[00:21] *set in [00:22] hey all, im running a smb share from my ubuntu machine. I mostly share movies and watch them in my living room off my laptop hooked up to my tv. Problem is 720p quality movies "buffer" or "pause" a lot. I'm guessing this is because the wifi signal isn't very strong. I was wondering if there was a way to combat this issue. maybe set up a way to stream a compressed version or something and uncompress it on the tv? === quazar is now known as Guest10550 [00:23] frankly I'd shoot for a more stable network connection if possible [00:23] dandaman: movis are compressed lol [00:23] gogeta: yeah you're right :( [00:23] recursive_: i dont know how that's possible, i have a pretty strong router [00:23] I've had good success over short distances with ethernet over powerline adapters in cases where I can't string network cables [00:24] powerline adapter? [00:24] fdfs [00:24] is there a difference between these 2 commands: apachectl graceful <==> service apache2 restart? I ask because the latter gives me an error and the former doesn't [00:24] yeah. it looks like a big powerbrick / AC adapter, but its got an ethernet port in it [00:24] dandaman: yea i have seen those before but your house wiring shape is a big factor [00:24] dsfsdfwerkljsdfkl [00:24] sorry [00:24] you get a pair, and they effectively bridge the two ends like you'd run a cable through [00:25] recursive_: holy shit, no way, that is amazing [00:25] ubuntu 12.04, having a mouse issue which seems to be described here (http://matt-linux-log.blogspot.com/2010/10/saitek-cyborg-rat-in-linux.html) but i'm having trouble implementing the fix listed [00:25] I have a relatively old / electrically noisy house, but it does work for short distances. not perfect, but better than wifi for short distances [00:25] you can send packets...through your electrical outlets? [00:25] yes [00:25] dandaman: its not that great anything more then short distance interfearince starts to make it crap [00:26] I run cable as far as I can go, then drop one of those near the obstruction (chimney in my house) [00:26] Anyone? [00:26] the distance is about 25-30 feet [00:26] then place the second as close as I can, and then add more ethernet [00:26] will it work for that distance? [00:26] recursive_: naa i goot direncinal wifi system owns anything else [00:26] good [00:26] it should. mine is about that. [00:27] something to try, at least.

[00:29] dandaman: they make a wireless n model to [00:29] anyone there [00:29] omg [00:29] it still im still having wifi problems [00:29] :(( [00:30] dev___: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:30] oh yeah the hawking antennas are decent. that's the setup I had before I tried the powerline stuff [00:30] yeah i have a hawking wireless adapter too, im letting my roommate borrow it [00:30] the powerline setup works better for me, but probably because I'm stringing regular ethernet cable for 90% of the distance. [00:30] might be better than the internal wifi the laptop has, im gonna give it a shot [00:31] those powerline ethernet cords seem really nifty though [00:31] what happens if you plug more than one into your circuitry? [00:31] I'm using ubuntu 12.04 and I would like to have a permanent entry put in to grub. As every time there is a kernel update it changes grub and removes my entry. This particular partition needs to have the entry made a certain way that ubuntu does not configure correctly this making this OS not boot after every kernel update. Any ideas? [00:31] dandaman: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833164030 [00:31] i wonder how the protocols handle that [00:32] oh man gogeta, that is slick [00:32] mine doesn't have the wifi card built into it [00:32] dandaman: its not abought being more powerfull its abought sending the radio waves in one direction [00:32] dandaman: more distance that way [00:33] I know there's a ton of signal attenuation going on in the coax cable in mine [00:33] that thing must have the receiver right under the dish. [00:34] gogeta: wait, so does the powerline ethernet work through your electrical circuitry, or does it power the wireless signal like a repeater [00:34] electrical circuitry [00:34] kk [00:35] not 100% sure about the security implications with shared walls in apartments and such...

[00:52] Trying to install an Epson Workforce 323 all in one printer on 12.04.. Printer seems to work fine but the scanner doesn't. Any suggestions/Advice ? Thank you. [00:52] ramos: what software are you using for your webcam. do you know what ports you need opened? [00:52] very, exactly linux was not relies on file type like windows does ... But you can choose to open with application with right click [00:53] Ok, I solved my problem, with this answer: http://askubuntu.com/questions/133011/set-default-language-to-english-us-in-12-04 [00:53] I'm trying to install ubuntu on a external hard drive...from a netbook acer...no cd rom, if i try to go trough usb unversal installer = i get no cdrom, if i go trough the windows installer...it sas missing file i get on a black screen with boot: [00:53] any sugestion? [00:53] recursive_, let me give you the rundown first [00:54] Hatori: When I use a right click there is a menu item `Open With Other Application...` [00:54] Raistlin-: try unetbootin you make a usb installer [00:54] recursive_, the webcam is connected directly to my router [00:54] very, yes... [00:54] !md5sum < Raistlin- [00:54] wilee-nilee: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:54] recursive_, what I want to do is be able to access it from anywhere outside my wireless lan [00:55] Raistlin-: wait you trying to install from or to the drive [00:55] Raistlin-, Check the md5sum of the ISO as well. [00:55] Hatori: But the other applications are just a list of Recommended, Related and Other Applications. [00:55] choose other application you want... And make defaults do you want [00:55] ramos: so this is network webcam? never tried one of those. I'm guessing it has an ip address that you pop in a browser somewhere? [00:55] im trying to install on the external harddrive... [00:56] ramos: In that case, do you know how to get to your router's configuration page? [00:56] Raistlin-: hua [00:56] recursive_, exactly...The cam has its own ip and what I want to do it access it remotely [00:56] hua? [00:56] Raistlin-: you trying to put linux on the ext drive or the netbook [00:56] ext drive [00:57] Hatori: But the list doesn't contain the application I want. In 10.04 I was able to select the executable with a file dialog. [00:57] recursive_, yes I know how get into it...Problem is im not sure what info to put in for port forwarding....I'm sure I got all the info I need though (ip addres, dns, gateway, etc) [00:57] Raistlin-: just treat it like any other drive then just make shure to slect grub to install on that drive [00:57] very, you should browse and choose on [00:58] Hatori: There is no `Browse` button. Only a `Find applications online` button which doesn't find any applications. [00:58] Raistlin-, An external drive is not your problem, that is the easy part using a manual install, you need to check if the ISO Is not corrupt with a md5sum and be aware of a driver missing if you still get a black screen without any errors the next time you try. [00:58] ramos: ok, so the end goal here will be to setup a port forward such that when you point your web browser at your external IP address (the one your ISP gives you) it gets forwarded to the ip of the webcam at port 80 [00:59] very, can you exactly enter a exact path... I no have 12.04 [00:59] wilee-nilee: something tells me hes trying to install to and from at the same time [00:59] recursive_, yes I understand what you're saying [00:59] hello guys, i want an high end sound to put on my system with ubuntu os, any soundcard would you recommend? [00:59] ramos: and you're saying you've created that port forwarding rule in your router and it doesnt work? [00:59] well i just dowloaded the iso...i dont see why it would be corrupt...it comes from ubuntu site [01:00] gogeta, That may be the case one never knows. [01:00] Raistlin-, If you just assume you will get no where. [01:00] recursive_, I haven't done anything yet...I haven't set up port forwarding before [01:00] Hatori: In 10.04 I was able to enter a path. Seems like they removed the feature. [01:00] true [01:01] Raistlin-, When you have problems you have to start knocking out possibilities === Seednode_away is now known as Seednode [01:01] oh. ok. well its pretty basic. there should be a spot where you can specify what port number you want forwarded and which IP address to forward to. [01:01] oki [01:01] that is waht i was starting asking if it was the drive the problem [01:01] port 80 is the default for most webpages (like that of your webcam) [01:01] In order to get music artist info to show I have to manually search each artist. Is there a setting that I am missing? [01:02] very, thats seems a bad thing :d [01:02] recursive_, so are we talking port range triggering, single port forwarding, or port range forwarding? [01:02] Raistlin-, The usb installer and the external are different devices? [01:02] single port forwarding [01:03] well the usb installer(from ubuntu site) is software adn the external..is hardware...im assuming this what you are asking... [01:03] wilee-nilee: whers my money [01:03] lol [01:03] Raistlin-, NO I'm asking if the are 2 different hardware deveices [01:03] maybe i should have installed the application with a packet manager.

[01:05] hello bombaytracker [01:05] Hatori, ok - give me one moment, I'll have another shot. [01:05] Raistlin-: you need to put the installer on a sd card or something and from ther install to the ext drive [01:06] recursive_, ok so what about the config page for my webcam? [01:06] ok i understand.. [01:06] ramos: next step is to look up your external IP address and pop that puppy in your browser to admire your handwork [01:06] Hatori - it's running now. Do you have any idea what caused that? [01:06] I have a question for the Ubuntu-Professionals (well actually two questiones) [01:06] ramos: how do you usually access the config page? [01:06] so basicly, I put the usb intaller on a usb stick and then isntall on my hard drive.... [01:06] i understand [01:06] barkingfish, maybe some bad connection for some times :d [01:07] thanks [01:07] Raistlin-: yep that will work fine [01:07] I just installed Ubuntu today for the first time instead of Windows and I wonder why the Ubuntu system is so slow [01:07] recursive_, well right now I'm accessing it through the dhcp ip it obtained from the router [01:07] gogeta thanks for the helps...its logicial... [01:07] !ask | bombaytracker [01:07] bombaytracker: 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 [01:07] ah, ok Hatori - thank you [01:07] Raistlin-: being your installing onto a ext rember to tell grub to install there and not internely [01:07] is it less demanding then windows 7? [01:07] Raistlin-: or think will brake when the drives not connected [01:08] things [01:08] okay Hatori I understand [01:08] question: why is a fresh Ubuntu installation so slow? [01:08] ramos: wait, when you did the port forwarding, you forwarded to the ip address of the webcam, right? not your computer... [01:08] bombaytracker, thats sound bads..but maybe need knowloedges,why this is happen [01:09] recursive_, that's right [01:09] okay, another question: why does my installation of gnome 3 not work or even appear on the boot screen? [01:09] recursive_, but now there's a config page that needs to be set up on the webcam [01:09] bombaytracker, commonly related with the graphic card [01:09] Raistlin-: then after install you would be able to slect the usb drive when you hit your boot menu key and start linux [01:09] is ubuntu less demanding then windows 7? (read faster OS) [01:09] bombaytracker, Did you install it as gnome-shell [01:10] okay, last question: what does "slackbuild" mean and how do I do it? [01:10] Raistlin-: at some things [01:10] ramos: and is that at a different port than the regular webcam page? [01:10] yes, wilee-nilee [01:10] I installed it 2 times [01:10] Raistlin-: im no fan on stock ubuntu [01:10] of [01:10] bombaytracker, what specs laptop are you using? [01:10] it is a lenovo thinkpad t61 [01:10] Raistlin-: for a netbook i suggest lubuntu [01:10] bombaytracker, What ubuntu release is this [01:10] basicly, web browsing, email, cam chat with wife while im deployed, watching movies, and music [01:10] the latest Ubuntu version [01:11] what doesn't quassel allow me to ignore someone? [01:11] ramos: so to view your webcam, you browse to 192.168.1.112, and to configure it, there's another page? 192.168.1.112:8080 (or some other port?) [01:11] bombaytracker, You know of the dropdown right at login? [01:11] Raistlin-: something wrong with the internel drive? [01:11] what ==why [01:11] didn't see any dropdown, I only saw the password prompt at login [01:12] n0sq, Quantal? [01:12] gogeta not at all, i just want to try out something new, and something different [01:12] Raistlin-: or just keeping windows there? [01:12] but I am new to Ubuntu so maybe I have just not found it [01:12] I will try to find it, wilee-nilee, thank you [01:12] gogeta i want to keet windows there if i have problem with ubuntu [01:12] bombaytracker, Right next to the login is a gear click it for the dropdown of available desktops [01:12] recursive_, yes, that's right.. and it's asking for information like static, dhcp, primary and secondary dns, subnet mask and default gateway [01:13] I see, wilee-nilee, thank you very much for the hint [01:13] keep* [01:13] well, you can setup multiple port forwarding rules [01:13] bombaytracker, no problem. ;) [01:13] but there is still another question: how to use a so-called "slackbuild"? [01:13] Raistlin-: thats fine its just as a said make shure grub goes to the ext [01:13] oki [01:13] thanks :) [01:13] Raistlin-: and i suggest this for netbooks [01:14] Raistlin-: http://lubuntu.net/ [01:14] :) [01:14] Bombaytracker, slackbuild was used by slackware linux and their derivative [01:14] Raistlin-: and 2 packages laptop-mode-tools and zram [01:14] word of caution though: if these webpages don't have any kind of security or login checks, this is publicly accessible. [01:14] is it complaxe [01:14] complex? [01:14] Hatori: and how do I do such a slackbuild? [01:14] Raistlin-: laptop mode fixes the bad power magment of the stock kernel more battery life [01:14] Raistlin-: naa there install and forget [01:15] ok thnaks [01:15] ill look at ti [01:15] bombaytracker, thats not recommended .. [01:15] Raistlin-: i get 4 and a half hrs with laptop mode and my batery is only a 3 cell rated for 3 hrs [01:15] ramos: it may not be advisable to forward config pages to the outside world. but a second port forward would do the trick. [01:15] Raistlin-: zram uses ram for swap and compresses memery [01:15] recursive_, I don't follow you [01:16] bombaytracker, Here is the latest slackware build. http://www.slackware.com/ [01:16] wilee-nilee: if I get you right, this slackware is another linux system? [01:17] bombaytracker, Yeah, I believe puppylinux is now slack based as well. [01:17] damn [01:17] bombaytracker, slackware was oldest popular linux distro [01:17] wilee-nilee: puppy can be based on slack and debions [01:17] ramos: just commenting not to forward anything that you consider private if your webcam doesn't have some kind of login page or something to stop random people from mucking with it. [01:17] wilee-nilee: there is a ubuntu puppy out there as well [01:18] the problem is, I want to install a .deb file and this installation requires the installation of other packets first and the only good howto I could find seemed to be a slackbuild [01:18] recursive_, yeah I got that [01:18] oh about the second port forwarding rule? [01:18] wilee-nilee: the maker made that change so they where not only limited to puppy only packages [01:18] but maybe someone could help me with that anyways [01:19] gogeta, Yeah I know, I know al about puppy, the latest is slack though, all the others are puplets. http://puppylinux.org/main/Download%20Latest%20Release.htm [01:19] my wireless won't obtain a valid ip address, can anyone help? [01:19] well you can make as many port forwards as you want in your router. simply make another one. Same IP address and everything, but instead of telling it its a HTTP site (which probably just sets it to forward port 80), forward the port at which the config page sits. [01:19] recursive_, yeah that too [01:19] wilee-nilee: lucid puppy i the ubuntu one === Seednode is now known as Seednode_away [01:20] gogeta, and not the latest release [01:20] wilee-nilee, Macpup-529 based on ubuntu precise [01:20] ramos: ... so did it work? if you point your browser at your external IP address, do you see your webcam? [01:20] Ray2, and considered a puplet I believe [01:20] wilee-nilee: yea always take them a bit but im shure a 12.04 one will come [01:21] the developer switched to slack is all [01:21] as of now lol [01:21] wilee-nilee: no he didnt the builder supports both [01:22] wilee-nilee: i knoe i did pupee 4.2 [01:22] ah [01:22] Hatori: I think I got it. I put a link to the executable into ~/.local/share/applications/ === Breadflour is now known as Dreadtower [01:22] ramos: worth mentioning: your webcam's ip address is dynamically assigned. it *could* change on you (though often it won't if there's no reason to). Some routers have a way to always give certain devices (identified by their MAC address) the same IP address every time. It might be worth checking if your router can do that for you. [01:22] they are al good it depends on what you are looking for [01:23] well, actually the link was there already. but the command did not end with %f [01:23] recursive_, looks like I got it working [01:23] Now I'm gonna go outside my network to test it [01:23] wilee-nilee: yea they are working on a 12.04 puppy [01:25] wilee-nilee: what changed with puppy was the old builder would only support pet files. as for puppy 5 it support deb rpm pet and slackware [01:26] I had read that yeah gogeta [01:26] Can someone explain why I'm getting a bunch of errors during install "the following file did not match its source copy on the cd/dvd" - I'm using a USB stick and the ISO MD5 is verified. I've tried many USBs and downloaded Ubuntu from another mirror but it's just not working. Please advise? [01:27] wilee-nilee: so you are seeing puppys based on said distros [01:27] wilee-nilee: it looks like the 12.04 is clled puppy ov-percise [01:27] gogeta, I mess with puppy on occasion, but am now overwhelmed by papers in a grad program so don't have the time. [01:28] I'm just taking a break right now, I'm worn out, lol. [01:28] wilee-nilee: i point people to it when they ask will ubuntu run on 200mb ram [01:29] yeah me to damn small is to much of a hassle to get running, puppy is rather user friendly [01:29] the "alt" key is not focusing on the current application [01:29] I hit alt then type and it gives me general system options [01:29] dsl is way outdated to [01:29] * hmmwhatsthisdo ponders if puppy could be shoehorned onto an Android/iOS device [01:29] hmmwhatsthisdo: yes i saw that on youtube a tablet running pupy [01:29] if i deselect download updates during install, it doesn't come up with any errors. why?! [01:30] you can shoehorn ubuntu in a chroot environment on a tablet. [01:30] check out Complete Linux Installer [01:31] hmmwhatsthisdo: but the guy tht did it had to compiled the entire thing for arm the puppy communty does that make a arm distro [01:31] hmmwhatsthisdo, probably I have a nexus 7 it is just sets of partitions with grub as a bootloader I have not had time to see if I could do an actual dualboot, there are methods to run ubuntu on it though. [01:31] works on my nexus 7 :) [01:31] birds of a feather IRC together, eh? [01:32] h\heh at night im on hear on a nook tablet [01:32] anyone knows how to convert a text file to pdf using a2x ?? [01:32] admittedly, its pretty ugly. you're still running the android kernel so some things get a little shakey when they depend on kernel modules that aren't there. [01:32] and graphics is all through vnc. [01:33] recursive_: yep ill wait for the nativ sloution [01:33] gogeta: I'm hoping that comes soon. There's work on a native X server for android. [01:34] gogeta: so at least graphics wouldn't be so incredibly painful. the chroot thing does have the perk of not requiring bootloader changes, or reboots. [01:35] hi... I need to upgrade a server running ubuntu server 7.04 to a currently supported release, how do I do this? [01:36] recursive_: well if they manage to make it work something like wubi [01:36] recursive_: that will be plenty good enough [01:36] You blocked me on Freenode and now you're going to die. [01:37] J_Bullet: that sounds like trouble. is it critical you upgrade in place, or could a fresh install work? [01:37] InternetFriends: interesting statement.... [01:38] +q $~a? [01:38] Never heard of that before. [01:41] im still having wifi problems [01:41] :( [01:43] dev___, whats up? [01:43] anyone knows whats the equivalent of word in ubuntu? [01:43] my wifi chip is having problems with ubuntu i randomly get disconnected from internet [01:43] tucemiux: whatever you want! I use google docs a lot. OpenOffice is another good one [01:44] when on wifi [01:44] gedit [01:44] i compiled the driver from realtek website and it still has the problem [01:44] tucemiux: if you're really adventurous, it is sometimes possible to run Microsoft word itself through WINE [01:44] dev___, what is the make model [01:45] dev__: don't say 8188 [01:45] recursive_, you know if the new version of word runs in wine? o.O [01:45] i followed http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1944493 [01:45] and yes [01:45] i believe it is [01:45] tucemiux: 2010? Last I checked, it was a pain to setup and I can't vouch for its stability, but I have successfully used 2007. [01:46] rtl8188ce [01:46] dev__: I feel your pain. I have that one too [01:46] Did you fix the probs with yours? [01:46] dev__: Lenovo x120e? [01:46] nope i have a HP dv6 [01:47] dev__: nah not really. It works ok out of the box, but it does drop connections and occasionally just slows way down. [01:47] how much does it drop connections for you ? [01:48] for me its about every other 5 or 2 minutes [01:48] dev__: depends. On my home network, almost never. On my old university campus with WPA2 (not sure if that specifically was the issue though), all the time. [01:48] I have delt with this issue to the point im considering going back to windows [01:48] dev__: that campus was probably RF hell too. [01:49] dev__: I got tired of troubleshooting and just bought a usb wifi card for which i knew good drivers existed [01:49] do you still use it? [01:49] what wifi card? [01:49] dev__: kind of a bummer, but having one of those things laying around is a useful tool in a lot of circumstances [01:50] i do [01:50] mine is an Asus WL-167g [01:50] don't know if they still make them. there are probably better ones out there now. [01:51] Trying to get my Music Library sorted out. In order to get artist info and thumbnails working I am having to refresh each artist individually. "Query info for all artists" gets the info, but no thumbs. Is there a way around doing this all manually? [01:51] are you on the laptop right now or no? [01:51] no, I'm on a desktop === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [01:52] :( [01:52] I really don't know what to do now [01:52] go back to windows and get game support back and others or stay on ubuntu [01:53] dev__: If you were super motivated, you could swap out the wifi card inside your laptop. most of them are mini pci anyhow. its possible (except the bios on my x120e actually checks to make sure its a specific card. what a pain) [01:53] I prefer learning perl on linux though [01:53] what are you trying to do? [01:53] cause in reality, wine can do some fun stuff if u provide the correct libraries to it [01:53] Yea that would be to much trouble [01:54] no support for the card? [01:54] I think tomarrow i will pull the modem and wifi and put in my room and use wired [01:54] crap.. my bad. wrong channel [01:54] but if i have any other problems im just going back to windows [01:54] I miss alot of things yet i gain alot of things using ubuntu [01:54] always something -_- [01:55] testbottestbot? [01:55] dev__: I feel your pain. Who knows, I haven't used that laptop that much in the last couple months, maybe driver support has improved. For me, it seemed to work more or less fine on my own private wifi network. [01:56] yea i am using my own but drops are horrible [01:56] and it does get slow [01:56] OH [01:56] Ive searched the interwebs and tried so many methods [01:56] none work [01:56] dev__: I remembered i found a workaround [01:56] You remember how to do it? [01:56] I think part of the slowdown issue had to do with network-manager performing periodic scans for nearby networks [01:57] so what you might try is abandoning network-manager and trying out wicd instead [01:57] wicd doesn't scan once connected [01:58] alright [01:58] howdy [01:58] Everytime I try to run an apt-get install I get "Internal Error, No file name for libssl1.0.0 [01:59] any help?

[02:11] art3m, your forgot the password, that's not our problem [02:11] I guess I'll be back in town in couple of days [02:12] yes, thank you... [02:12] i have a dual boot PC with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04. Can my Ubuntu be upgraded to 11 or 12 and not harm the window 7 installation nor it's files? [02:12] wdsnead, This a install from windows=wubi or a partitioned install? [02:13] you are luck i couldnt figure out how to dual boot with my windows 7 it always booted into windows 7 and never gave option for ubuntu [02:13] partitioned. windows on one and ubuntu on the other... [02:13] XDev, you didnt/ or at least tell grub to install properly [02:13] !boot-repair [02:13] How didnt i [02:13] wdsnead, Sholud not be a problem, but always have backups anyway, a clone is your best insurance. [02:14] Should* [02:14] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [02:14] ^ [02:14] "Errors were encountered while processing: libssl1.0.0:i386" [02:14] it failed when I used the dpkg -i [02:15] dylan, you don't have an application packaged? [02:15] okay. thanks so much. the window 7 install was pretty straight forward. guess i was lucky. have a blessed evening. [02:16] That seems hard to configure [02:16] XDev, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [02:16] XDev, download that and burn it on a cd. [02:17] Anyone know any tutorials on how to dual boot Now with windows 7 / ubuntu (12.04) [02:17] Jagg i checked [02:17] Is there a actuall tut on it? I scanned through seems hard [02:17] XDev, fix the ubuntu boot first. I'll tell you how to fix the menu up. [02:17] When i was trying to dual with windows 7 i created a partition in windows [02:17] . [02:17] and ubuntu never recognized it correctly [02:17] it was ntfs [02:17] nfts [02:17] * jagginess will ignore XDev if he doesnt fix his ubuntu boot [02:17] what ever the format is [02:17] XDev: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:18] XDev, does ubuntu Boot, y/n? [02:18] no [02:18] so fix it. [02:18] Right now i have ubuntu only [02:19] XDev, http://members.iinet.net.au/~herman546/p23.html [02:19] :(. So i will reinstall windows again create 2 partitions install ubuntu on one [02:19] and use this boot repair cd? [02:21] XDev, you should ask for someone's help, dual-boot isnt for you. I can tell you don't have a clue what to do.. (see about "boot loaders" on wikipedia to get started) [02:22] Jagg perhapse you can't tell. I have dual booted many times on my desktop, [02:22] With this laptop it is different. [02:22] why is it different? [02:23] or perhapse its just 12.04 i have dual booted in the past with older version [02:23] well ask the guy who helped you before.. Because you need to know the basics of how boot loaders to fix multi-booting scenarios [02:23] The old way i did it didnt work for me that is why i say its diferent [02:23] well, what did you do? [02:24] All i did before was create partition in windows loaded up ubuntu on cd instlaled to that partition witch it recognized and that was all, [02:24] I got the option of ether windows 7 or ubuntu [02:25] i guess i'm confused, why is this not working on your laptop? [02:25] upon boot [02:25] That is what i dont know [02:25] XDev, YOu can't make a partition for ubuntu in windows [02:25] XDev, sounds like you wiped out windows anyways. [02:25] lol [02:25] No [02:25] * jagginess thinks people who "think" they can allocate an ext4 in windows don't know what they're talking about [02:25] The way i said before worked perfectly fine [02:26] never wiped out windows [02:26] Perhaps GRUB was never installed, or installed to the wrong disk. [02:26] wilee-nilee: well, you can... [02:26] in windows (or ubuntu) you should be able to get a look at the partitioning of your disk [02:26] you just clear the space under windows, then you just install ubuntu to that free space [02:27] KM0201, not using the windows partitioner. [02:27] wilee-nilee: yes you can.. you clear the space w/ windows partitioner, then you install to that partition w/ the ubuntu installer (which formats the filesystem) [02:27] Jagg im not saying you are wrong. All im saying is i did it before [02:27] how do i disable humanized modified date/time in thunar? [02:27] i've helped people do it many, many times [02:27] KM0201, That is not making a partition as the user decsribed [02:27] described [02:27] Weather all the steps i said before are right It worked when i did it and that is all i know [02:27] So obvisouly i can [02:27] nevermind! it's a menu option [02:27] wilee-nilee: i understand that, but we've already established he has no idea what he's talking about... so i think it's safe to say, thats what he did. [02:28] * jagginess says "Win7" can boot and resize it's own ntfs where C:\ is residing [02:28] Other wise i must have been high when i saw windows 7/ ubuntu option and loaded windows perfectly fine aswell as ubuntu [02:28] KM0201, Then why bother me. [02:28] or just non human [02:28] you pick [02:28] it worked though [02:28] XDev: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:28] wilee-nilee: because you told him it couldn't be done... and yes it could. [02:28] http://lifehacker.com/5403100/dual+boot-windows-7-and-ubuntu-in-perfect-harmony [02:28] alright: XDev, can you describe the state of your disk partitions? [02:29] that is similar to what i did [02:29] If that is so called {Impossible} well that you are wrong === resistivecorpse is now known as resistivecorpse2 [02:29] KM0201, I said you can't make a partition for ubuntu in windows that is a true statement, if the user does not know the difference between a unallocated space and a partition they should say so. [02:29] I am going to go ahead and assume we're talking about a single disk, with a a windows partition, possibly and ubuntu partition or free space? === resistivecorpse2 is now known as resistivecorpse [02:29] Awh [02:30] Perhapse you did not know the difference between what i was saying [02:30] wilee-nilee: you have to be a lawyer.... like i said, it's clear what he "meant" to say.... he cleared space for ubuntu and installed to that partition, just accept it, your life will be easier [02:30] Just accept nothing, [02:30] XDev, You have made little sense in all your rhetoric, lol [02:31] wilee-nilee: now that, we can agree on [02:31] Ether way this method http://lifehacker.com/5403100/dual+boot-windows-7-and-ubuntu-in-perfect-harmony witch i did before doesnt work [02:31] Can someone help [02:31] !ask [02:31] 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 [02:31] !ask | XDev [02:31] XDev: please see above [02:32] I did that [02:32] XDev: in which case, ask again [02:33] -_-. Can someone help with dual booting, this is the method i tried and doesn't work http://lifehacker.com/5403100/dual+boot-windows-7-and-ubuntu-in-perfect-harmony [02:34] Does your system have a single hard drive? [02:34] yes [02:34] I do however have a external [02:34] Ok, I wanted to eliminate the possibility that you accidentally installed grub to the wrong disk. [02:34] no [02:35] When i tried that method all that happens is I go to windows only, and cant get back into ubuntu [02:36] was windows already on this device? [02:36] yes [02:36] XDev: where did you shrink it to? [02:36] So when I do a dual-boot, my process is as follows: (1) Install Windows - Allow windows to install to a partition which is roughly half the disk, and leave the remainder as unallocated, free space. (2) Install Ubuntu, make sure ubuntu knows to use that free space. Let the ubuntu installer partition and format its own free space that we left over when installing windows. (3) Let the Ubuntu installer install GRUB (which lets [02:36] us choose which OS to boot into). This is usually the default setup. [02:37] resursive [02:37] XDev: It sounds like GRUB may have failed to install for some reason. In this case, Windows' bootloader is left in place. [02:37] ^makes sense to me. [02:38] The only thing i have a prob with is the settings upon installing ubuntu to partition that unallocated space [02:38] And aftewards the bootloader part [02:39] XDev: if you made the unallocated partition under Windows, you would need to do that manually === Justasic2 is now known as Justasic [02:39] .. [02:39] .. [02:39] just use gparted live cd [02:39] XDev: how much space did you clear for Ubuntu? [02:39] end-of-story. [02:40] jagginess: well, if he's already cleared the space, that's kinda pointless [02:40] http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [02:40] no. [02:40] yea. [02:40] he should just make two partitions. 1 for ext4 and the other for swap. [02:40] well i have tried multiples times so im bascing my information off those [02:40] evne if he uses a gparted live cd to partition the space, he will have to set that partition up manually [02:40] (and have whatever 1 or 2 ntfs that are already there untouched) [02:40] also, you can install and run gparted from an ubuntu live cd right before the install [02:40] I have tried half of 600GB half windows / ubuntu [02:40] yeah.. but gparted livecd is always the latest edition. [02:40] Hello, I have 10.10. TOday i upgrade the kernel to 3.2. But my graphic is same. I want my 10.10 is like 12.04. 12.04 can enable my Compiz, but 10.10 is not. My 12.04 LSPCI is VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09). How do I fix this? [02:41] * KM0201 wishes people would actually read what people say before they make themselves look like morons [02:41] KM0201, he doesnt even have a swap partition. [02:41] !eol | Malsasa_ [02:41] Malsasa_: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [02:41] jagginess: i'm well aware of that [02:41] but that has nothing to do w/ his problem at the moment [02:42] KM0201, well he's been on here for like 20 minutse already. No progress with you here.. [02:42] jagginess: because i've not been following his conversation [02:42] but i can tell there's a few "helping" him, who have no clue what they are talking about... and your comments immediately jumped out [02:42] XDev: I believe ubuntu's installer has a "install ubuntu to empty space" option that takes care of it for you. [02:42] no.. [02:42] recursive_: no... that will not work [02:42] XDev, easiest tool for you is gparted live cd.. to see what the hell it is with your partition setup. [02:42] I never saw that [02:43] XDev: answer your PM before you get more bad advice.. i'll talk you through this. [02:43] don't use a frickin gparted live CD... god people... READ WHAT HE IS SAYING... he already has the partition made [02:43] he has to manually set the partition... [02:43] KM0201, and so you think he does.. [02:43] I'll be right to bed honey, someones wrong on the internet. [02:43] * jagginess retires to Hallelujah [02:43] tyler_d: lmao [02:44] So far Recursive's been the only one with reasonable advice km / jagg all you have done is say i am wrong. Obviously i am not as experienced in this otherwise i wouldnt be in a ubuntu support channel -_- [02:44] XDev: either answer my PM and i will help you, or i'll simply dub you a troll and ignore. [02:44] cuz the advice you're getting here is terrible [02:44] dub me a troll? Look in the mirror and read what i just said [02:45] i guess that means ignore..lol [02:45] !ops KM0201 [02:45] * KM0201 chuckles [02:45] KM0201: please stop saying people are giving terrible advice and being a troll [02:45] XDev: i have tried to help you, you will not listen. [02:46] KM0201: from what I have seen, you have done no such thing [02:46] twitchie: have you actually scrolled up to see the context of this conversation?... i've came here for a long time, and have never been accused of giving out "bad advice" [02:46] be the bigger man [02:46] tyler_d: i'm th eonly one that seems to understand his problem [02:46] But I want to install it. [02:47] KM0201: I get that it's frustrating, but you are getting way to emotional over this. simply help him here. if he doesn't respond and decides to troubleshoot with someone else. don't take it personally [02:47] selling Notch autograph, bid starts at 2000 usd [02:48] i'm not taking it personal, other than when someone calls me a troll, when if they would just scroll up, they'd see that is absolutely noot th ecase. [02:48] ok. so let's just move on. [02:48] anyway, i'm done... i'll go off to calmer channels..lol, XDev as i said, if you want help, just PM me... [02:48] XDev: are you trying this dual boot on a newer machine? [02:48] Yes? [02:48] know anything about getting the 'fn' key to work on an apple alu keyboard(bluetooth) that show's 0 input through xev [02:49] :p [02:49] lol [02:49] wish i did [02:49] XDev: If this documentation (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall) is up to date, I was mistaken about there being a "Use empty space" option. I may have been thinking of the "Install Ubuntu Alongside them" option. [02:50] recursive_: and beyond that... using the "install to empty space" would not work for him anyway.. again, understand how to install/what the installer does, before you give someone advice [02:50] XDev: I recently had a problem installing dual boot with windows 7 in a machine w/ SecuROM [02:50] XDev: the instructions you were following indicate that you have to take steps to prevent that from happening. can you be more specific about which steps you have followed and what your initial config was? (ie was windows already installed?) [02:51] Perhaps I'm misunderstanding his issue then. [02:51] XDev: "that" meaning your original problem - windows bootloader ignoring ubuntu - i realize now it has been a while since you stated that [02:51] Windows was already installed. I have both tried unallocating space in windows and upon installing windows first. And then using that free space in ubuntu to install on [02:51] recursive_: you are [02:51] recursive_: it's kind of hard to understand his issue, because he doesn't have a grasp on the terminology [02:52] cough .. grub [02:52] Cyberspaceloa: not really... the bigger problem in addition to niot knowing what he wants to do, people are telling him (either through FAQ's or here) the wrong way to go about it, because of what he's already done [02:53] KM0201: Oh are you still here, I thought you were off to calmer waters ;) [02:53] Cyberspaceloa: lol, mos tht eother channels i hang out in are dead right now... [02:53] KM0201: but seriously, you sound like you know what his problem is, can you point him to an FAQ or something [02:53] XDev: did you follow the instructions regarding using gparted to partition your drive? [02:53] it just cracks me up how many people "answer" a problem here, w/o either having any grasp of what the problem actually is, or half assed reading the problem [02:54] No i have no link to a tut using gparted [02:54] Right now i am looking at (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall [02:54] Cyberspaceloa: make a long story short... he partitioned a space for an Ubuntu install, using Windows.... now, he wants to install to that space... well, the only way he can do that, is to manually configure the space he has cleared [02:54] thats why i don't understand why people keep telling him to use gparted, or to "install side by side", etc.. [02:55] Is that really true? [02:55] KM0201: people are retarded [02:55] XDev: you originally linked to this http://lifehacker.com/5403100/dual+boot-windows-7-and-ubuntu-in-perfect-harmony and there is a part regarding using gparted in that tutorial [02:55] KM0201: I see, he's trying to install Ubuntu to an NTFS partition? [02:55] yes... scroll up, that is his "problem"... which isn't really a problem, because it can be resolved in 2 seconds [02:55] more importantly, ubuntu can automatically utilize that free space [02:55] Cyberspaceloa: no [02:55] thats not what he said at all [02:55] Alright i will look back. [02:55] yeah, then I've lost the tread of it [02:55] s/tread/thread [02:55] Cyberspaceloa: well, my guess is, since ubuntu made it, it's probably ntfs.. but that doesn't mater [02:56] some dickhead has X amount of free space, and is too stupid to know how to use it [02:56] is the TLDR [02:56] lol [02:56] (reminded of Anchorman: Boy that escalated quickly!) [02:57] the filesystem of the space he cleared, is really irrelevant [02:57] is this the night shift or something [02:57] Parabola perhaps you should get out more instead of insult others that are not as experienced. This is afterall ubuntu support channel [02:57] comes with a free peanut gallery [02:57] XDev: i'm not insulting anyone [02:57] the real issue, he needs to MANUALLY SET UP THAT SPACE... and he keeps trying to use the automatic tools.. which is not going to work. [02:57] recursive_: i love lamp [02:57] Sure you are trying [02:58] and the beauty of it is, some of the "helpers" here keep telling him to use the auto tools, use gparted live cd's, etc... none of which is going to help him. [02:58] hi everyone, I just installled ubuntu on my new laptop (Vizio CT14) and it came with a "FSPPS/2 Sentellic FingerSensingPad". The touchpad is VERY finnicky and I can't right click, is there anything I can do as a newbie? [02:58] XDev: i understand you are new at this, but going forward for people to be able to help you, you are going to have to remember what steps you have taken in a tutorial [02:58] KM0201: welcome to the internet, watch your step [02:58] lol :) [02:58] metap0d: you can try lowering the sensitivity and enabling multi-touch if thats what you mean by right click [02:58] Ah I was thinking of the "Install to largest continuous free space" option. guess that doesn't exist anymore. my bad. [02:58] XDev: the real issue here is that no one can figure out what the actual issue is because you can't point to a specific part of the tutorial that didn't work. [02:59] i feel like Sgt. Hartman in Full Metal jacket when referring to priv. pyle... "I have tried to help him, but I have failed..." [02:59] metap0d: i'm not an ubuntu guy, but its in its settings somewhere, i'd assume all settings > mouse [02:59] was wondering if I had a flv video and would like to make a mp3 of it what program should I use? [02:59] gnome-shell 3 its there anyway [02:59] * KM0201 shutters at the thought of gnome 3 [02:59] shutters? [02:59] unity is horrid [02:59] XDev: we really need a question in the format of: i am trying to . i am following . i just got to the part where it said to do , but [02:59] Ok. HERE http://lifehacker.com/5403100/dual+boot-windows-7-and-ubuntu-in-perfect-harmony I have followed the tut on getting free space, then i skipped to installing and configuring. [02:59] Parabola: I'm looking under settings, there is no multi-touch option : o [03:00] hot corners dont work out of the box in unity, everything has fullscreen-itis [03:00] and that dockbar is more than useless compared to the stock gnome one [03:00] yeah, that takes getting used to... [03:00] :) [03:00] metap0d: one sec mate ill look [03:00] Hi all [03:00] metap0d: oh yeah, not on a laptop, i wont have the settings [03:00] Milamber i have said many times i am trying to dual boot windows 7 / ubuntu failed about 4 times. Now i am stuck with ubuntu ONLY right now, with a windows 7 disc try beside me [03:00] metap0d: there should be a tab under mouse settings, for touchpad [03:00] can anyone tells me how to make maven 3.0.4 run? [03:01] I had Maven 2 [03:01] What DO I NEED TO DO to dual boot windows 7 and UBUNTU [03:01] Parabola: Yeah I'm under the tab, but sadly no multi touch [03:01] um, XDev, this tutorial is for 9.10 [03:01] XDev: you need to not follow that tutorial [03:01] weather i have to reinstall windows first and then ubuntu or do it through ubuntu you tell me [03:01] Parabola: I just want to click the button on the right of the touchpad to right click, but nowhere on the touchpad seems to work [03:01] XDev: you can probably install through ubuntu. [03:01] Parabola: I have a 1/50 chance in actually getting right click to open [03:01] XDev: seriously? try googling. its pretty easy, install windows, due to its loader, then install linux [03:01] and changed it to maven 3.0.4 but the app I want to build can't start mvn [03:01] metap0d: lol [03:01] for some reason [03:01] but.. (for the umteen millionth time).. you have to do this manually [03:01] anyone? [03:01] PARABOLA I HAVE tried about 4 times [03:02] with various tuts online [03:02] you've done it wrong 4 times [03:02] lol [03:02] because i'm dual booting windows 8 and ubuntu on this machine right now [03:02] well then tell me what ive done wrong 4 times then here [03:02] lol [03:02] and i followed the first result on google [03:02] XDev: what you done wrong, was using windows to partition the space. === Justasic2 is now known as Justasic [03:02] ok what should have i done [03:02] KM? [03:02] http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2012/05/17/how-to-dual-boot-ubuntu-12-04-and-windows-7/ [03:03] XDev: well, at this point, you've already done it.... so the easiest thing, is to adapt and overcome... use the space you made under windows, but... for the 204,303,203rd time.. you have to do this manually [03:04] on a side note, WHY did google move adb out of /tools [03:04] now i have to symlink it because they didnt bother to update their eclipse plugin [03:04] : () [03:04] KM you have told me manually. So am i suppose to manually pull the tut out my ass to do it? [03:04] stop breaking shit that isnt broken [03:04] XDev: no you lazy piece of shit, you google it [03:04] the same thing you are trying to get us to do for you. dont get an atittude [03:04] this support is free [03:04] !language | XDev Parabola [03:04] XDev Parabola: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [03:04] Google what? [03:05] figure it out. [03:05] my apologies xangua [03:05] XDev: no, .. i have tried to help you, you refuse to listen.... i live byy the "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink" motto === scottas is now known as zz_scottas [03:05] Wow i am in a ubuntu support and this guy tells me to google it lazy ass, and figure it out. [03:05] What support [03:05] fire me then [03:05] KM0201: what exactly do you mean by manually [03:05] i'll refund all your money [03:05] instead, you're listening ot knuckleheads tell you to download gparted live cd's, which makes no sense, because you already have the drive partitioned [03:05] I would trust me [03:06] KM0201: I'm curious what tools you are referring to [03:06] I love symlinks [03:06] Cyberspaceloa: he has already created the space w/ Windows (if i recall, he said he split a 600gig drive in half... 300 for Windows, 300 for ubuntu) [03:06] if he starts the ubuntu installer now.. he will be given 1 of 3 options when it comes time to partiton. [03:06] 1. take over the whole drive. [03:06] KM0201: i think the saying "make it idiot proof and they'll just build a better idiot" fits in here [03:06] 2. install ubuntu side by side with Windows (and he WILL NOT be given the option to use the free space he just created) [03:06] 3. Manual [03:06] Its something else [03:07] in order to use the space he has created under Windows, he has to manually set up that partition [03:07] more importantly, if you're too daft to know what that means [03:07] i have clicked and done that 4 times now [03:07] KM0201: I see, basically the graphical configuration tool that the installer offers? [03:07] WHY are you trying to use linux? [03:07] KM0201 if by manual you mean the SOMETHING ELSE i believe option [03:07] Cyberspaceloa: affirmative.. he can't use it, because he has already partitioned the drive [03:08] XDev: hmm, it might be somethin else.. i thought it said "manually partition" or something like that.. but i usually use the text installer, so i will take your word for that [03:08] No it says something else [03:08] ok [03:08] then that is hte option you need [03:08] So this whole google manual bullshit and me taking into account that you were talking about something else [03:08] then you will have to set up your partitions manually [03:08] was all wrong [03:08] who said anything about google manual? [03:09] look back [03:09] settle down XDev, people are mean on the internet [03:09] but you're still getting help [03:09] ok, it sure as hell wasn't me.. and what did i say earlier.... "YOU'RE GETTING HORRIBLE ADVICE"... and you refused to listen [03:09] haha. [03:09] I know that but how are you going to sit in a support channel and troll on those who are trying to understand what you are talking about when indeed you are talking about something that isnt a option [03:09] or is called something else [03:09] the best part is, you list 2 of the 3 options, you tell him not to use those 2, but to use the other one [03:10] and hes too stupid to interpret that [03:10] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1253148/ what do I do to fix this? [03:10] No I obvisously know not to use the first 2 options infact i never have in all 4 attempts [03:10] XDev: again, i have offered to PM you and talk you through this.... my wording on what exactly the installer says may be wrong.. but i assure you, i have encountered your "problem" with new people trying to install approximately 80 gazillion times, and i've successfully worked around it many times [03:10] XDev is the option: "Something else: you can create or resize partitions yourself, or choose multiple partitions for Ubuntu" [03:11] YES THATS WHAT HIVE BEEN USING [03:11] was wondering if I had a flv video and would like to make a mp3 of it what program should I use? nevermind winff is working well [03:11] I've [03:11] then you're dong it wrong [03:11] O M G [03:11] XDev, settle, or I'm going to stop asking questions [03:11] oh kid the entertainment value is through the roof [03:11] lol [03:11] it's hard enough to figure out what your problem is without all the exclamations [03:11] I bet it is [03:12] his problem... is really quite simple to resolve.. yes, for a noob.. it's difficult. [03:12] km tell me then [03:12] but someone who has set up linux dual boots multiple times, this is a 30sec isssue. [03:12] KM0201: make no mistake. I'm talking about you [03:12] see how I don't really care what KM0201 is saying, XDev [03:12] Xdev, rewrite your problem, let's start from the top here. [03:12] ^Agree [03:13] * L3top just walked in... and agrees [03:13] just ignore, and work with the people who are willing to help [03:13] * milamber also agrees [03:13] even if we're "noobs" [03:13] tyler_d: i'm not entertaining anything, several of you have no idea what you're talking about... and it's like blind leading the blind [03:13] i've been willing to help. [03:14] well pro-star. let's start from the top here. [03:14] Also keep in mind... we are all volunteers... because advice is not particularly "liked" does not mean it should be ridiculed... however... again... I just entered chan. [03:14] tyler_d: i have tried to help hi8m, and he will not listen [03:14] I'll be right to bed honey, someones wrong on the internet. [03:14] okay, well, no response from XDev [03:14] I AM TRYING TO DUAL BOOT, i have about 300GB windows 300GB unallocated. And a ubuntu disc. [03:14] WHAT DO I DO to dual boot [03:14] eveyrone else, is telling him to download gparted cd's, etc.. hwihc makes no sense.. his issue is not to partitioning... he has already partitioned his drive, he needs to manually set up the free space he has made. [03:15] KM0201: He needs to be walked through it [03:15] obviously [03:15] hello every one can anyone here help me secure my reinstall [03:15] !details | xdev [03:15] xdev: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [03:15] please [03:15] XDev: what step are you on right at this moment? repost the guide you were following please [03:15] Cyberspaceloa: i have tried... again.. he just won't listen [03:15] XDev: as well what step you are on please. [03:15] the "guide" he is following, was written for 9.10 [03:15] the problem i had when i tried it myself and via tuts online was windows would boot up only and i had no option for ubuntu [03:15] XDev: does windows boot right now? [03:16] tyler_d: the tutorial he was following is outdated [03:16] ok. has anyone found one for him that is not outdated [03:16] tyler_d: it also doesn't talk about manually setting up the partitions [03:16] XDev: as i have told you, we need it in this format: we really need a question in the format of: i am trying to . i am following . i just got to the part where it said to do , but [03:16] XDev, you should boot the live installer and choose the default side by side install... it will create the appropriate partitions in the unpartitioned space, which you can resize if you wish. It should not be at all confusing once the partitioner loads from the installer. you do not have to specify anything unless you want change. [03:16] tyler_d: no one has even offered to do that, would you happen to have one in your hip pocket? [03:16] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [03:16] Cyberspaceloa: thank you! someone finally gets it (although I suspect L3top would have eventually if he could see through all this nonsense) [03:16] SIDE by side. Is this safe? [03:17] I never tried that option [03:17] XDev: will not work in your scenario [03:17] L3top, tyler_d: he already tried following a tutorial that he didn't complete [03:17] L3top: I think there's some contention that the side-by-side may not do that, and is for shrinking windows partitions [03:17] not for what you want to do anyway [03:17] XDev: do you have a full windows install disk available to you? [03:17] recursive_: it won't... it's not "some contention" it won't [03:17] which included resizing the windows partition already [03:17] Yes XDev. It will offer you a slider you can use to change partition sizes, though I expect it will simply use the free half. It should be self evident before you apply any changes... and yes it is safe. [03:18] yea with a full crack since my oem went up in the air. [03:18] KM0201: I know there used to be a "Use largest continuous free space" option in earlier releases. [03:18] XDev: you have to be specific with what you are doing or else no one will be able to help you [03:18] KM0201: Has this been rolled into the side-by-side option, or removed entirely? [03:18] L3top: agree with the last statment XDev [03:18] recursive_: these graphical tools are always changing [03:18] recursive_: yes, thats correct, but again... you're not looking at this problem he hsa created.... 1. he has already created the free space ... [03:18] milamber i have said multiple times [03:18] hi can anyone help me secure my new reinstall of ubunti 12.04 i am unsure of how to do it [03:18] if he tries tha toption you mentioned.. it will work, but it will split the other partition in half [03:18] I am sure even a dog would know what my problem is and what i am trying to do [03:19] missy_: secure it? [03:19] missy_: stay up to date with the security issue [03:19] KM0201: I am aware of that. The largest continuous free space option leveraged unpartitioned free space. It was for exactly this situation. [03:19] KM0201: harden it [03:19] Could someone take a look at this for me? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1253148/ I've no idea what it means. [03:19] KM0201: I recommend you follow tyler_d's tutorial [03:19] whoops [03:19] lol [03:19] sigh, I'm so out of it today [03:20] hey now, not my tutorial Cyberspaceloa [03:20] :p [03:20] XDev: I recommend you follow tyler_d's linked tutorial [03:20] well i had to reinstall because my ex created 3 guest accounts and i did a reinstall as some one n here told me to do he checked everything and he said reinstall and come back on here and ask fo rhelp making it as secure as possible closing ports and whatnot [03:20] link? [03:20] XDev: from the beginning [03:20] Cyberspaceloa: wasn't that tutorial based on 9.10 though? [03:20] recursive_: I have not used the side by side option from the partitioner with an empty space, but I have written in the partitioner and know how it operates... He must pay attention to the before and after graph given, and MAY have to use the "custom" option... in which case we can walk him through it. IF it tries to split the already partitioned install that could be confusing, thanks for bringing it up. [03:20] Domincii: what is that in relation to? where is that from? what were you doing and what were you running? [03:20] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [03:20] I was running WoW from terminal via Wine [03:20] that one will wokr.. follow the "manual" section [03:21] XDev: if you can fully reinstall windows, I wouldn't worry about mucking around with the partitions [03:21] fully reinstall windows? [03:21] XDev: just install everything from the very beginning using these steps, otherwise you're going to frustrate yourself [03:21] geez, that's like buying a new car because you don't want to sit for 30min and get an oil change [03:21] Domincii: I'm not familiar with WoW... nor Wine for troubleshooting it anyways. did it crash? [03:21] KM0201: It's advice that will work for him [03:21] cyberspaceloa alright [03:22] XDev: if you want to save yourself some time [03:22] Cyberspaceloa: it will delete the other partition, but the thing is... it's totally unecessary [03:22] * tyler_d just bought a new car b/c I ran out of gas [03:22] It doesnt crash per se, it runs well enough, but it freezes fairly often, making it essentially unplayable [03:22] XDev: You can follow KM0201's advice [03:22] missy_: linux in general is secure. if you want to manually check what ports are open you can use the utility nmap (you will have to install it: sudo apt-get install nmap) [03:22] XDev: in general... it is expecting that you have X amount of space on a drive, already partitioned for another install, and in the future, you do not need to create a free space... however the "custom" option, should it try and split the half which contains windows instead of dumping to the unallocated, is not that scary to use... and we can help. [03:22] Domincii: you might want to try #winehq [03:22] I am not 100% exactly what km0201s advice was. [03:22] XDev: however, you're going to need to stop being frustrated and be willing to learn some things that are complicated now but will be simple after you're done [03:22] I have done, it's a ghost town :( [03:23] thank you jesus! someone who understands the installer... 3 cheers for L3top [03:23] Domincii: lovely. where was that output from? were you running this from term? [03:23] Yeah [03:23] Domincii: what video card are you running? do you have proprietary drivers? dual monitors? [03:23] ok. i know it generally is but this guy had me locked out and had several hidden accounts in less than a week the guy on here that helped me was shocked he just said to tell who ever could help me that it is really necessary lol thank you for helping me [03:24] I'm attempting to restart samba using sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart but I get sudo: /etc/init.d/samba: command not found === cam is now known as Guest98798 [03:24] single monitor, a Radeon 7970 3gb OC, and proprietary drivers? [03:24] If you mean the video drivers then yes I've already installed those [03:24] Domincii: hate doing the google-foo thing, but have you followed the forum? fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x180ed28,0x00000000), stub!

[03:25] I'll take a look and get back to you, thanks for the help thus far [03:25] Domincii: :s no worries [03:25] missy_: did you reinstall linux? and you changed both your windows usernames/passwords and created different user names/passwords for linux when you completely reinstalled?

[03:27] at least he has a tutorial he can follow from the beginning [03:27] lol [03:27] missy_: netstat -antp | less -S [03:27] missy_: the output of nmap should give you a list of scanned ports [03:27] tyler_d: why do you refer me ? [03:28] blackshirt: wanted to ensure you saw the question posed to f00lhardy [03:28] ok now i have the ports how do i know which ones i need open [03:29] you can literally google "port number " [03:29] tyler_d: I think maybe better you told him directly [03:29] missy_: or you can post a list of the open ports to pastebin and hopefully the channel can tell you what they are [03:29] blackshirt: I did address him. you were simply tagged for clarity. ;) [03:29] ok thank you [03:29] really you should only need to open ports, if you're wanting to run some services...

[03:36] [x]: np [03:37] tyler_d: I'm using a Radeon 7970 3gb oc graphics card [03:37] ty trism [03:37] Hello all!!!! I had a question that I was having some trouble finding an answer too. I typically use the gnome-3 desktop, but have began to play around with the Unity to check it out and its customizations/APIs. One thing I cannot stand at all is the multi-workspace application spread Unity does(i.e. I'll do +, and then from there switch to one of my terminals, and it will take me to another workspace w/it on it(when I definitely didn't mo [03:37] ve it there- I'll ocassionally move something, but just temporarily and then move it back). The problem w/this lies in say when I switch to the terminal window, and its half off the be half off the top workspace, and I can't access the tool bar to move it. And getting it back on is a nightmare, lol!! I was not sure if there was a tweak/config-element that I could do to stop this from happening. I know there is an extension for gnome-3 shell. I was [03:37] n't sure if there was a lens or something for Unity [03:37] CyclicFlux: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:38] My apologies to all for the flood, it was suppose to be in two messages. [03:38] CyclicFlux: simply use Alt and click to move the window [03:38] CyclicFlux: you can press alt and click anywhere in any window to move it about. [03:39] tyler_d: ok i sent the link and i dont know which ones need to be open but i only want what needs to be and the next thing on the list that i was told to ask you guys about what how to secure the ssh? [03:39] Domincii: I honestly know very very little about ATI cards. I'm sorry, I don't even know if they use the proprietary drivers :s [03:39] tyler_d, Niiiiiiice!!!! I was using alt+spacebar and although it said move wouldn't let me. Thanks so much, it seemed like such a silly problem to have, lol!! [03:40] <[x]> usermod: no flags given [03:40] <[x]> what this mean ? [03:40] tyler_d: no problems, you've been awesome! thanks for your time! :) [03:40] missy_: you are probabaly talking about binding ssh to your local ports? you possibly would benefit from reading man sshd [03:41] missy_: that is assuming you have an ssh server installed [03:41] Domincii: no worries, sorry I couldn't help more [03:41] tyler_d:yes thats what im supposes to ask help withh exactley lol you knew what i ment lol [03:41] i have not installed anything but updates === hspencer is now known as hspencer[afk] [03:42] hi [03:42] missy_: very good, then you will not have to worry about it. the ssh port (22) will only be open and listening if you have installed openssh-server [03:42] Tyler_d: and i am sup to get rid of remmina? apparently its dafault and he said to tell you about that to [03:42] [x]: what are you trying to do ? [03:42] this is first time to use this chat [03:43] I am so glad to use it and talk with the people [03:43] <[x]> blackshirt, i need one more admin account\ [03:44] missy_: you may simply want to dissable remmina from starting up as a service [03:44] missy_: is that correct? [03:44] [x]: you can add a normal user, and give it a sudo access [03:44] I use this chat to share information regarding ubuntu [03:44] Tyler_d:do you think any of the ports need closing i dont remeber if you told me to or not to be honest? [03:44] <[x]> how to give access ? blackshirt [03:45] <[x]> sudo access mean root access ? [03:45] [x]: exactly, the sudoers acces .. [03:45] Tyler_d: i want to completley delete that. i am typeing what i was told on the print out of convo man your patient with me thankyou [03:45] missy_: if this is a default installation with the security updates applied, I would say you are good. [03:45] <[x]> oh how to do it in terminal ? [03:46] [x]: user with sudo capability, that's depend on your sudoers configuration [03:46] <[x]> i add user by "adduser" [03:46] [x]: yes, and then add it with sudo adduser someuser sudo [03:46] <[x]> sudo what this actually mean ? [03:46] tyler_d: how do i delete the guest account [03:47] [x]: that's would add someuser to sudo group [03:47] <[x]> "sudo adduser nick" ? [03:47] [x]: $sudo adduser nick sudo [03:47] missy_: start a terminal ( ctrl-alt-t) and type `sudo apt-get remove remmina` [03:47] tyler_d: oh and were do i get the security pack thing from [03:47] sudo is command using in terminal but I don't know what does it mean ? [03:47] <[x]> okk blackshirt [03:47] any way [03:47] I have problem if some one can help me [03:47] missy_: that is from that generic updates. if you just installed, an icon would have appeared up by the time indicating there were updates available [03:48] ahmedipa: more detail [03:48] !ask | ahmedipa [03:48] ahmedipa: 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).

[03:49] nfs? ext4? ? [03:49] How might I check which graphics driver my 12.04 Laptop is using? [03:49] missy_: he has a certain hint of truth within that sarcasm though. [03:50] f00lhardy: who is accessing it other than yourself? being a NAS and all [03:50] I am trying to create a start-up USB. I am in ubuntu using cd-creator. I recognizes my iso and USB drive, when I click start I get: [03:50] a permission error [03:50] any thoughts [03:51] bjrohan: make sure the drive doesn't have any sort of write-lock on it [03:51] i mean like when connecting two computers and what not how do i make it so no one can see it. lol i know thats y its so funny its endearing [03:51] just myself [03:51] on my home network tyler_d [03:52] That makes sense hmmwhatsthisdo [03:52] using windows machines [03:52] missy_: you cannot realistically do this... you would not have to worry about that? moreover why would you worry about that? [03:52] <[x]> blackshirt, it doesnt appear like root account [03:52] f00lhardy: you would want to stick with something windows will recognize then. like ntfs [03:53] According to a compatibility chart I require Catalyst 12-1 for full support of my graphics card, is that doable in Ubuntu [03:53] [x]: yes, that was not root account [03:53] tyler_d thanks [03:53] <[x]> is root account different from admin? [03:53] f00lhardy: no worries, good luck [03:53] <[x]> ohhh [03:53] [x]: indeed it is. [03:53] [x]: usually yes :D [03:53] <[x]> then how to add root account :| [03:54] <[x]> create another root account ? [03:54] Domincii, there is catalyst 12.4 in precises repositories [03:54] [x]: that's bad [03:54] [x]: why are you creating another root account.... [03:54] !root | [x] [03:54] [x]: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [03:54] All of my apps are locked to the top left of my screen, I can't get to any menus :-( [03:54] <[x]> many irc ban root account ?

Yellowzinha [04:13] from site [04:13] download [04:13] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1253216/ [04:13] I hope if anyone talk to me to type my name [04:13] No before i would make it through install and when it said to restart i would restart and nothign came up it would just boot into windows like normal [04:14] as if ubuntu was never there or installed [04:14] Yellowzinha: which site be more specefic.. always.... [04:14] !livecd | ahmedipa [04:14] why i install downverter and start it..it won't run [04:14] ahmedipa: The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. [04:14] baixaki.com [04:14] it is from Brazil [04:14] if you haven't already...boot into window 7...download and install " easybcd"...launch it, select " add boot entry" select the " linux bsd" tab...start with the " legacy" version first...make sure you click SAVE at bottom right of that window. then restart your pc ONLY after making sure you still have a count down timer on which O.S. you can select to start upon start up [04:15] ubottu : I do not have any cd just ( USB ) [04:15] ahmedipa: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:15] i recorede the .ISO image [04:15] not sure get the official iso Yellowzinha you can always change language while install [04:15] ubottu : thank you for your try [04:15] ahmedipa: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:15] ok so inorder to dual boot [04:15] i click on "something else" [04:15] and create a partition in ubuntu install thing [04:15] ? [04:15] I am trying to install Xubuntu on my desktop from a USB stick. But when I try to start the installer or select "Try Xubuntu" all I get is this: http://hoel.us/photo.JPG , any ideas on what might be wrong? [04:15] first I wanna install [04:15] and install to that [04:15] :( === Justasic2 is now known as Justasic [04:16] but I dont know [04:16] Yellowzinha: you have usb stick? [04:16] !partition | XDEV [04:16] XDEV: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PartitioningSchemes l - For partitioning programs see !GParted, or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [04:16] yeah but it is full [04:16] XDEV: Before you do that, please run boot info script and pastebin the RESULTS.txt so that we can see your current state. [04:16] XDEV: i really think it would be worth your time at this point to give that a read [04:16] !bootinfo | XDEV [04:16] normally YES... that way your windows master boot record won't be overwritten and you won't have to go through a possible windows cmd repair crap of fixing windows mbr [04:16] XDEV: Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). [04:16] you need to back it up and use it Yellowzinha [04:17] I AM ON THE ubuntu install disc atm [04:17] why i cant use the cd? [04:17] ok so you haven't installed ubuntu yet? xved [04:17] to my understanding cant i create a partition within ubuntu disc from unallocated disc space from before? and use that [04:17] xdev..jesus.. sorry.im trigger happy on mispelling [04:17] may be its broken and not official thats why Yellowzinha [04:18] :( [04:18] ok [04:18] i will try again === theplanet is now known as planet [04:18] I fell that I lose the focus [04:18] XDEV chrono its hard to see replies [04:18] yes. normally..now i have also encountered a " could not install grub please choose another device" error when i did it that way..but that was ONLY after i installed around 10 different versions back to back to back..on same ssd's partition for the linux distro.. [04:18] thanks [04:18] in public chat [04:18] always get the os official you dont have to pay any how... Yellowzinha [04:18] ok private message you then [04:19] XDEV: I doubt that will help in any way. Please follow my directions. [04:19] can u tell me the site? [04:19] official [04:19] why wouldnt what i said before work? [04:19] jordan? [04:19] ahmedipa: you haven't responded to my question about the livecd [04:19] I dont want to go back into windows [04:19] intell i install ubuntu [04:19] XDEV: Most likely for exactly the same reason that the initial Ubuntu installation didn't work. [04:19] OMg [04:19] so what should i do? [04:20] hi i have ubuntu 12.04 i disabled my guest account per ubuntu instructions and after the last command sudo restrt lightdm my computer had me log in and then i couldnt do anything and so i did a hard restart and all my programs have errors and i restarted and now still have the same problems...any ideas? [04:20] milamber : I don't have CD for windows or ubuntu [04:20] I apologize i was under the assumption you wanted to dual boot win 7 and ubuntu [04:20] XDEV: That's why I'd like to see what state your system is in after a normal, automated Ubuntu installation. [04:20] which is the official website? [04:20] jordan what do you mean after a normal automated ubuntu installation? [04:20] Ubuntu Software Center has a large area at the top that shows pictures of programs and cycles through. How do I turn these off, or at least disable automatic cycling? [04:20] milamber : just I have USB [04:20] to download [04:21] Im only installing ubuntu once i have windows on another partition and do not want to reinstall windows [04:21] ???? [04:21] XDEV: Using the "Install Side By Side" option rather than the "Something else" option. [04:21] ok [04:21] and once i do that [04:21] then what [04:21] yeas...Jordan ..that is an easy way to do it..but you RISK completely losing your windows mbr..I speak from experience on this [04:21] choose manual partion and install it [04:21] ahmedipa: here is the link to the grub2 troubleshooting guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Troubleshooting [04:21] XDEV: Then run boot info script and pastebin the RESULTS.txt that it produces. [04:22] ahmedipa: it specifically addresses your situation [04:22] <[x]> #backtrack-linux :Cannot send to channel y this happening ? [04:22] y [04:22] that's why " something else " is the better way to go..you can manually create and edit those partition to safely install the /boot for ubuntu in another partition that way it DOESN'T touch windows mbr incase Xdev needs to access windows for any reason [04:22] jordan- I how exactly do i run a boot info script? [04:22] [x]: why are you running backtrack? [04:22] I used installed side by side ( windows and ubuntu ) in the same root I got this problem [04:22] XDEV: Follow the directions from the link that ubottu sent you. [04:22] !backtrack [04:22] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [04:22] error : unknown filesystem grub rescue [04:23] EXACTLY...ahmedipa..JUST proved my point [04:23] <[x]> tyler_d, it only runs faster in vmware [04:23] milamber : thank you so much for this link [04:23] chrono if i do it that way can you explain or tell me what exactly i do when im in something else so i do it right [04:23] yes..absolutely [04:23] [x]: ok [04:23] chronofusion1980: It's easy to restore a Microsoft Style MBR. Installing any OS, however you do it, involves some risk. IMHO, using the "Side by side" option of Ubuntu's installer is the least risky way to dual boot, especially for newer users. [04:24] <[x]> rock is you able to join backtrack-linux channel ? [04:24] milamber : I will try to understand and follow the instructions [04:25] ok like right now im in something else and i dont even know what partition or SDA is windows [04:25] Cause it seems all backwards. [04:25] I have sda1 nfts - 104mb-35mb used / sda2 230581 [04:25] lol..ok Jordan..sure..go ahead..install side by side....problem is..the UBUNTU mbr completely TAKES OVER..the windows mbr..thus..if you decide for whatever reason you don't wnat to boot into ubuntu anymore and just want windows..and you delete the partition that had ubuntu..or uninstall it even through wubi...YOU LOSE the windows access also because " side by side" option OVERWRITES the windows mbr...without windows mbr..yo [04:25] u CAN'T boot into windows..it's that simple [04:26] ok Xdev...do you see anything that says " free space" [04:26] yes [04:26] wait no [04:26] i see unknown [04:26] XDEV: Before you do anything else please wait. I would like to figure out what your current state is.

[04:29] ahmedipa: if you come across any instructions that you are unsure about you can ask specific questions [04:29] this url is where i got the info i needed to SAFELY install Xubuntu 12.04 ( which is just the same as ubuntu 12.04 ) in a separate partition it explains the entire process..now again.. your choice. I'm not nagging you Xdev. I'm just trying to help you guarantee that INCASE you wish to need to access windows and there are any deletion mistakes you won't have to go through windows cmd repair to repair your windows mbr [04:29] http://lifehacker.com/5403100/dual+boot-windows-7-and-ubuntu-in-perfect-harmony [04:29] dude thats the exact one i did l [04:29] before lol [04:30] XDEV: just pay attention to Jordan_U, he really knows what he is doing with grub2 and dual-booting [04:30] XDEV: also, be patient [04:30] http://pastebin.com/XYaZc9xg [04:30] i cant figure out why my card reader wont work [04:30] now usb flash dont eaither [04:31] but chrono said that would mess up my windows [04:31] no i said.it COULD overwrite your windows master boot record..not the operating system install... that's all..but hey..like they said..what do i know [04:32] I only did the EXACT same thing as " install side by side along side windows" and had to go through win 7 disc cmd repair with bootrec.exe crap just to get my win mbr back...enjoy [04:33] but either way..you learn from experience..whether the easy way..or the hard way [04:33] lol [04:33] FUCK OBAMA [04:34] ftr...if you still have your win 7 disc or a recovery disc you created from it...it's " bootrec.exe /fixmbr " AFTER " bootsect /nt60 c:\ " then bootsect /nt60 SYS " THEN bootsect /nt60 ALL" of course pressing enter between each of those commands [04:34] lol, well, i can't say i don't agree.. but this ain't the place for it [04:34] Aristotle...yeah..i dont blame you..but it's Screw Barry Soetoro [04:34] I call him by his real name [04:34] but that's another channel..no coherent here [04:35] XDEV: The correct place for grub's boot sector is in the MBR, that is the opinion of the GRUB developers, the Ubuntu developers, the Fedora developers, and pretty much every set of experts that has actually had to make important technical decisions about this. If you would like the resons for this I can give them, but I am rather busy at the moment. [04:35] * wilee-nilee thinks the ignore option is the best thing since sliced bread. [04:35] Jordan_U and Milamber : I tried to type sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair [04:35] the result is [04:35] So you are telling me i should just use the side by side option? [04:35] yeah sure.Jordan.the problem is " and even Nixie pixel of her youtube channel will tell you FROM experience...grub and windows mbr DON'T play well together in the same parittion...thus the reason why i suggest " something else" and creating the partitions there [04:35] and not create a new partition from unsused space in something else [04:36] 1st partition /boot 1 gig size Primary logical [04:36] XDEV: Yes. [04:36] The program 'grub' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [04:36] sudo apt-get install grub [04:36] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ find/boot/grub/stage1 [04:36] bash: find/boot/grub/stage1: No such file or directory [04:36] chrono [04:36] 2nd / ( which is your root partition where programs are installed ) at any size between 2 or more gigs and up [04:37] 3rd /home partition ( where stuff is downloaded) [04:37] 4th swap file page area around 4 gigs is enough [04:37] how would i even create new partition for ubuntu under something else the "Add button is not selectable] [04:37] ahmedipa: you have grub2 [04:37] Anyone seen this screen before : http://hoel.us/photo.JPG ?. I get it when I am trying to boot xubuntu from a USB stick or when I am trying to install from the same USB stick. [04:37] ahmedipa: you should be following the one for grub2 [04:38] milamber: I think I have to install it [04:38] no i never said " side by side " option..but like i said..you decide how you want to do this....both will get you want you want..but my way better guarantees a failsafe without going through windows cmd repair option to repair it's mbr incase anything happens [04:38] or the new partition table button but it say " you have selected an antire device to partition if you proceed with creating new partition on the device all current partitions wil lbe removed [04:38] Thyem: try the alternate cd [04:38] !nomodeset | Thyem [04:38] Thyem: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [04:38] milamber : so I installed it [04:38] like updating your grub from legacy to grub 2 for example [04:38] thanks [04:39] ahmedipa: grub is the earlier version of the ubuntu boot-loader [04:39] chrono im talking about the somethign else option how would i go about creating ubuntu partition [04:39] ? [04:39] from unallocated space [04:39] your version of ubuntu uses grub1 [04:39] chronofusion1980: Your solution is not guaranteed safe. It avoids one possible failure point, but in its place introduces many others (which are more common, and some which are harder to recover from). [04:39] ahmedipa: you have to restore grub2 [04:40] Sure jordan..whatever you say [04:40] chrono [04:40] ? [04:40] milamber: how to restore it ? [04:40] .. [04:41] tell you what..Xdev..follow jordan's instructions...I work the late evening/night shift i'm off tonight and tomorrow so i'll be up til 4 p.m. central time and online here incase you need me.... i'm going back to ripping my movie collection using handbrake.. [04:41] I can install BigblueButton on Ubuntu 12.04 .? [04:41] Hey all I have a dual boot system with ubuntu on the 2nd partition and a data partition (I think that's what it is called). I have backed up my home dir, run the iso from a thumb drive, now I want to install 12.10 beta 2 over top of my current ubuntu 12.04. How do I do this? [04:41] ok create im in central time also [04:41] XDEV: Unfortunately I have no more time. If you come back tomorrow with the results from boot info script that I asked for I may be able to help you then. Good luck. [04:41] I'm tired Jordan's pointless bs...I speak from " learning the hard way" experience.. [04:41] I'll be back on here in a few hours [04:41] -_- [04:42] jordan can you just help [04:42] ? [04:42] Ill try your way [04:42] brohan: easiest way, is to boot the install disk, then target the partition you want to install, then just set it up manually.. i've done it a lot. [04:42] why is it taking so long to install ubuntu? [04:43] XDEV: At some point you ran the Ubuntu installer and chose the "Side by Side" option, correct? [04:43] did it fail? [04:43] ahmedipa: after you installed it, did you try re-running the command? [04:43] no it actually was Alongside windows 7 [04:43] thats what it says [04:43] KM0201 so of the options to install choose manual then it will ask me what to do specifically? [04:43] milamber: yes [04:43] there was no side by side option [04:44] I was afraid to select that as I thought it would go awry [04:44] brohan: no, you choose manual, then you will do what you want [04:44] im assuming that is it just different name [04:44] Thanks! [04:44] XDEV: Ok, that's the option I'm thinking of (I just miremembered the exact wording). [04:44] XDEV: Have you done any partitioning since then? [04:44] ahmedipa: then what happened [04:44] milamber: I am in these steps https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [04:44] no i am on the next screen after i clicked. [04:44] It says allocate drive space [04:44] and shows 2 boxes one with 212.3GB and another with 197.2GB [04:44] milamber: boot repair [04:45] ok? === qos is now known as qos|away [04:46] ahmedipa: so are you dowloading and installing it to a live cd? [04:46] milamber: as I see " Boot successfully repaired. [04:46] Please write on a paper the following URL: [04:46] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1253241/ [04:46] In case you still experience boot problem, indicate this URL to: [04:46] boot.repair@gmail.com or to your favorite support forum. [04:46] You can now reboot your computer. [04:46] " [04:46] ahmedipa: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:46] Ben64, How long is so long, and did you click the update on install, and what is your net speed? [04:46] XDEV: Right now I'm asking about the last time you tried to install Ubuntu. If I understand correctly you used the "Alongside Windows 7" option, the installer completed with no errors, but when you booted again it just booted into Windows with no option for Ubuntu. Is that correct? [04:47] no last time was before and i used the somethign else option [04:47] I since WIPED whole harddrive of both / all operating systems and reinstalled windows and now ubuntu [04:47] jesus.. [04:48] XDEV: OK, then use the "Alongside Windows 7" option and hopefully it will just work. If it doesn't, or if you have any more questions, then ping me (by sending a message in this channel containing my nick). [04:48] <[x]> dual boot made me to reboot my system 10 times :( so i cling to virtual machines [04:48] ahmedipa: so you were triple booting 7,xp, and ubuntu? [04:49] i dont understand why its so complicated on my laptop i dualbotted on my desktop and everything worked the first time. [04:49] ahmedipa: that was the boot-info, which provides good information. did you try the boot-repair? [04:49] milamber: I think every thing ok after this message. [04:49] <[x]> basic drive , dynamic drive , logical drives :S i come to know all these stuffs [04:50] XDEV: it's not complicated [04:50] ahmedipa: I would recommend doing a normal dual boot install, rather than using Wubi. [04:50] ahmedipa: ok, you got grub back? [04:50] Hi, i have a powerpc architecture with G4 i think and cannot get gui login working. Always when i try to start X normally it hangs and i need to power off. Maybe another installion is more useful. Is there any guide to check the lost+found folder ? Thanks [04:50] the "beside windows" is not going to work. [04:50] KM0201. It is if you tried 4 times [04:50] if his problem is the same as it was before, he has already created the partition under Windows. [04:50] milamber: I think I have to restart computer to know if the problem solved or not [04:51] milamber: regarding to booting windows 7 [04:51] ahmedipa: listen to Jordan_U [04:51] milamber: yes I have windows 7 and ubuntu [04:52] km i am already installing ubuntu via the side by side [04:52] what jordan told me [04:52] milamber: in the same root ( same drive) that is caused the problem [04:52] ok [04:52] so whats the problem now? [04:53] mailmber: I will try to restart to see the result thank you so much [04:53] the problem will be if it doesnt work "what you say will happen" [04:53] my guess is, you're going to have about 200gigs of space not being used. [04:53] ANd that I believe it took space from the Windows partition and not unallocated [04:53] XDEV: BINGO... that's what i've been trying to tell you [04:53] so now i have random unallocated 400GB space and only about 170GB windows [04:54] ahmedipa, If you get no help here make a thread at the ubuntu forums, there is a daily user there that is a knowledgeable with wubi, put wubi in the thread header [04:54] XDEV: yup... thats what i wsas trying to tell you earlier [04:54] and have a up to date bootscript posted [04:56] 200 gigs of unused space! [04:56] XDEV: Sorry if that is the case. It's fairly easy to expand the partition to use all the available space though. [04:57] Cyberspaceloa: yes, because... AGAIN.. he chose the side by side option, when he needed to choose the manual option (because he partitiooned his drive under windows) [04:57] Jordan_U: yeah, but that's gonna create one jacked up partition table [04:57] KM0201: I had no idea the current dual booting option was so wasteful. I haven't dual booted in a long time [04:57] KM0201: How so? [04:57] I use a VM for windows [04:57] I'm only familiar with it because i've helped so many with it. [04:58] Jordan_U: it's gonna look something like this... Windows-- 100gigs Ubuntu---100gigs unallocated--400gigs [04:58] (i think he said he had 600gigs) [04:58] some of my hds wont mount an neither with usb flash or sd cards [04:58] what could be going on [04:59] i only have windows on my laptop... i haven't booted it in so long, i think i forgot my password to log in [04:59] Joebeezy10, Could you state that more clearly [05:00] with=will Joebeezy10 [05:00] Jordan_U: when in reality, what he wanted... was 250 gigs windows, 250gigs, ubuntu [05:00] i am getting this error: Maximum number of clients reached - how do i figure out what is causing it? [05:00] well at first i tried mounting my 16GB sd card and it wouldnt mount and now some of my hard drives dont mount eaither internal hard drives [05:00] KM0201: Indeed. [05:00] and also my usb flash drives wont mount [05:01] i tried to tell him that for two hours, but he was off in his own little world [05:01] Joebeezy10, This from plugging them in or running a mount in the cli, and are any in fstab? [05:01] Joebeezy10: how are you trying to mount them? [05:02] KM0201: If that is the case, can you help him get things done properly (with grub's boot sector in the MBR as it should be)? I really need to leave soon but I hate leaving someone in a bad state, especially when it's partially my fault for recommending the "Alongside" option. [05:02] Jordan_U: i have tried, repeatedly [05:02] he just won't listen... [05:03] KM0201, Jordan_U: it would seem that there is something going on with the bootloader more than the partition [05:03] a while ago, dumbasses had him downloading gparted live cd's, etc.. which makes no sense.. his issue wasn't his partitioning, it was getting ubuntu onto the partitions the way he wanted [05:03] KM0201: Well, after this at least they should have a system which boots both Windows and Ubuntu, which is some progress. [05:03] Jordan_U: probably...lol [05:03] milamber: possibly.. we'll see afer he finishes this [05:03] even if he selected the alongside option the bootloader should have picked up the two "boot-able" partitions [05:03] milamber: but regardless, it's not going to be setup how he wants it, so it doesn't matter [05:03] <[TiZ]> Hi. Is there any way to get some sort of unique identifier for a joystick given its block device (e.g. /dev/input/js0)? [05:03] This has been going on for quite some time Jordan_U. I had to walk away due to project issues... and the user was particularly insensed by KM0201's advice... I would understand if he wasn't very motivated to continue... but I am happy to help now that my fires are out. [05:04] KM0201: Please don't use epithets to describe people in this channel. [05:04] Jordan_U: i guess you just hadd to be here..lol [05:05] * wilee-nilee thinks he needs to learn like the rest of us from the school of hard knocks. [05:05] L3top: if i understand correctly, he's actually installing now.. but what he's going to end up with now.,... is 100gigs windows, 100gigs ubuntu, 300gigs unallocated. [05:05] in reality, he just wanted 250gigs windows, 250gigs ubuntu [05:05] KM0201: How long has the automated tool been wonky like this, out of curiosity [05:06] Seems so KM0201... which is why it was suggested he actually look at the sizing before taking that option, and probably having to do the manual partitioning option. [05:06] seems like a big problem [05:06] KM0201: if what he was saying earlier was true, he's installed several times, but the bootloader never finds the partition. which is why i keep asking him to specify exactly what he is doing and why he is doing it. but that doesn't seem to be happening [05:06] Cyberspaceloa: like i said, 90% of the time, i use the alternate install cd... but i've helped so many people w/ the live cd.. honestlyh, its been that way as long as i can remember [05:06] L3top: XDEV is definitely a clickthrough-without-examining-the-details sort [05:07] KM0201: I think the last time I dual booted was with 8.04 and XP [05:07] I don't remember having any problems like that, although I could be misremembering [05:07] well, i guess he can always reinstall windows again (that was the brilliant advice he got earlier) [05:07] it's all about how he's partitioning [05:08] KM0201: Yeah, that was my brilliant advice, except I had no idea the automated tools regularly amputated large chunks of the drive [05:08] Hi there. Sorry for my bad english in advance. I'd like to know if anyone know a tip to reduce the minimal brightness of a laptop screen (eeepc). I'm already using f.lux or redshift the night, but it's not enough, my eyes are still bleeding. [05:09] Cyberspaceloa: yeah, i know,. :)... see, the thing is... if he hadn't partitioned the drive under Windows... he could do exactly what you said.. choose the "side by side" option, and off he'd be.. when he created hte unallocated partition under windows, thats what throws the wrench in things. [05:09] Cyberspaceloa: chances are you hadn't already tried to create an empty space. The option works marvelously if you have a standard windows install (whole disk), but the assumption is that this is the case. If you went ahead and adjusted the partitions, it assumes you do not need this (very time consuming) option. [05:09] KM0201: reinstalling windows isn't *necessarily* bad advice when dealing with inexperienced people. reinstalling windows to use the whole disk thereby returning it to initial state should have allowed him to use the side by side option w/o any of the issues that we are facing now [05:09] it will not automatically go onto that unallocated partition because.... (drumroll) it's unallocated [05:09] milamber: it would have, if he hadn't done the exact same thing again (partition under windows) [05:09] L3top: I see. And XDev has been randomly leaving his drive unpartitioned [05:10] Why would the installer not default to the unallocated space? Seems to be the best option [05:10] Thyem: because thats not what the installer does (not the generic one anyway. [05:10] Thyem: that's the question of the day, apparently [05:10] Thyem: it never has [05:10] Well... it has a partition... he used the Disk Management or partition magic or something to shrink his windows install, and then as it cannot create ext(etc) partitions... left it unallocated === carlos is now known as Guest44189 [05:10] XDev's problem is that he's not going to listen to anyone long enough to get the hang of simple manual partitioning [05:11] we need a single help page devoted entirely to manual partitioning [05:11] Not really up to speed on how toe installer does the partition stuff, but what does it do instead? Split the partition that is already there? [05:11] the* [05:11] Cyberspaceloa: no.. he's had numerous people offering to help him do this (the right way)... and instead he wanted to download a gparted cd and reinstall windows...lol (neither of which really does anything in this situation) [05:11] Thyem: affirmative [05:11] yes Thyem [05:12] !partitioning | Cyberspaceloa [05:12] Cyberspaceloa: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/i386/partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [05:12] Cyberspaceloa: the trick is getting people to read. top to bottom, left to right, tylenol for any headaches . . . [05:12] !package miracl [05:12] unallocated... it's essentially "not there" to the installer.... so it finds the ntfs partition, knows its "there" and splits it. [05:13] Thats awesome if there is no unallocated space, not so awesome if there is. But isnt the partition tool fairly visual if you skip the auto stuff? [05:13] milamber: yes. I can see why some of the people in here are so snippy sometimes [05:13] Thyem: exactly... and when he's partitioning and making unallocated space under windows... he is where he is. [05:13] The option exists, pretty much, to resize windows/other add default linux partitions and do grub stuffs... [05:13] i tried explaining this repeatedly earlier, but people kept telling me "he just needed to install side by side" [05:13] Thyem: if you just looked at the displayed size, it would be self-evident. [05:13] i am getting this error: Maximum number of clients reached - how do i figure out what is causing it? anyone? [05:13] Guess he will be back later asking more questions and ignoring adive then ;) [05:14] lol [05:14] advice* [05:14] earlier was a cluster-eff, KM0201 [05:14] I couldn't follow it at all [05:14] lol === lanli is now known as microcosm [05:14] Cyberspaceloa: the worst thing about a channel like this, when someone has a problem that several people are trying to solve... you have a person who rather than following 1 persons advice, they are trying to follow the advice of 5-6 people, who probably all have a different way of solving the problem, and the solutions may well be counteracting with each other [05:15] your best bet, is win lose or draw, listen to one person.... [05:15] KM0201: that's how I usually do it [05:15] Cyberspaceloa: yep, then if they are wrong, at least you know who to get mad out..lol [05:15] Unity will not install on my system is there some kind of work around [05:15] also, fully reinstalling everything would have worked if he had just refrained from manually partitioning windows [05:16] Sidney__: you should consider yourself blessed. [05:16] lol [05:16] and then auto partitioning ubuntu... [05:16] Sidney__: Will need more information. [05:16] Cyberspaceloa: absolutely. [05:16] but the problem is, he seemed hung up on partitioning under Windows (for some reason.. he kept saying "that's what he done last time".. so i guess thats why) [05:16] phr3d13: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1410022 [05:16] so i knew when he reinstalled winddows [05:16] KM0201: they say a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing [05:17] he was going to immediately just do the same thing over agian [05:17] KM0201: the frustrating part for me is when you ask for the details and people just keep repeating the goal [05:17] milamber: yes, that's exactly what he was doing [05:17] well, I need to code for a bit, but I'll try and lurk [05:17] maybe we can coax him to listen to KM0201 [05:17] Cyberspaceloa: the thing is, now he's going to have 100gigs 7, 100gigs ubuntu, and 300gigs unallocated (roughly) [05:17] oh no you don't [05:18] i tried.. repeatedly [05:18] Sidney__, Can you give some background, what is the release, and what desktop is there now and how are you trying to install unity?

Nite yall === witakr is now known as witakr|NiteNite [07:22] Am i able to use intel quicksync in combination with a windows machine running on KVM? [07:22] can anyone point me to a comprehensive guide on how to install themes? I am completely overwhelmed by the number of different pieces that have to be manually managede to get your system even looking uniform with a new theme [07:22] *managed [07:24] or if someone can point me to a good PPA installer for a theme that has gtk3, cinnamon, icons, and anything else that could be involved. [07:26] hello [07:26] hi [07:26] WACOMalt, launchpad has a ppa search page. if by cinnamon you mean the MINT related DE, then have a look there for it. Keep in mind PPA are completely at your own risk and not supported at all [07:26] i am in a big mess can someone help [07:26] shellAx, ask the channel and see [07:26] an hour ago the power went off and suddenly my pc crashed] [07:26] now when i switch on the computer [07:26] select ubuntu from grub [07:26] it takes me to a weird sh [07:27] shellAx, on ONE line [07:27] that says initramfs [07:27] i am so scared :S [07:27] bazhang, awesome, thanks. I do mean cinnamon, the DE (what's DE?), but yeah the one in Mint. [07:27] !enter | shellAx [07:27] shellAx: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [07:27] I cant stand unity, so I switched [07:27] i am on a small notebook right now where its hard to type and the power wont be long as i cant find the charge, please help [07:28] shellAx: come back on a different computer when you have a stable connection. We don't do well under self-inflicted pressure [07:28] ok i am sorry, please i dont have another computer. i'll be patient can you help me please [07:29] O_o why am I getting random glitchy black and white text across my screen every few seconds... [07:29] feckin NVidia I assume... [07:29] Am i able to use intel quicksync in combination with a windows machine running on KVM? [07:30] can someone help me? dualboot problem here, i dont know if i formatted my Windows partition with Ubuntu or not, i HOPE its still there, because i cant boot into my Windows [07:30] anyone? [07:31] shellAx: did you have a completed ubuntu installation? [07:31] Quick Sync is not currently supported on Linux. Eagleman [07:31] cfhowlett: yes, for like 1.5yr or so [07:31] shellAx: so this was 12.04? [07:32] it was fine i was working and the power went off, ups couldnt sustain and it switched off now when i boot i have the initramfs prompt, it is work hours and i got important data too [07:32] 11.10 [07:32] Martell: boot a live ubuntu cd and look at the partitions. [07:32] bleh. Why are themes still such an impossible feat on Linux. Or maybe it's just me :/ [07:32] Martell, what does sudo fdisk -l say <-------- paste.ubuntu.com [07:32] cfhowlett: and then ? [07:32] shellAx: ah. Soon to be End of life. VERY soon. maybe upgrade? [07:32] i am no ubuntu guru, not sure which are partitions but maybe i can manage [07:33] quick question: Where do you guys keep your application folders when you download them? eg, I downloaded sublime text, and unzipped it to /opt then created a sym link to /usr/bin/sublime so it would be on my path. Is that a typical way to handle that? [07:33] cfhowlett : dont work, ive tried it [07:33] i will upgrade if i can boot it in first place :S [07:33] shellAx: I'd start with reinstalling grub to see if that'll work. [07:33] jafaraf, not at all [07:33] shellAx: you'll need a live ubuntu CD [07:33] cfhowlett: how would i go about doing that ? [07:33] jafaraf, install from the package manager and the software repositories [07:33] ok, my friend is getting it in few mins [07:33] shellAx: boot from an ubuntu CD and ... [07:33] after that what should i do exactly ? [07:33] !grub|shellAx: [07:33] shellAx:: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [07:34] Martell: wait, tried to upgrade? [07:34] cfhowlett: upgrade what? [07:34] Thanks bazhang. I wanted to try to do it manually as kind of a practice. Since I'm sure I'll encounter some software I won't find on the repos. What would you do if I couldn't get it from the package manager? [07:35] Martell: never mind. [07:35] jafaraf, like what for instance. it's hard to imagine the repos not having it [07:35] Am i able to use intel quicksync in combination with a windows machine running on KVM? [07:35] Martell, sudo fdisk -l output to paste.ubuntu.com [07:35] cfhowlett: using the live cd is there someway to maybe first get into 11.10 and then upgrade to 12.10 ? [07:35] How can I remove certain boot options in grub? [07:35] Eagleman, I just answered that === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [07:36] shellAx: nope. [07:36] bazhang yes you did for linux, i was talking about windows in kvm [07:36] bustacap, like what [07:36] Eagleman, ask in ##windows [07:36] It is linux related [07:36] bazhang, just some recovery options, I don't want them enabled unless I need to use them. [07:36] Good questions. I can't say. I guess I was curious more than anything else since I have the option of downloading it from the site. What happens when I use the package manger? Where do all those files end up? It depends, I would imagine? [07:36] so i need a 12.10 live cd only ? [07:36] Eagleman, and I answered that portion [07:36] shellAx: fyi, you can directly upgrade from LTS to LTS i.e. 10.04 to 12.04. Unless you seriously NEED 12.10, I'd strongly urge you to consider an LTS only policy. Fewer headaches. [07:37] hi friend i tried with option given by u and still not able to open that wwe game it is a protable .exe game [07:37] cfhowlett: can i do from 11.10 to 12.04 ? [07:37] and when i m runing it its asking for directx pluginss [07:37] shellAx: yep [07:37] aneek147, be patient in #winehq thats where to ask after checking the appdb [07:37] great [07:37] let me get the cd quick [07:37] what a mess day :( [07:38] shellAx: but might be better to just clean install 12.04 rather than upgrade [07:38] okk bazhang [07:38] sladen: [FAILED] [07:38] ZorgHCS: [FAILED] [07:38] Zethrok: [FAILED] [07:38] Taylor: [FAILED] [07:38] exicer: [FAILED] [07:38] `Nano_: [FAILED] [07:38] mathfreak: [FAILED] [07:38] pr0ton: [FAILED] [07:38] shantorn__: [FAILED] [07:38] Japex: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[07:39] Martell: alright [07:40] yeah bazhang [07:40] it is not avialble in appdb [07:40] aneek147, and what did it say?

[11:18] colin_, first check if "network boot" is an option on your machine, if it is, it will work [11:18] it is [11:19] colin_: try this one: http://www.pauljoyceuk.com/codex/2012/installing-ubuntu-from-usb-fdd/ [11:19] @nibbler it doesn't seem so ( or are these 3rd-party deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security main restricted [11:19] deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security main restricted [11:19] deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security universe [11:19] deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security universe [11:19] deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security multiverse [11:19] danilo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:19] deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security multiverse [11:19] scatterp: either write the driver yourself, or wait until someone does it for you :) [11:19] colin_, good ;-) its basically: configure a dhcp server to provide the right extra options, set up an tftp server to supply the install image, all you need is found on the minimal netboot iso if i'm right - for that reason there might be some extra work necessary in the end (like "apt-get install gnome" ;) [11:20] I'm having trouble booting my Lubuntu installation. After I choose the OS and kernel in grub the screen goes black and just stays like that. No loading screen appears. [11:20] dont need gnome XD [11:20] ehm I flooded, I think I'm not using 3rd party-repos [11:20] !nomodeset | wtommy55 [11:20] wtommy55: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [11:20] wtommy55, remove the splash and quiet options from the kernel line (e in grub) [11:20] are http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner and similar third-party? [11:21] ok thx [11:21] danilo, these should be properly tested, was more concerned about PPAs or such [11:22] is pm-suspend the correct command to suspend from terminal? [11:22] z eghkc [11:22] sachael, at least i keep using it and it works well [11:23] scatterp: It would be helpful if you could read the USB Vendor:Product ID from the sew3035's driver .inf file [11:23] @nibbler, thanks, I've seen that api-20090626 package is a virtual package provided by php5-cgi, php5-cli and similar, which I've already installed ( [11:23] hi catalin, are you catalan? [11:23] (in fact php5 is working fine) [11:24] danilo: drop the @ its not needed in irc and some clients won't highlight if you add it [11:24] ok, another question: is on vanilla ubuntu uswsusp installed? [11:25] sachael no [11:26] sachael i never installed it manually and it isnt there, so no [11:26] scatterp: could you paste the output of lsusb :) [11:26] lol, wtf was I doing on this laptop :D i hosed it pretty well [11:26] hi [11:27] hi killerspec [11:27] Newbie here was wondering if anyone able to help me out [11:27] ThinkT510 thanks :) [11:27] killerspec start xith a question [11:27] w [11:29] I am trying to follow something I found on line about my wireless and it is say that I need to type something in a text edit all cool till I try save it into a file that it says I have no permission to use [11:30] killerspec: hit ALT+F2, in the box type: gksudo gedit /file/to/edit [11:31] ok cool brb going to give it a bash [11:31] no dont use bash, use sudo :P [11:31] so, anybody have dealt with this phpapi-20090626 problem? (it won't install php5-imagick on 10.04.4 LTS because it's missing that virtual-package, but even reinstalling php5-cgi didn't help) [11:32] update from 8.10 to 12.04 - is this possible or should I reinstall? [11:32] colin_: you'll need some form of SHell, might as well use the bundled bash ;) [11:32] pio_: reinstall [11:32] pio_: not possible reinstall [11:32] true ;) [11:32] thanks [11:33] cfhowlett: not so much "not possible" as "not worth the hassle" [11:33] gordonjcp: OK - 6 of 1 [11:36] cfhowlett: it would be a great way to spend a particularly dismal weekend, if you're into boredom and self-harm [11:36] hello gordon [11:37] no wonder it's not booting from USB, USB ports are not sourcing any power O_o just checked with a multimeter after i noticed the led on the usbdrive not lighting up [11:37] PoS machine [11:38] Thanks a million Idleone that worked perfectly [11:38] sure thing [11:38] so it's either pxe or cdrom [11:39] colin_: pxe, it's really simple actually :) [11:40] I have a pxe-server @home just for installing computers. it also doubles as a mid-station repo (so I don't have to download the packages multiple times) [11:40] gotta pull some more cat6 first XD [11:41] colin_: ;) === Youri is now known as YWork [11:42] colin_: cat5e works just as well thou :) but cat7 is awesome for installation (wiring-wise, not computer-installation) [11:42] i have cat6 in my whole appartment [11:43] colin_: what?! oh. cat 6 not .. nevermind [11:43] 90% of it is connected through a PoE switch [11:44] currently installing hardware and cabling for home-automation and security [11:45] this box is going to be a place holder for 1 of the servers handling physical frontdoor access and security [11:46] i <3 oss [11:47] at the moment my appartment looks more like a scifi movie set than an actual house [11:47] salut [11:47] colin_: ... paranoid much? ;) [11:48] !fr | alison [11:48] alison: Nous sommes désolés, mais ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [11:48] salut [11:48] salut [11:48] my system is locking up lately, is there any way I can check what happened? [11:48] belgianguy: check your RAM using memtest in Grub [11:49] bkc_ no not paranoid, just worried about insurance not covering a burglar being mauled by my dogs [11:49] actionParsnip: ah, ok, will do that first [11:49] belgianguy: also check /var/log/syslog [11:49] colin_: ooh :P pro-tip: get a better camera ;) [11:49] why would i need a better camera? [11:49] colin_, usb power has to be requested by device/drive, only 50mA or such are there "for free" [11:50] colin_: 640x480 ? [11:50] nibbler i know, but it should register 5v at all times === qos is now known as qos|away [11:50] nibbler: 500mA... [11:50] I tried removing "quiet" and "spash" and I added nomodeset as well. Lubuntu still goes to a black screen. [11:50] bkc_ not following [11:50] bkc_, 500mA only if requested by the driver [11:50] colin_: it could turn the power off thou, if it can't register anything on the port... [11:51] nibbler: that's high-power-mode for usb3... [11:51] wtommy55, try also adding noapic nolapic acpi=off lacpi=off (not sure which one is the right, but too many won't hurt) [11:52] nibbler, can I try them all at once? [11:52] might just get the actual server thats supposed to go in there ready and install an os on that [11:52] bkc_ but a camera wont do any good [11:52] would even be more evidence against the dogs [11:52] bkc_, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Serial_Bus#Power [11:52] ;) [11:52] wtommy55, you can [11:53] colin_: never mind the camera-note... got you mixed up with the other guy ^^ support-channels >.< [11:53] exit [11:54] bkc_ the thing is that i have 2 working dogs (malinois) that are supposed to be locked up when off-duty [11:54] colin_: ooh... well... those dogs sure bite hard ^^ I've had a few :) [11:55] already had a break-in once where the 'burglar' removed the glass out of my front-door [11:55] didnt force anything [11:56] removed that glass? o.O [11:56] !ot | colin_ [11:56] colin_: #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! [11:56] cool stuf found today : http://bit.ly/PmHFVW [11:56] ThinkT510: yes sir! [11:57] bkc_ #ubuntu-offtopic if you're interested ;) [11:58] Sorry to bug you all.... is there any good sites with information about wireless security ? I have a wireless modem at work and since I work right next door to student accomadation I keep getting unwelcome guests sucking the life from my net. A mate was saying something about aircrack-ng to help me find the weak points in my wireless. [11:58] killerspec hak5.org [11:58] thanks colin [11:59] np [11:59] killerspec - you're using what security? wep? [11:59] Killeroid, use wpa enterprise encryption and you should be fine, unless you have gessable user/password - and of course check your servers certificate on authenticating [11:59] Killerspec aircrack isn't suported here [12:00] nibbler wifi security is a bit offtopic and you can never be sure about malicious intent === pyro__ is now known as Guest31026 [12:01] colin_, with these linux users you can never be sure about malicious intent..... [12:01] killerspec: you can also use MAC filtering to help security === cryptfu_ is now known as Guest93026 [12:05] i got a system on my network what is running win7 (all my media files) but every once in a wile (when i run newsleacher, or emule - perhaps turrents) all my linux devices no longer see my network/workgroup. it isnt untill i reboot the win system that then everything sees eachother - what causes this [12:06] hi guys, why does shotwell make new "optimized" versions of my pics and displays those instead of the original? how can I stop it from doing that? [12:07] I am using WPA2 security with a seriously random password made up of capitals lower cases numbers and what ever else I have on my keyboard. Problem with setting up MAC address filters (I think that is what its called) is that I do have random folks that need to use my net when they are in my business. By the way the password is 12 charaters long at this point I must also add that I am changing it at least once a month if not more [12:08] killerspec, does it have wps enabled? [12:09] can any one tell me how to identify which usb device is using which loaded module ? [12:09] When it comes to aircrack-ng sorry I wasn't asking for support. To be honest it all sounds to involved to get into [12:09] killerspec: that should be plenty to keep people out [12:10] killerspec: Is it possible that *someone* has gained access to the web-based control panel of the router? When did you last rotate the admin password? Is it secure? [12:11] scatterp: sudo lshw | less use cursor to scroll down, it should show the driver to device link [12:11] ummm what is wps ? [12:11] actionParsnip, thx [12:12] killerspec: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=wps [12:12] I change my admin password every friday afternoon [12:14] killerspec: unless i'm missing something it sounds like you got a keylogger or rootkit [12:14] Hey guys. [12:14] ok great [12:14] I downloaded flash from the adobe site. [12:15] And I'm given 3 things when extracted, and .so file, a README and a /usr/ file? [12:15] What do I do from there? [12:15] !flash | Shazer[2] [12:15] Shazer[2]: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [12:16] Shazer[2] you don't need it from the site [12:16] Shazer[2]: you copy the libflashplugin.so file to your browser's plugins folder [12:16] i found a cool firefox addon for flash alternative [12:16] killerspec: What's the router? Maybe you can enhance the logging on it so it sends it to your Ubuntu system's syslogd ? [12:16] Shazer[2]: or you can install it the easier way and use the repos [12:16] is there some sort of program that can check if I have a keylogger or rootkit ? One that you can recommend [12:16] lotuspsychje share it with the channel [12:16] lotuspsychje: me too, chrome :) [12:16] alright actionParsnip will do. [12:16] :) [12:16] open with..addon+ SMplayer addon [12:17] so you can rightmouse a youtube and open with [12:17] why doesn't my computer respect the dim settings i have? [12:18] just need to add smplayer on the opwith addon list, does the trick [12:18] actionParsnip:what is your called? [12:18] lotuspsychje: chrome [12:18] lotuspsychje: it has flash built in, works well [12:19] actionParsnip: ah ic, does chromium too? [12:19] lotuspsychje: no but you can hack the config to use the chrom plugin [12:20] actionParsnip:does chrome use adobe flash or own build-in version? [12:20] !info chrome > lotuspsychje [12:21] lotuspsychje: as far as I am aware, chrome will use the adobe flash if it is installed but will use it's own if not [12:21] lotuspsychje: chrome isn't in the repos [12:21] I thought chrome only used its own flash? [12:21] ThinkT510: ok [12:21] tnx [12:21] geekbri: no, the flash plugin is proprietary, so isn't in the open source chromium [12:21] Where is the standard location of user email? Root apparently has 200 gig mamil [12:22] mail [12:22] ah yes sorry, for Chromium yes, but for chrome it is different :) [12:22] Chrome != Chromium :) [12:22] aguadito: is this a laptop?

[12:49] there ya go. i dont recall the original question now... [12:49] abe_'s problem was likely due to one of the cedarview-drm post-inst actions - it has to replace "lightdm.conf", but there can be problems apparently [12:49] I want to fiddle with my SSHD config [12:49] Hey all [12:49] ello BluesKaj [12:49] Iceman_B: /etc/init is upstart stuff [12:50] Iceman_B: /etc/sshd would be where to look [12:50] Iceman_B: /etc/ssh/sshd_config [12:50] Iceman_B: /etc/ssh/sshd_config [12:50] err-or: thanks [12:51] Iceman_B: yup, and from that you can probably work out what you're looking for [12:51] strangely, "dpkg -L openssh-server" doesnt; point to any sshd directory [12:51] but yeah, I knwo what I want to change so should be good [12:52] perhaps its /etc/ssh im on m y phone so cant look [12:52] Iceman_B: somewhere in that lot you should see some files in /etc/sshd [12:52] tab completion makes me lazy [12:53] Iceman_B: That's correct - and you wouldn't want the package to contains any files for /etc/ssh/ either! Those files are generated by the post-install scripts and take account of pre-existing configuration files and keys [12:53] TJ-: eeh, that;s too hard for me to follow :( [12:53] Iceman_B: The package includes an example config: "/usr/share/doc/openssh-client/examples/sshd_config" [12:54] all I know is that I have been upgrading this server over the years from release to release [12:54] the install process makes the config files.... ;) [12:54] so maybe stuff got contaminiated or something [12:54] but er got where I needed to go [12:55] Iceman_B: Yes... each time the package is upgraded the package-manager and post-install scripts check for the existence of the configuration files, and check if there are changes needed. If so, the package-manager will offer choices (keep existing/replace/show diff) [12:55] totally OT: playing Zelda music in the background makes this stuff feel more epic [12:57] does any one know about porting drivers from mac to linux ? [12:58] scatterp: totally different OS [12:58] scatterp: is there no Linux driver for what you need? [12:59] How can i theme unity panel ... got the gtk theme changed need unity panel and window theme? [13:00] scatterp: I sent you several messages earlier about that device but you didn't respond [13:01] scatterp: It would be helpful if you could tell us the USB Vendor:Product ID of the device. If you've plugged it in on Ubuntu "lsusb" will show it. I'm looking at the Windows driver .inf file and there are 5 different IDs used in that product [13:02] hi, i'm running a gnome desktop with 3x3 workspaces on a notebook. my idea is to connect another monitor, so i have 2 hardware displays. the notebook display should keep the 3x3 workspace, the exernal screen displays a different desktop and works somehow as a system monitor. i think thats almost impossible to do, but I ask you, just in case ... any idea? [13:03] biopyte: configure it as multiple X sessions. Easy to do with the Nvidia X Settings tool, can't tell you about the ATI option [13:03] TJ-, thanks, multiple X ... get it. i have intel onboard graphics here. [13:04] long shot but, anyone got to change menu shortcuts in ROX in 12.04? The old methods with gconf-editor and gtkc-2.0 aren't working anymore [13:04] TJ-, so, basically you got my idea and you think i can do that? [13:04] biopyte: Not sure how to do it with the 'standard' display configuration app... You may have to resort to creating a custom xorg.conf [13:04] sachael: is there not a conf file for it? [13:04] biopyte: I used to do it myself, but now I find xinerama more useful as I want to drag windows from one display to another [13:05] ok, cool [13:05] actionParsnip: sadly no, you have to enable can-chance-accels and manually do it, but that gtkrc option doesn't seem to work anymore [13:06] i need one flexible working environment and one static system monitor ... you got the idea. thanks [13:06] TJ: http://pastebin.com/fNX3B06w [13:06] actionParsnip: oh wait, there is a config file. Weird, it was never promoted, only a much harder way was shown [13:06] sachael: http://roscidus.com/desktop/node/163 may help [13:07] Good day. How can I open port 2777? I've used uhw (sudo uhw allow 2777), but I still can't connect to it (that port is used by irssi proxy) [13:07] digen: As I understood it, you also need to pass the "auto" option don't you? [13:07] How do i theme unity? [13:07] actionParsnip: yeah, i found those files. It used to be that you had to do some black magic to change accelerator keys, even google still returns that as result [13:08] okay differnet question [13:09] sachael: try in #rox [13:09] whats a good tool to quickly and securely wipe an hdd?

For a faster option you can zero the drive with "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX" [13:11] he asked how to wipe a hdd that will do it [13:11] Iceman_B: shred [13:11] Iceman_B: you can use dban or dd on an unmounted partition [13:11] yea sudo shred is good too === shantorn__ is now known as shantorn [13:11] sudo dd [13:11] actionParsnip: I';ll check out DBAN, thanks [13:11] digen: The documentation you linked to earlier tells you. For an automatic install the option "auto " followed by one of the other options such as "url|file|priority|..." is requred [13:12] Iceman_B in a terminal, type apt-cache show wipe [13:13] MonkeyDust: what does the command do? [13:14] you can find out, by typing what I just suggested [13:14] Iceman_B it thoroughly erases disks [13:15] I assume it wont wipe my disk immediately? [13:15] MonkeyDust: That's amazing! Never knew apt-cache was that powerful :p [13:15] hello I just restarted my computer and somehow I can't do anything in the sound settings. Seems like he doesn't recognize my soundcard anymore. It worked fine before I restarted. Might this be connected with some of the last updates? Did anybody experience similar issuesor does anybody have an advice on what to do? [13:15] MonkeyDust, perhaps a warning is in order in the same sentence as the command [13:15] I'm using the current ubuntu btw [13:15] Iceman_B: "apt-cache show" gives you details of the named package, in that case, "wipe" [13:15] TJ- we're here to learn :) [13:15] thanks [13:15] thats what I wanted to know === matt_ is now known as Guest45216 [13:16] MonkeyDust: next time I want to erase a disk I'll use apt-cache :D [13:16] ah sorry, I forgot to mention, this is a triple-boot laptop I need to erase [13:17] so I'll probably use a DBAN [13:17] I changed the gtk theme but now how do i change the ugly black panel and window boarder???? [13:17] hi! i have some problems with my aptitude. it always wants me to uninstall most of my packages. is there a way to clean the configs? [13:17] Iceman_B: If you're wiping the entire hard drive you'd refer to it by its device name, e.g. "/dev/sdx". If you want to wipe a single partition, you'd do e.g. "/dev/sdXY" where that is device X, partition Y [13:17] !aptitude | klawd_prime [13:17] klawd_prime: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and higher) as aptitude cannot currently handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. [13:17] klawd_prime: apt-get autoremove? [13:18] TJ-: no, everything needs to go [13:18] MFT, MBR, everything [13:18] Iceman_B: Then the form "/dev/sdX" is the one to address the device [13:18] klawd_prime: i suggest you use apt-get in future [13:19] actionParsnip: dude. [13:19] actionParsnip: can debian guys please figure out their goddamn package management? [13:19] im on a friends PC and I always have problems with the packages [13:19] some people use aptitude, some apt-get and some both [13:19] and everybody says their way is the best [13:19] klawd_prime: its still dpkg doing the work. [13:19] hi, using the cron resource, how can I put the cronjobs in separated and dedicated tabs in /etc/cron.d, not in the user's crontab? [13:20] and it always seems to screw everything up [13:20] TJ-: Isn't the auto option only when specifying URL ? [13:20] klawd_prime: apt-get can manage multiarch, which ubuntu is now [13:20] I thought about "target" but it doesn't work that way [13:20] it is now. but broken? [13:20] hi sorry wrong channel :D [13:20] klawd_prime: why do you think nearly 100% of the Ubuntu official guides use apt-get? [13:20] digen: "auto auto-install/enable" [13:20] klawd_prime: try: sudo apt-get -f install [13:20] will, hold on [13:21] lookin good, thanks actionParsnip [13:21] can i reset iptables rules by editing a file? or does it have to be done on an online machine with commands ? === yavor is now known as y4h0 [13:22] ls [13:22] he [13:22] hey [13:22] nobody any idea what to do if the sound is just gone after a reboot? [13:22] randomDude: http://pikt.org/pikt/samples/reset_iptables.html [13:22] randomDude https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [13:22] randomDude: If the rules are saved/loaded to/from a file, you can edit that file ready for next boot/reload. You can change active rules using the "iptables" command [13:23] TJ-: DM ? [13:23] woosim: try: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* wait 10 seconds then try sound things [13:23] woosim: did you try to reboot and/or shutdown restart one more time ? [13:23] or that ;) [13:23] y4h0, hi [13:23] TJ-: is this just an assumption of yours? or do you know the file from which IPtables loads its rules from ? [13:23] the weird thing is that I can still see settings in the alsamixer from the bash [13:23] actionParsnip: might something like that cause 12.10 to only play mono sound? [13:24] designbybeck: Quantal isn't supported here [13:24] i only have sound coming out of one speaker on my netbook after putting 12.10 better 2 on there [13:24] randomDude: The file that rules are saved to depends on what 'firewall' package(s) the system is using - different packages will save to different files. [13:24] designbybeck: ask in #ubuntu+1 until release day [13:24] well no one ansered on +1 [13:24] when is release day? [13:24] 26th [13:24] ? [13:24] designbybeck: doesn't make it supported here [13:24] designbybeck: I'm in the channel [13:24] designbybeck: you never asked in +1 [13:25] randomDude: "iptables" is just a configuration tool for the kernel's netfilters; other tools can change the rules too without needing "iptables" [13:25] lies don't go down well [13:25] designbybeck: please respect the channelpolicies [13:25] it was a week or so ago ikonia and actionParsnip [13:25] designbybeck: then try again in the correct channel if you've not asked for over a week [13:25] designbybeck https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/ReleaseSchedule in hongkong it's 12h later than in new york [13:25] Thank you MonkeyDust [13:26] TJ-: I'm I actually using zentyal, which had a rule to only allow ssh access from a specific ip address. I no longer have access to that IP address, but I do have the server offline with its harddrive attached to a recovery machine... I just need to reset the firewall rules [13:26] TJ-: I just assumed zentyal-firewall was manipulating IPtable commands [13:26] randomDude: Ahhh OK. My guess would be there's a file under /etc/ someplace with the rules saved into it. === Lebby1 is now known as Lebby [13:28] randomDude: The search oracle tells me you'd be looking in /etc/zentyal/hooks/ ... my guess is searching for port 22 would find it: "egrep -rn 22 /etc/zentyal/*" === dpac|away is now known as dpac [13:31] im trying to remove all the extra kubuntu-desktop packaged installed and start using lxde [13:32] but apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop is not removing anything else but something called "ubuntu-dekstop" [13:32] i want all the K* apps deleted too! [13:32] theplanet: it's a metapacakge [13:32] ikonia, how do i do waht i want to do, please [13:34] !purelxde [13:34] If you want to remove all !KDE, !GNOME and !XFCE packages and have a default !Lubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelxde » [13:34] damn [13:34] you have a trigger for every scenario [13:34] almost [13:34] theplanet: what do you actually want to do [13:34] that seems to require a default lubuntu system while i have a default kubuntu system [13:34] Any one here who has used Tivoli in ubuntu for network monitoring perpose. [13:34] ikonia, i want what !purelxde explained [13:35] theplanet: just remove all the package names with kde in them, the rest will remove itself [13:35] theplanet: install lubuntu-desktop and then follow the intrucstions in the link the bot gave you [13:35] theplanet: sudo apt-get --purge remove `dpkg -l | grep kde | awk {'print $2'}` [13:35] theplanet: gets rid of all KDE apps :) [13:36] actionParsnip, thanks½ [13:36] ! [13:36] that way would work also but will leave you without a GUi after reboot, which is why i suggest you install lubuntu-desktop first (can be installed afterwards though) [13:37] Any one here who has used Tivoli in ubuntu for network monitoring perpose.? :( [13:37] !anyone | bipul [13:37] bipul: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

Unix/Linux syntax would be "-efly" [13:46] can we upate to 12.10 beta 2 from 12.04 [13:46] regarding USB boot of ubuntu 11.10 [13:47] TJ-: oh?! ... so ps -efly | grep NAME [13:47] designbybeck: ps --help or man ps [13:47] I've used the software UNetbootin and mount the iso of ubuntu 11.10 on a flash drive..

The program is built to accept three options forms: BSD, Unix, and GNU [13:53] actionparsnip: I was just giving an example [13:53] \msg dark grub2 [13:53] I configured the bios settings and enabled USB booting.. doesnt work..

[14:11] morning. i installed another linux os earlier and i already had 10.04 and windows partitions. apparantly the other os has grub 1 and i was told that ubuntu 10.04 uses grub 2? regardless, the grub menu does not provide an option to select ubuntu to load. any ideas on how i can get ubuntu to boot and/or add to the menu and/or if i delete the other os partiton will i mess myself up thanks. i like the build i cuurently have for 10.04 the config [14:11] is perfect for my requirements so i really need to preserve it. any suggestions? [14:11] enapupe: maybe it's iptables?

[14:47] exit [14:48] resuremade: It may do, but that looks like an SSH-only protection. I'd focus on editing your UFW rule-set to insert the port 2777 rules in its configuration, then stop/start UFW to have it apply them in the correct order [14:48] Hi, I need help with startup after upgrading to 12.04, my machine boots to a blank screen, then after powering down I get the grub menu, from there I can pick a kernel and it starts properly.

[14:51] overclucker, Yeah [14:52] hi guys. i am running on ubuntu server and my cpu crash so i bring my harddrive to another system. Everything boot correctly but i have no network [14:52] wondered: open ~/.xinitrc and add 'exec startkde' to the end. then run startx [14:52] my eth0 is not configure correctly [14:52] someone could help me out [14:53] resuremade: Yes. You might want to do "sudo ufw disable" then "sudo iptables --flush" then "sudo ufx enable" then add your new UFW rules [14:54] fastputty: do you use DHCP? === chuck is now known as chuckharmston [14:55] fastputty: That is probably because the previous eth0 interface was saved in "/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules". You'll probably find the network interface is now eth1. You can delete the entry in "70-persistent-net.rules" to have the first interface named "eth0" on the 'new' hardware [14:55] actionParsnip: yes [14:56] TJ-: i did delete the last line in 70-persistent-net.rules [14:56] fastputty: OK, you're ahead of the game then :) Tell us in detail how eth0 is configured, and what is (not) happening [14:57] fastputty: does your interface have an IP? You can check with: ip addr [14:57] wouldnt the second entry be the new nic TJ? Should he not delete them both and reboot so a fresh entry is the only entry and eth0? [14:57] TJ-: oops, I've missed something. Now I can't ssh to vps :-D [14:57] nm then... lol [14:58] fastputty, if you have more than one nic, and if they sometimes change between eth0 and eth1, you can define them by hand and stop the changes [14:58] compdoc: only 1 nic [14:58] resuremade: Do they provide a local console log-in redirection option? [14:59] TJ-: don't know. But it isn't big problem because it's not production server [15:00] L3top: fastputty In "70-persistent-net.rules" the MAC would be matched to the 'next' name - I assume fastputty deleted the entry relating to the 'old' hardware and does now have an "eth0" from what has been said [15:00] since it's a vps, there's may be vnc. check with your host. [15:01] ^-- that's for you, resuremade [15:01] overclucker, Okay. I thought it should be .xsession [15:01] resuremade: :p I'm glad to hear it! On Linode for example, they provide 'lish' a remote SSH that connects to the local VPS console so you can still get access even if you lock yourself out of network access [15:02] wondered: did that do it for you? === hotfloppy is now known as Guest75875 [15:02] TJ-: yea, I've tried lish) Now going to search analogues at hetzner [15:02] resuremade: Or just use the web console to reboot the VPS to the same state it was in earlier? [15:02] I add smb mount points to /etc/fstab and mount them to /media/... They work great, but over time nautilus shows dead mount points with the same name, next to mount points that work. If i clear /etc/fstab they go away. Why do i have to do this to keep nautilus clean? [15:03] overclucker, yep [15:03] so uh, is the 'NOUSB' a standard switch built into the Linux kernel?

[15:04] if i just delete the other partition, the old ubuntu grub should be the dominant grub because the other grub will have been removed. is that logic right?

[15:04] TJ-: thanks, I'll try it [15:04] Is there a way to force the unmount even though there are two bash processes in the mountpoint? [15:05] hi, I tried many moons ago to upgrade to 11.04, and it resulted in darkness through the realm (of my laptop at least) [15:05] so now that I've reached the end of the road, how can I move across to lands beyond? [15:05] xevwork: It may be possible - you could mount some other file-system onto the same mount-point (which ought to replace the existing mount-point), and then try umount on the original file-system ? I've never tried that myself however! === atrius_away is now known as atrius [15:05] !details | shomon [15:05] shomon: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [15:06] xevwork: the other alternative is to do a 'lazy' umount [15:06] wondered: you can switch to text mode ttys by pressing the ctrl-alt-f1 - f7 or f8 combination, even while in X [15:07] hello, I would like to use the latest version of django (1.4) but python-django package only has version 1.3.1, how can I get the newest version?

[15:08] drussell - I am online now [15:09] gbili: easy_install or pip are probably the best choices for installation [15:10] bazhang, it's the version prior to 11.04 [15:10] whenever I upgrade it at login it just goes blank [15:10] overclucker, Now it does not auto mount other partitions [15:10] completely dark [15:10] so how can I check if now with upgrades and stuff it might work? [15:10] soman actually, it's offtopic, better go there -- what you can do: burn CD's and distribute them for free [15:11] overclucker, ok thanks, but is it difficult to create a package? so i use django the ubunut official way? [15:11] it's not impossible but it takes a lot of figuring out [15:11] hello [15:12] once you can do it, you can automate it in loads of ways so may be what you need gbili [15:12] i installed ubuntu 12.04 on my netbook. I run perfect. [15:12] But when i installed the amount of software that i use it starts very slow [15:13] bazhang, ubottu, MonkeyDust: thanks [15:13] I would upgrade to anything that worked.. but can I install maybe to usbb disk and try it there first? [15:13] how could i make the login run faster? [15:13] Zentaur: depends on whats running and loading [15:13] Zentaur use sudo apt-get apt-remove to delete obsololete soft -- also delete old kernels [15:13] shomon: thats doable [15:14] Zentaur that's sudo apt-get autoremove [15:14] Zentaur: I've noticed with 12.04 that gnome-settings-daemon often uses 100% CPU and accesses the disk continuously for some time after log-in begins, effectively making log-in take ages. Not sure why it does that. [15:14] Zentaur: default Os on the netbook? [15:14] gbili: i'm not sure, you'll have to explore the differences on your own [15:14] yes, defaullt [15:15] Zentaur:i mean what Os was installed when buying the netbook? [15:15] windojs 7 [15:16] !fstab | wondered [15:16] wondered: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system.

I think it's autofs that's in charge of auto mounting. [15:24] r3k: Maybe create a new group, make those users members of it, and then assign the new group as owner of directories (making sure that each directory leading to those directories has +x mode) [15:24] hi [15:24] how can I see what version of ubuntu I'm currently running.

[15:24] sporkf, which version did you install [15:25] !version | sporkf [15:25] sporkf: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [15:25] rymate1234: If I remembered I wouldn't be asking.

The pastebin you showed me doesn't include include the UFW rules so I assumed you'd got UFW disabled when you generated that output. UFW may have the rules, but you need to "sudo ufw enable" to have them written to netfilters [15:27] is it safe to install KDE on ubuntu? I don't feel like wiping my hard drive to install kubuntu.

[15:36] Hi all. I'm running Ubuntu Server on one of my servers that acts as a SFTP server and I'm noticing that it is starting to take a long time to login. The console-kit-daemon process is eating up a lot of CPU. What does this process do? [15:36] Romulan, ask the channel and see [15:36] TJ-: I've run `ufw enable` and it changed iptables rules (https://gist.github.com/13849c57b4dd5c6a7702), but I still can't connect to the irssi-proxy on 2777 from my laptop (but I can connect to it from the server) [15:37] CharlieSu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/consolekit/+bug/284229 [15:37] Launchpad bug 284229 in ConsoleKit "console-kit-daemon using a lot of cpu" [High,Fix released] [15:37] resuremade: Your rules are in the ufw-user-input chain [15:37] Hi [15:39] TJ-: I must move them to the main section, right? [15:39] Question: When installing a new trusted root certificate to Ubuntu 10.04, they go in /usr/local/share/ca-certificates ? [15:40] Or is it /etc/ssl/certs$ [15:40] resuremade: which, if you read the rules and dependencies is *supposed* to be called in this order INPUT > ufw_before_input > ufw-user-input > ACCEPT 2777 ... [15:40] how can i install gnome 3.6 in 12.04 [15:41] resuremade: **however*, in the INPUT chain you _still_ have a REJECT rule immediately before the ufw_before_input jump, so your rules never get processed. [15:41] goddard: You don't like Unity? [15:41] TJ-: strange, it's default rules after iptables flush [15:41] Fifo: Gnome Shell is better and faster with the same features and you can change things with extensions [15:42] Cipher-0, see https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/certificates-and-security.html >> sudo cp server.crt /etc/ssl/certs >> sudo cp server.key /etc/ssl/private [15:42] goddard: for newer versions use a ppa. [15:42] resuremade: That "REJECT" rule was there before you enabled UFW, so it probably comes from fail2ban. So that tells us you need to investigate fail2ban since it looks to be preventing UFW from doing its job [15:42] goddard: I know but I like Unity more.

[15:45] nbf: Gnome Shell does the same thing and it doesn't have any of the stupid lens and stuff and Gnome Shell beats Unity benchmarks [15:45] TJ-: is it safe to remove fail2ban, if I have disabled password auth (only certs) and root ssh auth? [15:45] yeah gnome shell is okay, I was using it for a while [15:45] the latest ubuntu unity is very nice though (quantal) [15:45] the performance is much better on my ivy bridge syste [15:45] nbf: i like unity i just like Gnome Shell more [15:46] ping TerryH [15:46] resuremade: see http://askubuntu.com/questions/54771/potential-ufw-and-fail2ban-conflicts [15:46] Romulan: try using torrents [15:46] goddard: I'm waiting for Unity 3D in VirtualBox.

[15:47] actionParsnip: Thanks for that bug reference.. Looks like that was the issue for me... [15:47] I'm very familiar with gnome 3 :) [15:48] Does anyone notice a bug in Chromium 20, which closes alone when using flash plugin?? [15:48] nbf: i was surprised they added the overall menu in 3.6 that was the feature I was missing so now I'm happy [15:48] I'm installing Ubuntu Server 12.04. Cool, huh? :) [15:48] it's a great release [15:48] I upgraded all of out previous LTS servers to 12.04 [15:50] nice [15:50] the installer was corrected [15:50] i need to do that [15:51] is the ubuntu 3.6 kernel out of rc yet? [15:51] truexfan81: Linux 3.6 isn't out yet [15:51] * truexfan81 wonders what he was just reading then lol [15:51] * trotro never understood why ubuntu need to put it's dirty hands on the kernel... :-( [15:51] why do they have ubuntu remixes when you can just install any DE in ubuntu? [15:52] goddard: less setup work [15:52] goddard, some people are too lazy to install from minimal. [15:52] oh [15:52] And removing a DE and replacing it can be annoying; it leaves dependencies behind. [15:52] DE ? [15:52] Desktop Environment. [15:53] Window Manager ? [15:53] It's usually a window manager and a collection of tools. [15:53] trotro: WM [15:53] Like a menu, system tray, and the like. [15:53] * Cipher-0 has no idea why he couldn't find that, thanks Oerherks. [15:53] How would I keep a java app running even when I log out [15:53] Oh... the complete (and often useless) thing [15:53] (remote machine) [15:53] caddoo: Run it as a background process or daemon? [15:53] Not sure how to do that, or if it's possible. [15:54] it's the same thing [15:54] yeah that's my question [15:54] its for Solr, and I normally just do [15:54] java -jar start.jar [15:54] cadddo: look into screen [15:55] TJ-: I've removed fail2ban from a system (for a time) and... there is still 'REJECT all -- 0.0.0.0/0 127.0.0.0/8 reject-with icmp-port-unreachable' from `sudo iptables -nL` (it's after rebooting and `sudo ufw enable`).

We've seen 4 instances of UBuntu 12 freezing in EC2 with no log entries and no real rhyme or reason… [15:55] resuremade: Something wrong somewhere! I wonder if there's yet another set of firewall rules being loaded!? [15:56] i want to install indic key boad [15:56] trotro: haha useless you hate all the gnome apps? [15:56] what i have to go [15:56] TJ-: it's sad) [15:56] goddard, if only it was application [15:56] Diranged: i'd get a RAM test RAM [15:57] TJ-: are you sure it's running on a network interface? [15:57] actionParse: this is in amazon EC2 … not really possible [15:57] it's usually gnome applet, and i don't use gnome, it's slow [15:57] resuremade: Do a search for that REJECT rule. "sudo egrep -rn REJECT /etc/*" ... see what files are implicated [15:57] trotro: only if your on an older system [15:57] trotro: Which WM/DE do you use? [15:58] goddard, Older system or no, Awesome, openbox and the like will usually be "faster" than GNOME/KDE [15:58] TJ-: oops wrong person, that's for you resuremade [15:58] trotro: gnome shell doesn't have applets any more [15:58] goddard, when I change the wibndow manager, the load time of the graphic environment goes from 20" to 0.1" [15:58] overclucker: The firewall rule?

"/etc/iptables.firewall.rules" ... we now need to find out what is loading that rule! [15:59] trotro: awesome is basically a bunch of terminal windows [15:59] goddard: Yes, but a DE/WM that uses fewer resources will feel more responsive. [16:00] resuremade: "sudo egrep -rn '/etc/iptables\.firewall\.rules' /etc/*" [16:00] Up to a certain point, at least; and once you reach that point, sure, feel free to use what you want.

[16:01] goddard: It's a window manager... It has nothing to do with terminals. [16:01] trotro: could switch the deadbeef, its damn fast [16:01] resuremade: now lets find out what installs that! [16:01] You can open applications in it, it's just a lighter-weight equivalent to GNOME's WM [16:01] With tiling functionality. [16:01] actionParsnip, deadbeef ? what is it ? [16:01] Window managers have nothing to do with the programs you run within them. [16:01] trotro: media player [16:01] Deadbeef is a music player. [16:02] TJ-: another magic egrep command? :-D [16:02] actionParsnip, do you mean the things that doesn't know how to read divx without internet [16:02] :D [16:02] resuremade: no, this time it was "apt-file search ..." here locally, followed by the search oracle :p [16:02] seednode: well i just use the command line it is even more light weight haha [16:02] Hellow! what can i do, my videos in youtube are playing extremly fast? [16:02] The difference is, goddard, that Awesome is graphical, not CLI. [16:02] I have a Ubuntu server named "vain" in my personal network, but sometimes I can't find it from my Linuxmint laptop by pinging "vain". Is the issue with my server or laptop?

Please recommend... [16:03] trotro: never had an issue with it, uses very little cpu [16:03] Gycklarn, c'est vain :D [16:03] TJ-: `apt-file search`? [16:03] goddard: My point is more that you keep arguing that GNOME is as lightweight as any other DE. [16:03] Which is objectively false. [16:04] actionParsnip, if I give it a strange audio/video file, it will cry because it hasn't the code [16:04] VLC never bertay me [16:04] betray [16:04] resuremade: This page gives instructions for configuring the rules that way. It suggests you may have used that method at some point in the past to configure a basic firewall. That being so, you ought to be able to undo it by reversing the instructions to stop it loading the rules. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [16:04] trotro: either that, or gnome-mplayer :). Never had an issue [16:05] resuremade, sudo /sbin/alsa force-reload did the trick for now... but here's your output http://paste.ubuntu.com/1254156/ [16:05] actionParsnip, dl a fresh new divx, and unplug your internet cable [16:05] start from a fresh install [16:05] resuremade: see the section titled "Solution #2 /etc/network/if-pre-up.d and ../if-post-down.d" [16:05] seednode: i was never arguing that. I said my system is a beast and crushes gnome shell with ease so I can have the flash and my system still flies. I don't need to use a terminal window manager like Awesome to be fast. [16:05] once vlc is installed it read everything [16:05] (french coders got higher standrad :D ) [16:05] Using Ubuntu 12.04 and all text is slightly gray rather than black. What do I edit for black text? I'm not seeing an option in MyUnity, CompizConfig, or dconf editor.

[16:07] trotro: not tried it [16:07] that's all I need [16:07] VLC rulez [16:07] trotro: but I will always have a web connection [16:07] hey, i know what a trotro is [16:07] Alright, thanks for the *subtle* hint overclucker, I'll stop now. [16:08] Also, feel free to just tell me, instead of going all stealthy-like. [16:08] trotro: so its as good as VLC, and uses less CPU, so VLC doesn't rule as it is solving something that isn't a problem [16:08] seednode: :D its all ubuntu love though [16:08] actionParsnip, when you're FAI will be down we will talk about that :) or when you'll go somewhere without the internet [16:08] DrMrHorse, what ? [16:08] trotro: like I said, I ALWAYS have web access [16:08] I understand [16:09] actionParsnip, but the day it will become false, you'll think about it [16:09] no one knwos the future [16:09] !ot | trotro [16:09] trotro: #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! [16:09] TJ-: I've created that scripts and made them executable. Now again ufw re-enabling? [16:09] trotro: I work in IT so everywhere I go has wifi or some wred jacks. I can also connect to my android phone and use that as a modem if I am in the middle of the desert [16:09] seednode: stealthylike conserves my screen real-estate xp [16:09] bazhang, what ? [16:09] trotro: it's a taxi in ghana [16:10] trotro: I strongly doubt it [16:10] guys, `find' passes filenames to bzip2 via -exec after bzip2 has already compressed them - how do i prevent that? [16:10] ha ok :) but no it's not that [16:10] trotro, take chat elsewhere . this is support only [16:10] actionParsnip, you know the futrue ? [16:10] trotro: I know I'll have web access, even in a blackout my phone has web so it's all good [16:10] trotro: Just move into Ubuntu-offtopic with the rest of us. === dpac is now known as dpac|away [16:10] actionParsnip, lets move on please [16:11] why do you say that to me only guys ? [16:11] am I alone ? [16:11] is there a guide out there to debug ubuntu system binaries? I have installed the -dbg package, but I am still having trouble getting locals and "no line number information" [16:11] They don't, trotro, they messaged me, too. [16:11] yeah lets move on to `find' passing filenames to bzip2 [16:11] * trotro shuts up. [16:11] i get error messages like 'file.bz2' already exists [16:11] (use -f to overwrite) [16:12] how do i have itunes in ubuntu 12.04?? [16:12] you dont Romulan [16:12] Romulan, check the appdb [16:12] Hi. I have Ubuntu 12.04 installed and for some reason, the workspace switcher button on the launcher does not work, and the hotkeys for switching workspaces will not work either. How should I go about fixing that? [16:12] !appdb | Romulan [16:12] Romulan: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [16:12] Romulan: there are guides on youtube how. I suggest you use a virtualbox [16:12] trotro: join #ubuntu-offtopic [16:12] I tried the software centre, bu tno definitive version that supports iTunes is available.. [16:13] Romulan, it will NEVER be native to linux [16:13] virtualbox is a great idea but again.. in ubuntu : is there nothing? [16:13] Romulan, so try via wine, or virtualbox [16:13] Romulan: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=itunes%20ubuntu [16:13] so, find ./ -type f -exec pbzip2 {} \; - after like.. 50-60 files pbzip2 starts running into files it already compressed. [16:14] ggolin: I'd ask in #bash [16:14] actionParsnip, bash eh.. hm. not a bad idea. [16:14] actionParsnip, think this is shell specific? [16:14] * ggolin could test with zsh. [16:15] okay. that would do! thanks people! [16:15] ggolin: I think it may be an issue with spaces, -exec will not properly handle them. [16:15] resuremade: sorry, I was away. My point was to *remove* any and all iptables rule-loading operations in those pre/post directories so they do not get in the way of UFW. Deleting "/etc/iptables.firewall.rules" will stop that REJECT and other rules being used, anyhow. If you remove that file, then do "sudo ufw disable && sudo iptables --flush && sudo ufw enable" I *think* you'll finally be OK! [16:15] Pici, oh? [16:18] hello everybody [16:19] I need help with ubuntu server. I've made a fresh installation and everything was ok, but once installed I try to login and it says Login incorrect [16:19] I need pc recommendation for 64bit 12.04 desktop. Was burned with an asus not even completing 12.04.1 setup and still freezing with 12.10. will be using eclipse on large java projects. where can I find a HCL and pick something around $1000 at Fry's? [16:20] !hcl | niargh [16:20] niargh: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [16:20] niargh, ##hardware or #ubuntu-offtopic please [16:20] I need help with ubuntu server. I've made a fresh installation and everything was ok, but once installed I try to login and it says Login incorrect [16:20] niargh: Do you still have the option of fixing the problems with the Asus? Or have you disposed of it? Sometimes the fixes are trivial for experts [16:20] lgr79: remember the login username + password you configured during installation [16:20] TJ-: still have the asus [16:21] niargh: Have you had help trying to fix that? I'm wondering if you'd consider it worthwhile to fix that rather than write it off and buy another? [16:22] TJ-: I've put the right username and password. I've reinstalled, put the same again on installation and the the same problem occurs [16:22] lgr79: Any non-alpha-numeric or accented characters in the username or password? are either unusually long? [16:22] TJ-: happy try fixing, what do you recommend? [typing this on the very machine right now] [16:22] What can I do if the Ubuntu installer does not see the hard disk? I already tried changing AHCI settings. [16:23] niargh: That's progress! Tell us the exact make/model to begin with, we can look it up and see what bugs may already be reported against it, and/or workarounds [16:23] hey guys quick question i need to install mono to get some .exe useing wine to work however i dont know witch mono file to install? [16:23] TJ-: Username has 3 low-cap letters and 2 numbers, without spaces. Password has got 1 capitol letter, 1 low cap letter and 8 numbers, without spaces [16:23] what would be the mono file im looking fore [16:23] ? [16:23] CM6870-US-3AB [16:24] Erealz: depends what your application wants. The mono website lists compatability [16:24] Erealz: also why does wine care about mono - it's self contained [16:24] hold ill get the out put of the error [16:24] cli binary don't need wine [16:25] lgr79: That *is* strange! Have you tried altering the case, especially of the password. Sometimes, the shift key is/is not registered in time and a masked password ends up with CAPS being lower and/or lower being CAPS ! [16:25] wine: Install Mono 2.8 or greater for Windows to run .NET 4.0 applications. [16:25] ujjain: does BIOS recognize them? [16:25] Erealz: right, so that's saying the mono suite [16:25] TJ-: CM6870-US-3AB, was planning on using the on-board video, couldn't complete 12.04 desktop setup, so added an nvidia video board [16:25] hello [16:25] niargh: looking now [16:25] igr79 Yes, I want to make a a dual install, Windows is already installed fine [16:25] whats the issue ujjain?? [16:25] ubuntu install does not see hard disk [16:25] sould i do a apt-cache search mono suit or what [16:25] installer* [16:25] there are so meny file that cameup i dont know witch is witch [16:26] what are u now on? [16:26] ujjain: have you tried ubuntu on live-cd and tried to mount hdd there?ç [16:26] Igr79, there are no Linux partitions, just 1x150 NTFS and 150GB free disk space [16:26] can some one tell me witch mono file is the suit ? === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [16:26] ujjain: it's not a problem, ubuntu should mount ntfs partitions [16:26] !mono [16:26] I might be able to create the partitions via Gparted, 1x swap, 1x / ext4 [16:27] there no one file named monosuit [16:27] Erealz: no, there isn't it's broken down into many ubuntu packages [16:27] TJ-: hah, now it really doesn't works (after reboot too) :-D [16:27] lgr79, ah, the new interface confuses me, there is no upper menu, nor a search option, I didn't evne know how to open console [16:27] resuremade: "Doesn't work", or "Does" ? [16:28] niargh: for starters, and our first lead, see bug #999910 [16:28] Launchpad bug 999910 in linux (Ubuntu Precise) "[IVB]12.04 64 bit System freezes (mouse, keyboard)" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/999910 [16:28] ok i found this mono-complete [16:28] TJ-: I mean doesn't connect to SSH to) [16:28] is that it? [16:28] ujjain, yes, the legned said that people understand bnetter that new interface (I'm sure that microsoft infiltrate ubuntu team to kill ubuntu from inside :D ) [16:28] *too [16:28] Erealz: seems a good place to start [16:28] k [16:28] !behelpful | trotro [16:28] trotro: As our !guidelines say, "When helping, be helpful". If you're not familiar with the issue at hand, let someone else handle it instead of making !offtopic comments or jokes. [16:28] damn thats a bunch of files [16:28] ujjain. ur issue solved? [16:28] TJ-: I think it's good time to get some practice with rescue image [16:28] Romulan, no, I am planning to use gparted to create partitions [16:28] and see if I can mount htem, [16:29] TJ-: tried to type password in low-case and in capital, but no result. Still incorrect login [16:29] resuremade: Ouch! maybe that's the fail2ban not putting its rules in? Those instructions to incorporate fail2ban into UFW might need re-checking to ensure you've got it correct. [16:29] the GUI aint poppin up? [16:29] ubottu, shut up stupid bot [16:29] trotro: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:29] TJ-: yep, been there, and that's why I'm running 12.10 [16:29] are u using a virtual box? [16:29] TJ-: I've removed fail2ban before [16:29] are u installing ubunntu inside windows? [16:30] ujjain: the first thing I'd try is to boot from a live-CD and check if Ubuntu see your hdd [16:30] TJ-: definitely more stable than 12.04.1, but still freezes... [16:30] TJ-: I'm going to rescue my nginx configs and then install 12.04 [16:30] lgr79, I didn't see a hdd listed in the left menu, there is no upper menu, it just lists 5x office, settings, like 8 things in total [16:30] hi bazhang.! :) [16:31] ujjain: you should see a cabinet, like an old file storage cabinet on the left menu. There you can mount your hdd [16:31] lgr79: Reboot. Hold the 'shift' key down immediately as the BIOS screens finish... that'll get you to the boot loader menu. Choose the Recovery option. When that boots, from the text menu choose "root shell". Let me know when you're there, if you can. If not, you'll do "passwd " and set the password again. replace "" with the user log-in, of course. Then "exit" and reboot normally [16:31] There was no such cabinet for a hard disk. [16:32] resuremade: Good luck, you're not having much success so far! [16:32] TJ-: thanks [16:33] niargh: Have you tried using one of the latest Linux kernels from the Ubuntu kernel team's PPA? e.g. I'm using 3.6rc7 right now [16:34] niargh: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [16:35] niargh: I think this other report affects that system, too. bug #1034358 [16:35] Launchpad bug 1039087 in linux (Ubuntu Precise) "duplicate for #1034358 Precise update to 3.2.28 stable release" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1039087 [16:35] TJ-: looking, thanks, brb [16:37] niargh: In both cases it seems that using a recent upstream kernel version is the solution === entropy- is now known as [NM]entropy [16:39] hi [16:40] TJ-: Holding shift key does nothing to the boot process. I have a strange keyboard, like the notebooks' one, so I'm going to change to a standard keyboard and try from there. Thank you for your support anyway. If I still have problems with the new keyboard, I'll be back here [16:40] lgr79: Good luck! [16:41] lgr79: sometimes, you have to hold/repeat-rapid-press the Shift key as the BIOS POST screens are finishing so the GRUB detects the key-press [16:43] TJ-: thanks, I'm a total noob WRT playing with != kernels, I'll read the links you sent me and will be back on the irc, thanks again. [16:43] niargh: OK... before you go... [16:43] TJ-: yep? [16:44] niargh: If you have a go at downloading and installing a v3.6 kernel, you'll need the linux-image, linux-image-extra and linux-headers packages for the architecture (i386 or amd64) [16:44] niargh: in addition to the linux-header*all package [16:45] TJ-: how do you think, what is the best for ubuntu server (nginx, postgres) with 1064 RAM, x86, or x64? [16:45] What is the channel for beta version? [16:45] brohan_: #ubuntu+1 [16:45] resuremade: x86 (32-bit) if there is only 1GB or RAM [16:45] ok [16:45] thank you [16:46] Hello there. Sorry for my bad english in advance. I have to install a dual boot windows 7 + Ubuntu, on an empty computer. I know it's easier to install first windows and after ubuntu. But when we have to do it in the other way (ubuntu -> Win 7) what should i care of ? [16:47] TJ-: sounds a bit greek (me == kernel noob) but will write what you said down and it will hopefully make sense when I know more [16:47] Maybe i have to let an empty space at the beginning of the hdd, cause windows doesn't like starting on a second partition ? [16:47] niargh: It boils down to downloading 4 debian (.deb) package files, then using "sudo dpkg -i " to install them! ... easy, really :) [16:48] lJ6il, ubuntu advises: install windows first [16:48] TJ-: I know a lot about apt-get, wow, it's that simple, even for kernels? [16:48] lJ6il, You can have a partition at the beginning of the disc for the future windows install a NTFS, the main reason for installing windows first is having it first on the disc for access for repiars. [16:48] lJ6il: If you want to install Windows last, but still have the GRUB boot-loader aftewards, you can save the MBR (first sector of the disk) from Ubuntu then write it back using the liveISO (CD/USB) after Windows is installed [16:49] repairs* [16:49] my grub is missing after deleting other linux distro, now how can i update re install again ?? [16:50] lJ6il: The 'issue' with installing Windows last is it always installs its own boot-strap code into the MBR, replacing GRUBs. If we save GRUBs, we can put it back afterwards, and then once booted into Ubuntu do "sudo update-grub" and it'll add Windows to its menu [16:50] sudo update-grub ? [16:50] fire_, YOu can reload grub to the mbr from a live cd, or use supergrub to get into the ubuntu and reload it there at the desktop [16:50] What is grub, really? [16:50] i m in live cd right now... [16:51] If it is just the problem of "erasing" Grub, it's not a problem for me :). Thanks for your answers about that. Is there another problem i should care of ? [16:51] KevinF, A bootloader [16:51] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub [16:51] ah [16:51] Kevin`: GRand UNified bootloader [16:51] TJ-: groan, now I read what you said, dpkg, not apt-get, got it. [16:52] TJ-, There is no need to save the mbr it can easily be reloaded. [16:52] wilee-nilee: It can, but I find a simple "dd if=mbr.bin of=/dev/sdX" faster [16:52] i've changed my datadir and turned apparmour to complain, not force but get the following error when i try to start mysql - any ideas? http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=HfrwDK9v [16:52] i've changed my datadir and turned apparmour to complain, not force but get the following error when i try to start mysql - any ideas? http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=HfrwDK9v [16:53] oops sorry for double post :) [16:54] TJ-, That may be your method but not ever suggested here or in wikis, and has the chance of breaking the disc table if done incorrectly. [16:54] just saying ;) [16:54] wilee-nilee: no, it doesn't. The saved MBR is less than 440 bytes - just the boot-strap code (partition table is left intact) [16:55] TJ-, Yes if done correctly. ;) [16:55] is there anything in ubuntu that would be blocking a request to create a TCP port from PHP? [16:55] i know there is an issue with root for ports LOWER than a certain number, the port in question is 2324 [16:56] wilee-nilee: You can get 'dd' for win32 and run it from Windows to restore the MBR, don't need to boot a supergrub or liveISO even [16:56] think that is above whatever the rooot thingy is [16:56] How do I get into the console from the Ubuntu Live DVD? [16:56] ujjain: ctrl+alt+1 [16:56] should work [16:56] Phinnay: Is the process unprivileged? Is it requesting a port below 1024? [16:56] or ctrl+alt+f1 [16:57] aieou, try with this http://askubuntu.com/questions/127264/installed-12-04-cant-start-mysql-mysql-respawning-too-fast-stopped [16:57] f1, ofcourse [16:57] sorry [16:57] Phinnay, maybe your router , does it have application support ? [16:57] Phinnay: OK ... just noticed your comment! How about apparmor? [16:57] TJ-, My point here is that is a old school method not suggested by and large is all, there are easier methods that allow user to have tools in their kits they should have. ;) [16:57] aeiou, try with this http://askubuntu.com/questions/127264/installed-12-04-cant-start-mysql-mysql-respawning-too-fast-stopped [16:57] thanks :) [16:57] /dev/sda1 - SystemHPFS/NTFS/exFat :-( [16:58] ujjain, what does your last post means? [16:58] wilee-nilee: I know, I was half trying to ensure the user understands the underlying reason and process and how simple the solution is, regardless of tools used. [16:58] TJ i disabled Apparmor [16:58] ah, I misinterepreted lgr79 , I thought I had a wrong partition table [16:59] okç [16:59] Mir09, will try - thanks! [16:59] Phinnay: Anything else on that port already? Anything logged to /var/log/syslog or /var/log/auth.log ? [16:59] nah, nothing else on it, nothing logged in either of those areas :( [16:59] aeiou, :) [16:59] lsof -i tcp |grep port# [17:00] lgr79, the installer still does not see the device. [17:00] TJ-, how do you check if there's something else on a certain port? [17:00] Phinnay: You say a request from PHP... do you mean the PHP interpreter running solo, or a PHP web-app running under apache for example? [17:00] ujjain, but did you mount it on ubuntu live? [17:00] lgr79: "sudo netstat -ntlap | grep " helps [17:00] lgr79, no, should I make the partitions via fdisk? [17:00] thank you, TJ- [17:00] PHP webapp running under Apache [17:01] ujjain, no. Do you have got free space disk? [17:01] Phinnay: And you want to create a server port? Or an outgoing connect to a remote port? [17:01] lgr79, Yes, there is half free [17:01] Mir09, no luck :) [17:01] TJ- the script connects to a remote server and pulls information from a TCP socket that the script then displays in a web form [17:01] hello everyone...i've got a question regarding animation effects in compiz-fusion ... i would like to set the "burn" effect when closing a window... but only if the window is not maximized.... how do i do that? help please :) [17:02] chemist^, try in #compiz [17:02] ujjain, it's strange. Anyway, like i'd say, I'd try to mount it on a live cd before. Try Kubuntu, or Fedora [17:02] Phinnay: is port 2324 on the remote server? [17:02] TJ- yes, and i made a typo, its is 8283 on the remote server [17:02] bazhang, i did...but noone answers... everyone is silent :) thought i might find my answer here [17:03] <|Anthony|> anyone here know how to change the default user session when auto-login. Nothing i've tried has worked. [17:03] does exist a manager for cpu hd and fun in order to make my battery's life get longer? [17:03] Phinnay: If the connection is being blocked by the local host, then I'd expect to see reports in the apache and/or php log-files. You may need to increase/enable logging in PHP (php.ini) for the apache host and restart apache to get anything useful [17:03] it shouldn't be hard to set things as i want them too.... i just don't know what option to type in [17:03] TJ- if i telnet fromt he bash prompt to the remote server:port it connects just fine [17:04] Phinnay: Can you connect to port 8283 on the remote server using something like telnet? That would prove your issue is with PHP/apache [17:04] is why im thinking its an apache permissions issue or something else weird [17:04] Phinnay: You're ahead of me - I like it! :) [17:04] Phinnay: As you obviously know, outgoing ports shouldn't be prevented by policy but they *might* be blocked in the local host firewall? [17:05] lgr79, I am booting Fedora :) [17:05] TJ- i dont belve so, a windows PC running WAMP sitting on the same local network runs the script just fine [17:05] lgr79, it works via console, I created 2 partitions and I can mount via console [17:05] ujjain, OK [17:05] Phinnay: OK... what PHP library function is being used to make the connection? [17:05] TJ- socket_create(); [17:05] ujjain. Are you using the console in Fedora? [17:06] hello everyone...i've got a question regarding animation effects in compiz-fusion ... i would like to set the "burn" effect when closing a window... but only if the window is not maximized.... how do i do that? help please :) i know how to access the editing window, but don't know the option command to enable it only for non-maximized windows [17:06] lgr79, I used console in Ubuntu, it worked fine [17:06] the installer is the problem [17:06] it does not see the hard disk [17:06] Phinnay: Sometimes the local firewall has outgoing rules that block connections outbound from the apache process/user [17:06] aeiou, check in your config file if the default character set to UTF8, because if is UTF-8 maybe can make some error.. [17:07] TJ- I spoke with the PHP channel people and the Apache channel people, both seem to think that its not a problem with their respective software [17:07] Hello. I have a fresh installation of 12.04 and want to get dual monitor support with xmonad. It works with unity right now -- but what configuration files is it that this "Displays" configuration utility is modifying to change the monitor layout, exactly? [17:07] TJ- and i've connected the server directly to our static IP as a test, no router / firewall and it still does not work [17:07] I have an ATI radeon graphics card. [17:07] ujjain, I don't know what might be the problem, but you can try to create a primary partition and a swap partition and check if now the installer see the hdd [17:08] identity: #xmonad would probably be a good channel for that question [17:08] Phinnay: Are there no netfilters rules on the apache server host? Have you checked just-in-case?! ("iptables -nL") [17:09] Phinnay: Have you added code to report the system error that socket_create() is returning? That could give a clue as to what is going wrong more precisely === sonnyjz_ is now known as sonnyjz === hamdan_ is now known as hamdan [17:10] Phinnay: "Use socket_last_error(). This error code may be passed to socket_strerror() to get a textual explanation of the error. " [17:10] == [17:10] == [17:10] TJ- the iptables command shows everything is blank, a socket_last_error() just shows a timeout[104] [17:11] Phinnay: Which suggests its creating the local socket OK [17:11] rhizmoe: Well, to be honest, I'm not entirely sure where to start. Should I start by getting xmonad functional, and *then* get dual-monitor support from there? What exactly is it that manages stuff like displays -- surely it isn't the window manager? [17:11] == whois [17:11] lgr79 I created those partitiions, didn't work, I am going to try see if it's dmraid related [17:12] <|Anthony|> anyone here know how to change the default user session? [17:12] ujjain, OK. Good luck, I can't help you anymore, no more knowledge on my side [17:12] Phinnay: I think its time for tcpdump on the server's outgoing interface to see if it actually is doing SYN SYN-ACK ESTABLISHED [17:12] can anyone help me with deb package building? i have a Qt project like this https://maemo.gitorious.org/maemo-af/qsparql/trees/master with a src folder… how do i create the basics (debian folder). do i must create the tar.gz first? [17:13] ok, i will try that... you are right, if it is getting a timeout than it must be creating the socket.... [17:13] I have it !!

Would it be easyer to just install windows and half unallocated and then install ubuntu? [18:41] HackinBlack: I dual booted on my old PC and it was fine, worked like a breeze. On my new computer I left it "installing" over night and the screen was still blank black so I forced a shut down. When I booting I got the dual boot screen but booting into Linux black screens and nothing happens.

[18:47] TJ-: if it helps, the image I used to make my install disc was ubuntu-12.04.1-alternate-amd64 [18:47] Curious_Cube: Nope [18:47] Kikinaak: I have to match the packages to the kernel version you reported using "uname -a" [18:47] can i download vmware frm software center? [18:48] TJ-: Kikinaak is this what you are looking for? http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise-updates/linux-backports-modules-cw-3.3-3.2.0-31-generic [18:48] its windows based [18:48] Just upgraded to 12.04... have not really had time to previously.

[18:48] Curious_Cube: well since you're on Ubuntu Virtualbox is better, but if you're on Windows WMware rocks. [18:49] Could someone let me know what I've done wrong, with regards to installing Ubuntu on my PC? [18:49] samflynn: скажи [18:49] * iDangerMouse is off to bed [18:49] in virtualbox i kept getting a color error or so when using a 64bit version of windows 7 [18:49] please give me the link of download of WMWare? [18:49] trism: Not exactly. Kikinaak needs to download the .deb that that package depends on, put them on a USB device, and move them to the PC with the bad Wifi (as it has no reliable net) . I'm ensuring Kikinaak has all the packages required, not just the virtual/meta packages [18:49] HackinBlack: Download the 32bit not 64bit ISO, dedicate 1 core, and minimum 1gb [18:50] TJ-: the debs are at the bottom (amd64/i386) [18:50] HackinBlack: Then install the ATI Catalyst from the Software Center [18:50] Hey, when trying to open WoW via Wine, any ideas of a fix for this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1254529/ [18:50] trism: I know. But that package is virtual. I'm also making sure the dependencies are listed for Kikinaak [18:50] wmware for windwos? [18:51] TJ-: it is not virtual [18:51] TJ-: if I'm following this right, what I need is an older version of the wifi driver. should the dependancies not already be in place on the system? [18:52] trism: It is listed as such in launchpad. Weird. It's only 2.6KB in the LP list [18:52] TJ-: and its only deps are linux-image-3.2.0-31-generic and dpkg === jeff_ is now known as Guest55121 [18:52] Kikinaak: No, the opposite. You need a more recent version of the driver that has been built for the older kernel ... hence backports [18:52] I've got a problem with Android [18:53] Well, this is #Ubuntu, but someone might be able to help. [18:53] ah. I believe I follow now [18:54] TJ-: maybe you found the meta package on lp? [18:54] Kikinaak: trism has sorted that out for you. Here's the page to go to. It gives the package details. At the lower-left is a table. click on the "amd64" link and it'll take you to the download. Download the file (a .deb) and save it to a USB stick and transfer it to your bad PC [18:54] When i was on windows and tried installing ubuntu does this seem right. - Windows has the bootloader on a separate partition named "System" ? [18:54] trism: I think I did... I got lost in all the cross-references :D [18:54] trism: thanks for digging me out :p [18:55] ok. thanks to both of you. grabbing that file now. cross fingers [18:55] Kikinaak: I'm even crossing my spaghetti ! [18:56] TJ-: yes the linux-backports can be quite confusing (especially since you would think they would be in -backports but they are in -updates) [18:56] trism: I was cross-referencing directly into http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-meta/ [18:57] trism: those multiple kernel versions in package names made me dizzy === resuremade is now known as resure [19:00] Is there good ZNC ppa?

[19:02] TJ-: just to confirm this deb file is about 2.7 megs? [19:02] Richhh: use a web browser === dbyzero is now known as halfoopss [19:02] Kikinaak: Sounds about right. It'll contain a whole load of kernel modules === wzzrd is now known as mburgerhout [19:02] !persistent | seemycam2007 [19:02] seemycam2007: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [19:02] jrib i want to see up to date info [19:02] Richhh: yes, use a web browser [19:02] i mean how can i see what was just uploaded [19:03] is there a webcam chat on linux? [19:03] for example [19:03] why doesn't middle-click work in scroll bars, for that matter? [19:03] Richhh: the answer is still the same; this has nothing to do with ubuntu [19:03] k === halfoopss is now known as dbyzero [19:03] seemycam2007, skype and google hangout ? there are others also [19:03] Gracenotes: What do you expect from double-clicking a scrollbar? [19:03] but hw abt on ubuntu on pen drive? [19:04] bekks: well, a scroll track. [19:05] in e.g. Firefox or Chrome [19:05] seemycam2007: You'll need to ask an actual question about it here if you want an answer. [19:05] Gracenotes: Ah ok - never used that so far :) [19:05] TJ-: the software center is not letting me install it. giving me a "you likely do not want to install theis package directly" warning and the install button is greyed out === pete__ is now known as cbx33 [19:06] http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o is not found. where else can I get it? [19:06] actually, the laptop's builtin middle click button works. For the mouse that I use, however, the signal doesn't seem to go through [19:06] hum [19:06] Kikinaak: Is that on the 'bad' PC? [19:06] yup. its the only linux box I have [19:07] Kikinaak: OK... just making clear so I don't misdirect you. We don't want software center at all. [19:07] it says "please install "package name" via your normal software channels. it would be about as helpful to tell me to grow wings and fly [19:07] Kikinaak: What you need to do is start a Terminal (dash, type "Terminal" or Ctrl+Alt+T) and at a command line give an instruction to install the package [19:08] ok. whats the command? [19:08] Kikinaak: Do you know the directory name where the file is? It'll probably be something like "/media/XYZ/" [19:08] Kikinaak: What you do is "sudo dpkg -i " [19:09] I moved it to my home folder [19:09] Hello I'm having black screen problems with the dual boot Ubuntu. There's not enough space here to explain all the details, but trying to just re-install Ubuntu doesn't work. What'd be the best cause of action? [19:10] Kikinaak: OK, so "sudo dpkg -i " since by default the Terminal starts in your home directory [19:10] TJ-: Is there a way to change that default path? [19:11] bekks: default path for what? a terminal? Well I guess you'd just alter it in the ~/.bashrc [19:11] yup. also renamed the bloody thing "installme.deb". my fingers aint as acrobatic as they used to me [19:11] TJ-: The default path where a terminal starts [19:11] bekks: You can pass gnome-terminal "--working-directory=..." [19:12] Kikinaak: Nice naming convention :p [19:12] Kikinaak: Once it is installed a reboot should be enough to ensure the newer driver gets loaded [19:12] heh thanks. reboot in progress [19:14] Gracenotes: I found the bug for your track-scroll issue, finally! bug #508754 [19:14] Launchpad bug 489830 in gpointing-device-settings (Ubuntu) "duplicate for #508754 Settings of gpointing-device-settings are non-persistent" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/489830 [19:17] TJ-: no love. same issue, it asks for the key, takes a moment, says its connected, then a moment later says disconnected. === sigurd is now known as Guest31929 [19:17] Kikinaak: OK, that is likely related to the NetworkManager causing repeated scans. I noticed there's a way to stop that.

Has anyone some troubles with copy/past in Ubuntu 12.04? Sometimes ctrl+c / ctrl+v doesn't work (it could be in a one program, geany for example) so it makes me use context menu that feels annoying. [19:20] Kikinaak: Could you copy "/var/log/syslog" to the USB device, over to your Windows PC, open it in notepad, then paste it to http://paste.ubuntu.com [19:21] resure: Nice one! I bet you're relieved now, after all that effort [19:21] Kikinaak: I have to go do dinner now, I'll likely be about 45 minutes. Send me a private message with the URL of the pastebin and I'll look when I return [19:22] Kikinaak: (unless someone else can take over) [19:22] TJ-: theres syslog and syslog.1. which you need? [19:22] TJ-: yes) [19:22] Kikinaak: unless "syslog" is almost empty, that's all I need. [19:23] TJ-: ok will post. thanks much for the help. enjoy dinner. [19:23] This PPA will not work under 12.10: [19:23] http://pastie.org/4790702 [19:23] help me please [19:24] Does the maintainer say it should work under 12.10? [19:24] hello [19:24] seednode, i have no idea [19:24] somebody here? [19:24] kennstdunich: also, its a bad idea to expect much from Beta's, i suggest you wait for the official release [19:24] Well, it might not have been updated to work in 12.10. [19:25] k0dyl, yes, there are people here. [19:25] hi amm [19:26] okay thanks for the reply [19:26] sorry, problem with app [19:27] Brasero didn't get done making a checksum after hours ;-; pleas, please relieve my pain :C [19:27] Hey, is there a great advantage to using the 64 bit version of ubuntu? [19:28] resure: you pinch hitting for TJ? [19:28] Thank you for fixing stupid too. [19:28] Kikinaak: what? [19:29] ah sorry, misread a reply you made to him [19:29] daydrake, if you have more than 4gigs of RAM on your system, 64bit machine can utilize more than 4gigs [19:29] im tired [19:31] !multiarch | DayDrake [19:31] !info multiarch | DayDrake [19:31] DayDrake: Package multiarch does not exist in precise [19:31] useless bots [19:31] I just added myself to a group, why can't I see this with the 'groups' command?

[19:32] !msgthebot > WeThePeople [19:32] WeThePeople, please see my private message [19:32] blueskaj, see above [19:32] I have a dell laptop with 12.04 installed and only when I boot in to ubuntu does my fan alternate from very high speed to low speed in 1 second intervals. It can get quite annoying. I have noticed it doesn't do this in windows or osx (hackintosh) does anyone have any insight in to this and possibly a fix? [19:33] Gycklarn, have you reboot your system after add? [19:33] WeThePeople, the factoids should be there for mulitarch support [19:34] Looking for a hardware suggestion on a PCI-E jbod controller for Sata-III drives. Does anyone have one that they absolutely love or know of any to absolutely avoid? [19:35] wino, #hardware may have a answer [19:35] I'm looking for something to work with ubuntu [19:35] DayDrake , if you have more than 4G RAM then 64bit may be noticeable performance-wise , but I use it anyway just to be up to date [19:36] wino, looking for something ? === g_byers[Away] is now known as g_byers [19:37] I'm trying to access a Samba share. I'm able to type smb://ip.to.server in the "address field" in Nautilus and when I do I see the share I want to open/connect to. BUt when I double click it all I see is "Unable to mount location. Failed to mount Windows share" - How can I get more information on what went wrong? [19:37] wino: hardware RAID? [19:38] wino: hardware RAID is perfectly okay, if you keep backups of all your data *and* have spare controller cards [19:38] wino: unless you can afford at least two spare controller cards, don't bother [19:38] osse, look here http://oss.sgi.com/LDP/HOWTO/SMB-HOWTO-8.html [19:38] hardware RAID is just about the most effective way of permanently losing data I've ever seen [19:39] lol gordonjcp [19:39] it might be accurate, even [19:39] Mir09: thanks [19:39] osse, :) [19:40] Como|work: well, if your controller dies, you're *stuffed* [19:40] mount shows i have a ton of devices mounted on 'none' already, but when i try to mount something to 'none' i get mount: special device none does not exist. anyone have any thoughts? [19:40] Mir09, I have now. I was hoping it would not be necessary. [19:40] Yep. Especially when its a 6 year old noname card. [19:40] if you can find an identical controller with identical firmware, you've got about a 50/50 chance of it working again [19:41] Gycklarn, now work? [19:41] can someone help me install Ubuntu on Asus eee 1025CE? I want to install it beside windows but I have only 2 options in the installer 1. Replace windows 2. Other. I read some reviews that this hardware is not yet fully supported by Linux as intel is not releasing drivers to the open-source community. Does anyone have any insights? [19:41] I've had good luck with expensive cards (e.g. the ones HP will sell and warantee) picking up where failed cards left off [19:41] and I'm talking about costs-five-figures cards from a International company that makes Business Machines [19:41] Mir09, Well, I am added to the group, but I'm still unable to do what I was hoping for... but that's another issue [19:41] gordonjcp: sorry, mostly looking at jbod, I want to add a bunch of SSDs [19:41] so RAID isn't going to work well unless I can do jbod [19:42] wino: softraid [19:42] then they're doing it wrong. At that cost you might as well buy a san. [19:42] err, a raid card isn't going to work well unless I can configure it in jbod [19:42] Yes- software raid. MDADM works great. [19:42] not looking for raid at all [19:42] but raid cards often support jbod [19:42] wino: tried just using LVM? [19:42] iirc trim doesn't work [19:42] when ssds are on a raid controller [19:42] but I don't need RAID, I don't need raid functionallity [19:43] trim won't work on any software raid devices or lvm volumes [19:43] I basically need a Sata-III controller [19:43] right. [19:43] however you can buy raid cards that support it on the hardware raid disks [19:43] Not looking for raid. [19:43] JBOD [19:43] same as a regular vanilla controller [19:43] most raid cards will allow you run in jbod mode [19:43] but I don't know of any sata-III jbod/controller cards [19:43] but the raid cards will be better quality [19:43] right [19:43] wino: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:43] Gycklarn, I don't uderstand well.. you have add you user to a group but it don't work? [19:43] I'm looking for suggestions [19:43] wino: I'd suggest taking it to ##hardware, some smart / up to date guys in there on hardware [19:43] Anyone saw my msg? : / [19:44] ikonia: I'm looking specifically for ubuntu support though [19:44] wino: well, the linux chipsets are well documented, so any one who uses those will be quite safe [19:44] Mir09, heh, sorry if I confuse you. I am indeed added to the group. I'm rabbling. [19:44] ikonia: I disagree. [19:45] wino: disagree with what ? [19:45] Gycklarn, ok :) [19:45] linux chipsets being well documented. That's kind of the reverse way to look, and my experience with Free/OpenBSD is the exact opposite. Just because it works on one doesn't mean it works on the other [19:45] I am looking for a card to run in an ubuntu box [19:46] Mir09: didn't help me much though :( I'm running samba on my router using openwrt. [19:46] wino: then you're taking the wrong approach, ubuntu is linux - the linux kernel's disk controller chipsets, especially on raid cards is well documented [19:46] figured ##ubuntu might have experience with a raid/controller card that works with ubuntu [19:46] When I try to run WoW I get this error message before it loads, it loads up eventually but then it is very choppy and freezes a lot, could someone help? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1254654/ I've been posting this for days hoping someone would be online who could help, but evidently to no avail, I've also tried posting to #winehq with the same result. [19:46] wino: getting one of the supported chipsets is the simple way of resolving it [19:46] !raid | wino [19:46] wino: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [19:46] wino: you won't find one with specific ubuntu support. [19:47] that's why I was asking if anyone had any experience with them [19:47] jbods generally just work [19:47] wino: and as different ubuntu version have different linux kernels (and therefore potentially changing hardware support) you need to treat each one as a different distro the same as fedora, or debian etc [19:47] asking for knowledgeable suggestions [19:47] I've got integrated Graphics card on my motherboard and my question is how to see what brand and model is, then where to find drivers becuz I am 100% in that, that the particular GPU isn't ATI or NVIDIA [19:47] hello peoples [19:47] sayers: lspci [19:47] wino: yes, and I've given you one, the raid controllers are well documented in their chipset support, anyone of the cards that uses those chipsets should be fine, however check it against the specific kernel you are going to use [19:47] I need help please [19:48] Hi can somebody give me some assistance.I have run apt-get install libxml2 and I was expecting /usr/lib/libmxl2.so to be created [19:48] somebody can read me [19:48] ThinkT510 i'll give a try [19:48] ikonia: no, you basically told me to go away [19:48] am I missing something? [19:48] wino: no I didn't [19:48] comando: then you need to explain the issue [19:48] Running Apache 2.2 on Ubuntu 12.04 [19:48] I'm looking for someone with experience with a sata-III controller card that works with ubuntu [19:48] you keep telling me to go away [19:48] wino: if you ask ##hardware for suggestions on cards with the well documented linux chipset, you'll get good results [19:48] osse, http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/cifs.server [19:48] I've done a find / -name 'xmllib2.so' but it finds nothing by that name [19:48] wino: I'm not telling you to go away [19:48] ikonia: if you can't help, that's fine, but please stop highlighting me [19:48] I have an inspiron with ubuntu 12.04 and experience random freezes. dmesg, messages and xorg.0.log do not contain any errors, kerneloops does not seem to have any information either. Any hint on how to tackle this? [19:48] please I need help [19:49] but apt-get install libxml2 says that it is already installed [19:49] comando: the answer is in ##hardware, probably [19:49] comando: you haven't asked a question yet. [19:49] wino: don't do that. [19:49] wino: I'm advising you that the raid controllers have well documented supported chipsets, eg: the LSI and the 3wares, if you look in ##hardware and ask for advice on supported chipsers, such as the LSI/3ware model cards, you'll get good response [19:49] wino what do you say [19:49] Picci I need help in OSSIM system [19:49] ikonia: that is the most detailed response that you've given so far [19:49] it's between Intel Corporation 82801 or Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER , not sure which one is the GPU and AGP bridge :D [19:50] wino: it's the same response I've given you 3 times [19:50] thanks, where was that info 10 minutes ago? [19:50] I told you 3 times [19:50] you did not mention any specific brands [19:50] "go to ##hardware" [19:50] wino: because they may not be supported now [19:50] great, thanks. [19:50] but they are well documented [19:50] thanks again for whatever [19:50] comando: what is OSSIM? [19:50] so if you check the documentation as I've suggested, and then ask on those chipsets you'll get a good response in ##hardware [19:50] is a system based in debian [19:50] Picci [19:51] Picci is a system based in debian [19:51] ikonia: I am asking for anyone with any personal experience [19:51] not sure how that line keeps getting lost [19:51] wino: http://forums.smallnetbuilder.com/showthread.php?t=1738 this is an older thread but it may give you some leads [19:51] wino: yes, but the personal experience will vary depending on distro and disk type [19:51] Kikinaak: ty [19:51] hi, i just got the live version of ubuntu onto a USB stick, and i was wondering if it's possible to modify that, install other apps, etc? I'm not sure how the root filesystem is handled [19:51] Mir09: oh I've read that page so many times. I've been struggling with this for days now. [19:51] wino, please; #ubuntu supports Ubuntu specific questions, yours is kernel related only [19:51] comando: This channel is for Ubuntu support only. Please use OSSIM's support or try to ask in #debian, although they'll likely tell you the same thing. [19:51] hardware suggestions are not off topic in ##ubuntu as far as I understand [19:52] Mir09: I'm able to mount it using smbmount as root. But that just chowns the mount point and makes it unbrowsable for everyone else (ie. me) [19:52] mschr: is that incorrect? [19:52] Picci Thank my friend [19:52] wino i dont know but youre spamming my client.. [19:52] wino: ikonia knows what hes talking about, and so do the folks in ##hardware. We're just telling you where you are likely to get answers fastest. [19:53] or the best way to get a great answer, I'm not going to research cards, but if you ask about the specific supported chipsets, you'll get a good follow on response in ##hardware [19:53] ikonia, i have ubuntu working :) [19:53] WeThePeople: ??? why are you telling me this ? [19:53] !yay | WeThePeople [19:53] WeThePeople: Glad you made it! :-) [19:53] is anybody running Serviio?

[20:03] I have run apt-get install libxml2 but it has not given me the file I need. [20:03] any ideas ? [20:03] I was hoping to have /usr/lib/libxml2.so [20:03] ziggyzero: how do you know that is the right package [20:04] !find /usr/lib/libxml2.so [20:04] Package/file /usr/lib/libxml2.so does not exist in precise [20:04] oops [20:04] ikonia: Hi that website that you pointed me to said so [20:04] which website ? [20:04] (sorry I don't remember) [20:04] ziggyzero: libxml2-dev [20:04] ikonia: Also when I start Apache it complains [20:04] its maybe loading something that expects that to be in a library path [20:05] osse, is very strange.. when you mount samba it become unbrowsable.. yur configuration is correct? [20:05] ziggyzero: what website, I didn't point you at a website [20:05] SolarisBox: I have installed that too. I needed the headers to build mod_proxy_html [20:05] ziggyzero: what are you trying to do ? [20:05] ziggyzero mine is @ /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libxml2.so [20:05] Mir09: I don't know if it's correct. I've checked everything a million times. [20:06] thats where it seems to go in libxml2-dev as well [20:06] ziggyzero: I've just read the scroll back in #httpd and it seems you totally ignored everything I told you and just asked how to build mod_proxy 3.1 [20:06] is the program using the library path or is it statically looking in a folder? [20:06] ikonia: If you remember I am wanting to proxy traffic through apache. I needed to build v3.1 manually as the ubuntu repo only has v3.0.11 [20:06] Mir09: I also tried 'sudo smbmount smb://ip/share -o uid=osse,gid=osse,...' but still the mount point becomes owned by root [20:06] mschr, ha interesting. Thanks. [20:06] ziggyzero: no - you didn't need to build it [20:06] ziggyzero: that's why I said you didn't do anything I told you [20:06] ziggyzero: I told you to ask in #httpd how to get what you wanted out the current module [20:07] ziggyzero: instead you just joined and blindly asked how to build the module [20:07] ikonia: Now built and added but now complaining that the xmlfile is missing [20:07] ziggyzero: then it's your problem - you built it [20:07] ziggyzero: this is why I told you not to build it [20:07] ikonia: wait a moment. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html [20:08] ikonia: Only the HTTP response headers specifically mentioned above will be rewritten. Apache will not rewrite other response headers, nor will it rewrite URL references inside HTML pages. This means that if the proxied content contains absolute URL references, they will by-pass the proxy. A third-party module that will look inside the HTML and rewrite URL references is Nick Kew's mod_proxy_html. [20:08] sorry- I disagree [20:08] ikonia: The apache website says that it is only available via the 3rd party module, hence why I needed to do it [20:08] ziggyzero: you'r obssesed with a function in mod_proxy 3.1 rather than trying to get the functionality you want [20:09] list [20:09] ziggyzero: well, you've built the module, so I suggest you start trouble shooting it [20:10] ziggyzero 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH' [20:10] ikonia: I'm not that's the ProxyPassReverse function and it doesn't rewrite url refs inside html. Hence the need for the 3rd part mod [20:10] ziggyzero: contact the person who wrote that 3rd party module then [20:10] he will help you [20:10] hi does kodak hate linux re printers? [20:11] mschr: Are you reading this? Is ikonia correct? Have I completely mis-understood why I needed mod_proxy_html [20:11] <_UsUrPeR_> hey all [20:11] <_UsUrPeR_> trying to figure out how to get apt to use a proxy in 12.04 [20:12] no idea, havent read what you need libxml for tbh [20:12] <_UsUrPeR_> I am able to auto-detect proxy with firefox [20:12] <_UsUrPeR_> but not sure how to do anything with apt-get [20:12] i installed 12.04 for a friend and they are unable to get the printer to work - i also cannot find any linux drivers - the model is esp 1.2 [20:12] hi, i have problems trying to log in to my system, i am using ubuntu 11.04, i only see this massage: mountall: fail order plymouth. mountall: disconected from plymouth from disk /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 not ready or not present. -Help please [20:12] osse, have you add your user to sambashare into /etc/group ?

[20:16] _UsUrPeR_ guntbert : create /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02proxy [20:16] Thanks mschr, SolarisBoy and ikonia. Found it at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxml2.so as mschr said [20:17] ichilton: What do you mean, "en_US instead of UTF-8"? The locales are "language-country.coding", so "en_US.UTF-8" is valid... === Janos_ is now known as Janos [20:17] hi [20:17] Gracenotes: Was that relevant? I thought afterwards it might not be entirely what you meant, but I've also been wondering where the scroll-wheel-press smooth scroller tracker icon/operation has got to! [20:17] _UsUrPeR_ maybe with another priority [20:17] cool.. [20:17] <_UsUrPeR_> mschr: got it [20:17] <_UsUrPeR_> thanks [20:18] <_UsUrPeR_> mschr: a further question: I can't resolve any external addresses from terminal even though apt-get is now operational.

[20:19] ziggyzero then, LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/" RUN_CMD - but you have probably failed in linking correctly during compile build [20:19] that's good [20:19] _UsUrPeR_ same, http_proxy, use 'export http_proxy="whatever-addr"' in your ~/.bashrc [20:20] mschr: sorry you have lost me. Ikonia will tell you that's easy to do. [20:20] TJ-: I'm not sure if this is the same as instantaneous click-to-relocate? [20:20] I think this might be an issue with my USB mouse rather than mice in general === saint_ is now known as Guest64557 [20:21] o [20:22] ziggyzero: no, I won't tell you that's easy to do, and the smart mouth won't inspire people to help., However it does suggest you need a basic understanding of what you are doing [20:23] ikonia: Sorry crossed wire I think. I meant ikonia will tell you that it's easy to 'lose me'. I wasn't saying anything about you. Apologies if it came across wrong. [20:23] how to use this ubuntu server?

[20:36] Yes [20:36] i have unallcated space [20:36] from windows installation only half hdd [20:37] hackinblack: how big is the hard disk ? [20:37] the problem i ran into before is that when i tried the side by side, it installs but then has a error of grub cant install bootloader here and so it gives me option to install elsewhere and i do that but when i restart it just loads right into windows [20:38] hackinblack: how big is the hard disk ? [20:38] the hdd total 600GB [20:38] Hi! Can someone tell me how to print black and white / greyscale under Ubuntu 12.04? [20:38] hackinblack: how many hard disks do you have in your machine ? [20:38] I have only one [20:38] i have external 130GB hdd though [20:38] hackinblack: ok, so it wants to go on the "master boot record" of that machine [20:38] hackinblack: unplug the external hard disk [20:39] I did that [20:39] no external is connected [20:39] ok - so you need to partion your disk with the manual partition option in the ubuntu installer [20:39] hackinblack: create an ubuntu and swap partition [20:39] I am at the screen where it says do i want to install ubuntu side by side or replace windows 7 oir something else [20:39] hackinblack, sounds like remnants of a uefi install at one time may be evident or other variables.

[20:40] Well what do i do now [20:40] hello world [20:40] ikonia, At this point no but remnants from earlier installs not cleared from the HD can cause this problem, just some suggestions on their failure in the past.

[21:13] hopefully the system is hosed to the extent that it doesn't allow me to create a user. [21:13] i'm very new [21:13] thats what shows if i select free space and click install [21:14] Xabster: xfce is a good choice [21:14] Hey guys [21:14] since when is Online Accounts in 12.04? [21:14] guys [21:14] hello [21:14] hackinblack: that's because there's nothing defined for ubuntu to install to in "free space" [21:14] hackinblack: Sorry. Got to do some work. Be back in a bit. Have Cyberspaceloa help you okay [21:14] Xabster, there are other desktops and docks. [21:14] LinuxSpatry, didn't expect to see you here. [21:14] i am promoting ubuntu in youtube [21:14] Ok so cyber what do i do [21:14] hackinblack: "free space" means nothing can install there [21:14] wilee-nilee, yeah i know that but which should i take? [21:14] Xabster there's also faalback/classic mode [21:15] when i double click on free space shows partition add [21:15] menu [21:15] I have a ntfs formatted usb hard disk, /dev/sdc1 at the moment, and want to automount it at boot. It seems I must do a manual replug of the device for it to "see" the disk, it automounts it as /media/Seagate when I do. I snagged the uuid of the disk and put it in /etc/fstab, but like I said it doesn't see it without a manual replug and I'm forced to "press S to skip" at grub boot. Any suggestions? [21:15] i have two foldes which are almost equal (think two copies of wordpress). How can i, from the command line, walk through each file in dir a and diff it with the corresponding file in dir b? [21:15] u people should see my ubuntu bootcamp [21:15] Freespace is not the same as 'unallocated' space [21:15] hackinblack: keep in mind that I am not familiar with the newer graphical install tools okay [21:15] LinuxSpatry, though you might want to try another channel, you'll get told to take that elsewhere as this is purely support. [21:15] but i dont know what mount point i do [21:15] MonkeyDust: i got "ubuntu" and "ubuntu 2d" to choose from [21:15] Xabster, That would be your decision really, check through a few and decide what you like> [21:15] hackinblack: I may bungle this a bit. However, the tools I've used in the past don't commit changes right away [21:15] hackinblack: this is for an install? or what exactly? [21:15] Xabster you can install fallback/classic, it's very similar to gnome2 [21:15] hackinblack: if you're still willing to proceed with me, I'll do my best [21:16] for dual boot [21:16] install of ubuntu part [21:16] congrats to canonical i love unity [21:16] i am promoting ubuntu [21:16] in my videos [21:16] cyber what should i put as the mount point [21:16] ? [21:16] for the freespace [21:16] people are getting windows free ffinally [21:16] hackinblack: you have some options when it comes to partitioning [21:16] LinuxSpatry, This is support for questions not your decelerations [21:16] hackinblack: you need 2 partions, one for / and one for swap [21:17] hackinblack: you can install / as the mount point and that's it [21:17] Do i have to have swap? [21:17] hackinblack: I can't make out the detail too well in that photo you posted, but I *think* the issue is you have freespace between partitions 1 and 2... so gparted has no way to allocate that space. The error it reports seems to be a misnomer because you've confused it [21:17] no ic ame here just to congratulate [21:17] hackinblack: and one for swap as dr_willis says [21:17] hackinblack: you need a swap [21:17] Is there a channel where one can ask questions about smartphones? === geek_ is now known as c_smith_ [21:17] hackinblack: i suggest making swap partiion. yes. equal to ram in most cases [21:17] hackinblack: it should be at least the size of your ram [21:17] Guest85580, Ubuntu related yes [21:17] dr_willis: is there a wiki on partitioning schemes? [21:17] can anyone assist me please? [21:18] * sssilver looks around [21:18] ok so create 2 partitions from that free space? [21:18] Cyberspaceloa: never needed one.. ;) [21:18] in the format of ext4 [21:18] the 12.10 Online accounts isn't supposed to be in 12.04, is it? [21:18] hacknblack: yes that should be fine [21:18] hackinblack: you can also make a logical partition for /home [21:18] wilee-nilee, no. Not Ubuntu related. I bought a Samsung Galaxy Ace Smartphone and want to know how I can add mp3 to it from Ubuntu so I can use it as an mp3 player. [21:18] hackinblack: this has the benefit of separating a lot of your data from system upgrades [21:19] So again this is what im doing i only have 200GB to put in ubuntu / swap [21:19] Guest85580, If this is an android try #android [21:19] I am doing 170GB for / mount point ext4 a [21:19] wilee-nilee, yes it is thx [21:19] and creating another for say 10GB? [21:19] for swap [21:19] ? [21:19] hackinblack: 10gb for swap is huge.. [21:19] hackinblack: how much ram do you have? [21:19] IDC [21:19] i have 8GB [21:20] sssilver, The works as a stetement of your problem for help. ;) [21:20] statement*] [21:20] most likely you wont need any swap. but 8gb would be plenty. [21:20] wilee-nilee: After I create a bootable USB and select any of the 3 options at the boot menu ("Install Ubuntu", "Try ubuntu", "check disk for errors"), I get a blank black screen with nothing happening and no r/w activity on my USB flash. What gives?? [21:20] swap = ram if you want to hibernate/suspend the system [21:21] sssilver: tried the 'nomodeset' option yet? [21:21] I dont care for hibernate / suspend [21:21] !nomodeset > sssilver [21:21] sssilver, please see my private message [21:21] sssilver, May be a bad load to the usb, check the md5sum of the ISO as well, the memory check should work. [21:22] ok so now i have 3 partitions [21:22] 2 for windows/ windows system partition? idk what that is. and then about 200GB ext4 primary partition for ubuntu on the / mount point does this seem right? [21:23] hi ubuntu [21:23] hackinblack: should be good, but I recommend a swap [21:23] hackinblack type sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit and paste the url here [21:23] hackinblack: if others in here say you don't need it, then it's up to you [21:23] MonkeyDust: he's partitioning to install [21:24] should of been a extended first to contain the logical ext4 and the swap [21:24] libya [21:24] what is the purpose of swap? just for hibernate and suspend? [21:24] wilee-nilee: nomodeset didn't help [21:24] i have 9GB left of free space [21:24] wilee-nilee: check disk doesn't work for the same reason [21:24] !swap > hackinblack [21:24] hackinblack, please see my private message [21:24] and the MD5sum of what I've downloaded doesn't match the one written here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes#A12.04_LTS [21:24] All my server's ports suddenly closed after restart. I haven't changed iptables config. What can it be? It only respond to ping. [21:24] although my filename is different too.. [21:24] how [21:24] sssilver, What did you load the usb with? Have you run a md5sum on the ISO? [21:24] ubuntu won't stop dimming/suspending wtf [21:24] i've tried to change the settings to 1 hour, to never, everything [21:25] and after 10 min it goes dim/suspends [21:25] wtf is wrong with this [21:25] alright ubottu so i create new partition for swap. should this be primary or logical and what mount point? [21:25] hp printer [21:25] hackinblack: any type. filesystemis swap. and it does not have a mountpoint [21:25] aguadito, acronyms are not accepted on this channel, and will cause people to not answer you as well [21:25] Hey, I'm trying to install syslinux from an arch partition I've chrooted into, however, when I run the command syslinux-install_update -iam, I get the error that It cannot find /proc/self/mountinfo \n Are you running a kernel greater than 2.6.24? The answer is yes, but that has not stopped installing and updating syslinux before [21:26] ciao [21:26] wilee-nilee: I've used Universal USB Installer [21:26] people weren't answering me before anyway wil [21:26] also WTF isn't an acronym it's an initialism [21:26] thank you [21:26] timtimtim: what are you installing syslinux to exactly? [21:26] sssilver, I would check the md5sum and try unstbootin [21:26] yes [21:26] ok so will it automaticly know with this menu my swap partition?\ [21:27] !md5sum > sssilver [21:27] sssilver, please see my private message [21:27] hackinblack: the installer should know/add it to the fstab yes. [21:27] hi [21:27] sssilver, Sorry unetbootin [21:27] hackinblack: it will if you choose swap as the filesystem, as dr_willis said [21:27] The config file is in the boot folder of my Arch partition, and I believe it is being installed to the mbr [21:27] For the swap it says i must have mount point or it will not use it at all [21:27] .. [21:28] timtimtim: what/why are you installing syslinux to somthing exactly? [21:28] I have the option of / , /boot , / home, /tmp , ect [21:28] hackinblack: set its filesystem to be swap and it wont want a mountpoint. [21:28] hackinblack: if you choose "filesystem: swap area".. under filesystem, the mount point option will disappear [21:28] dr how? [21:29] I cant see your screen.. so no idea. ;) [21:29] Because grub2 has been hell to configure, can't seem to find my other partitions, and personal preference [21:29] hackinblack: do you have 1 big empty partition right now? [21:29] AWWWHWHH the format it has swap so i put it to that [21:29] ok. [21:29] I got the swap now [21:29] correct [21:29] timtimtim: i dont think syslinux will work well as a replacement for grub2, im not even sure it will work properly with any updates and auto configureing of the kernel. [21:30] its installing. Please guys pray this works lol [21:30] hackinblack: you should be fine [21:30] timtimtim, With some other OS's present they need to be mounted when you run a update-grub fedora 17 is one and I believe arch as well. [21:30] timtimtim: Deviating from grub2 is just a bad idea. [21:30] bbl. [21:30] heh [21:30] syslinux eh [21:30] hackinblack: did you set up the "/" partition? [21:30] timtimtim,If grub control is in ubuntu and the update run from there [21:31] ive only used syslinux on live-usb type drives, or bootable cds. [21:31] I believe that requires a FAT partition to grab the boot files off, which is frankly madness [21:31] yes for ubuntu [21:31] I use extlinux [21:31] Dont tell me thats wrong [21:31] ok [21:31] no, thats fine [21:31] KM0201: he did, on a primary [21:31] do *not* use extlinux just because I do [21:31] ok [21:31] the mere fact that I use it ought to be enough to warn you off! [21:31] Cyberspaceloa: i figured since dr. was helping him [21:31] KM0201: someone almost advised him to do the side by side option after leaving unallocated space [21:31] Eh, grub2 rapes my brain. Syslinux is also extlinux now (Since syslinux 4) [21:32] Cyberspaceloa: lmao... didn't need to go over that again thank goodness [21:32] Ill try mounting and updating grub. [21:32] did thatguy ever finally listen to someone with some sense? [21:32] KM0201: yeah. [21:32] KM0201: I hope so, I feel kind of bad === hamdan_ is now known as hamdan [21:32] TJ-: can you help me? Few minutes [21:32] eh, it happens... i knew immediately what his problem was, but he kept just blowing me off and listening to other people, then complainning when what they said wouldn't work..lol Cyberspaceloa [21:33] resuremade: what've you done now? :p [21:33] KM0201: Also, "Something Else" is a terrible term for manual partitioning [21:33] Cyberspaceloa: you'll get no argument from me on that [21:33] Cyberspaceloa: i was tempted to file a bug report on the use of 'somthing else' ;) [21:33] Cyberspaceloa: i believe back in the day, it used to say "manual"... or something like that [21:33] dr_willis: lol [21:33] Cyberspaceloa: i still cant figure out how to make the system auto partion and use a whole SECOND hard drive on my 2 hd systems... [21:33] yes km0201 you where right on the side by side not using unallocated space [21:34] well i gotta run. [21:34] hackinblack: i know i was.... (are you the guy from last night?) [21:34] i thought the name was "XDEV" or something like that [21:34] nope? [21:34] TJ-: don't know) Server suddenly closed ALL ports (I didn't change any configs before that). I want to connect rescue image, but don't know what to check. [21:34] oh ok. [21:34] haha [21:34] http://www.funny-pics.biz/fun/pic961.jpg [21:34] TJ-: it only responds to ping [21:34] The sweater really sells it. [21:35] hackinblack: several people last night were trying to tell me i didn't know what i was talking about, when in reality, i was the only one who had completely read his situation (granted, he was pretty annoying, so i twas easy to get sidetracked by his nonsense) [21:35] lol, [21:35] resuremade: What were you doing immediately prior to the ports going AWOL? [21:35] KM0201: I had no idea what he was asking. [21:35] i was actually hoping to see him today, and i was going to offer to help him AGAIN... i figured after a few more failed installs, he'd listen [21:35] KM0201: probably should have just stayed quiet like I usually do [21:35] Cyberspaceloa: honestly, the only reason I did, is because I know the ubuntu installer almost by heart [21:36] i just haven't used the live cd installer in so long, i had the wording on the "something else" screwed up === g_byers is now known as g_byers[Away] [21:36] Km you know the new one? alot of people here didn't know how this i guess "New" installer works [21:36] TJ-: chatting in irc via that server. There also nginx with some redirections on it. [21:37] Hey, I got this error when running grub-install "/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?).", any idea? [21:37] hackinblack: it's important to get a handle on the basic terminology because the graphical tools change so often [21:37] I bet [21:37] hackinblack: if its really new, no... probably not... i almost always use the text installer... i usually check live cd's in virtualbox and try to stay abreast on their changes so i can help folsk here [21:37] resuremade: Look at the log-files /var/log/* around the time it disconnected - there should be clues [21:38] TJ-: ok. Last access to nginx was at [01/Oct/2012:21:15:37 +0200]. [21:39] How do I install Skype? I tried Ubuntu Software Center, but it says not found once I add the sources. I tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype, and same. That page says that Skype's web page has the wrong 64-bit version, so I'm not trying Skype's page. [21:39] hackinblack: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/i386/non-debian-partitioning.html [21:39] blargg: did you refresh the package index 'sudo apt-get update' after adding the new repos? === hamdan_ is now known as hamdan [21:39] resuremade: check the syslog, kern.log, auth.log, network.log [21:40] ls3: I tried that but it complains that I need to list out the files individually. [21:40] watch just watch [21:41] hackinblack: are you multibooting various versions of linux, or windows/linux, or what? [21:41] And now suddenly Software Center doesn't say not found anymore, it has an Install button. So solved. [21:41] just win/linux [21:42] Why do you ask? [21:42] hello. I have grub fail after Kubuntu 12.04 System Update. There is "GNU GRUB version 1.99-21ubuntu3.4" and just grub> prompt [21:42] how to recover Kubuntu? [21:42] hackinblack: just curious, no real reason [21:43] install is complete now lets see if this actually worked.. [21:43] it should have [21:43] im praying it did [21:44] there's only one reason it wouldn't have, and you'd already hit install before I could mention it.. but i think you'll be ok [21:44] on restart it boots directly into windows -_- [21:44] KM0201: talking about SuckuROM? [21:44] ciao [21:44] list [21:44] any fix for that? [21:44] hackinblack: i was afraid of that [21:44] It booting directly into windows [21:45] you likely didn't tell it where to install grub [21:45] Do i have to do all that over again :(? [21:45] KM0201: his screen cap said /dev/sda [21:45] there's probably a way to install grub w/o all that.. but honestly.. i'm not really sure how. [21:45] http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/hh532/NGUH1/DSCF0161_zps3f2160c6.jpg [21:45] I told it to install grub where i installed ubuntu [21:45] ah [21:46] hackinblack: where was that?.. sda3 or 4 i assume? [21:46] sda3 [21:46] yup, thats why it failed [21:46] X-Raimo, You have a live cd? [21:46] where should have i ? [21:46] it needs to be eithe ron a boot partition (i never do that) or on the mbr.. [21:46] hackinblack: exactly where the default was.. /dev/sda [21:47] jeSsSSSSus [21:47] is there a way to do [21:47] ah im tired man [21:47] !gfrub [21:47] hackinblack: searching for forum threads/tutorials right now === hamdan__ is now known as hamdan [21:47] !grub [21:47] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [21:47] or ubottu could just do it [21:47] Ill try it one last time, [21:48] i believe there's a grub install utility in the repositories, that you can use on the live cd, hold on just a sec hackinblack [21:48] wilee-nilee: only flash stick [21:48] ok [21:48] hackinblack: you can likely install it to the correct partition [21:48] Can you help find it? i have no idea [21:48] TJ-: that's all. Maybe it's iptables problem again? === ross is now known as Guest87862 [21:48] im booting up live cd and try ubuntu option [21:48] X-Raimo, with the live cd on it? This was not a install fro windows right? Notice two questions here. [21:48] hackinblack: Cyberspaceloa https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing look under "installation options live cd" [21:49] resuremade: Look at syslog. There's loads of UFW BLOCK messages for all connections [21:49] Is there a good reason that archive.ubuntu.com is listed before security.ubuntu.com in the 10.04 /etc/apt/sources.list? Will weird or bad things happen if I reverse those lines? Nagios doesn't detect security upgrades unless I do so, but I want to make sure it doesn't mess with my ability to update. [21:49] wilee-nilee: I found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12262958, but grub says: "invalid file name vmlinuz" [21:49] Can someone help me? im trying to use cinnamon desktop but when i log in, my screen says "out of range" is there any way i can log in with a certain resolution? [21:49] wait, nevermind. [21:49] that seems to be when you're actually installing [21:49] !nomodeset | Guest87862 [21:49] Guest87862: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [21:50] wilee-nilee: with live cd. Grub failed after update+reboot [21:50] TJ-: oh, you're right. [21:50] yea i was looking what about reinstalling grub [21:50] resuremade: Are any of those block reports for your IP address (your client, not that server) ? [21:50] hackinblack: hold on, there's a way to do it, i believe its a utility in the repositories [21:50] why doesnt alt tab work in ubuntu [21:51] TJ-: yes, that's my ip in SRC === zach_mtu is now known as ladispute [21:51] superpie: works fine for me [21:51] or what about this sudo grub-install /dev/sdX # Example: sudo grub-install /dev/sda ? [21:51] hackinblack: yeah, reinstalling grub2, thats what you want [21:51] KM0201: grub-install ? [21:51] ? [21:51] resuremade: So somehow it's managed to block you! === ladispute is now known as zach_mtu [21:51] Cyberspaceloa: hackinblack negative... scroll down just a bit more, under where it says "fixing a broken system": [21:51] X-Raimo, I am going to assume this is not a wubi install, which is a install from windows. Boot the live cd from the thumb or a cd and chroot in and run the commands where this wiki defaults. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_ChRoot [21:52] Cyberspaceloa: hackinblack you will see "via boot repair graphical tool"... use that [21:52] X-Raimo, This wiki tells you how to chroot and what commands read very carefully. [21:52] TJ-: unbelievable. I've typed only two ufw commands: allow 6697 and enable [21:53] wilee-nilee: yes, thanx, but it seems lilke I have grub-1.99 [21:53] KM0201: great link, bookmarked [21:53] Hi. Great news, a friend is very happy cause she has received her Asus EeePC 1225C. "Oh, it's an Intel gpu, should be fine !"... Disaster. Impossible to reach another resolution than 1024x768. It's a GMA 3600. Does someone know something about it ? [21:53] not seeing? [21:53] that [21:53] X-Raimo, That is for grub 2 which is 1.99 [21:53] how can install driver nvidia 96xx [21:53] hackinblack: not seeing the link or the section you need? [21:54] X-Raimo, As I suggested read it carefully there is a command to make sure you know which partition the ubuntu install is on run it first [21:54] hackinblack: go here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair and scroll down to "2nd option: install boot-repair in ubuntu" [21:55] hackinblack: then follow the "using boot repair" instructions [21:55] the link cyber and ok km [21:55] directly under that [21:55] TJ-: It can't block all ports after simple 'allow' and 'enable', right? [21:55] resuremade: I don't know what else you've done! Obviously something unusual has occurred [21:55] alright im going to try this [21:56] TJ-: only installed znc and bitlbee. Other commands was without sudo. [21:56] hackinblack: worst that happens, is we'll reinstall real quick... but i think that will work [21:57] nice. help a little bit, learn a little bit. That's what's great about IRC [21:57] Cyberspaceloa: yup... trust me, i've learned so much just by sitting in here and watching some of the more experienced folks solve things over the years... after a while, i was comfortable helping people myself [21:57] how can install driver nvidia 96xx [21:58] nasar: should be in the "additional drivers" utility [21:58] wilee-nilee: I finally did: linux (hd0,msdos5)/boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-31-generic=pae root=/dev/sda5 and it works [21:59] lol, i just did usermod -G somegroup myuser instead of usermod -a -G somegroup myuser and lost my group settings. how do i revert it back (most importantly get back in to sudoers) :< [21:59] alright its installing [21:59] Where cutsom ufw rules are actually stored? [22:00] MrBushido: lol, gotta be careful using those termianl commands, you might need to boot the recovery option from Grub to handle that [22:00] it installed [22:00] resuremade: I believe they're in /etc/ufw [22:00] hackinblack: now follow the "using" section on that link.. and make sure you put grub on /dev/sda [22:00] KM0201: will do, any idea what groups i need to be a member of? [22:00] lol [22:01] X-Raimo, If your in the ubuntu then run sudo fdisk -l and find the HD your are on HD=the flash and reload grub to the mbr with sudo grub-install /dev/sdX X is the letter of the flash like a or b or c...etc, no partition then run sudo update-grub [22:01] MrBushido: well, at bare minimum, you need to be in "sudo" and your "username" (whatever your username is)... that should get you working again, you can tackle the rest as you go [22:01] i am [22:02] KM0201: aye, thanks <3 [22:02] TJ-: last question) How I reset to defaults firewall settings through rescue image? [22:02] X-Raimo, good job on a manual boot most can't figure that out. ;) [22:02] wilee-nilee: I did. Thanx a lot. This update wasn't best moment in my life [22:02] i ran a auto repair and now it says boot successfully repaired [22:03] resuremade: I'm not sure, UFW keeps all its rules in /etc/ufw/* === tiagoscd_ is now known as tiagoscd [22:03] hackinblack: hmm, i'm surprised auto would work... but worst that happens, is you try again [22:03] X-Raimo, It has happened to a lot of users did it to me as wel. [22:03] try to boot it, see what happens [22:03] idk [22:03] it says also though [22:03] wilee-nilee: o, yes. I just did loader's job step-by-step [22:03] your bios may not detect them, you may want to retry after creating a /boot partition ext 4 200 mb from start of disc. [22:03] Something about the boot files of ubnutu are far from the start of the disk [22:03] resuremade: "man ufw" says "ufw reset" [22:04] yeah, it just put grub back on /dev/sda3 again from the sounds of it [22:04] you're going to need to follow the "advanced options" directly below that [22:04] TJ-: there is no ufw on rescue image [22:04] why? [22:04] wilee-nilee: I used to recover grub via chroot, but before this update didn't have experience with grub2 [22:04] just a hunch.. try restarting and see if it works [22:04] i may be wrong [22:05] No it works i get the Grub menu THANK GOD. but what did that mean about ubuntu being far from the start of the disk is this bad? [22:05] 中文 === mikestewart is now known as mikestewart|afk [22:05] hackinblack: i dunno, i wouldn't worry about it. [22:05] hackinblack: someone last night was saying that your specific setup had potential for errors later on down the line [22:06] hackinblack: but as to what those would be, I don't know [22:06] Cyberspaceloa: i was just wondering that.. and they were probably referring to when grub upgrades with new kernel entries [22:06] last night? [22:06] KM0201: good point [22:06] X-Raimo, Yeah, I just use a supergrub loaded to a multiloaded ISO thumb if I run into problems which is hardly ever as I have 4 OS's on my HD, and know where the grub control is but have had to chroot on occasion, no biggie for me. [22:06] 我如何说中文 [22:06] yup... i just thought of that [22:06] resuremade: OK, edit the defaults for UFW. The rescue image will have mounted the broken system to some directory. Look in that directory for the file "etc/default/ufw" - its text - edit it [22:06] hackinblack: we were dealing with some of these issues last night [22:06] hackinblack: someone far more dense than you was having a similar problem to what you're having right now.. only he just wouldn't listen [22:06] lsj8924, You are back this channel is english. [22:06] lol [22:06] lol [22:07] so my setup isnt good? [22:07] !cn > lsj8924 [22:07] lsj8924, please see my private message [22:07] if i install ubuntu with a cd, do i get an option to install it with dual-boot? or do i haft to do something to make it dual boot? [22:07] hackinblack: thats the only fear i have.. is tha twhen grub upgrades w/ new kernel entries, etc.. they will not get added. [22:07] hackinblack: it might be good until your next update [22:07] tryy3, What is on the HD now? [22:07] all i need linux for is the terminal and to compile [22:07] i would reboot the live cd, and use the "advanced" options, to put grub on the mbr... or just do a clean install again, since you know what you did wrong [22:07] how [22:07] wilee-nilee windows 7 [22:07] hackinblack: Some BIOSs can't read sectors beyond 512MB (or something like that) into the disk. So a boot-loader with 2nd or 3rd-stage files beyond that point will fail, since it is relying on the BIOS disk read() functions to fetch the sectors from the disk === rahul is now known as Guest97520 [22:08] how can i join the chinese channel ? [22:08] ah god [22:08] lsj8924: /join #channelname [22:08] so how would i know if im having problems updating kernal or kernal not updating? [22:08] hackinblack: Those BIOSes are usually *very* old now, although newer limits apply of, I think the 2GB boundary [22:08] Hi, is there any way to stop ubuntu switching to a high resolution terminal halfway through booting? [22:08] !cn | lsj8924 [22:08] lsj8924: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [22:08] hackinblack: you will not see new entries in your grub list, or upgrades will tell you that new entries couldn't be added to grub... that sort of thing [22:09] hackinblack: A clean install is... cleaner, but you can try and save time by using the advanced options [22:09] does Unity also crash frequently for u guys? [22:09] /join #ubuntu-cn [22:09] brb, dinner [22:09] tryy3, Are you familiar with the limitations of primaries in the amount of, on a single HD? [22:09] advance options in? [22:09] boot repair? [22:09] wilee-nilee not really :S [22:09] hackinblack: yes, the tool you used to fix grub [22:10] this all can be fixed down the line right? [22:10] maybe when i notice these problems? [22:10] or should i do them now [22:10] hackinblack: it's really up to you. I prefer to fix everything I know about right away [22:11] true. Idk, how hard would it be [22:11] tryy3, you are allowed a max of 4 primary partitions on a HD with a standard msdos type partitioning which yours "probably" is, boot the live ubuntu cd open gpartede and take a screen shot and put it in a imagebin. [22:11] gparted* [22:11] hackinblack: the advantage of doing it now is: the problem is fresh in your mind [22:12] hackinblack: and you have a handy graphical tool that automates it for you that you may forget [22:12] tryy3, THis HD limitation is a imperative issue, you can brick your setup if you install to many. Do you have the windows fully backed up in case of a bricked setup? [22:12] does anyone draw? [22:12] that tool isnt still installed right? [22:12] hackinblack: my advice if you decide to leave it till later is to notate the name of this tool so you can use it or an equivalent in the future [22:12] cause i was on livecd [22:12] does anyone draw? [22:12] or is it? [22:12] I can try now [22:12] hackinblack: I believe you will need to reinstall it [22:12] reinstall? [22:12] awh the tool [22:13] ok [22:13] wilee-nilee i belive so, could it be safer to like split the HD and install ubuntu on the splited HD? [22:13] i treid installing updates and the animation wasnt working not sure if bug or [22:13] Timtube: how is drawing an ubuntu support question? [22:13] hackinblack: unfortunately I'm not familiar with the 12.04 graphical environment [22:14] what version are you [22:14] hackinblack: 12.04 Xubuntu [22:14] hackinblack: I need to get some work done, do you feel like you understand everything well enough? [22:14] tryy3, I would not know without you following what I ask, I have the suspicion you do not understand me and that is not good. If you do not understand say so and lets get on the same page, otherwise we are wasting each others time. [22:14] yea for now [22:15] hackinblack: okay, well I'm usually in here and so is KM [22:15] wilee-nilee i understood to the part that i gonna burn a cd with ubuntu on and then boot it on the desktop then after that i didn't understand [22:16] tryy3, Cool I don't think I'm your best help here I don't really have the patience to go through this sort of drill, others will help you though. ;) [22:17] I have to go, ill be back later Km could you help me then with this new problem? [22:17] wilee-nilee oh ok [22:18] Hello, is there a way to scroll the currently active window? I [22:18] sry [22:18] Ubuntu i am breaking up with you... ...Its not you it's me i swear. You where great in the beginning afterall you took my linux virginity. But im more experienced now and i need more freedom. I want you to know im seeing another distro, very soon i plan to mount her, and Make her, and Install her into my heart. So Farewell [22:18] WillenCMD: :P [22:19] Hello, is there a way to scroll the currently active window? I'm using mouse scroll event now, but it only works where the mouse pointer is - which isn't always the active window. [22:19] barnex: PageUp key ? [22:20] hold the win-key for quick help shortkeys [22:20] yes, I considered that, but I'd like to scroll less than a page [22:20] barnex: on my WM i have focus following pointer. best of luck. i have no suggestions how you can do it. [22:20] zykotick9: thanks, I too have focus following pointer, but I can change focus with keyboard without moving mouse. [22:22] barnex: interesting. the window with the mouse actually still scrolls here, even though the cursor is in another window. interesting. (you'll see/experience something different most likely) [22:22] barnex: as soon as i type though, it switches ;) [22:24] Hi could somebody help me with file/folder permissions issue [22:25] I have a CIFS share that I ma automounting in FSTAB [22:25] It's in FSTAB as: //192.168.1.2/docs /mnt/docs cifs auto,iocharset=utf8,uid=bill,gid=staff,credentials=/root/.cifscredentials,file_mode=0755,dir_mode=0755 0 0 [22:26] It mounts fine -- but new folders/files that are written in it are created with 700 permissions [22:26] I was hoping to have them created with 755. umask shows 0022 [22:28] not sure why ubuntu 12.04 does not allow you to move the unity bar [22:28] ziggyzero: (there is NOTHING "wrong" with what you are doing, so you can safely disregard if you want) but /mnt exists as a temporary mount point, so at any time a user should be able to mount to /mnt directly (that would break your system). standards for directories are kinda ugly though, probably the most "proper" think to do would be create a subdirectory under /srv (though i typically make improper root directories like /Music /Movies /Fi [22:29] if i install ubuntu with a cd, do i get an option to install it with dual-boot? or do i haft to do something to make it dual boot? (iam new to ubuntu/linux) [22:30] I have a question about mounting windows partitions [22:30] tryy3 run it from cd and you'll see -- yes, you can install it in dual-boot [22:31] MonkeyDust ah thanks for confirming :D [22:31] ziggyzero: have you tried dynperm mount options? Since you are using file_mode and dir_mode I assume server doesn't support CIFS unix extensions? [22:32] ziggyzero: documentation makes it sound like it might help in your case, but I'm just reading it out of boredom and have no experience with such systems. [22:32] zykotick9: Can you think of any reason why when anything is written to /mnt/docs the files are created with 700 meaning only the owner 'Bill' can access them [22:32] I have two ntfs partitions (because of dual-booting), I want users to be able to mount/use one of them on demand, administrators should be able to mount all of them, Because of external library dependencies ntfs-3g is not able to do it when I edit fstab [22:32] now I want to use udev rules, but I don't know how [22:34] Hello, I have problems trying to access my system, I'm using ubuntu 11.04, I only see this massage: mountall: Plymouth command failed. mountall: plymouth disconected from disk / dev/mapper/cryptswap1 not ready or present. -Help please === mikestewart|afk is now known as mikestewart [22:38] hi [22:39] hackinblack: whats wrong now?
