[00:00] jrib before I go and reset, I just want to mention I just logged off and back on: I wasn't asked for a pwd to log on, but to unlock the keyring, and the old pwd still worked there [00:00] its not really what rsync is intended to do, i know ;) [00:00] Respite212: do you have somewhere to store a home backup wile the partitions are being modified? [00:00] bennypr0fane: yes, keyring is a separate password; you'd have to change it separately [00:01] jrib but the pwd for logging into the desktop session is also my root pwd? [00:01] overclucker: Hmmm I don't think so, my /home is rather large. [00:01] mr_t3: is there an option listed in the man page? [00:01] bennypr0fane: you don't have a root password. Sudo asks for your user's password [00:01] i have a question, is terminal based on python?? [00:02] ok, then sudo pwd [00:02] actionParsnip, i have not found one, but that does not implies that there is a possibility (dark evil hack) ;) [00:02] jrib is it the same as for session logon? [00:02] bennypr0fane: yes, that also asks for your user's password [00:03] jrib How can I get rid of the keyring/need to unlock it (is what I wanted to accomplish in the first place) [00:03] bennypr0fane: if it's the same as your user password and you don't use auto-login then it should unlock automatically. If you want to use auto-login then you need to use a blank keyring password [00:04] klaxtr, what you mean ? [00:04] jrib where do I specify whether or not to use auto-login? [00:04] Hi. I need to triple boot my computer. I've got Windows 7 and Ubuntu dual-booting right now. Can anyone point me to a guide telling me how to add a third OS? [00:04] bennypr0fane: the dialog you mentioned before [00:05] ms_daisy: what OS? [00:05] seems that terminal is based on python [00:05] klaxtr: what terminal? [00:05] i mean the way python works is very similar than python [00:05] backtrack jrib . [00:05] ubuntu terminal [00:06] ms_daisy: just install backtrack to its own partition and ubuntu's grub will find it when you run update-grub [00:06] klaxtr, you mean gnome-terminal [00:06] klaxtr, why you could say it? [00:06] klaxtr: the concept of terminals is a few decades older than the concept of python [00:06] That's the part I need guidance on jrib . How do I get it to install in its own partition? [00:06] Question: After merging two partitions with GParted Live, Ubuntu now thinks that I have a missing partition and it adds an extra dialog every startup "Unable to mount /blahblah ....". I have to press "S" to skip ahead when it does its endless search for the partition that isn't there. Anyone know how to tell Ubuntu to forget that partition? Or where in the filesystem the config is for mount on startup? [00:07] ms_daisy: do you have a free partition? [00:07] bnwkeys: check your /etc/fstab file [00:07] thanks [00:07] ms_daisy: you can resize ext4 in livecd, be sure to run a full backup before starting [00:07] klaxtr, i think gnome-terminal was written with gtk library [00:07] ciao [00:07] jrib: I actually don't remember ever being asked to specify a separate pwd for the keyring. The prompt *to unlock* the keyring just popped up and I entered my user pwd === Axlin_ is now known as Axlin [00:07] Respite212: it's more complicated, but you could setup lvm for your sda4, move the data back, setup lvm for sdb1, extend the volume, and then resize the filesystem, and set the volume as home in fstab. there are a lot of complicated steps though so it's up to you if you want to do it or not. [00:08] ubottu | fstab [00:08] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [00:08] bennypr0fane: I think initially it's just setup the same as your login, but if you change your login, it won't change automatically [00:08] list [00:08] Hi for all [00:08] Hello jean. [00:08] hi jean [00:08] bnwkeys check that link from ubottu, It should be helpful to you [00:09] overclucker: what is lvm? [00:09] !lvm | Respite212 [00:09] Respite212: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [00:10] !fstab | bnwkeys [00:10] bnwkeys: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [00:10] Respite212: it will basicall allow you to join the two partitions as one or a set of logical volumes [00:10] ha! I learned how to use ubottu [00:10] awesome [00:10] gonna go reset the damn pwd now [00:11] actionParsnip, jrib I currently have one windows boot partition, one windows partition, one windows recovery partition, and one extended partition with ubuntu & swap in it. So currently I do not have a free partition, I need to create one. [00:11] ms_daisy: have backups and use gparted to resize as actionParsnip suggested [00:11] overclucker: Oh.. logical volume management. [00:11] ms_daisy: you can resize your logical partitions [00:11] I am, it is very helpful, thank you benny [00:12] overclucker: Is it stable? [00:12] ciao [00:12] Respite212: yup [00:12] I have to do it from a live cd, right? I can't use gparted from the ubuntu installation? [00:12] list [00:12] ms_daisy: you may be able to extend your extended partition to enable you to make free space to install to [00:13] overclucker: If you got time to assist me with it, I'll give it a shot, never done something like this b4. [00:13] im learning python and seems that gnome terminal works as python, so i was wondering if gnome terminal had something of python code on it [00:13] Respite212: sure [00:13] ? [00:13] overclucker: Thanks much. [00:14] griffin? [00:14] klaxtr, you can drop to a python shell. Is that what you did? Bash !=python. [00:14] klaxtr: the shell can interpret scripts and so forth, you can run python code as you need [00:14] klaxtr: thats why bash scripts have #!/bin/bash at the top, python will have a python based line. [00:15] ciao ragazzi ma come funziona mIRC? [00:15] Respite212: first thing is to: sudo apt-get install lvm2 [00:15] list? [00:15] overclucker: Done [00:15] overclucker, thats way to install lvm2 tools to manipulate lvm [00:15] !italian | paoloktm [00:15] paoloktm: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [00:16] paoloktm: youcould use wine, why not use one of the many native clients [00:16] what i mean is that has similar logic on the way both work [00:16] python shell and gnome terminal [00:16] paoloktm: è possibile utilizzare wine, perché non utilizzare uno dei molti clienti nativi [00:16] klaxtr: gnome-terminal is just a way to access your shell, called bash. terminals don't do much, bash does. [00:17] klaxtr: you can use python in gnome-terminal [00:17] klaxtr, tehnically they were different thing === Cyberspaceloa is now known as Cyberspaceloafk [00:20] klaxtr: the interpretter is flexible [00:20] how can i used python in gnome-terminal? [00:21] klaxtr: the same way you use bash scripts [00:21] where is a umask set, is it per user, per folder, per group [00:21] or what? === gruber is now known as jsjgruber-x-p [00:21] as there re no stupid questions how you can use bash scripts [00:21] klaxtr: just start a text file with: #!/usr/bin/python and use python commands, it will run. You will need to make the text file executable [00:22] you can drop to a python shell inside of bash. I forget the command. Someone help me out. [00:22] Respite212: we need to set the partition type for /dev/sda4 to 8e; sudo cfdisk /dev/sda [00:22] klaxtr: when you run it, the interpretter will see you telling it to use python, and itwill be used [00:23] ms_daisy: "python" -_- [00:23] Respite212: navigate menu to sda4 and press t [00:23] derp [00:23] when you say #! this is literal [00:24] i mean after my user name [00:24] overclucker: It doesn't read sda4 for some reason [00:25] klaxtr, no. start the text file with the following line: [00:25] #!/usr/bin/python [00:25] klaxtr: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1268495/ for example [00:25] usr is not user. [00:25] Respite212: oh, that's right you deleted it. press n and add as a primary partition. then select it in menu and press t [00:26] overclucker: No, I didn't delete the partition it's still there [00:26] klaxtr: whack it in a text file, mark it as executable and you have a python script [00:26] Respite212: so sda4 is there? [00:26] i see [00:27] what applications are based on python in ubuntu does anyone knows? [00:27] overclucker: I see it in Gparted, but all I see in cfdisk is sda1 [00:27] Respite212: then close cfdisk with Q and use gparted. [00:28] overclucker: when I type in sudo cfdisk /dev/sda, it says unsupported GPT detected, using GNU parted. [00:29] hello e [00:29] veryone! [00:30] klaxtr: many [00:30] klaxtr, a lot of packages available, most of apt front end like usc i think use python [00:30] ok, maybe a browser?? [00:31] Klaxtr, guake, was drop down terminal written in python [00:31] klaxtr: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1268497/ [00:31] * actionParsnip loves guake [00:31] me too :d [00:32] wow, is safe to say that python it's pretty active [00:32] How would I most efficiently automate transfer of files from a local drive to a NAS (via smb or whatever)? essentially, I want to automatically copy all files uploaded to one directry to a directory on my NAS named whatever the CURRENT_DATE is [00:32] as a language [00:32] klaxtr: very [00:32] in which other applications is used now a days?? [00:33] i mean out of desktop enviroment [00:33] klaxtr: frets on fire is python based [00:34] klaxtr, i think python was integral part of open source [00:35] klaxtr: dropbox is python based too [00:35] gwibber [00:35] wow [00:35] ubuntu will stop developing in 2012, right? what will happen next? [00:35] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Python_software [00:35] klaxtr: it's not going to stop in 2012 [00:35] hi guys could anyone please advise me how I could do a disk image of a raid 1 setup (i have two drives hda and hdb in software raid 1) [00:36] actionParsnip thanx for the wiki link [00:36] echo -e "I\v\t\ts\v\tu\v\tc\v\tk\v\t\tc\v\to\v\tc\v\tk\v\t"'!' [00:36] isnt?, i thougth so... so is ubuntu on an on an on [00:36] Respite212: restart gparted and see if sda4 is stil lthere [00:37] i mean is ubuntu going to keep developing way more years? === imconfused is now known as grumbly [00:37] overclucker: It's there, all I did was reformatted the partition to get rid of the copied files. [00:37] klaxtr: should do, yes [00:37] Respite212: ok, right click sda4 and select manage flags [00:38] Each time I boot, I have the recovery menu. How to get rid of it? [00:38] overclucker: Select lvm I assume? === vjn_ is now known as vjn [00:38] Respite212: yup [00:39] overclucker: done [00:39] booh-: so you just want it to boot without showing options? [00:39] Respite212: now close gparted and open a terminal [00:39] I don't know, since I upgrade some month ago, each time I boot, I have the recovery menu. I choose "resume" and all is booting normaly. [00:39] trent286, why do you want to do a disk image instead of a regular backup? [00:39] i thougth i read somewhere on ubuntu page that they will stop on 2012? [00:40] Good evening all... Is there a file that has the programs/packages that are installed on a system? I'm upgrading an old laptop to a new one, I want to get a list from the old one, to see what needs to be done to the new one. [00:40] klaxtr: no, Quantal is supported for 18 months after release, it will continue for a long long time to come [00:40] klaxtr: ya, companies say they're gonna fail in advance of actually failing... you didn't read that. [00:41] cornell, yoyu can make aptitude generate a list.. but dont use aptitude for much more. [00:41] !clone [00:41] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this currently may cause problems with multiarch) - See also !automate [00:41] cornell: sudo dpkg --get-selections ; will list all currently installed packages. [00:41] You could tweak the command in that factoid to make a simple list. but DONT use aptitude to install stuff like the 2nd half says. [00:41] booh-: what is on the screen when you have to select 'resume'? [00:41] we need a better clone factoid someday. ;) [00:41] Respite212: I forgot to tell you to apply the changes, I hope you're doing that. [00:42] Dr_willis: you can revise the factoid yourself ;) [00:42] I don't remember... I'm in gnome now.. [00:42] Thanks Dr_willis and ejv [00:42] cornell: therefore you could do: sudo dpkg --get-selections > installed.txt [00:42] actionParsnip, i just reinstall stuff as i need :) that way i end up not reinstlling cruft [00:42] actionParsnip: Dr_willis there is currently no "good" method to clone packages... :( [00:42] overclucker: All I did was flag lvm to my sda4 [00:43] booh-: is it this: http://www.dedoimedo.com/images/computers_new_2/grub2-dual-boot-in-grub2.png or similar? [00:43] hey guies [00:43] If im doing a dozen machines (or a few) i make a script with all the 'apt-get install whatever' :) packages i normally want [00:43] hows everyone doing? [00:43] Respite212: If you didn't apply the changes, you'll have to go back and do it again [00:43] Is there a different way to do the install on the second machine?. I could manually go through the list, but a single command is better... [00:43] Dr_willis: could use puppet :) [00:43] actionParsnip, no [00:43] mmm good idea dr_w [00:43] sudo apt-get install a penis [00:43] :D [00:43] Good idea Dr_willis [00:44] Why do you guys use Ubuntu when you can use gentoo? [00:44] overclucker: What changes did you mean? [00:44] booh-: can you take a shot with a camera of some kind so we can see the screen [00:44] actionParsnip, http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/_media/recoverymode-menu.png [00:44] booh-: ahhhhh [00:44] Respite212: marking lvm in manage flags menu of gparted [00:44] each time I boot.. [00:44] booh-: if you boot to liveCD, I suggest you fsck your partition [00:45] overclucker: Do I still need to do this? /dev/sda4 to 8e; sudo cfdisk /dev/sda? [00:45] Gues [00:45] guies [00:45] talk to me or ill cry [00:45] exit [00:45] darkwizard: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:45] Respite212: nope we are doing taht with gparted instead [00:45] ok I try [00:45] overclucker: Yeah, I did the lvm management flag with gparted for sda4 already, just waiting at the terminal. [00:47] In additional drivers, for video, I have a lot of choices... version 173, version 173-updates, version current, version current-updates, version experimental-304. Which one to choose? [00:47] I need some linux help, but ##linux is not being supportive...I need to move files from a local directory to a NAS. these files need to be uploaded to a directory on the NAS with the current date. files are uploaded via FTP to an upload directory throughout the day and are generally between 500 and 4000mb, [00:47] Is there a channel specifically for 12.10 beta? [00:47] Respite212: ok do: sudo pvcreate /dev/sda1 [00:47] k1gwb: #ubuntu+1 [00:47] Two questions... the sudo dpkg --get-selections lists package names and "install", except one says "deinstall". What does the install/deinstall mean? [00:47] zykotick9: thanks [00:48] overclucker: /dev/sda1 is my boot partition. [00:48] Respite212: right, i meant 4 [00:48] What happens if I use that list to install stuff, and some are already installed? [00:48] Respite212, FYI, you don't have to have a separate boot partition [00:48] cornell: it will be updates [00:48] updated [00:48] cornell: why dont you try using aptitude or some other apt frontend? [00:48] !aptitude | grumbly [00:48] grumbly: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and higher) as aptitude cannot currently handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. [00:49] oh... nevermind [00:49] overclucker: Done. [00:49] psusi: Doesn't hurt. [00:49] zykotick9: I realized what I suggested after i noticed dpkg... I am a preoccupied right now [00:50] grumbly: Because two folks have already recommended against using aptitude [00:50] Respite212: then sudo vgcreate vol /dev/sda4 [00:50] hi, is there a way to make ubuntu behave less like a tablet, eg. moving the file menu back to the top of each opened window.. [00:50] Yeah, what ubottu said ;-) [00:50] cornell: see my above statement [00:50] skulltip: install a different DE [00:50] overclucker: done. [00:51] what is a de? [00:51] cornell: in any case, I am in need of other help... sorry to butt in pointlessly [00:51] skulltip: sorry "desktop enviornment" like gnome/kde/xfce/lxde type thing [00:51] And... What does the install/deinstall mean? [00:51] cornell: I will look to see! brb === Guest66142 is now known as McPeter [00:52] cornell: taken straight from the man pages, gimme a sec to paste [00:53] cornell: Deinstall I am in need of some help...

Update Manager keeps saying that release 12.04.1 LTS is available... My new laptop has it already, I don't like it. But I guess I'm going to have to bite the bullet eventually. Any comments from folks who thought they wouldn't like 12.04? [00:54] cornell: I dont like gnome, so I can't say for the standard installation, but I find Kubuntu to be quite nice [00:54] Ah, thanks grumbly... man page for dpkg? [00:54] cornell, "like"? [00:55] cornell: yes, the man page for dpkg. it's about a page in.

[00:55] DeucesWildCatch2: It's a volunteer community driver irc channel [00:56] zacarias: ask in #ubuntu+1 [00:56] hello, i have a big problem here, i cant get vaio motion eye fz250fe, can someone help me please? [00:56] I am just THAT NEW.. I had to ask. So Ubunto tech support.. Well, I am as rookie as they come I suppose. I dont even have an ubunto for dummies book yet [00:56] rushiop: does it work in cheese?

"tablet" nature of 12. I like menus, am familier with them. 12 seems so ... foreign. Not that I'm against change, but sometimes change isn't for the best. [00:56] no [00:56] Can anyone tell me whether it will cause problems adding repos for an older version of Ubuntu to my sources.list? [00:56] DeucesWildCatch2: ubuntu, not ubunto [00:56] overclucker: Done. [00:56] OH SNAP. thank you [00:56] farrioth: YES. don't try to mix releases! [00:56] overbythere, Respite212, why setup LVM if you are just going to make a single volume with all of the space?

I need to move files from a local directory to a NAS. these files need to be uploaded to a directory on the NAS with the current date. files are uploaded via FTP to an upload directory throughout the day and are generally between 500 and 4000mb, [00:57] psusi: Hmm? because the empty spaces are on seperate hard drives. [00:57] basically, I am not sure where to start [00:57] cornell, you can choose to use the old style shell, or gnome-shell instead of unity... I rather like gnome-shell [00:57] That's ok, DeucesWildCatch2, everyone was a newbie once. Some of even remember when, and try to help newbies... like the folks here :-) [00:57] zykotick9: If I need an older version of a package, is there a better way than than using dpkg -i and sorting out the deps myself? [00:58] Q: Installed Gparted but its not shown on Applications. Where can I find it ? Tks [00:58] Respite212, ahh, so you're using it to concatenate two drives of different size/speed? [00:58] So, i was just given a laptop with ubuntu on it, I am trying to dd however i have one hard drive with triboot capabilities... multiple partitions.. I promised i would clean it before i used it.. [00:58] shawiil: terminal sudo gparted [00:58] psusi: Choosing the old shell... when, how? On installation, or switch it after installation? [00:58] farrioth: compile from source would be another option. trying to use old packages, silly imo. best of luck. [00:58] hello all...Id like to have your opinion....I'm trying to install ubuntu and it never succed to install the application part...i was able to install the first part, the gnome.... have any idea?? [00:58] Respite212: sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/vol/home [00:58] cornell, log out, choose the other shell, log in [00:58] psusi: using the exact same hard drives, same speed. same everything [00:59] Respite212, then you should raid them... get faster performance then [00:59] zykotick9: I need old packages because new packages are buggy/missing... [00:59] psusi: after I first installed, there wasn't an option... I'd installed another...kubuntu or something, and then I got two choices. [00:59] thanks cornell. [00:59] farrioth: i'd suggest you are using the wrong distro then... [00:59] Respite212: thanks a lot [01:00] Is it possible to mount a directory on a NAS and make it persistent? [01:00] shwaiil: np, gparted need root access so you need to sudo it. [01:00] zykotick9: I am, but I can't be bothered setting up everything from scratch once again. All my hardware is working now... [01:00] persistent being It comes back on its own after rebooting [01:01] psusi: Ummm I never did raid. [01:01] DeucesWildCatch2: Now, myself... I've been using linux for... ugh 20 years? 15 at least. But I don't get into the gory bits often enough... so I'm kind of an old-newbie. [01:01] overclucker: Done [01:01] grumbly: After rebooting the NAS or the system it's mounted on? [01:01] grumbly: Can't you just add it to your fstab? [01:01] either [01:01] psusi: And I have so much stuff on my hard drives I don't want to reinstall/update/reconfigure everything. [01:01] an old newbie, interesting way to put it. [01:01] farrioth: both... either... [01:01] Respite212, shwaiil: gksudo gparted [01:02] bobo37773: I am not sure. if I can, I don't know how [01:02] perhaps you are ready to get gory?? [01:02] Id like to have your opinion....I'm trying to install ubuntu and it never succed to install the application part...i was able to install the first part, the gnome.... have any idea?? [01:02] I've never done a remote mount point in fstab before === Raccoon` is now known as Raccoon [01:02] overclucker: what is gksudo ? [01:02] Respite212, you don't have to reinstall... just use mdadm instead of lvm to set up the two drives [01:02] psusi: Is there a DM that I can install that is gnome? I don't suppose it's called gnome. [01:02] shwaiil: see "/msg ubottu gksudo" [01:02] Respite212: sudo mount /dev/vol/home /mnt; sudo cp -aR /home/* /mnt [01:03] grumbly: Yeah that may be strange since network needs to be up. Pretty good point. There must be some kind of new equilent in upstart for rc.local [01:03] shwaiil: kind of like a windowed sudo, instead of a normal terminal sudo. [01:03] gksudo | shwaiil [01:03] oh ok [01:03] grumbly: fstab if the system it's mounted on is rebooted. For the other way round... you could run an ssh server on the system where the directory is mounted and get the NAS to ssh in and mount itself on boot. [01:03] thanks [01:03] !gksudo | shwaiil [01:03] shwaiil: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [01:03] cornell, gnome-shell is the new gnome 3d shell [01:03] when i type "sudo fdisk -1" i get the reply " fdisk: invalid option - -1 [01:03] grumbly: How are you mounting it now? Maybe you can create either a cronjob or a rule or something to load it after boot [01:03] Yeah, what ubottu said. [01:03] cornell, iirc, the old 2d style fallback is installed by default [01:03] DeucesWildCatch2: L not 1 [01:03] Boy that ubottu is a clever guy ;-) [01:04] farrioth: I don't need to move files from the nas back... why would I have the NAS ssh in? [01:04] bobo37773: I;m not... i'm over SMB [01:04] L? for listing? [01:04] DeucesWildCatch2: -l for list [01:04] * grumbly is a bad sysadmin [01:04] hmm [01:04] DeucesWildCatch2: lowcase L, not 1 (sorry wasn't clear 1st time) [01:05] overclucker: Thanks for the gksudo command. I didn't know. [01:05] i try this guide http://secondpulse.blogspot.com/2012/06/how-to-install-motioneye-driver-in.html but didnt work [01:05] grumbly: So it can mount itself once it comes back online. The other option to to poll (on the client) to see when it goes down and then to see when it comes back up and then mount it. [01:05] grumbly: :P Not sure exactly how it works but I am assuming it still uses mount (not alot experience with SMB). Learn how to mount it in the shell and then write a rule to do it at startup. That's it really. Should be [01:06] overcluckers: Done, but got error cp: cannot stat `/home/username/.gvfs': Permission denied [01:06] ok. now i did do that afterwards. response is quite intense. since i am trying to wipe the whole lappy which would i choose if partition table entries are not in disc order? [01:07] Respite212: What are you trying to do with gvfs? [01:07] If I upgrade this machine to 12, I assume that gnome-shell will remain. [01:07] I am using my asus as I am trying to do this on the HP i was given [01:07] farrioth: OH YOU GENIUS!!! the NAS is a storebought one, so I don't know if I can do the SSH login... which would be pretty cool... could you explain the other idea more and how I would go about ths? [01:07] enyone have a vaio vgn fz250fe? [01:08] Respite212: Are you trying to backup information to restore it somewhere else using cp? Use rsync [01:08] anyone had time to read my problem? [01:08] Just call me Deuce. [01:09] ann-sophie: Can you elaborate a little bit more? [01:09] ann-sophie: what is the problem you're having? [01:09] Id like to have your opinion....I'm trying to install ubuntu and it never succed to install the application part...i was able to install the first part, the gnome.... have any idea?? [01:09] grumbly: Can you log in to the NAS over ssh at the moment? [01:09] my lappy shows /dev/sda1-6 and states partition table entries are not in disc order.. All i want to do is wipe this laptop. [01:10] farrioth: no... i'm not at that network at the moment [01:10] and if i book unto ubuntu...I get a prompt..similar to a msdos windows [01:10] ann-sophie: what do you mean it never installs the applications? [01:10] someone can help me with my motion eye cam vaio vgn fz250fe? [01:10] i get a error message telling it failed the install [01:11] ann-sophie: By elaborate I meant explain a little better not copy and paste the same thing you typed already :| Like what do you mean by the application part? [01:11] ann-sophie: what is the name of the disk image are you trying to install from? [01:11] i have a acer notebook [01:11] ubuntu-12.04.1-alternate-amd64 [01:11] grumbly: Can you usually, though? If you can then we'll go with having the NAS mount itself; if not, I'll explain the polling option. [01:11] is the iso i have [01:11] ann-sophie: try using a different iso file. [01:12] ann-sophie: did you MD5 test the ISO? [01:12] ann-sophie: I assume that your Acer is 64 bit [01:12] rushiop: did the device show in the output of lsusb? [01:12] Never mind the light just turned on.. i get it now.. [01:12] actionParsnip i dont recall [01:12] farrioth: I have honestly never tried. It hasn't really been used for anything, then today, boss said "hey, why don't you automate this file stuff" and I said "uhhh... OK" [01:12] yes Corey [01:12] oups cornell [01:13] ann-sophie: then I suggest you recheck it to be sure [01:13] ;-) [01:13] oki, [01:13] ann-sophie, that "alternate" iso is not the standard download for desktop users. (unless you want to setup raid with it) [01:13] grumbly: Okay, let's go with the polling. I'll write a script and get back to you in a few mins. [01:13] ann-sophie, (but it uses the same online repositories for the packages-- but the "installer" may appear a bit different) [01:13] no..i want to try ubuntu... [01:13] what is the device name of te hard drive in ubuntu ? [01:13] farrioth: you, senator, are a generous man. [01:14] ok..so ill download the i386? [01:14] ann-sophie, the "alternate" in the name of the iso file.. isn't the "standard" desktop (be it 32bit or 64bit) [01:15] Is it the "disc identifier" [01:15] but... jagginess do i have to "unistall" [01:15] ann-sophie, the installer may look a bit different.. and i have no clue on the latest.. but i can give you a link for the standard amd64 (64 bit, which is also use for intel-- intel uses the amd64 iso of course) [01:15] psusi - because I want to virtualise the physical machine. So first I create a raw image, then perform P2V process. [01:15] ann-sophie, but sounds like you had "somewhat" of a success.. how far are you into the install? [01:15] I need help [01:15] Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS 64 bit is the good one? [01:16] psusi - i am virtualising the machine so that I can simulate and document a major upgrade, work out the bugs before I go live [01:16] help please with my webcam vaio [01:16] Someone please help me ipe my hard drive on this machine? I just want to clean it and use it as a learnind device for ubuntu before i switch all of my other computers to it. [01:16] ann-sophie, which mirror country can i look into? (i mean the download would be faster to you) [01:16] I am running windows 7 as my main operating system [01:16] !enter | steveGODSchild [01:16] steveGODSchild: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [01:17] jaghing s well..Gnome is intalled...im able to choose to boot with ubuntu or windows...if i boot windows every goes well...ubuntu..i fall on a prompt line [01:17] jab416171|Cloud im in canada [01:17] and running ubuntu 12.04 in virtual box [01:17] ann-sophie, any "errors" ? [01:18] im currently stuck trying to figure out my hard drives name [01:18] but my cd rom will not work [01:18] deuceswildcatch2: I believe it's sudo blkid [01:18] jagginess besside the errors telling that the application part has failed [01:18] what does that stand for? [01:18] ann-sophie, what's the name of this "application", is it grub? [01:18] block id? [01:19] before the grub install [01:19] Thanks Respite i was trying too hard to get some help.. [01:19] deuceswildcatch2: I believe it lists out the UUID for all your partitions and drives. [01:19] after i install the grub and it works [01:19] ann-sophie, sounds like you're using wubi [01:19] Respite212: ok now add /dev/vol/home or it's UUID to the home line in fstab [01:20] rushiop: if you can pastebin the output of: lsusb; lsb_release -a we can advise [01:20] wubi? im a major noob...and a girl...dont go to techno bable with me [01:20] ann-sophie, so you stay "stucked" in grub? [01:21] grub works... [01:21] ann-sophie, btw, do you know what grub is? [01:21] pretty well [01:21] DeucesWildCatch2: when you say you need to ind your hard drive's name, do you mean the device id or do you mean what you called it? [01:21] ann-sophie, ok.. so you're saying the thing "before" grub is problematic. I don't see what that can be. [01:21] its the thing that lets me boot in windows or ubuntu [01:21] Respite212, thank you what is the significanse of "swap" or ext4" [01:21] ann-sophie, did you change anything in grub.cfg? [01:21] ill restart and installtion...and and not exactly [01:22] note* [01:22] deuceswildcatch2: swap is for additional space for ram during sleep mode, ext4 is the file extention. [01:22] what is the message [01:22] I can type, although tired I apologize. [01:22] ann-sophie, there's wubi and non-wubi.. are you "able" to login into the ubuntu command line? [01:22] overclucker: is it the /dev/vol/home or the actual sda4 uuid? [01:23] trent286, you going to convert the raw image to a qcow2 image? [01:24] Grumbly, while using ehow, it gave instructions to Wipe a hard drive by typing "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=device bs=1M" into the "Terminal" window, replacing "device" with the device name of the hard drive and pressing "Enter." [01:24] overclucker: I got 2, one is for the /dev/sda4 uuid, the other is /dev/mapper/vol-home [01:24] However I am unsure of what the device name could be. [01:24] DeucesWildCatch2: ah! there are several ways to get this info! in the terminal, you can type mount [01:25] psusi - most likely run virtualbox tool - something like : $sudo dd if=/dev/sda | VBoxManage convertfromraw stdin MyLinuxImage.vdi [01:25] DeucesWildCatch2: look for something like /dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-no) [01:26] trench_, then you can skip the raw image and covert directly from the hd to the vdi [01:26] DeucesWildCatch2: it may not be exactly that, but the important part is / [01:26] https://bitbucket.org/ahixon/r5u87x wont work, im done, i already use all i have to try make this webcam work, i dont know what to do [01:26] DeucesWildCatch2: it may not be exactly that, but the important part is the stuff "/dev/sda1 on / " [01:26] psusi - so if i power the machine off, boot to live CD and then do something like the above it should be okay? [01:26] i found on similar to that except it was (rw,errors=remount-ro) [01:27] what is the whole line: [01:27] ? [01:27] psusi - i thought the fakeraid would get in the way of dd [01:27] well the same for what you put except it was dev/sda5 [01:27] trent286, you shouldn't even need to use dd... you should be able to point vboxmanage directly to the drive... fakeraid just means you need to use the /dev/mapper raid device instead of the individual disks [01:27] Respite212: its /dev/mapper/vol-home [01:28] Oh... you're partition scheme is weird. was this a wubi install? [01:29] grumbly: http://dpaste.com/811370/ [01:29] DeucesWildCatch2: ignore that... What is it you want to do exactly? are you trying to format a drive or change the partition scheme or just erase some data? [01:29] overclucker: I got 2 home lines in fstab [01:29] grumbly: Change the first three variables, and perhaps the sleep timeouts. === Cyberspaceloafk is now known as Cyberspaceloa [01:30] grumbly: Then let me know if it doesn't work or if any of the script doesn't make sense. [01:30] I am just trying to wipe the drive cleaning every thing on it, so that this lappy can be used for learning not only ubuntu but as a teaching aid for my 6 year old. [01:30] farrioth: THANK YOU! I will.. it will be tomorrow around this same time [01:30] # /home was on /dev/sda4 during installation UUID=be5f9224-86dd-473d-8874-e3bb7f4eff7b /home & /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 none swap sw 0 0 UUID=657c3a11-60ac-47d7-af6b-367e08903029 /home ext4 nodev,nosuid 0 2 [01:30] psusi - ok I must have over-read the info and issues relating to software raid 1 and the dd tool. Will give it a go with: sudo dd if=/dev/md0 | VBoxManage convertfromraw stdin MyLinuxImage.vdi [01:31] grumbly, i have a disc to start ubunto on after everything is wiped [01:31] DeucesWildCatch2: AH!!!! OK!!!! when you boot the computer, boot off the CD or USB. while there, just repartition the drive. all the data will be essentailly gone. [01:31] trent286, as I said before, you don't need dd at all... just sudo VBoxManage convertfromraw /dev/mapper/whatever MyLinuxImage.vdi [01:31] uit [01:32] ok... using ubuntu... how do i do that ? [01:32] psusi - aha! [01:32] psusi - sorry [01:32] I put the disc in and I shut it down and when it restarted everything was the same. [01:32] press f2 or f12 during the startup cycle, to get a one time boot menu [01:32] DeucesWildCatch2 ^^ [01:32] Yes canukian? [01:32] read my comment right before that [01:33] Respite212: you can remove the other home line [01:33] trent286, one thing... where is MyLinuxImage.vdi going to go? [01:33] hmm, during the boot up? [01:33] do it right when your hardware logo shows up. [01:33] psusi - onto a spare disk connected to the localbus [01:33] overcluckers: which one? the first or second? [01:33] grumbly: You're welcome. Just checking you got my private message? [01:34] farrioth: just saw it [01:34] farrioth: thank you a lot [01:34] grumbly: No problem. [01:35] Respite212: the oen with the UUID for /dev/mapper/vol-home [01:35] overclucker: I add it like this right? #UUID=164bf67f-3eea-429f-b6f3-e943bd05c917 /home ext4 nodev,nosuid 0 2 [01:36] canukian i have a flashing line on a black screen and a disc that sounds like it is trying to read [01:36] Respite212: there should be no #, # marks a line as a comment [01:36] upon pushing F2 it sent me to a disc screen but it would onl test it [01:37] DeucesWildCatch2: what video chip do you use. === Dad_ is now known as Guest27794 [01:38] Canukian, how long is it supposed to stay black and sound like the disc is turning. [01:39] overclucker: Ok done. [01:39] overclucker: Do I restart? [01:39] Anybody use update manager to upgrade to 12.04? Go smoothly? [01:39] actionparsnip on this asus i use a, ATI Radeon HD 4670 Graphics chip 1gb dedicated ram [01:40] DeucesWildCatch2: try the boot option: nomodeset === dave_ is now known as davep [01:41] am i using a terminal to get that boot option or restarting the machine again? [01:41] !bootoption [01:41] For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions See also !nomodeset. [01:41] See i told you I was new to Ubuntu. [01:42] Respite212: still need to add the other partition [01:43] thank you ubottu [01:43] overclucker: Ok. Im curious, did my /home get moved to the sda4 yet? [01:43] im still waiting for the booting of ubuntu, man this thing is taking forever....... [01:44] Respite212: sorta. it was moved to /dev/vol/home which is a logical volume. the data is on that disk [01:45] overclucker: hmm ok. What do I do now for the sdb1? [01:45] Respite212: now the other partition needs the lvm flag set in gparted [01:46] overclucker: done that [01:46] DeucesWildCatch2: try pressing CTRL+ALT+F1 do you get a prompt? [01:46] Quick question, is there an easy way to determine if a given version of ubuntu will be compatible with a given hardware setup? [01:46] Respite212: sudo pvcreate /dev/sdb1 [01:46] overclucker: Should I reformat it first? [01:47] acolytetojippity: run it in liveCD [01:47] That works fine. [01:47] But the actual install doesn't. I'm trying to boot from a portable hard drive [01:47] It works perfectly on the computers we use in class, but not on my personal machine [01:48] acolytetojippity: are they different computers (make / model)? [01:49] overclucker: sudo pvcreate /dev/sdb1 and I got "Can't open /dev/sdb1 exclusively. Mounted filesystem?" [01:49] Is there any chance you guys could stop taking out the good posts of your OS? First you dropped Pidgin for Empathy which to be perfectly honest is lame. Now your shopping the alternate install disc so I can't set up with RAID or full disc encryption. What's going on? [01:49] @actionParsnip: yes they are. [01:49] Good parts* [01:49] Emanon: I use pidgin. I'm using it now [01:49] acolytetojippity: thats probably why then. What happens when you try to boot? [01:50] Emanon: its not dropped at all [01:50] Emanon: I'm having the same issue after upgrading from lucid to precise. I'd be using Mint instead but I can't be bothered configuring everything from scratch again. [01:50] On a side note: sorry for the misspellings I hate auto correct. [01:51] !info pidgin quantal | Emanon [01:51] Emanon: pidgin (source: pidgin): graphical multi-protocol instant messaging client for X. In component main, is optional. Version 1:2.10.6-0ubuntu1 (quantal), package size 680 kB, installed size 2172 kB [01:51] actionparsnip, it just popped up with a try ubuntu or install ubunto.. did that do it? [01:51] Emanon: its even in the next release [01:51] DeucesWildCatch2: Try Ubuntu [01:51] !info libindicate-qt0 [01:51] Package libindicate-qt0 does not exist in precise [01:52] !find libindicate [01:52] Found: libindicate-dev, libindicate-doc, libindicate-gtk-dev, libindicate-gtk0.1-cil, libindicate-gtk0.1-cil-dev, libindicate-gtk3, libindicate-gtk3-dev, libindicate-qt-dev, libindicate-qt1, libindicate0.1-cil (and 3 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libindicate&searchon=names&suite=precise§ion=all [01:52] Aww, I put install, [01:52] Right, it's not the default. That was my point. [01:52] dang it. [01:52] @parsnip grub yells at me, about unknown filesystem? [01:52] DeucesWildCatch2: either is fine [01:52] Empathy should be optional because it sucks. [01:52] Emanon: it is, you have the option to remove it [01:52] Emanon: think about it [01:53] Funny... [01:53] Emanon: how so? [01:53] Emanon: its not a mandatory package, it can be removed. You have that option [01:53] In a sarcastic fashion. [01:53] Emanon: its not, i'm telling you how your OS works [01:53] Or did you mean the diving part? [01:53] actionParsnip: I use kmail, and the version shipped with precise is slow and buggy. I'd like to use the older version which doesn't use akonadi etc., but it has been dropped from the repos, so I'm having to sort out deps by hand. [01:53] Sucking* [01:54] Emanon: I hate firefox, but I remove it and promptly install the browser I prefer [01:54] I am at a screen that gives me th options to install ubuntu alongside them, erase disc and install ubuntu or something else..Sine my hard drive is partitioned for a triboot. and i am just wanting to erase everything else is it going to completely alter the entire hard drive? [01:54] if you erase everything, it will erase EVERYTHING [01:54] And what about the alternate install disc? Is that getting dropped? [01:55] so i would need to repartition theHD? [01:55] Emanon: seems so http://news.softpedia.com/news/Canonical-Drops-Alternate-CDs-from-Ubuntu-12-10-289338.shtml [01:55] Lame. [01:56] DeucesWildCatch2, if you choose erase, it will wipe out any existing partitions [01:56] Emanon: Lubuntu has an alternate ISO [01:56] Emanon: but you knew that [01:56] DeucesWildCatch2, "something else" allows you to do "manual" partitioning and is the safest way to do it if you want to keep existing partitions [01:56] Canukian, as this was given to me, I am ok with that, i was just hoping to delete everything that was done in Ubuntu without having to repartition the drive.. if that is what i need to do than I can work with that. [01:57] DeucesWildCatch2, ... [01:57] DeucesWildCatch2, ... [01:57] Emanon: anything else you want to rant about? [01:57] DeucesWildCatch2, ubuntu's option "something else" allows you to do manual partitioning. [01:57] jagginess i can completely wipe out documents and pictures that were used on the ubuntu os partition? [01:57] But I actually like unity. Lxde isn't good. [01:57] DeucesWildCatch2, i think you missed the 'upgrade' option, ubuntu is able to upgrade itself from cd, if you already have ubuntu installed [01:58] Emanon: then install Unity as you wish, if the alternate ISO is SOOOO important to you [01:58] my sidter gave me this and it was given to her b her ex. i just found out it has open VPN.. so, i guess i will just wipe it and repartition it. [01:58] actionParsnip do I know you from another channel? [01:58] DeucesWildCatch2, you can wipe out everything, but there's a more convenient tool for doing this, it's gparted live cd (from sourceforge) [01:58] oh alright I am sitting up now, I am so sorry for the typos [01:59] Emanon: just here, I also #ubuntu+1 and #ubuntu-offtopic [01:59] sourceforge. [01:59] DeucesWildCatch2: in that case, do as jagginess said and do manual partioning [01:59] DeucesWildCatch2, http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [01:59] partitioning* [01:59] Emanon, You attract snarky comments? [02:00] Hmm. Thought I might have seen you in rant radio. [02:00] DeucesWildCatch2, if you want a dualboot, you should install windows first,, the ubuntu install can automatically add a windows menu item to it's boot loader [02:00] Emanon: no idea what that even is, sorry [02:00] sudo pvcreate /dev/sdb1 -> "Can't open /dev/sdb1 exclusively. Mounted filesystem?" Anyone got a solution to this? [02:00] Respite212: is /dev/sdb1 mounted? [02:00] yeah [02:00] Respite212: then that's why [02:01] Respite212: ah that's right you have that mounted as /home right now. [02:01] It's ok it's somewhat obscure. [02:01] actionParsnip: I can't unmount it either [02:01] Respite212: you can do stuff in liveCD/USB then [02:02] Respite212: its in use so you wont. liveCD will free the device [02:02] actionParsnip: What is livecd? [02:02] Respite212: the thing you installed the OS with, you can boot to that and get an OS that runs in RAM [02:03] so I got to boot from usb? [02:05] overclucker: Err, what should I do now? boot from usb and try to configure the sdb1 drive? [02:05] Respite212: yes, it will free up the file system and you can do as you like [02:05] overclucker: actionParsnip Respite212 I've read-back but missed the actual config of the system. I may be wrong, but would it be possible to put off converting sdb1 to a PV until after rebooting? [02:05] Could someone give me the name of a good systray volume applet without too many deps? [02:06] farrioth, maybe you can use the console's alsamixer [02:06] farrioth: sudo apt-get --reinstall install indicator-sound [02:06] farrioth, look for 'mixer' or 'volume' in synaptic or apt-cache search [02:07] farrioth: https://code.google.com/p/volti/ [02:07] * jagginess is tihnking farrioth is using a lightweigth windowmanager [02:07] jagginess: I can change volume with alsamixer, but I'd like something in the systray. [02:07] jagginess: Yes, openbox. [02:07] gotta love openbox [02:08] farrioth, i'm sure there's a few.. you'll have to poke around, or maybe ask someone on #openbox [02:08] farrioth, (#linux people must know) [02:08] jagginess: Good idea, thanks. [02:09] TJ-: that's probably the only thing to do, since it's mounted [02:09] farrioth: pnmixer. [02:10] farrioth: https://volti.googlecode.com/files/volti_0.2.3-1_all.deb is the deb file itself [02:10] overclucker: Saves a an unnecessary reboot into a live environment, with associated delays [02:10] overclucker: so what should I do now? [02:11] actionParsnip: Thanks, I'm looking into that, need python-alsaaudio now... [02:11] <_Marcus> My MAC address changed because I cloned a VirtualBox machine and ran it. How do I automatically update Ubuntu's networking to make it work with my new MAC address? [02:11] .... [02:12] that should be asked in #virtualbox _Marcus [02:12] ok, my friend is attempting to connect to an adsl connection directly with Ubuntu, he is unable to connect and isn't provided with info to fill in the "Service" box on the connection manager window. Not sure what to do so asking for help here [02:12] Respite212: either reboot into rocovery mode or boot a live cd [02:12] <_Marcus> yekoms: I don't think so. It's Ubuntu-related because I'm changing Ubuntu settings to work with a new MAC address. It's pretty much equal to switching out a networking card in a physical machine. [02:13] pibarnas: Thanks for the suggestion. [02:13] _Marcus, have you tried sudo service networking restart ? [02:13] overclucker: Hmmm how do I boot into recovery and once I get there, what should I do to sdb1? [02:13] ey i found the nomodeset [02:13] Hey there, I need some help about setting up a live CD with persistence [02:13] farrioth: u r welcome. [02:13] DANG... [02:14] Respite212: hold shift on boot to get to the grub menu, then select the recovery option and then select root [02:14] See I need to set up the partitions so windows wont see the liveUSB partition [02:15] DeucesWildCatch2: what happened when you went with nomodeset? [02:15] Hi, this question is meant for Arch, but.. How do I disable wlan0's Power Management FOREVER in any Linux system? <_< [02:15] but, following the guides on the documentation on the wiki... didnt work.. kept getting boot Grub errors [02:15] it is on a memory test now, blue screen memtest [02:15] F0X-D1E, an partition past the first wont be seen [02:15] any* [02:15] I don't want to run iwconfig wlan0 power off every time I boot [02:15] wilee-nilee: yes, and. I got that part but following the guides to install the live usb on a hidden or second partition didnt work [02:16] overclucker: What do I do after I select root? [02:16] Respite212: the next part can be reisky if not done correctly, so I would suggest reading up on a few things before continuing. [02:16] Elesa: make a boot script. like in rc.local. [02:16] wilee-nilee: As I kept getting grub error 15 and error 17 [02:16] You could set a script to run at boot to do it for you Elesa. [02:16] moving the partition manually in gparted didnt work either, made up the same errors [02:16] F0X-D1E, What release of Ubuntu are you using? [02:17] wilee-nilee: 12.04 [02:17] ┐('～`；)┌ looks like I am ignored [02:17] Umm.. How would I exactly do that? I'm still new when it comes to bash stuff. [02:17] Is is difficult to partition the machine for a triboot? because honestly Canukian, the original owner of the lappy worked for a company that kept confidentiality very high, and that there is an open VPN tunnel. well [02:17] F0X-D1E, So whats the rationalization on keeping windows from seeing it? [02:17] CookieJar: if nobody knows, nobody can answer, can they? [02:18] F0X-D1E, use gparted live cd, and drag the starting point of your main linux partition over to the left or right.. (make sure "1 mb" nearest is rounded off << checkbox) [02:18] wilee-nilee: I have a friend that wanted to boot from the usb, and use the usb for standard storage [02:18] ok, my friend is attempting to connect to an adsl connection directly with Ubuntu, he is unable to connect and isn't provided with info to fill in the "Service" box on the connection manager window. Not sure what to do so asking for help here [02:18] about 5 minutes ago^ [02:18] jagginess: I did [02:18] but [02:18] jagginess: made boot errors at startup from the live usb [02:18] overclucker: Would it be better if I boot from cd/usb? [02:18] F0X-D1E, you'll need to re-install grub [02:18] I just wanted an easier way to erase the hard drive, and to be honest i am not even sure I would need the partitioning although I would love to ditch windows completely at some point and figures to do taht with this lappy first. [02:18] jagginess: any way to specifically do this? [02:18] CookieJar: try the forums or wait an hour or so and reask, different users [02:18] F0X-D1E, you'll need to re-install grub [02:18] Ive seen ways of doing it on HDD [02:19] F0X-D1E, grub-install /dev/ [02:19] but, this is a LiveUSB [02:19] jagginess: just that? [02:19] F0X-D1E, so boot a recue environment for it [02:19] Hello everyone [02:19] jagginess: its, a live usb.. [02:19] F0X-D1E, yeah it's a live usb [02:20] I am wondering if I can install ubuntu in linux mint [02:20] How do I create a boot script? [02:20] there was no option for booting into recovery [02:20] So I can keep all my files and everything. [02:20] mrjonwilson, virtualbox ? [02:20] mrjonwilson, what do you mean? [02:20] i can grub-install from the terminal [02:20] mrjonwilson, this is safe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtualbox [02:20] let me try that maybe, maybe that will work. has to actually. [02:20] jagginess, not really. I am running Mint right now, but I want Ubuntu. I don't want to lose everything. [02:21] mrjonwilson, well you may lose everything, so back up your data, and use gparted live cd to resize the mint stuff to make room for ubuntu [02:21] mrjonwilson, do you have a separate partition for /home at least? [02:22] Elesa, yes. I have windoze xp and Mint dual boot. [02:22] I guess the best way is to wipe the Mint partition and install Ubuntu? [02:22] mrjonwilson, http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [02:22] mrjonwilson, ? no.. you dont have to.. [02:23] But you have a separate partition where /home is, right? That might help lots [02:23] gparted is on the Ubuntu CD, why do you need another CD? [02:23] mrjonwilson, you can resize the mint partition with the lvie cd tool i mentioned [02:23] Elesa, he doesnt.. he's quite new to linux [02:23] why waste another CD, you already have the app on a bootable media..... [02:24] mrjonwilson, when you make at least 7 gigs free.. you can add a "ext4" partition for ubuntu [02:24] thanks jagginess and elesa. I am familiar with gparted. [02:24] actionParsnip, because gparted live cd has the latest gparted than any other linux distro [02:24] I just wanted to see if there was a way to install ubuntu using the terminal in mint. [02:25] jagginess: you can upgrade gparted from the liveCD to get te latest version in the repos [02:25] actionParsnip, he's using mint. [02:25] then it's not supported here [02:25] read above. [02:25] nm [02:25] Respite212: The next part envolves initializing /dev/sdb1 as a physical volume, extending the volume group onto it, extending the logical volume for home, and resizing the ext4 filesystem. the two steps can damage the filesystem if done incorrectly so you should probably read up on how to do it before trying it. [02:26] can someone please tell me where I might ask a Git Question? ... I'm trying to force manual merging (mark conflicts on ALL differenced files) to prevent automatic merging... [02:26] mrjonwilson, it's up to you how you want to make space (i've never given any instruction on how to work with mint, it's not the purpose of the channel) [02:26] jagginess, I understand. I appreciate your time, though. :) [02:27] overclucker: Thanks. I'll see what I can find. [02:28] Respite212: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/commontask.html errors on caution so it's a good resource [02:30] mikegit: Have you tried #git? [02:31] overclucker: What is my volumn group? [02:31] in vgcreate? [02:32] Respite212: the label we created was 'vol' [02:32] so in order to activate my volumn group I do vgcreate vol /dev/sdb1? [02:32] Is there a GUI tool available for editing .fonts.conf? (Not Gnome, please) [02:33] farrioth: yes but for some reason it says I can't type anything in the channel... do you know why? [02:33] farrioth: I think it defaults everyone in #git to not be able to type unless they have elevated permissions ... [02:33] mikegit: You may need to register your nick or similar. [02:34] mikegit: I just found the same problem in ##linux. [02:34] Respite212: that's already been done. for now it might be best to reboot to apply the /home change [02:35] overclucker: We did change /home right? [02:35] Respite212: yes it should mount /dev/vol/home onto /home when you reboot [02:35] x [02:36] overclucker: let me reboot then... brb. [02:36] farrioth: why do you need a GUI? [02:37] actionParsnip: Because I'm lazy. [02:37] farrioth: just copy the font into /usr/share/fonts/truetype then run: sudo fc-cache -f -v it's not hard in any way [02:38] farrioth: are you using kde? [02:38] overclucker: Ok. [02:39] actionParsnip: No, I'm wanting to tweak hinting/antialiasing etc. I'm using openbox, but I wouldn't object to a kde tool. [02:39] farrioth: ubuntu-tweak can do that [02:39] overclucker: That worked, now I can sudo pvcreate /dev/sdb1 [02:40] Respite212: type mount in a terminal and look for /home [02:40] actionParsnip: I'll try that, thanks. === Sazpaimon_ is now known as Sazpaimon [02:40] overclucker: /dev/mapper/vol-home on /home type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev) [02:41] Respite212: that's good. [02:42] overclucker: Thanks. What do I do now with sdb1? [02:44] Respite212: before you try extending your home with it you should try creating a physical volume, a volume group and some logical volumes [02:47] hi all, what file do i edit so ubuntu will stop trying to install apache , I have lighty running and i have to stop and remove apache and restart lighty [02:47] Respite212: then get familiar with using lvextend, mkfs.ext4, e2fsck, and resize2fs without damaging the ext4 filesystem. [02:47] can someone assit - [02:48] Guest41866, well you're install an app that needs in order to work [02:49] overclucker: when I create a volume group in sdb1, do I still use the same vol label? [02:50] jagginess: lighty does not need apache2-common === scottas is now known as zz_scottas [02:50] it installs and auto starts itself which blocks my content [02:50] Guest12381, check /etc/default [02:52] Respite212: since there's already a volume group labeled vol you'll need to pick a different one. [02:53] Guest41866, check /etc/default you foolish 41866 [02:53] :) [02:54] jamestunnicliffe: thx, there was an apache2 config file in there , getting rid of it will hopefully give me peace(kick a windows box for luck) _-) [03:04] ok, I am back and bah.. [03:04] How does one take a laptop using ubuntu to the root to manually delete everything? [03:06] format disk from live CD? [03:06] rm -rf / [03:11] How do I write a shell script that will run a command under sudo? [03:11] I don't want to have to type the password in, but rather to have it (yes in plain text) in the sh file itself. [03:11] (unless there's a better way) === fuller is now known as Guest21763 [03:15] k1gwb: You can edit your sudoers file to allow sudoing with no password, or you could run the script as setuid root. [03:16] well, i'm having trouble getting firefox to launch from the launcher (ubuntu 11.10) [03:16] I just want this one script not to require password, so I guess setuid is the best option. Can't recall how to do that. I'll look into it. === Swish[\] is now known as Swish === vjn_ is now known as vjn [03:16] oh is that just chmod 4755? [03:17] google hasn't been any help in resolving my problem [03:17] farrioth, Please do not advise people on a no password. [03:17] in the sudo file [03:18] wilee-nilee: It seems like a better option than having the password stored as plaintext somewhere. === Optichip is now known as Opti2 [03:19] farrioth, probably so, but we want to keep a standard is all. [03:20] wilee-nilee: What is the standard way of sudoing without a password? [03:20] beunas noches [03:20] farrioth, not to advise this on the channel basically keep the OS as it is run. [03:21] to anyone, i am using ubuntu, how do I use my terminal to get to root command and wipe that partition? [03:21] wilee-nilee: What is the puprose of this channel if not to advise? [03:21] farrioth, This is something you ought to ask the mods on. [03:22] hi all, I don't know if I'm in the right chan or not [03:22] DeucesWildCatch2: You shouldn't wipe the partition you're booted from. I'd suggest booting a livecd or similar. [03:22] looking for some help with ubuntu graphics problems [03:22] i'm kind of a new user [03:23] farrioth, Basically we don't advise how to run in root, no passwrod is basically the same. [03:23] wilee-nilee: I'm assuming that the purpose of this channel is to offer advice, so I'll continue to do so for now. [03:23] wilee-nilee: Many commands need to be run as root, however. [03:24] i have a livecd, but this lappy is perfectly partitioned and I am trying to wipe all of the stuff my sister had on this so that no private information is still there.. also, There is an open VPN tunnel on this machine. [03:24] farrioth, Of course that is a good, you want to use some common sense is all. Yes many commands need super user that why there is sudo. [03:24] im working with bash [03:24] but I am NEW to ubuntu. [03:24] DeucesWildCatch2: The root partition contains your installation, do you want to wipe that. [03:26] wilee-nilee: I don't see where I'm lacking common sense. k1gwb was asking how to sudo a command without entering a password, as I understood it. [03:26] will that also wipe any photos and stuff on that partition? [03:26] farrioth, Telling someone that they can run without out a password is not common sense. [03:27] DeucesWildCatch2: Yes, but you shouldn't/can't wipe a partition while you're running an OS from it. [03:27] wilee-nilee: It is if they are asking how to. [03:28] and that is why the Livecd is being used am I right? i was told that i needed to get into the root and begin manually delteing things. [03:28] but i wouldn't know where to begin farrioth.. is it as simple as sudo and whatever command to delete photos? or [03:29] DeucesWildCatch2: Sorry, I missed the fact that you were on a livecd. Do you want to delete everything on the partition or just certain files? [03:29] DeucesWildCatch2, can you just use the GUI to delete files? [03:29] or am I in the wrong part of the conversation? === intervoid is now known as intervoid`dead [03:30] I am trying to delete certain files and if that doesnt work then I will settle for all. [03:30] can i recover windows pwd from linux , both os on same dirve? [03:30] Hello every one... I hope someone knows the answer to this cause I don't! I should add that I'm new to Linux so not knowing is not a news flash. In any event I have been working on this problem for 3 days now with no resolve. It's driving me nuts! I have a new DVD "Marvels Avengers" that plays the DVD in my DVD player in vmware running mythbuntu with mythbuntu's default player but will not play in vlc or mplayer2 on that emulation nor [03:30] will it play on the host computer. I have installed Ubuntu's restricted extras, ffmpeg, mencoder, Medibuntu repository including libdvdcss2 and bdvdnav4, lilibdvdread4, gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad, and gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly. But still nothing.... My computer is a home built running Ubuntu 12.04. My computer is water cooled with the Intel i7 950 quad core 64 bit cpu, on a Rampage III extreme Motherboard, it has 24 gigs of ram, 3-1 [03:30] Tb hdds and one128 gig ssd running the operating system. My Video card is GeForce GTX 580 and I'm running NVIDIA drivers. I also wanted to put the movie in my mythbuntu movie collection and I have tried Handbreak, Thoggen, K9copy, DVD::RIP, AcidRip and ran dd if=/dev/sr0 of=~/Videos/Avengers2.iso in the Terminal (with some success but it won't play in anything). Vlc and mplayer both open and close immediately when I play from the DVD p [03:30] grumpy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:31] I need help troubleshooting graphics issues I am having === lizzin is now known as Guest55597 [03:32] farrioth how do i just delete that partition when i dont even know which partition my os is currently using?? [03:32] I'm using uim-xim, which works straight off in most programs, but in gnome-terminal, I need to select X Input Method every time I run a new terminal before it will work. Is there a way to tell gnome-terminal to use this by default? I have uim chosen in im-switch. [03:32] DeucesWildCatch2: Do you have the partition mouned at the moment? [03:33] ubiquity__: Ask your question, someone might be able to help. (Possibly not me, though.) [03:34] I am new, so bare with me here [03:34] ran a system test [03:34] failed graphics/comiz_check [03:34] i am not able to run unity 3d [03:35] and my resolution is all wonky at 1024x768 or w/e default is [03:35] i have attempted http://lkubuntu.wordpress.com/2011/08/30/quick-and-easy-way-to-fix-x11-issues/ [03:36] (which i believe is restarting xorg) [03:36] i would believe so as that is how i using ubuntu right now [03:36] and done all the necessary standard googling to find the solution to the problem [03:37] DeucesWildCatch2: I thought you were on a livecd? [03:37] so how would I go about attempting to fix these graphics issues [03:37] ubiquity__, thats your vga graphic problem [03:37] blackshirt, okay so...how can I fix the problem [03:37] or assist you in assisting me === ubiquity__ is now known as ubiquity [03:38] ubiquity__, what is your graphic card chipset? === ubiquity is now known as ubiquity4321 === ubiquity4321 is now known as ubiquity__ [03:38] :( ok I took out the livecd [03:38] blackshirt, Intel HD Graphics 3000. Lenovo Thinkpad L520 [03:39] Hello everyone... I hope someone knows the answer to this cause I don't. I should say that I'm new to Linux so not knowing is not a news flash. I have been working on this for 3 days now and have had no success and going crazy. I have a new DVD that plays in my DVD player in vmware running mythbuntu but it won't play in mplayer or vlc. Vlc both open and close immediately. [03:39] wall of text === Logan_ is now known as log [03:39] i think for more newer chipset, download it from intel [03:40] I have installed Ubuntu's restricted extras, ffmpeg, mencoder, Medibuntu repository including libdvdcss2 and bdvdnav4, lilibdvdread4, gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad, and gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly. But still nothing [03:40] grumpy: have you followed the "/msg ubottu dvd" instructions? [03:40] Intel supports linux greatly [03:40] Well, tis time for the rack, thanks all. TTFN [03:40] grumpy: what error does mplayer from cli give from "mplayer dvd://1"? [03:40] DeucesWildCatch2: So you're running Ubuntu, and you want to remove some files from /, but keep your Ubuntu install? [03:41] no error with mplayer it justs opens and closes [03:41] grumpy: fyi the libdvdread4 is actually the exact same package as libdvdcss2 from medibuntu. [03:41] grumpy, I think we understand you are frustrated, but you are asked in the channel info to use some care in overposting. If someone knows they will answer. [03:41] grumpy: do you get text output? messages? [03:41] yes, [03:42] DeucesWildCatch2: And what problem are you having doing this? [03:42] grumpy: do other dvds work ok? [03:44] I ger playerback failure: DVDRead could not open the disk "/dev/dvd'. and Your input can't be opend -VLC is unable to open MRL 'dvd:///dev:dvd and yes other dvd's work just this one [03:44] I'm an idiot, other than that nothing. my sister has requested that I wipe the partition and reinstal ubuntu. Problem is it has been almost 10 years since i have anything like this system i was lazy with windows. now I am trying to do as she requested.. [03:45] so how do I download the linux drivers from intel? [03:46] DeucesWildCatch2: Just install as you usually would, selecting the reformat parition or similar option during installation. [03:46] I would like to learn this system and figured it would be as easy as google to learn what i need, however the first owner of this laptop had it set for a triboot and when i tried to install the program it gave me an option to delte everything.. [03:46] oh well [03:47] who needs system32 when you have gentoo [03:47] DeucesWildCatch2: Did it give you an option to not delete everything, and just use a certain partition? [03:47] oh dear i thought this was #defocus. forgive me. [03:48] yes it did it was the third option [03:49] DeucesWildCatch2: You'll want to chose that option, and it should ask you whether you want to keep the partition as is, or reformat it. [03:49] ok im trying to remix an ubuntu live cd and change the firefox default webpage and was directed to try #firefox i did that and they really couldnt help because ubuntu modifies firefox too much (so they said) so how do i change the global default webpage for firefox [03:49] ok.. farrioth waiting on it now as i reboot it again. [03:50] DeucesWildCatch2: Okay. I can't be online much longer (need to go out) but I'll see what I can do. [03:51] ok well if i cant get this done before you leave, i still thank you farrioth [03:52] Laurelai, Have you considered build a installed ubuntu and putting using remastersys, you have been at just this one thing for awhile. [03:52] sorry for the bad grammer lol [03:52] DeucesWildCatch2: You're welcome. [03:53] <[x]> how to run .jar file ? [03:53] <[x]> execute ? [03:53] wilee-nilee: i want the default live cd login though and i should be able to edit that behavior [03:53] <[x]> in a shell [03:53] and why wont syspref.js work [03:53] ive edited it already [03:54] and firefox ignores it [03:54] there has to be somewhere it stores those defaults [03:54] Laurelai, Ah, I forget how the remaster boots but I think it looks like a regular ISO, but you should of course do what works for you. ;O0 [03:54] <[x]> how to run c# in bash shell?

[03:57] <[x]> jordan u mean to change directory ? [03:59] [x]: No, I mean that to run a CLR binary from a bash shell you simply have to enter the path to said binary (including './' if you are entering a path relative to the current directory) just like any other executable. [04:00] DeucesWildCatch2: I need to leave soon, but should be back within 45mins. Will you be here then? [04:01] <[x]> :S [04:01] more than likely farrioth. thank you [04:01] <[x]> if we direct to .exe files it automatically run .exe ? [04:01] DeucesWildCatch2: No problem. === qos is now known as qos|away [04:02] [x]: Only if those .exe files are either CLR binaries, or (if you have wine installed) windows binaries. And the extension doesn't matter, it's just that CLR binaries tend to be named .exe. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [04:03] <[x]> CLR mean ? === Opti2 is now known as Optichip [04:04] <[x]> is it posibble to run apt-get install command on ssh shell ?

[04:35] I am using glpi software to administer IT stock, but I dont know how to associate shipment report together with that [04:35] Jordan_U yeah... how many logical volumes I need in a volume group? [04:36] Respite212: You can create as many as you want. The minimum that would be at all useful is of course 1, but the way you asked the question makes me think that you might be confused about what Logical Volumes and Volume Groups are. [04:37] Jordan_U: Im brushing up on LVM... actually started on a little hard drive lvm'ing that I haven't managed to complete yet. So still reading up on the "how to's [04:38] overclucker helped me with LVM my sda4 drive so my /home is moved into it. now I am trying to lvm my sdb1 partition so it sticks with my sda4 /home. [04:38] Respite212: https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Logical_Volume_Manager_Administration/LVM_definition.html appears to be a good quick explanation of how Physical Volumes, Volume Groups, and Logical Volumes fit together. [04:38] Respite212: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-lvm/ The commands might be obsolte/irrelevant, but the descriptions and images are great. [04:40] yeah.. here's what I done so far... 1.) sudo pvcreate /dev/sdb1 2.) sudo vgcreate data /dev/sdb1 [04:41] have a new 12.04 server setup that has crashed a few times with nothing in syslog / kern.log or anything at all really - how do I go about debugging this? [04:42] now I am thinking if I should sudo lvcreate data or is it sudo lvcreate --name share data [04:42] couple questions... how would I go about auto mounting a drive on boot? [04:43] Codenomics: /etc/fstab [04:43] nevermind [04:43] Respite212: thanks, I found it right as you answered [04:43] was googline at the same time [04:43] how about making an app autostart? [04:45] Jordan_U: Do I even need a logical volume if I plan on using the entire drive to extend my sda4? [04:46] I'm trying to mound a Multipath device (/dev/mapper/mpath0-part1) at boot (added it to my fstab) but the mount fails. Is there a way to make sure the device mapper service runs before fstab? [04:49] LedHed: Im new to linux, but if you think about it logically, there has to be a reason the mount fails, are there any incompatibility issues with your device mapper? [04:49] LedHed: This includes all your other mounts in fstab. [04:50] Respite212, other mounts work fine. I think its because the DM-multipath runs and creates the device maps after fstab is processed [04:50] anyone here know how can i replace the splash screen on ubuntu 12.04? i mean the encrypted one [04:51] !seen DeucesWildCatch2 [04:51] I have no seen command [04:52] syntaxx, I did this a few years ago. maybe its still relevant [04:52] http://wiki.ledhed.net/index.php/Change_Plymouth_Theme [04:52] LedHed, does it include the encryption? [04:52] no clue [04:53] LedHed, i am thinkin to change the encryption part on the laptop [04:53] I created a custom theme for a company a few years ago as part of an LTSP deployment [04:53] LedHed: you might want to ask again then, because I am not 100% sure how fstab is processed or if it is even possible to get multipaths to run before fstab. [04:53] LedHed, because the encryption part of the ubuntu 12.04 is just a plain text [04:55] Anyone know if I even need a logical volume if I plan on using the entire drive to extend my sda4? [04:55] syntaxx, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=change+boot+splash+screen+ubuntu+12.04 [04:57] LedHed, thanks for it. I already changed the boot splash screen on the plain ubuntu install. But trying the encrypted one I dont seem to find any help from google or maybe i dont know what it is called [04:57] syntaxx, what do you mean the "encrypted one" [04:58] LedHed, when you install ubuntu and you use full encryption it will ask you a passphrase when it boots up. that what i am looking for [04:58] oh [04:58] no clue [04:58] LedHed, i want to change that to something eyecandy [04:59] I see. Ya I wouldn't even know where to start [05:00] LedHed, I saw a post on ubuntuforums but i dont think someone answered correctly http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11907953&postcount=1 [05:00] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/539723 [05:00] Launchpad bug 539723 in plymouth (Ubuntu) "ubuntu-logo theme puts password prompt below dialogue, pushing it offscreen for 800x600 modes (default uvesa mode?)"

[05:02] LedHed, probably that one but its 2010 bug somehow its fixed i think [05:03] syntaxx, the bug is probably fixed, but the there might be referenced to the theme. which might lead you to what you;re looking for.

[05:40] is there a package to see whats wrong with a network? [05:40] lotuspsychje: ping? [05:40] how can I access the log ? [05:41] farrioth:i mean like wrong cables and such [05:41] somsip: how can I access the log ? [05:41] ibraheem: It's just a regular file, you can view it with less or something. [05:41] lotuspsychje: there is not a full app, but you can use ping, ethtool, iperf, iwconfig, iw, and many others, what exactly do you want to check? [05:41] ibraheem: you just posted the path [05:41] lotuspsychje: ifconfig may also help [05:42] lotuspsychje: for cables, iperf should work well, it's a speed test really, but if you're getting the speeds the cable is rated for, then it's highly unlikely that the cable would be bad [05:42] kunji: a network with modem--powerline adapter--linksys wifi got problems connecting to ssh [05:42] kunji:we cant find out whats wrong [05:43] somsip: when i tried to access it, it opens a website for me ?!!

[05:43] lotuspsychje: my initial guess would be noise on the power lines, have you tried running a cable over instead and see if that works, at least then you can narrow down where to look. [05:44] kunji:apowerline can block ssh u think? [05:45] lotuspsychje: not the line itself, I thought you mean connectivity issues over ssh (was thinking noisy line), but if you mean it's just straight up not working, well, the adapters to the powerlines could possibly block ssh [05:46] lotuspsychje: is everything but ssh working (by and large)? [05:46] kunji:well windows laptop works on ssh === Axlin_ is now known as Axlin [05:46] kunji:ubuntu laptop not [05:48] lotuspsychje: hmm, did you turn on the firewall in Ubuntu at some point? ufw and/or iptables?

[05:51] lotuspsychje: I don't think I have a grasp of just what your setup is exactly yet [05:53] kunji: adsl2===modem(1port out)===powerline adapter===ubuntu server and wifi linksys router===2 wifi laptops [05:55] lotuspsychje: hmm, so your ssh never actually goes over the powerline adapter anyway, and there is basically no difference between the setups of the laptops, do I have this correct? [05:56] kunji:other laptops(windows) can connect to ssh server correclty [05:56] kunji:ubuntu server to ubuntu laptop not, same network [05:57] Ah, so from outside of this you mean [05:57] kunji:no internal [05:58] lotuspsychje: Huh, if it's internal, then how is the ubuntu server to ubuntu laptop not on the same network?

[06:07] redwarriors25_: ifyou don't know how to use vi, use nano [06:07] yea that really defeats the purpose [06:07] seems like there should be a process or something to kill to do this [06:07] visored: There should be a way, but I don't know how since I don't use unity. [06:08] thanbks [06:08] visored: unity --reset possibly? [06:08] visored: obxprop should tell you the process name, but if it's unity itself killing it will probably log you out.

[06:38] vivek-tomar__, for some software/os we don't need it, for some we do... for example you can just extract win7/8 iso into usb and check the "bootable" box... and there you go, bootable usb is ready [06:39] michalchik: dmesg for starters, but others in /var/log may help. syslog, auth.log, maybe boot.log. Sometimes just need to look at a few for weird stuff. But you say you are not the only one. Can you point to other reports of this? [06:40] tomfrost: Thanks, once I vgextend label /dev/sdb1, do I need to /etc/fstab? or is it already added in? [06:42] what is 'linux easter eggs'? [06:42] iman: hidden stuff that do amusing things usually [06:43] Respite212: you don't need to touch /etc/fstab, because it already has the file system(s) in it.

This is not helping anyone [08:58] [x]: you're not asking about Ubuntu either, and this is strictly for Ubuntu support [08:58] [x]: please take it elsewhere. [08:58] [x]: You are asking how to run a .exe from ssh on freebsd. Your question is freebsd related, not ubuntu related. Please ask #freebsd and be patient. [08:58] [x]: youre in a wrong channel [08:58] romance, he talking about ssh ... And yes, we can install ssh server in windows [08:58] <[x]> ok leave it , no issue.

[09:10] BlueWolf: why would you want to do that? [09:10] ThinkT510: Because I hate everything about Unity? [09:10] BlueWolf: why not just leave it alone and use a different desktop? [09:11] BlueWolf: removing stuff is far more likely to break things [09:11] BlueWolf: people hated the Windows 95 interface too when it came out, and were really pleased to discover they could stick with good old progman.exe [09:12] bluewolf, you can install other de [09:12] gordonjcp: interesting, not helpful but interesting. [09:12] Or remove unity [09:12] ThinkT510: I have just changed the desktop but I don't like the fact the the unity is not giving me the flexibility I want. Simple things like putting things on the top panel and removing the bottom :( [09:12] or install arch [09:13] BlueWolf: what? if you are using another desktop then why are you complaining about unity? [09:13] ThinkT510: It still has influence on the computer right? [09:14] BlueWolf: you are in another desktop environment... so no [09:14] ThinkT510: I am currently on 10.04 and I am finding 12.04 very stiff if you could call it that. [09:14] BlueWolf: 10.04 doesn't even have unity [09:15] anybody using glpi ? [09:15] unity isn't to bad once you get used to it (and i was a vocal hater..) [09:16] ThinkT510: I know that 10.04 does not have Unity, what I am saying is that I like the way 10.04 operates and 12.04 is not operating the same flexible way, how can I get it to do so? [09:16] BlueWolf: gnome2 is dead, find an alternative you like [09:17] BlueWolf: why not go for Xubuntu [09:18] can the mate desktop be used on lubuntu ? [09:18] Pzat: it won't be supported here [09:18] ThinkT510: Well I don't know what else there is and I haven't seen anything I like [09:19] BlueWolf: gnome-shell has a fallback mode similar to gnome2 [09:19] BlueWolf: go hardcore command line - never changes [09:19] BlueWolf: many people like xfce [09:20] BlueWolf: you could try lxde or kde or enlightenment [09:20] Guest33303: I have not payed much attention to it Xubuntu [09:20] BlueWolf: or you could even give unity a chance and find out it isn't as bad as people say [09:20] BlueWolf: Xubuntu is XFCE and similar to how Gnome was [09:20] its my default now [09:20] <[deXter]> BlueWolf, Actually, do give Unity a chance so you can get to see how much better everything else is. ;) [09:21] ThinkT510: they have their own channel here on freenode: #mate ... and yes.. I would give unity a chance [09:21] ThinkT510: I have never heard of half of these, is there somewhere on the net that shows most of the Linux and reviews on them as well as popularity? [09:21] BlueWolf: if you really, really can't get on with Unity, try XFCE [09:22] [deXter]: Agreed, Another unity hater I presume? ;-) [09:22] <[deXter]> BlueWolf, distrowatch.com [09:22] BlueWolf: distrowatch [09:22] BlueWolf: Unity takes a bit of getting used to, but it's good once you get used to it [09:22] <[deXter]> BlueWolf, Not really a hater, just disappointed in the direction Canonical's taken, that's all. [09:22] agreed [09:22] [deXter]: I feel the same [09:22] I have given unity a chance, and ubuntu 12.04 desktop... I went to #fedora [09:23] let's keep to support [09:23] lets get back to support please [09:23] is that life support? [09:23] Guest33303, thats enough [09:23] Unity *rocks* [09:23] :) [09:23] you need a decent PC for it to be usably fast though ;-) [09:24] lol [09:24] !ot [09:24] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[09:24] KM0201, how much you like it? yes [09:25] what if they say they like it [09:25] heres a support question - how can u make unity more responsive, given that its getting slower with each release? [09:25] we have #ubuntu-discuss and #ubuntu-offtopic for that [09:25] gordonjcp: Ok I must admit, the unity interface looks cool but I like to customize my desktop and interface and I can't with unity. If I could it would be awesome. Can you customize your interface with unity? [09:25] does anyone know of a terminal that compresses its scrollback in RAM? with search and bookmark features? i have *tons* of output on the project i'm working on. i need it all, unfortunately. but it's highly compressible.

Is it possible that there is an inode not referenced to a file? I'm still a bit foggy on inodes so I might have got this wrong... [09:40] and thank the oo\\people here for their help [09:40] are you trying to recover a damaged container? why are you referencing inoes...

[09:46] MikeWorth, do you know the process that is spitting out the error? have you thought of using strace or lsof to see which files its reading? trucrypt can encrypt filesystems, so perhaps the inode is of the encrypted filesystem, and not your / [09:46] Respite212: search for nvidia-settings [09:46] MikeWorth, is trucrypt encrypting your home? [09:47] ah thanks [09:47] Respite212: if you are trying to install the nvidia driver then use the additional drivers dialog [09:47] is it alright if I just sit here awhile [09:47] steveGODSchild: sure, many people lurk and learn [09:47] mikeey, oh, i see you're talking about eCryptfs now. sorry i only saw "truecrypt" and assumed you meant "trucrypt." is newer ubuntu using trucrypt? (or something called truecrypt?) [09:49] Hmpf .. Libre Office 1.6 stops Alt-Tabbing constantly ... can't get at my document without minimising everything else... [09:50] g105b: 1.6?

[10:24] I went with adduser --system [10:25] hi [10:25] vadi2: I've never used adduser, but then again most of my systems are single-user. [10:26] i tend to do sudo adduser billgates for |xample [10:26] farrioth: :) can't understand what that returns [10:26] I am running ubuntu 12.04 AMD 64 Bit... after messing around with wine I think I found out opengl isn't installed on my system.... should opengl come enabled with opensource graphics drivers?

[10:30] for best 3d ShapeShifter499 you may need the fglrx drivers [10:30] farrioth: It should return a list of packages which own the files in that dir. [10:31] farrioth: it seems what the docs say as well. How can I select and use the new system user? [10:31] dr_willis, I couldn't get them running [10:31] Since I need to "perform actions as a system user"... and su systemuser asks for a password [10:31] vadi2: why not use sudo? [10:31] adduser ask for the new users new password normally. [10:31] vadi2: use `passwd ` to set the password.

[10:34] makes sense, thank you [10:35] dr_willis, what do you think I should do? [10:36] ShapeShifter499: no idea really. i avoid ati. you could try newer fglrx drivers. but i dont know much about ati anymore [10:37] dr_willis, know how to get opengl enabled for open source? [10:37] open sourced ati drivers often have limitiins [10:37] root owns /srv, but I'd like to create a folder in there as my system user. What do I do? [10:38] should be enabled by default ShapeShifter499 but i bet it will be realslow [10:39] vadi2: sudo mkdir foo. then chown it. it one way [10:39] dr_willis, what if mesa wasn't installed? [10:39] I'm not seeing any of those installed just xorg [10:39] ok [10:39] ive not had to fight with 3d in ages ShapeShifter499 [10:40] so no idea.

[11:20] So I clicked install missing plugins and it took me to the Java site where I downloaded the required package/. [11:20] Now I'm not sure how to install/implement it. Can I get some help please? === florin is now known as Guest46753 [11:22] Anyone? [11:23] MonkeyDust, after the current process I started before, it asks me to update the Google Chrome, and I hit yes. [11:23] Now I guess it's downloading that.. [11:23] After that one, I will try your command. [11:23] MonkeyDust: can I grab a hand/ [11:24] s/\//?/ [11:25] Shazer[2] i'm not familiar with java, i'm sure someone else can help you better === _dd is now known as Guest83353 === Lebby1 is now known as Lebby [11:27] Shazer[2]: why dont you just install jre, it will pull all its plugins, too [11:27] Hi, just installed the latest stable and am having problems with the mouse, I can open stuff but when I try to close it's not agreeing with what I commant lol, it's just ignoring my mouse commands at times, cyborg Rat 7, flipping annoying, any ideas [11:28] dmh654: cyborg rat 7? [11:28] yeah, gaming mouse [11:29] http://www.cyborggaming.com/prod/rat7.htm [11:29] I cant close windows [11:29] click all I like and nothng happens [11:30] sometimes if I hit enter when a button is highlighted it will close [11:31] MonkeyDust, before running your command the problem has solved with the recent update, and the error message gone. [11:32] I don't exactly know how (I changed the repo though), but thanks a lot! [11:32] I dont think its directly Ubuntu related as I had the same thing on other distros I tried this morning, but its a problem with some config or something [11:33] dmh654: a quick google shows that mouse having a problem with xorg in generl [11:33] general [11:33] ikonia: thanks I did search, got a link so I can check it out [11:34] or an aswer :) [11:34] oO problem solved? [11:34] there doesn't appear to be an answer [11:34] crap [11:34] but a few of the rat mouses appear to have glitches with xorg [11:34] most seem to be around skipping or moving too fast [11:35] must be a solution other than dumping a 100 euro mose lol [11:35] mpose even [11:35] why must there be ? [11:35] mouse, need a new keyboard as well [11:35] if there is compatability issues....... [11:35] is it possible to draw directly to the x window system? Like if I wanted to draw an image that would have no window and will always be on top of everything [11:35] ikonia: because where there is a will there is a way :) [11:36] dmh654: off you go then, you make a solution [11:36] MonkeyDust, it updated Google Chrome successfully. I didn't have pastebinit installed, it installed that program too. But the only weird thing I see is, when I run the GUI update manage, it says package information was last updated 8 days ago. [11:36] yeah, boot to windows until linux gets up to speed :) [11:36] akls: define draw, do you mean render an image/window without title bars, or do you meean "draw" as in draw with a pen [11:36] ikonia: you got that link? [11:36] ikonia, render an image === shomonn is now known as shomon [11:36] dmh654: there you go, problem solved [11:36] dmh654: what lin k? [11:37] dmh654: there isn't a link, just have a google for "rat mouse and linux" or "rat mouse fedora" etc [11:37] akls: with imagemagick or xv I think... [11:37] the one you looked at [11:37] MonkeyDust, the command "$ sudo apt-get update|pastebinit" is running forever it seems. :-/ [11:37] you'll see a few problems, mostly around the mouse skipping [11:37] MonkeyDust, I gotta go now, I will be back later with the output, sorry. :-( [11:37] will check it out, ty anyway [11:37] oO: it might never produce output if it is waiting for a response [11:37] akls: some application have a -noboarder flag [11:37] MonkeyDust, what source server are you using? [11:38] Ben64, response from whom? I am not seeing anything. [11:38] ikonia, well, I don't need all the stuff that windows have. Like draggable and other things [11:38] oO: response from you, like if it's asking a question [11:38] Nope, it's asking nothing. :-) [11:38] ikonia, I understand that I can make a gtk window that is unmovable and has no borders and other stuff [11:38] akls: yes, so "noboarder" would stop that (if the application supports tgat flag, not all do) [11:38] oO: the |pastebinit might stop you from seeing it [11:39] Ben64, where to see then? [11:39] ikonia, but it's damn too complicated to simply display an image [11:39] oO: why are you trying to pastebin apt-get update anyway? [11:39] akls: you need an application to display the image [11:39] Ben64, I don't know. [11:39] ikonia, nope, I'm making an application that should display an image [11:40] I tried only this -- "sudo apt-get update|pastebinit" Ben64. [11:40] oO: just run it without pastebinit and then you can pastebin it manually if needed [11:40] akls: right so that is the application, the one you are making IS the application === sertaconay_ is now known as sertaconay [11:40] Ben64, aye, I can do that. Will do later. [11:40] well, yea [11:40] Sorry, really gotta go now. [11:42] Why am i getting missed X ticks in dstat.log [11:43] anyone here do not unity? [11:43] not like* [11:43] ikonia: will try this and get back http://fcns.eu/2011/04/01/cyborg-rat-7-mouse-under-linux/ with results thanks again [11:50] hello === Guest56196 is now known as lance--_-__ [11:51] i have an issue with one application, it is able to send mails for external email id's, but it is not able to send intranet mail id's [11:53] in send mail logs i found this "554 Mailaddress is administratively disabled." [11:53] satyaktree: not sure if I know what the problem is, but when you ping those domains? [11:53] satyaktree: well then contact your administrator? xD === xubuntu is now known as Guest2631 [11:54] hi everyone === will is now known as Guest13784 [11:54] Hi Guest2631 === joshtek0 is now known as JoshuaP === will_ is now known as Guest98857 [11:54] Hi.

[11:54] (I mean bash) [11:55] crazydiamond: #bash might know [11:55] thanks [11:55] Where to I put my signing key (.gpg) to remove the ppa error? === Guest98857 is now known as Shodex [11:56] crazydiamond: while[condition];do;command1;done [11:56] mr-peache thanks [11:57] np [11:57] i install 2 times xubuntu 12.04 and i cant solve a problem he asks something for grub rescue any help please iam only in trying mode and i cant get the normal mode [11:57] Where to I put my signing key (.gpg) to remove the ppa error? [12:01] Hey all [12:01] BluesKaj: greetings [12:01] BluesKaj: Hello [12:02] hi acerimmer__ , mr-peache === amit is now known as Guest64307 [12:04] so xrandr.... if it only shows 60+ under my display modes that means I can't have a display refresh mode over 60Hz? [12:06] Hi. Im looking for a way to print user ID of all running process in linux using a c program. Any way for that? [12:06] ShapeShifter499: '+' marks the preferred mode, '*' marks the current mode [12:06] hi [12:06] looking for a tool like top that can watch the number of files a process opens [12:06] is anyone aware of something like this? [12:06] tsimpson, yes and 60 is the highest it shows [12:07] tsimpson, is that my laptop display's true limit or driver/software limit? [12:08] problem here: i'm trying to set up NIS, but the service /etc/init.d/nis that is referred to by any documentation (including the one in /usr/share/doc/) does not exist. [12:08] list [12:08] Hello there :) [12:08] ShapeShifter499: it's the limit reported by the hardware, laptop screens usually stay at ~60 [12:09] ShapeShifter499, my nvidia 8400GS , maxes out at 60 ..it's not an expensive card , but that's all I can expect from it [12:09] bea_: man ypbind ? [12:10] BluesKaj, tsimpson so if I wanted to attempt higher fps then I should turn v-sync off? [12:10] is it possible to segregate root process alone using /proc data? [12:12] rrajbe: sounds like your venturing into grsecurity RBAC, gentoo hardened project might pique your interest === lizzin is now known as Guest64298 === Anon is now known as Guest72674 [12:13] ShapeShifter499: it's not the frame rate, it's the refresh rate of the screen [12:14] ShapeShifter499, I have sync to Vblank turned off , but I don't notice much difference, slightly less flickering maybe (42" plasma Monitor) [12:15] I know that but I read online, higher refesh rate can lead to more fps [12:15] tsimpson, ^^ [12:16] BluesKaj, ok thanks, one more thing is CCSM a good place to turn off v-sync? [12:17] BluesKaj, I see the option to turn off "sync to Vblank" there [12:18] ShapeShifter499, dunno I turn it off in my nvidia server settings GUI , ..and I don't use CCSM since I run KDE [12:19] SapeShifter499: you can turn it off in the CCSM [12:21] ejv: Im not getting it clear. Can you please brief it? === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [12:26] have a new 12.04 server setup that has crashed a few times with nothing in syslog / kern.log or anything at all really - how do I go about debugging this? [12:28] faoiseamh: is there anything related to the crashes - a program or something [12:29] ciao [12:29] !list [12:29] pinosb: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [12:30] ubottu: lol [12:30] Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [12:31] why does xorg.conf not exist on my shiney new Ubuntu? [12:31] I need to edit it to get my mose working [12:31] mouse [12:32] dmh654: you can generate one "if you need it". it hasn't existed by default for quite some time now. [12:33] I tried doing ctrl alt f1 and logging in but it does not accept my password for some reason === Vanadis__ is now known as Vorurteilvanadis [12:33] hey hey..not exactly a ubuntu question, just a question that i'm stumped with... built 2 new ubuntu boxes..brought them to the colo installed them boxA/boxB, boxB can telnet to boxC on 443/80/8080 but for some reason boxA will only connect to port 443/80 and gets connection refused on 8080 [12:33] any ideas why? [12:33] I know how to create one but cant get past the first hurdle [12:35] zykotick9: this what I am attempting http://delightlylinux.wordpress.com/2012/03/07/using-the-cyborg-r-a-t-7-with-ubuntu/ [12:36] dmh654: sorry if you don't know your password, i can't help. good luck. [12:36] mr-peache: nothing I can find. no correlation I can determine. inconsistent times, times since boot, etc. How should i try to determine if a program is the cause? [12:36] zykotick9: lol I know it, it just wont accept it??? [12:37] dmh654: that's a crazy lookin' mouse. good luck. [12:37] :) [12:37] heading to work though, please leave me any ideas and i'll be back later [12:38] just can't figure out what is stopping BoxA from being able to connect to boxC on port 8080 when all the other ports work..and other boxes don't have the same problem [12:38] zykotick9: broke my other Trust thing playing 2worlds2 so I thought on a stronger one, problem, linux does not like it at face value [12:39] I will get there [12:39] hello === Vorurteilvanadis is now known as vanadis [12:40] zykotick9: whats the easiest way to generate a xorg.conf file plz [12:40] well .. haha .. unity is segfaulting http://susepaste.org/view/raw/15363943 in Xvnc .. poor .. well, that it won't run with opengl is expectable but segfaulting is funny ... unity-2d-shell runs some nonsense .. how can i run unity session in vnc ? [12:41] mnice: you want to run a 3d gui across a network? good luck with that... [12:41] isnt /etc/rc.local supposed to run commands in it at startup? maybe its related to the "xset m 0 0" only works when X has started? [12:41] mnice: i don't think vnc like compositing [12:42] syre: yes [12:42] jrib: to both? ;) [12:42] syre: yes :) You probably want that in your ~/.xprofile [12:42] dmh654: it requires logging in from a VT (which you can't do for some reason? it also requires sudo, which i'll guess you also can't use). i can't help. [12:42] jrib: ah! thanks [12:42] zykotick9 & ThinkT510 .. oh god .. NO I DO NOT .. reread please [12:43] dmh654, Boot Ubuntu in the Recovery mode and choose for >> root Drop to root shell prompt and type: Xorg -configure [12:43] i would like to run unity in 2d (without compositing|opengl) [12:43] syre: depending on how you login exactly, ~/.xsession, ~/.xinitrc, and ~/.config/autostart/ are other possibilities [12:44] jrib: hrrrm standard lightdm with gnome classic? [12:44] like for example kde automatically detects the capability of given output and runs themselves either with opengl on or off [12:44] syre: then ~/.xprofile or a .desktop file in ~/.config/autostart/ (this is what's used by the gui for creating startup applications) should work [12:45] jrib: ~/.xprofile it is then, thanks alot [12:48] OerHeks: isn't it "X -configure :1" [12:48] OerHeks: the :1 only being required if x is running. [12:50] zykotick9, i showed him the way to recovery, safest method i think, besides his password doesn't work somehowe [12:50] OerHeks: i'm just concerned about the X vs Xorg (hopefully Xorg works) [12:51] OerHeks: i consulted the man page Xorg is correct as well :) [12:52] Hello! How do I find out my ubuntu version? [12:52] no_gravity: "lsb_release -a" from terminal is one way [12:52] no_gravity: you can see "/msg ubottu version" i believe for that same direction [12:53] zykotick9: ok, ubuntu 10.04 [12:53] I just plugged in an usb wlan stick into this machine. Nothing happened. How can I make it find the wlan? [12:54] no_gravity: does "lsusb" show the device for starters? [12:54] was that visual to all? if yes, sorry [12:55] hi, i'm currently running ubuntu 12.04 how do i upgrade to the 12.10 beta [12:55] MonkeyDust: was what visual? i don't think it was. [12:55] update-manager -d doesn't get it [12:55] ok [12:55] zykotick9: hmm.. one entry i dont know what it is "Atheros Communications, Inc". The others dont look like wlan devices. [12:56] no_gravity: atheros is probably your wlan - does it show a model number? if so, i'd search online for support for that particular model. [12:57] zykotick9: no, it just shows the string i typed. but i have the package. its a tl-wn721n. [12:57] Merveilleux ubuntu le meilleeur!!! [12:57] no_gravity: for general wireless you could check the "/msg ubottu atheros" factoid, just a general wireless help wiki page a believe, not atheros specific!

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [12:58] zykotick9: hmm.. maybe i install the latest ubuntu version and see if it supports it out of the box? [12:58] chris_99, check that it does not say "look for LTS only" [12:58] hi all. I have a project which generates a .rpm file. Is it possible to submit it to be installed through apt-get ... ? [12:59] cheer bazhang that fixed it :) [12:59] *cheers [12:59] zykotick9: but how do i know it doesnt support it already? [12:59] no_gravity: well, 10.04 ISN'T going to have the best hardward support at this time... so that "could" work, but 0 guarantee. [12:59] alvesjnr, no, you'd need a .deb [12:59] !packaging | alvesjnr [12:59] alvesjnr: The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports and !sponsoring [12:59] tk [13:00] no_gravity: you'll have to search online, or is someone here happens to have the same hardware (perhaps they'll know more). best of luck. [13:00] no_gravity, worth a check into linux-backports-modules for that [13:00] no_gravity, if you gave us the exact atheros we could be more certain [13:01] bazhang: no_gravity stated it's a tl-wn721n (i didn't personally go searching for it online) === Lebby1 is now known as Lebby [13:01] zykotick9: i mean, maybe my machine supports this stick, but i have to enable wlan somewhere? [13:02] bazhang: its a tl-wn721n. [13:02] no_gravity: do you have a networking icon in top right corner? check in that (it's Network Manager btw) [13:02] zykotick9: no. i dont have a top panel. [13:03] no_gravity: i see. well, good luck. [13:03] http://askubuntu.com/questions/83137/list-of-wireless-adapters-that-just-work-with-ubuntu-11-10 no_gravity this one? [13:04] in the main menu, there is a network thingy. under wireless it shows nothing. [13:04] bazhang: what do you mean? [13:04] no_gravity, read the link [13:05] bazhang: i did. but i dont understand the question "this one?". === dpac|away is now known as 1JTAAHMSU [13:05] no_gravity, is that one your card === 1JTAAHMSU is now known as dpac [13:06] bazhang: my card is mentioned on that page, yes. looks like it works under ubuntu 11. [13:06] * no_gravity runs gparted to make room for an ubuntu 12 partition... [13:06] no_gravity, and 12.04 if you read the link carefully [13:07] bazhang: yes, thanks. [13:07] actually i will install mint, but i guess thats based on the latest ubuntu as well. [13:07] no_gravity: there are two ubuntu versions each year, so only saying ubuntu 12 is confusing [13:07] hi,guys~ [13:07] no_gravity, mint's not supported here [13:07] no_gravity: and ask the mint boys, what up with their hardware support. we here cant tell you that [13:08] if anyone can introduce a chinese input software? [13:08] bazhang: i didnt ask for mint support. [13:08] ibus alex__ [13:08] k1l_: i didnt ask. [13:08] sorry? [13:08] people who use one OS always go crazy when you mention another OS... [13:08] no_gravity, you are asking for help, and say you will install mint. go to mintsupport [13:09] somebody can help me about an unity loading error? [13:09] alex__, chinese input ---> ibus [13:09] bazhang: i asked for help with my ubuntu installation. i never asked for help with mint. [13:09] thanx~ [13:09] hi [13:10] bazhang: the same happens when you mention ubuntu on #debian. everybody goes crazy... i use many OSes on my machines. so its hard to avoid mentioning that. [13:11] i want to install a .run file, but while the installation process when the program starts unpacking the files i get an error, that he cant unpack files, any ideas why? [13:11] Mydgro, a run file of what [13:12] bazhang .run file [13:12] bazhang software [13:12] Mydgro, yes, of what [13:12] Mydgro, what software, the exact name [13:12] yea because room on this server is douchebaggery, instead of linux joining together as one, they all split apart and treat other distros with vengeance [13:12] STMelon, thats not called for. stay on topic [13:13] be NICE IF YOU FUCKING UBUNTU MORONS GET RID OF THE AMAZON LENS IN 12.10 [13:13] *sigh* [13:13] which is easily removable [13:13] bazhang imag.run [13:16] How do I boot an .iso from a usb? I've partitioned the usb drive into ntfs via gparted, I then extracted the .iso to the usb via archive manager and rebooted my computer, at the boot menu I chose the USB and then the screen was blank. [13:19] Domincii you didnt need to partition the usb drive [13:20] Domincii use unetbootin to put the bootable iso on the usb stick, then boot from it [13:20] i have unetbootin [13:20] Domincii: and ntfs is the wrong format, too. try fat32 (which is standard) [13:20] but it only lets me choose linux iso's [13:20] im trying to boot windows [13:20] hello everyone, i need your help [13:20] Domincii: it wont use windows [13:20] Domincii that's not possible, further questions in ##windows [13:20] can a full URL be used as CNAME? [13:21] Domincii: ask the windows support how to make an windows boot stick. that is not a ubuntu issue [13:21] thanks [13:21] i thought because am currently using ubuntu i should ask here [13:21] Domincii, which win version? [13:21] 7 [13:21] Domincii, i think you forgot to check the "bootable" boxin gparted [13:22] thanks i'll check [13:22] Domincii: you wont do this in ubuntu or with ubuntu tools. so ask the windows support [13:22] I installed ubuntu, but i cannot get maximum screen resolution [13:22] Domincii, and unetbootin won't work with windows iso... it's only for linux [13:22] momin90909: install the right video drivers?

[13:46] bonno: i doubt that is a thunar option - my guess- its a dock/panel setting [13:46] Hello, I am new to Linux Ubuntu but am already starting to learn the command-line and how to install / uninstall packages etc. Although, I like keeping my files/programs organized and Ubuntu's directory structure confuses me. Could someone please tell me what the main folder is where packages/programs are supposed to be (as the norm) [13:46] as window-grouping is afaik not app-specific [13:46] HunterT: do you know the 'which' cmd? [13:47] HunterT: just use the paket-managment to install programs. dont start fiddeling on yourself [13:47] nope fidel_ [13:47] So use Synaptic Package Manager? [13:47] where does it put most installed packages? [13:47] HunterT: which firefox // as a example [13:47] !apt-get | HunterT [13:47] HunterT: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) [13:47] anyone here not like unity? [13:47] I use apt-get all of the time.. but lets say I want to install NetBeans.. what directory would you guys install it? [13:48] jeaton i don't. [13:48] Is there any way to remove the message, in the Nautilus window, stating things like "This volume contains digital photos - Open Shotwell Photo Manager"? [13:48] what do you use in replace of it? [13:48] HunterT: as a sidenote - you really dont need to mess with that - trust in the lovely package-management - at the end there is not really a need to know where the executable of app XY is usualy [13:48] HunterT: its not the ubuntu way to download stuff from webpages and install it. its the ubuntu way to use the repos or PPAs [13:48] I tried Gnome3 but didn't work too well jeaton [13:48] fidel_ thanks that makes me feel better, but what about programs like NetBeans that have to be manually downloaded and installed? [13:48] !notunity | jeaton [13:48] jeaton: 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 [13:49] HunterT: well thats specific to the app - but installing apps from outside official apps isnt that common as apt provides most apps anways [13:49] jeaton I use GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". [13:49] So the norm for Ubuntu is to just always download from repos or PPAs and let the tools automatically handle things. [13:49] What IDE would you guys recommend using for Symfony 2 development? [13:49] HunterT: yes [13:49] HunterT: from official sources is the normal case [13:49] Guest87183, any problems with that? [13:50] are there any that can be installed from apt-get [13:50] !ppa | HunterT [13:50] HunterT: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [13:50] oh wow thanks [13:50] i originally used gnome 3 and also had problems, so I went back to 10.04, but I'm in serious need of an upgrade [13:50] HunterT: using ppa's isnt that officical - while it still provides an easy option on ubuntu systems to install additional packages from random sources via apt [13:50] HunterT: Netbeans may be worth looking at but I dont use it for Symfony myself. [13:50] jeaton: What's the problem? :) [13:51] HunterT: in case you are really new to ubuntu - it might make sense to install an additional linux system as virtual machine [13:51] Got you thanks a lot. One last thing. As far as Java goes would you guys recommend getting OpenJRE from the package manager or downloading and installing the real version from oracle. [13:51] this allows you to mess around without having some kind of starter-fear [13:51] Yeah i use virtual box [13:51] somsip what IDE do you use? [13:51] hehe ok. sorry i cant help you in the java-speicifc section of your question. lets hope someone else can [13:52] from what I understand NetBeans and Eclipse are the only good IDEs with symfony plugins [13:52] HunterT: given recent bug issues, openjde/jdk. Can;t say I've had any probs with it. And Netbeans, but I don't use Symfony so I'm not sure of the support for that [13:52] Guest87183 laggyness. it takes a good couple of seconds for the gnome window to appear. and the rest is just pure preference, do not like the dock style, and the zillion of ppa's you have to install for every applet, it used to be that with gnome panel, they come preloaded and a drag and drop will get applets onto your panel [13:52] I'm browsing through http://ppa.launchpad.net/ and wanted to know how to add a ppa to my ubuntu server. [13:52] HunterT: there is #netbeans in freenode as well . maybe interesting as well [13:53] !ppa | fubar10 [13:53] fubar10: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

[13:53] HunterT: last OT reply - the last I looked the repo version of netbeans was quite out of date. May have changed since. Heads up. [13:53] ok need some more help [13:53] how do I symlink or hardlink a directory? [13:53] jeaton: What's your problem [13:53] fubar10: the launchpad main page of each project offers informations on how to add a ppa [13:54] fubar10: in short - there are several ways to add them - using gui or using cli as always [13:54] fubar10: add-apt-repository is one option [13:54] shapeshifter, ln -s not works? [13:54] Hatori, no its not letting me [13:55] Hatori, do I have to mkdir the other directory (the place I want the symlink pointing to)?

[14:08] Ririshi: a bnc is usualy an app which keeps on irc-commention permanently alive. you as user connent with your irc client to that bounce. which usualy runs on a 24h available server [14:08] Ririshi: as a result - you/your session is always in the irc-chan you like [14:09] fidel_: cool! how do I get such a thing to work? [14:09] Ririshi: in case you have access to a server - the combination: screen & irssi is a lovely small solution for that [14:09] where can i get drivers for intel graphics [14:09] Ririshi: as always- decide which app you want to use- read its docs and install/setup it [14:09] Hatori, do you know? [14:09] sachiru, but maybe better you sit on cli mode ...

Sorry, [14:10] Hatori, does it matter if I have lib32 and lib ? will my system look in both places? lib32 only appeared after using getlibs [14:10] that would be in /usr btw [14:10] fidel_: I'll search around a bit. [14:11] shapeshifter499, i think that was not a problem [14:11] One more problem: always when using ', I have to press spacebar before it appears, or it appears on top of the next letter like this: ḿ ś í ḱ [14:11] Or it just doesn't appear..\ [14:11] shapeshifter499, look if it was symlink to each other [14:11] Ririshi: my advice would be using 'screen' & 'irssi'. this results in a setup where you just need an ssh shell and not a local irc-client at all === deric is now known as dericpr [14:12] Hatori, its not [14:12] shapeshifter499, okey, like you said before, from getlibs [14:12] Is there an app that I can install that will send my system specs to Canonical to help improve Ubuntu?

I have VMWare Workstation 9 with an Ubuntu Virtual Machine. This morning some VMWare services no longer wanted to start, so I had to reinstall VMWare. Now VMWare works again, but my Ubuntu Virtual Machine no longer has network access. I checked the config and the VM is configured to use NAT as network adapter. If I do an ifconfig in Ubuntu it has an 192.168.228.137 IP address, but in the VMWare config I find 192.168.216 [15:11] So my question now is: should I fix this in my VMWare Config or in the Ubuntu config?

[16:11] ardchoille, thanks [16:11] yw [16:11] chinneseproduct, i was being kind, giving you the scrollbacks of what ikonia said. there's a *reason* scrollbacks exist. ikonia gave you a suggested method, and a suggested possible cause, such that packages may have already been installed which therefore break things. uninstalling, updating the apt data, and then reinstalling might fix it [16:12] Domincii, "sudo umount dev/" would be run from a terminal. [16:12] ok [16:12] TheLordOfTime, and the problem in ikonia comment wasnt mentioned me in that post [16:12] chinneseproduct: did you remove those apache packages, clear your cache and try again as ikonia suggested? [16:12] chinneseproduct, so in a sense, reiterating what ikonia said, whether i copy-paste scrollbacks or not, is actually trying to help [16:12] chinneseproduct, that's not our problem? [16:12] Domincii: *sudo umount /dev/" [16:13] Ignore asterisk and quote [16:13] hi everyone, I've just installe ubuntu 12.04 32bit and I can't activate th driver for the ethernet, because the system tries to download the drivers [16:14] dont we need a /mnt/ there ? oh maybe its just for mount, not umount [16:14] ardchoille, soory can i have the commmand for sync cache [16:14] the odd thing is that when I tried ubuntu live the connection worked perfectly, but now it doesn't [16:14] Romance, every device on your system, usually, will have a /dev/ entry unless its an nfs share or something weird like that. [16:14] usually. [16:14] chinneseproduct: did you remove those apache packages? [16:14] daemonicapathy, it said the device isn't mounted [16:15] ardchoille, soory give the command [16:15] chinneseproduct: I don't know which packages you need to remove. What did ikonia say? [16:15] Did you put the correct substitution for ? e.g., to unmount my hard drive, it would be "sudo umount /dev/sda1" [16:15] ardchoille, i think its sudo apt-remove apache [16:15] sorry - just on the phone [16:16] * ardchoille would have just reinstalled ubuntu by now and solved the whole issue [16:16] daemonicapathy, according to terminal http://paste.ubuntu.com/1269515/ [16:17] Hey wilee-nilee you there? [16:17] ardchoille, see the ikonia msg " I'm guessing your packages are out of sync with the cache" [16:17] hi...i am having probs with settinp up monitors in a particular orientation..i have a laptop and another monitor is oriented on top of it...prob is that windows opened up on the laptop hide under the main menu [16:17] ardchoille, he didnt specify which package [16:18] Domincii: Ah. In that case, you may have to do this all from an account that isn't depending on it as a home folder. The only other option would be to unmount with the -l flag, and I think that would cause problems here. [16:18] chinneseproduct: I feel you need to learn to utilize your scrollback I'd suggest removing those apache packages, clearing the cache and trying again [16:18] i.e. main menu overlaps with the windows ...so im unable to see the entire window on my laptop screen [16:19] daemonicapathy, I only have one account, should I create a new one to do this?

[16:22] chinneseproduct, then you need to clear the apt cache, and then update apt again [16:22] chinneseproduct, otherwise it'll not do squat.

[16:24] * TheLordOfTime returns to dissecting php5's code [16:25] TheLordOfTime, ardchoille tells me that to clear the cache and you u tell me to remove the package first and then cache [16:25] chinneseproduct, clearing the cache is the same thing, though. and if you read the scrollbacks, ikonia suggested removing the packages as well [16:25] are the amazon adds on by default?

[16:59] wilee-nilee and what about others for swap etc? [16:59] ArcaneWater, for example on a 160 gig HD I have 4 OS the W7 in a 40 gig and the others since they are linux a bit smaller and a NTFS to share with the W& and linux install 4 partitions, the ntfs for windows and share are primary partitions the other 3 are logicals in a extended. [16:59] wilee-nilee: be really careful sharing NTFS partitions with Linux [17:00] yeah you're right [17:00] wilee-nilee: the lack of case sensitivity will cause some deeply strange things to happen when you least expect it [17:00] gordonjcp, why it is a stand alone I have never had a problem I don't read an write in the windows only the shared. [17:01] gordonjcp, I see what you mean I don't edit windows from linux. [17:02] ArcaneWater, I use a swap in the OS that adjust with needs, I don't hibernate so this works for me a normal swap would be equal to the ram at the least. [17:03] basically unless you had like 8 gigs of swap and never really used it, it is for hibernate primarily, unless you are using up the ram while using the OS. [17:03] Hi, I have 2 questions: 1- Could cause some problem to have other window managers installed in Ubuntu (for example, I have installed LXDE and JWM) ? 2 - I installed JWM in Ubuntu 12.04 but if choose that window manager, I see a black screen and I have to reboot and choose a different window manager. Will it be fixed? Thank you ! [17:04] how long does a package wait in the proposed queue til it makes -proposed?

Now it just boots with XP, how can i dual boot? [17:12] kenshiro, NOt sure to be honest I have not messed with window managers.

[17:30] write* [17:30] bazhang: oops, yes, "app armor". But what is this about? [17:31] gordonjcp, The shared is a stand alone partition no OS. [17:31] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor Mrokii [17:31] Mrokii: so is the system working correctly? [17:31] and some internet pages looks soo slow, im using mozilla, and sometimes the system freeze for like 1 sec [17:32] dr_willis: Yeah, apart from some apps segfaulting now and then everything works fine. [17:32] maybe i have to put on some drivers for this notebook? [17:32] whats segfaulting? i doubt if thats relatered to the apparmour warning [17:32] gordonjcp, I know what your saying though as far as cross writing and differentials between windows and linux. [17:34] dr_willis: different apps, sometimes. Very rare. I doubt it has something to do with App Armor, just wanted to mention it. All in all, the system works mostly correct. [17:34] why does it take so long time to dismount the partitions? [17:34] dr_willis: Just wondered if I should worry about that fail-message or if I should do something about it.

[17:51] gitesh: What exactly are you trying to do? [17:51] Mrokii: My server has the file, but it doesn't appear to be shipped with any package. I'm guessing some script writes/copies it into place. I'm wondering if you tightened the apparmor policy to enforce when it previously was complain, which may be why it refuses to go on. That file is basically for sys-admin fine-tuning, so not strictly necessary (could be empty I guess) [17:52] TJ-: I am not that experienced with Ubuntu and to my knowledge didn't change anything regarding AppArmor or mysql or whatever that is about. [17:52] Mrokii, if you need to fix that, installing mysql-server might fix it, that may include an apparmor profile... [17:53] gordonjcp, I have broken my network manager on ubuntu 12.04 LTS desktop [17:53] Mrokii, is it just saying there's no file, or is it having a major breakage therein, where it stops working altogether for everything else?

No major breakage that I could relate to that. [17:54] wilee-nilee: you mean from gparted... i already before installing ubuntu created a partition at the begining for windows to be installed, so should i just go ahead i install windows 7?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [17:58] Mrokii, TJ-: so something must be creating those files as TJ- said. Actually, on 12.04, for everything in /etc/apparmor.d/local/, there is a file one level up but none of the files in local/ are provided by a package (except for the README :P) [17:58] brb [17:59] jrib: Well, I guess I'll just ignore it, as TheLordOfTime suggested.

[18:02] crazydip: xserver-xorg-input-wacom is indeed installed. Why is my tablet not recognised, then? Is there a list of packages I should have installed, or is there more to do? [18:02] Fanshawe: if you are not on 12.04 then you should upgrade - also in case you need a newer version that is not in the repo you may want to look into the xorg ppa on launchpad [18:02] Fanshawe: no idea, works for me... you should read that wiki [18:03] Fanshawe: it no doubt depends on what tablet you have (maybe it uses some non-standard wacom hardware) [18:03] Fanshawe: anyway, good luck (i need to get going) [18:03] hello, I'm looking for a frontend to usbmon output in debugfs.

Just use the custom install in the windows install to use the sda1. You also have a sda5 unknown is this a swap and is this all encrypted? [18:06] it is a swap [18:06] I think I've found the problem. I need to install wacom-tools. [18:06] But it is not in any of my repos? [18:07] klaxtr, Actually the sda2 is to big for a boot, so just move the flag to sda1, and you should be okay, The swap is showing as unknow is this due to a encryoted setuo? [18:07] encrypted* [18:07] how can i know that?... to know if its encrypted [18:09] sda2 is for OS, in any case i want to try some othe distro [18:09] klaxtr, You would know if you encrypted it, it is a extra process to do that. I would remake the swap by just clicking on it and remake the swap, do not delete it first as it will change the partition number.

[20:33] paulus68: Ahhh OK it's easy. Just add the username and password to the 01proxy statement similar to this: Acquire::http::Proxy "http://username:password@proxyhost:port/"; [20:34] haiQt, dont use wubi, install ubuntu nornali on separetes partition only!!! [20:34] what is wubi? the step i'm trying to do now? [20:35] haiQt, i supposed u using wubi installer to install ubuntu next to win, dont u? [20:35] thx, looks promising - ive tried gpointing-device-settings but it resets once user logs out - and then needs to be set again [20:36] i don't know, i just downloaded the .iso from ubuntu site and put it on a usb drive using lili usb creator [20:36] TJ-: ok [20:36] Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS 64 bit <--- this is the one i downloaded [20:36] didnt know the 'gsettings' command - is it a new util for administration in gconf? [20:37] haiQt, the best way to how to install ubuntu properly is to chose installation option "Something else" [20:37] Is it obvious to anyone what I am doing wrong? This is from my /etc/fstab. When I mount -a it says "Line 12 is bad" which is this: //192.168.1.100/G\ Drive /home/greg/G-Drive cifs credentials=/home/greg/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,noauto,rw 0 0 [20:37] how do i send packages build in Launchpad to debian upstream? i have been asked to do so by a debian maintainer [20:38] haiQt, WE define drive as a hard drive the picture you show is on one HD and would split it. If you want these installs an seperate HD's you need to use the something other option a manual install. [20:38] haiQt: You're doing fine. That's the partition resize utility... You're resizing an existing hard-drive partition and creating free-space that can be used to create a second partition. [20:38] klgwb missing option parameter '_netdev' which will delay mount until network is up [20:39] haiQt: The partition on the left side is your existing partition, likely the one with Windows on it. The partition on the right isn't created yet, it's the free-space that will be created once you shrink that partition. [20:39] oh okay, that's easy then [20:39] why can't i do it that way? it seems it's frowned upon or something? [20:39] haiQt, Do youn have the windows backed up? [20:40] you* [20:40] not really but it's a fresh install (formatted yesterday) [20:40] but i'd rather not have to go through installing all adobe apps & IDE's again [20:40] takes a while [20:40] haiQt: One thing I would suggest, though.. Is use Windows to resize your Windows partitions, not Ubuntu. [20:41] Esp. if you're using WIndows 7 or WIndows 8. [20:41] haiQt, You should always be backed up that install had a lot of updates, if something goes wrong you will have to do it again. [20:41] Sorry, closed in error, if anyone said anything about the mount line in my fstab :/ [20:41] ok so the safest thing to do right now is to go back into windows and create a small partition (around 15-20GB) to install ubuntu on? [20:42] Are there any good DNS alternatives out there in comparisson to my ISP's? [20:42] Windows 7's Storage snap-in can resize ("Shrink") a volume very well. Use that to shrink your volume and create some free-space, say 100gb. Then restart the computer with your USB Ubuntu LIveCD and install Ubuntu to that free-space. Ubuntu should find it and use it automatically. [20:42] Where would I put a line to autostart a program when X starts? (before logging in) [20:43] mrhubrisje: There's openDNS (Search google) but as far as "better", if by "better" you mean speed you wont find anything faster than your current ISP's DNS server, I would imagine :P [20:43] Since your ISP's going to assign one based on your geographic location. [20:43] mrhubrisje: google has some public dns servers, there's also 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.1 which are good [20:44] I found Comodo, Open DNS and Google DNS. but i'm wondering if they are any that i can trust with my "behaviour" [20:44] mrhubrisje: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 are Google's https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/ [20:44] k1gwb: did you see : mschr > klgwb missing option parameter '_netdev' which will delay mount until network is up ? === greylurk_ is now known as greylurk [20:45] hello [20:45] haiqt IMO the best partition setup is [128MB /boot] + [RAMx2 GB swap] + [20GB+ /] (optionally [XGB /home[) [20:45] /boot and swap being primary partitions [20:46] hi, what is the command to unistall virtual box?

[20:46] bits8mybytes 5 kernels ~= 100 MB [20:46] What is the benefit to having so many partitions all on a single mechanical drive, though? :\ [20:46] I thought swap beyond 4Gig was uneccesary [20:46] mschr, boot partitions are hardly never needed. [20:47] because above 4gigs of ram you probably don't need swap [20:47] Except the /home, which makes sense to mount /home from a completely seperate mechanical drive for extra capacity.. Otherwise I don't see a benefit? [20:47] or a large swap that is [20:47] masturbation, Change your nick that is offensive [20:47] haha [20:47] <[twisti]> what about that is offensive ?

[21:02] ok [21:02] great did the jogb [21:03] gabrieluk: in any case please see http://askubuntu.com/questions/22200/how-to-uninstall-a-deb-package [21:04] ok [21:04] any help [21:06] guntbert, ok, great, synaptic does the job. another question, if install with a ppa do i have it on synaptic also? does synaptic holds all apps in the system including libs etc? [21:09] guntbert, oh yeah, i see now, it hold everything [21:12] How do i make it so that i dont have to write my password when ssh'ing a server? Do i need to put my public key somewhere on the server? [21:12] bonsoir...

[21:14] Q: There's a program that I download as a package, has one executable file. Where should I place the extracted folder ? Thanks! Also what to do to put in the sidebar tks [21:16] diverdude for a lil more info [21:16] diverdude ssh-keygen && scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa remote_host:~/.ssh/$USER_key && ssh remote_host 'cat ~/.ssh/$USER_key >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2' [21:16] overclucker: Hrmm so.. If / is say 20gb and /home is 80gb.. If /home reaches 80gb, / is still fine and the OS is bootable without problems? [21:16] overclucker: Is that what you mean? [21:16] thx [21:17] diverdude: note mschr's command also copies your private key which you may not want [21:17] michealPW: yup [21:17] I see.. [21:17] Touche.. Good argument :P [21:18] I find a lot of times my / is ballooning in size far faster than /home 'cause I install everything I find that sounds interesting on Ubuntu Software Center (rofl) [21:18] why is the gui updater app showing me kernel updates when the apt-get upgrade is telling me it's holding packages back [21:19] eilyx: kernel won't get upgraded unless you do: apt-get dist-upgrade [21:19] I set aside 200gb for my entire, single-partition / though [21:19] !dist-upgrade | eilyx [21:19] eilyx: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. [21:19] So I don't think I'll have any capacity issues 'cause I use WIndows for Gaming, which has 1.3tb hehe! [21:19] michealPW: also, /usr and /var can become filled up easily so separate partitions for those is also popular [21:20] jrib, no that is not a dist upgrade it is the update manager that is tellingme i have packages waiting [21:20] overclucker: So that answers my question about freeBSD.. When I tried freeBSD (Admittedly awhile ago now..) it strongly encouraged me to create a whole bunch of partitions [21:20] eilyx: right, so install the kernel upgrade if you want it. If you prefer to use the command-line, then do « apt-get dist-upgrade » [21:20] Which I did. It was just easier to do what it said than try to go against the current haha [21:21] I never knew the benefit, though [21:21] just what is a dist-upgrade [21:21] eilyx: read what ubottu said [21:21] Besides scalability. I think it would be neat to be able to swap-in/out drives, having the system's filesystem seperated the way it is I think that wouldn't be too difficult [21:21] With the windows-style it would be a real chore haha [21:22] Q: I've installed a program on /opt and I want to create a shortcut on the left sidebar of unbuntu 12.04, how to do that ? Tks [21:22] jrib, how is a kernel update considered a dist-upgrade? [21:23] I don't understand why some Linux distros like Fedora have a /run/media/username and populate userland-filesystems in there while debian and ubuntu use a /media. [21:23] shwaiil: Start the program, it will have an icon on the left panel, the right click on that panel, and select "Lock to launcher". [21:23] eilyx: the way a new kernel is delivirede is by changing the dependency of the "linux-image-generic" package. Apt-get won't install packages because of a changed dependency unless you issue a "dist-upgrade" [21:23] Also the /usr is different in a lot of different linux systems. Crazytown! [21:23] It plays awful games with my poor memory ;( [21:23] shwaiil: create a .desktop file for the app in /usr/share/applications/ (bekks, that won't help without a .desktop file) [21:23] bekks: thanks a lot for looking! I really appreciate it [21:23] trism: tks for looking. A .desktop file ?! :Z [21:24] trism: I never created a .desktop file when locking applications to the launcher. [21:24] jrib, oh ok. thanks [21:24] bekks: they won't stick if the app doesn't have one [21:25] bekks: after restarting the icon is still there ? cool [21:25] in my other laptop I had a different version of ubuntu, older and its much better, this new one sucks 12.04 [21:25] top left corner I used to have applications etc [21:25] shwaiil: trism is right, you need a .desktop file. I just checked it, and apparently all apps I locked have .desktop file :) [21:26] :I [21:27] how remove NUMBERING from my unity icons? [21:28] I don't know what happened but now my trash can has a "t" [21:28] and my other icons have "1", "2", "3", etc. [21:29] shwaiil: if you check out the ones already in that directory you should get the general idea, or if you have gnome-panel install you can use gnome-desktop-item-edit to create one [21:29] lemmie see if log out will fix [21:30] why did they make this so difficult [21:30] wow :P [21:30] !imagebin [21:30] Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. === PippinW_ is now known as PippinW [21:32] diverdude jrib yea, you'd better be using the id_rsa.pub - and delete the temporarily copied file after placing it to remote users authorized_keys2 [21:33] help guys, which channel is for aws ubuntu stuff? [21:34] michealPW: i personally like the official Linux Directory Hierarchy Standard - and I *love* this simple LDHS graph reference: http://imagebin.org/231430 [21:34] paoloumali: aws? [21:34] yes [21:34] i'm always sent to name space [21:35] can i ask web server questions here? [21:35] paoloumali: i believe this is your channel to ask [21:36] ok, default root in ubuntu ec2 instance is ubuntu and im setting up a web server lamp [21:36] what's best practice? create my own account? === vjn_ is now known as vjn [21:37] if i create a user account, should i ssh with that user account, or its just the same if i log in with root, then login as the user? [21:37] crazydip: I don't understand the difference between /usr/local/bin and /opt/bin [21:37] :( [21:38] paoloumali: yes, you should create an account, then after checking if it works, disable root ssh login [21:38] if i disable the root, then who will be able to do admin tasks then? [21:38] /opt/ is a rarely (Well I guess not rarely, but in the distros that I use it's rare) structure it seems. To me /opt/ makes sense, its optional software.. To me /usr/bin doesn't make sense 'cause what software is multi-user like that really?! [21:38] paoloumali: what you are after server security - whether aws or not it's all the same [21:39] I mean, what software would need /usr/michealpw/bin and /usr/crazydip/bin haha I don't get it? :\ [21:39] paoloumali: i did not say disable root, i said disable ssh root login [21:39] michealPW: one difference. thins in /usr/local/bin are supported in #ubuntu, things in /opt are not ;) [21:39] zykotick9: Hah! Interesting.. [21:39] paoloumali: Root isn't enabled on Ubuntu anyway. [21:39] I see. so the best practice is just use a user account and then sudo when needed [21:39] paoloumali: Yes. [21:40] but for user to do sudo [21:40] michealPW: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ [21:40] he mush have that right [21:40] paoloumali: Yes. [21:40] adding him in admin group [21:40] automatically add him to sudoers? [21:40] paoloumali: Now 'sudo' group. [21:41] Thx, overclucker ;) [21:41] when i add him in sudo group: he will be like admin when he sudoes then [21:41] jpds: are you sure it's not enabled in aws? some providers enable root in ubuntu server [21:41] How does Fedora use su -c 'yum intall somePackage'? I tried on Ubuntu and that doesn't work, I need to use sudo? :\ [21:41] Confusing haha [21:41] su -c seems to log-in as Root temporarily.. [21:41] jpds: nevermind, i just found out it's disabled but sudo is apparently passwordless [21:42] Sudo iunno wth's going on 'cause I enter my own user's pw :\ [21:42] crazydip: It's not. [21:42] michealPW: simple rule, don't use su on ubuntu [21:42] haha zykotick9. I know, but I want to learn :P [21:42] michealPW: also if you looking for info on directories "man hier" for some info [21:42] Why's the difference, really? On Fedora I added my user to the sudoers file so I could sudo like I do on Ubuntu haha [21:43] 'cause that way my wife could just type her password in to do things instead of also remembering root's pw ;) [21:43] Hi. Does anybody know of a DLNA server that runs from CLI? [21:44] michealPW: and just for the record, there is not such thing as /usr//bin - just /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin :D [21:44] haha [21:44] That's why /usr doesnt' make sense to me though [21:44] crazydiamond, i've always maintained a ~/bin [21:45] almost every system i've ever had an account on had a bin dir in my home === cesar is now known as Guest43693 [21:45] hdon: not yet diamond, just dip for now :D [21:45] does anyone know when postgres 9.2 will find its way to the offical repo? [21:45] crazydip, sorry [21:45] hdon: sorry, but what have I asked? [21:45] crazydiamond, nickcomplete miss [21:45] oh ok [21:45] <[1]Snicers-Work> I enabled the mpm-worker for apache but now it says I don't have access to index.php [21:45] <[1]Snicers-Work> Any ideas why? [21:46] 1,590 users will do that to you [21:46] readign those manuals now, brb :P [21:46] yes, ~/bin is for the individual user - no such thing as /usr/hdon/bin :D [21:47] crazydip, well, you coudl make it, if you wanted [21:47] Q: I've got a Killer Wirless-n 1102 installed automatically by ubuntu 12.04 LTS. My connection drops at least twice or more every 20m. I'm wondering if there's a way to fix this ? Thanks! I'm 5m from the router [21:47] and this wireless device is supposed to be "good" :P at least was expensive [21:49] shwaiil: it may be the router settings - i had something similar it had something to do with a stupid outdated router check that was used for backward compatibility with windows, but i don't remember what exactly [21:49] hdon: fyi if you create a ~/bin and logout/backin it will automatically be added to your PATH [21:49] crazydip: hi! i got the same card ? Well all other computers worked just fine... this is a new one... no one ever complained, even running older ubuntu versions with older computers [21:50] Really? [21:50] hrmm! [21:50] AR9462 Wireless Network Adapter - this is what i've got as driver for the killer wireless-n [21:50] zykotick9, i've never seen that. always added it in my shell profile myself [21:51] hdon: that is redundant ;) [21:51] hello there. Anyone familiar with upstart please ? Igot a job defined in /etc/init/foobar.conf but `start foobar` just says it is unknown. I got no log in /var/log/{daemon.log,debug,syslog} :-( [21:52] zykotick9, apparently so! [21:54] shwaiil: sorry, could not find a solution for you and i don't have any experience in network card problems [21:56] CrazyEddy: fine tks ;D === `mOOse` is now known as jijiji === jijiji is now known as m00se === Abbas5 is now known as Abbas- === Abbas- is now known as Abbas5 [21:59] is it possible to set it so that you toggle minimized and open when you click a program icon in the dash? The only thing that happens now is that the program is given focus, but when you click again nothing happens. [22:00] Sorry, didn't mean dash, but the launcher [22:00] ceed^, i think ive seen some ways to do that.. but never really looked into it. the webupd8 and omgubuntu blog sites may mention how to do it. [22:01] hi, i want to adjust a directed antenna. is there a software that i can use to measure signal strength (with high time resolution)? [22:02] Dr_willis: Thanks, I will look there and see if I can find it. I wonder why that isn't default behavior. [22:02] ceed^, because its now how they see peopld doing their workflow i guess. [22:02] how do I check what's thrashing a harddisk when there is nothing in iotop? [22:03] hello [22:03] I rarely minimize windows these days. I tend to fullscreen them all and alt-tab around [22:03] Did anyone has ever had problems with arrow keys? [22:03] Dr_willis: Ah ok, I guess I'm old fashioned. i hardly ever maximize programs and use Alt-Tab once a week maybe.. :) [22:04] In ubuntu... I have a fresh install and my arrow keys dont work [22:04] ceed^, unity has all sorts of hotkeys to jump about from differnt windows.. [22:04] <_alpha_> hi all - I've been trying to fix some graphics issues but now I can't get past the login screen (just bounces me back to login); however the guest session works fine [22:04] <_alpha_> what do I do? [22:04] this is really starting to piss me off -_- [22:04] it just disktrashes randomly for no reason [22:05] What is? [22:05] ceed^, in 12.10 i think theres some sort of previews for the windows from the launcher, so minimizing is just the kind of thing ya dont do a lot. [22:05] and iotop says nothing is using the disk [22:05] klop, dont work in what app? do they work in the console? [22:05] do you guys know how to make an ubuntu deployment server that can deploy windows and linux === Abbas5 is now known as Abbas| [22:05] they don't work in bios when booting and don't work in Ubuntu at all [22:06] but a USB keyboard works fine [22:06] If they dont work in the bios.. it sounds like a hardware issue. [22:06] here, again. [22:06] but they worked in windows before I installed Linux [22:06] it goes disk trashing [22:06] while there is NOTHING showing up in iotop [22:07] grrrr pidgin-sip not working with lync [22:07] Any idea what the issue might be? [22:07] klop wats ur problem [22:07] Dr_willis: I'm actually running 12.10 beta on this laptop. I haven't noticed much difference in the launcher yet [22:07] klop, try some differnt live cd/disrtos see if it works in any of them, check the console, see what 'dmesg' output is when you hit the keys.. [22:07] arrow keys not working [22:07] after a fresh install of Ubuntu [22:07] not working at all [22:07] or just in ubuntu [22:08] it worked in windows before installing Linux [22:08] http://pastebin.com/RFF5AtfK [22:08] klop: You sure you have the correct keyboard setup? [22:08] can someone please point me to a "for total idiots" explanation of what index is in git? i just don't get what the point of it is - i use bzr (and svn in the past) [22:08] does it work in windows now and the bios? [22:09] Doesn't work in bios neither. [22:09] ok if it is an external keyboard it is probably broken or u messed a config up [22:09] I do have the correct keyboard set up. all the other keys are working fine [22:09] ok then it sounds like a hardware problem [22:09] where can i find the keyboard config file? [22:10] we'll if it's not working even in the bios then the keyboard is either broken or something wacked in bios settings [22:10] klop: ^^ [22:10] if it doesn't work in the bios and every other key works its hardware [22:10] Hmmm will have to play a bit more in bios then... [22:10] reset ur bios by moving ur jumper from 1-2 to 2-3 then back [22:11] klop: Dash > Keyboard Layout [22:11] and if u still have the problem get a new keyboard and try [22:11] thank you for help you all! My wife is getting annoyed with typing so it's time togo to sleep [22:11] ceed^: but his keyboard does not even work in bios, so it's not an ubuntu issue [22:11] I will try that... [22:11] yea its hardware [22:11] just try a new keyboard [22:11] thanks ... night night you all. [22:11] nite [22:11] ISTguy15: or some insane bios setting :D [22:11] I just setup a ubuntu file server for a small office and put it on the network. Now I want to be able to log in from home, but I'm lost on where to go from here. Any suggestions? [22:11] crazydip: I see that now. Sounds like a hardware issue then [22:12] night klop [22:12] bigbill, learn to use ssh so yuou can ssh in to it? [22:12] yea dip it could be but that doesn't sound like it is possible [22:12] but it could be computers do get out of wack like that [22:12] yes I have putty open in another window now [22:12] do you guys know how to make an ubuntu deployment server that can deploy windows and linux [22:13] bigbill: setup ssh server (sshd) on the ubuntu file server and you can login from wherever you want, so long as you have network access to it (internet) [22:13] bigbill: you'd need to open a port on the firewall in your office, to allow you to ssh [22:13] I can access from within the lan, but how to I access it from outside the lan? [22:13] bigbill: or if you feel brave, set up a VPN [22:14] bigbill: look up port forwarding [22:14] bigbill: you need to go into ur router and port foward ur ip with port number 22 (if that is ur ssh port) [22:14] the default is port 22 for ssh [22:15] have any of you guys played with ubuntu 12.10 [22:15] i dont really see too many changes except for the kernel update [22:16] Ok so open a port on the router then I can see my ubuntu box? What security upgrades should I look into? === Snake is now known as tpe [22:16] can you elaborate on that more what do you mean by security upgrades [22:16] ISTguy15: news items on 12.10 changes: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/tag/quantal [22:17] thanks crazydip ill check into it [22:17] bigbill: port forwarding explained: http://www.howtogeek.com/66214/how-to-forward-ports-on-your-router/ [22:18] well i don't want someone to hack into the system. so what should I do as far as security? [22:18] change ur default ssh port to something else then foward that port, give ur system a static ip (internal of course), and make a complex password [22:19] then you should be good [22:19] thats all the security you should need [22:19] ok, cool, thanks for the help [22:19] yep [22:19] ISTguy15: you don't need to change your ssh port [22:20] bigbill: leave your default ssh port alone, it'll only confuse matters [22:20] if u change the ssh port then people wont find it out as easy [22:20] the default ssh port is 22 [22:20] ISTguy15: yes, but you don't need to change it on the server === jill is now known as Guest70379 [22:20] bigbill: from most secure to least secure 1) don't port forward, setup a VPN instead (lots of work) or 2) port forward and setup ssh key's and don't allow password logins (little work) or 3) make sure you have a crazy good password (least work). of course #3 should still be pretty darn secure [22:20] just set something else as the external port when you forward it [22:20] you dont but you can change it for better security [22:20] he was looking for a way to be most secure [22:20] ISTguy15: it makes no difference to the security [22:21] ISTguy15: it's a bad idea to use anything other than the standard SSH port on the server [22:21] you have to know the port number to access ssh through ssh [22:21] bigbill: don't change your ssh port, it makes no difference to security since a simple scan will reveal you changed it anyway [22:21] ISTguy15: it *does* help to forward it to an "unusual" port on the WAN-facing side of the router [22:21] yea but u have to put more effort into the scan [22:21] crazydip: eh, I've found it quietens things down a bit [22:22] crazydip: it keeps the really lazy skript kiddies out [22:22] gordonjcp: aye [22:22] lol [22:22] right, a port sniffer is a pretty basic intrusion tool, a vpn sounds like fun, but would probably take away from my real work too much [22:22] you could scan me and find none of my ports because my network firewall stops you [22:22] linux is powre! :) [22:22] bigbill: it's not actually that hard, particularly if you use pptp [22:23] pptp isn't massively secure [22:23] it's "good enough" but if someone is suitably determined they can probably find a way in [22:23] gordonjcp, bigbill : if you intend to use password on server, a much better option than changing port is to setup fail2ban [22:23] thats a lot more involved a strong password will be good enough [22:23] yup [22:24] bigbill: tbh if you were using pptp and I wanted to crack my way into your network [22:24] so a failed password attempts bans that ip? [22:24] bigbill: yes, and you set how many failed attempts and for how long the ban lasts [22:24] I have a D-Link DWL 520 wireless card that is recognized but has no MAC address and receives no stations. Could anyone help? [22:24] cool [22:24] wow i didn't know about that i might get that [22:24] bigbill: I'd probably eschew actually fiddling around spoofing my way into your pptp vpn, and simply bundle you into the back of a van and apply a length of hydraulic hose to the soles of your feet, repeatedly ;-) [22:24] fail2ban [22:25] this is generally accepted as the most effective route to gain access to any network [22:25] its actually not hard to get into a pptp vpn [22:25] ISTguy15: yeah, you just kidnap an admin and torture them a bit [22:25] it's pretty quick and easy [22:26] haha ok [22:26] haha, well, now i have a couple of things to read about at work all day tomorrow [22:26] ISTguy15: fail2ban kills those chinese and russian script hack bots pretty quickly [22:26] crazydip: yup [22:26] good luck [22:27] so i guess no one has a solution to my question [22:27] I am trying to figure out if I need to do more or if the card is bad or other.

My laptop is a Clevo (custom) and the card is Killer Wireless-N 1102 802.11 a/b/g/n Mini PCI. If I need to change for driver support under ubuntu, what should I get ? Is there something that will work without problems ? Tks [22:50] or "cat [file] | pastebinit" and grab url to give to us [22:51] schultza: useless use of cat [22:51] guys!

[23:08] shwaiil: do the command "sudo apt-get install update-manager-core" then "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" [23:09] thawnet: go to your file browser and go to /media and see if it is there [23:09] if not u have to mount it through terminal [23:09] ISTguy15: the only reason I'm willing to do that is because I just got a new computer and my wireless card is always disconnecting.

First: Computer set to autologin. I installed Xubuntu, ran fine, suddenly however, it isn't. It won't make it past the splash screen, but the system is set to autologon. I need to change the preferences so that it log onto unity instead. (Am currently on a flash drive live cd as I cannot log in to access things.) Anyone able to help? (Sorry if this is a bit long) [23:16] invalid signal specification [23:16] omegaweopon: fyi, autologin = fail [23:16] it's a clevo w307er, i7 2.4, ssd 128gb, 500gb, gtx 660m, atheros wireless ar9462 (sold as killer wireless-n 1102) [23:17] at least ar9462 is what ubuntu installed [23:17] as a driver [23:17] @zykotick where is that option, and where cna I change that? [23:17] Simple question: There is an Ubunto 10.10 installation in the office that *will* be upgraded within the month. But for a quick improvement -- how can I upgrade firefox right away? Is there something in Syntaptic to set the repositories to a newer version or something? [23:17] ISTguy15: [23:17] ok lemmie try the kill -9 [23:17] you may need a different wireless card [23:17] wabash: download it from firefox.com [23:17] omegaweopon: boot to ur regular system [23:17] Good evening! I'm trying to deactivate my Ubuntu keyring (which is not Gnome keyring anymore?). For this purpose I am following some instructions from german Ubuntu wiki to remove 2 lines from /etc/pam.d/lightdm. I wanted to save the original lightdm file under a different name first, i.e. rename it in temrinal using rename. I'm afraid I did something wrong there. Can someone help mr with the command? [23:17] omegaweopon: see "/msg ubottu tab" and i have no idea. i'm just saying, that using autologin... if a bad idea. [23:17] xangua: Is there a way to do it through the ubuntu repositories? [23:18] wabash: as 10.10 is no longer supported, no [23:18] xangua: I'm aware of that. Is there a way to add a newer repository to the repo list? [23:18] shwaiil: look for other drivers first [23:18] omegaweopon: did you boot into ur system [23:18] "backports" I guess is what it's called? [23:19] I'm on the computer I need to fix. I can't boot into the system, and still be here :X [23:19] ISTguy15: been trying so many different things in the lasst 4hours [23:19] shwaiil: then u might need another card [23:20] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2035902 [23:20] omegaweopon: the way to fix it is to boot into ur regular system [23:20] omegaweopon: im trying to help you [23:20] thousands of thanks to Cong and zykotick9 that did it!! [23:20] I was gonna look up the rename man and typed "rename man". a long process was started (went on until I closed terminal) and I'm afraid it may have done something terrible. Pls tell me not all man pages are deleted now or sth... [23:21] ISTguy15 Yeah, I understand that, but how do I boot into the normal system without it logging on for me? Also when I do that, I won't be in this room to be able to take further instructions. [23:21] just trust me i have my ways :) [23:21] So you want me to restsrt my system completely? [23:21] bennypr0fane, rename = mv [23:21] is there an easier way to rename a file as root (easier than sudo rename....)? [23:21] omegaweopon: im gonna message you so we have a private chat so ppl aren't flooding chat [23:22] bennypr0fane, you should be ok, it likely didnt do anything [23:22] I really hope so [23:22] omegaweopon: just go to the private chat [23:23] Er. I'm on the webchat.freenode.net I didn't get a private tab.. [23:23] Oerheks I have a wiki page right here says rename and mv are NOT the same [23:23] ok ill tell you how to do it write it down [23:24] when i tell you the steps tell me when to go to the next step [23:24] omegaweopon: 1. boot to ur hard drive [23:24] omegaweopon: 2. press ctrl + alt+ F3 [23:25] omegaweopon: 3. login to ur account in terminal [23:25] bennypr0fane, rename (on my system) is a shell script that adds extra functionality to mv [23:25] omegaweopon: 4. type "sudo nano /etc/gdm/custom.conf" [23:25] Oh, mate actually. I think I got it. I was able to mount the file system, enter the lighdm configuration, and comment out the autologin line.... [23:26] yep thats it [23:26] try it [23:26] So, commenting that out should do that trick then? [23:26] I'll be back to tell you if it worked. [23:27] pfifo it says differently in this wiki but nevermind, I just want to rename this one file [23:27] wait did it say "AutomaticLoginEnable=true [23:27] pfifo "lightdm" to "lightdm.old" or whatever. I need to be root for that though. How can I do it? [23:27] sudo su bennypr0fane [23:28] type sudo for privilege escalation for root [23:28] yekoms and then? the complete command would be awesome [23:28] bennypr0fane, 'sudo -s' or 'sudo -l' [23:28] the rename command I need [23:28] mv oldname.ext newname.ext [23:29] bennypr0fane: mind me asking why you're renaming lightdm? [23:30] Mate, I am in, and golden. [23:30] good [23:30] jrib, hes backing it up [23:30] jrib yes, that [23:30] did u completely get rid of AutomaticLoginEnable= [23:30] pfifo it seems mv is a lot simpler [23:31] Did not delete it, I just commented it out. [23:31] no u want to set it to false dont comment it out [23:31] when does ubuntu come out to the public for android [23:31] Well, I can do that now that I am in, so that helps. I'll do that now. [23:31] 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 alsamixer 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 do [23:32] ok its so u can use auto login again if u ever want to [23:32] right now I have "sudo rename s /lightdm/lightdm.keyring/" typed in will that do? [23:32] hey guys. i do useradd but when i type in users they don't appear there [23:32] is that by design [23:33] Jayflux: 1) you probably want to use adduser instead of useradd. 2) What do you mean by "type in users"? [23:33] bennypr0fane: you should step back and say what it is that you actually want to accomplish [23:33] I was wondering if it was possible to install ubuntu directly onto a blank hard drive? I don't have a CD-ROM drive [23:33] jrib im writing a script and adduser seems interactive [23:34] Jayflux: yes. A script to do what? [23:34] create me a new user, userad seems uninteractive to adduser [23:34] For now, honestly this installation of Ubuntu is a temporary thing. I was using Crunchbang, but the drivers for my video card caused all sorts of nightmarish errors. So, for now I've got this installed while I learn which packages to throw together to make my own Debian system. I made a few mistakes in the set-up of this, that I am just gonna "Live with". Thanks for helping me in though. I'm not messing with my desktop environm [23:34] seit, you need to boot ubuntu to install it [23:35] yep no problem [23:35] when does it come out [23:35] ill see you guys later [23:36] pfifo, hmm, too bad. I'll have to see what else I can come up with [23:36] Jayflux: I'm kind of confused... why would you write a script to do what adduser and useradd already do? [23:36] seit, what are you working with? [23:36] jrib its a long setup, part of that setup is adding a user. I will be adding users automatically throughout the day. Not sitting there manually doing it. This will be automated [23:37] I'm running an 11 install. Have the 12.04 ISO and a blank hard drive I'd like to install onto. [23:37] jrib I think you're confused slightly, Im not trying to replace the functionality off adduser, instead im trying to use it automatically. A script won't work with the interactive adduser will it. [23:38] it's kinda stupid that the mv command is easier to use for renaming than the rename command... [23:38] seit, you can use grub2 to boot an iso file [23:39] bennypr0fane, I think rename is more geared towards bulk renames [23:39] jrib I already did say that [23:39] pfifo, interesting, I'll have a look. Thanks [23:40] bennypr0fane: well say it again [23:41] Hello everyone. I am using 12.04 on an Acer Aspire Netbook with Radeon HD 6290 graphics, I tried everything, different distros, proprietary drivers, free ones, but I can't get flash and html5 videos to play decently in fullscreen in any browser. Any help would be extremely welcome. Thanks. [23:41] Jayflux: so explain what you mean by "type in users they don't appear there" [23:41] jrib: "I'm trying to deactivate my Ubuntu keyring (which is not Gnome keyring anymore?).

[23:41] bennypr0fane, 'deactivate' your keyring with an empty password. [23:42] actually, in that Wiki it says to edit gdm (not lightdm) but that doesn't exist. [23:42] OerHeks but if the password's empty, doesn't mean it'll stop asking for it, right? [23:42] bennypr0fane: it means exactly that [23:43] warm : You could boot into recovery mode from grub, it will give you a command line from which you can uninstall the faulty driver. [23:43] well no I already removed those lines from lightdm, was that wrong? should I undo it? [23:43] bennypr0fane, yes, and you still can store simple passwords for services.

I installed 12.04 onto a flash drive but it doesn't seem to want to update at all. i ended up installing desktop from the Internet with the command line using apt-get ubuntu-desktop, but its still 11.10. i tried using the terminal and going through the update manager and even tried wiping the flash drive and trying again.

I thought it might be solved by changging the nvidia-settings, which i am not authorized to with guest account... [23:45] alright thanks! [23:45] OerHeks Yes to what exactly? [23:45] Greg8823: you should just be able to launch update-manager and it will prompt you if you want to upgrade. No flash drive necessary [23:45] bennypr0fane, asking too many questions afer another, yes -> it'll stop asking for it [23:46] I tried that but it wouldn't accept my root pwd. [23:46] Greg8823: it's likely asking for your user's password [23:46] OerHeks: I already removed those lines from lightdm, was that wrong? should I undo it? [23:47] warm: I don't know about your driver, but from the recovery mode you can run nvidia-xconfig and/or edit your xorg.conf file if you are comfortable with that. === optikx is now known as anxietylinux [23:47] BlackNarcissus: As i was installing the system, i enterd three names, one is my real name, one is for the computer's name, the other is a user name, but the login window only has my real name on it, and the passwd for the only user i created won't work... [23:48] bennypr0fane, only if you want to revert the changes [23:49] I tried that as well, it says incorrect password. It says enter administrative password in the pop up prompt just like it would if i were installing other software.] [23:50] warm: Check if you are typing the right password. It has been double-checked during install so maybe you are typing it wrongly when you try loging in. Check caps lock, keyboard layout, etc. [23:50] Greg8823: verify you typed the correct password [23:50] Greg8823: (it's your user password that it asks for). Do you have a root password as well? [23:50] OerHeks: I removed these 2 lines from lightdm in order to get rid of the keyring: auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so [23:50] session optional pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start do I want to revert that, or will it get rid of the keyring for me? [23:51] BlackNarcissus: ok, thank you for all [23:51] warm: I think recovery mode gives you root so you can change settings from there. (Anyone correct me if i'm wrong) [23:51] bennypr0fane, not sure what howto suggests that, i wouldn't do it like that. [23:51] warm: No problem [23:52] Yes and i tried both passwords multiple times. [23:52] Ubuntuusers.de, it's pretty much the first Ubuntu reference in german language [23:52] Greg8823: why do you have a root password? How did you create it? [23:53] I think Greg8823 may be confusing root pwd with his user password, as I did just earlier today [23:53] I thought what I get asked for when I want to sudo is the root pwd === intervoid`dead is now known as intervoid [23:54] * the password of the first account created with setup, has root priv. [23:55] hello all, [23:55] when there are errors on a RAID-0 ... what should I do? ;>_> [23:55] i have the administrative account that i dont use except for when i want to change the system, then i have my user account for when most of my data and programs [23:55] TimothyA: Ensure you have your backup handy. [23:56] Greg8823: you need to be logged in with your administrative account (i.e. this is not "root") [23:56] just wanted to thanks everyone for the help..I finally got ubunto to work...almost... [23:56] what's the term command for deleting a file? [23:57] rm [23:57] bekks: I do not [23:57] bennypr0fane: rm (warning: you cannot reverse this, so make sure you know what you are doing) [23:57] [23:57] and I am currently kicking my hosting partner to spin up a server so I can move this out ASAP [23:57] okay sorry for the confusion. But i am in my admin account and that password is not working === Abbas5 is now known as Abbas- === Abbas- is now known as Abbas5 [23:58] Greg8823: go to a terminal and write "sudo echo hi" [23:59] TimothyA: Well, then you dont have to worry ;) data not worth backing up is data not worth to be kept ;) [23:59] okay [23:59] i get hi back [23:59] it works there but not for the update [23:59] Greg8823: works in what sense? [23:59] bekks: just.... [23:59] quick question. I'm going to set up an AWS EC2 instance and I can choose Ubuntu server 11.10 or 12.04. Is one recommended over the other? [23:59] it echos hi
