[00:00] LadyLight, where is the problem? [00:00] rogue780, http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ [00:00] wilee-nilee, how do I do that? [00:00] I can't boot the iso from the usb for some weird reason [00:00] it's like you're nostradaemus [00:00] or however you spell it [00:00] LadyLight: you download regularly with your browser, and use some kind of USB app to put the iso on your usb [00:01] I did that, but the dell computer won't boot up with it. [00:01] LadyLight: yeah, I make a mess of the USB install too sometimes, CD and DVD can be easier [00:01] rogue780, A live cd is what you want probably, Im not sure how to run it from a complete cli and have a post of it. [00:01] LadyLight, u need unetbootin to be installed or other usb creation program [00:01] holy damn I just derped. I just ran a "sudo tasksel" and deselected everything but LAMP. FTP and SSH are gone, but I have physical access to the box. How should I recover from this? [00:02] *boot usb creation program [00:02] the computer i have is a mini dell, it has no CD driver [00:02] LadyLight: most pcs should boot usb these days, but you might have to fiddle a bit in BIOS [00:02] then definitely usb install [00:02] tozen: actually, you don't, ubuntu ISOs are no hybrid usb/cdrom - so you can just cat/dd them to usb an it'll work. but you unetbootin suggestion is easier! [00:02] Garr255: tasksel should NOT be used for removing things... [00:03] zyk: I was trying to reinstall lamp [00:03] yeah, its the only way [00:03] !tab | Garr255 [00:03] Garr255: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [00:03] zykotick9, i dont think so LadyLight have expirience in Linux [00:03] zykotick9, thanks for that :P [00:03] how can i open firefox through SSH (got MobaXTerm on my windows computer so i can use X server!) [00:04] what's that supposed to mean? [00:04] Garr255: reinstalling is "typically" useless in gnu/linux. but you should use "sudo apt-get purge FOO" to remove programs and settings (fyi if the program uses home folder for settings, those will NOT be removed) [00:05] LadyLight, I believe those dell mini's wont boot from every usb port. [00:05] is it possible to upgrade to the beta right now? [00:05] LadyLight, what OS do u using now? [00:05] Pedrolito: reask in #ubuntu+1 [00:05] zykotick9, okay thanks. [00:05] ok thank you [00:06] Does anyone know how I can search for a ppa? [00:06] tozen, It's windows xp. but that got screwed up when i tired to reinstall it so i have to try and use ubuntu now.... [00:06] john_doe_jr, what are you looking for to get from one? [00:07] LadyLight, WAIT! [00:07] I need a ifolder build for Ubuntu 12.04 [00:07] 'yes?! [00:07] john_doe_jr, A folder? [00:07] 'ifolder' [00:07] ah ifolder [00:07] I went to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=ifolder [00:08] Anyone aware of an RDP client for linux that has TS Gateway support? [00:08] I have a 64 bit computer [00:08] does anyone here know how too use ppapurge? [00:08] LadyLight, first step is u need to now how to setup startup from flash in BIOS [00:08] LadyLight, do u now it? [00:08] john_doe_jr, here is my search. https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&output=search&sclient=psy-ab&q=ifolder+ppa&btnG=&gbv=1&sei=5sdwUPXBE4nYtAax54GoBg [00:09] going into bios and moving the usb thing above hard drive? [00:09] does anyone here know how to use ppapurge? [00:09] wilee-nilee: right but I don't know which ppa I should use to make sure that it works on my system…kinda new to linux [00:10] wilee-nilee: A ppa means that the user build it and I can just download their build so I don't have to build it right? [00:10] LadyLight, second step is u need flash USB boot creating soft to be installed on ur system [00:10] ... what does that mean 'tozen' ? [00:11] john_doe_jr, The first one is only supported to lucid, generally you look at the drop down on the PPA page and see if your distro is covered and the version of what you want if on the page, or in comparison of what you have, and be backed up, and able to back your way out of a broken install. [00:11] wilee-nilee, can't figure a way to get that script onto the computer…it has no network connectivity atm, and my mac won't read the one thumb drive I have, which is currently containing the install media [00:11] I'll just have to skin this cat another way, i think [00:11] LadyLight, so if i understand u correct u have no any system ready to be used now? [00:11] can someone help me? [00:12] ur windows xp is crashed [00:12] I keep getting "E: Internal Error, No file name for libssl1.0.0 [00:12] when I try to install something [00:12] LadyLight is it true? [00:12] yes, the computer doesnt allow me to login to windows [00:12] I ws told I needed to use ppa-purge, but I don't know how. [00:12] wilee-nilee: so no one has built iFolder on ubuntu 12.04 64 right? [00:13] rogue780, I suppose so there is a app called supergrub that is tiny and bootable that will find a OS if it is bootable, but on a mac or in your situation I can't say it will work. [00:13] !info ifolder [00:13] Package ifolder does not exist in precise [00:13] LadyLight, well u have an online access now, just use the search to find boot usb sofware [00:14] john_doe_jr, I can't give you a definitive no. [00:14] wilee-nilee, if my basement hadn't flooded, I would have so much more at my disposal right now…but as it is, all I was left with that is functional is my macbook [00:14] and, of course, this server i'm trying to get rolling for someone [00:14] yeah, im doing that on the other computer (mac) [00:14] LadyLight, stick in flash drive after and do the boot usb [00:15] can someone please help me, I've had this problem for weeks [00:15] rogue780, IU would check the web on that HD there are a couple of WD HD's that are problematic with linux, hard to say ikf this is the case here but worth checking. [00:15] I* [00:15] yeah, im downloading the one you mentioned [00:16] wilee-nilee, thanks. I'll look into that [00:16] wilee-nilee: Well, my problem is that I'm installing the server (instructions found @ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/iFolderInstall) and down to the last step and enter in the following command 'sudo dpkg -i libsimias*deb simias-client*deb' but get the following in my terminal: http://pastie.org/4925125 …it is like it doesn't see any .deb files [00:17] LadyLight, after all is done u can try to boot from ur boot usb using F2-F12 or Tab, or Delete buttons, depends of netbook model [00:17] how do you change the gtk3 theme in ubuntu 12.04? [00:17] I just installed Evolution and it looks horrible by default [00:18] Hello everyone. I am using 12.04 on a netbook with Radeon HD video chipset, the default radeon free drivers, and fullscreen videos in browser are very slow and choppy, be it flash or even html5. I tried everything I could, any advise ? Thanks. [00:18] I keep getting "E: Internal Error, No file name for libssl1.0.0 [00:18] when I try to install something [00:18] LadyLight, F2-F12 gives u access to BIOS to setup boot priorities [00:18] any help? [00:19] I was told I needed to use ppa-purge, but I don't know how [00:19] dylan, what the problems? [00:19] I can;t install anything using apt-get [00:20] it always gives that error [00:20] thanks tozen, i'll let you know what happens, if it works and stuff :) [00:20] when I run something like sudo apt-get -f install it still igves the error [00:20] I was told to use ppa-purge, but I have no idea how [00:20] LadyLigth, dont be hesitate to ask [00:20] dylan, I see others with this problem commonly the answer seems to be a reinstall of that package, see post 7 here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2033450 [00:21] notice the sudo dpkg --configure -a command as well [00:21] dylan, sudo apt-get install -f ? [00:22] dylan, look at /etc/apt/sources.lis.d/ directory ...maybe some ppa source are you using [00:22] tozen: doesnt work [00:22] I was told it was a ppa issue [00:22] they said to use ppa purge [00:22] but I don't know how [00:22] I did manage to install ppa-purge [00:22] dylan, Who told you this? [00:23] erm [00:23] l3pot iirc [00:23] and someone else.... [00:23] noob question: how hard is it for someone to 'root' you or get through on linux i.e. ubuntu, just with default settings & setup.... is it unlikely/likely, etc? [00:23] dylan, remove that sources.list.d entries [00:23] also, what would you want to check , at the command line, to see if anything fishy is goin on [00:23] And rerun apt-get update [00:23] Hatori: I have no idea how [00:24] Hatori: I don't know what "that" entry is [00:24] machicola, what you mean with 'root'? [00:24] like, break through your system securities so they can do things an administrator or the owner could do [00:25] dylan, try to generate new sources. list : http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/index.php [00:25] machicola, You mean a rootkit or a hack? [00:25] yeah wilee-nilee [00:25] rootkit or hack you [00:25] machicola, it was more hard compared to "other" shinny os :d [00:26] oh yeah, for sure [00:26] machicola, Any thing is possible it is a matter of how secure you are and if someone really wants to get in, a percentile of it happening is a moot point really. [00:26] yeah, well , im not trying to make any points lol ;-) [00:26] it was purely a question [00:26] че за хрень? [00:27] machicola, without your stupidity, i think was hard [00:27] HI [00:27] whats a good network, command line command to check if you're getting rootkitted [00:28] thanks Hatori [00:28] machicola, rkhunter is a rootkit scanner but yiou have to know how to use it, it's not just a purdy gui like you would get in a MS setup. [00:28] machicola, install some snort or lids .. Looks at your logs, [00:28] hi I recently added a second monitor to my Ubuntu 12.04 setup. It is not the same size or orientation as my main monitor. Is it possible to set it up such that I can extend my desktop onto it without scaling or panning? I have been trying without success for a bit now. [00:29] i was more thinking along the lines of shell built ins [00:29] isnt there just some basic programs to run? [00:29] just to maybe get an idea if somethin weird is goin on [00:30] !virus [00:30] Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [00:30] machicola, actually i don't know what you want to talk about ... Very common to understand and maybe better to more spesific [00:32] basic shell commands to observe if someone is rootkitting you, specifically, lol [00:32] i'll just add 'specifically' [00:32] tozen [00:32] it still wont work [00:33] I keep getting the "Internal Error, No file name for libssl1.0.0" [00:33] np, will figure it out [00:33] should my sources.list.d folder be empty? [00:33] it's empty [00:33] no! [00:33] hmmm [00:33] oh [00:33] I found them [00:34] in a random folder [00:34] dylan, did u try to create new one? [00:34] at some point yes [00:34] apparently [00:34] dylan: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:34] tozen: There is one for google chrome in here. could that be causing the problem? [00:34] machicola, run w,who to know who is login to your box, look at process list, with pstree, ps, or top .. And find somethng look strange === resistivecorpse2 is now known as resistivecorpse [00:36] yo [00:36] sup [00:36] dylan, well what terminal says when u trying to update sourses?

[00:39] tozen: Hazori: http://pastebin.com/W6hPKeKG [00:39] dylan, type what the error u see in terminal [00:40] thanks again Hatori, was very helpful [00:40] I just pastebinned it [00:40] it's kind of long [00:40] http://pastebin.com/W6hPKeKG [00:41] dylan, i want to know the spesific caused the error [00:41] I know that I will maybe start a flamewar, but how it REALLY is with supporting upstream? For example if you compare it with Debian's "We will communicate things such as bug fixes, improvements and user requests to the upstream authors of works included in our system."?

[00:44] it's not fresh [00:44] I've had it for a while [00:45] dylan: You tried updating repos too right? [00:45] Hi. I-m trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 on an Acer Aspire notebook. I-m trying from a USB stick. But I can-t boot from it. Nothing happens automatically, I tried F12, but nothing. It always starts up from windows [00:45] dylan, i steel waiting an answer from u about new sources.list [00:45] Hello! :D Anyone liking Quantal? [00:45] jagginess: that is an official BankID java test site, in it`s self it should be safe I mean [00:45] tozen: what about sources.list? [00:45] Cause I know I do! [00:45] dylan, where come from libsdl you have been installed? [00:45] Zacarias, try pendrive or unetbootin (i prefer pendrive on mswindows) [00:46] Zacarias, Do you see the usb in the f12? [00:46] Hatori: what? Are you asking why I'm installing it? [00:46] dylan, did u tried to create a new one with a link what i gave u? [00:46] tozen I did [00:46] dylan: I meant did you upgrade from a previous version of Ubuntu or did you install it ? [00:46] BlackNacissus I fresh installed [00:46] Zacarias, oh yeah.. make sure there's only 1 partition on the usb (though technically in advanced scenario this does have to be), and that it is FAT32 [00:47] !info rkhunter | machicola [00:47] machicola: rkhunter (source: rkhunter): rootkit, backdoor, sniffer and exploit scanner.

I have a @press F2 for setup@ and it begins immediately to run windows [00:47] yeah I know [00:47] silverarrow: I know that for sure [00:47] dylan, and sudo apt-get install -f [00:48] Zacarias, maybe it's f10 or f11, you have to hit the key really fast upon machine startup.. [00:48] you mean sudo apt-get -f isntall? [00:48] I have tried that multiple times [00:48] Zacarias, also this is more of a PITA especially with acer netbook.. [00:48] Zacarias, There is a lock on the bios I have a aceraspire one have you unlocked it? [00:48] jagginess: I made the USB with Sartup Disk Creator [00:48] dylan, where come from libsdl you have been installed? [00:48] silverarrow: I am having problems using Software Center reccomendations. I login then it ask me if I wanna turn it on again. And then it just keeps doing that in a loop [00:49] Zacarias, ACER netbook--> turn off the netbook, unplug the battery, unplug the usb, replug the battery, plug in the usb, and then turn on the machine power (trust me on this) and then of course keep tapping that special bootmenu key to select usb [00:49] Hatori: what do you mean by that??? [00:49] Hatori: like what do I need it for? [00:49] kendfinger: I`m in lubuntu quantal right now, and it only has package manager for some reason, it has software center in 12.04 [00:49] I'm trying to emulate N64 games [00:50] with mupen64 [00:50] dylan, you can use apt-cache show [00:50] I am having problems using Software Center reccomendations in 12.10 (Quantal). I login then it ask me if I wanna turn it on again. And then it just keeps doing that in a loop [00:50] wilee-nilee: No, where is it [00:50] dylan, what u need to do (usually to solve that kind of problem) is create a new sources.list and sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade, after that sudo apt-get install -f [00:50] Hatori: E: No packages found [00:51] dylan, i think you ave mix multiples sources [00:51] tozen: fyi, PPAs aren't in sources.list, so that strategy may not accomplish what you want it too. [00:51] Logging in again using Quassel [00:51] Zacarias, It is one of the f keys I forget I found it by just powering on and sweeping across all of them. [00:51] kendfinger: you will probably get better feedback in Ubuntu+1, if it isn`t much the same issues in both quantal and precise [00:51] ok [00:51] :) [00:51] silverarrow: Thanks [00:52] dylan, i think you need remove that packages caused the problems [00:52] hello [00:53] can anyone help me with boot repair on ubuntu 12.04?

I'm hoping that activating this at boot up will help (would this be a correct assumption) ? [01:18] r u dualbooting ubuntu / win7? [01:18] yeah [01:18] if so...be sure to use the same PAIRING code. [01:18] +1 [01:19] so it works great with win 7 with code 1234, be sure to set as your pairing code on ubuntu ;) [01:19] but I've read that I cannot use bluetooth at or within grub unless it is onboard. [01:19] thanks for that info. [01:19] whats ur laptop? [01:19] its a desktop [01:19] ah [01:19] no OB bt then? [01:20] ok, so be sure to have the same pair code [01:20] no, via a usb dongle [01:20] ok. [01:20] front or back panel? [01:20] back panel [01:20] good. [01:20] ok thanks I'm going to try this reboot [01:20] front panel goes through BUS (that could have cuased issue) [01:20] will be back [01:20] ok, well do same pair code ;) [01:20] yup will do, thanks heaps [01:21] this should be interesting to found out if it works or not. [01:21] win7 auto generates a pair code. ubuntu actually asks you for one === ranjan is now known as Guest18517 [01:32] hi [01:32] hi [01:33] weather indicator 11.11.28 cloundy9 not working right... says connection no good.. can anyone help [01:33] how do i use wine [01:34] just the basics to start using [01:34] @tryingubuntu: run this: sudo apt-get install python-pywapi [01:35] WHOisAmanda: wine app.exe [01:35] do i need to have that exe in wine folder [01:36] no [01:36] well just if it is on my flash drive how would i do it [01:36] same way [01:36] WINE is used to get people drunk, but besides that it is used to run windows based programs in the ubuntu S [01:36] ubutnu OS [01:37] can't you just double-click on it like in windows? it should work by default [01:37] Been back with windows for a bit and I would like to dual boot. Should I install 12.10 beta 2 or hold off until 12.10 final? If I go with beta 2 how easy will it be to upgrade later? [01:37] k i try if not work i be back [01:37] i personally havent had much luck with wine, so i dual boot "for a reason"! ;) [01:38] the upgrade path will be seamless. no uninstall.reinstall needed at the time [01:38] u can try 12.10 but please note it WILL be buggy. [01:38] 12.04 is SOLID. [01:38] make sure you get 32bit though [01:38] I have a thunderbird-portable for windows on my flash-drive and was too lazy to install linux version, so I'm using it thru wine, works great [01:38] The LTS is buggy at this point? [01:39] IC... Yeah... 12.04 is great. [01:39] PAE will kick in and show any ram you have over 4gb ram in there [01:39] i love 12.04 (32bit) 64 is different code and IS unstable. [01:39] **in my exp. [01:40] I have two reasons for Win7... World of Warcraft and MS Office... Other than that I would be Ubuntu all the way. [01:40] Anyone here play Tekkit? [01:40] I know somebody here plays Tekkit. :) [01:40] MartynK: agreed. I'm using 32bit version even tho I have 64bit CPU [01:40] locoguano, you can do those with wine [01:40] sidney_, Not really a fully true statement, as far as no more then normal, never has been for me. [01:40] i use ubuntu primarily....but at work...i have my dual boot win7 machine for that [01:41] locoguano: i play WoW on linux just fine [01:41] the newest xpac for WoW may not work in Wine very well just yet [01:41] I've never been able to get Office stable with Wine... I usually just run it in Virtualbox. WoW is another issue... WoW crashes my laptop unless I make changes with Rivatuner... I haven't been able to simulate those changes in Linux. [01:41] MartynK Forcast information cannot be fetched. connection cannot be established?????? [01:41] wilee-nilee, do you use the 64 bit version? [01:42] sidney_, NO 32 bit. [01:42] haha sidney...i was just about to ask Trying Ubuntu that. [01:42] TU...u on 32bit or 64? [01:42] & did you run that code i PM's you? [01:42] and/or upgrade to cloud10? [01:43] locoguano: to play WoW on linux, you will want wine1.5 and you have to disable "peer to peer" in the launcher. [01:43] sidney_, Problem with the term buggy is to whom. [01:43] locoguano: and LibreOffice is just as good as MS Office [01:43] Maybe that why I has problems. I was using 64 bit [01:43] MartynK doesnt even open on docky... [01:44] read here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-weather/+bug/1048193 [01:44] Launchpad bug 1048193 in indicator-weather (Ubuntu) ""Forecast Information Cannot be fetched. Connection cannot be established"" [Undecided,Fix released] [01:44] I prefer LibreOffice, but I have to use a lot of MSOffice files for work and the formating often gets messed up. [01:44] notice at top it says fixed release? [01:44] level of skill is a factor as well as a personal definition of buggy [01:44] MartynK just saw your pv mess.. ill try it thx. [01:44] click on that & log in for fix [01:44] locoguano: well at least you can say now that WoW is not a reason to stay on windows anymore. [01:45] ok [01:45] let me know [01:45] if it doesnt work: login fior the fix here: https://login.launchpad.net/c9PK9xcvjv6JJ5wP/+decide [01:45] any networking wizards out there - having problems configuring my network…might be bit of a complicated one? [01:46] The problem with WoW isn't with getting it to work. Plays fine. But for some reason WoW and my video card hate each other. I found a work around for Windows by using RivaTuner... I just haven't been able to get those changes to work in Ubuntu. I want to dual boot so I can use those programs while I work on getting Ubuntu working right for me. Once I do that, I will make the Ubuntu change permanent. [01:46] Are the changes in 12.10 worth dealing with beta bugs or just stick with 12.04? [01:47] stick with 12.04, no doubt [01:47] works for me... thanks [01:48] don't change to newer software only because it's newer. do so only if you really know why you would want that [01:49] dealing with the bugs is a good idea if you want to contribute, not if you wanna get work done [01:49] Well... everything is worth trying. I am not so attached to anything on this laptop that I can't just wipe it and reinstall. I actually kinda enjoy setting things up. [01:50] how many linux distros have you experienced, locoguano [01:50] I tried Redhat for a while like.. 10 years ago... Now pretty much Ubuntu. [01:51] i'm a big fan on Mint [01:51] how do i update the libs i have installed? my configure script is finding the module, but when the binary does a test run, it fails saying it doesnt exist [01:51] please someone help me! I've been running ubuntu box as server - dhcp3 and samba server. everything fine until i moved house. neighbour has kindly given me access to her network via wifi but signal really weak. Basically have spare laptop on windowsill, which connects to wifi and then via internet connection sharing feeds connection to a router i've got set up to "boost" through the house. only problem being is that my ubuntu "server" which is connected [01:51] via lan cable to router uses different network ip's - neighbours connection is 10.42.0.1 and i've set up all my boxes to point to the ubuntu server which is 192.168.1.1. any suggestions? [01:52] locoguano: I enjoy it too, but on the other hand I'm happy that I installed my Ubuntu a year ago and didn't see the installer since but just used a dist-upgrade to switch from 11.10 [01:52] basically i want the server to act as the gateway if that makes sense?! [01:52] is the ubuntu server set statically? [01:52] I am going to guess so [01:52] I took a look at mint in VB... very nice. Can't say I know enough about linux to really tell the difference. I used to be very into the hardware side of computing, but since I started teaching (history) I really don't have time for that kind of thing anymore. [01:53] yeah ubuntu server set static ip as it's the dhcp3 server [01:53] hw [01:53] just wiped the server so fresh install ready for config [01:54] hello [01:54] well thanks for the advice... see you. [01:54] locoguano: the difference between distros in pre-included drivers and the basic appearance. there's little difference. [01:54] Anyone from India? [01:54] I need support [01:55] MasonAlexCo: that was racist [01:55] I am Indian [01:55] crimsonmane, so no it is not racist [01:55] that's nice. you're still racist [01:55] gsned: did you set up masquerade and ip_forward? [01:55] just add a static route from your server to 10.42.0.1 [01:55] well I need support with language files [01:55] hello [01:56] is there a command i can use to figure out what the mapping code is for a mouse button?

[02:32] hey guys. i have an icon for a drive in my unity task bar that i want removed. how do i make sure this drive doesn't even get mounted at startup? [02:34] kwikness, Internal or external drive? [02:34] internal [02:34] it's actually a windows system reserved partition [02:35] don't want to just randomly go in there and start deleting crap =D [02:36] kwikness, Did you add it to the fstab? [02:36] wilee-nilee, nah.. i used the windows installer and it was there when i first booted up [02:36] hell i just need help getting wine woking cause i don't even have windows media to install on vbox [02:36] kwikness, This is a ubuntu install from windows a wubi? [02:36] is there a wine irc [02:37] wilee-nilee, yep [02:37] kwikness, Cool always include that info. You know that a wubi is a tryout installation, not meant for longterm. [02:38] wilee-nilee, why is it just a tryout installation? its functionality doesnt seem limited to me.. [02:39] wilee-nilee, just looks like a convenient way to install ubuntu from windose [02:39] windows* [02:40] kwikness, run in the ubuntu terminal cat /etc/fstab and see if windows is in there. The statement of short term is by the wibi designer, and it is just a file in widows as well. [02:40] wubi* [02:40] hehe windows* oops [02:40] hello guys. I have a little problem and can't find any good solution. I have a HTML file with a line of 500 chars or more and that line contains multiple times some tags...let's say

123

,

ABC

. How can I extract only the content of that? I tried multiple sed and perl solutions I found but all returns the whole line (which is alot of text) [02:42] To be more specific I want to extract all data from
[02:42] kwikness, Nice thing is though if you like ubuntu that wubi can be transfered to a partition, rather then reinstalling it. === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [02:42] reinstalling ubuntu that is [02:43] WHOisAmanda #winehq [02:43] thanks [02:43] no problem [02:44] Ubuntu 12.04 server with Gnome3 -> [Code]eject /dev/sr0[/Code] -> [Output]eject: unable to eject, last error: Inappropriate ioctl for device[/Output] : Is there a soln for that? [02:45] ClientAlive: happens to me all the time. sometimes eject works, sometimes it doesn't [02:45] Any idea about how to extract data betweent 2 html tags without returning the whole line ? (I just checked and the line has 28890 characters). [02:45] when the support for 10.04 is over? [02:45] gabrieluk, about 7 months [02:46] for the desktop [02:46] svspl: At least mine is predictable. After reboot, works w/ hardware button once, works with eject /dev/sr0 once - then nothing. [02:46] gabrieluk: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS [02:46] mm, not sure if i should update now. i'm about to do a server with many apps running, not sure if it's worthy... [02:46] I'm sick of rebooting every time I want to use my disc drive. [02:47] gabrieluk, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [02:48] usrb1n: Now I'm no expert and this is gonna sound really dumb but have you tried grep? [02:48] #winehq is dead [02:48] What happens if you grep the tags or something? [02:49] grep | cat... [02:49] WHOisAmanda: everything is dead :0 [02:49] WHOisAmanda, You may have noticed already, but the IRC needs a great deal of patience, if your seeking help, it can be slow to get responses. The ubuntu forum is a pretty good source of help as well. [02:50] thanks again [02:52] peace out... [02:52] ; [02:52] ;) === Afterraff` is now known as Afteraffekt [02:57] hiya. I had this working before but i forgot how to do it. I have a bunch of os installed: ubuntu, backtrack, windows, and recovery partition. After installing backtrack it set that as the default in grub. How do i change the default back to ubuntu? [02:57] Pinkamena_D, grub-install /dev/sda [02:57] I'm getting an error attaching a specific usb device to guest vm in virtualbox: "Failed to create a proxy device for the USB device. (Error: VERR_READ_ERROR)." attaching other flash drives etc work fine. How can I trace what is going on from the cli to see where it is failing [02:58] hipitihop, are you attaching to the same hub [02:58] ok, i guess i will try restarting [02:58] it says install finished [02:58] thanks.... [03:00] escott, yes, but I have also tried on different machines, one with 12.04.1 and one with 10.04, same issue === Dreadtower is now known as Breadflour [03:00] ok i just restarted and now the backtrack grub sections are gone completely. [03:01] how do i get them back [03:01] hipitihop, it could be something different about that usb device [03:01] Pinkamena_D, update-grub will regenerate the grub.cfg. since you just installed backtrack ubuntu hasn't yet realized that backtrack exists [03:02] is their a way to rescan or something you have to tell ubuntu manually [03:02] escott, sure, but it should still just attach it, the fact the guest os may not know what to do with it unless it has driver is a separate issue [03:03] escott, many other report similar issue and some point at the udev rules, but since other things attach fine, I'm doubting that is a problem === shaneo is now known as ShaneO === ShaneO is now known as shaneo [03:04] hipitihop, its not something i know much about [03:04] escott, there is also this and I wonder if simular issue is plaguing me https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=783714 [03:04] bugzilla.redhat.com bug 783714 in libmtp "/lib/udev/mtp-probe prevents VirtualBox from accessing an USB scanner" [Unspecified,Closed: errata] [03:07] hi, me yet again. Thanks, that did the trick. Could you tell me what that first command was again so i remember it? [03:07] with the dev/sda [03:08] Pinkamena_D, when you installed backtrack it put its grub on the mbr so it was booting off of /boot under the backtrack /. grub-install set the mbr to ubuntu's grub so you were booting off of /boot under ubuntu [03:09] so first install to set the "Default" os, then update [03:09] which commands would i need to issue in order to attempt to ping the machines on my local network? [03:09] Pinkamena_D, if you are the kind of person who likes to experiment with lots of different distros you might consider something like kvm [03:09] i.e. find out my local network ip address , send out pings [03:09] machicola, ifconfig to figure out your ip address [03:09] i will look into it [03:10] escott, I'm suspecting something like the kernel detecting the device and grabing it via mpt-probe or the like, but I don't know how to see if that is the case or how to stop mtp-probe [03:10] escott, ok... when i do that is it Bcast:'this_ip_here' I'm pinging exactly? [03:11] i think it is the broadcast adress i need to ping but wasn't exactly sure about how to do that, i know theres a mask too [03:11] what were you trying to ping exactly? [03:11] machicola, the broadcast address ends in 255s, but i think you have to be root to do broadcast pings, and i dont think clients are required to respond [03:12] all of the machines on my local network [03:12] ahhh, ok [03:12] just run the ping command with the -b [03:13] machicola, when i ping the broadcast address i am greated with dead silence [03:13] yeah, i've been using -b, i think its just this network.... some networks do seem to allow it though [03:13] escott, same thing here [03:13] funny, i get planty of replies from mine [03:13] owell [03:13] at the moment, even though there are many computers on the network [03:15] machicola, you might try http://www.unixwiz.net/tools/nbtscan.html === ZzBomb is now known as HarryPotter [03:16] cool, thanks escott [03:17] machicola, you can also try nmap or just script out a ping (Depending on how large your network is) [03:17] machicola, but nothing requires a host to respond to anything === zmallah is now known as ztag100 [03:27] Need some Buick help.

[03:57] escott, for future reference, I was able to fix it by plugging in a second keyboard, forcing it to reset the state. Incase anyone else comes around asking. [03:58] Got a question about process and input output/X-Windows... I got an application that is started and MUST be opened in a graphical window or else it fails. I manage this app through a vnc 4 server currently, and in vnc I run it in a fluxbox wm (lightweight) using bash. I would like to be able to start that program through bash from a command line only and redirect the X11 traffic to the original desktop (in this case through vnc); can I [03:59] command line would be started on my desktop (normal ssh) [04:01] is there a way to test a serial port on ubuntu server via a windows machine running putty? [04:01] does it have to be a null modem serial cable? [04:03] systems7: no it does not but the output will be messed up but you will see that it is sending/receiving. [04:03] do i have to get something for ubuntu server? [04:03] some type of terminal program [04:04] alien2050, most applications crash when you try to migrate them to another X server [04:04] yea, something like minicom or route a shell to it but installing minicom might be easier, it is a simple terminal. [04:05] you mean if I try and disown the process from my desktop ? [04:05] alien2050, migration of the backing server is in the X spec, but its not well supported by almost all applications. you are likely to SEGV if you try to redirect away from the X server backing your VNC server [04:06] awa [04:07] hmmm I see... but how would I test it ? [04:09] alien2050, see "xmove" [04:09] hi guys, i'm really sorry i don't see a vdr channel on here and the guys in #debian already seem to sleep, well vdr is also working on ubuntu so it's anyhow also related to ubuntu :D come on please i have a problem while i try to start vdr it always says cannot access /var/lib/video.00 although it works when i say vdr -v /srv/vdr [04:10] escott: cool! thx [04:10] I'll have a look [04:10] alien2050, although xmove works the same way as vnc [04:10] alien2050, maybe less overhead since it doesnt have to translate X11->vnc->x11 [04:11] alien2050, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xmove [04:11] not only that, this app is running on hundreds of servers so... that's why I would like an easy way to restart parts of the cluster this way [04:12] logging to vnc one by one is long and boring [04:15] linux kernel is written in C correct? [04:16] mufasa: yes. [04:16] there's also many other solutions on the wiki article, thx escott, this should give me a basis for figuring out the best approach (if at all possible) [04:17] i'm sorry i have to go [04:17] bye [04:18] Anyone know where I could download a linux kernel that is pure source so I can tinker for fun? [04:20] mufasa: apt-get linux-source [04:20] mufasa: apt-get install linux-source [04:21] ty [04:22] I am hoping to tinker with the kernel and develop my own. this would be the best way to do this? then incorporate the kernel into a custom made or another pre-existing linux distribution? I imagine Gentoo would be the easiest to add my kernel into it [04:23] mufasa: to ask the question indicates that the goal is a bit outside of reach. Good luck though. btw other distros are outside of the realm of ubuntu support. [04:24] mufasa, you have the ubuntu config in /boot so start with that [04:24] I asked the question knowing that the goal is out of reach currently. If I am not asking the question, then I am not learning, or starting the process of learning. I am wanting to learn this for fun. [04:25] All I have done with my programming experience to date is writing programs and applications.

[06:08] thank you [06:08] wmorri: thats the default directory [06:08] wmorri: so use: cd /home/ftp [06:09] it says that it doesn't exist [06:10] I need to have my ftp open to /var/www folder [06:10] wmorri: check /home/{your_user_name) [06:10] wmorri: oh well then you need to change the settigns [06:10] wmorri: check /home/{your_user_name)/ftp [06:10] or [06:10] wmorri: check /home/{your_user_name)/.vftp [06:11] oops I meant...

[06:13] wmorri: but if you want to change the default directory, I'd look into "configuring vsftp ubunbu" [06:13] why use vsftp though? [06:13] wifioregon: I will look that up. Thanks [06:14] when you could use Open-ssh and then use Sftp or scp [06:14] which is FTP but encrypted [06:14] waaay more secure [06:14] wifioregon: i guess i just don't know enough about scp so i will have to learn [06:15] does anyone have some experience with ubuntu studio? [06:15] wmorri: Its just as easy to use as FTP but WAY better [06:15] wmorri: FTP is quiet insecure. Its unencrypted [06:16] wifioregon, I guess that i will look that up and do some learning on it. [06:16] scp is quite easy - i had never used it, googled it and was able to achieve what i wanted to in a few minutes [06:16] wmorri: I would. Have you checked our http://www.ubuntuguides.org? [06:16] Ubuntu Guides has guides for just about everything. Really well done and easy to use [06:17] it has a whole networking section even [06:17] wmorri: and it has the proper commands on how to setup serveres [06:18] I will have a look at it right now.

[08:09] ok thanks for your help [08:09] rkhshm: you're welcome. it was informative for me, too :D [08:09] tapas: that was nice then [08:10] in the file browser if I've got my camera phone connected, there are two bars at the top of the file window saying "The medium contains digital photos" and "These files are on a digital audio player" [08:11] is there a way to remove those bars? I don't want to use shotwell or rhythmbox, ever [08:11] I do want the space back in my window though [08:11] gordonjcp: ugh, using gnome? ;D [08:11] Unity [08:12] isn't unity based on the idea, that you can't configure anything? [08:12] not really, no [08:12] there ought to be a way to hide those though [08:12] sorry, i shut up now.. but i have given up on gnome shell and unity a while ago.. [08:12] yeah [08:12] I tried KDE but there *really* is no way to configure anything [08:13] everything you do in KDE appears to be accompanied by earsplittingly loud bongs and tweets, with no obvious way to shut it up [08:13] gordonjcp: aah :D [08:13] gordonjcp: that's a simple one.. [08:13] tapas: and have you seen the KDE control panel? How are you supposed to do anything with that? [08:14] gordonjcp, have you tried looking in the gconf-editor? [08:14] Mechdave: yeah, it's just as bad as the KDE control panel [08:14] system settings -> notifications -> player settings -> "no audio output" [08:14] i wonder why anyone in the world would want his system to go bleep on every mouse vclick [08:15] still every OS in the world ships with these on by default.. [08:15] gordonjcp: i agree though, that the kde system settings are a mess, too [08:16] gordonjcp: too bad gnome 2 was replaced by these other abominations ;D [08:16] gordonjcp: it was bearable.. [08:16] I prefer Unity to Gnome 2 [08:16] although I'd prefer if they didn't do the stupid menus along the top thingh [08:16] that's the biggest misfeature stolen from Mac OS [08:16] gordonjcp: i think you can turn that off.. [08:16] yeah, I've got it turned off [08:17] it's a bloody stupid idea on the Mac, and it's a bloody stupid idea in Linux [08:17] it's horrible though.. [08:17] also the one thing that annoys me the most on the mac.. [08:17] :D [08:17] it's an utterly retarded hangover from when the Mac could only run single apps [08:17] it makes focus follows mouse impossible.. [08:18] gordonjcp & tapas ... I think the best thing about a feature like that is the ability to easily, and by default, be able to turn it on/off [08:18] [for the simple reason that you might cross another window on your way from the window to the menu bar] [08:18] Sadly, its the one Unity feature I miss using my customized Gnome-Shell DE [08:18] m000gle: yeah, on mac one cannot turn it off... so one up for unity [08:19] guys lets stick to ubuntu support topic [08:19] one thing that annoys me, too, though, is the OT nazis in otherwise non-busy channels.. ;D [08:19] tapas: Agreed, now if only Shell could get the option to use it, we would all be happy hahaha :) [08:19] Ok, will do [08:19] tapas:if everyone would discuss stuff in here.. [08:20] lotuspsychje: in here it's currently quiet [08:20] and we are at least tangentially discussing Ubuntu and its support [08:20] gordonjcp:still it remains an ubuntu support channel [08:20] yup [08:20] which is what we're discussing [08:20] i reserve the right to rely on my own judgement when OT chatter is OK or not.. (with 20 years of IRC experience i think that's ok) [08:20] tapas: indeed [08:21] tapas: I don't have as much IRC experience as you [08:21] possibly only maybe 18 years [08:21] gordonjcp: :D [08:21] I've been using IRC as long as I've been using Linux, pretty near [08:21] gordonjcp: yeah, i discovered linux by going to a CCC in hamburg 20 years ago. and my first experience with unix was sitting in front of a terminal with an IRC client.. [08:22] next to my buddy.. we joined a channel and annoyed everyone.. [08:22] tapas: my first experience of Unix was on some horking great Sun box at uni, in the early 90s [08:22] lotuspsychje: Is there an official Ubuntu Chat channel, or something similar, for regular discussion? Like, Ubuntu related, but not support per se. [08:22] !ot | m000gle [08:22] m000gle: #ubuntu-offtopic [08:22] m000gle: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[09:00] hey guys when i want to copy a file i click on copy but paste is not available [09:00] why? [09:00] jdghkhf try ctrl p [09:01] jdghkhf: you may be trying to paste on a readonly folder..can u try pasting on some other folder?

[09:01] now it worked [09:01] thanks guys [09:01] hi there. I search for an behaviour but only get exception-threads shown in google. -- In the terminal I like to have tab shown all options on first press and iterating over them with each following press. whats might be an apt for that? [09:02] ok thanks.. here's the deal. Moved house no internet now for 2 months until ISP dig up cable in road. Neighbour kindly gave network key to her wifi only thing is signal too weak. Anyways I have a laptop set up on windowsill - managed to set up internet connection sharing on it which then feeds the internet connected into a router in my house that "boosts" it to rest of building. So… when clients connect via wifi they are assigned IP addresses in the forma [09:02] t 10.42.0.XX with the default route as 10.42.0.1 I have just wiped my "server" which all my clients connect to in my house that streams movies etc to the HTPC's and holds things like samba shares etc. I want to continue to use my old ip rage and use that server as the DHCP server with ip's formatted in the 192.168.1.X and the server address being 192.168.1.1. Haven't even managed to set up a static IP on the server as 192.168.1.1. Clueless. THink it might [09:02] be something to do with setting a static route? not sure [09:02] gsned: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:04] LeMike1: cycling options is default in zsh shell i think..not sure how to do it in ubuntu terminal..can u google for cycling tab options in bash? [09:08] what is the suitable Virtualization for ubuntu [09:09] Patel: virtualbox [09:09] i would like to install on my ubuntu [09:09] Patel, Ubuntu as a host? VMWare [09:09] yes [09:09] VirtualBox taints the kernel, VMWare does not [09:10] so what is preferable for me ? vbox or VMware [09:10] WarOfTheNerd: isn't virtualbox open source? [09:10] is the license incompatible? [09:10] tapas, it is but it's TAINTED_CRAP flaged [09:10] hola [09:10] tapas, the Linux kernel developers on LKML flagged it as being crap and now it taints the kernel [09:11] WarOfTheNerd: ah ok.. [09:11] so what is preferable for me ? vbox or VMware [09:11] Patel, VMWare Player ideally [09:11] virtualbox [09:12] Patel, it's free of charge, supports 3D and doesn't taint the kernel, unlike VirtualBox [09:12] how can vmware not taint the kernel? it's closed source, no? and it uses kernel modules, too? [09:12] tapas, the kernel module is open source [09:12] porke tengo problemas con una alfa con ubuntu , alguien me puede decir ¿? [09:12] WarOfTheNerd: oh ok :D [09:13] detectarla la detecta pero njo me deja navegar [09:13] ok, i'm going to install VMware player [09:13] tnx [09:13] <[x]> how to enable universe' [09:13] tapas, basically vmware-vmx runs setuid root and has a thin kernel module which is open source; so it doesn't taint. Surprising eh? :P [09:13] WarOfTheNerd: indeed [09:13] sorry [09:14] tapas, I can't wait for KVM to have full 3D and decent USB support... then VMWare can go in the bin ^.^ === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [09:15] aaa111: tab in ubuntu terminal is only cycling OR enlist what's possible. not both :/ so I stay with listing the possibilities or using zsh [09:16] <[x]> ultim00se [09:16] LeMike1: do u use terminal daily? zsh has many other features too..u will find it useful [09:17] aa [09:17] WarOfTheNerd: KVM actually already has it. :P [09:18] Aaa111, what best features of zsh compared other terminal? [09:18] bekks, when it does it for gaming in Windows, KVM will be my hero :D [09:18] yee, often. got to figure out how to put my bash_aliases in there then I will test it ;) thanks aaa111 [09:18] Hello, i just wanted to install ubuntu and recived Failed to read sector 0x5xxxxx on cd0 after i press install this happense. DVD is new which i burned 12.10 version, and i checked md5sum. [09:18] Anything else what could be wrong? [09:19] WarOfTheNerd: It does. KVM supports the passthrough of PCI/PCIe devices. So you can pass through your graphics adapter and your USB controller to a vm. [09:19] bekks, does it need anything special in terms of processor/mobo support? [09:19] LeMike1: look for other peoples zshrc configuration..will have many useful things..most of ur bash aliases will work... [09:20] ok [09:20] hello [09:21] hello naynay [09:21] Naynay: greetings [09:21] guys, can someone please team viewer into my ubuntu and install squid reverse proxy for me? :( [09:21] <-- window nab here [09:22] I just noticed that if I hit the ubuntu button for the application selection, then shut the lid on my latop, then came back later and opened it,... the user login window gets hidden behind the still-present application selection pane [09:23] abbas|, a lot of people here can do it ... But i think'better you should do it by yourself...it was a great learning [09:23] Hatori can i roll back to pre-installation state? [09:24] incase i mess up the squid settings [09:24] and i dont want to uninstall ubuntu to try again [09:24] Hello, i just wanted to install ubuntu and recived Failed to read sector 0x5xxxxx on cd0 after i press install this happense. DVD is new which i burned 12.10 version, and i checked md5sum...What could be wrong? [09:24] I have problems with an alpha, someone can tell me the ubuntu porke detected but will not let me navigate [09:24] ArcaneWater: failed to burn properly? [09:24] ArcaneWater: use a USB stick [09:25] abbas|, yes, you can purge your squid completely includes your config ... But, i notice, maybe better you ,make a note what are you have been doing [09:25] gordonjcp i tryed USB stick, with 12.10 but when it come to i should choose installed them by side (Dual boot-already windows on it) it just says thath there was no OS Detected...and it only give me to format it and few other options [09:25] hatori, do i need to trigger some 'state' store, bfore i start instaling squid? [09:26] ArcaneWater: there is no functional difference between booting from USB and booting from optical media, it's just that USB is much more reliable [09:26] I use ubuntu 11.10 and alpha is a AWUS036H [09:26] ArcaneWater: also, since it's 12.10, ask in #ubuntu+1 [09:26] gordonjcp is there anything else to make boot usb or is only possible with Lili? [09:26] abbas|, commonly not needed [09:27] ok cool [09:27] Hatori im confused between so many tutoralis? [09:27] do i need to make ssl certs [09:27] to be able to allow port 443 transmission from my tv -> laptop (squid) -> vpn [09:28] i tried with tiny proxy etc but my tv seems to detect [09:28] abbas|, focus on one tutor..and try it on trial server before placing it on productions... [09:28] or well, sony on the other end detects [09:28] when i use a proxy. [09:28] hmmm [09:29] Abbas|, for learning purposes, ssl maybe was setup if you have deep knowledge on confug them [09:29] Hatori , all i want is , my tv be able to transmist port 443 transmission via the proxy [09:29] without the tv or the server on the other end detecting the proxy [09:30] config [09:30] abbas|, ssl usually needed for secure communication [09:30] i dont think if tv uses ssl. i think its https [09:30] on port 443 [09:30] thats what i saw in squid logs [09:30] even https from mobile -> squid -> works [09:31] https site, i..e google etc. but the tv refuses to connect via it [09:31] thats mean for https, http over secure channel, maybe ssl/tls [09:31] oh [09:31] so i DO need ssl then? [09:32] but i heard, proxies modify the packets going via ssl, which means [09:32] man in middle. that is eaisly detectable on server end [09:32] abbas|, i think you need setup on [09:32] can my proxy simple pass over ssl packets, while being invisible? [09:32] i know that it was possible on ccproxy on windows 7. but ccproxy fails to work now [09:32] Abbas|, if a proxy intercepts SSL and tries to decrypt it, the user will know [09:32] as the cert won't match the site [09:33] WarOfTheNerd , yeah thats why i want it to be invisilbe [09:33] and just pass on packets, without interfereing [09:33] <[x]> WarOfTheNerd: You will have to enable component called 'universe' ? how to enable ? [09:33] but, we know, proxy over ssl was hard to configure [09:33] Abbas|, proxies do that normally [09:33] [x], it's now enabled by default [09:33] <[x]> no [09:34] <[x]> WarOfTheNerd: The program 'finger@' can be found in the following packages: [09:34] <[x]> * ucspi-tcp (You will have to enable component called 'universe') [09:34] <[x]> * ucspi-tcp-ipv6 (You will have to enable component called 'universe') [09:34] <[x]> Tryy3: apt-get install [09:34] <[x]> ? [09:34] [x], edit /etc/apt/sources.list [09:35] [x], but universe is normally enabled by default [09:35] In a sentence, I am looking for somebody knowledgable in web servers to help me think through the software I would need to put together a simple, nondescript personal webpage blog/journal.

[10:10] !partition | ArmyMan007 [10:10] ArmyMan007: 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 [10:10] ArmyMan007: first link in that, look for "Basic Partitioning Scheme" [10:10] gordonjcp, T_T [10:10] !swap [10:10] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [10:11] ArmyMan007: obviously you don't have 2TB so scale it to suit [10:11] ArmyMan007: Then do it like this: 512M /boot, 4GB swap, 30GB /, 10 GB /, all the rest for /data [10:11] ArmyMan007: if it's going to be the *only* OS on the disk, make /home as big as possible [10:11] gordonjcp: Which is not a good idea, since personal data do not need that much space. [10:11] bekks: well, what else are you going to do with it? [10:12] gordonjcp: Assigning it to /data [10:12] 99% of "data" have nothing to do with personal data like settings, personal documents, etc. [10:12] bekks, what should be the mount point for each of them, and what good is /data for? [10:12] thats dependable on their need [10:13] ArmyMan007: I wrote the mountpoints... [10:13] bekks: I currently have 240GB in ~ ... [10:13] ArmyMan007: Then do it like this: 512M /boot, 4GB swap, 30GB /, 10 GB /home, all the rest for /data [10:13] bekks: that's *without* the SAN mounted [10:13] gordonjcp: I have less than 500M in /home. [10:13] gordonjcp: SAN? or NAS? [10:13] bekks: we obviously work on very different things [10:13] bekks: SAN [10:13] bekks, can we PM? [10:14] bekks: I have a 120GB NAS but it lives in my van ;-) [10:14] ArmyMan007: We can discuss it in here :) [10:14] so... 30GB and 10GB use as EXT4? === Abbas5 is now known as Abbas- === Abbas- is now known as Abbas5 [10:15] hi all can any one tell me how to search multiple process using pgrep & kill multiple process using pkill cmd [10:15] use everything except SWAP with EXT4? [10:15] ArmyMan007: Yes. [10:16] and again, what is DATA useful for? [10:16] gordonjcp: Which SAN do you habe attached? [10:16] bekks: homebrew ATAoE storage shelf [10:16] ArmyMan007: For storing DATA, like your movies, songs, whatever. [10:16] gordonjcp: Ah ok. I'm only dealing with FC SAN :) [10:16] bekks: I'm only running 4TB in it just now but I've got 16TB of disks ordered ;-) [10:16] and it's all going to appear in a /data folder in the new ubuntu? [10:17] ArmyMan007: correct [10:17] bekks: yeah, I'd love to get some FC stuff, it's getting cheap these days [10:17] great [10:17] thanks a bunch :D [10:17] all are primary right? [10:17] ArmyMan007: No. [10:17] what would be primary and what would be logical? [10:18] ArmyMan007: /boot is primary, swap too, / too. Then create an extended partition, and create two logical partitions for /home and for /data [10:18] wew [10:18] great [10:18] thanks a bunch :) [10:18] gonna work on it right now [10:20] hi all can any one tell me how to search multiple process using pgrep & kill multiple process using pkill cmd [10:20] Hi everyone! I can't write reviews in my language in Software Center. My reviews fall to English while my system language is Ossetic. Can anyone help me? === Abbas5 is now known as Abbas| === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo === maniac is now known as Guest42113 [10:25] <[x]> JoFo:how to change ubuntu = desired nick [10:26] [x]: Please rephrase. Which "nick" do you want to change where? [10:27] [x] type /nick blah === user is now known as layer8 [10:30] <[x]> ok MonkeyDust [10:30] <[x]> type /nick ? [10:30] <[x]> lol [10:31] <[x]> bekks: root@bt i wanna change that root to desired nick ? [10:33] hey bekks, for the mount point of /data, what should I select: /tmp, /usr, /var, /srv, /opt, /usr/local? [10:34] !ping [10:34] another contentless ping... sigh... [10:35] hey bekks, for the mount point of /data, what should I select: /tmp, /usr, /var, /srv, /opt, /usr/local? [10:37] ArmyMan007: manual selection, "/data". [10:38] bekks, there is no such option, i've looked through all of the mount points [10:39] ArmyMan007: what options have you got? /opt would do [10:39] anything that's not /usr, /var or /home ;-) [10:39] or /boot === Abbas5 is now known as Abbas- [10:39] ArmyMan007: There is such an option. === Abbas- is now known as Abbas5 [10:40] gordonjcp, /tmp, /usr, /var, /srv, /opt, /usr/local? [10:40] I'd go for /srv [10:40] ArmyMan007: No. /data is NOT /tmp, /usr, /var, /srv, /opt, /usr/local [10:40] bekks, nope, still nothing... should i mention that i'm installing the X64 version? [10:40] ArmyMan007: I know there's such an option in x64 version. [10:40] it's intended for server-specific data so if you're going to bung your media files and stuff in there, it makes some sort of warped sense [10:40] ArmyMan007: it's just a name, it's not hugely important [10:40] Used it a hundred time already. [10:41] then i seem to be having a problem [10:41] i can't see it in the mount point [10:41] bekks: I can't see it in x86-64, and I'm at that point in the install [10:41] ArmyMan007: it's not important, use /srv [10:41] ArmyMan007: with a bit of skill and ingenuity, you can change it later [10:42] gordonjcp: You can assign a user defined mountpoint for every partition since... 6.04, which was the first Ubuntu I've seen. [10:42] ok... so gordonjcp, in the meantime install it as a /srv with all the GB left on it, then change it l8er with Gparted? [10:42] hi all can any one tell me how to search multiple process using pgrep & kill multiple process using pkill cmd [10:42] ArmyMan007: You dont have to use gparted to change that later on. [10:42] bekks, so i should just write /data? [10:42] I'm looking to backup my thunderbird mails but there isn't any .thunderbird file in my home directory (yes I'm showing hidden files) Has it been moved in Ubuntu 12.04? [10:43] ArmyMan007: Yes... [10:43] sasuke: Why, "pgrep name" will find all the process ids that match "name" [10:43] Elvano-: maybe ~/.config/ . If not, use find to search for it [10:43] bekks, T__T well... better l8er then never [10:43] bekks: I'm not even seeing an option to put in a user-defined one [10:43] theadmin, i didnt get you [10:43] Elvano-: or ~/.mozilla/ [10:43] sasuke: "pkill name" will kill all processes that match "name", that's what pgrep and pkill are *designed* for [10:43] theadmin, we will get process id's right [10:43] sasuke: Right [10:44] bekks: I must admit I'm not looking terribly hard because I'm more keen to just get the thing installed [10:44] gordonjcp: :) [10:44] so... to sum up: 1GB boot, 4GB swap, 30GB / (all primary), 10GB home and the rest just type "/data" in the mount point and set to go :D [10:44] right? [10:44] .mozilla is present but I didn't see anything besides firefox and addons in it =/ @ jrib [10:45] theadmin, pkill is only kill one process at a time. its not working if i give multiple names [10:45] Elvano-: I'm just making guesses for you. I don't actually have thunderbird installed [10:45] theadmin, i used like this pkill -9 thunderbird, xchat [10:45] All help is appriciated, jrib [10:45] sasuke: Why are you using a comma === Abbas5 is now known as Abbas| [10:46] sasuke: The patterns for pgrep and pkill are extended regexes, so you use it like this: pkill -9 'thunderbird|xchat' [10:46] well... seems to me i got it right [10:46] better start working on it [10:46] sasuke: Or you could use a loop: for i in thunderbird xchat ; do pkill -9 $i ; done [10:47] sasuke: Whichever works better for you [10:47] theadmin, ok.. [10:47] theadmin, thanks [10:50] So anyone else have an idea where I can find the .thunderbird folder on my drive? [10:51] theadmin, one more doubt. i am using this command ( thunderbird & ; xchat & ; skype & ; ), but it didnt work. can you tell me whats wrong in this [10:51] Elvano-, open a terminal: locate .thunderbird [10:51] Elvano-: open a terminal and run this: find . -name *hunderbird* [10:51] sasuke: What exactly are you trying to do [10:51] Elvano-, should be in: /home/youruser/.thunderbird [10:51] ardchoille: False! That would use the shell's matching. Take that in quotes. [10:52] ardchoille: find . -name '*thunderbird*', that is [10:52] ardchoille, locate is faster ;) [10:52] sasuke: get rid of the ';' [10:52] subz3r0: Only if you have a database :P [10:52] theadmin, i am new to linux. for learning purpose i am practising... but unable to do this [10:52] theadmin, k you got me ;) [10:52] theadmin: using "False!" doesn't really encourage one to listen to you. Perhaps you should start using "I feel that.." instead? [10:52] subz3r0: What *do* you want to do? I can't tell from that command, it looks weird to me [10:53] subz3r0: indeed [10:53] ardchoille: Guess I was kinda rude, you're right [10:53] theadmin, me? nothing, just told him how to locate his .thunderbird directory [10:53] subz3r0: Oh, sorry, mistab [10:53] jrib, its working thanks [10:54] apperently neither return anything; subz3r0, ardchoille [10:54] Elvano-: when was the last time you used Thunderbird? I am using it here and have the .thunderbird dir in ~ [10:55] I used it last a week or 2 ago, before my system crached. I'm now using a live CD to try to backup it, archoille [10:56] Elvano-: Well, for some reason the folder is no longer there. were you using it with a pop3 account? If so your emails may still be on the server [10:57] but my accountsettings should be kept somewhere, no? @ ardchoille [10:57] Elvano-: you're suing a live cd? Are you sure you're in the installed system home dir and not the live cd home dir? [10:57] s/suing/using/ [10:57] I'm positiveI'm in the correct folder, ardchoille [10:58] ok [10:58] it is indeed a mystery [10:58] Elvano-: Just to be sure, what is the output of "pwd"? [10:59] Hello, again me^^ I finaly managed to fix usb so now i proceed with installation, and it still not detecting thath i have Windows 7 installed i runed boot repair here is log: http://pastebin.com/SgLRkRpU if anyone can help me what to do to it will detect windows so i can make dual boot. [11:00] it gives my live CD's homefolder, but I've the mounted disc in my nautilus and a looking there @ theadmin [11:00] Elvano-: Well, if you run those commands while in the livecd's home folder they won't return anything. [11:01] Elvano-: locate sometimes won't show the correct content due to the slocate database not being fully up to date. and find needs to be run in the proper path in order to find things. try running that find command again while actually being in the installed home dir [11:03] I finaly managed to fix usb so now i proceed with installation, and it still not detecting thath i have Windows 7 installed i runed boot repair here is log: http://pastebin.com/SgLRkRpU if anyone can help me what to do to it will detect windows so i can make dual boot.

[11:04] i'd tell find where to look instead fiddling with $PWD (find path/where/i/guess/it/is -iname 'foo*') [11:05] theadmin: may I pm you when you have a moment? [11:05] ubottu i know yes i found thath already thanks anyway :) But installation is not detecting thath Windows is already installed. [11:05] ArcaneWater: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [11:05] ardchoille: Go ahead [11:05] lol :D [11:05] I was asking a bot xD [11:06] Virunga: cp has no way to filter the results, but you may use a ls+grep combo or find [11:06] ArcaneWater: did you do update-grub already? [11:06] theadmin: ok, do you know the regular expression i could you? [11:07] lotuspsychje actualy i am new to this ^^ I just fixed my cd because md5sums were not matching, now i have this problem, then i runed boot-repair and recived this log. [11:07] Virunga: short answer: you'll need to write an if/then/cp [11:07] does anyone know how to install 2nd life (game) in ubuntu? [11:07] it returned './.thunderbird' where's that, ardchoille? [11:08] ArcaneWater:open a terminal and type sudo upate-grub then reboot [11:08] Virunga: Something along the lines of: find your_directory -not '\~$' -exec cp '{}' destination \; [11:08] Elvano-: home folder... in your file browser press control h to show 'hidden' files [11:08] uBUXUBu:did you try playonlinux? [11:08] They're on visible, crimsonmane [11:08] Virunga: Add -maxdepth 1 after the directory if you don't need recursion [11:08] lotuspsychje i should to thath where in ubunt preview? Or in boot-repair? [11:09] what is that lotuspsychje [11:09] Elvano-: that's in the installed system home dir.. where it's supposed to be :) [11:09] theadmin: ok, i'll try, thanks [11:09] !info playonlinux | uBUXUBu [11:09] uBUXUBu: playonlinux (source: playonlinux): front-end for Wine. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 4.0.14-1 (precise), package size 2031 kB, installed size 3594 kB [11:09] But why doesn't nautilus show it to me eventhough it shows all the other hidden files [11:09] hi [11:09] ArcaneWater:are you in ubuntu right now? if yes from ubuntu terminal [11:09] how would that help me? [11:10] Elvano-: because you aren't in the proper dir? [11:10] lotuspsychje nope i am not on ubuntu, cause i am trying to install but no sucess yet because i will creat dual boot...Now i am on windows [11:10] uBUXUBu:playonlinux can make life easier installing many known games on ubuntu [11:10] uBUXUBu: PlayOnLinux helps to run Windows games/apps [11:10] I am D; ardchoille [11:11] hmm ok i suppose that is in the software center and maybe if i get it it will be self explanantory [11:11] ArcaneWater: try installing win7 first, then from there create new partition for ubuntu, then install ubuntu next to win7 [11:11] hopem it works thanks lotuspsychje and theadmin [11:11] Elvano-: if "find" found the .thunderbird folder but nautilus doesn't then you aren't in the proper dir. You may think you are.. but.. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [11:12] lotuspsychje huh there is no other way to fix thath? I already have second partition... [11:12] ArcaneWater:cant you boot ubuntu next to win7? [11:13] Elvano-: You sure hidden files are shown? Hit Ctrl-H to see them in Nautilus [11:13] Look, the patch in the terminal is identical to the path in nautilus. If I'm not in the correct folder that's what nautilus thinks as well... ._. @ardchoille [11:13] I seriously have the feeling you're all thinking I'm dumb D; @ theadmin [11:13] lotuspsychje i can boot from usb and proceed with install, when there should be install them by side it says thath there were no os detected... [11:14] Elvano-: Not at all, just eliminating the simple things [11:14] Elvano-: what path in the terminal? type "pwd" and check to see if that returns the same thing that is in nautilus [11:14] ArcaneWater:so when trying to install ubuntu, it doesnt show win7? [11:14] Elvano-: we don't think you're dumb, we're just trying to eliminate the small things first. I've been on Ubuntu since 2005 and even I make silly listakes [11:15] ArcaneWater: os you mean win7 got corrupted to proper boot? [11:15] hi [11:15] Elvano-, file system>home>username>.thunderbird ..under hidden files [11:16] Ray2: That's on a normal system, (s)he's using a livecd [11:16] when i try to take screenshot with it is not saves to picture folder only slash screen comes? [11:16] lotuspsychje i already have win7 yes i am using it right now, for dual boot it says thath it will autmaticaly detected win7 and it will give you option Install them by side. But at my installation does not detect w7, but i can still normaly use w7 [11:17] ArcaneWater:ok that was clear now [11:17] archoille, it just returns me the same path. [11:18] Elvano-: where is the installed system mounted? /mnt? /media? What is the path? [11:19] ArcaneWater:look at this url http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2012/05/17/how-to-dual-boot-ubuntu-12-04-and-windows-7/ and look at the 'something else' partitioning [11:19] in /media/ ... ardchoille [11:20] Elvano-: ok, so this command should work if you get the proper username on the installed system: [11:20] cp -r /media/home/usernamehere/.thunderbird /path/to/target [11:21] brb [11:21] Nice, I always wondered how to copy through the terminal, archoille. Let me try it [11:21] how to fix the save option of gnome -screenshot? [11:21] lotuspsychje hmm yes i was already thinking about thath to install them seperated, but still strange thath it does not gives me option to install them by side.. [11:21] Elvano-: change the usernamehere bit to your installed system user [11:25] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1265455/ [11:26] it says 'no such name or directory' D; [11:26] elvano, list it with ls [11:26] Elvano-: ls /media/home [11:26] hitler gangnam http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCfuZ9YmqiI [11:26] can someone help me "bridge" 2 connections - accessing internet via wlan0. want clients to connect to server running dhcp3 server via eth0 (that has a static ip) and share the internet connection onto rest of network via eth0 [11:27] anyone ever use redis under windows? [11:27] gsned, just setup ip forwarding and configure some iptables rules to masquerade [11:27] it should be /media/discname/home ,right ardchoille? [11:28] young001, redis [11:28] Elvano-: if your install system is mounted to /media then it should be /media/home [11:28] blackshirt, yes,redis [11:28] blackshirt - u able to point me in the right direction. i thought the first step would be to set eth0 as a static ip before even setting up dhcp3 server. soon as i do that can no longer access internet via wlan0 [11:28] !ot | young001 [11:28] young001: #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! [11:28] screenshot not working [11:29] blackshirt, ok,sorry for that [11:29] is a clean desktop install preferable to an upgrade (12.04 > 12.10) or will it amount to the same thing without having to re-install software etc [11:29] i prefer clean install [11:29] gsned, actually yes, but i'm sitting on handheld devices now, i can't help you too much [11:30] opalepatrick: personal pref, I always do clean installs.. but others prefer upgrades and have no problems === Mike_ is now known as Guest10658 [11:30] opalepatrick: why you need to upgrade? [11:30] blackshirt - any suggestions why internet no longer works when i set up static IP on eth0? [11:30] gsned: not set a default route? [11:30] gsned: no route defined? [11:30] there is no media/home there is a /media/diskname/home @ ardchoille [11:31] gsned, i think route problems [11:31] Elvano-: try: ls /mnt/home === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [11:31] iceroot, that is the question. Just feel like I am getting less performance and little niggles I never had before and previously always felt it was much faster etc after new install. [11:31] Just now, I cant interrupt workflow [11:31] my work I mean [11:31] how do i define that in network manager? eth0 ip 192.168.1.1 wlan0 gets ip from dhcp and is 10.42.0.55 [11:31] same, ardchoille [11:32] opalepatrick, i'm prefer for upgrades ... Clean install? Not anymore :d [11:32] Elvano-: ok, try: cp -r /media/diskname/home/usernamehere/.thunderbird /path/to/target [11:32] tried that, same notification @ ardchoille [11:33] gsned: in IPv4 settings, select "Manual" and add a set of addresses [11:33] Elvano-: ls /media [11:33] hi, before I go and mess up my system is there any reason why I can't install packages that where made for fedora, arch, etc on ubuntu? [11:33] ShapeShifter499: with unexpected consequences [11:34] shapeshiftter, tehnicallly you can :d [11:34] gordonjcp - in there just now. when editing ip4v routes for wired connectuib given option for address, net mask, gateway and metric. what do I put as the address - the address for eth0 or wlan0? [11:34] Ciao, qualcuno mi può aiutare che ho un problema con il monitor esterno [11:34] ShapeShifter499 ubuntu is based on debian, the others you name are not [11:34] !it [11:34] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [11:34] does seem to be personal pref. Could I install 12.10 in a separate partition alongside 12.04? Or would that cause its own problems? [11:34] it gives me the names of the mounted drives @ archoille [11:34] ShapeShifter499: it's best that you don't mix distro packages, you're asking for problems [11:34] but i don't want messed up my box [11:35] Sorry archoille, I need to go my battis dead, thanks for your help =x [11:35] ShapeShifter499: different libs versions, different deps. etc. [11:35] Elvano-: ok, you're welcome [11:35] shapeshiffter499, even you can, but it was bad things [11:35] ardchoille, even if the deps happen to be satisfied? [11:36] !update-grub [11:36] ShapeShifter499: and when you upgrade those deps? what happens to the apps you isntalled that were designed to be installed on other systems? [11:36] shapeshifter499, you can install it like other linux, that was make for linux.. [11:37] when i modify /etc/default/grub what do i run next to make it current? [11:37] dios_mio, update-grub2 [11:37] dios_mio: sudo update-grub [11:37] thanks [11:37] :) [11:37] ShapeShifter499: the best policy is to never mix distro packages, doing so will eventually cause you problems. [11:38] if it works at all [11:38] ^^ [11:38] shapeshifter499, ardchoille was right [11:38] ShapeShifter499: have you checked the ubuntu repos for the apps you want? the ubuntu repos are huge [11:39] I know I was just curious [11:39] ShapeShifter499: ok, good thing you asked beforehand :) [11:40] what entries do i put in to define ip4v route between eth0 and wlan0? both networks on same subnet 255.255.255.0 but eth0 has static ip assigned 192.168.1.1 and wlan0 gets ip from dhcp currently set to 10.42.0.55 [11:40] * ShapeShifter499 proceeds to "apt-get install yum" [11:40] yum? [11:41] ShapeShifter499: part of the problem will be deps. package A might have satisfied deps now but if those deps are upgraded by the ubuntu update mechanism then package A may not have satisifed deps because the ubuntu upgrade didn't upgrade the cross-distro package(s) [11:41] shapeshiffter499, if you want to know,is other distro packages can be installed on ubuntu linux, yes, you can, with bit a hack and some high risk [11:42] ShapeShifter499 if you're skilled enough, you can do anything you want [11:43] mmk === Boohbah is now known as Guest86326 === kaktuskuchen is now known as Guest9410 === karakedi is now known as Guest49081 === Dan__ is now known as Guest96749 === ubuntu is now known as Guest25620 [11:50] gsned: you put the address of your router [11:58] gordonjcp - i've got a box using internet connection sharing feeding the internet into the router (only way i can get access at present). when u say put ip address of router do you mean the router that boosts the signal to rest of my house or the address of the box doing the ICS? === Dad is now known as Guest18549 [11:59] gsned: I don't understand what you just said [11:59] gordonjcp can i PM u?

[12:14] hi guys! i need some information! A friend of mine has a 6yr old MSI machine, 32-bit, 2gig ram, 1,4 gig cpu i think [12:14] so i installed ubuntu on his machine [12:14] TreadStone___71:for wallpapers you can try deviantart.com [12:15] it works quite ok [12:15] but he's having sound issues [12:15] lotuspsychje thank you. [12:15] and it can lag sometimes, i presume it's because of unity [12:15] so [12:15] what could be worth installing as an alternative [12:15] ? [12:15] aykoola:you could try unity2d for lagging [12:15] lotuspsychje: try Gnome Look [12:15] NewWorld:thats a nice one too mate [12:16] NewWorld:i like the ubuntu desktop shots on deviant :p [12:16] lotuspsychje and what about maybe Xubuntu or something cinnamon flavoured like mint? === gvim is now known as Guest74780 [12:16] aykoola:mint is unsupported here, but xubuntu is very recommended [12:17] bharath: [12:17] aykoola:i recently installed xubuntu on very old laptop running very smooth [12:17] so it takes up less memory than unity? [12:17] i mean, significantly? [12:17] aykoola:yes mate [12:18] thanks again! But what about cinnamon in general, is it also less reasource hungry? [12:18] how do I rsync from a windows network?

[12:19] Now, when I run the installer to install Ubuntu on another partition (to avoid overwriting the ISO), here is the error I get: [12:19] The installer needs to commit changes to the partition table, but cannot do so because partitions on the following mount point could not be unmounted: /cdrom [12:19] !yay | aykoola [12:19] aykoola: Glad you made it! :-) [12:19] Do you have any idea to get around this problem? Text-based installer? [12:20] (When I hit the "Continue" button, the installer is stuck to "Detecting file system") [12:20] damms005 I havent tried it, but first thing on my mind: mount the windows partition(s) in linux and then use rsync [12:20] hello mlj [12:20] thanks again! see you guys!!! :) [12:20] I have tried it. It is not connectiong. How can I simply copy files from a connected windows computr to my computer? [12:21] Xinfe_: can you not unmount it manually prior to beginning the installation? [12:21] MonkeyDust: It is mounted (because I can use nautilus to browse it from the side panel) [12:21] damms005: you could ssh into the machines [12:21] damms005 sounds like a samba thingy to me [12:21] Confused. I think samba always come preinstalled [12:22] damms005: you can't just copy the files in Nautilus? [12:23] But I guess there is a way that nautilus is doing it (beacause I can simply copy using nautilus with address like smb:///jiballs-pc/Users) [12:23] Heya guys [12:23] hi, got a problem here with the kubuntu 12.04.1 desktop cd, during initial launch I get a lot of timeouts and finally a udevadm settle - timeout of 120 seconds reached, the splashscreen appears but hangs forever [12:23] I bought a new laptop (Proline), and it has a built in 3G modem.

[13:25] hipitihop: Your current one is also correct, but instead of: OPTIONS=="ignore_device" (== means condition, that is, before the rule is executed) use: OPTIONS="ignore_device" [13:26] At least that's what the intuition tells me [13:26] NewWorld silverarrow : I finally found a USB drive (my old iPod I almost never use), but I can't mount it ("The daemon is inhibited" from the GUI, and from the CLI: "mount: can't find /dev/disk/by-label/XINPOD in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab" [13:27] Xinfe: what's your mount cmd?

Add mount options and mountpoint. check man mount [13:28] theadmin: Indeed, I forgot the destination :) [13:29] theadmin, thanks will try that, can I also confirm that if I change the rule, it is enough to do "sudo udevadm trigger" [13:29] hipitihop: I'm... not too sure about when udev processes rules, I always just reboot after I add one [13:30] theadmin, a pain but ok. btw this is a dveice I can plug in and out like a usb flahs stick, so would it not use new rule next time I plug in [13:31] hipitihop: Again not sure, should but who knows [13:31] hipitihop, theadmin: service udev restart should be one way to avoid a complete system restart [13:31] jrib: udev is a daemon then? [13:32] theadmin: apparently; I know not much about udev's black magic [13:32] jrib thanks will try that also [13:33] theadmin, hipitihop: also udevadm has a --reload-rules option. Maybe you can call that from the init script (like "service apache2 reload"), or maybe you can just call it directly [13:34] jrib, note this is a device that gets hot plugged in/out so init seems unnecessary, or am I talking bollocks [13:35] hipitihop: not sure what you mean [13:35] hipitihop: by "init script" I just meant the script that the service command uses [13:35] jrib, you said "...from the init script" , I assumed you are talking about init that occurs on system startup [13:35] tapas: are you around, by any chance?

[13:38] after rebooted system login me in dos prompt screen [13:38] Stars, try startx [13:38] thanks [13:41] jrib, theadmin, service restart and trigger still not making any difference. udevadm doe snot seem to know --reload-rule .. will reboot brb [13:42] hipitihop: it's udevadm control --reload-rules === lux_ is now known as Guest91375 [13:45] jrib, ok udev swallowed that, and I also did service restart, still no joy, usbhid listed as driver as per my lin 8 & 9 in http://paste.ubuntu.com/1265111/ [13:45] will reboot, brb [13:49] Can anyone see anything here that would leave me with a black screen? http://pastebin.com/PWpkw2qj === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [13:52] jrib, theadmin, no joy, still listed with usbhid driver. Am I being reasonable to expect that to change once the ignore rule correctly fires ? [13:53] hipitihop: May I see the rule again?

It's unlikely that idVendor will be the same for some other device... [13:59] hipitihop: Or maybe specify BUS=="usb" [13:59] llutz: I can't, his parent is gnome-session [14:00] theadmin, is there not a rule priority too ? have I got that right ? [14:00] hipitihop: There might be, but that looks correct to me [14:00] hipitihop: If you mean the numbers before the filenames [14:00] yes [14:00] For the hell of it, you can name your file 1-ignore-stupid-device.rules to make sure it's the first one to be loaded [14:00] theadmin, and you saw the details for the device here ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1265111/ [14:01] williamherry: bad luck, then just wait until it vanishes. it's only an entry in the processlist which should harm in any way [14:01] theadmin, I thought the bigger the number the higher the priority, will have to re-read docs [14:02] hipitihop: Oh, that might be [14:02] llutz: ok [14:04] theadmin, and /etc/udev/rules.d is the only place for this stuff ? [14:04] hipitihop: Well unless Ubuntu did something weird to udev, yes [14:05] hello [14:05] can someone help me with installing ubuntu? ;D [14:06] paulens12: What's the problem? [14:06] paulens12, arent you typing this in ubuntu irc? [14:06] i need to configure all the partitions.. [14:06] I vaugelly remember having a similar issue many moons ago for an lirc device being grabbed and these rules were not enough, had to do something with another kernel setting somewhere [14:06] and i don't know, do i need all primary partitions? [14:06] paulens12: You don't. There are simplier options (install near current system, install instead of current system)... If you don't want to bother with the complicated stuff, don't know how to, use those [14:07] well, i want to know everything about the partitions i have... [14:07] paulens12: I recommenc you if you aren't an advanced user to do what theadmin said. [14:07] guys, i want to help someone build a website [14:08] and actually, i'm pretty advanced on computers... i just never used ubuntu... so i'm a bit confused about all those partitions... [14:08] john_271, [14:08] where can i turn to for such charity? [14:08] johnsnow, i have a project [14:08] paulens12, i've been passioned for doing a collab for a long time [14:08] but it's like open source... you won't get money.. lol [14:08] paulens12: Just use the simple options, seriously... [14:08] paulens12, yes thats my point [14:08] paulens12: Anyway, the basic idea is to have at least 2 partitions: a / and a swap [14:08] paulens12, i want to help someone 4 free [14:09] paulens12: You may also want a /home [14:09] ok john [14:09] umm [14:09] how do i open a private chat with this client.. xD [14:09] ok lol [14:09] i did that [14:09] I need to setup some kind of kernel dumping thing. My laptop keeps "locking up", responding to no input. Can't SSH into it and all applications stop. Magic SysReq doesn't work. Is there way to do a kernel dump when that happens? Pretty sure it's a hardware issue, but I want to cover my bases. [14:09] paulens12: /q id guess [14:10] well i just had to right-click on his nick... [14:10] anyways, i already have 3 primary partitions... [14:10] theadmin, BUS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="15b7", OPTIONS="ignore_device" no joy [14:10] and i need to install ubuntu without deleting them [14:10] hipitihop: hy do you want to ignore an usb device, specifically? [14:11] so, can the partitions be logical?.. because i can't have more than 4 primary partitions... [14:11] help! can't get sound to work! [14:11] paulens12: Yes. [14:12] Beep beep! [14:12] Installed 12.04 X64 just now and I have no sound... done the tutorial on the Ubuntu site but nothing help! [14:12] oh, ok... but i guess one of them must be primary... it won't boot from logical? [14:12] Installed 12.04 X64 just now and I have no sound... done the tutorial on the Ubuntu site but nothing helps! [14:12] bekks, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1265111/ is being grabbed and assigned usbhid driver [14:12] bekks, line 8 & 9 in pastebin [14:14] Hello, my desktop crashes and goes to the login in window when ever I left click "Dash home". I've done some search and have not found a solution to this yet. [14:14] bekks, to answer your question, I believe this is why this device, and only this usb device fails when I try to attach it to a virtualbox host [14:15] Installed 12.04 X64 just now and I have no sound... done the tutorial on the Ubuntu site but nothing helps! [14:16] ArmyMan007, Did that tutorial include running alsamixer in the terminal and checking if anything is muted, and checking the preferences in sound a right click on the icon, if you reference a page or tutorial post it we don't all know of them there are 1000's of wiki pages. === gvim is now known as Guest14378 [14:16] ArmyMan007, i think thats a bug :/ [14:16] hipitihop: Well, when you ignore that device, you will not be able to it it through to vbox. [14:17] hey [14:17] bekks, the specific error is "Failed to create a proxy device for the USB device. (Error: VERR_READ_ERROR)." & "Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) Component: Console Interface: IConsole {1968b7d3-e3bf-4ceb-99e0-cb7c913317bb}" [14:17] wilee-nilee: there's only one OFFICIAL tutorial given by the Ubuntu Dev team, and that's the one i've been working on. to sum up all of your questions: yes... and no, it didn't work [14:17] so i've been getting all kinds of contradictory info off the web... I have a bcm4313 wifi chip... which driver supports that device? [14:17] ArmyMan007, what do you see when you open your sound prefs [14:17] johnsnow: can't imagine... worked with previous versions before just fine, gotta work now again [14:17] any ideas why my printer scans but doesn t print, please? [14:17] ArmyMan007, I will take your word on that good luck. [14:17] bekks, maybe it's a long shot, thinking the wrong driver is being assigned. [14:17] so, i need only boot and swap partitions? [14:18] ArmyMan007, im quite dissapointed with ubuntu 12 tbh [14:18] kostkon: i get the output alright [14:18] so, i need only boot and swap partitions? [14:18] ArmyMan007, you mean you select an output device [14:18] hipitihop: The driver is irrelevant when passing it through to vbox. [14:18] johnsnow: i'm quite dissappointed with ubuntu ever since it moved to unity [14:18] hey all [14:18] paulens12: root is the only required partition (swap is advised) [14:18] kostkon: yes, i can select an output device [14:18] ok... [14:19] can root be logical?.. [14:19] ArmyMan007, we don t use unity [14:19] paulens12: yes [14:19] i'm about to switch to gnome, but i want to fix this first [14:19] ArmyMan007, you are already using gnome [14:19] ok thx [14:19] xD [14:19] bekks, so any ideas why that error ? since other devices like usb flash drives etc are fine, so it is not a general issue with my vb setup [14:19] and swap must be [14:19] RAM size? [14:19] kostkon: for all i know i'm using unity, as long as i have that dashboard on the side i use unity [14:19] ArmyMan007, you'll find the same kind of prefs there, i mean in gnome shell [14:20] someone said it should be bigger.. [14:20] ArmyMan007, unity is a shell for gnome3 like gnome shell is [14:20] but that doesn't matter right now [14:20] paulens12: if you want hibernate to work swap must be bigger than ram [14:20] can we please stay on topic? [14:20] ArmyMan007, yeah ok [14:20] hipitihop: Which error...? Whats the full, exact error message when doing what exactly? You may also change to #vbox before ;) [14:20] swap only has to be equal to ram [14:20] ArmyMan007, what is your audio hardware? [14:20] paulens12: de facto standard for swap-size is 2x ram-size :) but that's only if you want suspend/hibernate [14:21] kostkon: can we pm over this? [14:21] bkc_: Which is not true. [14:21] bekks: ? [14:21] kostkon: RealTek or something like that [14:21] bekks, the specific error is "Failed to create a proxy device for the USB device. (Error: VERR_READ_ERROR)." & "Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) Component: Console Interface: IConsole {1968b7d3-e3bf-4ceb-99e0-cb7c913317bb}" [14:21] ArmyMan007, better keep it in here [14:21] ok thanks bkc_ xD [14:21] bkc_: That 2x-RAM fairytale was true 15 years ago. [14:21] ArmyMan007, you can do: lspci | grep audio in a terminal if you want [14:21] kostkon: can you please remind me how to check my audio hardware? [14:21] bekks: sure, but it still depends on how much ram you got... [14:22] hipitihop, Are you familiar with pastebin? [14:22] bkc_: For everything > 2GB RAM thats just wasting space. Your computer will be dead slow because ofo the I/O caused by swapping before you even need more than 1x RAM for swap. [14:22] wilee-nilee, yes, sorry was that too long ? [14:23] kostkon: doesn't return anything [14:23] hipitihop: whoch vbox version very exactly? [14:23] bekks: as I said, it depends on how much ram you got... [14:23] Anyone know a good server/channel for PyGobject talk? [14:23] hipitihop, Probably okay right now when the channel is slow but pastebin is preferred. ;) [14:23] ArmyMan007, hmm, then try a: aplay -l [14:23] !alis | hansrodtang [14:23] hansrodtang: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* [14:23] Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) [14:24] kostkon: good enough:? [14:24] ArmyMan007, eyap [14:24] latest, 4.1.22 [14:24] yeap* [14:24] hipitihop: The latest version is 4.2.0 [14:24] kostkon: ok.. now what? [14:24] ArmyMan007, and you checked all the available volume levels? [14:25] ArmyMan007, at least in your sound prefs [14:25] ok, in unity - where is the old gnome-panel menu list of programs hiding? HUD service has the 'installed programs' list, which is all mangled up, only sorted by alpha's [14:25] kostkon: in both sound prefs and alsamixer [14:25] ArmyMan007, hmm [14:25] gnome2 had 'preferences', 'administration', 'internet', 'utilities' etc [14:26] how to get em back? [14:26] ArmyMan007, in your sound prefs, did you try all the combinations of connectors, profiles, etc? [14:26] kostkon: such as? [14:26] mschr: You cant get them back unless using gnome2 again. [14:27] bekks im having f*n trouble even finding executable of synaptics! [14:27] mschr, install gnome-panel [14:27] mschr: Did you install it? [14:27] !notunity | mschr [14:27] mschr: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [14:27] mschr: how would you ever use synaptics?! hasen't it been removed ever since 11.04?! [14:28] armyman007 whatever name it has now then (which is?) [14:28] ArmyMan007, sorry, i was thinking of the old prefs. did you try all the available modes? [14:28] synaptic is still in the repos [14:28] BluesKaj: synaptic isnt synaptics :) [14:29] synaptiks perhaps , bekks [14:29] ? [14:29] ArmyMan007, if you put something playing in totem, e.g. an mp3 file, do you see totem listed in the applications tab in the sound prefs? [14:29] When I click on Dash home my xserver crashes and returns me to the login screen. I've searched but only found one other person with this problem and no solution. What should I look at? Thank you. [14:29] hang on a moment [14:30] ahuh, software-center [14:30] ArmyMan007, ok. also, in alsamixer, did you see any switches and did you try to set them on or off? [14:30] bekks, one is a package manager: synaptic, the other gsynaptics , is a device pointer manager [14:31] kostkon: with alsamixer i've raised everything really high and unmuted everything [14:31] ArmyMan007, what is PCM set to. dont set it at max/ try 80 [14:31] bazhang yea i know i can run the old styled session === zz_scottas is now known as scottas [14:32] kostkon: i see it in the application, playing a sound === matthew_ is now known as Guest28087 [14:32] bazhang all im saying really is, the new UI is... not very userfriendly. search is awesome however if you dont know what to search for - youre kinda fubar [14:33] set PCM to 80 [14:33] sound still doesn't work [14:33] mschr, so use something else [14:33] *dosen't [14:33] or whatever.. [14:33] ArmyMan007, that's good. alsamixer actually has 3 view modes. did you press F5 to enable the all view mode in order to be sure that you checked all the volume levels and switches that are available? [14:34] kostkon: what levels should i raise all of the volumes? [14:35] hi there [14:35] ArmyMan007, try raising all of them yes. and try all the possible combinations and possible states of the switches [14:36] can someone tell me if there is a way to query the apt database to find out what packages are using a particularly library, or in other words "what depends on X" where X is a package? I want to list all apps in the apt repo that, for example, utilize libbox2d [14:36] kostkon: nope, nothing [14:36] raised it all up and nothing worked out [14:36] torpor, the depends? [14:37] bekks, too many similar named apps with different uses , guess I should have scrolled to see the context in which it was used. [14:37] bazhang: i want to know what is linked to box2d, for example. so i could query "what packages depend on X" somehow? [14:37] ArmyMan007, press F3 and then F4 now, instead of F5 and recheck [14:38] kostkon: what about it? i can't see and diffrence from the last time in terms of volume [14:39] torpor, something like apt-cache showpkg packagename? [14:39] that shows the details about the package, but i want to know: what depends on this package? [14:40] torpor, the depends and reverse depends is what it shows [14:40] ArmyMan007, F3 is the playback mode and F4 is the capture mode. did you try to right scroll by pressing the right key? it may reveal more volume levels you havent seen [14:40] ok, so that means only one package in the entire ubuntu repo's uses box2d, and its numptyphysics? okay then .. [14:41] kostkon: I get the same thing... I'm gonna restart the OS for a sec... [14:41] ArmyMan007, ok [14:43] Hi, i'd like to know if is it possible imposing to not install particular dependency of package? [14:44] For example i have a package which depend on ruby1.8, and i don't want it installed. Can i avoid it? [14:44] Virunga: why do you want to do that? Dependencies are dependencies for a reason [14:44] It's complicated. [14:44] Virunga: so explain it [14:44] Virunga, if it's a ruby app then it need ruby to run? [14:44] needs* [14:46] I'm learning provisioning using virtualized machines and i had to install ruby1.9 manually. [14:47] That's a brief description :). [14:47] kostkon: something worked for a moment: I restarted the computer and the login sound played. after I logged in nothing else worked. when I restarted the computer again, the sound siappeared [14:47] *disappeard [14:47] Virunga: isn't ruby1.9 in the repositories? [14:47] ArmyMan007, hmm [14:48] I want to help a designer to code his template,anyone? [14:48] ArmyMan007, does: ps -A | grep pulseaudio output anything [14:48] johnsnow: I don't understand what you are asking for [14:48] jrib, i dont ask,it's an offer [14:49] johnsnow: this channel is for ubuntu technical support; not really for that [14:49] kostkon: 1803 ? 00:00:00 pulseaudio [14:49] jrib, i understand [14:49] Is this possible? [14:49] ArmyMan007, ok, now give: pulseaudio -k [14:49] johnsnow: maybe you can get some hints in #ubuntu-offtopic [14:50] ArmyMan007, and then: pulseaudio -D [14:50] jrib, thanks, i just wasnt sure where to stark [14:50] jrib, thanks, i just wasnt sure where to start [14:50] Virunga: it's possible. But I still don't see why you would want to do it. Why did you install ruby1.9 "manually"? Isn't it in the repositories? [14:50] E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup failed. [14:50] kostkon: same with the K after i pressed it 3 times [14:51] jrib: if i explain that the will you tell how to do that? [14:51] *then [14:51] Virunga: explain it if you want me to try to help you. I'm just trying to give you the best advice I can so you don't end up with a broken system. [14:51] ArmyMan007, hmm strange. give pulseaudio -D again. check if ps -A | grep pulseaudio outputs anything now [14:52] kostkon: 2403 ? 00:00:00 pulseaudio [14:52] ArmyMan007, ok. check the sound now [14:53] still nothing kostkon, been playing the same song [14:53] let me restart [14:53] bb in a sec [14:53] ArmyMan007, no w8 [14:53] yeha? [14:53] w8 4 wat? :P [14:53] lol... gotta love gangster typing :P [14:53] ArmyMan007, in the sound prefs, how many devices are listed in the output tab? [14:54] 2: 1 digital output and 1 headset [14:54] HOLY SHIT [14:54] jrib: i didn't install ruby1.9 myself, a tool for creating virtualbox images made it. I just took it like that because i was hurry. [14:54] ArmyMan007, :P [14:54] headphone prefernces work!!! [14:54] T__T [14:54] ArmyMan007, nice. for some strange reason you had to select the headphones :P [14:54] Virunga: so why don't you just use ruby1.8 the way the package wants? [14:54] Virunga: you should be able to have both versions of ruby installed [14:55] kostkon: for some reason I didn't chose them... who choses headphones as their main sound option?! [14:55] :P [14:55] welll koston, I have to admit... I was just plain silly on this one :P [14:56] ArmyMan007, actually, are you sure that you have connected the speakers to the right port? [14:56] jrib: because then i should understand how to let use ruby 1.9 to a series of tools and i don't know how. [14:56] kostkon: I have only one port :P [14:56] jrib: could you tell the command to do that thing please? [14:56] uby1.9? [14:56] erm [14:56] ArmyMan007, interesting [14:57] kostkon: lol... appreantly when it comes to Ubuntu I got 2 ports :P [14:57] Virunga: what do you mean? why do you need ruby 1.9 instead of 1.8? What tools? [14:57] so now I'm using the so-called "speakers" connection [14:57] ArmyMan007, yeah, it seems. [14:57] jrib: are you kidding me? [14:57] kostkon: :D [14:57] Virunga: no [14:57] ArmyMan007, it works, you have sound, problem solved! :P [14:58] kostkon: not yet... we still have 1 more problem... [14:58] ArmyMan007, in the audio department? [14:58] jrib: there incompatibilities between ruby1.8 and ruby1.9 so some script could not work. [14:58] kostkon: yes... check this out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kVqLNF-RqU [14:59] It's the music I've been playing in our test run... isn't this song amazing?! :P [14:59] Virunga: so use ruby 1.9. It's in the repositories. What package is it that you are trying to install? [14:59] But all jokes aside, yes... no more problems for me :) [14:59] now onward to work on the XBMC thingy... :P [15:00] ArmyMan007, lol. i wish you good luck then :P [15:00] jrib: why don't you write the command i could you to make me a favor? [15:00] *use [15:00] ArmyMan007, the song is nice [15:00] Thanks a bunch for everything kostkon, hope to see you here soon! :D [15:00] Virunga: what? [15:00] ArmyMan007, no prob. cu :) [15:01] Does anyone have the drivers for the Creative Labs SB0410, I am running ubuntu 11.10 32-bit [15:01] Virunga: I'm still trying to understand what it is that you even want to do. I understand now you want to program in ruby1.9 and presumably want to use a certain library/tool with it. What library/tool? [15:01] jrib: no, i wrote a clear question at the beginnig. [15:01] jrib: you are making fun of me. [15:01] hi... what's the CLI command to update 12.04 to the latest beta? i thought it was "update-manager -d" that didnt do the trick [15:02] I'm here because i thought this was a place to get help. [15:02] I'm learning provisioning using virtualized machines and i had to install ruby1.9 manually. [15:02] TomM2, explain your issue rather than quoting hardware [15:02] Virunga, thats it? [15:02] no Hi, i'd like to know if is it possible imposing to not install particular dependency of package? [15:02] Virunga: What exactly is the connection between ruby 1.9 and provisioning in virtualized environments? [15:02] Maybe i should write "and how" [15:02] Virunga: you wrote a non-specific question. I can't help you if you are not specific. There is no way to change the dependencies of a package unless you rebuild the package. There is no way to to ignore dependencies because unless you use dirty hacks like equivs (which will then leave you with a semi-broken system if you don't know what you are doing). I don't know why you don't just say specifically what [15:03] it is that you want to do [15:03] Virunga, and you never answered why [15:03] Virunga, so lets lose the attitude [15:03] BluesKaj, Well I need the drivers for it as there is no sound coming from the speakers when using the card, I tried lspci and it is not detecting it I don't know if that's normal? [15:03] s/because// [15:03] TomM2, run aplay -l [15:04] victor__: #ubuntu+1 can help you with that [15:04] BluesKaj, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1265819/ [15:05] jrib: thanks [15:07] i have andromouse server as an executable .jar file and i want to have it run at startup. i have xubuntu 12.04. i am wondering about how to create an autostart.sh and putting it into init. any help would be awesome. [15:07] !upstart | duhamel [15:07] duhamel: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [15:07] duhamel: if you want to do it properly, create an upstart job for it. See the docs at that site, especially the cookbook [15:07] TomM2, [15:07] in the terminal type ' alsamixer ', make sure the Master, PCM, Line & CD are all unmuted ,by using the "M" key' [15:07] then turn those controls up to the max. [15:08] i kind of checked that out, but it looks complicated to set up and im kinda noob. [15:08] i think thet cookbook link on the upstart page gives such an example duhamel [15:08] jrib: i got that my intension isn't the right way to proceed. Anyway, thank you for your help. [15:08] BluesKaj, One second. [15:08] duhamel: or run it from /etc/rc.local as a quick and dirty way [15:09] BluesKaj, Everything is unmuted. [15:10] well, I'll check out upstart first and if I have troubles I'll be back. thank you all. === satan is now known as Guest82806 === Guest82806 is now known as sa`tan [15:11] TomM2, ok , sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel , if there's no output then the module/driver is loaded properly [15:12] BluesKaj, Intel is my onboard sound card I am trying to get my creative labs 7.1 sound card working. [15:15] TomM2: why do you want the creative card? [15:15] krababbel, Because I am setting up a 7.1 surround system. [15:16] your intel onboard is not 7.1? nevermind then [15:16] Software Like "Sony Vegas" On Ubuntu "Video Editor" [15:16] My intel is 5.1 [15:16] I think. [15:16] TomM2: do you use digital cables? [15:16] Cobra-Tn: i like openshot [15:16] hi [15:17] TomM2: do you use one cable, or more? [15:17] krababbel, More. [15:17] TomM2: can't you connect digitally? no digital input? [15:18] It's just the standard sound connector. [15:18] TomM2: I meant on the amplifier, a digital coax looks the same, but needs only one cable [15:19] RCA I mean [15:19] Oh. [15:19] Yes. [15:19] i want to change host name [15:20] TomM2: If you have digital input for the amplifier or speakers and output on the intel, then you can use the intel [15:20] sudo sed -i 's/drupin/Ubuntu/g' /etc/$i; this is giving sed: couldn't edit /etc/: not a regular file [15:20] bekks: its not working [15:20] krababbel, Okay. [15:20] TomM2: in case there are no working drivers for the creative [15:20] hope I'm not annoying anyone but how would i use upstart? is it terminal or gui? [15:21] drupin: Of, because it is wrong. Where do you got that from? [15:21] TomM2, I'm trying to find the chip the the creative labs card uses , any idea , I thought they were intels [15:21] whe i asked you yesterday... theAdmin gave it i guess bekks [15:21] drupin: I bet he gave you the correct command :) [15:22] I thought they used their own chips. [15:22] drupin: Because thats only a snippet. [15:22] creative has sort of dropped the ball on linuc support over the last few years. ;( [15:22] bekks: drupin: for i in hostname hosts ; do sudo sed -i 's/drupin/ubuntu/g' /etc/$i ; done [15:22] So, unity crashes and goes to the login screen when ever I click the Dash home button.

[15:26] bekks: sudo sed -i 's/drupin/Ubuntu/g' /etc/$i ; done [15:26] or the lspci | grep audio command , TomM2 ? [15:26] thinkt510 is same story as with gksu [15:26] drupin: WRONG. [15:27] ok [15:27] 1007 172235 < drupin> bekks: drupin: for i in hostname hosts ; do sudo sed -i 's/drupin/ubuntu/g' /etc/$i ; done [15:27] BluesKaj, It outputs nothing.

[15:27] thinkt510 getting a #000 background with a dialog on top [15:27] it starts from for? bekks [15:27] I know this isn't supported but could anyone please help me with getting Ubuntu 12.10's installer to boot from a USB drive? I mounted the ISO and copied all the data with Windows 7 XCOPY. It all shows up on the drive but my computer says the boot manager is missing. [15:28] !12.10 | Asphyxium [15:28] Asphyxium: Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) will be the 17th release of Ubuntu, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 [15:28] thinkt510 same logic as when installing a package - password is needed, show dialog for entering it, run APP in sudo [15:28] in this case, wireshark [15:28] Asphyxium, sure it's supported. with unetbootin [15:28] SS01, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585009 not a true dualboot I believe [15:28] drupin: It starts after "drupin:" [15:28] mschr: what?

[15:29] Asphyxium, that among other tools [15:29] use USB startup disk creator from live to write the USB [15:29] !usb | Asphyxium [15:29] Asphyxium: 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 [15:29] I have a weird issue: I have used glftpd since Ubuntu 10.10 and I upgraded incremently to 12.04 recently which caused glftpd to corrupt files as they are sent [15:29] thinkt510 simple, creating a launcher for 'sudo wireshark' [15:29] ok [15:29] mschr: i don't think this channel supports wireshark [15:29] So startup disk creator is a windows executable inside a directory somewhere in the data I copied? [15:30] I have done a lot of troubleshooting if someone has any ideas they wanna run [15:30] no it is on Ubuntu CD [15:30] TomM2, where did you find the reference to the CA0106-DAT audio chipset ? [15:30] Asphyxium: startup disk creator is NOT a windows.exe [15:30] BluesKaj, Google. [15:30] wilee-nilee: I was looking for a more traditional, wipe-the-memory install [15:30] but thanks anyway :) [15:31] I'll try unetbootin === savio is now known as Guest59170 [15:31] Thanks! [15:31] You guys are great. [15:31] bekks: for i in hostname hosts ; do sudo sed -i 's/drupin/ubuntu/g' /etc/$i ; done [15:31] TomM2, well , then your card isn't being detected at all, and finding the right driver for it won't help. The bios option is the only way i can think of atm...anyone else have a suggestion ? [15:31] thinkt510 it really have got nothing to do with wireshark.. is just a usecase for when a graphical app needs root rights [15:31] drupin: correct. [15:31] ok [15:31] BluesKaj, What would I do in the BIOS? [15:31] SS01, Are not we all I have a nexus and have considrerd this, the boot is grub so it seems possible, you would need a bluetooth keyboard at the least. [15:32] nexus 7 [15:32] One last question [15:32] mschr: i've never needed to create a launcher which gives a graphical app root [15:32] Why in the WORLD does copying perfectly every file in an ISO to a boot medium fail while burning the iso to a boot medium works? [15:32] Asphyxium, using dd? [15:33] Asphyxium: copying how exactly [15:33] Asphyxium: 1. you copy it wrong or 2. its not an hybrid iso === railsraider_ is now known as railsraider [15:33] No Xcopy or the windows GUI (explorer) [15:33] Asphyxium, hybrid iso and dd [15:33] ok [15:33] Asphyxium: its the wrong way [15:33] TomM2, change the audio codec options or audio options in the bios to use the pci card instead of the onboard [15:33] I'll have to research ISO types [15:33] wilee-nilee: yeah, I can do the keyboard. What if I just booted the ARM version of ubuntu from SD/USB/netboot/whatever then messed with the boot loader to load ubuntu as it would Android? [15:33] what's dd? [15:33] Asphyxium: just use dd to copy the file [15:33] Asphyxium, or just dont use windows tools for that [15:33] thinkt510 gksu still works... but its just.. crazy slow and the overlay is not transparent in unity-2d [15:33] thats not imageing the iso to the usb Asphyxium [15:33] boot from the Ubuntu CD and use the USB Startup Disk Creator [15:34] Asphyxium: or use "unetbootin" or "usbcreator" [15:34] thinkt510 so, i bet there's an alternative :) [15:34] SS01, Not sure to be honest, I have been to busy with grad work to mess around other then to root it and tryout roms. [15:34] Perhaps there's hidden files (the command line interface doesn't share my GUI settings) [15:34] ok [15:34] Trying unetbootin [15:34] my framebuffer is 4k x 1k and it takes a lot of gpu to draw everything, even if only black - every pixel gets damaged [15:35] thanks dr w [15:35] Does anyone have any tip on why this custom grub hangs at the prompt: http://codepad.org/zuxv0pxQ [15:35] wilee-nilee: okay - I'll try and report back [15:35] Asphyxium: pendrivelinux website has dozens of tools and guides [15:35] bbl [15:35] I suppose we could even wipe the bootloader with GRUB.. [15:35] ok I'll try that was an alternative if unetbootin doesn't work [15:35] *as [15:35] why my ubuntu 12.04 lts not support tar [15:35] Thanks [15:35] SS01, I believe the bootloader is grub, grub legacy [15:36] at least on my nexus 7 [15:36] oh [15:36] hidden though.

Let me reproduce the install [17:16] PenguinCSC: maybe I should go on their forum and post [17:16] PenguinCSC i edit the 'ubuntu with linux...' the line with linux i typed nomodeset at end, then i pressed F10 to boot, and i got 'The system is running in low-graphics mode...' and i pressed OK and then that window came up [17:17] tryy3, what was your original problem? [17:18] osso hmm.. as proof that service is working, try browsing it via nautilus fileexplorer (smb://HOST/) [17:18] PenguinCSC i had a purple screen nothing else [17:18] osso otherwise, check these sample shares http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=MPPC4vwL [17:19] tryy3, sounds like you have an nvidia card. so you need to put nomodeset and you probably want to install the nvidia drivers [17:19] escott correct, only problem is that this screen is frozen atm! [17:20] tryy3, is the system completely frozen? does the capslock key cause the light to come on [17:21] escott dont think the system is completly frozen cuz the screen went to sleep but i moved the mouse and it went on again, and capslock key causes the light to come on!

I also need this program to run automatically on boot [17:22] escott if tty1 is a command line then yes (iam on it now) [17:22] tryy3, then i would suggest installing the nvidia drivers there (sorry i guess im catching up here) [17:23] tryy3, the alternative is that you have one of those nvidia optimus systems in which case im not sure what if anything will work [17:23] diverdude, sudo service haproxy start [17:24] escott oh ok... how do i install the 'good' nvidia drivers then? if you need this information, i got a gtx 550ti [17:24] silverarrow, what version of ubuntu are yo running?

[17:41] !xy [17:41] The XY problem is when you need to do X, and you think you can use Y to do X, so you ask about how to do Y, when what you really should do is state what your X problem is. There may be a Z solution that is even better than Y, but nobody can suggest it if X is never mentioned. [17:41] hi everyone. since yesterday my laptop always runs the fans on max speed (despite CPU and GPU being very cool). Anyone have a clue how to fix that? [17:41] in this case... you dont have any free space on the disk so not much is going to work [17:42] escott oh... :S i thought if i could get the gui working i could install a hard drive sizer thingy :P [17:43] tryy3: the point he is making is you didn't mention your original problem, which would have saved a lot of time [17:43] hi guys. [17:44] escott o.O i can access with ftp now i can free up some space to install drivers [17:44] ThinkT510 sry didn't think of it :S [17:45] tryy3, its very strange that you dont have any free space for an application as small as pastebinit. something must be seriously wrong [17:45] escott i went out of disc space compeltly :S [17:46] not only that, but then reisntalling goes right out the window as an option too [17:47] tryy3, when you are installing how much disk space are you giving ubuntu [17:47] escott http://puu.sh/1cn1k see [17:47] oh wait, how could he possibly update his system at all anyway.. [17:47] escott i gave it 30gb [17:47] So, I have a question. Is it possible to make folder read-only to a single user, and not let that user access any other folders? [17:47] tryy3, doubt you are out of disk space , have you tried a reboot [17:48] tryy3, /dev/loop0 is not a real disk. why are you installing to a loop disk [17:48] kyubotsu: On a filled up filesystem, updating will crash. Please stop suggesting it. [17:48] escott i used wubi... cuz the live CD didn't wanna work ;( [17:48] bekks: i wasn't; it stands to reason that at some point he'll have to [17:49] BluesKaj it said i was out of disc space when i tryed to install it hold on gonna do it again [17:49] kyubotsu: His system still boots, no need so far. [17:49] prettygreat, yes but its pretty hard to do. from the computers perspective the user is the program he/she runs so that folder would need a full copy of all the libraries and programs the user would run [17:49] ok wubi tryy3 , nevermind [17:49] escott, that seems excessive. [17:49] bekks: in fact, how could he install drivers if needed. you're not paying attention [17:49] Windows could do it easily >.> [17:49] BluesKaj oh nvm... it got installed :S [17:50] escott pastebinit got installed i didn't thought it would hold on [17:50] kyubotsu: I am paying attention. His system still boots. [17:50] wubi isn't real ubuntu install ., it's meant for testing it [17:50] prettygreat, not even windows can really do that. windows is underneath it all pretty much the same as unix. if you want to give a more detailed description of your goals we can suggest a good way to do it [17:50] escott http://paste.ubuntu.com/1266118/ [17:50] Okay. [17:50] BluesKaj well thats the only thing that works for me :S [17:51] I have a fileserver with a bunch of files. I want one folder to be accessed by a friend of mine, but I don't want him to be able to see anything else.

It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [17:51] prettygreat, and how will he be accessing these files [17:51] prettygreat, ftp, samba, ssh? [17:51] escott, My initial thoughts were SFTP [17:51] But whatever you think is best [17:51] prettygreat, sftp is very easy to secure [17:52] BluesKaj didn't try that.... does it work to "upgrade" from wubi? [17:52] tryy3: you don't upgrade from wubi, you get rid of it [17:52] prettygreat, http://www.minstrel.org.uk/papers/sftp/ [17:52] ThinkT510 but that means i haft to move my like 10gb minecraft folder :S [17:53] Hello guys! Anyone here like Quantal so far? [17:53] prettygreat, and you can ignore all the stuff about versions and compiling the latest version. the openssh in ubuntu has the features you need [17:53] !12.10 | kendfinger [17:53] kendfinger: Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) will be the 17th release of Ubuntu, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 [17:53] tryy3, it's meant to be real install on it's own partition , not in wubi ..dunno if it will work in wubi [17:53] whoops [17:53] I forgot [17:53] xangua: sorry [17:53] BluesKaj aww ok [17:53] ThinkT510 and all my settings and apt-get installations will be gone :S [17:54] escott, I see [17:54] This gives a lot of extra information such as setup etc. [17:54] tryy3: wubi is not meant to be used seriously, its more of a testing ground [17:54] * prettygreat reads [17:54] tryy3: even a vm is more desirable [17:54] ThinkT510 i guess i haft to reinstall then ;( [17:55] ThinkT510 how can i kill wubi with FIRE ? :D [17:56] escott, is the one that comes with Ubuntu the OpenSSH 4.9+ Built-in Version? [17:56] tryy3: i've never used it, have fun [17:56] ThinkT510 oh gawd... [17:56] ThinkT510 i probly gonna screw up alot more then just uninstall wubi :S [17:57] tryy3, just switch to windows , save any data you need to file on windows from ubuntu , then uninstall wubi , then reboot [17:57] tryy3: apparently you uninstall it just like any other windows program [17:57] prettygreat, yes [17:58] ThinkT510 oh btw, does it work to put drivers into the alternative CD? so i get right nvidia drivers from scratch? [17:58] escott, "Important (OpenSSH tests for this condition): ensure their home directory is owned by root, and is not writable by any other user or group." [17:58] BluesKaj okej i will do that [17:58] I can't do that [17:58] As the directory is written to by another user [17:58] tryy3, Did you get the wubi actually installed and running? [17:58] tryy3: no, you'd need to download them after install [17:58] hiya [17:59] trying to install wunderlist http://pastie.org/pastes/4928420/text [17:59] ^does this look familiar to anyone? [17:59] wilee-nilee not really 'correctly' but i got it working :D [17:59] sudo ./installer/installer tells me there's "not enough info" [17:59] wondering if this is a .deb package or something [17:59] ThinkT510 aw ok i thought like ghost installations or what they are called ^_^ [17:59] Can anyone tell me how to open a music file with cmus by default? [17:59] prettygreat, you arent giving that user shell so it doesnt matter [18:00] tryy3, Cool, just wondering you can transfer a wubi to a partition, but I would only do it with a good install that had be being used for awhile. [18:00] http://www.6wunderkinder.com/wunderlist [18:00] qwitwa: man cmus [18:00] escott, would this also allow all subfolders? [18:00] prettygreat, sure [18:00] * prettygreat tries it [18:01] there is no readme and changelog contains nothing but dummy text [18:01] wilee-nilee nah not really good partition and i only been using for like 3 days or so [18:01] honestly this is kind of a shitty program but I'm using it because I'm already using it on other platforms [18:01] hello, my ubuntu 12.04 is not detecting certain usb pens, what to do to solve this?? [18:01] ThinkT510: Isn't this a more general thing? I can select any program from thunar properties>open with menu, but terminal apps like thunar don't work. [18:01] wubi cannot be put in its own partition. the point of wubi is to try out ubuntu WITHIN windows [18:01] escott, I don't have a /usr/local/etc/sshd_config [18:02] prettygreat, its in /etc [18:02] kyubotsu, Yes it can this has been being done for a considerable time, and it is a standard install then. [18:02] qwitwa: what? [18:02] ThinkT510: How would I use the name of the file being openened in a custom open command? [18:02] prettygreat: http://www.serverubuntu.it/SFTP-chroot [18:02] I don't want to open a file in cmus. I want all mp3s to open in a new terminal window in cmus. [18:02] wilee-nilee: then why are we wasting time and not doint a proper dual boot? [18:02] kyubotsu, Don;t just proclaim what you don't know. [18:02] Okay, half answered my question in that I need to launch the terminal first. [18:02] Found it [18:03] llutz, thanks! [18:03] But my question about the file still stands - if I go into nautilus and set a file to open with a custom command, how do I use the filepath of that file in the command itself? [18:03] kyubotsu, I have always partitioned installed, others will do a wubi instal this is for them. [18:03] Hello. I’m trying to get Flash working on my Ubuntu 10.04 LTS desktop. I tried so far by installing flashplugin-installer, then adobe-flashplugin from the partner repo, and finally I installed google-chrome. But it still doesn’t work. What should I do next? [18:04] vlt: abandon flash :) [18:04] wubi | wilee-nilee [18:04] !wubi | wilee-nilee [18:04] wilee-nilee: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. For Ubuntu Oneiric/11.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/oneiric/wubi.exe [18:04] it says Take special care on the owner and permission along the entire path structure, all the folder must be owned by "root:root" and with 755 permissions. again :[ [18:04] Is that important? [18:04] kyubotsu, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MigrateWubi [18:04] can you please fix this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eclipse/+bug/970475 [18:04] Launchpad bug 970475 in eclipse (Ubuntu) "eclipse doesn't start !MESSAGE Missing imported package com.ibm.icu.text_0.0.0." [Undecided,Fix released] [18:04] prettygreat, yes. [18:05] kyubotsu: wilee-nilee is correct, you can use wubi to do a proper install (no idea why anyone would want to though) [18:05] BluesKaj where on windows can i find the ubuntu files? [18:05] ThinkT510: That’s what I usually do. But there’s this one website … [18:05] prettygreat, don't worry about the user being able to access the files, root is doing it on their behalf [18:05] ThinkT510: precisely [18:05] escott, but what about other users that need to access it? That folder is frequently written to by another user [18:05] The problem here is that some install a wubi and use it for awhile this is just a method to keep the install, DUH. [18:06] The folder is actually a subfolder of another user's home directory [18:06] Hello. How to get Flash working on Ubuntu 10.04? === skipler_ is now known as skipler [18:07] prettygreat, then this might not be a good solution. im not sure why they require root to own it, but they evidently do [18:08] escott, okay, thank you for trying [18:08] prettygreat, a workaround would be for you to access this folder using sftp [18:08] escott, how? [18:08] prettygreat, sftp localhost [18:08] or rather sftp username@localhost [18:08] Ah, like that. [18:09] This wouldn't work in this situation [18:09] One user is running a torrent client which downloads to this folder. [18:09] I want to allow a third party to access the folder without access to anything else really [18:09] What is the command to repair messed up apt packages? [18:10] vlt: sudo apt-get install -f [18:10] Oh well, it isn't *that* important I guess [18:11] Hi :P [18:11] prettygreat, it might be that they just want $HOME to be root owned but that subdirectories are ok. its unclear from what im reading [18:11] someone here? [18:11] ThinkT510: Thank you. [18:11] I have a problem with x [18:12] someone can help me? [18:12] prettygreat, yeah its only $HOME. so you can have $HOME/subdir owned by that user [18:12] prettygreat, i think they must be trying to protect $HOME/.ssh or something [18:13] Ah okay [18:13] will try it out [18:13] or prevent the creation of it [18:13] thanks [18:14] ThinkT510: Okay, I'll see if I can be clearer this time. In nautilus or thunar I can right click on a .mp3 and go into properties. I can then select a program like rhythmbox, and mp3s will always open with rhythmbox from then on. This time I want to use a command line player like cmus or MOC. However, selecting those from the dropdown menu doesn't work. How could I get those files to default to opening with [18:14] cmus or MOC? [18:14] hi, i am running virtualbox on an ubuntu host, what's the packet with the guest addon .iso's? [18:14] meridian: Don't ask to ask. No-one will help you unless you say what your problem specifically is. [18:14] meridian, The channel works with you stating your problem in the form of a question. ;) [18:15] Hi there...
