[00:00] forever as in....20 minutes? [00:00] Yes, it usually doesn't take that long? :O [00:01] are you using the installer partitioner, or gparted before you started the install? [00:02] if it's the installer, 20 minutes is way too long, there may be an issue with your hard drive, if it's gparted, did you do some funky footwork with the partition setup you chose, or was it just basic? [00:02] The installer is going slow it's like not responding to anything [00:03] anyone here familar with ejabberd ? [00:03] if it's the installer, and you've tried multiple times, and it's still hanging, boot up a live cd or USB of the desktop version, use the disk utility and check the hard drive status, (smart data) [00:03] treaver, switch to other console and look some messages maybe help you [00:03] how much Ram is in the machine you are installing it on? === dice-man is now known as Dice-Man [00:04] Sorry, PeanutPower, never heard of it. [00:05] Treaver, how much RAM is in the machine you are installing to, also, have you done the memory check to make sure it's good? [00:06] 6GB Ram, 750GB Harddrive [00:06] I am just gonna install over Windows [00:06] thats big enough [00:06] yeah, the amount of ram is certainly not the issue. :O/ [00:07] Treaver, under no circumstances interrupt a resize [00:07] ^ [00:07] leave it till tomorrow morning [00:07] Too late lol [00:07] I'd check the ram to make sure it's not throwing out bad bits, and check the harddrive or raid using the disk utility (smart data). it will tell you how healthy the drive is. [00:07] I already stopped it I just gonna install 12.10 over it [00:08] treaver, using wubi [00:08] ? [00:08] Treaver, whatever you were resizing is probably destroyed [00:08] Treaver: 12.10 isn't final yet [00:09] i don't know if my hardware or 12.10 is the issue but i can't install it. its getting stuck at the same point every time [00:11] i happen to have 2 wireless routers with some overlap as well as two wireless cards on my pc, would it be unheardof to to configure ubuntu to use both for parralellism and reliability? [00:13] !12.10 | devslash [00:13] devslash: Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) will be the 17th release of Ubuntu, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 [00:13] nope, not unheard of at all. I use an internal wireless and a usb wireless on my laptop and bridge the connections together. [00:13] duly noted [00:13] Smackbook1: er, name them the same thing with the same credentials on the same channel... then let networkmanager switch when it needs to [00:14] is there an easy way to install openoffice instead of libreoffice? [00:15] ± [00:15] add this ppa sudo add-apt-repository ppa:upubuntu-com/office [00:15] ubuntux, Both share files, so you have to fully purge one to install the other, and to be honest libreoffice is more functinal I believe, [00:15] genewitch: i was wondering if there was a way to send packets on both to double the throughput rate [00:15] hi [00:15] Smackbook1: personally, i doubt you can have 2 simultanious "internet" connections, as an agragated feed - at the desktop level. but best of luck. i'm probably wrong... [00:16] I just use libreoffice personally [00:18] Smackbook1, you could try bonding them but the slowdown is going to be your ISP<->router connection unless you have fiber into your house [00:21] escott: i think wireless from router->device is a more likely slowdown myself. [00:22] escott: most of my traffic is media streaming [00:22] locally i mean [00:23] Smackbook1: you want to freaking bond wifi links? [00:23] what are you, MCI? [00:24] genewitch: heh iono [00:25] i will look into this [00:25] Smackbook: you can bond 2 wifi interfaces === Ziber_ is now known as Ziber [00:28] Smackbook: see for starters https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBonding [00:28] great thanks [00:28] TJ-: thanks for the link [00:28] galactik football italiano [00:29] I've used it with long-range Wifi connections (> 4 miles) === codenomics is now known as Codenomics [00:30] TJ-, how do you build the antenna for that [00:31] howdy [00:31] escott: with great accuracy... different polarisations [00:31] got some questions... I used the Ubuntu Mini CD to install Ubuntu and just booted into it... [00:32] all I get is a CLI. I selected LXDE to be installed, but it looks like that didnt happen [00:32] Codenomics: try "startx" [00:32] escott: yagi 'cantenna' and dish ... everything is about directing all the ERP to the receiver [00:32] if it did, it should boot and go into LXDE correct? [00:32] thats why called mini [00:32] zykotick9: tried that, command not found [00:32] escott: and a big dish receiver to collect as much signal as possible [00:33] Codenomics, with mini you do a basic install the desktop from the cli. [00:33] Codenomics: then see if xorg is installed. did you install a DM of some sort (lightdm is ubuntu's default these days)? [00:33] +1 on that [00:33] um...I chose the basic server install and LXDE but nothing else [00:34] Xorg is installe [00:34] d [00:34] Codenomics: startx should be a command then... [00:34] Codenomics: start bring anything up? [00:34] zykotick9: one would think [00:35] that shows start, startpar, and start-stop-daemon [00:35] Codenomics: are you sure xorg is installed? "apt-cache policy xorg" [00:36] If LXDE was installed it ought to have gdm (or lightdm?) ? [00:36] unable to locate package Xorg [00:36] TJ-: depends on what the poster means by TJ- [00:36] oh wait... [00:37] TJ-: sorry "means by xfce" [00:37] I did Xorg, and not xorg...it says xorg is not installed [00:37] Codenomics: ding [00:37] Codenomics: "apt-cache policy lxde" [00:37] apt-get install xserver-xorg-core [00:37] whoa too much... hold on lol [00:38] gnome-core xfonts-base [00:38] Kelebra: gnome-core?!? [00:38] no lxde either [00:38] Codenomics: "sudo apt-get install lxde" [00:38] yup, on it now [00:38] apt-get install gnome-desktop-data [00:39] apt-get install xorg [00:39] Kelebra: if one is trying to install xfce, install gnome-desktop-ANYTHING is sort counter productive... [00:39] startx [00:39] mmm sorry [00:39] is lxde any lighter than lxde? [00:39] try install xfce-desktop [00:39] havent used lxde in a good while [00:40] Kelebra: the OP wanted lxde, MY bad. [00:40] the OP just wants a GUI lol [00:40] just something nice and light with the least amount of resources being used [00:40] A gooey lol ? :p [00:40] ? [00:40] Codenomics, I assume you mean "is lxde lighter than Xfce?" if so, than yes, it is, but also is missing a lot of features Xfce has. [00:41] * wilee-nilee laughs at the pile on of helpers [00:41] tethtibis: oooh, yeah, that is what I meant [00:41] Codenomics, try ZorinOS, it runs gnome, beutifully on less than 512 megs of ram and a 1 gig single core processor. [00:41] helo [00:42] tethtibis: I am not really concerned about features considering this is going to be a media center and all I really need is to get a few basic apps running and XBMC [00:42] Codenomics: KDE uses servious resources, then Gnome, then xfce (similar to gnome2 resources), then lxde, then the windows managers - as far as resource use. === anonymous is now known as Guest57061 [00:42] yeah... I stay far away from KDE [00:42] i think openbox uses less than lxde, but it's a pain to configure if you've never used it before. [00:43] tethtibis: any *box uses less then lxde, BUT lxde is a desktop environment, the WM are not. [00:43] I will just stick with lxde for now [00:43] Codenomics, give DSL (Damn small linux) then, it uses rediculously low resources. [00:43] tethtibis: for a media box, that would be silly. [00:44] see ya soon [00:44] zykotick9 you have a good point. :OP [00:44] I have to go ... [00:44] what's a good free app for creating a playable dvd from an mp4/mkv file? [00:44] tethtibis: it isnt *that* big of a deal, I have a dual core with 2GB or RAM so I dont need insane amount of minimalism lol [00:44] Is nice to see you. [00:44] lizzin brasero works just fine. [00:45] tethtibis: ok, thank you [00:45] code: i'm using xubuntu on a netbook and it runs great [00:45] wish I could just run this stuff from CLI, things run so much smoother [00:45] I am not going to go and download/burn a new iso just for this lol [00:46] again, I have a decent machine so it isnt all that big of a deal [00:46] Codenomics: 2GB seems small to me (personally) i only have 4GB ;) but i wish i had much more. my netbook only has a 1 GB though, and i'm always amazed what it can do ;) i run VERY minimal GUI's on both systems... [00:47] 2GB isnt anything impressive granted... but it works for what I need [00:47] downloading and running a media center with FTP functionality === Justasic2 is now known as Justasic [00:50] ok lxde is installed [00:50] Codenomics: fyi, for media centers i use both mythtv (for recording my tv) and freevo for playback of movies/tv/music on my htpc (but that's only cause of stability!) xbmc has hella feature-set, but i had way too many crashes :( i'm not a fan of myth's music features, but it's recording tv is amazing. fyi, i use handbrake to encode all my shows to m4v/mp4. good luck with your htpc install. [00:51] Openelec and GeexBOX are also nice Media Center Specific Small Sized Disrtos [00:52] XBMC and Boxee are also nice. ;) [00:54] hai [00:54] i need a suggested wireless card that you can buy on tiger or new egg [00:54] that will plug and play [00:55] seriously, anything "netgear" [00:55] really? [00:55] every netgear usb wireless device I've ever touched worked out of the bok on ubuntu. [00:55] *box* [00:55] eek i wana use pci [00:56] hrm, no idea then, lol sorry, but I'd still try a netgear or "logitech" if they make such a thing. [00:56] linksey? [00:57] for some reason, the width of my pidgin buddy list is quite large and won't allow me to resize it to a smaller width. [00:57] linksys is hit and miss, honestly in my opinion. one sec, let me find you a hardware list. [00:57] penguinmessiah, best to look at the chipset itself. i've always like atheros [00:57] ah okay darn chipsets [00:57] zykotick9: I use XBMC. I really dig it so far [00:58] codenomics, i prefer boxee [00:58] oh and startx is still not working === thomj is now known as thomi [00:58] Codenomics: OH how i wish it was stable for me! YMMV. good luck. [00:58] penguinmessiah, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported [00:58] XBMC is stable as can be for me [00:59] ok, so I am stuck and cant startx lol [01:00] Codenomics: fyi the packages xorg and lxde SHOULD give you startx (it might not, and that's funny). [01:00] Hi all. After a release upgrade from lucid to precise, I find that gnome-power-manager no longer provides a system tray icon. Is there an alternate package (eg. for kde) which does? [01:00] zoorg think penguin is expensive, if i buy one i might as well go with the triband, but i only have 1 really good wifi antenna :| [01:00] Codenomics: find out what lubuntu uses as a DM and install that. [01:02] Codenomics, I did an install as you did last week xinit was not installed by default in my case [01:03] Codenomics: based on what custom_ added, i think both of you should report a bug ;) [01:04] should I reboot and see well... if I get my computer working I just might do that lol [01:04] forgot to install xorg lol [01:04] * Codenomics hangs head in shame [01:05] My installer is complaining that my mirror doesn't support the specified release (oneiric) - the problem is my mirror is us.archive.ubuntu.com, and it looks just fine... [01:05] been using linux for so long, I should know this stuff by now [01:06] \o/ [01:06] working... thanks for the help. going to kill irssi now === scottas is now known as zz_scottas === ring0 is now known as Guest64321 [01:10] any of you use ncmpcpp? [01:10] i have it installed [01:10] sgtluax: having problems with it? [01:10] how the hell do i add music to it [01:11] i dont know... didnt use it much. [01:11] oh well [01:12] i will invest some time to learn it... i wonder if someone has published a book about it ;D === resistivecorpse2 is now known as resistivecorpse [01:13] every manual I find, asumes that a you're a god with the terminal [01:13] if u r not, why do you want to use it? [01:14] just basic stuff I guess, compile from source but that's it [01:14] !manual | totido [01:14] totido: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [01:15] zykotick9, ? [01:16] totido (although you're already gone). sorry, wrong nick. [01:16] why is apt-cacher-ng such a piece of crap... === Andrius is now known as Guest50313 [01:17] nbastin: side note, i stopped using apt-cacher-ng and switched to apt-cacher (but still have occasional issue!), BUT apt-cacher only supports on distro at a time. [01:17] s/on/one/ ;) [01:18] zykotick9: bah, that doesn't really work either...maybe I should look into writing something...apt-cacher-ng seems to corrupt files a lot, and doesn't recover from failure ever [01:18] sgtluax: From what I read on the man-page, ncmpcpp is a client. The music library is configured in the MPD server [01:19] nbastin: i always ran into issues where apt-cacher-ng would stop giving updates to clients... [01:19] zykotick9: thanks for the advice though, I might switch to apt-cacher for the moment (maybe put them on different ports per distro?) === ubuntu is now known as Guest44162 [01:19] nbastin: fyi, they're different! client has different port/style address! pita they're not the same. [01:19] hello [01:22] nbastin: I've been running apt-cacher-ng without issues for a year or more; what kind of issues are you getting? [01:23] TJ-: mostly it serves up corrupt files, but it also gets wedged and doesn't respond to requests at all until it's restarted [01:24] TJ-: we run a *lot* of apt-cacher-ng instances for VM installs, etc., and they all have these problems [01:25] TJ-: and if you look around on the internet you see tons of other people with the same problems and they just fix it by blowing away the cache, which sortof defeats the point [01:25] hi can anybody answer some questions about a wubi install. I want to do a fresh install (having done upgrades from about 10.04), but the first question wubi is asking is : "are you sure you want to uninstall ubuntu?" Will this delete my /home/myuser directory? I'm fine with /usr being totally replaced but want to avoid having to recover /home/myuser from backup. [01:25] nbastin: that's exactly what i used to do. delete the cache and start again. [01:29] nbastin: Where's the analysis of what is causing it though? Whenever I hit issues its 1) logs 2) tracing then 3) -debug packages and gdb [01:31] Hello! I'm having an issue when my laptop suspends or the screen blanks out, is there any way just to disable that os I can keep goin? [01:32] why does the video glitch and then go black whenever I make my totem window above a certain size? [01:32] This happens after my machine has been up for a while [01:36] okay, I guess I'll have to reboot it as often as a windows machine. [01:37] puppy_parade: totem is a gstream player. The length of time your system is "up" should make absolutely no difference. Totem is either doing something, or it isnt. Chances are it has more to do with what is going on in the background than the time "up". [01:38] right, but rebooting fixes it. [01:38] puppy_parade: I would immediately look at flash to blame. [01:38] but, I'm not playing flash [01:38] yes... again... keep your machine up for a week... then close EVERYTHING else... and try. [01:38] it's h.264 inside mkv [01:38] puppy_parade: if you have a web page open... in the background... chances are.. you are using flash. [01:39] why would that interfere with playing a video? [01:39] This is not the forum to explain "why". It is my guess as to a cause. [01:40] Flash on linux is... problematic... on a number of levels [01:40] puppy_parade: Probably a compositing issue. Graphical related. Most of the weird freezing type bugs I have had in the past have been. Try a different window manager to test and see if you still have issues [01:40] killing the browser did it. [01:40] thanks L3top [01:40] tadaa [01:41] bobo37773, is it a compiz thing? [01:41] puppy_parade: Possibly. Do you run compiz? [01:41] unity runs on top of compiz. right? [01:41] flash + compiz = eternal struggle [01:41] yes [01:41] * puppy_parade sighs. [01:42] I know... I am with you brother. [01:42] puppy_parade: try something light like openbox and see if you still experience any freezing issues and then you will know for sure [01:42] * puppy_parade goes off to see what progess wayland has made. [01:42] L3top: that "f + c = e.s." was really good [01:42] but I like unity [01:42] =( [01:43] I have some issues with compiz... but they pale in comparison to my issues with adobe. Blame lies in flash. [01:43] esp on nvidia. [01:44] outside their drivers? [01:44] I am running a radeon [01:44] puppy_parade: Just to test to find out. If the problem is with flash then it may still be graphically related. Try the newer chrome builds with pepperflash and see if that helps [01:45] yo [01:45] I used to run chrome, but it was doing something wrong and I chromium fixed it, but I forgot what it was [01:45] it might have been flash... [01:45] got another issue (of my own ignorance) that I need a hand with if possible... [01:45] isntalled ubuntu mini and need to get audio working [01:46] codenomics: typically, installing a program that needs audio pulls in a working sound system. what does alsamixer say? [01:47] havent talked to it yet... [01:47] bad joke. I know. [01:48] zykotick9: there is no also mixer that I can find... [01:48] codenomics: type alsamixer in a terminal and see if any of them say [M] on the bottom (means muted) [01:48] codenomics: alsamixer - notice the mulpitle a, but no o [01:48] wow... I said "also mixer" that was a typo [01:49] there is no alsamixer [01:49] codenomics: ;) i don't think you have sound installed [01:49] neither do i. seems like a lot more is missign than I expected [01:50] codenomics: FYI mini starts from NOTHING (if that's what you selected) [01:50] zykotick9: I selected things... they aparently didnt install [01:51] installing the alsa-utils right now [01:51] codenomics: i've developed long install lists for apt-get, then batch files - for installing my desired system from a mini/netinstall-like cd ;) [01:51] I like that idea actually [01:52] codemaniac, did you install lxde or lubuntu-desktop? [01:52] lxde [01:52] the mini iso is a misnomer... it is more correctly called the netinst cd... it is not for installing a minimal ubuntu, but rather is a minimal size cd, which then downloads everything needed for the actual installation [01:53] codenomics: fyi anything *-desktop in ubuntu brings in a LOT of stuff. not core to the DE being used. [01:53] lubuntu-desktop is the complete metapackage [01:53] psusi: ubuntu calls in mini, debian calls it netinstall - no misnomer. [01:53] yeah I figured [01:53] I dont want the complete package [01:53] zykotick9, it's a misnomer because it makes people think it is for installing a minimal system, rather than what it really is; a net inst [01:54] that is why I grabbed this installer [01:54] i'm trying to get my hdmi audio out working, when I go into system settings > sound settings and choose the right settings for my hdmi chip on the hardware tab, I can test the left and right and hear the test voice, but none of the system sounds are being routed through there. when I go into also mixer and select the hdmi sound chip it shows spdif [,1,2] they all have 00 (not MM) but no volume bars (nothing happens when i press up and d [01:54] psusi: it IS for installing a minimal system (only option to do that). BUT it can ALSO install ANYTHING else you want in ubuntu-world ;) [01:54] s/also mixer/alsamixer [01:55] zykotick9, the only difference between it and the regular server/alternate installer is that the cd doesn't come with a number of packages already on it, so they have to be downloaded [01:55] it doesn't give any more of a minimal system than those do [01:55] audio is working yay [01:55] psusi: i actually prefer ubuntu's mini, to debian-netinstall (and trust me, that says a lot) - but ubuntu has so many cool options: server, xubuntu, kubuntu, etc. it's a really cool feature. [01:56] zykotick9: none of which worked when I selected them [01:56] codenomics: i don't think you selected things correctly during install. [01:57] highlight option, hit spacebar... [01:57] it shows an X and then you hit enter to continue [01:57] unless I missed something there [02:03] psusi: fyi, if you install from mini and select nothing during tasksel, then you get a bare-bones "ubuntu" system. where you can install only the packages that you want, and if you avoid the big ubuntu-metapackages (anything-desktop named) you can have a very "light" ubuntu ;) BUT it can't update from version number to version number without at least one -desktop :( [02:03] is there any sort of auto login script for wifi that gets through most wifi spots that require an HTTP login [02:06] fewqradw: I don't know, but they're pretty trivial to write using one of the mechanize libraries (python has one for example) [02:10] HI, what should I do about my acer aspire one touchpad right mouse click not working? [02:10] it works when I boot to win, but not with ubuntu [02:11] it seems to work as a left click [02:11] when it should be a right click [02:11] When I attach an external mouse, everything works fine [02:12] Hello guys, I recently installed Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS on my Desktop. I got the windows wireless drivers to work not I'm having trouble with the graphics. For one there are 4 Propreity drivers and I don't know which to use. For 2 when I start up my computer it gives me some error that the screen resolution needs to be changed. Can anyone help me fix this?

[02:29] so many people [02:29] can anyone help me? [02:30] i don't know [02:30] treaver, what do you mean wont start up? [02:31] When I turn it on after the restart ::: [02:31] It boots to the Emachine sscreen [02:31] Then it says [02:31] "Input signal out of range change settings to 1600x900 = 60hz" [02:31] ok [02:32] so you have driver issues. [02:32] press ctl + alt + f1 [02:32] it should give you a command prompt depending where you are. [02:32] or you'll have to go into safe mode with networking in order to redo your graphics.

[02:37] k [02:38] hi guys, there's a software that allow me to record from my web-cam, but i need to record every 30 secs [02:38] 1) try google, it will walk you through it. but instead, i'll google for you. [02:38] I have a process called plugin-containe and it is constantly using about 40% of my machine processor. Besides my machine is very hot. My question about this process, is it important to have it running, who uses it? Could someone help me figure it please? [02:38] LennyKitty: see what "sudo apt-get -f install" is breaking on, and try and fix that package situation. [02:38] treaver, have a look here: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/ubuntu-x-swat [02:38] it's what i use [02:39] Hi guys, Anyone knows why login takes so long on ubuntu 12.04? It used to be faster, then suddenly it takes some time to show my icons. [02:39] ?? [02:39] dundee, probably a unity issue, should be fixed in the new update for 12.04 [02:40] 12.10* [02:40] My computer won't even start [02:40] yes it will treaver. [02:40] How can I get it to start then [02:40] ok. I guess I should wait on 12.10, or should I update to the Beta? [02:41] it is starting. :) your display isn't working correctly. [02:41] I've told you what to do already. [02:41] zykotick9: not breaking [02:41] No how do I do it exactly, I'm not good with this [02:41] dundee, I would wait for the stable. [02:41] ok thanks. [02:42] treaver, I dont know the exact instructions, but the link i gave you should be helpful. try googling - reinstalling drivers from safe mode. [02:42] How do I enter safe mode? [02:42] google it [02:42] LennyKitty: did it install stuff? if so retry your upgrade. fyi, good luck with upgrading - expect issues... [02:42] RobbyF, never recommend that here. ever. [02:43] zykotick9: no it didnt, but im gonna try it again [02:43] sorry. [02:44] treaver, when you boot the machine, you have a selectable option to choose safemode. [02:44] No I don't [02:45] It boots to black screen after the Emachines [02:45] by the way could my login taking too long be affected by the fact that I have kubuntu-desktop installed too? [02:46] you said before you had low graphics mode? [02:46] It is telling me it's running in low graphics mode now [02:46] dundee, possible. but I doubt it. what is 'too long' in terms of time vs your hardware specs. [02:46] I clicked ok [02:47] What would you like to do? run in low-graphics mode for just one session (tried it doens't work) reconfigure graphics (Does nothing) Trouble shoot the error (Gives me a log of useless stuff) Exit to console login (gives me white screen again) [02:47] I tried all options [02:47] Hardware specs ok, 4gb Ram, Dual Core. Time is about 2 mins after I enter my password [02:49] dundee, from my experience, that does sound quit long. an older hard drive running bad maybe? [02:49] I will try to install Ubuntu 12.10 again.. Damn when I install this on laptops it works perfectly... [02:51] So I have this problem where my netbook's touchpad's right click acts as a left click. Can someone point me in the right direction. [02:51] treaver: it's probably a recoverable error, have you tried rebooting into recovery mode? you may need to hold down shift on boot for the menu to pop up [02:52] Datz, just taking a guess here, but which netbook? I read that netbook support isn't the greatest. [02:52] it's the acer inspire one [02:52] when I use the mouse, all's well, when I boot to win7, all's well [02:53] I guess there is something wrong with the driver [02:53] too bad the right click is pretty useful [02:54] Datz, ubuntu 12.04?

[03:12] oh yea [03:12] well i tried and it didn t send me to the appropriate domain [03:13] may not be able to access it locally then [03:13] ChesterX: 168.X.X.X is not a range I recognise for local networks, whereas 192.X.X.X is [03:13] yea, that too [03:14] ChesterX: and if it isn't runniong a web server, you wont get anything in IE [03:14] ChesterX: and why are you running IE and asking questions in #ubuntu??

[03:24] !screen | BlackWeb [03:24] BlackWeb: screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. The 'byobu' package provides very useful additional utilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen [03:25] BlackWeb: so you start screen on the server, connect to it through ssh, run commands on it, and detach from it. It carries on [03:25] !Proprietary [03:25] BlackWeb: also, byobu and tmux [03:25] !proprietary [03:25] Alright I'll look into that Thanks :) [03:25] BlackWeb: np [03:26] !nivida [03:26] Treaver: if you want to do gaming or something a proprietary driver might help, or if the driver linux provides isn't working [03:27] So proprietary drivers are not needed? [03:27] Treaver: nope [03:27] Hmm [03:27] Ok, now if I want to install a proprietary driver which one do I choose [03:29] solved I have another bad image. wifi hotspots torrent.. 2ND BAD IMAGE any suggestions?

[03:32] Treaver: you might need to modify your monitor settings in the Xorg.conf file. [03:32] Asphyxium: 9.10 support ended Apr 2011 [03:33] But does anyone remember? I'm trying to find a non-Unity desktop which supports GUI modification of the refresh rate. [03:33] I know version 8 does but I want the newest one possible [03:34] The problem is my Internet connection. It transfers at only 92 kilobytes a second, thus a 700 MB download is a big deal for me.

[03:47] sdw195: was modprobe? [03:47] modprobe? === paulus68_ is now known as paulus68 [03:50] sdw195: used to load kernel modules. do you see the device listed in network-manager? [03:51] somsip are you still on [03:51] do have access to the pc, he emailed me from his xp boot [03:52] BlackWeb: yes [03:55] Alright, nvm I think i figured it out, So i went ahead and tried screen using SCP then it executed it, then it brought me back to the command prompt and I executed screen -ls and see the process now, so do i have to first detach from it before i close out ssh [03:56] dont not do, sorry [03:57] Then when i reattach is there away to see the progress of the scp [03:58] BlackWeb: first, I don't use screen. I can only give advice in the context of tmux. With tmux, it's always running on my servers. I connect to the servers with something like 'autossh {ssh-alias} -t tmux a' so it reattaches to the running tmux session automatically. If I run a long script, like a DB dump, I detach from tmux with CTRL-B D, and that drops to my terminal. If I connect again, it reattaches to the same session so I can s [04:00] quit [04:00] BlackWeb: in short, you need to reattach the to running session of screen. I'd use 'tmux a'. Screen will have something similar [04:01] Alright, I'll try out tmux, cause ya I went ahead and reattached to the process and it just appears as attached but no progress indicator is shown [04:01] for the scp command [04:01] BlackWeb: you might have created a new session instead of reattching to an existing one. [04:01] BlackWeb: And I wouldn't say tmux is bette.r IT's just the one I decided on for reasons lost in memory... [04:02] 'screen -x' to reattach to an existing screen session [04:02] 'secreen -r' to specify a specific screne instance if you have multiple detached [04:03] alright I'll mess around with it a little more, cause ya it shows that I've reattached to the processID but not sure how so see the progress indicator for SCP [04:04] BlackWeb: it shiould just show like a terminal window. But kiwi_3063 seems to knwo about screen so maybe he can take over with help? [04:04] im just about to leave sorry, just thought id chip in there :p [04:04] Alright its cool, [04:04] BlackWeb: any chance you have two sessions running and connected to the wrong one? [04:05] hello [04:05] hey i gotta question.... [04:05] Right now it looks just like a regular terminal window, & when i list the process by screen -ls then it shows me as attached, but is there anyway to see the progress of the process [04:06] There is a screen on: [04:06] 1878.pts-1.SWORD (10/07/2012 09:50:41 PM) (Attached) [04:06] 1 Socket in /var/run/screen/S-infinity. [04:06] Thats what i get when I type screen -ls [04:06] BlackWeb: it should look like a normal ssh/terminal. The same as it was when you detached [04:06] ya it does [04:06] is there a way to see the progress of the scp command I executed [04:06] BlackWeb: but it should show the last commands you enetered, which I guess should include the scp [04:07] can someone help me install ubuntu alongisde windows 7 [04:08] Alright I'll see if I can figure it out, [04:09] BlackWeb: the only other thing I suggest is detach from screen and screen -ls to make sure you just have one running. Kill the other if there is one, or connect to the one that was running scp using the screen -r command suggested by kiwi_3063 [04:10] Alright, I'll give that a try, Thanks for all the Help :) [04:10] waco001 - I just followed this tutorial about an hour ago and it went very smoothly.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [05:34] steven-, i use subsonic, it streams music (there's a subsonic app for it, two of them, but the problem you'll have is the 30 day limit of the subsonic API--- this isnt a 30 day limit on the ipod/iphone app, but on the "API" of the hosting subsonic server-- you can give a little donation to receive a key for unlimitted use of the API) [05:35] steven-, (the donation goes to the subsonic.org, which arent the makers of the ipod app) [05:35] look all I want to do is get this chuck klosterman audio book onto my iphone and go for a jog [05:35] I use ubuntu 12.04 [05:35] I got the files stolen from what.cd in mp3 forum [05:35] steven-, well listen kid, you said "music", so go on and take on the day [05:35] I just want them to go onto the iphone and play [05:35] lol [05:36] same thing, you can use that too. [05:36] I am using virtual box [05:36] i'm about to pay for this book [05:36] just so I don't have to deal with this [05:36] ubuntu will not recognise my cd rom [05:36] this is what the world has come to [05:38] * jagginess thinks people who joke about "stealing" should be kicked. [05:38] steven-: do you have a support question. really. [05:38] I took my bites and bytes and now no one else can ever have them [05:38] somsip, no he doesnt. [05:40] somsip: yea how do I load mp3 files from ubuntu onto my iphone? [05:40] steven-: no idea. I believe their is software that works like itunes but I've never used them [05:40] *there [05:41] steveGODSchild, Did you install the extension pack, you might try #vbox [05:42] what is the extention pacjk [05:42] and where do I get it [05:43] steveGODSchild, You know they have a comprehensive manual. https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads [05:44] thanks I will go and read that [05:44] thanks for the info [05:45] Hey just wondering if someone could help me out, I'm using Screen right now and when I transfer files from a remote server then it starts the transfer, then just places it in the background, My question is alright the transfer has started but How do I know the progress of the transfer using Screen, So that I know if its almost done or if its done? [05:47] you closed out of the screen and now you want it back? [05:47] try screen -raAd [05:48] No, I'm still attached to the Session of screen which is doing a FTP transfer, How do I know the progress of the FTP Transfer [05:48] what are you using for the ftp transfer? [05:48] so the FTP transfer is taking place in the background with Screen but I have no Idea when the Transfer is completed or the progress of the transfer [05:49] SCP [05:49] you cant pull up the screen with the running scp? [05:49] Is there a way to see the progress [05:49] you know how screen works? [05:49] you can go back to windows you had in screens [05:50] Ya, I'm attached to the current window, and its doing the Transfer in the background but how do I see the progress of the transfer [05:51] So Have 3 PCs ( A B C) Local connected to A, SSH into C, Transfering files from B to C, but cant see the transfer progress going to C [05:52] not sure thats over my head === TheJellyfish_ is now known as TheJellyfish [05:54] BlackWeb: So you ssh to C. You run screen. You issue 'scp B:file C:' and it shows you the progress. You detach from screen and you drop to the ssh to C. You close that, you're back at A. You ssh to C again, you reconnect to screen again, and it should show you the scp progress [05:54] 5 years ago I ran gentoo got my music from mpd and used pine to get my mail now I can't even load mp3s onto my 600$ phone this must be what its like to get old [05:54] somsip thats the thing when I do that then it Executes the SCP and it doesnt show any progress but the Transfer is taking place though [05:55] so I started screen [05:55] it gives me a new session [05:55] then when I do the scp [05:55] its does it then brings me back to the command promp [05:55] has it finished? Commands usually do that when you have completed [05:57] The file is on the Machine ya, So its suppose to have progress bar until it finishes it using Screen, Cause right now I'm testing it using 3 Computers on Local Network, but going to eventually use it with my Seedbox [05:58] BlackWeb: does the progress bar show when you just ssh and scp from that without screen? [05:58] BlackWeb: http://askubuntu.com/questions/44059/progress-bar-in-scp-command === trijntje_ is now known as trijntje [05:59] No, as soon as I "scp file1 Server" then it moves down one line, and back at command prompt but file is on server now so no progress bar at all [05:59] BlackWeb: so there isn't a progress bar with scp and it's not a problem with screen? [05:59] But if I dont use Screen then scp then ya there is a status bar [06:00] BlackWeb: nope. I don't get what you're doing here. Sorry. [06:02] somsip: sounds like he gets a progress bar with scp when he isn't in a screen session, but it disappears when he is in a screen session. now he wants the status bar back when in screen [06:02] screen doesn't do a number of things well, try tmux and you might have better results. [06:03] ardchoille: yes, but I don't understand why this is happening. I'm a tmux user with no direct experience of screen [06:03] somsip: it seems tmux handles things better than screen [06:03] ebravick: thank you for that info [06:03] ardchoille: that's maybe why I expect it to work simply [06:04] can anyone plese tell me the help channel for virtual box? [06:04] PaSsI: #vbox I believe [06:04] somsip, thanks [06:04] somsip: yeah, I wasn't aware of this issue either.. until ebravick spoke up [06:04] PaSsI: could be wrong. Someone else asked earlier and that was the repl [06:05] Alright I figured it out, have to use the verbose option, When Using just scp I dont [06:05] somsip: BlackWeb: progress bar functionality needs a terminal type that supports it. If screen is presenting a terminal type that scp sees as too dumb, it won't do a progress bar. [06:05] Sorry my bad, Thanks everyone :) [06:05] timfrost: ah - I'm used to installed ncurses-termcap which sorts that sort of thing out IIRC [06:05] BlackWeb: cool- glad you got it in the end [06:06] somsip, vbox it is....thanks again [06:06] PaSsI: heh [06:07] hi [06:07] I have a app installed in wine how do I get firefox (native linux) to handle url protocols with it? [06:08] ShapeShifter499: you might also ask in the wine channel, #winehq I believe [06:08] I have [06:08] ShapeShifter499: i'd imagine you'd have to get the app to pass the urls to ff [06:08] I know it worked in the past [06:08] but this is on a fresh install and I can't seem to get it to work === maniac is now known as Guest17476 [06:13] Can i use mini.iso in UCK, i want to create livecd with vmware-view-client 1.6 and gnome installed is it possible with UCK? === Ubuntu is now known as Guest55902 [06:31] :) === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [06:34] I need hel-\ [06:34] hey guys...can I have lucid type gnome look in 12.04 .... [06:34] !nounity | mechteam [06:34] mechteam: 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 [06:34] I need help === Shazer[2]_ is now known as Shazer[2] [06:38] Shazer[2]: you there?

[06:44] hello all [06:45] yellabs-r2: morning [06:45] i have thsi problem , on 12.04 and firefox , that firefox does not open torrents in transmission any more [06:45] any tips are welcome [06:46] yellabs-r2: what happens when you click on a torrent link? [06:46] Hello all! === Bercik_ is now known as Bercik [06:46] it asks me to open it in google crhome [06:47] how at english named "First name, last name, middle name and sex" in one word? [06:47] NoOova: there isn't one word for that [06:47] "Credentials" is not that? [06:48] it say's , and i quote : Open with Google Chrome ( default ) [06:48] NoOova: I guess you could use credentials but that's not really what it means [06:48] NoOova: anyway #u-ot [06:49] yellabs-r2: what other options do you have in the dropdown? [06:49] choose the program [06:49] ello [06:49] that i would ike to use [06:51] i could then choose transmission-gtk, but the option to keep it as default is greyed out [06:52] so i would have to do that every time, that setting would not be saved [06:52] when i go to /etc/ssh/sshd_config and remove the comment (#) from the line: #Port 22 and instead write Port 50683, save and close and do /etc/init.d/sshd restart i cannot connect to ssh any long - even if i do ssh x.x.x.x -p 50683. Only when i go back in again and comment out the line again and restart i can connect via ssh again normally. How do i move ssh to another port so that it actually works?

[06:54] but i dont want that afcause , does it give any clue 's as to what the problem might be ? [06:55] somsip: no, same. i tried 7867, and also did not work [06:55] diverdude: erm...7867 is not less than 1024... [06:57] somsip: oh sry, i read wrong [06:58] diverdude: I use 1022. There was probably some reason why I didn't use >1024 that I don't remember now... [06:58] somsip: small screen netbook? [06:58] hi - i need to add some kind of wait/sleep to a shell/bash script. what would you guys recommend? sleep? [06:59] seems removing and reinstalling the packages "fixed" it [06:59] ardchoille: no. webservers. [06:59] fidel_: look at man sleep, some options there [07:00] hi guys is there any way to make shortcut key to open terminal in the current directory like in KDE? [07:00] i can make shortcut key to open terminal but that would open my home directory [07:01] how does one diagnose a crash, when the server has stopped responding, and has to be remote restarted (soft) - are there any logs that survive the reboot? [07:01] ardchoille: yep i do know sleep - i was just wondering if you guxys wouldrecommend something else instead of sleep ;) [07:02] ripthejacker: if you're using nautilus, you can install nautilus-open-terminal [07:02] somsip: 1022 dont work either [07:02] I'm assuming it's memory/swap related, since I'm running a long running background job, but it's hard to day [07:02] to say* [07:02] diverdude: firewall? [07:02] ripthejacker: gnome-terminal --working-directory /path/to/desired/dir [07:02] somsip: only if there is a firewall built into centos [07:03] diverdude: centos? No idea then [07:05] Hi guys, I just want to know about main and restricted and universe and multiverse , there aren't update patches for universe and multiverse component in ubuntu repositories ? [07:05] and there are support for main and restricted componenet ? [07:11] Hello! Could somone answer how to power of ubuntu 12.04, i have try the grub-update and sudo poweroff and and it dont work [07:11] truman: sudo shutdown -h now [07:12] ok thanks [07:12] sudo halt -p [07:13] strange problem solved : firefox not opening transmission , wanting to open with google chrome instead : delete google chrome , wich was installed from the internet site, restores the default firefox behavior, and it opens torrents again with transmission [07:13] ardchoille, path to desired dir? but that will always open it in same directory i want it to open in current working directory [07:14] ripthejacker: that will open the terminal where you tell it to. isn't that what you asked for? [07:16] ardchoille, no i want to set a keyborad shortcut to open terminal with pwd as the current directory just like f4 key in KDe [07:17] ripthejacker: oh, ok, I don't have any idea, but I think that will involve using "URI" similar to what is used in a nautilus script [07:19] ardchoille, i have no idea how to do that but still thanks for helping [07:21] ripthejacker: I think the biggest hurdle for that will be getting the keyboard shortcut to know what the value of pwd is at any given moment. The nautilus-open-terminal can do it but that is a right click tather than a kb shortcut [07:23] ardchoille, nautilus-open-terminal will do for now thanks friend :) [07:24] ripthejacker: good luck :) [07:24] i have to re login after installing it? [07:24] you shouldn't need to but relaunch nautilus [07:24] i know now for sure that iptables is causing the problem since /etc/init.d/iptables stop makes it work! however, adding a rule like iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 50683 -j ACCEPT and then stop and start does not work :( So what am I missing?

How to find out why lighttpd uses all of the memory and swap? [07:28] !details | Zokol [07:28] Zokol: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [07:29] Zokol: there is btw #ubuntu-server aswell - not sure if it really adds more then this channel already can offer [07:31] Zokol: and there again is #lighttpd aswell ;) [07:32] I'm running 10.04.3 on three servers with lighttpd, PHP and mapserver. Each of the servers starts to commit more and more memory at 2pm, it stops at 5:30am when lighttpd is restarted with cron. [07:33] just curious if there is a way to see why lighttpd uses that much memory [07:33] Zokol: personaly i am not used to lighttpd - there for consider asking in the project channel aswell - at least if noone else inhere is able to offer help [07:34] thanks, i will ask from #lighttpd [07:39] ^_^ [07:40] Iam about to install a program that uses a lot of space in various folders in /var so i was about to mount another drive into /var but what happens when i do so? [07:41] Do the "old" files and folders get removed or are simply new files written onto that new drive? [07:41] LittleFool: The old files will be untouched and still be there, but hidden below the new filesystem mounted on top [07:42] geirha: so they arent usable? means i have to copy them before mounting at this point? [07:42] Can anyone help me with 3G? [07:42] LittleFool: So you should boot a live CD, mount the new /var partition on /mnt or something, copy the files from the current /var to /mnt, then have it mounted on /var on next boot [07:43] geirha: okey thanks for the info [07:43] LittleFool: If that works, boot back into a live session and wipe the old /var dir [07:43] How do I check to see if Linux detects my 3G device?' [07:44] I don't see anything in lspci? [07:44] LittleFool: You'll need to take care that the files retain their ownership and permission bits after the copy [07:45] geirha: ow yea...i have to find out how to mount a drive in kvm before anyway dont want to create a huge img file [07:45] Xethron: use dmesg and lsusb (in case it use USB interface) [07:46] LittleFool: and rename your old /var so you don't get dead, inaccesible files overwritten by teh new mount [07:47] somsip: they won't be [07:47] geirha: if a filesystem gets mounted on an existing dir with files in, the existing files are inaccessible. I had this the other week when I messed up a /boot move [07:48] somsip: yes, which is why he should set it up in the live session [07:49] there's likely be lots of open file handles in /var when the system is running, so it would be really tricky to pull it off without a reboot [07:49] geirha: if he's never had a /var before, then fair enough. If he has an existing /var, any contents will be inaccessible. It's just dead drive space [07:49] Stanley00: its a built in modem... [07:50] wake up big baby [07:50] Xethron: then you can try "dmesg | grep -i modem" [07:51] somsip: that's irrelevant as long as it's done while the system isn't running [07:51] geirha: maybe we're talking at cross purposes. this exaplins what I mean. It may, or may not, be relevant to LittleFool http://superuser.com/questions/200685/what-does-linux-do-with-existing-files-in-a-mount-point [07:51] Stanley00: Nothing :/ [07:52] Stanley00: Its a laptop with a built in 3G modem. No idea what type it is though [07:53] how to use translate text [07:54] somsip: that's what we're talking about. I suggested he keep both /var/s until he could test that the new one is working as expected; then remove the old one. [07:54] Stanley00: In lspci, i get this: 03:00.0 Unassigned class [ff00]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 5289 (rev 01) [07:54] the last part can be done while the system is running though [07:54] not sure what that is [07:55] geirha: agreed. He can just delete if if he renames it. Otherwise he has to boot to livecd again...

[08:02] It just stops completely [08:03] Stanley00: ah, yeah, its a card reader :/ [08:04] so that means that Linux doesn't pick up the 3G card?

CAn you plzzz to it :p [08:12] Treaver: it's not too hard. you can do it, dude [08:12] I think I got it [08:12] So it should say : [08:13] GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="quiet acpi_osi=linux acpi_backlight=vendor" exactly right?

[08:50] Im trying to copy my /var to another disk with a live cd but i cant mount my old / partition. i got sda2 as extended and sda5 as linux lvm [08:50] chris_: ip or ifconfig [08:50] llutz, both is possible [08:51] llutz, thats okay worked it out :D right clicked my internet logo and selected info [08:51] llutz, thank you for the help!! [08:52] Hello #ubuntu, I have a question about how to get a broken package version in ubuntu reverted in mainline === Kartrohm_afk is now known as Kartrohm [08:55] The "lv2fil" package was updated prematurely to a git snapshot that is broken. I filed LP bug 907960 many months ago to revert to the official release, but have gotten no traction [08:55] Launchpad bug 907960 in lv2fil (Ubuntu) "Jittery UI controls in Ardour" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/907960 [08:55] any adivice please? [08:55] ThinkT510 .. Having a little trouble finding the exact model of BCM that I have; I think that's been a big part of my problem. [08:55] tje2: what does lspci say? [08:55] This is all I get back from "lspci -vvnn": 01:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation Device [14e4:4365] (rev 01) [08:56] That's where I looked. ;) According to the docs you provided, of course. heh [08:56] It's a brand new Dell Inspiron 17R, but the docs have been sparse on real technical detail [08:56] tje2: can you pastebin all of lspci? [08:57] ThinkT510, Gladly. Just a sec, please. [08:58] Hello everyone, sorry for not replying for long. Here is the pastebin : http://pastebin.com/ek3MNZSs [08:59] ThinkT510 .. Here's the pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1267119/ [08:59] llutz, http://pastebin.com/ek3MNZSs is the script [08:59] It'll be the second from the last. [08:59] mhr: don't use "./something" in cronscripts === mk is now known as Guest64217 [09:00] mhr: what crontab did you add this to? [09:01] llutz, as i have already cd into the directory, can't I use ./something? [09:01] Is anyone itc familiar with ubuntu's initrd? [09:01] mhr: don't do GREP=`which grep` etc. That's completely pointless [09:02] tje2: after a duckduckgo search it looks like there are no linux drivers for that broadcom chip [09:02] ThinkT510 .. hahaha.... That figures. Were you able to determine what the chipset is at least? [09:02] tje2: if you really want to use it you may need to use ndiswrappre [09:02] I figure I can keep an eye out for support for that chip. [09:02] mhr: And always test the exit status of cd. In your case. cd /root/Test/ || exit especially when one of the following commands is an rm [09:03] */5 * * * * /root/Test/create-final-file >> /root/Test/cronOutput [09:03] ThinkT510 .. Yeah, I wanted to at least try that, but I've got x86_64 Linux and I have no idea where to find the appropriate drivers for Win to try with ndiswrapper. [09:03] mhr: append 2>&1 at the end there so we also see the error output [09:04] tje2: well, sorry i can't help further, i avoid broadcom like the plague for wifi [09:04] Hey Ubuntu people! Does anyone have a recomendation for a firewall to use on ubuntu 12.04? Low maintaince and easy to set up? and will work with most apps (ie nicotine?)

The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. [09:04] ThinkT510 .. Yeah, def not my first choice either (using 2 diff NetGear USB-based dongles currently), but for the price of this laptop and the rest of the specs, I just couldn't pass it up. [09:05] actually the file after being downloaded should be there in the directory, but I can not see it. [09:05] ThinkT510 .. I ended up w/ this Dell for right about $700; 4 x 2.5 Ghz Intel Core i5, 8 GB RAM, and 1TB hard drive, 17.3" viewable screen, etc. [09:05] !cookie | sonsip [09:05] sonsip: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [09:05] mhr what crontab are you using? users or root? [09:05] somsip, Thanks :D [09:06] mhr: Then possibly the cd command failed [09:06] chris_: you're welcome [09:06] tje2: intel graphics too? [09:06] Don't you know it! [09:06] haha [09:06] I don't much care about that... As long as it'll run at least 1280x1024 or so in 24-bit color or better, that's all I need. I wouldn't dare waste CPU cycles gaming on a PC.

[09:07] howto remove zeitgeist service to not log history [09:07] tje2: ivy bridge is very new, you may need to use 12.10 when it comes out (3.5 kernel) === Guest60660 is now known as caddoo [09:07] ThinkT510 .. Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention the kernel. I've been rolling my own on this box since basically Day One. I just compiled and booted 3.5.6 about 2 hours ago. [09:08] guys [09:08] is tinyproxy slow by default? or is it just me? [09:08] I had 3.5.3, then 3.5.5, now 3.5.6....all largely trying to get this damn wireless to work. === pancro is now known as MrHappy [09:08] in the pastebin i have used another expect script to download the zip file [09:08] it looks like my TV gets like only 50k/bytes sec, on my 450 kB line [09:08] can it be the problem? [09:09] tje2: if you can replace it [09:09] abbas__, So you're saying that you're pulling about 50 KiloBYTES/sec on your 450 KiloBIT/sec connection? [09:09] mhr: Possibly. The error output should help identify the problem ... [09:09] Hi, I am installing ubuntu 12.04 alongside windows 7. I have two hard disk and I want one to have Ubuntu and the other to have Windows. I am ath the partitioning stage and when I click to install Ubuntu on the other hard disk to [09:09] mhr .. You're debugging a shell script, right? [09:09] Windows it's saying this - No root file system is defined - What does this mean and how do I continue with the installation? [09:09] tje2 [09:09] I've upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04 some months ago and the "window raise" or whatever its called functionality seems to have gotten bugged for me (or changed in this version). When I click a window that is behind another window, it will be activated, but not brought to front - unless I click the title bar of the window. [09:10] How do I change this to "normal"? [09:10] yeah my tv tries to stream via tiny proxy, but it seems its getting VERY slow speeds [09:10] abbas__, That sounds like perfectly appropriate speeds for a 450 kbit/sec pipe. I'd expect between 45KB/sec - 50KB/sec due to the size of the connection itself, not latency introduced by an extra hop (such as the proxy). [09:11] tje2, debugging? I din't get you. How to do that? [09:11] tje2, my ubuntu tinyproxy has a 450 kBytes/sec line [09:11] and its maxed out if i use broser/steam on ubutnu [09:11] mhr .. You're trying to alleviate a bug in a shell script, yes? [09:11] but the tv gets lke only 20% of that, even when all bandwidth is idle [09:11] If I tweak "window focus mode" to mouse, it will raise whatever I mouseover, click mode will only work for the title bars and "sloppy" works exactly the same as "mouse" [09:12] abbas__, I don't think so. Based on the numbers you've provided (at least since I've been in-channel) look totally normal to me. [09:12] tje2, yes I want the shell script to work from cron too as it works running from terminal manually. [09:12] tje2, shouldnt the proxy be taking use of the full bandwidth? the tv is getting on 50kBytes/sec of teh 450kBytes/sec proxy bandwidth [09:12] mhr: is this pastebin the most recent copy of the script? http://pastebin.com/ek3MNZSs [09:13] mhr .. Oh, OK, you're fixing a different issue than I realized.... Not real familiar w/ the cron aspect of it, sorry. [09:13] yes [09:13] how to remove the softwares which were not installed from software manager? [09:13] somsip, yes [09:13] mhr: you said you'd replaced all relative paths with absolute paths? [09:14] what are backports [09:14] !backports | theplanet [09:14] theplanet: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [09:15] somsip .. Just a guess here, but I have a strong suspicion that something in that script of mhr's is freaking out because it doesn't have a controlling tty/terminal device. Or it may call something that expects input from the user, at which case, it would likely hang indefinitely if ran from crond(8). [09:15] somsip, relative paths of the executable commands like zip and unzip [09:15] Hi, I am installing ubuntu 12.04 alongside windows 7. I have two hard disk and I want one to have Ubuntu and the other to have Windows. I am at the partitioning stage and when I click to install Ubuntu on the other [09:15] Hard Disk to Windows it's saying this - No root file system is defined - What does this mean and how do I continue with the installation? [09:15] mhr: so in download-data-zip() you use "./auto_SCP.sh root@x.x.x.x:/home/name/data/data-3.0.zip ./" This does not look like a relative path/ Or am I missing something [09:16] BlueWolf, did you set mount point? [09:17] somsip, so you mean i should change that relative path too? ok let me try with absolute path [09:17] LorSamPau_w: Ok what do you mean by the mount point? [09:17] mhr: you said the zipfile is missing, so it's most likely "auto_SCP.sh" failing in a cronjob [09:17] tje2, yes i am using expect script to automatically provide password when asked [09:17] mhr: that was just the first example. create-new-data-zip() has loads too, eg: $RM ./data-3.0/abc/file1 [09:17] absolute vs relative paths really isn't the problem, it's more likely the lack of error handling. Error output should give some better clues [09:17] okay [09:17] mhr .. OK, that may have something to do with it.... [09:18] so it looks like I do indeed have WAN acess [09:18] but no DNS [09:18] BlueWolf, http://www.basicconfig.com/files/content/manual_partition_ubuntu07.preview.png [09:18] geirha .. Agreed. I think they're just cleaning up the script to make it readable enough to debug. ;) [09:18] mhr: and as geirha says, you should check for the existence of files before performing operationsa on them at least [09:18] ok i will change all relative paths to absolute [09:18] mhr: any reason why you don't just use keys instead of doing crazy hacks with expect? [09:18] BlueWolf, there is mount point... without setting it install will not start [09:18] or at least, whatever DNS linux is attempting to use, isn't working. How can I figure out what DNS it's attempting to use? Is there any way other than to look at /etc/resolv.conf? [09:18] somsip: not really what I meant [09:19] rufsketch1 .. Nope, that file is THE place that you specify your DNS servers. === theplanet is now known as eilyx [09:19] rufsketch1 .. I can likely help you w/ the DNS issues.... [09:19] I want the script to automate a task and run everyday rather than manually. [09:19] tje2: I would appreciate that [09:19] LorSamPau_w: Ok now I have sda and sdb - I want to install on sdb as windows is already installed on sda? [09:19] mhr: I correct. And as geirha says, you need some error handling. Such as checking for the existence of files before performing operations on them [09:20] rufsketch1 .. Mind giving me a pastebin of your /etc/resolv.conf file real quick? [09:20] BlueWolf, select device that you want ubuntu to install to(sdb) and set it's mount point to "/" [09:20] rufsketch1 .. actually, if you can't resolve pastebin.net or whatever, you can privmsg the file details to me so we can get started. [09:20] somsip, ok. I will check that as well. [09:20] tje2: see, I wasn't sure if it was THE place. because the gui network management tool allows me to specify a different DNS server. But it doesn't modify the resolv.conf log. And the sylog seems to show that the network initializes with the dns server i specify in that gui [09:20] somsip: Not really any point in checking for file existance. Checking whether important commands succeed or not, however ... [09:20] mhr: ahhh. I just saw the cd in main. I understand why the others say relatives paths are not an issue. Big mistake on my part. sorry [09:21] tje2: could you just get me the IP address of pastebin? [09:21] rufsketch1 .. I'm not 100% sure on this (I still do most of my Linux networking the manual way), but I believe that *all* of those GUI tools for network management are just front-ends that call stuff like ifconfig, iwconfig, and modify your resolv.conf [09:22] mhr: [11:05:28] actually the file after being downloaded should be there in the directory, but I can not see it. <--- check your "auto_SCP.sh" twice [09:22] tje2: ah. Well, this appears not to modify resolv.conf [09:22] mhr: Anyway, for the nth time, redirect stderr to the some file so we can see what error messages it gives [09:22] mhr: but as geirha said, better to use ssh-keys with forced commands [09:22] tje2: in any case I will get you the paste. Just a sec. Will have to ssh [09:22] rufsketch1 .. paste.ubuntu.com has address 91.189.90.174. If those tools *don't* modify your resolv.conf, then they're not actually causing your DNS settings to change. :) [09:22] OK, sure. [09:22] tje2: yeah, but my syslog claims they are [09:23] hmm, OK. [09:23] I'll have to see the details to really say anything further. [09:23] is ubuntu safe for the Volume boot record rootkit? === Kartrohm_afk is now known as Kartrohm [09:23] LorSamPau_w: Ok hold on there :D. I have found out how to do the partitions and stuff, can I just make one big partition for Ubuntu (using the whole hard drive) Do I need to specify where Grub is to be installed [09:23] tje2: nameserver 170.223.111.244 [09:23] Whats the process? [09:23] geirha, ok i am now getting error messages from cron. and it is while copying new files. [09:24] tje2: nameserver 170.223.111.252 [09:24] tje2: nameserver 170.223.111.244 [09:24] lotuspsychje: what do you mean by that? [09:24] err, in reverse order, because I can't enter two lines at once apparently [09:24] so possible auto_SCP script is not able to save the file is the directory through cron? [09:24] tje2: that is the full length of my resolv.conf. [09:25] ThinkT510:ive just read up new rootkit spreading, infecting the volume boot record (mbr) bypassing classic antivirus software [09:25] mhr: Hard to say without knowing what it tries to do exactly [09:25] rufsketch1 .. Can you ping either of those 2 IPs listed? It looks like you've got a proper config. [09:25] mhr: previous comments about environmental variables and relatives paths apply to auto_SCP.sh too === PrAsHaNt is now known as passi [09:25] BlueWolf: you have more than one hdd? [09:25] ThinkT510:so i was wondering if ubuntu would be safe for such infection... [09:26] how to uninstall draftsight ?? [09:26] rufsketch1 .. I bet if you commented those 2 out, and added one line stating "nameserver 8.8.8.8", save file, then you'll likely be good to go. [09:26] [09:26] krababbel: Yes, and I wnat to install Ubuntu 12.04 on a separate Hard Drive to the windows [09:26] lotuspsychje: never heard of it, i've never had a rootkit [09:26] tje2: pinging either gets no response [09:27] however, pinging 74.125.224.72 responds in the 100ms range [09:27] rufsketch1 .. Sounds like they're either unreachable, not running a DNS daemon, or you're being restricted (firewall and the like) from these servers. [09:27] ThinkT510:http://blog.eset.com/2011/10/18/tdl4-rebooted [09:27] lotuspsychje: the obvious question is how does it spread? [09:27] tje2: this is possible. Before continuing, I should explain the current setup. [09:27] I suspect if you comment those out (so it doesn't have to timeout waiting for them) and add that one "nameserver 8.8.8.8" line, you'll probably be alright. [09:28] tje2: okay, I will try that first [09:28] comment symbol for conf files is #, right? [09:28] lotuspsychje: you realize that article is a year old, right? [09:28] BlueWolf: when you partition the drive in setup, remember its name, like "sdb", then see that grub is installed to the same name, but not "sdb1", no numbers. "sdb1" is a partition on "sdb". grub installing on just "sdb" means it goes to the MBR of "sdb". Also in bios you should have the boot order boot from the ubuntu drive first after setup. [09:28] somsip geirha llutz : here is the expect script : http://pastebin.com/EeFYTNqR [09:28] lotuspsychje: as usual it looks windows specific [09:29] auto_SCP script http://pastebin.com/EeFYTNqR [09:29] rufsketch1, yeah, that'll work in that conf file. [09:29] ardchoille:i know but just readed another recent article, about it infected like 250.000 computers [09:29] tje2: your bet was a winner! [09:29] lotuspsychje: this really isn't a support issue [09:29] so, want to explain to me what's going on? [09:30] hi i am facing an issue with firefox error is "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." please any one have any idia [09:30] hi [09:30] rufsketch1 .. I'm guessing that you don't admin the boxes that are listed in your /etc/resolv.conf? [09:30] mhr: the interact at the end might be expecting a terminal [09:30] I don't know expect that well [09:30] lotuspsychje: the weakest link in the security chain of any computer is the user, it's always best to understand how a system works and follow advice given by veterans. [09:30] tje2: I do. However. I recently installed cisco vpn anyconnect [09:30] where can i get a better css script for "dwwww" [09:30] ? [09:30] I imagine perhaps it modified my resolv.cnf [09:30] and did not unmodify after uninstall [09:30] ThinkT510:just wondered about ubuntu's safety for specific intrusions like this [09:30] rufsketch1 .. Ahh, OK, I bet you can only reach those servers via the VPN, but UNTIL you establish the VPN tunnel, they're unreachable. [09:31] this is what I suspected [09:31] krababbel: Ok so do I just make one big partition on sdb (The whole drive) or should I physically make a swap partition? [09:31] thank you for your help! [09:31] is there a 'minimize all windows' command for ubuntu? like windowkey+d in win7 [09:31] rufsketch1 .. I'd leave the 8.8.8.8 (an open-resolving, free DNS server provided by Google) line FIRST, then uncomment the existing two lines BELOW it. [09:31] geirha, oh ok, i got the script from google. [09:31] No problemo. Take it easy. [09:31] lotuspsychje: how do you get infected with a rootkit? answer that question and you'll know whether or not you are vulnerable [09:31] mhr: Really really onsider using public key authentication instead. [09:31] tje2: okay. thank you! [09:31] *consider [09:31] mhr: go for ssh-keys, set PermitRootLogin=forced-commands-only , create a key without passphrase, modify it to just run the command you need for the copy and drop this sxpect.... [09:32] krababbel If he's running two hdd then should not the grub go to the windows mbr [09:32] iYour Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible. any one have solution for this [09:32] BlueWolf: swap partition should be the most easy setup, there are swap files too. you need a bit more swap than ram if you want to use hibernation. Unless you have a 20GB hdd here, just put a partition there, you won't notice it. :) [09:32] hi, How do I build a dbg package, or a debian package with dh_strip turned off ? [09:32] ok nvm ill search myself [09:33] Ray2: yes, that's why I wrote he should install grub to the same drive where ubuntu is. === MrHappy is now known as pancro [09:33] lotuspsychje: i have already told you the answer, as has ardchoille [09:33] does anybody use this - "Acer Aspire V5-571-6869" ? [09:33] any issues with ubuntu? [09:33] krababbel: Well the Hard Drive is a 120GB so should I put a Swap? What do I name it etc? [09:34] nm, found https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk3-engines-unico/+bug/920840 [09:34] Launchpad bug 920840 in gtk3-engines-unico (Ubuntu) "Recommend: build -dbg .deb" [Undecided,New] [09:34] mhr: your bash script is using a lot of bad practices btw. The kind of bad things you learn from the Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide. See /topic #bash for some better resources and help in writing more robust scripts. [09:36] BlueWolf: in setup you can partition and choose as filesystem swap, no name needed. You may shrink the windows partition and put a swap behind it on the windows hdd, if that one is bigger. Or just live with swap on 120GB space, I have windows7 and ubuntu on a 120GB with swap too. [09:36] BlueWolf: shrink the windows partition in windows, if you have windows7 it is easy [09:39] geirha, can you please point some, so that I can improve the script. [09:39] BlueWolf: I have 70GB windows, 30GB ubuntu, 16.5GB swap for ubuntu as I have 16GB RAM and use hibernation a lot. [09:39] BlueWolf: and ubuntu is basically empty, my media files are on my older big HDD. [09:40] mhr: point out some weaknesses of the script you mean? [09:40] krababbel: Ok Sorry I am battling to understand what to do or explain it, Give me a moment :) [09:41] no problem, I should've written all that in one piece [09:41] geirha, yeah. Some that i now got is to use absolute paths. [09:41] krababbel: http://www.basicconfig.com/files/content/manual_partition_ubuntu07.preview.png [09:41] mhr: That's not really good advice [09:42] krababbel: Should I do my partitioning similar to that? [09:42] mhr: Anyway /join #bash and I'll trigger some factoids for you [09:42] hi all [09:42] I'm setting up a LAMP server. This is my purposed set up: https://gist.github.com/3851707 Does anyone have any suggestions / improvements I should maybe consider? [09:43] BlueWolf: well just remove the partitions and create new ones in different sizes? Is that what you are asking? [09:43] what do you need? [09:43] gazzwi86 better ask in #ubuntu-server [09:44] krababbel: Um I think, Basically when I try install it's saying this - No root file system is defined - So what do I do? [09:44] BlueWolf: yes, just leave no free space :), also in that picture you would note that you'd install grub to "sda" [09:45] BlueWolf: the root filesystem is a partition with mount point "/". you need at least that one, and you should have a swap too. Some separate /home into another partition too. I don't bother. [09:46] monkey-dust: cheers [09:47] krababbel: Ok sorry to be annoying, Firstly Can I just use the whole free space for the Ubuntu install or must I make partitions or will ubuntu do it atamatically? And how would I install grub to the sda? [09:48] BlueWolf load the live cd, us gparted to create partitions, the installer formats them [09:50] BlueWolf, http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2012/07/23/dual-boot-ubuntu-12-04-and-windows-7-on-a-computer-with-2-hard-drives/ [09:50] BlueWolf: Installing grub is a late step, it presents you a suggested path like "/dev/sda" I think. If you set bios to boot from the second HDD first before setup, you shouldn't have to change anything, it should autodetect fine. In any case, installing grub to the wrong drive is always fixable. [09:51] MonkeyDust: Do I have to manually partition the Ubuntu partitions or will it do it atomatically? [09:51] BlueWolf: setup can do it automatically too [09:52] don't know how it looks for hibernation compatibility and uses enough swap even with a lot of ram, but you can resize later too [09:52] [09:52] BlueWolf my advice : do it manually, so you know what it is and what happens -- partitioning is the hardest part, it kept me from using linux years ago [09:52] krababbel: Ok so I just get rid of the free space by making one big partition and then let Ubuntu do the rest? :) [09:53] 我看到了中式英语。。呵呵 [09:53] !cn [09:53] 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [09:54] BlueWolf: I'd do it manually, you can do it from within setup too, if you choose manual partitioning. automatic can either delete all partitions, or reuse existing ones, depending on what you select. [09:54] MonkeyDust: Sorry I am just struggling to understand How and what to do, a break in communication. It just seems that 10.04 is easier to install than 12.04? [09:54] BlueWolf: or maybe try installing ubuntu in windows in Virtualbox first, to see how it works. [09:54] BlueWolf, Check the link I sent you it is a graphical how to [09:54] BlueWolf: it's not any easier or harder [09:55] guys, i've a file on desktop but i cant edit it (it says im not owner of it). how do ic hanges its permissions to let me edit it [09:55] BlueWolf no, the installer is the same, it's the number of partitions that makes it look hard, i advice a separate /home === morphis is now known as morphis-away [09:56] krababbel: MonkeyDust: http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2012/07/23/dual-boot-ubuntu-12-04-and-windows-7-on-a-computer-with-2-hard-drives/ [09:56] hehe [09:56] krababbel: MonkeyDust: Thats where I am the bottom picture [09:56] the last one [09:57] BlueWolf: so there you have all you need in one screen then [09:58] krababbel: MonkeyDust: Ok so do I just click add then after that install? [09:58] it looks to me, the illustration makes it more complicated than it is [09:59] BlueWolf: yes, the boot loader option at the bottom is the grub location [10:00] Do you want to know about ISLAM, [10:00] the fastest growing religion in the World ? [10:00] If yes, please write to me or visit this site : [10:00] http://www.islamhouse.com/    [10:00] http://www.why-islam.com/   [10:00] abmares: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:00] BlueWolf: so i guess your 120GB is called sdb. I'd install grub to sdb and set bios to boot from that drive too. So you don't overwrite the windows boot loader on sda [10:00] How do i recursively copy content of a directory including hidden files like .htaccess and .git etc. to another directory? cp * -R target dest does not copy the .files [10:01] abmares: go back the the islam channel you belong to, im not interested in religion im here for ubuntu [10:01] krababbel: MonkeyDust: Ok so I just continue with the installation and leave the device for boot loader installation on sdb not sda? [10:01] which is the most stable version of wine? [10:02] hey, i have a bit of trouble with amarok and pulse. I can't get any sound out of it, likely because it tries to send the output to the HDMI instead of the normal ac97. I configure it otherwise but everytime i open up the dialog it changed back [10:02] BlueWolf: what are sda and sdb? which drives? [10:02] abmares: hey, this is not a place for that [10:03] and now he pms me... really want the face stabbing over ipv4 now [10:03] [10:03] krababbel: sda - Windows 7 (which is installed) - sdb - Where I want Ubuntu 12.04 to go [10:03] BlueWolf: ok then use sdb, yes [10:03] Any advice? [10:03] [10:03] krababbel: For the boot loader right? [10:03] :) [10:04] yes :) [10:04] www.goo.gl/6JzgL MOther in the dream welcome! [10:04] BlueWolf: just don't forget to setup bios to boot from that drive first too [10:04] or you won't see ubuntu after reboot [10:05] krababbel: Ok and as for the free space of 120GB I can just use it all? Where does 10.04 put the boot installation on a dual boot? [10:05] krababbel: " just don't forget to setup bios to boot from that drive first too" How? [10:06] in the bios settings when you first power up [10:06] krababbel: What if I set the boot installation on sda, what will happen? [10:07] BlueWolf: it will overwrite the boot loader of windows, no concern for you actually, also you won't need to setup bios [10:07] hi! how do i get xorg.conf? [10:08] i want to save configuratioin info of X server and save it to file [10:08] BlueWolf: each drive has its own space for one boot loader, the MBR. [10:08] !xorgconf| leotr [10:08] leotr: The /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is deprecated, but sometimes may still be needed to pass values to specific drivers. Generic xorg.conf generation: http://ubottu.com/y/xorgconf - ATI/AMD ( fglrx driver ) specific: http://ubottu.com/y/atiamd - NVidia ( nvidia driver )specific: http://ubottu.com/y/nvidia man xorg.conf for file structure and syntax. [10:08] krababbel: So why is it a problem to do it over the windows boot loader, will it affect windows in anyway? [10:08] leotr: ubuntu doesnt have a xorg.conf by default [10:09] i know, but i want to create it [10:09] it's important for me [10:09] BlueWolf: not really, if you choose sdb, you'd have the sda bootloader a backup, in case you break grub on sdb [10:10] *as backup. if you choose sda, grub will detect windows and add a menu item so you can boot windows too instead of ubuntu [10:10] bluewolf if you have been booting 10.04 and windows..I would set the bootloader to sda [10:11] Hey I've got a load of files shared via NFS but I'm sick of poor NFS performance and how Ubuntu has no out of box support for it so I'm switching to Samba. The only issue is lots of my files/dirs have what smb/fat consider "illegal characters" like slashes and colons - any script I can use to on-mass detect and rename them? (were talking thousands of files) === morphis-away is now known as morphis [10:11] lantizia_ better ask in #bash [10:12] krababbel: Ok look I am used to installing dual boots with Ubuntu 10.04 and windows 7. And it has worked fine for me so far, can I just install the boot loader on sda like Ray2 suggests? [10:12] BlueWolf: I'd say yes [10:12] lantizia_: use the "rename" script; it uses regex [10:12] ive never heard of nfsbeing worse than samba. reformance wise [10:13] jrib, you realise I'm talking of hundreds of thousands of files right? [10:13] lantizia_: rename and find [10:13] krababbel: Ok let me go and give this all a try, I shull return if I blow up my computer! :D [10:13] How do I manually add a dns server? resolv.conf says not to edit manually...

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [10:14] lantizia_: We use NFS without issue, and the performance is much better than samba.

When I click on the free space then Add what do I do after that? :( [10:21] I've been googling it for ages and haven't found a fix, but I've just read that an application that does not like [10:21] forced mouse warping includes the mouse pointer elastically returning to the middle of the screen [10:22] Is this true, and if so, is there any way to fix it so my mouse will hide when running some applications? [10:22] what's forced mouse warping? [10:23] SilvereX: unclutter will hide your mouse pointer but I don't understand what you said before that [10:23] jrib: When running some applications (specifically Far Cry 2) my desktop cursor stays in the middle of the screen [10:24] When I move the mouse the cursor moves for a little bit before returning to the center of the screen [10:24] The in game cursor works fine [10:24] SilvereX: in wine? [10:24] oh, games [10:24] jrib: Yeah. I've been asking about it in #wine and so far have no responses [10:25] SilvereX: does it happen outside of wine? Like watching a full screen movie for example?

I migrated from windows and I generally did not need anything other than .net or directx... [10:47] ElixirVitae: windows apps usually ship with their dependencies [10:47] Whereas in linux many programs necessitates numerous dependencies [10:48] I followed all steps in the troubleshooting page from ubottu and also the ASLA page recommended there. All commands followed thru until sudo apt-get install linux-alsa-driver-modules-$(uname -r) [10:48] ElixirVitae: and if you stick with the repos the user rarely has to mess with dependencies [10:48] I used apt up till now, but read that synaptic or aptitude are great alternatives [10:48] the sound recorder can apparently open the files [10:48] but I can't get it to convert them [10:49] ElixirVitae: avoid aptitude [10:49] !aptitude | ElixirVitae [10:49] ElixirVitae: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT.

[11:14] Does Ubuntu have a firewall GUI with the default installation ? [11:14] !ufw | jdw [11:14] jdw: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. [11:15] jdw: not by default i think [11:16] hey! [11:17] I see. I wonder why there isn't one yet. Security should be top priority I think [11:17] krakenlaken: What does `lspci | grep Audio` say? [11:18] I think, lspci is for displaying all your material [11:18] at least a decent user-friendly way to manange the firewall. Isn't Ubuntu all about user-friendliness ?

I can't see one listed... :/ [11:24] JoFo: You'll need to install addons for each account as they're stored in the firefox profile. [11:24] farrioth: Yes. It's integrated A8N-SLI card. It used to be one the best boards around some years ago. Plus the audio worked fine until today. Installed Ubuntu just a week ago.

[11:28] ThinkT510: will do [11:28] yebs: what about ubuntustudio? [11:28] is there anyway to do an install of ubuntu that will not add other installs to grub. I am installing to SD card and want it to not list the HD on the computer or transffer grub to it [11:28] faster but poor............ [11:29] i install to laptop hd [11:29] krakenlaken: Thanks, I'll look into it... [11:29] satellit_e: you can choose NOT to install grub during install [11:30] ThinkT510: that page doesn't load well on a netbook, can barely see the search box, possible brainstorm idea? xD [11:30] I am using elementary jupiter Ubuntu 10.10 [11:30] 10.10 is dead [11:30] how will SD boot then if no grub on it? [11:31] my laptop is acer aspire 4730z with linux ubuntu studio os [11:31] first time use linux........... [11:31] satellit_e first upgrade to a release that is not !eol, then ask again [11:31] Malaysia............. [11:31] farrioth: Is there any way to nuke every setting ever made to default in the Ubuntu installation? I have no data or preferences set and only a minor number of programs installed? Or is the only way to format the disk and reinstall? [11:32] krakenlaken: Do you still have an install with working sound? The output of lsmod might be helpful. [11:32] Hello i think i am having some problems with my NFS connection on my Qnap NAS, i have a lot of guest os's running on Esxi and sometimes they are loosing the connection to their Virtual Disk, causes them to freeze, any idea where i start troubleshooting? so far i have been unable to find anything. [11:32] yebs ask in #ubuntustudio [11:32] farrioth: No...I formated the windows I had and installed Ubuntu 12.04 from a usb stick. [11:32] waiting for elementary luna to get out of beta (Ubuntu 12.04) it has same problem - I just installed it also [11:33] to SD 64 GB class 10 [11:33] farrioth: Ill post the lsmod now [11:33] krakenlaken: Getting rid of dotfiles in your home should do most of that, but won't revert changes made by installing packages etc. [11:33] krakenlaken: Did you have working sound on linux before? [11:34] MonkeyDust: only way to fix is to remove laptop HD [11:34] satellit_e to fix what? [11:34] avoid grub collecting and moving HD to Sd card [11:35] grub listing [11:35] ThinkT510: there's been an idea since almost 4 years now http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/1282/ [11:35] farrioth: http://pastebin.com/5ZMKGANh - I never had linux before on this machine, but as I said I had audio since installation. Dunno what I updated or what command did this horrible complication.. [11:35] farrioth: should I delete every .file in home and hope for the best? :-) [11:37] jdw: last comment in 2010, make a new idea [11:37] krakenlaken: Don't delete the files yet. So you had audio working on Ubuntu until it suddenly stopped? [11:37] will do [11:37] farrioth: Yes. I installed the restricted pack for flash and stuff and all worked. === cakill is now known as t3r5354t [11:38] hi [11:38] is there a way to make separate grub entry on SD card on Ubuntu 12.04 without moving laptop Hard Disk grub to it also? [11:38] krakenlaken: Run alsamixer and check all the channels are unmuted. [11:39] farrioth: Today I started and no audio. Alsamixer shows 'no file or directory'. I tried uninstalling PulseAudio like some guide, then reinstalling, then alsa base purging and reinstalling...drove me mad [11:39] hi, how can I remove the on screen keyboard from the login screen of 12.10? [11:40] xrfang: #ubuntu+1 [11:40] !ubuntu+1|xrfang: [11:40] xrfang:: Quantal Quetzal is the codename for Ubuntu 12.10 - Support only in #ubuntu+1 [11:40] ok [11:40] farrioth: Alsamixer command says 'no such file or directory'. Said so from beginning ^_^. The alsa utils are installed though. [11:41] krakenlaken: (I wasn't in #ubuntu at the beginning.) I'm out of thoughts, except to perhaps look at apt logs and work out which packages were changed around the time sound broke. [11:41] hello guys, Can anyone tell me which version ( 10.{04,10}, 11.{04,10}, 12.04 ) is best in Ubuntu. My problem is its getting hung when i am using ( chromium , thunderbird , skype & xchat) i am using 12.04 [11:42] krakenlaken: I'd like to help more, but it's past midnight and I must be getting some sleep. Best of luck. [11:42] sasuke: 12.10 is due outsoon [11:42] farrioth: O yes forgot sorry. Well, then thanks for the time you spent trying to help me! [11:42] sasuke: LTS all the way [11:43] i never limit myself to just lst. ;-) [11:43] sasuke: details of whats hanging may point to a fix. [11:43] krakenlaken: my sound isn't working either, do you still have a volume icon on your taskbar? [11:44] sasuke the latest ubuntu is 12.04, 12.10 will soon be released [11:44] ecclesiastes: it disappeared but it came back on after some long-ass command in terminal. It didn't bring back sound though.. [11:45] ooooo.............. [11:45] dr_willis, due to high memory because of chromium & thunderbird [11:45] testing............... [11:45] sasuke: and your system specs are? [11:46] MonkeyDust, i found 10.10 is working best in my laptop [11:46] hello [11:46] sasuke 10.10 is no longer supported [11:46] dr_willis, core 2 duo, 4GB ram, 320 hd [11:46] i have little problem with installation ... however i have set my network manually the installer still says that there's not accssible internet: http://susepaste.org/view/raw/53689267 [11:47] what can i do in order to fix that ? [11:48] mnice: Set up the network via network manager instead. That is, via the icon in the upper right corner [11:48] MonkeyDust, not always, but most of the time its hunging when i am using chromium , thunderbird & skype. Once i rebooted it will work... even virtual-consoles is not working [11:49] I have russian characters in my shell showing up as question marks. I just installed the russian locale files but still nothing. Is there a one liner that can make me see the cyrillic characters without wrecking my lang=EN setup in the process? [11:49] sasuke try upgrading to a supported release, it may solve a lot of the technical issues [11:49] geirha: hmm .. thanks [11:50] x [11:50] sasuke or report a !bug in launchpad === YDdraigGoch is now known as WelshDragon [11:52] Pici: /mode #ubuntu +b *!*@nl4x.mullvad.net$##fix_your_connection [11:53] or that, I guess :s [11:54] MonkeyDust, my sistem is uptodate. is there any solution that i can remove dashboard and get the old menu bar [11:54] now you can /mode -r [11:54] !10.10 | sasuke [11:54] sasuke: Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) was the thirteenth release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on April 10th, 2012, see http://ubottu.com/y/maverick for details. [11:54] MonkeyDust, i want to reduce the effects & graphics [11:55] sasuke don't use compiz, reduce resources in gconf, if you're using fallback/classic [11:55] lubuntu uses less resources sasuke it may help [11:55] hi - any syslog/syslog-ng webfrontend solution you guys could recommend? background: i want to setup some central syslog/syslog-ng server/source for my network but am pretty sure its only useable for all users if there is a gui/frontend. any recommandations? in particular: anyone working with logzilla(free-part)? [11:56] but i wonder if it really is a ram issue. [11:56] MonkeyDust, i didnt install compiz.. === Onixs_ is now known as Onixs [11:56] sasuke: unity uses compiz [11:56] sasuke then use xfce or lxde, it's a lot lighter [11:57] unity2d does not use compiz [11:57] dr_willis, ok [12:00] hi poeple... I changed my language settings in KDE from german to english... the problem is: gnome/gtk programs are still in german. Does anyone know how to change that? ( I have only installed KDE interface) [12:00] geirha: ```echo "manual" | sudo tee /etc/init/network-manager.override''' is this valid method for disabling NM ans sticking with etc/network/interfaces ? [12:01] fidel_: just out of couriosity: why should "all users" read system-logs? that's admins job [12:01] llutz: sorry - all admins is what i ment with 'all' [12:02] fidel_: ah ok, but sorry that i cannot help you [12:02] llutz: np ;) [12:02] mnice: I don't know. It's a live session, so try it and see I guess. [12:03] i wish ubuntu didn't insist on making a user during installation [12:03] catphish_: since they disabled root-account, they need to create one [12:03] catphish_ how would you use it without a user? [12:04] MonkeyDust, thankq. i found that lxde is uses less cpu and less ram than other environments [12:04] i'm ssh'd into a machine without x11 forwarding. is there a simple way to take a screenshot of the active desktop and save it somewhere? [12:04] my pleasure sasuke [12:07] WHAT_UP: "import" might help [12:07] the process of logging in as the user, setting root's password, logging in as root, deleteing the user is a bit of a pain [12:07] llutz: i saw that, but i don't know how to get the currently active desktop if i can't forward x [12:07] catphish_: .. and not the supposed way to use it [12:08] catphish_: you are never meant to be root all the time [12:08] llutz: having a single user created might be useful for new users, but not for people who have more complicated configurations [12:08] catphish_: sry that't nonsense [12:08] catphish_: that is not supposed to be the ubuntu way [12:09] llutz: how so? [12:09] catphish_: you are talking rubbish [12:09] llutz: hmm. i think i got it, but the screen is locked. no easy way of seeing what's under the unlocked screen, i'm guessing? [12:09] why is a single user that i need to delete helpful? [12:09] catphish_: if your setup bases on an active root accoutn, you shoudl rethink your setup [12:09] catphish_: why would you need a only root user system? [12:10] catphish_: root is for administrating task, not for the daily work. so you always need a user (except embedded systems maybe) [12:10] catphish_ maybe you could use something that suits you more, so not ubuntu [12:10] k1l_: what about people who wish to use nis, or those (like me) who have automated scripts to create and maintain their user accounts [12:11] catphish_ or submit a constructive idea in !brainstorm [12:11] catphish_: where in that setup does the created user disturb your workflow? you can easily use sudo [12:12] llutz: 2 reasons, firstly, the automatically created user is likely to conflict in UID with my existing users and 2, deleteing the user is an extra step [12:12] i just find it odd that the user is a compulsary rather than optional step [12:12] window split [12:12] sorry [12:13] catphish_: it is mandatory because you need a user to use the system properly (root is never intended for everyday tasks) [12:13] catphish_ do you have an expample of a system where a user is not compulsary? [12:13] ThinkT510: logging in initially to install a management daemon or configure an authentication service is hardly an everyday task [12:14] catphish_: i'd use debian then if you don't like this "sudo instead of root construct" , which is essential for ubuntu [12:14] ola [12:14] catphish_: and you can't do that from a regular user? [12:14] llutz, enabling root in ubuntu is just matter of giving root a password [12:14] catphish_: if you dont like the ubuntu way (sudo) than dont use ubuntu. thats it [12:14] crizis: thats not the point [12:15] ThinkT510: no, because the regular user likely to have a UID conflict with new users [12:15] llutz: awesome, got it working. had to "export DISPLAY=:0; gnome-screensaver-command-d; import -display :0 -window root blah.png" =) [12:15] catphish_: honestly, that is just a matter of your scripts :/ [12:16] geirha: i've just successfully installed buntu and found something what i consider as serious fails .. is worth to report my opinion that selecting default disk partitioning layout should separate /home from / ? [12:16] what it actually did not [12:17] k1l: the point is that in this case, and many other large scale installations, an initial user is an unnecessary headache, and moreover it can (though i realise this is my own fault) be a security risk if forgotten about [12:17] hi guys [12:18] and the model is broken by the fact that the user can't perform the administrative task of deleting itself :) [12:18] mnice: The default has always been to create two partitions. / and a swap [12:18] i need some geek or savvy to help me with ubunut :( [12:18] anyway, just my opinion [12:18] catphish_: that breaks down to: ubuntu is the wrong distro for your task. [12:19] llutz: not really true, it works very well for everything else :) [12:19] catphish_: what's wrong with having an initial user? [12:19] gordonjcp: read up [12:19] catphish_: I read up, I saw vague references to it being a "risk" [12:20] geirha: and it's wrong in my opinion [12:20] catphish_: which doesn't really make any sense [12:20] geirha: default should separate /home from / [12:20] catphish_: if you don't have an initial user, how do you connect to your servers? [12:21] gordonjcp: i was commenting that in my environment it's not helpful, as i only have to delete it before i can create my normal users [12:21] catphish_: why not just create the initial user as one of your normal users, possibly you? [12:21] gordonjcp: a more normal flow for me is to configure authentication initial authentication as root [12:21] catphish_: you're going to need a wheel user anyway [12:21] ah [12:21] catphish_: but you don't actually allow login as root, right? [12:21] hi. i'm trying to follow this tutorial http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1930450 i have uninstalled everything that had ati/fglrx on its name through the software center, i have a AMD 6770m card that is an intel/amd hybrid, and i want to know if there's anything else i should install/uninstall before following the instructions [12:22] mnice: Not that big a deal in my opinion, but it might be useful to have an option for it in the installer [12:22] gordonjcp: not once the system is configured, i have a daemon that manages my users and config files, once its running it disabled ssh root login, though i still like to have a root poassword for console login [12:22] catphish_: erk [12:22] you seriously set a root password? [12:22] i do for console access, yes [12:23] catphish_: I tend to work on the assumption that if I see a Linux machine with a valid root password, it's been cracked [12:23] unless I'm *certain* it hasn't been [12:23] if i see a machine with root enabled for ssh i worry :) [12:23] passwd should be patched to dd /dev/zero over all the disks on a machine if it has a password set for root [12:24] lol [12:24] hey guys... I formatted my partition table to GPT (I was trying to do something - but it doesn't matter now) - and now I can't get Ubuntu booted even from a memory stick - it keeps giving me a "Machine Check Error" and catches in a reboot loop. Can anybody help? [12:24] that'll soon teach people to stop doing that retarded stuff [12:24] the problem i have with the initial user is that it can conflict with the UID of imported users, and also i need to remember to delete it [12:25] an initial user with a password and wheel and ssh access is equally insecure to a root password with ssh access [12:25] Monotoko: unplug the hard disk, see if the fault persists [12:25] the only difference is that my initial user tends to get an insecure password because i intend to delete it shortly afterwards [12:25] catphish_: your usecase is not that of a typical ubuntu user [12:26] catphish_: no, because any time they sudo it is logged [12:26] k1l: that may be true [12:26] root accounts need to die [12:26] logging isn't much use once they've got root [12:26] catphish_: so i dont see the point why you demand that feature. that will only confuse the typical ubuntu user [12:26] catphish_: uh, that's why you are careful about how you configure sudo... [12:26] demand isn't a very nice word [12:26] i just wanted to discuss it [12:27] catphish_: most distros create an initial user these days [12:27] it makes more sense that way [12:27] and to point out that it doesn't meet the needs of larger users [12:27] catphish_: yes. but as you ahve mentioned this is a very special usecase [12:27] catphish_ discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic, this is the support channel, to find solutions for problems [12:27] catphish_: "larger users" can remove the initial user, like you used to [12:28] yes [12:28] so the only problem is your "lazyness" or your "forgetfullness" [12:29] ?join #ubuntu-offtopic [12:29] hey guys... I formatted my partition table to GPT (I was trying to do something - but it doesn't matter now) - and now I can't get Ubuntu booted even from a memory stick - it keeps giving me a "Machine Check Error" and catches in a reboot loop.

[12:33] hi all, i have a short question, how can i see the capacity of a non mounted hdd? [12:33] satellit_e, hmmm il try that [12:34] yeah pretty sure it's unetbootin that's having the issue [12:34] how do I do it manually? [12:37] you can dd or otherways image the iso directly to flash [12:37] pendrivelinux has numerous other tools aand ways to do it also [12:37] Hey guys, easiest method for MS login authentication? Radius or Kerberos? Unix server running website, no Samba required. Website has local logins. Unix Server required to auth console and ssh against MS servers. [12:38] pendrivelinux is a web site. ;) [12:39] hi [12:39] hello' [12:40] dr_willis :can you please help me [12:40] depends on the issue. ;) === jgrubb is now known as grubb [12:40] Nunnsby: direct ldap connection?

[12:41] dir_willis:i have got stucted while using dd command in my ubuntu 12.04 i have got a lot bigger size hdd that the original one .then how can i manage that extra space [12:41] What's the recommended MTA for an Ubuntu mail server? exim? postfix? [12:42] vivek-tomar__: use gparted to rezise and expand [12:42] kaste: using radius for all the network kit already, thought it might work for the server, but see there is more support for ldap and kerberos, but kerberos appears more to be about network and other access, not just authentication [12:42] dr_willis: i mean before executing command i want to know where this place be get adjusted by dd command [12:43] vivek-tomar__: dd dosent adjust. it images the whole thine unless you tell it to only do part of a hd/specific size. [12:44] vivek-tomar__: you may want to use clonezilla to move a smaller hd to a bigger one === matt is now known as Guest1838 [12:46] dr_wilis: ok got the point dd images the whole thine ... now i restore that image to other hdd which is lot bigger... now what about the extra space ... last question please [12:47] vivek-tomar__: dd to the new hd. use gparted from a live cd to resize [12:47] either expand the partition, or just make new one to use as some data partitions. [12:48] dr_willis : ok that extra space will remain there as unformatted. [12:48] dr_willis: that's the point right ? [12:49] vivek-tomar__: err.. not if you tell gparted to put it in the other filesystem [12:50] example ussage case. i have a 8gb install on a usb flash. i clone it to a 500gb hd. i have 400+ gb at the end of the hd... i use gparted to partition that and use it as /home/ [12:50] OR i could have gparted expand the 8gb on the hd. into the 400gb.. and have the whole hd used for / [12:50] hmm .. another question: can I somehow increase the threshold for dragging windows by border ? it's very tiny right now and i need to try very hard to grab the border for resizing window [12:51] ok great thanks a lot [12:51] Is there a way to know which packages are in the server CD without actually installing it? Is it listed somewhere online? [12:51] dr_willis : thanks [12:52] Alright, just set up a server for someone, this is my first not-for-me server set up. We don [12:52] imgx64: ive noticed the distrowatch site list versions of specific packagees per distro for comparison. in a nice table [12:52] dr_willis: Thanks, I'll check. [12:52] but you want to know what all comes installed by 'default' you mean? [12:52] 't want to "turn the safety off" completely but we want this user to be able to set up new users, run sudo apt-get upgrade and sudo apt-get install for new stuff, chgrp, chmod [12:53] I'm looking at documentation for visudo but wanted to check with you guys if this makes sense [12:53] It doesn't really [12:53] Or how you guys handle this [12:53] kaste: are you responding to me? [12:54] Hello all [12:54] VinceBrowning: greetings [12:54] i am trying to use hostapd with an rtl8187 card i configured the driver to be rtl8187 in the hostapd.conf but i get an error that its an invalid driver [12:54] if you can chmod and chgrp the first attack vector is a self built suid binary which allows you to do just about anything [12:55] kaste: is there best practice "rule" to do what I'm trying to do? [12:55] Nunnsby: i think you will want to setup samba with ldap and kerberos for what you are after [12:55] They wanted me to set up a Java app server for them [12:55] kaste: cool, thanks, I'll check it out. [12:55] It's set up, but we want them to be able to maintain this server themselves [12:55] dr_willis: I just checked the Ubuntu page (http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=ubuntu ), and it only compares different releases, nothing about the server CD. [12:55] fusion27: i don't know your situation but i doubt there is a really safe way [12:56] dr_willis: Yes, I want to know the default packages installed. [12:56] depends on your degree of trust and distrust [12:56] kaste: we can turn on admin rights for them, they're paying for the server, if they mess it up, it's their server that gets hosed [12:56] if you set it up for them i'd say you are afraid of them cluelessly destroying their own server, then give them root and backup carefully (maybe even with imaging) [12:58] i mean you can also give them the other protection, since they are unlikely to want to hack it, it isn't too bad of an idea. you probably want to give them sudo rights on all the commands you allow them [12:58] instead of chmod and chgrp it'd be better to work with the sticky bits if that is possible [12:59] Can anyone tell me a good place to start learning how to start and configure a server (with multiple services) and how to properly secure it? I've been an open source supporter my whole life but I am new to servers and network security and not even close to being an advanced linux user.. [12:59] VinceBrowning: which ones? That's a big topic [13:00] ciao [13:01] Well, I want to set up a server to host a small website for myself and a few friends that will allow us to communicate and share files, and keep the small group informed of events [13:01] !list [13:01] pinosb: No warez here!

If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [13:01] Sounds like web server only VinceBrowning, any decent apache tutorial should do [13:02] VinceBrowning better ask in #ubuntu-server [13:02] alright.. Thank you.

This includes swap space. The easiest way to accomplish this is to run the live cd. Parted is installed on the base Ubuntu system. Once at the desktop, open a terminal and run_: [13:14] Now, im not certain if this statement only applies to gparted [13:14] Lesterwood, use the gmparted live iso. it cantains testdisk also, drives must be unmounted, yes. [13:14] i see [13:14] or gparted live iso [13:14] well, i have a linux 11.04 livedisk [13:15] this will work correct?

[13:24] any one has idea about using GEM5 with ubuntu [13:25] which application should i download from software centre to make bootable pen drives [13:26] PaSsI: I use USB Creator, as far as U remember, it should be installed by default [13:26] PaSsI, no need to download anything, included already (search for 'startup disk creator' [13:26] PaSsI, http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu [13:26] crizis, thanks [13:27] DJones, thanks got that too [13:27] PaSsI, you should have usb-creator , or use unetbootin win/mac/linux === jgrubb is now known as grubb [13:29] hi all, can anyone tell me what black CPU bars mean on htop?

[13:37] resolved, figured out how to get testdisk [13:38] ok ArcaneWater , I recommend you make a ext4 partition for ubuntu first , then install ubuntu to that , you can do so with gparted live cd / media [13:38] ok guys, i have reached a menu asking what partition table type === nik0 is now known as niko [13:38] the options are intel, efi, ...

[13:43] ezel don't say to use google, when people ask help, please [13:43] ardchoille, yes [13:43] PaSsI: what is that? [13:43] ArcaneWater, boot repair only works on grub after you install ubuntu...grub will only install with ubuntu [13:44] at my LAB pc the promt is talpur@talpur-OptiPlex-380 ....and on my laptop not sure the exact now but prompt is instead of optiplex written inspiration..I am new on ubuntu [13:44] i want to install win7 for a few period of time and i have the image file (.iso) and i want to make a bootable pendrive of it [13:45] PaSsI: I'm sorry, I could be wrong, but that sounds like piracy to me [13:45] PaSsI better ask in ##windows [13:45] BluesKaj so any other way thath i can fix thath problem with w7 detection?

[13:47] MonkeyDust, but i want to make a bootable pendrive from ubuntu [13:47] ardchoille, i want to try it for 30 days [13:47] at my lab PC shows talpur-OptiPlex-380....my laptop is in room I will check [13:47] PaSsI the use unetbootin from ubuntu, it's in the software center [13:48] when I write hostname ThinkT510 [13:48] MonkeyDust, thanks a ton [13:48] PaSsI: sorry, I can't help with Windows as I haven't used it in ten years [13:49] ardchoille, its okey friend [13:49] arcne , if you have a free space partition already setup then format the free space to ext4 , also create a swapfile equal to or larger than your RAM [13:49] ArcaneWater,^ [13:49] ThinkT510...I am asking b/c I am working with GEM5 so I was confused i do some work at both systems on differnt timings so if I sychronize ..may they do some problem [13:50] talpu271: no idea what gem5 is [13:50] MonkeyDust, its only for installing linux destros [13:50] BluesKaj and then format this this 8gb partiatin to swap or what? [13:50] GEM? last time i saw it was in the mid 1980ies on an AtariST .. [13:50] PaSsI maybe what you want is not possible, windows7.iso sounds very strange, for a start [13:51] PaSsI maybe you have to unpack the iso and then install [13:51] PaSsI: maybe ##windows would have good suggestions on how to make a win7 usb [13:52] ThinkT510 ....But do you think if I build some programs on different systems ,,will they be sychronized when I combined them if there development tool is same [13:52] ArcaneWater, if you have 8G RAM then 8G swap (for hibernation) .place iot at the end of the partition table ..how large is your ext partition for ubuntu ? [13:52] but the ubuntu host are change [13:52] talpu271: combined them? [13:53] talpu271: you making a cluster?

[15:01] Arcanewater: did you install manually, using the "Install alongside previous OS" option, or Wubi [15:01] nope i choosed do somthing esle cause my os was not detected [15:02] chinneseproduct: have you done "sudo apt-get update" recently? [15:02] Oh... Well, in that case you'll need to edit GRUB by hand. [15:02] One sec, let me find a guide. [15:02] yes [15:02] Which version of Windows are you using, Arcanewater ? [15:02] yes gordonjcp [15:02] Seednode windows 7 [15:02] MonkeyDust: Does compiz work with ubuntu 12.04 because I remember that it clashed with Unity when I use 11.04 [15:02] my system is upto date [15:02] Strange, it should have been automatically detected. [15:03] BlueWolf unity is gnome3 with compiz, so yes [15:03] No wonder Unity has problems. [15:04] no wonder i don't use it ;) [15:04] MonkeyDust, I've never used it for more than an hour or so, while helping others. [15:04] Seednode hmm what to do now .D? [15:04] I'm running Arch/Win7 [15:04] Arcanewater: Right, sorry, let me grab the guide. Internet's being slow.

[15:08] i was trying to install liblzmas5 of ubuntu 12.10 on ubuntu 12.04 [15:09] emamdouh: then get the depends it needs and continue to wreck your system [15:10] emamdouh, use dpkg [15:10] gfdfdfr: yeah [15:10] emamdouh: expect unforeseen consequences.

But with os-prober happens nothing [15:13] theadmin: guess I assumed .deb package ... === TheLordOfTime is now known as TLoT [15:15] Question about uptime as a monitoring tool... If I've got an 8 cores (1 cpu) system, how can I know if the system is under load? I'm seeing with top something like 20-30% load on each core more/less [15:16] or is uptime obsolete.... how do I read the results? [15:16] Arcanewater, Did you remove any windows partitions, or resize windows with this install? [15:17] my current reading is 11:15:17 up 33 days, 21:46, 3 users, load average: 1.18, 0.82, 1.02 [15:17] Hey [15:17] Arcanewater, kubuntu.com/questions/155492/why-cannot-ubuntu-12-04-detect-windows-7-dual-boot [15:18] alien2050: which ubuntu release are you running? [15:18] wilee-nilee Nope just D disc resezed for 8GB to create swap. Adn chose to install mbr on /dev/sda [15:18] 11.10 [15:19] Arcanewater, This is Linux partitions do not have letters. Is sda the HD where your Ubuntu partition is installed? [15:20] Hello, sorry to just burst in with a question, but I'm having an issue with svn on my VirtualBox ubuntu system. It has to do with permissions, and I was wondering if there's anybody with a little time to help me out? [15:20] alien2050: you should check for a kernel update [15:20] wilee-nilee No sda4 is ubuntu and sda2 is windows [15:21] huh? [15:21] Aidiakapi: just ask the actual question [15:21] Arcanewater: yes, so its the same disk [15:21] why.... my question is about uptime.... [15:21] Well, I cannot commit to the repository, because for some reason SVN doesn't have access to it :/ [15:21] alien2050: if your uptime is 33 days you've likely missed the USN-1578-1 kernel security update [15:22] The owner of the repository is www-data (I'm pushing through apache) and the group is svn, my user group where all users with access are in [15:22] ThinkT510 wilee-nilee Yes it's the same disc [15:22] alien2050, i'd agree with ardchoille, if you're missing that kernel update, you've got a security hole in your kernel [15:22] Arcanewater, Cool install this app in ubuntu and run the create bootinfo summary only and post the URL to it. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair === Guest90070 is now known as mattkruse [15:22] when I chmod the folder to allow everyone full access, it's working properly [15:22] alien2050: updates trump uptime :) [15:22] Aidiakapi: please ask in one line (don't use enter as punctuation) [15:23] Arcanewater, THis script will give us a lot more info to work with including boot files and the mbr [15:23] ardchoille, specifically, security updates trump uptime [15:23] :P [15:23] TLoT: indeed [15:23] oops! Then I'll do the update! But it still doesn't answer my question.... how to read uptime properly ;) [15:23] Well, I cannot commit to the repository, because for some reason SVN doesn't have access to it :/. The owner of the repository is www-data (I'm pushing through apache) and the group is svn, my user group where all users with access are in. When I chmod the folder to allow everyone full access, it's working properly. [15:24] alien2050: type uptime in a terminal [15:24] alien2050, manpages. for the lazy: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=65043 [15:24] alien2050, simply put, the load averages displayed are for the past 1, 5, and 15 minutes, iirc [15:24] Arcanewater I have to reboot so if you do this and post it make sure I see it. [15:25] Aidiakapi: pastebin your attempt at making a commit and the full output, as well as « ls -ld DIRECTORY » output for the relevant directories [15:25] yes I know the 1 5 15... but I'm just wondering if I'm supposed to see 1.0 or 8.0 for an 8 core system that would be loaded [15:25] alien2050, rule of thumb of mine: if your 5 minute load average is over 10, there's something wrong :P [15:26] alien2050, i dont think the numbers refer to the number of cores. [15:26] TLoT, alien2050, load average does correlate to number of cores [15:27] valnour, but would it say "8" if all 8 cores are running at full for a minute? [15:27] alien2050: I'm on a dual-core machine and my uptime last chars reads: load average: 0.00, 0.07, 0.12 [15:28] TLoT, alien2050: read this http://blog.scoutapp.com/articles/2009/07/31/understanding-load-averages [15:28] The results from the command are: rwxr-xr-x 6 www-data svn 4096 Oct 8 17:26 /home/svn/zdb, and the error is: Can't open file '/home/svn/zdb/db/txn-current-lock': Permission denied. [15:28] especially the part that starts with "What about Multi-processors?" [15:28] Looks like quite a nice article thx valnour [15:28] no problem [15:29] Aidiakapi: use a pastebin (http://paste.ubuntu.com) and paste what I actually asked please [15:29] That is the result of what you actually asked :S [15:29] TLoT, to answer your question directly, on an 8 core system, a load average of 8 would be max load, yes [15:29] problem with LAMP installation anyone who is competent with LAMP [15:29] valnour, so, what i said is right, > 10 load average on a dual core is BAD :P [15:30] valnour, that's happened before, so i know from experience its bad ;P [15:30] Aidiakapi: pastebin your attempt at making a commit ----->and<----- the full output, as well as « ls -ld DIRECTORY » output for the relevant directories [15:30] right... because it's higher than your number of cores [15:30] it helps to give a reason why it's bad, and to help the user understand why it's bad [15:30] better than saying "yep, 10 is bad" [15:31] Arcanewater, I don't PM. [15:31] post it in the channel [15:31] the next question might be "what about 3, or 9, or 7?"

It is not reading input from the keyboard or touchpad properly. Iv connected a usb mouse and that fails too. It is a completely brand new laptop - i tested all the hardware on the default windoze install before putting ubuntu on. It was initially working during the installation but suddenly failed when it reached the desktop - just as i connected to a [15:39] wireless network but I doubt that is relevant. The input works briefly but stops after a few seconds at the logon screen. [15:39] chinneseproduct, i'd take a try at using this: sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server libapache2-mod-php5 [15:39] adios ziggyzero [15:39] chinneseproduct, and all the relevant dependencies as well [15:40] jrib, ohoow I see those are user root and group root. I used the chmod and chown commands before using the svnadmin create command is that the problem? === gruebuntu is now known as tscopp [15:40] Should I just try to reinstall ubuntu? [15:40] chinneseproduct, there may be other configuration you'll have to do though, i can't help you there, i'm a fan of nginx instead of apache :P === Lesterwood is now known as ezel [15:41] Aidiakapi: is there a reason you're using svn by the way?

[15:43] jrib, not really, though I used GIT for some time, and I really didn't like it, I've never heard of the other two [15:43] wilee-nilee now i pressed F12 to get to boot menu and choosed windows boot manager and i logged me in windows 7 hmmmm.... [15:43] jrib, and SVN with TortoiseSVN seems rather easy, plus the extensions for Visual Studio work great [15:44] chinneseproduct: could you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file please? I think you may have a problem there [15:44] Arcanewater, Hmm so what is the f12 function on your computer, mine is a boot from menu, including usb and cd's and Hard drives? [15:45] wilee-nilee mine is too and first option is ubuntu and second one is windows boot manager and if i press windows boot manager it get me in windows [15:45] Aidiakapi: what's zdb? What's creating that lock file? Does something else write to the repository maybe? [15:45] Arcanewater, Do you have more then one HD perchance [15:45] wilee-nilee no i only have 1 hd [15:46] ardchoille, so can i do [15:46] Arcanewater, Was the windows boot a recovery backup, that is just a strange anomaly, I'm trying to think what might be going on is all. [15:47] jrib, no the problem was solved by setting the permissions again (sudo chown www-data:svn /home/svn/zdb, sudo chmod g+rws /home/svn/zdb did the trick for it). zdb is the name of my repository and project [15:47] wilee-nilee no it just loaded normaly as usual... === Sh2k is now known as Sazpaimon [15:47] Aidiakapi: k [15:47] HELLO [15:48] Arcanewater,does grub actually list it as windows boot manager? [15:48] Arcanewater, I'm not sure now lol, well at least we know windows will boot. [15:48] jrib so what are those other version control systems, and do they have advantages over svn? And it's kind of important that it's very easy to use from a windows installation, because all team members are using windows, but the server is running linux [15:48] Aidiakapi: git. [15:48] bacon4435, leave ur fooolish isnt a place for that [15:48] chinneseproduct: no u [15:48] BluesKaj wilee-nilee nope on grub menu there is nothing connected with windows xD [15:49] Arcanewater, I wonder if you are missing the bootflag in the correct windows partition. [15:49] on* [15:49] wilee-nilee any way to check thath? [15:49] Arcanewater, can you run commands from that computer and pastebin the results? [15:49] Calinou, Which client do you use on windows then? Because all git seems a lot more difficult than SVN [15:49] in ubuntu' [15:50] chinneseproduct: hi [15:50] * valterguy waves at bacon4435 and tells him to name his problem [15:50] wilee-nilee i can run command but not command which are need internet cause my wifi on linux is not working xD Not even on live cd where it was working before. [15:50] yes bacon4435 [15:51] bacon4435, say whats ur problem [15:51] chinneseproduct: could you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file please? I think you may have a problem there [15:52] Aidiakapi: official git client (from CLI) works just fine [15:52] the GUI might or might not work [15:52] git is easier than SVN; I can use git but not svn [15:52] ardchoille, no such a directory [15:52] and has more features [15:53] Arcanewater, Run in ubuntu sudo fdsik -lu and post it in a pastebin, you can copy and paste the text to a gedit text and move it to the computer you are on, ona usb flash if your on a computer now, rather then a phone or something. [15:53] ardchoille, no such a directory /etc/apt. [15:53] chinneseproduct: you don't have an /etc/apt directory? [15:53] can git just checkout stuff? [15:53] so whats the problem there === matt_ is now known as Guest14896 [15:53] you need to compile anything, git downloads hundreds of megabytes [15:54] chinneseproduct: if you don't have an /etc/apt directory I'm wondering where your sources are [15:54] so whats the problem there ardchoille [15:54] Arcanewater, I think getting the wifi running on the ubuntu first will be a better task as of now, we know the windows will boot, so having it on the web will make things much easier for some one to help you. [15:55] wilee-nilee sec i just got log from this, i am transfering it on this machine now [15:55] ardchoille, but /etc/apt/ is a directory terminal tell me that [15:55] Arcanewater, cool [15:55] !pastebin | Arcanewater [15:55] Arcanewater: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[16:00] chinneseproduct: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [16:01] ardchoille, http://pastebin.com/4TrGMKmJ after running the command gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [16:01] bazhang: I'm not familiar with the precise-proposed repo. would that cause problems? [16:02] ardchoille, sure why not === marowanna is now known as ar0nic [16:02] ah, ok [16:02] wilee-nilee BluesKaj here you go log http://pastebin.com/Cgv1igHc [16:02] bazhang: can you give advice on this when you have a moment? It's for chinneseproduct : http://pastebin.com/4TrGMKmJ [16:02] I think that proposed repo is causing him problems in installing things [16:04] Arcanewater, Ah a gpt setup I'm not really familiar with how to set up grub to work in a gpt others are though that is key info so make sure it is part of the info when you get help. [16:04] hey folks, i have a sata 7200 rpm raid 10 array with poor write performance. any articles you can point me to that can help me tweak/adjust settings to improve performance? getting about only 120MB/sec write, where i get 5100MB/sec reads [16:04] chinneseproduct: are you're on ubuntu 12.04? [16:04] wilee-nilee so you dont have any idea anymore ^^ i am thinking about formating again xD [16:05] how can i tell when my version of ubuntu server 10.04.4 lts is supported until? [16:05] ardchoille, yes [16:05] ardchoille, 12.04 [16:05] Running files through mp3gain. Some complain saying that they are Layer I and not Layer III. Can somebody advise me how I convert the mp3's to layer III? [16:05] chinneseproduct: ok [16:05] AdvoWork, 5 years [16:05] how to troubleshoot a missing soundcard? [16:06] chinneseproduct: I think that proposed repo is causing you problems but I'd like to hear from a veteran like bazhang [16:06] bazhang: 5 years for 10.04? [16:06] truexfan81, for server, yes [16:06] truexfan81: only on server yes [16:06] 5 years for servers on LTS [16:06] ardchoille, lets hear fro, [16:06] ah ok [16:06] xibalba, Run the smart data in the disk utility to see if there are problems on the disc [16:06] ardchoille, lets hear from bazhang [16:06] bazhang, how do you know, also i see on this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases it has eol dates, but not for 10.04.4 ? [16:06] hi [16:06] ardchoille, sure why not have him comment it out and see [16:07] Arcanewater, I would not run a new install you are probably fine but just need a person familiar with that type of partitioning to finish of the setup. [16:07] any body knows how to creat a website on ubuntu desktop and run it on internet? [16:07] AdvoWork: it says right there on that page [16:07] AdvoWork, up until 12.04 LTS were always 5 for server and 3 for desktop; with the release of 12.04 it's 5 for both [16:07] ahh ok [16:08] ardchoille, and bazhang i know both of u have to help me on the LAMP installation [16:08] w0lf : install Apache :-) [16:08] and? [16:08] does anyone know what kernel comes with 12.10 [16:08] wilee-nilee do you know any one who is familiar with that??? [16:08] w0lf: apache will be your web server. [16:08] Arcanewater, GPT is alittle different then the standard msdos I'm familiar with and probably most of the computers use. [16:08] chris#ubuntu+1 for 12.10 discussion please [16:08] wilee-nilee, i'm not familiar with that. mind giving me an example command? [16:08] ok about dns? [16:08] chinneseproduct: comment out that proposed repo (line 44 in your paste), then save, then do: sudo apt-get update [16:08] chinneseproduct: then try your install again [16:09] w0lf : Compy your web page to /var/www/html and then give your IP address to the visitor [16:09] copy* [16:09] chinneseproduct, comment out= place a # in front of it [16:09] Arcanewater, People on the ubuntu forum, and a couple here I have not seen yet.

[16:25] okay, bazhang [16:25] chinneseproduct: please tell us what you need to install [16:25] I believe it was php5 and mysql [16:26] ardchoille, LAMP [16:26] ah [16:26] bazhang: the best way to install LAMP? [16:27] is there any d.j software for linux? [16:27] ardchoille, bit busy at the moment, sorry [16:27] wilee-nilee, are you sure , /dev/sda4 is his ubuntu install , why bothger with chrooting ? [16:27] calrogman: it's like bow ties. it's cool. [16:27] bazhang: No worries [16:27] !LAMP [16:27] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [16:27] wilee-nilee, he's using the live cd with the terminal [16:27] LeMike: zsh is more like a colour-clashing frock [16:28] how do I make evinces side bar narrower? [16:28] BluesKaj, From a live cd you would have to chroot. As it is he can boot to Ubuntu I believe you can you purge and install all from there. [16:28] i use ubuntu studio OS. fresh install inside my hdd..... [16:28] chinneseproduct: Please visit this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [16:28] my borwser won't open it, I think it's an issue on my end [16:28] ardchoille, so we do have to wait for bazhang [16:28] chinneseproduct, no [16:28] BluesKaj, It is a GPT it is not msdos partitioning set up, Personally I think a person who know GPT booting wu=ith grub will know what to do. [16:28] chinneseproduct: no, he's busy, there's a tutorial for you [16:29] wilee-nilee, I never do chroots to install grub to a different partition [16:29] ardchoille, there at ur link there is a tasksel [16:29] which isnt gud ardchoille [16:29] vlc player have no sound for dat files................. [16:29] chinneseproduct: go ahead and try that again [16:29] BluesKaj, Cool but I doubt that will fix it but one never knows. I never of had to reload a grub this way. [16:30] in a partition,. [16:30] yeahhh....keep configure..... [16:30] yebs -> pl see my pm [16:30] aaaaaa............... [16:31] Hello [16:31] When using virtualbox in (win7) and booting a session of Ubuntu, can i specify somewhere that i only need terminal and not Desktop ? [16:31] Guys [16:32] MINTTU{MB} : in grub remove "splash" from kernel line [16:32] when i touch the disk with ls or stat the process goes into D state as described by ps (uninterruptable sleep). i dont have root. halp [16:32] I just joined the linux group by dual booting ubuntu and win 7... the problem is that my wireless doesnt work. I have a linkysy adapter card but it doesnt work in ubuntu... is there a driver or something i need to install? [16:32] BluesKay wilee-nilee i tryed following command and it says: Path '/boot/grub/' is not readable by GRUB on boot. Installation is impossible. Aborting. [16:32] how can i check if i have got a certain lib installed from the command line? [16:33] I just joined the linux group by dual booting ubuntu and win 7... the problem is that my wireless doesnt work. I have a linkysy adapter card but it doesnt work in ubuntu... is there a driver or something i need to install? [16:33] MINTTU{MB}, In the kernel at the grub prompt hit shift to get grub, and you can set it in the install to run as a cli. [16:33] ardchoille, still the problem http://pastebin.com/8f2DZvNY === delac_ is now known as delac [16:34] Arthar360, dont know what this "grub" is :) [16:34] !grub2 | MINTTU{MB} [16:34] MINTTU{MB}: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [16:35] Guys [16:35] When I lock the screen, is there any way to appear the login screen? Instead of lock screen? [16:35] Arcanewater_, ok , so GPT can't be read by grub or os-prober ...how convenient :( [16:35] chinneseproduct: ok, further down in that tutorial there are instructions for manually installing the LAMP components. Start in that page where it says "Installing Apache 2" and begin installing the components you need. [16:35] MINTTU{MB}, Grub is the ubuntu bootloader if you tap on shift at the start of the vm you will see it and follow this link for a cli. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9644518#post9644518 [16:35] ardchoille, let ,e try [16:36] chinneseproduct: sudo apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql [16:37] chinneseproduct: then read that page for setting up and configuring those components === simion314_ is now known as simion314 [16:37] BluesKaj, I believe GPT can work with grub fine it just needs someone who knows this stuff. [16:37] BluesKaj So what do you recommend now? [16:37] lots of booting with grub in a GPT on the web. [16:38] bazhang: not immediate: he was using tasksel to install LAMP but he kept getting "aptitude failed". Does tasksel require aptitude? Everyone says to avoid aptitude. I'm confused. [16:38] http://pastebin.com/ThDvvQQz ardchoille see after running the command u gave me [16:38] Don't peck at it wait for someone who knows [16:39] MINTTU{MB} : after bios screen...grub screen appears (you should press and hold "Shift" key....while bios screen appears) after getting this black screen....press e to edit grub mean..Search for "kerlel" and in the same line somewhere you will find "splash" ..remove this "splash" and press crtl+x [16:39] thank you :) [16:39] MINTTU{MB}: alternatively, you may wish to shut down the desktop /after/ it has been loaded. - http://askubuntu.com/questions/65856 [16:39] chinneseproduct: ok, that is a dependency problem.

I can't go any further because I don't have the proper information and don't want to give you bad advice [16:41] Arthar360, That will only make text seen not a cli. === NoOp is now known as Guest11763 [16:42] ardchoille, thanks alot to where u brought me [16:42] I'm running 12.04 with gnome classic. Anyone know how to fix this?: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/102233/whitebox.png That's a right-click dialog box [16:42] chinneseproduct: But I suspect that the proposed repo installed something that is causing problems now.. but that's just my opinion [16:43] Arcanewater_, I really don't know. I don't have any experience with GTP/ UEFI . My pc is fairly old and so are the drives except for my external media drive , so grub works on all and it sees my W7 install [16:43] it's intermittent, but it's white more often then populated [16:43] leftyfb: did you just install a gtk theme? [16:43] ardchoille, okay let me wait for bazhang [16:43] Guys… is there any way to replace lockscreen by loginscreen? [16:43] leftyfb, What are you clicking on is that a TTY?

After installing the fgrxl driver I got a black border around the visible area of the screen. (approx. 5%) [16:45] wilee-nilee: from them [16:45] this was working fine on 10.04 [16:46] damn, bbiab [16:46] leftyfb, YOU never want to use theirs it will not follow kernel updates. You would only use theirs if nothing else worked. [16:46] could it be a big issue if you have your controller and zfs file system on different block sizes? [16:48] ardchoille, i was not aware with 12.10 its already released [16:48] chinneseproduct: not until the 28th of this month [16:48] hoooppsopen the website ubuntu.com [16:48] its there ardchoille [16:50] Hallo, I guess you have handled that problem many times, but i haven't found a suitable solution with the help of google.

[16:56] if 12.10 will be for 18month how bout 12.04 though its ya LTS [16:56] sqrt7744, ah ok, well there should be something in /etc somewhere where you can put a script [16:56] chinneseproduct: 12.04 is 5 years [16:56] chinneseproduct: 12.04 is supported for 5 years [16:56] ThinkT510, so beta to have 12.04 [16:57] chinneseproduct: what? [16:57] beta=better I guess [16:57] chinneseproduct: oh, better yes [16:57] ThinkT510, better to have 12.04 [16:57] chinneseproduct: you're better off staying with 12.04 [16:57] truexfan81: that's been disabled by default for quite a while [16:58] i would like to have it back, its annoying having to go to cli just to restart xorg [16:58] or can i upgrade from 12.10 to 13.04 is it applicable ThinkT510 and ardchoille [16:58] truexfan81: why do you need to restart xorg?

If I install it, can I then upgrade to 12.10 from 12.04 ? There's no intel x86 64bit for beta 12.10. Thanks for looking [17:03] shwaiil: yes [17:04] !final | shwaiil [17:04] shwaiil: If you install a development version of Ubuntu Quantal and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 12.10 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a terminal. [17:04] BluesKaj, Not sure to be honest there are official ubuntu wiki's on this stuff. I spent a long time on the UF helping with grub issues and dualbooting stuff, there were a couple of helpers there who knew this part of it and were on daily, so I let them mess with the unusual partitioning stuff, lol. [17:04] shwaiil, amd64 is for intel 64 as well [17:04] bazhang: is for intel too ? oh so ok I'll just stick with beta, pretty sure is better then 12.04 no ?! [17:05] I'll have to install windows because of some programs, should I install it first and then ubuntu ? [17:05] BluesKaj, here is one of the best helpers there. http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11509699&postcount=2 [17:05] so it doesn't screw the mbr or whatever its called [17:05] wilee-nilee, it looks like grub devs better get a handle this if we're going to see more and more pcs with GPT tables [17:05] ardchoille, there is a rumor but i don like em at all that several clean installation degrade the hdd [17:05] BluesKaj, I think they do it is just not a click and play situation. [17:06] wilee-nilee: I always use nvidia's because I get full functionality out of my nvidia card and more recently, the repo drivers break several things and is slower [17:06] chinneseproduct: I'll believe it when I see it ;) [17:06] ardchoille, hahahahahahahahahahaha [17:06] wilee-nilee: also, I had this same issue with the repo drivers [17:07] ardchoille, but have u ever heard it [17:07] leftyfb, Cool, all I know is that the advice in general is to use the repos versions. It may be do mto most or many not having a clue in this area, and are not prepared to reinstall the nvidia versions when a kernel update or upgrade comes through. [17:07] bad advice [17:07] Good day folks [17:07] is it possible to install compat libraries? [17:08] leftyfb, Are you calling my advice bad? [17:08] dkms reinstalls the driver without issue btw [17:08] chinneseproduct: the more a harddisk is used the more it gets worn, the process takes quite a while though, when you start seeing bad sectors then the drive is nearing the end of its life [17:08] Hallo, I guess you have handled that problem many times, but i haven't found a suitable solution with the help of google.

[17:08] leftyfb , best to install the nvidia-current driver , then reboot [17:08] wilee-nilee: when suggesting nouveau over official drivers from nvidia, yes [17:08] BluesKaj: incorrect [17:09] leftyfb: what is wrong with nouveau? [17:09] leftyfb, welcome to my ignore list, what I have said is the standrad rhetoric, just because you experience is different does not show any problems. I DID NOT SAY USE NOUVEAH DRIVERS MORON> [17:09] leftyfb, maybe for you , but iut works for most nvidia cards [17:09] leftyfb, its the officially supported method. to get from the repos. lets not argue about this any further [17:10] so other than suggesting nouveau which doesn't fix my issue, isn't the problem and introduced more problems, is there no other advice here? [17:10] wilee-nilee, lets move on [17:10] what are you talking about> [17:10] bazhang, no problem they are in ignore forever. ;) [17:10] are compat libraries still required to run different arch programs?

[17:11] ardchoille: yes [17:11] mercsniper: the advice I've always been given is to never mix packages [17:12] Hallo, I guess you have handled that problem many times, but i haven't found a suitable solution with the help of google.

Please reply, I am not s [17:12] ure if you can read my messages. )I use this client for the first time) [17:12] leftyfb, if you're so sure about what doesn't work then from your obvious great powers of deduction youshould be able find a driver that , and feel free to report back to us which one that is, so we share this gift with everyone who needs it. [17:12] trying to install the demo of ida after installing using the minimal install [17:12] BluesKaj, hes gone [17:13] carmi; no control on the television setup? [17:13] too bad .. bazhang , just when i came up with a witty comment :) [17:13] Q: If i'm going to install ubuntu on SSD, what should I remember doing when creating the partitions: the swap / temp files thing ,etc ? [17:13] I remember iv'e got to do something but its not clear atm [17:14] shwaiil, not anything special, no [17:14] shwaiil; not a good idea to put swap on ssd [17:14] bazhang: are you sure ? otherwise my ssd will die soon [17:14] shwaiil, install windows first, the ubuntu installer will take care of the rest [17:14] shwaiil, all you really need is a /root /swap /home, some people will do a /boot [17:14] miraje: I disabled the overscan function of the panasonic TV, that's all [17:14] miraje: yeah that's why I'm asking :T should't I have tmp swap or whatever in my secondary hdd or something [17:15] hi, I got a weird problem, a friend of mine want me to install ubuntu on his laptop, I try to install through live usb (cdrom is dead) when I choose usb boot computer reboot start on usb but all harddrive are disabled, anybody know what's going wrong ? [17:15] just want to remember what to do [17:15] hello [17:15] RobbyF: so the /swap in the non SSD ? [17:15] shwaiil; it's not that swap shouldn't be on a second drive, it's that swap should not be on a ssd, or else it will die soon [17:15] i have an ubuntu installation on a CF card, that im trying to boot on another motherboard but i get the error of eth0 not present [17:15] is there a way to change the driver for eth0 [17:16] miraje: If i activate the overscan funvtion, then the black border shrinks up to 2% [17:16] miraje: yeah I know, that's why I'm asking, just making sure I don't forget to put the right paths on the right place (non-ssd) [17:16] shwaiil, it's all pref. [17:16] RobbyF: ok i'm lost 0D [17:16] shwaiil; at least put swap on it's own partition on the main drive [17:16] :D [17:16] if you put it on a secondary then you'll have more SSD space for stuff that matters [17:17] carmi; 2% isn't bad [17:17] miraje: what's the pahts that shouldn't be in the SSD ? my ssd is the primary drive =) [17:17] carmi, is the fglrx driver the only one you've tried so far ? [17:18] shwaiil; what is the device name for your main (mechanical) harddrive? [17:18] miraje: its not setup yet I'll do it 2 hours from now when I get home, got a new computer [17:18] miraje: I know, but it is still sad that I have bought a new graphic card which should support 1920x1080, which is native of the panasonic [17:19] I just wanted to know what shouldn't be in the SSD (main-drive-primary) [17:19] OHH feels so good with huge nvidia icons in unity http://i.imgur.com/O32zB.png :) need to use this trick in my own apps! === ale__ is now known as shomon [17:20] BluesKaj: I did not try other driver (expect the mesa (default of ubuntu)) -> with the default driver it uses the whole screen [17:20] so from what I've read so far, is the... swap and /home ?! [17:20] carmi, is it a newer TV? I had the same issue before (nvidia driver) I had to manually set resolution and it still didn't fit 100%, newer tvs will support HTPC. older may need to use DVI cables [17:20] shwaiil; swap should never be on a ssd, temp would preferably not be on a ssd [17:20] jrib: i don't have this DontZap setting in my xorg.conf file so this man page is not helping [17:20] How can I make a live usb go directly in live mode? (skipping the GUI that says Try/Install) [17:20] i have an ubuntu server installation on a CF card, that im trying to boot on another motherboard but i get the error of eth0 not present [17:20] is there a way to change the driver for eth0 [17:20] i have an ubuntu server installation on a CF card, that im trying to boot on another motherboard but i get the error of eth0 not present, is there a way to change the driver for eth0 [17:20] Frostbyte, I don't believe you can. [17:21] :/ [17:21] shwaiil: how much ram do you got [17:21] miraje: yeah I know it shouldn't be in SSD, that's why I'm asking, wish others I need to put on non-ssd [17:21] I'll have to hit the key every time hm? [17:21] 16gb [17:21] alien2050: tks for looking [17:21] the TV is approx 2 year old, the default ubuntu driver and also windows could use the whole screen, therefore I guess i have to confiure the fglrx driver [17:21] (it's persistent btw) [17:21] carmi, does the vesa driver give the 19290x1080 resolution ? [17:21] Frostbyte, If you have a big enough usb flash a full install is what has better longterm use if you are using a persistent function now. [17:21] oops 1920x1080 [17:21] truexfan81: right well, you'd likely want to change its value [17:22] alien2050: I'm going to setup a new computer in a few hours and all I want to know is, what's the paths that shouldn't be in SSD. So far I understood Swap and /home [17:22] jrib: correct, which section do i need to put it in? [17:22] Frostbyte, The persistent will fill up at some point, and virtually impossible to empty. [17:22] truexfan81: I don't know [17:22] point is, I want to transfer it from pc to pc (with different hardware) [17:22] 16gb, you probably will never hit the swap, but if it does, what is the SSD? Most SSD are now capable to prevent wear by doing wear leveling [17:22] hello guys [17:22] full installation might not catch it [17:22] BluesKay: yes the default driver of ubuntu uses the whole screen, right after installing fglrx the visible area shrinks [17:23] wilee-nilee, I'm using casper partition, not file :P [17:23] is it your new rig ? or is it for other people and are they doing intensive apps [17:23] truexfan81: actually, there is an alternative combo you can use. I forgot about it. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XorgCtrlAltBackspace [17:23] Frostbyte, Doea not matter as far as cleaning, but it allows far a bigger persistent. === NoOp is now known as Guest30144 [17:23] i have an ubuntu server installation on a CF card, that im trying to boot on another motherboard but i get the error of eth0 not present, is there a way to change the driver for eth0 [17:23] if it's your rig, and you're not sure about the quality of the drive, do not worry and don't put swap even if it complains at install time... [17:24] I do not plan on loading it stuff, just ssh and vpn stuff [17:24] 16GB is a lot of ram.... [17:24] carmi, what about the catlyast GUI , doesn't it have optional settings expand the image ? [17:24] but it gets quite tiresome having to wait for the menu to pop up, I wanna leave it and load :P [17:24] Frostbyte, Cool I was just concerned you were aware of the limitations is all. [17:24] yeah, already read the fine manual :D [17:25] what is the usage of the promp that appears on the desktop when we type letters ? [17:25] I have 24 gb myself and I've never hit swap unless with specific apps like Blender 3D rendering a huge scene with older versions which did not handle ram properly... [17:25] alien2050: yeah my new computer , the hdd is 60 GB Intel 520 Series SATA III Gaming MLC Solid State Disk [17:25] I would not worry [17:25] how do i repair a package? [17:25] Frostbyte, Lol probably the only one to do so as far as channel visitors. ;) [17:25] qcjn, what version of ubuntu [17:25] no, I couldn't found a suitable setting for that issue. (like a zoom factor= [17:25] systems7: udev binds the MAC of the NIC to a device name in "/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules" - edit that and you should be sorted [17:25] alien2050: actually I'm a Blender guy :D but been out for 2 years and a half. thats the reason I bought this computer , also will have windows for fl studio and sony vegas [17:25] i have an ubuntu server installation on a CF card, that im trying to boot on another motherboard but i get the error of eth0 not present, is there a way to change the driver for eth0 [17:26] f.eg. if the package 'linear programming kit' is broken ? [17:26] alien2050: so, I guess I should just care about SWAP being in optical hard drive (secondary) [17:26] good day all.. how can i launch the file manager in unti as root ? [17:26] irc is always the last resort for troubleshooting :P [17:26] shwaiil: hey fellow blenderhead :) [17:26] carmi, i have a panasonic plasma connected to a nvidia 8400gs without any problems , dvi>hdmi [17:26] andreb, why would you need to [17:26] alien2050: looking forward to get my skills back, my last version was 2.49, so I'm very excited with the new interface and stuff [17:27] i want to edit some files and vi is a givng me beans... so i was wondering if i can open teh file manger as root or a text edit as root [17:27] I've followed since 2.42 every version including compilation, 2.64 is just amazing btw [17:27] andreb, gksudo nautilus but be very caref ul with that [17:27] BluesKaj: I bought a HD6450 with a hdmi output to use it as a multimedia pc in my living room [17:27] andreb, File gksudo gedit "path to file" [17:28] always on linux, no more windows for me since 2008 :) [well for games but this is all gonna change soon with steam for linux] ;) [17:28] hopefully [17:28] bazhang, thnk it s 11.10 [17:28] carmi, yup same here , I use it as a HTPC , but i prefer nvidia to ati for linux [17:28] thank you tj [17:28] or as suggested open nautilus in root andreb, [17:28] wilee-nilee, btw, any clue why the stick doesn't seem to view the fat32 partition it boots from? [17:28] ill let u know how it goes [17:28] alien2050: well... I need to install it because of Fl Studio and I still like Sony Vegas better then the Blender NLE [17:29] trying to install ia32-libs-multiarch says i have unmet dependancies... [17:29] qcjn, what does lsb_release -a in terminal say [17:29] (aka doesn't mount) [17:29] BBL , stuff to do for 20 mins or so [17:29] Frostbyte, The fat shows as home/file basically I think it is open the OS=ISO is running from there [17:29] alien2050: I had to buy a laptop instead of a desktop because I've moved to london and need portability. My gfx card is a nVidia 660 gtx not sure if its going to work with cycles [17:29] bazhang, 11.10 [17:29] qcjn: if you mean the textbox that appears when you type with the desktop focused, it is for the nautilus tree search, put a bunch of files in ~/Desktop and then type one of their names and it will highlight it [17:29] Next time I would better ask someone before I buy a hardware ;) [17:29] shwaiil: you soooooo should try KXStudio repo (a Ubuntu version for musicians) with kernel tweaking [17:29] jrib: that works hehe [17:30] truexfan81: cool [17:30] it's just the best, I do a lot of composing so.... [17:30] wilee-nilee, kewl, thankx [17:30] Frostbyte, Not the most elegant explanation. ;) [17:30] works for me :P [17:30] qcjn: mostly useless if you don't have stuff on your desktop (works in a normal File Browser window too though) [17:30] shwaiil: probably will work, as long as you've got CUDA compiled in cycles [17:30] it's a symlink then [17:30] but now I think it's by default [17:31] alien2050: cool. this is going to be the first time i'll use a laptop for working in blender, hope it's fine.

I'll put the swap in the secondary driver, non-ssd [17:34] yeah same here a bit of a obsession here really, but we are way OT. [17:35] actually this article says I don't have to care about ssd optimization and ware off http://askubuntu.com/questions/1400/how-do-i-optimize-the-os-for-ssds [17:35] trism, or can i change in which folder it search ?

[18:11] which filesystem would you use w/ ubuntu 12.04 installation on ssd disk? [18:12] cosmicfires: The dvb chipset built into that device. [18:12] okok, I see I have to improve my IRC knowledge ;) [18:12] aljosa, ext4 [18:13] cosmicfires: At least that device is about 3 years old. [18:13] greetings [18:13] I'm looking for the chipset on the hauppauge site [18:14] Any tips of why a previously working onboard audio device would stop working? I checked pulseaudio and alsamixer and volume is up on everything, and unmuted. However I noticed it only lists HDMI. [18:14] can i customize the top panel in 12.04 [18:15] jshriver, what's your soundcard? [18:15] cosmicfires: I'd buy a current device. [18:15] bekks which chipsets are good with linux?

[18:17] your [18:17] HDA Intel, which is the speaker + audio out jacks. === fartofagony is now known as Snaker [18:19] jshriver, ok the analog device in phonon , is the test audible ? [18:20] actionParsnip, am waiting for your recommendation on this http://pastebin.com/KGhhQWDg [18:20] no, no audio at all [18:20] and when I go into alsamixer this is what it says: Chip: Intel IbexPeak HDMI [18:20] Can someone assist or point me in the right direction for a virtualbox issue? I have tried 4.2 and 4.1 both giving the same issue. The vboxweb-service will not start and gives very little output to look for the cause. Any suggestions welcome. [18:20] which makes me think it's only allowing me to use the HDMI audio out. I tried f6 to select card but that is the only one listed [18:21] appreciate the help :) never had this happen before.

[18:26] hrm brb trying diff apps [18:26] ThinkT510, can u help me on LAMP installation [18:26] chinneseproduct: i can't sorry, no experience [18:26] jshriver, one more thing , do you have pavucontrol installed ..it's the pulseaudio GUI and it's setings are quite useful for input and output options and choices [18:26] ThinkT510, thenks [18:27] quick question; when I start typing from the desktop, what is the little box on the bottom right hand corner that pops up like a search bar? [18:27] good question [18:27] jackdup, what are typing into? [18:28] jackdup: in unity the desktop is like an open instance of nautilus [18:28] well, I just start typing with no program open and a little search box pops up? [18:28] odd [18:28] well now when I turn the volumne up and down I can hear the beep beep sound but still nothing from vlc or mplayer or mplayer -ao alsa [18:29] anybody with knowledge of LAMP installation [18:29] jackdup: Its a search box for installed programs. [18:29] chinneseproduct: I bet there are. [18:29] okay beks [18:29] but if i hit enter, even with the name of an installed program, it just closes, and nothing [18:29] help me here [18:29] jshriver, did you see my post about pavucontrol above ? [18:29] oh let me check [18:29] chinneseproduct: No. First, please just ask what you really want to know :) [18:30] ty installing now [18:30] bekks, i want to install LAMP [18:30] !who | jshriver [18:30] jshriver: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [18:30] chinneseproduct: You've been told several times on how to do it. I've read it. [18:31] Ubottu: will do, I apologize. [18:31] jshriver: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:31] bekks, i have tried but wasn't successfully [18:32] bekks, thats why am trying to ask other guys [18:32] Hey people [18:32] chinneseproduct: So what have you done exactly? what exactly didnt work? Please be much more precise. [18:32] I just got ubuntu 12.04.1 installed and I'm TOTALLY new to linux and so, I am new to ubuntu, too.

I'll tinker with it later this evening. Seems like the alsa module can see both output channels, but the pulse audio system only sees HDMI as a viable output device. Thanks for the help though and have a good day :) [18:34] chinneseproduct: Well, then install apache2, mysql, php without tasksel. === MonkeyDu1t is now known as MonkeyDust [18:35] jshriver, the pavucontrol has dropdowns that should show your analog output device [18:35] bekks, even that fails [18:35] chinneseproduct: Because...? What exactly have you tried, what exactly happened? [18:35] BlueSkaj aye, but sadly it doesn't does list Analog Input though, but not output [18:36] bekks, http://pastebin.com/WeTvKUym [18:37] chinneseproduct: could you please run `sudo apt-get update`? [18:37] valterguy, already run updates [18:38] chinneseproduct: Why dont you install apache2-mpm-prefork when it is required, as mentioned in the error message? [18:38] chinneseproduct: I still think these problems stem from having that "proposed" repo enabled [18:38] Is there a way to set the "executable program" as a standard in properties? making every file executable as program standardly? or is that only harmful? (I'm already pist by this >.<) [18:39] i have statically configured 3 network devices in /etc/network/interfaces all on the same network (Vmware NAT) . However, only one of them gets connectivity, and it seems to randomly choose which eth device upon each reboot, whats up? 12.04 server [18:39] Ririshi: that's not a good idea. Why do you want to do that? [18:39] Ririshi: I can't even begin to tell you how unsafe and insecure that would be [18:39] jshriver, ok , edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf as root, and add the the line to the bottom , options snd_hda_intel index=0 , save the file and reboot [18:39] Von ps I have created 3 NICS in vmware, and ifconfig ethx shows each having unique MAC addresses [18:39] jrib: ardchoille: it would make my life easier imo.. [18:40] Ririshi: how so? [18:40] what would cause a uptime drift? i started two machines, 2 minutes apart, now the uptime is 6 minutes apart [18:40] ubuntu 12.04 and ubuntu 8.04 here. [18:40] bekks, http://pastebin.com/fjH9rs5w [18:40] VonWhistler: did you set a default gateway for all 3 interfaces? [18:40] yes [18:40] yekoms: maybe the times were off when you first started (note I don't actually know if this would matter) [18:40] Ririshi: Trust me, you don't want to do that. It sounds good now but your system would suffer in the long run [18:41] VonWhistler: that's why then, only set one with a gateway [18:41] you mean the system time? those are set VIA ntpd [18:41] Hello, what are your experiences with watching youtube videos and your cpu performance. Some time the systemmonitor shows my an usage of over 90%. (Intel Core 2 Duo) [18:41] ardchoille, lets see bekks [18:41] actionParsnip, yes. when i type "ifup ethX" for the non-working devices it says failed to bring up [18:41] hello [18:41] carmi, that is normal. [18:41] yekoms: well maybe ntpd fixed the times too late. Again, I'm just making a guess [18:41] chinneseproduct: please don't highlight me, I can [18:41] actionParsnip, meaning i should globally specify the gateway? [18:41] t be of any further help [18:41] VonWhistler: you will kill routing with 3 interfaces on the same subnet all with a gateway defined [18:41] some one can help me , [18:41] i didnt think the timesync would cause that. [18:42] VonWhistler: no, set one interface with a gateway, the others not [18:42] the timestamps on both servers are identical. [18:42] ok ardchoille [18:42] yekoms: now [18:42] ardchoille: okay then [18:42] chinneseproduct: disable the proposed repo, and rerun sudo apt-get update please. [18:42] yekoms: but sometime there are too less frames and I want to use this computer as multimedia station [18:42] actionParsnip, how will the other interfaces know how to communicate with nodes not on their subnet? [18:42] carmi, then set it up for HIGH PERF. [18:42] bekks, how can disable the repo proposed [18:42] VonWhistler: didn't you say they were all in the same subnet? [18:42] chinneseproduct: How did you enable it? :) [18:43] hiiii how do you mount an iso and install it, in Linux, with wine? [18:43] yekoms: you mean I have an to old computer for my requests? [18:43] bekks, give the command to run [18:43] chinneseproduct: Answer my question. [18:43] VonWhistler: only one interface needs a gateway, the others will be internal interfaces [18:43] actionParsnip, yes that does make sense, i will see if that helps [18:43] bekks from sudo apt-get install [18:43] isnt the core duo a 2 core cpu carmi? [18:43] chinneseproduct: Impossible. Using apt-get install, you cannot enable or disable a repo. [18:44] yekoms: it is [18:44] root____2: whats up? [18:44] Anyone wanna help me mount an ISO and install it in Linux :D? [18:44] then it is kind of old. but it can be done. increase the ram will help. and raise your swap from 2g to 4g [18:44] actionParsnip, perhaps this is a poor idea, but i feel as if two interfaces would need to have a gateway, i want to have a specific device that i only use for incoming ssh connections and another which is used to handle incoming apache connections [18:44] Ramtron: [18:44] that'll boost some performance, but not alot [18:44] Oh? [18:44] BluesKaj: it works now :) rebooted and for whatever reason it comes up now lol. Haev a good day. [18:44] actionParsnip, is this a pointless configuration [18:44] Ramtron: sudo mkdir /media/iso; sudo mount -o loop /path/to/filename.iso /media/iso [18:45] BluesKaj: must have been modules gnomes :) [18:45] VonWhistler: how do you mean? [18:45] chinneseproduct: Take a look at this site, and use it to DISABLE the proposed repo: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed [18:45] I'll try it! [18:45] yekoms: I have 4GB ram in it, that should not be the reason [18:45] VonWhistler: its useless unless each interface have their own pool of bandwidth eg don't connect to the same gateway [18:45] actionParsnip, I was hoping i could bring down given interfaces (as this is a loadbalanced apache setup) while still keeping my open ssh connection in tact [18:45] well, what is it doing [18:45] Ramtron: there is an app called mounty too, the mount command is childishly simple [18:46] ALL flash runs a lil screwed up on linux..and i have a 8 core Intel 3200K with 16GB of ram. [18:46] VonWhistler: why not just stop apache? [18:46] i3200K [18:46] I'll look it up if this doesn''t work, thanks! [18:46] yekoms: nothing except systemmonitor and firefox and youtube, wait a mom, i will look which process cause the high usage === resistivecorpse3 is now known as resistivecorpse [18:46] firefox itself uses ram like a whore uses condoms without flash. [18:46] VonWhistler: you can use an interface for each service, you will still have the same central point / router so you won't really gain much [18:47] i got my firefox open to about:firefox, which is a non html page and its used 119MB === ||||||||| is now known as zzzZZZZZ === zzzZZZZZ is now known as zzzZZZZ [18:47] yekoms: Please keep your examples family friendly [18:47] yekoms: try chrome :) [18:47] chinneseproduct: could you run `dpkg --list | grep '^i' | grep -v '^ii'` and see if you get any output [18:47] actionParsnip, okay, i am going to remove the default gateway from all but one of the interfaces and report back. thanks. === zzzZZZZ is now known as ||||||||| [18:48] hey guys, how does group ownership settings affects the removal of a file ? can the root user remove a file owned by a group which is not root ? [18:48] nvictor: root can do anything [18:49] i see thanks actionParsnip [18:49] nvictor: file removal depends on the permissions on the directory, not the file itself [18:50] jordanm, yes indeed. the directory's group is not root either [18:50] actionParsnip, i hate google chrome... [18:50] bloated software :/ i like dolphin over chrome lol [18:50] nvictor: the only way to prevent root from removing a file is to set the immutable attribute on it [18:51] hi all. I'm installing ubuntu alongside win7 on a new laptop. THe advanced partit. utility shows /dev/sda with 3 partitions (sda1,2,3) weighting 17, 0.4 and 622 GB. It's strange that the partitioning tool allows me to choose also "/dev/sdb" for installing the boot loader... [18:51] Anyway, what I want is to cut half the space of windows for putting ubntu [18:51] what should I do..? [18:51] yekoms: uses fewer resources here [18:52] bekks, http://imagebin.org/231306 [18:52] are you AMD or iNTEL actionParsnip ? [18:52] yekoms: it is the plugin-container which uses the most of the cpu resources [18:53] carmi, thats the flash plugin.... [18:53] yekoms: If I had to buy then AMD but without inbuilt video [18:53] yekoms: or Intek without inbuilt video [18:53] quatar: if you are installing from a usb drive, then that is your /dev/sdb. install the bootloader to the MBR in /dev/sda [18:53] yekoms: How could I improve the performance? [18:53] valterguy, it blinking [18:53] actionParsnip, wow that was toally breaking my networking. i wish there had been a clear error somewhere. I was looking in dmesg, but nothing. Thanks a lot [18:53] the really strange thing is that the basic partitioning tool (the one with a simple slider) doesn't show the icons "ubuntu" and "windows" [18:53] chinneseproduct: Then provide the output of sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade please, in a pastebin. [18:53] VonWhistler: simple networking dude [18:53] carmi, im not sure how to improve flash performance... [18:53] yekoms: why'd you ask? [18:53] jordanm: why the basic partitioning tool doesn't show me what the two sides are for? [18:54] actionParsnip, ill never own AMD for daily use, just server, and i like onboard video support for both. [18:54] I'm a little bit afraid of going on... [18:54] quatar: it should show you ext3/4 vs ntfs [18:54] yekoms: But that behavour is only under linux, or? [18:54] yekoms: I always buy nvidia GPU due to Linux support :) [18:55] its on windows too carmi [18:55] ive noticed HIGH cpu/ram with firefox when watching flash carmi [18:55] Hey Ubuntu, I have an .iso file with a Windows install on it, is there any way I can run it without putting it on to a disk/USB? [18:55] jordanm: mmh probably I should start again explaining. When I first open the installer, I choose "install ubuntu alongside win7", and I found a slider with no labels at all. Then I choose the advanced partitioning tool, which doesn't allow me to "split" an existing partition without formatting it all [18:55] Domincii: virtualbox [18:55] Domincii, vboxx [18:55] yekoms: so in the end if have to invest in a new PC? [18:56] actionparsnip + yekoms, Oracle VM VirtualBox, hows that one? [18:56] quatar: resize the NTFS in WIndows7 and install to the new freed space. Be sure to run a full backup in case of catastrophe [18:56] i wouldnt say that. what exactly is it doing wrong? [18:56] Domincii: its fine, its in the repos too [18:57] bekks, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1267972/ [18:57] actionParsnip: no backup needed, since the computer was bought two hours ago, fortunately :) [18:57] actionparsnip, thanks buddy, do i just mount the .iso to it and run it? [18:57] Have a nice day, bye [18:58] chinneseproduct: Then run: sudo apt-get install apache2 now [18:58] Domincii: no need, vbox can work on ISOs as is, no need to mount [18:58] actionParsnip: jordanm: anyway, this was the situation: http://askubuntu.com/questions/150550/installing-ubuntu-with-windows-which-is-left-and-right-when-allocating-space unfortunately a bug that make me a little bit afraid of going on [18:58] quatar: nice, resize and install [18:58] quatar: resize in win7 [18:59] actionParsnip: is it possible? [18:59] quatar: I wouldn't say it if it wasn't [18:59] bekks, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1267981/ [18:59] actionParsnip: is it there a guide? and will it just free the space or also format it someway? [18:59] quatar: plenty online, youtube etc [19:00] actionParsnip: thx [19:00] chinneseproduct: what do you mean 'blinking' [19:00] chinneseproduct: sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5 [19:00] quatar: just free the space, windows formatting isn't appropriate for Linux installs [19:00] valterguy, after run yuor command [19:00] chinneseproduct: but no output? [19:00] actionParsnip: yes I know :) [19:00] I'm running ubuntu server and have forwarded a few ports to it for different purposes. I have shore wall firewall installed. Are there any other extra precautions that I should take when port forwarding to prevent unauthorized access ? [19:00] I just wanted to make sure not to find a new ntfs partition :P [19:00] yes no output valterguy [19:01] valterguy: We just ran apt-get update; apt-get upgrade, he's current now. :) [19:01] actionparsnip, I assume I need to run it from terminal, could you help me to do so? [19:01] chinneseproduct: We can move on, we ran that commands too... [19:01] bekks: i was just also checking if he had unconfigured packages. sorry if i missed something. [19:01] Domincii: run what? [19:01] bekks, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1267990/ [19:01] vbox has a menu entry Domincii [19:02] valterguy: No problem :) Currently, we're checking wether all needed packages are installed. === Guest51214 is now known as NoOp1 [19:02] bekks: there we go. :) [19:02] actionparsnip, yekoms, thank you, found it now [19:02] anyone ?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [19:18] oops :) [19:18] quatar: its like swap space in Windows [19:18] Ririshi, extract it [19:18] !swap | quatar [19:18] quatar: please see above [19:18] varikonniemi: just exctract? [19:18] ahah thx (ok, it's kinda what i knew...) [19:18] actionParsnip, so is it nvidia-96 or nvidia-current [19:18] varikonniemi: sounds rather easy ;p [19:18] Ririshi, then follow instructions [19:19] it can be just to run, or to vuild, or to install [19:19] varikonniemi: what instructions? I download it, then how should I open it first? [19:19] see included readme or howto or similar [19:19] chinneseproduct: sudo apt-cache policy apache2.2-common [19:19] varikonniemi: try either, you'll need to remove one before trying the other [19:19] just right click and extract === parti is now known as partii [19:20] tu-de [19:20] varikonniemi: okay cool :D [19:20] bp [19:20] np [19:21] I'm running ubuntu server and have forwarded a few ports to it for different purposes.

Go into the repo settings and just use archive.ubuntu.com instead of your localized mirror. [19:27] actionParsnip: no, it's difficult for me... what's an extended partition? === Ririshi1 is now known as Ririshi [19:27] quatar: its a workaround implemented ages ago to get around the limitation of 4 primary partitions [19:27] actionParsnip: on pidgin now :D [19:27] actionParsnip: when I choose "Add partition" on the free space, I just have the choice "Logic"/"Primary" [19:27] quatar: so you have 3 primary partitions and one extended parttion [19:28] Ririshi: some love it, some hate it. For me its a 12 year habit :) [19:28] should the word "extended" be written somewhere? [19:29] bekks, i select from the main server [19:29] ok, K.I.S.S.: the situation: after /dev/sda3 I have 300GB of free space... I click "Add" then I select what? actionParsnip [19:29] does someone know when will be the next MATE release? [19:30] hi, is there a tool to scale some pictures down for faster email sending? [19:30] Nosophorus: mate isn't supported here [19:30] phoenix211: imagemagick can do it [19:30] chinneseproduct: Yes. [19:30] chinneseproduct: After that, rerun sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [19:30] phoenix211: for single pictures, just open them with gimp. For batch processing, "mogrify" (a command line tool) will help you [19:31] on ubuntu 12.04 i've caused a login loop or lightdm loop.. even after a reboot.. it's still happening. i dont want to reimage the machine, how do i get it to stop [19:31] actionParsnip: why not? [19:31] quatar: make a new extended partition on the freed space. Then make your usual Linux partitions as you desire [19:31] heya, I'm trying to set up a sip account in empathy, installed telepathy-rakia (and even -sofiasip) but there's nothing that sounds like SIP when I go to g-o-a, is there any other place to add a sip account or do I have to install something else? [19:31] I know mogrify, but looking for a GUI tool for unexperienced linux users [19:31] actionParsnip: "extended" is not among the choices!! [19:31] i did a ssh -X machine and export DISPLAY=:1 and stuff to the otherm achine.. and its locked in loopback on login [19:31] quatar: make a logical partition then.

[19:33] bekks, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1268052/ [19:34] actionParsnip: last question. After creating a logical swap partition, for the next partition it didn't ask me about the type of partition but just its size. I think it's ok, isn't it? It handled it the only possible way? [19:35] quatar: as long as you can make the partition, you are golden [19:36] ok so i proceed. thanks [19:36] so, nobody tried telepathy-rakia yet? this is on 12.10 beta btw [19:37] Hello I added a minecraft.desktop to ~/.local/share/applications [19:37] chinneseproduct: and no packages were upgraded?

It was my understanding that you can't su to an account without a password, and that it would just fail. [20:28] hilo: ask in #vbox :) [20:28] actionParsnip: thanks man :D Now solve the java problem -.- [20:29] steveydevey: let me try [20:29] Ririshi: what java problem, you hava java [20:29] guntbert, the reason for this is to have private key authentication on our collection of servers instead of only passwords. and having a password in addition to the keys/passphrase seemed unsafe and redundant [20:29] actionParsnip: the minecraft itself gives a thread-8 problem or smth, are you a java pro?

I'm just trying to get things all set up correctly first. [20:36] netmk: okay. I'm trying now [20:36] guntbert, why do you think it's counter productive though? (other than losing the ability to natively sudo, apparently) [20:36] I'm trying to use a simple provisioning bash script to install some dependencies on Ubuntu 12.04 via Vagrant. After one dependency (postgres), Ubuntu says "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place" and just hangs. Has anyone run in to this before? I'm not sure if this is a Vagrant issue or an Ubuntu issue, so I thought I'd ask here first. [20:37] MonkeyDust, Oh, good to know! I didn't realize that. Thanks for the info. [20:37] trying to get along with ubuntu :p second day using it now XD [20:37] netmk: are you a java pro? [20:38] netmk: still error: http://pastie.org/5020798 [20:39] steveydevey: because by removing the password you don't gain anything (if ssh accepts only key based logins) - on the other hand: how many users will need to use sudo? [20:39] Ririshi: did you try the folder rename? [20:39] actionParsnip: yeah and i re-downloaded the whole minecraft stuff [20:42] ): [20:42] maybe because I only have the 64 bit version of java? [20:43] Ririshi:tried asking in the minecraft channel [20:43] guntbert, there definitely won't be many people sudo'ing. I guess I'll leave passwords enabled, but have sshd only accept key based logins. Thanks for the help. [20:43] actionParsnip: yeah, but they don't help me since it's pirated ): [20:43] steveydevey: Almost everyone on Ubuntu uses sudo :) [20:43] seems minecraft's included 32bit libraries in their 64bit release, which wouldn't work.. [20:43] steveydevey: no problem :) have fun [20:44] Ririshi: you can change those libraries to 64bit version manually, if you follow this: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Tutorials/Update_LWJGL [20:44] bekks, I agree. but not many people will be logging into these boxes :) (dns servers) [20:44] netmk: okay [20:44] steveydevey: Thats a very good reason for continuing using sudo :) [20:45] how do i mount an NFS volume? I thoguht `mount host:/path /local/path` did it ? [20:45] lethalnetworks:~$ sudo mount 192.168.1.70:/media/testVol1 /mnt/nfs [20:45] mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on 192.168.1.70:/media/testVol1 [20:45] bekks, I never wanted to stop using it. I just wanted to be able to authenticate with it using ssh keys instead of a password [20:46] steveydevey: Thats not possible. [20:46] xibalba: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/mount-network-file-systems-nfssamba-in-ubuntu.html [20:46] im having a repeating login screen on one user.. how do i fix it.. where is the configuration file for ubuntu/x/whatever for that user? [20:47] schultza: does it happen with other users? [20:47] no [20:47] bekks, it looks like it is possible, but maybe not with the default configuration: http://www.drhevans.com/blog/posts/195-using-ssh-agent-for-sudo-authentication/ [20:47] schultza: check ~/.xsession-errors for that user [20:47] guest is the only other user on that computer.. adn it works fine [20:47] Hello. Where is the log file stored for updated packages via apt-get update? I'm running LTS 10.04, updated packages and my deluged torrent server has stopped receiving incoming transmissions. The only thing that was changed was updated packages. [20:47] bekks, also: http://superuser.com/questions/164078/how-to-make-shared-keys-ssh-authorized-keys-and-sudo-work-together [20:47] schultza: try with non-guest account [20:47] schultza: take alook into the .xsession-errors from that user. [20:47] apparently i needed the nfs-common package...how dumb. [20:47] NFS should be builtin [20:47] sherm and guest are the only two accounts on the computer [20:47] schultza: so create one [20:48] steveydevey: That does NOT make sudo magically authenticate with a ssh key. [20:48] my 12.04 setup sees my desktop as laptop - any help? [20:48] EDID errors [20:48] steveydevey: INSTEAD, it even DISABLES the only barrier left: the password authentication. [20:48] schultza: maybe its just a user-setting, or the xauthority errors after fiddling with sudo [20:48] failed to load exter entity /home/sherm/.compiz/session/blah [20:48] schultza: use a pastebin to post full files, instead of just giving excerpts in the channel [20:49] im not on that local computer.. it's going to be more work than a single copy paste [20:49] schultza: take the whole file into a pastebin. so we can decide which line is important [20:50] schultza: is there a reason you can't use pastebinit? [20:50] bekks, Hmm. So are you saying anyone who can log in would then be able to sudo without any restriction? [20:50] i have to get to the file through a ssh client... it have to more than 5 pages ot c opying and pasting to pastebin [20:50] its not going to be simple [20:50] schultza: use pastebinit [20:50] !pastebinit | schultza [20:50] schultza: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [20:50] ok... see you in t5 mins [20:51] steveydevey: you have to be a bit careful with sudo and ssh keys [20:51] cause it iwll take that long to c opy/paste it [20:51] schultza: you just run one command, it should take you 2 seconds after installing it [20:51] steveydevey: In that example - the user dimas - is the only barrier. After hacking into that user account, there is no password barrier anymore for anyone to just use sudo and gain full root access. You dont want that. [20:51] netmk: THANK YOU! [20:51] schultza: stop [20:51] netmk: this fixed it :D [20:51] stop what? [20:52] i thoughty you qwanted a pastebin.. which i have to copy and paste to it [20:52] schultza: use pastebinit like jrib told you. that is command that will do all the work [20:52] bekks, Gotcha. I'll definitely be keeping the passwords then. :) [20:52] so you only need to show us the url [20:52] steveydevey: :) [20:52] no such command [20:52] schultza: install it [20:52] this is just hanging, lethalnetworks:~$ sudo mount 192.168.1.70:/media/testVol1 /mnt/nfs [20:52] bekks, I appreciate the info, for sure [20:53] steveydevey: Of course, you can enable pubkey authentication for user dimas and disable the ssh password login for that user. [20:53] steveydevey: In that case, you still will have to enter the _password_ when using sudo as user dimas. [20:53] schultza: you really need to read the bots msgs :/ [20:53] !ubottu [20:53] !patebinit > schultza [20:53] Hi!

[20:56] no.. what i was doing was trying to learn and set up a remote x session through ssh.. apparently it failed [20:57] and screwed up local gui login [20:57] schultza: so how did you try? [20:57] ssh -X [ip] and then a startx -- :1 on the ssh window [20:58] and it kept giving me no protocols error [20:58] schultza: dont use startx on ubuntu [20:58] schultza: why does this file keep mentioning root? [20:58] schultza: use the loginmnager [20:58] lightdm ? [20:58] yep [20:58] ok... how do i fix this without reinstalling?

[21:00] /root/.compiz no such file or directory [21:00] not with startx [21:00] and i logged in with sherm [21:00] schultza: well something is pretty broken with your setup then if it keeps trying to start everything as root [21:01] with all i did was start ssh sherm@ip... and startx -- :1 ... how did that force root? [21:01] oh... unless startx wont run as user.. and i did a sudo startx [21:02] * schultza slaps self silly. [21:02] _cb === cb_ is now known as _cb [21:03] im off for today [21:03] cya later :D [21:03] Hi, is there a way to use an ubuntu iso and on a linux itself create a bootable jumpdrive that is fat32-filesystem backed -- I mean, by NOT using dd, but using a mountable (writable) filesystem [21:04] youd have to mount the iso file and copy the files over to a already formated fat32 partition [21:04] winstonw, what are you trying to do. i cannot understand what you ask [21:04] hi, i have a problem with netbeans. I installed version 7.0.1 and now i want to add the C/C++ module but i can't cause there is nothing listed under (Tools/plugins/available plugins). Does anyone know how to update netbeans for c/c++ ?

[21:05] schultza: have you rebooted since this started happening? === vjn_ is now known as vjn [21:07] winstonw, i think the easiest way to get what you want is to install ubuntu to the usb drive. I dont think it supports fat as root filesystem though [21:07] you can make one partition ext and the rest fat though [21:07] winstonw if i understand correctly, yes, you can create an ntfs space inside your /home [21:07] or fat32, sorry [21:08] but not bootable, i was too fast [21:08] jrib, yes rebooted several times.. i even did a complete purge and reinstall of ubuntu-desktop [21:08] schultza: so does it happen with a non-guest user? [21:09] schultza: you could try to take a look at everything still belongs to your user in his home directory [21:09] the only non-guest user i have on that system is stuck in the relogin sequence [21:09] schultza: create one [21:09] .xauthority and some other files are root/root [21:10] schultza: bingo [21:10] rm it and replace the xauthroirty-l as the regular? [21:10] the xauthority needs to belong to your user [21:10] varikonniemi: no i mean making it boot from ubuntu jumpdrive and get the kernel from /mnt/jumpdrive/boot/kernel-name and then use the usual squashfs in whatever directory on the jumpdrive [21:12] winstonw i had never heard of a jumpdrive, but there's this (learned something new myself) http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/create-usb-ubuntu-linux-boot-jump-drive/ [21:13] brilliant [21:14] Just got this from ZNC... <*ctcpflood> Limit reached by [negin!~azin@69.195.207.232], blocking all CTCP [21:14] How to detect what device my webcam is in /dev/ ?

[21:15] ziggyzero: just ask [21:15] knightrage: it will probably fail at some point where the disk is protected [21:15] knightrage, playstation cd's have special protection. You may need a special app to copy/clone it. It may depend on the specific game also. [21:15] jrib, you might not have got those ctcps, or maybe you need a module enabled? [21:15] knightrage: you could try ddrescue [21:15] knightrage: fyi you can't create an ISO from a playstation game, but you can create an image (bin/cue or bin/toc type thing) [21:15] Krenair: I got them; I probably didn't enable the module [21:15] knightrage: PSX, PS2? [21:15] Is there anyway of keeping a log of any errors so that I can investigate which files failed analysis [21:15] zykotick9: yes [21:15] with mp3gain [21:15] knightrage: what zykotick9 said ;-) [21:16] ziggyzero: is that a console application?

[21:38] It opens in only readable format [21:38] Is that okay? There is no exe inside as far as I can see. [21:38] sayo, it is not possible [21:38] Ramtron: ISOs are read only [21:38] Unaware, I'll try your command, thanks [21:38] you must run grub-update [21:38] Ramtron: no EXE means nothing to run? what is this? [21:38] maybe grub-install? [21:39] varikonniemi: i am thiking the easiest way is to make the windows-linux dualboot, then make a disk image [21:39] I open the ISO and I see nothing inside. but it may be cause it's read only [21:39] i am just saying theoretically if you had a windows linux dualboot [21:39] and needed it reparied due to windows being full of fuck [21:39] just install win as normal, then run those commands in live cd and thats it [21:39] sayo mind your language please, it's really disturbing [21:40] :| [21:40] but does anyone have a better suggestion [21:40] i know right. [21:40] smh. [21:40] than disk images for restoration [21:40] i really wish windows would start using grub === black_ is now known as yekoms [21:41] i have dualboot also, but primary windows [21:41] so i must first select ubuntu, then the kernel, then it boots :| [21:41] im just talking in theory [21:42] sayo: And I wish Windows would use a package manager; unfortunately, neither will happen for a while. [21:42] OR ever. [21:42] thank you guys [21:42] Seednode: do you have any better administrative options [21:42] for managing linux-windows dualboot systems [21:42] Hm... [21:42] besides disk imaging [21:42] I just use separate HDDs for each OS. [21:42] because every time windows gets corrupted [21:42] But I realize that doesn't work for everyone. [21:42] Seednode: true, but what about laptops now [21:43] My laptop has a Windows SSD and a Linux HDD [21:43] 120GB each. [21:43] looole [21:43] which one gets the sdd? [21:43] Windows, atm. [21:43] sayo, what is wrong with the method i said [21:43] Mainly because it came with that, and I refuse to pirate. === Robert_ is now known as Guest81922 [21:43] varikonniemi: we are talking about backup solutions [21:43] and recovery stuff [21:43] im not sure i understand your suggestion [21:43] Just reinstall every time. [21:43] does anyone know where to contact Ubuntu devs? [21:43] It's what I do./ [21:44] if you take the time to install windows 30min then why not rewrite grub in 5 min? [21:44] If something goes wrong, it's probably time to reinstall anyways [21:44] Same goes for my Linux installs; I just back up important .conf files in Dropbox. [21:44] 30 mins tops to completely restore to my previous setup. [21:44] also guys, how do you manually partition for ubuntu [21:44] where are Ubuntu bugs reported? [21:44] the installer always makes the swap partition too small [21:44] i don't :D [21:44] Well, you'll need /home, /swap, and /boot [21:45] yes [21:45] i want those in seperate partitions [21:45] Probably 10GB, 2GB, and 100MB, respectively. [21:45] but the installer never lets me [21:45] Just split into three partitions. [21:45] Make one bootable. [21:45] Use cfdisk [21:45] Not the normal method. [21:45] Seednode: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:45] : | [21:45] so which one should i make bootable Seednode [21:45] root?

[21:58] Hi [21:58] Yes, TJ- [21:58] So, it's just an MS-DOS archaic toggle? [21:59] Seednode: Yes, that's what I was describing earlier [21:59] Alright, I guess the guide I was using was misinformed. [21:59] Thanks for letting me know; it'll save me 2 seconds or so in the future. [22:00] Seednode: Yes... MSDOS/Windows 3.1 would store a secondary boot loader in the boot sector of that partition, which would in turn be able to read the "command.com" executable from the root directory of the file-system [22:00] I installed Ubuntu from Windows installer a month ago and put 10gb on linux partition..

It's in there [22:05] Maksim: Gparted might be a tool to do what you're after, but I'm not sure how it'll work with your installation. You may be better off uninstalling Ubuntu using the windows uninstaller and then performing a dual boot after. [22:07] Any reason alt+drag won't work in 12.04? I have compiz setup to allow it under Move Window and have disabled context menus showing up on alt key [22:08] Maksim: Windows can usually shrink its own partition from Disk Management. Once that is done, boot from an Ubuntu liveCD, and use gparted to move the start of the Ubuntu partition so that the size of the Ubuntu allocation increases as it takes up the free space. [22:09] Hey happy campers! I'm interested in finding out why my latest ubuntu 12.04 server install won't define a default gateway for eth1 based on the eth1 setting in /etc/network/interfaces? I'm also trying to not use ufw and instead use my trusted script of ages that I call in /root/system/iptables.sh from /etc/rc.local. So far I have to reboot, route add default gw eth1, then /root/system/iptables.sh, for my router to work. [22:09] What am I doing wrong?! :D [22:09] unixbeard better ask in #ubuntu-server [22:09] TJ-, hes using wubi, theres no ubuntu partition to modify... [22:09] Thanks MonkeyDust! [22:10] vivid: Oh! OK, thanks. Easier then ever then! [22:10] TJ- I'm using WUBI, does that make like a 'virtual' partition or something, rather than a real one? [22:10] I don't know much about computers behind the scenes [22:10] Maksim, it makes a "virtual drive" which is a file on the windows partition [22:10] Maksim: no, in your case there's simply a file in the Windows NTFS file system [22:10] its slow in comparison to an actual drive [22:11] TJ- and vivid : then I should probably uninstall this and reinstall, huh? [22:11] using a livecD? [22:11] Maksim: I think your best bet is to dual boot after removing the wubi installation. [22:11] he may know a way to resize it [22:11] the thing is, i'd rather not having a slower worse version [22:11] I like ubuntu [22:12] then you would need to make room to really install to the drive [22:12] which can be dangerous if you dont know what youre doing. [22:12] Maksim wubi is a pseudo-installation inside windows [22:12] Maksim: yeah. the lived will detect the windows install and configure GRUB accordingly. its very user friendly [22:12] Maksim: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ResizeandDuplicateWubiDisk [22:12] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ResizeandDuplicateWubiDisk [22:12] TJ-: lol [22:12] * TJ- laughs! [22:12] SNAP! [22:12] this shit is too complicated [22:13] Hello... I would like to have "startx" automatically when I boot up the OS. Any link to where I could find out how to do this? [22:13] You think *that* is complicated? Boy! [22:13] Maksim: only the manual method id complicated [22:13] Maksim, yea well, catering to windows users is going to seem that way. imagine if you just wanted to use linux, you wouldnt have the issue [22:13] knob: Install any of the desktop environments and start normally, and X will start [22:14] Yes... X starts super at the moment with startx [22:14] sorry but you guys just gave me several directions (they may have converged to the same thing), can you point me to the ultimate one? Do I just follow the instructions in that link? [22:14] Linux always works well until you start to look into it :P [22:14] What I'd like is to have it start when I boot-up... without me having to login, then type startx [22:15] knob: sounds like you need a display manager [22:15] knob start from the beginning, what are you doing and what going wrong [22:15] what is going wrong* [22:16] Ok... if I boot-up the machine, she goes into the "login: " prompt. So I log in, all good. Then I'm at the prompt [22:16] I type startx , and x starts without a problem. [22:16] I would like to have x start automatically when I boot-up the computer [22:16] knob: install gdm3 kdm lightdm or something [22:16] best question at this point is to know which distro you're using? [22:16] backtrack [22:16] aha [22:16] there's the rub [22:16] TJ-: The link you put is to resize the wubi installation.. should I just uninstall and do real install with real partition isntead? Vivid said virtual drive is slower [22:16] knob not supported here [22:17] ok i have an ubuntu1204 system with one drive using lvm. How can i expand that onto a second drive if i cant expand a mounted partition? [22:17] exactly why i asked which distro it was [22:17] knob type /join #backtrack-linux [22:17] if you can't deal with terminal than please do not just backtrack :) === sergio_ is now known as Guest60422 [22:17] Thanks guys. I'm headed over there. [22:17] Maksim: If you want to keep on with Ubuntu then that would be best. [22:17] TJ-: any way to save all my stuff so that it'll have my files and programs? [22:17] Terminal is fine with me... yet would like to startx automatically. Something akin to what I have in my FreeBSD machines [22:17] when I reinstall..? [22:17] Yet I'll ask over there. =) thanks [22:18] you know what.. it's cool..i'll just throw them on a usb [22:19] grandal_prime: boot into recovery mode and do lvm pvcreate on the partition you want to add, the nadd it to the volume group with lvm vgcreate [22:19] Maksim: It is possible to simply copy the contents of the wubi virtual drive into a hard-drive partition, and set-up the boot-loader from there, but all in all, that would be too complicated for you I think :) [22:19] ok so in recovery mode the required partition is not mounted..got it thanks [22:21] If I download the oracle jdk (so I can code/ develop java) will I have to deal with upbading the system on what java version I'm using? [22:21] TJ-: haha, ok, thanks :0 [22:21] :) * [22:21] join ##lernid [22:21] I'm running 12.04 server with gnome [22:23] ClientAlive: You can install the openjdk-7-jdk and/or openjdk-6-jdk [22:23] ClientAlive: this is probably the cleanest way of installing oracle java if you absolutely need it over open jdk: https://github.com/flexiondotorg/oab-java6 [22:23] what's a good place to learn about partitions and stuff === jsjgruber is now known as Guest79792 [22:24] TJ-: ok. so what does the jdk give me? Simply the ability to compile and run java? [22:24] Maksim: Inside a virtual machine! Not on a real disk [22:24] !partition > Maksim [22:24] Maksim, please see my private message [22:24] okie thanks [22:25] ClientAlive: the JDK contains all the development tools (as opposed to the JREs) [22:25] TJ-: ok. Thx man. [22:29] botnet here [22:29] o.o === OFFLINE is now known as AdmiraL [22:34] how do i secure my system with apparmor === organiks is now known as InFeDeL === AdrianG is now known as AdrienG [22:35] it wasnt really a botnet [22:35] probably just one or two idiots [22:36] eilyx: I'd kind of like to know as well. [22:36] Also, if anyone can shed some light on how to make chromium work on guest sessions that would be great. [22:37] I'm led to believe that apparmor blocks the methods it uses to control its sandbox on accounts with guest privileves [22:37] hello, how can I drop to a shell from ubuntu 12.04? For some reason after upgrading unity is busted. I can't even start a terminal... so I'd like to see what's going on from the shell [22:37] I did cursory research on how to get apparmor to allow it but was unable to find much on the internet and unable to get it working via experimentation [22:37] lduros: single user mode? [22:38] Wug: guess so. from either lightdm or inside unity [22:38] quick guide on apparmor located here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AppArmor [22:38] Wug: Right now I'm in the lightdm loginn screen [22:38] not sure if that's single user [22:38] might not be [22:38] reboot, stop in grub, edit boot command, add "single" to the boot arguments [22:38] static09 thanks [22:38] Wug: what is it going to do? [22:38] http://askubuntu.com/questions/132965/how-do-i-boot-into-single-user-mode-from-grub [22:39] Wug: There's no ctrl + F1 or the like to get back to the shell? [22:39] it doesn't boot any further than a root prompt [22:39] youll be able to install and uninstall software, etc [22:39] very little will be running so there is very little chance for interference [22:39] hmm ok, for some reason I thought there would be a way with a keybinding. Alright, I'll try, thanks Wug [22:40] I'm already using the oracle jre. do I have to completerly remove that to install the jdk without any problems? [22:41] lduros: The log-file "/var/log/kern.log" contains reports from apparmor when things are DENIED, which may help you confirm things [22:41] ClientAlive: it might be a good idea to remove it, but openjdk should update alternatives when installed [22:42] ClientAlive: That would be the preferred approach, since the JDK provides the JRE, too. [22:42] I can put this in a beta channel if more appropriate if someone directs me to it, but my question is as follows. On Ubuntu 12.10 Beta 2, I can play MP3s located ON my computer, and I can play WAVs, AVIs, MP4s, etc located on a network share on a Windows computer. However, I can NOT play MP3s located on the network share. [22:42] hello! [22:42] I don't believe it's a permissions issue, as I can copy the MP3s on the network share onto my local computer and play them fine from there. [22:43] Question - what type of consequences might I be looking at if I stop a RAID "resyncing" process (mdadm)? One of the two HDDs are failing so I want to run in degraded mode, but after a reboot it's trying to sync up. Can I kill it without damaging the data on the remaining good HDD? [22:43] overclucker: ok. I just thought there might be a lot of stuff from the jre that get's clobbered. (Not that that would screw up the installation necessicarliy, just have to keep telling it got ahead and overwrite over and over a thousand times :) [22:43] ClientAlive: actually it wont get clobbered at all, they install to thier own directories === diamonds__ is now known as diamonds [22:44] how do i check nfs exports again? [22:44] hiya [22:44] I am having trouble printing [22:44] hi.. i have a simple query... how do I install infinity visualizer on audacious? i downloaded the file but cant figure out how to install and make it function [22:44] Oh also the streaming of MP3s worked perfectly on 12.04 yesterday :) [22:44] i may have missed the scroll [22:45] right on. What I gather though is I prolly should remove all java first then install the jdk and the iced tea plugin again. [22:45] ClientAlive: only symlinks to java, javac javaw, and so on get changed [22:45] I have an HP printer [22:45] it keeps all jobs at "pending" [22:46] http://pastie.org/pastes/5021310/text [22:46] printer state: Stopped - /usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed [22:47] ClientAlive: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java <-- has info on using update-alternatives to switch between versions [22:47] overclocker that does not work. recover mode boots me into ro [22:47] overclucker: I'm actually on that page ;) [22:47] test [22:48] ClientAlive: then you're on the right page ;) [22:48] :) [22:48] what the hell -> hp-check tells me I'm not in the correct group to manage printers [22:48] (i'm su'd to root) [22:48] anyone here used opendedup? [22:48] diamonds: Thats correct. Being root does not inherit group memberships. [22:49] how do I add user to group [22:49] last time I followed a bad article and removed myself from all other groups :) [22:49] diamonds: Check as the user who's printing. [22:49] so I'm more caustious this time [22:49] grandal_prime: then try a live cd. teh ubuntu live cd should work if you install the lvm2 package [22:49] bekks, ok [22:49] anyone here used opendedup? [22:50] ah I'm not in group lp [22:51] my exportfs shows the following but i keep getting access denied when trying to mount, [22:51] ~# exportfs [22:51] 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 [22:51] mounting from 192.168.1.50 [22:51] xibalba: NFSv3 or NFSv4? [22:52] good question, i think v3 since there is no auth. [22:52] how to confirm? [22:52] i see a nfsd4 service running along with nfsd [22:52] by mounting the share using -o vers=3 or something like that. [22:53] usermod -a -G lp diamonds [22:53] ^does this look like a safe way to add diamonds to the lp group? [22:53] bekks, trying [22:53] diamonds: yes [22:54] bekks, this is with OpenDeDup [22:54] diamonds: yup. the '-a' is the important switch you missed before, i think.

[23:08] installing hplip-gui allowed me to go to manager > printer control > "start printer" [23:08] * diamonds shrugs [23:08] xibalba: When exporting directories (on the server_ they have to be under the server's root (which is usually /srv/). Also, when mounting (on the client) the path has to be the exact same one on the server (e.g. if exportfs says "/srv/Library..." then the mount source will be "/srv/Library") [23:09] TJ-: right on. via update-alternatives... " it appears I'm using oracle's on my laptop but the open source on my desktop. Can you (or someone) tell me what you think of this method? http://youtu.be/RxLATpa8_OE [23:09] TJ-, oh weird i never knew that. i used to use NFS alot on BSd and I dont think that was the case. I will try again [23:10] xibalba: Well, now you've got me wondering, but I'm pretty sure that is how it gets configured on Debian/Ubuntu. I had to do "mount --rbind /home/Library /srv/Library" in fstab to do "/srv/Library" in exportfs [23:10] botsnack [23:10] Respite212: copy the contents onto it and set it to mount on /home in /etc/ftab [23:10] TJ-, seems to hang when i use that.

[23:14] ClientAlive: PPAs are good *provided* the packagers know what they are doing and don't create dependency conflicts for other packages on the system, over-write configuration files or links without using update-alternatives and so on. [23:14] Respite212: yes, but first mount it somewhere like /mnt and use sudo cp -aR /home/* /mnt [23:15] TJ-: I see [23:15] I think I'm gonna risk it for that desktop. Hope it doesn't screw me up, but what's shown in the vid looks pretty smooth. [23:16] ClientAlive, they are also good when ubuntu refuses to support or update certain things that people need [23:16] ClientAlive: generally, the convention is to install non-distro packages to /opt/ or locally-built packages to /usr/local/ so as not to conflict with the distro's system files [23:17] overclucker: doesn't work [23:17] TJ-: I see. Well that manual installation looked like a serious pain ;) [23:17] sudo cp -aR/home/* /mnt [23:17] cp: invalid option -- '/' [23:17] Try `cp --help' for more information.

[23:25] cron says in the log that it's kicked it off but I never see it in top and it sure takes more than a minute to run, so it must be having some kind of error on load that I can't repro from a full login env [23:26] Respite212: sudo nano /etc/fstab [23:26] pushcx: see if that change with the & at least gets you some you some output [23:26] jrib: sure, let you know in 20s :) [23:27] yeah, some kind of big python exception - thanks, jirb, now that I have debugging I can run it down.

[23:40] Gracenotes: the partner repo has what you need, it will install 64bit flash for your 64bit OS [23:40] jrib: ~$ groups ben adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare [23:41] goddard: if your drive IDE dies, where is your data? [23:41] bennypr0fane: and when you type "su - ben" can you login there? [23:41] Respite212: yup [23:41] overclucker: Thanks [23:42] jrib no, that doesn't work either [23:42] bennypr0fane: you're sure capslock is off? [23:42] actionParsnip: i have a external drive i back up to nightly [23:42] actionParsnip: ive never had to revert to that data so i have no idea how i would even do it [23:43] actionParsnip: yeah, I'm afraid that doesn't make a difference [23:43] actionParsnip: i use deja dup [23:43] goddard: i suggest you look into it, so that you can [23:43] ah well [23:43] jrib: yes, no capslock [23:43] bennypr0fane: well seems like your password was changed somehow then. Do you want to reset it? [23:43] I have a notification led if it's turned on [23:43] Gracenotes: have you tried chrome? [23:44] now can I reformat/repartition my original /home? [23:44] actionParsnip: it's even more messed up than FF. hm. [23:44] goddard: just cleared some temp files out from my home folder and it's now this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1268456/ [23:45] jrib I did make a change to user account settings: I turned off pasword at login, because I didn't want to be asked to unlock the keyring at startup. maybe that deleted my pwd and replaced it /w something else? [23:45] Gracenotes: it has flash built in if you install the deb from the google site :) [23:45] yep. well, it is pretty messed up. [23:45] Respite212: nope, it's just a folder. if you want to clear the data from it, reboot into recovery, make sure your new home isn't mounted and rm -R /home/* [23:45] bennypr0fane: you're on 12.04? [23:45] jrib yes, I'd like to reset it [23:45] goddard: mostt of it is my dropbox cace :) [23:45] I did get the deb straight from google, too [23:45] yes, 12.04 [23:45] Gracenotes: isn't it worth exploring though? [23:46] actionParsnip: I mean, it's mssed up on Chrome too. [23:46] bennypr0fane: if you want to reset your password, see ubottu [23:46] !password | bennypr0fane [23:46] bennypr0fane: Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords === Seednode_ is now known as Seednode [23:46] overclucker: Can't I use gparted to remove the partition? [23:46] Respite212: make sure you don't delete the files from your new home [23:47] Another thing is that there is clicking every so often when I use headphones. I think a larger issue, potentially, might be something messed up with the sound card. [23:47] I'm kinda freaked out. Is it possible I might have reset it by turning it off for login? [23:47] Gracenotes: I see, you weren't clear. Could download the 64bit flash plugin from the adobe site and put it into the browser's plugins folder [23:47] Gracenotes: I assume you closed all browsers and reopened it after installing the flash plugin [23:47] Respite212: was it on a partition before? I though you were moving it from root to a separate partition. [23:47] bennypr0fane: that's unlikely [23:47] bennypr0fane: maybe you chose the wrong option? [23:48] overclucker: No, it was on it's seperate partition but I want my /home on another harddrive. [23:48] jrib possible [23:48] actionParsnip: wouldn't that be the same one as in the partner repository? [23:48] Respite212: then yes you can use gparted for that [23:48] actionParsnip: haha mine is 90Gigs [23:48] problem is my UI is in German, so I'm not sure I'm translating to the correct terms of the English UI [23:48] after I installed adobe-flashplugin and uninstalled the other one, I logged out and back in again [23:49] goddard: here is my file server though: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1268463/ [23:49] overclucker: now is there a way to add the additional space from the sda4 to /sdb1/home [23:50] actionParsnip: not sure what to think of that [23:50] In "users", I have just my account, with an "admin" tag. For "login options" I have "none" at "password", and "automatic login" is "on" [23:50] Respite212: You could have mentioned that before you'll want lvm for that. [23:51] bennypr0fane: you probably removed that password with that "none" option, though I'm not sure [23:51] overclucker: Uhh, sorry, this is still new to me. [23:51] s/that/your [23:51] goddard: the data on my system is low so I can reinstall at will with near zero effort. The data I use and need is stored on a system which hasn't been reinstalled in years, and probably won't be until it dies. This is how I get my work done, as you say :) [23:52] jrib if I did remove it, I would now need to leave it blank when prompted, right? Bcs that doesn't work either, I checked [23:52] actionParsnip: dont applications need to save their data in your home directory? [23:52] actionParsnip: ah. loading up videos in totem, I have the same problem [23:52] Respite212: it's ok, you'll have to redo everything with some additional steps though [23:52] bennypr0fane: nah, you probably need to set one [23:52] Gracenotes: you can try Miro [23:52] bennypr0fane: I don't think blank passwords are allowed by default [23:53] goddard: yes, but its very small as you can see === Abbas5 is now known as Abbas- === Abbas- is now known as Abbas5 [23:53] oh. restarting alsa did some of the work. [23:53] overclucker: What happened was I wanted to add more space to /home originally because it was running out of space and I had a second sd harddrive the system wasn't using. [23:53] goddard: I even use transgui so that torrents are shipped to the file server with no effort :) [23:53] actionParsnip: i might have to see if i can implement something like that [23:53] jrib but I definitely didn't specify another one [23:53] this is just ridiculous though. In the last few days, I've had to restart alsa every hour or so [23:54] it didn't work to fix the problem I was having with flash, but apparently logging out and then restarting did the trick [23:54] goddard: makes sense to me, its what works for me. Its not best but I just find it easier. [23:54] so to set a new one, I guess I follow the instructions on that wiki pagE? [23:54] bennypr0fane: my advice is for you to reset it [23:54] bennypr0fane: yeah [23:54] ok [23:54] and there's still this clicking issue I have. [23:54] will try that, thanks jrib [23:54] hi [23:55] actionParsnip: i said when i got my new laptop a year ago i was going to spend some time and do it right but work keeps me to busy [23:56] Q: I want to install windows first before installing ubuntu in a new machine. I'm currently running ubuntu in my old machine, I used uNetbootIn to create a win7 boot usb drive, but it's not working. Anyone can sugest me a way for creating a usb boot ? Thanks for looking [23:57] shwaiil: For help with Windows ask in ##windows [23:57] IdleOne: I'm running ubuntu [23:57] tks for looking anyway [23:57] shwaiil: but you need help with Windows [23:57] IdleOne: no I need help on creating a boot usb from ubuntu [23:57] We do Ubuntu support. ##windows does Windows support. [23:58] http://77.51.249.86:8112 Free Playboy TV media stream [23:58] shwaiil: you can use unetbootin with a windows ISO using unetbootin. I believe you have to format the device to NTFS [23:58] !guidelines | N9NU [23:58] N9NU: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [23:58] how nice to find such a program [23:58] shwaiil: The tool you use to create the Windows USB is irrelevant. You need windows help and that is done in ##windows [23:58] hi [23:59] IdleOne: I'm sorry, but you're missing the point. I want to understand how I can create a usb boot [23:59] actionParsnip: tks for looking! I tried with fat, I'll try with ntfs thanks [23:59] is there an rsync option to delete a source file after successful (validated) transfer? === Abbas5 is now known as Abbas|
