GH0What does amp do in a bash script? Similar to one like this: [ ! -d $ZONEROOT ] && /bin/mkdir -p $ZONEROOT03:14
GH0I have been looking at iptables scripts that block an IP by country using zones, but this one keeps having issues at the &&amp03:15
GH0The entire script can be found here: http://www.linuxstall.com/block-country-iptables/03:17
OerHeksGH0, & is printed as &03:20
OerHeksampersant03:21
OerHeksand && is the connection for 2 commands on 1 line03:22
GH0Okay. What would I need to to do fix the script then? Because right now, it is doing this: Documents/scripts/block_country.sh: 31: Documents/scripts/block_country.sh: Syntax error: "&" unexpected03:23
GH0If I remove the &'s I get this: http://pastebin.com/YifEyiPr03:24
GH0Or, is there a better way to go about blocking ip's by country ranges?03:24

teodiHi, is it possible to change the transparency of the main panel in kde4? I can't seem to find it, I'd like to change it to opaque, I don't want to see my wallpaper behind the panel...13:38
Peace-teodi: well you can14:05
Peace-teodi: i mean you need to create your own theme i guesss14:05
teodiPeace-: can't I just modify the existing theme?14:06
Peace-teodi: well you can14:06
Peace-but you need to edit a file14:06
avihayor look into plasmate14:06
Peace-avihay: ?14:07
Peace-teodi: $HOME/.kde/share/apps/desktoptheme/TransparentDarkWallpapersNowardev/widgets/panel-background.svgz    this for example is the location of the file for theme Transparen dark wallpers nweradev14:08
avihayplasmate should enable you to create/edit themes among other things, I tried playing with ver 0.0.1, crashed alot, didn't try since14:09
phoenix_firebrdhello everyone14:10
Peace-avihay: plasmate in terminal gives program not found14:10
avihayya, you need to download it...14:11
Peace-avihay: unable to locate plasmate debian package14:12

Peace-phoenix_firebrd: i dunno maybe loading kernel with some special congigs14:14

Peace-avihay: tx14:14
Peace-phoenix_firebrd: you need to search on wiki \ google14:14

Peace-teodi:  if youi have calligra office suite you shoukld be able to edit it14:15
Peace-teodi: or another svg editor14:15
avihaythere are also inkscape and karbon that should be able to edit .svg14:16
Peace-avihay: karbon is into calligra suite14:17
Peace-teodi: but you can even mix some themes ...14:18
Peace-teodi: http://wstaw.org/m/2012/09/23/plasma-desktopEu9796.png14:19

avihayI think you have to git clone it14:31
phoenix_firebrdBluesKaj: i will do that now14:31
Peace-avihay: ah....... cry14:31
BluesKajin power management >energy saving , 180 mins in the "dim display" option unless of course you use a laptop14:33
phoenix_firebrdBluesKaj: wow, that worked, thank you very much. Should i file a bug report?14:33
BluesKajphoenix_firebrd, you can if you want , but I'm sure it's a duplicate by now14:34
avihayPeace-:  there was atleast one GSoC project to make Plasmate ready for the wider public, so it will be out in a few years14:34
* avihay is optimistic14:35

Thecaptain2000hi, I need to install a new hd, unfortunatly, being a sata 3 it need to take place of one of the existing hd  who will need to be attached to a different port (being a sata2). Now,  those hd that need to be moved are being mounted to / and to /home, which means I will need to change some configurations. can anybody tell me what conf file need to be changed? I can think of  /etc/fstab, anything else?15:10
BluesKajphoenix_firebrd, I'm not happy with having to use pulseaudio , but nobody listens since it was implemented by an influentail developer who had mark Shuttleworth's ear back on 9.04 when it became dewfault15:11
phoenix_firebrdThecaptain2000: whats your kubuntu version?15:11
Thecaptain200012.0415:11
phoenix_firebrdBluesKaj: ok15:12
phoenix_firebrdThecaptain2000: new install?15:12
Thecaptain2000ideally nope15:12
Thecaptain2000I mean, I do not want to reinstall anything15:12
Thecaptain2000I am just adding some space15:12
phoenix_firebrdThecaptain2000: no did you install 12.04 or upgraded from 11.10?15:13
Thecaptain2000new install15:13
BluesKajThecaptain2000, you shouldn't have any trouble adding or changing your sata connections , just run sudo blkid on each kubuntu install and make sure they all show up in dolphin places15:14
phoenix_firebrdThecaptain2000: in that case, as far as i know, you shouldn't have to change anything, because 12.04 is using uuids15:14
phoenix_firebrdBluesKaj: thats right15:14
BluesKajphoenix_firebrd, yes , I've done it15:15
phoenix_firebrdBluesKaj: you had the same problem, i can remember15:15
Thecaptain2000BluesKaj: "on each kubuntu install" what do you mean?15:15
phoenix_firebrdThecaptain2000: no what he means is you dont have to do anything15:16
BluesKajwell, i was relying on fstab , but labelling the partitions in partition manager after running blkid worked15:16
Thecaptain2000I will shut down try it and let you know :) if I never come back  please point people looking for me in the right direction :)15:17
phoenix_firebrdThecaptain2000: if you face any problem revert back to the old setup and come here for help15:17
BluesKajThecaptain2000, if you have more than one linux OS partition15:17
Thecaptain2000BluesKaj: I do, I have / on one HD and /home in another15:18
BluesKajHDD or partition ?15:18
BluesKajThecaptain2000,^15:18
Thecaptain2000HDD, I may have a /var on a different partition15:19
Thecaptain2000in one of the two hd15:19
Thecaptain2000just went to check, that is indeed the case15:19
BluesKajhd=HDD ?15:20
BluesKajhard disk drive15:20
Thecaptain2000yes physical HDD15:20
Thecaptain2000yes15:20
Thecaptain2000we call¡em HD but I meant HDD15:20
BluesKajwhy / on one HDD , and /home on another15:21
Thecaptain2000I can see several referencies on fstab to UUID (used to be /dev/dsxx during install)15:21
Thecaptain2000which means it should work, according to what you say. DOes the same count for grub as well?15:22
Thecaptain2000does it use UUIDs too?15:22
BluesKajThecaptain2000, to find out what /dev/sdX's are run sudo fdisk -l , then you can see which devices are which with uuid15:23

decciI have a small Ubuntu network (6 user) with Ubuntu Server.  I need a disaster recovery plan and implementation for the Server (user data backups are automatic), users use the server for storing only data and using DaviCal calendar system.  Ideal would be a way to get the server backup and running remotely in the event of a hardware failure.

BluesKajThecaptain2000, have you tried nomodeset ?16:14
BluesKaj!nomodeset16:14
ubottuA 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 parameter16:14
Thecaptain2000BluesKaj: let me explain what happens exactly: I get to the graphical login screen with no problems, when I put in username and password something happens but I am sent back to the login screen. Moreover, the graphical login used to work, it went bad once I tried to install kernel 3.5 (I need to use some windows program and the rendering was very slow). abandoned  3.5 I reverted to 3.2 but then the login started actin in the16:17
Thecaptain2000bizarre way I described before. So, in a nutshell, the login was working, I trashed it somehow and now it is broken, but this is not a compatibility issue16:17
HackerIID`oh!16:18
BluesKajThecaptain2000, somehow trashed , eh? so why are you so sure that nomodeset doesn't apply  , and have you tried the recovery kernel and use the repair broken packages dialog16:20

phoenix_firebrddecci: do you need a commercial support?16:26
vbgunzquick question. I checked out the beta of 12.10 and like a Fedora issue I had recently, nouveau simply does not work out of the box with a GTX 570. Theres a FIFO loop at boot. I removed the nouveau driver and tried startx but the gui is corrupted. I tried installing the nvidia binary driver from the repos and got stuck restarting x (it's nothing like it used to be)16:30
vbgunzI guess my question is, what's up with nouveau? getting a gui up on the live cd feels almost impossible, any workarounds?16:32
phoenix_firebrdvbgunz: whats wrong with the nvidia binary driver?16:33
BluesKajvbgunz, the nividia-current driver should work from the repos16:33
vbgunzBluesKaj: I ran nvidia-xconfig from the terminal, then startx because Ctrl+Alt+Backspace in the gui doesn't work, does sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart still work? (I didn't try)16:35
vbgunzanyhow the startx after running nvidia-xconfig led to another corrupted gui, impossible to make out16:36
BluesKajvbgunz, sudo service kdm start or lightdm depending on your display manager16:36

vbgunzBluesKaj: it wasn't kdm it was lightdm. no, the beta is completely broken for me. I haven't used kubuntu in almost 2 years and wanted to check it out again, see where things are. this beta though is wrecked, I honestly believe it's nouveau that's the problem :(17:00

phoenix_firebrdThecaptain2000: you are using a driver form the repos or from the website?17:01
phoenix_firebrdThecaptain2000:* from17:02
BluesKajvbgunz, 12.10 ?17:02
vbgunzyeah, what ever the latest beta there is I got from kubuntu about an hour ago17:03
Thecaptain2000at this particular moment I am using the ati driver I downloaded from their server.  this whole problem started when I tried to install kernel 3.5 (with the open source drivers) then purged it. so it is something "I" did, it used to work17:03
BluesKajcan you get to a tty and startx , vbgunz ?17:03
vbgunzI have a GTX 570, I can't see how nouveau doesn't know how to support it17:03
vbgunzwhen I say startx the most I got was a completely corrupted screen, completely pixelized, looks mosaic and impossible to decypher17:04
BluesKajvbgunz, have you tried installing the nvidia-current driver at the tty ?17:05
phoenix_firebrdThecaptain2000: did you read the requirements of the driver, sometimes incompatible  xorg version can create problems17:06
vbgunzBluesKaj: yeah, I had to update using apt-get to get it and after it was installed, I ran nvidia-xconfig, then startx and lightdm restart, etc, both ways to try and get to a gui *but* no go17:07
Thecaptain2000phoenix_firebrd: this  is not the driver, I had it working *with* the driver, reverted back to xorg drivers to try out 3.5. something during the installation/ purge went very wrong and the problem origin is in there, somewhere17:07
vbgunzI think I'll try again in a bit but am going to remove xorg-nouveau etc. I really am convinced it's the problem17:07
BluesKajvbgunz, after installing even from the tty you have to reboot17:08
phoenix_firebrdThecaptain2000: in that case install the same and uninstall it again to remove the broken packages17:08
Thecaptain2000phoenix_firebrd: install what? kernel 3.5?17:09
vbgunzBluesKaj: hmm, if it was a real install I'd do it but I was trying to see how far I could go off the live usb17:09
phoenix_firebrdThecaptain2000: the driver that is broken17:09
phoenix_firebrdThecaptain2000: also check in /var/log/kern.log for error messages17:10
BluesKajvbgunz, ok , I haven't tried that method17:10
vbgunzIt's all good BluesKaj, thanks for your suggestions and all, I'll try again in a bit, am tired and need some rest. I'll let you know what's up17:11
Thecaptain2000phoenix_firebrd: I can disable the driver (just rename xorg.conf and see if the error remains also using the OSS drivers17:12
phoenix_firebrdThecaptain2000: try that17:13

GH0Sorry, Ubuntu 12.0419:29
MamarokGH0: do you use the PPAs?19:29
Mamarokor just 12.04 as it is?19:29
Mamarokbecause to know about updates http://kubuntu.org/news is the place19:30
Mamarokhelixhorned: difficult to know what is problematic as the errors appear to be random19:31
GH0I pretty much use Ubuntu as it is, sans a PPA for Chrome, however, that is it.19:31
MamarokGH0: well, I am not talking about Chrome, I am talking about the official updates and backports PPA from Kubuntu19:32
GH0This wasn't occuring until today, on the latest reboot I had to perform, so I am wondering what the issue is. I didn't see anything that would stand out and scream error in the logs, but at the same time, I wouldn't know what I am looking for.19:32
Mamarokbecause there was an update for 12.04 recently, 12.04.1, you should really do that19:32
GH0Then yes, I do use the official updates, however, I don't use backports.19:32
MamarokOK, so 12.04.01 it is19:32
Mamarokusually the error messages you get are quite specific, no? And it lets you report bugs19:33
Mamarokwhich you should do eventually so it helps finding the problem19:33
