| HSaka | Ummm ubuntu install got stucked at starting up the partion 45%... | 00:07 |
| MissionControl | ? | 00:07 |
| creative_x | <gerbilcabbagehai> iam not sure | 00:07 |
| flan_suse | ActionParsnip: It's i386 for amd64 installs. | 00:07 |
| HSaka | why does it get stuck there? | 00:07 |
| creative_x | <gerbilcabbagehai> when i go to a folder for example i can to folder options and share it | 00:07 |

| jrib | malte: pastebin result of « ls ~/.bash* ~/.profile » | 00:08 |
| ActionParsnip | flan_suse: the 64bit OS is multi-arch | 00:08 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | creative_x: good. since before this conversation or after? | 00:08 |
| flan_suse | ActionParsnip: Right, but is the package somehow hidden unless multiarch is enabled or something? | 00:08 |
| creative_x | <gerbilcabbagehai> before | 00:08 |
| ActionParsnip | flan_suse: its used by default | 00:08 |

| ActionParsnip | mega1: do you get web access after the command is ran? | 00:08 |
| VillageIdiot | it works!!! | 00:08 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | creative_x: have you created a user or guest account for the ubuntu to log into the mint box? | 00:08 |
| flan_suse | ActionParsnip: Okay, so then I guess the package doesn't exist? | 00:08 |
| jerry_l1 | what gas lowers you voice? i am watching tv and that is what they are doing. | 00:08 |
| creative_x | <gerbilcabbagehai> no | 00:08 |
| miraj | HSaka : maybe | 00:09 |
| flan_suse | ActionParsnip: My log shows it was updated, and then later removed (after using the xorg-edgers PPA.) | 00:09 |
| VillageIdiot | thank you MissionControl | 00:09 |
| mega1 | actionParsnip no | 00:09 |
| ActionParsnip | HSaka: is that in an installed Ubuntu, or the liveCD? | 00:09 |
| HSaka | I used unetbooting with the newest netinstall | 00:09 |
| flan_suse | ActionParsnip: However, how was it "updated" when it didn't even exist? | 00:09 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | creative_x: on mint you might need to. | 00:09 |
| ActionParsnip | mega1: can you ping 8.8.8.8? | 00:09 |
| morgan | how do I get safely back to compiz after doing metacity --replace ? | 00:09 |

| mega1 | actionParsnip yes | 00:10 |
| ActionParsnip | morgan: Press ALT+F2 compiz --replace | 00:10 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | creative_x: are you on the mint box right now? | 00:10 |
| HSaka | I downloaded it directly from UNetbooting | 00:10 |
| creative_x | <gerbilcabbagehai> yes | 00:10 |
| VillageIdiot | how did you figure it out Mission? | 00:10 |
| MissionControl | it's a secret | 00:10 |
| morgan | ActionParsnip, nothing happens when I hit alt F2 do you mean ctrl+alt+ f2? | 00:11 |
| MissionControl | a deep dark hidden one | 00:11 |
| HSaka | ActionParsnip, should i download from somewhere else? | 00:11 |
| ActionParsnip | mega1: ok run: echo "namesever 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee -a /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/tail > /dev/null reboot to test | 00:11 |
| ActionParsnip | HSaka: try downloading it manually and MD5 testing it yourself, then use unetbootin on that | 00:11 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | creative_x: second, im searching | 00:11 |
| jrib | malte: pastebin the contents of your ~/.bashrc and ~/.profile | 00:11 |

| morgan | ActionParsnip, ok I did that, but I don't think it worked | 00:13 |
| DLabz | tried using autostart thingie from the settings, but it doesn't save it | 00:13 |
| jrib | malte: while you do that, when you need to add something to your PATH, what do *you* do? | 00:13 |
| Jhon | virtualbox on table? | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Jhon: could use the blkid of the system partition to ID the system, or the Ethernet address of the primary network interface | 00:13 |
| Jhon | tablet | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | pizzadude: does it show in cheese? | 00:13 |
| DLabz | also, tried making /etc/init.d script, but it doesn't start it on startup | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Jhon: doesn't matter, it still has a network device and so forth.... | 00:14 |
| Jhon | please Wine is not virtual mashine | 00:14 |
| malte | I add the following command in the .bashrc file: export PATH=$PATH:/blablabla/bin | 00:14 |
| DLabz | script in script it self works when called | 00:14 |
| miraj | pizzadude : the only thing I can think of right now is maybe your bios settings for the usb ports? | 00:14 |

| mega1 | actionParsnip tee: /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/tail: No such file or directory | 00:14 |
| jrib | miraj: yes, you have a few additions like that in your .bashrc. Which part of your PATH exactly are you not sure where it comes from? | 00:14 |
| Jhon | like wine | 00:14 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | creative_x: http://maketecheasier.com/setting-up-a-home-network-with-linux-mint/2012/06/05 | 00:14 |

| pizzadude | ActionParsnip: it works in guvcview but it's choppy | 00:15 |
| miraj | jrib, I didn't say anything on that subject | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip | pizzadude: try xvidwincap | 00:15 |
| pizzadude | it skips and stuff | 00:15 |
| pizzadude | ok | 00:15 |
| Jhon | u nit undestand my question? | 00:15 |
| jrib | malte: yes, you have a few additions like that in your .bashrc. Which part of your PATH exactly are you not sure where it comes from? | 00:15 |
| DLabz | than, tried chkconfig, complain about LSB thingie | 00:15 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | creative_x: this might partially help | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip | !info xvidwincap | 00:15 |

| Jhon | not? | 00:15 |

| ActionParsnip | pizzadude: mplayer can show webcams too | 00:16 |
| jrib | !helpme | Jhon | 00:16 |
| ubottu | Jhon: Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude | 00:16 |

| ActionParsnip | ethern0t: cool, you should be able to resize the NTFS and make free space to install to. Suprised you didn't set this up, save the resizing step | 00:24 |
| memory_process | yes i can i came for hep but yes i will | 00:24 |
| pizzadude | ActionParsnip the scripts on that thread you sent me are old and dont work | 00:24 |

| David7 | Kickball, you can connect the Ubuntu ISO to the VM as a CD-ROM. When you boot the VM, it will boot from the ISO and install Ubuntu. | 00:27 |
| nsaquatics | question: on my workstation install, I have Ubuntu it works like a charm except after upgrading to 12.04, the OS thinks my monitor is about 1/2 wider than it actually is is there a place to adjust the screen width? | 00:27 |

| Kickball | Does anyone know how to install ubuntu with virtual box? Can they help me out/guide me though it? I am using windows, but i want to run Ubuntu on a VM, I have both the Ubuntu.iso and virtual box installed on this computer installed | 00:28 |
| memory_process | create another partition | 00:28 |
| David7 | Kickball, I just told you what to do. Did you try that? | 00:28 |
| memory_process | load the kernal o the new partition drive | 00:29 |
| ethern0t | memory_process: i have win8 running and want to install it i have 500gb disk 200 ntfs win8 the rest is empty or not assigned | 00:29 |
| Kickball | Kickball, you can connect the Ubuntu ISO to the VM as a CD-ROM. When you boot the VM, it will boot from the ISO and install Ubuntu. | 00:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Kickball: download and MD5 test the Ubuntu ISO, make a new virtual system then mount it in virtualbox as the optical drive. Start the virtual system | 00:29 |
| David7 | Kickball, Did you try that? | 00:29 |
| memory_process | so run your distro cd | 00:29 |
| ethern0t | when installing ubuntu or any other distro the installer saya | 00:29 |
| Kickball | I have no cds atm, and also I tried that but my discs are 5gb and unbuntu is like 11gbb | 00:29 |
| memory_process | dvd | 00:29 |
| memory_process | usb | 00:29 |
| ethern0t | to me i have empty disk | 00:30 |
| bazhang | memory_process, stop that | 00:30 |
| David7 | Kickball, Is the Ubuntu ISO on the Windows machine? | 00:30 |
| ethern0t | 500gb blank hdd | 00:30 |
| Kickball | yes | 00:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Kickball: you don't need CDs, virtualbox can handle ISO files | 00:30 |
| Kickball | but it does nothing atm, i have just downloaded it | 00:30 |
| bazhang | !who | memory_process | 00:30 |
| ubottu | memory_process: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 00:30 |
| Kickball | ok | 00:30 |
| David7 | You can connect the CD-ROM drive in the VM directly to the ISO file | 00:30 |
| Kickball | so where do i go to set it up? | 00:30 |
| memory_process | whatewver your using and instal os on yeah sorry my bad | 00:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Kickball: otherwise I would have said to burn a CD, but I didn't..... | 00:30 |
| jrib | malte: no problem. Basically, that ~/.profile gets executed one time at login, but your .bashrc gets executed at login (because .profile sources it) and also when you open a new shell | 00:31 |
| Kickball | ah ok | 00:31 |
| David7 | Kickball, Open the settings for the virtual machine | 00:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Kickball: installing virtualbox is a good first step | 00:31 |
| Kickball | I have it installed | 00:31 |
| bazhang | memory_process, use the nick of the person you are addressing | 00:31 |
| miraj | ethern0t : that sounds definitely like uefi parition table that ubuntu isn't reading | 00:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Kickball: just play with the software, its not complex at all | 00:31 |
| ethern0t | miraj: i think it is | 00:31 |
| David7 | Kickball, In the settings for the VM, select the CD-ROM drive and then browse to the ISO file | 00:31 |
| ethern0t | miraj: but there is not alot of info about it on web | 00:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Kickball: there is a settings section for media, just tell it to use the ISO file | 00:32 |
| Kickball | what do i with the hard drive setting? Do not add a virtual hard drive? Create a virtual hard drive now? | 00:32 |
| Kickball | ok under media, will do after i finish the rest | 00:32 |
| miraj | ethern0t : when you installed Win 8, did it give you any partition-creating options to choose from? | 00:32 |
| malte | jrib: didn't know that. Again, thanks again and good night! | 00:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Kickball: yes, or you won't have anywhere to install ubuntu to will you.. | 00:32 |
| David7 | Kickball, Did you create a virtual machine? Did you add hard drives to the virtual machine? | 00:33 |
| ethern0t | miraj: yeap | 00:33 |
| Kickball | Idk | 00:33 |
| Kickball | I am just following the setting under new | 00:33 |
| ethern0t | miraj: i ve created the partition there since it was a blank hdd | 00:33 |
| Kickball | does anyone have teamviewer | 00:33 |
| David7 | If you're going to install Ubuntu in Virtual Box, make the hard drive at least 16 GB to start with | 00:33 |
| miraj | ethern0t : you might have to reinstall Win 8 with a standard partition table | 00:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Kickball: all it takes is a bit of thinknig. Think abouot what you need to do to a physical PC and use that mentality | 00:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Kickball: its not a lot different | 00:33 |

| Froward | MACscr: sounds like you're most of the way there.. did you google it? | 00:42 |

| MACscr | Froward: im on my mac now and its the server, so yes, i can type on it. I am only testing with one client though, the ubuntu system and its not getting any responses. As i mentioned though, i think its a mac issue as on the mac during debug mode, I can see mouse actions showing on the mac synergy log, but nothing happens when i use the keyboard | 00:45 |
| Kickball | That is not what i see. I see this: http://postimage.org/image/6jdab4a1r/e32b6c67/ | 00:45 |
| MACscr | Froward: are you by chance using synergy? | 00:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Kickball: click the little CD icon on the right of the dropdown | 00:46 |
| Froward | MACscr: no, I used it last about a year ago. I mixed up the client/server terminology. I think you'd have better luck in #macOSX , those guys seem to be more powerusers. | 00:47 |

Based on what I am lookin for, does anyone have any suggestions for what I use? | 00:56 |
| ampd | Nordom: you may be able to right click, go to properties > permissions > check the mark as executable then double click it | 00:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Nordom: 'tar.gz' files can contain ANY file type be it images, source code, binaries or a mixture | 00:57 |
| ampd | brophat: it will have a different style | 00:57 |
| ampd | brophat: the code would be similar | 00:57 |
| Nordom | thank you ampd, I will try that | 00:57 |
| brophat | ok then i would get an F | 00:57 |
| ampd | Nordom: dont be afraid of the terminal, give it a try with the command | 00:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Nordom: what filename do you have? Itmay be in the repos and then you can install it the normal way | 00:57 |
| ampd | brophat: you should talk to your teacher. they don't sound like they know what they're doing | 00:58 |
| Nordom | ActionParsnip: yes I understand that, but I dl'ed a program I wished to install, and was ask for an easy way to install said tar.gz without having to use terminal, no point using a GUI if you need to use terminal just to wipe ur own butt | 00:58 |
| brophat | ampd correct they don't know what they are doing | 00:58 |
| ampd | brophat: tell them you can do the work with a similar, free rpogram | 00:58 |
| brophat | ampd they are dumb | 00:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Nordom: but what is the filename? | 00:58 |
| xangua | Nordom: you can also use the terminal to install programs from the repositorie ;) | 00:59 |
| Nordom | ampd: I am not afraid, just don't think it should be more work to install some archive then one or two clicks when you downloaded an archive with the express perpose of installing said software ;) | 00:59 |

| ActionParsnip | Nordom: instead of heading to websites and downloading archives, search the PPAs first, makes life easy | 01:08 |
| ampd | brophat: pkill it again, sudo apt-get purge matlab again, then sudo apt-get install matlab | 01:08 |
| ampd | brophat: then you should be able to see where it's hanging | 01:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Nordom: did the PPA get added (did you press ENTER after the PPA textappeared when you ran the command) | 01:09 |
| Nordom | ActionParsnip: it is very strange to me to install programs in such a way | 01:09 |
| brophat | ampd i don't want to install. it does not install matlab it only installs an interface that makes matlab pretty | 01:09 |

| f00dMonsta | to be honest, I like Ubuntu, but to get everything working 100% takes way too much effort and i dun have the time | 01:52 |

| Nordom | ActionParsnip: How do I delete the deb? | 01:53 |
| tomreyn | f00dMonsta: have you ever measured the time it took to get from scratch to a windows system (incl. applications) which "works 100%"? | 01:53 |
| ActionParsnip | f00dMonsta: you just need to run the learning curve. Its just different | 01:53 |
| f00dMonsta | I know | 01:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Nordom: use nautilus | 01:53 |
| f00dMonsta | that's why I even tried Ubuntu in the first place | 01:53 |
| Nordom | nautilus? | 01:53 |
| Maksim | Can anyone help me with this java issue? | 01:53 |
| f00dMonsta | but neither can satisfy me 100%, so I'm gonna use both | 01:53 |

| ^fyp^ | i can only find one for 32 bit linux | 02:10 |
| ^fyp^ | even with my 32 bit libraries installed | 02:10 |
| ^fyp^ | wont work | 02:10 |
| sargennto | tomreyn, that seemd to have fixed it. thank you very much | 02:10 |
| ^fyp^ | says i need python:i386, can't install it since its apparently conflicting with python2.7 | 02:10 |
| tomreyn | sargennto: be sure to always run "sudo apt-get update" before installing new packages | 02:11 |
| sargennto | tomreyn, will do tyvm. brb rebooting | 02:11 |
| ^fyp^ | its sad i need to use CrossOver to use cuteftp because no other linux ftp app will do segmented downloading | 02:11 |
| ^fyp^ | other than lftp that is | 02:11 |
| MonkeyDust | !brainstorm| ^fyp^ | 02:11 |
| ubottu | ^fyp^: Post your ideas for Ubuntu at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com and vote for the ones you like! | 02:11 |

| MonkeyDust | ^fyp^ maybe someone likes the idea and picks it up | 02:13 |
| WeThePeople | hi is their a ffmpeg support channel? | 02:13 |
| ^fyp^ | oh right | 02:13 |
| ActionParsnip | ^fyp^: nautilus can connect to FTP | 02:13 |
| ^fyp^ | it doesn't do segmented downloading | 02:13 |
| ^fyp^ | that's the main reason i want a lftp gui | 02:13 |
| ActionParsnip | ^fyp^: gftp? filezilla/ | 02:13 |
| ^fyp^ | nope | 02:13 |
| ^fyp^ | they dont do that | 02:13 |
| ^fyp^ | only lftp does | 02:14 |
| ^fyp^ | so i use CrossOver for cuteftp | 02:14 |
| ^fyp^ | it actually works well | 02:14 |
| FloodBot1 | ^fyp^: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 02:14 |
| ^fyp^ | but i'd rather have a gui for lftp | 02:14 |
| ActionParsnip | ^fyp^: seems a bit OTT for an FTP client | 02:14 |
| ^fyp^ | ok, fine | 02:14 |
| ^fyp^ | OTT ? | 02:14 |
| ActionParsnip | ^fyp^: what does segmented downloading do? | 02:14 |
| ActionParsnip | ^fyp^: ott = over the top | 02:14 |
| ^fyp^ | uhm no | 02:15 |
| ^fyp^ | it's quite common | 02:15 |
| ^fyp^ | cuteftp does segmented downloading/uploading since a decade | 02:15 |
| ActionParsnip | ^fyp^: but how is it different to normal FTP downloading do? | 02:15 |
| ^fyp^ | and the difference is dramatic | 02:15 |
| ^fyp^ | it increases speed a lot | 02:15 |
| ActionParsnip | ^fyp^: how big are the files you are actually downloading? | 02:15 |
| ^fyp^ | https://whatbox.ca/wiki/Multi-threaded_and_Segmented_FTP | 02:16 |
| ^fyp^ | see my seedbox provider's explanation | 02:16 |
| tomreyn | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmented_downloading | 02:16 |
| ActionParsnip | ^fyp^: so it saves what? 20 seconds? | 02:16 |
| ^fyp^ | no | 02:16 |
| ^fyp^ | i go from 5mbps to 18mbps using segmentation | 02:16 |
| WeThePeople | is there a program to convert webm to avi of flv | 02:16 |
| ActionParsnip | ^fyp^: but how big are the files? | 02:16 |
| WeThePeople | or | 02:16 |
| ^fyp^ | they can vary | 02:17 |
| MonkeyDust | WeThePeople try avconv, but it cause loss of quality | 02:17 |
| ^fyp^ | see my seedbox provider's explanation, as i'm apparently flooding, lol, your bots are more sensitive than my znc's own really sensitive flood detection | 02:17 |
| ActionParsnip | ^fyp^: surprised people stll use ftp, its so inefficient | 02:17 |
| ^fyp^ | uh.. | 02:17 |
| ^fyp^ | lol | 02:18 |
| WeThePeople | sftp? | 02:18 |
| MonkeyDust | WeThePeople it's avconv -i ladygaga.avi ladygaga.flv | 02:18 |
| ^fyp^ | if you want to bring home what you used on your seedbox | 02:18 |
| ^fyp^ | it's ftp | 02:18 |
| ^fyp^ | sftp results in slower speeds | 02:18 |
| ^fyp^ | i use ftps | 02:18 |
| WeThePeople | monkeydust, thanks | 02:18 |
| ^fyp^ | ftp with TLS/SSL | 02:18 |
| ActionParsnip | ^fyp^: yeah, unencrypted transmission. Using 2 ports for the transfer. | 02:18 |
| ActionParsnip | ^fyp^: let it die dude | 02:18 |
| ^fyp^ | actually i just said i'm using encrypted ftp here | 02:19 |
| WeThePeople | monkeydust, does it work with webm to avi? | 02:19 |
| ActionParsnip | ^fyp^: still uses 2 port | 02:19 |
| wildman330 | Can anyone tell me what is the latest IcedTea plugin in the official repos? | 02:19 |
| ^fyp^ | no, you're a fucking retard is all, trying to derail my goddamn question into your idea that ftp is useless | 02:19 |
| MonkeyDust | WeThePeople yeah, guess so | 02:19 |
| ^fyp^ | do you know what's a seedbox ? | 02:19 |
| ^fyp^ | bringing your stuff home requires ftp of some sort | 02:20 |
| ActionParsnip | ^fyp^: look at TCP port 22 and what its used for, then look at TCP port 21 | 02:20 |
| tomreyn | :) | 02:20 |
| ^fyp^ | the only other options is http, which is even more horrible | 02:20 |
| ^fyp^ | so don't talk about things you dont know about bud | 02:21 |

| ActionParsnip | ^fyp^: im just saying ftp uses 2 ports to do what it needs, so is wasteful | 02:21 |
| ^fyp^ | yeah, sure, but i call on subtle trolling when I see it bazhang | 02:21 |

| ^fyp^ | yes, i will have a seedbox and never bring home what i torrent | 02:22 |
| ActionParsnip | ^fyp^: its not an opinion, its fact. Its not suitable, its like using telnet over the web | 02:22 |

| Vivekananda | MonkeyDust, These sources you gave me, sorry to ask, but are these really good or are these the first ones that would turn up for me in a google search too? | 02:26 |
| tomreyn | Nordom: you successfully added this PPA to your APT sources | 02:26 |

| morgan_ | How do I remove the blue tent from flash videos with Chromium 20 / Flash 11.2 | 02:28 |
| Vivekananda | MonkeyDust , used the wrong word, :) , I meant authentic. bazhang and ubottu , thanks and I am on it | 02:28 |
| tomreyn | !apt | Nordom | 02:28 |
| ubottu | Nordom: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) | 02:28 |
| bazhang | morgan_, fullscreen flash, then disable hw acceleration | 02:28 |
| tomreyn | Nordom: apt sources are where software you install with these tools comes from. they define which software is available using these utilities. | 02:29 |
| ActionParsnip | morgan_: run: gedit ~/.bashrc and add: export VDPAU_NVIDIA_NO_OVERLAY=1 save the new file and run: source ~/.bashrc | 02:29 |
| tomreyn | Nordom: why did you add this PPA in the first place? usually people do this when they want to install some software which is not already available in ubuntu | 02:30 |
| ActionParsnip | morgan_: also run: mkdir /etc/adobe; echo "EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1" | sudo tee /etc/adobe/mms.cfg > /dev/null | 02:30 |
| Nordom | tomreyn: its allready available? | 02:30 |
| morgan_ | ActionParsnip, do that with what bazhang said? or just do what you say | 02:31 |
| Nordom | I am trying to install JDK + android SDK, no clue on either, just learned about using PPA for getting things | 02:31 |
| ActionParsnip | morgan_: i'd try the commands I gave. Source; http://askubuntu.com/questions/117127/flash-video-appears-blue | 02:31 |
| tomreyn | Nordom: so by adding a PPA, you increase the sources from which software is pulled in to your system. by adding this PPA, you are now able to install the "android-sdk" package, which i think is what you are trying to do. | 02:32 |
| Nordom | tomreyn: now that I pulled it, how to I install it? | 02:33 |
| tomreyn | Nordom: to install this package, you now want to use !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) or just the shell by typing: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install android-sdk | 02:34 |
| Nordom | thank you I am installing it now =) | 02:35 |

| |Anthony| | lol tomreyn | 02:56 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | but...why blackshirt? | 02:56 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | it's all secured, all I need to do is enable change permissions only for me. | 02:56 |
| tomreyn | gerbilcabbagehai: is your web server on a server you fully control, or is this a shared host, where several people host their websites on? | 02:57 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | tomreyn: my own. on a box behind my router/firewall | 02:57 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | tomreyn: im setting up a home server to serve media. i want to be able to upload to my server, without worrying about what others can modify, while still allowing them access to the files via http | 02:58 |
| iFlip | Is there a way to make an Apache WebDAV access drives on another computer on the same LAN | 02:59 |
| tomreyn | gerbilcabbagehai: you should set up a restricted user (i.e. non-root user, like "gerbilcabbagehai") on your web server. then configure your web server to load the files from your home directory. | 02:59 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | tomreyn: I have the first, how do i do the second? | 03:00 |
| jetsaredim | is there a way to clone my install onto a new hard drive? | 03:01 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | tomreyn: the only reason i was in root before was to repair the permission mistake i did before | 03:01 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | tomreyn: everything else is done under my username on the server | 03:01 |
| cliff_roberts | gerbilcabbagehai: if you are using sftpd as your ftp server, you can allow anonymous access with read only permissions | 03:01 |
| tomreyn | gerbilcabbagehai: place the files in e.g. /home/gerbilcabbagehai/htdocs and instruct your webserver to read them from there. how to do that exactly depends on the webserver you're using. | 03:02 |
| blackshirt | gerbilcabbagehai: that very basic mechanism, I think above security measure would rely on dac ... | 03:02 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | blackshirt: what would i look up? ubuntu dac gives me digital audio converters and not the security you are talking about | 03:03 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | !dac | 03:03 |
| tomreyn | gerbilcabbagehai: if you are using apache httpd as a web server then the easiest thing you can do is this: sudo a2enmod userdir | 03:04 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | tomreyn: what does that do? | 03:04 |
| tomreyn | gerbilcabbagehai: then create a directory below your home directory which is called public_html | 03:04 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | !a2enmod | gerbilcabbagehai | 03:04 |
| tomreyn | gerbilcabbagehai: then place any files you want to make accessible for download in this directory | 03:05 |
| blackshirt | gerbilcabbagehai: dac = discreatory access control | 03:05 |
| Braber01 | Question, will sudo apt-get install girlfiend, work on my machine? | 03:05 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | Braber01: not unless you uninstall any previous versions | 03:06 |
| iFlip | Braber01 you gotta run dpkg first | 03:06 |
| Braber01 | and could somebody write a man page for "punk rock woman"? | 03:07 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | Braber01: are you wanting to man up on women? | 03:08 |
| Braber01 | yes, I think we all need a man page on women | 03:08 |
| Braber01 | heck I need a manpage for myself | 03:08 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | Braber01: avoid any script containing kill bill | 03:08 |
| tomreyn | gerbilcabbagehai: put (very) simply, permissions set on these files do not really matter for users accessing your web server unless you have configured your webserver to run additional commands (through CGI or by means of scripting langauges or SSI) on your computer. | 03:08 |
| iFlip | Anyone know about Apache WebDAV accessing network drives on other machines | 03:09 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | tomreyn: my later plans include allowing people to upload, but not change or modify any existing file | 03:09 |
| * Braber01 questions why the linux mint help channel doens't have a ubuttu clone. | 03:09 | |
| Braber01 | on spotchat. | 03:10 |
| tomreyn | gerbilcabbagehai: i.e. as long as remote users have no way to run commands on your computer by accessing the webserver (and by default they cannot) then you don't really have to care about the file system permissions there. | 03:10 |
| tomreyn | gerbilcabbagehai: okay, uploading is a different matter, you'll need to be more careful there, but that's really too much to discuss here. | 03:10 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | tomreyn: fillazilla cannot do sudo, so I want to make those directorys to allow me access when I login via filezilla | 03:11 |
| tomreyn | gerbilcabbagehai: you should consult the manuals of whatever you'll use to provide the upload functionality, and take a close look on any security hints there | 03:11 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | I know how to upload, I just dont know what permissions I should set the directories and files of /var/www to | 03:12 |
| === scottas is now known as zz_scottas | ||
| gerbilcabbagehai | I tried to do that before and nobody could access the /www file anymore | 03:12 |
| tomreyn | gerbilcabbagehai: if you use filezilla using the sftp protocol and authenticate as a restricted user then you will have access to your home directory already, and can place file there. | 03:12 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | tomreyn: so im over thinking the issue? | 03:13 |
| tomreyn | gerbilcabbagehai: if you additionaly configure mod_userdir then files you place in the public_html subdirectory of your home directory will become available via the webserver | 03:13 |
| tomreyn | gerbilcabbagehai: then there's no need to make any changes to permissions | 03:13 |
| tomreyn | gerbilcabbagehai: files would just need to be readable and directories both readable and executable by you | 03:14 |
| tomreyn | gerbilcabbagehai: if you use mod_userdir then you don't need to fiddl ewith /var/www at all | 03:15 |
| gerbilcabbagehai | tomreyn: which they are (writeable by me) in the home directory...i see. i think | 03:15 |

| sargennto | Hello. Fresh 12.04 install here. Have had some problems I never had before. Cannot get my sound working.. Not getting any errors. Checked alsamixer, nothing is muted. Not sure how to fix this. Any ideas? | 03:16 |
| dewnix | sargennto: it wouldn't happen to be a toshiba laptop, would it? | 03:17 |
| sargennto | dewnix, nope. dell desktop | 03:17 |
| tomreyn | gerbilcabbagehai: so if your username onthe server is "gerbilcabbagehai" then you would login as this user and do this: sudo a2enmod userdir && mkdir ~/public_html && echo 'I place my files here to make them available on the web' > ~/public_html/index.html | 03:18 |

| dewnix | sargennto: well i don't use unity, gnome, or kde but in previous gnome versions i always had to pick the right output speakers | 03:19 |

| tomreyn | wildman330: the real issue with java browser plugins is that currently there is no secure version, all of them have vulnerabilities. | 03:39 |
| tomreyn | the latest one has fewer than earlier ones, though | 03:40 |
| wildman330 | tomreyn yeah I know, I was just wondering how I got both OpenJDK 6 and 7 on my system | 03:42 |
| wildman330 | tomreyn OK I just installed OpenJDK7 and Icedtea. Whenever I test it on the Java test page in Chrome, the browser gives me an error "Java is out of date, do you want to run anyway" | 03:43 |
| tomreyn | wildman330: you can have both jdk's, and both jre's, i think you can even have oth browser plgins next to each other, but your web browsers will only use one of them, and which on e that will be will usually depend on the web browser | 03:43 |
| wildman330 | tomreyn so is the repository java out of date or what? | 03:43 |
| Tohuw | I am trapped in an X session with no ability to send keyboard input. I do not wish to abort the session. I can input via mouse. What could I click to open via nautilus to perhaps regain keyboard input, or at least click to send keypresses (such as an onscreen keyboard?) | 03:45 |
| tomreyn | wildman330: chromium can only test the upstream version of your plugin, it cannot interpret which (security) patches may have been applied to it. | 03:45 |
| tomreyn | wildman330: so your java plugin could be safely patched thanks to the debian and ubuntu security teams, and chromium would still report its unsafe. | 03:46 |
| tomreyn | wildman330: same for firefox. in this very case, though, there is no safe version. | 03:46 |
| wildman330 | tomreyn ok. Well it says I have 1.7.0_07, which should be the latest version. I dont know why Chrome disagrees | 03:47 |
| tomreyn | wildman330: maybe it just falsely assumes that because the installed version is vulnerable there must be a newer one which isn't | 03:49 |
| wildman330 | tomreyn, in any case I am not worried, I use Chrome with 3 sandboxes. I have IcedTea sandboxed with AA as well | 03:49 |

| simplew | ubuntu alternative cd already provides AES XTS encryption? | 04:53 |
| BlackDalek | Hi.. does anyone here know anything about using Libre Office Base? The #libreoffice channel is alseep so cannot get any help in that channel. | 04:54 |
| unless | tomreyn, thank you man! | 04:55 |
| tomreyn | Vivekananda. unless: You're both welcome. ;-) | 04:56 |
| tomreyn | simplew: for dm-crypt / LUKS, you mean? i think it should, but don't quote me on that. | 04:58 |
| tomreyn | simplew: try running it in a virtualbox VM to find out | 04:58 |
| simplew | tomreyn: in 12.01 there was not XTS | 04:58 |
| tomreyn | simplew: you mean in january 2012? | 04:59 |
| simplew | the one before 12.04 | 04:59 |
| tomreyn | simplew: ubuntu 11.10 then, yes i think so, too. | 05:00 |
| simplew | tomreyn: sorry but that is not true | 05:00 |
| simplew | i see there only AES CBC encryption | 05:01 |
| simplew | theres no AES XTS, and AES CBS has severall holes | 05:01 |
| tomreyn | simplew: hmm, that's sad. | 05:01 |
| simplew | mean CBC | 05:01 |
| tomreyn | simplew: i wouldn't call those "holes" | 05:02 |
| somsip | Could some who runs LAMP do a ls -ltr /var/log and paste it so I can reset permissions on some dirs I deleted. Thanks | 05:02 |
| simplew | whatever you wana call it | 05:02 |
| tomreyn | XTS has its weak spots, too | 05:02 |
| simplew | tomreyn: im sorry?!?, point them | 05:03 |
| simplew | im not even going to discuss that | 05:04 |
| tomreyn | simplew: well then i guess i don't need to do so either | 05:05 |
| tomreyn | should you change your mind, visit wikipedia | 05:05 |
| tomreyn | it's not always a good resource, but its good enough in this case. | 05:06 |
| eukreign | i'm trying to understand how drupal7 that comes from the official repository is setup and how to use it, i want to configure it with nginx instead of apache. the default configuration is for apache. | 05:06 |
| eukreign | drupal also gets installed into /usr/share/ | 05:07 |
| eukreign | rather, /var/www is empty | 05:07 |
| eukreign | what is the process of setting up a new site? | 05:07 |
| eukreign | a www.foobar.com that would run on drupal | 05:08 |
| somsip | eukreign: much better to ask in a #drupal channel. | 05:08 |
| eukreign | i did, they weren't even aware that there was an official drupal package for Ubuntu | 05:08 |
| eukreign | and most of the guides i'm finding for drupal on ubuntu assume installing from source and directly into /var/www | 05:09 |
| simplew | tomreyn: you really should read this http://clemens.endorphin.org/nmihde/nmihde-A4-os.pdf | 05:09 |
| somsip | eukreign: you want to set up and use drupal? that seems to be the issue, rather than whether it was sourced from a ubuntu repo or not? | 05:09 |
| tuxmatt | hey all | 05:10 |
| eukreign | yes, i want to use drupal that came from official repo | 05:10 |
| eukreign | but with nginx and not apache | 05:10 |
| eukreign | and i don't understand the organization/structure of the official drupal Ubuntu package | 05:11 |
| eukreign | it's very different from what you get when you install from source | 05:11 |
| tuxmatt | what you need help with man | 05:11 |
| tomreyn | eukreign: it's rather common for web applications packaged for debian / ubuntu to be installed below /usr/share. it's usually discussed in the accompanying documentation (/usr/share/doc/packagename/) how this web application need to be used with various web servers. in most cases apache is assumed, but configuration for other web servers is often similar. | 05:12 |
| eukreign | tomreyn, thanks for that tip | 05:13 |
| eukreign | tomreyn, there aren't really any docs in there | 05:14 |
| eukreign | just something about how to build the database and that's about it | 05:15 |
| eukreign | and then a generic drupal readme | 05:15 |
| tomreyn_ | simplew: so, to clarify, you read and understood this paper, right? | 05:15 |
| === tomreyn_ is now known as tomreyn | ||
| simplew | its quite clear about the CBC issues | 05:15 |
| === troy_ is now known as Troy^ | ||
| tomreyn | simplew: i was thinking your plan was to point out that XTS had none | 05:16 |
| simplew | tomreyn: the question i psoted was about if the alternative CD was still using the old AES CBC of if had already moved or at least allow XTS usage | 05:18 |
| === |_ocke2 is now known as |_ocke | ||
| eukreign | tomreyn, everything i'm finding on installing/using Drupal basically says to extract the source tarball into /var/www/somesite.com and then setup the webserver to point there | 05:18 |
| eukreign | so the part i'm unclear about is how can i use the default ubuntu/debian installation structure | 05:19 |
| tomreyn | eukreign: then i'm afraid you will need to write the nginx configuration snippet based on the one provided for apache on your own, or search the web for how others did it. | 05:19 |
| Vivekananda | tomreyn so after I finish learning shell script and cron jobs I am still not sure if I will be able to set up a backup rsync system where if it does not run at a specific time it pops up an error whenever I next switch on the system or sth | 05:19 |

| CellTech | Do linux have a speech to text program? | 05:21 |
| tuxmatt | CellTech, if they do i never heard of it | 05:21 |
| tuxmatt | CellTech, try to google it and see what comes up | 05:22 |
| CellTech | tuxmatt Yeah I was just gonna say. I'll keep searching, and if I find one. I'll come back and tell you all about it.. Thanks | 05:22 |
| somsip | CellTech: there are some but they tend to need piecing together from a few sources. Last time I looked anyway. DragonNS can work in wine (some versions) | 05:23 |
| tomreyn | Vivekananda: you will also need to read the rsync man page, and possibly something on how you make such messages pop up. but besides that, you may well be able to do so by then. | 05:23 |
| Vivekananda | kk thanks | 05:23 |

| kaio | ubuntu latest | 05:30 |
| tuxmatt | you trying to make a share network | 05:31 |
| Insomniac11 | Whats the difference between "Ubuntu 12.04-LTS x64" and "ubuntu-12.04-server-amd64"? | 05:31 |
| kaio | mythtv is on ubuntu linux , files are in ubuntu and mac and applettv will try to access them | 05:31 |
| tuxmatt | Insomniac11, a server os is def from a desktop os | 05:31 |
| tomreyn | Insomniac11: the first one is probably the desktop variant | 05:32 |
| Insomniac11 | tomreyn: Should I worry about picking one over the other for running in a VDS environment and Valve Source Game servers? | 05:32 |
| tuxmatt | servers do not have gui preinstalled on it so you have to download it | 05:32 |
| skraito | whats | 05:33 |

| kaio | any help ? | 05:38 |
| tomreyn | Insomniac11: for game servers, you probably don't want a graphical interface, it's a good idea to start with ubuntu server then. | 05:38 |
| tuxmatt | Insomniac11, ooo | 05:38 |
| Insomniac11 | sorry idk why I replied to tuxmatt lol I meant tomreyn :D | 05:38 |

| tuxmatt | tomreyn, thats what i told him dont need to get gui server just a nice clean konsole one and a good one is ubuntu server edtion | 05:39 |
| tomreyn | Insomniac11: good luck. conult the games' documentation on how to set it up. | 05:39 |
| Insomniac11 | tomreyn: I had a setup b4. Just jacked it up, so I'm starting over. Host offers server and LTS wasn't sure of the differences. But now I know :) | 05:40 |
| tomreyn | tuxmatt: cool, must have missed that | 05:40 |
| tomreyn | !LTS | Insomniac11 | 05:40 |
| ubottu | Insomniac11: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) | 05:40 |

| lng | Hi! I run into this situation for few times before and I don't really know why it's happening... Say you have MySQL installed via apt, then you decided to purge it. After that you see /etc/init.d/mysql is still there and you delete it. Finally, if you install it back /etc/init.d/mysql is not created. Why? | 05:41 |
| tomreyn | tuxmatt: thanks, i'm not currently interested in other chat, though. hope you don't mind. | 05:42 |
| tuxmatt | tomreyn, just being friendly | 05:43 |
| tomreyn | tuxmatt: that's appreciated. :) | 05:43 |
| dextershiz | lng: it will be by the packages | 05:43 |
| lng | dextershiz: no, it will never be put back | 05:44 |
| dextershiz | pretty sure that is created by the package | 05:44 |
| lng | dextershiz: I has the same issue with apache and now with nginx | 05:44 |
| lng | that's weird | 05:44 |
| tomreyn | Insomniac11: i'm not sure s/he'll like that | 05:44 |
| tomreyn | Insomniac11: but its sure worth a try | 05:45 |
| tuxmatt | any one esle needs help | 05:45 |
| tuxmatt | else | 05:45 |
| tomreyn | lng: there are probably multiple packages you need to consider | 05:45 |
| tomreyn | lng: /etc/init.d/mysql is part of the mysql-server-5.5 package | 05:46 |
| lotuspsychje | howto add das home to docky? | 05:47 |
| lng | tomreyn: how about nginx? | 05:47 |
| lotuspsychje | dash home | 05:47 |
| tomreyn | lng: if the package you purged was a different one, say, mysql-server, then this would not affect this file. | 05:47 |
| lng | same version | 05:47 |
| lng | tomreyn: try it | 05:48 |
| Nordom | anyone use Mono-devel? | 05:48 |
| tomreyn | lng: i'm having trouble to understand what you'Re saying, can you try to speak in complete sentences, please? | 05:48 |
| tuxmatt | Nordom, i run debian mint and pear linux | 05:49 |
| lng | tomreyn: apt-get -y install nginx && apt-get -y purge nginx && rm -l /etc/init.d/nginx && apt-get -y install nginx && ls -l /etc/init.d/nginx | 05:50 |
| tomreyn | !poll | Nordom | 05:50 |
| ubottu | Nordom: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 05:50 |
| lng | tomreyn: /etc/init.d/nginx will be missing | 05:50 |
| Nordom | tuxmatt: I am unsure what that means, because my next question is what is Mono, I am required to use it for a guide I am using, and didn't have on on my system and had to find it, now that I got it, what is it? | 05:51 |
| Insomniac11 | Busy /away | 05:52 |
| tomreyn | lng: do you mean "rm -f /etc/init.d/nginx" in the third queued command? | 05:52 |
| tuxmatt | Nordom, i run linux mint and debian and pear linux no i never heard of the distro mono | 05:53 |
| RyanP | lng: /etc/init.d/nginx is part of nginx-common. Installing the nginx package won't install it. | 05:53 |
| blazemore | Just installed the new daily build and I'm liking it | 05:54 |
| blazemore | But I have two questions. 1) How do I configure font smoothing? | 05:54 |
| blazemore | 2) How do I set a different wallpaper on each monitor? | 05:54 |
| Nordom | no idea what is either tuxmatt, In this guide http://ubuntu-answers.blogspot.jp/2011/11/rootunroot-android-under-ubuntu-with.html <--- they call "mono SuperOneClick.exe" to run the windows app as last command | 05:54 |
| tomreyn | !info mono | Nordom | 05:55 |
| ubottu | Nordom: Package mono does not exist in precise | 05:55 |
| lng | RyanP: I see! | 05:55 |
| jaak_ | nice | 05:55 |
| jaak_ | got in | 05:55 |
| Nordom | tomreyn: then what should I do in order to execute that .exe? | 05:56 |
| tomreyn | Nordom: sorry that wasn't too helpful ;-) | 05:56 |
| lng | RyanP: then how to remove package along with its dependencies? | 05:56 |
| lng | RyanP: I thought purge should do that | 05:56 |
| morteza | hi | 05:59 |
| RyanP | lng: Purge just removes the configuration files of that package. I think that something like; apt-get purge nginx; apt-get autoremove --purge; will do about what you want | 05:59 |
| morteza | when I want to login to my account , I'll logout automaticaly | 05:59 |
| morteza | how to slove it? | 05:59 |
| lng | RyanP: `apt-get purge nginx` have not removed /etc/nginx/nginx.conf | 05:59 |
| tuxmatt | Nordom, you run with it in wine and make sure that it is allowed to execute | 06:00 |
| morteza | I can't login in my account via gnome! why? | 06:00 |
| RyanP | lng: /etc/nginx/nginx.conf is part of nginx-common | 06:01 |
| lng | RyanP: ah, once again | 06:01 |
| tomreyn | Nordom: mono-runtime is the package you want, i think. mono is an attempt to port the windows .NET framework / runtime /development environment to POSIX systems | 06:01 |
| lng | RyanP: ok. thanks | 06:01 |
| lng | RyanP: how do you know? | 06:01 |
| lng | RyanP: how to quicly what is part of package? | 06:02 |
| RyanP | lng: I'm sure there's a different way of doing this, but I looked it up on packages.ubuntu.com. http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=nginx.conf&mode=exactfilename&suite=precise&arch=any | 06:02 |
| lng | RyanP: that's why I love Gentoo ;-) | 06:02 |
| edlang | long shot, anyone remember the propaganda wallpapers from the early 200s? | 06:02 |
| edlang | 2000s, even | 06:02 |
| RyanP | lng: Not a distro I've used. | 06:03 |
| lng | RyanP: heh! | 06:03 |
| lng | RyanP: I still have no /etc/init.d/nginx | 06:03 |
| lng | that's totally odd | 06:04 |
| bizhanMona | HI I have installed some packages on my Ubuntu/Precise 12.04. I have forgot the list of the packages that I have installed, is there any command could provide me the history of the packages installed? Tx | 06:04 |
| RyanP | lng: apt-get install --reinstall nginx-common | 06:04 |
| lng | bash: /etc/init.d/nginx: No such file or directory | 06:04 |
| lng | RyanP: same | 06:04 |
| lng | omg | 06:04 |
| tomreyn | RyanP: once you have it installed, you could use dpkg -S /path/to/filename | 06:04 |
| tomreyn | RyanP: and then there is apt-file | 06:05 |
| lng | RyanP: I don't want to copy it from another server | 06:05 |

| buglyjoe | morteza : I use awesome too. Could you login using another window manager and type awesome -k in a terminal | 06:15 |
| tuxmatt | morteza, see the problem lays with in the window manager and you well have to log in terminal and apt-get uninstall windowmanager and apt-get install windowmanager i hope it fixes it for you if it dont you may not beable to log in again after that | 06:15 |
| tomreyn | morteza: i think buglyjoe can help you | 06:16 |
| buglyjoe | not sure yet, but I'll try | 06:16 |

| tomreyn | oh, i'm late | 06:35 |
| bizhanMona | the errors :http://paste.ubuntu.com/1218138/ | 06:37 |
| bizhanMona | it seems the packages are not removed completely? | 06:37 |
| tomreyn | bizhanMona: dpkg doesn't resolve package dependencies for you, that's why you should use rather use apt-get in most cases. | 06:37 |
| bizhanMona | tomreyn: I have downloaded the packages to my local directory: when I ran this command: apt-get install fglrx-dev_8.850-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb | 06:39 |
| bizhanMona | I get the error that it can not locate the package. | 06:39 |
| Enrique | hio | 06:40 |
| bizhanMona | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1218144/ | 06:41 |
| tomreyn | bizhanMona: apt-get installs packages from package repositories, and download them from there. dpkg installs packages which are at a given location on your file system. to install the fglrx-dev package (if it exists in ubuntu, i have not checked) you would run "sudo apt-get install fglrx-dev" | 06:41 |
| bizhanMona | tomreyn: the fglrx packages are old on repository that is why I have downloaded and used dpkg -i to install, but then I get error as I mentioned before. | 06:43 |
| tomreyn | bizhanMona: my impression is that you're in the process of breaking your package system because you're following a how.to which instructs you to carry out actions which are unsupported. | 06:43 |
| tomreyn | so my impression was right. | 06:44 |
| morteza | buglyjoe: sorry , i was disconnected | 06:44 |
| morteza | buglyjoe: so what should I do now? | 06:45 |
| bizhanMona | tomrey; I have installed those packages using dpkg -i but then I though I removed me using aptitude. The issue is those packages have not removed cleanly and I can not re-install them? | 06:46 |
| morteza | buglyjoe: I tested with other user on awesome desktop , that's ok | 06:46 |

| tomreyn | bizhanMona: you should not have installed those packages in the first place, this is not supported. use jockey-gtk ("restricted drivers") to install proprietary graphics drivers if you think you want to do this. | 06:50 |
| bizhanMona | tomreyn: thanks will do that, I am not familiar with jockey-gtk but will google it. thx | 06:51 |
| tomreyn | bizhanMona: but for now, you'll need to try to recover the mess you just got yourself into. | 06:51 |
| bizhanMona | tomreyn: I did dpkg -r <package name> and it seems that did it... | 06:51 |

| fidel | good morning. i am thinking about setting up a local apt mirror / or similar approaches - to offer updates to several 12.04 systems which dont have internet-access so far. my first test was using apt-mirror ...which worked great so far - but seems time & space consuming ...especially if you/your boxes just use a small amoiunt of packes out of the entire mirror you run. Now i am wondering if apt-cacher/apt-cacher-ng isnt the better way to go. What happens ... | 07:05 |
| fidel | ... if a linux box accesses the apt-cacher and the cacher itself has that file not available so far. will the client try to get it via its default souces then - or trigger the cacherto get it - to forwards it then to the client? | 07:05 |
| slackin | LONG LIVE WILLIAM CLINTON! | 07:07 |
| timfrost | fidel: if you have the cacher correctly configured, and the linux box configured to always fetch from the cacher, then the cacher will download the file and forward it to the client linux box. | 07:07 |
| tomreyn | fidel: the latter, if things work as planned. i've been trying several apt caches in the past and none really worked reliably for me. chances are this situation has improved by now. but you might as well consider to go with a generic proxy cache such as squid. | 07:08 |
| fidel | timfrost: ok as expected | 07:08 |
| fidel | tomreyn: so what approach are you using today? | 07:08 |
| tomreyn | fidel: nowadays i waste bandwidth | 07:11 |

| patc | Hi here! Is rebooting after updates mandatory? What happens if computer isn't rebooted after an upgrade and another upgrade requiring reboot comes and is applied? Do updates "stack up" and appy without problems? Or is this somehow causing problems? | 08:55 |
| crizis | souncom, removing/moving off ~/.gconf/apps/nautilus and ~/.gconf/apps/file-roller could help.. | 08:55 |
| huhmaster | patc, that shouldn't cause any problems | 08:56 |
| gordonjcp | patc: pretty much | 08:56 |
| sveinse | blackshirt: suck or no suck, I need to make changes to the boot splash/logging for a product of ours, so I have some plymouth questions | 08:56 |
| gordonjcp | patc: you may experience some weirdness if some libraries have been replaced | 08:56 |
| crizis | patc, won't cause any problems, but stuff like kernel upgrades won't be in effect until reboot | 08:56 |
| gordonjcp | patc: if the kernel version is *very* out of line with what's currently installed, expect general weirdness | 08:57 |
| souncom | when i clic rigth on archive i dont have extract here, and when i clic on folder i dont have compressed | 08:57 |
| gordonjcp | souncom: maybe you don't have something installed to expand that type of archive | 08:57 |
| blackshirt | sveinse, you can ask here..just ask..and i would be happy if i can help you | 08:57 |
| patc | huhmaster: gordonjcp : crizis : ok I see... thank you. Do one of you have some docum entation suggestions I can read to understand more in details how it works? | 08:58 |
| patc | documentation* | 08:58 |
| tuxmatt | im here to help to | 08:58 |
| souncom | i don't have this problem before update | 08:59 |
| vartotojas | Tuxist: hey man, anyway, i decided to delete some games.. But now i cant find the directory Oo | 08:59 |
| crizis | patc, in a nutshell it's as simple as 1) services that get upgraded do get restarted automatically 2) kernel upgrades and some shared library updates need reboot (or with latter restarting every service which uses the lib) | 08:59 |
| saber_ | mmm | 09:00 |
| sveinse | blackshirt: thanks. There is a limitation i ply which I need to overcome. ply can't show a splash on a fb and provide verbose text output on a serial console at the same time. This is something I need to fix. So it's either about modding ply, or to set ply in text mode (to seriel console) and implement my own fb splash routine. | 09:00 |
| Tuxist | vartotojas: /home/(username)/.wine/ | 09:00 |
| sveinse | blackshirt: The easiest way would be to remove ply altogether, but alas, ply is married into everying in ubuntu @boot | 09:00 |
| Fudge | sveinse you dont happen to know what resolution plymouth is using for images ? | 09:01 |
| sveinse | Fudge: Uhm. No. We're on an ARM platform with only one resolution. That is in our case setup in kernel commandline | 09:02 |
| blackshirt | sveinse, yes,plymoyth goes to deepth on ubuntu,you can't easilly remove it without breaking entire all system | 09:02 |
| patc | crizis: ok, I understand. I guess that what I don't understand is the way the updates are applied. As I understand your answer, for updates requiring reboot, the update is a totally new version of the lib that is replaced. Right? The updates don't somehow "patch" older files, so if 3 updates of the same lib are applied, the pacakge is simply replaced completely with every newer version? Correct? | 09:02 |
| Fudge | thanks sveinse | 09:03 |
| patc | crizis: so in my example, the 2 first updates just get "smashed out" by the 3rd at the reboot, yes? | 09:03 |

| kellyangels | Ok.. sorry | 09:24 |
| patc | minixvbox: yes, but in the eventuality that one or more updates are already "pending" (applied, but requiring reboot). What happens when a newer get applied, that also asks for reboot? Sorry if my question is maybe difficult to understand... | 09:25 |
| llutz_ | patc: the pending ones will be overwritten, just the latest will be applied | 09:26 |

| wishin_master | J-man: i have added b43 in the /etc/modules/ as well | 10:54 |

| buglyjoe | minixvbox : I have the default that I got with the os install | 10:56 |
| buglyjoe | minixvbox : so there is no way to get around this? | 10:57 |
| minixvbox | buglyjoe: you want ubuntu-tweak to work for something it isn't designed for? | 10:57 |
| wishin_master | J-man: once actionparsnip told me to add b43 to /etc/modules file then it started working fine but i recently formatted the sys since then i am not able to commect through wireless. | 10:58 |
| J-man | wishin_master: You can try lspci -vvv and see which driver it tries to use and blacklist that in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf | 10:58 |
| buglyjoe | minixvbox : well, it works except for the part where it is supposed to show the root login prompt. anyway, I guess I'll use Unity when I have to | 10:59 |
| J-man | wishin_master: Or revert the changes in /etc/modules and see what happens | 10:59 |
| wishin_master | J-man: when i was using 10.04 at that time i tried blacklisting the drivers. | 11:00 |

| ludwig_ | i would higly suggest using whole sentences as password... plain strings are out of date. Eg. "This is my highly secure Password, try to crack this Sucker!" easy to remember and not guessable | 12:04 |

| etfb | Some dictionary... | 12:06 |
| Calinou | people don't bruteforce anymore | 12:06 |
| Calinou | they all know people use normal words as passwords | 12:06 |
| ludwig_ | Calinou: this would only work if you have ONE WORD | 12:06 |
| Calinou | etfb: WORDS, not phrases | 12:06 |
| Calinou | today's dictionary attacks can assemble words | 12:06 |
| elaminato | bruteforce takes lots of time | 12:06 |
| ludwig_ | the whole prhase has is the password hash, how you want to brut force this?? | 12:06 |
| Calinou | not with today's GPUs | 12:06 |
| etfb | Calinou: you are embarrassing yourself. The encryption of "fred nurk" is not the same as the encryption of "fred" followed by the encryption of " nurk". | 12:06 |
| bazhang | Calinou, thats enough | 12:07 |

| alex132 | I have acer 5738g ,ubuntu 12.04 , i modified the conf to have 5.1 sound it works but my problem is that only my laptop speakers are detected as speakers in sound settings ,when I plug in my system audio jack ubuntu detects headphones and that only has 2.0 sound so how to make ubuntu detect my system jack as speakers | 12:08 |
| ludwig_ | alex132: how do you output 5.1 sound via 1 system jack? :-) | 12:09 |
| Braden` | Statistically speaking if you mix letters, numbers, and special characters and have a 28 character long password using a triple method encryption plus a good cipher e.g. SHA512, it would take between 21 and 35 years to bruteforce that password. | 12:10 |

| guest-nfBBvi | i hit my own user, and it should log in into my user yes? | 12:21 |
| krababbel | alex132: two rings would be three channels, that is usuall used on systems with only two jacks, so two jacks would have 2x3=6 channels. On Windows my audiochip has a driver which can do virtual surround over stereo output, that is not 5.1. On ubuntu what you see in pavucontrol is the physical config, and for me even in windows it is set to stereo, or headphones, and the virtual surround is a different setting.

| Nicholas24042859 | Hi is anyone available? | 14:12 |
| KyleYankan | What's the best way to found out my sound card's input device? A program is trying to access /dev/dsp, but it doesnt exist | 14:12 |
| Nicholas24042859 | i have a small question about ubuntu server as a router and vpn | 14:12 |
| CTLwm | Nicholas24042859: yes | 14:12 |
| dr_willis | KyleYankan: what program? | 14:12 |
| Nicholas24042859 | the server can access the network on the other end of the vpn | 14:12 |
| CTLwm | Nicholas24042859: you want to deploy OpenVPN or PPTP VPN? | 14:12 |
| KyleYankan | dr_willis: soundmodem | 14:12 |
| Nicholas24042859 | @CTLwm: it's pptp | 14:12 |
| Boreeas | So, to clean up the color escapes in my .bashrc, I tried to stick the actual escapes in variables and then reference them with ${COLORNAME}: http://pastebin.com/Eixu2nk5 However, the prompt looks like this instead: \[\e\[00;33m\][\[\e[01;36m\]user@host?~]→ | 14:12 |
| Boreeas | Why are the color codes not replaced? | 14:13 |

| Nicholas24042859 | @CTLwm: the connection works ok and the server can access the network on the vpn but my dhcp clients, the rest of the network connected locally to the server can't access the vpn network | 14:13 |
| theadmin | Boreeas: Why not use "tput setf" instead of that? | 14:13 |
| Boreeas | Because I didn't know that | 14:14 |
| KyleYankan | dr_willis: It listens to a radio via soundcard and interprets digital transmissions. | 14:14 |
| CTLwm | Nicholas24042859: Are you using pptpd? | 14:14 |
| dr_willis | Boreeas: to many nested quotes or not enough when exposring the variable | 14:14 |
| theadmin | Boreeas: As for the actual question, single-quoted strings aren't mutable, your PS1 is in single quotes. | 14:14 |

| Nicholas24042859 | @CTLwm: the whole connection was made through command line...it's weird because the server has access to the resources behind the vpn just fine...it's just the local machines connected to the server (from which they get ip's) can't access them | 14:16 |
| CTLwm | Nicholas24042859: are you accessing your PPTP VPN through Linux Distro? i.e. using a Linux client; like gnome-network-manager? | 14:16 |

| slackguru | Let's see, I just said I believe that something in the UBUNTU operating system, specific to UBUNTU users may be compromised using the exploitation of twitter as evidence and you tell me I'm off topic? Let's take a vote. | 15:13 |
| pront0 | k4r1m: I'd have a look at the settings then. Evolution definitely supports Exchange, it should even work with ancient versions like you're using | 15:14 |
| seumas_ | haha! | 15:14 |
| mneptok | let's not. | 15:14 |
| usr13 | slacker_1l: GIve it up dude. | 15:14 |
| k4r1m | prooz, it gives me an error "The server is running Exchange 5.5. Exchange Connector | 15:14 |

| kalakouentin | no I'll install gconf-editor now | 15:14 |

| alecb | I have a Realtek RTL8188CE wifi card and I have connectivity issues with public wifi networks (works for a few minutes, then disconnects, can't reconnect until after reboot). wat do? | 15:25 |
| mneptok | mdob: the question lacks the requisite specificity to form a meaningful answer. | 15:25 |
| bazhang | mdob, try a different DE | 15:25 |
| flan_suse | alecb: What version of Ubuntu? | 15:26 |
| bazhang | mdob such as lubuntu | 15:26 |
| mdob | ubuntu 11.04 server | 15:26 |
| mneptok | mdob: you asked about a server. install the server edition. | 15:26 |
| bazhang | !lubuntu > mdob | 15:26 |
| usr13 | mdob: What Desktop Environment are you running? | 15:26 |
| ubottu | mdob, please see my private message | 15:26 |
| alecb | flan_suse: 12.04 | 15:26 |
| usr13 | mdob: Sorry.... | 15:26 |
| mneptok | mdob: and there is no reason to be installing 11.04. | 15:26 |
| flan_suse | alecb: Issue is only with public Wifi? | 15:26 |
| bazhang | mdob, lighter than server? try the minimal and build up | 15:26 |
| minixvbox | mdob: 11.04 support runs out next month | 15:27 |
| bazhang | !minimal | mdob | 15:27 |
| ubottu | mdob: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 15:27 |
| kraetzja | I'm trying to compile something with pthreads, but gcc is complaining about all the posix thread functions not being defined | 15:27 |
| === ron2 is now known as gone | ||
| kraetzja | i have pthread.h included, libc6-dev installed | 15:27 |
| alecb | flan_suse: mostly, I have a feeling it's just that the signal is weaker than for private wifi and this causes the disconnects | 15:27 |
| kraetzja | wtf is wrong | 15:27 |
| mdob | I've just instlled the minimal and it's still over 1 GB | 15:27 |
| alecb | flan_suse: personal wifi where I'm a few feet from the router doesn't seem to be a problem | 15:27 |
| alecb | flan_suse: (ie, it's usable, at least) | 15:27 |
| flan_suse | alecu: Possible, yes. Is the system a dual-boot where you can test how well Windows works with the wireless chip? | 15:27 |

| compdoc | k4r1m, what about it? | 15:28 |
| alecb | flan_suse: yup, works fine with windows | 15:29 |
| k4r1m | mindstorm, compdoc: how do I get it working haha | 15:29 |
| mdob | I've got my application build on 11.04 and I don't want to change that for the moment. | 15:29 |
| compdoc | install Windows Server, install Exchange. Done | 15:29 |
| flan_suse | alecu: Oh. | 15:29 |
| mdob | I've found something on JeOS what do you think about it? | 15:30 |
| k4r1m | compdoc, sorry I'm asking about a client that supports exchange 2010 on ubuntu | 15:30 |
| mneptok | k4r1m: for mail and calendar both? | 15:30 |
| k4r1m | afterall this is ubuntu support not M$ support. | 15:30 |
| dr_willis | i thought jeos was dead | 15:30 |
| minixvbox | mdob: derivatives are not supported here, this is just a ubuntu support channel | 15:30 |
| compdoc | k4r1m, ahh | 15:31 |
| k4r1m | mneptok, it would make my day if I get mail working | 15:31 |
| dr_willis | jeos used to be a ubuntu minim al variant, and official | 15:31 |
| compdoc | k4r1m, it support smtp and pop3 and IMAP | 15:31 |
| mneptok | k4r1m: just use IMAP | 15:31 |
| mdob | minixvbox: do you know where I can ask about JeOS? | 15:31 |
| mneptok | k4r1m: or this - http://darkircop.org/xdata/ | 15:31 |
| k4r1m | my inbox doesn't have IMAP nor POP3 access | 15:31 |
| og01 | k4r1m: also davmail maybe? http://davmail.sourceforge.net/ | 15:31 |
| dr_willis | !jeos | 15:31 |
| ubottu | JeOS (pronounced "Juice") is Just enough Operating System. It is an efficient variant of the Ubuntu Server operating system, configured specifically for virtual appliances. See http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/jeos for more information. | 15:31 |
| minixvbox | mdob: never heard of it, try their website | 15:31 |
| nemik | hello. does anyone know how i could get X apps to load from a cgi-bin script? | 15:32 |
| usr13 | mdob: There is also dsl | 15:32 |
| dr_willis | jeos i thought is a dead prooject now | 15:32 |
| flan_suse | alecu: You can try manually compiling the latest version of the driver, but it'll have to be recompiled after each kernel update. Probablynot worth it. | 15:32 |
| mdob | usr13, I know but not sure if packages are the same as in 11.04 | 15:32 |
| flan_suse | alecb: I think the driver for rtl8188CE is in staging (rtl8192se). | 15:32 |
| og01 | nemik: If you want what i think you want - make sure the DISPLAY enviroment variable is set on the server | 15:32 |
| k4r1m | og01, tried davmail and it doesn't work either.. probably because all the ports are all blocked | 15:33 |
| usr13 | nemik: cgi-bin scripts are for a webserver. Right? | 15:33 |
| usr13 | mdob: I don't know, just FYI. | 15:33 |
| usr13 | nemik: So, are you talking about web apps? | 15:33 |
| alecb | flan_suse: I've actually already tried this, and it didn't seem to help (though I'm not 100% sure how to check if the compiled version is actually the one being used). I also tried using the Realtek driver | 15:34 |
| nemik | og01: usr13: yes it is an apache cgi-bin bash script. i put DISPLAY=:0 and it is not working | 15:34 |
| jrib | nemik: you probably need to investigate xauth and such | 15:34 |
| usr13 | nemik: export DISPLAY=:0.0 | 15:34 |
| mdob | usr13, thanks anyway. | 15:34 |
| flan_suse | alecb: Probably not as strong under Linux? | 15:35 |
| nemik | usr13: yes! thank you! i didn't put export, with that it works great. | 15:35 |
| nemik | thank you very much | 15:35 |

| alecb | flan_suse: not as strong under linux? I'm trying to use the same wifi from the same location in both windows and linux, if that's what you mean | 15:36 |
| flan_suse | alecu: The Windows driver may be superior for the same chipset. | 15:38 |
| k4r1m | anything else, anyone? | 15:38 |
| bazhang | k4r1m, for what | 15:38 |
| akupedia | no idea | 15:38 |
| flan_suse | alecu: Assuming you get weaker signals under Linux, but not Windows. | 15:38 |
| alecb | flan_suse: I think I remember seeing something that would let you use the windows driver from linux? could/should I try that? | 15:38 |

| bazhang | guest-wOaf7e, did what | 15:47 |
| tomreyn | Queops: so is the dovecot configuration file not available a /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf ? or are you unable to locate the "auth default" section in it? | 15:47 |

| compdoc | skorasaurus, many things can slow a pc, like hard drive and the amount of ram, and the speed of the cpu. But video drivers on linux are still often weak. Turn off that driver and use the default Ubuntu drivers. Thats the only driver I use on my servers. | 16:12 |

| tomreyn | Queops: i don't think it's neccessarily needed to duplicate the configuration instructions those softwares' developers provide already. but it would be good to make them well available, and to offer guides on choosing the right mail stack. | 17:15 |
| TJ- | dragonslay: echo "ibase=16; print 48B0A6D000" | bc | 17:16 |
| klpkt | genii-around: Now it says that the network is unreachable. | 17:16 |
| Queops | tomreyn: yes I agree, with maybe some notes on ubuntu specific problems | 17:16 |
| Queops | tomreyn: but I guess not duplicate would defeat the point of these guides wouldnt it | 17:17 |
| Queops | tomreyn: maybe if the guides would be more of guidelines with external resources | 17:17 |
| tomreyn | Queops: providing outdated instructions pretty much does, too ;) | 17:17 |
| tomreyn | redhat has some good server guides, i can imagine they wanted to have something along those lines with their product name on it. | 17:19 |

| Icehawk78 | I'm having an issue with compiz vastly inflating itself after I leave my computer running for a bit of time. I'm not 100% certain if it only happens when I lock my screen, but after using my computer for ~4-5 hours today on a fresh reboot, compiz is currently using 1.8 GB of ram | 17:23 |
| Queops | Woah | 17:24 |
| genii-around | klpkt: OK. So you must pay some company for internet access of some kind. They must have given you a gadget that would usually either connect to your phone line or to your television cable cord ( there are other kinds but these are the most common). Do you know what the box they gave you connects to? | 17:24 |

| bazhang | Icehawk78, sounds like a regression (bug) | 17:24 |
| Icehawk78 | I'm assuming it's either a bad plugin or something weird that I've configured, but I have no clue where to start looking for this. | 17:24 |
| CJKay | bazhang: That reply was meant for you, not klpkt. Sorry | 17:25 |
| bazhang | Icehawk78, you could test by disabling various plugins for a start | 17:25 |
| TJ- | dragonslay: no. You can't do calculations as part of the parameters to 'dd' . You have to work the values out in decimal, first, and use those directly | 17:25 |

| joancreus | what else can i do? | 17:26 |
| joancreus | thanks | 17:26 |
| TJ- | dragonslay: And remember -'skip' is the number of 512-byte sectors to miss, so make sure 'skip' is in sectors not bytes | 17:26 |
| Icehawk78 | bazhang: One slight issue with that, is that it tends to take ~half a day or so to inflate (ie if I just lock my screen and then unlock it, it doesn't inflate, and it's not bloated from an initial --replace) | 17:26 |

| klpkt | genii-around: The router page/thingie says that it's Internet>router>computer. | 17:28 |
| genii-around | klpkt: OK, so it connects to the phone line. Now, that gadget is the modem. A lot of modems also have extra plugs on them that are slightly wider than a phone jack, that is how you normally connect computers to it. | 17:28 |
| genii-around | klpkt: Does your computer have a cord currently attached which connects it to the modem/router? | 17:29 |
| klpkt | No, it's connected wirelessly. | 17:29 |

| TJ- | d-will: check your home directory for a hidden file/directory created by that app (or the bundle) where config settings are stored | 17:34 |
| klpkt | genii-around: Yes, it says IE: IEEE 802.11i/WPA2 Version 1 | 17:34 |
| bazhang | d-will, a video driver issue perhaps? | 17:34 |
| andrealto98 | ah... thank you bazhang! | 17:35 |
| d-will | bazhang... it worked until it went to the wrong resolution setting | 17:35 |
| bazhang | d-will, from which res to which res | 17:35 |
| genii-around | klpkt: OK. If you put: apt-cache policy wpasupplicant does it say that program is installed? | 17:35 |
| d-will | TJ I have checked around and didn't find anything, will check again | 17:36 |
| genii-around | Work, back in 3-5 minutes | 17:36 |
| klpkt | genii-around: Yes | 17:36 |
| TJ- | d-will: best way is to start the program under supervision of 'strace' and write a log-file of file accesses: e.g. "strace -o myprog.log -fe trace=file /path/to/my/binary" | 17:36 |
| d-will | bazhang, it was working at 800 x 600 and all the way up to 1366 x768 | 17:37 |
| d-will | then the top one was 8 - something... I didn't mean to select that one but did on accident | 17:37 |
| TJ- | d-will: then after the program is closed, use a text-editor to go through the log-file looking for accesses to files in your home directory with a name beginning with a "." | 17:37 |
| bazhang | d-will, does a reset help with that? | 17:37 |
| kodak | oh, and another problem google isnt helping with. i bought SPAZ from indie bundle, and i have no sound :( | 17:37 |
| d-will | bazhang, no | 17:38 |
| d-will | TJ, I don't have any expirence working with logfiles really... Where would I find the logfile? | 17:38 |
| TJ- | d-will: if you just use an option like "-o myprog.log" you'll find "myprog.log" in the current directory. So if you make sure you're in your home directory when you run it, that's where you'll find it. To make sure of that, do "cd ~" before anything else | 17:40 |
| usr13 | TJ-: just cd will do | 17:40 |
| Icehawk78 | bazhang: As an update from before, it looks like I'm actually succumbing to this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz-core/+bug/914773 | 17:41 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 914773 in mesa (Ubuntu) "[radeon] Compiz memory leak and blank screen unable to login when using radeon driver" [Critical,Confirmed] | 17:41 |
| genii-around | klpkt: OK, good. So at this point, you need to dig out what is supposed to be the password for it. Don't tell me what it is. Then: sudo nano /etc/wpa.conf and I will give you a link with the contents to put in that file. | 17:41 |
| TJ- | d-will: in the log-file you'll be looking for open(...) function calls and a file/directory name something like ".torchlight" or ".humble" or ".hib" or anything that suggests it is related to the bundle. The main thing is, the config file path will be in your home directory, so you can discount any file paths that don't start "/home/<your-user-name>/" | 17:42 |
| klpkt | genii-around: That almost sounded like you were going to do a magic trick "Don't tell me what it is" | 17:42 |
| d-will | TJ, what command goes before the -o option? | 17:42 |
| klpkt | genii-around: As in, the password for the network/router? | 17:43 |
| TJ- | d-will: the complete command would start off "strace -o myprog.log -fe trace=file " and then you'd end it with the name of your program | 17:43 |
| genii-around | klpkt: Yes, the wireless password it wants when you need to connect to it | 17:44 |
| genii-around | klpkt: http://pastebin.ca/2206359 is what to put in the file wpa.conf | 17:44 |
| TJ- | d-will: A faster way I sometimes use is simply to list the home directory contents by time most recently modified, as soon as the program has stopped ("ls -altr ~") | 17:45 |

| genii-around | klpkt: OK. So: sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces and I'll give another pastebin link shortly of what to add there | 17:53 |
| TJ- | d-will: You have to look at more than just the last entry... I look at the timestamps of the files/directories and match them to when I ran the program. ".xsession-errors" is a standard file generated by the X server. Doubtful it would contain error reports from the game, but it is a text file, so no harm in looking inside it for any hints | 17:53 |
| thebiglightbulb | klpkt try: sudo grep wlan0 | 17:53 |
| TJ- | dragonslay: For recovering files I generally use "photorec" | 17:53 |
| TJ- | d-will: many programs will have a sub-directory of ~/.config/ where they write their settings to | 17:54 |
| dragonslay | TJ-: can photorec use the file which we just obtained using dd? | 17:55 |
| TJ- | dragonslay: I think you can choose to search through image files, sure. I've actually had 'photorec' running on a bad DVD here for the past 2 days... and its *still* 2 hours from finishing! | 17:55 |
| klpkt | genii-around: The file already contains two lines of content; what should I do with it? | 17:56 |
| klpkt | thebiglightbulb: Nothing happens, it just stands there. | 17:56 |
| genii-around | klpkt: Just add to the content underneath and leave what is already there. http://pastebin.ca/2206369 then as before ctrl-x and Enter to save and exit | 17:56 |

| === kubuntu is now known as Guest6465 | ||
| RyanP | doug2: Guru, no.. experienced, yes.. | 19:19 |
| eutheria | doug2, yeah it is a pain enjoy your suffering | 19:19 |
| usr13 | phaphandede: Only if your zenthal server is running a chaching nameserver. | 19:19 |
| phaphandede | ok: short: xp and win7 clients (not yet joined to server) connected through dhcp router (adsl connection). Station connect to web 100%. I have setup 12.04 has PDC but clients can't join. the NXDOMAIN is not pingable | 19:19 |
| doug2 | RyanP/eutheria: So... uhm, I've been able to test the client connecting to the nagios server with send_nsca... that works. What I can't seem to work out if the nagios config on the client side... | 19:20 |
| usr13 | phaphandede: What is your native language? | 19:20 |
| phaphandede | french | 19:20 |
| Captain_Claw | Hello. I want to disable Nautilus opening when I connect my iPhone to Ubuntu 12.04. How do I change this behaviour? | 19:20 |
| usr13 | !french | phaphandede | 19:20 |
| ubottu | phaphandede: Nous sommes désolés, mais ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. | 19:20 |
| doug2 | RyanP/eutheria: Every document I've found gets to testing with send_nsca and then just stops cold. | 19:20 |
| phaphandede | well? my english is not good enough? :) | 19:21 |
| IdleOne | Captain_Claw: you should be able to disable that in nautilus settings. I'm not exactly sure where though I don't have nautilus installed. | 19:22 |
| usr13 | phaphandede: http://doc.zentyal.org/en/ | 19:22 |
| RyanP | doug2: Not sure, sorry. have you tried #nagios? | 19:22 |
| doug2 | RyanP: Yes. It's dead. | 19:23 |
| eutheria | doug2, i used to have a distributed nagios setup back in 2005, keeping all the config in sync was just a massive pain, i would just ignore the nsca have configure the email to give links to different nagios web ui's | 19:23 |
| aisey | ubuntu have codec to faster online steam play? | 19:23 |
| phaphandede | ok, thanks anyway...I have been there already o the docs....but thanks anyway | 19:23 |
| doug2 | RyanP: It's almost like nagios isn't set up on the client... do you do away with it altogether and schedule every service check some other way, maybe with cron!? | 19:23 |
| usr13 | phaphandede: Well, I know that you've told us at least 2 times what your problem is and I do not understand. I assume no one else does either because no one else has supplied any info for you either. | 19:23 |
| iTaivan | is Ubuntu HAve SteAM ? | 19:23 |
| bazhang | aisey, no, it's a site problem, not an ubuntu problem | 19:23 |
| dr_willis | iTaivan: Steam for Linux is a work in progress from what reports ive seen. | 19:23 |
| Benxyzzy | Can I get a list of valid filesystem types for mount? | 19:24 |
| dr_willis | iTaivan: the software center has several games if you really want to buy somthing.. theres also a lot of good free games out there. | 19:24 |
| Captain_Proton | RyanP, sorry I did see your problem. what was it? | 19:24 |
| plagman | has anyone heard of a massive disk write perf regression on X79 chipset from 3.2 to 3.5? | 19:24 |
| usr13 | phaphandede: If you are not using the router to resolve domain names, you could hard code it in the /etc/resolv.conf file. But if you have a router to do it for you, I'm not sure why you're not already using it. | 19:24 |
| iTaivan | :( | 19:24 |
| aisey | bazhang: thank you very much | 19:25 |
| RyanP | Captain_Proton: Not me.. | 19:25 |
| dr_willis | Benxyzzy: it depends on what filesystems the kernel supports.. what are you looking for? | 19:25 |
| Captain_Proton | RyanP, sorry Doug2 | 19:25 |
| usr13 | phaphandede: If you look at the resolv.conf file and see what it says for nameserver, that would give you a clue. | 19:25 |
| usr13 | /etc/resolv.conf | 19:25 |
| Captain_Proton | doug2, what was your nagios prolem | 19:25 |
| phaphandede | well that is my point...That is exactly what I don't understand...Why is my router not "let's say" acquiring domain names in my lan? It does for the wan...but not for the lan... | 19:26 |
| usr13 | phaphandede: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/dns.html | 19:26 |
| === cimo is now known as compact | ||
| === compact is now known as cimo | ||
| Benxyzzy | dr_willis: I'm getting a "you must specify the filesystem type" when trying to mount a truecrypt volume. I can't remember exactly what the type is, so I need a list of what the 'right answer' might be. "fat" for example gives "unknown filesystem type 'fat'" for instance. | 19:27 |
| tester | salut | 19:27 |
| usr13 | phaphandede: The router usually acts as a caching nameserver. It acquires DNS info from an official nameserver and passes it on to your LAN. | 19:27 |
| dr_willis | Benxyzzy: i would guess you would use ext2 ext3 or ext4 in most cases. but i dont use truecrypt. | 19:27 |
| aisey | bazhang: Thanks for your guide and quick problem solutions | 19:27 |
| truexfan81 | any idea why ubuntu dropped resolv.conf for resolvconf ? | 19:28 |
| Benxyzzy | dr_willis: I made the volume from windows many years ago, so it's going to be some kind of NTFS or FAT. It's not ntfs-3g, so that leaves the various types of FAT. Or it's corrupted... | 19:28 |
| === Guest6465 is now known as Enrique | ||
| miraj | truexfan81 , to be different | 19:29 |
| dr_willis | Benxyzzy: ntfs-3g is the rw version of NTFS. | 19:30 |
| truexfan81 | miraj: you're not killing me with specificity here | 19:30 |
| dr_willis | Benxyzzy: and 'vfat' should cover mosta ll the fat variants | 19:30 |
| usr13 | phaphandede: If, for some reason, your router's nameserver is not turned on, you can use an outside nameserver, like 8.8.8.8 In that case, you just see that the nameserver line in the /etc/resolv.conf file says: nameserver 8.8.8.8 | 19:30 |
| llutz | truexfan81: resolvconf exists since ages and makes handling with namerserver-entries easier. | 19:30 |
| truexfan81 | llutz: right, so why did it go away? | 19:31 |
| miraj | truexfan81 , there is no reason, no advantage. it was just to be different from the rest | 19:31 |
| llutz | truexfan81: its not gone | 19:31 |
| k4r1m | can someone recommend a solution for viewing IE7+ websites? I tried switching agents but a lot of content isn't visible >.< | 19:31 |
| ejo | websited designed for IE only deserve to be quietly ignored xD | 19:32 |
| === raving is now known as Sir_Fawnpug | ||
| k4r1m | ejo, I know but it's for work :( | 19:32 |
| shihan | you could always use the winetricks thihhngo | 19:33 |
| shihan | ejo that is | 19:33 |
| phaphandede | Ok, i understand that...My question is this one: Please keep in mind that my router handles the DNS for dhcp. I have 2 DNS server assigned in the router config. wan access is working good. But when i try to ping a "DOMAIN" from a XP or WIN seven, it is not working. When I say ping, i mean ping inside my own LAN...not on the web. Pings on the web are ok. | 19:33 |
| k4r1m | shihan, winetricks for IE? | 19:33 |
| phaphandede | it does not recognise my local domain names...but it does recognise IP's | 19:34 |
| aisey | Thank you very much for your fast respond ,good night. | 19:34 |
| shihan | k4r1m, yeah, im pretty sure it can intsall just about any version of ie iirc | 19:34 |
| k4r1m | shihan, let me check brb | 19:34 |
| ejo | forgive my joking around | 19:34 |
| shihan | sorry, i mean k4r1m, not ejo... my brain is not working apparently | 19:35 |
| phaphandede | if, from a workstation; I ping 192.168.2.8, I get response. If i ping goolge.com, i get response. If I ping zentyal.xxx.lan, iget nothing... | 19:35 |
| k4r1m | shihan, cool thanks | 19:35 |
| phaphandede | however, if i ping or dig @ my domain name from the server, i get response... | 19:36 |
| phaphandede | only my workstations are not finding "DOMAIN NAME" from my lan.... | 19:36 |
| phaphandede | is that a WINS problem or a DNS problem? | 19:36 |
| dr_willis | ejo: actually they need to be actively boycotted and compnained against | 19:37 |
| miraj | phaphandede , are your lan-side ip addresses assigned by dhcp? | 19:37 |
| dr_willis | bbl | 19:37 |
| shihan | phaphandede, your router is diong dns for you? what type of router/dns? | 19:37 |
| eutheria | i am trying to understand why not all dns traffic goes over my vpn to my remote dns servers | 19:37 |
| phaphandede | yes they are...from the router | 19:37 |
| * ejo agrees | 19:37 | |
| jiffe98 | what PAM service is touched with `id` ? | 19:37 |

| dhanasekaran | Hi Guys, set ulimit for unlimited for all the user How to do it? please guide me\ | 19:38 |
| shihan | phaphandede, is it doing dns for your lan domain? | 19:38 |
| phaphandede | my router assign ip adresses to my lan pc's | 19:38 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest6927 | ||
| phaphandede | well that is the point that I think I am missing | 19:38 |
| phaphandede | How would I figure that out? | 19:38 |
| shihan | when you say domain, do you mean like old style nt domain or active directory? | 19:39 |
| techkid6 | i cant figure out how to use gedit in console, help please | 19:39 |
| phaphandede | I pointed the WINS server in my router to my server IP on the LAN... | 19:39 |
| Benxyzzy | dr_willis: thanks for your help, it's pretty clear the volume is corrupted then. | 19:39 |
| xangua | techkid6: gedit is a graphical app | 19:39 |
| bazhang | techkid6, gedit is gui | 19:39 |
| econdudeawesome | howdy all. I'm running Matlab (student version--32bit) on ubuntu 12.04 x64. It requires me to install ia32-libs -- will this cause issues down the road? | 19:39 |
| techkid6 | oh | 19:39 |
| miraj | phaphandede , is your linksys router able to act as an authoritative (not just caching) dns server? | 19:39 |
| bazhang | techkid6, try nano | 19:39 |
| phaphandede | well: zentyal-pompage.lan | 19:39 |
| techkid6 | k | 19:39 |
| === michael__ is now known as Dekkard | ||
| shihan | econdudeawesome, shouldnt, its the basic library package for all 32bit libs | 19:40 |
| econdudeawesome | shihan: so it just adds a bunch of things, but shouldn't have conflicts? | 19:40 |
| phaphandede | how would I know that? I know it is authoritative DHCP... | 19:40 |
| shihan | econdudeawesome, correct, they'll all go into places specifically labelled for 32bit stuff | 19:40 |
| Dekkard | can anyone help with the dreaded laptop black screen (no illumination) problem with precise..? | 19:40 |
| phaphandede | but i don't know for DNS | 19:40 |
| econdudeawesome | shihan: fantastic. Thanks! | 19:40 |
| === matt_ is now known as Guest23303 | ||
| techkid6 | Thanks, got it ;) | 19:41 |
| shihan | phaphandede, afaik, dd-wrt doesnt have anything other then dnsmasq, so i dont think it can be authorative.... but if you have an AD server (if thats how your doing your windows domain) then it should also be a dns server... though it also sounds like your using zentyal as well | 19:42 |
| MonkeyDust | !nomodeset| Dekkard you mean this? | 19:42 |
| ubottu | Dekkard you mean 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 | 19:42 |
| miraj | phaphandede , if you don't know ... chances are pretty good that at best your Linksys is only caching DNS from your external upstream DNS servers. It would need to be a much more capable device to be a Master DNS (authoritative) server | 19:43 |
| phaphandede | ok...can I use my Zentyal for that? I guess I should transfer the DHCP service to the Zentyal server right? | 19:43 |
| miraj | phaphandede , you probably can | 19:44 |
| phaphandede | wow...ok...It would have nerver work then... | 19:44 |
| miraj | phaphandede , do you have many machines lanside? | 19:45 |
| chrisc1 | hey guys. Running a few boxes using various releases of Ubuntu Server. On the other side of the building (IT office), I've wall-mounted a monitor (with corresponding system underneath) on which I'd like to display a rotation of specific consoles on the servers that are tailing certain logs.. Does anyone know of a program/method to do this? | 19:45 |
| phaphandede | tell me...I am not a guru in network...If i setup my dhcp server in Zentyal (that I know how) what config should I apply in the router? | 19:45 |
| miraj | phaphandede , if you only have a few machines on your lan, it might be easier to use static ip addresses | 19:46 |
| phaphandede | well I have more that 30 | 19:46 |
| shihan | chrisc1, if i understand what your trying to do, what i'd do is add a line in each server that points the syslog output to a central machine, plug that to the monitor and push out all syslog info to the monitor | 19:46 |
| phaphandede | plus cell phones and printers etc | 19:46 |
| Dr_willis | chrisc1, sounds like you may need to use screen/tmux and some how script/automate it to rotate btween machines. one machine in each screen 'window' | 19:46 |
| Dr_willis | chrisc1, you may want to check into what shihan is saying and into the colortail/log colorizer tools also. | 19:47 |
| miraj | phaphandede , I have seen one BIND configuration to be used on the same machine as the DHCP server, but I don't have the link at-hand | 19:47 |
| phaphandede | in my router: I guess I would have to use a Gateway pointing to my dhcp server right? | 19:47 |
| chrisc1 | those are both fantastic ideas. I'm currently using multitail on each of the servers to print specific, high-priority lines in red. | 19:47 |
| phaphandede | ok...no problem. I can figure that out.... | 19:48 |
| chrisc1 | did not think of dumping the sys logs to a single machine. that's genius. | 19:48 |
| phaphandede | You answered me what I thought my problem was... | 19:48 |
| phaphandede | I wish it would end differently but....life is life... | 19:48 |
| miraj | phaphandede , you could also have your DNS/dhcp server do the NAT routing | 19:49 |
| MittRomney | I am trying to make a partition with gparted, but it won't let me resize | 19:50 |
| phaphandede | ya..that i know...I wanted to avoid that....not to LOAD the server.... | 19:50 |
| Captain_Proton | chrisc1, terminator, byobu That what i use on my server then scrip to run log like tail -f /var/log/syslog or whaterver | 19:51 |
| Benxyzzy | Thanks again, dr_willis | 19:51 |
| shihan | chrisc1, i actually do something similar but i have one machine that has syslog pushing do a mysql database, all the machines push syslog to that machine and i watch logs ocasionally with a php syslog viewer | 19:53 |
| dhanasekaran | user process limited change to unlimited , How to change please guide me | 19:54 |
| dhanasekaran | please guide me | 19:54 |
| chrisc1 | sorry for the delay, I'm not familiar with terminator or byobu, so I was reading up on them. so it does appear that there are multiple ways to go about this. | 19:54 |
| eutheria | urg, stupid lack of multiple dns search in openvpn nm | 19:54 |
| chrisc1 | my only concern is that one of the servers is much, much more active in printing to the logfile than the others | 19:54 |
| Dr_willis | http://posidev.com/blog/2009/06/04/set-ulimit-parameters-on-ubuntu/ this dhanasekaran ? | 19:54 |
| jrib | chrisc1: is there an actual goal or is it just sort of to look pretty? | 19:55 |
| chrisc1 | most of our IT department works in the vicinity of the screen, so the goal is that if something prints in red, it will catch someone's attention. | 19:55 |
| eutheria | the new dns system only seems to look up dns entries against vpn dns servers for the default openvpn domain name | 19:55 |
| Dr_willis | eyecandy and warnings that will get ignored after a day. ;) | 19:56 |
| dijonyummy | is there an easy way to see the amount of data i download over the network interface for different periods of time? | 19:56 |
| dhanasekaran | Dr_willis, Thanks i try | 19:56 |
| jrib | chrisc1: you should make it play a rick astley song instead of print in red; that should work :) | 19:56 |
| chrisc1 | the business is an online retailer and the main server prints changes to our mysql db.. whenever quantities are changed, orders are received, etc. | 19:56 |
| shihan | ahhh, we have a monitor that just runs xymon full time for the "look at me, im red" stuff :) | 19:56 |
| chrisc1 | *prints to the logfile, changes to our | 19:56 |
| chrisc1 | haha well, the intent is that it will help us to identify issues as they occur. | 19:57 |
| chrisc1 | whether or not they're actively participating in it can't really be helped by a sys admin :-p I leave that up to management and HR | 19:57 |

| subcool | can a person install win8 to usb via linux? all my results come up with vm, or some .exe | 20:02 |
| jrib | subcool: ask ##windows how to install win8 via usb | 20:03 |
| subcool | jrib, yea- but they dont support ubuntu | 20:03 |
| jrib | subcool: so you know how to install win8 via usb? | 20:03 |
| miraj | subcool , you could have linux copy one already installed win8 to another identical drive | 20:03 |
| subcool | jrib, all the instructions go with some windows exe software | 20:04 |
| subcool | miraj, uh- thats what im working on now- an installation. | 20:04 |
| rjune | What channel would be most helpful in tracking down issues with preseed files? | 20:05 |
| chrisc1 | I like the shock collar idea guys. ;) Thanks for the assistance. Have a great weekend! | 20:05 |
| shihan | subcool, if your talking about creating the usb installer from ubuntu, that can be quite tricky | 20:05 |
| TJ- | subcool: Are you trying to kill it already? :p | 20:05 |
| subcool | TJ- lol - just setting up a working WIn8 - imma VM it. | 20:05 |

| Dr_willis | i thought with windows you can now dd the iso straiguth to flash.. | 20:06 |
| TJ- | subcool: haha you're welcome... Windows in a VM; best place for it | 20:06 |
| shihan | subcool, you'd be better of installing a windows vm, then create the usb from within it cause setting up the usb flash drive is tough from within linux | 20:06 |
| subcool | thats what i thought thoo- | 20:06 |
| subcool | keep hearing that :/ | 20:06 |
| shihan | Dr_willis, you know, your probably right actually | 20:06 |
| subcool | well, im still downloading a trial of vmware - so ill try virtual box.. :/ | 20:07 |
| subcool | shihan, i keep hearing that-- guess so.. | 20:07 |
| subcool | TJ-, i was going to ask u something -- hhmm... | 20:07 |
| jrib | subcool: have you tried just dd'ing the iso you have of win8 to your usb stick device...? | 20:08 |
| TJ- | subcool: You can write the Win8 ISO directly to a USB device, too | 20:08 |
| subcool | jrib, no- and i dont think thatll work. | 20:08 |
| jrib | subcool: why...? | 20:08 |
| shihan | subcool, actually have a look at unetbootin, it apparently supports creating windows usb's as well... | 20:08 |
| subcool | - ok.. guess they changed something about thier isos ' -ok how would that owrk? | 20:08 |

| k1l | juniour: ahh, sry. bootup a live cd, remove the partitions (or delete the partitions from a windows utility. then put in a windows cd and restore the windows bootloader | 20:12 |
| Aristide | shihan, kdialog / zenity / dialog are too « basic » :/ | 20:12 |

| jrib | gordonjcp: can't you? With zenity for example? | 20:14 |
| subcool | whats the command again to check ur disks? | 20:15 |
| gordonjcp | jrib: apparently zenity is too simple | 20:15 |
| MonkeyDust | subcool fsck | 20:15 |
| jrib | gordonjcp: ah | 20:15 |
| Aristide | But kommander display on error when I try to load ui dialog box | 20:15 |
| juniour | kl1 can you explain in brief i am doing for the first time | 20:15 |
| juniour | kl1 plz | 20:15 |
| juniour | kl1 :) | 20:15 |
| TJ- | Aristide: See the "dialog" package | 20:15 |
| subcool | MonkeyDust, not what iw as talking about | 20:15 |
| subcool | TJ-, i remember now.. | 20:15 |
| subcool | I was running df, and saw that the mounts for my drives were dev . | 20:16 |
| k1l | juniour: you just need to remove the partitions. you could even let them on your pc, they wont harm you. | 20:16 |
| TJ- | subcool: /dev/mapper/ mostly | 20:16 |
| BluesKaj | subcool, sudo fdisk -l | 20:16 |
| k1l | juniour: so boot a live-ubuntu-cd or stick, and use gparted to delete them (but pay attention to not delete the windows one). | 20:17 |
| subcool | TJ-, yea-... | 20:17 |
| k1l | juniour: then you put your windows cd in and restore the windows bootloader (the actually command needs to be asked in the windows support. i dont recon it) | 20:17 |
| TJ- | subcool: LVM makes use of device-mapper (dmsetup) to create the device nodes for its volumes, and device-mapper puts the primary symlinks to the /dev/dm-?? devices in /dev/mapper/ | 20:18 |
| klpkt | genii-around: Are you still here? | 20:18 |
| subcool | TJ-, so- thats pretty confusing, because when i also go into gparted.. the partitions arent labeld | 20:18 |
| subcool | TJ-, so its like old school and having to only refer to the disk from /dev/sda format- but now its just /dev/mapper | 20:19 |
| shihan | you *can* refer to almost any storage under /dev/disk/.... | 20:19 |
| Jordan_U | juniour: If you boot from an Ubuntu LiveCD/USB I can walk you through re-installing an MS style MBR. | 20:19 |
| subcool | im trying to see what /sdx's i have and their size.. what command.. i dont like that fdisk | 20:19 |
| subcool | i need to figure out which one is my usb | 20:20 |
| Dr_willis | subcool, sudo fdisk -l will show you. | 20:20 |
| TJ- | subcool: No, you can refer to the disks also by their LABEL or the UUID - look in /dev/disk/by-{label,uuid}/ and you'll see links to the devices there too, as with other devices. ("ls -l /dev/disk/by-label/") | 20:20 |
| Dr_willis | I always give my disks/filesystems proper labels. :) even if its just "USB4Gb" | 20:20 |
| shihan | if you look at ls -al /dev/disk/by-path you can see which devices are hookup via usb | 20:20 |
| joel135 | subcool, 'df -h' | 20:21 |
| subcool | thanks joe | 20:21 |
| subcool | no- didnt do it.. | 20:21 |

| Martijn-NL2 | Is ubuntu 12.04 faster then Windows 7?? | 20:21 |
| subcool | Dr_willis, yea, thas what i need to re-setup | 20:22 |
| subcool | Martijn-NL2, thats a matter of opinion.. | 20:22 |

| TJ- | subcool: Well I'm protecting my interests - don't want another overnighter too soon :) | 20:28 |
| subcool | so- while im doing that- TJ- how do i label this thing up properly so i can see things like df and understand what they are doing | 20:28 |
| subcool | like gparted is screweed | 20:28 |
| TJ- | subcool: Label up what precisely? We labelled all the LVs and file-systems when we configured it | 20:28 |

| subcool | oh | 20:30 |
| subcool | sob | 20:30 |
| wN | i heard the new gparted works with lvm | 20:30 |
| subcool | ok- then.. what can i use.. | 20:30 |
| TJ- | subcool: For a GUI, "sudo apt-get install system-config-lvm" | 20:31 |
| JustBelieving | Okay I'm back for sure. How would I update IcedTea on ubuntu 12.04 | 20:32 |

| wN | thats a feature of unity | 20:35 |

| TJ- | xibalba: which iDRAC flavour are you using? | 20:40 |
| xibalba | shihan, yes through the web gui & remote console i'm mounting an ISO for install | 20:40 |
| Dr_willis | spupuser, whqat ubuntu are you using? menu.lst is for the old grub1 not grub2 | 20:40 |
| xibalba | doesn't seem to go past 5mbit/sec, using idrac7 enterprise | 20:40 |
| spupuser | http://pastebin.com/P6Z9ew2S | 20:40 |
| spupuser | yeah im using brub 1 | 20:40 |
| spupuser | grub* | 20:40 |
| TJ- | xibalba: how are you connected to it? the 1Gbps NIC? | 20:41 |
| shihan | xibalba, yeah, i find the same actually... i think its just the general slowness of trying to push that data thru the little web application it uses | 20:41 |
| Dr_willis | spupuser, we have to wonder.. why? | 20:41 |
| xibalba | shihan, yeah i thoguht it might not have the cycles to go any faster. i have a 1gbit/sec connection between data centers to this box | 20:41 |
| spupuser | its actually backtrack 5 that im having the issue with but i hear its based on an older ubuntu so i figured it was grub 1 | 20:41 |
| xibalba | TJ-, remote data center, but 1gbit/sec between data centers | 20:41 |

| xibalba | TJ-, i'm expericing about 20 minutes on a esxi installer which is ~300MB | 20:44 |
| xibalba | i think they're 30 min claim for win2k8 is a little exagerated | 20:44 |
| TJ- | _Marcus: It's telling you that it can't create a 'virtual' screen that is 3200x900. That is controlled by the video adapter. For some video drivers you can change that by putting custom settings in the X server's xorg.conf | 20:45 |
| _Marcus | TJ-: I think I figured it out. I am using the AMD Catalyst Control Center to set it up right now. | 20:45 |
| TJ- | _Marcus: ahhh, ok... you have the proprietary drivers | 20:46 |
| TJ- | xibalba: It seems like speed is/has been an issue though, else they wouldn't be calling out those figures | 20:46 |

| XiaolinDraconis | i need to un-update chrome | 20:47 |
| deadmund | lenochka: when you enter 'service uinetd restart' the term 'uknown instance' is referring to the 'restart' in that command. | 20:48 |
| deadmund | lenochka: I believe. | 20:48 |
| lenochka | hmm | 20:49 |
| lenochka | deadmund: do you mean there is no such action as restart | 20:49 |
| lenochka | I tried stop | 20:49 |
| lenochka | gives me same for stop | 20:49 |
| deadmund | lenochka: apparently there is no suc action as stop | 20:49 |
| lenochka | hmm | 20:49 |
| lenochka | interesting | 20:49 |
| vanessa | yap | 20:50 |
| deadmund | lenochka: Perhaps I'm remembering incorrectly. It might be referring to the 'inetd' part. I am pretty sure it's the 'stop' | 20:50 |
| lenochka | Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an | 20:50 |
| lenochka | Upstart job, you may also use the stop(8) utility, e.g. stop xinetd | 20:50 |
| shihan | lenochka, when you go "service uinetd" whats it say? | 20:50 |
| vanessa | hya budy anyone can help me to find some chanels from uk? | 20:50 |
| deadmund | might just be uinet | 20:50 |
| vanessa | thank u | 20:50 |
| lenochka | it gives me usage suggestion | 20:51 |
| lenochka | Usage: /etc/init.d/xinetd COMMAND | 20:51 |
| klpkt | genii-around: Just wondering, what is your job? | 20:51 |
| lenochka | deadmund: so i guess i should enter some command which would be something like restart | 20:52 |
| deadmund | lenochka: worht a shot! | 20:52 |
| deadmund | lenochka: using service is the correct syntax. Despite the system's recommendation | 20:52 |

| shihan | uh: well, dependson what you mean | 21:02 |
| Uh | All of them. | 21:02 |
| shihan | uh: lol, i mean user account passwords or passwords stored in your keyring to login to other machines | 21:02 |
| Uh | It asks me to authenticate when I try to uninstall/install or when i boot up, the key ring | 21:02 |
| genii-around | klpkt: If that change is made to /etc/network/interfaces then next boot it should be able to connect. | 21:02 |
| lenochka | TJ-: OK, thx, I guess I forgot about it..... | 21:03 |
| TJ- | Uh: You can configure the GUI to do autologin, if a user is in the nopasswdlogin group. You can configure sudoers to not require a password when you use 'sudo', too | 21:04 |
| shihan | uh: well, theres a couple of options. you can turn on auto-login from the user acount setup so it logs you in directly when the machine boots up... you can also remove the password prompt for install/uninstall thingos... then theres "passwd -d" on the command line to actually remove the password from the account - personally i wouldnt recommend any of those | 21:04 |
| Uh | well I put no password in, with autologin, then it asked for a password that didn't exist | 21:04 |
| klpkt | genii-around: I did those, and then rebooted, but it doesn't seem to have worked. | 21:04 |

| techkid6 | thanks | 21:26 |
| VLanZ | TJ: *i guess i've partitioned the rest correctly | 21:26 |
| escott | VLanZ, you probably need that 1MB to be properly aligned | 21:26 |
| VLanZ | escott: sotty what do you mean? | 21:26 |
| VLanZ | is that being sarcastic? | 21:26 |
| TJ- | VLanZ: The small unallocated spaces are caused because partitioners like to arrange partitions on 'cylinder' boundaries. That's a silly legacy from when disks really were addressed using CHS about 20 years ago! | 21:27 |
| VLanZ | oh i see.. but how can i partition correctly regarding sector counts? | 21:27 |
| VLanZ | does fstab allow me to do that? | 21:27 |
| TJ- | VLanZ: the unallocated space will be between the end of one partition, and the start of the next 'cylinder' boundary | 21:27 |
| TJ- | VLanZ: it's not worth worrying about! | 21:28 |
| TJ- | VLanZ: You can use fdisk to allocate whole numbers of cylinders, yes | 21:28 |
| escott | VLanZ, for performance reasons you sometimes need to have some unallocated space on the disk. disk drive firmwares may not like being unaligned and the disk could be slower if you use that 1MB | 21:28 |
| VLanZ | I must reinstall due to other reasons so i might try to get this right this time | 21:28 |
| TJ- | VLanZ: CHS is just a mirage these days, all disks use LBA (Logical Block Addressing) | 21:29 |
| VLanZ | TJ: wait. it iis a SSD by the way | 21:29 |
| TJ- | VLanZ: I know - but tools like fdisk/cfdisk etc. all like to pretend the block device has cylinders, heads, and tracks | 21:29 |
| TJ- | VLanZ: If you use GPT instead of msdos disk labels, you don't need to worry about CHS | 21:30 |
| VLanZ | TJ: ehm.. i gess this is too advanced for me.. i'll lock up what GPT is b4 | 21:32 |

| BEC | does /home cause any issues? | 21:36 |
| deadmund | trennor: over wifi? Maybe the wifi driver is killing you. | 21:36 |
| escott | BEC, more than likely yes. you will want to nuke ~/.config | 21:36 |

| deadmund | trennor: Take a look at this: www.dedoimedo.com/computers/linux-system-debugging-super.html | 21:38 |
| TJ- | maheanuu: OK... I can't explain your symptoms, but I'd be looking in the log-files in /var/log/ for clues. Also, which browser is always using VLC? most browsers have a tab where you can configure which application opens each mime-type | 21:38 |
| BEC | the looks of 12.04 is great but the underlying system is a drawback for me; wifi not working as used to, problems installing , mathematica/maple | 21:39 |
| trennor | deadmund, thanks for the link; checking. | 21:39 |
| BEC | tomboy | 21:39 |
| deadmund | trennor: It's quite elaborate | 21:39 |
| maheanuu | TJ-, I use Firefox as my browser and all was fine until i installed VLC and it immediatly took over my downloads of any video/audio and I have to use magnet to do any downloads in order to have Transmission doing the work | 21:40 |
| TJ- | maheanuu: Ahhh, so it is just media files then. I think what you're seeing is the fact that VLC registers with the system to open all types of media files by their mime-type, so it's probably not specific to your browser. Firefox can be set to always ask what you want to do with a file | 21:42 |
| maheanuu | TJ-, what commands do I need to look at the /var/log files | 21:42 |
| genii-around | BEC: I'm currently testing 12.10 actually | 21:42 |
| VLanZ | any clue why i'm not allowed to issue "fstrim /dev/sda1/" but just "fstrim /" ? | 21:43 |
| BEC | genii-around, how does it round up vs 12.04? | 21:43 |
| TJ- | maheanuu: The log-files won't help for the VLC issue. The /var/log/kern.log might help understand why USB storage devices are mounted read-only, if you view it after plugging a device in. You can use "Log File Viewer" for opening the log-files. | 21:43 |
| jrib | VLanZ: well the man page says fstrim expects a mount point | 21:44 |
| maheanuu | TJ-,I try to download text or other pdf files and have the same thing happening in the downloads, but the pen drives and external hard drives happened to come up read only at the same time or so I believe | 21:44 |
| genii-around | BEC: Seems faster. I don't use Unity or Gnome for my regular desktop though, I'm on KDE mostly, sometimes XFCE. | 21:44 |
| VLanZ | jrib: but this way i just manage to trim the current partition, how about another device? | 21:44 |
| jrib | VLanZ: mount it and point fstrim to its mount point | 21:45 |

| VLanZ | jrib: oh right now i got it | 21:45 |
| VLanZ | sorry | 21:45 |

| TJ- | maheanuu: try a different browser. Try to narrow down the issue. | 21:46 |
| VLanZ | however someone argues on the point that the trim function for SSD's hould be implemented directly on /etc/fstab | 21:46 |
| VLanZ | with noatime and such as | 21:46 |
| ollie_ | Why can't I find the linux-preempt kernel in apt? | 21:46 |
| VLanZ | other guys suggest to run weekly the fstrim -v command | 21:47 |
| escott | VLanZ, trim can be very very time consuming and reduce the lifetime of the disk if done incorrectly and/or with bad firmware on the ssd | 21:47 |
| VLanZ | escott: it's a quite new drive, a Corsair GT force and it does support ir | 21:48 |
| VLanZ | *it | 21:48 |
| bekks | Basically, using recent Ubuntu versions, and recent ext4 versions, trim is already implemented, and can easily be enabled by just adding "discard" to the fstab. | 21:48 |
| VLanZ | why do you say it can damage it? | 21:49 |
| escott | VLanZ, SSD firmware and its relationship with the OS is still very immature. its not clear where the responsibility for things lies... so the conservative approach is for the OS to be cautious and do nothing. if you know the physical block size of your SSD and its alignment and are confident the firmware can handle trims then go ahead, but the OS doesn't know the answers to those questions | 21:49 |
| VLanZ | escott: wow it seems very dangerous | 21:49 |
| escott | VLanZ, if I tell the firmware to discard a logical block C which is part of a physical block [ABCD] where B and D are not being trimmed (because they have data), I could end up triggering a rewrite of the B,D blocks to a new location | 21:50 |
| bekks | Which isnt dangerous, but can lower the lifetime of a disk. | 21:51 |
| escott | VLanZ, even though just saying "I don't need this block, don't track it" seems to be a "safe" operation, it could trigger writes | 21:51 |
| escott | VLanZ, which as bekks says, should be safe for the data, but could shorten the life of the disk | 21:51 |
| VLanZ | escott: sorry, but i don't quite understand how that could be harmful for the life of the drive | 21:52 |
| VLanZ | cause of the multiple write operations that the drive must sustain? | 21:53 |
| gordonjcp | VLanZ: trim is brilliant, you should use it as much as possible to keep your disks nice and fast. What happens is that if you use trim a couple of times, the massive number of writes will kill the SSD so you send it back under warranty, and you'll probably get a newer, faster one | 21:53 |
| bekks | The more often you use a "thing", the higher the chance to break it. | 21:53 |
| bekks | Not even a disk, but everything. | 21:53 |
| escott | VLanZ, SSDs only get a finite number of writes, and do not support overwriting. every time you write a single bit, it has to read a large block (perhaps as much as 4MB) and find a space to write the whole thing out again | 21:53 |
| VLanZ | gordonjcp: you mean trim can help me having a faster drive by buying another one?? wtf??? | 21:54 |
| VLanZ | lol | 21:54 |
| VLanZ | so why is it even implemented | 21:55 |
| XiaolinDraconis | is purge part of the update process? | 21:55 |
| escott | VLanZ, you probably don't need to be worrying about trim at all unless your disk usage is high 80% or higher. if its lower than that, then there are plenty of free blocks | 21:55 |
| XiaolinDraconis | i just updated this morning and apt-cache is not listing a previous version of chromium-browser | 21:56 |
| escott | VLanZ, but if you turn over a large number of blocks (say you update from 12.04->12.10) then thats a good time to think about trimming | 21:56 |
| SumoJim | When I put a USB into the computer, it is auto-mounted to /media/disk. What is the name of the service that does this? | 21:56 |
| escott | SumoJim, udev and udisks | 21:57 |
| Guest20344 | Hmm. Quick question. | 21:57 |
| VLanZ | escott: but i didnt know that trimming a drive would reduce te mtbf of the drive | 21:57 |
| VLanZ | what the hell | 21:57 |
| maheanuu | TJ-, here are the pasted files from the syslog can you tell anything from them? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1219498/ | 21:58 |
| escott | VLanZ, this is a bit old, but explains some of the concerns http://blog.valerieaurora.org/2008/09/13/to-ssd-or-not-to-ssd/ | 21:58 |
| SumoJim | escott Ok great! I think udisks might be my starting point. Thanks! | 21:58 |
| TJ- | maheanuu: those are errors when the device is connected, seeming to indicate the device has a problem of some sort and cannot be addressed | 21:59 |
| Guest20344 | I've got a touch screen and a till which need some commands to get connected, so I'm putting these in a update-rc.d script. This runs absolutely perfectly, However upon shutting ubuntu down again the shutdown process stalls. Any suggestions as to what would cause that? | 21:59 |
| gordonjcp | VLanZ: trim is an excellent way to ruin SSDs | 21:59 |
| gordonjcp | VLanZ: so if you use it often, you'll always have the latest and greatest SSD, until you go broke | 22:00 |
| VLanZ | gordonjcp: so in your opinion, what is the best way to achieve what trim was meant for, whatever that is? | 22:00 |
| Grivvel | Hello! When I start up a persistent Live USB install, TTYs 1-6 are pre-logged in to an account with root access. Is there any way to change this? (Preferably, I'd like those TTYs to require login just like they would in a normal install) | 22:00 |
| gordonjcp | VLanZ: it's not necessary | 22:00 |
| escott | VLanZ, all things in moderation, and keep good backups. benchmark a write to the disk when it is new. if it seems slower benchmark a write and if it is substantially slower consider trimming then | 22:01 |
| VLanZ | gordonjcp: wait , maybe i get it: trim saves time by preemptively clearing a sector thus allowing the drive to be much faster on the subsequential write, but since trimming a drive causes some wear you could end up destroying it? | 22:02 |
| escott | Grivvel, if you have physical access (which you must for a USB boot) you are generally considered to already have root. if you are concerned about the contents of your files on the usb use an encrypted filesystem | 22:02 |
| maheanuu | Does anyone have any ideas on why all pen drives and external drives that I try to look at are being catagorized as read only and these are drives that read perfectly well on other computers of the windoze variety | 22:02 |
| SumoJim | Hmm... service udisks start udisks: unrecognized service | 22:02 |
| gordonjcp | VLanZ: any time you write, you reduce the lifespan of the disk | 22:02 |
| gordonjcp | VLanZ: you can only write a block of flash a couple of hundred thousand times | 22:03 |
| VLanZ | gordonjcp: not reads, just writes? | 22:03 |
| gordonjcp | VLanZ: that sounds like a lot, but imagine what happens when you put swap on flash :-) | 22:03 |
| escott | VLanZ, just reads | 22:03 |
| Grivvel | escott: Hmm, I suppose that makes sense. Thanks! | 22:03 |
| VLanZ | gordonjcp: fuck swap, i've disabled it the 1st time i installed ubuntu | 22:03 |
| BEC | genii-around, gtg bye | 22:04 |
| escott | VLanZ, and that 100,000 times is a lot less in practice because filesystems aren't balanced (some parts are read and written much more frequently) and because physical blocks on SSDs are larger than logical blocks | 22:04 |
| VLanZ | escott: exactly, so you would end up with data loss, reallocated sectors or what? | 22:04 |
| VLanZ | escott: wait, you meant "just writes" right? | 22:05 |
| escott | VLanZ, reads are safe, writes are harmful. read the post by aurora i sent earlier. she explains what the failure modes are like (sudden and catastrophic) | 22:06 |
| escott | VLanZ, in and SSD everything is a reallocated sector. the firmware is constantly relocating data on the SSD trying to wear level the device | 22:06 |
| VLanZ | escott: ok, but just one more thing: do you remember the gui method to run the benchmark in 12.04 ? | 22:07 |
| VLanZ | not the hdparm -t one | 22:07 |
| VLanZ | so i can now compare it between the on ei've made 2 months ago | 22:07 |
| escott | VLanZ, there are a bunch of harddrive benchmarks. i would use one that goes through the FS like bonnie++ | 22:08 |
| mwmnj | Anyone around able to help me out with a shell script? | 22:08 |

| escott | bekks, no. that won't work. brad rm -- -filename | 22:09 |
| brad | ya, I tried escaping, no luck | 22:09 |
| genii-around | Or enclose it in double-quotes | 22:09 |
| brad | rm -- worked :) thanks | 22:09 |
| VLanZ | escott: however i don't see the big deal on that, just backup your data 120 or 250 GB is not that much and when it'll break in few yours you can actually get one more which would be 3 or 4 times faster and more affordable :) | 22:10 |
| escott | genii-around, bekks. the problem is not that the "-" isn't making it to rm, its that rm doesn't realize that "-" isn't the beginning of an argument. command -args -- -non-args is the standard way to get around this | 22:10 |
| escott | VLanZ, if you have good backups, and have the time to take backups, and have the money to replace hardware, trim to your hearts content | 22:11 |

| XiaolinDraconis | how can i install an older version of chromium | 22:15 |
| XiaolinDraconis | todays update is screwed up | 22:15 |
| jrib | SumoJim: is there something specific you are trying to accomplish? | 22:15 |
| SumoJim | escott: By the way, are there any cases where some rules not get fired off? My current problem is that there is no automount with the custom .desktop file someone stuck in /usr/share/xsessions.. and I'm suspecting it's the cause since it works when I change it back. | 22:15 |

| Pierreb | how can i autostart a script when the machine boots? ive put it in "rc.local" but it wont start... | 22:20 |
| SumoJim | jrib: I don't know if that will do much good... instead of startxfce4 like the old one, it launches a custom script... then a bunch of magic happens where no menus are allowed. | 22:20 |
| jrib | Pierreb: what kind of script? | 22:21 |
| Pierreb | jrib: or nvm its a screen session | 22:21 |
| jrib | Pierreb: for a user? | 22:21 |
| Pierreb | jrib: yes | 22:21 |
| jrib | Pierreb: I would suggest just using @reboot in the user's crontab | 22:22 |
| Pierreb | jrib: that sounds like what im looking for thanks :) | 22:22 |

| chance | It's hard to find a google query that makes sense and returns what I'm looking for | 22:25 |
| jrib | chance: probably possible with pulseaudio, but I'm not sure. Try exploring pavucontrol | 22:25 |
| SumoJim | "launcher" is a sort of kisok type display. | 22:26 |
| SumoJim | jrib: "launcher" is a sort of kisok type display. | 22:26 |
| chance | jrib: I was looking at it, but it only shows either the stereo out speakers OR the headphones | 22:26 |
| jrib | chance: under configuration, you have a profile for each? | 22:27 |
| wizardd | hey does anyone know any software for linux that allow you to handwrite math equations with mouse and convert that into images or text, like mathtype does? | 22:27 |
| === aaaas is now known as aaas | ||
| chance | jrib: that was under output devices, but there are quite a few profiles in Configuration | 22:28 |
| jrib | SumoJim: hmm... wild guess: « ck-list-sessions », what's the output of that? Less wild guess: I noticed that the default .desktop files have a different "Type" than the one you pasted. I don't know what the "Type" means, but change it to what ubuntu.desktop has for example and see if it makes a difference | 22:28 |
| matzipan | guys? any idea why the updates last week broke the amd fglrx driver? | 22:29 |
| matzipan | *ati | 22:29 |
| trism | chance: definitely possible if you have separate usb headphones, in pavucontrol on the playback tab you can select the device, but if it is just a headphone jack I don't know that you can | 22:29 |
| matzipan | if the driver is enabled unity won't even start | 22:29 |
| VLanZ | gordonjcp: so i got this SSD that used to belong to a windows PC, do i have to do something before partitioning it to improve it? like trimming, dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda and so on? | 22:30 |
| jrib | chance: in my case I notice that if I enable multiple profiles in the "configuration" tab, then I get a dropdown next to each application in the first tab and I can choose different profiles. There's also a pulseaudio channel you can try on this network; they might be able to point you in the right direction. You're free to also continue trying here of course | 22:31 |
| escott | SumoJim, you probably aren't running a dbus session for your user. i suspect the udev rule is firing, but that it doesn't know on whose behalf udisks is supposed to be doing the mounting | 22:31 |
| chance | trism: Thanks, I didn't realize they made usb headphones | 22:31 |
| escott | SumoJim, same as if you were logged into the console | 22:31 |
| escott | VLanZ, you can use hdparm to tell the firmware to discard the entire disk | 22:31 |
| chance | jrib: Thanks. I'll ask over there. | 22:32 |
| jrib | chance: they make usb toasters -_- | 22:32 |
| VLanZ | escott: ehm... what? | 22:32 |
| VLanZ | doesn't sound really safe! | 22:32 |
| VLanZ | it is? | 22:32 |
| Kravilanth | Hello! I'm having issues when running "apt-get install" commands. The application I try to install works but I get an error every time that says "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place;errors were encountered while processing: oracle-java7-installer;E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) | 22:32 |
| escott | VLanZ, man hdparm | grep -C5 discard | 22:33 |
| zalg | anybody know of a place where I can get a free ubuntu shell for coding? | 22:33 |
| chance | jrib: Automatic breakfast! | 22:33 |
| escott | VLanZ, if you plan to erase the entire disk, telling the firmware to discard with --trim-sector-ranges is faster and better | 22:34 |
| VLanZ | escott: so --trim-sector-ranges is exceptionally dangerous cause it destroys data but nothing else? | 22:34 |
| SumoJim | ok, I chanes "Type" to "Application", just as it was in xfce.desktop (There is no ubuntu.desktop anymore) | 22:34 |
| escott | VLanZ, yes | 22:34 |
| escott | VLanZ, if it were dangerous in some other way they wouldn't include it in the tool | 22:34 |
| VLanZ | escott: is it really different form zeroing the disk with dd? don't seem too much | 22:35 |
| VLanZ | am i wrong? | 22:35 |
| VLanZ | just to know... | 22:35 |
| escott | VLanZ, its completely different. | 22:35 |
| SumoJim | jrib: ok, I chanes "Type" to "Application", just as it was in xfce.desktop (There is no ubuntu.desktop anymore), still don't see it, but looking at what escott said, I am having to hit ctrl-alt-f2 to drop to a console to see if it's mounted... maybe that's the problem? | 22:35 |
| escott | VLanZ, if you write zeros to the disk, then the firmware thinks you want to keep the zeros, and starts to track them for you | 22:36 |
| VLanZ | ooh i see | 22:36 |
| === bryan is now known as Guest88285 | ||
| VLanZ | you mean on the mbr? | 22:36 |
| escott | VLanZ, doing dd /dev/zero /dev/ssd_device is just about the worst thing you could do to the ssd | 22:36 |
| SumoJim | escott: I'm having to hit ctrl-alt-f2 to drop out to the consle to get access to a terminal to check if it even mounted... will that effect whether it knows it should be availabe for my user? | 22:37 |
| bekks | escott: At least its the best stress test for a SSD :P | 22:37 |
| VLanZ | escott: ok i'll try with that command | 22:37 |
| escott | VLanZ, the "disk" presented to you by the SSD is completely logical. the actual SSD has 150GB+a couple megs, on which it runs its own filesystem | 22:37 |
| VLanZ | escott that's interesting... is it the way they can keep up with the 120GB space even reallocating secotrs? | 22:38 |
| VLanZ | and yes, my SSD is a 120GB one | 22:39 |
| escott | SumoJim, your desktop runs the xfwm4 windows manager and thats about it. all the "nice" desktop stuff isn't there and wont work. you need to be running some kind of dbus session with a session manager to have that stuff. the udev/udisks doesn't even know that anyone is logged in with that Xsession | 22:39 |
| escott | VLanZ, so yours is probably 120.1GB and that additional 100MB is used by the flash disk as overhead for its own filesystem which is uses to create a single gigantic block file which it presents to the OS as a 120GB drive with SATA semantics | 22:40 |
| SumoJim | escott: I'm hoping to be able to add all that "nice" desktop stuff into the script. I'm just looking for what to add. | 22:40 |
| escott | SumoJim, you would be better off customizing a gnome-session or ksession? (not sure what kde calls it), rather than writing an Xsession file | 22:41 |
| jrib | escott, SumoJim: to be fair, mounting seems to work ok when I use ~/.xsession and xmonad. But I can't recall if I had to do something special... | 22:42 |
| SumoJim | escott: Is my launch-hret file is? An Xsession file? (Sorry, kinda jumping in behind someone elses work who is on vacation, I'm still learning.) | 22:43 |
| SumoJim | escott: Ok... yea... I guess tht makes since with that "Type" field. | 22:45 |
| escott | SumoJim, Xsession is the old way of doing things. X starts these things and waits for the final one to finish and then closes the server. its not particularly user friendly. hard to make a gui that can edit files in /etc/X11 and having ~/.Xsession is complicated for the display-manager. so the hack-around was to make Xsession just start "gnome-session" and let gnome-session do all the session managing work, and then have gui's into gno | 22:45 |
| escott | me-sessions configuration | 22:45 |
| VLanZ | escott: but i do get to see how many sectors have been reallocated on my SSD? | 22:45 |
| escott | VLanZ, reallocated isn't a concept on an SSD | 22:45 |

| wpauls | ikonia, I have this number too bha 9aa 02985 | 22:52 |
| VLanZ | escott: i've told it to trim sectors 0:234441648 but i get "trim-sector-ranges[0]: bad/missing sector count" | 22:52 |
| ikonia | wpauls: as that camera has no linux support listed and a propritary windows driver, I suspect you will be out of luck | 22:53 |
| VLanZ | escott: geometry = 14593/255/63, sectors = 234441648, start = 0 | 22:53 |

| Dantevios | can I install one? and what level of difficulty would it be? | 23:00 |
| ikonia | Dantevios: why don't you use ubuntu desktop ? | 23:00 |
| escott | VLanZ, I believe that is a limitation of the ATA standard that it only accepts a 16bit number for the amount to trip. you will want to script it so that you trim 0:16635 then 16636:131070 etc | 23:01 |

| ikonia | Dantevios: the "desktop" is the gui | 23:02 |
| escott | VLanZ, i guess that second one is a sector count do it doesn't change. its just 65536*k:65536 | 23:03 |
| ikonia | Dantevios: there are ubuntu versions such as xubuntu lubuntu that use non-gnome desktops that are supposed to be lighter | 23:03 |

| ikonia | Dantevios: open the package manager, select the software you don't want, click "remove | 23:03 |
| ikonia | Dantevios: depends, is this a desktop PC or a genuine server platform | 23:04 |
| ikonia | TrueNhero: well done on getting your issue clearly explained | 23:04 |
| Dantevios | think of it as a server with a GPU ikonia | 23:04 |
| ikonia | Dantevios: that's not what I asked | 23:04 |
| ikonia | Dantevios: depends, is this a desktop PC or a genuine server platform | 23:04 |
| TrueNhero | i had install libc6 2.15 then the system doesnt start | 23:04 |
| Dantevios | My desktop is a desktop but it is powerful enough to compete with a Dell Poweredge server | 23:04 |
| ikonia | Dantevios: again, that's not what I asked | 23:05 |
| ikonia | Dantevios: depends, is this a desktop PC or a genuine server platform | 23:05 |
| Dantevios | it has an i7 860 chip in it and 16 gigs of ram | 23:05 |
| ikonia | so it's a desktop PC yes ? | 23:05 |
| Dantevios | yes, but it will be used as a virtualization server | 23:05 |
| Dantevios | essentially | 23:05 |
| ikonia | Dantevios: right, so I'd advise you to use the desktop install ubuntu/xubuntu/lubuntu and remove packages you don't want | 23:05 |
| zamn_ | hey i'm trying to resize my root partition and for some reason gparted wont let me. Can you guys help me? | 23:05 |
| ikonia | simpley because the desktop CD is designed to be used with desktops and tools to configure desktop style hardware | 23:05 |
| Dantevios | why ikonia ? What is different about the server edition why is that special? | 23:06 |
| xangua | zamn_: are you on a live cd¿ | 23:06 |
| Dantevios | are we talking different driver packages here? | 23:06 |
| Dantevios | or what | 23:06 |
| zamn_ | xangua: i'm on gparted live cd as i was told to use that | 23:06 |
| ikonia | Dantevios: it's designed for server platforms that don't use desktop packages such as wireless cards, desktop video cards etc | 23:06 |
| L3top | server = quality of I/O and redundancy. Essentially... different hardware. | 23:06 |
| jilt007 | Hello All! | 23:06 |

| XiaolinDraconis | what command would i need? | 23:09 |
| ikonia | XiaolinDraconis: are you running ubuntu 12.04 ? | 23:09 |
| XiaolinDraconis | ikonia, yes | 23:09 |
| escott | Dantevios, the only reason i can think of for installing a desktop as the primary hypervisor in kvm/xen is (a) you don't want to run another linux desktop as a guest (b) you want to use the primary video card, but cannot pass it through with vt-d | 23:10 |
| Scunizi | I had the PPA enabled for LibreOffice (most current) and had issues with one file being held back during an update. Googled, removed LO and couldn't get it back. Disabled the PPA and loaded the current version in the ubuntu repos. No issues until I try to run anything from LO and it segfaults according to dmesg. HOw do I fix this? | 23:10 |
| ikonia | XiaolinDraconis: then if you open the package manager, search for chrome and hit install, it will install | 23:10 |
| XiaolinDraconis | ikonia, no that would install version 20 | 23:10 |
| juniour | XiaolinDraconis wt you want to install google chrome | 23:10 |
| XiaolinDraconis | ikonia, with todays update chromium is crashing extensions | 23:10 |
| ikonia | XiaolinDraconis: is there a reason you don't want to use the current ubuntu packaged versin | 23:10 |
| XiaolinDraconis | ^ | 23:11 |
| Dantevios | escott: I do want to run another linux desktop as a guest and I do want the functionality of doing a pass through. I have heard ubuntu has xen in it's repos that's why I want to use it specifically. | 23:11 |
| ikonia | XiaolinDraconis: you'll need to use apt-get $package version=$version | 23:11 |
| Dantevios | but if the host OS doesn't have the correct video drivers then that's pointless so I guess that rules server edition out for me | 23:11 |
| ikonia | Dantevios: why do you care about the server GPU ? | 23:11 |
| chamunks | is there a hardware profiler program that i can use to print a report on whats under the hood of my machine here? | 23:11 |

| L3top | XiaolinDraconis: yes | 23:14 |
| escott | Dantevios, i was looking into doing this myself (haven't purchased the hardware though) and one thing I read was that a VT-d passthrough of the primary display adapter was not possible in either KVM or XEN. if thats still true then you would lose the intel HD (or at least it would only be accessible to the primary hypervisor) | 23:14 |

| XiaolinDraconis | L3top, thanks, now i cant understand why that version is not found | 23:15 |
| ikonia | Dantevios: never going to happen | 23:15 |
| Dantevios | Yee hath little faith ikonia :) | 23:15 |
| escott | ikonia, why do you say that? | 23:15 |
| ikonia | Dantevios: not really, just experience in it | 23:16 |
| Dantevios | in PCIe passthrough? | 23:16 |
| Dantevios | with HVMs | 23:16 |
| L3top | XiaolinDraconis: apt-cache search chromium-browser the specific version avail will be one of the options. | 23:16 |
| ikonia | Dantevios: you're running on home desktop hardware | 23:16 |
| escott | ikonia, he has an i7 so it supports Vt-d | 23:16 |
| ikonia | it won't access things quick enough | 23:16 |
| XiaolinDraconis | L3top, thats where i got that version | 23:16 |
| ikonia | escott: yeah, try it | 23:16 |
| Dantevios | ikonia: my i7 860 supports direct IO and Vt-d | 23:17 |
| VLanZ | escott: weird... it doesnt accept any range above secotr 65535... | 23:17 |
| juniour | subcool for that you have to create another partation | 23:17 |
| ikonia | escott: it's great for things that access the gpu, but gaming...no, | 23:17 |
| Dantevios | That's why i told you to think of it as a server | 23:17 |
| escott | ikonia, well i want to try it, but i'd like to know what to buy before spending the money | 23:17 |
| ikonia | Dantevios: it's not though | 23:17 |
| subcool | juniour, i already have- im trying to copy it now.. | 23:17 |
| Dantevios | the hardware in my desktop is comperable to a Dell Poweredge as I told you | 23:17 |

| ikonia | Dantevios: no, it's not | 23:17 |
| juniour | kkk | 23:17 |
| escott | ikonia, are you saying that the added memory latency from the second indirect lookup in the virtualization is the problem? | 23:18 |
| Dantevios | ok same chips, same ram, same north bridge bus, i don't see why it's not | 23:18 |
| Dantevios | but ok | 23:18 |
| juniour | subcool usermod -d /home/your_home_directory USERNAME | 23:18 |
| subcool | whats that do? | 23:18 |
| juniour | subcool then chown -R USERNAME /new_location/your_home_directory | 23:18 |
| ikonia | escott: the demos I've seen and worked with can access the video cards great, no problem, but in terms of accessing the video, working it with a guest OS to do fast rendering graphics like a FPS, no, it just doesn't cut it | 23:18 |
| ikonia | escott: so the short answer is "yes" | 23:19 |
| ikonia | escott: however things that need to access the gpu for say drawing or video editoring, yes it seems to work well | 23:19 |
| Dantevios | ikonia: how come softxpand can do it then? | 23:19 |
| ikonia | Dantevios: I don't know what softxpand is to be honest | 23:19 |

| lawltoad | hi, i have a macbook pro 9,1 and want to throw ubuntu on it... any advice? | 23:20 |
| Jordan_U | pfifo: Why do you want an old kernel? | 23:20 |
| lawltoad | its not booting the live environment right now | 23:20 |
| ikonia | escott: I guess it would depend how fast it needs to interact with the screen and take input and respond to that. | 23:21 |
| ikonia | Dantevios: I don't know what it is to start researching it now. | 23:21 |
| pfifo | Jordan_U, for the module at http://eeepc-linux.googlecode.com | 23:21 |
| ikonia | Dantevios: if you think you can do it....go for it. I assure you you'll be dissapointed | 23:21 |

| L3top | what is the version XiaolinDraconis | 23:27 |
| XiaolinDraconis | 18.0.1025.168~r134367-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 | 23:27 |
| XiaolinDraconis | thats what apt-cache tells me | 23:27 |
| L3top | XiaolinDraconis: sudo apt-get install chromium-browser=18.0.1025.168* | 23:28 |

| ubottu | The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) | 23:45 |
