| Strategos | Heya hiya. | 00:11 |
| k4r1m | Strategos: wein? | 00:12 |
| k4r1m | Strategos: or fain*? | 00:13 |
| craigbass1976 | ActionParsnip, wireless. I think I just found out what I was doing wrong during the install. | 00:13 |
| Strategos | k4rlm: Pardon my ignorance, but what is Wein? (Mein Spanisch ist viel besser dann mein Deutsch.) | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | craigbass1976: a step in the right direction, hope it's the magic bullet :) | 00:14 |
| MASTERPIECE | anyone know a program that I wanted to run Android applications | 00:15 |
| malkauns_ | in byobu can u get the status bar to show stuff for any machine u ssh into? rather than just the first machine? | 00:16 |
| k4r1m | Strategos: it's like where, north african dialect. | 00:16 |
| dietrichman | looking for a method to remove unity 3d so I can just use unity 2D (on my netbook)....?? | 00:16 |
| blackshirt | k4r1m, if you know extended partition,that is | 00:17 |
| Strategos | k4rlm: Interesting. The word 'Strategos' is actually from ancient Greek (and by extension, Greek as it currently is). The common English translation is "army general". | 00:17 |
| MASTERPIECE | anyone know a program that I wanted to run Android applications???? | 00:17 |
| dietrichman | if i cant remove unity 3d on its own, is there any way to auto start unity 2d at boot up (ubuntu 12.04)....?? | 00:18 |
| xangua | dietrichman: you don't need to remove anything, just select unity 2d in the login screen (ubuntu icon next to your username) | 00:18 |
| Strategos | k4rlm: I took it as my character's surname in the game Star Wars: The Old Republic, in which I played a trooper. | 00:18 |
| k4r1m | blackshirt: I fixed it... thank god for boot-repair | 00:18 |
| craigbass1976 | MASTERPIECE, isn't there an sdk you can get? | 00:18 |
| pepperjack | MASTERPIECE: you need to an emulator or just an entire VM. for example http://crashcourse.ca/content/android-emulator-ubuntu-1004-60-seconds | 00:18 |
| Wavelight | hello | 00:19 |
| Strategos | hello | 00:19 |
| dietrichman | <xangua>, i understand that, since i cannot remove unity 3d, is there a script to boot automatically into 2D, instead of having to push the icon next to username? | 00:19 |
| Strategos | <dietrichman>, does it not remember your last choice of which GUI you selected? | 00:20 |
| Wavelight | I want to build a linux router, I am a Windows user, what yould you recomand me fast,secure, and stable ? | 00:20 |
| Strategos | I'm curious because it generally remembers if I've selected Gnome or Unity. | 00:21 |
| Wavelight | a distribution based on Ubuntu LTS | 00:21 |
| morgan | what program can transfer music to an ipod on ubuntu? | 00:21 |
| dietrichman | i am not sure to be honest, it looked like last login when i didnt hit the icon for 2d, it automatically booted into 3d.....is it supposed to boot into whatever your last session was (by default)? | 00:21 |
| pepperjack | Wavelight: you want to build it on a PC? what about just openwrt firmware or something | 00:21 |
| Wavelight | I found Ubuntu server pretty hard to configure | 00:21 |
| shihan | Wavelight, personally, if i were going to do a router, i'd use either devil linux or openwrt... but 12.04 server would be fine for a router | 00:21 |
| Wavelight | yes, on a pc | 00:21 |
| Strategos | Wavelight: That really depends on how comfortable you are with the command line. | 00:21 |
| blackshirt | shihan,yes | 00:22 |
| Strategos | But I've heard some good things about the OpenWRT and some of the BSD-based solutions for firewall. | 00:22 |
| shihan | i really quite like x86 openwrt myself (though im not a fan of their firewall gui, the zones bit) | 00:22 |
| blackshirt | strategos, thats good if you could configure them correctly | 00:22 |
| Strategos | Blackshirt: True. I've simply read on them a bit; I haven't done personal testing. | 00:23 |
| pepperjack | Wavelight: you probably will want some sort of iptable frontend then maybe shorewall? something like that? | 00:23 |
| blackshirt | Strategos, and you familiar with it | 00:23 |
| Wavelight | can I use Ubuntu and add some intrusion prevention on it ? | 00:23 |
| blackshirt | wavelight,yes,sure | 00:23 |
| Wavelight | is there any good book for novice in Ubuntu Server? | 00:24 |
| Strategos | Blackshirt: Not extensively, no. I played with FreeBSD and PC-BSD before coming to Ubuntu. It wasn't quite was I was hoping for as a replacement for Windows. | 00:24 |
| Wavelight | I want to do several things | 00:24 |
| pepperjack | Wavelight: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router good place to start at least | 00:24 |
| blackshirt | wavelight, go to help.ubuntu.com... | 00:24 |
| dietrichman | <strategos>i am not sure to be honest, it looked like last login when i didnt hit the icon for 2d, it automatically booted into 3d.....is it supposed to boot into whatever your last session was (by default)? | 00:24 |
| Strategos | Blackshirt: I'm treating my conversion much like I did when I started with PCs back in the early 90's. I kept mostly in the GUI until I was comfortable doing what I needed in the command line. I /may/ switch to something BSD-based at that point. Time will tell. | 00:25 |
| rob_p | dietrichman: Have you tried editing /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf with, "user-session=ubuntu-2d" in place of, "user-session=ubuntu" yet? | 00:25 |
| Wavelight | like traffic shaping, intrusion prevention, log all activity, etc | 00:25 |
| blackshirt | strategos, i think,. Best suite for replacing your windows was ubuntu or mint, or fedora .... That was easy use distro | 00:25 |
| dietrichman | <rob_p> good suggestion, I will try it....thanks | 00:26 |
| Strategos | <Dietrichman> Based on how you phrased your question - I'm curious: do you have Ubuntu logging you in automatically? | 00:26 |
| dietrichman | <strategos>nope, have it set to enter my password for login | 00:26 |
| blackshirt | strategos, you can all command line on linux ... | 00:27 |
| Strategos | Blackshirt: That was my thinking too. I had simply found Ubuntu before I had heard of Mint. I'll admit that Fedora isn't something I had looked into with much seriousness. | 00:27 |
| Strategos | Blackshirt: Yes, I know. It's very powerful, which is one of the reasons it attracts me over the Microsoft rendition of MacOS. | 00:27 |
| krios | where does google chrome store file downloads? | 00:27 |
| Wavelight | please tell me, if you could let-s say to put some comand and tell the Ubuntu Server not to accept any login for 1 year, it would be more secure as a router ? | 00:27 |
| krios | i was downloading a zip of gifs i found on reddit. | 00:27 |
| Strategos | <dietrichman> Right on. But yes, my experience is that Ubuntu remembered my preference. | 00:27 |
| krios | said my hard disk is full | 00:28 |
| Strategos | Krios: /home/username/Downloads | 00:28 |
| blackshirt | krios, in your Downloads dir on your home dir | 00:28 |
| krios | Strategos: even if it doesn't complete? | 00:28 |
| krios | its not in /var/.... somethin | 00:28 |
| Wavelight | is it possible to block any login for a period of time in Ubuntu Server ? | 00:28 |
| Strategos | Wavelight: I don't believe that it would be a good idea to prevent a login of any sort for any specied period of time. | 00:29 |
| MASTERPIECE | now how to install some android aplication | 00:29 |
| krios | Strategos: thanks | 00:29 |
| krios | blackshirt: thanks | 00:29 |
| blackshirt | wavelight, what do you mean with block login? | 00:29 |
| Strategos | Krios - you're welcome. | 00:29 |
| rob_p | Wavelight: That's not the right approach, really. | 00:29 |
| blackshirt | wavelight, tehnically,you can prevent user to login | 00:30 |
| Strategos | Wavelight: You might have better luck setting rules that only permit login from console, rather than from, oh, TTY (an SSH connection). | 00:30 |
| pepperjack | Wavelight: you might be happier looking at some of the x86 router distros. I'm sure there are some nice ones | 00:30 |
| Wavelight | well, I-am not an expert on it security, but I gues if I would somehow find a way to block any attempt to loging to my Ubuntu Server it would me more secure, I think | 00:30 |
| Strategos | Wavelight: And Blackshirt's right. One way to prevent any login is to set all users to log into some bogus shell. | 00:30 |
| dbdavis | #ardour | 00:31 |
| Strategos | Wavelight: True, but if something goes wonky with the operating system, you're quite screwed - you won't be able to fix it. | 00:31 |
| Strategos | Short of reinstalling, that is. | 00:31 |
| Wavelight | I could keep close a pc for a quick replacement, I need only for routing | 00:31 |
| === cagfaiss is now known as cag | ||
| Wavelight | bogus shell, please exaplin | 00:32 |
| Strategos | Wavelight: Well, I'll use an example. Let's say that by default, Ubuntu sets all new users up to log into a "bash" shell. | 00:32 |
| Wavelight | Strategos- bogus shell means ... | 00:32 |
| Strategos | Wavelight: Shells are akin to the command prompt in Windows. | 00:32 |
| Strategos | Wavelight: Each Linux shell (ch, bash, and so on) has a slightly different layout and interaction. | 00:33 |
| blackshirt | wavelight, you can build a router with ubuntu,exactly, but maybe better if you very new on ubuntu/linux, use dedicated router distro that available on the internet | 00:33 |
| Strategos | Wavelight: Rather than having users log in and be able to access Bash (CMD for Windows), you put them in something like NOTEPAD.EXE. | 00:33 |
| Wavelight | yes, sure that comand line is far more powerfull, it-s harder untill you learn it | 00:33 |
| Strategos | Wavelight: So they can't feasibly do anything that would be "bad" for the system. | 00:34 |
| Strategos | Wavelight: Well, that's subjective. ;) | 00:34 |
| Strategos | Wavelight: "Hard" is based on how motivated you are to learn it and how experienced you are with command line interface before getting into it. | 00:34 |
| PaloDelCalo | porcelle notturne vogliose a me! | 00:34 |
| Strategos | Wavelight: DOS (and the Windows command prompt) are something I spent the last 20 years using, so I'm not uncomfortable learning it. But I can't stand VI. | 00:35 |
| Strategos | Wavelight: But alas, everyone knows VI. So I'm learning it. | 00:35 |
| Strategos | VI is one of the few constants in the *nix world. :) | 00:35 |
| Wavelight | I-ve had a pc with dos for about an year or so, anyway comand line is a for sure for people that know what they are doing | 00:36 |
| Wavelight | to be honest, desktop distros are brainwasing users | 00:36 |
| Wavelight | :} | 00:36 |
| Strategos | Wavelight: Aye, it's a powerful tool to know how to use. some of my coworkers rave about the new powershell that Microsoft rolled out too. | 00:37 |
| Wavelight | easy, but you have no ideea what- behind it | 00:37 |
| Strategos | Wavelight: They're lowering their expectations of what end users need to know how to do; "dumbing down". When I saw Windows 7, I wanted to migrate. When I saw Windows 8, I knew I was migrating. | 00:37 |
| Strategos | So a Linux admin, a PC user, and a Mac user walk into a bar. The bartender asks, "What is this, a joke?" | 00:39 |
| sarsaeol | i like that the linux is an admin, but the pc and mac are just users | 00:40 |
| sarsaeol | ha | 00:40 |
| Wavelight | :} | 00:40 |
| Wavelight | Strategos, I-ve had an ideea about how you can point if a system is hacked or no, it-s a very simple ideea | 00:41 |
| Wavelight | please listen | 00:42 |
| Wavelight | I don-t know about nothing of informatincs | 00:42 |
| Wavelight | but | 00:42 |
| Code_Bleu | can someone help me figure out why my computer just randomly locks up? sometimes it gives me a kernel panic screen, other times it just locks up and monitor is blank and leds flash on keyboard (scroll and caps) I have tried looking at all the /var/log files but i can find anything | 00:43 |
| blackshirt | wavelight,change the login shell to nologin shell, | 00:43 |
| Wavelight | if all the web pages would have a ""fingerprint"" like www.ubuntu.com has exactly 1 mb for example | 00:43 |
| Code_Bleu | i have ran memtest, hd test, and have upgraded from JeOS 9.04 server to 12.04 | 00:43 |
| Strategos | Code_Bleu: My first guess would be that it's an issue with your RAM. Specifically, the RAM and the motherboard aren't getting along. Either it's mismatched speeds on the sticks, or the RAM sticks aren't compatible with the motherbard. | 00:44 |
| Strategos | My next guess would be a video card issue. | 00:44 |
| Wavelight | and I measure the exact amount of transfer beetween the pc and the server, I would see for sure if a few bits are added or no | 00:44 |
| Code_Bleu | Strategos: this is a server that i have had for a while now and it has always worked. Im wanting to say atleast 2 or 3 years | 00:45 |
| pepperjack | Code_Bleu: did you see this in 9.04 as well or not until you upgraded? | 00:46 |
| Strategos | Wavelight: If I had to guess, IP transfer traffic will always have a slightly higher count for bits/bytes because of header information. | 00:46 |
| Vermicelli | I'm having trouble getting my Humble Bundle to install with Ubuntu Software Center. I get a "Not Found," for each title, which oddly enough while not found may or may not have ratings. | 00:46 |
| Code_Bleu | Strategos: it just started doing this, and nothing had changed that im aware of. This server just runs and i hadnt done any updates to it...it runs vbox and one vm on there...thats it | 00:46 |
| Vermicelli | http://i.imgur.com/GkUyX.png | 00:46 |
| Strategos | Code_Bleu: Thank you for the clarification on that. That is certainly unusual. | 00:47 |
| Code_Bleu | pepperjack: no, i did all the upgrading to see if it would fix the issue. I had been on 9.04 since it came out and it has worked forever...just in the past few weeks has it randomly started crashing...and it seems to be getting worse | 00:47 |
| aguitel_ | the fan is not stop in my laptop ,how fix this? | 00:47 |
| Wavelight | yes, I understand, but it-s possible to take them into account with great precision, no ? | 00:48 |
| Strategos | Atuitel: Replace the fan. | 00:48 |
| Strategos | Atuitel: It's not uncommon for fans to stop working. They're not overly expensive parts. | 00:48 |
| Strategos | Atuitel: If you're paying someone to do it, you're likely to spend more in labor than the actual part. | 00:48 |
| Code_Bleu | i have ran smarttools to check the hd and it comes back ok., i have ran fsck on all the partitions..and its good. i ran memtest, but not for a long time. Usually bad memory is detected right away | 00:49 |
| blackshirt | code_bleu, what the messages appears when your kernel panic lastly? | 00:49 |
| Strategos | Wavelight: Probably. To be honest, I don't specialize in this area. So I don't know that I could give you an answer that would be overly helpful. | 00:49 |
| Vermicelli | I think aguitel_ said the fan doesn't stop running, not that it has stopped. | 00:49 |
| Code_Bleu | i just wished i knew how to get the dumps/logs so i could troubleshoot it...however im not finding anything usefull in /var/log/message /var/log/syslog/ ..etc. | 00:50 |
| pepperjack | Code_Bleu: well if you saw it between that many versions then its a hardware issue of some sort. once I noticed that all the video on one of my pcs had artifacts all of a sudden. I did everything to figure out what the problem was with what driver. turned out it was one of the cores id unlocked in bios on my cpu. worked for 2 years and then all of a sudden caused problems | 00:50 |
| Code_Bleu | blackshirt: the last 10+ times i dont get a panic...just black monitor..monitor led flashes...and sometimes the keyboard has scroll lock and caps lock flashing..i just have to hit the power button and reboot | 00:50 |
| Wavelight | Strategos- no problem, I was just wondering if all the webpages and all the services on the internet would have some special syncronisation it would be very very dificult for hacker to act in silence | 00:51 |
| blackshirt | code_bleu, can you switch to other console, i mean hit ctrl+alt+f2 for example | 00:51 |
| Wavelight | for example I open a webapge, I don-t know what size it has and what contains | 00:52 |
| Strategos | Wavelight: Aye. Though keep in mind, most of your would-be hackers are "script kiddies". | 00:52 |
| Code_Bleu | blackshirt: no..its a complete lock up..no ssh..etc | 00:52 |
| Wavelight | it-s a jungle | 00:52 |
| Strategos | Welcome to the jungle. We got fun and games. | 00:52 |
| Strategos | Suddenly, I realize that I feel old. | 00:52 |
| Strategos | Wow. I've quoted an old man's song. | 00:53 |
| Wavelight | no problem, I use someking of freez for my operating system | 00:53 |
| Wavelight | :} | 00:53 |
| Strategos | :} | 00:53 |
| Wavelight | I have no problems with hackers | 00:53 |
| blackshirt | code_bleu, is your magic sysrq functioning? | 00:53 |
| PatrickJameson | hey all, I'm attempting to change my xorg config to turn off my laptop screen when there's an external monitor attached | 00:53 |
| PatrickJameson | here's my config file: http://pastie.org/4756857 | 00:54 |
| PatrickJameson | I changed line 51/52 | 00:54 |
| blackshirt | wavelight, exactly, i don't understand what is your need..sure | 00:54 |
| PatrickJameson | it seems to work when I'm on the log in screen | 00:54 |
| Strategos | Hackers have a purpose, sort of like predators do. They point out where our weaknesses are, and provide us an opportunity to learn. There's even a certification for Certified EthicalHacker. | 00:54 |
| PatrickJameson | but as soon as I log in, it switches back to my laptop screen | 00:54 |
| Wavelight | by the way, Strategos, please tell me if I can use some king of freez for Ubuntu Server | 00:54 |
| aguitel_ | Vermicelli,and the raviole ? | 00:55 |
| Code_Bleu | blackshirt: whats that? | 00:55 |
| blackshirt | patrickjameson, i think you messed up some file on your home dir | 00:55 |
| PatrickJameson | which file do you think that is? | 00:55 |
| PatrickJameson | I backed up the one in /etc/X11 and edited that one | 00:56 |
| Strategos | Wavelight: If you're using Ubuntu server, you have it covered like a jimmy hat. | 00:56 |
| blackshirt | code_blue, thats internal linux mechanism to allow the panic kernel to do some safe step | 00:56 |
| PatrickJameson | ...actually if there's an xorg config file in my home dir will it over ride? | 00:57 |
| PatrickJameson | cause that's where I happened to back it up ;D | 00:57 |
| Code_Bleu | blackshirt: so when it locks up again, just press that key on keyboard? | 00:57 |
| Wavelight | I don-t user a Ubuntu Server, I don-t understand you have covered like a jimmy hat | 00:57 |
| Wavelight | lol | 00:57 |

| ubottu | Code_Bleu: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key | 01:00 |
| blackshirt | code_blue, you should find a lot of informations | 01:00 |
| Code_Bleu | zykotick9: thanks. im assuming this is only for soft lock ups? | 01:02 |
| craigbass1976 | Ok, I give up. I installed hplip off the hplip open source site, and everything looks like it went hunky dory.

| === lkthomas_ is now known as lkthomas | ||
| Code_Bleu | zykotick9: this is good to know for cleanly shutting down or rebooting, but how do i figure out what caused the lock up in the first place? | 01:02 |

| PatrickJameson | ? | 01:03 |
| zykotick9 | Code_Bleu: don't know how you can find out cause... only use reisub for emergencies, not just regular shutdown/reboot! | 01:03 |
| === marcelo is now known as Guest40474 | ||
| blackshirt | patrickjameson, ls -la your home dir, and look at .ICEauthority files .... Is that files owned by root? | 01:04 |
| Code_Bleu | zykotick9: yes i understand only use this for emergency when pc is locked up. right now ive just been hitting power button and turning back on. Im not worried about clean shutdown, i want to figure out why it doing this in the first place and i cant find any logs saying what is causing it. | 01:05 |
| zykotick9 | Code_Bleu: i know ubuntu uses 2 logs for kernel these days (but i'm affraid i don't know the names) | 01:06 |
| blackshirt | code_blue, maybe you want to look at dmesg log, boot log, syslog, messages | 01:06 |
| === xubuntu is now known as Guest52867 | ||
| zykotick9 | Code_Bleu: syslog and messages i guess... so you probably already checked them... | 01:07 |

| PatrickJameson | owned by me | 01:07 |
| Code_Bleu | blackshirt: i have :( | 01:07 |
| Code_Bleu | blackshirt: when it kernel panics / locks up...does it actually write something to a log? do i need to configure something so it will? | 01:08 |
| blackshirt | code_blue, are you using desktop or server version? | 01:08 |
| Code_Bleu | blackshirt: can i possible get this info from using the sysrq key combo? | 01:08 |
| Code_Bleu | blackshirt: server JeOS | 01:09 |
| Wavelight | Strategos, thank you very much for your informations, have a nice evening | 01:10 |
| Wavelight | all the best | 01:10 |
| blackshirt | code_blue... I don't think so..thats way for emmergency lock ups.. I don't know that was logged or not | 01:11 |
| aguitel_ | how install java | 01:12 |
| zykotick9 | !java | aguitel_ | 01:12 |
| ubottu | aguitel_: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 01:12 |
| Code_Bleu | blackshirt: my setup is: JeOS server (12.04 now) with virtualbox running, i have one vm (pfsense) that is used as my router/firewall. so needless to say, it sucks when this server crashes..i have to bring it back up and google..:) | 01:12 |
| Code_Bleu | im not running anything else that i can think of on the ubuntu host server..just whatever is needed for vbox. This is why i said earlier, that nothing should have changed...if this is up and my router is working, i dont mess with it. | 01:15 |
| blackshirt | code_blue, maybe thats related some hardware interupt issues .. You should analyze them | 01:15 |
| Floorduck | I had installed linux on the laptop I am about to return. Using a liveCD of lubuntu, I just deleted the old linux partitions. When I send it back, will it still be clear enough that linux had been installed for them to notice? | 01:16 |
| Floorduck | Should I create and format this newly freed space and then delete the new partition? | 01:17 |
| Code_Bleu | blackshirt: what do you mean? what is related to hardware interupt issues? | 01:18 |
| examancer | Floorduck: Most manufacturers will not refuse returns or warranty service because you messed with the OS | 01:18 |
| |Anthony| | what is the dev chan? | 01:18 |
| Floorduck | alrighty, I'd just like to make sure | 01:19 |
| blackshirt | code_blue, i mean, maybe some hardware issue that couldn'tt handle correctly..i don't exactly | 01:19 |
| Floorduck | and still, I'd be curious to know the answer just out of curiosity :) | 01:19 |
| blackshirt | i dont know exactly | 01:19 |
| examancer | Floorduck: but, they have no reason to try and examine what you put on it. Removing the partitions will be sufficient to make it way more effort to find out than they would ever exert. | 01:19 |
| Floorduck | okay, I have a new problem :P | 01:19 |
| Floorduck | So I just deleted the partitions and I've rebooted... | 01:19 |
| Floorduck | It says: "error: no such partition" | 01:20 |
| examancer | As someone who's worked for a computer manufacturer and done service work, I guarantee they are going to re-image it anyways. | 01:20 |
| PatrickJameson | blackshirt: it was owned by me. is that a good thing? | 01:20 |
| Floorduck | "grub rescue>" | 01:21 |
| Code_Bleu | blackshirt: i know i could just start replacing stuff ( video card, nic's, mem...etc, but 1. i dont have extra of everything, 2. that would be a pain to do. I just wished i had some logs or something that pointed me to an area first | 01:21 |
| Code_Bleu | blackshirt: what about cpu? is there any recommendations on testing if the cpu is going bad? Ive always been under the impression that cpus either work or they dont though | 01:22 |
| === matias is now known as Guest26520 | ||
| blackshirt | code_blue, what machine are you using? Xb6? | 01:24 |
| blackshirt | i mean x86 | 01:24 |
| examancer | Code_Bleu: They can have various errata that either do or do not affect accuracy, performance, heat, etc. | 01:24 |
| === Guest26520 is now known as djthree | ||
| Code_Bleu | yes, x86 hp d530 cmt | 01:25 |
| Code_Bleu | examancer: true | 01:25 |
| examancer | Code_Bleu: you just need to use process of elimination. Move the CPU to another computer if you can find one that is the same socket. Test the RAM, test using a new Heatsink/Fan, or maybe just the grease/adhesive | 01:25 |
| blackshirt | code_blue, is that lock ups too on single mode user? | 01:26 |
| Code_Bleu | blackshirt: yes | 01:26 |
| examancer | if the CPU doesn't act up in another computer, its probably not the CPU | 01:26 |
| Code_Bleu | examancer: i dont have the extra equip. to test. im pretty sure its not over heating too. ram has been tested for a few min with memtest | 01:27 |
| blackshirt | code_blue... You should analyze your log recorded, | 01:27 |
| examancer | Floorduck: so you still have GRUB on your master boot record it looks like? | 01:27 |
| Code_Bleu | blackshirt: i will again, but i have looked at all of them and searched for panic, kernel...etc and have found nothing...i will keep looking though | 01:28 |
| blackshirt | i have experiences with some issues like yours,but maybe thats was different | 01:28 |
| examancer | Code_Bleu: I'd recommend letting the memtest do at least 1 complete test cycle | 01:28 |
| examancer | I've had bad RAM that didn't show errors in memtest until near the end of a test cycle | 01:29 |
| Floorduck | I guess so... what should I do? | 01:29 |
| examancer | so the first 10 minutes everything would be fine, but then closer to the end it would fail | 01:29 |
| blackshirt | code_blue... And check your all cable, disk, memory, etc..and everything on place correctly | 01:29 |

| Code_Bleu | blackshirt: will do, i have not taken it all apart yet, but the next time it crashes i will reseat everything. | 01:30 |

| examancer | Code_Bleu: what is your computer doing? I had one that was random restarting/segfaulting. That was the instance where I memtested a few times and didn't see any errors after a while so I didn't finish. The RAM turned out to be bad. | 01:34 |

| examancer | Code_Bleu: only sure way is process of elimination... coming up with ways to try and rule out various peices of hardware | 01:39 |
| examancer | if you have two hard drives, for instance, unplug one for a while and run the computer hard (maybe a benchmark)... see if the behavior persists | 01:39 |
| examancer | then do the same with the other drive | 01:39 |
| Code_Bleu | examancer: thats what i was afraid of | 01:39 |
| examancer | (sometimes bad hard drives can cause stability problems too) | 01:40 |
| zykotick9 | examancer: isn't Code_Bleu using a vm? kinda rules out hardware if host didn't crash. | 01:41 |

| Logos01 | PatrickJameson: Recent Ubuntu versions don't really use Xorg.conf. They use different setups which to be honest I'm not 100% familiar with. But you *COULD* use some conditional xrandr settings in your ~/.profile to achieve the effect you're after. | 01:52 |

| PatrickJameson | how to tell if the screen is connected and how to stop the screen from going black when I shut my laptop | 02:11 |
| jakepetroules | 12.04.1, the latest | 02:11 |
| === zz_megabitdragon is now known as megabitdragon | ||
| Logos01 | PatrickJameson: the screen going black is an advanced power control setting. | 02:11 |
| PatrickJameson | I tried setting that | 02:11 |
| PatrickJameson | many have complained that it isn't working | 02:11 |
| Logos01 | As to how to tell if the screen is connected... | 02:12 |
| Logos01 | You'll have to do a conditional test on the number of screens via xrandr. | 02:12 |
| jrib | Logos01: fwiw, ufw enable; iptables -F; ufw disable; ufw enable, seems to restore the ufw rules fine... | 02:12 |
| jakepetroules | bkerensa: oh and its ubuntu server edition. the one on amazon ec2 | 02:12 |
| PatrickJameson | yup, just need to figure that out. I'm sure its in this documentation somewhere | 02:12 |
| bkerensa | jakepetroules: I would file a bug so a developer can have a look | 02:12 |
| Logos01 | PatrickJameson: [ "$(xrandr | grep '^Screen 1') != "" ] | 02:13 |
| jakepetroules | bkerensa: ok where do i file | 02:13 |
| Logos01 | PatrickJameson: [ "$(xrandr | grep '^Screen 1')" != "" ] rather | 02:13 |
| PatrickJameson | Logos01: yup, I figured that would be an option | 02:13 |
| jrib | Logos01: and so does "iptables -F; service restart ufw" (assuming ufw is enabled) | 02:13 |
| Logos01 | That is a test statement that checks the output of the xrandr command for the presence of a line that begins with the text, 'Screen 1' | 02:13 |
| PatrickJameson | the screen going black is a bit annoying | 02:13 |
| Logos01 | jrib: No, that last didn't. | 02:13 |
| NiteRain | Logos01: sudo ufw status | 02:14 |
| Logos01 | It | 02:14 |
| Logos01 | It's enabled. | 02:14 |
| NiteRain | is it enabled? | 02:14 |
| jrib | Logos01: well did my first suggestion work? If not then you need to be pastebinning more info | 02:14 |
| Logos01 | PatrickJameson: Might possibly be a screensaver. You wouldn't by any chance be using LXDE? | 02:14 |

| minetruly | Hi! This is my first time using IRC. I'm considering switching to Ubuntu. I'm willing to lean computer programming. If you don't mind talking to a total newbie, do any of you have words of wisdom for me? | 02:32 |
| blackshirt | minetruly: yes, welcome to ubuntu channel... | 02:33 |
| minetruly | Thank you, blackshirt. | 02:33 |
| gogeta | minetruly: programing for linux = easy to port to windows | 02:33 |
| blackshirt | minetruly: if you have problems related to your ubuntu, you can just ask here, or maybe you want to help someone with trouble | 02:34 |
| gogeta | minetruly: the other way around can be diffcult | 02:34 |
| sprinklekitten | This channel seems too crowded | 02:34 |
| gogeta | sprinklekitten: lol | 02:34 |
| minetruly | What does "port" mean? (Sorry, I'm such a beginner! I promise I learn quickly.) | 02:34 |
| mangdood_ | I want to install software from the source code and I remember using some software to add it to the package management system. Is this recommended and any idea what it might be called? | 02:35 |
| crimsonmane | you do not need to learn programming in order to use Linux. | 02:35 |
| sprinklekitten | I don't even think anyone noticed my question from earlier. I have literally been staring at this feed for 10 mins | 02:35 |
| blackshirt | sprinklekitten: what you mean with too crowded... | 02:35 |
| WeThePeople | minetruly, port for networking in and out of the computer | 02:35 |
| minetruly | What if it's not compatible with something i want to use, or doesn't run well enough with my computer's hardware? | 02:35 |
| cappicard | http://pastebin.com/w8p4n1Qc | 02:35 |
| mangdood_ | sprinklekitten: Often people don't really know the answer | 02:35 |
| minetruly | WeThePeople, thank you, I understand. | 02:35 |
| blackshirt | sprinklekitten: I'm just sitting here for a seconds... | 02:35 |
| WeThePeople | minetruly, their are over 65000 ports on the computer | 02:35 |
| jrib | !compile | mangdood_ | 02:35 |
| ubottu | mangdood_: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first). Also read !checkinstall | 02:35 |
| jrib | mangdood_: probably checkinstall, but it's better to build (or find) a proper package | 02:36 |
| minetruly | 65000? Why so many? I get the basics like your email goes out one port, or you could specify another.... | 02:36 |
| crimsonmane | WeThePeople: PORT was used not in that sense. it was used to mean "convert to run on another platform" | 02:36 |
| mangdood_ | jrib: Yeah, but I need a software package for a course and it's not offered in the repos | 02:36 |
| crimsonmane | minetruly: please don't let these people confuse you. there is no reason to learn programming to use linux. | 02:36 |
| WeThePeople | ok?? | 02:37 |
| WeThePeople | whatever | 02:37 |
| sprinklekitten | well, I don't want to spam everyone with the same. should I continue to wait | 02:37 |
| gogeta | crimsonmane: tought he was referring to using linux as his platform | 02:37 |
| sprinklekitten | same question* | 02:37 |
| blackshirt | sprinklekitten: what is your problem ? | 02:37 |
| ActionParsnip | sprinklekitten: whats up? | 02:37 |
| jrib | sprinklekitten: you should just repeat your question ~10 minutes instead of asking if it's been seen | 02:37 |
| minetruly | Thanks crimsonmane. It'll be nice to use it without hassle. But, I really am planning on learning how to program, and dealing with Linux would be as good a place to start as any. | 02:37 |
| crimsonmane | gogeta: no, someone else said "port" to him as in "programming on linux = easy port to windows" | 02:37 |
| minetruly | I'd love to be able to tweak things. | 02:37 |
| sprinklekitten | I was experiencing problems with a version of mac os x I reinstalled on an old macbook and so I decided to try out Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I want to re-install mac osx but the install discs continue to fail. I downloaded a .dmg file and want to create a bootable usb drive. Any suggestions on the best method to do this? | 02:38 |
| gogeta | crimsonmane: i did | 02:38 |
| ActionParsnip | sprinklekitten: if you are having issues with mac installation then you should ask in #apple or #macos | 02:38 |
| crimsonmane | gogeta: in that sense, "port" does not refer to what WeThePeople was defining. | 02:38 |
| jrib | sprinklekitten: well part of the problem is that it's not clear how that is even an ubuntu question... | 02:38 |
| gogeta | crimsonmane: lol no | 02:38 |
| jagginess | linux on mac? | 02:38 |
| minetruly | Also, I'm done tolerating the glitches Windows gives me. I want the ability to get my hands around a problem until I've strangled it. | 02:38 |
| minetruly | And, you know, solved it. | 02:38 |
| gogeta | minetruly: unfortanly glitces are on everything. | 02:39 |
| ActionParsnip | minetruly: try ubuntu-tweak and myunity | 02:39 |
| minetruly | But with Linux, can't you get in there and manually fix the glitches? | 02:39 |
| crimsonmane | minetruly: no. | 02:39 |
| ActionParsnip | minetruly: gogeta: every OS sucks | 02:39 |
| minetruly | Parsnip, thank you, Crimsonmane, what's the significance of ports? | 02:39 |
| sprinklekitten | It is a ubuntu question. Is there a program in ubuntu that I can use to format a disc image and place on a usb drive | 02:39 |
| ActionParsnip | minetruly: ports in what sense? | 02:40 |
| jagginess | sprinklekitten, linux on mac? | 02:40 |
| crimsonmane | minetruly: there isn't any significance you need to concern yourself with. if you wanna learn linux you need to install it and read the commands manual. | 02:40 |
| minetruly | What are Ubuntu's biggest downfalls? | 02:40 |
| sprinklekitten | Linux | 02:40 |
| gogeta | minetruly: if you mean can you dig into the system and find the problem of course | 02:40 |
| jagginess | minetruly, biggest downfalls is not installing it | 02:40 |
| minetruly | Haha | 02:40 |
| WeThePeople | minetruly, everything is free | 02:40 |
| jrib | minetruly: this channel is really meant for technical support, could you please ask your more general questions in #ubuntu-offtopic? | 02:40 |
| jagginess | minetruly, biggest downfall, is most kids would never donate because they're so dam selfish | 02:41 |

| minetruly | Recognize common problems as common problems and not some weird thing that's specific to my hardware | 02:41 |
| jagginess | sprinklekitten, refit, you'll need that on mac to get linux to boot | 02:42 |
| minetruly | Crimson, you are by far giving the best advice. | 02:42 |
| crimsonmane | You're going to have huge headaches while you learn linux. I promise you that. | 02:42 |
| FloodBot1 | !netsplit | 02:42 |

| jrib | minetruly: please move your discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic. | 02:44 |
| gogeta | minetruly: with any luck none | 02:44 |
| crimsonmane | minetruly: nope. you should come here tho when you have troubles. | 02:44 |
| ActionParsnip | minetruly: all OSes can and do go wrong | 02:44 |
| minetruly | Does it... does it have less troubles than Windows? | 02:44 |
| crimsonmane | depends on how you look at it. | 02:45 |
| crimsonmane | it has "different" troubles than windows | 02:45 |
| ActionParsnip | minetruly: depends on how you use it | 02:45 |
| minetruly | I guess my biggest concern is whether it will use my quad core and my touchscreen and such optimally. | 02:45 |
| billc | where do u get the terminal commands | 02:45 |
| jagginess | sprinklekitten, it's called refind->http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/ | 02:45 |
| sprinklekitten | I hate my old macbook and love ubuntu but I need mac osx for certain programs I need. Don't worry though. I will be booting Ubuntu from a disc after I have osx reinstalled on my HD | 02:45 |
| gogeta | minetruly: good chance the tuchscreen will be a issue | 02:45 |
| minetruly | Can you highlight some of its troubles? | 02:45 |
| crimsonmane | no | 02:45 |
| jagginess | sprinklekitten, you can shrink the hfs+ with the osx installer media. then use gparted live cd to add ext4+swap | 02:46 |
| crimsonmane | I'm sorry I really want you to try linux, but the sales and customer service department is that way. this is tech support. | 02:46 |
| minetruly | Sprinklekitten, I've seen a Macbook boot Ubuntu, you can dual boot from the same hard drive, I think. | 02:46 |
| crimsonmane | ()i'm kidding, of course() | 02:46 |
| jagginess | sprinklekitten, if it's ppc, then i'm not sure if refind/refit support that. | 02:46 |
| * jagginess can tripleboot a macbook with refit/refind | 02:47 | |
| ActionParsnip | minetruly: the desktop OS can manage up to 32 cores if memory serves. Quad core isn't anything fancy | 02:47 |
| sprinklekitten | I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 right now. I'm just trying to reinstall OSX without the discs haha | 02:47 |
| gogeta | minetruly: apples tend to be a bit tempermental when it comes to getting linux up and running | 02:47 |
| minetruly | Crimson, you won't scare me away. I'm going to install it. I'm just asking so I have a heads up. I want a general feel for the OS, and while I can get it by just downloading the thing, why not ask some experts for their take on it? | 02:47 |
| ActionParsnip | minetruly: the touch screen may be an issue but it depends on the controller for it. I suggest you boot a liveCD OS and test there, it won't modify your installed OS | 02:48 |
| jagginess | sprinklekitten, ya.. you probably can boot snowleopard off usb.. but i know mountain lion can.. the osx DiskUTility.. but this is goind off topic.. | 02:48 |
| minetruly | Can't Quad core allow you to run more applications at once? I'm one of those people who has a dozen applications open and 200 tabs in Firefox. | 02:48 |
| mwmnj | ... | 02:48 |
| crimsonmane | my "expert" opinion will get me booted from chat here, minetruly. | 02:48 |
| ActionParsnip | minetruly: yes, you'll also need RAM to hold the running apps, not just raw CPU speed | 02:49 |
| minetruly | I have 8 gigs. | 02:49 |
| sprinklekitten | jagginess, Thanks for your help. I will make my way to #apple to see if they can help me | 02:49 |
| ActionParsnip | minetruly: thats more than enough for Ubuntu, the libs are reused so RAM use is low | 02:49 |
| minetruly | Isn't it not so much the speed, and more that the multiple processors allow more processes to run at the same time? | 02:49 |
| gogeta | minetruly: A multi-core processor is a single computing component with two or more independent actual central processing units | 02:50 |
| ActionParsnip | minetruly: I run a full desktop and use less than 400Mb | 02:50 |
| crimsonmane | running many apps = 80% ram, 20% cpu | 02:50 |
| gogeta | minetruly: and you wanna program | 02:50 |
| ActionParsnip | minetruly: the RAM holds the processes as they run, so more RAM means more processes, CPU just means they will run smoother. CPU doesn't determine how many concurrent apps you can run | 02:51 |
| minetruly | gogeta: yes, but I'm not going to kid myself into thinking I can do anything well so soon. | 02:51 |

| === troy_ is now known as Troy^ | ||

| FooFlyer | hi guys, i have a question, iḿ really new in ubuntu, iḿ trying to install apache http server, but i dont know which is the best place to place my folder installation | 02:55 |
| ActionParsnip | FooFlyer: the defaults will be fine | 02:55 |
| bazhang | FooFlyer, use the package manager, it will do it for you | 02:56 |
| FooFlyer | the deafults?? which?? | 02:56 |
| ActionParsnip | FooFlyer: use the package manager and it will install all you need | 02:56 |
| FooFlyer | well ive downloaded the tar version | 02:56 |
| FooFlyer | i would like to install from the tar version | 02:57 |
| ChibaPet | FooFlyer: The Debian (and hence Ubuntu) package manager has a very nice way to manage Apache site configurations. You want to learn it and use it. Install the package using your package manager and dig into what it installs. | 02:57 |
| ChibaPet | FooFlyer: You don't want the tar version. | 02:57 |
| ChibaPet | FooFlyer: Once you've installed the packaged version, dpkg -L apache-package-name and you'll see where to look. | 02:57 |
| ChibaPet | FooFlyer: The big win using the packaged version is that you'll get security updates more easily, which is absolutely critical for a web server. | 02:58 |

| pyrokinetic | hi everyone. recently removed my windows 7 partition and am now running ubuntu 12.04 full time, unfortunately I now have a TON of unallocated space that I can't seem to use, tried running gparted from liveCD and disabled swap so I could expand my extended partition, which worked, but now I just have unallocated space (along with my 'normal' partitions) within my extended partition...a little help would be super. | 03:01 |
| ns_nazri | i have ubuntu 12.04, ubuntu can support usb 3.0 | 03:01 |
| crimsonmane | pyrokinetic: you need to boot to a LiveCD in order to resize the partition. the drive cannot be mounted when you resize it, which means you can't be using it as your operating system at the time you resize it. | 03:01 |
| wilee-nilee | pyrokinetic, you can resize all partitions using the same method. | 03:02 |
| wilee-nilee | a live cd | 03:02 |
| pyrokinetic | crimsonmane: I did do it from livecd but couldn't move the sliders across. | 03:02 |
| gogeta | pyrokinetic: using the luve cd you should be able to give linux all the free space | 03:02 |
| crimsonmane | pyrokinetic: the drive might have been mounted. | 03:02 |
| jagginess | pyrokinetic, usually it's very hard to work with the extended partition, so people work best only at 4 partitions max (especially true on msdos partition style table-- but this worry doesnt exist on GPT) | 03:03 |
| jagginess | pyrokinetic, and i mean 4 "primary" partitions.. | 03:03 |
| gogeta | Pryon: if your just running ubuntu delete extended | 03:03 |
| jagginess | (gpt only uses primary partitions) | 03:03 |
| gogeta | think he left | 03:04 |
| jagginess | gogeta, um.. i think he means ubuntu is inside this extended partition | 03:04 |
| pyrokinetic | hmmm. thanks jagginess. crimsonmane I think it wasn't mounted, it showed up in nautilus down the left hand side but didn't show as 'mounted'...if that makes sense? | 03:04 |
| gogeta | jagginess: oh thats gonna be a mess | 03:04 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| ActionParsnip | gogeta: Noooo! | 03:04 |
| crimsonmane | it's not supposed to be mounted | 03:04 |
| jagginess | pyrokinetic, if you just installed it, and there's no data to backup on the drive, the best /easiest solution-- would be less time to wipe out the drive and start from scratch | 03:05 |
| crimsonmane | ^ | 03:05 |
| jagginess | (which is like 20 minutes) | 03:05 |
| pyrokinetic | jagginess: I've used it for a while unfortunately and have quite a bit of stuff. I thought about doing that tho | 03:05 |
| ns_nazri | ubuntu can support usb 3.0 and thunderbolt | 03:05 |
| jagginess | pyrokinetic, well if there's alot of unallocated space, it's best to backup the data, and start from scratch :/ unfortunately.. | 03:06 |
| gogeta | pyrokinetic: yea extended is only nedded if you have more then 4 partations | 03:06 |
| jagginess | ns_nazri, thunderbolt is a kernel.org effort.. so if ubuntu cant do it, no other linux can | 03:06 |
| Will013 | Hi all, brand new to ubuntu, trying to copy a resolv.conf file to /mnt/etc/resolv.conf but the live cd doesn't seem to have the file? or I can't find it. | 03:06 |
| gogeta | pyrokinetic: its not ment for primary use | 03:07 |
| ns_nazri | jagginess: usb 3.0 | 03:07 |
| jagginess | gogeta, on msdos styled partitions. ('extended' doest exist on gpt) | 03:07 |
| pyrokinetic | gogeta: I never remember even selecting extended in the install, it just did it by default when I installed it....from what I remember | 03:07 |
| jagginess | ns_nazri, usb 3 is supported with the linux kernel, maybe you should ask on #linux.. it's not strictly a ubuntu issue | 03:08 |
| ns_nazri | ok thank you | 03:08 |
| jagginess | ns_nazri, ubuntu is more like the user desktop experience.. and if ubuntu has usb3 it's because of kernel.org (and any other linux would have it) | 03:08 |
| gogeta | pyrokinetic: wow what a pain. if it was on primary this issue would not even happon | 03:08 |
| Will013 | Is there a quick way to determine if i'm missing the resolv.conf file on the live cd? | 03:09 |
| pyrokinetic | gogeta: what I don't understand is this, I only have linux installed.......no other primary partitions, I just have sda3 and the rest are all logical drives | 03:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Will013: file /etc/resolv.conf | 03:09 |
| Nautilus__ | unusually quiet here! | 03:10 |
| jagginess | pyrokinetic, i thought you were talking about unallocated space outside the extended partition | 03:10 |
| jagginess | pyrokinetic, if its only unallocated data within extended.. you shuold be able to resize the logical partitions within | 03:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Will013: it will either say ASCII text (or similar) or an error about missing file | 03:10 |
| Will013 | cannot copy /etc/resolv.conf no such file directory | 03:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Will013: /etc/resolv.conf is a symlink | 03:12 |
| pyrokinetic | jagginess: sorry, I didn't explain very well....I have a screenshot on ubuntuforums.org (and a thread there under general help) ...not sure if you have an account there but it might illustrate my problem a bit better | 03:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Will013: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1216067/ | 03:12 |
| Will013 | ok, i'm brand new to ubuntu what's a symlink and why is this a problem? | 03:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Will013: a symlink is like a windows shortcut but a million times more useful | 03:13 |
| jagginess | pyrokinetic, i dont think i need a screenshot.. you can do-> fdisk -l<enter> | 03:14 |
| Will013 | should you be able to run the internet on a live cd? | 03:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Will013: if there are drivers and such, then yes | 03:15 |
| pyrokinetic | jagginess: err, the command works but....nothing happens. | 03:15 |
| ns_nazri | ubuntu can play games same windows | 03:15 |
| jagginess | Will013, the live cd can do dhcp if i remember correctly | 03:15 |
| jagginess | pyrokinetic, maybe use it with sudo | 03:15 |
| Will013 | dhcp? | 03:15 |
| ns_nazri | help me | 03:15 |
| jagginess | Will013, a real ubuntu means it's not a live-cd. | 03:16 |
| jagginess | Will013, use the real thing.. | 03:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Will013: what about it, namng random protocols is far from productive | 03:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Will013: icmp? | 03:16 |

| jagginess | pyrokinetic, so use gparted live cd and grow /dev/sda5 .. if this is "/" then you'll need to rerun grub-install /dev/sda | 03:19 |
| jagginess | or use boot rescue iso etc.. if you want the easier way | 03:19 |
| Rug | when you run a command like: add-apt-repository it doesn't edit the file: /etc/apt/sources.list .... What does it edit, and/or how do I 'fix' a mistake I entered? | 03:20 |

| pyrokinetic | jagginess: and my unallocated space also doesn't show up anywhere in the paste, but I'm guessing that's normal? or not.. | 03:21 |
| jagginess | pyrokinetic, well can you move /boot with gparted ? it wouldnt even be a hundred meg | 03:22 |
| Rug | I have followed a few guides but still cannot get kontact to sync with Google. Any suggestions on what to do? | 03:22 |

| Anusien | I have ushare installed, and it created a /etc/init.d/ushare. How do I configure this to run automatically at boot? | 03:44 |
| zykotick9 | Anusien: 1) i have NO idea what ushare is 2) FYI /etc/init.d is the old sysv - ubuntu uses upstart. good luck. | 03:46 |
| === Youri is now known as YBook | ||
| Anusien | zykotick9: What ushare does is irrelevant, but it provides you with a name of a process. And upstart doesn't seem to play well with /etc/init.d/; you either have to convert from one to another or duplicate the effort. If you have upstart call the /etc/init.d/ file, it won't get the pid and be able to get status | 03:48 |

| k_sze | How do I move, recursively, files from a path /a/ to a path /b/ while preserving the file mode and ownership of files and directories seen in /b/ (the target directory)? | 03:56 |
| zykotick9 | k_sze: try -r and -a i believe | 03:56 |
| zykotick9 | k_sze: oh, for mv i don't think it matters, i was thinking cp | 03:57 |
| zykotick9 | k_sze: i'd use cp and test results before moving | 03:57 |
| k_sze | Does mv try to preserve the file modes and permissions from the source directory? | 03:57 |
| Nautilus | is it suitable to install phpmyadmin via the Software Center? | 03:58 |
| zykotick9 | k_sze: i believe so | 03:58 |
| bluej774 | Once upon a time there was an interactive OpenGL shader editor program available through the repositories. I forget its name and now I can't find it. Anybody know what I'm talking about? | 03:58 |
| Caradoc | k_sze: I use rsync for things like that, but it's takes a bit to learn | 03:59 |
| zykotick9 | Caradoc: +1 on rsync suggestion | 03:59 |
| bluej774 | I don't remember if it was for GLSL or cg, but that doesn't really matter. | 04:00 |
| Caradoc | k_sze: rync will do an intelligent, recursive copy, and if you do it again, it will only copy what changed | 04:01 |

| zykotick9 | miniCruzer: i don't know what it means. but, "wlan0: authentication with 4c:60:de:cf:d8:b6 timed out" is certainly not good. best of luck. | 04:03 |
| Xeus | the sticky bit | 04:03 |
| Xeus | chmod 0777 doesn't remove it | 04:04 |
| quiescens | Xeus: chmod g-s | 04:04 |
| Xeus | quiescens: thanks | 04:04 |
| k_sze | so yeah, `man rsync` says that -p "preserve permissions", but is it permissions of the target, or permissions of the source? | 04:04 |
| quiescens | k_sze: preserve permissions usually means it will try to make the target's permissions the same as they were at the source | 04:05 |
| jrib | Xeus: the chmod command you gave should also work | 04:05 |
| k_sze | so that's not what I want. :D | 04:05 |
| Caradoc | k_sze: rsync -av source dest // -a implies several other settings | 04:07 |
| Caradoc | k_sze: Oh, if you're trying to preserve the target permissions, that's harder. Usually you want to copy the source's permissions to the target. | 04:08 |
| k_sze | Caradoc: In my case, I don't. Hehe, because the target permissions and ownership were set by Fantastico already. | 04:08 |

| zykotick9 | mangdood_: not really. you're ALMOST, but not, talking about hard-links though | 04:10 |
| zykotick9 | mangdood_: hard-links can't cross partition bounds! | 04:10 |
| mangdood_ | zykotick9: Ah. So the most I can do is maintain soft-links to the contents of the folder I want. | 04:11 |
| zykotick9 | mangdood_: if it's on a different filesystem, then yes. | 04:11 |
| === DjGeCk0 is now known as ^GeCk0^ | ||
| zykotick9 | mangdood_: unless you use rsync/unison or whatever. | 04:12 |
| Caradoc | k_sze: In my experience, that's usually messy. Copy the files, then do a chmod -r to recursively change permissions, or chown -r to change owners, but then it will change everything to be the same. I'll leave it to somebody else if there is a better way. | 04:12 |
| Xeus | jrib: it didn't for some reason | 04:12 |
| Xeus | anywho the g-s worked, thanks | 04:12 |
| miniCruzer | zykotick9: I rebooted router, we'll see how long of a fix that is | 04:12 |
| mangdood_ | zykotick9: rsync would be too overkill for something like this, so it's fine. I think I'll just stick to symlinks then. Thanks | 04:12 |
| woot-0854 | mangdood_: ln -s /dir/file /new/dir/file | 04:13 |

| witakr | woot-0854, No, Plex is still not decting my media. Perhpps it was not an issue with permissions as I expected considering what you instructed me to do seems to ahve worked. | 04:34 |

| chamunks | mangdood_, I've downloaded "DownThemAll" addon for firefox and just stuck the hash directly into that so it checks as it downloads to confirm its correct. | 04:37 |

Is that a proof that extension was completlely remove or is it possible that there are some corrupted files somewhere else? | 04:39 |

| witakr | zykotick9, I am trying to set up Plex Media Server on my machine using my secondary HD as storage for my media. I have plex installed and running however it is not detecting my media. Any ideas? | 04:41 |
| woot-0854 | that was where I was trying to go with it | 04:41 |
| ActionParsnip | woot-0854: the changes will be lost next boot though | 04:41 |
| zykotick9 | witakr: i've seen your "plex media server" issue - i can't help. i have 0 idea what you need, but i guess it's SAMBA shares (and i don't help with that) | 04:42 |
| witakr | zykotick9, I understand. Thank you for your consideration. | 04:42 |
| woot-0854 | lol @ sticky bits :p | 04:42 |
| zykotick9 | witakr: but trying to change permissions on /dev stuff is certainly Alice ;) | 04:43 |
| witakr | Is there anyone here who is familiar with Plex media server and Plex media manager? I have them installed but PMM is not detecting my media on my secondary HD. | 04:43 |
| woot-0854 | witakr: is it apple? | 04:44 |
| nicaury | sorry look this problem i have ubuntu 12.04 server install with raid1 today i reboot the system and the system no boot and have this error "UNKNOWN LVM METADATA HEADER". how to fix? | 04:44 |

| witakr | woot-0854, I use only Xubuntu but I have had Win7, LinuxMind, and OpenSUSE installed and had no trouble accessing the drive. Furthermore, I am able to access and make changes to it in Xubuntu how ever my problem with Plex led me to believe there may be an issue with permissions. | 05:03 |
| zykotick9 | witakr: is it a upnp server you need? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Servers#UPNP_Mediaserver for 2 options. | 05:03 |

| witakr | Nautilus, No problem. Hope that helps. | 05:04 |
| woot-0854 | witakr: eek, not what I wanted to hear | 05:04 |
| Nautilus | is there a kbd shortcut? | 05:04 |
| witakr | Nautilus, yes but in setting it to auto-hide you can deduce how to undo that change. | 05:04 |
| Nautilus | witakr: I cant get to the settings page! | 05:05 |
| Nautilus | witakr: Ohhhh, right-click on dexktop. sorry | 05:05 |

| WACOMalt | What files do these tools actually edit? Specifically the broken compiz settings manager? Id rather just edit the configs and manually enable dbus access | 06:22 |
| nlkl | :) | 06:23 |
| WACOMalt | or cleanly disable it at this point, it seems to be 1/2 and 1/2 enabled | 06:23 |
| nickBuntu | hey all | 06:23 |
| nlkl | nickBuntu hi :) | 06:23 |
| nickBuntu | can someone tell me what i can't ftp into .gvfs dir? | 06:23 |
| nickBuntu | I have proftp setup on ubuntu 12.04 | 06:24 |
| usr13 | nickBuntu: localhost | 06:24 |
| nickBuntu | I want to provide ftp acces into the .gvfs folder so the files are downloadable/viewable via ftp | 06:24 |
| usr13 | nickBuntu: ftp localhost | 06:24 |
| usr13 | nickBuntu: So what is .gvfs? | 06:25 |
| smoothseas | works fine for me WACOM | 06:25 |
| WACOMalt | until it doesnt | 06:25 |
| WACOMalt | it worked fine for me for awhile too | 06:25 |
| WACOMalt | try enabling D-Bus | 06:25 |
| nickBuntu | .gvfs is Gnome Virtual File System for mounting smb;// without root | 06:25 |
| smoothseas | maybe something else caused YOUR problems | 06:26 |
| bazhang | WACOMalt, so file a bug. complaining here will accomplish nothing | 06:26 |
| WACOMalt | I'm not complaining.. I'm warning. | 06:26 |
| nickBuntu | I've tried symbolic links into the folder. wont work, permission denied messages | 06:26 |
| bazhang | WACOMalt, what exactly are you trying to do, be very clear. | 06:26 |
| usr13 | nickBuntu: Normally, services like ftp work on user access. | 06:26 |
| WACOMalt | I am trying to enable D-Bus access to Shutter (a promoted app in the software center) will work | 06:26 |
| nickBuntu | HHHmmmm I think the sudo is playing permissions | 06:27 |
| usr13 | nickBuntu: What exactly is .gvfs ? | 06:27 |
| WACOMalt | when I checked that box in compiz everything glitched out, unity crashed, and I had a heck of a time getting it back up to even uninstall compiz settings manager | 06:27 |
| nickBuntu | .gvfs is Gnome Virtual File system for mounting smb:// and other file systems | 06:27 |
| WACOMalt | It is certainly possible that something else caused it but from the error message it seems the d-bus settings are now borked, which seems logical that compiz settings manager caused since I checked the box only in that program | 06:28 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | do you guys deal with ubuntu cli here? | 06:28 |
| bazhang | gerbilcabbagehai, whats the real question | 06:28 |
| WACOMalt | In any case, my current question is how can I reset my compiz settings to default, and then manually enable D-Bus access, either through myunity, ubuntu tweak, or manually editing config files. | 06:29 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | i have lots of questions. all to do with cli. Is this the right place to ask them (im not ready to ask them yet) or should i look for another room? | 06:29 |
| bazhang | gerbilcabbagehai, try and see | 06:29 |

| WACOMalt | Hmm #compiz's response is far from optimistic. They claim Canonical's code is to blame. :/ I really dont want to get caught in a finger pointing battle here, but in you guy's oppinion, where does the fault lie that is causing Compiz settings manager (or just compiz itself?) to be so buggy? So that I may properly report my bugs. | 06:34 |
| WACOMalt | Again, I'm not complaining. I just want to get this fixed. So far it seem slike it hasnt improved since the first time I used compiz (years ago) | 06:35 |

| Ileden | Problem: My netbook loses it's WLAN capability after a random amount of time. It still sees all the networks, and tries to connect to them, but fails (promprts for authentication key). This does happen in the middle of using the WLAN. A reboot always fixes the issue. This does not happen in Win7 (dualboot). Only started to do this after 12.04 update. | 07:09 |

| somsip | gerbilcabbagehai: From what you say, automount is not working | 07:27 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | I haven't set it up yet i think, from CLI | 07:28 |
| somsip | gerbilcabbagehai: then that's why you need to create a mountpoint | 07:28 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | somsip: everytime i mount a usb or just once on the system? | 07:28 |
| somsip | gerbilcabbagehai: you tell me - you're asking the question | 07:28 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | lol. ok. what is a mountpoint? im asking for understanding | 07:29 |
| somsip | gerbilcabbagehai: usually, when a USB drive or pendrive or CD or DVD is inserted, the OS figures it out, creates a dir in /mnt or /media which is where the contents of the drive/CD/DVD are mounted. Does your not do this? | 07:30 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | somsip: in command line it does this also? | 07:30 |
| === dpac|away is now known as dpac | ||

| timfrost | gerbilcabbagehai: that makes sense. A mount point is the directory that you specify to use as the base for the file system on the USB (or CD/DVD). The GUI automatically creates a direecdtory under /media for the device. On server, you need to create /mnt to use as the mount point, and specify that in the mount command | 07:36 |

| lotuspsychje | somsip:i cant get rid of it mate | 07:51 |
| timfrost | deffrag: do you have the VNC server running as described in the tutorial? My previous suggestion uses tunnelling of the X traffic, not the VNC session. | 07:52 |
| deffrag | timfrost: It says "not enough arguments for: -display" on trying '-display $DISPLAY'. The command used, as mentioned in the paste above, uses <x11vnc -safer -localhost -nopw -once -display :0> asper the wiki | 07:52 |
| lotuspsychje | somsip:well i can get rid of it with nomodeset add to grub, but then compiz aint working | 07:52 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | somsip: im asking for clarity, so i understand what the ubuntu is doing. i understand i have to do it manually (or enable automount), im asking why it is doing what it does. Is it because mountpoints are temporary, each time you insert/remove a drive? Or do mountpoints stay in memory? | 07:53 |
| somsip | lotuspsychje: not that I know how to help on this, but what does it look like? Can you paste a screenie? | 07:53 |
| deffrag | timfrost: I installed x11vnc and openssh-server on desktop and openssh-cleint and openssh-server installed in laptop | 07:53 |
| somsip | gerbilcabbagehai: If automount is working, a mountpoint will be created that can be read/write by plugdev group. When the drive/disk is ejected, the mountpoint is removed | 07:54 |
| freakolowsky | lo ... anyone here got a clue about configuring acpi governors? | 07:54 |
| spln | hey if i downgrade my laptop memory from a 1333mhz to a 1066mhz do you think there will be a big performace difference ? | 07:54 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | somsip: cool thanks. that makes sense | 07:55 |
| lotuspsychje | somsip:well when i take a screenshot on screen corruption u cant see desktop nomore | 07:55 |
| somsip | lotuspsychje: well, only cos I saw this but I appreciate it's clutching at straws: http://askubuntu.com/questions/21295/mouse-pointer-strange-problem | 07:56 |
| somsip | lotuspsychje: the xorg.conf change looked unusual enough to be interesting | 07:56 |
| lotuspsychje | somsip:yes its something like that | 07:56 |
| lotuspsychje | somsip:but i tested the xorg swcursor, it didnt fix | 07:57 |
| somsip | lotuspsychje: kk | 07:57 |
| timfrost | deffrag: you need a VNC client on the laptop, and run that. That will be passed to the desktop, because of the ssh '-L 5900:localhost:5900 ' | 07:57 |
| Zhil | Can I add my own applications to the "quick search" thing in unity? I.e the thing that shows up pressing "windows key" | 07:58 |
| lotuspsychje | somsip:i got similar issues like this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/556782 | 07:58 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 556782 in linux (Ubuntu) "[rs690m] Graphics corruption with ati x1200" [High,Triaged] | 07:58 |
| deffrag | timfrost: Um, so you mean. I should run that ssh command to desktop and then start vnc on laptop? | 07:58 |
| somsip | lotuspsychje: high...critical...unassigned. Hmmm | 07:58 |
| lotuspsychje | somsip:what does that mean? | 07:59 |
| somsip | lotuspsychje: looks like you're waiting for this to be fixed. It's been accepted. It's been flagged as critical. But not done yet | 07:59 |
| lotuspsychje | somsip:ic i tryed ubuntu-bugs too with no luck | 08:00 |
| somsip | lotuspsychje: well, if they agree it's a problem but haven't yet come up with a patch, maybe there is little much else to do for now | 08:00 |
| lotuspsychje | somsip:i also got this bug on several systems, with older ati cards | 08:00 |
| timfrost | deffrag: you need to start the VNC server on the desktop after logging in to the desktop, then start a VNC client on the laptop | 08:01 |
| freakolowsky | ok, i'll just ask ... when my laptop is running on battery cpu is limited to the lowest frequency scaling_max_freq = scaling_min_freq .... anyone know a way to prevent this? ... i'm using i've tried default kernel, compiled 3.4 with default governor ondemand and with default governor userspace ... i'm using 12.04 and the laptop is a HP EB 8540w | 08:01 |
| lotuspsychje | somsip:ok tnx anyway mate | 08:02 |
| deffrag | timfrost: Yes, I'm logged in to the desktop. How do I start VNC server? "x11vnc -safer -localhost -nopw -once -display :0" ? And then start a VNC client on laptop? | 08:02 |
| somsip | lotuspsychje: just showing an interest | 08:02 |
| lotuspsychje | somsip:apreciate it man | 08:02 |

| m3pow | can anyone help me install a ppa to solve the unity issue regarding the launchpad tooltip ? | 08:05 |
| awaad | I am watching a video of about 45 minutes from ubuntu site explaining how to use quickly and glade. When I follow it step by step I stopped when the instructor changed the style of the toolbar into a darker one | 08:05 |
| awaad | I found that the problem is that in my default template I found in the top (import gtk) and in his default template(from gi.repository import Gtk) | 08:05 |

| timfrost | deffrag: there should be an option to start x11vnc as a server. From the pastebin, it seems that it might have already been running (which may be because of the '-once', but I don't know for sure). Yes, start a vnc client on the laptp | 08:06 |
| m3pow | i noticed 2 fixes, one is to install a ppa that is given in that webpage or get the latest ver or unity 5.16 | 08:06 |
| somsip | m3pow: can you not wait a few days until this is available in standard repos? | 08:06 |
| Squall5668 | which is also the best thing to do | 08:07 |
| m3pow | i don't mind at all ! | 08:07 |
| m3pow | :) | 08:07 |
| m3pow | just did not know it might come so fast | 08:07 |
| somsip | m3pow: that might be an easy solution. Or you have to enable proposed updates, which might bring in stuff you don't want | 08:07 |
| m3pow | and to install that ppa ? | 08:08 |

| greek | how do I upgrade firefox from command line? | 08:29 |
| greek | 11.04 | 08:29 |

| Doxin_ | I'm having enormous trouble installing windows alongside linux, for some reason windows is using some form of new style partition gedit wont recognise. any ideas wtf is going on? | 08:33 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | Doxin_: W8? | 08:33 |
| ikonia | Doxin_: 1.) drop the language like "wtf" 2.) give us some info, and lets work it out | 08:33 |
| Doxin_ | gerbilcabbagehai: w7 | 08:33 |
| Doxin_ | ikonia: what info do you need? | 08:33 |
| ikonia | Doxin_: 1.) what version of windows 2.) what version of ubuntu 3.) what type of install you're doing 4.) what the error/problem is | 08:33 |
| MiteshShah | TJ-, that means my eth0 cann't support 1000 | 08:34 |
| TJ- | Doxin_: If the PC has an EFI firmware, Wndows is possibly using a GPT | 08:34 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | Doxin_: and what order you are trying to do them in too | 08:34 |
| Doxin_ | gerbilcabbagehai: windows first, then linux | 08:34 |
| gordonjcp | Donnw: wait, what? "partition gedit won't recognise"? | 08:34 |
| TJ- | MiteshShah: Correct. But if you look closely, you'll see that eth1 does support 1000. Have you got them confused? | 08:34 |
| gordonjcp | Donnw: disregard, sorry | 08:34 |
| ikonia | Doxin_: ok - so aat this time, is windows installed ? | 08:34 |
| gordonjcp | Doxin_: why are you trying to edit a partition with gedit? | 08:34 |
| Doxin_ | ikonia: sure, | 08:34 |
| ikonia | Doxin_: windows is installed at this moment ? | 08:35 |
| Doxin_ | gordonjcp: to customise the layout. | 08:35 |
| ikonia | whoaaa | 08:35 |
| Doxin_ | ikonia: yes | 08:35 |
| ikonia | edit a partition with gedit | 08:35 |
| ikonia | I missed that part | 08:35 |
| TJ- | I think Doxin_ means "gparted" :p | 08:35 |
| MiteshShah | yes i know and thats the reason i'm asking why eth1 has 1000 and eth0 only support 100 | 08:35 |
| Doxin_ | gordonjcp: *gparted | 08:35 |
| ikonia | phew | 08:35 |
| ikonia | ok | 08:35 |

| gerbilcabbagehai | phew indeed lol | 08:35 |

| Natherul | hey all, anyone know how to and able to guide me on how to install wow on ubuntu 12.04? tried playonlinux without success | 08:35 |
| ikonia | Doxin_: ok, so is Windows taking up the whole disk | 08:35 |
| Doxin_ | ikonia: yes. | 08:35 |
| ikonia | Doxin_: ok, so you want to reduce the size of hte windows partition to allow ubuntu to be installed, correct ? | 08:36 |
| TJ- | MiteshShah: It depends on the hardware chipset. Some systems have older chips for one port and newer chips for others | 08:36 |
| Doxin_ | ikonia: correct | 08:36 |
| gordonjcp | Doxin_: editing a partition with gedit would indicate that you are an utterly misguided noob, or ridiculously hardcore ;-) | 08:36 |
| ikonia | Doxin_: perfect ok, now we understand. Is this windows 7 ? | 08:36 |
| Doxin_ | ikonia: yes | 08:36 |
| TJ- | MiteshShah: Look at the output of lshw - it details that the system has 2 different network controllers | 08:36 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | somsip: if i just do cp -R /media/usb /var/www/ would that do it? | 08:36 |
| ikonia | Doxin_: excellent, and you are booting an Ubuntu 12.04 livecd to re-size ? | 08:36 |
| Doxin_ | ikonia: yes | 08:36 |
| ikonia | Doxin_: final question, how big is this disk ? | 08:37 |
| Doxin_ | ikonia: 2tb | 08:37 |
| ikonia | there we go | 08:37 |
| ikonia | gpt partition table | 08:37 |
| Doxin_ | ikonia: hmm? | 08:37 |
| MiteshShah | TJ-, That means if i swap the ports then eth0 support 1000 and eth1 has down to 100 right | 08:37 |
| awaad | Is there any simple method in order to install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on my Laptop using my USB Flash Memory ? | 08:37 |
| ikonia | Doxin_: if the disk is 2GB or over windows will install using a GTP partition table | 08:37 |
| MiteshShah | TJ-, yes i know one is intel and another is realtek | 08:37 |
| somsip | gerbilcabbagehai: if you want the entire contents from the usb drive into the www folder, and if you have permissions to read from /media/usb and write to /var/www and want any files in /var/ww that have the same names to be overwritten by new ones | 08:37 |
| TJ- | MiteshShah: swap the ports? you mean change the names of the ports? | 08:37 |
| TJ- | MiteshShah: is there any reason you can't just configure eth1 instead of eth0 ? | 08:38 |
| Doxin_ | ikonia: no, it's refusing that. If I partition it using gparted then install windows it's complaining about not supporting gpt partition tables | 08:38 |
| === Bry8Star_ is now known as Bry8Star | ||
| ikonia | Doxin_: that's excactly what I've just said | 08:38 |

| * gerbilcabbagehai nervously types that in and pushes enter somsip | 08:39 | |
| Doxin_ | now what? | 08:39 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | somsip: I see a red light blinking! i thinks its working | 08:39 |
| ikonia | Doxin_: I'm looking at gpt support for gparted, if that's not an option, you'll need to use another tool, or re-install windows on a smaller partition | 08:39 |
| exalt | hello, how normal is it that libre office is not showing up when i alt-tab through my running applications ? | 08:39 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | somsip: omg, that sounded ... lame from me | 08:40 |
| Doxin_ | ikonia: if I partition using windows gparted can't see the partition | 08:40 |
| ikonia | Doxin_: yes, I know that, I've just explained why | 08:40 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | "I see a red light blinking"... | 08:40 |
| Doxin_ | ikonia: okay... | 08:40 |
| MiteshShah | actually we configure my system ad squid proxy server and on eth1 is connected to the internet and eth0 has lan so i don''t want to mess with working settings | 08:40 |
| MiteshShah | TJ-, actually we configure my system ad squid proxy server and on eth1 is connected to the internet and eth0 has lan so i don''t want to mess with working settings | 08:40 |
| somsip | gerbilcabbagehai: it may be that you are the only person who cares if it's blinking or if it appears lame | 08:40 |
| Doxin_ | ikonia: wait, if I make the windows partition smaller, would that work? | 08:41 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | somsip: yes i think thats the case. man gerbilcabbagehai | 08:41 |
| ikonia | Doxin_: well, yes and no. Yes it would work as you wouldn't need to use gparted to repartition | 08:41 |
| Doxin_ | ikonia: but? | 08:41 |
| ikonia | Doxin_: no, it wouldn't work in that gparted would still not be able to see the partition if you wanted to change them later | 08:41 |
| Doxin_ | ikonia: but installing linux next to it would work? | 08:42 |
| ikonia | Doxin_: yes | 08:42 |
| Doxin_ | awesome | 08:42 |
| TJ- | MiteshShah: OK... so you want to rename the ports then? The names are saved by udev into "/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules" . Edit that file as root, and swap the eth0 eth1 names around, save it, and reboot. | 08:42 |
| ikonia | Doxin_: there is some documentation on gpt and gparted on the gparted sourceforge page, it's not conclusive. | 08:42 |
| Doxin_ | ikonia: would windows see a ntfs partition i added later? | 08:42 |
| awaad | Is there any simple method in order to install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on my Laptop using my USB Flash Memory ? | 08:42 |

| chamunks | is there a way to install vlc in headless mode on 12.04 | 08:51 |

| Sling | apart from /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules, where else could eth(0|1) be bound to a MAC? the physical first interface keeps being assigned eth1 (mac ending in 26) while the second hardware interface (mac ending in 27) gets eth0 | 09:00 |

| TJ- | thechef: I was working on a big recently, in apt, that caused failure to access private PPAs because the 'password' was being truncated. Let me find that, it might refresh me on how to manually get access to a PPA from a browser, since I had to do that in working on that bug | 09:00 |

| TJ- | Natherul: I think I recall it is caused by the installer trying to connect to a SSL site and for some reason it failing. I can't remember the specifics. Have you looked in the winehq app database - there's usually instructions there for workarounds in the reviews against each program | 09:04 |

| mulk | Hi. I'm trying to understand Ubuntu's multitouch stack, but I'm having trouble getting a good overview of the current state of affairs. Is “GEIS” a good keyword to start with?

| akis | i installed an add-on on my thunderbird but due to a conflict with another add-on i remove it. i am running xubutnu 12.04 and as far as i can see in /home/user/thunderbird there is no trace of this add-on after i remove it. is there any possibility of any left-over files somewhere else and how can i be sure that removing this add-on everything related to it is removed? | 09:06 |
| witakr | Hello again folks. | 09:06 |
| Natherul | TJ-: right, there was no workaround there, it just stated platinum rating with fresh install of ubuntu, wine and wow.... | 09:07 |
| TJ- | Natherul: In winecfg you can choose to use a native version of wininet.dll - maybe that would help? | 09:07 |
| witakr | I think I have found a new problem specific to ubuntu. It seems my attempts to chmod a directory or a file are failing. I issue the command in terminal and when I check with ls -la I fins the changes I requested to the permissions did not take place. | 09:08 |
| witakr | Does anyone have any idea why this might be? | 09:08 |
| ikonia | witakr: what file system is on the disk you are using | 09:09 |
| Natherul | TJ-: where do i find that setting in winecfg? .... feeling like such a nab atm | 09:09 |

| afidegnum | T34Z1qou4b | 09:12 |
| chamunks | lol | 09:12 |
| TJ- | witakr: First. As it's in /media/ I'm assuming that it's an external device mounted there. So, it might be mounted read-only, or it might be a file system that doesn't support attributes | 09:12 |
| TJ- | chamunks: Well I'm a farmboy... we take the direct route, no messing :p | 09:13 |
| dell | I use a USB disk to install my ubuntu in windows xp | 09:13 |
| afidegnum | Hello, pls I am trying to write a shell script which will allow me to tar $file.gz and remove the .gz file from the folder. how can I formulate the script? | 09:13 |
| Natherul | TJ-: where in winecfg an i find the setting for that wininet.dll? | 09:13 |
| chamunks | TJ-, sounds like it makes life much easier. | 09:13 |
| TJ- | Natherul: You're trying to make my brain ache :p It's one of the tabs that allows you to choose DLLs :p | 09:14 |
| witakr | TJ-, The disk is a secondary HD installed internally. It is not, however, used for any portion or purpose for the OS. | 09:14 |
| dell | but when i have installed my ubuntu, i cannot enter my windows, | 09:14 |
| dell | how can i ? | 09:14 |
| Natherul | TJ-: not my intention to make your brain hurt.... im just a nab :P and i am sincerly grateful for the help your giving me :D | 09:14 |
| TJ- | witakr: OK... what file-system is on that disk? You can check its mount settings with "mount | grep media! | 09:14 |
| TJ- | witakr: oops.... "mount | grep media" | 09:15 |
| TJ- | Natherul: Ok, it's the "Libraries' tab | 09:15 |
| Natherul | TJ-: i reckon I just add the wininet.dll then since its not in the list? | 09:15 |
| TJ- | Natherul: e.g. on mine I see I've got ctl3d32 and wininet both listed, and set to "native, builtin) | 09:15 |
| nydel | is there a command like apropos that returns only installed softwares? | 09:16 |
| witakr | TJ-, Indeed: /dev/sdb1 on /media/witTV type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096) | 09:16 |
| chamunks | ok nuts to this its bed time | 09:16 |
| chamunks | gnight | 09:16 |
| nydel | (for command line) | 09:16 |
| TJ- | Natherul: I can't remember if "native, builtin" means the WINE libraries, or ones from a Windows installation! You'd best do some research on that issue | 09:16 |
| chamunks | TJ-, thanks for the attention to this. | 09:16 |
| chamunks | afk | 09:16 |
| TJ- | chamunks: sleep weel | 09:16 |
| Natherul | TJ-: ok, im gonna test now with wininet added as native.... see if i get another result | 09:17 |
| TJ- | witakr: as it's mounted using fuser (fuseblk) I'm going to guess it's an NTFS file-system. Try this "sudo blkid /deb/sdb1" | 09:17 |
| witakr | TJ-, It may be worth noting I have had no trouble accessing this drive in multiple OS installations including my current installation of Xubuntu 12.04. | 09:17 |
| TJ- | witakr: Did you change attributes with those, too? | 09:17 |
| witakr | TJ-, No I did not have a need at the time. I currently use one OS which is Xubuntu 12.04 however previously I have had Windows 7, Ubuntu12.04, OpenSUSE and LinuxMint installed and experienced no trouble accessing. But to be clear I did not try to change any permissions while using those installations either. | 09:19 |
| witakr | TJ-, I ran "sudo blkid /deb/sdb1" as you requested and it gave me no return. | 09:21 |
| TJ- | witakr: I'm not 100% certain on this, but I'm pretty sure it's NTFS where you can't set the unix-style permissions; NTFS uses ACLs | 09:21 |
| witakr | TJ-, That is to say I don't know if it worked properly or not because it did not specify. | 09:21 |
| ikonia | TJ-: correct | 09:21 |
| TJ- | witakr: 'deb' or 'dev' ? | 09:22 |
| ikonia | TJ-: it's mounted userspace so only the mounted owner will get acess | 09:22 |
| witakr | TJ-, "deb" as you instructed above. Should I try "dev" instead? | 09:22 |
| TJ- | ikonia: so that'd explain witakr's issue then? he can't change the attributes using " sudo chmod" ? | 09:22 |
| ikonia | TJ-: correct | 09:22 |
| TJ- | witakr: Did I mistype? Sorry! it should be /dev/ | 09:22 |

| amgarching | Hi! What is the output of "fc-match" on your recent ubuntu? | 09:23 |
| witakr | TJ-, That is wuite alright. Thank you for your help. I will try "dev" now. One moment. | 09:23 |
| TJ- | witakr: As ikonia has confirmed - it's not possible to chmod an NTFS file-system mounted using fuser. | 09:23 |
| witakr | TJ-, Then it seems I may need to clear my HD entirely and reformat to ext? | 09:23 |
| witakr | Or fat32? | 09:24 |
| TJ- | Depends if you want it accessible to Windows or not. | 09:24 |
| ikonia | witakr: fat32 doesn't support permissions, ext3/4 won't be stable or have permissions support in windows | 09:24 |
| witakr | TJ-, It appears your suspicions are confirmed: /dev/sdb1: LABEL="witTV" UUID="8850F72050F71422" TYPE="ntfs" | 09:24 |
| witakr | ikonia, That it alright because I do not have a Windows partition to boot. I only have Xubuntu. | 09:25 |
| TJ- | witakr: Instead of trying to change the attributes, you could set-up an entry in fstab that mounts it with the group ownership set as you want it for the entire file-system | 09:25 |
| ikonia | witakr: then using ext4 wouldbe a wise move | 09:26 |
| Natherul | TJ-: getting the same errors no matter what i set the wininet.dll to.... seems that it wont work for me | 09:26 |
| TJ- | Natherul: that's a pain. You could try putting that error into Google and seeing if it leads to fixes/worarounds | 09:27 |
| jeroen_ | Hello, can someone help me with bug filling this bug I have? My Quadro 2000M is acting glitchy after installing the nvidia-current 304.43 driver on Ubuntu 12.10. Version 295 has worked perfectly on 12.04. | 09:27 |
| witakr | TJ-, Though my gut tells me that may work, I am ignorant to the process. I am more than willing to try it if you might be able to assist me to that end? If you don't mind. | 09:27 |
| Natherul | TJ-: I appriciate the help non-the-less mate :P thanks for wasting your time on a nab like me :D | 09:28 |
| TJ- | witakr: I'd have to try it here, I'm not sure myself. All in all, from what you have said, I'd think converting the file-system to ext4 would be a better more useful approach | 09:28 |
| witakr | ikonia, Honestly, i thought I had formatted the drive to ext4 but appearantly during my bout of 'Musical OSes' I forgot to do so. I may end up doing just that. | 09:28 |
| TJ- | Natherul: It isn't wasted - we're all learning here | 09:28 |

| TJ- | witakr: I know what its like - had to move 106GB earlier, between partitions on the same drive... took hours | 09:30 |
| witakr | ikonia, I think that reformatting to ext4 is the best route and likely the cause to ALL of the problem which I have had tonight. Thank you. | 09:30 |
| ikonia | witakr: no problem | 09:30 |
| witakr | TJ-, Fortunatly for me I ahve only just begun the process of converting my DVD collection so I have but only seven movie files to move and some music. Should only take 15 or 20 minutes at most. | 09:32 |

| gerbilcabbagehai | so they connect ok using other methods first? | 09:42 |
| witakr | ikonia && TJ-, It seems after formatting to ext4 the owner was set to root thus preventing me from making ANY changes. What did I do wrong? I simply used the standard settings in Gparted to format the drive. | 09:42 |
| ikonia | witakr: after formatting it's always set to root, you now need to chown it | 09:43 |

| deffrag | gerbilcabbagehai: Since, I'm attempting VNC locally, port forwarding 22 will not come in between. If I was doing it from outside the network, port forwarding would have helped. As the wiki says, port forward only 22 which is already done as I sometimes ssh to system from outside | 10:12 |

| jrib | theGrg: run apt-get update again, if it persists, wait more and run apt-get update again or just use a different mirror. I think this happens when the mirror is updating and you update as the mirror is in the middle of updating but the md5sums haven't been updated yet | 10:12 |

| gerbilcabbagehai | deffrag: true | 10:12 |
| jrib | theGrg: so use a different mirror | 10:12 |
| Doxin_ | ikonia: I don't see why it's being this difficult, on an identical machine everything went fine | 10:13 |
| tsimpson | deffrag: in the paste I'm looking at: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1216360/ you use sudo | 10:13 |
| deffrag | tsimpson: Even running it without sudo, vnc server is not initialized. I'm stuck at getting VNC server started at desktop | 10:13 |
| theGrg | jrib I'm using what software-sources calls "Main Server". I'll try US if nothig works, I guess. | 10:13 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | deffrag: Q, why is it trying to open x display when it is cli command type server? | 10:14 |
| deffrag | tsimpson: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1216304/ | 10:14 |
| jrib | theGrg: you should take the opportunity to setup a local mirror then :) | 10:14 |
| jrib | theGrg: "setup" as in "find" | 10:14 |
| deffrag | gerbilcabbagehai: I'm equally new to it, and learning | 10:14 |
| tsimpson | gerbilcabbagehai: because it forwards a running display, so it needs an X server | 10:15 |
| theGrg | jrib you might as well mean "set up" :) The Lebanese server seems to be out-of-date. I wonder how much work it would be to maintain it... | 10:15 |
| Z0oM | hi | 10:15 |
| Doxin_ | ikonia: halp! | 10:15 |
| Doxin_ | ikonia: how do I get them to dualboot? | 10:15 |
| theGrg | llutz that didn't fix things. I'm going to try changing the server now. | 10:16 |
| deffrag | tsimpson: And it is running as mentioned in the paste above. ps aux part in the bottom of the paste | 10:16 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | deffrag: so, is your x display working correctly? | 10:16 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | deffrag: lol sorry for the nooby 20 questions | 10:17 |
| === dark is now known as Guest92916 | ||
| jrib | theGrg: well you could try lb.archive.ubuntu.com. Are you saying that that is out of date? | 10:17 |
| theGrg | jrib from experience, yes it is out-of-date | 10:17 |
| deffrag | gerbilcabbagehai: Yes, as far as I understand it is. ps aux says so. And I'm sure if I connect display to the desktop now it will show Ubuntu login screen. Currently, desktop I'm connecting to from laptop is like a headless system with no monitor, keyboard, mouse attached | 10:18 |
| tsimpson | deffrag: is there currently a running X session on the desktop system? | 10:18 |
| Danse_Macabre | hello my my current setup consists of the following, i have two internet connections . my pc has 3 network cards. based on the time of day i should be able to choose which internet connection i use. only between 2 am to 8 am i should use internet connection #2 rest of the time it should be internet connection #1. also i need all my other computers to connect to the internet through this PC as well( use the 3rd network adapter) | 10:18 |
| ikonia | Doxin_: what ? | 10:18 |
| jrib | theGrg: hmm, it's probably worthwhile to file a bug; maybe the admin isn't aware | 10:18 |
| ikonia | Doxin_: what's the issue ? | 10:18 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | deffrag: hence why you are sudoing before login? | 10:19 |
| Doxin_ | ikonia: I'm having trouble getting windows to play nice alongside linux on my 2tb disk | 10:19 |
| ikonia | Doxin_: as I said earlier, you need to explain the problem rather than saying "it won't work" | 10:19 |
| theGrg | jrib I believe it is simply unmaintained as the Ubuntu Lebanon team is no longer active. | 10:19 |
| deffrag | tsimpson: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1216474/ -- is that the right way to confirm if X is running? | 10:19 |
| === mtlife_w is now known as mtlife | ||
| Doxin_ | ikonia: the problem is that if linux touches the partition table windows stops booting | 10:20 |
| jrib | theGrg: in either case, lb.archive.ubuntu.com shouldn't be pointing to non-functional servers | 10:20 |
| ikonia | Doxin_: again - explain the problem | 10:20 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | deffrag: what version ubuntu and desktop have you? | 10:20 |
| ikonia | Doxin_: not what you think is happeneing, what's actually happening | 10:20 |
| deffrag | gerbilcabbagehai: Both laptop and desktop are running Ubuntu 12.04 desktop as mentioned in the original question! | 10:21 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | gnome? | 10:21 |
| tsimpson | deffrag: you need to be running an X session, as a the user you're trying to use VNC as, for it to work | 10:21 |
| theGrg | jrib where do you recommend I file the bug? | 10:21 |
| deffrag | tsimpson: So, in my current session with the desktop in ssh. I should run startx? | 10:21 |
| Doxin_ | ikonia: I want to dualboot. I install windows. linux doesn't see the windows partition. manually partitioning taking care to not touch the invisible windows partitions makes windows not boot anymore. | 10:21 |
| jrib | theGrg: I'm not sure where the appropriate place is. I assume somewhere no launchpad. Maybe #ubuntu-bugs can be more specific | 10:21 |
| ikonia | Doxin_: please explain "not boot any more" errors/warnings | 10:21 |
| Doxin_ | ikonia: grub doesn't list windows no more, and the windows install disk can't find the windows partition anymore, just listing it as free space. | 10:22 |
| ikonia | Doxin_: ok, one moment please. | 10:23 |
| codemaniac | "Как пропатчить KDE2 под FreeBSD" | 10:23 |
| tsimpson | deffrag: you should try using /var/lib/lightdm/:0 rather than /var/lib/lightdm/:0.Xauth | 10:24 |
| deffrag | tsimpson: x11vnc -auth /var/lib/lightdm/:0 -safer -localhost -nopw -once -display :0 ? | 10:26 |
| jrib | theGrg: did changing the mirror resolve your hash issue? | 10:26 |
| ikonia | Doxin_: it seems 12.04 handles gpt differently then previous releases. This ask ubuntu thread is quite useful | 10:26 |
| ikonia | Doxin_: http://askubuntu.com/questions/132843/why-do-i-need-to-create-a-bios-grub-partition-when-i-install-12-04 | 10:26 |
| tsimpson | deffrag: with sudo, yes | 10:26 |
| theGrg | jrib still apt-get updating, my current connection is pretty slow. | 10:26 |

| === mechteamreal is now known as tejasos | ||
| deffrag | tsimpson: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1216480/ | 10:28 |
| tsimpson | deffrag: because you're cheating and trying to get the display of the display manager, rather than a user. there is security you must bypass (by using sudo) to do that | 10:28 |
| Doxin_ | ikonia: it hasn't got uefi, so it's impossible to dualboot like this? | 10:28 |
| === tejasos is now known as tejas | ||
| deffrag | tsimpson: cheating? Well, currently as the process suggests it running lightdm login screen as root. so, we are trying to get access to that right? | 10:29 |
| ikonia | Doxin_: the post explains it | 10:29 |
| Doxin_ | ikonia: I read it. It says windows wont install to a gpt partition without uefi. | 10:30 |
| deffrag | tsimpson: Command issued was <sudo x11vnc -auth /var/lib/lightdm/:0 -safer -localhost -nopw -once -display :0> display :0 is missing in the paste | 10:30 |
| tsimpson | deffrag: the display manager is not really running as root, it's running as lightdm | 10:31 |

| jrib | !text | WormDrink | 10:32 |
| ubottu | WormDrink: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu.

| jrib | WormDrink: that's one way, or add "and never" as a condition. In later upstart versions, you could use a .override file, but not in 10.04 | 10:36 |

| deffrag | tsimpson: Well, the wiki I used asks only to have port 22 forwarded not 5900- " configure your router to send connection attempts on port 22 (but not port 5900) to your PC". I already have port 22 forwarded. So .. | 11:31 |
| tsimpson | deffrag: well hopefully you don't need to forward 5900 then, best way to tell is to give it a try | 11:32 |

| ubottu | Yum! Err, I mean, APT! | 11:34 |
| deffrag | tsimpson: Yes. But I'm curious if I'll have to forward port 5900 on router, will it allow only one connection? "By convention, port numbers start at 5,900 and go up, so a computer that shared three different desktops would normally listen on ports 5,900, 5,901 and 5,902" | 11:34 |
| * twitchie pat ubottu | 11:35 | |
| tsimpson | deffrag: I'm not sure exactly how it's implemented in ssh, but I'm guessing you don't need to forward any more ports (from what I'm reading) | 11:35 |

| OerHeks | ansii, 1 jack = headphone, 1 jack is mic ? | 13:17 |
| SilfenX | ansii: then your software shoud display 2 individual audiooutput devices, one for each output, if that would be possible | 13:17 |
| |Anthony| | ansii, click on the sound settings panel icon | 13:18 |
| ansii | OerHeks no.. tis laptop as 1 jack = head phone, 2 jack = another head phone and 3 jack = mic | 13:18 |
| |Anthony| | ansii, select the playback tab | 13:18 |
| === nydel is now known as nydeloqui | ||
| OerHeks | ansii 2nd jack might be line out then | 13:18 |
| |Anthony| | ansii, find the program(s) that are playing audio | 13:18 |
| ansii | OerHeks this is my laptop and i can hear audio from both jacks | 13:19 |
| |Anthony| | ansii, select the output source from the drop down beside the application and change it | 13:19 |
| ansii | Anthony there are 2 entries one is Digital output (S/PDIF) and other is Speakers (Duilt in audio) | 13:19 |
| mbeierl | ansii, first question: are you sure the audio card in the computer supports two different audio outputs and it's not just duplicating the audio at the hardware level | 13:20 |
| SilfenX | ansii: you re out of luck then | 13:20 |
| comp365-Colin | Is there a way of calling external text filters in nano, similar to ! in vim? | 13:20 |

| ansii | mbeier1 , good question.. but i dont know.. all i know is that this laptop comes with a dual headphone slots | 13:20 |
| ansii | SilfenX how do i ensure that the right drivers have been installed for my sound card? | 13:21 |
| SilfenX | ansii: it s like a seat on an airplane, co-hearing | 13:21 |
| |Anthony| | ansii, open a terminal | 13:21 |
| |Anthony| | ansii, type aplay -l | 13:21 |
| BluesKaj | agc93, usb wifi ? | 13:21 |
| ansii | aplay -l | 13:21 |
| |Anthony| | ansii, that will list the audio devices available | 13:21 |
| ansii | its shows 3 devices | 13:22 |
| |Anthony| | don't use /exec aplay -l in chat here lol | 13:22 |
| SilfenX | ansii: you know you have the right driver for your audiohardware if it plays audio, mroe or less | 13:22 |
| |Anthony| | ansii, can you discern which devices are which? | 13:22 |
| ansii | <|Anthony|> should i past it here? | 13:23 |
| |Anthony| | you can also use aplay -L that will show the device names in a more human readable way | 13:23 |

| SilfenX | if your particular DJ software supports multiple outputs, then maybe you shoudl have a lookaround in the programs audiohardware preferences and see if you can select spdif as one output and the analog out jack as a 2nd output - experimental but maybe it could work | 13:24 |
| ansii | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1216697/ | 13:24 |

| kbk1 | UFW question. If I 'default deny outgoing' on my machine, I can no longer browse the internet. Any possible explanations? | 13:25 |
| SilfenX | ansii: then you d need a way of getting that spdif signal into your amp which would need to go through a hardware mixer forst | 13:25 |
| kbk1 | FWIW, someone played with the iptables at some point. Here is that output: http://pastebin.com/pQT02eqF | 13:26 |
| BluesKaj | ansii, you have no sound at all ? | 13:26 |
| ansii | but is there someway to know that my 2 headphone audio jack are independant or not? | 13:26 |
| SilfenX | if you hear the same audio in them they are | 13:27 |
| |Anthony| | ansii, i'm thinking that they are mirrored outputs | 13:27 |
| |Anthony| | but you can test this | 13:27 |
| Sidewinder1 | I haven't been following, sorry; someone has provided the 'sound factoid', have they not? | 13:27 |

| SilfenX | ansii: do you have an external audio mixer? If you dont, you d need a way to play back/mix both hardware outputs simultanesly in some other fashion before hitting the amp | 13:29 |
| ansii | SilfenX have u worked on mixxx? | 13:29 |
| SilfenX | ansii: why dont yo ujust use the DJ software to mix your tracks in software and playback the already mixed output? | 13:29 |

| auronandace | twitchie: its not supported here | 13:30 |
| |Anthony| | ansii, those are the 2 intel HDA devices. one is the onboard audio (builtin speakers) which iirc is shared by the headphone output jack. the other i think is the spdif | 13:30 |
| SilfenX | I have used Logic Audio tho on an ASIO compatible soundcard with 8 chan breakoutbox | 13:30 |

| ansii | |Anthony| let me tell u that i am aspiring to be a DJ and i want to start off with UBUNTU mixxx and other open source apps.. but the requirement is a 2 different output from laptop | 13:32 |
| mcatch | can someone explain to me the reasoning behind having to type "./myProrgam" to execute it from the terminal instead of just "myProrgam"? Is it because linux distributions try to obtain package information for all non-directory based terminal lines? | 13:33 |
| |Anthony| | ansii, you're going to have to use some pulseaudio magic. and let me tell you... getting it to work as expected is a royal pita | 13:33 |
| |Anthony| | ansii, do you have an outboard amp that you could hook up to the spdif? | 13:33 |
| === nydeloqui is now known as nydel | ||

| ansii | |Anthony| there is no SPDIF but there is only a HDMI output on this laptop | 13:34 |

| Dev-Brian | hello | 14:19 |
| |Anthony| | it's a glitch. i don't know the details of causation, but if an audio signal gets interrupted the video will cut out for a second | 14:19 |
| |Anthony| | BEC ^ | 14:19 |
| === stef- is now known as sZL | ||
| crizis | Rikim4ru, export LDFLAGS+=your flags | 14:20 |
| Rikim4ru | crizis, i should just exec this before the make command? | 14:20 |
| crizis | Rikim4ru, yes. it's a shell variable | 14:20 |
| Rikim4ru | ok | 14:20 |
| peetaur | when I run "aptitude install" it asks to install 552 packages, but "apt-get install" does not want to install anything. How can I clear this nonsense from aptitude? | 14:20 |
| crizis | Rikim4ru, export LFLAGS=$LDFLAGS -yourflags should work too | 14:20 |
| Rikim4ru | what does a flag look like? (sorry for being noob) | 14:21 |
| Rikim4ru | i'm looking to link it to /usr/lib/libdbi | 14:21 |
| Rikim4ru | is this my flag? | 14:21 |
| BEC | |Anthony|, ah; speaking of vid; do you know why installing mplayer requires the following nvidia packages: nvidia-vdpau-driver | nvidia-vdpau-driver-ia32 | vdpau-driver (I have an ATI card!)? | 14:22 |
| Rikim4ru | export LFLAGS=$LDFLAGS -/usr/lib/libdbi ? | 14:22 |
| pankaj | hi there | 14:22 |
| alvis | hi everybody | 14:22 |
| alvis | exit | 14:23 |
| |Anthony| | BEC, probably because the installer isn't smart enough to detect hardware and make deps based on that. pre-compiled packages need to be done such that it is broad enough to support *most* hardware | 14:23 |
| BEC | |Anthony|, so should I Y the installer? or keep them back? | 14:25 |
| BEC | doesn't cause any conflict?? | 14:25 |
| genii-around | BEC: Another reason could be that your default settings for packages have "Install Suggested Packages" set to on, since libvdpau1 which is a required dependency has those nvidia vdpau packages as "Suggested" | 14:25 |
| BEC | if installed? | 14:25 |
| |Anthony| | BEC, listen to genii-around | 14:26 |
| BEC | genii-around, I guess so; how do I turn it off? | 14:26 |
| BEC | genii-around, I sometimes use --no-install-recommends. What are these suggesed/recommended packages? I searched about them but couldn't find an answer! :S | 14:27 |
| BEC | genii-around, actually i did find stuff about it, but didn't quite understand them :S | 14:28 |
| peetaur | aha figured it out.... apt-get remove aptitude ; apt-get purge aptitude ; apt-get install aptitude | 14:28 |
| jrib | peetaur: blasphemy | 14:28 |
| peetaur | howso? | 14:28 |
| genii-around | BEC: You can make a file /etc/apt/apt.conf and put in it: APT::Install-Suggests "0"; | 14:28 |
| mindstorm | lol | 14:28 |
| jrib | peetaur: bad joke. I wonder how aptitude purge aptitude would behave | 14:28 |
| peetaur | it was a traitor; it had to go | 14:28 |
| genii-around | Apologies on lag, work is taking up much of my time at the moment | 14:29 |
| jrib | peetaur: you know aptitude is broken on multi-arch? | 14:29 |
| peetaur | yes I know... one of many reasons I hate aptitude | 14:29 |
| peetaur | I only like "aptitude search" better than "apt-cache search" | 14:29 |
| BEC | genii-around, is it a good behavior to do so (i.e; opt out suggestions permanently )? | 14:29 |
| jrib | peetaur: same, I wish that aptitude search would replace apt-cache's | 14:30 |
| peetaur | also there's "aptitude moo" | 14:30 |
| BEC | |Anthony|, btw, the flickering isn't HDMI related; it is my system! | 14:30 |
| peetaur | ah but apt-get has a moo, just a different one. | 14:31 |
| mindstorm | super-moo | 14:31 |
| BEC | |Anthony|, now I discovered the related cause u mentioned: modifying sound amplitute causes more flickering! | 14:31 |
| genii-around | BEC: If you only want to opt out on a one-time basis, you can issue the apt-get command with the option in the command line as well, like: sudo apt-get intstall -o APT::Install-Suggests=0 <packagename> | 14:32 |
| === zz_scottas is now known as scottas | ||
| genii-around | BEC: I find it easier just to set the Recommends and Suggests settings off in apt.conf so that unnecessary cruft doesn't get installed, especially on server systems where installing something like ffmpeg with those settings on will result in X being installed, etc | 14:33 |

| Boondoklife | Do it anytime something like that happens here via clonezilla and PXE | 15:30 |
| Onkeltem | Boondoklife: I had time yet to work out appropriate backup solution | 15:31 |
| Onkeltem | Boondoklife: can you recommend one? | 15:31 |
| Boondoklife | Clonezilla is great | 15:31 |
| Onkeltem | Boondoklife: is it using some server on the Internet? | 15:31 |
| Boondoklife | make a baseline back of your OS, before you start putting data into it | 15:31 |
| ubuntuuser1 | blackshirt: it says the control info u set are not correct......so i removed the package phpmyadmin...... | 15:31 |
| Boondoklife | you can have it on a boot cd/usb or network boot via PXE | 15:31 |
| blackshirt | ubuntuuser1: i have phpmyadmin too ... i can login with mysql user (root) and the phpmyadmin user created when install | 15:32 |

| ougogo | Hello, how to install the driver "b43-fwcutter" on lubuntu, knowing that there is no internet connection? This is mostly due to dependencies that I do not know how. | 15:51 |
| Okan_ | so I got 2 disks on my ultrabook | 15:51 |
| Okan_ | 1 is hdd 1 is ssd | 15:51 |
| Okan_ | my win7 is on hdd | 15:51 |
| bazhang | Okan_, all on ONE line | 15:51 |
| Okan_ | I wanted to install ubuntu on ssd driver, I choosed Something Else created all partitions on ssd. When I reboot win7 started, I could not add ubuntu on bootloader | 15:52 |
| deffrag | How can I check if a particular command/process is run on/after every boot? | 15:52 |
| dr_willis | ougogo: easy way it to just run a cable/plug in to lan for a few min. otherwise it may take a lot more work | 15:52 |
| dr_willis | Okan_: you pur grub on thr mbr of the ssd? | 15:53 |
| Okan_ | here is my Disks http://i48.tinypic.com/2dr6lj7.png | 15:53 |

| Okan_ | I have no idea of that | 15:53 |
| auronandace | Okan_: change the boot oder of your disks in the bios | 15:53 |
| dr_willis | you did set bios to boot the ssd hd? | 15:53 |

| dr_willis | dr3mro: i bet it would cause a lot of little issues.. | 15:54 |
| Boondoklife | deffrag, is it a compiled app or script? If it is a script add an echo "RAN" > /tmp/startup.checker to it | 15:54 |
| Okan_ | Maybe I can change the boot the ssd. but then I wont load Win7 I guess? | 15:54 |
| Boondoklife | if it is a compiled app check and see if it has a logging option and turn it on | 15:54 |
| beboj | need heelp, wvdial dosen't detect my internal gsm modem.. | 15:54 |

| BluesKaj | dr3mro, kde desktop or unity/gnome ? | 15:55 |
| Boondoklife | deffrag, otherwise just use `ps -Al | grep "appname"` and see if it is listed | 15:55 |

| jrib | theadmin: did you set those dpms times? Those are in seconds | 16:16 |
| chamunks | I'm running 12.04 lts server i386 | 16:16 |
| theadmin | jrib: I'm pretty sure I don't know what "DPMS" is, so probably not... | 16:16 |
| jrib | theadmin: the third line from the bottom in your paste | 16:16 |
| theadmin | jrib: Do see it -- um, so how do I fix it? System Settings -> Power Management of KDE is no help. | 16:17 |
| theadmin | jrib: To be precise (no pun intended): http://i.imgur.com/5rwi4.png | 16:17 |
| jrib | theadmin: I don't know where those settings are exposed in the gui (though I am sure they are somewhere). You can set them with: xset dpms X Y Z where X, Y, and Z are in seconds. These settings will *not* persist after a reboot I think | 16:18 |
| jrib | theadmin: try changing them now to something like 600 (10 minutes) so we can make sure we are looking in the right place for your issue | 16:18 |
| theadmin | jrib: Making them persist is not an issue, I can just put it in start up apps... Can I disable this screen madness *completely*? I don't want my screen to go blank at all... except maybe on lid close | 16:18 |
| theadmin | jrib: Ok, I'll do that and wait a minute -- should I run that as root? | 16:19 |
| jrib | theadmin: I use "xset dpms 0 0 0". There may also be a way to just disable dpms altogether, but I'd have to read the man page. You should run it as your user (no sudo) | 16:19 |
| theadmin | jrib: Ok, that worked, now to put that in startup apps... Still wonder what the reason could've been | 16:21 |

| genii-around | BEC: I had to do some work, available for a few minutes now. The file you want to edit/create is /etc/apt/apt.conf ... the relevant entry would be: APT::Install-Recommends "0"; If you additionally wanted you can put too: APT::Install-Suggests "0"; | 16:21 |

| ripthejacker | is this a bug? | 16:29 |
| ripthejacker | for the connections to show up i have to disable networking an enable it again | 16:29 |
| Sidewinder1 | PatrickC, If you're going to shrink the NTFS partition, DEFRAGMENT it, at least twice, prior to any other manipulation. | 16:30 |
| PatrickC | Sidewinder1: never done that before when installing ubuntu, as there has always been an "Install alongside windows" option that i used | 16:30 |
| PatrickC | so should i defrag the HDD a few times before resizing it? and should i use gparted to resize it or a partition manager in windows? | 16:31 |
| PatrickC | never had to do it myself ;) | 16:31 |
| faz | hi ! i cant mount my iphone | 16:33 |
| BluesKaj | PatrickC, some say to defrag before resizing windows partitions , can't hurt | 16:33 |
| PatrickC | afaik iphones and ubuntu don't play nice.. but i might be wrong (havent done it in a while) | 16:33 |
| PatrickC | BluesKaj: kk.. should i use gparted from a live cd to resize or resize in windows? | 16:33 |
| Sidewinder1 | PatrickC, The drfrag is done from/within the win OS; you may wish to resize it (the NTFS partition) also, from within the win OS. I've never resized from within win, but have read many times that that is the preferred method. | 16:34 |
| PatrickC | hmm... | 16:34 |
| * PatrickC wishes the option was still there :P | 16:34 | |
| faz | ooh i seee | 16:34 |

| PatrickC | lol | 16:51 |
| truexfan81 | its so much faster without all the bloat | 16:51 |
| PatrickC | what cpu u have truexfan81? | 16:51 |
| truexfan81 | athlon2 245 | 16:51 |
| truexfan81 | dual 2.9 | 16:51 |
| PatrickC | how much RAM? | 16:51 |
| truexfan81 | mobo is maxed out at 4GB | 16:52 |
| PatrickC | nice | 16:52 |
| PatrickC | i normally use a full desktop ISO | 16:52 |
| PatrickC | might go server and build it up with a WM | 16:52 |
| PatrickC | thinking of doing that right now actually.... heh | 16:52 |
| truexfan81 | with 12.04 minimal it only uses more than a gig of ram when i have firefox running | 16:52 |
| truexfan81 | when i kill firefox it goes down to around 700MB of ram used lol | 16:53 |
| truexfan81 | i have conky running thats how i know that | 16:53 |
| PatrickC | if i'm wanting to do a fully custom install, should i do a server install and then build off of that or a minimal install? | 16:53 |
| Sidewinder1 | PatrickC, As you're probably aware, server is CLI; has no desktop/GUI, unless you add one.. | 16:54 |
| truexfan81 | depends on what you want to use it for | 16:54 |
| truexfan81 | Sidewinder1: i did the minimal install and chose not to install a de | 16:54 |
| PatrickC | Sidewinder1: i would install something like cinnamon | 16:54 |
| truexfan81 | then later from the cli i installed xorg and mate 1.4 | 16:54 |
| PatrickC | and truexfan81, building Android and other open source distros ;) | 16:54 |
| Sidewinder1 | Kewl. | 16:54 |

| truexfan81 | oh nice | 16:54 |
| PatrickC | but you can install a WM inside of server? | 16:55 |
| truexfan81 | PatrickC: how would Android run on a pc? i mean how well | 16:55 |
| Sidewinder1 | bbiab | 16:55 |
| PatrickC | truexfan81: that i coulnd't answer | 16:55 |
| PatrickC | truexfan81: i'm on an android ROM team | 16:55 |
| PatrickC | and i also do some open webOS stuff | 16:55 |
| truexfan81 | PatrickC: i'm sure you probably could install a de, but you would have probably have to install xorg as its likely not installed | 16:56 |
| truexfan81 | on the server iso* | 16:56 |
| PatrickC | it would be worth it | 16:56 |
| PatrickC | it would run so much faster ;) | 16:56 |
| truexfan81 | faster than the route i took? | 16:56 |
| PatrickC | not sure | 16:57 |
| PatrickC | but faster then a full desktop | 16:57 |
| truexfan81 | oh i also built and installed pulseaudio 2.1 on it | 16:57 |
| PatrickC | and the server is still a 700MB download.... :S | 16:57 |
| truexfan81 | 12.04 comes with pulseaudio 1.1 | 16:57 |
| PatrickC | link to the minimal download truexfan81? | 16:58 |
| truexfan81 | one sec | 16:58 |
| truexfan81 | 64bit or 32? | 16:58 |
| PatrickC | thx | 16:58 |
| PatrickC | 64 | 16:58 |
| truexfan81 | same as me lol | 16:58 |
| PatrickC | LOL | 16:58 |
| PatrickC | lol* | 16:58 |
| === andredieb_ is now known as andredieb | ||
| truexfan81 | its only a 30MB file | 16:58 |
| PatrickC | but i'll have to run a 32 as well :S | 16:58 |
| truexfan81 | 32bit iso is 25MB | 16:58 |
| PatrickC | holy crap | 16:59 |
| PatrickC | the server iso is 657MB | 16:59 |
| TJ- | PatrickC: You can run a 32-bit userspace on a 64-bit kernel. | 16:59 |
| truexfan81 | yeah thats the full server iso | 16:59 |
| PatrickC | TJ-: really? | 16:59 |
| PatrickC | TJ-: some of the things i build require 32 bit | 16:59 |
| truexfan81 | PatrickC: the minimal iso is a netinstall thats why its so small | 16:59 |
| PatrickC | truexfan81: gotcha | 16:59 |
| TJ- | PatrickC: Of course. The interfaces are the same. I have that on my USB sticks. I install the 32-bit minimal to a stick, then manually add the 64-bit kernels. That allows me to boot the stick with full hardware support no matter what the device is | 17:00 |
| truexfan81 | you want the 12.04 LTS? | 17:00 |
| PatrickC | truexfan81: yep | 17:00 |
| truexfan81 | http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso | 17:00 |
| PatrickC | TJ-: instructions on that somewhere? | 17:00 |
| TJ- | PatrickC: 32-bit is best for 2GB or less; 64-bit will show benefits for 4GB+ | 17:00 |
| PatrickC | TJ-: it has 3GB | 17:01 |
| charlar28 | one question | 17:01 |
| TJ- | PatrickC: Not really needed. Install the 32-bit as you normally would. Once done, install the 64-bit kernel images too, using "sudo apt-get install linux-image:amd64 linux-headers:amd64" | 17:01 |
| PatrickC | TJ-: awesome, thanks | 17:02 |
| truexfan81 | well in that case | 17:02 |
| truexfan81 | 32bit: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso | 17:02 |
| PatrickC | lol thanks truexfan81 | 17:02 |
| truexfan81 | np | 17:02 |
| TJ- | PatrickC: The only thing not to be caught out by is that GRUB doesn't name the boot entries as 32/64 bit so make sure you know which one is which - or manually change the grub.cfg menu entries and/or edit the scripts in /etc/grub.d/ to do that | 17:02 |
| charlar28 | if i have installed a 32bits ubuntu and i have 8gb ram, the program userspace is 4gb but the system will use the 8gb if 2 processes uses 4 gb? | 17:03 |
| TJ- | charlar28: correct... on 32bit PAE the kernel can address all memory, but each process is limited to 4GB | 17:03 |
| PatrickC | TJ-: so in essence it installs both 32 and 64 bit versions? | 17:03 |
| charlar28 | thanks TJ | 17:03 |
| PatrickC | and just boots the different kernels? | 17:03 |
| TJ- | PatrickC: No - you're not installed a 64-bit userspace, just the kernels | 17:03 |
| DLabz | hi, all.. our entire network crashed as software we use pushed update that requires new Air... I know Air is not officially supported, but ... is there unofficial way of installing new Air? | 17:04 |
| === Fuchs is now known as tinyfox | ||
| TJ- | PatrickC: for most modern Intel-based CPUs, they support long-mode (64-bit) as well as 32-bit, so a 64-bit kernel is OK. For CPUs that don't support long-mode, a 32-bit kernel is required. Ubuntu ships with a PAE 32-bit kernel by default now, which can address more than 4GB of RAM, but each process is still limited to a 32-bit address space (4GB) | 17:05 |
| PatrickC | TJ-: i know my computr can handle the 64bit, ran it for a while | 17:06 |
| PatrickC | but some things i build require 32 bit to build | 17:06 |
| PatrickC | so would i be better off going your route or just running a VM? | 17:07 |
| delinquentme | if I want to put the password to a user name login ... inline with the ssh command ... how do I do this? | 17:07 |

| PatrickC | OerHeks: cool.. that still doesn't help the building issue ;) | 17:08 |
| OerHeks | Guest21031 some can help in the mint irc | 17:08 |
| genii-around | !mint | 17:08 |
| ubottu | Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 17:08 |
| TJ- | PatrickC: 32-bit user-space means less memory taken up by programs in many cases, since pointers and other CPU structures are only 4-bytes wide, not 8 bytes as they are on a 64-bit CPU. The advantage of a 64-bit CPU is, it has more general purpose registers so many functions can load their parameters into registers without needing intermediate reading/writing to (slow) RAM, thus making programs faster. That's why we say there's a trade-off and the cut-off point is aro | 17:08 |
| TJ- | und 2 or 3GB | 17:08 |
| PatrickC | gotcha.. i think i'll got with 64 then | 17:09 |
| TJ- | PatrickC: as OerHeks said, Debian and Ubuntu are now multiarch. That means that 64-bit and 32-bit libraries can be installed alongside each other. No longer do we have the pain of the old ia32libs issues | 17:10 |
| truexfan81 | PatrickC: if you take my route and not install a de, i found the easiest way to install xorg | 17:10 |
| PatrickC | truexfan81: when you say "DE" what do you mean? | 17:11 |
| PatrickC | never heard that term before | 17:11 |
| truexfan81 | desktop environment | 17:11 |
| truexfan81 | kde, xfce, mate, cinnamon, etc | 17:11 |
| TJ- | Always back-up your back-ups. DVD data recovery status: elapsed time 8 hours; estimated remaining 21 hours | 17:11 |
| PatrickC | ah, i always called them WM (window manager) | 17:11 |
| === JotaK2 is now known as JotaK | ||
| OerHeks | TJ-, i find building 32 bit apps on 64 bit quite hard to do | 17:11 |
| truexfan81 | but yeah if you take the route i did and not pick one in the installer, it will not install xorg | 17:12 |
| TJ- | OerHeks: Yeah, there are some issues until all the libraries are sorted out. I've hit a few issues with overlapping -dev packages | 17:12 |
| truexfan81 | the easy way i found to install that later is sudo apt-get install xinit | 17:12 |
| PatrickC | gotcha | 17:13 |
| PatrickC | downloading the 64 bit then burning it to a DVD in a few miuntes | 17:13 |
| PatrickC | stupid slow internet haha | 17:13 |
| TJ- | PatrickC: there's a difference between a DE and a WM: http://www.ghacks.net/2008/12/09/get-to-know-linux-desktop-environment-vs-window-manager/ | 17:13 |
| truexfan81 | if you internet is slow you are going to hate the installer | 17:13 |
| PatrickC | oh no | 17:13 |
| PatrickC | lol | 17:13 |
| truexfan81 | lots of data to be downloaded | 17:13 |
| PatrickC | i have about 3MBP/s | 17:13 |
| charlar28 | bits or bytes? | 17:14 |
| TJ- | It has to be downloaded one way or the other... better to use the minimal installer and only fetch the packages you want, than to download the server/live installer which contains packages you don't want | 17:14 |
| truexfan81 | mine is 22megabits, but i've seen torrents hit 3.4megabytes/second | 17:15 |
| PatrickC | TJ-: exactly.. that's why i want the minimal installer/server | 17:15 |
| captine | PatrickC, i can dream of getting that speed. | 17:15 |
| PatrickC | captine: what you on? | 17:15 |
| * TJ- laughs. This is beginning to sound like a Monty Python sketch | 17:15 | |

| jenia | and there's a line there to allow anonymous connection | 17:18 |

| jenia | i would like to to be like in ssh | 17:19 |
| truexfan81 | PatrickC: one sec i'll look in my logs and see what the package was, it was python-something | 17:19 |

| captine | PatrickC, have you used Unity much? I am really enjoying it. Seen lots of different views, but it works really well for me as a casual user | 17:19 |
| PatrickC | i hate unity | 17:20 |
| odinsbane | I have a new computer and ubuntu does not recognize the internet cable. it works fine from windows so the connection should work. | 17:20 |

| CTLwm | try MATE | 17:21 |
| truexfan81 | ok that will be much easier then | 17:21 |
| CTLwm | its like the old gnome shell | 17:21 |

| jenia | what a DE? | 17:22 |
| PatrickC | i love gnome 2 | 17:22 |
| truexfan81 | thats what mate is | 17:22 |
| PatrickC | truexfan81: no kidding... | 17:22 |
| CTLwm | truexfan18: i meant gnome shell in general nothing particular; i.e. gnome 3 or gnome 2.... | 17:22 |
| charlar28 | jenia, probably reading the config file of ftp you can find what you need | 17:22 |
| CTLwm | and yes the old gnome shell is the gnome 2 or previous versions | 17:23 |
| jenia | okay thanks | 17:23 |
| truexfan81 | PatrickC: when gnome dropped gnome2 mate project picked it up | 17:23 |
| PatrickC | nice! | 17:23 |

| TommehM | odinsbane, I got the answer to that when reading it. :p | 17:40 |
| Ihsan008 | Oh, official thread, nice :). So do you always use optirun <application> to run with nvidia or is it possible to just use nvidia card only? This was my alst question :) | 17:40 |
| Ihsan008 | Oh, and what is the best to use Ubuntu 32bit or 64bit (without dual boot) | 17:41 |
| TommehM | Just by reading the last part where he states it refuses to get an IP, I would have just done dhclient eth0 :p | 17:41 |
| dr_willis_ | i use64bit on all 64bit hardware | 17:41 |
| hylian | Ihsan008: what is an alst question? ;) | 17:41 |
| PatrickC | installing ubuntu minimalistic, says "missing firmware brcm/bcm43xx-0.fw" | 17:41 |
| Ihsan008 | last*, sorry :$ | 17:41 |

| === entropy-2 is now known as entropy- | ||
| Ihsan008 | Haha I see ;) | 17:42 |
| captine | Ihsan008, once installed, you need to use the command "optirun" and then the application you are opening, to activate the nvidia card. after some searching, found an application called "Main Menu" which lets you edit the launchers in ubuntu. you can add "optirun" to the "command" option | 17:44 |
| TJ- | zetheroo: There may be a setting you can find using 'gsettings' | 17:44 |
| zetheroo | TJ-: man, I wish :P | 17:45 |
| Ihsan008 | Okay, well, I got all the info I was looking for, for now. I'm really happy with the IRC and (professional) help! Thank you, I'm gonna install Ubuntu now! :) Bye | 17:47 |

| Thisguy_ | I set up iptables to block everything after it accepts on port 80, but it just blocks everything. I tried -P DROP, and also tried -A -j DROP for INPUT, ofc not the same time. Neither worked... -j DROP WAS on the end btw. | 17:48 |
| === Guest25082 is now known as xazax_ | ||
| Thisguy_ | Tried those with -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT | 17:49 |

| TJ- | Thisguy_: why are repeatedly pasting a link to a pastebin? How about asking a question!? | 17:59 |
| Thisguy_ | OH. You mean what's it of. Sorry. It's my firewall rules as requested by escott... | 17:59 |
| trism | zetheroo: no, I mean dual pane was removed (so I suppose no option too) | 17:59 |

| Thisguy_ | I wanted help, since whether DROP all is in back or front it seems to take precedence. I can't set my firewall up. | 18:00 |
| zetheroo | trism: so dual pane is completely removed in 3.5? | 18:00 |
| Thisguy_ | Of course, it's not on that RIGHT now. | 18:00 |
| Thisguy_ | Flushed INPUT. | 18:00 |
| escott | Thisguy_, what is "dpt" | 18:00 |

| Basilic | hello all, I have do a big mistake, I launch "apt-get remove python", and most program was remove, can I reinstall all default program? | 18:01 |
| TJ- | deffrag: Pipe it through "less" ... as in man <somepage> | less | 18:02 |
| llutz | Thisguy_: you're running neither http nor irc server, so what sense does your Chain "INPUT" make? | 18:03 |
| TJ- | deffrag: Or do you mean 'search' the page? in that case, when 'man' has started, press "/" and type a regular-expression to search for. Press Enter to search. Press "n" for 'next' match. Use "?" to search backwards. | 18:03 |
| xangua | Basilic: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ; should reinstall all default programs...what were you even trying to do that you even ignored the warning that a lot or packages were hoing to be removed :P | 18:03 |
| mbeierl | uget: you use the alternate CD, not the live CD. Then follow the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades#Upgrading_Using_the_Alternate_CD.2BAC8-DVD | 18:03 |
| TJ- | Thisguy_: Your rules are on the INPUT chain; that is packets coming into an interface from an external connection. | 18:03 |
| Pici | TJ-: man uses your $PAGER, which is less by default. | 18:03 |
| Thisguy_ | How about I put what i want in words XD I want to block all input except what I need to go on the web. | 18:04 |
| rjune | I'm trying to preseed an Ubuntu installation I have "d-i tasksel/first multiselect standard, edubuntu-desktop" But the installation is not installing the edubuntu-desktop | 18:04 |
| TJ- | Pici: I know, but I misread the implication of the question initially and thought the problem was the man page output scrolling past too fast | 18:04 |
| === BEC is now known as hadron | ||
| Pici | TJ-: ah | 18:04 |
| llutz | Thisguy_: you don't need to allow anything in INPUT to access irc/web | 18:05 |
| Thisguy_ | When I tell INPUT to drop everything, I cannot use either. | 18:05 |
| deffrag | TJ-: No, plain command to fetch particular flag description | 18:05 |
| deffrag | I remember reading it somewhere, it was probably using awk or something, not able to remember | 18:05 |
| TJ- | deffrag: I'm not aware there is one, that's why man uses a pager that has regexp search abilities | 18:05 |
| Thisguy_ | Again, perhaps I'm accidentally telling it not to accept loopback input? | 18:06 |
| TJ- | deffrag: You could use grep -A x -B y .... of course | 18:06 |
| mbeierl | Thisguy_, you need to allow estisting connections to be accepted in input. This must come before the drop: iptables -A INPUT -m state --state RELATED, ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT | 18:06 |
| TJ- | Thisguy_: What you want is a rule to allow existing ESTABLISHED, RELATED connections | 18:06 |
| deffrag | TJ-: Yes, what is $PAGER in man? | 18:07 |

| hashem | Cong, how do I do that? | 18:20 |

| dr_willis_ | machicola: i dont think so | 18:20 |
| dr_willis_ | !headers | 18:21 |
| ubottu | To install the Linux (kernel) headers, open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) To install headers for libraries, you need the accompanying -dev packages | 18:21 |
| machicola | nice, thanks dr_willis | 18:23 |
| hashem | Cong, in the packages.ubuntu.com in the precise updates repo there is shotwell 12.3. I added the ppa for yorba, which has shotwell 13. Shouldn't that override the precise updates repo? | 18:23 |
| Cong | I think. Download the source and compile it yourself. | 18:24 |
| TJ- | hashem: "apt-cache policy shotwell" will tell you what versions will/are installed, and where they'll come from | 18:24 |

| Bossdos | had 120 GB with mint so chose 10 GB with ubuntu thinking i could just use my mint drives | 18:28 |
| Bossdos | i cant find it | 18:28 |
| Bossdos | downloaded a partion program | 18:29 |
| Bossdos | what file system does ubuntu use? | 18:29 |
| escott | Bossdos, you want to use the mint $HOME? | 18:29 |
| Bossdos | Hi escott! | 18:29 |
| miraj | Boosdos : what filesystem were you using with Mint? | 18:29 |
| Bossdos | I just deleted everything | 18:29 |
| xibalba | hey folks, anyone have a way i can tell how many GHZ I'm actually getting inside of a linux box that's a virtual machine"? | 18:29 |
| Bossdos | just want the space for programming and file storage 10GB isnt enough | 18:29 |
| Bossdos | Hi miraj, i was using ext2 | 18:30 |
| miraj | Bossdos : how did you "delete everything"? | 18:30 |
| escott | xibalba, the GHZ don't change, performance will be lower because of some overhead and because you don't allocate all cpus to the vm | 18:31 |
| Bossdos | miraj: I used a windows, during the installation (Vista) i had the option to delete | 18:31 |
| escott | Bossdos, ext4 is standard for ubuntu these days. unclear what you did "i just deleted everything" doesn't mean much to me | 18:31 |
| Bossdos | escott: I used a windows, during the installation (Vista) i had the option to delete | 18:32 |
| miraj | Bossdos : do you mean the Vista install program deleted the entire Mint partition? | 18:32 |
| Bossdos | miraj: Yeah, the HD size is 750 MB allocated 500 to Vista, the rest was Mint and just deleted it | 18:33 |
| crizis | i'm quite confident you cannot install vista to 500 MB | 18:33 |

| Bossdos | crizis: Sorry i ment GB | 18:33 |
| PatrickC | who in their right mind wants to install vista?! :P | 18:34 |
| miraj | Bossdos : that means there is no more Mint drive for ubuntu to use. You've need to use some re-partitioning software to make Vista give back some space | 18:34 |
| crizis | PatrickC, someone who needs windows and happens to have license for it? | 18:34 |

| codeMonkey | Hello all. I am trying to complete a full, uncompressed backup of my / directory to an external hard disk (preserving permissions and ownership) in Ubuntu 12.04. The hard disk is /dev/sdd with a single ext3 partition. I have /dev/sdd1 mounted to /mnt/external. The command that I am using to complete this is "tar cvf - * | ( cd /mnt/external; tar xfp -) | 18:34 |
| codeMonkey | The problem I am running into is that the tar command is also hitting /mnt which hits /mnt/external and loops the backup of itself. | 18:35 |

| PatrickC | crizis: i guess that might work.. | 18:35 |
| PatrickC | but i would rather run xp over vista myself | 18:35 |
| codeMonkey | I have tried to use --exclude=/mnt with and without quotes and with and without wildcards and it never excludes properly | 18:35 |
| hashem | codeMonkey, just use dd | 18:35 |
| codeMonkey | Mostly because I have not been suggested rsync before. Would it do a better job? | 18:35 |
| llutz | codeMonkey: --one-file-system is what you want | 18:36 |
| escott | codeMonkey, rsync would be easier, and would be resumable | 18:36 |
| codeMonkey | I am under the impression was not viable for backups like I am doing. Is that incorrect? | 18:36 |
| === dpac is now known as dpac|away | ||
| escott | codeMonkey, you cannot use dd to backup a mounted filesystem | 18:36 |
| miraj | Bossdos : if Vista has taken all the disk space on SDA for itself, there just is nothing left for ubuntu | 18:36 |
| codeMonkey | Thats what I thought | 18:36 |
| codeMonkey | OK. I will go read man rsync and give it a shot. also, --one-file-system would alleviate this with tar? Just in case? | 18:37 |
| llutz | codeMonkey: you don't want to backup /dev, /sys /mnt etc.pp. so tar --one-file-system or rsync -x should be used | 18:38 |
| Bossdos | miraj: The total space is 750 GB, 500 GB - Vista , 10 -GB Ubuntu , however i cant get ubuntu to see the rest of the space no what format i partion it to :( | 18:38 |
| escott | codeMonkey, you are also not preserving permissions with your current tar command. | 18:38 |
| miraj | Bossdos : what do you have for partitions? | 18:38 |
| Bossdos | miraj: would it be okay if i PM'd you? | 18:39 |
| miraj | no | 18:39 |
| escott | codeMonkey, you want something like: "rsync -xp / /mnt/external/snapshots/YYYYMMDD" | 18:39 |
| codeMonkey | Ok. So to sum up, I need to use rsync with -x to exclude the specified directories as well as w/e command I read up on shortly to copy permission. Will do thanks :) | 18:39 |
| codeMonkey | I will give it a shot thanks escott :) | 18:39 |
| === p4kdh3 is now known as modem_pinjeman | ||

| CTLwm | Koen_: Have you confirmed that the port is open and visible with the service running? | 18:45 |
| mmoebius | Koen_: use tcpdump or wireshark to see if there are any packets incoming from the source ip at all | 18:45 |
| === hadron_ is now known as hadron | ||
| llutz | Koen_: no output? means no service listening on that port at all or you're using (x)inetd or something like that | 18:46 |
| CTLwm | Koen_: I would recommend you to test it out with canyouseeme.org and post results of ur port | 18:46 |
| mmoebius | Koen_: and use 'iptables -nvL ' to see if ther rules really are gone and every policy is "ACCEPT" | 18:46 |
| CTLwm | mmoebius: I guess the new ubuntu version has ufw instead of iptables; not sure though | 18:47 |
| === PAK_COK is now known as bu_KIKI | ||

| Koen_ | 'iptables -nvL ' gives me following result iptables v1.4.12: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?) | 18:48 |
| Koen_ | Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded. | 18:48 |
| === RIKARDA is now known as bu_NORA | ||
| Koen_ | so that means i'm not running iptables right? | 18:49 |
| mmoebius | CTLwm: ufw is an iptables frontend. | 18:49 |
| mmoebius | Koen_: you are running iptables if using *buntu | 18:49 |
| mmoebius | Koen_: Did you execute that as root ? | 18:50 |
| mmoebius | Koen_: because that is required, so 'sudo ...' should do the trick | 18:50 |
| Koen_ | yes, i'm running server version of ubuntu 12.04 | 18:50 |
| Koen_ | i disabled firewall now i think | 18:50 |

| crizis | hadron, status also lists open ports, likely common ones are open by default | 19:02 |

| hadron | *skip | 19:03 |
| crizis | hadron, well, then it's on and working | 19:05 |
| crizis | hadron, however you have 'deny' on which means firewall will inform the source that packet has been rejected, whereas 'reject' completely drops packet | 19:06 |
| hadron | crizis, I remember very well that when on 10.04 I dida port scan & got all stealth! (do you think its an ISP thing?) | 19:06 |
| crizis | no, it's on and working | 19:07 |
| crizis | if you start service in some port, you cannot connect to it, that's for sure | 19:07 |
| crizis | that port scan is so windows 95 | 19:07 |

| hadron | crizis, its GRC's shieldsUP: https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 | 19:08 |
| crizis | hadron, 'ufw default reject in' changes to reject instead of deny | 19:08 |
| Bossdos | ubuntu, is simply amazing! Way better than windows and the user interface is better than linux mint! | 19:08 |
| crizis | still that pot scanning is useless | 19:08 |
| hadron | crizis, isn't deny better given that no response to the "service", which could be a ping, scan or attack, than giving a feedback? | 19:09 |
| tryingUbuntu | is there an alternate for sound other than alsa? I have a newer Hp with 4 speakers and the sound is REALLY bad! | 19:10 |
| crizis | irrelevant which is it | 19:10 |
| hadron | crizis, besides, why is ufw off by default? | 19:10 |
| crizis | why it should be on | 19:10 |
| crizis | there are no services installed by default | 19:10 |

| kodak | Hello all | 19:24 |
| MonkeyDust | _XMENDES start with a question, if you want help | 19:25 |
| kodak | first off, bravo on the installer, very smooth and smart looking (this is my way of saying "fresh install") | 19:25 |
| Koen_ | btw, guys, ive resently used SSD card to install linux on, but when i try to format it in windows trough installation process, i can't access the drive anymore, anyone an idea howto format drive in ubuntu to make it accessible again? | 19:25 |
| hadron | PatrickC, for example, my system: 4 partitions: 1 factory utilities, 1 Diagnostics, 1 Windows, 1 Extended (another win partition, & 4 linux partitions) | 19:25 |
| _XMENDES | ok .. i have a token certified.. on the program token admin.. it works. | 19:25 |
| _XMENDES | but on my java certified its dont work | 19:26 |
| MonkeyDust | _XMENDES in 1 line please | 19:26 |
| kodak | Hows does one, A, get latest nvidia drivers and, B, make sure SLI is on(it isnt now, one core card is hot, the other cold) | 19:26 |
| hadron | I suggest you make an primary partition if its only 1 partition; otherwise make an extended if u plan to divide ur linux partition | 19:26 |
| _XMENDES | ok .. i have a token certified.. on the program token admin.. it works. but on my java certified its dont work | 19:26 |
| cromag | Koen_: an idea could be formatting it from ubuntu with ntfs system on it | 19:26 |
| hadron | PatrickC, https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/ | 19:26 |
| PatrickC | na, no dividing | 19:26 |
| Koen_ | thx cromag, gonna try it | 19:26 |
| cromag | read about mkfs.ntfs i think it's called | 19:27 |
| hadron | PatrickC, what partitions do u plan on? | 19:27 |
| PatrickC | primary ubuntu and windows 7 | 19:27 |
| PatrickC | was thinking about moving /home to a separate partition, but not gonna | 19:27 |
| wilee-nilee | Koen_, Is there an unallocated space for windows to see? If you make a NTFS in ubuntu for the install put a bootflag on that partition | 19:28 |
| _XMENDES | nothing? | 19:28 |
| hadron | PatrickC, I suggest: Extended partition under which there is at least / & /home (that's better if ur / failed or ur doing a fresh isntall; u dont format the /home & u keep ur data 7 preferences) | 19:28 |
| gordonjcp | _XMENDES: #java maybe? | 19:28 |
| _XMENDES | i gonna try there.. tks | 19:29 |

| Oimel1987 | I have two HDDs in my Notebook. How can i install the partitions so that the core system is on HDD 1 and the userdata and installed programs on HDD2 ? | 20:14 |
| diablotin | I compile it and I have a problem with the authentification | 20:14 |
| diablotin | I can attach a device (my cell phone) without wpa | 20:15 |
| miraj | Oimel1987 : partition it, create a filesystem on it, and add it to your fstab | 20:15 |
| diablotin | and as soon as I set wpa to protocol 1 or 2 i can't attach my phone | 20:15 |
| diablotin | could you help me gordonjcp ? | 20:15 |
| Oimel1987 | miraj: i want to make a fresh ubuntu install on it | 20:16 |
| diablotin | here is the error message I get "deauthenticated due to local deauth request" | 20:16 |
| diablotin | any clue ? | 20:16 |
| miraj | Oimel1987 : from what you said you wanted to do, you'd do the fresh ubuntu install on SDA, then setup drive SDB and add it to your fstab file | 20:17 |

| miraj | HeadlessZombie : a 4gb system drive is scarcely enough | 20:21 |
| HeadlessZombie | adduser | 20:21 |
| diablotin | vacho_: add the new user to the admin group | 20:21 |
| guntbert_ | vacho_: you don't need one | 20:21 |
| vacho_ | I don't need one? | 20:22 |
| guntbert_ | !root | vacho_ | 20:22 |
| ubottu | vacho_: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 20:22 |
| HeadlessZombie | you have 1 already | 20:22 |
| vacho_ | ok. | 20:22 |

| gordonjcp | vacho_: don't set a root password | 20:23 |

| guntbert_ | vacho_: adduser has an otion to create a "system" user, try that | 20:23 |
| guntbert_ | *option | 20:23 |
| gordonjcp | vacho_: the whole idea of having a root login is utterly obsolete | 20:24 |

| lun4tic | the damn unity bar always stays on top in windowed mode | 20:26 |
| miraj | Yes, it's better when every script with sudo command in it can take complete control of the system. More modern. | 20:26 |
| gordonjcp | miraj: how would that happen? | 20:26 |
| Cyberspaceloa | can't believe people are still arguing about this | 20:27 |
| gordonjcp | Cyberspaceloa: yeah. The matter was settled in the early 1980s | 20:28 |
| gordonjcp | Cyberspaceloa: sudo replaces having a root login. Anything else is atavism | 20:28 |
| oslinux_ | When I watch a video on youtube with the html5 player why the other applications have no sound ? | 20:28 |
| crundar_ | how do you set limit which users can delete files. That doesn't fit under the rwx rubric I'm thinking of. Do I have to use ACLs to manage that? | 20:29 |
| gordonjcp | crundar_: delete, but still be able to write? | 20:29 |
| dhanasekaran | Hi Guys Filter Out Duplicate IP Addresses in network it's any automated tool is there | 20:29 |
| gordonjcp | crundar_: there may be some extended attribute for that | 20:29 |
| crundar_ | either? | 20:29 |
| crundar_ | is delete normally treated as write as well? | 20:30 |
| gordonjcp | crundar_: if you make something read-only it cannot be deleted *or* written but it doesn't sound like that's what you want | 20:30 |
| Cyberspaceloa | crundar_ you'd want to utilize groups, I'd think | 20:30 |
| gordonjcp | crundar_: ACLs are a world of pain | 20:30 |
| TJ- | crundar_: You set the permissions on the *directory* that contains the files. | 20:30 |
| ditoa | just installed 12.04 in a VM | 20:30 |
| Cyberspaceloa | and only add the users you want to give permissions to into the appropriate group | 20:30 |
| ditoa | wow! linux has come a long way. looks amazing | 20:31 |
| gordonjcp | ditoa: since when? *All* OSes have come a long way... | 20:31 |
| crundar_ | well, I want my whole group to be able to create, but no user able to delete anyone else's stuff. This is a shared directory | 20:31 |
| gordonjcp | well, Plan 9 hasn't really | 20:31 |
| i7c | gordonjcp: except some :p | 20:31 |
| ditoa | well ive not used linux since ~2004 | 20:31 |
| rstrt | Afternoon, everyone. Can anyone tell me the command to add my windows 7 install from /dev/sdb to grub? The google results I get have a crazy amount of variance between links | 20:31 |
| crundar_ | I'm trying to set up a shared media drive for the house | 20:32 |
| gordonjcp | crundar_: okay, so normal permissions and umask | 20:32 |
| Cyberspaceloa | well, I'm no professional admin or anything, crundar_ | 20:32 |
| gordonjcp | ditoa: I'm not sure what you would be comparing it with, then | 20:32 |
| Cyberspaceloa | but to my thinking you can make the parent folder accessible globally | 20:32 |
| gordonjcp | ditoa: it hasn't really changed significantly | 20:32 |
| crundar_ | me neither. | 20:32 |
| Cyberspaceloa | and then give each user their own folder with the proper permissions | 20:32 |
| ditoa | one question tho, how do i disable the animations in the WM? | 20:32 |
| gordonjcp | crundar_: so basically you can use umask to specify the "default" permissions of files created in a directory | 20:32 |
| guntbert_ | gordonjcp: would the sticky bit help in crundar_'s case? | 20:33 |
| ditoa | well the whole interface is totally different to classic gnome i used back in 2004 | 20:33 |

| === THEJOLLYGRIMREAP is now known as thejollygrimrepe | ||
| gordonjcp | takyon29: probably best to ask in #wine | 20:34 |
| ditoa | i think i could quite easily replace windows with ubuntu providing all the hardware worked as it should | 20:34 |
| Cyberspaceloa | I think you'd need to find a wine/pol specific group, takyon29 | 20:34 |
| gordonjcp | takyon29: possibly #winehq, can't remember | 20:34 |
| gordonjcp | ditoa: depends what you're trying to do | 20:34 |
| Cyberspaceloa | crundar_ did your question get answered? | 20:35 |
| ditoa | just as a simple end user; web, office, music, movies, iplayer, some light python work | 20:35 |
| takyon29 | okay thanks. i'll ask that server. | 20:35 |
| crundar_ | Cyberspaceloa: Well I'm investigating umask. I didn't know that it affected a particular directory. I just thought it affected the given proccess it was set for | 20:35 |
| rstrt | Anyone know how to add Win7 to grub? (Treat me like a complete idiot lol) | 20:36 |
| gordonjcp | ditoa: pretty much; it's really good for general software dev stuff too | 20:36 |
| andreb | i tired last weekend to upgrade from 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS ..via the online update and even by the alternate disk.. and both ways it failed... how can i clean my apt-get so i will be able to install programs.. cuz right now any time i try to install anything via apt get it keeps asaking me for teh cd | 20:36 |
| ActionParsnip | rstrt: try: sudo update-grub | 20:36 |
| takyon29 | #wine seems to be an invite only channel | 20:36 |
| crundar_ | Cyberspaceloa: so I didn't think, unless i set the default umask for the other users, that it would work. but maybe. tl;dr. no, not yet. | 20:36 |
| guntbert_ | crundar_: not sure if you got my suggestion of using the sticky bit on the directoy | 20:36 |
| jrib | !wine | takyon29 | 20:36 |
| ditoa | i really like how unity works, a lot nicer than using windows 8 | 20:36 |

| ActionParsnip | andreb: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list comment out the top 3 lines which reference the CD, save the new file, close get and run: sudo apt-get update | 20:37 |
| rstrt | ActionParsnip; Once I update it, how can I verify that there it does actually see windows? | 20:37 |
| ditoa | gordonjcp, ok | 20:37 |
| crundar_ | Cyberspaceloa: yeah. like a shared media drive. I want everyone in the group to be able to drop off movies and stuff, but not delete anyone elses | 20:37 |
| crundar_ | I've got the room | 20:37 |
| ActionParsnip | rstrt: you will see Windows in the output of the command if it's picked up | 20:38 |
| andreb | k | 20:38 |
| rstrt | It didn't pick up the windows install | 20:38 |
| Cyberspaceloa | crundar_ what I would do is give each user a single folder in which they could write | 20:38 |
| TJ- | crundar_: You just need to set the sticky bit on the parent directory "chmod +t </some/dir>" | 20:38 |
| Cyberspaceloa | also, give global r_x access to every folder | 20:38 |
| TJ- | crundar_: That ensures that only the *owner* can do deletions | 20:39 |
| Cyberspaceloa | everyone can read anyone's folder, but they can only write to their own | 20:39 |
| andreb | thanks | 20:39 |

| ActionParsnip | Chris123: you can use: sudo lshw -C network; lsusb in Ubuntu. You have reached for ndiswrapper when it may not be needed in any way. | 21:03 |

| ActionParsnip | zma: let me search | 21:04 |

| Chris123 | ActionParsnip: On the ubuntu wiki it says that ndiswrapper is the only way | 21:04 |

| zykotick9 | !nomodeset | _XMENDES: did you try this? | 21:10 |
| ubottu | _XMENDES: did you try this?: 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 | 21:10 |
| _XMENDES | my station only works with 10.10 .. (nvidia 96 running) | 21:11 |
| ActionParsnip | tuxmatt: thats fine, and very welcomed :) | 21:11 |
| ActionParsnip | _XMENDES: its a dead release, the OS will run but there are zero updates and zero support in any of the ubuntu channels | 21:11 |
| _XMENDES | but its not problem now.. my problem is a CCID card. | 21:11 |
| zykotick9 | _XMENDES: oh, 96 driver. that COULD be an issue. best of luck. you might want to consider another distro, if ubuntu doesn't work-out. 'cause using 10.10 is NOT a good idea. | 21:11 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | Where do I find the windows configurator on 12.04 live cd? | 21:11 |

| PatrickC | anyone on a minimalistic install? | 21:11 |
| zma | Basic: I want my old kernel versions to stay there, but want any other duplicates to stay. I know I have several OS installed and the real number of menu entries should be around 15-16. But I have 48 after running Grub Customizer application. | 21:12 |
| _XMENDES | eheheheh | 21:12 |

| PatrickC | ActionParsnip: how do i get it to boot from the grub> command prompt? | 21:12 |
| ActionParsnip | zma: I suggest you contact the customiser app maker than | 21:12 |
| PatrickC | i've loaded the initrd and the kernel | 21:12 |
| _XMENDES | my only problem now is the reader .. ccid reader for smartcards | 21:12 |
| zykotick9 | PatrickC: you have a grub issue. | 21:12 |
| zykotick9 | PatrickC: i'd recommend reinstalling grub from live media. | 21:12 |
| PatrickC | zykotick9: on a brand new install? | 21:12 |
| ActionParsnip | _XMENDES: your release isn't supported. I keep telling you | 21:13 |
| Basic | zma are you multi booting 15-16 Linux operating systems | 21:13 |
| zma | ActionParsnip: Well, maybe for reporting bug. I just want to know if there is some way to generate new GRUB2 menu from scratch, like first deleting something manually and then running update-grub2 command | 21:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Basic: some 3rd party thing has bothed the config | 21:13 |

| tuxmatt | ActionParsnip, yea i know but if someone is having a software problem they shoud get support | 21:16 |

| rob_p | ki7rw: If it's greyed out, that probably means you need to install that language pack. | 21:18 |
| ki7rw | rob_p: a bunch of packages were installed for spanish | 21:19 |

| black_ | card* | 22:08 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | ActionParsnip: Ahaha! I'm amazing. I just hacked myself...oh wait. | 22:09 |
| imadam | Hello folks, for some reason ubuntu 12.04 wont detect my screen, is this an issue with my video card? | 22:09 |
| ActionParsnip | black_: then use USB....no wastage. Suprised you use CDs still | 22:09 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | imadam: what video card? | 22:10 |
| ActionParsnip | imadam: which video chip? | 22:10 |
| zykotick9 | black_: fyi, my esata cable is NOT hot pluggable - meaning i have to reboot for it to appear (fyi it usually appears as sda, in my case). A FEW motherboards support eSATA hotplugging, i get the impression most do not :( best of luck. | 22:10 |
| imadam | Can't find the full name as I can't boot the system, although its a nvidia. | 22:10 |
| rhizmoe | if i have a symlink to a directory in my home directory, ~/foo -> /tmp/foo say, when I cd to ~/foo I'd like the path to be /tmp/foo rather than ~/foo, is there a way to cd into the destination of the symlink rather than pwd showing the symlink itself. | 22:11 |
| black_ | my motherboard dont support prot multiplying | 22:11 |
| zykotick9 | !nomodeset | imadam are you currently using this? | 22:11 |
| ubottu | imadam are you currently using this?: 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 | 22:11 |
| black_ | so i cant use eSATA | 22:11 |
| imadam | any advice, was working like normal for a few days now my screen just wont detect. | 22:11 |
| ActionParsnip | imadam: try the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1 | 22:11 |
| ActionParsnip | imadam: did you install the nvidia proprietary driver? | 22:12 |
| zykotick9 | imadam: nomodeset only applies for nvidia (and possibly ati) cards. | 22:12 |
| imadam | ActionParsnip nope I didn't, | 22:12 |
| imadam | ActionParsnip Just can't boot now, nothing will load on my screen. | 22:12 |
| morgan | mmmm nope that wasn't it lol | 22:12 |
| ActionParsnip | imadam: try the nouveau.blacklist=1 option | 22:12 |
| ActionParsnip | imadam: hold SHIFT at boot is a start | 22:13 |

| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: from a livecd? isn't it press a key at the first opportunity? | 22:13 |
| imadam | ActionParsnip would it work if I just do a fresh install via cd then insall the driver? | 22:13 |
| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: i think both fly, not sure tbh | 22:13 |
| zykotick9 | imadam: oh is it installed already? | 22:14 |
| ActionParsnip | imadam: sure but you already have the install. If you boot to root recovery mode you can just run: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current and it will install | 22:14 |
| zykotick9 | imadam: if it's installed, use ActionParsnip "shift" at boot suggestion to edit grub (to test - it's only 1 time if you edit it that way) | 22:14 |
| imadam | zykotick9 ActionParsnip: Thanks guys, I believe I access my boot menu via DEL tho. | 22:15 |
| imadam | Will try this suggestion. Was just odd it stopped working. | 22:15 |
| zykotick9 | imadam: it's not BIOS, but GRUB we want! | 22:15 |
| imadam | Oh got you! | 22:15 |
| imadam | Will try now and let you know how I get on. Thanks! | 22:16 |
| zykotick9 | imadam: and it's HOLD shift after BIOS | 22:16 |

| imadam | zykotick9 I'm not even getting BIOS at boot. | 22:16 |
| ki7rw | gerbilcabbagehai: i was able to move it to the top, apply systemwide, loged out/in but it didn't take | 22:16 |
| zykotick9 | imadam: in that case, it's not an #ubuntu issue. just sayin' | 22:16 |
| imadam | Was thinking that, it may be an issue with my videocard. | 22:17 |

| zykotick9 | ki7rw: the problem (as i see it). possibly, you could change the entire system to spanish (which i don't think you want), or you need the setting to be user specific AND stay through restart ;) best of luck man. | 22:23 |
| smj | how can I open a remote desktop via SSH in to a window? | 22:24 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | smj: ssh name@server | 22:24 |
| smj | gerbilcabbagehai: I mean X11 desktop in a window | 22:25 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | then start x I would think. i know how to do the terminal ssh, but the x11 is a new one for me | 22:25 |
| smj | remote Xfce4, in a window. | 22:25 |
| ki7rw | zykotick9: i had her seesion set up for spanish when i had mandriva installed but since mandriva doesn't have adequate support i changed all my pc's to ubuntu - anyway, it should have been a "slam-dunk" to set her up on ubuntu | 22:25 |
| zykotick9 | gerbilcabbagehai: you don't run startx with ssh X forwarding! | 22:25 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | see? | 22:26 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | :D | 22:26 |
| zykotick9 | ki7rw: sorry man, i've NEVER had to change my language from english (aka C) ;) | 22:26 |
| ActionParsnip | smj: what do you intend to do on the remote system? | 22:27 |
| Ironsight | If you want a remote x11 desktop over the network, check out vnc | 22:27 |
| ki7rw | ok, i'll keep "hacking" away until i get it working or break stuff | 22:27 |
| smj | ActionParsnip: nothing really, I'm just exploring | 22:28 |
| ActionParsnip | smj: gotcha, nothing bad there | 22:28 |
| ActionParsnip | !vnc | smj | 22:29 |
| ubottu | smj: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 22:29 |
| smj | does that require extra server software on the server-side? | 22:29 |
| zykotick9 | smj: fyi you need to use "ssh -X user@server" to use X forwarding, but that allows you to open a single application, not the entire destktop. fyi, you can run/tunnel vnc over ssh somehow (don't ask me, i've never done it - remote desktop makes no sense to me, with Xforwarding being a possibility - YES sometime a gui app is handy remotely ;) | 22:29 |
| visitor000 | i want to add some startup parameter to it to run forever | 22:30 |
| zykotick9 | smj: also you ssh server must have X-forwarding enabled for above to work! | 22:30 |
| visitor000 | the /etc/init.d/mysqld script is a linkt o /lib/init/upstart-job | 22:31 |
| smj | I have X-forwarding enabled, but I don't like the way it mixes with the local desktop environmetn | 22:31 |
| visitor000 | wher is the actual script? i want to add some startup parameters; namely set LD_PRELOAD= | 22:31 |
| zykotick9 | visitor000: good luck - you're going to need it. hope you find an answer/solution. | 22:31 |
| ActionParsnip | smj: what's fun is running audio apps via ssh -X and then playing sound. The audio comes out of the server but the playback is controlled on the client | 22:32 |

| odinsban1 | Odd the alps touchpad bug seems to have been taken care of, but now it doesn't work. Maybe I have too new of a kernel? | 22:44 |
| AcE_punK | I'm gonna install a system with these paritions: /boot, /, /var, /tmp, /usr. But cannot consider sizes..I have 97 G of free space. thanks | 22:44 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | AcE_punK: for what reasons are you partitioning? | 22:46 |
| Nathandim | Have you considered to let them all in one place? | 22:46 |
| AcE_punK | and /swap of course, but swap and usr is not important | 22:46 |
| LarsN | AcE_punK: well, it strongly depends on what you're doing to do with the system. if it's a database host you likely need a much larger /var than if its not. /home is likely important if it's a desktop. Kind of hard to answer without a complete picture. | 22:46 |
| Nathandim | ugh new updates that want restart | 22:46 |
| LarsN | AcE_punK: my system has 32g / -- 8g swap -- 1g /boot -- and the rest of the 96gb SSD in /home | 22:48 |
| LarsN | it's a general use laptop :/ | 22:48 |
| AcE_punK | I'll install KDM afterwards..so /usr is important and I'll leave the rest of free space to it. But the more important part is root, var and temporary storage partitions..and I think 512 K is enough for boot. swap can be satisfied with 4G i guess(core i5 ) ..what do you think? | 22:48 |

| usr13 | AcE_punK: I think it is only important to have separate /home/ So, that would mean 3 partitions for Ubuntu, swap /home/ and / | 22:58 |
| usr13 | AcE_punK: So you have 601G to use for Ubuntu? | 22:58 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | visitor000: you'll want to change the version to your setup of course | 22:58 |
| usr13 | AcE_punK: If that is correct, I would suggest, 8G swap, 20G / and the rest for /home/ | 22:59 |
| AcE_punK | usr13: Nah. it's an external storage. I can use 97G of HDD for installation. | 22:59 |
| xibalba | . | 23:00 |
| usr13 | AcE_punK: Ok: 8G for swap, 10G / and rest for /home/ | 23:00 |
| HeadlessZombie | depends on what you use the comp for. its very easy to exceed 20gb in "/" | 23:00 |

| usr13 | AcE_punK: swap is as the name implies, an area to swap files back and forth to and from. Sort of like RAM but it is on the hard drive. As you work on larg files, these large files may first be loaded into RAM but may be shifted to swap as you and your PC performs other tasks. The OS makes these decisions in the background. | 23:19 |

| L1 | jasc: What happens, for example, when you type in "/join #debian" (without the quotes) | 23:20 |
| usr13 | AcE_punK: When there is need for geater speed, RAM is used, when speed is not so important, swap is used so that more of your RAM can be free for other tasks. | 23:21 |
| jasc | jrib: i click on one of those on the list, then I click connect. I noticed that all those others connect to port 6667 except for this one. | 23:21 |

| jrib | jasc: so do all the ones that fail not use port 6667? | 23:23 |
| usr13 | AcE_punK: Better link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq | 23:24 |
| usr13 | AcE_punK: Ok | 23:24 |
| usr13 | AcE_punK: My original recommendation still stands. | 23:25 |
| pizzadude | hey can anyone help me? my lifecam vx-2000 webcam isn't working in cheese anymore. it works in guvcview but it skips. | 23:25 |
| pizzadude | here is the post on askubuntu with the output http://askubuntu.com/questions/191146/microsoft-lifecam-vx-2000-doesnt-work-anymore-in-cheese | 23:25 |
| usr13 | AcE_punK: 8G swap, 20G / & the rest for /home/ | 23:25 |
| jasc | jrib: no, those that fail use port 6667 | 23:26 |
| morgan | I still can't get this to work without killing everything :( How do I correctly do metacity --replace and then compiz --replace ? | 23:26 |
| blackshirt | 8gb for swap...that was big | 23:26 |
| usr13 | blackshirt: Yep | 23:26 |
| gurjeet | On 12.04, my DNS seems to die every now and then. | 23:26 |
| usr13 | blackshirt: Sure is. But if you got it, why not use it? | 23:26 |
| blackshirt | gurjeet, why you say that? | 23:27 |
| usr13 | blackshirt: Is he really gonna miss 4G? | 23:27 |
| jasc | L1: when i typed the /join #debian command I got connected | 23:27 |
| gurjeet | If I wget google.com, I get 'cpould not resolve' error, but if I do wget <google's IP address> I nicely get the index.html promptly. | 23:28 |
| usr13 | blackshirt: If 4G is good, 8G is better. (Especially since we have no idea what he may do with this system in the future. | 23:28 |
| L1 | jasc: That joins you to the #debian channel on this server (freenode) | 23:28 |
| blackshirt | Usr13, i think linux manage memory very eficiently, and sometimes swap was not used mostly | 23:28 |
| gurjeet | blackshirt: ^^ | 23:28 |
| jrib | jasc: you probably have a firewall issue. Check your router's settings if you have one | 23:28 |
| usr13 | blackshirt: See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq | 23:28 |
| miraj | gurjeet : are you using BIND as a caching dns? or are you an external DNS server directly? | 23:28 |
| jasc | jrib: should I open port 6667 or forward it for this to work? | 23:29 |
| usr13 | blackshirt: What about hybernation or sleep mode? | 23:29 |
| pizzadude | when i run my webcam in cheese and record a video it says "Reason: Media contains no supported video streams." in the terminal output. it used to work, now it just creates a 13kb webm file | 23:29 |
| blackshirt | usr13, yes, i see .... If the memory big enought, i think maybe better stay on ram .. | 23:29 |
| morgan | How do I correctly do metacity --replace and then compiz --replace without breaking anything, and running a game inbetween them | 23:30 |
| blackshirt | usr13, thats typically on desktop version... | 23:30 |
| miraj | pizzadude : maybe it's because microsoft doesn't want people using linux? | 23:30 |
| pizzadude | can anyone here help me with this issue? | 23:30 |
| pizzadude | miraj haha i think it's a problem with a missing package or something | 23:31 |
| pizzadude | or a conflicting one | 23:31 |
| gurjeet | miraj, blackshirt : I did not tweak anything about the network until this morning. After faceing this problem, I added'dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8' to /etc/network/interfaces. | 23:31 |
| gurjeet | and I still get occasional DNS downs. | 23:31 |
| tuxmatt | hey all :) | 23:31 |
| miraj | pizzadude : did you delete any packages in-between the times when it worked and now when it doesn't? | 23:32 |
| datiecher | hey, I'm having some problems compiling pidgin from source on ubuntu 12.04 | 23:32 |
| trism | datiecher: start with: sudo apt-get build-dep pidgin; | 23:33 |
| datiecher | it's complaining i'm missing glib but i have libglib2.0-dev installed | 23:33 |
| pizzadude | miraj: i might of, i did install mediubuntu packages though | 23:33 |
| datiecher | already dit it | 23:33 |
| datiecher | did* | 23:33 |
| blackshirt | usr13, for typical desktop usage, with ram 4gb, and swap 8gb, i think that wouldn't mostly used | 23:33 |
| trism | datiecher: pastebin the exact error | 23:33 |
| usr13 | blackshirt: It's like I told the other guy, 100M is enough for /boot/ but I recommend 200M. If you have 4G of RAM, 4G is enough for swap, 8G is more than enough. I like to make sure I'm not short-changing myself or anyone else. You never know. Half that swap may never get used, but that one time may mean the difference in not crashing during a critical task. | 23:33 |
| datiecher | trism: one sec | 23:33 |
| pizzadude | miraj but that was a while ago, it started not working but i decided to forget about it | 23:34 |
| miraj | pizzadude : you could check the dependancies for chees and see if you've got them all? | 23:34 |
| tuxmatt | i give mine 1gb for swap | 23:34 |
| AaronCampbell | I'm on Ubuntu 12.04, and recently my icons disappeared from the Desktop (the files are still in ~/Desktop), I can't launch a file browser, and running nautilus from the command line results in "Bus error (core dumped)" | 23:34 |
| datiecher | trism: http://pastebin.com/CbeMWQpS | 23:34 |
| AaronCampbell | Any idea what might cause this or where I can look for more info on what's wrong? | 23:34 |
| pizzadude | miraj : i reinstalled cheese... but i'm wondering if mediubuntu has a different version of ffmpeg that is conflicting with cheese | 23:35 |
| tuxmatt | AaronCampbell, you may want to install the os | 23:35 |
| pizzadude | miraj : doesn't sudo apt-get install cheese resolve the dependencies | 23:35 |
| miraj | pizzadude : that should be easy to check, the specified versions of ffmpeg | 23:35 |
| trism | datiecher: pastebin the config.log, that isn't really helpful since we have glib 2.32 in precise | 23:36 |
| AaronCampbell | tuxmatt: Install the OS? | 23:36 |
| blackshirt | usr13, yes,you were right, but for some critical space disk,thats maybe be bloated... | 23:36 |
| AaronCampbell | Do you mean I'm missing some kind of dependency for Nautilus? | 23:36 |
| miraj | pizzadude : have you tried a different webcam to make sure it's not hardware related? | 23:37 |
| pizzadude | miraj : where do i find cheese's dependencies including the version of ffmpeg it uses if it uses it | 23:37 |
| pizzadude | miraj : someone bought me the same webcam and i tried it and it has the same issue | 23:37 |
| datiecher | trism: here it is: http://pastebin.com/6jy2RSqD | 23:37 |
| maicod | hi I'm struggling to disable automount and autoopen on ubuntu 12.04.1 . I tried dconf-editor and unchecked the apropriate boxes under org/gnome/media handling but automount keeps working for my USB drives . what can be wrong ? | 23:37 |
| usr13 | blackshirt: Do you remember, (a few years ago), we did everything on a system with < 1M RAM? And a few years before that, someone said that he didn't see why anyone would ever need more that 512k? :):):):) | 23:37 |
| miraj | pizzadude : maybe trying a different brand of webcam could rule out microsoft-is-evil :) | 23:38 |
| usr13 | ... back to the future ..... | 23:38 |
| pizzadude | miraj : i'll wait until i get some money and try to buy a new webcam in the coming months and make sure if it doesn't work i can return it | 23:39 |
| trism | datiecher: what does: pkg-config --cflags --libs glib-2.0; return? | 23:39 |
| tuxmatt | AaronCampbell, reinstall ubuntu linux | 23:39 |
| tuxmatt | AaronCampbell, i have to reinstall debian on my usb drive | 23:39 |
| datiecher | trism: -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include -lglib-2.0 | 23:39 |
| blackshirt | usr13, yes,i know this .... But for sometimes 8 gb was not enought too :d ... Basically that was based on your need | 23:40 |
| AaronCampbell | tuxmatt: So your solution is basically start over? | 23:40 |
| trism | datiecher: that looks good, odd, what pidgin version are you compiling | 23:40 |
| AaronCampbell | Or am I missing something? | 23:40 |
| tuxmatt | AaronCampbell, yea man im srry but i dont belive you can fix missing icons on your desktop | 23:41 |
| datiecher | latest stable one 2.10.6 | 23:41 |
| tuxmatt | brb guys | 23:41 |
| tuxmatt | AaronCampbell, make sure that you have the latest kernerl | 23:41 |
| AaronCampbell | I find that hard to believe | 23:42 |
| usr13 | blackshirt: Ok, well, we could go on and on, (but in #ubuntu-offtopic) | 23:42 |
| trism | datiecher: I notice PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR is set, does ./configure work if you first, export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR= | 23:42 |
| miraj | pizzadude : all I can think of is to completely uninstall cheese and then do a fresh install of it | 23:42 |
| Frowzy | I was having a pretty sweet day up til openoffice deleted a payroll spreadsheet. | 23:43 |
| datiecher | trism: got the same error running "export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=" and then ./configure again | 23:43 |
| pizzadude | miraj : i've apt-get purged it and reinstalled it a few times | 23:43 |
| miraj | pizzadude : maybe delete cheese's config files too? | 23:43 |
| Frowzy | don't use openoffice, guys. it'll delete stuff. it's a known issue. | 23:43 |
| pizzadude | miraj : i think it's a mediubuntu problem | 23:43 |
| blackshirt | usr13, thats right..lets go in | 23:44 |
| blackshirt | usr13, thats right..lets go on | 23:44 |
| miraj | pizzadude : you could (as an experiment) delete mediubuntu and see if cheese starts working? | 23:44 |
| pizzadude | miraj : but deleting mediubuntu won't roll back the packages right | 23:44 |
| mega1 | i have a ubuntu server 10.04 i can conect to it on the network but it wont connect to the internet | 23:45 |
| pizzadude | miraj : wait i think i found a way to delete mediubuntu | 23:45 |
| pizzadude | http://askubuntu.com/questions/61974/medibuntu-repository-broke-my-system | 23:45 |
| miraj | pizzadude : does it work any better in a different usb port? | 23:46 |
| subcool_ | can win8 be installed to unetbootin for installation? i ask because i only have ubuntu on... and asking this kinda question in windows | 23:46 |
| pizzadude | miraj : nope | 23:46 |
| pizzadude | miraj : i'm removing mediubuntu, | 23:46 |
| miraj | pizzadude : if, after a reboot, cheese starts working, you'll have your answer | 23:47 |
| pizzadude | ugh apt-get update is hanging on 100% Working | 23:47 |
| pizzadude | oh wait now it's updating now | 23:48 |
| datiecher | trism: can you point me to any source code that depends on glib i could try to compile and see if its a pidgin issue or my setup? | 23:48 |
| === midia_ is now known as Barna_ | ||
| === vpnuser is now known as jiffypop45 | ||
| trism | datiecher: doesn't seem to be a pidgin issue, I just grabbed the latest upstream source and configured it | 23:49 |
| malte | Hi...Can someone tell me how the $PATH variable is set BEFORE the local .bashrc file is called? | 23:50 |
| jrib | malte: why? | 23:51 |
| datiecher | trism: i'm not familiar with building things from source (web dev here) but this is a freshly installed version of ubuntu 12.04, the only thing i did was run apt-get build-dep pidgin AFAIR | 23:51 |
| subcool_ | SOMEONE!?? | 23:51 |
| subcool_ | can win8 be installed to unetbootin for installation? i ask because i only have ubuntu on... and asking this kinda question in windows | 23:52 |
| datiecher | trism: by latest stable source you meant their hg repo or the 2.10.6 source code? | 23:52 |
| malte | jrib: because some weird paths are in there everytime a open a new shell. However, these paths do not appear in my .bashrc file, so they have to come from somewhere else. | 23:52 |
| trism | datiecher: it has got to be some sort of environment issue, since in the config.log it says it can't find the glib-2.0.pc but when you run pkg-config it prints out the correct cflags and libs | 23:52 |
| creative_x | how can i share files between 2 pcs via network? | 23:52 |
| trism | datiecher: the tarball of 2.10.6 from the pidgin download page | 23:53 |
| maicod | hi I'm struggling to disable automount and autoopen on ubuntu 12.04.1 . I tried dconf-editor and unchecked the apropriate boxes under org/gnome/media handling but automount keeps working for my USB drives . what can be wrong ? | 23:53 |
| pizzadude | miraj : how do you ppa-purge a repository like mediubuntu | 23:53 |
| miraj | creative_x : ftp is always simple and easy to config | 23:53 |
| datiecher | trism: can't I force glib's location in the makefile somehow? | 23:53 |
| trism | datiecher: did you grab yours from hg? | 23:53 |
| jrib | malte: what kind of weird paths? Check /etc/environment (I don't think this is used for path though), /etc/bash*, and /etc/profile* | 23:53 |
| David7 | malte, It get set by your .profile | 23:53 |
| creative_x | miraJ: i was thinking the option that has the sharing options... | 23:53 |
| datiecher | trism: nope, just thought you did by your message :P | 23:53 |
| David7 | malte, Or by the system profile in /etc/profile | 23:53 |
| datiecher | trism: but i tried with their 2.10.5 and got the same error as well | 23:53 |
| creative_x | miraJ: can you help me with that | 23:54 |
| miraj | pizzadude : don't know, I never bothered much with mediubuntu | 23:54 |
| miraj | creative_x : what would you like, netware or ms filesharing? | 23:55 |
| pizzadude | miraj : i'll try synaptic | 23:55 |
| creative_x | miraj: what ms means? | 23:55 |
| miraj | ms = microsoft file and printer sharing | 23:55 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | creative_x: there are many different ways to do what you are asking. Some questions for you to answer so we can help you better. What's your experience with ubuntu, networking, what version ubuntu have you and what is the other os? | 23:55 |
| miraj | creative_x : if you want to be microsoft compatible, there is samba | 23:56 |
| creative_x | i want to transfer files bettweem ubuntu 12.04 lts and linux mint 13 | 23:56 |
| jerry_l1 | google: "open office delete issue" lists alot of pages of windows could not install or window could not uninstall..... how should i word the search? | 23:56 |
| malte | Okay, I checked them all. There does not seem to be anything wrong, in fact I can not remmever to ever have changed them. The pahts that are added are OLD paths that used to be in my .bashrc file. | 23:56 |
| Jhon | Hi ALL! | 23:57 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | creative_x: wireless or wired? | 23:57 |
| creative_x | wired | 23:57 |
| jrib | malte: you should say what these "weird paths" you refer to actually are | 23:57 |
| malte | just did | 23:57 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | creative_x: gui? | 23:57 |
| MissionControl | I got a weird bug yesterday where ubuntu thought it's filesystem disk was full and now it's less than half full (like it's supposed to be) | 23:57 |
| Jhon | help please | 23:57 |
| malte | so I some of the paths are now just twice in my $PATH variable | 23:57 |
| malte | which is okay | 23:57 |
| jrib | malte: I don't see any paths in what you said | 23:57 |
| Jhon | any pro here? | 23:58 |
| Jhon | i need one qustion | 23:58 |
| jrib | !ask | Jhon | 23:58 |
| ubottu | Jhon: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 23:58 |
| malte | it seems to me like there is an old .bashrc file somewhere in my system that is loaded, too. | 23:58 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | creative_x: gui or cli? | 23:58 |
| creative_x | gui | 23:58 |
| Jhon | who can help? | 23:58 |
| malte | before the actual .bashrc | 23:58 |
| jrib | Jhon: ask your question. | 23:58 |
| Jhon | ok | 23:58 |
| jerry_l1 | !payshence? | 23:58 |
| ubottu | jerry_l1: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 23:58 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | creative_x: have you looked in networking, enabled filesharing? | 23:59 |
| Jhon | now i translate him | 23:59 |
| trism | datiecher: does it work with the system gcc instead of the emcc in your home directory? (though I'm not sure that explains the pkg-config weirdness, I'm kind of reaching at this point) | 23:59 |
| malte | and it is written in the variable BEFORE the actual .bashrc is loaded | 23:59 |
| creative_x | <gerbilcabbagehai> yes | 23:59 |
| jrib | malte: yes, we understand your problem. If you give us information we ask about, we can try to help you. | 23:59 |
| Jhon | i need program | 23:59 |
| creative_x | <gerbilcabbagehai> but its telling that its unable to mount the location | 23:59 |
| Jhon | special programm | 23:59 |
| jerry_l1 | well ubotto you are more intelligent than some people i know .. :) | 23:59 |
| jrib | Jhon: stop pressing the enter key | 23:59 |
