[00:14] will someone paste the ubuntu i386 server iso md5sum in this channel please [00:15] Cong: I'm french [00:15] mmnicolas, doesn't mean a thing to me [00:18] pentagon: you can get it from the ubuntu.com website [00:21] can i reset an USB controller on ubuntu w/out restarting the whole system?

[00:27] alexandros: did u try to do a right-click on the desktop and see if there is sth like "Create an URL-Link"? [00:28] Also is cgi interface enabled by default in ubuntu? [00:28] I'm trying to install BURG. add-apt-repository ppa:n-muench/burg as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Burg gives "Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?)" [00:28] DarkStar1: cgi interface ?what [00:28] (with a python traceback before that) [00:28] in apache web server [00:29] DarkStar1: there is an apache package for ubuntu with all modules available [00:29] mmnicolas: is it normal that modprobe -r usbhid hangs the USB controller? [00:29] So that's a yes then as I installed from the repo [00:29] :) === dave is now known as Guest17635 [00:33] ok ikonia, sorry for not getting back to you earlier. Well, unless one might be a whizz, it's not obvious to know how to tell the distro to ignore the files it wants to download. It has a mind of it's own [00:34] stepnjump: you DON'T TELL IT TO IGNORE - IT NEEDS THEM !!! THEY ARE NOT THERE [00:35] stepnjump: how many times can I say this "it cannot run the upgrade because the files it needs are not on the remote server" [00:35] ok...mmm so what is your suggestion? [00:35] either change to a mirror with the files or contact the mirror owner [00:36] I get that... but if the system needs them and obviously cannot download them because they are not there, so what is your suggested alternative [00:36] I've just told you the alternative [00:36] ok thanks then for your help... I'll look into that [00:36] either switch to a server that has the files, or contact the mirror owner to get the files put back [00:37] Guys I'm on 12.04 running from USB. I have a parallel port installed on my computer and I want to know whether Ubuntu recognizes it. How do I tell? [00:37] lspci? [00:37] Richard_Cavell: something as old as a parallel, i'd say probably, i take it you're trying to get a printer or scanner working? [00:38] gry: lspci will only show devices on the pci bus... don't think a parallel port runs there (it might though) [00:38] more complicated than that though KM0201 I'm trying to bit bang the parallel port with avrdude [00:38] My parallel port is actually on a PCI card that is plugged into my PCI slot [00:38] hmm, it might show up in lspci then [00:38] I can see 5:02.0 Communitcation controller: Device 5372:6872 === florin is now known as Guest61841 [00:39] bit bang parallel port with avvrdude? i hope something got lost in the translation there, because that makes no sense. [00:39] KM0201: that's what it is mate [00:39] has anyone here managed to install courier mailserver on 12.04? I am having issues with the webadmin interface [00:39] KM0201: avrdude can communicate directly over the parallel port with an AVR chip to program it [00:39] DarkStar1: you might try asking in ubuntu-server [00:39] but my Windows 7 drivers for the parallel port aren't signed so Win 7 won't recognize it (it's cheap Chinese junk) [00:39] ic... i have no idea on that one, dunno. [00:40] KM0201: thx [00:40] DarkStar1: webmin won't work with ubuntu [00:40] !webmin | DarkStar1 [00:40] DarkStar1: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [00:40] is there a way I can see whether lpt1 exists? [00:40] ikonia: not webmin. webadmin [00:40] !info webadmin [00:40] Package webadmin does not exist in precise [00:40] DarkStar1: my apologies [00:40] which is a courier addon [00:44] webmin works fine for me. but i only use it to edit mysql remotely.. [00:44] not webmin, webadmin [00:44] ive never heard of webadmin. [00:44] because it's something to manage a courier mail server [00:47] yup.

[05:50] well how can we solve the problem lobhater [05:50] you need to create a bootable Ubuntu live usb cactusfrog [05:50] he who hides his hatred has lying lips [05:50] i will not lie [05:50] breaking legs solves the problem [05:50] cactusfrog: are you on a windows system now ?> === witakr|NiteNite is now known as witakr [05:50] if i see another verizon phone pointed at me [05:50] Herro good people... [05:51] codemaniac: no but i have access to one [05:51] uhm... you shouldn't need a windows system to make a live USB [05:51] thats why Ehud hacked up the king [05:51] hacken em up into pieces [05:51] keep harassing people [05:52] burning an ISO of the live disc onto a usb drive should be enough [05:52] left hand [05:52] not know what the right hand is doing [05:52] hmmwhatsthisdo: you would think so, but I haven't had any luck with that, [05:52] cactusfrog: are you on a ubuntu box now ? [05:52] hmmwhatsthisdo, i had trouble making live usb's in linux before.. was always easiest with lily in windows [05:52] pentagon: if you are concerned that the servers that you are connecting to are logging your ip you could use a proxy server. or the tor network. if you think that by having a dynamic ip you aren't traceable i believe you are wrong. ISPs keep track of what dynamic ip was assigned to which customer at which time. so by even having a dynamic ip you are just as traceable [05:52] I buy a fucking dynamic ip I want a dynamic ip [05:52] cactusfrog: how so? [05:52] hmmwhatsthisdo, Just commenting.. don't need help [05:52] hmmwhatsthisdo: when I try to boot of a CD it doesn't work, just get a flashing white underscore and nothing else happens [05:52] <|Anthony|> cactusfrog: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [05:53] codemaniac: no but i can get to one, [05:53] cactusfrog: might you be trying to boot an x64 copy of Ubuntu? [05:53] lobhater: tor is a joke [05:53] cactusfrog: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [05:53] hmmwhatsthisdo: no 32 or x86 [05:53] lobhater: if you were the architect of your own tor network ok [05:53] but connecting to just any tor node doesnt help [05:53] could be a vm 1 hop away [05:54] pentagon: the discussion would better suite in #ubuntu-offtopic [05:54] pentagon: go to a coffee shop then [05:54] pentagon: I'm fairly sure you can specify countries to use for nodes [05:54] pentagon: stop talking to me [05:54] codemaniac: so is there any quick fix to the cd boot problem? [05:54] i guess i will go to a coffee shop [05:55] cactusfrog: have you tried re-burning? [05:55] or using a DVD instead of a CD? [05:55] (as dumb as it sounds) [05:55] and they always do the man in the middle with aircrack [05:55] hmmwhatsthisdo: yes it was always on a DVD and i burned 4 using different disk burners and at a slow speed [05:55] hmmwhatsthisdo: i also tested it on a windows machine and it worked [05:56] what Mac are you using? [05:56] the left hand doesnt know what the right hand is doing [05:56] hmmwhatsthisdo: as retarded as it sounds i don't know the exact kind, it is a new macbook pro 64bit 2.9gz bought in 2012 [05:57] mmkay, so it's certainly one that CAN boot to disc [05:57] hmmwhatsthisdo: I searched around and I couldn't find anyone with my exact problem [05:58] cactusfrog: have you tried installing to USB on a Windows device and booting to the USB on your Mac? [05:58] everytime i download an iso its a different size [05:58] what a joke [05:58] cactusfrog: you can play with the bootparameters [05:58] i might just have to do lfs [05:58] hmmwhatsthisdo: yes actually i was able to install a usb version of ubuntu on a USB and boot off of that, the problem was, that the other flash I had wouldn't plug in when the flash drive i booted off was plugged in... [05:59] codemaniac: what do you mean? [05:59] why, only one USB port or something? [05:59] hmmwhatsthisdo: no they are to close together [05:59] cactusfrog: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [05:59] ah [06:00] how do you guys think adobe reader compares to document viewer? [06:01] no difference except for entry for the irs [06:01] bs [06:01] codemaniac: It wouldn't get to that stage of booting up. I would hold down alt (option) as I was booting up and then select the disk which for some reason is identified as windows, then it would just show an underscore that would flash white for a while and the disk would stop spinning and nothing would hapen [06:02] adobe reader is mainly for irs tax forms [06:03] When I open the program with Java 7 OpenJDK Runtime writes me this: [06:03] The file '/ home / tomaz / Desktop / MinecraftSP.jar' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or Copied from an untrusted source, it may BE dangerous to Run. For more details, read about the executable bit. [06:03] Please help! [06:04] hmmwhatsthisdo: so I used a windows machine and installed a version of ubuntu on a flash drive using the drop down install menu, that didn't work either [06:04] hmmwhatsthisdo: for that installation it would load but then get to the purple screen with the dots and freeze there, nothing else would happen [06:04] that's problematic [06:05] lobhater, This channel is not for polling try #ubuntu-offtopic [06:05] When I open the program with Java 7 OpenJDK Runtime writes me this: [06:05] The file '/ home / tomaz / Desktop / MinecraftSP.jar' is not marked as executable.

[06:10] pentagon: have you checked to make sure that your router isn't set to another DSN i had a virus do that to me once [06:11] cactusfrog: on your linux box? [06:11] cactusfrog: not allowed into the router its the cable companys [06:11] pentagon: Do you have a Ubuntu related support question? [06:12] yeah IdleOne [06:12] lobhater: i had my router set to the default password and someone connected with an infected pc that changed the DSN [06:12] If not please take the chatter to #ubuntu-offtopic [06:12] hi all.

[06:29] outch ban hammer [06:29] gogeta: dbz was first aired some years ago :P but that is stuff to be discussed in the ot-channel ;) [06:30] Guest70518: i guess the "wireless" is the problem [06:31] Guest70518: how does it connect to the pc, bluetooth?

Anyone tell me how i can modify it to open in firefox rather than chrome? [06:44] hey [06:44] Got a problem hoping that someone can help [06:44] Snowie, I beleive plex requires chrome to function properly [06:44] Snowie: try changing your default browser to chrome ? [06:45] !ask [06:45] 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 [06:45] Rizla, What's the problem? [06:47] Sec [06:47] Snowie, I tried opening my pms in FF and it seems to have opened fine.. That being the case I would go with codemaniac's suggestion [06:48] witakr: i cannot remember the context :) [06:49] codemaniac, "codemaniac> Snowie: try changing your default browser to chrome ?" which was a response to this: "Rizla> Got a problem hoping that someone can help" [06:49] aha :) [06:50] I am using Gnome in Ubuntu 12.04. I don't know what I did but now I have 4 "protect you computer from unauthorized use" lock screen icons in the top panel. How can one remove them again? A right click does not provide an option to remove them. [06:50] codemaniac, Actually.. lol I erred there.. It wasn't a response to Rizla .. It was a response to Snowie's question about plex and chrome [06:51] codemaniac: also, he wanted to avoid chrome and rather use firefox :P therefore setting chrome as default browser would be pretty useless :P [06:52] I have a win7 pc and iv been Trying to boot ubuntu 12.04 from a usb but it always hang when i come as far as the screen gets its nice ubuntu color and then it hangs. The ubuntu logo doesnt show up or anything it just hangs. I can move the mouse but there isnt anything there just the nice ubuntu color. I have tried dualboot, cd, usb all the same [06:52] my 12.04 spits out lots of not found errors if do apt-get update. im using approx on ubuntu 10.04. is there anything i should change in my approx conf? [06:52] chris92: it is typing-in-lots-of-channels syndrome [06:53] how about older audis? I'm looking at a 2000 a6 [06:53] When i installed dualboot it got so bad i had to format everything [06:54] Rizla, There may be a problem detecting or recognizing hardware.. I can't remember how the live cds and usbs boot but if you have the option you might try booting in a verbose mode and see what it says [06:54] witakr: i think you could press alt+tab to get into a verbose mode while booting [06:55] witakr: not sure tho if thats what u mean [06:55] When you make the usb boot disk should it be formated in fat32 [06:55] Anybody has an idea? [06:55] Rizla: normally the usb boot disk tool on ubuntu does the right settings for it [06:56] Ok [06:56] Guest70518: no idea, sorry, im not using unity :) [06:56] chris92, I think that's right..lol [06:56] What filesystem does ubuntu 12.04? [06:56] chris92, not Unity but Gnome. [06:56] Rizla, ext [06:56] Rizla: ext2, ext3 or ext4, preferably ext4 tho [06:57] ext4 in the house [06:57] Guest70518: I'm on xfce ;) sorry, would like to help you, but I cant :/ [06:57] Rizla, What program did you use to create the live USB? [06:58] That one that links from the ubuntu download page. [06:58] chris92, I found the solution. Thx http://askubuntu.com/questions/91445/how-do-i-remove-an-icon-from-the-top-panel-in-gnome-fallback-mode [06:59] Rizla, In windows I had the best experience creating Live USB's using Lily [06:59] Guest70518: google is a friend :3 [06:59] chris92, google was founded by the CIA [07:00] Rizla, FIX: LiLi see here: http://www.linuxliveusb.com/ [07:00] Ill try [07:00] chris92, google wants us to fully trust it but it is definitely not a friend. [07:00] Thanks [07:00] is there any offline Language translator for ubuntu ? [07:00] I trust google [07:00] lol [07:01] google has so much from my data... im using an android phone [07:01] definitely better than apple tho [07:01] or facebook [07:01] Rizla, Also, download the latest ISO of Ubuntu from the ubuntu website and use LiLi to create your Live USB.. I have always selected for it to format the flash drive and I have never had a bad install that way. you may try that. [07:01] facebook is another CIA front. [07:02] Guest70518 thinks everything is the CIA [07:02] except CIA [07:02] look at the board of directors of facebook and google [07:02] Is there any offline Language translator for ubuntu ? [07:02] CIA is a front for the FBI [07:02] i use yacy.net [07:03] what's that yacy.net ? [07:03] Guest70518, yacy.net is a front for MI6 [07:03] yacy.net? [07:03] rymate1234, lol [07:03] yacy is a distributed, peer to peer search engine. anonymous, uncensorable [07:03] yes [07:03] Can i guys, show me an offline translator for ubuntu ? [07:04] look at the main contributors of it [07:04] all members of MI6 undercover [07:04] is the ad system thats coming in ubuntu only part of x or is it baked into the underlying linux core ? [07:04] devslash, its only in unity [07:04] ahh ok [07:04] because i don't use X [07:04] Xfce ftw [07:05] They should add amazon apps into grep [07:07] no, google ad words [07:08] witakr, sorry for the late reply, been googling. problem is, the link in chrome has weird artefacts, FF works fine. hence why im trying to change the browser the application points to., [07:08] Hi, I got a machine that does not boot the installer. I have tried with USB and with DVD. On another machine they work fine. Are there specific bios options that are known to cause havoc on 12.04 LTS 64b installer media? [07:09] during boot, it shows me the initial Ubuntu installer logo and then goes to blink a cursor at top left which never progresses so I feel its hw related [07:09] Snowie, You may just change your default browser to FF. Should be a setting in FF to do that... one sec... [07:10] v identify Silverspoon [07:10] Woops [07:10] Snowie, In FF Click Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Make FireFox my default browser. [07:10] try that [07:10] witakr, i prefer chrome for all else. Only plex from unity shortcut i want changed. all the guides i find seem to rely on unity launcher have in favourites option, which is not present on 12.04 i think [07:11] Kulitorum: try /msg nickserv help identify [07:11] Snowie, Ah.. ok one sec [07:11] Snowie, you can also go into system settings in unity and go to the Details window, then go to default programs [07:11] witakr, i think all i need to do is edit launcher to say "firefox http://'plex' [07:12] witakr, i just cant find the launcher file to edit L( [07:12] :( [07:13] snowie, rightclick the shortcut maybe? [07:14] dunno if there is a context menu on unity [07:14] for that stuff [07:14] Snowie, I got it.. do this: On your desktop right click and select create launcher and then in the Name field type Plex.. it should offer to auto complete. Select the auto complete option but in the command field change x-www-browser to firefox [07:14] try that.. it worked for me [07:15] Hello, I am having some issues installing ubuntu on a powerbok g4. I can't seem to load either 10.10 or 12.04. Anyone know which version is compatible? [07:15] Does anybody know if there is a Ubuntu package for yacy.net? [07:15] witakr, 12.04, i see no such option when i right click desktop [07:15] Snowie, You using Ubuntu with Unity? [07:16] Guest70518, google.com [07:16] yes [07:16] hemite: try this one: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/12.04/release/ubuntu-12.04-desktop-powerpc.iso [07:16] witakr, yes, 2d [07:16] rymate1234, google is a CIA front. [07:16] Snowie, Ok one sec [07:16] Guest70518: duckduckgo.com then [07:16] witakr, thanks mate [07:16] more like cia is a google front [07:16] oh [07:16] maybe the cia removed the yacy package for ubuntu [07:16] damn cia [07:17] chris92, Do you know if there is one of those for KDE? [07:17] hemite, gimme a second [07:18] witakr, thanks for your help mate, but friends have arrived to wisk me away early. pm me if you have an answer. ill be back on here later anyway. appreciate it bro [07:18] hemite: there you go, kubuntu for powerpc: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/12.04.1/release/kubuntu-12.04-desktop-powerpc.iso [07:18] well, apparently ubuntu 12.10 does not play well with VBox [07:19] !12.10 | zerowaitstate [07:19] zerowaitstate: Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) will be the 17th release of Ubuntu, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 [07:19] okiedoke [07:19] ah, doh [07:19] thanks [07:19] Fedora 18 seems to launch the installer.. now what is so different between fedora and 12.04 installers [07:19] probably the boot method or the drivers [07:20] cmug, a lot [07:20] ofcourse, but why is my standard x86_64 desktop so special [07:20] I think the fedora installer might be a fron for the cia [07:20] *front [07:20] rymate1234 :D [07:21] thatswhy Id rather use Ubuntu [07:21] rymate1234: you are blocking support [07:21] ok lol [07:21] ubuntu and fedora come from different code bases. Fedora kind of does theor own thing while ubuntu borrows from the debian community [07:22] Its all linux in the end though, anyway, how do I debug the ubuntu installer that why does it fail? [07:22] chris92, Ok hopefully this will work. I've tried previous ones already but I havn't been able to boot any of them [07:22] try ubuntu's minimal install and build from there. it's a good learning experience if you're somewhat new to linux [07:22] chris92, I'm doing this off a live usb idk if that matters [07:22] how'd you prepare the usb stick? [07:22] guys [07:23] I get this error when trying to launch FTL [07:23] xorgnak_: unetbootin, triedboth minimal and live [07:23] http://pastebin.com/mpt3ptaH [07:23] xorgnak_: now it has live inside [07:23] minimal, netboot i mea [07:23] n [07:23] I can't remember how to do it offhand, but dd the image to the stick. [07:24] I also get those errors with minecraft [07:24] wat do [07:24] dvd fails to same @error@ [07:24] rymate1234: not sure if serious or troll [07:24] so its not the boot media, im sure [07:24] sometimes unetbootin won't overwrite the usb's mbr and it causes problems. [07:24] rymate1234, It seems you are missing a couple drivers [07:25] chris92, actually serious at the moment [07:25] rymate1234: looks like you miss the radeon driver [07:25] if r600 is indeed the radeon driver [07:25] also, there is a linux version of FTL?! [07:25] ye [07:26] I assume the installer logo keyboard = human is the grub loading? how do I change the boot parameters? [07:26] plus 1 point for early english response [07:26] should be standard grub [07:26] cmug, when you see those images, just wait a minute or two more [07:26] something like 'e' at boot I think [07:26] package seems to be installed [07:27] !boot | cmug [07:27] cmug: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [07:27] unetbootin uses sbm. I keep forgetting that. [07:27] rymate1234: did you activate the drivers in "Additional drivers"? [07:27] b [07:27] ca [07:27] No [07:27] oops [07:28] I'm using the open source ones [07:28] Canuckian: yeah i let it sit there for 20min already [07:28] rymate1234: ahh okay [07:28] auronandace: thanks [07:28] so it should work out of the box [07:28] xorgnak_: yes with unetbootin the loader is different, ill try that instead of the dvd [07:28] cmug: are you booting hardware or vm? [07:29] hardware [07:29] checksums match? [07:29] yes [07:29] laptop boots fine from both medias [07:29] desktop failing [07:29] damn. you're killing my troubleshooting tree. [07:30] what's the platform? [07:30] x86_64 [07:30] ok got the splash and quiet out, i see its probing my disks [07:30] have you tried x86? sometimes that will boot more reliably on x86_64 [07:30] making progress [07:31] or, has finished probing my disks [07:31] and tilted there [07:31] I never understood why I should prefer 32b over 64b [07:31] even if it was more stable etc etc, but thats more of a Microsoft thinking [07:32] I still use 32. but then again, I don't have a particular need for 64 [07:32] I use 64 with no problems [07:32] I have over 4Gigs of RAM, my need right there [07:32] I have 64b running in my server without issues [07:32] I've run 64 before just fine. just no good reason to prefer it. [07:33] I could try 32b installer and see if it worked any better, but that will delay me a bit too much [07:33] Mathematically speaking 64 is greater than 32 thus I like it more..lol [07:33] What is going on with Ubuntu's system reporter? I no longer see any detail about system crashes, I just see a message saying System reporter, report problem? And two buttons saying cancel and report problem [07:33] it'd be worth a shot. [07:34] I live in command line land so I didn't even know system reporter existed [07:34] I love the GUI goodness, myself [07:35] there's another good reason to run 64 [07:38] fala [07:38] marginalidade.. brasil..

[07:43] \list [07:43] Shazer[2], Install it with playonlinux [07:44] Shazer[2]: teamviewer isn't in the repo but its dependencies are [07:44] witakr: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1251165/ [07:44] That's the problem. [07:44] flashbang: hi, yes, this is an English support channel. Are you looking for another language support? [07:44] Hey guys, how can I disable the creation of motd.legal-displayed in ~/.cache on login? [07:45] Shazer[2]: you need the ai32libs [07:45] auronandace: what's the command? [07:45] Shazer[2]: i can't remember the name of the package [07:46] Alright. :) [07:46] Anybody else know? [07:46] SYN [07:46] ack [07:46] thank you [07:46] Whatever is the equalent of yum whatprovides command in apt-get/dpkg [07:47] try apt-get install [07:47] I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 (Gnome-Shell) and was wondering if there is any way to control what happens when left-clicking on the system tray icons. Most applications (eg Pidgin, VLC, X-Chat) hide/show the main window when the tray icon is clicked, while others (eg gPodder) displays a context menu. I'm hoping to make the latter function the same as the former. [07:48] Shazer[2], in terminal try: sudo apt-get install libc6-i386 and repeat for each dependency it tells you it needs in your pastebin post [07:48] that is what i would do to start with [07:48] bingo [07:50] you could get really fancy and download source packages and compile them yourself, but if you were into that sort of thing youd be doing a gentoo install [07:50] Shazer[2]: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch [07:50] xorgnak: 32b installer hangs just the same [07:50] or he can download the msi file from microsoft.com [07:50] alternate installer? [07:50] xorgnak: no live [07:51] try the alternate installer. thatll boot on anything. [07:51] lol [07:51] its true.. I got it to boot on my toaster three days ago [07:51] or you could just bite the bullet and try a debian install === railsraider_ is now known as railsraider [07:51] anyoone here running 12.10? [07:52] Notimik, not I [07:52] yo. [07:52] hmm, the install option goes furhter than the live environment.

[08:05] hi === e66 is now known as msnbot [08:07] ? [08:07] that sounds like a xinarama issue [08:11] xorgnak, you referring to me? [08:11] its a gnome-shell issue. [08:11] i've found the fix. [08:11] i originally was trying to fix it in "metacity", but i need to fix it in gnome-shell. [08:11] a dconf setting. [08:12] good times [08:16] hello everyone I have one small question.. I installed ubuntu server 12.04 x64 [08:16] and then? :-) [08:16] then I figured I'd like a window manager :) So I installed the kubuntu package on top [08:16] lol [08:16] did it work? ;-) [08:16] which is really not so wise but whatever, some more learning [08:16] :-) [08:16] the suspense is killing me g_ [08:17] then after I jungled through the login screen to make the system actually only use KDE and automatically login to KDE.. I did it:) yeaaah [08:17] hahaha stop it you guys :D [08:17] so! [08:17] hello, this evening I upgraded from 10.04 to 12.04 and (among other things) it has run amuck on my software raid (mdadm). It fails to assemble, complaining about "invalid raid superblock magic on /dev/sdXX". This array however was *just working* 2 hours ago under 10.04. How do I salvage this mess without losing data? Thanks. [08:17] I went on to install the 'restricted package' .. but didnt know which one to choose [08:17] Actually I am web dev/ web designer so I'd need more fancy fonts for my Chrome [08:17] for the moment they look very .. edgy.. [08:17] I turned on antiliasing didn't help much... [08:18] It strikes me how different font rendering is between chrome winx and chrome unix [08:18] please stop using ... and try completing a thought on one line [08:18] apologies. [08:18] accepted :) [08:19] g_, "ubuntu-restricted-extras" looks like it [08:19] My question is, as I installed kubuntu package on top of server (which is basically a naked core unix) how do I proceed from now on.. which packages apply to my case? ubuntu or kubuntu.. and do you know which package should I install for extra fonts and so on? Thanks in advance. [08:20] gry: thanks. So the previous package I installed, should I remove it? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [08:20] only if you're asked to; they probably coexist well, too [08:21] Thanks. In general would you say I should continue using this system or Should I just format and go back to a normal kubuntu? I plan on doing some experimentation on LAMP stacks, Varnish, Memcache, svn and so on.. [08:22] I'm running lamp ok on a desktop install (ubuntu/xubuntu) but I'd suggest probably reading docs as to in what way server install is different from the desktop one, as I'm hardly proficient in that personally [08:23] if you run lamp on a desktop, just make sure you don't do it for production, and it could be fine; on the other hand, server install could be shipped with a bunch of useful monitoring tools === railsraider_ is now known as railsraider [08:24] yeah, that's what I guessed too. It's not prod. it's just personal pc testing.. simulation:) Last question, apt-get upgrade is good enough to upgrade all existing packages? [08:24] I'm speaking without any experience with ubuntu server install myself, and I'm sure the difference is documented somewhere.. hrmph. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq#What.27s_the_difference_between_desktop_and_server.3F ? [08:24] do `apt-get update` then `apt-get upgrade` (first one updates packages listing) [08:25] Basically the server uses another kernel and has no desktop environment. [08:25] In my case I run it with sudo ('sudo apt-get update') or use ubuntu software center or synaptic [08:25] bekks: ? [08:26] he's trying to outline the difference.. yes, this is related to your question g_ :) === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [08:26] bekks: a different kernel? It's compiled differently so that it is.. lighter? simpler? [08:26] hi [08:26] on that note, bekks may want to read my last link, item 3. the knowledge appears a bit outdated [08:27] (these kernels are same since 12.04) [08:27] hello ShapeShifter499 [08:27] is it possible to run a 64 bit application on a 32 bit ubuntu install when the CPU can run 64 bit Operating Systems and apps? [08:27] ShapeShifter499: No. [08:27] There's those numbers again [08:27] seems to be the issue of the day [08:28] gry: They arent. There is a -server kernel... :) [08:28] Jordan_U, why? [08:28] bekks, the faq entry I linked implies they were merged or I'm misreading things? [08:28] gry: You are misreading things :) [08:28] SYN [08:28] xorgnak, ack [08:29] thank you. [08:29] hello everyone [08:29] bekks, could you possible un-bork my understanding there please (I'm failing to comprehend)? [08:29] hi bannaz [08:29] Im just going to start treating my random SYNs as sneezes. [08:29] Jordan_U, I know that virtualbox will let me run a whole ubuntu 64 bit ontop of my 32 bit install because my CPU supports it, why not support for one (or a couple) of 64 bit apps [08:29] hey gry [08:29] gry: The contents of the kernel are the same, but there still is the transitional package for -server. [08:29] ShapeShifter499: if a road has a bottleneck of being three meters wide, it doesn't matter how wide the road was intended to be if the object that needs to travel on that road is 4 meters wide [08:29] bekks: (what does the transitional package do?) [08:30] ShapeShifter499: One thing, to run 64 bit apps you need 64 bit system calls and memory management, which requires the kernel to be running in long mode. [08:30] gry: It basically translates one package into another, without breaking dependencies. [08:31] I see. does that imply a user of server install has an option of using the default kernel and a server kernel? [08:31] gry: No. [08:31] Jordan_U, so it would have to be though virtualbox then huh? [08:31] guys. how do I see if my nvidia driver is installed automatically and if I have the latest version? [08:31] ShapeShifter499: In that case, your kernel is is running in long mode (though at a guess, I would expect that your virtualbox VM won't be able to take advantage of RAM which your 32 bit kernel can't access. [08:32] bekks, ok, I'll keep that in mind. the faq appears to be a bit confusing (that is, I'm not seeing why it's saying the kernels are merged if they're different) [08:32] Jordan_U, I thought PAE opened it up to a max of 64 gigs [08:32] Myrtti, you'd have to emulate a 4m wide road on the 3m wide one ;-) [08:32] g_: good question, please stand by [08:32] ShapeShifter499: As I understand it, yes. But there isn't much of a reason not to run a 64 bit kernel on 64 bit hardware (except that distros make installing 32 bit kernels easier in 32 bit userlands). [08:33] my enery star is getting reset to Standby: 48 Suspend: 72 Off: 96 no matter how many times I change it disable it or anything. I am facing this problem since many days, can anyone please help? [08:33] g_: possibly http://www.upubuntu.com/2011/07/how-to-check-your-opengl-and-nvidia.html [08:33] Jordan_U, I ran in to 32 bit only drivers (like one for my dial up modem which will be for mostly faxes) [08:33] ShapeShifter499: Then you can just create a chroot with any needed 64 bit libraries and run your 64 bit apps in that. Though that leads to the question of why you want a 32 bit userland at all. [08:33] ShapeShifter499: Where did you get this driver from? [08:34] Jordan_U, the ubuntu repos, its called martian-modem, I couldn't get it to work in 64 bit even after i386-libs installed [08:35] ShapeShifter499: You tried simply "sudo apt-get install martian-modem"? [08:36] Jordan_U, yes then I googled all over the internet and found no 64 bit hope so I reinstalled to 32 bit [08:36] Hello, I would like to use my ubuntu system audio OUTPUT as an INPUT for another program so i can play music on voip calls. could anyone clue me in on the secret to doing this? [08:36] Jordan_U, I hate having hardware I might use not work [08:37] newbchessplayer: #pulseaudio might be a good place to try if nobody here answers (note that #pulseaudio is a much smaller channel, wait paitiently). [08:39] newbchessplayer: playing music in VOIP calls is a very bad idea, I advise not doing it [08:40] just upload the music somewhere and give the link [08:40] whenever you do that, mumblers say your name [08:41] Jordan_U, so I can have a 64 bit chroot? [08:41] Calinou, what is a mumbler [08:42] Calinou, i just want to play it on the call. period. i dont want to give them a link to it. [08:42] ShapeShifter499: Only with a 64 bit kernel. [08:42] hello [08:42] Jordan_U, D: [08:43] i am having troubles getting wlan to work. the modules are loaded, the rfkill switch is disabled... but i dont see no interface [08:44] Hello, this evening I upgraded from 10.04 to 12.04 and (among other things) it has run amuck on my software raid (mdadm). It fails to assemble, complaining about "invalid raid superblock magic on /dev/sdXX". This array however was *just working* 2 hours ago under 10.04. How do I salvage this mess without losing data?

Though realize 1: This is non-standard, and probably not "officially supported" 2: I don't have time to walk you through how to do it right now and 3: This will probably require manually downloading kernel images, and generating initramfs images, and you will need to go through this ... [08:45] ... manual process every time there is a kernel update. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [08:48] Jordan_U, thanks for the referral to #pulseaudio but they seem to be too uptight in there to be bothered to answer my question [08:49] <[deXter]> Uninstall pulseaudio, problem solved :) [08:49] Guys, I guess wasnt a good idea to start from the Ubuntu server.. I have no sound... [08:49] any idea what to install to fix this?

[09:12] kostkon, its all resolved.... thanks for your comment anyway.... was just complaining about the out-of-the-box bugs of 12.04.x alternate installer [09:13] nibbler, no prob. althoug, i am not sure it was a bug. nevertheless, i hope you enjoy 12.04 :) [09:14] 12.04 is terrible with my pc [09:14] so anyone know why ./path/to/binary doesnt work to run a binary? [09:15] WACOMalt, what are you trying to do , which binary [09:15] wachw, is it executable (attribute)? is the FS mounted in a way that allows executables? [09:16] yes I can run it fine [09:16] if I am in that folder [09:16] but doing ./ with a path in it doesnt work [09:16] WACOMalt, then it is searching for some dependencies in the current folder [09:16] WACOMalt, strace -eopen ./path/to/file [09:16] strace? [09:16] goodmorning all... can you help me? i upgrade from 8.10 ubuntu to 9.10 now get sudo do-release-upgrade e give me Checking for a new ubuntu release Failed Upgrade tool signature Failed Upgrade tool Done downloading Failed to fetch Fetching the upgrade failed. There may be a network problem. [09:16] how resolve this? [09:16] WACOMalt whats the exact command line you are ysing? [09:17] WACOMalt, will tell you which files it is trying to open, output might look a bit messy if you are not used to it [09:17] bodhy, both of those are end of line [09:17] i have modified sources.list and metarelease but dont work [09:17] WACOMalt, but first, what is the exact output that appears if you run it that way? [09:17] strace -eopen ./usr/local/minecraft/MCMA2_Linux_x86_64 strace: ./usr/local/minecraft/MCMA2_Linux_x86_64: command not found [09:17] yes bazhang [09:17] bodhy, modified to what [09:17] it cant find the file [09:17] WACOMalt, try it without the first . [09:17] WACOMalt: i dont think you want ./the/full/path [09:18] runs fine, but in the wrong folder [09:18] the . means current directory [09:18] i use http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ [09:18] bbl [09:18] but ./ also means run [09:18] so how do I combine the two? [09:18] WACOMalt, nope, it does not. /usr/local/minecraft/MCMA2_Linux_x86_64 [09:18] ./ does not mean 'run' it means the local directory [09:18] ah [09:19] ok that mostly works [09:19] WACOMalt, it makes the difference between absolute and relative path [09:19] its a path for the current directory. :) [09:19] but it's still launching in the wrong folder [09:19] it needs to launch in ITS folder [09:19] WACOMalt, cd /usr/local/minecraft/MCMA2_Linux_x86_64 && /usr/local/minecraft/MCMA2_Linux_x86_64 [09:19] bodhy, you are trying to upgrade from 8.10 then 9.10 to ??? what finally [09:19] bazhang: nothing is muted.. I seem to have 2 cards one is the HDMI I guess... also another problem I just installed nvidia driver current and all the displays changed.. (no hdmi, bad resolution..) [09:20] basically what I am trying to do is run that in a screen. my current command has been cd /usr/local/minecraft/ and then ./MCMAblahblah [09:20] but I want to make an alias of that [09:20] would I have to put the CD part into the screen command itself? [09:20] bazhang have already increased from 8.10 to 9.10 [09:20] now I have to take the next step [09:20] bodhy, and 9.10 to what (is the final goal) [09:21] WACOMalt, alias runminecraft='cd /foo; ./foo' [09:21] 9.10 to 10.04 [09:21] nibbler, and if I run that, will my current session wind up in that folder? [09:21] bodhy, then 10.04 to 12.04? [09:21] I need to run this command, from outside of that folder, and stay outside of that folder [09:21] yes :D [09:21] WACOMalt, why? [09:22] because the people running it I dont want to be in that folder too often [09:22] bazhang ,you can keep 10.04 for another year [09:22] how does this look to you? alias minecraft screen -dmS minecraft cd /usr/local/minecraft/; ./MCMA2_Linux_x86_64 [09:22] flashbang, of this I am well, aware, thanks [09:22] minus the , [09:23] bazhang: you know help me for that error? I do not understand why from 8.10 to 9.10 went well and now not working [09:23] WACOMalt, you'd have a screen permanently lurking in this dirty directory.... [09:23] that's fine [09:23] they will control it via the aliases only [09:23] startminecraft, stop minecraft [09:23] bodhy, what does lsb_release -a say now [09:24] 9.10 karmic but i start by 8.10 intrepid [09:24] WACOMalt, an alias is defined by "alias newcommand='whatever to execute'". and its not permanently defined by just executing this one once [09:24] No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 9.10 Release: 9.10 Codename: karmic [09:25] bodhy, and you fully updated karmic? [09:25] back again.. I might have to install kubuntu from scratch.. I tried to install nvidia driver - everything collapsed - I cant have sound :( [09:25] bazhang: I think so [09:25] bodhy, how about paste.ubuntu.com with your sources.list [09:26] hello [09:26] nibbler, ok this command is launching it in my current session, forgoing the screen altogether. any idea why? alias startminecraft='screen -dmS minecraft cd /usr/local/minecraft/; ./MCMA2_Linux_x86_64' [09:26] blackshirt: what? [09:26] bodhy, pastebin [09:27] bodhy, do you want to upgrade ? [09:27] also nibbler I know I need to add this alias to a file somewhere to make it permanant, where is that? [09:27] WACOMalt, i'd guess you need to do some more quoting within the screen -S "..." [09:27] blackshirt: my sources.list deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic main universe restricted multiverse and moore [09:27] WACOMalt, not sure, guess .bashrc would be a good place or such [09:27] bodhy, pastebin the whole thing [09:27] blackshirt: to 9.10 to 10.* [09:28] bodhy, bazhang want it, not me [09:28] bodhy, to paste.ubuntu.com [09:28] hmm ok this time it does nothing, no errors, no screens exist. alias startminecraft='screen -dmS minecraft "cd /usr/local/minecraft/; ./MCMA2_Linux_x86_64"' [09:28] I do not understand pastebin [09:28] WACOMalt: there is also .screenrc where you can command screen better [09:29] bodhy, it's a website [09:29] !pastebin | bodhy [09:29] bodhy: 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. [09:29] bodhy, actually, if you want do upgrades to newer releases, you should do it with minimum install,that willl reduce your risk to fail [09:29] WACOMalt:you can have your default screens on startup through screenrc file [09:29] blackshirt, thats not helping [09:30] default screens? what do you mean by that [09:30] I have to change from http://old-releases.ubuntu.com with pastebin right? [09:30] in the sources.list [09:30] bazhang, i'm just sitting here for a seconds, i don't know what bodhy want trying to do [09:31] Need an AWK script that connects to an RS 232 device that will have to have a background thread constantly reading 2 com ports for data received and send them to 2 standard out files.I wanted to get this as done in awk because i know it works, has no dependency no rpm, no fiddle code script that works. I understand that awk is not multi thread and it does buffer, what i need is a real time simple port monitor that will deposit its out [09:31] blackshirt, suggesting the mini.iso for upgrading version is not good advice [09:31] yeah [09:31] blackshirt: sorry for my translade english, i start to 8.10 upgrade to 9.10 and now i wont upgrade moore but give me a error [09:31] decci, what about two awk scripts? one for each port? [09:32] decci better ask in #bash or #networking [09:32] baddd english :D [09:32] bazhang, i don't mean for mini iso, i mean for a basic system, thats i'm thinking about [09:33] I dont get how alias is passing (or not) my commands to the screen when it opens... [09:33] twitchie: solved, purged nfs-kernel-server rpcbind nfs-common, reinstalled nfs-kernel-server. working [09:34] I don't keep much things in my computer ,when i upgrade a new version ,i just make a usb stick installer to get a fully fresh system. [09:34] bodhy, if there an error, you should describe more detail..thats would help so much people who suggest helping you.. [09:36] Bodhy, maybe pastebin the error was a great step to going to solve the problem [09:36] hola [09:37] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1251317/ [09:37] blackshirt: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1251317/ [09:37] buenos dias === ashams_ is now known as ashams [09:38] well, i am clueless, lspci shows the device, the rfkill unblock is run, the hardwareswitch is off. no wireless led is lightening up on my thinkpad x61, and no networkinterface is created :( [09:39] Does anyone know where totem gets the titles of mp3s from? The titles it displays don't match the titles I gave it with an mp3 tagger. [09:39] Fuck [09:39] I hate not having server backups..... [09:39] should've payed for cloud storage. [09:40] I'm gonna go kick myself in the face now [09:40] Such_A_Boss: or use Ubuntu One [09:41] boreeas: maybe from the id3 in the files [09:42] haha [09:42] haha?

I want to run two instance of the script to monitor two ports since i need both feeds [09:45] This never would've happened when I was a boy! You kids these days and your Millennium Items and your card games and your loud music and your hula hoops and your hopscotch and your dungarees and your lollipops and your Sony Playstations and your voice-activated light switches and your leather pants and your artificial insemination- [09:46] qwebirc70805, wrong channel [09:46] is that me?

[09:48] maybe try testdisk [09:48] @ p0op-- [09:49] let's kick the xibond... [09:49] Back in my day we didn't have to fight over the remote.

[09:52] I just installed nvidia driver but system doesnt use it.. what do I have to do? [09:53] g_: how did you install it? manually or with jockey? [09:53] err-or: Well, that's what I thought I edited with puddletags. [09:53] apt-get install nvidia blabla... [09:53] http://pastie.org/4877886 Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? [09:54] trying top make a screen, and make that screen cd to a directory. When I connect tot he screen though its still in /usr/bin/ [09:54] er... that without the "stuff" [09:55] I want to rsync two huge folders in individual Truecrypt containers. I do: "rsync -r /media/truecrypt1/ /media/truecrypt2/" then "sudo renice +20 -p $(pidof truecrypt rsync); sudo ionice -c 3 -p $(pidof truecrypt rsync)". Is there something else I can do so I notice the least possible of the running rsync process? [09:55] g_: try opening jockey-gtk and activate it with this little tool. always worked here [09:55] g_: you rebooted yes? [09:59] How can I get more verbosity on the Ubuntu Ones syncing process? [09:59] please can anyone please help me with my very simple shell script? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1251351/ It is supposed to open a screen, detached, and cd that screen to a folder. Not working at all. If I manually connect to the screen I can see it's still in the folder I rant he command from. [10:00] I want to see the progress of a file, or the current file, or files [10:00] thechef use rsync --progress [10:01] thechef nvm, it's ubuntu one, I misread [10:01] anyone up for reading my 2 line bash script? :/ Its 2am and I need to sleep T_T [10:02] is it true that it's not possible to make 30 day trial app for linux [10:02] if I don't use Gnome, where should I customize my fonts settings? [10:02] s0126h: why you shouldn't be able to do that? [10:03] s0126h some linux products are commercial, so it should be possible, but i guess then it's not under GPL [10:03] how is 30 day trial app possible in linux without registry [10:03] s0126h, if its open source that wont work, but there is NOTHING limiting you from making a 30 day trial. [10:03] same way as on OS X [10:04] s0126h better ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [10:04] registry isnt the only way to accomplish a countdown :P nor the best. [10:04] Well, if no one can help me with 2 lines of bash.. I guess I should just come back in the daytime... [10:05] wacomalt then how do they prevent a user from uninstalling and reinstalling and start fresh new 30 day trial again [10:05] have it phone home [10:05] there are a million ways to tackle that. and you act like the registry isnt editable? O_o [10:06] Ok.. well sleep time then. Maybe someone with bash experience will be in tomorrow [10:07] MonkeyDust: is there a way to access Ubuntu One using rsync? ubuntone-syncd seems to be a weird non-understandable and unreliable blobby blackbox [10:07] s0126h, i'd take the mac adress or some other hashed hardware versions, and request permission to run online. will do good enough [10:07] hey i have a video file with codec H.264 / AVC and i cant go to a specific position in the video, just watch it from the beginning to end [10:07] *totem video player [10:07] thechef just checked, didn't find such option [10:08] Knight7: have you tried in mplayer or mplayer2 [10:08] Yo, anyone know anything about android-SDK for linux?

[10:09] No, you didn't [10:09] Ben64: Do you know anything about Android-SDK for Linux? [10:10] Just ask your question, nobody can help you until you do [10:10] Ramtron, if anyone would answer "yes", you would ask your real question [10:10] Ben64: ive tried it with vlc and vlc even doesnt start the file... i think the file is broken but is there a "workaround" maybe? [10:10] thechef there's this http://askubuntu.com/questions/16592/how-can-i-tell-whether-ubuntu-one-file-sync-is-working-and-what-progress-it-is [10:11] Knight7: you could re-encode it with mencoder or ffmpeg [10:11] Weird question: What happens if you reboot a server while ubuntu is in the middle of installing? Does it lose all the data it'd made so far, or does it retain where it left off? [10:12] err-or: yep I did reboot.. thats when things broke :) (no hdmi, wrong resolution) [10:12] anyone here familiar with the "sensors"-command? I'm trying to make sense of the output... what is the temperature reported by coretemp-isa-0000? [10:12] Zeno: Data crrectly written will be retained, data in the process of writing (already in the buffer, but not on the disk yet) will be lost most likely. [10:12] err-or: funnily the generic driver worked like a charm. [10:12] bekks, Mostly I'm interested in the network configuration [10:13] Zeno: And is stored in files. The above applies. [10:13] if i do Windows system recovery on C: , does my ubuntu get erased too. [10:14] bekks, Thanks, so if you reboot, even in mid-installation, the server will come up and reconnect to the network [10:14] err-or: this tool seems to have find the updated nvidia driver version, activating now.. lets see. [10:14] Zeno: Not necessarilly. [10:14] sidzi: You should have a backup before doing so. [10:15] err-or: "sorry installation of this driver failed.. check the log etc.etc...." [10:16] g_: maybe first uninstall the previously installed one [10:16] do I make complete back up of ubuntu using "Deja Vu" [10:16] err-or: how do I do that? [10:17] ah ok apt-get remove :) [10:22] How do I navigate to a file through the terminal? I'm not finding any information on it.

[10:30] nop [10:30] I just mistyped [10:31] Ramtron: great. You can check that the android-sdk-linux directory is in your current directory (~/Desktop), by listing all of the files first. Type « ls » [10:31] I see it there [10:31] Ramtron: so, now you can "cd" to it. Do that now [10:32] awesome, now LS then do tools? [10:32] ls* [10:32] Ramtron: sure [10:32] now I should be able to type ./android to execute the file?

[10:39] diverdude by then, your current LTS will be like a dinosaur [10:39] jrib: 5 years is not enough i would say [10:39] diverdude: Because you want to run an even older OS? :P [10:39] diverdude: Whatever you think about it - the LTS support is 5 years.

[10:46] so I'm thinking going back to windows 7 and either running ubuntu in vmware unity mode or slimming down windows and running ubuntu in vmware full screen [10:46] thank you decci [10:46] angs: welcome [10:46] ShapeShifter499 plenty options, whatever works for you [10:46] bekks, scanner, dialup/fax modem, iphone upgrading or restoring firmware... so far [10:47] shapeshifter499, what drivers are you trying to search? [10:47] I can't get my Canon scanner to work, either [10:47] ShapeShifter499: itunes never worked on linux, and isnt designed to do so. sane provides the scanner infrastructure and most likely, you'll need a fax server, etc. to use your modem for faxes. [10:47] blackshirt, scanner, dialup/fax modem, and last one isn't a driver but iphone upgrading or restoring firmware... so far [10:48] can anyone please help me with energy star? my enery star is getting reset to Standby: 48 Suspend: 72 Off: 96 no matter how many times I change it disable it or anything. I am facing this problem since many days, can anyone please help? [10:49] c2tarun: Whats an "Energy Star"? Some new alien technology? :) [10:49] bekks, well because 100% of my stuff works on windows I'll go back to that and run ubuntu in vmware [10:50] bekks: ohh... :) nope, it is something that controls the monitor on/off and saves some battery. try executing 'xset -q' on your machine, you'll see a dpms at the end, thats the energy star [10:50] shapeshifter499, thats a good choice :d [10:50] ShapeShifter499: You could use windows in a vm as well. [10:50] however I have ubuntu natively running on my netbook with everything working better then windows xD [10:50] c2tarun: if you're looking for random suggestions (since you've been at this for a while now): have you tried logging into different (preferably simpler, like fluxbox for example) environments? Does it get reset at boot, or only after login? [10:50] c2tarun: I dont see any energy stars here. All I have is dynamic power management :) [10:51] netbook - with ubuntu everything and wifi now now works big laptop - loads of things don't work under ubuntu... go figure [10:51] ShapeShifter499: "loads..." - you named only three, and one of them is well known for every itunes user :) [10:52] jrib: it gets reset at its will :( some times in a min, some times in 10 or 15. (at least I am not able to find a pattern). It has no connection is restarting/rebooting [10:52] bekks, is there a way to pass through the dial up modem to the windows vm? [10:52] Hi, guys [10:52] ShapeShifter499: Unless it is connected to your parallel port - yes. I'd use virtualbox instead of vmware. [10:53] Anyone know how to copy all files from system to another drive on working system? [10:53] I have ubuntu running from usb-stick, and want to copy it to another usb stick (second already have mbr) [10:53] bekks, well I think I fixed the random shutdown in ubuntu with drivers from a bleeding edge ppa but I don't know [10:54] bekks, xorg drivers that is [10:54] Ubuntu vesrion is ubuntu server [10:55] bekks, how do I pass though the dial up exactly? I've ran vm windows before and never saw an option [10:55] ShapeShifter499: So thats a solved issue. Two left :) [10:55] Actually - just one :) [10:55] ShapeShifter499: do what with dialup now [10:56] gogeta, get it working somehow, even if it means running windows in vm for it [10:56] !dialup [10:56] You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up [10:57] tried that already... the only driver seems messed up [10:57] ShapeShifter499: Which driver did you use? [10:57] martin-modem [10:58] ShapeShifter499: you check witch driver you nedded [10:58] gogeta, yes "martin-modem" [10:58] ShapeShifter499: Wrong. "martian-modem" was the package which was suggested to you. [10:58] does it dial [10:58] oh lol [10:59] bekks, ok but thats what I tried to get my modem working [10:59] its probly a soft modem [11:00] use the tool in the howto [11:00] you probly need the linmosem driver from dell [11:00] linmodem [11:02] it will tell you whhat modem you have and from there the correct drivee === PaulW2U_ is now known as G4MBY [11:04] this blows...... === G4MBY is now known as Guest7336 [11:05] I'll brb [11:05] I made a mistake with 32 bit over 64 bit on my laptop so I'm going to reinstall the right one and try one more thing with the drivers I have [11:06] if nothing happens I'll go back to windows [11:06] ShapeShifter499: Why dont you just stick with the howto to get it working? [11:07] bekks, I did, it landed me with martin-modem === Guest7336 is now known as G4MBY [11:07] bekks, I couldn't find the other "proprietary driver" [11:07] bekks, I'm running 12.04 bte [11:08] *btw [11:08] ShapeShifter499: martian-modem, not martin-modem.

[11:09] ShapeShifter499: So where's that howto exactly, and where are you stuck, exactly? [11:09] cant get to make nvidia work... [11:09] !dialup [11:10] right there [11:10] well anyways it points him to scan modem [11:10] there it e:-) will.list the type he has [11:11] All we need is the URL now... :P [11:11] scroll up [11:14] isn't using dialup a bit obsolete [11:14] not too much [11:14] There are still people/companies that do need faxing.

I think I removed it but I guess something is blocked [11:16] please help... [11:17] I give..... it seems WAY easier (especially for a noob like me) to go back to windows and run ubuntu in a vm [11:17] g_: How are you setting the resolution? Using the System Settings > Display, or Nvidia X Settings ? [11:17] Display [11:18] TJ-: (i'm on KDE) so I m using the menus Display.. the only resolution available is 640x [11:18] if I ever need native ubuntu I just use my netbook [11:18] ShapeShifter499: yea if you can't use a simple tool like scanmodem [11:18] g_: Unless you're using the very latest Nvidia 304.xx driver from precise-proposed, you'll have to use "Nvidia X Settings" to configure the screens [11:18] TJ-: got rid of nvidia setting as nothng worked (conflicts with my sound card etc etc..) [11:19] TJ-: as I said I apt-get removed all nvidia related things as my problems began after Installing them... [11:19] TJ-: Display was working just fine before :( [11:19] TJ-: would just like the general driver, not 3d stuff needed here.. [11:19] ShapeShifter499: I set up a modem years ago its a non issue [11:20] gogeta, my system is messed up anyways.... I need to reinstall to 64 bit ubuntu first [11:20] g_: If you've removed the nvidia proprietary drivers, then the system should be using the nouveau drivers. Check the log-file to confirm that ( /var/log/Xorg.0.log) [11:20] TJ-: which line am I searching for? [11:20] its currently 32 bit with chunks of 64 bit installed [11:20] so horribly messed up [11:20] ShapeShifter499: umm you can't do that [11:20] TJ-: yeah it's nouveau... [11:21] don't ask what I did [11:21] xD [11:21] gogeta: There are ways... :P [11:21] hi [11:21] g_: multiple lines that confirm that 'nouveau' is managing the GPU ... once you see the log-file you'll see the pattern. If the driver is "VESA" instead, that may explain not having multiple-screen options [11:21] TJ-: but still why is the laptop monitor doesnt wanna go above 640x (SONY VAIO) [11:21] !dialup === Jelly_ is now known as gelswip [11:21] not must be dead [11:22] bot [11:22] or it doesn't have a dialup trigger [11:22] !modem [11:22] You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up [11:22] lol [11:22] g_: The available modes depend upon which display driver is being used by X, and that the driver is reading the EDID information from the attached monitors [11:22] should I go ahead an reinstall the nvidia driver... [11:23] bekks, gogeta I'll brb in around 30 mins to a hour or so... I'll reinstall to 64 bit [11:23] which would be the best method to do so TJ- ? [11:23] its as simple as that guide [11:23] TJ-: I should get the latest latest driver.... [11:23] g_: First, determine what is in use now [11:23] TJ-: all I see here is nouveau nouveau nouveau.. (many of them) [11:23] bekks, gogeta but it wont look like I wen't anywhere, I have a online bnc service lol [11:24] TJ-: I also see the proper resolution mentioned ([ 46.321] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Modeline "1366x768"x0.0 72.00 1366 1388 1410 1430 768 776 784 840 -hsync -vsync (50.3 kHz)) [11:24] brb [11:24] g_: OK, then it's "nouveau" :) ... you should also see lots of lines with "modeline" immediately after a monitor has been discovered. That should help determine what monitors and modes the driver has found and can use [11:24] i'm trying to config infra-red receiver [11:24] g_: can you pastebin the log-file? [11:25] someone can help me with that? [11:25] gotta love nivida driver fail === witakr is now known as witakr|NiteNite === gelswip is now known as gelswippt [11:25] TJ-: there u go: http://pastebin.com/MYG01RdQ [11:26] Nite folks.. see you guys in about 18 hours [11:26] gogeta: :( next time I m buying a laptop or any device, NO NVIDIA. - [11:26] gogeta: No SONY Vaio for that matter either. [11:26] infrared that is a good one === gelswippt is now known as gelswip [11:26] Ati is far worse [11:26] g_: nvidia works great in linux [11:27] Ben64: doesnt seem to be the case in practice. [11:27] you should have installed with jockey instead of apt-get [11:27] it just sounds like it did not verbally the supported Res [11:27] Ben64: did it before, jockey failed. [11:27] Ben64: it couldnt activate the driver. [11:27] g_: that pastebin is missing some lines from the start of the log-file. Can you re-paste including them please? [11:28] give it a month on a brand new card [11:28] it will be fixed [11:29] TJ-: any terminal command to dumpy my log in pastebin without copying pasting around?:( [11:29] g_: from what I am seeing, I suspect the problem is there is a hard-coded /etc/X11/xorg.conf that is over-riding the resolutions detected [11:29] dump* [11:29] I would like an information about when to write a blueprint : someone ? [11:29] yes but I forgot the name [11:29] pastebinit [11:29] TJ-: actually I installed Ubuntu server 64bit and then installed kubuntu package on top. if that would have to do with anything. .. . [11:29] g_: If you "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" you can do "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" [11:30] does anyone know an distribution which is compatible with is networkcard? Broadcom Corporation BCM4321 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 03) [11:30] that might server does that have the kernel with CPU drivets [11:30] g_: probably the nvidia proprietary driver left its xorg.conf behind when you un-installed... if you can get me that complete log-file we'll soon know [11:30] drivers [11:30] or does anyone know where can i check that out? [11:30] dummy, any if you install the bcm drivers [11:30] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1251507/ [11:30] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1251507/ done :) Thanks for the shortcut :) Linux rules for that... [11:30] melodie, can install the bcm drivers on backtrack 5 ? [11:30] dummy, did you try the wiki ?

That confirms what I thought (Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf") so can you "pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" please? [11:31] g_: we already have gui [11:31] g_ what's keeping you from doing it?

[11:33] itilious, consider access [11:33] ode can be one [11:33] kde [11:33] itilious, precisely said: access rights to files aslo [11:33] g_: OK, let's lose that xorg.conf. "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.nvidia" then log-out to cause the X server to restart, and log-in again ... that should allow the auto-detected modes to take effect [11:34] TJ-: i thought the goal was to get nvidia working? [11:34] its just gnome and Ubuntu lost there minds lol [11:34] g_ http://www.ubuntu.com/community/get-involved [11:35] fantaghir, is is sufficient to just set the entire www directory and subfiles/directories to 775? [11:35] with www-data being the owner? [11:35] Ben64: no goal to make the right resolution available again - nvidia driver failed horribly :( [11:35] TJ-: reloggin [11:36] gooogle needs to drop the dead chrome is and make a official andorod x86. that would make waves [11:36] Ben64: one step at atime. "g_" reported that nvidia caused other problems. We're trying to get multi-monitors up to begin with [11:36] chrome os not the chrome browser [11:36] hey [11:36] but multi monitor works differently on nvidia driver, getting it to work on noveau doesn't help it on nvidia [11:36] don't suppose there's a way to make skype integrate with empathy [11:37] when i try to tip a message in #backtrack-linux it says: Cannot send to channel. What can i do?? [11:37] TJ-: it worked fine. Thanks.. I hope I'll be able to find these things on my own one day :) [11:37] not tip i mean send sorry [11:37] TJ-: any reason to attempt to install the nvidia driver? (if I dont plan to do any gaming or such..) (KDE) [11:37] g_: Now, do you want to get nvidia driver installed and working correctly, so you'll have full 3D acceleration? [11:38] TJ-: I could try.

I'm running DWM and would like to be able to login to unity too for touch usage. (I have a tablet PC) [11:39] not OkropNick : what is that stupid configuration ? [11:39] g_: If it gives you confidence, I have a VGN-FE41Z here I've been using 100% successfully with the nvidia drivers since 2007ish [11:40] melodie: if you want to talk to yourself, I suggest doing so in a private message [11:40] g_: show me the result of "lspci -nn | grep VGA" please [11:40] Any HW gurus around? I'm trying to make sense of my "sensors" (lm_sensors) config... what is "nouveau-pci-0300" PCI adapter... what does it refer to? [11:40] thanks Ben64, this is the most irrelevant suggest I ever got on a chan. wouldn't you rather tell me where some guys knowing about blueprints can inform me ?

[11:58] tomaz: launch it with: java -Xmx1024M -Xms512M -cp Minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame, also please use Sun's JVM. [11:58] TJ-: although my idea of installing Ubuntu server and then KDE on top wasn't a good one (that was the problem) I think there is some Xorg setting or something in a file I need to comment out or change.. but dont know where to look. Any luck for nvidia driver? [11:58] hi am new to ubuntu i was using ubuntu 10.10 since last 2 yrs , after uploading to 11.10 my hard disc got some bad sectors and i changed it after that some one recomended using an win 8 but was feeling bad of that OS i installed linuxmint but now i got some issues with linuxmint too i would like to go back to ubuntu which version i should select [11:58] TJ-: in case I go idle I'll be helping the missus , but all messages stay so dont hesitate :-) [11:59] i would like to have unity destop [11:59] g_: OK, I don't see any reason for problems with the nvidia driver. I would suggest though, that you consider using the nvidia 304.xx driver (currently in precise-proposed and in the x-swat/xorg/ PPA) because it now supports xrandr so you can use the system Display applet to configure multi-monitors at last! No more needing nvidia-x-settings for that [11:59] g_: what have you tried since moving the xorg.conf? [11:59] iuse 1215t [11:59] asus [11:59] drsa2: Sorry, I didnt get your sentence without interpunctuation. [11:59] tomaz, is minecraft in your home folder?

[12:00] tomaz, can you open one in ubuntu? the program is called Terminal [12:01] drsa2, i think any linux would work greatly with your eeepc [12:01] in ubuntu id working [12:01] drupod: can you enen install another os at all will be the big question [12:01] in windows not working [12:01] minecraft is working in ubuntu? [12:01] i was using 32bit ..before it got burned when i updated it to 12.04 [12:01] i changed my hdd [12:02] tomaz, it's a good idea to specify that you need help with Windows when asking for support in an Ubuntu channel. [12:02] TJ-: should I use the URL or should I just do apt-get nvidia-current or current-updates ? [12:02] drsa2: There is no reason to not use 64bit on 64bit hardware. [12:03] g_: you add the ppa with the instructions there first [12:03] Ben64: what is the PPA ?:) [12:03] tomaz, go to www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp and confirm you have latest java version [12:03] sorry really am new to computing , i would like to do partion and then instal 12.04 [12:04] !ppa | g_ [12:04] g_: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

[12:05] dr_willis, i bought the laptop with windows c.e installed i've succesfully installed android and now i want to install ubuntu [12:05] no [12:05] g_: The "Read about installing" link tells you to do "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates" [12:05] i only use linux [12:05] drsa2: Then just install 12.04 and select "use entire harddisk". [12:05] drupod: im suprised you were able to do that. [12:06] no [12:06] drsa2: Why not? [12:06] i need partitions in it [12:06] g_: i'm still not sure what you mean by making it default [12:06] drsa2: Because...? [12:06] drupod: find a arm server image/iso and go for it i guess. ;) [12:06] because i lost all my data 10gb of books while updating from10.4 to 10.10 [12:06] Ben64: wait I ll log out to see what ll happen now [12:06] so i would like to have a safe update too [12:06] drsa2: You have to have a backup of your data prior installing. [12:07] dr_willis, thanks [12:07] drupod: It depends on which ARM core is in the device. The Ubuntu ARM builds require later versions than the Debian builds. [12:07] 'data worth keeping is data worth backing up' [12:07] i i know but is it possible to partition and install [12:07] drsa2: Yes, it is. But create backup before. [12:08] ya now i got a new disk, old one got some bad sectors [12:08] power failuer while resizeing partitions is not fun drsa2 . backup befor resizeing [12:09] so can you tel how to do partition [12:09] drupod: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM and "Ubuntu targets the ARMv7 and above Application Processor family (Cortex A8, A9 and above). Currently the archive supports ARM EABI, with an expectation of minimum compliance with the ARMv7+VFP ISA. Where possible Ubuntu targets the Thumb2 instruction set.

[12:11] drsa2: this is to be a linux only box? how big a hard disk? [12:11] ya but do i have a tutorial for that [12:11] 500 [12:11] hi, I have a question.

[12:12] 500gb [12:12] drsa2: id partion similer to this, 15gb for /, a few gb for swap, rest for /home [12:12] drsa2, thats more than enough [12:13] ok [12:13] drsa2 my advice, keep free space for an additional partition [12:14] Hello ubuntu [12:14] hello redfrontend [12:15] so shall i do like 15gb for /, and 5gb for swap and 100 gb for home balance free space , do i have to make swap as promary or logical [12:15] first time here and fell really great [12:16] redfrontend, good luck :d [12:16] drsa2: you can have 4 primaries. so you could do them all primary [12:17] drsa2: either way wont matter much [12:17] Newb101: found it: Select area, Select -> Float (or Shift+CTRL+L), Move, Layer->Anchor Layer (or CTRL+H or Click outside of Selection) [12:18] I often don't use float but copy and paste [12:18] when i intalled linux mint i have two p[artitions of 150GB, and i think both are in primary i am trying to maintain that [12:19] drsa2: linux is not real picky about it. if i use 4 or less partitions i tend to make them all primary [12:19] hey guys, i have a script im trying to run from terminal, when i do ./script it says "no such file or directory" .. anyone know how to fix that?

[12:27] no i am not happy with it i would like to go with ubuntu [12:27] drag0nz: That's not a shell-script; it's an ELF binary executable [12:27] my question is will it make any problems after i install 12.04 [12:28] drsa2: will what make any problems? [12:28] TJ-, hmm how can i run this than? on windows or something? [12:28] drag0nz: where did that binary come from? [12:28] drag0nz: do "file " - that will tell you what kind of file it is, tell us what it reports [12:29] home and / are primary , swap is logical , /books /photos are already partitioned as primary [12:29] drag0nz: Is this where it comes from? http://www.redsquirrel87.com/trpex.html [12:30] TJ-, dr_willis, yes, this is exactly where its from [12:30] drsa2: You cant have 4 primary partitions AND an extended partition, as you are stating. [12:30] drsa2: you can have 4 primary MAX, if you want a logical then that will need to be in an extended.. which will take away one of the primaries [12:30] it supposed to extract images === edve_ is now known as edve [12:31] 3 primaries, one extended (holding a lot of logicals) [12:31] TJ-, this is what "file" returns http://pastebin.com/XEctar9e [12:32] drag0nz: I downloaded the ZIP, extracted it, changed to the directory "TRPEX" and did "./trpex" and it runs OK [12:32] Hey guys, how do I activate a screen saver at my Ubuntu?

[12:35] TJ-, i unziped the file using "unzip file.zip" , went to the directory and ran ./trpex and thats what it shows [12:36] hmm i shall try installintg [12:36] drag0nz: 32bit or 64bit os? [12:36] drag0nz: You are on NTFS, which does not support POSIX permissions. If you want to run it, copy it over to your linux filesystem. [12:36] dr_willis, 64bit [12:37] is the linux core optimized just as much for intel processors as mac and windows are? [12:37] bekks, what do you mean? im on my ubuntu desktop [12:37] drag0nz: show us "ls -altr ~/Documents/psm/TRPEX" please [12:37] drag0nz: chmoding a file on ntfs/vfat does not change anytthing [12:37] drag0nz: then run ls -lha to see wether the file actually exists with that name. [12:37] TJ-: you are on 64bit also? [12:38] dr_willis: I'm on a 64-bit installation; the trpex is ELF is 32-bit - it runs fine [12:38] TJ-, bekks, this is the output http://pastebin.com/zZQAcWQA [12:38] isent there some ia64 compatability libs needded for that?

[12:40] hmm. what release was he using? [12:40] dr_willis: Looks like a 'noexec' issue to me with the error msg from bash [12:40] TJ-, http://pastebin.com/X3RgC8Hf [12:41] Drag0nir: OK, thanks.

[12:43] very good, ty TJ- one last question, though it's not official, do you know where I might find the 64 bit of kernel 3.4+ [12:43] it was the ia32 libs [12:43] ran after installing them [12:43] good call dr_willis [12:44] and its 12.01.1 LTS :) [12:44] drag0nz: Hmmm; that's supposed to be installed by default [12:44] 12.04.1 :P [12:44] drag0nz 12.04.1 [12:44] i guess it wasnt.. im installing it on my server as well to see what happens [12:45] Hey guys, how do I activate a screen saver at my Ubuntu? [12:45] webfox: you mean what hotkey? or what exactlty [12:45] drag0nz: If you hit that kind of issue in future, the one thing we didn't do that would have helped would have been "ldd trpex" which would reveal missing libraries [12:45] Hi, can someone help me with awesome?

[14:41] Hi I am trying to understand for ubuntu 12.04 secure boot, what is the relationship between the grub , Intel UEFI and ubuntu framework to support secure boot? Thx [14:41] bizhanMona: no-one knows yet, as there is no secure boot [14:41] I've figured out which driver I need for my imac by installing it on windows. Now, back on ubuntu, I'm trying to figure out how to install it. It's this one: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx. Can I install drivers in ubuntu using the installer? [14:42] RWOverdijk: that's a windows driver [14:42] ikonia: I know. That's why I'm asking. [14:42] TJ-: installed the PPA :) what should I do now === Guest99477 is now known as Jd46 [14:43] I saw yesterday someone with Mac(donalds) was trying to install linux on his beast but couldn't boot the distributions [14:43] RWOverdijk: you can't use the windows driver [14:43] ikonia: Before, it was quite difficult to help me because I had no idea what I needed. Now I know I need that specific driver, and I'm asking what to do next. [14:43] sayers: that's nothing to do with this channel [14:43] RWOverdijk: you don't need that specific driver, as that's for windows [14:44] see RW0verdijk, he asked for the installation info [14:44] bizhanMona: Have you seen http://blog.canonical.com/2012/09/20/quetzal-is-taking-flight-update-on-ubuntu-secure-boot-plans/ [14:44] ikonia: in Intel Development Forum (IDF) in San Francisco, Ubuntu representative (and Fedora) they announce UEFI secure boot framework. [14:44] bizhanMona: annouced [14:44] that's it [14:45] ikonia: Okay fine, I'll rephrase then. I've found a driver that works for me on windows. It's the one I just linked to. Now I'm hoping that you, based on that driver, can point me to one that will work on ubuntu. [14:45] is there someone with lxc skills, i have the problem that the route defined in /etc/network/interfaces up route add default gw ip and other routes not set on startup inside the lxc container, which are ubuntu 12.04 [14:45] hi, ffmpeg is no longer supported? [14:45] i want to compress audio file, is there another application of use? [14:45] bizhanMona: you cannot buy ubuntu, sorry [14:45] ikonia: do you see the specific question asked by RW0verdijk now ? [14:46] quixotedon, install ubuntu-restricted-extras [14:46] Calinou: sorry not sure what you mean? [14:47] BluesKaj: thanks!! is this for prolonging the use of ffmpeg? === mike is now known as Guest86473 === Guest86473 is now known as mikftt [14:48] ffmpeg is part of the package , quixotedon , at least I'm quite sure it still is [14:48] quixotedon, if not just install ffmpeg [14:49] BluesKaj: i have the winffmpeg installed but somehow it said: the application is predecated.. :( [14:49] quixotedon: Yes, FFmpeg is deprecated, you should use avconv instead [14:49] Goodbye guys [14:50] quixotedon: However if you can't (for instance you're using winff), then just keep using ffmpeg for now [14:50] hmm, let me try first and see what happens next, thanks theadmin & BluesKaj [14:50] quixotedon: winff works fine here [14:51] anybody knows a good audio compress application?? [14:51] theadmin: really? [14:52] yup here as well , haven't tried the new avconv since ffmpeg still works for me [14:52] quixotedon: Yeah, I just converted a video, worked fine [14:52] hi all :) [14:53] i run ubuntu 12.04 64 bit, i want an application to run at start up, but i want the desktop to load, then wait 5 mins and then to run the startup command, how can i achieve that? [14:53] funky1: Write a script with: sleep 5m && exec your_command [14:53] theadmin: it's not working here [14:53] funky1: If you want timed processes, perhaps write a script? [14:53] quixotedon: Oh, odd, do you have libavcodec-extra-53 installed? [14:54] ah yeah [14:54] didn't think of that, will give it a go, thanks :) [14:55] Hum... Did I format my question wrong again?

[14:57] Im having problems with x-server [14:58] I would like to get my 'fn' key on my apple alu bluetooth keyboard working, keys recorded in xev come in 2 times... (ie. press left and it shows up twice) and the 'fn' key shows no input [14:58] :) [14:58] I've found a driver that works for me on windows (http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx). Based on that driver, does any know what I can do to make it so that it will work on ubuntu? (problem with imac, 2 years old. i5 processor). [14:58] Who would be able to help me fix x-server? [14:58] xsiic: Be more specific, what is your problem? [14:58] RWOverdijk, you need a driver for what hardware ? === nope is now known as kamidi [14:59] dfadeur: I've done some reading up on the kernel mailing list. That suggests that some systems have "vendor specific port-switching methods". I read that to mean that unless a platform-specific software switch is used, the EHCI controller will retain ownership of ports. It wouldn't surprise me if the Windows drivers for the laptop 'know' how to do that, but the info hasn't been released to open-source developers. This is speculation though, in the absence of clues on [14:59] your laptop [14:59] RWOverdijk: Hm... AMD does provide Linux drivers. The official AMD driver is in the repos ("sudo apt-get install fglrx-amdcccle"), but whether it will work for you or not is out of my knowledge. [14:59] theadmin: Added more info to the question, also. mounting to self btw? I don't getit, I just used / :p [14:59] BluesKaj: video, on my imac [14:59] I have a Lenovo Y570 and when I reset xorg.conf using 'nvidia-xconfig', my resolution went down to 640x480 (normally 1366x768) and now I can't get it back. [14:59] RWOverdijk: Yeah, I was silly and didn't understand the concept of mountpoints [15:00] theadmin: That's not the one that ubuntu suggests right after installation? [15:00] RWOverdijk: Uhm... It could be, if you mean the one suggested by the Hardware Drivers tool, then yes [15:00] theadmin: Me neither. I have no idea what I did. I just know that I use cd / a lot so I just went with that one :p [15:01] theadmin: Yeah I tried those... there are two drivers there, one of which is causing me problems. [15:01] RWOverdijk, ok , which graphics card ? [15:01] BluesKaj: I think theadmin already helped me out by pointing out this one "sudo apt-get install fglrx-amdcccle" [15:01] RWOverdijk: If it's the "post-release upgrades", then don't install those, they never work [15:01] RWOverdijk: Not for me anyway [15:01] I have a Lenovo Y570 and when I reset xorg.conf using 'nvidia-xconfig', my resolution went down to 640x480 (normally 1366x768) and now I can't get it back. [15:01] theadmin: Ah, yes it was that one. The other one doesn't help much, either. I'll try again, brb :p [15:02] xsiic: the proprietary driver messed up, install the open source one [15:02] apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau [15:02] (with sudo) [15:02] RWOverdijk, if you ran the command for ther fglrx driver then you have to reboot to finish the install [15:02] xsiic: Well, removing xorg.conf ("sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf") will go back to the default config [15:03] Alright, thanks Calinou and theadmin. [15:03] xsiic: That means the /etc/X11/xorg.conf contains limiting settings. See 'theadmin' suggestion - that'll return to auto-probing [15:03] BluesKaj: Yeah I figured.. Thanks for confirming :) I'll reboot. [15:03] anyone know how to make pommed work with a non-apple machine [15:04] it says i cant remove it because it doesnt exist [15:04] xsiic: Sure you typed it right? The X is uppercase and stuff (just paste my command in) === Jikan is now known as Jikai [15:04] ok, didnt know it needed to be case sensitive [15:05] xsiic: That's Linux for you, it's case-sensetive [15:05] TJ-: you there ? :) [15:05] g_: I am [15:05] TJ-: I was on the point of installing the latest latest nvidia driver so was wondering what was the best practice ... [15:06] theadmin: libavcodec-extra-53 is not installed yet, installing in progress [15:06] quixotedon: Good, that should fix your winff problems [15:06] theadmin: I... It works? [15:06] RWOverdijk: ? [15:06] theadmin: Even unity is fast now. [15:06] thanks a lot theadmin [15:07] RWOverdijk: You can do sort of a check by running a 3D game or something lol [15:07] theadmin: I'm surprised. I did the exact same thing yesterday. Only difference was that I installed gnome3, and wasn't using unity. [15:07] !cookie | theadmin [15:07] theadmin: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [15:07] theadmin: Any suggestions for a game I could quickly install? [15:07] g_: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nvidia-current" ... that'll cause the DKMS to build the kernel module. Then restart and it should be in use. [15:07] RWOverdijk: I don't really do gaming much these days so I dunno, sorry [15:07] RWOverdijk: tuxracer :) [15:08] TJ-: I dont need the other packages? (settings config etc) [15:08] actionParsnip: No items match in software center :p [15:08] RWOverdijk: if you bought any of the humble bundles - a lot of those are ported to linux [15:08] g_: no, that will pull in all the required packages [15:08] !info extremetuxracer [15:08] TJ-: cool, let's see if that'll work this time:) [15:08] extremetuxracer (source: extremetuxracer): 3D racing game featuring Tux, the Linux penguin. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4-4 (precise), package size 235 kB, installed size 680 kB [15:09] RWOverdijk: make sure you have universe repo enabled [15:09] TJ_: i think you mean it's dead for my case [15:09] TJ-: will loging out and login in again be enough for it to be active? or do I need a system reboot [15:09] actionParsnip: Found it. [15:09] RWOverdijk: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bd/Tuxracer.png/781px-Tuxracer.png [15:09] actionParsnip: I copy pasted no spaces and no extreme :p [15:09] dr_willis: I was going to. It's for charity. But first I want a stable system [15:09] g_: once it has finished, check the installed version using "apt-cache policy nvidia-current". No, log-out isn't usually sufficient, because the nouveau kernel module will be in place. [15:10] TJ-: Installed: 304.51-0ubuntu1~precise~xup1 [15:10] theadmin: It worked, thanks! [15:11] actionParsnip, theadmin: game works like a charm. [15:11] !yay | xsiic, RWOverdijk [15:11] xsiic, RWOverdijk: Glad you made it! :-) [15:11] RWOverdijk: great game :D [15:11] haha [15:11] yes [15:11] g_: That's the one :) [15:11] I'll try gnome3 again. If it once again uses 100% cpu I know it's not the driver... [15:11] Anyone want to look at this crash report? Muon Software Center crashes right after I open it, or as it open. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2064628 [15:11] RWOverdijk: if you like counterstrike, grab urbanterror from playdeb :) [15:11] Now does anyone here have any experience with Bumblebee? [15:11] TJ-: I reboot now.. let's see. I am afraid my hdmi monitor wont work etc :( [15:11] g_: have faith :D [15:12] xsiic: Sort of, what's the actual question? [15:12] Oh, wait, bumblebee... I'm thinking bitlbee [15:12] actionParsnip: I've never played a lot of games. But counterstrike videos do look cool. I might install it. [15:12] xsiic, there is a #bumblebee channel here on #freenode, those guys are up2date [15:12] actionParsnip: Don't slap me but, what's playdeb? [15:12] OerHeks: Alright, thanks for letting me know. [15:12] TJ_: i think you mean it's dead for my case [15:12] theadmin: Thank you for your quick, helpful response. You're awesome! :p [15:12] RWOverdijk: its a 3rd party source of packages for some great games [15:13] actionParsnip: playdeb.net, found it. Looks cool [15:13] RWOverdijk: *le blush* === fisted_ is now known as fisted [15:14] The level of support offered by theadmin is TOO DAMN HIGH [15:14] dfadeur: No, that info helps us understand what is going on, and why in some cases the ports don't seem to be working as we expect. From what I can tell, in summary, the USB controllers have a Port Routing Mask register, or should have, and the USB2 and USB2 PRMs should be set to allow the USB3 controller to handle some ports. My guess right now is, that isn't happening [15:14] RWOverdijk: It's common here, people help people [15:14] See what I did there, I countered your "le" with "too damn high" guy. :p [15:14] theadmin: Yesterday people were mainly busy being mad at eachother. [15:14] TJ-: no 2nd monitor, bad primary monitor resolution :( where do I start? [15:14] RWOverdijk: you can add the PPA by installing: http://archive.getdeb.net/install_deb/playdeb_0.3-1~getdeb1_all.deb [15:15] RWOverdijk: you can then use the links on the playdeb site to install apps easily [15:15] RWOverdijk: Hm, that's kinda against rules here [15:15] RWOverdijk: The Penumbra series is very worth the cash, as are the humble bundles :) [15:15] Also, I normally have a second monitor attached through HDMI to my laptop and then I use it as my main monitor. Are there any steps I'd have to take to get that to work? [15:16] theadmin: I figured. Good to see that it was just a bad first impression :) [15:16] g_: OK, in the Ubuntu dashboard, type "nvidia" and you should see "Nvidia X Settings". Launch that. [15:16] any reason why Firefox would constantly crash/slow down on ubuntu? [15:16] TJ-: did it, message: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. [15:16] actionParsnip: I also pay for apps on my tablet. It;s not a lot of money, and it helps out people that deserve it. So I'm already sold :) [15:16] g_: urghh! [15:17] aguadito: flash or addons can be usual culprits [15:17] firefox has just sort of randomly started going "dim" and crashing [15:17] RWOverdijk: devs gotta eat. I love the apps for 60p etc, great value :) === ubuntu is now known as Guest15957 [15:17] g_: OK, can you, from a terminal, do "pastebinit /var/log/dmesg" and then "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" and tell me the URLs please? [15:17] TJ-: g@G-PLUS:~$ apt-cache policy nvidia-current nvidia-current:Installed: 304.51-0ubuntu1~precise~xup1 [15:17] aguadito: firefox chews ram like nobody elses business [15:17] actionParsnip: Exactly. though I can't find counterstrike. [15:18] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1251948/ [15:18] RWOverdijk: did you install the deb I linked? [15:18] actionParsnip: yes. [15:18] RWOverdijk: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install urbanterror [15:18] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1251949/ (the Xorg.0.log) [15:19] actionParsnip: working. what's urbanterror? [15:19] theadmin: it works finally,, many thanks [15:19] aguadito: is it when you use flash things? [15:19] RWOverdijk: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=urban%20terror [15:20] g_: Xorg.0.log shows "(EE) NVIDIA: Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module." and dmesg confirms it wasn't loaded, so we need to check that out first [15:20] RWOverdijk: its based on the unreal engine so you can do wall jumpng [15:20] actionParsnip: It reminds me of assaultcube just less realistic [15:20] ah there you go.. haha [15:21] TJ-: ok! I'm all ears:) (eyes) [15:21] RWOverdijk: yeah the idea is less realistic, more fun [15:22] actionParsnip: Downloading :3 [15:22] Am I the only one who loves gnome 3 more than unity by the way? [15:22] g_: First, let's make sure the kernel module was built by DKMS. "ls -ltr /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates/dkms/" [15:23] TJ-: ls: cannot access /lib/modules/3.2.0-29-generic/updates/dkms/: No such file or directory [15:23] actionParsnip, i'm trying to reproduce it now [15:24] g_: ho-hum! OK ... I want you to try forcing a reinstallation of the nvidia-current package, and copy the output from the terminal to a pastebin when it's done. "sudo apt-get --reinstall install nvidia-current" [15:24] I have a pair of USB speakers that I want to connect to an ubuntu installation without the Sound Settings menu (XBMCBuntu). Normally I would just select these speakers as output in the sound settings menu, (in the "play sound through" box) -- how can I do something equivalent at the command line? [15:25] RWOverdijk: unity is a shell for Gnome3, so by using Unity you also are running Gnome3 [15:26] actionParsnip: I don't really believe that o,0 If that were true, than why do I have to install gnome3 individually? Or is that just some other shell? [15:26] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1251975/ [15:26] RWOverdijk: you probably installed Gnome shell, or gnome panel [15:26] !unity | RWOverdijk [15:26] RWOverdijk: Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity [15:26] RWOverdijk: ^ [15:27] actionParsnip: I think I meant the shell than. With the small black bar on top [15:27] actionParsnip: then* [15:27] g_: aha! "Module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed." [15:27] RWOverdijk: its still gnome underneat [15:27] g_: what does "dpkg-query -l 'linux*' report ? [15:28] actionParsnip: Okay. I'll rephrase :) Am I the only one that likes the gnome3 shell better than the unity shell? (Or is that still wrong terminology?) [15:28] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1251980/ [15:28] RWOverdijk: I'm sure a tonne of folks prefer Gnome Shell :) [15:29] I think unity is just too young [15:29] g_: let's install the headers. "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-3.2.0-29-generic" [15:29] good morning folks [15:29] RWOverdijk, isn't gnome-shell younger than unity? === kaktuskuchen is now known as Guest97231 [15:30] blz: I have no idea actually. I've known gnome for a while, and only heard of unity about a year ago [15:30] I'm trying to add a custom keymap for delete, what is the command? === prath_ is now known as prath [15:30] TJ-: maybe all this because I installed UBUNTU Server version and not desktop :( [15:30] RWOverdijk, gnome != gnome-shell, though. Both unity and gnome-shell rely on gnome3, I believe [15:30] anyone good with sudo? on 8.04: username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/vzctl, it'll work fine without a password, but right after i can do sudo id and it dont prompt for a passwd but just exec's it [15:30] I think you're talking about gnome-classic [15:30] ie. or such [15:30] is there a free or buildin automated ftp client on 12.4? [15:30] (I admit it's somewhat confusing) [15:30] g_: Usually the headers are installed when the standard kernel packages are installed... never mind, we can fix it, we have the technology! [15:31] actionParsnip: That's very interesting by the way. Nowhere does it say that gnome3 is a shell. It just says "install gnome3" in several articles. Thanks for the information :) [15:31] TJ-: haha :) I know, everything can be fixed in *nix. > Headers installed. [15:31] Stars: filezilla [15:31] if people dont use the kernel dep's they wont get em. [15:31] g_: I noticed you have the .31 kernel and headers installed, but are currently using the .29 version [15:31] Stars: `sudo apt-get install filezilla` [15:31] RWOverdijk: gnome3 is a desktop, the gnoe shell is the shell that runs on top :) [15:31] RWOverdijk, if you like the old-style gnome interface, you should be able to install gnome-classic from the repos [15:31] blz: Yeah, like I just told actionParsnip, it's confusing when you have titles like "Installing Gnome 3 on Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin)" [15:31] TJ-: I installed .29 :) [15:31] yekoms: 8.04 is only supported on servers (and not for much longer), you should consider upgrading [15:32] RWOverdijk, It's a nomenclature nightmare =/ [15:32] tyler_d, will filezilla do automated schedule time? [15:32] But I'm glad that I know now :) [15:32] g_: OK, with the headers in place, you can retry the reinstallation "sudo apt-get --reinstall install nvidia-current" [15:32] i dont want to upgrade. i like 8.04 for openvz. so how about my sudo issue. [15:32] Stars: why not simply use a bash script and add it to your cron? [15:32] g_: check the output... make sure it doesn't say again "Module build for the currently running kernel was skipped..." [15:32] yekoms: i fail to see your issue [15:32] blz: Also thanks for teaching me a new word. [15:33] haha [15:33] RWOverdijk: its all layers. Xorg + Gnome3+ Gnome-Shell + Compiz [15:33] TJ-: I think it passed alright. [15:33] I need assistance regarding mysql. [15:33] tyler_d, i need to set weekly backup and ftp to another server how can i do it [15:33] TJ-: yeah, installing .29 fixed it. [15:33] with the line above, username can issue: sudo vzctl like hes supposed too, but he can also do sudo id, which returns 0, and sudo passwd to change root. all from that command. [15:33] actionParsnip: I see... And am I crossing the line if I ask you what android is then? [15:33] TJ-: I reboot ! [15:33] yekoms if you disable sudo pass, why do you think we can help with "right after i can do sudo id and it dont prompt for a passwd but just exec's it" ? [15:33] g_: great... and you ought to be able to get away without rebooting... [15:34] TJ-: ah let me see then [15:34] g_: try "sudo modprobe nvidia_current)updates" [15:34] dosn't sudo allow a user to sudo just a single file without pass, but not others? [15:34] RWOverdijk: its some custom UI with linux kernel etc [15:34] Stars: a good start would be https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto [15:34] g_: oops, typo! try "sudo modprobe nvidia_current_updates" [15:34] yekoms: what do you expect when you disable passwords [15:34] How can I edit my xorg.conf such that an external monitor will be the *only* output for my laptop? In addition, I'd like for the output to be at the native resolution for the external display (1920x1080). [15:34] actionParsnip: Ah. So like ubuntu, fedora etc? [15:34] if you disable a password it will allow you to execute anything I would suppose. [15:34] uhm, since i set it for a single binary command, just allow username root permissions to said binary... [15:34] tyler_d, thanks [15:34] TJ-: FATAL: Module nvidia_current_updates not found. [15:34] like the manual even says. [15:35] Stars: no worries, best of luck [15:35] RWOverdijk: its a lot different [15:35] yekoms, add the all no password to you sudoers file by doing , sudo visudo in the temrinal , then add the near the bottom , then ctrl +0 , then hit enter , and ctrl+X [15:37] so sudoers chains like iptables? [15:37] actionParsnip: I love learning that stuff. Sorry if my questions are getting annoying. Then just tell me so :) [15:37] g_: grrr! "ls -ltr /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates/dkms/" [15:37] does anyone know the command name or keybinding for delete? [15:37] RWOverdijk, lets get back on topic please [15:37] YoMomma, , I don't know [15:37] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15194704 Sep 30 17:33 nvidia.ko [15:37] TJ-: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15194704 Sep 30 17:33 nvidia.ko [15:37] Anyone want to look at this crash report?

[15:37] BluesKaj, the way you explained it, is just like how iptables works. [15:37] TJ-: we installe nvidia-current , not the -updates... [15:37] g_: ah! On my systems it is named "nvidia-current-updates" !! ... so do "sudo modprobe nvidia" then check it is in memory "lsmod | grep nvidia" [15:37] bazhang: Right, sorry. [15:37] first rule to match, is applied. then continue the configuration script [15:37] actionParsnip: Just installed gnome shell. rebooting :) [15:37] g_: yes... I have the same version, but from precise-proposed :p [15:37] Also the tab feature to fill in file names in terminal only tabs across like a regular tab. Any reason why on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Server? [15:37] yekoms, ok , I don't use iptables [15:37] Herc, bash-completion isnt installed. [15:37] TJ-: g@G-PLUS:~$ sudo modprobe nvidia : FATAL: Module nvidia_current not found. [15:37] Herc: Are you using the bash shell? or just dash ? [15:37] Since #bumblebee isn't much help right now, does anyone know how to get bbswitch working? I installed bumblebee, but I don't know what to do from here. [15:37] do you use a firewall? [15:38] does ubuntu have a social channel ? [15:38] !keytouch [15:38] g_: double-grr this is getting sully [15:38] Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net/ - See !Keyboard for changing layouts. A list of keyboard shortcuts for Unity is available at http://ubottu.com/y/shortcuts [15:38] TJ-: maybe I'll reboot :-) [15:38] I was on the gui side and ran terminal from there. [15:38] g_: good idea :p [15:38] would that be dash? [15:38] TJ-, even in terminal or dash it'll do the same, unless its a GUI thing then it wouldnt. [15:38] Herc: depends on which shell the user is configured to use [15:38] kenalex, #ubuntu-offtopic [15:38] Herc, Dash as in unity application thing. [15:38] thanks [15:38] I switched to gnome [15:38] no unity? are you in a terminal or ? [15:39] terminal. [15:39] yekoms: Herc started from Ubuntu-server and installed the gnome-desktop on top, I think [15:39] and tab returns " " ? [15:39] yes. [15:39] Herc: "echo $SHELL" [15:39] It had unity but I switched it to gnome. [15:39] TJ-, thats how i do my GUI setups. [15:39] one sec. [15:39] herc, echo $SHELL [15:39] lol TJ- [15:40] yekoms: stop stealing my typos :p [15:40] is it possible to have grub written in extended partition ?..I just installed ubuntu 12.04 but it automatically boots win like there is no other system..

[15:42] azm, Win7 first, then ubuntu? [15:42] $SHELL [15:42] yep [15:42] TJ-: works like a charm...

No one at #bumblebee is responding. [15:43] not getting anything. [15:43] yekoms, yea 4gb only [15:43] Gorilla_No_Baka: usb3 is very new, what kernel are you using? [15:43] thats big enough, back up the data.. we're going to use it for a LiveCD. [15:43] let me get out of the gui and go to command line.

[15:44] then do the procfs aswell? [15:44] no [15:44] thats not in manual [15:44] heh, hold on a moment please. [15:45] TJ-: I'll sure do so :-) [15:45] azm, is this what you followed? http://www.howtogeek.com/114884/how-to-repair-grub2-when-ubuntu-wont-boot/ [15:45] It's stuck in my home directoy. [15:46] Hello, someone told me I could ask this here. I'm using Ubuntu and I have a 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03), and I listen sound from the headphone and from the speakers. How could I fix it, in order to listen sound only from the headphones when they are pluged? [15:46] my disk looks like this : primary-primary-primary(all ntfs)-extended-ext4-ext4-ntfs [15:46] May someone give me the proper syntax to go to that directory to run $Shell since I am not getting a response. [15:48] azm, what drive contains the mbr? [15:48] dunno [15:48] Herc: Have you got gnome-terminal open with a command prompt showing? [15:48] probably the windows one ? [15:48] Herc, you have to cap entire SHELL. [15:48] azm, the mbr is the drive selected in bios for Drive 1st. [15:48] I am in the command line where you hit ctrl +alt + F1 [15:48] ah so I should change in bios to sdb 4 ? [15:48] azm: MBR is Master Boot Record. It's the first sector (512 bytes) on a hard disk. [15:48] yea [15:48] if the MBR is on the boot drive sdb4 [15:48] azm: http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-repairrestorereinstall-grub-2-with-a-ubuntu-live-cd/ [15:48] that is how its properly done from a LiveCD. [15:48] azm: When a system boots, the BIOS reads the devices in the boot-order, reads the MBR and sees if it has boot-code in it. If it does, it loads it into memory and executes it [15:48] Herc: which directory do you want to go to? [15:48] don't take no more then 10 minutes. [15:48] I was told to go to /bin/bash to run $Shell but I don't get anything [15:49] Tj-, all drives can contain a mbr, but the one he needs is the main drive listed as 1ST in bios :P [15:49] I'm trying to set alt-delete to "delete" [15:49] export SHELL=/bin/bash; echo $SHELL [15:49] Herc: seems a bit weird, what to achieve? [15:49] Herc: No, that's not the command line. We need you to open a Terminal window. In the dash type "Terminal" and launch it [15:53] he want bash-completion. [15:53] wants* [15:53] yekoms: oh thats easy [15:53] yekoms, and If I do the chroot the grub will intall itself automatically to mbr ? [15:53] so I dont have to do additional changes [15:53] apt-get install bash-completion lol. well thats how i did it on freebsd, cept its done via port install bash-completion3 [15:53] Herc: if you run: gedit ~/.bashrc make sure the last 3 lines are uncommented [15:53] aslong as your mounting the drive selected to boot from bios yes. [15:53] my last issue aside from this is why when I create a mysql service account that it rejects my login but it allows it for root via a wordpress install. [15:53] Can't connect to my database as the service account. [15:53] Herc: then run: source ~/.bashrc [15:53] ok [15:53] yekoms, gonna try it, thanks [15:53] so am I installing bash completion? [15:53] TJ, thanks [15:53] welcome azm. [15:53] Herc, i was just making a statement :P [15:53] azm: When booting from a LiveISO it is possible the live device is /dev/sda ... so we need to be sure to correct the device-name given to grub-install [15:53] he left. [15:53] He'll be back [15:53] hehe [15:53] Herc: no, you are enabling it, its default installed [15:53] the guide i gave him is a good one. it should work aslong as he installs grub on the bio 1st drive. [15:53] Herc: Do you have a 'Terminal' window now with a command prompt? [15:54] how do i upgrade to 10.04 [15:54] so.. any ideas on why i don't get usb3.0 speeds in ubunntu 12.04? [15:54] WeThePeople: from... [15:54] dont you do apt-get dist-upgrade to upgrade ubuntu? [15:54] no [15:54] Gorilla_No_Baka: please paste bin the output from lsusb [15:54] WeThePeople, try googling that simple question ;) [15:55] yekoms, dist-upgrade does NOT change versions [15:55] !dist-upgrade | yekoms [15:55] yekoms: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. [15:55] Gorilla_No_Baka: Were you dfadeur earlier ? [15:55] !upgrade [15:55] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [15:55] !google | yekoms [15:55] yekoms: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [15:55] what is google-fu ? [15:55] yekoms, i do both actually [15:55] yekoms, NEVER recommend google here [15:55] kung-fu, play on words [15:55] WeThePeople: From which release of Ubuntu? [15:56] checking something hold on. [15:56] right i am not on ubuntu now.. but the lsubs and dmesg shows that the usb highspeed is recognized [15:56] tj-, 10.04 [15:56] however... the speeds i am geting are well under 50 MB [15:56] WeThePeople, you mean 12.04 then [15:56] Guys would this be OK for my .xinitrc ? #!/usr/bin/env bash exec startkde [15:56] if your on 10.04 how do you expect to upgrade to 10.04 ? [15:56] WeThePeople: You want to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.04 !? :s [15:57] do you mean 11.04, 11.10 or 12.04 ? [15:57] WeThePeople: you want to update to 10.04, what do you want to update from? [15:57] Gorilla_No_Baka: and you are sure you have a use 3.0 device connected? how are you measuring the speeds you are getting? what speeds are you expecting? [15:57] hes expecting the 150MB [15:57] Gorilla_No_Baka: Are you using Win7 now, to test it? [15:57] or whatever speeds usb3 is. [15:58] tj-, i would like to upgrade to 10.04.4 to 10.04.5 === Justasic2 is now known as Justasic === johndoe_ is now known as Jd64 [15:58] no.. windows 7 was so crappy and would drop my external devices so fast that i decided to try windows bloody 8.. for a change.. no joy either [15:58] WeThePeople: then just update normally [16:00] WeThePeople: Ahh. That is part of the normal "apt-get upgrade" and "apt-get dist-upgrade" process [16:00] the only os that can support (ish) is linux [16:00] WeThePeople: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [16:00] how do you update normally, apt-get update; apt-get upgrade; apt-get dist-upgrade' ? === Youri is now known as YWork [16:00] but even like that ... i hear other people can get full usb3.0 speeds in ubuntu [16:00] yekoms, update manager [16:00] Gorilla_No_Baka: So neither of the Windows versions support USB3 ? [16:00] i get usb3 full speeds, but i didnt do anything special. [16:00] Gorilla_No_Baka, there is no limitation. usb3 works great here [16:00] WeThePeople, if you know how, why would you ask ? [16:00] ok the bash completion is fixed now I have the mysql problem. [16:00] This is my .xinitrc , does it look ok ? g@G-PLUS:~$ cat .xinitrc #!/usr/bin/env bash exec startkde [16:00] Gorilla_No_Baka, check hdd speed with "hdparm -tT /dev/sda " ( or sdb/sdc whatever your ext drive is) [16:00] Herc, i use webmin to manage my mysql server. [16:00] yekoms, idk [16:00] TJ-: if by supporting you mean dropping every 45 seconds like crazy ....:) [16:00] WeThePeople: what is the output of: lsb_release -sd [16:00] I can put webmin in the problems is I made a service account to run wordpress for the mysql database. [16:00] !webmin | Herc [16:00] Herc: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [16:01] !webmin > yekoms [16:01] yekoms, please see my private message [16:01] Gorilla_No_Baka: From what I read about the controllers and drivers, the mix of Intel and non-Intel, and the Port Mask registers, is the issue. This discussion might help you understand it. http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-usb/msg70218.html [16:02] OerHeks: for 45 seconds untill the external harddrive is dropped (unmounted) on windows i get 150 MB/s [16:02] so i guess that 'spretty much it [16:02] TJ-: [16:02] TJ-: cheers mate [16:02] <|Anthony|> when editing entires at help.ubuntu.com, is there a way to get a scrollbar for code blocks? or something that would serve the same purpose? [16:02] Herc, try using phpmyadmin, it does mysql aswell...i dont manage mysql via console so i cant help you any further. [16:02] i am gonna have a look at it [16:02] Gorilla_No_Baka: the USB kernel developers are actively working on it, from what I see [16:02] http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-usb/msg70218.html [16:03] so. why would mysql accept the root login but it rejects my service account on the wordpress install? [16:03] TJ-: let's hope they will make ut [16:03] I added the user via phpmyadmin [16:03] what hostname is the service account? [16:03] <|Anthony|> also, some words in the entry i made @help.ubunut.com get autolinks to pages that don't exist yet. can i remove these as there seem to be an over-abundance of them? [16:03] and did you add the hostname it'll be connecting from to said service account? [16:04] yes localhost. [16:04] Herc: you do understand that UNIX system accounts and MySQL user accounts are completely unrelated, yes? [16:04] try ANY [16:04] then check mysql log. [16:04] Yes I know. [16:04] but there's a root account in mysql. [16:04] * Gorilla_No_Baka ciggie break [16:04] I did not want to use root I wanted to use the service account I made for security reasons. [16:04] did you give correct access to said service account? [16:04] Herc: you have to GRANT rights to the USER on the database [16:04] yes I did. [16:04] I did grant the rights. [16:04] i think its a host issue. [16:05] pastebin the error as it shown please. [16:05] I pointed it to the database it needs to perform the rights on. [16:05] Well I am running the wordpress script. [16:05] Herc: and you set a MySQL password for that user, and are using the correct IDENTIFIED BY? [16:05] so is that, i cant do that right now? [16:05] and right where it asks for the mysql username and pass I put in my web_wordpress account and pass and it fails. [16:05] When I put in the root account it works. [16:05] what does it say when it fails? [16:05] thats important :) [16:05] error connection to mysql database [16:06] thats it? [16:06] yes. [16:06] when I go back and put in root I can continue to install wordpress. [16:06] no permissions to the selected database. [16:06] I put permissions to my wordpress database. [16:06] I even gave it full permissions like root and it still didn't work. [16:07] Herc: check your mysql log for clues [16:07] mirzaei, wrong channel. #ubuntu is for support:) [16:07] Herc: you set permissions inside MYSQL using some of the commands i sent in caps, or you gave permissions in the filesystem? [16:07] i have aspire 5750 with nvidia vga and now i install nvidia-current_295.40-0ubuntu1_i386.deb but no cinnoment not log in and in gnome2d flash light not work [16:07] Herc: do you have autocomplete now? [16:07] I set them through phpmyadmin [16:07] yes I do action. [16:07] Herc: sweet [16:07] I installed the lib tools that it told me in terminal and it worked. [16:07] Herc: take phpmyadmin out of the mix. [16:08] ok [16:08] Herc: use the MySQL command line to create a sb and issue GRANTS [16:08] *db [16:08] I did this before in ubuntu 10 and 11 without a problem [16:08] Herc: it's not Ubuntu [16:09] is it possible to install an old kernel [16:09] it sure is. [16:09] from command line [16:10] and even select it as default in the /etc/defaults/grub [16:10] Sidney__: unless you uninstalled them, previous kernels arwe available at the grub menu [16:10] Sidney__, yes, from command line. [16:10] he could have done a grub menu cleaning at some point like i do when i upgraded my kernels. [16:10] but i move the old kernels to /boot/oldkernels, then update-grub [16:10] I need some help with installing ubuntu on my computer. [16:10] yekoms: well, that's not how Debian handles kernel management. [16:11] Sidney__: if you can find the packages, yes [16:11] NME_, what kind of help? [16:11] yekoms: you remove kernel packages, which updates the bootloader. you don't edit grub configs. [16:11] I think maybe if i install another kernel my system will boot into the desktop [16:11] Sidney__: try booting to an older kernel at the brug boot menu [16:11] mneptok, uhm, if you have a large list of kernels, and you want a auto selection done for you, you edit /etc/defaults/grub, then update-grub for grub2. [16:12] yekoms: if you can run: uname -a; dpkg -l | grep linux-image and pastebin the output, we can help remove the old kernels [16:12] i dont want to remove them. [16:12] It doesn't work when i run the installer it just boots windows as usual and shows no sign of it doing anything else. [16:12] NME_, when your booting, hit F12, and select CDROM [16:12] i have aspire 5750 with nvidia vga and now i install nvidia-current_295.40-0ubuntu1_i386.deb but no cinnoment not log in and in gnome2d flash light not work [16:12] yekoms: you can set the default in /etc/default/grub but if you add a new kernel, the number isn't honoured [16:12] yekoms: you said "grub menu cleaning" and not "grub menu custom edits." "cleaning" implies you're removing stuff. which you should not do, [16:12] i have aspire 5750 with nvidia vga and now i install nvidia-current_295.40-0ubuntu1_i386.deb but no cinnoment not log in and in gnome2d flash light not work [16:13] i have aspire 5750 with nvidia vga and now i install nvidia-current_295.40-0ubuntu1_i386.deb but no cinnoment not log in and in gnome2d flash light not work [16:13] mneptok, that is the problem i usually uninstall the old as soon as i get the new one. I know better now [16:13] i have aspire 5750 with nvidia vga and now i install nvidia-current_295.40-0ubuntu1_i386.deb but no cinnoment not log in and in gnome2d flash light not work [16:13] i have aspire 5750 with nvidia vga and now i install nvidia-current_295.40-0ubuntu1_i386.deb but no cinnoment not log in and in gnome2d flash light not work [16:13] i have aspire 5750 with nvidia vga and now i install nvidia-current_295.40-0ubuntu1_i386.deb but no cinnoment not log in and in gnome2d flash light not work [16:13] Ok ill try it. Thanks. [16:13] mneptok, there is a few ubuntuforums.org posts where people suggest this, so you can keep the headers for building if needed. [16:13] got it. [16:14] it had a % signs for the host box [16:14] Herc, what was wrong? [16:14] told you it was a host issue ;) [16:14] yekoms: what random forum posters say doesn't really dictate how i maintain a Debian system :) [16:14] I switched it to say localhost and recreated the user and now it went through. [16:14] mneptok, hence the phrase: To each their own :D [16:14] to think 1 % sign can offset the whole thing. [16:15] linux has to be perfect :P [16:15] yekoms: yes, but on the official support channel you are asked to follow best practices. and hand-editing GRUB stuff is not a best practice. [16:15] Herc: In mysql "%" is like the linux shell "*" glob character - it matches everything [16:15] well it had that for my service account but it was getting rejected. [16:15] when I switched it as he said to localhost it went right in this time. [16:15] i never told him to edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg, but to edit /etc/defaults/grub and update-grub, which is best practices. [16:16] yekoms: default, not defaults [16:16] anyways, ive been trying to figure out how to give a user sudo acces to just a single file, instead of * [16:17] actionParsnip, i have a bad habit of adding 's' to directory..causes me tons of problems when i do my systems :( [16:17] !ot [16:17] #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! [16:17] yekoms: use tAB to complete stuff and you'll have fewer issues [16:18] actionParsnip, tab dont complete when your writing bash scripts :( [16:18] yekoms: you can set the setuid bit and it will run as root regardless of the user running it [16:18] how? [16:18] all i want is user 'vps' to run /usr/sbin/vzctl [16:18] and no one else..except root ofc. [16:19] yekoms: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=linux+setuid [16:19] Hi. What is the appropriate IRC channel for development questions? [16:19] IDWMaster: #ubuntu-devel [16:19] yeah this wont work for me, as im writing in TCL. [16:20] yekoms: I have this on one of my servers: "eddie jeeves= /sbin/shutdown, /sbin/ifup, /sbin/ifconfig, /sbin/ip, /usr/sbin/service" [16:20] what would be the command to do a release upgrade 10.04 to 10.10, "sudo do-release-upgrade 10.10" [16:20] ? [16:20] is that without passwd? [16:20] WeThePeople: 10.10 is no longer supported [16:20] WeThePeople: Upgrade to 12.04 directly [16:20] yekoms: I believe so, try it. You can always undo it [16:20] the .tcl is a auto vps creater. [16:20] theadmin, will my files and apps be ok if i do this [16:21] WeThePeople, in theory yes. [16:21] WeThePeople: make backups just incase [16:21] Hello, someone told me I could ask this here. I'm using Ubuntu and I have a 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03), and I listen sound from the headphone and from the speakers. How could I fix it, in order to listen sound only from the headphones when they are pluged? [16:21] WeThePeople: you can upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04 directly (LTS to LTS) [16:21] ok thanks [16:21] it should install everything.. BUT things do happen. [16:21] WeThePeople: it is always prudent to make backups [16:21] WeThePeople: Sure -- though as far as I remember updates fail if you have any 3rd party repos or apps [16:22] If I do the upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04 you think it will solve my driver problems [16:22] TJ-, what is jeeves? the group? [16:22] Sidney__: more than likely, newer apps, newer kernel etc [16:22] Sidney__, no one can give you a completly correct answer like that. [16:22] yekoms: The server hostname [16:22] hi, how can i change the permissions of the folder so that the files its includes have the same permission as the folder? [16:22] sup bitches [16:22] ohhh, so in my case it'd be: vps blackness-web=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/vzctl === CanShower is now known as Cantide [16:23] tuxatcom, chmod -R [16:23] yekoms, thank you very much :D [16:23] welcome. [16:23] man chmod for further help. [16:23] yekoms: False! That changes the subfolders as well, he asked only about files. [16:23] tuxatcom: use: sudo chmod -R user /path/to/folder [16:23] then use the find . -f command ;) [16:24] tuxatcom: find your_folder -type f -exec chmod 000 '{}' \; # replace 000 with the appropriate perms [16:24] find . -f -exec {} chmod ??? - [16:24] what theadmin said. [16:24] actionParsnip: What's "user" doing there? [16:24] actionParsnip: shouldn't "chmod -R user ..." be "chown -R user ..." ? [16:24] actionParsnip: chmod is not chown [16:24] yes, chown ... [16:24] theadmin: the user to chmod to [16:24] sorry tuxatcom..do this [16:24] d'oh [16:24] !language > mmfreak [16:24] mmfreak, please see my private message [16:25] mmfreak, think that's cool "talk" ? [16:25] theadmin: you're riht, mixed up [16:25] cry [16:25] i dont think so [16:25] it IS [16:25] find your_folder -type f -exec chmod 755 '{}' \; gives user: exec, grp: rw, others: rw [16:27] actionparsnip, does upgrade have a --help page [16:27] !upgrade [16:27] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [16:27] freenode is having some serious TS linking issues.. [16:28] yekoms: what is 'TS'? [16:28] time syncing. [16:28] when i go full screen in flash (i have 2 screens) the video sort of goes full screen across both of them but only 1 screen shows it so it's essentially half the video [16:28] any ideas? [16:28] i install lamp-server for local machine. but i can't access localhost/phpmyadmin (it says not found) ... why? [16:28] yekoms: I'd make the issues known in #freenod then [16:28] #freenode [16:28] they cant fix that manually, the irc leafs have to resync.. it'll fix it self i hope ;P [16:29] priyesh: does it affect all browsers? [16:29] ntpd will catch up heh. [16:29] actionParsnip: just chrome [16:29] Is there any package in Ubuntu for the Gentoo's Path Sandbox? I think Debian had one... (not too sure) [16:30] sandbox? you mean to catch hax0rs? [16:31] how you empty a full dir [16:31] instead of doing it all by hand? [16:31] whoa, this setuid is dangerious. [16:31] folorn: rm -r directory [16:31] anyone ive tried rmdir -r [16:32] all i did was write a small setuid script, and it works, i hope people cant do setuid on sudo or su like this [16:32] hello! Is there any working netcafe software solution. I've tried CafePilot & Mkahawa, but the first is not good, and the second can't really work... [16:32] ? [16:33] hey i got a self signed cert on my server. i wanne use this cert systemwide on my laptop how can i do this ? [16:33] how can i shutdown and start a lamp-server? i want to install phpmyadmin :) [16:34] tuxatcom: sudo service whatever stop [16:35] doesnt lamp have a main service it uses to shut down all 4 at once? [16:35] if not, he can write one :) === erkan^ is now known as onzichtbaar [16:36] yekoms: see if lamp is an option as a servce, otherwise kill all 4 [16:36] actionParsnip, thanks, but how can i find out a servername or number of the lamp-server ?? :[ [16:36] actionParsnip, servicename* [16:36] tuxatcom: you can tab complete service names, so type l and then hit TAB [16:36] i dont use lamp LOL. i use lighttpd, mysql, php..so mine is a LMP setup. and i wrote a single servicename for them. [16:37] on pidgin when you detach a tab, is there a way to reattach it? [16:37] tuxatcom, you can look in /etc/rc?.d for the scripts. :) [16:37] lobhater, drag and drop the window into the main window, thats how xchat does it [16:37] !package blackbox [16:38] yekoms: then stop those services and you are gold [16:38] actionParsnip, thanks, i will try. [16:38] yekoms, thanks [16:38] actionParsnip, tuxatcom was asking about LAMP. :) [16:38] yekoms: you could even make a new service called lamp which stops all 4 :) [16:38] welcome tuxatcom. thats what good service is about, Free and prompt. [16:38] ohhhh [16:38] yekoms: i have tried, doesnt work. I think ti must not support it. I have searched to no avail [16:38] actionParsnip, i have service hosting stop :) [16:38] yekoms: nice!

[16:46] Everything was good until I added the second monitor...and only after I took it away did this issue crop up [16:46] hey [16:46] Im thinking there is some reference to the second monitor in some config file and when it cant find it I get the error message....although when I close message all is well. Just annoying mainly.... [16:46] hey what is a good scree capture program i can use? [16:46] How can I edit my xorg.conf such that an external monitor will be the *only* output for my laptop?

[16:54] any ideas? [16:54] yekoms: you may be using an ssh key... [16:55] i didnt set one up. [16:55] yekoms: how/why did you enable the root account? [16:56] i got bluetooth not working after installing precise [16:56] it was enabled by default when setting up the VPS. [16:56] but i cant issue su, but i can do sudo su fine. [16:56] yekoms: instead of su, use: sudo -i [16:56] or ssh in as root. [16:56] yekoms: ask your provider then [16:56] actionParsnip, su should still work like sudo -i [16:56] yekoms: sudo -i uses your user's configs, rather than that of root [16:56] jrib, i am my provider ;) [16:57] yekoms: similar but not the same [16:57] ahh gotcha actionParsnip [16:57] yekoms: so then I repeat my question... "how/why did you enable root?" [16:57] yekoms: when you se to root, the configs of root will be reread [16:57] Guys need your help with dovecot as it is critic for me. I'm looking for a config file that could have been changed for the ubuntu distro or its location moved [16:57] ohh actionParsnip. [16:57] yekoms: using: sudo -i will mean you can use the configs in your user's profile [16:57] the auth-sql.conf file [16:58] yekoms: if you just forget about root, and use sudo, you'll have an easier time [16:58] jrib, again, root was enabled automaticly VIA the OS Template provided with OpenVZ. [16:58] yekoms: then ask the provider of the template [16:58] actionParsnip, i didnt have my user in sudoers at the time i tried :) [16:58] yekoms: I see, then add it to the sudo group and redisable root [16:59] I need some advice/help on installing ubuntu. === or4n_ is now known as or4n [16:59] now i know why service lighttpd stop doesnt work, there's not PID file of lighttpd [16:59] :D [16:59] NME_: then you need to be specific [16:59] # === Guest98765 is now known as azm1 [17:00] yekoms, I tried chroot but I got error afer grub-update [17:00] !patience | DarkStar1 [17:00] DarkStar1: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [17:01] When i run the installer and it reboots it just starts windows normally and it doesn't show any sign of it doing otherwise. (and i have changed it so it boots the disc drive first) [17:01] what error azm1 ? [17:01] Im searching [17:01] did you issue grub-update, or update-grub? [17:01] sec. [17:01] * DarkStar1 adopts the zen position [17:02] i forget it :( [17:02] what is the command format that searches the repo for a file?

[17:03] WeThePeople: use nano [17:03] DarkStar1: apt-file search [17:03] jrib, thanks [17:03] <`Nano_> no don't use me D: [17:03] update-grub shouldnt give any errors unless you're working off the wrong drive. [17:03] but man [17:03] jrib: thx [17:03] I gave just one drive [17:04] * jrib downgrades `Nano_ to emacs [17:04] one sda [17:04] how many drives are installed currently? [17:04] I disconnected the second [17:04] if there is JUST one, then SATA1, or IDA0 will be SDA. [17:04] in bios there is no way to choose anything different [17:04] sata,yes [17:04] its sda [17:04] which hopefully is what bios has as MASTER0. [17:05] guheru9o [17:05] e48q2p [17:05] then you should do mount --bind /dev/sda1 /mnt; mount --bind procfs /mnt/procfs; chroot /mnt; update-grub [17:05] where can i get WUBI.exe for 12.10?

[17:05] ohhh .10, i thought he said .04, i'm sorry. disregard my statement. [17:06] ovrflw0x: its only meant to be used as a demo (or taster) [17:06] jrib, will midnight commander work just as well?? [17:06] i found a workaround for the broken lighttpd upstart script ;) [17:06] and its always sda1 [17:06] ovrflw0x: if you really want to use ubuntu then install it to its own partition [17:06] WeThePeople: you can probably open an editor from inside mc, but mc is just a file browser [17:06] because its at the beginning ? [17:07] yekoms: broken in what way? [17:07] ThinkT510, will it have dual graphics support? a+i mux support? [17:07] jrib, yeah mcedit [17:07] service lighttpd stop doesnt work. [17:07] lighttpd fails to create a PID file.. [17:08] yekoms: seems to work ok here on 12.04 [17:08] so i added, PID=`ps aux|grep lighttpd|grep username|awk '{ print $2 }'`; kill -9 $PID [17:08] im using 11.10 [17:08] ovrflw0x, what do you mean by dual graphics support ? there are about 5 different 'dual graphics' things that could apply to [17:08] i run lighttpd as a normal user. [17:08] ovrflw0x: if wubi doesn't have it nor will ubuntu [17:08] i never run anything as root, but sshd. [17:09] zodiak, ThinkT510 linux in general is very slow for newer hardware [17:09] ovrflw0x, come to think of it, what do you mean by a+i mux [17:09] linux is slow on newer hardware? [17:09] i need download films............. [17:09] ovrflw0x, urm.. well.. I have dual 7850's running on the desktop [17:09] yekoms: by default, lighttpd will run as www-data [17:09] ovrflw0x, and intel/nvidia hotswap on laptop [17:10] !piracy > cdavid578 [17:10] cdavid578, please see my private message [17:10] if set within the config it will. [17:10] very slow for making graphics drivers for newer hardware [17:10] so.. not sure what you mean by 'dual graphics' [17:10] yekoms: grepping ps aux like that doesn't seem ideal [17:10] ok ty [17:10] guys, what have happened to all them beautiful panel applets? is gnome-panel totally gone since unity launcher and compiz merged? [17:10] pgrep lighttpd is simpler. [17:10] ovrflw0x: thank the graphics card makers [17:12] TuxProbe, u can chioo [17:12] yekoms: I still wouldn't recommend that [17:12] can i ask, why not? [17:12] if lighttpd wont create the pid file, i need a solution. [17:12] yekoms: well, what if you have a process like lighttpdxyz. Why won't lighttpd create a pid file? [17:13] i have no idea, nothing in error.log [17:13] tozen chioo?? [17:13] yekoms: did you change any of the default setup? You said before you had it running as non-root, but that's default behavior already (as www-data) [17:13] TuxProbe,sorry type erro [17:13] i tried the default user, and other users. [17:14] yekoms: tried what as the default user, and other users? [17:14] i run everything under 'black' as it has no access outside of /www [17:14] TuxProbe, u can choose enviroment in login [17:14] i used www-data, then selected black. lighttpd runs fine for both, but no pid file. [17:14] it just creates a dir in /var/run as lighttpd [17:15] yekoms: how did you "select black"? I'm not sure what you mean [17:15] yekoms: more importantly, did it create a pid file originally? When it was running as www-data right after install? [17:15] What file is the auto mapping of samba shares stored in? [17:15] its never created one. [17:15] I set them up via Webmin but it's caused problems [17:15] tozen ah yea got it.. [17:16] as soon as i installed it, i issued 'service lighttpd stop' and it said it closed it, but port :80 was still being used by lighttpd [17:16] !webmin | skroot [17:16] skroot: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu.

[17:19] the first partition should be sdb1 [17:19] yea [17:19] and no sdb mention on etc/fstab file [17:19] sdb is the drive, sdb1 is the useable space. [17:19] you wont have one till you create it.. :) [17:19] I mean it is mounted as a new drive at the same level File System is [17:19] yekoms: in any case, I'd suggest taking a look at the script in 12.04 and comparing it to the one you have. It's a much better idea to have the pid stored when the process is started so you make sure you are stopping the correct process [17:20] im using 8.04 :x [17:20] what file are auto mounts stored in? [17:20] /etc/fstab [17:20] thank you [17:20] you're welcome, i reccomend usind a UUID. [17:21] yekoms, can you explain?

[17:23] so it has to be a folder without a mount point. [17:23] yep that is [17:23] couldnt he combine them in LVM? [17:23] a extended /home partition but in different hard drives [17:23] you mean like a software raid? [17:23] but I think that is not allowed [17:24] no I just want to use the space [17:24] or he could use greyhole [17:24] if you just want the space, just mount it as /storage or something [17:24] in my server i have one drive as /public, one as /private and the 3rd is / [17:24] yeah..

This is my first time trying to reinstall with /home on another partition, and I whoopsed the username on my account... >_< [19:18] So, I updated my kernel to 3.2.0-31, and my usb wifi drivers stopped working (I rebuilt them manually using make, details here http://bernaerts.dyndns.org/linux/229-ubuntu-precise-dlink-dwa160-revb2). Anyway, I switched to the previous kernel for now, but I'm wondering if these drivers are incompatible with the new kernel. dmesg just gave a whole bunch of errors saying "disagrees about version of symbol === fromhet_ is now known as fromhet [19:18] ", which I unfortunately forgot to copy. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [19:19] It worked for the last kernel update, so, yeah [19:19] thanks muchly actionParsnip!

[19:21] actionParsnip: not sure what that would have to do with this [19:21] I'm fairly new to the ubuntu world, been using Arch for the past 3 years [19:22] Nisstyre: there is a package named rt2870sta-dkms which would self build each kernel, the chip seems to use the rt2870 driver, right? [19:22] actionParsnip: the chipset is rt5572, and the drive is named rt5572sta [19:23] the drivers are open source from ralink [19:23] it's a very new piece of hardware, so it's not yet in the kernel [19:23] this is a newer revision of that I think [19:23] Nisstyre: Are they free though? [19:23] Basstard`: they're open source [19:23] I had to patch them to get them to even work [19:24] Nisstyre: did you do the drivers-dkms bit on the guide you listed? [19:24] Basstard`: they are using a GPL license [19:24] actionParsnip: no, and I should've [19:24] but I should still be able to rebuild them manually, no? [19:25] Nisstyre: I guess so, you may have to make clean first [19:25] Nisstyre: Is there any kind of blob though? [19:25] yeah, I did make clean [19:25] Basstard`: no [19:25] Hi Everyone: can anyone tell me how to use the terminal to connect to a 3G dongle to the internet? An upgrade failed mid-way and I am without a GUI. [19:25] maybe it was just a fluke, I'll try again later [19:25] !aptfix | djq [19:25] djq: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [19:26] I did do a make clean, which should remove everything from the last build [19:26] Nisstyre: If you have the DKMS package installed, you can rebuild it using "sudo dkms build -m -v -k " followed by - if that was successful - "sudo dkms install -m -v -k " [19:27] Nisstyre: you'd need to check the make file to see what happens [19:27] TJ-: I'll give that a shot, thanks [19:27] actionParsnip: fair enough [19:28] cannot send to channel? [19:28] what the [19:28] lol [19:28] Nisstyre: That DKMS method relies upon the DKMS package having installed the sources to /usr/src/-/ [19:28] hi [19:28] ubottu: If i do this, I get the error: "dkpg: error: unable to access dpkg status area: Read-only file system" [19:28] djq: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:28] TJ-: okay [19:28] i need a fdisk help [19:29] Hello, I have a hard drive in my fstab that will not always be present at boot, When it is not present the startup halts and waits for the press of the 'S' key to skip the mounting process of the drive. Is there a way to get it to default bypass? [19:30] if i'm tring to create new partition with fdisk, do fdisk assign partition name auto? [19:30] Nisstyre: If it hasn't you'll need to copy the module source tree to that location (including creating the directory) and then use "sudo dkms add -m -v " [19:31] Hello, I have a hard drive in my fstab that will not always be present at boot, When it [19:31] is not present the startup halts and waits for the press of the 'S' key to skip the [19:31] djq: try: sudo mount -o rw,remount / [19:31] mounting process of the drive. Is there a way to get it to default bypass? [19:31] djq: then rerun the command ubottu gave [19:32] fizz_, keyword: noauto (in fstab) [19:33] rumpe1: noauto is going to allow auto bypass at boot ? [19:33] fizz_, "auto" is default, which means it gets mounted automatically during boot [19:33] fizz_, noauto will deactivate that [19:34] so i will have to mount it manually after a restart? [19:36] after making changes to /etc/fstab, how do i push them out? [19:36] restart samba? [19:38] skroot: mount -a [19:38] skroot: samba has nothing to do with fstab [19:39] i wasnt sure, thats why i asked [19:39] but thank you! [19:39] fizz_: you can mount samba shares in fstab [19:40] one of my drives has a space in it, mount is saying those lines are bad [19:40] i tried escaping them with \ [19:40] skroot: why not use the UUID? [19:40] not sure how that works, honestly [19:40] skroot: its also a partition you are mounting, not drive [19:41] sorry [19:41] skroot: run: sudo blkid and you will see the UIID [19:41] technically its a second drive, but i get you === witquicked_ is now known as witquicked [19:41] skroot: look at the otherlines, you'll see how it is used [19:41] ok, i see it [19:41] skroot: the UUID is a solid way to reference partitions [19:41] Hello, I have a hard drive in my fstab that will not always be present at boot, When it is not present the startup halts and waits for the press of the 'S' key to skip the mounting process of the drive. Is there a way to get it to default bypass? I don't want to use noauto because then if the drive is there it requires me to mount manually. I just need it not to get hung up if there drive is not there? [19:41] I'm having odd issues with 12.04 wifi on a Lenovo T61. Wifi won't drop one AP and connect to another, when requested. reboot fixes, but I'd rather not reboot. [19:41] hello all [19:41] actionParsnip: thanks for advice [19:42] djq: all ok now? [19:42] im have a win7 64bit i7 3.4 ghz 16gb ram and i cant get ubuntu 12.04 to boot not in dual boot or from usb or cd [19:43] it freezes when the ubuntu logo with the loading dots shows [19:43] rizla: what video chip? [19:43] all the time! [19:43] rizla: the windows version you are using is of no value [19:43] Anybody know of a good 12.04 wifi on T61 reference? Also, this laptop was an upgrade from older versions. Is a remove / replace for some wifi tools in order? [19:43] ok [19:43] actionParsnip, i changed the one partition to a UUID, but the actual lines with errors are bind mounts [19:44] they dont have uuid's in blkid [19:44] rizla: what video chip? [19:44] video? [19:44] fizz_: In 12.04, mountall supports both 'nobootwait' and 'timeout' options to control whether mountall should wait for a given filesystem before signalling for the boot to proceed. [19:44] rizla: yes the thing putting the display on the monitor? [19:45] ahh lol [19:45] nvidia geforce gtx 580 [19:46] TJ-: so do i use nobootwait in the fstab as a param? I'm a little confused. [19:46] fizz_: Sorry, no, those are kernel command-line options you can add [19:47] TJ-: where do i add those? [19:47] rizla: add the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1 [19:47] fizz_: Sorry, I'm wrong! Ignore me :p Yes... they're fstab options! Add them alongside the other options in fstab, comma-separated [19:47] need more info pls i dont rly understand [19:48] im booting from a usb [19:48] fizz_: Here's an example http://askubuntu.com/questions/120/how-do-i-avoid-the-s-to-skip-message-on-boot [19:48] !bootoption | rizla [19:48] rizla: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions See also !nomodeset. [19:49] is there a way to do a system repair from a live session? [19:50] /dev/sdd1 /media/3tbext ext4 nobootwait [19:50] hey guys looking for shadeslay [19:50] Sidney__: That depends on what you're trying to repair. [19:50] Sidney__: sure, you can chroot and do all sorts of stuff [19:51] I cant boot into the desktop [19:52] thanks for the help [19:52] nouveau "nv" "vesa" "fbdev" modules are all missing === ivan_ is now known as Guest63803 [19:53] Sidney__: sounds like the kernel's linux-image packages installation has been hosed by something [19:53] TJ-, probally an old video card i installed [19:54] Sidney__: if you can boot to root recovery mode you can do stuff there too [19:55] actionParsnip, I can boot into the normal session just with no gui [19:55] Sidney__: tried unity2d session? === Charlie is now known as Guest49120 [19:57] actionParsnip, I'm on 10.04 thats why i installed the video card to get 12.04 installed onto another drive but failed [19:57] Sidney__: That sounds more-like maybe the X driver packages weren't installed - if you've added new hardware since the OS was installed. Might just need to install the additional packages [19:57] Sidney__: what video chip do you use? [19:57] Hello, is there a way to have the latest unity from ubuntu 12.10 in precise? Thanks [19:58] kroson: there is a staging PPA for Unity [19:58] Newby here. Question about dual boots [19:58] kroson: https://launchpad.net/~benkai/+archive/precise-unity-backport [19:58] Sidney__:did you try 'nomodeset' in the boot options? === SunkSullen is now known as wifioregon [19:59] mattias f6 dosent give me that option [19:59] actionParsnip, Geforce 7025/nForce 630a [20:00] Sidney__: did you upgrade from Lucid to Precise? [20:00] TJ-, can that be done from the live session [20:00] actionParsnip, no [20:00] Sidney__: so you clean installed Precise and it wouldn't boot? [20:01] Nice... just tried installing 12.10 into a VM and it didn't even boot after install. [20:01] actionParsnip, i do get that option when i boot into the text mode === nv is now known as Seta2501 [20:01] Sidney__: If that's the problem... once a liveISO is running -as actionParsnip said earlier - you can set-up a 'chroot' on the broken OS file-system mount [20:01] And I never got 12.04 installed [20:02] Sidney__: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current will install the proprietary video driver [20:02] sidney: that's weird, did you use the dd command to make your startup disk? that's the best.. [20:02] jsh_: Quantal is offtopic here [20:03] Sidney__: You can boot the liveISO with the "nomodeset" option by pressing the 'F6' advanced menu option. When the menu shows up, press Esc to remove the menu. You're left with the kernel command-line that you can edit just above the bottom of the screen. [20:03] mattias_, no I used pendrive and a usb stick [20:04] Sidney, you can use the dd command to copy the iso file to your usb stick, it's best method to make a usb startupdisk! [20:04] I'll save this text and try a few of these [20:04] mattias_: why not use unetbootin, bit more user friendly [20:05] mattias_: There is no "best" method when it comes to software. [20:05] Sidney, because unetbootin never worked for me, the dd comand did.. [20:06] actionParsnip, i also used unetbootin [20:09] Sidney: I found this on the serverfault.com: dd is most certainly the best cloning tool, it will create a 100% replica simply by using the following command. I've never once had any problems with it. [20:10] mattias_, I will try that as well [20:10] unetbootin creates a syslinux boot menu, if you use dd it will boot like a burned copy would. [20:11] Sidney: the command looks like this: dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb And you have to replace the paths with your own.. [20:11] Using dd for cloning a harddisk without using a sane bs= size is pointless in terms of performance. === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [20:13] Anyone want to look at this crash report? Muon Software Center crashes right after I open it, or as it open. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2064628 [20:13] Bekks: yes, you're right, so you have to add bs=32M at the end [20:14] i like ddrescue, gives you nice verbose info [20:14] mattias_: 32M is not sane in all cases. The value should not exceed the smallest cache of your harddisks.

[20:17] Led_Zeppelin: in what sense? [20:17] actionParsnip, i am coming from debian and I used to use alsamxer. with ubuntu its qite different. lots of GUIs :p [20:17] trying to setup my sound [20:17] Led_Zeppelin: there is alsamixer in Ubuntu too.... [20:17] Hi. I'm in need of a webcam driver, ov51x-jpeg to be specific, which only seems to exist on a certain page, rastageeks.org, but the page is not active anymore. In the ubuntu repo, there is a package called ov51x-jpeg-source, but this package does not seem to have a working make-file. Does anyone know how these source-packages are supposed to work? [20:18] Sharyari: maybe there is a PPA [20:18] actionParsnip, should I be using PulseAudio? [20:18] actionParsnip: ppa? [20:18] bekks: ok, but when he uses the dd tool, than he will have the boot options, so that's the most important ;-) [20:19] mattias_: Using the other boot media creation options works too :) [20:19] so, what tool should I use to configure audio? like where is the volume control, actionParsnip [20:19] !ppa | Sharyari [20:19] Sharyari: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

[20:20] nvidia-current is already the newest version [20:20] Led_Zeppelin: what desktop are you using? [20:20] ubottu: does not seem like it is :P [20:20] can anyone progamme the bot [20:20] Sidney__: It is the latest version in the Ubuntu repos. [20:21] actionParsnip, HP Pavilion [20:21] satdav: you can suggest factoids, essentially yes [20:21] what is sudo -i [20:21] Led_Zeppelin: no, gnome? Kde? XFCE? [20:21] Gnome, actionParsnip [20:21] bekks: no, I didn't had the f6 boot option when I used unetbootin.. sometimes it doesn't work with unetbootin.. [20:21] Sidney__: its a good way to become root. [20:22] mattias_: It did for me, everytime I used it in the past few years. [20:22] actionParsnip, I want to add ispconfig to it [20:22] Led_Zeppelin: run: /usr/lib/indicator-sound/indicator-sound-service [20:22] Hello, does anyone know if there is an workaround to use Unity webapps with Firefox 15 ? [20:22] satdav: then say: /msg ubottu !ispconfig is blahblahblahtext [20:22] satdav: just change the blahs [20:23] cool [20:23] is it a supybot then [20:23] actionParsnip, no luck.

I really like the current distro. Dont want to change too much. Plus my PC is old so... [20:26] mattias_: However, lets move on :) [20:26] Led_Zeppelin: could use a lighter DE, like LXDE or XFCE [20:26] i am adding a 2TB disk to my machine, is there any know problem if i create a partition of the whole disk size? afaik 2TB and beyond is roublesome for linux or some linux tools [20:26] Led_Zeppelin: try: killall indicator-sound [20:26] actionParsnip, true.

[20:30] bekks, actionParsnip, i mean, create the partition, copy data on it, then error occurs! and the 2TB disk is for making the backups... of course i don't want to lose the backups when the system one day says something like, i cannot read the whole disk or i canot mount the partition [20:30] Led_Zeppelin: try: sudo updatedb; locate indicator-sound [20:30] its called, "/usr/lib/indicator-sound/indicator-sound-service" [20:31] cablop: then rerun the backup, the originals still stand so you copy them and copy them [20:31] bekks: but not for everyone, I know its strange.

[20:34] If there's anyone interested in participating in a project helping making a few themes/skins send me a pm :-) [20:36] hmmm, it is an interface, but dunno if parted or not [20:36] Can anyone please help me? http://pastebay.net/1142498 happens when i do the command 'apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5' [20:36] i mean parted or other tool, afaik parted support the thing [20:36] tryy3: wget https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/fixpackage ; chmod +x ./fixpackage; sudo ./fixpackage [20:36] tryy3: Natty is EOLin less than a month, have you considered upgrading [20:37] Iam new to linux :D [20:38] actionParsnip: wasn't there a superfluous blank before 'natty-updates' in that pastebin?

If so, how do you turn it off nowadays (I remember metacity --replace from the olden days) [20:55] (but apparently it causes issues now :P) [20:56] Muzer: Unity, if that's what you "friend" is using - is a compiz plugin, so yes, it requires compositing. [20:56] also seems im being redundant, sudo apt-get install wine.... seems to have install winetricks and im assuming wine-tools as well [20:56] hi there, im new to ubuntu and i have a proble get on dvds on my external dvd drive. Anyone can tell me how i mount my drive? [20:56] Muzer, at the login screen [20:56] zykotick9: presumably, yeah, they're just using a default installation. Ah, right.

For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [20:57] If i use apt-get on something i already installed, it will just ignore that right? [20:57] and not double install or something? [20:57] Muzer, theres an icon next to username click it and select unity 2d, im guessing thatll fix the issues [20:57] tryy3: it will install the latest(*) version of it [20:57] Muzer: if you want unity2d, log out and select it from the login screen [20:57] that kind of sucks, I'll let them know (it's for running a game, so not sure if it's something they'd want to keep logging out and in for :/) [20:57] OK [20:57] jrib ah [20:58] sigh... now... i want a recommendation about ext3 or ext4 on a 2TB partition, checking cylinders and sizes it seems i'll be fine with this disk, it is a little bit below the limit [20:59] cablop: isn't ext4 better for everything? [20:59] now... this partition is for fileserver and backup storage, so what partition system between ext3 and ext4 would give me better behavior/performance on that scenario? [20:59] hey everyone. [20:59] mattias_: other then faster filesystem checks, is ext4 better at anything? [20:59] no i dont want play movie dvd i would install doom3 from the dvd but i cant because i dont know how^^ [20:59] mattias_: afaik, yes... just two things make me think about ext3... more tools do exist for it that for ext4 [21:00] cablop: ext4 is quite mature now, i'd go for that [21:00] Help please I think my GNOME is broken.

[21:00] TaJMoX: install ubuntu-tweak and you can switch tings around as you need === Dreadtower is now known as Breadflour [21:01] chronofusion1980: can't see why not, if there is copy protection it may cause a bad rip [21:01] actionParsnip E: Unable to locate package ubuntu-tweak [21:01] actionParsnip: mmm thanks, could you give me an opinion on this setup? /boot ext3, / ext4, /data (that 2TB partition) ext4 [21:01] chronofusion1980: ;) i currently have 3 HandBrakeCLI instances currently running, not sure about HandbrakeGTK - good luck. [21:02] ah i forgot, actionParsnip that setup using ub 12.04 [21:02] cablop: why a separate /boot partition? [21:02] na.. I've ripped the entire Season 1 of DBZ ( original dvd's that is that i purchased) straight to my 1 tb wd black caviar drive without any issues or errors and it turned out great at less than 900 megs per disc [21:03] chronofusion1980 You'd have to use CLI version I think, otherwise launch another user session [21:03] hmmm. handbrakeCLI? i don't know about that version I " think" i installed handbrake-gtk in terminal to get handbrake running on my distro [21:03] actionParsnip: hmmmm... dunno i always did it that way... ah, i remembered last setup used lvm, so boot was a diferent partition, maybe i ll keep it for future flexibility to reenable a lvm [21:03] how would i do that and is it different from gtk? [21:04] chronofusion1980: i'm sure you want the GTK (aka GUI version)... [21:04] cablop: if you want, about 300Mb /boot etx3, 8Gb / ext4, the rest for /home ext4 [21:04] actionParsnip: also /home is going to be on a diferent partition... same fs as / [21:05] so realistically speaking, what is the worst that could happen if i just tried to launch a second handbrake gtk and try to get it to start ripping another dvd disc while one instance of handbrake gtk is already ripping the first disc? [21:05] actionParsnip: wow, just 8GB... i was going to make a 50GB partition for / xD lol [21:05] cablop: why so much? [21:05] chronofusion1980: do you have 2 DVD drives? if so "handbrake-gtk -d DEVICE" [21:05] actionParsnip: id didn't gave it enough mind, i was thinking the windows way xD [21:05] cablop: do you have ubuntu installed now, with separate /home patrtition? [21:06] yeap..I have a blu-ray lg burner that also rips dvd's and a regular dvd burner [21:06] actionParsnip: yes, i have the home on other place [21:06] cablop: then run: df -h how much space is / using? [21:06] " handbrake-gtk -d DEVICE " ?? im sorry im confused Linux noob here [21:06] cablop: my / is using 3.1Gb just to give you an idea....... [21:07] I have a laptop with Windoze on one partition and Ubuntu on another with GRUB. If I wanted to do a complete reinstall of Ubuntu on the same partition, what should I back up so that after the intsall I am as good to go as can be [21:07] actionParsnip: wow... i plan to put some svn repos there... but thinking again, they're not going to end on / partition... but /data... [21:07] cablop: I gave it 10Gb but its never been over 5Gb it it;s life [21:07] cablop: ahh if you are playing with svn then you'll need space [21:08] actionParsnip: yes, but i think i can set it to be on /data, beside the archive system [21:08] zykotick9- I'm confused I put that exact command in terminal and it replied " command not found" [21:08] cablop: and the 1.1xRAM for swap :) [21:08] cablop: sure, could keep that on its own partition too. Like it [21:08] chronofusion1980: we use different OSs and versions of handbrake probably... [21:09] i was going to use the 2.x for swap... just for the hibernate thing [21:09] cablop: how much RAM do you have> [21:09] 2GB now, but planning to place 4GB on that machine [21:09] when i go to " about" after loading handbrake i see a url of " http://handbrake.fr" [21:09] cablop:for 4Gb RAM I'd use about 5Gb swap if you want hibernate etc === atrius_away is now known as atrius [21:10] and version " 0.9.8. (x86_64) [21:10] cablop: 2FYIs 1) hibernate is disabled by default in ubuntu (it can be turned on somehow) 2) swap must be "slightly" large then physical RAM for hibernate to work. [21:10] how do you close an irssi window? [21:10] hmmm... space is cheap, i think the 2x size is just playing safe [21:11] actionParsnip Ubuntu-tweak is great, thanks! [21:11] TaJMoX: very hand [21:11] mattias_: quit or just close a window/channel? /quit or /wc [21:11] handy [21:11] zykotick9: i would consider that... sigh... you made me remember i use tuxonice kernels [21:11] zykotick9: thanks!!

(crossing fingers) [21:15] vlt: enable the partner repo, uninstall flashplugin-nonfree flashplugin-installer etc, then install adobe-flashplugin [21:15] hmm. [21:15] chronofusion1980: handbrake is multithreaded, so it would be awesome on your multicore rip! i'm jealous. [21:17] xD [21:17] s/rip/rig/ [21:17] well i'm not counting the chickens yet. I'm waiting on the hatched eggs [21:17] All i know is..windows 7 pro 64 bit boot...handbrake would not shrink the file less than half or 40% without the video file having massive pixelation artifacts and sound studders...Linux Rules!!

[21:19] tryy3: ask in #ubuntu-offtopic or #linux [21:20] chronofusion1980: did you check on the appdb [21:20] tryy3: sorry it's ##linux, not #linux [21:20] ?? appdb? [21:20] dr_jesus because i windows takes up alot of hardware usage [21:20] !appdb > chronofusion1980 [21:20] chronofusion1980, please see my private message [21:20] dr_willis * [21:20] zykotick9 ok [21:20] dr_willis: rather that noone seems to have updated the driver [21:20] tryy3: why are you needing a 'server' ? [21:21] dr_willis for hosting mc srver [21:21] chronofusion1980: instead of repeating what I say which does nothing, try using to web to find out. This does someting [21:21] server* [21:21] tryy3: Huh? The Desktop edition can host services.. if you are truely new to linux [21:21] dr_willis: +1 [21:22] Is there an easy way to launch an application in such a way that it cannot access the internet? [21:22] i need more or less just a better OS then windows :D [21:22] tryy3: which is why im trying to get some real 'details' of what you are tryiung to do ;) [21:22] tryy3: depends on the requirements of the OS [21:22] dr_willis minecraft servers :D [21:22] no. What i meant by that was. are you asking if i checked that in reference to my " getting starcraft II to run at much better fps? or handbrake stability in two different instances of it ripping two different dvd discs" [21:22] tryy3: mine craft works on the desktop editions just fine. [21:22] dr_willis okej thanks :D [21:23] tryy3, take a look at minetest, someday it might replace minecraft [21:23] Sorry, I'm alittle slow, I work night shift and just work up an hour ish ago. no food in house yet..waiting on wife to get home with it [21:23] chronofusion1980: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=appdb top link, even the simplest search brings it up [21:23] Artemis3 hmm...

[21:24] I KNOW what WINE hq is [21:24] taoseeker: I like to keep 5% at least on all partitions [21:25] Artemis3 i been playing constantly mc for about 1-1,5 year now, i dont wanna change now :D [21:25] taoseeker: do you mean for / or a storage partition? root needs some space to do things, that's for sure. [21:25] what did ubuntu use to replace partimage? [21:25] chronofusion1980: then you'd know what appdb is then.... [21:25] actionParsnip, 5% ? oh, and I meant withing the ubuntu os partiton [21:26] taoseeker: you can clean out old kernels and run: sudo apt-get clean to free space [21:26] tryy3, minetest is far more efficient, because it doesn't use java, uses c++ instead. [21:26] actionParsnip, I never knew about the 5 % outside the os partitions [21:26] actionParsnip: I enabled the partner repo and then `sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer; sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin; killall firefox; firefox`. NO Flash. I have done a lot of steps now. One by one. Could you please tell me all the remaining things to do now?

Same with how I learn computer apps and commands. just by doing..now necessarily their names, etc. and apparently you completely missed my question of " context" [21:26] taoseeker: its my way to do it, its not the way or best, itsjust my take [21:27] zykotick9, would it be the same for both windows and ubuntu partition ? [21:27] vlt: can you give the output of: dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' [21:27] I appreciate the info though on a sincere note [21:27] actionParsnip, I`ve never even given it a thought [21:28] actionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/w0yHBf1Z [21:28] actionParsnip: is that ontop of the 5% that's reserved for root (or do you modify that?). taoseeker i don't care about windows - so NO comments there. [21:28] actionParsnip, zykotick9 thanks for the info [21:28] taoseeker: by default 5% of ext2/3/4 is reserved for 'file recovery' and other root ussage. its tuneable. so can be reduced. [21:29] taoseeker: 5% of a 3TB partion - is quite a bit of space. :) i tend to turn mine down to like 1% or even off on some filesystems [21:29] taoseeker: the tune2fs command can change it. [21:29] vlt: can you give the output of: sudo updatedb; sudo apt-get install pastebinit; locate libflash | pastebinit Thanks [21:29] how do you adjust recovery space for file recovery in xubuntu [21:30] nevermind [21:30] dr_willis: this is free space for user stuff, not the journal [21:30] chronofusion1980: i hope you notice'd dr_willis' tune2fs command ;) [21:30] the 5% i mean is not part of the journal. [21:30] ahhhh [21:31] chronofusion1980: the partition will need to be unmounted to change it [21:31] http://www.ducea.com/2008/03/04/ext3-reserved-blocks-percentage/ [21:31] i'd say use 1% on / only, 0 elsewhere :).. and, it can take decimals so 0.1% is possible [21:32] actually you may need to reboot to make it take affect. I cant recall where i saw that at. or remount it. Im not sure it does need to be unmounted. [21:32] How do i make this command work with watch? [21:32] sudo sh -c "rabbitmqctl list_queues name messages_ready messages_unacknowledged consumers| grep data_" [21:32] Artemis3: thanks for pointing out the decimal option - didn't know that. [21:32] sudo watch sh … doesn't work [21:32] i tune the setting after i do a new install normally. :) s [21:32] actionParsnip: I already used pastebinit ;-) http://pastebin.com/kxP4uUn1 [21:33] vlt: do you use firefox browser? [21:33] jayeffkay: surround the whole command in single quotes perhaps.. sudo watch 'bla bla; [21:33] jayeffkay: surround the whole command in single quotes perhaps.. sudo watch 'bla bla' [21:33] actionParsnip: Yes.

Sounds like if i do that i'll lose my ability to boot into xubuntu. I had a fun time figuring out how to boot back into it after the Grand updates ( around 4 of them recently) [21:36] actionParsnip: Did that. No change. Still no flash. [21:37] vlt: is the plugin listed in about:plugins [21:38] actionParsnip: Yes, it appears as “Shockwave Flash” [21:38] sigh, the old ubuntu 10.10 has better support for the VIA video of my board than the current 12.04... sometimes i think ubuntu quality degraded too much in the last few years [21:38] cablop: you mean an S3 video card? [21:38] vlt: do you have flashblock or anything like that as an addon for your browser/ [21:39] cablop: you may need an xorg.conf file [21:39] dr_willis: a s3? hmmm, i don't remember exactly, it uses openchrome [21:39] actionParsnip: How to find out? (Nothing like that is listed in about:plugins.) [21:40] cablop: Via S3 i think is their brand/chipset.. From what i normally see/hear about them.. you are lucky you even get a screen. [21:41] actionParsnip: the issue is... ub 10.10 aloows me to set 1024x768 or even more res... 12.04 sticks at 800x600... even my netbook has better res [21:41] vlt: its a concious effort to install it. Have you tried renaming ~/.mozilla/firefox [21:41] cablop: sounds to me like it may be using the vga drivers [21:41] cablop: yes, if you add an xorg.conf file you can tell the system to use the resolution and driver you desire [21:41] hey [21:42] actionParsnip: i was using randr but it seems it was even ignoring it [21:42] could someone help me? === Seednode_afk is now known as Seednode [21:43] !ask | quotes [21:43] quotes: 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).

[21:48] However it has higher ram usage [21:48] chronofusion1980: chromium is a 1/2 degree separation from google-chrome. if you want to help google, continue using chromium/chrome.

[21:55] actionParsnip: Thanks, I’ll try that. [21:58] actionParsnip: should you recommend using LVM for that setup i told you? [21:59] cablop: if it gives benefits for what you need, why not === lolo is now known as Guest88591 [22:04] actionParsnip: i just think for future advantage when improving migrating the server [22:05] any known issue using gpt instead of mbr to partition a disk?

[22:07] yeah [22:07] chronofusion1980, I just installed Google Chrome by adding the key and the repository method [22:07] now AFTER you install the 3rd party nvidia drivers ( usually only two options...one has recommended..the other is post-release) THEN you shouldn't have to mess with " nomodeset" again [22:07] XiaolinDraconis why would you do that? [22:07] google-chrome-stable [22:08] chromium is in the ubuntu repos [22:08] MonkeyDust, was trying to use unity web player, now ive learned thats not possible, but still wondering why chrome wouldnt install [22:08] XiaolinDraconis- you would save yourself alot of headache and just install chromium. it's the exact same thing overall and yes you can sync everything and use all the same extensions [22:08] cant use unity web player on linux [22:09] awesome melow01.thanks for the info. I'm about to have another pc assembled soon and when i install another distro similar to mycurrent. I'll try that [22:09] anyways..gotta jet... fellas..thank you much for the help. later [22:09] FYI: I've been having issues with Chromium on a different machine, I haven't resolved it yet but I've been meaning to uninstall Chromium because it seems to crash my system [22:09] melow01 what kind of issues? === Lord_Zero_ is now known as Lord_Zero [22:11] MonkeyDust, Its an older Ubuntu distro and Chromium seems to freeze my screen [22:11] melow01: try renaming the chromium config folder too [22:11] MonkeyDust, mouse still moves, but the screen is frozen and i have to do a hard reboot [22:12] actionParsnip, thanks but its my machine at work and i'm at home - i might try it tomorrow [22:14] i want badly to be able to play these unity web games, looks like ill be waiting until the end of the year when i have a newer system and can use qemu to run windows [22:15] I just finished installing Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on my netbook, updated the OS, and installed all my apps with a bash script... anything else I should do before Clonezilla? [22:17] is clonezilla for partition cloning? [22:17] melow01 clean the cache, rm -r ~/.cache [22:17] nvm ill google it [22:17] MonkeyDust, cool thanks [22:18] XiaolinDraconis, I think it'll do both partition and whole drives [22:18] yep [22:18] sounds nice [22:18] XiaolinDraconis, I only know the basics but its been pretty solid for so far, running via usb [22:19] good compression? [22:20] I only have integrated graphics, and need to run dual monitors (11.10); i am having several issues, the first i suppose would be that hdmi is not even detected as being plugged in [22:21] Does anyone know html -> xml conversion tool for linux? [22:21] XiaolinDraconis, again, i just use the basics and set it to auto... i don't know much about the compression specs [22:23] curious question: what's with the 'zilla' apps? Mozilla, Filezilla, Clonezilla... is it the same group of developers or something? [22:24] not the same group of devs at least [22:25] probably just a nice sounding thing to put at the end of a name [22:26] gelswip, ok [22:28] soman: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/web/library/x-tiptidy/index.html [22:29] hello [22:29] .canta [22:29] Does anyone know the expected release date for Steam for Ubuntu?

[23:00] compile the driver from realtek website?> === toytoy_ is now known as toytoy [23:00] Kingsy: try: gksudo vlc then play the dVD [23:00] dev___: seems that way, could try Quantal live CD to see if the newer kernel and drivers make it stable [23:01] I believe i have compiled the driver realtek had on there website though [23:01] in past [23:01] still had issue [23:01] actionParsnip: that command does nothing [23:01] Kingsy: are you using Gnome desktop? [23:01] oh no I am not [23:02] Kingsy: so, KDE? [23:02] xfce [23:02] Kingsy: should still work with gksudo, try: sudo vlc instead [23:02] Kingsy: have you rebooted after installing libdvdread4? [23:02] zykotick9: yes.. didnt change anything [23:03] actionParsnip: please don't suggest sudo with GUI apps :| ? [23:03] actionParsnip: yeah just tried sudo vlc, it says "vlc was not designed to run as root" or something [23:03] zykotick9: gksudo didn't work. User is using XFCE, what do you advise? [23:03] Kingsy: what is the output of "groups" from a terminal? [23:04] Kingsy: oh yes it does that, try: gksudo mplayer (I think mplayer is default in Xubuntu) [23:04] zykotick9: chris adm dialout cdrom video plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare vboxusers [23:04] Could someone help me with an audio issue? [23:04] actionParsnip: sudo + GUI can break home directory permissions - it really should be avoided. [23:04] zykotick9: I know all that dude [23:05] Kingsy: well, that look sane. [23:05] yup :S [23:05] actionParsnip: I know - YOU know. so why are you suggesting it ;) [23:05] zykotick9: because gksudo failed and using sudo showed why, no harm done [23:06] let me double check the groups the packages again with the script [23:07] got it.. I must have somehow ran the script before the package was installed [23:07] its working now :) [23:08] apologies for that. I should have double checked that [23:09] out of curiousity.. why can gksudo cause problems? [23:09] Kingsy: sudo not gksudo. see "/msg ubottu gksudo" for details. [23:10] Kingsy: gksudo is for GUI apps (and CLI apps), sudo is for CLI only [23:10] thanks [23:10] Kingsy: sudo doesn't setup the GUI environment correctly [23:10] well cheers actionParsnip zykotick9 I appriciate the help [23:12] kameron!

[23:19] xsiic, good start is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [23:20] oh, the heks [23:20] need some help. I just upgraded my Ubuntu 10.04 LTS server to 12.04 LTS, and everything is great...except I can't get php to talk to a database. Also, I'm getting errors in /var/log/apach2/error.log - mod_fcgid segfaults. [23:20] kurt dont pm me [23:20] xsiic: (i can't, i'm bad with audio) but what card do you have? the channel could certainly use the info - does "lspci | grep -i audio" list your soundcard? [23:20] the two are likely related [23:21] zykotick9: I'm actually trying to run audio through HDMI, but my computer won't allow audio to be played. Video through HDMI works, though. [23:21] xsiic: ya, i've never used hdmi audio - i'm useless. good luck. [23:21] zykotick9: alright, thanks anyway [23:22] xsiic: so what video card are you using then? "lspci | grep -i vga"? channel might be interested still ;) [23:23] I'm using a GeForce GT 555M. If it helps, I have a Lenovo Y570.

[23:24] phong_: its a CLI app [23:24] where is the shortcut for it? [23:24] phong_: you could have installed with: sudo apt-get install youtube-dl [23:24] action are you there [23:24] phong_: there isn't a shortcut for it [23:24] well how to run it [23:24] I compiled and installed i believe [23:24] phong_: its a CLI app [23:25] what do u meant?

[23:27] i have a question [23:28] Anyone know of any IRC channels for comp security related??? [23:28] actionParsnip, is there video convert? [23:28] dev___: the appdb will show you how to make apps wok (if they work at all) [23:28] to avi or mkv [23:28] Because I can maintain around 50fps on ultra settings whilst in fullscreen, but it freezes semi constantly, even doing trivial things in unpopulated areas, the screen seems to freeze, I can still move my mouse around and stuff but I can't interact with anything, any clues as to what it might be? [23:28] phong_: many [23:28] free? [23:28] phong_: do you can install ffmpeg [23:28] phong_: sure, mencoder and ffmpeg are free [23:28] yaarrr, how to install it? [23:28] sudo apt-get install ffmpeg [23:28] actionParsnip, is it GUI ? [23:28] phong_: take a WILD guess [23:29] i like gui ..easy to see :) [23:29] ok i am going to restart i believe and see if the driver updated [23:29] ffmpeg -i video ouputy video [23:29] for wifi [23:29] So I bought this PC with Windows Vista OEM back in early 2008. The OS was 64-bit. I bough a fingerprint reader with the PC. It was a "Microsoft Fingerprint Reader" and didn't work out of the box, because it only had 32-bit drivers. I waited and waited for MS to release 64-bit drivers and that never happened. There was a campaign sometime in 2010 that gave people back $50 for their useless fingerprint readers that didn't work with any 64-bit O [23:29] S. Fast forward to 2012 - I'm happily on Ubuntu (64-bit) and somehow got an idea to test whether my fingerprint reader would magically work. A big of googling and guess what - I'm now using Microsoft Fingerprint Reader for the first time! :D [23:29] phong_: phong_there is handbrake [23:29] just wanted to share :] [23:30] do people use the fingerprint reader? [23:30] weird [23:30] i suggest handbrake [23:30] it's kinda cool [23:30] phong_: also if you got a web cam do you can install ttv and put the command line as ttv -c /dev/videso0 73 [23:30] * zykotick9 encodes all video to m4v (aka mp4) using handbrake... even though mp4 ISN'T an open standard (which make /me sad :( - it's still the most cross compatible currently) [23:30] * actionParsnip doesn't download youtube as I have a web connection nearly anywhere I am, so just stream stuff [23:30] daze, post your succes story on ubuntu forum :-) [23:31] actionParsnip, if i do with command line...it will save in the current working directory? [23:31] is it possible to convert a video file [23:31] phong_: yes [23:31] hehe, maybe I will :) [23:31] * zykotick9 notes further default ubuntu repo can't produce mp4 due to license issues with ffmpeg and the aac audio required for mp4 output... === john__ is now known as Ubuntu-BR [23:31] ok === Ubuntu-BR is now known as Ubuntu === Ubuntu is now known as Ubuntu-BR [23:31] phong_: instead of asking, why not just try it and see [23:31] is it possible to convert a video file by giving a size? [23:31] ok sir! [23:32] i mean is it possible to convert a video file by giving a desired file size? [23:32] ju2gle1: size in wat sense? [23:32] hello actionParsnip Im traing to revive a router who have the chip IS42S16400b 7T in a command line and i not have the address who are blocking the pings MY PING can you help me out in hardware [23:32] ju2gle1: it is [23:32] ju2gle1: that's an old-school way to look at encoding. but yes it's possible, but should be discouraged. decide on a quality level instead ;) [23:32] daze: how? [23:33] also actionParsnip i have installed a copy off chaintools [23:33] i can install any software, which one do i need? [23:33] Action how would i go about checking if the compiled driver i did is installed?

[23:52] saludos [23:52] rootmarr, they won't allow you as root [23:52] !rootirc [23:52] It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. [23:52] Benn: Haha! I forgot to laugh, this is meant to be a Ubuntu Support, not a bloody comedy stand up chat room [23:53] rootmarr: then ask in #freenode [23:53] Ubottu: Hello there! [23:54] hello [23:54] Guest56408, just ask your question instead of just saying that you have a problem with Wine. It's hard to not be a jerk when things like that happen. [23:54] rootmarr: fyi, you CAN'T be root to join whatever BT irc channel is! [23:54] i understand,tank you:) [23:54] i must to be user [23:55] Benn: I have, now I want support please, is that any better, and you don't know me. So how? the hell I'm i jerk them ;-)?? [23:56] zykotick9: guess its some kind of backtrack joke [23:56] Guest56408, I was calling myself a jerk. All I know is that you downloaded a game successfully. [23:57] actionParsnip: root is the default account of that terrible derivative ;) [23:57] zykotick9: its not terrible, people just use it for what it isn't intended for [23:58] actionParsnip: agreed!
