[00:00] kroson: ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa/ubuntu oneiric .. I'm still on 11.10 [00:00] matt_9118, is that module available on repository? [00:01] blackshirt: No, since it has to be compiled. === metzthepest is now known as metasansana [00:02] bekks, is that module support for dkms? [00:02] blackshirt, i'm few days in linux (ubuntu) and it's missing for me [00:02] r007,actually i'm new too in ubuntu [00:02] blackshirt: dkms has nothing to do with it. [00:03] bekks, i think like that too [00:03] Scunizi: you did remove the ppa using ppa-purge right, do you¿ [00:04] r007, I think I remember hearing about a voice control system for linux, something like that may be an alternative [00:04] blackshirt: Take a look here to get an impression for whats that module is used: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/zd1211rw [00:05] pfifo, i want with clapping [00:05] bekks, i think there are some readme/install file contains instructions how to build the module [00:05] 1 clap vol up [00:05] 2 claps vol down [00:05] 3 claps mute [00:07] Hey guys, anyone got experience with printers on ubuntu? [00:07] r007, something like that likely dosent exist yet [00:07] you know about something that work with one clap? [00:07] !ask | Shinypaper [00:07] Shinypaper: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [00:07] shinnypaper, what the printer are you using? [00:07] * jesseFromYVR peddles for AeroFS invite… [00:08] I got a Kodak ESP 1.2 printer here that isn't working. Anyone know how to fix it? [00:09] shinnypaper, i have no experiences with that devices [00:09] Hi, Im having troubles trying to install ubuntu on a new computer. The live cd boots, but after I click anything, it fails. If I use wubi, the installation will hang after I restart from windows. any help would be awesome. [00:10] Jordan_U, would you recommend using 10.04 since I need an older kernel? Or should I compile a mainline kernel? This is for a livecd so I dont expect to do many upgrades or install lots of software. [00:10] It's a JetDirect based network printer, should work as a generic JetDirect deivce but it freezes when sending a page to it. [00:10] doctorly: boot directly to the cd.. don't start it after windows is loaded.. [00:11] pfifo: What will this liveCD be used for? Why is overclocking so important for you? === harsh_bhatt is now known as gunfire007 [00:11] I did, I am talking about two seperate events. wubi, and also a live install, neither have worked. [00:11] so to go back to windows vista? [00:11] doctorly: or.. if you're just checking it out.. load VirtualBox in windows and then install the .iso of the ubuntu cd in a virtual machine. [00:11] Shinypaper: http://sourceforge.net/projects/cupsdriverkodak/ [00:11] pfifo: Also, it's possible that the module will build against a modern kernel. [00:11] doctorly, what the hardware are you using? [00:12] do you want a specific list? [00:12] of everything? [00:12] tomreyn: thanks, I'll check that out. [00:12] one moment [00:12] doctorly, specific list..and more if needed :d [00:13] where's the best place to place an additional $PATH ? /etc/environment, ~/.profile, ~/.bashrc ? [00:13] actually, I already tried this package tom. it adds some devices to the list of printers in cups, but mine isn't listed. I also tried to install it as a similar device but it still freezes during the print process. [00:13] zivester: ~/.profile === gunfire007 is now known as fire_ [00:14] zivester, for specific user, place it on profile [00:14] hey guys I have a question. I am relatively new to ubuntu, and was wondering if I installed a .py program is there a way I can make it to where I type in the program have it execute without being in the directory of where it is? [00:14] Jordan_U, well I use grub2's iso boot on my eeepc to save MASSIVE disk space, I like to customize the lubuntu or xubuntu livecd's to include a few extra things, and since I can easily include overclocking support I want it. My computer's battery only lasts about 10 minutes so power usage is of no concern... Also I tried to build aginst 3.2.0-23-generic but the build fails [00:14] ty jrib and blackshirt [00:14] zivester, for system wide, i think place it on environment [00:15] Demon_Jester , yes, just put the directory it's in in your "path" variable [00:15] how exactly would I do that, miraj? [00:15] Demon_Jester , you could try editing your "bashrc" file [00:16] ok thats the file I kept doing gedit bashcr [00:16] lol [00:16] thanks. [00:16] Shinypaper: how is the printer connected to your PC? usb? wireless? lan? [00:17] heh... ~/.profile already has adding $HOME/bin... I guess I just needed to log back in [00:17] Demon_Jester: where/how did you install it [00:17] zivester: yep [00:17] I made a custom directory in my /programs/file [00:17] tomreyn: wireless. [00:18] well, lan over wireless. [00:18] I just extract it and I was using the command, python file.py to execute it [00:18] Demon_Jester: you can either add that directory to your PATH (edit your ~/.profile and see the example for ~/bin) or create a symlink to that file inside a directory already in your PATH [00:18] jrib: zivester: No. [00:19] bekks: eh? [00:19] zivester: Open a terminal, and all you need to do is to source the ~/.profile again: ". ~/.profile" [00:19] No need for a logout. [00:19] did you get that blackshirt [00:19] bekks: that would only affect the new terminal [00:20] zivester: by the way ~/bin needs to exist for it to be added to your PATH [00:20] jrib: An no existing terminal - and why not just continueing in the new terminal? [00:21] wait a minute [00:21] * pfifo begins counting to 60 [00:21] bekks: this is a possibility sure. Depends on what he wants to do. For example, he may need the PATH to be changed in his gui environment or he may need to open many new terminals and does not want to have to keep sourcing ~/.profile :) [00:24] Shinypaper: have you added the printer to cups already, and if so, what is it called there / detected as? [00:25] tomreyn: It wasn't detected as anything. Installed it as the Kodak ESP 3200 as that was the closest model listed. [00:26] does it say something othert than 1.2 on the device itself? [00:28] oh wow [00:29] why does cp --target-directory=~/Downloads filename give me a "no such file or directory" error? [00:29] the directory does exist.. [00:29] adoniscik , "~" only exists as a cli translation, it's not really there [00:30] I thought so. what's the right way to use tilde? [00:30] $home? [00:30] adoniscik: /home/user/ [00:31] adoniscik: --target-directory="$HOME/Downloads" [00:31] I tried both a live install and a wubi install, but both hung. Any help would be awesome:) [00:31] adoniscik, cp --target-directory=/home/yourusername/Downloads [00:34] I am still having trouble setting it up to where I don't need to be in the directory to execute a .py file [00:34] Demon_Jester: well what did you do? [00:36] good, problem solved. now the next question. I have a list of files generated from a pipe. I wanted to copy them using "long pipe | cp --target-directory=$HOME/Downloads" but the spaces in the file names seems to be causing a problem. What should I do? [00:36] I did quick google search towards bashrc and I did PATH=PATH$:/path/to/my/file.py then underneath it I put export PATH [00:36] Demon_Jester: Thats wrong. [00:36] adoniscik: what are you actually trying to do? i.e. what is the big picture? [00:36] I figured. :/ [00:36] Demon_Jester: PATH=$PATH:/new/path/ [00:36] new path? [00:36] hmm hold on [00:37] Demon_Jester: open ~/.profile, read the example for ~/.bin, and use ~/.profile, not ~/.bashrc [00:37] copy a bunch of files selected for a particular attribute (zero length) to another directory [00:37] Demon_Jester: /the/incredible/long/path/to/your/specific/script/file.py [00:37] adoniscik: how are you selecting the files? [00:37] ls -s ~ | grep '^\s*0\s.*' | sed 's/\s*0 //' [00:37] hi I have dual boot win7 and ubuntu 12.4 I needed to reinstall win 7 (Alt+F10) recovery partition but it just came up with this error :no such partition [00:38] adoniscik: eww [00:38] adoniscik: Take a look at find and the options to select specific files. [00:38] and there is a grub command line [00:38] adoniscik: You will end up in: find ... -exec cp -t $HOME/Downloads/ {} \; [00:38] please help me its makeing me nerves [00:39] okay I'll try and let you know how it goes. [00:39] tomreyn: No, just Kodak ESP 1.2 [00:39] hi I have dual boot win7 and ubuntu 12.4 I needed to reinstall win 7 (Alt+F10) recovery partition but it just came up with this error :no such partition [00:39] jrib: If I opened the right one I am looking at what appears to be an if statement at the bottom of .profile [00:39] thats bin [00:40] please somebody tell me what to do I need my laptop to do my college assignment [00:40] Demon_Jester: yes, replicate that pattern for your new directory [00:40] sam__ , was that a windows error message? [00:41] no such partition miraj [00:41] grub rescue > [00:41] jrib: sorry I am asking so mnay question but what new directory and why? [00:41] and a blinking line [00:41] Shinypaper: you could check for the FCC ID, and look that up on the web. but really, do you rself a favor next time and before you buy new hardware, make sure the manufacturer cares about supporting Linux. [00:41] Demon_Jester: by "new directory", I mean the one with your python file -- the one you want to add to your PATH [00:42] no i dont think its for windows I guess grub is for linux isn't it? [00:42] sam__ , wish I could help, I've only got server 2008 on one of my harddrives. I've quit on windows [00:42] sam__: does ubuntu still boot? [00:42] no [00:42] ok so whats in the bracket I leave alone and underneath where it says PATH="$HOME/bin:$path" is what I change to put the directory of my .py [00:43] or vice versa? [00:43] ok thanks miraj anyway [00:43] tonreyn: usually I do, but I didn't buy this. A friend bought it for his business without doing any research or checking with me. [00:43] sam__: sounds like you have a grub issue.. with that fixed windows will most likely come back up without a reinstall. [00:43] no scunizi ubuntu does not work either [00:43] !grub | sam__ [00:43] sam__: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [00:43] Demon_Jester: you copy the stanza that you see there for "$HOME/bin" and change "$HOME/bin" to whatever it is your new directory is [00:44] *And that buisness is based partially out of my home. [00:44] ok let me go do this real quick and let you know if I did this right. [00:44] so what should i do scunizi [00:44] ? [00:45] I even inserted win 7 recovery cd but didnot boot from there [00:46] Shinypapertry attaching it via usb, too, if you're lucky it's identified as working with a generic driver. [00:46] anybody please hi I have dual boot win7 and ubuntu 12.4 I needed to reinstall win 7 (Alt+F10) recovery partition but it just came up with this error :no such partition [00:47] Shinypaper: you can also inspect the lsusb -vv output then and that might help finding the right PPD [00:47] ok I put it in my profile but how would I execute the .py file as a command or ?? [00:47] tomreyn: okay I'll try this, but it needs to function as a network printer, so each workstation can print invoices for the buisness. [00:47] I realy need my laptop please if you know how i can solve this issue help me [00:47] hi I have dual boot win7 and ubuntu 12.4 I needed to reinstall win 7 (Alt+F10) recovery partition but it just came up with this error :no such partition [00:47] also, I was search for a PPD but couldn't find one, maybe that will help. [00:47] Shinypaper: just for better identification, temporarily. [00:47] sam__: What is "it"? Your Windows? [00:47] Demon_Jester: if you run « source ~/.profile » then ~/.profile will be read and your PATH should be updated for the shell you are in [00:47] sam__ , scunizi sent you this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub [00:47] kk [00:48] let me try that real quick. [00:48] its win7 with a dual boot [00:48] with ubuntu [00:48] Shinypaper: the driver i pointed you (tar.gz) has a bunch of PPDs in a subdirectory, if you're lucky one of them will work. i know you tried several already, but maybe not the right one. [00:48] jrib: After sourcing, you dont need to execute the .profile, since it isnt even executable by default. [00:49] but ubuntu does not start working [00:49] sam__ , scunizi sent you this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub [00:50] its just a black page with these words [00:51] ok I think i got it now . i will try it now with my live usb [00:51] thanks miraj and scunizi [00:51] hmm I think i updated it and when I go to type file.py it doesnt execute or how should I be doing it? ./file.py? [00:52] Demon_Jester: pastebin your ~/.profile [00:52] tomreyn: Okay, thanks. Just had to move the printer to the computer. I'm trying that USB command now. [00:54] Demon_Jester , is the .py file set with it's "execute" bit on? [00:54] Demon_Jester: if you are in the directory which the file exists in, yes, you will have to execute by defining the dir as ./ (here) [00:54] im not sure do I need to use chmod on it? like I said I would have to go into the directory and type "python testfile.py" for it to execute [00:55] also pastebin.com/EfqqQFws [00:55] tonreyn: output of the command is here ---> http://pastebin.com/LdTDqyXc [00:55] Demon_Jester, if you use "ls -l" it will tell if it is set as executable by including an "x" [00:55] also http://www.pastebin.com/EfqqQFws [00:55] errr [00:55] If you want it executable, as miraj eluded to, you will need to set chmod +x /path/to/file.py [00:56] also http://www.pastebin.com/EfqgQFws [00:56] sorry there is the correct link [00:57] I couldn't find a way to do what I want with find because I want take the uncorrupted files from another directory. could someone show me how to use find to find empty files in another directory and replace them from another? [00:57] adoniscik: did you get find to list the files you wanted first? [00:58] Demon_Jester: change the "~" to "$HOME" [00:58] yes but I can't get find to omit the path [00:58] ah ok [00:58] hold up [00:58] like so: find folder -size 0 -type f [00:58] Demon_Jester: you also need to make sure the file is executable as others said [00:58] adoniscik: now what's the issue? [00:59] I used the chmod command on it [00:59] +x is to make it executable correct? [00:59] this generates a list of files all right, but I only want the bare names without the path, so I can replace them with non-empty versions [00:59] these are basically files that are corrupt [00:59] that's why I thought I needed a pipe [00:59] adoniscik: use basename though there might me some find option to do it as well [01:00] #math [01:00] Demon_Jester, yeds "+x" means add the executable bit [01:01] yes i found that out myself lol [01:01] adoniscik: see the various possibilities -printf in find's man page if you don't want to use basename [01:01] still not working, i go to type just "testfile.py" and says unknown command [01:01] my previous pipe already extract the base names, but I couldn't feed it to cp [01:01] are you navigating to the actual file Demon_Jester? [01:01] Demon_Jester: did you do « source ~/.profile » again? [01:01] oh [01:01] right [01:01] hold up [01:01] Shinypaper: when you access the cups web interface and start a search, is anything detected? [01:02] miraj [01:02] still there? [01:02] Shinypaper: that's now that it's connected to your computer via USB [01:02] Demon_Jester, there is a workaround, create a shell script in your $HOME/bin directory, which has one command in it "python /directory/program.py" [01:03] Shinypaper: If not so, then try the following PPDs form the c2esp26.tar.gz archive available on sourceforge: Kodak_ESP_3, Kodak_ESP_32xx_Series, Kodak_Hero_3.1 [01:03] i updated the profile and still no working, I will give the shell script a try [01:03] sam__ , yes? [01:03] tomreyn: yes, it detects the printer correctly (kodak esp 1.2) but then prompts me to choose from a list, and there isn't any such device there. the same happens over the network. [01:03] I'll try that ppd now, === chamunks is now known as AFKMunks [01:04] I tried to do what that link said but It does't boot from my liveusb [01:04] Shinypaper: so try those three PPDs now [01:04] sam__ , didn't it boot from that when you installed ubuntu? [01:04] Demon_Jester: pastebin (1) contents of ~/.profile, (2) output of « echo $PATH », and (3) your attempt at executing the python file with output [01:05] I installed ubuntu from same liveusb [01:05] sam__ , then it should boot it now? unless something has changed [01:06] like what? [01:06] sam__ , bios settings? IDK [01:06] boot from usb is set [01:07] sam__ , what does it say when you try to boot the liveusb? [01:07] it does't make any difference it the same page partition does not exist [01:08] and grub rescue [01:09] sam__ , something is pretty wrong if the liveusb won't boot [01:09] oh this time worked [01:09] thanks again [01:09] holas [01:09] I tried 3 times it didn't work but now:) [01:09] sam__ , my system is pretty undependable about booting any usb at all [01:10] sam__: Just to get things straight: You installed ubuntu besides windows, You could access both!? Then it stopped working, and You end up with the grub prompt. [01:10] hmm what does it mean [01:10] ? [01:10] anyone running LoL? [01:11] no iCarly I had ubuntu and win7 in dual boot I needed to reinstall win7 and it crashed with that error [01:12] iCarly and it seems i can solve the problem with this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub [01:12] sam__: Ah, cool :-) [01:13] sam__: It probably says something like "sudo update-grub" and the like... [01:14] hmm im on this page right no try ubuntu or install ubuntu there isn't any repaire option where is it? [01:14] tomreyn: seems to be working with the hero 3.1 PPD over the network. thanks :D [01:15] Hi, any other way to unzip a file other than using unzip? I have some archives which unzip fine in Windows but I get some errors in Ubuntu. Any idea? [01:16] iiulian, i think file -roller will handle correctly [01:16] iiulian, depends on the error i imagine. [01:16] that was archive manager [01:16] Here is the errors: FactBackordersCorrections.csv: mismatching "local" filename (DimGeography.csv), [01:16] continuing with "central" filename version [01:16] inflating: FactBackordersCorrections.csv [01:16] file #2: bad zipfile offset (local header sig): 9016 [01:16] file #3: bad zipfile offset (local header sig): 101347 [01:16] iiulian: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:16] iiulian, ive used winzip and winrar with wine on windows for some archives that had silly options or other obscure flags/passwords [01:17] sam__: I don't know, but my guess would be to run "sudo update-grub" in a terminal and watch the output carefully. If the output is okay (i.e. a windows system was recognized) I'd do a "sudo grub-install /dev/sda (If that's Your harddisk). [01:17] Sorry for the flood! [01:17] does anyone know of a gui app that can search the content of pdf files? [01:18] freakman: evince [01:19] blackshirt, it looks like File Roller is just a GUI for several utilities [01:20] iiulian, you're right... Thats support some archive format [01:21] Hi! [01:21] iCarly: i need to search the content of multiple pdf files kind of like google desktop search [01:21] is there a difference between making swap partition as logical or primary? [01:21] should've been more clear [01:22] freakman: Ah, okay, that wasn't quite clear :-) [01:22] Also, is there a speed difference when linux reaches data on ext4 and ntfs? [01:22] ElixirVitae , ext4 is faster than the linux ntfs driver [01:23] elixirvitae, i think yes... Ext4 more and better on linux [01:23] Ntfs was for windows [01:24] Gracie, now I need partition whole unallocated area as ext4 [01:24] sam__: Any success??? [01:25] nope that one did not work and the web page i sent you does not work either [01:25] elixirvitae, exactly yes,if you use it on linux.... Windows was useless when access to ext4 [01:25] OH NO [01:25] sudo grub-install /dev/XXX [01:26] sam__: What didn't work precisely? [01:26] says cannot find a device for/boot/grub is deve mounted? [01:26] this command didn't work sudo grub-install /dev/XXX [01:26] says cannot find a device for/boot/grub is deve mounted? [01:27] ubuntu 12.04 [01:27] SHIT [01:27] sam__: What exactely did You enter? Surely not "/dev/XXX"... [01:27] administrator_, keep a polite guys... [01:27] these adjectives make it much easier for me to help you administrator_. [01:28] s/adjectives/explitives/ [01:28] I'M JAPANESE [01:28] lolly lolly lolly - get your adverbs here.... [01:28] s/explitives/expletives/ === AndChat|370944 is now known as Dr_Willis__ [01:29] sudo grub-install /dev/XXX is the exact command i typed what do you mean iCarly [01:29] Congratulations. Do you have an issue or just a terrible English instructor? [01:29] XXX is a 'example' [01:29] administrator_, actually that is not problem where do you come from.. This is internet world === Guest87677 is now known as hfic [01:30] the place where translators dont get paid 200 an hour [01:30] sam__: The XXX is a placeholder for Your actual 1st harddrive which is very likely "sda". [01:30] em I don't how can i make sure ? [01:31] :) [01:31] sam__: Yes, hehe, sure... moment.... [01:31] you mean my ubuntu harddrive or windows? [01:32] I had 3 of them i guess when i installed ubuntu [01:32] ubunutu and windows are operating systems. [01:32] sam__: How many hard drives does this computer have? [01:32] sam__: Any. Grub will be written to the MBR of the harddrive. [01:32] hfic, yes. no need for the commentary. [01:33] bazhang: excuse me? [01:33] sam__: "sudo fdisk -l", and tell me the very first entry. [01:33] one 640 gb hdd [01:33] hfic, no need for the commentary. it just adds noise to a busy channel. [01:33] but 3 partition and one recovery [01:34] ok i will enter it right now [01:34] bazhang: I'm not sure what commentary your talking about. But I suggest re-reading and learning what your talking about [01:35] first one is sda1 which is hidden ntfs win re [01:35] but the extended oone is sda4 [01:35] sam__: you'd never install grub to sda1...only sda without the number. [01:35] hfic: What bazhang is talking about is that clearly sam__ is not 100% sure of what they are doing, you can gauge this from the responses. Although your comment was correct it was not helpful. [01:35] ok [01:36] Those would be partitions, not hard drives sam__... for the record. [01:36] sam__: so if all your partitions are sda1, sda2, sda3 (and no sdb or sdc drives) then you'd replace the XXX with just "sda" no quotes [01:37] In hfic's defense, I believe he was attempting to elucidate the circumstance for the user, not create chatter... regardless of the efficacy of that attempt. [01:37] sam__: Okay, fine. Those are the partitions on sda, the first (and only) harddrive. Into the MBR, the very first section of this harddrive, where the harddrive is told that it is a harddrive and what's on it Grub will be written via "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" [01:37] IdleOne . I did n;t understand what you mean which comment where .I commented on sth? [01:38] is this the command I need iCarly [01:38] sudo grub-install /dev/sda [01:38] sam__: yes. [01:38] yes sam__. [01:39] sam__: I'd say yes. Any comments??? [01:40] the first time i messed up a grub install (actually i only thought i messed it up) i finally ditched windows and said who needs it anyway [01:40] could not find device for /boot: NOt found or not a block device [01:40] 1 [01:41] that the answer iCarly [01:41] sam__: Ooops [01:41] :) [01:41] sam__, In that link you posted for reinstalling grub to the mbr is the bootrepair tool, that tool will generate a bootscript that would probably be our best way of helping you. [01:42] If you have not gotten grub to the mbr [01:44] wilee-nilee: But... but... how could grub possibly be not installed to the MBR??? Said command always worked in my 15 years of linux experience... :-D [01:44] sam__: just curious, but why didn't ubuntu install grub for you? [01:45] ive seen 'bios av protection' block grub befor [01:45] ok i m downloading that one but if there is some other way tell me to repair my grub beside boot repair tell me [01:45] dewnix: It did but sam reinstalled win...something. [01:45] boot-repair works very well for me [01:45] iCarly: ahhh [01:45] iCarly, If run from a chroot or the alternative or within the desktop yes, from a live cd no chroot no. [01:46] no sudo of course in a chroot [01:46] sam__: Are You in a live system now??? [01:46] ok what was the application for making a bootable usb in ubuntu? [01:46] sam__: unetbootin? [01:46] Im in try ubuntu from live usb [01:47] what do you mean unetbootin? [01:47] sam__: dd? [01:47] * iCarly slaps her forehead [01:47] usb disk creator [01:48] Evening y'all. Anyone mind taking a look here and proposing a resolution? http://pastebin.com/fgXUr0XK [01:48] sam__: *buntu distros have what is called the "Startup Disk Creator" however unetbootin takes a slightly different approach to achieve the same thing, and tends to be a bit more universal, when appropriate. [01:48] pendrivelinux website has dozens of alternatives to unetbootin [01:49] sam /usr/bin/usb-creator-gtk [01:49] KAsp3rd: you will likely get a better response by giving an overview of the problem. I personally don't go chasing problems across links. [01:49] oh but its not installed in on my ubuntu [01:49] L3top: issue comipling kernel [01:49] Startup Disk Creator is [01:49] What kernel? [01:49] WARNING: drivers/staging/ipack/bridges/tpci200.o(.data+0x18): Section mismatch in reference from the variable tpci200_pci_drv to the variable .devinit.rodata:tpci200_idtable [01:49] L3top: 3.6-rc6 [01:50] That is not supported here I am afraid KAsp3rd [01:50] Try ##linux [01:50] thanks [01:50] np. [01:50] sam__: Sorry, I thought You somehow managed to get Your ubuntu on the harddrive booted. From a Live-CD the grub-install won't work, of course. My fault. [01:51] oh ok no prob :) [01:51] Would it make sense, if someone would explain the chrooting thingy to sam__??? [01:52] Hey can someone help me? VMware Player problems. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12253260#post12253260 [01:52] yes iCarly. you can absolutely install grub via live disk when chrooting [01:52] iCarly lol [01:53] I thought so, yes. But, guys, it's 4 am here... ;-) [01:53] is it normal that usr/bin/python uses too much internet [01:53] Salman: not entirely helpful but... my favorite solution to vmware problems is virtualbox [01:53] or does it mean some other programs are utilizing it [01:53] pepperjack: i need win98 so i can't use that [01:54] elixirvitae, you should look more detail [01:54] do i need to format my usb befor making a a bootrepair on it ? does it erase my usb date? [01:54] well, I am using nethogs, this is as much detail as I can get [01:54] Salman: you need ... what?! [01:54] I suppose it is deja dup that is using u/l [01:55] tomreyn: Windows 98 [01:55] L3top, You want to help sam__ with a chroot, I was going to post a wiki link to chrooting but is has a nice code string for mounting rather then the old scool mounting, I do not want to confuse the user. [01:55] though I am curious as to why it says usr/bin/python in program name [01:55] it* [01:55] Salman: http://ved-antani.com/2011/10/vmplayer-not-compiling-for-latest-linux-kernel/ solution? [01:56] sam__: Wait. Maybe a nice guy from this chat could go with You through the chroot thingy, an alternative way of repairing grub while You're in Your Live system... [01:56] Salman: do you grow dinausaurs in front garden, too? [01:56] *dinosaurs [01:56] tomreyn: not in the mood for trolling [01:56] ok i realy appriciate it because i don't like to make another live usb [01:56] sure wilee-nilee. sam__ we are dealing with sda, I gathered. What partition is the install on? [01:57] L3top, cool. ;) [01:57] L3top, wilee-nilee? Take over! [01:57] sda4 is extended partition for me [01:57] so i guess ubuntu is installed there [01:58] Salman: i'm just wondering what you need it for. and besides, it should (haven't tried) work fine on virtualbox, either directly, or by means of running the application you needs there in compatibility mode on a supported version of this OS. [01:58] tomreyn: vbox doesn't natively support win98 so i will be stuck with a slow peice of junk [01:59] L3top sda4 is extended so i guess ubuntu is installed there [01:59] sam__: from live disk can you please give me a pastebin of: sudo fdisk -l from the live disk please? [01:59] iCarly, It seems L3top has it under control, yours was an easy mistake, I have done it a many of times, it can be difficult to get all the info, and people start to pile on helping. ;) [02:00] ok i dont know what is pastebin?

I installed VLC Media Player and now everthing I try to download is being placed on VLc's playlist and not being downloaded? Also, all of my (and friends) USB pendrives and external hard drives that are also USB are Read Only????? I am running Utuntu 12.04 and can't seem to find any way to rix/repair either???? [02:11] maheannu: Downloaded which way? Via Firefox? [02:11] maheanuu: cat /proc/mounts | head -1 | grep 'rw' [02:11] does that produce output? [02:11] actually... just paste the output of cat /proc/mounts | head -1 [02:14] I know this isnt quite an ubuntu question, but Im running mint and trying to update from 12 to 13 and reciving errors. here is my sources.list and messages I recieve: https://gist.github.com/3764864 [02:15] sorry L3top but that link didn't work i just uploaded to my mediafire [02:15] hey everyone I have a SIL3132 eSATA card in my ubuntu box.

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [02:17] * THE_GFR|WORK looks right at L3top directly and glares [02:17] glary is your friend [02:18] sam__: it doesnt like my browser and I am not switching. pastebin.com works. pastie.org works. pastebin.ca works... there are a lot of options. [02:18] sam__: Yup, ubuntu is on sda4 [02:18] L3top, Do I enter it like it is? [02:19] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1219767/plain/ [02:19] L3top: sda1-3 NTFS, sda4 linux, sda5 swap. That's it. [02:19] it didn;t work i don't know why [02:19] THE_GFR|WORK: I am helping several people at the moment. Bugging that an entire 30 seconds had gone by and your issue was not addressed does not really rank highly in my entitlement barrel. Stare all you like. [02:19] thank you iCarly.

[02:21] sam___, Did you install ubuntu from windows? [02:22] sam__: sudo apt-get install pastebinit sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit [02:22] nope an independent ubuntu dual boot [02:22] Good q wilee-nilee... sam__ was this a wubi install [02:22] ok. [02:22] sam__, cool follopw L3top I just happened to look at the channel. [02:22] follow* [02:23] em no i made a live usb and its not installed on windows its on different partion and windows can not uninstall ubuntu [02:23] L3top: http://nopaste.info/4f77303e04.html [02:24] ok sam__... lets assume that sda4 is correct. If it isn't, it will just fail. mount /dev/sda4 /mnt [02:24] that is odd. I do not expect that to work in that case. [02:25] sorry sam... you will need to prepend that with sudo... so sudo mount /dev/sda4 /mnt [02:25] Me neither. There is NOTHING between begin of the extended partition and swap. [02:26] sudo added but failed to mount invalid argument [02:26] The device '/dev/sda4' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS. [02:26] ce '/dev/sda4' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS. Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around? [02:27] It will not be NTFS... unless... you have done something very screwy. Let's back up a minute... [02:29] What are the chances you installed linux on an NTFS partition? [02:29] /dev/sda3 I would guess. [02:29] cmon i didn't scew my laptop i just tried to reinstall my windows . I have done this 100 times before (without having ubuntu though) [02:29] these commands wont erase my recovery partition right? [02:29] is it possible to combine the printf and exec parameters of find? [02:30] sam__: its not likely hosed, as such... just... very badly setup to begin with. [02:30] L3top, sam__: There seemes to be unused space between the beginning of the extended partition (1040547838) and the swap partition herein (1238355968). Am I right? [02:30] sam__: sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt === lux_ is now known as Guest63072 [02:31] does ls /mnt | grep 'bin' return a result [02:31] i have 6 gb swap icarly [02:32] em L3top what is my new command please [02:32] ? [02:32] sam__: sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt [02:32] once that is done, ls /mnt | grep 'bin' [02:33] sam__: Yes, I see. It just looks like there's nothing which could use it, i.e. no ubuntu... :-| [02:34] anyone know where i can find the xfce icon thats on the start menu? [02:34] so you mounted /dev/sda3 sam__? [02:34] what does ls /mnt look like? Windowsy? [02:35] same error [02:35] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1219785/plain/ [02:36] L3top: Does a Live CD like NTFS? [02:36] /dev/sda3 31664128 1040545791 504440832 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT that should not complain.... and this only assumes that you have installed linux on ntfs... [02:36] iCarly: It will mount it no problem... unless it is corrupt... and it doesnt fix ntfs very well... [02:36] L3top: Okay, thanks :-) [02:37] L3top and iCarly http://nopaste.info/0c5410ba8c.html [02:38] that is a very different error [02:38] L3top, sam__: My theory is that there is no ubuntu existent on Your harddrive. At least not anymore. Sadly. [02:38] pastebin the output of mount [02:38] oh i didn't notice [02:38] oh so my files are gone too or just systems files [02:39] Lemme see mount first [02:39] hey, anyone here have issues with their wireless never connecting at all with the ath9k drivers? I use the DWA-552 Xtreme PCI adapter :/ [02:40] I type in the password correctly but it never lets me connect [02:41] L3top oh so my files are gone too or just systems files [02:41] sam__: You installed ubuntu in just one partition, I guess (/)? [02:42] sam___: I dont know that anything is gone. [02:42] sam___, can you do fdisk -l ? (btw maybe dbus already has it mounted) [02:42] i used this symbol / somewhere although i didn't know what it means [02:42] sam___: You may have just clicked on the drive in nautilus or something and it is already mounted [02:43] sam___, you shouldnt be toying with console, if you havent studied the basics [02:43] and you just (very wrongly) installed linux on an ntfs drive [02:43] I need the output of mount [02:43] sam___, "/" means at the first node of the harddrive [02:43] sam___, filesytem [02:43] jagginess: sam___'s partitions: http://nopaste.info/4f77303e04.html [02:44] sam___: give me the output of: mount [02:44] sam___: please [02:45] ok wait [02:45] just a minut [02:45] sam___, you should get help from someone near ya.. [02:45] well it was in installation guide [02:45] sam___, you're really too new to be doing things in console, you dont' even know what "/" means.. (this is a path separator and starting point for any running Linux filesystem) [02:46] jagginess!? [02:46] sam___, you're welcome to ask starting beginner's help on #linux.. or try to stick for desktop for the time being.. because it sounds like you havent even backed up your data [02:47] " i used this symbol / somewhere although i didn't know what it means" [02:47] m which mount l3top [02:47] I m searching for a command in chat lines nothing found [02:47] <[2]red> can anyone send me or tell me where i can find an original interfaces file I was messing around with network settings and now not working and want to go back [02:48] <[2]red> I should have saved the original but didnt [02:48] sam___: I want the output OF mount. If you are in the live disk, and type mount, it should produce output. I want that in a pastebin. [02:48] sam___, you should check out linux under vmware or virtual box on top of windows.. that way you cant destroy any existing windows data-- when you're well acquainted with linux after sometime, then maybe you'd like to try a native install of it [02:48] there is a way to set proxychains+tor to work with xchat? === forkb0mb is now known as sixdahs [02:49] ahoy [02:49] sam___: L3top meant the output of "mount" in Your terminal/console [02:49] http://nopaste.info/614ce784f4.html [02:49] [2]red, the default is networkmanager over ifdownup script.. however it's possible to setup networkmanager to allow ifdownup to customize interfaces [02:50] ok thanks [02:50] sam___: Okay :-) [02:50] [2]red, the traditional interfaces file is called by ifdownup scripts [02:50] sam___: umount -lf /dev/sda3 [02:51] sam___: mount /dev/sda3 /mnt [02:51] ls /mnt | grep "bin" [02:51] crud [02:51] <[2]red> i edited the interfaces file [02:52] no result [02:52] sam___: sudo umount -lf /dev/sda3 [02:52] http://nopaste.info/b6041ed783.html [02:52] sam___: sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mt [02:52] i already did sudo [02:52] ok [02:52] ls /mnt does it look windowsy? [02:53] fuse: failed to access mountpoint /mt: No such file or directory [02:53] sam___: "umount" command doesn't give a feedback, means: okay :-) [02:53] sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt [02:53] oh :) ok [02:53] ls /mnt [02:53] sam___, you're too at this stuff.. what's your objective for mounting ntfs filesystems if you only have a linux swap partition on your drive? [02:53] do you see /bin ? [02:53] <[2]red> jagginess I am missing the bit before iface eth0 inet dhcp [02:54] <[2]red> jagginess, I am missing the bit before iface eth0 inet dhcp [02:54] [2]red, read what i first told you. [02:54] iCarly __ where do you guys learn these things??!!! [02:54] sam___, wikipedia [02:54] How? [02:54] sam___, google "linux site:wikipedia.org" [02:54] sam___: Years of trial and error ;-) [02:54] jagginess: It appears as though he originally installed ubuntu on an ntfs partition, he then ran fixmbr or something crushing grub... we are just trying to find his install so as to reinstall/update grub2 [02:55] anyone know what provides the binary "tip" in ubuntu for serial connections? [02:55] L3top, there's no linux partitions listed of type 83.. only a swap, and the rest ntfs [02:55] so thats what i m doing. :) perhaps 2 or 3 year later. [02:55] We know! [02:55] jagginess: It appears as though he originally installed ubuntu on an ntfs partition [02:56] ah, [02:56] L3top, you mean he's using wubi? [02:56] mm l3top Im quite sure that i installed it in ex4 [02:56] Hard to tell... not getting a lot of feedback. It is my best guess. [02:56] "We know!" was meant for jagginess... [02:56] sam___, what "ubuntu" installer did you run? wubi? [02:56] sam___: if that is the case... then it is definitely gone. [02:56] L3top, if what's the case? [02:57] If he installed on ext4 [02:57] cause he doesn't have one. [02:57] L3top, no.. i'm asking if he used wubi.. that would be a loopback file on ntfs [02:57] He did not jagginess. [02:57] L3top, and by default it's ext3 within the loopback.. [02:57] i made that partion why should i install in ntfs linux partion is ext4 is't it . ex4 is recomended [02:57] i guess [02:57] i mean /ext4/ext3/ within the loopback [02:57] The case of the lonely swap partition... [02:58] L3top, you sure he's not using wubi? [02:58] sam___, if you show me your download link of ubuntu, then i can tell if it's wubi.. [02:58] i have a wubi file in my live usb but my ubuntu is completely independent [02:58] sam [02:58] ok.. i guess he installed it from his usb drive [02:58] Does wubi create an independent swap partion, jagginess? [02:58] (or if he did install at one point) [02:59] *partition [02:59] http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop [03:00] sam___, when you installed ubuntu, did you choose the 'Windows installer'? i'm guessing maybe yes or no.. so far it doesnt sound clear.. [03:00] yah, is sam___ used the desktop burn and did not specify dual boot on install, his windows is gone [03:00] I can not uninstall ubuntu from windows jagginess [03:00] WIRELESS [03:00] i have a terrible time installing wireles on my laptop [03:00] * jagginess feels helpless [03:01] You don't uninstall ubuntu... or windows for that matter. [03:01] sam___, Are you on the live ubuntu cd? [03:01] You can break them any number of ways [03:01] sam___, you need help. Try out vmware/virtual box on windows.. forget trying to install linux natively for the time being.. [03:01] live ubuntu usb [03:01] the best way to break windows being use :P [03:02] sam___, Take a screen shot of gparted and there is a place to post it called imagebin [03:02] !imagebin [03:02] Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. [03:02] hmm so my recovery partion is gone too ? [03:02] yo [03:02] * jagginess considers sam___ trolling at this point.. no progress at all whatsoever.. [03:02] wut up fellows [03:02] image from where wilee nilee? [03:03] i'm tying to install compat-wireless to fix my wifi drivers and when I do make i get this http://pastebin.com/ffKHfMfj can anyone tell me what this means? [03:03] if you're not using unity, what env's do you need to change to ensure that unity-supporting applications don't try a unity menubar? [03:04] sam___, IF this helps the others you would take a screen shot which is in the menu, or using the prtsc key of the gparted partitioner in ubuntu then post that image to image bin. [03:04] and i cannot boot from hard drive to reinstall windows why?????????????????? [03:04] You do not have a linux or working windows install [03:04] it would appear [03:05] ive seen recovery partitions needed to be made bootable or other tweaks to get them to actually boot. [03:07] Could anyone help me with this problem? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1219814/ <--- i dropped the problem into pastebin from ubuntu. and also i've gotten the issue with needing to replace my sources.list with a new sources.list for ubuntu 12.04 LTS Desktop 64 bit.

[03:13] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1219814/ [03:13] its all pasted right into the pastebin that ubuntu supplies! [03:13] Dr0p3D: be patient. and don't insult people. [03:13] sam___: There seems to be no functional ubuntu on Your harddrive, sorry. Just windows, hopefully functional. But grub is still in the mbr... [03:14] mneptok, not insulting people they asked for an overview and i've given that overview [03:14] hashem, you should be using the latest of things, X11 and kernel.. the X11 by default understands the 'intel' driver [03:14] http://www.opentracker.net//? [03:14] to not want to click on the specific url is a lame reason. [03:14] which is some sort of way to show an overview... [03:14] that not a torrent server [03:14] win does not work and i cant install it again installation page does not pop up anymore [03:14] :( [03:15] jagginess, I'm on 12.04, all up to date. It outputs to the TV, but it just cuts 20px from all the edges [03:15] http://pastebin.com/PZrg0AvZ [03:15] sam___, simply put. backup your data and reinstall from scratch. you've been complaining for so long your windows doesn't work. we get it. time to do something more constructive.. [03:15] hillshum im attempting to take an ubuntu server installation and turn it into a bootable ISO, i use mkisofs with isolinux, the iso builds but on boot the kernel stops at "rootfs image is not initramfs (no cpio magic)" any ideas what causes this (i think its a kernel issue as isolinux has attempted to bootstrap off to the kernel at this point) [03:15] Dr0p3D: people drop a lot of links with miles of text. I do not need to explain myself to you. You are combative with people who would be happy to help you... so be it... as I said... Im done. [03:15] ramprasadgk, i dont know if you want to use pastebin my lord these people here really compalain about hitting links. [03:15] exactly Dr0p3D. They drop links all day long. You chase em down. [03:16] anyone know how to fix grub2? [03:16] hmm [03:16] torrent server anyone i like torrentflux but as far as i can see the project is dead [03:16] hashem, that doesnt sound good.. is it just the font that appears too large or does it include desktop space? [03:16] jagg your sentence is really bugging me. [03:16] patebin is pretty neat [03:16] L3top, then dont worry about it let someone else click the link let someone else try to help you refuse to hit one url and see a one paragraph page of text to show you my problem out front instead of me telling you in two words what my issue is which i have allready done a million times. [03:16] !ops sam___ trolling [03:16] jagginess: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:16] keep in mind no gui this is on ubuntu server [03:16] again Sources.List is my main issue [03:16] I have certain skills in certain areas. I am not reading them all to figure out if I can help you. Just give a brief synopsis of the problem... and if it is something I am good at... i will click the link. I don't owe you anything. [03:16] period [03:16] i've said that a trillion times in here. [03:16] http://pastebin.com/PZrg0AvZ [03:17] Erealz, there's two parts... a tracker, and an index site. Open Tracker solves the Tracker part... unless you'll use magnet links. The index part, I have no clue. [03:17] ubuntu doesn't notice my USB 1TB HD [03:17] sources.list sources.list <--- hello! how many more times do i have to give you a small overview and here is its output!!! http://paste.ubuntu.com/1219814/ [03:17] !patience > Dr0p3D [03:17] Dr0p3D, please see my private message [03:18] looking for allin one [03:18] again torrent flux looks good but the project is dead [03:18] Dr0p3D: your monologue has become tiresome. ask every 10 minutes or so, include the URL and see who answers. stop repeating every 30 seconds. [03:18] I already explained Dr0p3D. You are unpleasant and I have no impetus to help you. I no longer care what your issue is. This discussion serves only to prevent others blindly dropping links from following in your footsteps. As I said... good luck. [03:18] L3top: let it go. [03:18] Dr0p3D: stop repeating please. It's helpful to describe your issue succinctly and then include the link at the end. That way people that have no idea about certain areas don't have to go chase down links to discover they can't help. Something like "I'm receiving apt-get errors, here they are: ..." would be great. Now let's all get back to support please :) [03:18] ubuntu doesn't notice my USB 1TB HD [03:19] sorry mneptok. As I said... I have a sinus infection. It is making me irritable. You are correct. [03:19] Greetings! [03:19] Dr0p3D: i appreciate being asked before getting PMs [03:19] DarkAceLaptop, maybe it's not ubuntu.. but so many things can cause this [03:19] Dr0p3D, where's your actual sources.list file? [03:20] jagginess, well Windows doesn't see it either [03:20] rfleming /etc/apt/sources.list [03:20] RFleming: duh! [03:20] DarkAceLaptop: I would check your bios settings... SATA mode specifically. [03:20] DarkAceLaptop, maybe it's defected ? .. did you try to change the cable, did the usb box come with the drive? [03:21] * RFleming *facepalm* [03:21] L3top, it's a usb drive [03:21] sorry... missed that... [03:22] jagginess, I'll try that, might take me a bit to find another cable [03:22] DarkAceLaptop, if you bought the drive separately from the usbbox.. you have to make sure the usbbox can support that drive.. [03:22] USB3 or something, the cable looks different [03:22] RFleming, .... i replied to you with /etc/apt/sources.list [03:22] Dr0p3D, Did you paste your sources.list file? Can we see that? [03:22] Dr0p3D: you should pastebin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list as well as /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* [03:22] DarkAceLaptop, the box is usb3? so the computer usb port should be usb3 too [03:22] ok, going to see if I fixed grub. [03:23] i sure can but i will also paste you another link to a pastebin that shows the direct problem now. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1219814/ [03:23] usbbox? [03:23] let me grab you a copy of my other stuf jrib and rfleming that your asking for. [03:23] DarkAceLaptop, if either usb port (box or computer), is actually usb2.. you'll have to see if the usbbox does usb2 [03:23] DarkAceLaptop, .. [03:24] DarkAceLaptop, so far you never answered my question.. did you buy the drive separately from the usb box? [03:24] (sounds like you probably didnt) [03:24] DarkAceLaptop, as i said it can be many things.. some usb kits don't come with a drive. [03:25] I don't know, it's not my drive [03:25] I'm trying to fix it for my sister who already went to bed [03:26] DarkAceLaptop, sounds like she dropped it :) [03:26] DarkAceLaptop, clunked!! [03:27] probably :P [03:28] DarkAceLaptop, if you break the heads of the drive, there are restoring services that charge a couple hundred dollars -- it's not impossible, just $$ expensive.. (hence why i use raid and networking only) [03:28] jrib, here is what your requesting.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1219832/ [03:28] both lists.. [03:28] Nope [03:28] RFleming, .... http://paste.ubuntu.com/1219832/ here is what you and jrib requested [03:29] jagginess, no problem, she said it was nothing too important on it [03:29] which is probably why she let me try to fix it :p [03:29] DarkAceLaptop, 1 tb is heck of alot you can store on it :) [03:29] Dr0p3D: well you didn't paste the contents of the files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ but you should start by removing the duplicates of medibuntu (you have medibuntu already in /etc/apt/sources.list and you seem to have it again in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list) [03:31] DarkAceLaptop, just by chance.. it's just possible, the usb box electronics is bad, but not the harddrive inside itself.. [03:31] DarkAceLaptop, you'd probably like to look at this possiblity [03:31] * RFleming wishes he didn't have to manually enter in grub2 kernel and initrd settings every single time he boots. [03:32] I'm starting to memorize my root's UUID! :( [03:32] jagginess, well the light hasn't turned on since I got it [03:32] * jrib wonders why RFleming would want to do such a thing [03:32] DarkAceLaptop, doesnt mean the drive inside is bad.. These usb boxes are often contain pluggable sata drives [03:32] jrib, I don't! :) [03:32] what does it mean when a kernel has "pae" after it? [03:32] ok i got a whole new issue now that you've successfully picked my eye about what was wrong... RFleming [03:32] ok now thats fixed no problems with sources.list [03:32] but now i have smaller issues.. [03:33] dependencies on ubuntu-tweak [03:33] Dr0p3D, install them [03:33] RFleming: are you fixing it or do you need help? [03:33] jrib, help would be nice about now. :) [03:34] python-lxml python-compizconfig gir1.2-unique-3.0 [03:34] all three of those say they are unable to be installed [03:34] Dr0p3D: run « sudo apt-get update » and then pastebin output of « ubuntu-tweak python-lxml python-compizconfig gir1.2-unique-3.0 » [03:34] after requesting to install ubuntu-tweak [03:34] Dr0p3D: run « sudo apt-get update » and then pastebin output of « apt-cache policy ubuntu-tweak python-lxml python-compizconfig gir1.2-unique-3.0 » [03:35] RFleming: do you just need to edit grub's settings for some reason? [03:35] Dr0p3D, you try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure ? [03:35] Hi. I am using Ubuntu 12.04LTS, a Nvidia graphics driver and an external monitor connected via hdmi. My problem is that the screen often turns off even during activity (ie.moving the mouse or typing). Does anyone know why this is happening? === atrius is now known as atrius_away [03:35] jrib, first off, it's grub2... so the config makes no sense to me. I installed boot-repair and it says everything is fine.

[03:36] Dr0p3D: this isn't what I want [03:36] and the other sudo apt-get install ubuntu-tweak [03:36] you want to see the output of the sudo apt-get update? [03:36] Dr0p3D, you try apt-get dist-upgrade? [03:37] Dr0p3D: run « sudo apt-get update » and then pastebin output of « apt-cache policy ubuntu-tweak python-lxml python-compizconfig gir1.2-unique-3.0 » [03:37] RFleming: have you run « sudo update-grub »? Why did the uuid's change? [03:38] jrib, a bajillion times :) [03:38] RFleming, i should run the apt-get dist-upgrade? [03:38] shows my 2 kernels, says it's done. [03:38] RFleming: since rebooting? [03:38] Dr0p3D, what jrib said [03:38] before what he is talking about [03:38] ok i was confused.. [03:38] sorry [03:38] hello [03:38] jrib, yes. I can successfully boot into Ubuntu after manually completing grub :) [03:39] RFleming, Can you run the bootscript and post it? [03:39] wilee-nilee, where's the bootscript? [03:39] oh wait... boot-repair makes one. [03:39] paste.ubuntu.com/1219789 [03:40] how do i downgrade conky?

[03:44] where is the trash can located?

[03:47] im not sure but it could have happened yes. [03:48] RFleming, Ah we can't officially help you on this channel, I would post a thread on the ubuntu forums with the latest bootscript, the people including the designer of the bootrepair app that are the best at this are there.

[03:50] just a guess though. [03:50] wilee-nilee, I don't have UEFI. [03:51] RFleming, I know but your bootscript dies show there are remnants, insmod efi_gop insmod efi_uga [03:52] does* [03:53] Once again I'm somewhat guessing if this is the problem, I know this from what I learned with working with the folks on the ubuntu forums.

[04:48] I need to get rid of grub now and continue my normal windows [04:48] continue my normal windows installation boot [04:49] sam__, Do you have a recovery or install disc and what windows version is it? [04:49] win7 64 bit [04:49] Greetings! I am trying to use the Landscape service to run a script on a remote system.. I need to delete a file using root access, but Landscape won't let me run the script as root. I can try running as a regular user and putting sudo commands in the script, I think... but I'm not sure how that would work as I won't be "there" to type in the password. Am I going about this the wrong way? [04:49] I used disk but i faced same error [04:50] I need to delete and perhaps format ubuntu partition [04:50] good suggestion wilee-nilee, I'll give it a shot [04:50] without having ubuntu on my disk [04:50] #ubuntu-br [04:50] give me what i want please its takeing me too long [04:50] sam__, YOU just need if the windows boot is okay the terminal in the booted disc and run. BootRec.exe /fixmbr [04:52] I wrote what you said in grub rescue line but Unknown command [04:52] sam__, Here is a whole rebuild set if needed if the command above does not due it. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1219922/ Read the posts I said the command from the terminal on the booted windows disc. [04:52] sam_, wilee-nilee said to boot from the windows disk, go to prompt and use the command above on the windows side. Should fix it [04:53] hey now i've having more troubles [04:53] bash: ./wepcrack: Permiso denegado [04:54] sam__, Take a look at the pastebin it has instuctions to getting to the terminal an the disc and a link to show you if needed. [04:55] wilee what if i format ubuntu partition using try ubuntu from live disk [04:55] ? [04:55] does it work that way seems easier. [04:55] sam__, I'm not sure what you mean? [04:56] I mean I use the live cd to use ubuntu. and then i format the partition that had ubuntu in it [04:56] clear? [04:56] sam__, To boot windows without grub, you have to load the windows bootloader to the mbr, which is what the first command I posted does. [04:57] do you know how i can boot from grub rescue page [04:57] without pushing off button? === sixdahs is now known as forkb0mb [04:58] I have like bin/cue file to burn along with Tracks(1,2,3,4,etc).bin...how do i burn them to a single disc? === romy420 is now known as coinandable [04:59] sam__, I'm not sure what is on your HD, in all that commotion earlier it seemed some stuff was missing. I have the feeling you are grasping at straws here, I don't really help unless I have I a full downlow of what is going on. [05:00] sam__, IN other words I suspect you can not boot the windows disc, this should be mentioned if it is the case. [05:01] i can boot from system disk but not the other ones recovery disks [05:01] my system can not boot without a bootable disk or usb [05:01] sam__, I'm not sure what that means. [05:01] I am trying to use the Landscape service to run a script on a remote system.. I need to delete a file using root access, but Landscape won't let me run the script as root. I can try running as a regular user and putting sudo commands in the script, I think... but I'm not sure how that would work as I won't be "there" to type in the password. Am I going about this the wrong way? [05:02] sam__, So am I correct you can't boot the windows disc to get to a recovery terminal? [05:04] what do you mean boot windows disk i m booting from the windows installation disk its goes until updating system and then it ejects cd and says system will reboot to continue installation [05:04] and then i face that grub page [05:05] oh im tired of doing this again and again [05:05] sam__, Have you looked at the pastebin I posted it tells you how to get to the recovery terminal? [05:05] it sucks [05:05] the recovery on the windows disc [05:06] yeah but it did not give me command prompt option [05:06] I [05:06] it just asks for recovery disk 1 again [05:06] sam__, Is there a W7 install or just a recovery on the HD? [05:06] its not installed [05:07] i read in google that with the command 'sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop' i can install on my 12.04 ubuntu under gnome the xcfe desktop of the lighter xubuntu. is that trure? has any issues? i read also that when the system strarts gives the options to choose betweeen different desktops (gnome or xcfe). is that also true? do ia nees to reconfigure my programs to run under under xcfe as i have configured under gnome. for example to i have to [05:07] reconfigure chrome or mozilla preferences, bookmarks etc or does my /user stays the same? [05:07] sam__, Ah you need a install to use the command to reload the windows bootloader. [05:07] bambino: sudo ./wepack [05:08] it was just going to install it i guess it formated the last win and could not reboot to continue installation process [05:08] akis, yes but use sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [05:08] i can not install anything wilee [05:08] when i can n ot boot [05:08] !enter | sam__ [05:08] sam__: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [05:08] sam__, If you had run the bootrepair in the beginning as I suggested long ago to get a bootscript posted a lot of this hassle would have been avoided, instead of flailing to fix. [05:09] alright, that wasn't so tough [05:09] ok can you send the link again? [05:09] akis no need to reconfigure them [05:09] building a g++ cross compiler [05:10] is there any dangerous for my data due to this procedure or is it absolutely safe? does my /user stays the same so i don't need to reconfigure anythin but just to manage my new desktop? [05:10] akis yes very safe [05:11] akis use apt-get , not aptitude [05:11] sam__, Here is a link I'm going to crash soon so I doubt I can be of help, but the ubuntu forum is a great place I would post the script there and your intentions and tools you have. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [05:12] so, i can understand that is a very convinient procedure. because any user can have 2 desktop in one machine and choose any he likes at any time he wants. to go from one to other you need to restart or just to log out? [05:12] akis , log out. and way more than two. [05:13] thanks wilee nillee [05:13] lubuntu-desktop , kubuntu-desktop, edubuntu-desktop and others akis [05:15] oh thanks. it could be my next question.

[05:17] akis, lighter weight, some different default applications, themes, file managers and so on. [05:18] hey guys [05:18] best ubuntu desktop?

[05:55] cihhan, Is that a boot partition or root which is already mounted. [05:55] UbuntuNoob: Ask your question about it. [05:56] wilee-nilee: boot [05:56] i forgot to put dual booted on a system with uefi [05:56] there is no /boot [05:56] it's like deleted [05:57] UbuntuNoob, Yes I installed and reinstalled both aside each other but nit with a uefi setup [05:57] not* [05:57] cihhan, I'm not sure but what you mean by /boot [05:57] i have had no luck with it since i got my new motherboard that has uefi [05:57] Hello ! I recently god an error in Ubuntu and it goes like this : usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/colord/colord [05:58] command 'sudo setxkbmap -option grp:alt_shift_toggle us,gr' didn't solve the issue at least for me. [05:58] cihhan, or just bot [05:58] boot* [05:58] UbuntuNoob: Excuse me; I have not experience about this [05:58] wilee-nilee: the boot files such as grub [05:59] well crap im hoping to get this figured out [05:59] cihhan, I'm not sure what your doing but those are in the root files, what is your final goal here? [05:59] right now im running it in virtualbox [06:00] wilee-nilee: The thing is like /dev/ there is /boot folder [06:00] wilee-nilee: so, my /boot directory is no longer there [06:00] cihhan, what is your final goal here? [06:00] wilee-nilee: to recover my system [06:01] cihhan, Are you booted to it or is this from another install or a live cd? [06:01] I booted the system but while booting, it said that there are some problems [06:02] Anyone in here play kerbal /ksp? [06:02] So, when I see the log file it says something like /dev/sda1 is already mounted or /boot is busy [06:02] cihhan, Are you on the desktop? Is this grub 2? [06:02] should be grub2 [06:02] cihhan: what error were you getting..? [06:02] Im remotely connecting to the computer [06:03] the sda1 being busy stuff isn't really an error that should cause boot problems. [06:03] over what? [06:03] Snow-Man: When I m rebooting my computer it gives error and says that /dev/sda1 is already mounted or /boot is busy [06:03] anyone have the newest version of ubuntu installed on uefi alongside windows 7 which was preinstalled?

[06:07] imgh.us [06:07] np [06:07] perhaps look through dmesg output? [06:08] My system is showing ip but not connecting to internet [06:08] what IP do you see? [06:09] Snow-Man: the ip alloted to my system in networ starting with 192.X.X.X [06:09] That's a local network address [06:09] alright, do you have a default gw? [06:09] Snow-Man: gw ? [06:09] ip ro ls; will show you [06:09] ok [06:09] yes, gateway [06:09] look for a line with 'default' [06:10] Snow-Man: no [06:10] you'll need a 'default' line. Do you know the IP address of your router? [06:11] i don't know but tell me the procees i will do it [06:11] Snow-Man: How to add it please tell the command [06:12] ip ro add default via 192.whatever [06:12] Snow-Man: Thanks going to try === ^GeCk0^ is now known as DjGeCk0 [06:14] is there a command i can do to 1) search my home folder, 2)go through each filename and folder, 3)find any spaces and replace the spaces with underscores? I recently did a backup of windows files and some of them have spaces, despite every effort to enforce a no spaces policy. [06:15] hi [06:15] hi [06:15] chovynz: yes, that's possible to do, but it's a bit involved. There's no single command to do it. === DjGeCk0 is now known as ^GeCk0^ [06:15] chovynz: that's one of the good things about unix though, really, lots of small/simple utilities which you can put together to do what you need... [06:16] Snow-Man: currently im doing it manually through filezilla, so, anything might be better :) [06:16] Snow-Man: RTNETLINK no such process , it is saying [06:17] jilt007: did you figure out what the IP address of your gateway router is? If not, it's not going to work. [06:17] chovynz: hahaha. [06:17] if i have a folder name starts with - ,how can i open it in cmd? [06:17] Snow-Man: Yes i got the ip of gateway [06:17] chovynz: my recommendation would be to use a shell script, really. [06:17] rrandom_: probably by putting "--" before it, eg: mycmd -- -file [06:18] chovynz: you might be able to do it w/ a single find command, but it'd be kind of tricky. [06:19] jilt007: do you get anything back from that 'ip ro ls' command? [06:19] Snow-Man: yes [06:19] Snow-Man: thanks.it really help [06:20] I can't seem to get ssh to respect a changes authorize_keys file [06:20] Is there anything i should do besides service ssh restart?

[06:20] Snow-Man: 192.168.12.0/24 dev eth0 something like that but only one line , i checked the other system the output of the command ip ro ls is in 3 line === newbie is now known as Guest41169 [06:21] jayeffkay: restarting ssh shouldn't be necessary.. sounds like there's a different problem. Are you sure the file is only readable by the owner? And the .ssh directory is 700? [06:21] you look busy Snow-Man so ill wait for when your free to talk more indepth with you, if you are willing [06:22] jilt007: ok, and the default gw you're using starts with 192.168.12. right? [06:22] Snow-Man: yes [06:22] chovynz: ever created a shell script before? [06:22] Snow-Man: nope [06:22] Snow-Man: Yeah, it was set up initially by ubuntu/ec2, i just changed the file, but it's neither locking out the old key nor accepting the new one [06:22] jilt007: maybe try: route add -net default gw 192.168.12.whatever ? [06:23] Snow-Man: ok [06:23] jayeffkay: ugh. I dunno about ec2 and what magic they might be forcing.. [06:23] chovynz: alright.. ever written an actual *text* file, using nano or vi or something? [06:24] Snow-Man: yeah, sometimes i hate ec2 [06:24] plenty of times Snow-Man, i just dont know the unix commands for what i want to do. i could google or man, but im currently trying to move my laptop upstairs. [06:25] chovynz: are all the files in one directory?

[07:01] is that where it goes? [07:04] chovynz: working on it, give me a few. [07:05] lol, i dont really want you to do my work for me, i want to learn what these do and what they mean. [07:05] but i do appreciate what you've done so far :) [07:06] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1220018/ [07:06] there ya go. [07:07] oh! sweet, thanks [07:07] I tried to explain each step to someone who isn't familiar with shell scripting. [07:07] np [07:08] How do I show window contents when resizing? I have ccsm [07:09] I have no idea. [07:09] How to install nrpe plugin in ubuntu ??? [07:10] Snow-Man: how would i go about making this work on all subdirectories? (recursively?) [07:10] aptitude install nagios-plugin-nrpe or something? [07:10] use apt-cache search [07:10] chovynz: you would need to split it up into directory and file components [07:10] Is it worth installing fglrx or will this break everything like my multi montior setup? [07:10] chovynz: you can do that by running 'dirname' on $line, that'll give you the directory [07:11] Snow-Man: some of the directories have spaces too. is it pretty much the same proces but for dirs? [07:11] then you can still run sed on the base file, but then keep the file in the same directory it's in currently; even if the directory has a space in it === joseph-montanez is now known as sutabi [07:11] if you want the script to change the *directories* to remove the spaces also, things get more complicated. [07:12] how so? [07:12] well [07:12] !rd [07:12] the simple answer would be to just go through and change the directories first [07:12] heh [07:13] not something i fancy with 40K files and god knows how many dirs [07:13] if you want it all done at the same time, then you have to deal with the fact that find isn't going to know about directory renames as its recursing.. [07:13] pffft. [07:13] that's not very many [07:13] lol [07:13] you can just use find to pull/change only the directories [07:14] then do the files after? [07:14] yea [07:14] find in gui or cli? [07:14] tho there is an issue about multiple-levels of directories... [07:14] cli, of course [07:14] ugh [07:14] makes my head hurt, and I've been drinking. :D [07:14] Ahahah [07:15] So a dir find would be something like, find dir -depth 1 -name '* *' -print | while read line; do [07:16] how do you go about kernel modulation for accelerated graphics hardware ? [07:17] find / -name "* *" -type d [07:17] yea [07:17] what? [07:17] sorry silverarrow, not at you [07:18] but what happens when there's multiple levels of directories with spaces? [07:18] Snow-Man: true... [07:18] Snow-Man: is there some way of going to the last depth of directory and working back or does it not work that way? [07:19] actually, it shouldn't be that bad, if you do it right, but you might have to do multiple traversals and there could be some errors. [07:19] chovynz: here's my suggestion [07:19] I click on the update manager and when I click Partial Upgrade it starts and then error appears, I cannot upgrade [07:20] chovynz: create a set of directories which have some of these 'issues' and challenges [07:20] and then test [07:20] :) [07:20] lol [07:20] testing is awesome. [07:20] fair enough and good suggestion [07:20] anyone with an answer for my issue [07:21] seduce1: what's the error? [07:21] it says [07:21] Could not Calculate Upgrade [07:21] ugh. [07:21] it has happened before too [07:22] with older graphics cards has anyone been able to get accelerated graphics ? [07:22] but after awhile it got fixed [07:22] silverarrow: if it's old enough, it might not be able to provide acceleration... [07:22] seduce1: perhaps make sure you've done an update? [07:22] I did the update [07:22] then tried to upgrade [07:23] and this is what appears [07:23] Snow-Man, I see, however I think it originally had in osx [07:23] Snow-Man, I keep getting conflicting info [07:24] It really depends on the specific card.. [07:25] Snow-Man: find ~ -name "* *" -type d, this limited my search and i found a few where i wanted instead of searching root which is / (or is that current directory?) [07:25] It is only an old iBook, with 4X AGP ATI Mobility Radeon 9550 card [07:25] chovynz: / is 'root', current directory would be '.' [07:25] VLC is giving me flickering. very minute flashes... [07:25] Snow-Man: thanks [07:26] there was an ibook? or is it a macbook? heh.. [07:26] Snow-Man, it`s not so much the acceleration and 3D effects, but more actual activation of graphics card [07:26] drupin: I bet that's annoying. [07:26] Hello. I'm using ubuntu server 11.10 and it's since a month ago or so that I get the warning "volume boot has only 0 bytes disk space remaining" that prevents me from, e.g., intalling new linux or linux-headers packages. What kind of cleaning can I do? [07:26] silverarrow: i would think that radeons are fairly well supported in ubuntu these days. [07:26] quatar: look for file in /root to remove? [07:27] chovynz, at the mac rumors forum they have the ompletely opposite view? [07:27] Snow-Man: since it's not part of my /home, they are not file I totally undertsnad, and I can't see what is useful and what can be deleted [07:28] quatar: how big is your root partition?

[07:46] or rather more to the point, what is your exact issue? [07:46] I somehow want to make sure my iBook actually uses it, and not sort of bypass it [07:46] benchmark tests? [07:46] silverarrow: the driver is loaded, it is in use [07:46] oh, I see [07:46] good [07:47] silverarrow: lsmod = list modules that are loaded and in use [07:47] auronandace, I am testing for quantal powerpc and it is a major mess with drivers in the live cd [07:47] thanks that is helpful [07:48] silverarrow: quantal isn't supported here, you should use #ubuntu+1 [07:48] How do I troubleshoot slowness on my computer?

[08:38] hi, this morning i could not boot in to my 11.10 on a thinkpad because of "could not mount /tmp" or so (i forgot the exact error message). several booting attemps failed with similar errors (mount issues). i ran extensive harddrive diagnostics and the drive is healthy and also windows xp (its a dual boot system) ran without issues. after all this outside testing, the next ubuntu boot worked flawlessly. [08:39] still, i'm concerned about the boot problem. do you have any idea what that was? [08:39] can i run any diagnostics? [08:40] biopyte: /tmp is provided by tmpfs [08:40] why would the system not boot bacause of mount problems? in 10 years linux experience i never had such an issue? [08:40] biopyte: it's a sort of a ramdisk [08:40] gordonjcp, what does that imply? [08:41] well, for some reason it was unable to fire up tmpfs [08:41] I don't know why, but maybe the logs have something more to tell you [08:41] ok [08:42] biopyte: it's a ramdisk that can be swapped out [08:42] gordonjcp, do you think that was some kind of rare hickup and i could forget about it? [08:42] yeah, I suspect so [08:42] ok [08:42] keep an eye on it, and get more details if it happens again [08:42] virus rather unlikely?

[08:48] silvernarrow, right now i experience no lagging at all [08:48] everything seems normal [08:48] biopyte, I suppose there are loads of browser factors that causes lag [08:48] right [08:48] firefox is not a good system diagnostics tool [08:49] those tracking cookies, flash stuff, I suppose they are equally effective on ubuntu as windows?

[08:51] okey,i would try that [08:52] ikonia: adressed to different subnet than LAN? [08:52] SilfenX: right, so where is that currently set to route ? [08:52] hi how do i installl grub to mbr [08:52] auronandace: i installed all the necessary codecs still mkv file is flickering... mean minute flashing a bit [08:52] wutix: it's done as part of the install process [08:53] i meant grub-install [08:53] wutix: man grub-install then [08:53] wutix: grub-install /dev/sda [08:53] ikonia: I m a linux, as well as netowrk newbie. You d have to hold my hand doing this. Google hasnt been my friend either or my IQ isnt up to the challange of discerning the relevant bits of what I m reading ... [08:54] SilfenX: ok, where is the non-local subnet traffic set to route currently ? [08:54] cebor does not work [08:54] SilfenX: for that sort of thing, you will need to use the terminal [08:54] SilfenX: making a GUI for that would be too complicated [08:54] gordonjcp: maybe not if it's controlled by network manager..... [08:55] ikonia: maybe I'm misunderstanding the question [08:55] SilfenX: in general if you can't do it in network manager, it's some deep magic and you'll need to open a terminal [08:55] gordonjcp: maybe I am too, he wants to route non-local traffic out of a different interface. [08:55] ikonia: defaultroute then [08:55] gordonjcp: exactly [08:55] SilfenX: What exactly are you trying to do? [08:55] autodetection of a filesystem failed [08:55] wutix: sudo fdisk -l [08:55] gordonjcp: problem is the VPN service I m subscribing to hands out a new IP each time the connection is inititated [08:56] SilfenX: that's pretty standard [08:56] so I d be needing to use netdevicename, ie ppp0, tun1, eth0 etc [08:56] SilfenX: I don't understand what you're trying to do [08:56] to forcebind applications or the entire WAN thingamajingy to the VPN? [08:57] right [08:57] but none of that makes any sence [08:57] *sense [08:57] just default route again. [08:57] what's "forcebind"? [08:57] I dont want the machien to be able to access itnernet if the VPN is up but retain local smb connectivity [08:57] if you want applications to go out of an interface if they are not on your local network, change the default route [08:57] *if the VPN isnt [08:58] SilfenX: that will happen on it's own [08:58] SilfenX: if there is no internet interface available, it can only use the local interface [08:58] cebor no path or device is specified autodeection of the filesystem fqiled [08:58] SilfenX: if there is an internet interface available, set it to the default route [08:59] wutix: but if the local interface has a standard gateway defined, wan packets will leak out over there? [08:59] sry, that was meant for ikonia [08:59] SilfenX: nothing "leaks" and the only gateway on your local lan will be the default gateway, which will move if you set a new one [09:00] meh thanks guys [09:00] can this be automated, as each time vpn is initated, it gets a new ip, or can I simply use the netdevice name? [09:00] SilfenX: it will probably set the new interface to the default gateway, if not you'll have to set it [09:04] i have my book live drives 2 and i can see them on home folder but with no other software [09:05] how we know a process become zombie or not?

[09:08] ikonia, actually i don't know...but i think i should know what the zombie process is?

[12:00] Do they UID''s change when you reinstall the OS and remount another/same harddisk? [12:00] klpkt: chovynz _my_ advice would be: remove the config from /etc/network/interfaces, reboot and setup networkmanager using the applet [12:00] llutz: i agree :) [12:00] eagleman unless you repartition it - no, they stick to the harddisk [12:01] ok, thanks aigan [12:01] klpkt: do you know how to do that? [12:01] so sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces, and remove the things I put in yesterday?

[12:34] i want to get to renaming all files that has spaces, and directories. space gets replaced with underscore [12:34] chovynz: I understand. I suggest using the "rename" command [12:35] jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1220447/ this is where im up to atm with the help of someone else. [12:35] chovynz: rename -v 's/\ /\_/g' * [12:35] chovynz: you can do all this in a single line. Enable the globstar option and then use rename [12:36] usr13: can you explain what is happening there? [12:36] jrib: globstar? [12:37] !globstar | chovynz [12:37] chovynz: Yea, it removes spaces in all file names, (current directory). [12:37] chovynz: that way you can use "**" to recursively glob. I would do this: shopt -t globstar; rename -n 'y/ /_/' ** (in the right directory of course) [12:37] globstar is bash setting/feature [12:38] erm [12:38] chovynz: I meant "shopt -s globstar", not "shopt -t globstar" [12:38] chovynz: rename "s/ *//g" * [12:38] theres dozens of exammple scripts//commands to convert spaces to _ in names. [12:39] there may be, but im having trouble finding them [12:39] I normally make up several dependong on what i want. space to _ or space to - or space to Nothing. ;) [12:40] i manned shopt. jrib what does it do? [12:40] wow, last night I used an external drive with ext4 on it, today gparted sees it as unknown. [12:40] i just googled for 'bash convert space in filenames' linuxquestion.org had several [12:40] chovynz: try "help shopt" [12:41] qmv is a neat command to help you in renaming a lot of fancy goofy names into somthing saner also. [12:41] ah, shopt = shell options [12:41] of course [12:43] so using rename -n might be a good way to test? [12:43] chovynz: yes [12:43] Is there anyway to recover my ext4 partition? [12:43] is unix cli in perl? [12:43] melkor, you label the drive to some other name with gparted since it is listed [12:43] chovynz: The first one I gave you replaces the spaces with _ (underscores), and I like that one best. [12:44] melkor: What happened to it? [12:44] bekks: not a clue, last night it worked and today only the ntfs partitions are still alive. [12:44] chovynz: rename -v 's/\ /\_/g' * #Replaces spaces with _ [12:44] melkor, but run sudo blkid first [12:44] melkor: run sudo blkid -g; sudo blkid [12:45] chovynz: rename "s/ *//g" * #Just crams everything together. [12:45] usr13: i would rather underscores too [12:46] why would this be? [12:46] bekks: still doesn't find the partition. [12:46] usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1220462/ why has it only renamed one, when it found more? [12:47] oh [12:47] because the other two are hidden [12:48] melkor: Then pastebin the output of sudo blkid please [12:48] how do i rename hidden dirs? [12:48] chovynz: The same way you rename other dirs. [12:49] bekks then why didn't this work? === mike is now known as Guest84115 [12:49] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1220462/ [12:49] chovynz: randomly renaming dirs might break things, if you don't change the configuration of the program owning it [12:49] chovynz: Everything in there worked.

[12:51] or use the noauto option for it [12:51] Okay, now I'm back again... Why does my machine hate me so? Now it says that it can't reach the website. I suspect that the page I tried the connection on was cached, and that's why I could access it. [12:51] melkor: And which partition is missing from your point of view? [12:51] what is wrong with adding a usb disk in the fstb file? [12:52] chovynz: why do you want to do this? [12:52] Eagleman7: it assumes it will be there every mount [12:52] sdc6 [12:52] it used to work but after adding the UUID it stopped working [12:52] klpkt: host av.com #What does that tell you? [12:52] So what does no auto do? [12:52] bekks: gparted claims that sdc6 is unknown file system of 101G last night it was ext4. [12:52] melkor: Then pastebin sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdc please [12:53] 'noauto' tells it to not mount it aty boot time [12:53] but when the user tells it to [12:53] hello. I have a problem with live cd.

[12:55] melkor: So what have you done then? :) [12:55] chovynz: you got the command, just start renaming [12:55] bekks: I have no clue, at the worste I unplugged it w/out ejecting the device.

[13:11] Brother MFC-J6510DW [13:12] klpkt: No. Do not add sudo. just "dhclient wlan0" [13:12] I already installed some packages which would be suffient [13:12] from brother.nl/linux [13:12] usr13: And now it will work when I reboot too? [13:12] editted /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules and added the brother to it [13:12] klpkt: Yes. (We think.) [13:12] Is it sed? That I use for changing something in a file? I have a file that has "bind 127.0.0.1" on a line. I want to change it to "# bind 127.0.0.1" [13:13] usr13: Okay, thanks! I'll come back if it doesn't. [13:13] klpkt: tail -n1 /etc/rc.local #Does it say: dhclient wlan0 ? [13:14] usr13: I rebooted, and now the DNS lookup failed. [13:14] klpkt: I think we added the line in the wrong place. [13:15] usr13: It does say dhclient wlan0, though. [13:15] klpkt: What is the last line in the /etc/rc.local file? [13:15] layke__: sed -i 's/^bind/# bind/' yourfile [13:15] klpkt: Or, what is above the line you added? [13:15] L3top: why would this be happening? Can't rename /var/www/usb/Audio Adrenaline/8 Great Hits /var/www/usb/Audio_Adrenaline/8_Great_Hits: No such file or directory this is after running find /var/www/usb -name "* *" -type d | rename 's/ /_/g'^C [13:16] usr13: The last line is the dhclient wlan0, but above that is exit 0. Should I have removed that? [13:16] ignore the ^C [13:16] klpkt: exit 0 has to be the last line. So dhclient wlan0 needs to be above that line. (I forgot that they are putting "exit 0" at the bottom of that file now. [13:17] hello -- I have an extremely dumb question. In which file is the log stored when disk check fixes errors at boot? [13:17] llutz, Thanks :) [13:18] klpkt: And we don't know for sure if the executable bit is set on /etc/rc.local Although ls -l /etc/rc.local will tell us, we can just issue command chmod +x /etc/rc.local #And be done with it. [13:18] chovynz: because renaming Audio Adrynaline to Audio_Adrenaline means that Audio Adrenaline/8 Great Hits no longer exists as it is going in order? [13:18] klpkt: chmod +x /etc/rc.local [13:18] Anyone can help me with my printer? [13:18] L3top: did i need to change the dirs first? [13:19] usr13: Now it works!

[13:29] I FUCKING LOVE COMMERCIALISM [13:29] skadoosh: for free? idk. [13:29] mimoid: We don't care. [13:30] usr13: "OK, I've got scanning working...mostly.

[13:30] So the topic is not really helping [13:30] using an openvpn client on Desktop, how should I set the fw to exempt the vpn interface from smb while retaining it on the lan interface for local clients? [13:30] How can I give the printer a static IP? [13:30] now it is in a loop on the ubuntu logo screen [13:30] alex-: I don't know. But that is what you need to do. Try your router's configuration menu. Look under DHCP and see if it has provision for adding static lease [13:31] Which IP should I give it?

[15:00] Truecrypt should work aross platforms brightsparks [15:00] 0MGUBUNTU: ok [15:00] yes truecrypt is the only full disk encryption the feds can't crack [15:01] I just got an SSD and was wondering if I should back up my data elsewhere and then install Ubuntu from the beginning? Or is there a way to move it all over to the SSD? [15:01] THE_GFR|WORK, truecrypt is a software, not a encryption. You're probably thinking about AES [15:01] THE_GFR|WORK: or thats what they'd like you to believe :) [15:01] auronandace: they did a test, and the feds can't crack it. I'm good. [15:02] Hello, I just messed up my 'Wine', uninstalled it and reinstalled it, but I still get error while starting apps with wine of even win configuration. I remember that I was playing with .dll files (folowing tuts) and now It doesnt work anymore. I cant find how I can reset wine COMPLETELY to factory reset or something.

I had run it without any problems for a long time - but I was asked by my school to check out Windows 8. After installing it, then going back to linux, I now have an issue where Ubuntu will only boot randomly -1/10 times is usually the average. I was looking at my grub configuration and its booting (hd0, msdos1) even though I do not have a ntfs partition. any ideas? [15:13] llutz: stil doesnt work [15:13] should have ran it in a sandbox [15:13] When selecting 'ubuntu' under grub, it will go to a black screen with the cursor in top left corner and do nothing. [15:13] its best not to have a windows install alongside your linux one [15:13] !nomodeset > godrick [15:13] godrick, please see my private message [15:14] because windows is crap [15:14] Avaris_: if you don't know what a tilde is: "ls -l $HOME/.Xauthority" [15:14] thank you! [15:14] MrELusive: unhelpful, please refrain. [15:14] btw, I dont have windows installed anymore as it was just a test for school [15:15] godrick: was it on a separate drive or a separate partition? [15:15] llutz: still cannot access [15:15] Where can i find more information why this failed? this happens on reboot/startup: mountall: Event failed [15:15] Avaris_: error i [15:15] Avaris_: error is?

[15:16] its safer [15:16] its in your users home directory Avaris_ not / [15:16] yeah dont need to give it a partition [15:17] just emulate one [15:17] then when youve had enough you can dump it [15:17] Avaris_: does it really say "/.Xauthority"? would mean, your $HOME is not set. try "ls -l /home//.Xauthority" [15:17] * DrManhattan misses gaming in linux [15:17] it just disappeared a few years back and never really returned [15:17] ive been playing DDO through wine [15:17] godrick: if you actually changed parition geometry then GRUB may be confused. but that would almost certainly affect every single attemot to boot.

The only problem that has been suggested that that using the usb on a windows computer not mine may have adminstrative rights restrictions or/also pose therefore a security risk since if I do mount my files on the win computer an adminstrator might be able later to see what I was doing including passwords etc -that is how I am interpr [15:34] eting what is linked to the article you recommended anyway.

[15:58] maplesoft: ssh -D yourusername@sshmachine.com [15:58] groupcat: yes [15:58] maplesoft: look in the network settings [15:59] the port specified by -D is a socks5 proxy that is opened on your localhost machine [15:59] hes trying to use his virtual private server as a proxy to use at home, wireless access point wont help him [15:59] MonkeyDust: no worries [15:59] ohh [15:59] you connect to it which then tunnels the connection to the remote machine and all further data goes throught hat [15:59] gordonjcp: i have kubuntu. what settings? [15:59] gordonjcp: if i ssh -D . no need for squid? [15:59] thats correct, no need for squid with that method [16:00] then set your proxy server settings in IE or firefox or whatever to 127.0.0.1 port 8080 [16:00] llutz: [16:00] llutz: all my settings gone.

[16:01] so, i was wondering when it comes to problems i have encountered with 64 bit ubuntu and my soundblaster live card, is it better to go back to a 32bit install? [16:01] vartotojas: no idea, sry [16:01] it creates a tunnel between your local pc and your server [16:01] anthonym: thats what bind address is? [16:01] well specifically its a dynamic port [16:02] maplesoft, ssh -D explained; http://www.revsys.com/writings/quicktips/ssh-tunnel.html [16:02] llutz, in place of dump and pass, what do I'll write? [16:02] anthonym: ok. how can i use global proxy for all apps like firefox and kget? [16:02] " 0 2" karlg [16:02] ok, llutz, thanks. [16:02] maplesoft: don't know, never used kde [16:03] maplesoft: you don't need squid [16:03] maplesoft, once the tunnel is created (using the ssh -D command), you'l need to set your proxy settings in your software to server 127.0.0.1, port 8080 [16:03] gordonjcp, we've already established that [16:03] ;) [16:04] anthonym: ok. thanks! gordonjcp thanks [16:04] its ok [16:05] is soundblaster driver support better on ubuntu 32bit than the 64bit install?

[16:14] MrELusive: it also says its rude to pm people before asking [16:14] Is there a general command or utility that is used to tell if a device is properly installed? [16:15] locoguano: doesn't that entirely depend on the device? [16:15] well i havent pm'ed anyone till they pm'ed me first [16:15] MrELusive: not true, you pm'd me [16:15] thats cause its showing me that you pm'ed me [16:16] MrELusive: i never pm'd you, i asked you a question in channel then you pm'd me [16:16] As a migrant from Win7, I am used to seeing the "device not recognized' message. Was wondering about an Ubuntu equivalent. [16:16] xchat isnt that retarded [16:16] ok, whats it mean when it in red then? [16:16] locoguano: There is no equivalent. [16:16] is that becuase you used my name? [16:16] MrELusive, CTCP [16:16] MrELusive: You have been hilighted. [16:17] or that yeah [16:17] ok well iam knew to this irc client [16:17] MrELusive: thats a highlight [16:17] and anthonym i dont need any more CTCP ver and and stuff [16:17] lol [16:17] i sent one, to query your client version :) [16:18] just plain old xchat [16:18] I note a bug on ubuntu 12.04, I cannot hibernate my computer, when my battery is in critic state. [16:18] IC. I am trying to get a usb tv tuner (ati tv wonder 600) working. I have copied the firmware to /lib/firmware as suggested on several websites, however, mythtv did not detect the tuner. [16:18] karlg do you have the correct power support drivers installed for your mobo? [16:19] !tv | locoguano [16:19] locoguano: http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), Kaffeine, kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Me-TV (GNOME), Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out and !UbuntuTV [16:19] because that wouldnt be a bug, even if it were a driver issue, with the OS [16:19] i would think that if your battery was in crtical state that would mean you wold be running out of power soon? [16:19] lol [16:19] what do you say by mobo? anthonym [16:19] sorry, motherboard [16:20] lol. Linuxtv is where I got the firmware... Guess I will hit up a few of those others. [16:20] motherboard will have an Ahci driver, or should do... if the drivers are incorrect, ubuntu wont have access to certain specific cmds for your device [16:20] Hibernating means to save your computer state to the harddisk, if the battery is in a critical state it most likely won't have time to save before it runs out [16:20] karlg is that problem you are having on a notebook? [16:20] critical state != running low [16:20] anthonym: the motherboard doesnt have any drivers at all. [16:21] bekks? oh? [16:21] anthonym: The motherboard supports AHCI, which can be used by software like Ubuntu or Windows. [16:21] yes MrELusive [16:21] ok just was wondering [16:21] of course it has drivers, even if it were generic ubuntu drivers [16:21] i do recall something about that problem being known [16:21] anthonym: No. [16:22] so what would you call the interface between ACHI and the OS? [16:22] anthonym: Thee mainboard does NOT have ANY drivers. The OS ships all drivers it needs. [16:22] guys, im trying to instal corefonts on winetricks but it does nothing [16:22] whats the problem? [16:22] the winetricks! they do nothing! [16:22] I'm trying to do a distribution upgrade but I get an error: libkrb5-3 : Breaks: libsmbclient (<= 2:3.6.1-2) but 2:3.5.11~dfsg-1ubuntu2.1 is to be installed. Previously I had a crash in the middle of a distribution upgrade. It was in the form of an instant reboot (hardware issue). Is there anything to be done, aside from a fresh install? [16:22] anthonym: The interface between AHCI and OS is called "AHCI interface" which is used by the AHCI driver shipped with Ubuntu. [16:22] anthonym: the motherboard has firmware, not drivers per-say [16:23] epistax: are you using third party repositories¿ [16:23] karlg infact i think the ubuntu installer mentioned it when i did a install on one of my notebooks the other day. [16:23] Ah there you go, AHCI driver [16:23] The drivers are made by the OS makers and their partners [16:23] so in fact the statement that it doesnt use a driver is incorrect, however it is included with ubuntu [16:23] didn't think I was going senile just yet. [16:24] xangua: I don't think so. I'm trying to double check in Synaptic but it crashes when I try to access the repositories page [16:24] anthonym: Drivers arent included with the hardware, that was the point you were wrong at. [16:24] 2:3.5.11~dfsg-1ubuntu2.1 < looks like epistax === g0th_ is now known as g0th === sins-_j is now known as sins- [16:24] anyone know how to connect internet using Huawei e303 in ubuntu 10.10.plz help [16:25] Babul: 10.10 isnt supported anymore. === g0th is now known as Guest46153 [16:25] MrELusive, and what have you done to solve this ? [16:26] karlg nothing, just waiting for the fix in a update === Guest46153 is now known as g0th [16:27] karlg i suppose I could disbale it but then again i never let my abttery get low enough to matter [16:27] xangua, I'm looking at /etc/apt/sources.list and I don't see anytihng that isn't on ubuntu.com which isn't also commented out. Maybe I still have a package on there from another repository I need to delete. [16:28] karlg: maybe send the computer to hibernation when it's a little bit higher on battery life? [16:29] MrELusive, me I have a blem, I do not know causes, but i note that my computer do not make warning , when battery is in critic state, and i hope it'll so hibernate, not kill all process running. [16:29] karlg my notebbok has hibernation disabled. I just shut it down when not using it [16:30] Queops, my notebook has hibernation disabled too. [16:30] normaly one would enable powercord when battery is in critical state.. [16:30] :D [16:30] i do that too [16:30] powercord at all times when available [16:33] deos anyone know about the new bug when it comes to ubuntu64 and wine? from what I have been able to read up on is that its not wine's fault. its something that came up in the last release update of ubuntu [16:33] i cant remmeber the problem file name but did find a work around [16:34] I'm trying to get iptables to log but I can't see the logs anywhere, can anyone help me out? The rules are here http://paste.ubuntu.com/1220753/ [16:36] ok that was nasty [16:36] hitting your link of http://paste.ubuntu.com/1220753/ casued this client to close [16:36] really? [16:37] yeah [16:37] lol what, blame it on pastebin!

[16:39] mre: yep [16:39] howto remove a ghost on ehre i forget [16:40] shad0wfax: did you meant that for me? [16:41] Queops: My bad yes i was :-=) [16:41] shad0wfax: the thing is i'm using the 2.2 version of psad, which is not a problem atm, it's just that iptables isn't logging at the default locations it esems [16:41] seems* [16:42] Yay I figured it out . When my computer had crashed during the distribution upgrade, it modified the sources from maverick to precise, but it didn't upgrade any of my packages. That apparently confused the heck out of apt-get.. [16:42] Queops: Do you have syslog-ng installed? [16:43] Unfortunately my machine now thinks it is running 12.04 but it's actually running 10.10... what to do.. [16:43] shad0wfax: no, why would it be needed? [16:43] epistax: that's not possible === xubuntu is now known as Guest17201 [16:44] Queops: Ubuntu has as far as i know standard rsyslog installed,which i swapped for sysklogd in oreder to get psad working [16:45] jrib, I could have part of that incorrect, but the system is quite hosed. [16:45] epistax: reinstall takes 10 minutes [16:45] shad0wfax: i even tried making a config rule on rsyslog for iptables to log into [16:45] No success lol [16:46] = = Secssin [16:46] epistax: I suggest this since it seems you want to upgrade anyway and upgrades take longer, plus your system is broken at the moment, and you're not sure what/how it is broken [16:47] msg &maple_ [16:47] jrib: Yes that's what I'm going to do now, thanks. I'm just enjoying my 12.04 running on a 3.0.0-16 kernel for a few moments :) [16:47] ciao [16:47] !list [16:47] mik88: No warez here!

[16:54] shad0wfax: won't removing rsyslog affect other services or is it safe? [16:54] lol [16:54] o no [16:54] o.O [16:54] hello community, please... does anyone know what's going on with Ubuntu? My three laptops seem to be really slow when connected to the Internet via wireless nic [16:54] do you have all 3 on at the same time? [16:55] sierra goobi 2000 winmodem cant connect with network, someone use this gsm modem? [16:55] I have looked at many "solutions" that suggest disabling IPv6 and still [16:55] MrELusiveone: yes, but that doesn't change anything... one, two, or three the Internet speed is the same, worst than dial-up [16:56] gabe-20 are you using wireless on them? [16:56] MrELusiveone: yes, the problem happens when I use wireless connection only [16:57] ok then it could be a driver issue try direct lan conenction and see if the problem goes away. i know that on my notebook i had to use a new special driver for the wifi then it worked perfect [16:58] you could check to see if the are alternative drivers available for each notebook [16:58] MrELusiveone: I am 100% sure it has to do with an update because I have had 10.04 LTS since its release and it has never been a problem. Some forums suggest that disabling IPv6 solves the issue but it has not worked for me [16:58] one sec [16:59] under system settings, try hitting the additional drivers icon and see if something for the wifi pops up [17:00] i know that since the recient update, i was able to start using the wifi on my dell notebook thak god for who ever wrote the new driver [17:00] MrELusiveone: no, only options for the graphics card [17:00] gabe-20: That's using 10.04 is it? Are the WiFi devices all the same, or different make/model in each laptop? [17:00] i see, what model notebook [17:01] I have vaio vgn a397 xp [17:01] gabe-20 what model notebook? [17:01] the comand "reboot" doesnt work [17:01] what can i do? [17:01] alex_portugal try reboot now [17:02] haha [17:02] TJ: yes, 10.04 on a Toshiba Satellite, HP625, and 10.10 right now on my desktop PC [17:02] serious [17:02] the now argument after reboot works for most [17:02] MrELusiveone - TJ: I just installed a wireless NIC to the desktop to try it and is slow as well [17:03] gabe-20: What wireless router is the network using? [17:03] Im with desktop pc... the issue is on laptop [17:03] ok i will try [17:03] gabe-20 yeah unless one fo the tech suporters here have a better idea it may be due to the current driver you are using [17:04] doesnt work [17:04] TJ: Netgear... but again, everything has been the same for 2 yrs or so and suddenly all my PCs running Ubunto are slow. I think this is a problem with Ubuntu because my phones and iPad are up to speed [17:04] you will have to know the acutaly wifi device name and check to see if its fully supported === lord_ is now known as NOsen [17:04] yeah that is wierd [17:04] gabe-20: The fact you're seeing the same issue across all devices suggests its an issue with the WiFi router - either its configuration, or a runtime issue that has developed. Have you rebooted the WiFi router to ensure it is not directly causing the issue? [17:04] hello=) [17:04] soemthing has been changed then [17:05] i already tried insert reboot=pci... on the boot... nathing [17:05] well i have seen routers go bad [17:05] is there any console image editor? [17:05] nothing [17:05] Have a quick question about using an genesis emulator and a gamepad. I'm trying to get Gens to work with a Saitek p990 gamepad, and everything works except my analog left button? Yet it works in zSnes, anyone have any ideas on what to do? [17:05] Sailor_Moon: well... what kind of editing are we talking about? There's imagemagick [17:05] !debian [17:05] Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/i386/what-is-debian.html - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [17:05] Alex_portugal are you saying that the cmd reboot does not exist? [17:05] or maybe, dos image editor? [17:06] gabe-20: I'd be looking in /var/log/daemon.log and/or /var/log/syslog for clues as to what speeds the WiFi devices are connecting at, and any issues they are facing. It might also be worth checking /var/log/kern.log for kernel-level issues [17:06] no [17:06] or try a sudo reboot or sudo reboot now [17:06] im saying that its not working.... [17:06] TJ: yes I have even called my ISP to check (it's their router) and they assured me there are no problems. My work laptop runs windows 7 and it is up to speed... I brought my Ubuntu laptop to work and the wireless connection is as slow as my home connection that's why I think it's an Ubuntu update issue [17:06] Alex_portugal: are you doing "sudo reboot" ? [17:06] appears to be off ... but with black screen... [17:07] yes....i already tried.. sudo reboot [17:07] most cmds need a sudo for permission [17:07] gabe-20: Thank-you. That certainly points to a shared issue across the Ubuntu devices. Does this issue occur when only one Ubuntu laptop is powered up? [17:07] ...any image editor, which cam run in DosEmu? there is many editors, but non-free [17:07] doesnt work [17:08] Sailor_Moon: did you see what I told you? [17:08] but the poweroff comand works [17:08] Alex_portugal: 'reboot' simply calls 'shutdown' - try "sudo shudown -r now" [17:08] jrib: about imagemagic? [17:08] i will try [17:08] Sailor_Moon: that was half of what I said, yes [17:08] alex_portugal check to see if you have any pending updates [17:09] jrib: to create any simple image from DosEmu.... this kind [17:09] TJ: it happens anytime, whether one, two, or more devices are connected wirelessly [17:09] doenst work and i dont have any pending updates.... [17:09] what can i do? [17:09] gabe-20 unless you can find a conflict iw ould be willing to bet the router or the routers settings are the blame [17:10] have chat room on ubuntu from espanol [17:10] spanish [17:10] gabe-20: I'm trying to determine if multiple devices could be conflicting, that's why I asked specifically if it happens when only one device is powered up. 'Not being connected', if a device is powered up, doesn't mean it won't be talking to the WAP [17:10] jrib: bmp, jpg, etc... [17:10] Alex_portugal: check /var/log/syslog and/or /var/log/kern.log for clues [17:10] hi [17:10] Sailor_Moon: I'm not really sure what you are asking for so I can't help you [17:10] ok i will do that [17:11] I cant boot into oneiric on a dell optiplex 745, screen goes blank after post says cant support video mode [17:11] jrib: :( [17:11] TJ: I see... sorry I misunderstood the question but yeah, right now my desktop is the only one powered up and it is slow too [17:12] jrib: i am asking for DosEmu or Freedos [17:12] gabe-20: OK, we're doing a process of narrowing the issue down to determine what's best to check :) [17:12] Sailor_Moon: ok, well I don't know any dos apps [17:12] Good evening. [17:12] jrip: ok [17:12] Hi all, I just re-installed my Ubuntu server, I made a backup of my bind files, and now it seems that my axfr.conf file has options which are no longer understood. Is it possible to rebuild it? [17:12] lucido check to see in system settings if the is a option for a better video driver [17:12] lucido, This a fresh install or a post tweak? [17:13] MrELusiveone: Can't blane the router settings at this point, I have brought my laptop to work and it is as slow when connected wirelessly === miro is now known as Guest97101 [17:13] lucido under system settings, try hitting the additional drivers icon [17:13] gabe-20: Do you do anything special in terms of configuring DNS servers for those machines? In other words, is it name resolution causing this, or, is it that single big-file downloads slow? [17:13] uh, it doesnt boot [17:14] gabe-20 then it must be something with the driver then [17:14] blank screen after post [17:14] !nomodeset | lucido [17:14] lucido: 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 [17:14] like its half working [17:14] right? [17:14] i would try a ping to yahoo.com and see if there are lost packets [17:14] wilee-nilee, problem is I cant even get to grub menu screen goes blank after post, [17:15] MrELusive: The driver is fine! This is an issue with the network layer. As gabe-20 said it could be related to the IPv6 DNS issues, or it might be a slow link negotiation, or incorrect routing [17:15] lucido, If this is the only install you will need to hold the shift key down after powering on to see grub if it is 12.04. [17:15] I have this problem where my windows will be blank white when switching between active windows. Only a resize will bring back the contents. I have tried different video drivers (nvidia), but nothing seems to fix it. Any ideas? [17:15] hrmmm [17:16] wilee-nilee, its oneiric [17:16] did they revamp IPv6 last update? [17:16] It makes it so that I can't do my homework with 2 windows open at a time. Either one is blank, or the other is (when they're side-by-side) [17:16] lucido, I believe oneric is the same try the esc or shift key. [17:16] Hey, whenever I patch thinkpad_acpi, it keeps saying it is in use, how do I avoid this? [17:16] TJ - MrELusiveone: It definitely has something to do with the drivers getting affected by whatever update Ubuntu performed last time. Like I said earlier, I'm not the only one who has seen this since many Ubuntu users have posted this problem in various forums [17:17] Is kubuntu gonna have the ads too? [17:17] TJ - MrELusiveone: However, the forums suggest it is a problem with IPv6 and that disabling it solves the issue... it didn't work for me though [17:17] gabe-20: Could you pastebin me the results of these commands please? "iwconfig; ip route show; cat /etc/resolv.conf" [17:17] eamon, since kubuntu does not have unity? [17:17] gabe-20 yeah and for me it was the other way around i acuatualy gained the ability to use the wifi on my notebook since their update [17:17] <^GeCk0^> <3 gubuntu [17:18] but you said you had been using ver 10.XXX right? [17:18] TJ: what's the pastbin url please? [17:18] I cant interpret the messages [17:19] !paste | gabe-20 [17:19] gabe-20: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [17:19] thank you guys :) [17:19] how do I kill thinkpad_acpi? === Guest97101 is now known as JoanMiro [17:19] gabe-20: That's it ^^^^ whilst you're there, also paste the output of "cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/default/forwarding; ip -6 r" [17:19] gabe-20 i wonder if a fresh install of the latest would solve the problem or just reinstall the old ver? [17:20] does anyone use sierra goobi 2000 5620 via wvdial, nm or anything? [17:22] TJ: sorry it took a while for obvious reasons: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1220928/ [17:24] gabe-20: OK, I see the issue. Let's try fixing it. [17:24] do any of you know how to get past: ERROR: Module thinkpad_acpi is in use [17:24] I have no idea how to shutdown the acpi temporarily so I can add a patch to the kernel [17:24] TJ: awesome... what do you think it is please? [17:24] gabe-20: Do you see a module listed with this command? "lsmod | grep ipv6" [17:25] TJ: no output for that command [17:25] missing? [17:25] :) [17:25] gabe-20: That's good [17:25] yes ;) [17:26] gabe-20: And what does this show: "uname -a" [17:26] can anyone recommend another distro for laptops? I have an HP g60, nvidia graphics. I can't have 2 windows side-by-side without 1 being blank white, and I can't work like this anymore. I love ubuntu, but I have to do my homework. [17:26] I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 with the Ubuntu supplied NVIDIA drivers for my Geforce 9800 GT. When I go into nvidia-settings and enable my 2nd monitor and click apply, it turns on and works great. Then I save the configuration to the xorg.conf file. However, when I reboot I get a message saying that the configuration is not supported and that I have to run in low graphics mode. Any idea what is wrong? [17:26] I also just posted this on askubuntu.com [17:26] TJ: Linux Study-PC 2.6.35-30-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 7 18:41:54 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux [17:27] Seven_Six_Two, this is ubuntu support [17:27] ^^ [17:27] bazhang, I know that [17:27] mikehaas763 did you use the 32bit one? [17:27] Seven_Six_Two, if you are distro shopping for something outside of ubuntu, then ##linux is a place to ask, not here [17:28] MrELusiveone, it's whatever Ubuntu uses through it's Jockey tool. I'm running 64 bit Ubuntu btw [17:28] mikehaas763 i would try the 32bit nstaller and see if the support is better [17:29] MrELusiveone, 32 bit installer for the nvidia drivers or Ubuntu? [17:29] Damn, my ext4 partition died. I used fsck and all of my files are now put in the lost and found in #99012 directories. Supposedly this happened because I didn't unmount the drive before unplugging the device. [17:29] the whole thing [17:29] if there isnt a option for a diffrent driver [17:29] Seven_Six_Two, I'd recommend OpenSUSE or Arch. Arch is really nice if you have the patience for setting up a desktop environment. [17:29] MrELusiveone, that wont solve the driver issue [17:29] Eh, I'm not moving 32 bit Ubuntu that's moving backwards lol [17:29] i knwo in some cases 64bit support is limited [17:30] MrELusiveone, thats not so [17:30] Aster, please keep on topic with ubuntu support here, thanks [17:30] gabe-20: We need to do some additional tests. The good news, you're not affected by the IPv6 issue [17:30] Aster, thanks! [17:30] TJ: sounds good [17:30] bazhang, it is, it's helping someone migrate from /UBUNTU/ to something else. :) [17:30] well for this machine I went with the 64bit instalelr but had to go for the newer video drivers to get full use of my card [17:31] gabe-20: Give me a new minutes whilst I test some options out locally here on 10.04 (Most of my machines are on 12.04 now so I have to spin up an old device) [17:31] How can I check what version of the NVIDIA drivers were installed through Jockey? [17:31] gabe-20: s/new minutes/few minutes/ [17:31] * I'm looking for if it's 32 or 64 bit [17:31] TJ: no problem, take your time [17:32] mikehaas763 my card is a nvidia too [17:32] a old 8700 one [17:33] gabe-20: When you experience the slowness, how would you describe it? when web browsing, slow to find and load pages? [17:33] mikehaas763 sometimes they offer other optional nvidia drivers [17:33] they? [17:33] yeah under system settings [17:33] its called.... [17:33] hi [17:34] additional drivers [17:34] additiotional drivers? [17:34] mikehaas763: The nvidia driver will match the kernel architecture. [17:34] lol ya [17:34] yep that worked for me [17:34] need a bit of help on g41m combo lan drivers [17:34] solved all the little video issues [17:34] TJ: everything... to make a google search, to open www.msn.com, to click on a link, anything web-related is like using a dial-up connection [17:34] TJ- Ok thanks I assumed so just wanted to make sure [17:34] but if you have mroe than one option you might have to try them till you get one that you like [17:35] they nromaly require a reboot too i think [17:35] Ya so far I've tried version current and version current post release updates I'm about to try version 173 if that doesn't work I'm going to try drivers right from NVIDIA's website [17:35] yeah i tried 173 and didnt like that one [17:35] ill look and see wich i went with [17:36] What's strange is when I enable my 2nd monitor and click apply it works great. It's after a reboot however that everything is messed up because it doesn't like my xconfiguration [17:37] carthik [17:37] mikehaas763 for me the (post-release updates) ( version current-updates) one worked [17:37] gabe-20: Have you tested the speed of downloading a single file to see what the sustained throughput is? That is a good test, because it tells us whether the issue is the line speed, or name resolution. I believe it's name resolution, but I'd like to eliminate the possibility it is throughput too. Try starting a download of an Ubuntu ISO see what speed is reported [17:38] TJ: sure, one sec pleaes [17:38] Hey guys, I just need a quick tip, I need a fast tool to measure distance in pixels, analyze image colors etc (for theming) is there a tool for that? from the top of your head? (except for gimp) [17:38] but you are using a dual head ? [17:38] mikehaas763 youa re using two cards? [17:39] gf [17:39] or is it the signle card with dual hookup?

[17:44] TJ: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1220973/ [17:45] lobhater: The solution is to list the iwlwifi driver to be unloaded at sleep so it is reloaded at resume; I recall vaguely doing it once - I think you add the module name to a file/script in /etc/pm/sleep.d/ - see if that clue helps you on Google [17:45] OpenbsdVbox: I didnt reallt understand anything.

[17:59] compdoc: how to get an HVM working in Ubuntu. From what I've derived from the overwhelming amount of information on the googles so far is that 1. You have to install the Xen hypervisor, it's a package in ubuntu. 2. You have to use some tools like XCP or Project Kronos's port of XCP to Ubuntu to manage the Xen Hypervisor. 3. You need to setup an HVM somehow to get GPU passthrough to a VM [17:59] iceweasel is web browser looking for [17:59] i chose "i don't want to connect to a wi-fi network right now" and it's never continuing.

Break the issue down a bit. If unloading the kernel module doesn't solve the issue, then it is likely to be higher up the network stack. So, look to see if wpa_supplicant is (still) running on resume ("ps -ef | grep wpa" - that is responsible for signing onto the WiFi network), check the Wifi status ("iwconfig wlan0") then check the IP layer to see if the IP address has been configured ("ifconfig wlan0"), then check [18:01] the routing ("ip route show") [18:01] Cottus, thanks much!

I dont do any hardware passthrough, and Im not sure it even works with kvm 1.0 [18:01] oh ok L3top [18:01] TJ- i shot him the link [18:01] iam using ssh -D 8080 -i key user server addres to my vps and then useing 127.0.0.1:8080 as proxy server on my browser options. i cant browse by that way. i have allowed 8080 port for servers firewal. what can be the reason of failur? [18:01] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/568090 [18:02] TJ-: ok ill try that and report back, you gonna be her for a bit? [18:02] is there a trick to adding applets to the panel in gnome-classic? alt-rightclick isn't doing anything for me [18:02] lobhater: I'd love to say "No" but...! :p [18:02] lol ok great thanks [18:03] TJ: reading :) [18:03] I'm not sure passthroughs work with KVM either which is why I want to use Xen compdoc. I have read of some success stories with xen passing through GPUs. I really want to set up an HVM that can pass through my GPU to a Windows HVM so I can play Direct3D accelerated games at near host OS performace [18:04] but not have to run Winblows as my main OS [18:04] gabe-20: If you can do the tests detailed in comment #8 of that bug-report, that would help us ascertain if the issue you're seeing is the same one [18:04] Dantevios, the best vdeo performance Ive seen is using virtualbox. I havent used xen in years, but maybe its better. dont know [18:05] gabe-20: For the bug to be the root-cause of your issue, *all* your devices would have to be using those Atheros devices with the ath5k driver [18:05] Dantevios ive been using wine+winetricks to game [18:05] Well the interface to the hardware is much closer compdoc so I imagine it would be [18:05] Seven_Six_Two: if you are using the compiz session you may need alt+super+right click , if that doesn't work you may have changed one of the metacity settings which breaks it [18:05] vbox does not use the host GPU but uses an emulated GPU. [18:05] MrELusiveone: any of the wine configuration tools do not support the games I like to play MrELusiveone. [18:06] I think wine has come a long way and is cool but still I have not had much luck with it. [18:06] Dantevios yeah you have to tweak it [18:06] what is the apt-get command that holds packages (Much like aptitude)? [18:07] how can i upgrade firefox 14 to 15.1, cant find .deb package [18:07] !pinning | Derpian you mean this? [18:07] Derpian you mean this?: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [18:07] Dantevios i had to supply dll's as needed but the options in wine makes it easy [18:07] Besides there is more than just using a hypervisor to pass through hardware to an HVM to play [18:07] Klavier: wait till they update it in the repo or go to mozillas site [18:07] that I want to do [18:08] Hello to the most Amazing OS Community !! [18:08] Klavier, what version of ubuntu are you on? [18:08] Dantevios and ive used VB and VMware before, but i like wine better [18:08] Klavier, security updates already has FF up to version 15 [18:08] Xen splits the resources of a computer so that it can use the same GPU for two different machines and ideally what I want to do MrELusiveone is forward two seperate keyboards, monitors, and mice to two different HVMs so my girlfriend and myself can share my computer to play direct3d games together [18:09] bazhang: thanks, I did not need help with pinning but the article covered holding. [18:09] Dantevios: Which is not true regarding what you want. [18:09] Description: Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS [18:09] When passing through the host GPU to a XEN VM, no other VM is able to use it - and the host isnt able to use it, too. [18:09] Thats why it is called "pass through". [18:09] Dantevios sounds like alot of demand of cpu and gpu forsure [18:09] Klavier, and its fully up to date? [18:10] yes it is ubuntu based distrubition, [18:10] Klavier, which one [18:10] actually it s backtrack [18:10] full emulation of os and game always demands more [18:10] Klavier, thats not supported here [18:10] !backtrack | Klavier [18:10] Klavier: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [18:11] I don't think that's correct bekks. From what I've read passthrough just allows the HVM to talk to the GPU directly instead of going through the host OS [18:11] Klavier backtrack is a security and networking intrusion distro [18:11] Dantevios: I know it is correct ;) [18:11] MonkeyDust, i know that iam using it as desktop too [18:11] TJ-: I am back, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1221038/ there are my results before and after. All seems fine except for the fact that I am not connected? any insight? [18:11] MrELusiveone: that's why I have a beefy enough machine that can handle it [18:12] it s war horse :P [18:12] Howso bekks? [18:12] Dantevios: Passing through an entire PCI(E) device removes the ability of the host and of other VMs to use it, since it is attached to a distinct VM exclusively. [18:12] Klavier, /join #backtrack-linux [18:12] ok [18:12] lobhater: This stands out "Tx excessive retries:38470" [18:12] Dantevios yeah i want to build my next machine with 6 cores and have 32gig ram [18:12] MrELusiveone: That would be a pretty nice machine. Mine is 4 cores and 16 gigs of ram atm [18:13] yeah ive doen ym shopping just need the $$ [18:13] :D [18:13] I'll have to look up a reference to that somewhere bekks. [18:13] TJ-: where are you seeing that after suspend? [18:13] lobhater: Before suspend. And after suspend, the interface hasn't associated with the WAP. That implicates the hardware, or wpa_supplicant [18:14] Dantevios: http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_VGA_Passthrough -- Third question. [18:14] lobhater: look in /var/log/syslog. pastebin the log entries from when the device resumed. There should be some clues. [18:15] TJ - MrELusiveone: thank you both for your time, I have some reading to go so and other things to do so I'll come back another day [18:15] bye ;) [18:15] lobhater: What is the WiFi device? USB dongle? internal PCI? [18:15] gabe-20: Good luck! [18:15] Thanks bekks [18:15] That's dissappointing [18:15] hope he has better luck [18:16] internal PCI, although I have also tried a usb alpha adapter and had the same issues [18:18] new ubuntu room #pardus [18:18] new ubuntu room #pardus [18:18] new ubuntu room #pardus [18:18] denaz: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[18:23] lobhater: up to line 300 it looks good [18:23] you might remember yesterday I was lamenting very slow ubuntu, and I attributed it to Firefox, and I was right: if you're running Firefox Ad Blocker, turn it off, disable it, get rid of it because that's wot was causing the problem for me. [18:23] yea i agress [18:23] it seems so graceful [18:24] If I drag a window so it's partially off the bottom of the screen [18:24] lobhater: Then it keeps hitting "[ 4342.296739] iwlwifi 0000:07:00.0: Queue 0 stuck for 2000 ms" and forces hardware resets which don't clear the error [18:24] and then mouse over the "window list" applet, [18:24] TJ-: i also think it might be kernel: [ 4331.454698] hp_wmi: Unknown event_id - 10 - 0x1 [18:25] but I cant find out what that is [18:25] The window jumps back to the bottom of the screen.

[18:30] wow thats two ghosts i have on here now [18:30] bekks: so imho, it can only be something in the chain from vbox to the harddrives [18:31] yea last night i tried different kernels with no luck [18:31] grimeton: In that case, all Ubuntu hosts should have that problem, which they dont. [18:31] it seems that xchat likes to crash sometimes when opening a weblink from chat [18:31] bekks: so how does that answer help me now?

[18:32] any idea how to remove a ghost from here? i forget [18:32] bekks: http://imgur.com/Mo2eT [18:32] grimeton: The answer helps you in that way, that you know that it isnt a general Ubuntu problem. [18:32] Nightpenguin: what window manager are you using? [18:32] bekks: yeah, it has to be something different ... [18:32] TJ-: i know nothing about that subject. is there something I could do yo forced that to occur without restart? [18:32] odinsbane: X [18:32] lobhater: Try rebooting, access the GRUB boot menu, edit the kernel command-line and add "iwlwifi.wd_disable=1" ... boot and test through a suspend/resume cycle.

[18:32] Nightpenguin: which ubuntu are you using [18:33] odinsbane: 12.04.1 LTS [18:33] lobhater: If that does work you can add the setting as a default to the boot menus via /etc/default/grub and then doing an update-grub [18:33] Nightpenguin: with unity?

[18:35] Nightpenguin: so you submit a bug? and then you ran apport #bug-number ? [18:35] grimeton: Have you checked the max. throughput of your disks in Ubuntu? Have you checked the throughput of a VM when just using a livecd in a VM and doing the same tests as on your host? [18:36] odinsbane: No, I meant "ubuntu-bug". Which said to go to the tech support page. [18:36] bekks: i don't need to test that, to see that it is slow with ubuntu 12.04 lts [18:37] Well, I cant see that here.

[18:58] no [18:58] bastard netflix [18:59] agreed, but lets keep the language clean :) [18:59] shouldn't using an open-source implementation of silverlight technically allow it to work? [19:00] SilverSlimer: simplest way is to install windows in a VM and use netflix that way. [19:00] simplest? alright [19:00] lol [19:00] no it doesnt, but if you install a VM software then install windows then use windows it will work lol [19:01] that is so ridiculous though. why would netflix want to LIMIT its audience?

[21:18] Nope Meris I have no idea at all it could be Compiz [21:18] HoNgOuRu: you probably have some situation where a directory with the same name already exists and you're trying to replace it with a different directory.

[22:09] thanks enyc I'm gonna follow those instructions [22:10] the nameservers work for my mac fine, I just ran dig google.com@ns [22:10] zykotick9, X also handles all your pointers etc. I've added AutoAddDevices to one instance now. will see what that does [22:10] ubottu: why does grub from ubuntu 12.04 say its v1.99 ? [22:10] maicod: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:10] oops [22:10] Hey all.... I have a problem! -> eth0 is not showing in ifconfig -a [22:10] k4r1m, surely you know how to make an extra entry in your network manager? It's done through the GUI. [22:10] k4r1m: Well, it looks to me as if the Cisco VPN client has messed with the system's resolver configuration and not put it back when the VPN was disconnected. For now, edit /etc/resolv.conf and change it. Remove the 'domain' line, and have a single entry for "nameserver 127.0.01" - remove all other 'nameserver' entries. You'll need root permissions to edit that file: Alt+F2 then "gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf" [22:10] zykotick9: it was a question to you :) [22:10] I can see an interface with lspci -v [22:10] Freeaqingme: yex, X in responsible for input devices, but not really the devices themselves (even in that case) [22:11] TJ-: will that give me a problem when I go to work? === enchilado is now known as enchilado|status [22:11] zykotick9, ah, right. I prolly wasnt specific enough. I meant my pointer on my usb keyboard, sorry === enchilado|status is now known as enchilado [22:12] Freeaqingme: do you want multiple pointers? if so, that could be a BIG issue... [22:12] but no ethX in dmesg |grep 'eth' [22:12] k4r1m: That's how it should be. It sounds to me as if the Cisco VPN client replaces the system settings when it connects, but at least once, didn't bother putting things back when it disconnected. Maybe it didn't close the connection gracefully last time [22:12] zykotick9, I've seen setups with 1 pc and 3 monitors + 3 mouses used by 3 separate people. I however use bumblebee, and attach the second X serverinstance to the first one. So as long as all pointers are 'mounted' to the first instance I'm fine [22:13] and I think I got it working now, will have to see ;) [22:13] Best 73,s k4rlm [22:13] Freeaqingme: multi-seat is possible. just NOT something i can help with! i tried for like 20 minutes once, years ago - then quickly gave up ;) [22:13] anyone knows why grub from ubuntu 12.04 say its v1.99 ? [22:13] TJ-: alright, there seems to be a resolv.conf.vpnbackup and a resolvconf folder [22:14] Freeaqingme: i don't have any of the hybrid-video card hardware - not something i've played with. multiple X sessions is though ;) [22:14] maicod: hrrm im not sure grub2 has even been known as "2.0" its alwas like 1.9 1.99 1.9999 ;-) maybe one day ;-) [22:15] k4r1m, Nice, so at least the cisco app bothered to make a backup of your original settings first. [22:15] resolv.conf.vpnbackup is a link to ../run/resolv/resolv.conf [22:15] k4r1m: The system does have an /etc/resolvconf/ with several ".d" sub-directories for configuration files used for when the resolver changes [22:15] Meris: Knowing Cisco, it'll be a back-up of the Cisco settings :p [22:15] but the actuall file doesn't exist [22:15] enyc: ah heheh thats what I found weird that its called v2 and it still says 1.99xxxx [22:16] I also can't see eth0 in Network Tools..... [22:16] Hey, I was wondering how I can install/enable PHP's PDO for MySQL on Ubuntu 12.04. [22:16] TJ-: it's a link to a file that doesn't exist... [22:16] enyc, quantal provides 2.00 ;) [22:16] k4r1m: [ i can't help you ] but are you using 12.10? if so, resolv.conf is deprecated... you're having "internet/DNS" issues right? are you using N-M? if so, resolv.conf wouldn't help anyways (i believe) [22:16] k4r1m: Bad Cisco! bug #1000244 [22:16] Launchpad bug 1000244 in resolvconf (Ubuntu) "/etc/resolv.conf symlink does not exist after initial installation of resolvconf package" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1000244 [22:16] k4r1m: sorry s/12.10/12.04/ !!! [22:17] TJ-, you might be right on that... [22:17] maicod: that said it appears "grub-2.00" has been releasetd more recently... after 12.04 [22:17] maicod: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grub/ look at the dates/times [22:17] zykotick9: I'm on 12.04, resolv.conf is deprecated? [22:17] k4r1m: yes [22:17] k4r1m: are you using Network-Manager? [22:17] yup [22:17] k4r1m: double-yes [22:18] TJ-: I just set it back again, but like I said this is a fresh install. I have absoltuely no idea why it would be going back to dynamic. You saw my config. :) [22:18] I'm lost here, zykotick9 TJ- Meris you are all saying different things >.< [22:18] Auckla: I didn't see an answer when I asked whether you meant that the file "/etc/network/interfaces" was being changed? [22:19] Hey all.. so I am having an odd issue... my computer (running 12.04.1) seems to suddenly power off from time to time. My first thought was that it was overheating, but the temp never seems to get above 47 C ... any ideas? [22:19] zykotick9: LIAR [22:19] it works now [22:19] k4r1m: sorry (i don't see either TJ- or Meris's comments to you - so i don't know what you're hearing) but resolv.conf is deprecated in 12.04 and most of it's setting have been moved to /etc/network/interfaces (i believe!). certainly don't follow ANY of my advice without confirmation from someone in the channel. === Youri is now known as YBook [22:20] k4r1m: LIAR - i don't think so. resolv.conf is deprecated. [22:20] well I just edited resolv.conf and its working again [22:20] I didn't touch /etc/network/interfaces [22:20] let me reboot maybe ur right [22:20] k4r1m: reboot. [22:20] TJ-: I was not asking if the file was beign changed. I was asking why the interface was changing to a dynamic address when clearly the config file stated it was static. [22:21] TJ-: I showed you my config to get your confirmation that it was correct. [22:21] k4rim, rebooting should not be necessary, restarting the networking service should suffice. [22:21] Auckla: do you use Network-Manager? if so, it has a conf file? where? [22:21] No, this is all CLI. [22:22] Auckla: can you re-pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces for me then? [22:22] Meris: well I think thats where the problem is coming from, my machine always hangs on shutddown/reboot I have to hold down the power.. and I believe it's coming from network cifs mounts in fstab which only connect at work [22:22] or when the vpn is connected [22:22] Auckla: I realise that, but I was wanting to be clear that it wasn't the file changing, but just the interface settings. As you have the entry in 'interfaces' file, Network Manager should not be managing the interface, so we ought to be able to rule out NM as the cause. Which leaves us to speculate on what is installed that would call "ifconfig" to change things [22:23] TJ-: I see. [22:24] Buy the way gentlemen I mean to communicate with you with all sincerity, and there is no spite or cynical sarcastic atitude here. :) [22:24] zykotick9: One second. [22:24] TJ-: would you have any advice on that? [22:24] enyc: ah I missed your message. LOL so 12.04 is too old. maybe 12.04.1 has it :) [22:24] Hey, I was wondering how I can install/enable PHP's PDO for MySQL on Ubuntu 12.04. I'm getting the fol'owing error: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDOException' with message 'could not find driver [22:24] zykotick9: still working... :D [22:25] zykotick9: http://pastebin.com/dyDKiGNn [22:25] maybe just 12.10?? [22:25] Auckla: In these cases I often do a 'grep' of the entire "/etc/" directory structure! I'd be looking for scripts calling 'ifconfig' and any mention of the interface name "eth0" too - so e.g. "sudo egrep '(eth0|ifconfig}' /etc/* " [22:25] k4r1m: nice. good luck. [22:25] zykotick9: I'll sure need it [22:25] Auckla: looks good to me. no idea why it would change to dhcp? [22:26] It's wierd. [22:26] Meris: about that account thing, it's in the network manager GUI? [22:27] Auckla: i'm not sure about process name but does "ps aux | grep -i network-manager" return anything? [22:27] This is a fresh install of server. [22:27] k4r1m: I think the Cisco client is the issue when it encounters unusual circumstances. Probably doesn't clean up gracefully after itself. I'd also think you should have a script in "/etc/network/if-down.d/" that unmounts CIFS mounts when the VPN interface is downed [22:28] Auckla: check /var/log/syslog - that's where interface-related reports usually end up [22:28] k4rim, I'm not talking about accounts here, just entries. You can have any amount of separate settings for a network interface, that can be switched at your leisure. This does not remedy the default cifs mounts in fstab of course. [22:28] zykotick9: No. [22:28] TJ-: Looking. [22:29] TJ-, Meris : I'm not entirely sure how the cisco client works, I was told it creates another interface and routes everything [22:29] Dhclient is running. [22:29] I have to turn that off I bet..... [22:30] Auckla: But why is it starting? what does this show? "ps -efly | grep dhclient" [22:31] I think network-manager is running. [22:31] k4r1m, sound like an ancient TAP/TUN setup to me. If that's true, you can just select your eth0 proper, with zero settings in the VPN tab, unless the Cisco VPN client is more intrusive than it should be. Given your descriptions of other network config files, this seems to be the case here. [22:31] ep 22 06:42:22 TinGOD kernel: [54932.634550] type=1400 audit(1348321342.057:18): apparmor="STATUS" operation="profile_replace" name="/usr/lib/NetworkManage [22:32] hi [22:32] Auckla: i "believe" N-M is default on server as well as desktop... [22:32] zykotick9: Quite annoying. :P [22:32] Yeah boss the new server is up.... [22:32] Waiti yeah no its not... [22:32] Does anyone know HOW i can install cairo-compmgr? I've tried 2 different repositories and theyre both broken [22:32] Auckla: you could ask #ubuntu-server for confirmation i'm sure. [22:32] Meris: I'm going to connect to the vpn and see what changes locally in the configs [22:32] Auckla: network-manager shouldn't be installed on ubuntu-server [22:33] k4rim, make a backup copy of any suspect files before you do that. [22:33] I am told that a particular program (jar file) will run better if I try using Sun Java instead of the default Open JDK. Is there any way to download and use sun java for particular instances (I don't want it to be default or interfere with OpenJDK)? [22:33] Meris: yeah I just did that [22:33] Auckla: my network-manager i probably the wrong process name, but i didn't think nm-applet made ANY sense so didn't suggest that. [22:33] Auckla: And, even if network-manager is installed, it should refuse to manage any interface listed in "/etc/network/interfaces" [22:34] So maybe I was drunk, was quite the busy day. I joke when I say drunk. [22:34] Auckla, quite true^ [22:34] Maybe I did not put server and put desktop on this rig? [22:34] in /etc/network/interfaces "iface eth0 inet dhcp" is commented and in the already existing backup it's not... what does that do anyways? [22:34] blah [22:35] k4r1m: for one thing, using /etc/network/interfaces disables network-manager (the default networking on ubuntu)... [22:35] Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS \n \l [22:35] If it were server would it say server? [22:35] lmk if anyone wants to take a stab at that. [22:35] Issuing cat /etc/issue? [22:36] Auckla: you could try "lsb_release -a" but i don't think "server" is mentioned - maybe? [22:36] zykotick9: and where does resol.conf come into play? used by /etc/network/interfaces or network-manager or both? [22:36] k4r1m: i'm not up to speed on the current stuff! but my impression is that N-M NO LONGER uses resolv.conf in 12.04+ [22:36] So if I disable this network manager I should be good to go right? :) [22:37] Auckla: or possible the exact opposite! [22:37] Auckla: you should use N-M if you can! [22:37] cscotun0 lool [22:37] zykotick9: Is that a graphical network manager? [22:37] oioioioi [22:37] Because this is a "Headless install". [22:37] I have no GUI. [22:37] Don't need it. [22:38] Auckla: N-M can be both GUI or cli (sorta on the later, wireless is an issue!) [22:38] hello ubuntu is the best os i have ever used [22:38] unity rocks [22:38] Auckla: network-manager is a service [22:38] lol [22:38] This is for server. [22:38] HUD is the best thing in linux [22:38] Meris, TJ- : connected and it just changed /etc/resolv.conf to with the weird nameservers [22:38] I guess I will learn how to use network manager then. [22:38] !ot | spatrypcbsdcamp [22:38] spatrypcbsdcamp: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [22:39] ot = old testament [22:39] ? [22:39] OffTopic [22:39] lol === wilee-nilee is now known as yahweh [22:39] Auckla: On a sever with non-changing interfaces you should simply use /etc/network/interfaces. An entry in that file tells network-manager not to manage that particular interface [22:39] ppl join #ubuntu-offtopic lets talk abt unity it is a revolution in linux === yahweh is now known as wilee-nilee [22:39] and everything else is untouched [22:40] Hi guys.. I am told that a particular program (jar file) will run better if I try using Sun Java instead of the default Open JDK. Is there any way to download and use sun java for particular instances (I don't want it to be default or interfere with OpenJDK)? [22:40] TJ-: You saw my config. [22:40] That is what I am using [22:40] How do I go about controlling my case fan speeds in ubuntu? [22:41] TJ-: This is a server with non changing interfaces. The file interfaces is configuered. Yet I come back fours later and it is on DHCP and it has done this twice now. [22:41] Unless one more question and I will leave you guys alone. [22:41] NM. [22:41] !java | Maksim [22:41] Maksim: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [22:42] Well just clicked over to one day, so I know it is not restarting. [22:42] Auckla: I know. So there's something misconfigured somewhere. As I said earlier, if N-M is managing the interface you'll see copious messages in /var/log/syslog when it does. Try a "grep eth0 /var/log/syslog" and see if that helps you understand what's doing it [22:42] Meris, TJ- : upon disconnection it reverted resolv.conf back... [22:42] zykotick9 why would you think that answered my question? [22:42] so thanks a lot guys [22:42] fuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck [22:42] unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity harderfuck unity [22:42] spatrypcbsdcamp: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:42] Maksim: sorry. [22:42] k4r1m: OK, so that confirms my theory that the VPN client didn't close down cleanly last time [22:43] TJ-: so how do I avoid that again? [22:43] can I just another nameserver 127.0.0.1 ? [22:43] Anyone know how to control fan speeds? [22:43] TJ- is a genius, guys. [22:43] k4r1m: lol [22:43] add* [22:43] k4rim, glad to see that it works again for you. Blame Cisco for the unclean disconnect I guess. [22:44] TJ-: is a genius 2nd that [22:44] Meris: client is like 20 years old came with a lucid image [22:44] TJ-: http://pastebin.com/dfezf620 [22:44] k4rim, is there no update available for that client? [22:45] Maksim: The 'default' java launched without a path given is set by the update_alternatives system. To launch a particular version of the Java interpreter, you give its path explictly: e.g. "/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-amd64/bin/java" - you can find all the installed Java version in "/usr/lib/jvm/" [22:45] Meris: I'm afraid they would override company specific configs [22:45] that are possibly with a different format [22:46] Auckla: looking [22:46] TJ- thanks. If I install sun java it will not try to replace the openjdk and give me similar problem as when I installed the python? :) [22:46] how do i set up oidentd on ubuntu [22:47] k4rim, try asking around in your company. If you are an employee of a big company, there might be users with similar issues. [22:47] *man* [22:47] Meris: they all use windows. [22:47] Maksim: It won't replace, no, but it may try to make itself the default in the update-alternatives system. That can be changed, though, after the event [22:47] Error initializing core ._. [22:47] How do I copy to the buffer from xterm [22:48] Meris: when I asked IT to give me their linux image they gave me lucid. It was a painful upgrade especially with centrifydc [22:48] Auckla: That log-file confirms DHCP by dhclient, but doesn't show any involvement by network-manager! [22:48] TJ-: Yeah my same conclusion! :D [22:48] leaftwig: highlight the text, then leaving it highlighted, use middle click (usually roller) on mouse to paste [22:48] TJ-: So disable dhcclient right? [22:48] Auckla: I'm comparing your scenario with one of my 12.04 servers here; give me a few minutes [22:48] debian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussies [22:48] TJ-: Np. [22:48] TJ- thanks ! [22:48] debian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussies [22:48] TJ-: how did you say I can control the cifs mount again? [22:48] debian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussiesdebian and ubuntu devs are pussies [22:48] k4rim, it might be worth reading through some changelogs, to see if the upgrades to the Cisco client impact the config file structure. If not, upgrading should solve a few things... [22:49] Meris: I'll look into, thanks ! [22:49] Auckla: If there is a syntax error in /etc/network/interfaces, that might explain the issue. I'm checking that now [22:49] k4r1m: I think the Cisco client is the issue when it encounters unusual circumstances. Probably doesn't clean up gracefully after itself. I'd also think you should have a script in "/etc/network/if-down.d/" that unmounts CIFS mounts when the VPN interface is downed [22:50] * TJ- loves command buffer history :p [22:51] TJ-: and how about automatic mount upon connection to to that interface? [22:53] k4r1m: A script in "/etc/network/if-up.d/" - maybe the scripts should grep "/etc/fstab" looking for CIFS mounts with the IP-range of your VPN. That'd make it cleanly work even if you have your own local CIFS mounts [22:54] TJ-: we are speaking about bash scripts here right? [22:54] and do I just create a new file it will automatically run it? [22:55] so i have a server at home and always want it to have the same ip address because i have to set up port forwarding to be able to access its services from the internet. is there a way to have it request an ip address from the dhcp daemon on the router? i would like a good resource and not just hand fed the answer if possible. i have search but all the help i have found DOESNT help lol [22:55] k4r1m: yes, a shell script [22:55] TJ-: where do I put it? [22:55] lobhater, your ISP is probably going to change your home modems ip. you can use a dynamic dns provider [22:56] lobhater: see if your router supports handing out the same IP based on MAC address (most do) - sorry now resources. [22:56] lobhater: Just configure a static IP from your router's LAN on your server. [22:56] yea i have that set up on the router to update its ip address [22:56] escott: i was under the impression this was on the intranet side. [22:56] but when the router or server restart the ip forwrading ip address doesnt always match the servers ip address and ihave to be home to fix it. [22:57] lobhater, in either case its a configuration within your router you have to change [22:57] k4r1m: in the control directories under /etc/network/ - there's several named for when they are run. All scripts within the directories are run when the named event occurs [22:57] lobhater: if your router doesn't have MAC/DHCP reserving - use a static IP on your server. [22:57] there is no option to assign ips to a specific mac. that wa my first thought [22:57] use a static ip [22:57] TJ-: awesome thanks [22:57] lobhater: Why dont you configure a static IP? [22:58] *im one to talk* lol [22:58] so lets say i have the dhcp client pool from 192.168.2.1-100 [22:58] lobhater, in that case they usually start the dynamic ips at ****.100 so you can make static at 2,3,4 up to 99 [22:58] i would have my server requst 192.168.0.201 for example? [22:58] lobhater: No. You have to configure a static IP. [22:58] bekks: +1 [22:58] is my router gonna be ok assigning an ip address outside the client pool? [22:58] TJ-: Figured it out. [22:59] lobhater: Are you ignoring me? [22:59] no hes typing [22:59] bekks: i didnt see what u said, give me a min [22:59] this chan is so jumbled [22:59] Auckla: you have?! [22:59] help-pl0x: do you have join/parts turned off? that help quite a bit. [23:00] TJ-: Here is the story of two cities. [23:00] zykotick9: ?? [23:00] TJ-: Upon install, my other admin did DHCP for the network interface. [23:00] * TJ- is sitting comfortably [23:00] help-pl0x: do you seen when everyone in the channel JOINS and LEAVES? [23:00] ohhhh lol [23:00] Auckla: aha! light is dawning [23:00] zykotick9 [23:00] i thought u were talking about something else [23:00] TJ-: In doing so, and this machine not being restarted it. I did the network/interface thing, and then issued /etc/init.d/network restart [23:00] anyway [23:00] im not using a redl client right now [23:00] zykotick9 : how do u turn that off? [23:01] real* [23:01] in using webchat [23:01] help-pl0x: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:01] xchat is nice tho [23:01] woah woah woah [23:01] TJ-: However, the DHCCLIENT was still running int he background. Once lease time was up, boom it was over riding everything and going back to DHCP. [23:01] lobhater: i can only help with irssi, 'cause i know the !quite-irssi factoid [23:01] im not flooding i type fastmofo'in bot [23:01] !quite-irssi factoid [23:01] lobhater: oh sorry - got you confused with help-pl0x [23:01] !quite-irssi [23:02] zykotick9: thats me.... [23:02] zykotick9: in a different room [23:02] !quietirssi [23:02] To ignore joins, parts, quits in irssi: /ignore #ubuntu +JOINS +PARTS +QUITS [23:02] Auckla: Simple when you know how :p [23:02] /ignore #ubuntu +JOINS +PARTS +QUITS [23:02] TJ-: Inbarrasing, I have been doing this for a long long time. :P [23:02] omg [23:02] lobhater: that only works with the irssi client - are you using it? [23:02] i guess not lol [23:03] empathy [23:03] Auckla: It's a sign it's been toooooo long! :d [23:03] lobhater: lol. so NOT an irc client at all. best of luck to you. [23:03] anyways [23:04] bekks: what did u recommend? [23:04] lobhater: Configure a static IP instead messing around with static DHCP leases. [23:04] hell of a day, thanks boy and girls TJ- Meris zykotick9 [23:05] Anyone have a problem with nvidia settings not staying after reboot? [23:05] i would do that through a script on the client side or router side? [23:05] lobhater: You do it ONCE on your server. [23:06] k4k4rim, glad to help :-) [23:06] k4rim, glad to help :-) [23:06] bustacap: How do you mean? [23:06] what is the best irc client? [23:07] so i can get rid of all of this join exit craop [23:07] TJ-, I'll change the fan speed in the nvidia settings app, and when I reboot, it goes back to 30 (default). [23:08] lobhater: xchat is popular gui irc client. irssi/weechat for cli. [23:08] Anybody hear of the #ubuntu Amazon advertising thing yet? http://cloudfront.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/unity-shopping-results.jpg [23:09] !ot | DeltaHeavy [23:09] DeltaHeavy: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [23:09] lobhater, that depends on your personal preferences. I use XChat on GUI's , irssi on CLI's. [23:09] bustacap: I'm not aware that nvidia-settings saves that option. Look in ~/.nvidia-settings-rc [23:09] well im gonna try it, brb [23:10] Weechat has 'smart' filters for parts/join/quits - so if someone says somting, then quits. I see that.. if someone just enters, never says anything then quits.. i dont see that. ;) [23:10] weechat can also toggle/show all the hidden info with a keycombo. [23:11] Dr_willis: i'm glad in included weechat as a suggestion (as i've never used it myself) [23:11] s/in/i/ [23:11] TJ-, It's not saved in that file. Is there a way to add it? [23:12] bustacap: not that I know of - probably best to check the Nvidia nvforums for a definitive answer [23:12] TJ-, Ok. Thanks. [23:14] Please, I need help right now.. I'm using openbox interface and lxpanel on my ubuntu installation, I'm trying to connect to a wifi connection that it can see, but it simply won't open it from lxpanel.. I don't care for the panel just need the connection right now, how do I go about ? [23:16] Hello all! [23:16] is there a way to turn off "joined / exit" messages in xchat? [23:17] lobhater_: right click the channel on the left side, hide join/parts is somewhere in the options [23:17] how do i set up oidentd on ubuntu, error initializing core [23:18] how do i find out how meny cols and rows the current terminal is using? [23:18] zykotick9: thank you so much [23:18] lobhater_: glad to help [23:19] Suppose I have a user called "auser", and this user is a member of the "asdf" group (but not of "users"), can I restrict "auser" to only accesing the contents of one folder? (i.e. /something) [23:19] any way to turn it off in empathy? [23:19] My question: it's possible , google earth witch linux ubuntu 12.04 ? [23:19] lol [23:20] f1ccc: yes [23:20] Maksim, turn what off? [23:20] enter/exit in this channel messages [23:20] Show join/part messages [23:20] dont care about who is entering and leaving [23:20] f1ccc: http://www.google.com/earth/download/ge/agree.html [23:20] Maksim, most there settings/ or plugins for that client. [23:20] lobhater: As bekks said, on the server configure a static IP address in "/etc/network/interfaces". The address should be one on the router's sub-net, but outside of the DHCP pool it allocates from. That is the *proper* way to configure a server. Your router's port-forwarding rules never need to change after that. [23:21] people tend to overlook the 'plugins' settings.. [23:21] ok for http...thanks very much [23:21] TJ-: as usual I will try and get back to you, thanks [23:22] Hi, I just recently installed kubuntu and kde asked me for permission to allow network manager to access kde wallet. i accidentally clicked deny forever. Where do I go to undo this? [23:22] lobhater_: Like Auckla earlier... make sure to stop the dhclient - or reboot the server - otherwise when the lease expires it'll change the static IP to a DHCP lease :) [23:22] merci graingerl! [23:23] beaty, is this bill? [23:23] so just service dhcp3 stop ? [23:23] ill look it up [23:24] Anyone know about adjusting fan speeds for fans attached to psu? [23:24] lobhater_: no. I think you have to do "ifdown ethX" to lose the DHCP client, then "ifup ethX" with the static configuration [23:24] ok, reading about setting up static ip npw [23:24] *now [23:25] bustacap: unless the fan is on a PWM controller that is controlled by GPIO lines from the motherboard, no [23:25] Actually it appears that empathy doesn't handle this setting and it has no plugins supported [23:25] Perhaps I should try pidgin or something [23:25] TJ-, what exactly is a PWM controller? Is that a fan port on a motherboard? [23:26] Maksim: bug #660176 [23:26] Launchpad bug 660176 in empathy (Ubuntu) "empathy needs ability to hide join/part messages in IRC" [Wishlist,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/660176 [23:26] bustacap: PWM = Pulse Width Modulator. It's how we digitally control fan speeds by sending varying width pulses [23:26] beaty open Kickoff and type kwallet then find the application under 'acces control' [23:26] bustacap: generally, only 4-wire fans have the capability [23:27] TJ-, all my fans are 4 wire fans, but they are hooked up to the power supply, and not to the motherboard. Are those unchangeable? === Justasic2 is now known as Justasic [23:28] bustacap: Does the PSU have multiple PWM controllers that you can program? [23:28] oerheks i dont think i have a kickoff installed [23:28] beaty kickof = kde icon at the bottom bar [23:28] oh [23:28] lol [23:28] TJ-, I'm not sure :/ I don't really know much about this kinda stuff. [23:28] hoover over it, and it shows the name [23:29] i see. and where do i find access control? [23:30] beaty are you in kwallet? [23:30] well i think i set up a static correctly, now to test it out though. see you guys on the flip side [23:30] No, I realized that it wasnt kwallet i denied - it was the network manager attempting to access kwallet [23:31] Suppose I have a user called "auser", and this user is a member of the "asdf" group (but not of "users"). Can I restrict all users in group "asdf" (including "auser") to only be able to access the contents of one folder? (i.e. /something) I don't want "auser" (or anyone else in the "asdf" group) to have even read access to any folders other than /something. [23:31] I think i'll go ask in the forums now. [23:31] beaty still the same i guess, to allow network manager acces like you want to. [23:31] lobhater_, you can hide join/part messages for all channels, too. using "/set irc_conf_mode on" and "/gui apply" https://toxin.jottit.com/xchat_tips_&_tricks#09 [23:31] catlover2: well you usually want them to have a shell and such [23:32] I need some help [23:32] hi, i'm lookng for oprofile, but apparently it's not or no longer in precise? [23:32] Jrib: erm yes, I forgot about that [23:32] I tried to upgrade to Xubuntu [23:32] with the instructions in http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfceoneiric [23:33] Long story short, it broke my packages and now I can't install ubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop [23:33] What should I do? [23:33] i still dont see this access control youre talking about [23:33] Cosman246: what happens when you try...? [23:33] sudo apt-get install -f doesn't work [23:33] neither does sudo apt-get remove -f [23:33] or dpkg -i --configure -a [23:33] beaty kwallet starts in 1st screen "wallet preferences"and 2nd "access control" [23:34] Cosman246: use a pastebin instead of saying "doesn't work" [23:34] jrib: does that mean I have to manually set permissions on every folder within / that I don't want "auser" to access? [23:34] tomreyn, From the web it has been removed from Precise. [23:34] i see i see [23:34] tomreyn: http://askubuntu.com/questions/137860/why-is-there-no-oprofile-in-12-04 seems related [23:35] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1221533/ [23:35] awesome [23:35] empathy is still way better even with all of the join/part messages [23:35] i guess that should work - gotta disconnect to test. Thanks so much oerheks! [23:35] thanks chop + wilee-nilee [23:35] tomreyn: oprofile was removed from Debian due to being unmaintained. See Debian bug #653168 [23:35] Debian bug 653168 in ftp.debian.org "RM: oprofile - unmaintained, replacements exist, buggy, low popcon" [Normal,Open] http://bugs.debian.org/653168 === romy_420 is now known as coinandable [23:35] Cosman246, Not sure what you mean by upgrade that is just a desktop enviroment change. [23:36] and thanks to you, too TJ [23:36] The problem still stands [23:36] Hi room i need some help [23:36] catlover2: depends on what exactly you want to do [23:37] Cosman246, Were you or are you running 11.10? [23:37] Yes I am [23:37] jrib: what other methods could be used? [23:37] Cosman246: run « sudo apt-get update » [23:37] I am im on ubuntu 12.04 and my browsers barely load the internet and im on highspeed wifi [23:38] I think I tried that, but I can do it again [23:38] catlover2: ssh chroot jail, using a restricted shell; I'm not too familiar with any more options [23:38] Cosman246, If you can give a more indepth explanation of where you are it might help, be sure to include the nick of who you're talning to when you are. [23:38] Nope, doesn't work [23:38] *sigh* [23:38] guess i cant ge thelp [23:38] jrib: OK, that's some more googling material at least. thanks. [23:39] wilee-nilee: what info would be relevant here? [23:39] Cosman246, Have you looked at yout apt/sources.list have you changed it perchance [23:39] Cosman246: pastebin « apt-cache policy xubuntu-desktop software-center zenity; sudo apt-get install software-center » [23:40] jrib: OK [23:40] wilee-nilee: I looked at it [23:40] In fact, I decided to remove the PPAs and try everything again before coming here [23:41] who can help me identify a song? it's an rap song and a woman is singing in the chorus : "It's in my blood"... [23:41] Hello. [23:41] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1221540/ [23:41] hello Zah_ [23:41] jrib: there it is [23:41] !ot | ale [23:41] ale: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [23:41] I am trying to underclock my CPU by writing a value to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_setspeed [23:41] However, the value does not seem to stick. [23:42] Cosman246, There is a sentence that says in sure to be safe backup your setup did you do that? [23:42] wilee-nilee: No, and therein lies a fault [23:42] Anyone know what might cause this? Or another way of underclocking my CPU? [23:43] Cosman246, Ah I hope you get kit fixed, but a clone of your OS goes a long way, personally I use clonezilla on every install. [23:43] it* [23:43] wilee-nilee: thanks [23:43] as for what now, what now? [23:43] well i think the static IP worked, thanks everyone TJ- and others [23:43] Cosman246: what's your « sudo apt-get install -f » output? [23:44] jrib: for software-center, xubuntu, or what? [23:44] Cosman246: for just that [23:44] software-center? [23:44] oh [23:44] Cosman246: what's your « sudo apt-get install -f » output? [23:44] Yeah, I'll put that up [23:45] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1221544/ [23:45] Cosman246: keep following the rabbit then... sudo apt-get install gir1.2-webkit-3.0 [23:45] jrib: doesn't work, let me pastebin [23:46] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1221545/ [23:46] Cosman246: yes none of these will work :) [23:46] plz someone i need help [23:46] :( [23:46] destinylovezu: what is it? [23:46] Cosman246: you typed it wrong [23:47] ah [23:47] i have high speed wifi and my browsers are barely loading the web pages,i have to click numerous times and often get the network connection error [23:47] but its still connected and other things are still working [23:47] destinylovezu, Complaing and asking for help in the first 10 min will have a number of people just ignoring you just a heads help. [23:47] jrib: similar problem [23:47] oh sorry [23:47] as the others [23:47] Cosman246: I know. I care about the output [23:47] OK [23:48] Can someone explain to me why at the end of this command it says 'to be written' for a driver that's installed? http://pastebin.com/NhhZhcFA [23:48] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1221557/ [23:48] whaaaa? im installing ubuntu alternate and C is one of the languages? xD [23:48] what does that mean?:P [23:48] Cosman246: apt-cache policy libwebkitgtk-3.0-0 [23:48] is this not a ubuntu assistance room? [23:49] Cosman246: jrib The held package is likely a result of a PPA or other non-standard archive. It might be worth checking for PPAs and/or doing "apt-get dist-upgrade" [23:49] TJ- I removed all PPAs from my sources.list [23:49] frankdrey-pc, i don't know what is your need [23:50] frankdrey-pc: When a locale isn't defined then the locale is set to 'C' which means whatever glibc uses by default - that's usually ASCII [23:50] Cosman246, Are there any PPA's in the etc/apt/sources.list.d [23:50] ah okay :P i was thinking it was gonna give me everything in C source code or something xD thanks TJ- [23:50] Hmm, I haven't read that one before [23:50] Let me pastebin the results [23:50] Cosman246: But that may be the problem - if you've previously installed packages that are later versions than those in the main archives, the main archive packages may not be able to install since their dependenices specify older versions [23:51] frankdrey-pc: That'd be something cool :p [23:51] TJ- shit, I'll have to give up emacs24 and racket [23:51] Thanks, though [23:51] wilee-nilee: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1221560/ [23:51] Cosman246: As jrib is taking you through it, he's likely to help you pin-down and manually correct each broken/held package [23:53] Cosman246, looks like natty and oneric in there. [23:53] wilee-nilee: indeed [23:54] jrib: so what's your advice? [23:54] Cosman246: apt-cache policy libwebkitgtk-3.0-0 [23:54] jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1221567/ [23:55] Cosman246: As far as I can see, those Elementary* PPAs introduced packages for the ElementaryOS, a different distro to Ubuntu [23:55] Cosman246: this is your issue; that package likely belonged to a ppa you disabled [23:55] jrib: hm, thanks [23:55] SCosman246, You can run a purge and have it removed along with the packages from them, not sure if that is a fix though in the end, I think the theory of pckgs that just don't sync for a reinstal of a full desktop makes sense though. If it was me since I don't keep much in my OS's I would do a fresh install setup it and clone it then twek till it breaks again, but thats me. [23:55] How do I go about removing them? [23:56] Cosman246: just remove that package (read to make sure it doesn't take anything you want with it), but removing webkit should not be too bad [23:56] jrib: which one [23:56] Cosman246: libwebkitgtk-3.0-0 [23:56] OK, thanks [23:57] Cosman246, Here is an older refrence to purging PPA's, http://bigbrovar.aoizora.org/index.php/2010/01/10/how-to-safely-remove-ppa-repository-from-ubuntu/ [23:57] jrib: here http://paste.ubuntu.com/1221571/ [23:57] Cosman246: can you pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list [23:58] Cosman246: umm, did you run that multiple times or something? === unless_ is now known as unless [23:58] TJ- : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1221574/ [23:58] jrib: ...hopefully [23:58] Cosman246: ok, because otherwise it would make little sense... === david__ is now known as gopher2x [23:59] jrib: if we go by that assumption, what next? [23:59] Cosman246: I think you should be ok now; I'm assuming you had the webkit ppa enabled. Do this: dpkg -l '*webkit*' | grep '^ii' [23:59] hehe a mix of distros that is not good
