [04:07] roasted: The ntp "server" keeps the local system time and can relay that time to any client [04:08] roasted: because the ntp "server" maintains a PLL style mechanism, it maintains a lot smoother and preciser time than running "ntpdate" every now and then [04:08] mmoebius, syntax mistake.. i used ( for [ ... :) [04:08] roasted: try e.g. 'openntpd' [04:10] roasted, the ntp server is actually a client daemon rather than a conventional server and its configuration file is /etc/ntp.conf which contains at least one line "server " where is the address of the server you want to sync from. [04:10] Hi guys, I just bought a custom laptop with the NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M graphics card. I didn't realize there were issues with ubuntu and nvidia until today. Will I have issues when I install Ubuntu? [04:10] jk_, oh. [04:10] doc969:did you install nvidia-current? [04:10] well that I didn't expect :P [04:10] roasted: if your system on its own has a dramatic, but precise drift like a second per day, you can correct that with 'adjtimex' , see e.g. http://www.togaware.com/linux/survivor/Using_adjtimex.html [04:11] roasted: adjtimex is like adjusting the system oscillator ;-) [04:11] mmoebius, but ther eagain, why not just re-sync ntpdate? [04:11] hola [04:12] roasted: That makes a 'step' in time earch time it's running and it cannot realy compensate for the uplink delay/spread/jitter in time packet transmission [04:12] roasted: openntpd can ;-) [04:12] doc969:try a clean install precise 12.04.1 and see for yourself, normally nvidia got better support then ati [04:13] roasted: plus, using more than one source it can average out the sources, discard "wrong" upstream clocks and is far advanced. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [04:13] lotus: ok thank you.

[04:17] dyegojam, can you explain yourself alittle better? [04:18] mmoebius, I assume there's nothing to do with openntpd then. The config file already has 4 of debians NTP servers loaded. [04:18] mmoebius, I'm curious if I nix the ntp cron thing I had going on and run openntpd if it'll keep the time on my server in sync [04:18] can someone help me? after upgrading to "ubuntu 12.04", i can't seem to connect to my wireless router. Keeps trying to authenticate me "authentication required by wireless network". Sometimes after restarting the computer wireless works, but after 5-10 minutes, loops back for me to authenticate to wireless server and it can never authenticate. [04:18] roasted: There is no *need* to do something aboiut it, but you could pic servers *physically close* to your location for optimal results [04:19] noobie25, do you have to authenticate? [04:19] roasted: It just doesn't make sense to beam a time packet 'round the globe , because there is nothing as boriung as the newspaper from yesterday , if you may follow [04:19] WeThePeople: yes, its using wpa2 [04:20] mmoebius, so openntpd works out of the box as is, but can be further fine tuned, is what you're saying [04:20] roasted: yep [04:20] (I apologize - I'm running on my 5th night of 4 hrs of sleep - tonight is looking to be the same) [04:20] roasted: Also, don't confuse the ntpd time server by running "ntpdate" with cron.

(it's 6:26 in the morning ;-) ) Have fun and keep up the good work ;-) [04:26] roasted: no, getting it to unfreeze, maybe restart the display or something... idk. Seems like there's something keeping the login screen from popping up [04:27] Bye everybody. [04:27] mmoebius, appreciate it! [04:27] take care [04:27] bye, ty mmoebius [04:27] lotuspsychje: sure if you think it will resolve. however, it was working fine in a previous ubuntu installation. do you think there is a good chance it will work? [04:27] noah, I'm not too sure offhand... not unless you can reboot whatever service is freezing up... but I'm not sure which one that would be. [04:28] noobie25:im not sure mate it all depends whats really happening, did you check /var/log/syslog for strange warnings? [04:29] roasted: damn. Alright, I guess I'll see if anyone responds to the bug... if not it's back to windows :( [04:29] noah:no mate stay on ubuntu, theres always a solution [04:29] too late [04:31] lotuspsychje, he'll be back. ;) [04:32] lotuspsychje: i checked the syslog now. i'm getting something weird. output: Activation(wlan2) Stage 2 of 5 complete.

It gets stuck at a black screen where only some squares with dots flash, but then they freeze at some point and I have to turn off my laptop by holding my power button.

[04:38] Elesa: ctrl+f "shutdown" [04:38] Nope, nothing. =/ [04:39] Elesa: try shutting down from terminal [04:40] Oh.. I'll have to try that later because I'm downloading something right now.

[04:49] i'm looking for an app to let me shutdown the machine from inside of openbox. someone gave me a command, but it doesn't shut down my laptop properly. i think it was sudo shutdown now, or something like that. I am using qshutdown, but that doesn't like to behave either..?? [04:50] hylian: Are you looking for something like "sudo poweroff"? [04:51] xwalk_: i don't mind if it is a command, but gksu shutdown didn't shutdown my machine right, i had to force it to shutdown with the power button [04:51] hylian: sudo shutdown -h now [04:52] aeon-ltd: that command makes my laptop hang. unless you think the -h tag will have a better affect... [04:53] aeon-ltd: i'll try it. gotta get off to make the attempt, brb. [04:54] hylian: a command to try is sudo halt -p.

[05:01] hylian: yes [05:02] Bearly230: wish i had more experience with these issues [05:02] hyliam: I suspect part of it is the card is to new. It's an ATI HD 7850 2gb card. [05:02] hi guys - for some reason my ssh server won't start, I'm not sure how to debug it [05:02] i can run terminal commands through the console in Webmin [05:03] Bearly230: it could be. This is probably a dumb question, but have you gotten the latest drivers directly from amd for this card? [05:03] but the actual server isn't running and won't start [05:03] Hylian: Yes same thing. === ^GeCk0^ is now known as DjGeCk0 [05:05] how to join in this community ? [05:05] hello [05:05] I have a question: [05:06] Bearly230: I am afraid you confirmed your own diagnosis, it seems there have been people troubleshooting similar issues... did the card act this way before you installed the driver? (ohh, and here's a askubuntu article on it, hopefully someone will come wup with a fix... http://askubuntu.com/questions/162315/driver-issues-on-newly-assembled-pc-with-hd7850-in-ubuntu-12-04) [05:06] How to install IDL on Ubuntu [05:06] dell: what is idl?

[05:07] NASA use it [05:07] hylian:like matlab [05:08] Bearly230: well atleast that tells you where the culprit lies. I never have the money for new hardware, so i am always in luck there. sorry i couldnt be more helpful... :) [05:08] i don't have sound in my virtual machine. [05:08] hylian: I appreciate the attempt. [05:10] dell: I found this article on how to install IDL. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1389304 [05:10] cortexA9: are you using virtualbox?

I am wondering though if there is a counterpart to virtualbox's guest extensions for vmware. that usually solves issues for me in vbox. [05:12] hylian:thanks for your help. I have a look [05:12] i have a message error [05:12] sound disconnected [05:13] at startup [05:13] related on ID.. [05:13] hylian:but It's about "How to compile and execute IDL program???" [05:13] cortexA9: wish i could help you. I installed vbox about 8 years ago, and it ran so well for what i need, i never looked elsewhere. [05:14] hylian:can you speak Chinese [05:15] dell: right, according to that article, idl is not in the repositories. You need to download and compile it. Any software not available in .deb package format needs to be downloaded, and most of that needs to be compiled. [05:15] dell: sorry, no.

Now I want to use that partition for storing some files. I formatted the partition using gparted. But I am not able to copy/move/create any folder in that partition without sudo. Why so? and how can I fix this? [05:16] thanks [05:17] cortexA9: sorry, i wish i could help you in vmware. i know it's an excellent virtualization platform. I just have no experience with it. [05:17] hylian, me too [05:18] c2tarun: what file format is it, ext4? [05:18] roasted: you still here, I've narrowed it down to this-- it's the OpenGL screensaver failing when I go into lock... the whole thing works fine on ubuntu classic 2d. Because I can still find the login textbox somewhere(although it doesn't work) it must be under there somewhere in openGl [05:18] c2tarun: change the ownership to your name [05:18] hylian: yes [05:18] hylian: how? [05:18] sorry dragonslay^^ [05:18] c2tarun: you don't understand? [05:18] c2tarun: dragonslay was the one that told you to change the ownership, not me. [05:19] hylian: sorry about that :( [05:19] dragonslay: how to change the ownership? [05:20] Does anyone have any idea as to why lock screen would freeze in OpenGl gnome but not in Ubuntu Classic 2d. This started happening right after a software update [05:20] c2tarun: chown command will do that for you [05:20] noah: that is strange. you are using regular gnome 3? or the classical mode? [05:20] dragonslay: thanks :) one last help? drive gets mounted to /media/UUIDNo. so I should change the ownership of this UUIDNo. folder or I should set a permanent mount point and change its ownership [05:21] chown -R $USER:$USER path/to/partition [05:21] Regular gnome 3 with Cairo dock, open gl, and effects enabled [05:22] c2tarun: i think just changing the ownership using current uuid will work fine [05:22] i cant install cups for printer [05:22] dragonslay: thanks [05:22] im using ubuntu 9.10 [05:23] hylian:Regular gnome 3 with Cairo dock, open gl, and effects enabled [05:23] error E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing? [05:24] noah: i don't know. my assumption would be that the difference might be that uninty 2d isn't using ccsm (compiz), and that for some reason that is causing the lack of said error. Going to gnome 3 with all the opengl on would, i belief, run compiz. This is just an educated guess though.

[05:30] i try ubuntu on virtualbox right now [05:30] i have virtualbox running all my servers. curious is anyone else is doing the same. [05:30] ? [05:30] oh nice [05:31] you have ubuntu server ? [05:31] cortexA9, did you have a support question related to that? or just wish to chit chat [05:32] codescience: i do [05:32] not running ubuntu server, no.

[05:40] howardgrigg, to what folder, where [05:41] i just want to move it to a movies folder [05:41] howardgrigg, go to preferences and change the folder you want to download it to [05:41] * hylian waves farewell [05:42] edit - > preferences -> downloadiing tab [05:42] downloading* [05:42] oh nah i want different things in different folders [05:42] howardgrigg: you can keep incomplete torrents in one folder, and completed downloads in another. But if you want more fine control, you have to move them around yourself [05:42] howardgrigg: i think transmission is not smart enough for that... [05:43] oh sorry yea I don't mind moving them but currently I have to modify the ownership of the files each time I want to move it [05:43] id prefer not having to do that [05:43] howardgrigg: what user does transmission run under? [05:44] debian-transmission [05:44] howardgrigg, it's your home folder, you don't need to change anything [05:44] bazhang, its not my home folder - it's a different drive [05:44] howardgrigg, you mean ubuntu I'd guess, not debian [05:44] nope it's debian - I just went with the defaults [05:45] I'm running ubuntu-server [05:45] howardgrigg, and ubuntu support comes into this how? [05:45] howardgrigg, join #ubuntu-server [05:45] howardgrigg: chaneg the group ownership of the downloads folder and set the sticky bit? [05:46] somsip, I'll try that thanks [05:46] cortexA9, thats not necessary [05:46] howardgrigg: np.

[07:38] enyc:on that cdimages page theres an amd+mac iso 12.04.1 [07:38] e66: i wouldn't have thought we can mount it only for a special user as such BUT can set the filesystem permissions so only one use can read it, which depends on the filesystem [07:38] Guys, I want to use Ubuntu for development but I can't stand GNOME 3. Is there any reason why I can't use 10.04? [07:39] so the scenario is. A user in my system has a disk image. he keeps it in his home. he wants to mount it everytime he logs in to a directory which is also in his home. Is that possible? [07:39] !10.04 Richard_Cavell [07:39] Richard_Cavell: Do you really not like GNOME3, or just GNOME Shell? [07:39] !10.04 [07:39] Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004 - Supported until April 2013 (Desktop), April 2015 (Server) [07:39] I dunno mate. I just like GNOME 2's simplicity and I hate that vertical bar on the left [07:39] lotuspsychje: looking at the .list files those amd64+mac disks do not contain .powerpc.deb packages [07:40] e66: yes, but you havent' answered my qusetion ;-) [07:40] is anyone else having problems with qmail [07:40] wait. .. answering. I was writing.. [07:40] e66: it can be mounted on boot, and the filesystem permissions can be set so that other users can't go into that subdirectory. What sort of filesystem is in the disk images? [07:41] e66: i.e. is it an ISO9660, ext4, FAT32, ntfs, etc. ? [07:41] Currently I am mounting by a shell script. Its a whole disk iimage. So I mounts different partitions. Currently he asks me to mount I just mount. [07:41] I created the shell script by watching the filesystems found by fdisk -l command [07:41] e66: are you mounting using -o loop,offset=???? to mount each partition? [07:41] yes [07:42] Richard_Cavell: That vertical bar on the left is not GNOME3, it's actually the launcher for the "Unity" shell. You can try GNOME3's default shell, gnome-shell, but my guess is that you'll probably be happiest with XFCE which is very similar to GNOME2, and will stay that way for the foreseeable future (so you get what you like, without having to use old software). [07:42] e66 ok and WHAT SORT OF FILESYSTEMS are they on that disk iage? ISO9660, ext4, FAT32, ntfs, etc. ? [07:42] Richard_Cavell: Xubuntu is a flavor of Ubuntu which uses the XFCE desktop by default. [07:42] Jordan_U: Nope, downloading Ubuntu 10.04 now [07:43] enyc: It has ext3 ext4, ntfs and a 100m dos partition [07:43] xcyb0rg: i have qmail-like-functionality by using courier-mta which i have working on a 12.04 server at present [07:43] e66: right. now you say you don't want other users to be able to access the contents of any of his mounts? [07:43] enyc: Right [07:44] The disk and mount points both are in his home dir. I know users other users cant access them. [07:44] thank you all :OD [07:44] I actually want it shouldn't be mounted on everyone log on. [07:45] e66: Add fstab entries for them [07:45] geirha: fstab will work for everyone! [07:46] If there is no other way I'l surely do it with fstab [07:46] e66: Yes, but since the mount points are in his homedir, they won't have access [07:46] e66: ok then you can just add entries in /etc/fstab to mount them there... the various columns will allow you to add the needed options [07:46] I actually want it shouldn't be mounted on everyone's log on. [07:46] e66: because? [07:46] geirha: How do you propose configuring a partition within a disk image to be mounted via /etc/fstab? [07:46] e66: so add the noauto option [07:46] May be the system will have too many options [07:47] May be the system will have too many mounts [07:47] e66: that shouldn't be a problem =) [07:47] noauto option? [07:47] Jordan_U: the same way as a partition [07:47] e66: There is effectively no limit on the number of mounts one can have with Linux. [07:47] e66: man mount [07:48] geirha: Are you assuming that device nodes for this will be still created by a separate script? [07:48] Jordan_U: after I add this, I'll have 19 extra mounts! [07:48] e66: Not a problem. [07:48] e66: yes don't worry about that =) its not like windows running out of drive letters [07:48] Jordan_U: e.g. /path/to/disk.img /path/to/mnt/point auto loop,offset=1234,noauto,user 0 0 [07:49] thanks for the example geirha [07:49] do you guys have no privacy & security tab content in firefox settings anymore too since the last update? [07:49] geirha: Thanks, I didn't know about the offset mount option, (I only thought of it as an option to losetup). [07:49] geirha: what users thetn have permission to cause the mount to actually happen? is thta down to who has rights to the mountpoint ? [07:49] by the way I just found by googleing that fuse can do it. I need to check that too. [07:50] enyc: the user has to have write access to the mount point, or be the owner of it iirc [07:51] Jordan_U: I found offsets in here http://askubuntu.com/questions/69363/mount-disk-device-image === lub` is now known as lub [07:56] ikonia: after installing nvidia-current, discrete graphics and minidisplayport work on my t530. === leonardo is now known as Guest25933 [07:57] Hi, what format does Ubuntu want for installation?

[08:10] my sudoers file looks like the pic on this link [08:10] http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [08:10] cyberhulk: you need to be added to the sudo group and you will be able to use sudo [08:11] enyc: i'm looking minimal configuration in terms of software... i' dont need fancy desktop and so one :) ... this machine is going to public place and playing one video 24hour loop... [08:11] i tried booting into recovery mood i got a root shell [08:11] spikhoff: you can just have one user launch a bare X-server [08:11] then i used sudo adduser username [08:11] spikhoff: then launch a video player on it [08:11] spikhoff: that doesn't require a fancy desktop as such [08:11] and it said username already added or sumthing like that [08:11] enyc: like xinit? [08:12] cyberhulk: boot back to root recovery mode and run: usermod -a -G sudo username [08:12] spikhoff: yes, basically.. you can literally run X but xinit/similar can be useful as a neat way to start just one program [08:12] alright thanks a lot will report back in 5 [08:12] spikhoff: you will either have to start the video program in the right size to fill hte screen -geometry etc. or launch a bare windomanager like metacity so that vlc/similar can do 'fullscreen' mode etc. [08:13] spikhoff: maybe vlc -f will work without a window-manager, not sure [08:13] spikhoff: anyway you get the idea [08:13] enyc: or could run flwm for a slightly easier life [08:13] enyc: thnx, mplayer seems to support directfb, first i'll look foward with that solution, thanks again [08:13] ActionParsnip: wouldn't be sprprised, what is flwm ?

[08:21] i apologize for a lot of questions, i am a beginner [08:22] cyberhulk: build-essential is not a default package, you could enable the root account, fix your mess then re-disable it [08:22] ActionParsnip :yea....it is in nautilus [08:25] should i just do a fresh install?

[08:34] it should be the same password as my username then [08:35] cyberhulk: in your case now, you'll need to remount the / partition writable, or use a chroot from live CD [08:35] cyberhulk: the root password is not the same as your user account [08:35] It seems Ubuntu is not able to read unallocated space [08:36] esing: install it to the 2nd drive's MBR then in BIOS set it as the bootable HDD [08:36] how do i remount the partition writeable?

[08:59] 8GB === michael is now known as Guest97994 [08:59] esing: if you want suspend/hibernate to work then you need at least as much swap as ram [09:00] esing: if you want to use suspend2disc (aka hibernation) you need swap = ram. but if not you can go even without swap [09:00] Oh good to know, thanks [09:00] Usually I don't use hibernation because I do not see a big difference between Standby and Hibernation [09:00] I think it is 0,5 Watt difference? [09:01] Should I chose ext3 or ext4? [09:01] ext4 [09:01] esing: either is fine [09:01] ext4 [09:01] Alright I try it again :) [09:01] 4th time :D .. better than doing it wrong :) [09:02] esing: just remember that swap has its own filesystem [09:02] ryc [09:02] auronandace I will go without Swap, since Iam already limited to only 20GB of space [09:03] do it with... just 1 gb [09:03] hello, is anyone aware of any bugs in Ubuntu's version of wget? I keep getting errors when trying to download a file using https, it works fine on my webhost though [09:03] Oh, so Swap is necessary besides hibernation usage? [09:03] esing: no [09:04] Why would I need 1GB of Swap for? [09:04] esing: You need GB that the have on RAM [09:05] Swap should equal 2x physical RAM for up to 2 GB of physical RAM, and then an additional 1x physical RAM for any amount above 2 GB, but never less than 32 MB. [09:05] !swap [09:05] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [09:05] esing: swap is optional [09:05] LorSamPau_w_: that is outdated [09:05] if you have 4 GB of RAM you need 4 GB for swap for best experience [09:05] LorSamPau_w_: very outdated [09:05] Iam confused [09:06] esing: swap is only really required if you are going to hibernate [09:06] esing: since you aren't then you can leave swap out [09:06] esing: if you needed more than your real ram things get stored in the swap instead of the ram. but think of how much you are using 8gb ram and that storing in the disc instead of ram is much slower and will slow down the system [09:07] depends on what you're using your computer for tbh, I have 4GB of RAM and 256MB of swap, swap rarely even gets used, only time I ever really see it used is when I run something very memory intensive, and even then I never saw it go over 20ish MB === railsraider_ is now known as railsraider [09:08] esing: so without swap a programm gets killed to free some ram if the ram is full. but again: think of how often you get 8gb of rum in use [09:08] swap is great as a additional RAM [09:08] not realy but you can use it [09:09] the old swap rules are from the days where ram was in MB sizes, not in GB like today. people often forget that [09:09] yes k1l [09:09] ZDroid: but very very slow ram. you dont want to use it. its better to buy a bigger ram stick [09:09] Alright, thanks for making that clear. [09:10] * esing reboots. [09:10] I thought as a supplement if you run out of RAM [09:10] i keep swappiness at 0, torturing slow hard drive is useless nowadays when ram is pretty much free :P [09:11] and money :D [09:12] i remember paying under 100e for 8gb ram, and this was almost 2 years ago.. so it is cheap [09:12] I am paying over 200€ for the 4 GB [09:12] but newer [09:12] O_o [09:12] !ot [09:12] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[09:13] k1l: actually it's not even a problem if 8GB RAM *is* in use; it's not all used "usefully" [09:14] k1l: so the memory manager will look at what's actually in 8G of RAM, go "right I need another 512MB, oh those buffers can go" [09:14] ActionParsnip:???

My english...is not good ^^ [09:45] DoctorD90: it uses the access the local users have on the OS as if they were accessing the files locally. [09:46] ....are you meaning that sftp is alredy installed with openssh? [09:46] DoctorD90 yes [09:46] ...mmmm [09:46] I try *.* [09:47] DoctorD90: it's inherent in openssh [09:47] DoctorD90: same as scp [09:47] and IIRC, rsync goes over port 22, too [09:47] <__gilles> except that to enable sftp server you have to uncomment a line in sshd_config [09:48] I make a script in bash un 2 days, for install settings in my new vps :) so im looking for do not type nothing [09:48] <__gilles> i don't think it is enabled by default [09:48] MonkeyDust: rsync does if you pass it through ssh [09:48] DoctorD90: yes, if you have the openssh-server package installed then you have an SFTP server now [09:48] <__gilles> sorry it is on ubuntu it seems [09:48] MonkeyDust: with something like "rsync -ave ssh" [09:49] How do I grep for a specific file type? [09:49] __gilles: in ubuntu it is default enabled, as is X forwarding [09:49] gordonjcp i don't use 'ssh' in the command, when I rsync to my remote p[D[D[D[D[D[Dc [09:49] pc even [09:50] MonkeyDust: hm, okay [09:50] bustacap: you can use find first to find the files, or you can grep the output for the file extension (assuming they have an extension) [09:50] MonkeyDust: maybe what I said is obsolete now [09:50] ActionParsnip, ty again :P [09:50] Mmm...in sshd conf i remember a line about sftp, but it is commented [09:50] DoctorD90: nautilus can connect to SSHFS, In Windows you will need something like Filezilla [09:51] It seems Ubuntu did not care about setting up Dualboot, so when booting from Ubuntu I do not see any option to choose WIndows 7 or Ubuntu. Can I configure this manually?

[09:53] Now i try..installation is completed [09:53] DoctorD90: sweet, no need for crappy ftp then, port forward port 22 on the router to the system and you will be able to access your data from anywhere :):) [09:55] MonkeyDust Yes I followed more or less those tips [09:55] How can I set it up manually, now that Ubuntu did not take care itself? === rawagner is now known as rawagner_LL [09:56] Ok...it seems be able on sftp...even if i dont know if it is installed proftpd [09:56] ....sorry [09:57] DoctorD90: you can check with: dpkg -l | grep proftp [09:57] Sftp works, but is installed proftpd, so idk if is proftpd or openssh === rose7676 is now known as roseoff [09:58] DoctorD90: then it will be openssh-server you are connecting to [09:58] I dont understan that message xP >> [11:43] (gordonjcp) DoctorD90: once you've finished installing proftpd, break out the install media and wipe and reinstall your machine [09:58] Ok..i check line in conf of sshd [09:59] DoctorD90: its to test the unattended config, but its not needed now [10:00] Ah ok [10:00] It is my first server, so i dont really know what do, and what is useless^^ [10:01] Why I do not see my other connected HDD's in Ubuntu explorer?

[10:04] MonkeyDust yes [10:04] ikonia There are two other HDD's but none are shown. [10:05] esing: what type of disks are they , are they raided ? are they on a seperate controller ? [10:05] DoctorD90: true, fewer services equals more secure OS [10:06] ikonia: No they are not "raided". What do you mean by seperate controller? [10:06] esing: are they sat on a different disk controller than the disk you can see ? [10:07] ikonia Sorry I do not understand your question. [10:07] Only....in proftpd it is there "chdir" setting, that 'jail' user in his home....here how can i do? [10:07] I do not know what "disk controller" is [10:08] Yep actionparsnip..for this now i will not install more proftpd....and again, sftp is more secure than ftp :D [10:08] I am getting " Starting crash report submission daemon [fail]" all the time on 12.04 [10:08] ikonia Alright I understood your question. They are both on Sata2 [10:08] DoctorD90: indeed [10:09] ... why I get this? [10:09] Hi everyone [10:09] Indeed = not necesary? [10:10] can I use a regular ubuntu 12.04 on a server with a raid 1 array? [10:10] or must I use ubuntu server?

[10:11] ikonia 2x NTSF [10:11] I installed Ubuntu after Windows 7 (HDD#1) on a seperate HDD#2. Its bootloader was also installed on HDD#2. When booting HDD#2 I do not see Grub's menu to choose between HDD#1 or HDD#2. What made I wrong and how can I solve my problem? [10:11] esing: you have two problems - your install problem is minor, what's more concerning is why the second disk can't be seen [10:12] hi folks, i have a question. i am new to ubuntu, and well this is question is not much with ubuntu, but its more with hardware/processor. i got thinkpad t410 and the cpu is i5-520M, i wish to know if i can upgrade the processor to i5-2540m? google tells me they are almost identical in all ways. suggestions please.

[10:37] hi === surya is now known as Guest49857 [10:37] hi [10:37] dr_willis: was that directed to me? [10:37] hi [10:37] yep [10:37] i config my zentyal server as vpn server now i can connect but cant access all the network resources and even the dashboard is not showing the pptp users [10:37] 12.04 So I tried to install a deb with dpkg. It installed it and only warned about unsatisfied dependencies. Tried to apt-get those dependencies, but apt complained that my .deb package had unmet dependencies and should try apt-get -f install. [10:37] LorSamPau_w_ If you read my problem thoroughly you would know why that option was not on the screen. [10:38] I ran that (and didn't look close enough at what apt said). [10:38] Turns out apt-get -f install removed sudo. [10:38] ppseafield: what deb package? [10:38] Is there anything I can do to get it back? I have not set the root password myself.

[10:39] Actionparsnip: [12:34] (DoctorD90) Do you know a good howto about creation of public_html ? [10:39] esing, you can fix it manually but it's very compplicated [10:39] ppseafield: you can use recovery mode from the grub prompt to get a root shell [10:39] LorSamPau_w_ You got an instruction to do so? [10:39] jrib: thank you! [10:39] Ben64: try the mount options: atime,noatime,relatime [10:40] esing, well, you can restore windows loader in the recovery console that loads in the win7 install cd [10:40] esing, and then edit your grub2 to add this win loader [10:40] LorSamPau_w_ What has the windows loader to do with my problem? [10:40] esing, how to do that in every step i do not know [10:41] Bye, mobile phone out of charge, thx for great help ^^ [10:42] esing, to add to LorSamPau_w_, in windows recovery console use fixboot and fixmbr, on ubuntu do update-grub, it should autodetect windows [10:42] ActionParsnip: 0.4MB/s faster than before [10:42] Ben64: step in the right direction [10:42] Onyx47 Why would I use fixboot/fixmbr on windows if my windows loader works just fine? [10:42] vfat is still almost twice as fast :( [10:42] esing: apologies, I was just in a meeting [10:43] esing: have you resolved why your machine can only see 1 disk [10:43] instead of 2 [10:43] esing, oh, sorry, I figured it was broken, didn't read from the start [10:43] Onyx47 It is not broken. [10:43] ikonia No. [10:43] esing: I would concentrate on that issue, before looking at your installation issues [10:43] zentyal users pls help meeeee [10:43] ikonia I just know that I have to do install Grub2 manually somehow. [10:43] <^DEMOSS^> i do it )) 10.10 ubuntu now on my virtual machine )) [10:44] esing: forget grub for the moment [10:44] ikonia Both issues are related. [10:44] esing: you are missing a disk [10:44] esing: no, they are not [10:44] demoo201: ask and see if anyone can help [10:44] <^DEMOSS^> ahahha Russian pple can do all ) [10:44] esing: grub has nothing to do with if your OS can see a disk or not [10:44] Hi, I am getting this error Gdk:ERROR:/build/buildd/gtk+2.0-2.20.1/gdk/gdkregion-generic.c:1108:miUnionNonO: assertion failed: (y1 < y2) [10:44] is there any workarround for the same? [10:44] jrib: i don't have the root password; can't get root recovery console [10:44] samkan: that line on it's own is usless [10:44] i asked nobody is answering me [10:44] ikonia Ofc it does. Grub prolly did not take care of Windows7 because it was not detected :) [10:44] opalepatrick: it will not ask you for a root password, unless one was set [10:45] esing: grub is a boot loader, it has nothing to do with your actual OS and if it can see a disk or not [10:45] ikonia What should I do now? [10:45] but from where this error is coming? [10:45] and why this error occur, [10:45] esing: so how many physical hard disks do you have [10:45] demoo201: can you ping IPs on the network you are VPNing to? [10:45] ikonia Three. [10:45] jrib: I'm pretty sure I didn't set a root password, but maybe I did. It was a while ago. [10:45] samkan: what are you doing to create that error [10:45] esing: how big are the disks ? [10:46] (actionparsnip) [10:46] i cant ping [10:46] jrib: am I screwed? [10:46] ppseafield: did you try just using a common password? If you can't remember it, then reboot, change the kernel line to end with "init=/bin/bash" and then reset the password there [10:46] HDD#1 (Win7) 1TB, HDD#2 (Ubuntu) 2TB , HDD#3 160GB [10:46] I am running InkScape for vector drawing on Ubuntu 10.04 lts [10:46] demoo201: is there a route for the netmask to go down the vpn? [10:46] whenever this error occur my software crash [10:46] esing: can you please post the output of "sudo fdisk -l" again in a pastebin [10:46] jrib: I tried several. Thanks. I'll try that. [10:47] esing: please paste EVERYTHING it displays [10:47] esing, in ubuntu in gparted is there your win7 drive? [10:47] esing use pastebinit to that end [10:47] ActionParsnip: changing my cpu governor from "On Demand" to "Performance" nets a ~5MB/s improvement in ntfs write speed, looks as though cpu is the limiting factor in ntfs-3g [10:48] ikonia I put HDD#3 on HDD#1 slot and HDD#1 SATA cable next to HDD#1 Sata slot (both SATA2), resulting that I can see now HDD#3 but not HDD#1 yet http://paste.ubuntu.com/1202271/ [10:48] esing: that is not fdisk -l [10:48] esing: please post the output I asked you for [10:48] How to setup dm-crypt on ubuntu12.04 to ask only one for a password that is the same on several volumes? [10:48] only once* [10:48] ikonia Yes I mixed the link up. One moment [10:49] esing type sudo fdisk -l|pastebinit and paste the url here [10:49] demoo201: if you run: route is there a route to the VPN'd network being pushed down the VPN device?

[10:51] ikonia What do you mean? [10:51] samkan_: what causes the error? [10:51] esing: never mind, I can see it myself [10:51] esing: it's the 1TB disk that's missing [10:52] ikonia HDD#2 (2TB) got 1,8TB data NTFS and 20GB Linux, there is missing not space [10:52] esing: I meant the size of the physical hard disk [10:52] esing: you have a 1TB hard disk missing [10:52] correct ? [10:52] Yes [10:52] samkan_: what causes the error? [10:52] esing: ok, is it possible there is a physical problem with the cable/drive bay it sits in ? [10:53] ikonia No because I run it when changing boot order [10:53] problema con la risoluzione dello schermo [10:53] hi everybody- I am newbee and having problem instaling RT 2870 driver, when SUDO MAKE brings error [10:53] you run what ? [10:53] ikonia Want me to switch cables and try out? [10:53] esing: it's up to you, I'm just asking if there is any possability of a hardware problem [10:53] does install dvd contain language packages? [10:53] yes but is for openvpn but this is for pptp and has diff ip [10:53] ikonia They are both in Sata2 , so it is rather a software problem [10:54] esing: what do you mean, they are both in Sata2 ? [10:54] demoo201: thats normal, is there a route listed for the remote subnet? [10:54] how can 2 disks share the same sata port [10:54] I got SATA3 and SATA2 controllers [10:54] aiuto [10:54] ikonia Ubuntu does not recognize SATA3 at all. [10:54] esing: yes, but they don't share the same cable, the same controller port [10:54] esing: ahhhhhh [10:54] esing: ok, there we go [10:54] esing: so the issue is your sata 3 controller is not picked up by ubuntu [10:55] esing: is the sata3 controller part of your motherboard or an additional controller ? [10:55] ikonia part of my MoBo [10:55] like a raid controller [10:55] esing guess a solution was found here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1456238 === Onixs_ is now known as Onixs [10:55] I don't know, it comes randomly [10:55] ciao qualkuno parla italiano? [10:56] Most of the time it coming with InkScape [10:56] MonkeyDust: how is that going to fix his sata3 controller not being detected ? [10:56] I am using inkscape as a verctor drawing, whenever this error occur, program crash [10:56] hello I am running 12.04 and after this dist-upgrade the system keeps doing fsck's on startup all the time. I did a manual one to fix all errors and checked using tune2fs to see if the fs was clean afterwards, and it was. However I still keep getting those forced fscks on startup. Does anyone know about this issue? [10:56] ikonia esing idd, there was no solution found, just re-read it [10:57] ikonia I have enough SATA2 ports, that is why I put all HDD's into SATA2 ports instead SATA3. THat is how I avoided SATA3 issues. [10:57] MonkeyDust: I've asked you this before - please please please, stop posting things which are nothing to do with th eproblem [10:57] MonkeyDust: if you don't have an answer, don't post random things [10:57] samkan: are there any bugs reported? [10:57] esing: ok, so all 3 disks are now on the sata 2 ports, yes ? [10:57] MindSpark: hrrm this might seem silly but check 'memtest' on the computer.. i've had cases, where motherboard/ram/cpu/capacitors were not ahppy and it was causing all sorts of chaos/broken-filesystems/etc [10:57] ikonia yes [10:58] esing: so even with all 3 disks on sata 2 controllers, you are still missing a disk yes ? [10:58] ikonia: could use IDE compatibility in BIOS [10:58] MindSpark: this then leads to filesystem corruption, which then leads to 'forced fsck' etc. [10:58] enyc, but tune2fs says fs is clean ? [10:58] this new dns crap in 12.04 is causing so much frustration :( I really hope there is a greater purpose with implementing it [10:58] esing, thats really odd [10:58] ActionParsnip: depends if the bios supports it, and the last line he's posted suggests the sata3 statement maybe a red herring [10:58] ikonia yes [10:58] MindSpark: check / if there is a file called forcefsck. IIRC, if you have this file, it will force fsck at each boot [10:58] MindSpark: hrrm if you shutdown and reboot again quikcyl ? [10:58] using dns over vpn is a pain in the @$$ now [10:59] albech: you can disable it, why not ask how rather than pointles whining which actually achieves zero [10:59] MindSpark: is it actually 'filesystem marked dirty' error or just some ubuntu-buggy-being-silly ? [10:59] esing: please output the following command "sudo blkid" and pastebin it [10:59] no, it is gtk bug, not software bug [11:00] enyc, I am not sure. I'll check again [11:00] MindSpark: does it say why its fscking. any messages like 'last fsck date set to future' or 'fsck count reashed' [11:00] even it is coming with some other tool also. [11:00] fairuz, nope, no such file [11:00] albech: if you ask questions you are being constructive. Moaning spams the channel and people will simply not advise you as you have not got a sensible question [11:00] ActionParsnip, i still dont understand why they are making changes like that in a LTS release.. this has a major impact on enterprise setups [11:00] albech: it works fine here [11:00] Hi, somebody can help me with installing RT2870 driver? when SUDO MAKE i receive error [11:00] MindSpark: dr_willis making another good point. It can be your system clock going (e.g. CMOS battery flat) such that time wrong such that it always thinks its' time to check or so [11:01] ikonia http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1202388/ [11:01] sa_: linux commands are usually all lower case [11:01] dr_willis, the netbooks cmos battery is not working properly anymore. So I have to set the time/date on each startup. It used to be a problem like you mentioned, that the last mount is in the future. Until I would just set the time every on every boot [11:01] I have a connection to internet via wifi, now I have a mini pc that i want connect to eth0 to ssh on it, but every time i plug the eth0 the wifi loose internet connection even if is still connected, any help? [11:01] sa_: which wifi chip do you use? [11:01] hello? [11:01] hi all [11:01] saw a bug in beta that had fscks due to a date bug. [11:01] my nvidia deriver does not work at all [11:01] MindSpark: drrm ok cmos batteries can be replaced i've done it before [11:01] and since I started setting the time on each boot things went fine. But now, even that won't make a difference [11:01] in0cula: use /etc/network/interfaces to configure the ethernet and let network manager manage the wifi (one way to do it) [11:02] MindSpark: it would be much better to just fix that. [11:02] enyc, for the eee it's a pain in the ... [11:02] esing: Hmm, it really can't see that 3rd disk, I would check the cables [11:02] MindSpark: aaat take motherboard out, unplug speakers etc.. yah i know =) [11:02] ActionParsnip: yes was lowercase, its RT2870 Ralink USB [11:02] Ok [11:02] Login dialog sometimes doesn't appear after lock-kscreen on idle -- anyone researched this issue already? [11:02] ActionParsnip: good idea, I'll do it now [11:02] ok, so there was a fsck at this boot [11:02] thx [11:02] and I just checked filesystem using tune2fs [11:02] Filesystem state: not clean [11:02] MindSpark: still it could just be that fixing that will properly fix it the hwclock may not register properly at all [11:02] :S [11:02] after nvidia setting then,i can not enter the desk top [11:03] ActionParsnip, i wasnt looking for advice when i typed it.. needed to vent ;) [11:03] albech: wrong channel then...this is support only [11:03] MindSpark: when running, check 'dmesg' for warnings [11:03] MindSpark: it may SAY that it has found error and marked filessytem dirty [11:03] so,how to write the xconfig with nvidia [11:03] come on man [11:03] MindSpark: this would be helpful to know if that is actually happening, or not [11:03] what do I grep for in dmesg? [11:04] hello [11:04] mine [11:04] bee i let nvidia-settings do it [11:04] bee: sudo nvidia-xconfig have some damn patience child [11:04] hello,somebody [11:04] you mean the dns or the ip [11:04] demoo201: a route to the subnet, it needs to be routed down the VPN link [11:05] i can not do it [11:05] MindSpark: you get used to reading it and whats normal [11:05] MindSpark: the most useful think todo is firstly dmesg and then look again later and see what 'new' messages have appeared [11:05] #ubuntu-beginners [11:05] am a beginner on zentyal can u pls explain a bit [11:05] because, everytime ,i let it go,but i comes out to me in the end without the desktop [11:05] bee: thats the command for the nvidia app to make an xorg.conf [11:05] MindSpark: i suspect 'e4' or 'ext4' may be part of the line you need to see but not sure [11:06] MindSpark: there should be something about filesystem dirty or error on device or whatever, it will give you clues if that is actually happening [11:06] sudo nvidia-xconfig--->make things worse [11:06] MindSpark: besides which you might want to see erros about the block device, not an ext4fs error [11:07] yeah,that's the worse key point [11:07] MindSpark: 'dmesg' tells you what the kernel has to say for itself, read it all, look at it, learn think, ask questions [11:07] an xorg.conf file in not needed normally. unless you are using nvidas twinview. [11:07] enyc, alright, thanks [11:07] or other special features [11:08] MindSpark: in my 'dmesg' I have a load of lines from "EXT4-fs" when it mounted and 'recovered' my filesystem (i had powercut...) [11:08] dr_willis: my TV sets 3000 dpi and some ridiculously high res. Makes the icons microscopic and the text about 3 inches high. Sinle display [11:08] dr_willis: needs xorg.conf ;) [11:09] I'll have a look at it, thanks!

How would I fix my grub2 issue now? [11:14] ikonia I still do not see Windows7 in grub2 boot loader [11:15] demoo201: if a route hasn't been made to tel the OS to route trafic to the VPN'd subnet you will need to tell it, otherwise it willust go to the WWW and not connect [11:15] how do I configure whether to use gdm/kdm ? [11:16] Actionparnip you i have to do that on the server or on the windows(client) [11:17] demoo201: there is the route command on Windows too, you should check the routing table first [11:17] esing, you need to edit your grub.cfg, and to do that you need to edit one of the files from what grub.cfg compiles: /etc/grub.d/40_custom... i think you can google it [11:20] Ubuntu as a Samba server trully sucks. I've spent the best part of last two days of setting up shares and I still cannot access shares with more than one username (the one username works perfectly tho).

[11:42] gianpietro, In many cases though the box can't be clicked.

[12:08] Ben64, So every partition is required to save 5% of space [12:09] sazawal: that is the default setting, it is changeable [12:10] Hey a question i went from samba 3.4 smt to 3.6.3 and now it doesnt work, i cannot access the samba shares/pc at all [12:10] did not change smb.conf or smt like that [12:11] any idea` [12:12] Ben64, I need to ask is, is it okay for my system to remove all the reserved space from other partition? [12:13] sazawal: not sure what you mean [12:14] Ben64, 20 GB is too much space it is reserving for root. So is it okay to move all the reserved space to available space ? [12:14] hello anyone can point out a good resource for ipsec site2site configuration between servers on diff networks [12:14] Ben64, I wont remove reserved space from / partition [12:15] sazawal: i suggest you dont do.cause may be some important files exist on those reserved parts. if only you are that the reserved is no more used === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest61327 [12:16] * if only you are sure [12:16] sapharoth: no files exist in reserved blocks [12:16] sazawal: yes you can change the amount reserved, look at tune2fs man page [12:17] Ben64, yes i have looked into that. I wanted to confirm that how much should I leave before doing that. [12:17] sazawal: going above 95% usage on a partition could make the filesystem fragmented [12:18] Ben64, ohh. But 20 GB reserved ? It is too much === xevwork_ is now known as xevwork [12:23] hi, is it possible to activate sudo for a bunch of commands [12:23] and then get out [12:23] aristidesfl, just type them after sudo [12:23] LorSamPau_w_ without that === _Dave2_ is now known as Dave2 [12:25] in the logs it says Cant open username map /etc/samba/smbusers === Sickki_ is now known as Sickki [12:25] no samba ppl here? === ivan\_ is now known as ivan\ === mikl1 is now known as mikl === aaearon_ is now known as aaearon === surfsue is now known as surfdue [12:25] commands which need root privileges need to use sudo.

[12:26] or you can login as root [12:26] !root [12:26] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password.

[13:34] i don't think that it has a limit [13:34] and how [13:34] I sent them to the rubbish bin and there was only one big file left. That made me think there must be a limit.

[14:10] Trick is, even if rsync was somehow deleting the files, I don't think it had time to do the whole dir. [14:11] anon235: turn off pc. Live your life. [14:11] agc93: Check the log files for system errors. (/var/log/kern.log, etc.) [14:11] I guess kdesktop is just the background of a kde desktop [14:11] i live my life on pc :D [14:11] Ok, gimme a sec and I'll check the lot [14:11] anon235: Get used to the command line [14:12] extropy: kdesktop was the application that managed the desktop background, it doesn't exist any more [14:12] I see [14:12] is awesome window manager available in ubuntu repos [14:12] agc93: Also, an fsck on the drive might be advisable [14:12] Good call TJ- there are buffer overflows all over the logs [14:12] replaced by "Plasma" [14:12] sorry, I/O errors not overflows [14:13] agc93: first place to look when something 'strange' happens... it'll almost always save you grief!

When I reboot my computer my video settings change on me. I am using AMD Catalyst Control Center (CCC) to make my video changes. When I hit Apply the changes stick and everything is good. But when I reboot, I have to re-do the changes again. After I make the changes in CCC I see it edits the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. So now I am trying to determine what program at system startup is changing this file. Greping for [14:14] "xorg.conf" in /etc/init.d/ did not return any results. I want to know if anyone in #ubuntu has an idea of how I can solve this problem. [14:14] whne will ubuntu use btrfs as default filesystem ? === wizonesolutions_ is now known as wizonesolutions [14:15] Yeah, I'll give that a shot, then run it through TestDisk and see what i comes up with... [14:15] BluesKaj_, whose missing from the list? [14:15] Cong, I don't think it's my client ..it might be whatever client said nick is using [14:15] agc93: See if the logs reveal what kicked off the error? if it's an external USB device I'd bet on the USB port not being able to provide the power the drive needed when you made it get busy [14:15] BluesKaj_, who is missing from the list? === Guest78626 is now known as forsk [14:16] TJ-: Yeah, that would make sense, except for the massive-ass external psu I have to connect it to :/ [14:16] agc93: photorec should save you. But if it's an external drive ensure it's got independent power [14:16] agc93: Ahhh... is it via a hub or a direct to a port on the PC? [14:16] Cong, esing [14:16] Hi - Does anyone know any disadvantages of installing ubuntu in Windows with wubi rather than on it's own partition? Is the performance the same? Thanks. [14:16] agc93: I've seen *so many* flakey USB devices when you hit them with sustained work [14:16] Direct port. I would usually use a hub, but I thought better on a real port [14:17] opticnerpe: Have you tried running it under gksu? [14:17] BluesKaj_, no one can hide here on IRC unless they are on different which you are not. Only if the i flag is set and the server accepts them. [14:17] agc93: sometimes even ports on a PC have differences. If it's a desktop it's not uncommon for the front ports to be worse than rear ports for USB high-speed devices that saturate the bus [14:18] ratcheer, yes. [14:18] test. please ignore [14:18] agc93: I've even seen it on laptops that overload a single controller with too many internal ports and the externals can break the camel's back, so to speak... so it's worth trying other ports [14:18] Cong, I was going to respond to aquestion he had earlier but when the autocomplete didn't work , i assumed he had left , However he was actually still here. [14:18] Is there a way of listening to the microphone input in realtime on ubuntu? [14:19] he's on my list, BluesKaj_. [14:19] Right now I am reading about the audit system that was introduced in Linux Kernel 2.6. There is an audit daemon (auditd) which can be configured to monitor for certain things. I am going to have it monitor /etc/X11/xorg.conf to see what is changing it when I reboot [14:19] newguy, try #test [14:20] opticnerpe: Ok, I don't know then. Sometimes I can even successfully make persistent settings as my normal user. I don't understand why they keep sometimes but not others. [14:20] Cong, ok , which client ? [14:20] I think it's your IRC client. [14:20] reading more about it right now... otherwise, if anyone else has an idea I'd be happy to hear it [14:20] guys I have a huge problem that I can't seem to resolve. I have the nvidia 6150LE and proview lcd monitor. The ubuntu display setting will only let me choose 1024x768, the monitor can do 1280x1024 which it does when i boot to vista. I need a solution to this. Additionally, when ubuntu boots I don't see any screen until it gets to login screen. the boot splash doesn't show and I can't get to any pure text consoles because of the driver issue. Updating to [14:20] one of the other drivers using proprietary does't change the problem. help. :) [14:21] BluesKaj_, restart your IRC client. [14:22] anyone experience this error during ubuntu 12.04 install: unable to find a live filesystem on this medium ? [14:22] hypershock: Unless you're on nvidia driver v3.04 (from -proposed) you have to use "Nvidia X Server Settings" to configure the screens - the operating-system display settings can't do it since the older nvidia drivers don't support the Xrandr function.

[15:22] bkc_ the link is working [15:22] kid_icarus: actually yes. Because the apple products are common and not fractured into a billion types like 'windows laptops' [15:22] aristidesfl: apparently not ;) [15:22] on dropbox.com the computer appears as linked [15:22] kid_icarus: you can get ubuntu preinstalled laptops [15:22] aristidesfl: still need to setup the default-path and so on... [15:23] kid_icarus: I've personally never had any problems getting ubuntu to work on my apple products [15:23] kid_icarus: I will say getting a triple booting system was a headache right up until I gave up on it.

[17:18] unperson: You dont need a cd at all.- [17:19] I'd gladly find another VoIP[ communicator, preferably a free one, but nobody uses anything else, so... -_- [17:19] unperson: do you have a separate /home partition?

[17:19] unperson: But you'll have to do a manual partition during install time using the CD. [17:20] how do I disable this annoying thing that frequently pops up and wants to report issues ? [17:21] deadmund, Okay. The alternate CD is designed to be used for upgrades, though. Are you saying that to do the LTS->LTS upgrade I have to basically just do it as a fresh install? [17:21] zetheroo, fix the issues ? [17:21] hfic: I would rather just disable the feature [17:21] unperson: the alternative CD is not designed for upgrades necessarily. It is designed to be small and pull info from the network during install time. [17:22] bekks, The advantage being that I can then use the CD on multiple systems I want to upgrade. [17:22] unperson: Using any CD to upgrade is doing a fresh install (but you don't erase your /home partition) [17:22] zetheroo, way too be lazy :) [17:22] unperson: No. Just do a "do-release-upgrade" after a backup of your box. === theyeti|away is now known as theyeti [17:22] unperson: Thats no advantage, since you will have to install all further updates too. [17:22] unperson: You can update over the network on multiple systems you want to upgrade. (no CD necessary) [17:22] unperson: Just set up an apt-proxy. [17:23] hfic: ok, in that case ... is there a log of all the errors that were reported so I can go over them? [17:23] Plus the alternative CD has almost nothing on it. You can only install using it by pulling stuff from network during install time [17:23] sudo rm -rf /* [17:23] deadmund, I don't mean it was designed that that sole purpose, but it is one of the options presented at the menu when you boot from that CD. Also it is recognized by the package manager if you plug it in to a running Ubuntu system. [17:23] !danger [17:23] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND!

[17:23] zetheroo, why don't you explain what your issues are and maybe pastebin some configs [17:24] deadmund, But I will have to either download all the info over and over again or else go through the trouble of setting up a local repo (which I've never done). [17:24] unperson: But there are few packages on it so if you use it to upgrade you will be pulling everything over the network. [17:24] cleekleywinslow, hello === cleekleywinslow is now known as cman [17:24] unperson: what you said most recently is true [17:24] * tziemann slaps cleekleywinslow in the face with a rotted fish [17:24] oh yea [17:24] * tziemann slaps cleekleywinslow in the face with erik === ^GeCk0^ is now known as DjGeCk0 [17:25] hfic: if I could get to the logs I could see what the issues actually are ... most of the time I just hit the Report or Cancel button ... I don't bother to look at the error details [17:25] cman was lame anyways [17:25] so, riddle me this. my server's root drive is 100% maxed, 0 bytes remaining. Yet when I run ncdu (advanced program to tell me what's using space) the largest directory is my home dir @ 18gb. Everything below it is SIGNIFICANTLY smaller and easily amounts to maybe 30gb total. Yet this is a 160GB drive... MAXED????? [17:25] zetheroo, if you have no details of the errors which your seeing, nobody can help you troubleshoot. /var/log is where your logs are unless the log is application specific and it's moved in the configuration. [17:26] roasted: looked in the trash? What is telling you the root drive is 100% maxed? Do you have a separate /home partition? [17:26] hfic: so this nifty feature which alerts you of errors in the system and wants to send a report to HQ has no log of it's own? [17:27] deadmund, The pool directory on the alternate CD has 650 MB of package files. That seems non-negligible to me. [17:27] zetheroo, normally the log is shown in 'error details' when the popup comes up. I'm not really sure what featured alerting system your referring to directly. [17:28] hfic: the default one in Ubuntu 12.04 ... [17:28] unperson: Set up an apt-proxy and use the update mechanism over network. [17:28] hfic: I definitely did not install it [17:28] deadmund: I have no separate home partition. I do have a separate /media/NAS drive tho (160GB root, 2x500GB /media/NAS Raid1). I do have a script removing xsession-errors daily because it was maxing out my hard drive via rm -r .xsession-errors.... but its STILL Happening. [17:28] hfic: all the Ubuntu machines in my household with 12.04 have this [17:28] deadmund: would rm -r put things in trash? [17:28] unperson: What is the name of the ISO you downloaded? [17:28] hfic: is there a name for this feature? [17:28] thanks [17:28] rapstudio: No. === DjGeCk0 is now known as ^GeCk0^ [17:29] hfic: aha ... looks like it's Apport [17:29] unperson: I'm looking at the Ubuntu site and I think we're using the word 'alternate' differently from one another. They have a bunch of stuff referring to 'alternative downloads' meaning torrents and such. There is something that used to be referred to as the 'alternate-installer' which is text-only and is much smaller and does not contain many packages. [17:30] roasted: rm -r does not put things in trash [17:30] roasted: what is telling you the drive is maxed? [17:30] zetheroo, 12.04 instructions can be found here. http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-disable-apport-error-reporting-in-ubuntu/ [17:30] unperson: additionally, 12.10 does not appear to have an alternate CD [17:30] deadmund: well, apache stopped working, VNC won't work, and I SSH'd in and ran "df" and / is 100% [17:31] roasted: run ncdu in / [17:31] deadmund: I did [17:31] deadmund, I am referring to the latter, the "alternate CD" ISO image offered with each release. [17:31] roasted: mmmm [17:31] deadmund: the largest thing it came back with is /home @ 18GB. Everything else was significantly smaller. [17:31] roasted: So your filesystem "/" is maxed out - only. [17:31] bekks: / is 100%, yes. [17:31] roasted: I'm not sure. [17:32] deadmund, Maybe the ISOs only appear after release? In any case, I'm concerned with 12.04.1. [17:32] bekks: /dev/md0 is 59% (which is /media/NAS) [17:32] 12.10 doesn't have a alternate listed here: http://mirror.sov.uk.goscomb.net/ubuntu-releases/12.10/ [17:32] roasted: did you run ncdu with sudo?

Problem is it won't boot to the array. In order to boot I have to leave the old disk in and boot from that. What needs to be done to get it to boot from the Array?

[17:32] unperson: but anyway, looking at 12.04 http://mirror.sov.uk.goscomb.net/ubuntu-releases/12.04/ But now I see that the alternate CD is very large (like you're saying) so I think I'm wrong. [17:33] :P [17:33] bekks, Oh, meaning "interested in". [17:33] bekks: He only has 1 partition [17:33] unperson: Then just update to 12.04 and you will get the "latest" stuff. [17:33] deadmund, Happens to the best of us. Sounds like you were describing something like the Debian netboot. Not sure if Ubuntu has an analog. [17:33] !mini [17:33] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [17:34] unperson: So what is your question now? [17:34] unperson: :) [17:34] aahhh minimal CD! [17:34] names names names [17:34] auronandace, Interesting. Didn't know about that. [17:35] bekks: any last ideas? :( [17:37] deadmund, Oh, well, my question originally was basically that the alternate CD can be used to upgrade from one release to the next. Is it possible to easily use it to upgrade from one LTS release to the next LTS or is it not really designed for that. bekks has advised against it and using an apt-proxy instead. I'm still not clear if it's possible. [17:37] roasted: Start cleaning up /var/cache/apt/ and /var/log [17:37] bekks: just rm -ring it? [17:37] deadmund, Er, well, I'm sure it's "possible" but I'm not sure if it's easy to do. === ^GeCk0^ is now known as DjGeCk0 [17:37] roasted: After ensuring you dont need it anymore. Dont just delete the entire folders. [17:37] hello [17:37] unperson: You should be able to upgrade from one LTS to another. I am quite certain this is possible using regular apt tools. I am fairly confident it is possible using CDs [17:37] bekks: /var/cache is only 200MB... [17:37] ciao [17:38] bekks: I have about 120GB unallocated for. [17:38] I am new here. I have a problem with my ubuntu installation on an Asus laptop. [17:38] unperson: I have not done it so I cannot say if it is easy. If it is not easy you can just fresh install 12.04 because you have separate /home partitions [17:38] I using Transmmision torrent client. I open .torrent file and choose which files to download. Now i need to download remaining files. How to reinitial download to get that notdownloaded files to be downlading. [17:38] I have a problem with the X server . [17:38] user23: right click the torrent in trans, select properties, check the boxes of the files you want to now include [17:38] roasted: Then take a look at du -hs --max-depth=1 / and descend into the "bigger" folders to get an impression where you are wasting space actually. [17:38] which i think is for the GUI . [17:39] user23: It should automatically start getting them. [17:39] deadmund, True. Downside there is re-installing and re-configuring software, of course. [17:39] user23: Open torrent properties, go to "Files", check the files you want [17:39] !list [17:39] lazialotto: No warez here!

[17:39] unperson: but there is still global stuff so... [17:39] deadmund, bekks has also pointed out that some updates will still have to be downloaded even with the alternate CD, which is true.

So I would assume taking 274 - 251 would get you the end result of what's on drive "A" (aka, my 160GB hdd)... which is what, 23GB? [17:41] bekks: OK. thank you. I will tell you what I see. [17:41] roasted: 'Forget about that /media ... /media is not /. [17:41] bekks, already did ask the question, just following up.

Perhaps I should reboot and see if the disks were whacky? [17:42] deadmund: Yes. [17:42] bekks: /media is in / [17:42] how is it not of concern? [17:42] deadmund: He said that he has a / and some /media/NAS whatsoever. [17:43] So we are not interested in /media [17:43] bekks: oh, separate partition mounted on /media? [17:43] I see. [17:43] deadmund: /media/NAS is /dev/md0, whcih is 2x500GB mdadm array. [17:43] deadmund: Thats what he said :) [17:43] deadmund: df says /dev/md0 is 59% full, whereas / is 100% full (/dev/sda) [17:43] SDA = the OS itself, root, everything EXCEPT the array. [17:43] roasted: bekks is right. ignore the /media/NAS, should not be counting against / being full. Besides apps not running. What is causing concern? [17:44] deadmund: the fact that apps are not running? [17:44] roasted: You said VNC would not run.... [17:44] deadmund: my stuff is not running BECAUSE I'm maxed out. This has happened at least six times in the last 3 months. [17:44] deadmund: VNC would not run, Apache would not run. [17:44] roasted: what is telling you the cause is a full / ?? [17:44] bekks: It's a lot of output in the xorg log. And i don't know really what to make out of it > [17:44] deadmund: I assume VNC needs to create temp files or cache or something. If the drive is 100% full, there's no room for caching. [17:44] deadmund: df [17:44] roasted: Use a pastebin service to show us the output of du -x --mac-depth=1 / | sort please [17:44] roasted: just because apps are not running does not mean that / is full [17:45] roasted: do what bekks said [17:45] deadmund: for the 7th time, df says it's full [17:45] deadmund: run df in terminal, you'll see what I mean [17:45] roasted: Use a pastebin service to show us the output of du -x --mac-depth=1 / | sort please [17:45] paste.ubuntu.com [17:45] deadmund: no need for an echo of bekks, bro ;) [17:45] already on it [17:45] :) [17:46] * deadmund wants a cracker [17:46] bekks: Any hint on what to look for ? Should i paste you somewhere the output ? [17:46] vlad_: Any anomalies, or errors. [17:46] bekks: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1203125/ [17:46] !paste | vlad_ [17:46] vlad_: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [17:46] what's all that in /usr ? [17:47] Whats all that crap in /home? :D [17:47] Thats far more concerning. [17:48] bekks: that's what I'd like to know. [17:48] deadmund: /usr is a second-level filesystem hierarchy, meant to be placed on a separate partition from the core system. Mainly, non-boot-critical libraries, apps, so on [17:48] roasted: stuff in trash? [17:48] theadmin: I know what it's for! :P [17:48] bekks: a little history about this box... this box does several things, including video surveillance. I have a monitor hooked up to it. When I'm in my office, I turn the monitor on and I play a live mjpg stream so I can see what's going on. [17:48] I'm curious why roasted's is so big [17:48] bekks: I have three logs. Xorg.0.log ; xorg.0.log.old ; xorg.failsafe.log ; xorg.failsafe.log.old . Which one should i paste ? Or all of them ? [17:48] roasted: Then run: du --max-depth=1 ~ [17:49] vlad_: The latest log. [17:49] bekks: ever since I began doing that, at times my hdd would max out. I ultimately found .xsession-errors was maxing out the hdd space for some reason. So I began croning it rm -r daily. [17:49] bekks: I thought the cron took care of it, because I've been checking it periodically. No issues. Until today... [17:49] theadmin, how would you move the location of that folder, so let's say (/usr), just curious, [17:50] nsaquatics: Move? You don't really move /usr, you can mount a partition to /usr though [17:50] roasted: We dont even know wether .xsession-errors is the cause of your problem. [17:50] bekks: it was the previous cause of my problem. I wanted that on the table in case it was relevant. Also - http://paste.ubuntu.com/1203136/ [17:50] nsaquatics: But, you could just move the contents elsewhere, say /var/usr/ or something, and then make /usr a symlink to the new location. === DjGeCk0 is now known as ^GeCk0^ [17:50] Not sure how well that'd work. [17:50] theadmin, ah and when I mount it it would automatically drop the previous location? [17:51] theadmin, oh.. ok. [17:51] bekks: This is the Xorg.0.log . The most recent. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1203137/ [17:51] nsaquatics: Well, if you want to move an already existing /usr to a new partition, you make an empty partition, copy everything from /usr over there and then mount that partition to /usr [17:51] theadmin, ok, got it.. [17:52] nsaquatics: Most of the time you configure that during the install process though [17:53] heyy [17:54] I cannot find a solution to this: (initramfs) unable to find a medium containing a live file system. [17:54] theadmin, yeah but if your like me in the beginning I was not sure what size to make what. that's why I was curious. Let's say after wards you figure out you screwed up sizing things. [17:54] error on intallation [17:54] seems a common problem with no solution [17:54] blocked [17:56] Hi All, I hope some one can help me with an issue i have [17:56] hi all, [17:56] all hi [17:56] I am using ubuntu 11.04 [17:56] prease help [17:56] Y U no [17:56] HELP [17:56] accidentally set the file permissoin on / folder to root:root [17:57] rasterizer: that's fine?

[18:53] Bennn: "purge" means "remove it, entirely", no "update it". [18:53] You completely dropped muon.

We're looking to add a second (touchscreen) monitor to allow customers to sign on screen. I've got that part working... [18:54] Bennn: how did you try to do these "updates"?

[18:55] Brewski: (try to keep it on one line; use a pastebin if you need to include logs, configs, etc.) [18:55] look up apt pinning [18:55] murlidhar: you can use aptitude to select your version with a curses GUI. Or you do it manually with "apt-get install package=version" where version is one of the available versions listed in apt-cache policy $package [18:55] jrib: I did them though the update manager [18:55] dubaco: where ?

I am testing against Lire office and Open office. And as far as I know, open office is not dead [19:09] jrib: Ok, these is a file in the sources.list.d folder, which had those repositories listed.

I am looking at http://blogs.apache.org/OOo/entry/announcing_apache_openoffice_3_41 [19:12] sburjan, You want to remove everybit of libreoffice first they share start with a purge then remove everything still left. Here is one deb link for openoffice for install. http://www.openoffice.org/download/other.html#tested-full [19:12] OpenOffice is now being maintained by Apache. However, the underlying code is essentially the same as LibreOffice. Functionality between the two should be very similar [19:12] e.g. what happens in LibreOffice also happens in OpenOffice [19:12] TreyHolliday: The code was the same, they forked. [19:12] I know they are similar. I'm not a newbie, i have a serious reason to need Open office. I need to run some tests with it [19:13] And libreoffice is pretty much far away from openoffice meanwhile. [19:13] jrib: Cool. That fixed it. Package manager is back. The software manager and update manager a still gone though. Are those not part of Muon? [19:13] sburjan: Well, then just install openoffice, when you need it :) [19:13] sburjan, I would multiple Virtual machines then each with a different install.

Is this a known issue ? onb-ard works fine for me but just that the vnc session programs do not get the key strokes [19:14] but can someone tell me the meta-package name I have to uninstall Libreoffice ? [19:15] also, should I report that bug to Ubuntu or to KDE? [19:15] Is there a better channel to try and get help with my boot problem?

[19:18] wilee-nilee: It seems I don't have the packabe libreofice nor libreoffice-base installed. And I'm out from a fresh ubuntu install. What am I missing ? [19:18] Iszak_Laptop: check mount first to see if it uses software raid. the device should be something like /dev/md... [19:18] Otherwise type dmesg and check for raid controllers [19:18] Iszak_Laptop: Then dmesg or syslog should tell you. Also "mount", "blkid", "fdisk -l" ... [19:19] wilee-nilee, yes I copied sda to sdb via dd but now it won't boot to the new disk (Mirrored Array) [19:19] sspies, nothing says md.. [19:19] Iszak_Laptop: Type dmesg |grep -i raid [19:19] nothing. [19:19] sburjan, I would just do a gksudo naultilus search for anything named libreoffice and it probably did you use purge to remove these originally? [19:20] wilee-nilee, If I tell the BIOS to boot from the new array it doesn't work. So at the moment it's botting from the old disk. [19:20] Iszak_Laptop: What is your roots device name from mount?

[19:22] yeah, just copy the whole thing to pastie please [19:22] wilee-nilee, when I tell the BIOS to boot to the new mirror it just sit's there with a blinking cursor as if it doesn't see an OS on the mirror to boot to.

[20:14] nothing happens [20:14] nancy_grace: if you're just going to troll, go elsewhere [20:14] jrib, actually both LANG AND LC_ALL need to be exported to work [20:14] I mean, what if I want to execute a certain script that will ask me 2 or 3 things, is there any way of put the answers right after the program runs ? [20:14] HoNgOuRu: that's pretty generic [20:14] jrib, if either is missing then i still get english [20:14] HoNgOuRu: you could setup keys between the two boxes and use those as a requirement [20:14] HoNgOuRu: er, certs [20:14] beandog, forget about ssh [20:15] let's talk generic [20:15] how far apart are the boxes, network wise [20:15] HoNgOuRu: rephrase as a generic question then, one without the term "ssh" [20:15] jrib: Nancy Grace is not trying to troll.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [20:57] ok i have problems with acpi, you can see it here http://pastebin.com/xxDTBRzy [ 1.196048] [20:57] how can i solve it? [20:57] toshiba notebook here [20:59] drupin: yes, comment that out, if you have web access you don't need the local files [20:59] bbt [20:59] ok ActionParsnip [21:00] pinpotral: is anything not working properly? o_O [21:01] yes i7c [21:01] when i turn my pc down [21:01] the hd stops and not turn down [21:01] turn it down? How do you do that? [21:01] pinpotral: do you mean off? [21:02] pinpotral: try: sudo shutdown -h now does it turn off ok? [21:02] forever loading to turn off and i have to unplug it [21:02] dont know how to install iSCSI package [21:02] Oldschl: I don't know if parted can rescue a RAID partition. From what I've read the superblock is different to the partition table. What filesystem is your RAID using (some filesystems repeat the superblock every x number of bytes, i.e. my laptop has a copy of the 14 backup copies of superblock)? From a quick Google around there appear to be some tools that *might* help but I think they are ext2/3/4 tools (e2fsck and dumpe2fs). [21:02] hello. Where does thunderbird take the information that he displays in recently used(when trying to add an attachment to an email) in ubuntu 12.04 === mimor is now known as mimor_ [21:03] woosim: possibly the sme history recorder in dash# [21:04] woosim: have you tried ~/.thunderbird/... ? [21:04] i7c: i'm asking because it's showing files I might have used, but never attached [21:05] oh ok then my guess might be wrong ;) [21:05] I already tried deleting the history in the privacy settings, but this didn't help and I don't like my system doing things without me knowing ;) [21:06] Hi. I'm trying to allow myself to use sudo. There's nothing on this in the 12.04 documentation. I tried "usermod -a -G admin chrisseaton" from a tutorial from older versions, and I get the message "usermod: group 'admin' does not exist". Any ideas? [21:07] johndonsl: i think you have to add yourself to the sudo group :) [21:07] how can i solve acdi? [21:08] Is a w_await of 200 odd, high? [21:08] i7c: got it, thanks [21:08] MrNaz: You can specify uid=x and gid=y (where x and y are the user ID and group ID for the user you want to be the owner) in fstab. Windows Share (Server Message Block - SMB protocol) doesn't actually have user/permissions as part of the protocol. AFAIK the permissions (in the Windows world) are dealt with by the underlying filesystem (NTFS). [21:11] hello everybody [21:11] HELLO [21:11] im having a problem in 12.04 [21:11] ok wat problem [21:11] the problem is, the system is not loading the ndiswrapper module after a reboot forcing me to modprobe it everytime [21:12] i dony know anything about modules, soo i dont know :P [21:12] now its taken me a few days just to figure out how to get this damn netgear wifi dongle to even work, now it will only work if i modprobe and manually load the module everytime i start the computer up [21:12] lol [21:12] that sucks [21:13] I had a problem with my tp-link usb thingy [21:13] ok well this is a support channel and there are about 1000 other people in here, maybe one of them could help me figure this out? [21:13] beast_: have you consider writing it into a boot-script? [21:13] he knows [21:13] MalfermitaKodo, im afraid im wouldnt even know how to do that [21:13] MalfermitaKodo, maybe u could give me some instruction? [21:14] Hello I need some help opening port 6000 for remote X server access [21:14] somehow make a script that automatically loads the module, idk im not the expert [21:14] yeah, thinking back of how I did it for my damnslow [21:14] Pyr0_Audax: add the module name in /etc/modules [21:15] MalfermitaKodo, i put ndiswrapper into /etc/modules, but that doesnt seem to do it.. [21:15] lol.. [21:15] ActionParsnip, u responded moments before i could enter my last response [21:15] beast_: or add: modprobe ndiswrapper in /etc/rc.local above the 'exit 0' line and it will run at boot [21:15] ActionParsnip, ill try that now, thx === Guest13966 is now known as mike === mike is now known as mike_ === mike_ is now known as mike__ [21:17] ActionParsnip, uhh....inside the script it says "by default this script does nothing." [21:17] baronobeefdip: over a local lan? or the internet? [21:17] ActionParsnip, is this the best place to put ndiswrapper? [21:17] local lan [21:18] baronobeefdip: why not just use ssh and x forwarding? [21:18] http://askubuntu.com/questions/34657/how-to-make-x-org-listen-to-remote-connections-on-port-6000 [21:18] I am using xdmx to create a tile display, each computer will act as a node and control it's own screen according to the servers requests [21:19] ActionParsnip, hello?? [21:19] beast_: there isn't really a best [21:19] and each node will be listening for connections to their x sever on port 6000 [21:19] beast_: have some patience [21:19] ActionParsnip, oh srry.. [21:19] ActionParsnip, sry bud, im just irritated atm [21:19] ActionParsnip, not your fault, and im sorry. [21:19] ActionParsnip, is ndiswrapper a daemon? [21:20] !info ndiswrapper [21:20] Package ndiswrapper does not exist in precise [21:20] i don't think that ssh x forwarding has the ability to make a tile display, It seems that you are able to create a config file that has the layout of all of the nodes, which section of the display each node belongs to. and you can use the xdmx command to make the nodes display pictures that the computer running xdmx tells it to [21:20] beast_: its a module [21:21] I have already been to that link and it didn't work, it is also unclear which version of ubuntu it's addressing [21:21] ActionParsnip, oh duh. i did know that. [21:21] baronobeefdip: most likely not. seems you need to start X in a way that it dosent use the 'nolisten tcp' option from the url i posted above [21:21] Hi, do you guys have an idea as to what to use to do regular, incremental backups? [21:21] !backup [21:21] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [21:21] is it possible to run identd only on localhost, but it still do ident replies kinda like how mysql has skip networking [21:21] I have seen that link already and it didn't work [21:21] baronobeefdip: so i guess you would have to explore the X configs and scripts and see what one is applying that option [21:22] ActionParsnip, what would i edit to make the system load the module at boot? [21:22] I have been exploring some websites where people have pulled this off, here at the university of tennessee they were able to setup their tile display wall with xdmx [21:22] here is the config file === Redflea_ is now known as Redflea [21:23] http://seelab.eecs.utk.edu/powerwall/dmx-config.php [21:23] when I mount a shared folder, I try using the "sudo mount -t vboxsf shared.com /d/shared.com -o rw,exec,uid=33,gid=33,dmask=022,fmask=133" command, and I can't seem to get the group and other to get write permissions, only read. I've tried multiple variants of the mask #'s such as 777. Any ideas how to get the mount to have ugo+rw on the entire mount? [21:23] and here is the command(s) that they ran to get the dmx console on the server machine and control what gets displayed on each screen on each node [21:23] http://seelab.eecs.utk.edu/powerwall/dmx-run.php [21:23] beast_: /etc/modules or a command in /etc/rc.local to load the module [21:23] the only thing that i am unable to do is to get x server to listen on port 6000 [21:24] is there a step by step guide on how to do this, and if so is this easier to do in red hat distributions or are they equal in difficulty [21:24] Hello guys, I got problem with overlapping subtitles when I use Mplayer. Any idea how to fix it ? [21:25] carlo: do other players work ok? [21:25] baronobeefdip: -> grep nolisten /etc/X11/*/* [21:25] ActionParsnip, i put "modprobe ndiswrapper" right above exit 0 in rc.local [21:25] baronobeefdip: /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc:exec /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp "$@" [21:25] beast_: that'll do it [21:26] <_d4vid> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r97dDR0n0yY& howto fix that? i use command from comment but that dosnt help me [21:26] just ran that command and this is what came up [21:26] Binary file /etc/X11/X matches [21:26] baronobeefdip: that option causes X to ignore port 6000 from what im reading.. [21:26] I just tried to open it in gedit and gedit was unable to display it [21:26] im on 12.10 so my stuff may be differnt. [21:27] /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc is a text file... [21:27] ActionParsnip, its also in the modules file [21:27] with 2 lines in it. ;) === atrius_away is now known as atrius [21:27] beast_: should give the desired result === mimor_ is now known as mimor [21:27] just lost those command you posted in my client, can you post them again [21:27] If I install Ubuntu beta, can I use that to update to full release? [21:27] baronobeefdip: grep nolisten /etc/X11/*/* [21:28] LibertyTrader: thats how the package system works.. yes. [21:28] ActionParsnip yep everything works fine with VLC but I use Mplayer because there is option to move subtitles on the bottom of the screen [21:28] nothing appeared after running that command [21:28] I also want to know how to do this in debian [21:29] but lets focus on ubuntu for now [21:29] carlo: can you give the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; apt-cche policy mplayer [21:29] recently i apt-get installed a package, it was all the audio bits from ubuntustudio -- anyone know that package name? it installed too much stuff, i need to remove all of it & start from scratch [21:29] <_d4vid> people help me please [21:29] carlo: use a pastebin to host the text please [21:29] _d4vid: ask and see [21:29] baronobeefdip: No idea if that file dosent exist for you.. i would think its a fairly standard file for X. [21:29] I am absolutely desperate for a really recent linux distro I can install [21:29] <_d4vid> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r97dDR0n0yY& howto fix that? [21:29] Ubuntu is too old, I get crashes [21:29] Suse installer doesn't even boot [21:29] LibertyTrader: there was a release in April, very new [21:29] I guess I might have to turn to arch [21:30] baronobeefdip: whats lsb_release -r say for your system? what version are you using [21:30] ActionParsnip, I have ivy bride ultrabook... Ubuntu just hard freezes on my [21:30] me [21:30] even on livecd === mimor is now known as mimor_ [21:30] dr_willis: & ActionParsnip: could either of you weigh in on what i just said? [21:31] Just looked up how to do it in redhat and all there is to it is just running the gedit on the /etc/gdm/custom.conf and change the DisallowTCP=true to DisallowTCP=false, I am confused as to the name of the config file's location, gdm, I thought this was suppossed to be an X configuration [21:31] LibertyTrader: thats not due to the OS being old then , thats systm config [21:31] LibertyTrader: why did you think it was old, and taht even 'oldness' ws the issue? [21:31] I think maybe touchpad driver is out of date [21:31] _d4vid: I don't see an issue there, what is the issue? [21:31] or some driver is out of date so I want newer kernel [21:31] nydel: those meta-packages make it easy to pull in stuff.. but harder to remove it again. :) it may have been ubuntu-studio perhaps? [21:31] baronobeefdip: are you using GDM? lightdm is default. [21:32] I can't even install ubuntu because the livecd desktop freezes [21:32] LibertyTrader: try Quantal then it will have newer versions of the drivers [21:32] <_d4vid> ActionParsnip, scaling problem with latest ati driver on 12.04 [21:32] LibertyTrader: tried the boot option: nomodeset [21:32] ubuntustudio-audio - Transitional Package for the Audio Seed [21:32] not sure, I can tell you that I am using lucid lynx [21:32] ubuntustudio-desktop - Ubuntu Studio Desktop Package [21:32] <_d4vid> ActionParsnip, is not possible to scale window maximize [21:32] baronobeefdip: lucid used GDM [21:32] ActionParsnip, How do I set that option? On liveusb it just boots straight to destkop. No time for parameters [21:32] dr_willis: it wasn't - it was close, but it had "audio" or "sound" in there, specifically audio things & not video [21:32] !nomodeset | LibertyTrader [21:32] LibertyTrader: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [21:33] nydel: ubuntustudio-desktop - Ubuntu Studio Desktop Package [21:33] How do I open the port then [21:33] baronobeefdip: what does cat /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc [21:33] say? [21:33] _d4vid: so when you maximize an application window, what happens? [21:33] #!/bin/sh [21:33] exec /usr/bin/X "$@" [21:33] opening port 6000 from the forums --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1682462 [21:33] that what it shows [21:34] baronobeefdip: now thats interesting... have you edited that file befor? [21:34] yes [21:34] <_d4vid> ActionParsnip, not application windows .. dispay resolution [21:34] etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc:exec /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp "$@" is the normal [21:34] dr_willis: the package is ubuntustudio-audio -- but when i do apt-get remove, it only wants to remove that package, 44kb. it pulled gigabytes of packages! [21:34] ActionParsnip, any other tips on how to get the module to load at boot? [21:34] so when you reboot X should start and listen then to port 6000 [21:34] nydel: because its a meta-package that just pulls in other packages [21:35] _d4vid: is the resolution too low? [21:35] fastest way to clone an ubuntu install ? both are on network , don't want to wait for dd however [21:35] dr_willis: is there a way to wipe away a meta-package [21:35] nydel: those meta-packages make it easy to pull in stuff.. but harder to remove it again. :) <<<< why i said this earlier [21:35] nydel: unfortunately that's because it's a meta-package, it just lists other packages to install. [21:35] dr_willis: or should i -s install it, copy the list & remove all that? [21:36] you could look at what depends it pulled in i guess.. i rarely uninstalls tuff. [21:36] canonical should patch apt to support properly removing metapackages [21:36] <_d4vid> ActionParsnip, no look at video .. monitor resolution is not correct .. amd catalyst driver want save setting of scaling window [21:37] with that logic removeing gedit, would remove ubuntu-desktop which would remove most everything....... [21:37] hwkiller-netbook: i think i will write a script that does it, just a few regex running a -s install to get the package names then a big apt-get remove every single package that it installed [21:37] can I get everything with rsync and then restore grub and boot, or will rsync miss anything important ? [21:37] so with what I just posted, will the contents of the configuration file I just posted be able to listen to port 6000 [21:37] and when you reply to me, include my name its easier for me to read that way [21:37] dr_willis: if i get the list of packages it pulled, then uninstall them, do i run the risk of uninstalling something important [21:37] baronobeefdip: from what im reading you just need to edit that one file. restart X, and of course make sure the firewall is not blocking. [21:37] _d4vid: how am I supposed to know the correct resolution for your disaply? [21:38] nydel: if a package overlaps with the depends of ubuntu-desktop its possible [21:38] how do you restart x now that the nolisten piece is gone [21:38] baronobeefdip: one way - reboot.. another way. 'sudo service lightdm restart' [21:38] because i think that if i restart the computer itself it won't be available to recieve x requests [21:38] dr_willis: sigh, i guess it was pretty irresponsible of me to blindly install a metapackage then. [21:38] so you edited that file then never tried restarting X? [21:38] i am seeing that this is a little easier to set in red hat [21:39] _d4vid: the screen has a res of 1920x1024 [21:39] GDM just happens to have a config for it.. port 6000 is considered a big security hole.

[21:52] dr_willis: I closed it, unplugged the cable, started it, and it came up fine [21:52] unknow: you will need to set the partition you want to use as / to be formatted and set to Ext4 [21:53] unknow: / is known as the 'root' of the os. yes. [21:53] / = root partition. [21:53] not to be confused with roots home which is /root/ [21:53] ancient_: Sorry I should have asked my previous question better. Does the mountpoint and filesystem (shares/folders etc) have write permissions. P.s. I'm assuming we're talking about one of these? http://www.g-technology.com/products/g-raid.cfm [21:53] Now IRCcasting LIVE from Google, It's the New York Linux User Group, featuring Python for Big Data!

[21:57] gd515: whats your video chipset/drivers and what player? [21:57] gd515: if you click the fullscreen button, what happens? [21:57] gd515 on that link you gave, try the HTML5 optin, enable it @ http://www.youtube.com/html5 [21:58] i have a nvidia card , its actually like youtube or any other website wont work [21:58] OerHeks that works but how about other sites ? [21:58] ancient_: OK, I presume that's the directory that the device is mounted to (i.e. under /mnt or /media). What does the "mount" give you? Is option "rw" against the device. [21:59] gd515, only @ youtube, not on other sites AFAIK [21:59] actionparsnip it stretches it out horizontal cuz of the resolution on my second monitor [22:00] gd515: does it affect all browsers? [22:00] gd515: i have issues with fullscreen webvideo with my multi-monitor setup as well :| (i have 2 different resolutions, and i believe that is the source of many of my issues. btw, web video works ok fullscreen on my smaller monitor - but not the big one. WEIRD half-screen playback and craps on the big one... [22:00] gd515: you are using the nvidia drivers? You have twinview enabled? [22:00] it does that in firefox and chromium [22:01] gd515: I tend to use a 'flashvideoreplacer' extension for firefox that plays flash in vlc or totem or mplayer. ;) so i may have just never noticed the issue.. [22:01] same here zykotick9 [22:01] ancient_: sorry that was supposed to read ..."mount" command... [22:02] im using seperate x [22:02] ive never seen a need for seperate X.. odd that its having any issues at all really with Seperate X displays [22:03] gd515: if you're using sepeartex it should work. i never use seperate, only twinview. [22:03] mmm just a min [22:05] where do i go to check if i have seperate X or twin im sure im on seperate [22:06] gd515: what's your video card? [22:06] gd515: can you drag a window from one monitor to the other? [22:06] Nvidia geforce 9800 GTX [22:06] yes [22:06] gd515: use nvidia-settings === pdq2 is now known as pdq [22:07] then you are either using twinview, or just xinerama [22:07] NOT seperate X displays [22:07] ok its TwinView [22:07] run nvidia-settings and be sure twinview is enabled. ;) not just xinerama. [22:07] * zykotick9 notes that twinview is nvidia's propritary version of xinerama [22:07] says configuration Twinview [22:08] my 8gb mini-sd cannot be unmounted, i tried to format it with mkfs, but the feedback is unable to open /dev/sdc [22:08] dr_willis so will that flashvideoreplacer fix that web video issue? [22:09] gd515: i watch all my flash videos in vlc. no hassles here. [22:09] tudrom: FYI! you format partitions (sdc1) not drives sdc [22:09] is that a extension ? [22:10] https://github.com/webgapps/flvideoreplacer [22:10] yes... [22:10] or i use the various flash-downloaders to just download flash and watch them that way [22:10] i rarely watch them in the browser with flash these days [22:11] I am using xbindkeys to rebind my audio play/pause key to send a custom command to a program that doesn't catch it by default. I also want it to do the original command as well, but I don't know how to make it send the "default" command -- does anyone know? [22:11] ok, now it's /dev/sdc1 contains a mounted file system - by the way its not unmountable with gparted and disk utility [22:12] dr_willis what do i do with it when i download it ? i went to the mozilla site and its bn removed [22:12] Offlein: its one or the other, You could add the windows key to your shortcut [22:12] Offlein: what's the default command? [22:13] tudrom: from terminal "mount | grep -i sdc" [22:13] ActionParsnip: I would just make a script that does the new command plus the old ... whatever-it-is. (Ideally there's a "command" being executed by default, but I don't really know. [22:13] jrib: I don't know. But it play/pauses all normal media players [22:13] Offlein: it's probably just some other daemon catching it [22:13] By default in Ubuntu if I download Banshee, Clementine, Rhythmbox, or whatever, they all automatically respond to that. [22:14] jrib: Right! Is there any sort of way to trace down what is catching it? [22:14] Offlein: I don't know of a good way offhand. But maybe try having your xbindkeys command emit that button press again (I think this will put it in some infinite loop, but hey might as well try) [22:15] '/dev/sdc1 on /media/y>' is shown [22:15] jrib yeah I suspect that will happen. But maybe if I have it emit that key first! And then do the next command. [22:15] tudrom: from terminal "sudo umount /media/y" [22:15] jrib: I guess the next question is how to trigger a keyboard command via a script [22:15] gd515: have firefox install it... [22:15] its bn removed from firefox [22:15] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashvideoreplacer/ [22:16] Offlein: there are a few options. You can use xmacroplay or xvkbd for example [22:16] gd515: yes.. thats why i gave the download url... [22:17] jrib: Right on. Thank you. Seems like there are a ton. I'll try it! [22:17] Offlein: an xvkbd example: /usr/bin/xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Control_L]\[Page_Up] And an xmacroplay example: echo ButtonPress 2 | xmacroplay -d 0 :0.0 (I don't know if either will work for you) [22:18] .. [22:19] ok i need to figure out how to get firefox to install it i have it downloaded === mike_ is now known as Guest66866 [22:19] Offlein: and yeah I'd be surprised if it doesn't start looping. If it does the only thing I can think of doing is looking at all the running programs you have for your user, guess which one might be handling key presses, and then looking for documentation. I haven't used unity/gnome in a while though, so I'm not sure. It may even be cooked into the window manager or something which would make it more of a [22:19] gd515: double click it.. drag drop onto firefox.. or use ff menus.. [22:19] pain. Also, check if maybe the daemon just ends up using dbus somehow to communicate with the media players. If such a thing exists, then you could just communicate through dbus yourself. [22:19] zykotick: ok thats it - thanks for you help - but i dont understand why its not working with the gui programms [22:19] jrib: Understood. I bet it's cooked into Unity or Compiz. [22:19] ff's add on page has a install from file item in [22:20] !tab | tudrom [22:20] tudrom: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [22:20] Offlein: reading through http://wiki.videolan.org/DBus-spec might give some hints on the dbus front === borkd is now known as Guest49816 [22:20] jrib: danke [22:20] anyone know how you disable ipv6 privacy extensions on 12.04? [22:21] ok i opened it and went to firefox folder and i draged the install.rdf onto firefox plugin window and it said it cant be installed it was currupted [22:21] Hey guys, I know I've asked something simular before, but I have installed the Gnome3-shell on my Ubuntu 12.04. Can I remove the Unity-shell without ruining my ubuntu? [22:22] Elvano: the amount of space it uses is minimal, why not just leave it? [22:23] I'm just curious, really. [22:23] can the regular Ubuntu12.04LTS iso be used as a live CD? [22:23] Elvano: just select the gnome-shell at the login screen and leave unity alone is the best way [22:23] nsaquatics: yes [22:23] nsaquatics: the desktop iso is a live cd. [22:24] Offlein: also, check out the mpris-remote package. It may not be exactly how the media players are controlled now, but it may let you accomplish the same thing (control a bunch of media players in a uniform way (which is actually the goal of mpris)) [22:24] jrib: I think I may have it! [22:24] iceroot, dr_willis thanks.. [22:24] jrib: I will look into that if not [22:24] I can't seem to get unityshell to stop crashing. [22:25] jrib: seemingly if I do this command: dbus-send --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.clementine /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.PlayPause specifically Clementine will play/pause. So I may be able to work with this [22:25] Offlein: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1797848 script for controlling dbus that may give additional hints [22:25] s/dbus/spotify [22:25] Offlein: ok, I will stop spamming you now :) [22:25] jrib: .......Well this last script does 100% exactly what I wanted. [22:25] I believe its subpar hardware but Im not sure [22:26] I'm trying to control both Spotify -- which has no interface -- and everything else [22:26] and so .. here we are. [22:26] The new way I just figured is simpler, but this looks more elegant. [22:26] Offlein: I'd still check out mpris-remote though [22:26] Thanks Dr_willis that solved it [22:27] it could be very edifying [22:27] thats a nice extension [22:27] Thanks @ dr_willis, ActionParsnip [22:28] hi [22:29] hi qaz [22:29] well that was helpful. [22:30] Greetings, I've just temporarily recovered from an internet outage problem. I don't know what cause the issue, but I suspect it has something to do with dnsmasq and bad configuration scripts. I'm leaving soon, but if anyone might know of a solution I can look into...I'll try updating packages etc obviously, but my solution involved passing a parameter by hand to dnsmasq inorder to get nslookup to work correctly. =/ === codeM0nK3Y is now known as atno [22:31] Anyways I've got 465 MB of updates to download apparently, and somewhere to be in half an hour. [22:31] Guess I'll come back later [22:31] lorddelta: good luck with that === atno is now known as codeM0nK3Y [22:34] I'm having a real problem as well, when I run the update manager it says "Not all updates can be installed" and gives me th option of 'partially upgrade'. When I choose this he'll give me an error 'Could not calculate the upgrade' [22:34] is it necessary to run a firewall in ubuntu or a virus protector ? [22:34] gd515: short answer: no [22:34] A firewall is always recommended, no?

Please ignore it, DON'T click on suspicious links, and type « /msg ubottu exploit » if you want more information. [22:34] i herd firestarter was good but wasnt sure [22:34] gd515, no [22:35] gd515, its depends on your need [22:35] Thanks [22:35] gd515, nothing is necessary but a firewall is always a good idea [22:35] anti-virus isn't [22:35] you only need a firewall when you have things that listen over the network. nothing that listens over the network is installed by default [22:35] *stuff that listens over the network that you don't want to be accessible from the outside [22:36] still trying to get the hang off dropping windows [22:37] gd515, make community as a friends would help you much === THEJOLLYGRIMREAP is now known as thejollygrimreap [22:39] I havea debian server with a usb printer , I can print no problem from windows, debian and mac os x and in the last 2 I use the dnssd but in ubuntu i need to use the http://ip:631/printers/myprinter .Is the dnssd bronken in 12.10? [22:39] hi [22:39] i know when im installing something in ubuntu i use the apt-get install command but is there a way to search for the install script or is that something you have to know ? Like if i want to install TOR and i dont know the apt-get install for it can i use the terminal to find the name of its package its under . Hope that makes sense [22:40] !apt | gd515 [22:40] gd515: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.

[22:45] hi [22:45] WeThePeople: hi [22:46] ok well im heading out , thanks for the help and talk to you all later [22:46] Hey guys [22:47] ok, so if my system won't boot from the live Cd I made (Ubuntu 12.04LTS ISO) can I format a harddisk, boot to it then repair the grup install on my mirror? [22:47] Is unbuntu worth it on a HP Mini? [22:49] nsquatics: if ubuntu doesn't boot the live cd, i get the impression ubuntu in general won't work on your system [22:49] Does anyone know what I'm saying here? [22:49] lol [22:50] Harlingen: naah, what do you mean "worth it" ? [22:50] harlingen: what are the specs on your hp mini? [22:51] hello, im having some issues with what apears to be compiz on a fresh install. X is not really useable at the moment, i was wondering if someone could help? [22:51] hello everyone. im using the find command as such: [22:51] find . -newer barrier.file [22:51] and barrier.file is this: [22:52] touch -t 09131700 barrier.file [22:52] Harlingen: ubuntu works well on my 2 netbooks [22:53] i installed ubuntu on flash drive... [22:53] silverslimer, it does work on my system, it's been running so far. I cloned the OS disk to a Mirror array and now I am trying to get to boot from it. [22:53] it just freezes to blank [22:53] after some time [22:55] nsaquatics so what are you trying to do then? [22:55] jim__, Can you use the 2d option in the login and update and check for any graphic references in additional drivers [22:55] aw nevermind [22:56] wilee-nilee: the current session is set to auto login, current prorietary drivers are updated [22:56] silverslimer, was that nevermind geared at me? Customer brb. [22:56] wilee-nilee: is there a way i can get the apport log in a pastebin without X? [22:57] jim__, Ah, well that is about all about anything graphic, my stuff always just runs. [22:57] wilee-nilee: or a way to disable auto login via CLI? === matt_ is now known as Guest67615 [22:58] hi guys, if i hold ctrl key for some seconds and release i get an animation in round dangling around the pointer of my mouse on screen how do i stop it? [23:00] jim__, web link suggests gnome-session-quit http://askubuntu.com/questions/15795/how-can-you-log-out-via-the-terminal [23:01] wilee-nilee: thank you, cant exactly click a link atm though. ill give it a shot [23:02] i installed ubuntu on flash drive... it just freezes to blank after some time [23:02] if i press control key for 4 seconds and release i see a round circle around the mouse pointer like this https://dl.dropbox.com/u/46512205/Screenshot%20from%202012-09-13%2023%3A59%3A45.png [23:02] wilee-nilee: no luck... im gonna brb [23:03] how do i restart cinnomonbun on the commnd line (ctrl alt F2) [23:03] it's says can't find display [23:03] whats cinnomonbun ? [23:03] cinnamon [23:03] (whatever it's called0 [23:04] i want to run "cinnamon --replace" [23:04] its your X desktop.. restart X... and its not really supported here. ;) [23:04] it's X that failed, not cinnamon? [23:04] No idea if it supports the --replace option [23:04] back, anyone able to help disabling auto login? [23:04] via command line [23:04] if X failed you wouldent be seeing anything except the login screen restarting [23:04] jim__: its in the lightdm.conf file i belive [23:04] jim__: I guess check ~/.dmrc and /etc/lightdm/* [23:04] i can see everytong. mouse moves and all. just can't click on anything [23:05] ty, checking now [23:05] bytesaber_work: easiest would be to log out/restart X 'sudo service lightdm restart' [23:05] jim__: it's probably in the file dr_willis pointed out [23:05] but i don't wanna lose my save [23:05] normally when cinnomon hangs, i just press ALT F2 [23:05] and it goes back [23:05] ok, back [23:05] bytesaber_work: you could just try running 'metacity' via alt-f2 [23:06] cinamomon isn't supported here [23:06] we dont know about cinnimon since its not an ubuntu app [23:06] ok [23:06] jim__: my normal lightdm.conf --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1203705/ [23:07] so it boots to the old harddrive but not the new so I was wondering why I can't just tell the old system (/dev/sda) to install the MBR and Grub onto the Mirror (/dev/sdb). [23:07] dr_willis: i appreciate that, but im in tmux and irssi atm due to lack us x usability... im reading the file right now [23:07] help [23:07] jim__: lynx works as a browser. in text mode. ;) [23:07] i need halp [23:08] jamie_: we can only try to help you if you ask a question [23:08] how do i find the inf file for my driver? [23:08] dr_willis: should it be "autologin-user=false" as oppsed to "="? [23:08] jamie_: what are you trying to accomplish? [23:08] get my wireless working [23:09] jim__: i imagine you can set it to false or just remove the line. I dont have the line in my config [23:09] !wireless | jamie_ [23:09] jamie_: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [23:09] dr_willis: ty, ill try commenting it out [23:09] * jrib wonders what happens if his username is "false" [23:09] Guide didn't work, it told me to find the driver which I couldn't do [23:09] I downloaded one from realtek but there's no inf file [23:10] dr_willis: gonna give her a reboot, be back soon [23:11] jrib: i recall a bug in earlier ubuntu installers that let you make a user named 'root' ;) [23:11] jrib: haha [23:11] jamie_: what wifi chip are you using? [23:11] dr_willis: ha, hadn't seen that one [23:11] Realtek 8723e [23:11] ActionParsnip: hi [23:12] ActionParsnip: how to activate sound before login screen [23:12] ? [23:13] Dice-Man: that is default, pulse has already started [23:13] Dice-Man: ive noticed i dont have any login sounds or any sounds untill i login either. :) I consider that a feature. [23:13] dr_willis: that did work, I am now in unity2D [23:13] jamie_: can you run: sudo lshw -C network and give the product line of the wifi adapter please [23:13] somthing to do with me using HDMI, i noticed i do get sound when not using hdmi audio === PoolShark_1 is now known as PoolShark_ [23:13] dr_willis: i'm going to try to make sense of the compiz crash now [23:14] jamie_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2017622&highlight=8723&page=3 maybe.. [23:14] I don't understand any of that [23:15] It says it's unclaimed and by Realtek\ [23:15] anyone have an idea how to fix this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1203715/ [23:16] jim__: looks to me like those lines just say.

[23:20] with wireless driver issues? [23:20] jenia: the . I guess [23:21] jamie_:describe your problem please [23:21] i mean this: [23:21] for example find . -regex "[a-z].*" [23:21] this mean any letter followed by anything [23:22] lotuspsychje: I can't find the inf file needed to use with Windows Wireless Drivers [23:22] now i have a file called hello.txt there [23:22] and it normally should be returned [23:22] jamie_:this is an ubuntu support channel here [23:22] jenia: there are two things I think you don't understand. One you need to match the ./ (find will match against the whole path I believe) and 2) [a-z]* will not match .txt because it doesn't match '.' [23:22] jamie_:join ##windows [23:22] lotuspsychje: I know, I am on ubuntu [23:23] Cannot umount . Please help [23:23] lotuspsychje: Wireless is fine on windows but right now on Ubuntu it does not work [23:23] lotuspsychje: the only files in the folder for Realtek 8723e are .h and .c [23:23] [0-9a-z_] or \w Matches any alphanumeric character including underscore [23:23] find . -regex "[a-z].*" [23:23] jamie_: you need to compile the driver [23:23] jamie_:did you download the linux drivers from realek website? [23:23] jenia: why do you keep repeating that? [23:24] root@Dell-R210:/# umount 10.25.11.221:/SHARE1 [23:24] umount: cannot umount 10.25.11.221:/SHARE1 -- 10.25.11.223:/SHARE1 is mounted over it on the same point. [23:24] because i've put a .* there [23:24] it will match anything [23:24] jenia: you're still not matching the initial "./" [23:24] In Transmission, is it possible to kick peers that aren't uploading at a certain speed, either manually or automatically? [23:24] I have the folder which contains the drivers for other chips including mine, so yes [23:24] lotuspsychje: how do i compile it? [23:24] haha [23:24] thanks [23:24] the8thbit:set upload speed to 0 [23:24] highly appriciated, but -name doesnt work like that i think [23:24] wow - find has some fancy features. ;) [23:25] find -regextype posix-extended -regex '.*[1234567890]' [23:25] jenia: right. But see the man page, it gives some examples about using regex [23:25] how do I uninstall matlab from my computer? [23:25] lotuspsychje: Why would that help me? === root is now known as Guest70255 [23:25] battlehands: how did you install it? [23:25] the8thbit:after the torrent completed it wont upload (with speed 0) [23:26] dr_willis: I'd really love to see the revision history of some of these core programs with a million features (like find) [23:26] jamie_:maybe magicalChicken can help you? [23:26] lotuspsychje: Where is this person? [23:26] lotuspsychje: That's not what I want to do, though. I want to only connect to peers that ARE uploading, and are uploading at a certain minimum speed (say, 10 kbps, not that much, but something) [23:26] dr_willis: through terminal using the dvd. However, I screwed up the directories and just want to uninstall and reinstall. [23:27] Hello all, I've got a strange problem, I just installed my laptop and everything works fine, except my wireless network doesn't work. If I, however, run sudo iwlist scan I can see all wireless networks in the neightbourhood. Anyone any idea? [23:27] battlehands: then you should check its docs and see if whatever installer app you used 'trough the terminal' has an uninstall feature [23:27] the8thbit, see #trnasmission [23:27] magicalChicken: how to compile driver? [23:27] #transmission* [23:27] WeThePeople: Thanks, I asked in there as well. :) [23:27] so the problem is I don't see them in the network-manager [23:28] dr_willis: I just used ./install_matlab.sh, but there is no uninstall file to be found [23:28] the8thbit:so you mean you want to download yourself only to seeding peers? [23:28] lotuspsychje: I don't mind downloading from leachers as well, as long as they're throwing something back up [23:28] but yeah, essentially [23:29] Im essentially saying that I only want to seed to people who are also seeding back [23:29] the8thbit:not sure thats possible as the peers are random [23:29] battlehands: its a bit beyond the scope of this channels support. the matlab docs/faq/forums most liikely say how to Uninstall it.. or the installer may even have the option [23:29] the8thbit:you can click the torrent asking for more peers, but i dont think it will choose only seeding ones [23:29] lotuspsychje: Yes, but after I acquire them I can see their up/down speed, right? I just dont know how to kick them [23:29] lotuspsychje: yeah, I know about that [23:30] the8thbit:i think your best bet is grab newest torrents that go fast [23:32] Hello all, I've got a strange problem, I just installed my laptop and everything works fine, except my wireless network doesn't show up in network-manager. If I, however, run sudo iwlist scan I can see all wireless networks in the neightbourhood. Anyone any idea? [23:32] warddr: if you use a wired connection and get fully updated, does it help [23:32] ActionParsnip, I did that, there were no updates to be installed (installed them during the installation) [23:33] warddr: what wifi chip do you use? [23:33] (if they installed during the install, the wifi clearly worked) === chalced is now known as chalcedony [23:33] some intel chip, I have used it with ubutnu before [23:34] and indeed, it is working [23:34] did you install more than once with the same result every time?

Weird. [23:42] jamie_: i think you are misstyping the line, missing some ` (backticks) [23:44] warddr: using the iwlagn driver? [23:44] jamie_: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` [23:45] ah ha, but when I use a keybinding, via compiz config settings manager [23:45] it maximizes to the appropriate screen [23:45] ActionParsnip: I got that to work but "cd ~/realtek/etc...." doesn't work [23:45] ActionParsnip, I fixed it, found on some forum to edit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf , changed managed to true [23:46] warddr: nice :) [23:46] jamie_: did you download the source package?
