[00:00] Why does pinging my router return "Destination Host Unreachable"? I am connected - even the router interface says so. please help me. [00:00] i need my (internet) connection back... [00:02] check your iptables [00:02] check your interface setup [00:02] check dns, routing, etc etc [00:02] d4rkw0lf, how do I do that and what am I looking for? [00:02] okay [00:02] DNS works - at least I got an IP... [00:02] give us your ifconfig -a [00:02] and your iptables -L -n -v [00:02] nicofs, thats mean not "connected" for logical or tehnicall [00:03] can you resolve a hostname [00:03] blackshirt, d4rkw0lf ping to anything apart from 192.168.1.4 (me) fails. can't resolve anything [00:03] nicofs: FYI you get IPs from a DHCP server. DNS is address resolution [00:04] llike run the command `hot google.com [00:04] `host google.com` [00:04] what do you get then? [00:04] d4rkw0lf, connection timed out, no servers could be reached [00:04] and then do ifconfig -a, iptables -L -n -v .... and paste it to us [00:05] oh wait you cant paste it [00:05] "paste" is nice an idea... exactly... === Flavio is now known as Guest99196 [00:05] are you using dhcp or static ip [00:05] d4rkw0lf, dhcp [00:05] nicofs, is your router blocking icmp traffic? Some call it "DDoS Protection" [00:06] well no cause he cant resolve host names [00:06] pfifo, said router works well with every other device in the network [00:06] okay so hows your iptables setup did you manually do it or use a program [00:06] (including the backup device I use to call for help) [00:06] d4rkw0lf, all via network manager... [00:07] can you ping the router itself [00:07] d4rkw0lf, no [00:07] nicofs, did you put a tick in the "available to all users" box? [00:07] pfifo, yes [00:08] id think you have a problem with the interface setup .... but thats not all it could be im just thinking higher chance [00:08] set it up as static ip [00:08] don't use network manager [00:08] also, is it wireless or ? [00:08] ^ dont use network manager ~ agreed [00:09] holas [00:09] d4rkw0lf, wireless - how do i not use nm? [00:09] nicofs, 'iwconfig' [00:09] okay yeah i bet thats what it is .... on ubuntu networkmanager never worked for wireless, WICD was crap, kept reconnecting every minute [00:09] vi /etc/network/interfaces [00:09] ifconfig -a: "wlan1 inet addr:192.168.1.4 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0" no errors, dropped... some RX and TX bytes... nothing striking [00:10] vi /etc/network/interfaces <------- for permanent settings [00:10] i uninstalled network manager and wicd === theshining_ is now known as theshining [00:10] also I think having both of them installed at once causes them not to work [00:11] d4rkw0lf, maybe because you are skilled enough to fight yourself through the console... oO [00:11] i tried that once and failed. [00:11] i use wpa_supplicant [00:11] nicofs, can you connect and use other routers? [00:12] pfifo, i only have that one. I could try connection to the android hot spot from my mobile... [00:12] nicofs, could be a bad password or such if its only the one router giving you trouble [00:13] just turn off network manager and wicd ... then configure ifconfig, run wpa_supplicant & wpa_passphrase ... then do networking restart [00:13] or dhclient [00:13] if that works, then edit config files and set it up permanatnyl [00:14] d4rkw0lf, is there any easy-to-understand and fool-proof how-to for that? === mikestewart is now known as ms|afk === ms|afk is now known as ms\|afk [00:15] d4rkw0lf, there is a reason why I choose ubuntu with tools like nm over distros like gentoo... i just don't want to be bothered with setting up everything manually... === ms\|afk is now known as ms|afk [00:16] nicofs, ubuntu works pretty good right out of the box when compared to gentoo [00:17] pfifo, that's what I'm saying... [00:18] d4rkw0lf, when I connect to my mobile hot spot everything works... [00:18] all of a sudden im booting up with 80% memory usage [00:18] d4rkw0lf, ok - until the moment the connection is lost... :-/ [00:19] was booting up with about 250MB now its more like 750 [00:20] XiaolinDraconis, use the program 'top' to find which program is causing the problem [00:20] Hi Everyone, is there any way to delete file on ubuntu system using LiveCD? [00:20] pfifo, i did, and i dont see a culprit [00:21] XiaolinDraconis, then perhaps theres a tmpfs mounted? check the output of 'mount' [00:21] Just tried tip how to enable hibernate but it just made my grub curropted [00:21] pfifo, i never set one [00:21] Corrupted* [00:21] pfifo, havent touched fstab [00:22] So wondering to delete the file instead from LiveCD [00:22] WishArt, boot the livecd, mount the filesystem, delete file from filesystem... simple :) [00:23] Hi pfifo, thx u 4 the respon. The filesystem mounted, but seems i can't delete the file. [00:23] tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,size=10%,mode=0755) [00:24] WishArt, become root user 'sudo -s' [00:24] Ah, let me try pfifo :) [00:24] d4rkw0lf, "SET failed on device wlan1 ; No such device." - what does that mean? [00:24] "once you try pfifo, youll never go back" [00:25] lawls [00:25] LOL u're so funny [00:25] nicofs, its named something else, maybe wlan0 or ra0 [00:25] is that tmpf normal? [00:26] tmpfs [00:26] pfifo, but "iwlist wlan1 scan" gave me the networks... [00:26] XiaolinDraconis, having a /run is NOT normal [00:26] didnt think so [00:26] where could it have come from? [00:26] pfifo, "ifconfig wlan1 up" worked aswell... [00:27] pfifo, dmesg: "renamed network interface wlan0 to wlan1" [00:27] Woops, still no delete option one right-click mouse after sudo -s [00:27] nicofs, then im not sure what the problem is [00:28] WishArt, ohh your using a GUI to delete, either delete via command line or run nautilus/pcmanfm as root [00:28] im worried now [00:28] When i tried to access system in media using terminal it said "bash: cd: system: No such file or directory" [00:29] have i been attacked or something? [00:29] But when I typed dir it's there [00:29] !tab | WishArt [00:29] WishArt: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. === guampa|2 is now known as guampa === Cyberspaceloafk is now known as Cyberspaceloa [00:30] XiaolinDraconis, its pretty suspicious, I havent ever had a ubunutu system create a /run [00:31] pfifo, it has folders named samba, network, mount... === Kartrohm_afk is now known as Kartrohm [00:31] and a lot more [00:32] Hi ubottu, thx 4 the suggestion but i can't find tab on my phone :D [00:32] XiaolinDraconis, that sounds pretty bad, you should be thinking of a reinstall at this point [00:32] I mean I'm on irc via phone [00:33] think ill boot my usb copy of arch [00:33] i just downloaded ubuntu, can anyone tell me how to access my windows files? i know it is possible just don't know how to do it. [00:33] Ok, I will google this 1st "Run nautilus/pcmanfm as root" | pfifo [00:33] copy home [00:33] WishArt, you should read through a bash/cli tutorial before you become root and start deleting stuff ;) [00:34] then reinstall [00:34] holy hell how did this happen...

[01:14] wasnt me asking about the alt-tabs .... i was just commenting what I thought [01:14] but yes I google everything --- google is my best friend :) [01:16] google ranks you as friend #24585620014 === Logan__ is now known as Logan_ [01:18] when backing up home its ok to just copy the whole folder and paste it on another partition right? [01:18] It depends on what you're planning on doing [01:18] XiaolinDraconis, that's one way to do it.. of course, doesn't help if the partition is on the same disk and the disk crashes === scottas is now known as zz_scottas [01:19] pfifo: copying to an external ntfs partition [01:19] better to use tar or archive manager and store the tarball on another disk [01:19] XiaolinDraconis, I like to make a tarball of home if its not too big [01:19] I like to dd it into an image so I can mount it later. [01:20] then you waste time and space on unused parts of the disk [01:20] narnie, you cant dd a folder, and if you just want to mount it try "mksquashfs" [01:20] Sorry about my copy and paste, but it's a lot to type. Anyone have suggestions? [01:20] yeah, I generally don't do my home directory, but useful for /boot or a flashstick [01:20] uuuuuhg................. ive done "set -x verbose" so the commands I run would echo ...... but uhm having trouble turning it off now :| [01:21] that reminds me, I need to poke Ted Tso about my e2image patch that makes it usable for creating a raw or qcow2 image without the free space [01:21] d4rkw0lf, unset? [01:22] doooooh brainfart [01:23] pfifo: you're right. I'm forgetting that some don't keep a separate partition for /home [01:24] doesnt ubuntu use / for both / and /home when you do a guided quick install without encryption [01:24] yeah no duuuuuh its set +x verbose [01:24] unset dont do it [01:24] i didnt set a /home in mine, but my /home slice is /home/black/.Private for the encrypted slice. [01:25] always make home partition [01:25] yekoms, im pretty sure the installer doesnt make any extra partitions [01:25] and for the price might as well get a second HDD and keep a backup of your important files [01:26] !netsplit [01:26] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [01:26] ... or just back them up to your phone :) [01:26] mine didnt. i didnt want sda2 /home. i used encryption so it made that for me. === qos is now known as qos|away [01:26] i backup my servers weekly to a NAS. :P [01:27] yekoms, maybe look into duplicity [01:27] if you are doing it manually [01:27] duplicity ? [01:27] http://duplicity.nongnu.org/ [01:27] my backups are .tar files... using putftp with it [01:27] so duplicity does the same thing as tar except its encrypted [01:27] my backups are incremental difftars [01:27] yekoms, rsync can tar and transfer in one shot [01:28] yes why putftp ? [01:28] my backups are cooler than your backups [01:28] pfifo, rsync doesnt check for file changes does it ? [01:28] rsnapshot [01:28] Juv1228, my backups happen once a week, and the space gets cleared month for them, so i never have stale backups [01:28] yekoms, nope, does putftp? [01:29] putftp is a .c i wrote to upload the files to my NAS ftpd [01:29] yekoms, my backups run incremental backups nightly, with full backups weekly === qos|away is now known as qos [01:29] old backup chains are removed monthly [01:29] i want to move my root partition together with my /home partition which is on another disk. Any way how I can do this? [01:29] Juv1228, i dont expect my systems to crash like yours then lol. [01:29] which means i can restore to any day of the last 30 [01:30] my website is backed up nightly cause i edit it daily === Janos_ is now known as Janos [01:31] J11, boot into a livecd and manually move the files [01:32] just make sure you preserve the permissions when you copy from your root partition [01:32] Juv1228: so I take I won't get permisison problems when moving files from / to another partition? === Kartrohm_afk is now known as Kartrohm [01:33] hey there, got a question, what´s the ubuntu policy about adding functionality to stable software ? [01:33] cp -R will preserve the permissions wont it? [01:33] yekoms, no [01:33] cp -pR will [01:33] then what preserves them? [01:33] oh [01:33] -p for permissions ? [01:33] -p same as --preserve=mode,ownership,timestamps [01:34] i wouldnt keep the timestamps the same. or does this matter? [01:34] Janos, in general, changes come from upstream [01:34] yekoms, it doesnt matter [01:34] pfifo, ok so patches like this would be better given to upstream right ? [01:35] Janos, no, submit them to the packages authors [01:35] J11, you might be better off using --preserve=all [01:35] Hey all, anyone have a spare moment for some questions about dual booting? [01:35] ubuntu have xmms ? [01:35] Mike, shoot. === Mike is now known as Guest79054 [01:35] with sshd is there a way to detect the remote hosts uname -s output? [01:36] i suggest you change your nick first Guest79054 [01:36] pfifo, ok, then open a feature request in launchpad with the patch ? [01:36] ezio, ssh hostname uname -a [01:36] Janos, what package are you trying to patch? [01:36] ezio, from the ssh server you want to know the clients uname -s output? [01:36] yes [01:36] then probably not [01:36] without an account EZIO, it wont happen. [01:37] yekoms: ive used xmms on buntu before [01:37] ssh is a one way street, the server cant execute commands on your client machine [01:37] yekoms, i have an account you dolt [01:37] pfifo, transmission, basically the transmission-remote can´t handle the daemon queue at all and i have a patch that adds this functionality [01:37] i'm a dolt? find your own solution. all i was trying to do is help. but forget you. [01:37] Hey I was just asking questions about dual booting but had to change my Nick, my question was. [01:37] yekoms, it meant it far less offensively than that, sorry buds [01:37] New to computers in general here, trying to learn as much as possible! I just built my first PC two days ago and installed Ubuntu 12.04 on it from the get go. I've watched and read a ton of tutorials on how to dual boot to add windows and they all start from having windows first and adding ubuntu, not sure what to do. [01:38] Janos, look in the AUTHORS file in transmission's source tarball and send the patch to the person who is maintaining the package [01:38] i want to try to correct the backspace problem in the .cshrc based on arch, or some way to detect the client's backspace [01:38] redsfan1, you can install windows second, but its a lil harder that way. [01:38] so that my professors will implement it [01:38] redsfan1, windows is a bit of a cry baby about booting [01:38] pfifo, kk thanks a lot [01:38] if you have a second hard drive, its best to install windows to that [01:38] because some of them use sun computers [01:39] Janos, what patch do you have for transmission ? [01:39] on its own [01:39] Any links or tutorials on how to do so? or what do you recommend for a noob? [01:39] !dualboot [01:39] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [01:39] best ones around ^ [01:39] redsfan1, completely disconnect your ubuntu drive while installing windows, then use the ubuntu drive to boot and add windows to grub [01:39] Thanks, does it also say how to partition the hard drive for me to add windows? I've also never done that before [01:39] yekoms, it´s a simple patch that allows you to display/control the queue when controlling transmission-deamon from transmission-remote [01:39] I only have one drive :/ [01:40] redsfan1, the simple answer is windows will kill the grub bootloader when it installs [01:40] Janos, thats already allowed. [01:40] so i'm having a problem with permissions in order to run a game i installed, anyone care to help out? [01:40] so if you install windows second, you will have to repair grub afterwards [01:41] which requires a livecd, or a cd with the grub repair iso on it. [01:41] No idea how to do that, I'm trying to learn though. Is there a way to erase whats on my hard drive (Ubutntu) then install windows from the get go then install ubuntu again? [01:41] yekoms, from transmission-remote ? i´m not using the web internface here at all [01:41] redsfan1, just boot the windows cd [01:41] and format the drive from there [01:41] redsfan1, Install gparted in ubuntu the partitioner, open it and take a screen shot of the HD and put it in a imagebin this will save the 20 questions on getting to a dual boot. [01:41] Its an .iso on CD [01:41] leaving about half free for linux [01:41] !imagebin | redsfan1 [01:41] redsfan1: 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. [01:42] <[x]> how to set up local apache server in ubuntu [01:43] If I put the CD in will I have the option to format my hard drive then install windows and then dual boot Ubuntu after that and make it a little easier? [01:43] Juv1228, YOu can't resize ubuntu with a windows disc you would have to have a unallocted space, or better yet a NTFS already there with a boot flag. [01:43] wilee-nilee, he asked how to erase everything [01:43] and install windows first [01:43] Juv1228, Ah. [01:43] so hooking into my job's VPN seems like it'd be easy ... using ubuntu's "VPN Connections" area [01:44] Looks like I have quite a bit of learning to do, lol. [01:44] may not be needed but one never knows without seeing what is already there. [01:44] which is most definitely the easiest solution for dual booting windows/linux if you can nuke linux [01:44] does anyone use the "VPN Connections" system settings to connect to a VPN? [01:44] redsfan1, If you post the gparted image I think we can bet to better than speculation, and opinions. [01:45] get* [01:45] Wilee, I do not know how to do that. I am new to Ubuntu and building PC's in general. If you do not wish to continue and assist I understand as I am very noobish and do not know a lot currently. [01:46] <[x]> is it possible to extrack .rar filr in ubuntu [01:46] <[x]> what command should i use ? [01:46] You can usually all partitions during Windows install. In rare cases where you can't, Windows drops to a prompt with shift-f10 during initial setup, where you can use diskpart [reading required]. [01:46] wipe* [01:46] I believe I did state my problem, unless you're referring to the repost, in which case I am sorry [01:46] scrot -d 10 is a great screenshot [01:47] redsfan1, You would just install gparted it is in the software center. You would use the prtc key to capture an image of it, you would go to the imagebin link the bot gave post that screen image and opost the url. [01:47] if you built the system, you prob. don't have recovery partition to worry about [01:49] is there something i can do to figure out where that tmpfs came from? [01:49] [x], install unrar package [01:49] how do i check what glib i got? [01:50] x: unrar --help [01:50] <[x]> ok pfifo evoke [01:51] if im using glib2.0, why does xmms ask for >= 1.2.2 ? [01:51] yekoms, your using a very old xmms [01:51] im worried that simply reinstalling will leave me open to attack again [01:51] xmms ? [01:51] open to what attack? [01:52] i was attacked [01:52] somehow a tmpfs filesystem mounted as /run appeared [01:52] had networking files in there [01:52] Downloaded Gparted, trying to find out how to take a screen shot, once second. [01:53] redsfan1_: press prnt_scrn [01:54] what was in /run ? [01:54] Thanks! wille-nilee I took a screen shot, what is the image host link again? [01:54] imagebin.com [01:55] !imagebin [01:55] 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. [01:55] does xmms2 not have a GUI to it ? [01:55] yekoms: a samba folder, a network folder, something about ppp, a lock file, and several other items [01:55] redsfan1_, ^^^^ [01:55] any binary files? [01:55] on my 12.04 server, how can I set domain search suffix? I edited /etc/resolv.conf, but that's reset on reboot. I don't understand how to use resolvconf from the description of man page [01:56] http://imagebin.org/231577 [01:56] yekoms: what would they look like? [01:56] hey how would i access an encryptedfs on an ubuntu 12.04 system, the hard drive has been taken out and put into another 12.04 system. i tried encryptfs-recover-private and it said sucess but i cant see anything in /tmp/whateveritsaid [01:56] ls -la, should have the X flag in the permissions. [01:56] Disregard that wilee I didn't take the screen shot correctly, one second. [01:56] bz0b, did you use the encrypted password? [01:56] yes [01:57] i dont see why it failed. [01:57] XiaolinDraconis, try 'file /path/to/file' it will dump a buch of good info [01:57] well let me pastebin what it said [01:57] pfifo: im not booted to ubuntu, most of the files are gone [01:57] http://imagebin.org/231578 [01:58] That is the correct one. [01:58] XiaolinDraconis, you could still practice on other files if you wanted to [01:58] cd /run && file . -executable [01:58] that will give you a recursive list [01:59] http://pastebin.com/ZR3wtrkF [02:00] wilee did you see my correct image? [02:01] redsfan1_, Yeah I would do the wipe and install as suggested your Ubuntu partition is sda1 you want the windows using that partition, I was hoping that you had a extended around the whole install= the sda2. [02:02] So how do I do that? put in my windows .iso disk and then it will bring up a menu with that option? [02:02] redsfan1_, This W7? [02:02] Yes [02:03] . [02:03] it seems like its working but no data is popping up [02:03] redsfan1_: you can delete partitions during windows setup (choose advanced when asked what partition to use, I believe) [02:03] everytime i pick a directory it shows it as recover in /tmp/ecryptfs.agsdfas324 [02:04] the syntax im typing is $ sudo ecryptfs-recover-private /path/to/home [02:05] or what would be the proper syntax to mount it possible? [02:05] anyone know why emesene contacts don't show up? my wife and i are both online but our contact lists don't show us as online [02:05] redsfan1_, I always use gparted you would use a live cd to make a ntfs first with aboot flag. This will allow you to install in a specific sized NTFS and avoid the windows boot partition. You can make a specfic sized ntfs in the windows install but you would still have the boot partition. Basically we are trying to avoid the resize of W7 after installing to leave space for the ubuntu. [02:05] a boot* [02:05] n0sq: are you using the latest Emesene¿ [02:06] well, it's the latest ubuntu package [02:06] redsfan1_: wilee-nilee has a good point [02:07] Is it possible to just put the .iso W7 disc in then restart my computer and format the hard drive then install windows fresh? I'm not concerned with losing anything as there's nothing on here. Then after windows is installed install Ubuntu back? [02:07] Because what you just said I have no idea how to do. If what I said isn't possible I'll have to read up and expand my knowledge before trying. [02:07] redsfan1_, partiton first, then install [02:08] redsfan1_, Yes, but unless you know how to install windows to a specific sized NTFS you will have to shrink it to have a unallocated space to install ubuntu in. W7 has its own partitioner so it is not a big deal to go this route. [02:08] n0sq: well i have no problems with pidgin but microsoft likes to play with it's protocol once in a while; you might need the latest emesene [02:09] n0sq, you can search launchpad for bugs in emesene [02:09] When I installed Ubuntu over PCLinux on my old computer, It gave me the option to partition the hard drive and install Ubuntu alongside my current OS, if I just formatted my hard drive and installed windows fresh then put my Ubuntu .iso in, would that still be a possibility as that would be easier? [02:10] redsfan1_, yes, that will work, it could take a long time though [02:11] what is the command to update youtube-dl [02:11] xangua: i'd like to have amsn again but 12.04 doesn't have it and building amsn from a tarball is a real hassle [02:11] redsfan1_, You can do that, the general advice though with W7 is to let it resize itself that way you know its working when you install ubuntu, resizing from a install using ubuntu does on occasion cause problems, not often but sisnce this is a fresh install you can always do it again if there is a brick of windows. [02:12] Will it resize automatically? [02:13] redsfan1_, No only with the windows partitioner and you telling it to or you telling it to in the ubuntu install, where you will see a slider to resize with. [02:13] redsfan1_, The only thing automatic in life is falling in love. ;) [02:13] redsfan1_: note: don't resize < 50% of original size. Windows puts master file table (MFT) halfway through partition. [02:14] Ok so I'm going to in a minute, 1. Put my windows iso cd in 2. reboot 3. install windows 4. put my Ubuntu iso in then it will have the option to partition a separate hard drive to put Ubuntu on and I choose that size correct? [02:15] *the size I want it to be [02:16] redsfan1_, You only have one hard drive, but yes the ubuntu install will have a option to install alongside, a slider will show then and you slide it to the left or right to shrink the W7, and install ubuntu to apartion it builds. [02:17] Ok thanks! hopefully in a bit I'll be back in here to tell my tale! Lol! Thanks for all your help everyone. === Ryan is now known as Guest42975 [02:17] evoke, You are right on the unmovable files being a problem. ;) === dad_ is now known as Guest38990 [02:18] redsfan1_, good luck we are all here to help. [02:18] wilee-nilee: annoying when you know what you want and think it should be able to work it out :) [02:19] are tablets PCs or Phones? [02:19] pfifo: computers, imho [02:20] on a tab now; android + gentoo chroot [02:20] evoke, Yeah I forget how long it took me to get the nerve to dual boot, and reload the mbr, I stared on open source and it took awhile. ;) [02:20] started* [02:20] do you need android on a tablet, cause I require linux installed [02:21] android is kindof linux [02:22] tabs are arm processors though; helps to have a distro that directly supports arm [rather than the more typical x86 / amd64] [02:22] Im looking for a computer that i can carry around that has a touchscreen, I thought a tablet would be ideal === overclucker_ is now known as overclucker [02:23] debain supports arm [02:23] How do I remove home, computer, and trash from the mate desktop? [02:24] pfifo, YOU probably want to research what OS will support a touch screen. [02:24] "Linux installer" on android market installs ubuntu, debian [02:24] chrots right in [02:24] chroots* [02:25] Yup [02:25] wilee-nilee, only intrested in linux and it supports touchscreen [02:25] I believe you need bluetooth though for a mouse and keyboard [02:25] linux supports bluetooth too [02:26] Wilee, one last question [02:26] pfifo, I suspected linux, that is why I said I would look for one that has touch screen capability, I'm not sure ubuntu does. [02:26] or a dock. There exist tutorials to put ubuntu directly on tab I believe [no android at all] [02:26] redsfan1, Go ahead [02:27] My windows .iso is 3.4 gigs and I cannot put that on the current cd's I have, can I do everything we just discussed with the windows iso on a usb stick? [02:27] I've heard you can install windows on a usb stick. [02:27] How do I remove home, computer, and trash icons from the mate desktop? [02:27] you can boot windows from a usb stick. [02:27] is there any way to make alt tab always expand my terminals? [02:27] instead of grouping [02:27] redsfan1: you can, yes [02:28] you can do anything you put your mind to [02:28] for instance, try to stop breathing [02:28] redsfan1, Yeah, but I have used the windows dvd to usb loader, some have claimed unetbootin works, never had success myself. You can extract the ISO to a ntfs in the usb in linux and have a bot flag, and it will boot. [02:28] :) [02:28] !ot | ezio [02:28] ezio: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [02:28] boot* [02:29] i have a precise box with chkconfig installed. i think that's causing upstart to act up. didn't want to uninstall it bc i wasn't sure if it would've done things i need it to undo. anyone have advice? [02:29] redsfan1, To exatract the ISO in ubuntu though I believe you have to mount the ISO, it wont just extract with the file loader [02:30] redsfan1 I think it is called the file loader, it will extract if the ISO is mounted, make the usb a NTFS and put a bootflag on it all in gparted. [02:31] maybe a dd works as well, I never dd so others would now the command there, you might try unetbootin first. [02:31] I do not know what most of that is Wilee, I am sorry. Isn't there a way I can just put it on my USB stick, Reboot and make the usb drive the priority so then I can format my hard drive and install from my USB stick? [02:32] redsfan1, sure in windows it is a simple app. [02:32] redsfan1, If you have a dvd burner just get a dvd and burn it. [02:32] What I mean is once I plug my USB stick in and reboot, does it detect the iso on my usb stick while the PC is rebooting or do I have to enter it manually? [02:33] selam [02:33] redsfan1, In linux it is trickier if a auto iso loader like the unetbootin ap does not work, just putting the ISO in the usb I don't think will work. [02:34] redsfan1: usb has special setup. First thing: have you booted from usb before? [02:34] no [02:34] redsfan1, YOu have any friends with windows? [02:34] I have a laptop with windows. [02:34] redsfan1: that might be faster [02:35] redsfan1, Then use this app in windows to load the usb. https://wudt.codeplex.com/ [02:35] -Testing Lag- [02:36] try /quote pong :) [02:36] m4v, o7 xD [02:36] redsfan1,This app will only load a legit windows ISO just a heads up. [02:36] THanks :) [02:36] wilee-nilee: good sugg. [02:36] It's not working... :/ [02:36] you can rip your own windows.ISO. which is legit. [02:36] What's it meant to do? [02:36] works just fine [02:36] Baralabite, it'll tell you serverlag if any. [02:36] works on xchat [02:37] well, works on efnet, idk about freenode :) [02:37] Yekoms how do I do that? the ISO I currently have is my friends as I cannot afford it because of school lol, how do I rip my own? [02:37] Using xchat... Not doing anything though :/ [02:37] Anyway [02:37] I just wanted to see if /whois works on public channels, or just for ops [02:37] Baralabite, /ping is what you use on freenode. [02:37] redsfan1, you wont need too since you have a legit iso copy. [02:38] Can you get banned on here for using a proxy? I was just banned on another IRC for using my home proxy >:I [02:38] I don't know if my friends is legit or not, I'd feel more comfortable ripping my W7 iso from my laptop. === ubuntu is now known as Guest52255 [02:38] Baralabite, xchat has a right click whois when hovering on the nick [02:39] Baralabite, if its a open proxy, some servers will ban you. [02:39] redsfan1, If you are not sure it is legit I would not install it to be honest. [02:39] redsfan1: if it applies, most colleges/univ. have a steeply discounted program to purchase software, Windows for $5, linux cd's on the cheap, etc. [02:39] just put your proxy on ports higher then 62000 and they wont find them. [02:39] What's an open proxy? [02:39] man thats lame.. on other machines i use, for security purposes i always use a proxy [02:39] witajcie kochani [02:39] Baralabite, /ping works on the server window [02:39] Ohh, thanks shantorn :) [02:40] Baralabite, this: transparent proxy: (40317/59321) - 203.113.213.181:80 - (203-113-213-181-static.TCS.netspace.net.au.) [02:40] thats a open proxy. [02:40] I alread checked into that evoke but I am not taking any classes this semester which enables me to get windows for free or at a discount. [02:40] i have this mouse , R.A.T 7, which has all sorts of extra buttons and shit [02:40] Thanks, I'll be back later [02:40] Is there a way to use the iso of W7 I have on my laptop and put it onto my usb stick? [02:40] i was wondering if its possible to assign two of the side buttons for volume adjustment? [02:40] redsfan1, use the windows.iso you got. if you trust your friend, use it. [02:40] redsfan1, You can get a legit ISO, I have alink to digital river but I can't post it per channel rules. [02:40] redsfan1, hang on..are you using ubuntu12.04 or something older? [02:40] jest ktos tu z polski? [02:41] 12.04 [02:41] !pl | Guest52255 [02:41] Guest52255: Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. [02:41] digital river is the one of the distrubution channels for windows. [02:41] and wilee how would you go about sending it to me without breaking rules? its not that I don't trust my friend I just would rather go a way thats 100% legit and I know it is. [02:41] hey, the netflix app for chromium.. does this not work on ubuntu ? [02:42] nie umie anglika! [02:42] redsfan1, http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/234.how-to-deploy-windows-7-from-a-usb-drive-en-us.aspx [02:42] there is a good guide. ive used it twice. [02:42] redsfan1, If you have a key and it is legal MS will let you download. [02:42] So, when you say open proxy, do you mean a proxy that doesn't really have any ACLs? So a public one? [02:43] guys need help. ubuntu 12.04 starts on login screen . But when i put my login name and pass.. it come back to login screen.. but when i put to enter wich a guest .. it works fine.. [02:43] I do not have one, man this is far more complicated than I thought lol. [02:43] And what port did you say you had to go to to prevent people from detecting it? [02:43] redsfan1, here is another one: http://www.rmprepusb.com/tutorials/firawiniso [02:43] you just may have to prove it, running windows without being blegal is not a good idea anyway. [02:43] legal* [02:43] redsfan1, do you want to dualboot win/ubuntu ? [02:43] Yes yekoms. [02:43] you can run win7 without a KEY. [02:43] redsfan1, how old is your ubuntu install? [02:43] One more question.. :P How does proxy detection work, I origionally thought they got the webpages to try and connect to the server via javascript, but since they could do it in IRC, I'm not so sure... [02:44] I installed it yesterday. [02:44] redsfan1, WE are well into offtopic here now you might check with the ##windows channel. [02:44] Baralabite, the IRCd connects to your host on a list of ports, and checks the service header. [02:44] *Try and connect to the server using sockets via javascript [02:44] redsfan1, i'd start over, install windows, leave space for ubuntu, then install ubuntu. [02:44] Okay, so how can I avoid it?

[02:53] * Baralabite just changed his proxy port to 6xxxx [02:53] second hard drive would be the most reliable [02:53] Lets see if it'll fall for it...

[02:53] XiaolinDraconis: I'm not sure there is a good way to backup just the partition, because windows likes to complain if it is moved, or if the partition it's on changes size even slightely, etc... hmm, I'm really not sure what I would recommend for that. [02:54] rgenito: yeah, openvpn config files provided by your office/ [02:55] rgenito: it depends what vpn your office is using, you might need to install a few packages to get it working [02:55] ah, problem is... the company lost their sys admin guy. and i'm that sys admin guy now, and i've never actually connected to a vpn [02:55] ah ok, they're using VPN 3000 something [02:55] Dangit, the website didn't fall for it :/ Maybe IRCd will :} [02:55] i believe it's the "concentrator series" from cisco [02:55] rgenito: prepare your resume and put in your two weeks notice [02:56] Baralabite, how are you testing this proxy? you can use my site to tell if its transparent or elite status proxy [02:56] kunji, HAHA!

[02:58] xmendes, perhaps something in that user's login is causing X to crash? [02:58] hummm [02:58] Baralabite, your proxy is setup as a transparent proxy, you need to set it up for stealth.

[03:01] i just downloaded treesheets from the ubuntu software center - i hit alt-f2 and type in treesheets and see the icon, but can't run it by cliking the icon or through the terminal [03:01] rgenito, if i delete xorg.conf .. fix? [03:01] Baralabite, http://blackness.sytes.net:81/checkme.txt = proxy.php [03:01] Thanks [03:01] xmendes, try it. back it up first of course :) [03:01] ok [03:01] will try [03:02] <[x]> what is cloud computing [03:02] rgenito, why not just ask him to check his logs? [03:02] i thought you already asked him to do that? :) [03:03] i locked myself out of my ubuntu [03:03] no.. :P [03:03] whattt who was that... [03:03] it is a usb bootable linux ubuntu [03:03] the log he needs is in /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log [03:03] 404 :/ But don't worry, I got it anyway, blackness.sytes.net:81/code/src.php?i=checkme.php.src [03:03] there you go. [03:03] i just changed settings to 'no password" but now i am locked ot [03:03] anybody know why or how to fix? [03:03] kamas, have you tried logging in as root VIA terminal from ctrl+alt+f2? [03:03] [x]: hype? More seriously though, services you usually get on the desktop/from a server, provided by someone else's server farms. [03:04] yekoms, good idea [03:04] no i havev not [03:04] on the login window, hit ctrl+alt+f2 it will switch you to a login terminal, try root/passwd. [03:04] !root [03:04] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [03:04] ok, then will i be taken to the normal ubuntu screen? [03:04] then reset your password for user. or change the settings you set before this problem kamas [03:05] L3top, read, i gave a example. i wasnt guessing. [03:05] <[x]> evoke: free services for cloud computing available ? === abuayyoub is now known as babylon [03:05] kamas, yo get back to GUI hit, ctrl+alt+f6 i think ? [03:05] s/yo/to * [03:05] Lol l3top [03:06] i know better then to guess :) [03:06] too * [03:06] ok when im setting keyboard shortcuts, apparently it doesnt consider a button on my mouse as a key [03:06] hey [03:06] i dont know anything about linux [03:06] Difference in chromium-browsers and google-chrome is? Seems to just be the version. 20 vs 22. [03:06] Ctrl + alt + f6 gets you to tty6, or terminal [03:06] chromium is open source [03:06] yekoms: you gave advice to try and log in as root. That won't work. Perhaps you should take your own advice and click the link. [03:06] You can use a live cd to set the root password if you need to, though I forget the exact method, or to add yourself to the sudoers file. [03:06] at least that is how it appears, trying to assign some extra buttons on my mouse to control the volume on my system [03:06] [x], Not a ubuntu question, but here is one link from a simple google search using your question. http://nanospeck.hubpages.com/hub/Free-Cloud-Computing-Services-Software-Providers [03:06] You can press CTRL+ALT+F1/6 to get from tty1/6, or terminal [03:07] Is there a linux alternative to air parrot. [03:07] kunji, don't need a livecd for that, rescue mode works [03:07] you cant login to a terminal as root? [03:07] sudo -s [03:07] sudo su [03:07] no. [03:07] yekoms: ctrl-alt-f7 for X [03:07] yes you can [03:07] so i can type in: root, then root again? [03:07] no sudo -s [03:07] if your using a LiveCD, do mount --bind /dev/sda1 /mnt; mount --bind procfs /mnt/; chroot /mnt [03:07] <[x]> ok wilee-nilee , thanks for your mighty help [03:08] psusi: that's true, but not all grub installs have the rescue mode, it would depend what version and which distro. [03:08] sycho123321: That's the only difference? [03:08] <[x]> i could not find good one so need this help [03:08] what [03:08] [x], Lots out there I think. ;) [03:08] sudo -s will give a logged in session root priveledges... that is not the same as logging in as root. [03:08] i can hit ctrl+alt+f2 and use my root login and gain access. [03:08] kunji, since this is #ubuntu, we can assume we're talking about Ubuntu, which does have it [03:08] true [03:08] Well, it's pretty close to it :P [03:08] As close as I think you can get to it [03:08] psusi: The current version does [03:08] Is there a linux alternative to air parrot. [03:08] ok i will have to leave this room to try and fix my ubuntu [03:08] airparrot.com [03:09] I just recently got out of the terrible habbit of staying permanatnly in "Sudo su" [03:09] i dont see how one can enter sudo -s at a terminal when its asking for a USERNAME. [03:09] how do i set the media keys on my t420 ubuntu 12.04 laptop set to clementines shortcuts [03:09] <[x]> ok wilee-nilee [03:09] HELLO [03:09] ... after accidently deleting the home directory [03:09] i dont use sudo su for root, i use 'su'. === jen is now known as Guest92262 [03:09] yekoms, you log in as yourself first === Guest92262 is now known as derpinz [03:09] Is there a linux alternative to air parrot. [03:09] kamas: The proper way to do it would probably be to chroot from live CD and make the change. [03:09] psusi, he forgot username's password. and needs to reset it. [03:09] ahem* does anyone know how to limit your canvas on MyPaint? [03:09] L3top, i gave him the command to do just that :) [03:10] then you want rescue mode, choose root shell [03:10] sycho123321:is it just streaming the desktop? [03:10] ya i thik so [03:10] mount --bind /dev/sda1 /mnt; mount --bind procfs /mnt/; chroot /mnt [03:10] L3top, i am logging in from a USB ubuntu thumb drive [03:10] Baralabite, Ubuntu is not designed to run in root, but there are linux OS that are, most of which are safer with a admin rot access account [03:10] if sda1 is / [03:10] *think [03:10] the thumb drive saves the linux settings [03:10] kamas, you already on a LIVECD? [03:10] sycho123321: Hmm, oh, I guess it also supports desktop extension, so I guess it's doing a bit more [03:10] root* [03:10] I figured as much wille-nilee - that's why I stopped my terrible practice :P [03:10] i have it but have to reset this machine to get to it [03:11] yekoms: I believe that you must be misusing the term root if that is what you think you told him. [03:12] when i use the term root i mean ;gain root access via su/sudo/xlogin; [03:12] what do i type in to get that access? [03:12] first i do ctrl alt f2? [03:12] kamas, are you on a livecd? [03:12] * evoke admits 'sudo bash' with some regularity [03:12] not now, now i am on windows [03:12] Kams: You can type in from CTRL+ALT+F1 to CTRL+ALT+F6, and everything in between [03:12] but my linux is on a USB thumb drive [03:13] wait, your linux system is installed to a USB drive? [03:13] yes, and i have it setup where it saves all settings, so all 4gb stay on the usb drive, if i unplug it and put it in another machine, all my settings and data are still saved on the drive [03:14] kamas: lili? [03:14] oh i cant help you with that.. [03:14] what is lili? [03:14] ive never used a pendrive as a system drive. [03:14] LiveLinux [03:14] oh , yes [03:15] need a help [03:15] yekoms it is probably exactly the same look [03:15] u wont notice a difference [03:15] * evoke scrolls up for context [03:15] i think it should work the same way [03:15] kamas: from live cd, mount the drive. Then for just changing the password, You won't need to mount a bunch of other things... then sudo chroot /mounted/path then make the changes needed. [03:15] anyone? [03:15] pendrives fail too much for my taste [03:16] how to cleanup boot space?? [03:16] kamas, after booting your liveCD, type: mount --bind /dev/sda1 /mnt; mount --bind procfs /mnt/; chroot /mnt, then fix. [03:16] in ubuntu [03:16] you mean boot menu zeus_rishi ? [03:16] so i can type this?: sudo chroot /mounted/path [03:16] anyone know how to set MYPAINT without unlimited canvas? [03:16] no when i start up my ubuntu it asks me to cleanup /boot [03:16] yekoms what will hapen after i type that? [03:17] kamas... you will replace /mounted/path with the path you have mounted the drive. [03:17] you'll be using the linux installed on /dev/sda1 [03:17] <[x]> is there an any ubuntu based ssh shell ? [03:17] derpinz: if it's anything like gimp, it's under "image -> canvas size" [03:17] but your system is ON a usb stick..so it might be different. [03:17] kamas: if you are using a pen drive then it will not likely be on sda1 [03:18] kamas: sudo fdisk -l will show you the connected drives. [03:18] Hi!

[03:59] somsip, i forget to hit the setnick button..:/ [03:59] yekoms: Being logical vs primary doesn't determine if a partition can or cannot be resized. === lukas_ is now known as sycho123321 [04:00] fixed = must be resized on the low level end, which you end up losing all data.

[04:01] yekoms: You're using terms that, at least as far as I know, have no formal meaning in the area of partitioning. [04:01] yekoms: logical vs. primary does not correspond with unfixed vs. fixed, I don't recall fixed having a defined meaning though [04:01] thank you all. [04:02] lolgolflol: np, I would just recommend doing a backup before trying anything [04:02] * wilee-nilee put yekom in ignore a while ago, it was not worth seeing the text [04:02] fixed is a old term, i first learned of it when i was installing windows ME [04:02] then again, people used partition magic.. [04:02] evoke, yes. what ever. I would like to know how to compress to get minimum size. [04:03] zip -9 file file [04:04] then file $file [04:04] lolgolflol: You can usually resize a partition to make it larger without resizing, how difficult it is (and how long it will take) can depend on many factors. If you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l" we can give you an idea of what you can do with your specific configuration. [04:04] yekoms: I don't think it's relevant here, as I don't think it exists anymore (the term that is, not really sure what it's supposed to mean, as I don't know any scenario where expanding would necessarily cause data loss, maybe it was jargon for partition magic didn't bother implementing a data preserving resize?). [04:06] fixed means, 5GB will stay 5GB and cant be raised, or lowered. only way it can be changed is repartition via fdisk. [04:06] but this was years ago. [04:06] wtf [04:07] #help [04:07] when using the wubi.exe when using the guided selection, how does it part the drive? [04:07] yekoms: hmm, that would be situational I would guess though, based on other factors, like whether or not there is adjacent free space? That is, I don't think it would be a property of the partition itself, but of the methods available for modifying it. [04:07] anybody use amsn [04:07] ? [04:08] yekoms: I believe the wubi.exe does not part the drive, it runs inside of the windows partition [04:08] when XP came out i tried to grow my ubuntu slice, and i lost everything and i used a gpart guide. [04:08] does it support video? [04:08] then how does wubi select a drive to part for linux? [04:08] Bing-sdu: no msn client except for the official one does [04:09] but it can't use video....i use 10.10 [04:09] yekoms: that's why I recommended a backup (but that loss is not the intended behaviour, gparted has improved quite a bit since then), and the wubi does not select a drive to part for linux [04:09] maybe version too old? [04:10] then when using wubi where is linux dropped too? [04:10] remaining space of windows? [04:10] yekoms: I believe the wubi installer creates a virtual drive for ubuntu (akin to what virtualbox does) [04:10] then how do you increase the size of ubuntu virtual drive? [04:11] i want video talk with other,but it implies version not support [04:11] yekoms: Wubi creates a file within the Windows filesystem (in C:\\wubi\disks\root.disk if I remember correctly). [04:11] yekoms: There is a maximum size, but the file is resized on the fly until it reaches that [04:11] how do you change the file limit? [04:11] after you've used the windows ubuntu installer? [04:11] kunji: No, it is not resized on the fly. The size is set when the file is created. [04:12] Ah, thanks for the correction Jordan_U, I was thinking it would be like the default virtualbox ones, my bad [04:12] yekoms: you probably can't change it after installing then [04:13] yekoms: You follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ResizeandDuplicateWubiDisk and it can also be done in-place, though I haven't ever seen any documentation explaining how to do so. [04:15] thanks. [04:15] i think i understand the wubi a little better. [04:16] after changing partitions, how can I make sure the MBR of sda points to the grub /boot of sdc2? [04:16] Hmm.. This is working well.... I've made a script that detects all computers on the network, next part is add them to the ACL of the router if they should not be on the network... [04:17] can you ssh into routers? I hear most routers run linux... [04:17] you can if your router supports openwrt. [04:17] J11: Re-run grub-install (how you do that depends on your current situation). Are you currently booted from a LiveCD/USB? [04:18] yes from a livecd [04:18] then it should be install-grub /dev/sdc2 [04:18] or chroot to the sdc2 installed linux and issue install-grub, then select the drive VIA bios. [04:18] but would that install the MBR in the sdc disk or the sda disk? [04:18] Can you boot a computer from a network? [04:18] the most knowledgeable in the room are actionParsnip, L3top Jordan_U IdleOne just to name a few keep up the good support ;) [04:18] Like physicallyy disconnect them without the router? [04:19] J11, depends, what harddrive is selected to boot when PC power is turned on? [04:19] Well, not pysically, I mean, can you kick them from wifi [04:19] the sda one [04:19] yekoms: No, it would most definitely not be "install-grub /dev/sdc2" not even close. Please don't simply try to guess commands / advice, or if you're doing so at least make that clear. [04:20] J11: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_ChRoot is my preffered method. [04:20] hi, I'm running ubuntu 12.04 kernel 3.2.x.x when I write the command hwinfo --framebuffer I'm getting this error message: > hal.1: read hal dataprocess 10559: arguments to dbus_move_error() were incorrect, assertion "(dest) == NULL || !dbus_error_is_set ((dest))" failed in file ../../dbus/dbus-errors.c line 282. [04:20] why ? [04:20] how to fix it? [04:21] go ahead Jordan_U, if i was using a liveCD i would mount --bind where i wanted grub to be, then do install-grub. [04:23] yekoms: The command is "grub-install" and the device argument that you pass to grub-install specifies where grub's boot sector should be installed, it does not specify where the boot partition is. You were wrong in multiple ways, and installing grub's boot sector to a partition often leads to users accidentily overwriting their Windows bootloader. It was bad advice, please be more careful in the future. [04:24] i dont expect people here to be using ubuntu along side windows, and if they are, they should state its a dualboot. and if they are dual booting they cant be using windows loader can they? [04:25] im dual booting windows 7 and ubuntu 12.04 with windows bootloader [04:25] wow. [04:25] guess people like windows due to its user friendly setup. [04:25] virtualizing windows 7 on ubuntu will allow you to play games ? did some one had try this yet XD ? [04:25] What's wrong with it? [04:25] BlackAngelPR, using VirtualBox or Wine? [04:26] BlackAngelPR, Wine or VBox? [04:26] i just delete windows 7 from my other part microsoft dont play well with others [04:26] I can play Age of Empires3 using Wine, but if you install windows7 inside birtualbox, you can do pretty much anything [04:26] virtual box [04:26] Yeah [04:26] virtualbox sucks for gaming.. [04:26] It should work fine with VirtualBox, mybe a bit slower [04:26] dam [04:26] well what computer do you guys and girls have? LOL [04:26] rsser: that error occurs with all commands from hwinfo. you can follow a command with 2>/dev/null if you don't want to see it... but it is not unique to you... [04:26] Since you are running 2OSs at once instead of one, it slows the computer down for both [04:26] i gues depends of the specs right? [04:27] Yeah [04:27] i can never get it to run smooth, and i got a 8 core 3.1GHZ with 16GB of ram, and it runs like 16bit with 255mhz with 16mb of ram. [04:27] wow [04:27] XD [04:27] If you have a computer with 16GB of ram, and give 8GB to VirtualBox, you probably wouldn't have an issue [04:27] Hey, I'm having some strange problems with my wifi card. It works fine in W7, but for some reason on ubuntu, I can only get ipv6 to work; no ipv4 address. ie. the web more or less doesn't function :/ [04:27] still i want windows out of my computer it gives lots of problem like halting etc when use in dual boot it get my nervs [04:27] Well, the web AFAIK relies on ipv4, if that's not woorking... [04:27] Baralabite, i gave my windows vbox img 100% usage and it didnt work right. all i wanted to play was UT2004 [04:27] yekoms, thats shut fly out the roof [04:28] Well, again, I'm ignorant, I don't play many (if any) games [04:28] I was wondering how i would go about updating gMTP 1.3.1 to 1.3.3 as it is not in the software center. [04:28] gr33n7007h, do what? [04:28] any help would be greatly apreciated [04:28] i play games on the xbox..but im getting off topic. ill wait for issues before i speak again. [04:28] Baralabite: some sites are working, but anything requiring SSL is a no-go for the most part. ifconfig shows only ipv6 address, not getting ipv4 address at all [04:29] what is the hardware msmith0957 [04:29] Well, again, I'm ignorant :P I'm only 14 after all! [04:29] I know very little about Ubuntu [04:29] does anyone know if the firefox 16 in synaptic has the critical vulnerabilities or if it's been patched? [04:29] user4, check the changelog. [04:29] use chrome is faster any way XD [04:29] giving 100% to vbox will make the host os unstable, including the vbox. It warns you about that. [04:29] LOL ^^ [04:29] L3top: this is a Intel N adapter, 5300 according to lspci. Its a Dell XPS 1640 [04:30] true L3top [04:30] L3top, i know that. [04:30] yekoms mozilla change log? [04:30] Yes user4 [04:30] i got a VPS that has access to 100% of cpu/mem. [04:30] It should mention of they change it [04:30] and when its loaded, the system host NEVER has load. [04:30] !ot [04:30] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [04:30] mozilla says its fixed but I don't know if the repo has the old version or patched version [04:30] yekoms: if the system host doesnt have any load, i dont think it could run the VM ;) [04:31] repo? Which repo? [04:31] user4: apt-get changelog package-name [04:31] user4, compair the versions of the repo and the changelog. [04:31] If it's the official repo, it should be patched methinks [04:31] anyone had try 12.10 yet? and whats the deal with the option on the login to do remote? [04:31] msmith0957, my VPS is checking over 100 proxies a minute, would you like to see the system load of the VPS ? i'll bet you the uptime reports all 0.00's [04:31] like gnome 2 to much [04:32] does anybody know of a relatively easy way of transfering files from my ubuntu machine to my Samsung galaxy s3 sd card? [04:32] are you trying to make it connect via N msmith0957? [04:32] evoke, yes. what ever. I would like to know how to compress to get minimum size. [04:32] duhamel, either FTP app, or USB cord. or mount the SDCard. [04:32] get the sd card on your machine and just drag it what more easier than that? [04:32] L3top: nope, not 'trying' to, but its an N router, not sure how i can force my adapter otherwise [04:33] L3top: i could i suppose, force b/g from the router, but that defeats the purpose of having an N router ! [04:33] There is a known problem with that card and ubuntu... cannnot connect over anything other than G. [04:33] ftp is possible but not ideal. the problem is android 4.04 uses MTP instead of USM [04:33] L3top: link please ? [04:33] i hope your wifi card accepts N..or set your router to b/g aswell [04:33] msmith0957, ^ [04:33] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/701827 [04:33] Launchpad bug 701827 in Ubuntu "Intel wifi 5300 only using G not N" [Undecided,Invalid] [04:34] oops [04:34] what is mtp ? Usm? [04:34] thats not the valid one... [04:34] yekoms: yes, it does N ;) and of course, N is backwards compat with b/g and in my case also a ;) [04:34] No matter how hard I try I have never gotten FTP working on my server reliably -_- [04:34] i don't have an sd card reader on my computer or i would use that? [04:34] msmith0957, have you tried compiling the windows driver for the wifi card? [04:34] what about adb? would a push command work? [04:34] Baralabite, try vsftpd then. [04:34] I hhave [04:35] several times [04:35] L3top: since i'm currently in ubuntu, i can't even view that page since their host doesnt have ipv6 lol [04:35] any usb cable to your computer from the tablet then select on the android the option mount ? [04:35] duhamel, adb requires USB cord. [04:35] yekoms: I've tried PureFTP, vsftpd, proftpd, and more... [04:35] yekoms: I know what the issue is, it's something to do with the permissions, and shell [04:35] yekoms: no.. dont quite understand what you mean by that. if its written for windows, i dont believe i can make it work in linux [04:35] what was your issue with vsftpd? install and edit /etc/vsftpd.conf and your done. [04:35] you can compile the drivers for linux with ndisgen. [04:36] ndisgen-gtk is the GTK front end for it msmith0957 [04:36] msmith0957: You can make lots of windows apps work on linux [04:36] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1605338 there are several confirmed bugs on this... but all unassigned. [04:36] Jordan_U: so, does the livecd being 32 or 64 bit matter like it said? And how do I find out which one my livecd is? [04:36] yekoms: but lsmod shows i'm using iwlwifi i believe [04:36] Baralabite, what about file zilla server? if you cant make it run its mostly because you dont know too much of ips etc it takes little practice [04:36] msmith0957: ^ [04:36] i get that dude. i have the usb hooked up. But Samsung Gs3 uses mtp so i can't transfer without gMTP 1.3.3 which i doin't have. [04:36] BlackAngelPR: I didn't think it worked under ubuntu... [04:36] L3top: I'll take a look at those, gota boot into windows first :/ thanks [04:36] Even with wine === phix_ is now known as phix [04:37] duhamel, then install AndFTP on your tablet, and use ftp protocal. [04:37] anyone know if fglrx has a support irc? [04:37] im going to boot back into ubuntu, is there a way to figure what is creating the tmpfs? [04:37] I know not many people here know about it. [04:37] i don't have a tablet. [04:37] i checked fstab its not in there [04:37] how do you enable the login gui? [04:37] is it a phone duhamel ? [04:37] I suppose I'll give FTp another shot... ;/ [04:37] How can this error be corrected? Error mounting: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, [04:37] missing codepage or helper program, or other error [04:37] In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try [04:37] dmesg | tail or so [04:37] Chamunks: #ati what is your issue though? [04:37] researcher: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:37] yeah. [04:37] same difference. [04:37] tr1tek: for Ubuntu Desktop? [04:38] just install andftp and use the ftp protocall. i do my data mgnt like this duhamel [04:38] L3top, I have two saphire radeon hd 6850's in crossfire [04:38] I see no mention of any critical bugs via apt-get changelog package-name. The Mozilla download page for Firefox still offers version 15 so I assume the current version of firefox in the repo is the unpatched version [04:38] yes desktop [04:38] J11: For this particular method, if the installed system is 64 bit then the LiveCD needs to also be 64 bit. If the installed system is 32 bit then either a 32 bit or 64 bit liveCD will work. You can find out if the system you're booted from is 64 bit by running "uname -m" in a terminal ("x86_64" means 64 bit, "i686" or "i386" means 32 bit). [04:38] i knew a guy named randy duhamel [04:38] thanks for the help [04:38] welcome. [04:38] ... ... ... I just logged into FTP with my username and password, no quarms.... [04:38] :3 [04:38] i don't want to use ftp because of data. [04:38] Please help with this http://paste.ubuntu.com/1272579/ I want to recover data from older hard disk [04:39] Didn't even change any settings [04:39] L3top, ubuntu does not recognize this video power and i want to know if its worth my time to bother trying to make it happen or just take the second card and throw it in an old box im using as a nas thats rarely accessed. [04:39] tr1tek: It should be there by default, is this a fresh install? or have you updated it? [04:39] duhamel: what does that mean? because of data? [04:39] duhamel, If you have 64 bit. https://launchpad.net/~quadrispro/+archive/backports/+build/3580967 [04:39] not sure about crossfire Chamunks... best to check in #ati [04:39] i tried o install a video card and i guess i messed up because now it shows the black screen with login [04:40] something is creating a tmpfs file, how can i find out what that is [04:40] its a fairly new install had it for 3 months [04:40] tr1tek: what kind of video card? [04:40] vsftpd is working :D Didn't have to flip any settings or 'nutin [04:40] tr1tek: ok you probably need to recreate xorg config files. Reboot your computer, choose single / rescue mode, then choose the option to recreate xorg configuration [04:40] told you Baralabite [04:40] Baralabite: I like proftpd [04:40] L3top, yeah I imagined as much I'm basically looking for someone to say that no one really has any idea how to make it work reliably so i can justify making a gaming rig out of that NAS box for my girlfriend when she comes to visit because gaming with her mac and my linux makes gaming a constant up hill battle. [04:41] how do i check what network traffic is going on during the first couple minutes of boot? [04:41] ok i'l give that a shot thanks [04:41] It was always a permissions problem, I know that much [04:41] Thanks so much wilee-nilee [04:41] I must have gotten it working last time I was working on it, but forgot about it [04:41] Data charges phix [04:41] Chamunks: nope, linux doesn't make it an uphill battle, gaming companies do. I have heard that steam is looking into created a linux port in the near future [04:42] I tried loading steam under wine, didn't work too well :3 [04:42] duhamel, here is the actual ppa. https://launchpad.net/~quadrispro/+archive/backports [04:42] duhamel: ok, wouldnt you get that any way if you are transferring between a computer and your phone? I am assuming that is what you are doing? [04:42] phix, you're exactly right but the combination between linux and mac is just impossible to find a release pirated or not to play together. [04:42] phix and what little time I have with her these days I would like to get down to some serious gaming together. [04:42] that allready worked it's done. thanks again wilee-nilee [04:43] Chamunks: not really, just run it in wine, I have had good success with many games that way [04:43] or why even have a gamer girlfriend in the first place right?! [04:43] phix: not if im using a usb [04:43] Chamunks: heh, gaming hey, is that what you call it :) [04:43] duhamel, No problem I have a nexus 7 that was fine with the stock gMTP, lets see how this one works here. [04:43] phix, i guess wine has a mac client [04:43] Chamunks: I believe it should work. I see lots of older stuff on it. [04:43] duhamel: ummm your phone have wireless? you have wireless setup in your house? that wont cost you a thing [04:43] L3top, which crossfire? [04:44] no wireless. [04:44] L3top, I just dont know why its just not working. [04:44] steam for linux is being beta tested right now [04:44] Chamunks: ummmm yeah, but there are other programs you can get for mac too plus native ports to it [04:44] duhamel, then your only option left is mounting just the sdcard since usb dont work, and you dont have a wifi router. [04:44] duhamel: setup wireless imo or just plug the phone in USB and enable mass storage mode on your phone, done [04:44] phix, not sure what else I'd call it. [04:44] Chamunks: http://forumubuntusoftware.info/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2336 its been working for years... can't imagine that they would have DROPPED the ability to use crossfire in linux without pheronix kicking up a hissy fit.

[05:12] unm [05:13] MarconM: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee#Installation [05:13] ok [05:13] ihaveaveryseriousproblemcanipleasegetsomehelp [05:13] thanks [05:13] oops [05:13] lol [05:13] space bar broken ?

[05:16] XiaolinDraconis: If you're referring to /var/run being setup as a tmpfs that is not unusual, and certainly doesn't indicate that you've been attacked. [05:16] finally got a true dual install going here! [05:16] i know, but bumblebee .. was just to easy, sorry [05:16] Jordan_U is,that,what,you,see,in,the,picture? [05:16] And Ubuntu is way more responsive installed this way as opposed to WUBI [05:16] Jordan_U, thats,normal? [05:17] XiaolinDraconis: Yes. [05:17] Jordan_U, it,wasnt,doing,that,a,day,ago [05:18] XiaolinDraconis: The default for Ubuntu is to have /var/run be a tmpfs. I don't know why your file manager decided to start displaying this tmpfs mount, but it's perfectly normal for it to be there. [05:18] Jordan_U, it,did,make,boot,time,much,faster,but,memory,is,at,80%,on,startup,which,is,how,i,learned,it,was,happening [05:19] XiaolinDraconis: Also, in general your first reaction to something happening that you don't understand shouldn't be to think that you have been "attacked". [05:22] Jordan_U, the,sudden,creation,of,that,directory,and,it,including,networking,files,lead,me,to,that,line,of,reasoning [05:22] XiaolinDraconis: The directory wasn't suddenly created, it has always been there. [05:23] Jordan_U, it,was,not,there,yesterday,and,my,ram,has,not,been,at,80%,during,startup,ever [05:24] XiaolinDraconis: If that directory hadn't been there yesterday then your Ubuntu installation wouldn't have been able to successfully boot at all. [05:25] Jordan_U, based,on,what,you,stated,that,was,in,/var/run [05:25] Jordan_U, not,/run [05:26] XiaolinDraconis: /var/run/ is a symlink to /run/. === \n is now known as nyuszika7h [05:27] XiaolinDraconis: I am used to /var/run as /run/ is somewhat newer, so I said the wrong path out of habit. [05:27] Jordan_U, im,curious,as,to,why,it,started,either,caching,or,failing,to,release,the,cache [05:28] is your space key broken? yikes? [05:28] XiaolinDraconis: As to that I have no idea. How did you determine that /run was using so much memory? [05:28] yeah,i,forgot,to,change,a,script,back,after,modifying,for,arch [05:29] Hi everyone - quick question. I have a mb pro i5 running 8GB ram. I want to dual boot ubuntu. Should I do 32 or 64 bit? [05:29] I understand what WUBI is going for, but it almost makes things too easy [05:29] dragomir: 64bit [05:29] dragomir: 100% 64bit [05:29] thanks magn3ts [05:29] Jordan_U, someone,here,asked,me,to,check,top,when,that,didnt,show,any,high,useage,they,suggested,i,may,have,a,tmpfs,being,used [05:30] What's Xiaolin's original prob/ [05:30] magn3ts: do you have a suggestion on which version of ubuntu? [05:30] wanting to get back into nix. Was a huge fan of fedora [05:30] 80%,memory,usage,on,boot [05:30] dragomir: for that, I usually go "LATEST!!!!" immediately but with a Mac, you should check the Wiki. [05:30] XiaolinDraconis: Please pastebin the output of "df -h". [05:30] anyone,know,how,to,reset,xmodmap,without,rebooting? [05:30] dragomir: the wiki has very good info on how well each mac works under ubuntu (down to the year revision, etc, etc) [05:31] great info - thanks again. This is one of the main reasons nix is soo powerful. Always helpful and easy going community. [05:31] thanks again everyone, until next time. Take care. [05:32] XiaolinDraconis: Also, please pastebin the output of "free -m". [05:33] Jordan_U, the,tmpfs,is,set,to,use,10%,its,maximum,is,195,i,boot,with,400Mb,cached,memory [05:33] i have a 300+mb block of text, that i want to grab the urls out oof, and paste, one to a line, in another file, any ideas? [05:33] XiaolinDraconis: There is nothing wrong with cached memory, in fact it's a good thing. [05:34] Jordan_U, sudden,unwarranted,system,changes,are,disturbing [05:36] http://pastebin.com/0X2nyjcJ [05:36] 84 free not good [05:37] http://pastebin.com/v3EDTcyQ [05:37] Jordan_U, the,second,pastebin,is,both,commands === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [05:40] !ram | XiaolinDraconis [05:40] XiaolinDraconis: If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | A short primer on Linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html [05:41] does anyone know how to fix the choppy video playback of 720p mkv video files, as when i use mplayer or vlc i get choppy images while trying to watch video [05:41] has to be your video card if you don't experience choppy playback in other os' [05:42] er, minus the don't [05:42] usually it's xbmc that there's slow playback if anythign [05:42] Jordan_U, i,understand,a,little,about,how,linux,handles,ram,the,problem,is,why,this,suddenly,started,happening,im,guessing,maybe,ureadahead,is,the,reason [05:42] aguadito: i am using a nvidia geforce 6150 le and have the latest nvidia driver installed from their website [05:43] i am to configure plymouth , how can i Add "break=init" to the kernel command-line... [05:43] ghostnik11, you have any other os' dual booted that have played back stuff fine with that video gcard? [05:44] Jordan_U, my,system,has,been,in,use,for,2,months,this,issue,is,very,new,also,in,4,years,of,using,linux,this,has,never,happened [05:44] aguadito: well mplayer plays but you clearly see the frames slow down as i am watching a futbol match at 720p, the file is on my hard drive [05:44] XiaolinDraconis: ureadahead may be the reason, but really there is no problem here. /run is hardly using any memory, and you have a good amount of memory free (where "cached" memory is what most people would call free, as it's available to be used the moment it's needed). [05:44] aguadito: using vlc it goes choppy and color changes and you see blue patches? its mind blowing to me, as i have never seen anything like it [05:45] hello guys [05:45] Jordan_U, i,did,enjoy,the,fast,boot,today,but,it,would,be,nice,to,find,out,why,changes,are,suddenly,happening [05:46] aguadito: on this machine i have puppy linux installed but can't get to it as i didn't set up grub properly, on the external where the file is i have it partitioned with a ubuntu 8.10 (greatest OS ever) think i should try it off the 8.10 [05:46] Jordan_U, ill,bet,a,dollar,no,other,user,here,has,1gigram,magically,caching,50% [05:46] I've installed the piwigo package and it did all the configuration, yet when I go to localhost, I only see the apache index page. How do I access piwigo? [05:46] ghostnik11, 8.10 is long end of life [05:47] ghostnik11, i'm trying to figure out some way you can rule out certain things [05:47] like bunk drivers [05:47] fx if you had windows dualbooted and no playback issues then it would be your driver 100% [05:48] XiaolinDraconis: My machine currently has 2 GiB in cached memory. Basically every file that is ever read will be put into cache, so if more than a GiB is read, more than a GiB will be cached. [05:48] wilee-nilee: it could be end of life, its still the greates OS ever and if its life ended, it will rise again and shake off the rigamortis [05:49] XiaolinDraconis: It may be that before you had a process temporarily use a lot of RAM, which would have pushed out the cache. This may actually be an improvement. [05:49] ghostnik11, THat me be your opinion but you have yet to mention a OS that is actually supported here. [05:49] may* [05:49] XiaolinDraconis: If the value of "free" + cached RAM hasn't signifigantly decreased, you don't have a problem. [05:49] as a delusional as it is [05:50] If I add a script to rc.local it should run on start up right? [05:51] wilee-nilee: lol, fine i will try it via ubuntu 8.10 and see if it works, and when it does, i will come back and tell you that ubuntu 8.10 is still alive even though it might not be supported. aguadito i have a feeling it will work, ubuntu 8.10 is like a fail safe for me, it always gets job done when i am in trouble with anything relating to computers [05:51] :/ ok [05:51] Jordan_U, it,has,changed,drastically,since,2,days,ago [05:54] hi guys, i have a bookmarks.html file i want to import it to konqueror webbrowser. Can anyone tell me how can i do this [05:54] Wait, how is Xiaolin checking their ram? [05:54] Is it confirmed that there IS something using physical memory like this? [05:54] XiaolinDraconis: Do you understand that it may have changed for the better? [05:54] also, I've been in and out of this room, sorry if I've missed something. [05:55] Jordan_U, yes,i,do,and,i,would,like,to,know,why [05:55] magn3ts, i,checked,multiple,ways,conky,plus,free,-m [05:55] can you give us the output of free (explicitly/verbosely) [05:56] XiaolinDraconis: Boot chart might give you some insight into your current boot, though I'm not sure how to figure out what was happening previously if nothing looks off now. [05:56] http://pastebin.com/v3EDTcyQ === anael is now known as Guest53995 [05:59] ill,be,right,back,this,spacebar,thing,is,bugging,me [06:00] hi , i have a bookmarks.html file i want to import it to konqueror webbrowser. Can anyone tell me how can i do this [06:03] That looks like 425/977 MB of mem free, no Jordan_U ? [06:03] Jordan_U: or am I reading that wrong? [06:04] magn3ts: That's correct. And I basically explained as much to XiaolinDraconis (before they left). [06:05] Jordan_U: Yeah, I asked for the same reason you did and then explained (As I scroll up) [06:05] I've been doing some hunting trying to get my intel 5300 wifi n adapter to connect properly to my n router. my problem is that it cannot get an ipv4 address, while v6 is working ok. i found some interesting info in the syslogs that appears that my ipv4 requests are timing out. maybe someone here can help diagnose [06:05] Jordan_U: hopefully they either saw it or come back. I kind of figured that was what's up, especially since nothing else was amiss. (Though, now I wonder about top... idk about top, but htop makes the memory util very obvious... likely, graphically so) [06:05] oh and.. i'd paste something, but i cant find a pastebin that works in ipv6 :/ [06:06] !git > [x] [06:06] yay for xmodmap, saves me from having to buy a new keyboard === _dd is now known as Guest73173 [06:08] Jordan_U, how much memory should this /run folder be using? [06:09] is there a way to see what files are being cached? [06:09] XiaolinDraconis: 996K is certainly not much. [06:10] Jordan_U, right clicking properties tells me 220Mb are being used [06:10] MB [06:11] with 200 free [06:11] XiaolinDraconis: That's not what "df -h" says, and is not possible as the limit on that filesystem's size is 196 MiB on your machine. [06:11] Jordan_U, i know at times the properties dialog isnt always truthful [06:12] 471 items seems accurate [06:12] XiaolinDraconis: What specifically is concerning you at the moment? Because I and magn3ts both see nothing wrong. [06:12] sometimes the printscreen button does not take a screenshot, like when a dropdown widget is open in some window, how to take screenshot then ? [06:13] aguadito, I tried 8.10 and had problems now I turned on laptop that has dual boat with windows 7 and mint 13 to try [06:13] if windows doesn't play it right then something other than driver's are afoot [06:14] Jordan_U, mainly i just wanna know where this change came from, it wasnt like this during the last 2 months, and ive made no significant changes other than security updates [06:14] silv3r_m00n: You can open the GNOME Screenshot utility and have it take a screenshot after some number of seconds, during which time you can get the screen into the state you want to capture. [06:14] Aguadito, yeah but this a different machine than what I was just on, this is a laptop and before I was on a desktop [06:14] Jordan_U: thanks [06:14] silv3r_m00n: You're welcome. [06:15] ghostnik11, then what's the point? [06:16] XiaolinDraconis: Again, my guess is that you used to have something at boot which was taking up a lot of memory (probably more than it should have) but that is no longer happening (there is now *not* something eating up lots of memory). It's hard to tell though without having boot chart or other info from before. [06:18] Aguadito, good point but I want to see if its the file or the driver like you said, if it plays in windows on laptop that means its the driver on desktop that's restricting playback [06:18] but they're two completely different video cards [06:18] Jordan_U, 2 boot time changes have been made, my wallpaper was changed and now lightdm is set to show a black wallpaper, and a stopped using a conkylua script [06:18] so you're not adequately narrowing down the issue [06:19] Ubuntu 12.04 lightdm login screen reappears after proving correct password. Any help ? [06:20] Aguadito, I think your perfectly correct because it works perfectly on laptop via windows. So I am back to step one [06:21] Jordan_U, ok, since i have a much more pressing concern ill least the case of the mysterious cache alone, i just need to destroy my windows partition for now [06:21] but your issue was on the desktop and to test whether that system's setup would play it on another OS [06:21] now basically all you've done is rule out the file being the problem which was low on our list anyway right? [06:22] Aguadito, yeah [06:22] Aguadito, will be booting back up desktop [06:23] i'm having a visual issue with ubuntu. it has happened before but was fixed after an update, suddenly i turn my box back on and its doing it again. Issue: text is showing up where some of the letters appear to be cut off at the top. [06:26] tho now thinking about it, last time the text was cut off (this is in every aspect of the system, doesn't matter of application that i load. All are doing it. but its not every time. just some of the letters get consistently cut off. ) but last time i did the update, a restart was required to continue. So i restarted. Trying that again. will report back the update when i get back. [06:28] aguadito: i think my graphics card has ability to run 720p video because when i use movie player or gnome player i think is its proper name, the video plays but you see moments when the players are running their heart out and they almost look like slow motion [06:29] turns out, after a restart, its fixed. sorry to bother. have a nice night. Still curious as to why it is doing that sometimes tho. [06:29] Good morning people [06:30] good morning Padroni [06:30] I'm a 'buntu noob with some questions if there's anyone on that can maybe help? [06:30] describe the issue. [06:30] I've installed the piwigo package and it did all the configuration, yet when I go to localhost, I only see the apache index page. How do I access piwigo? [06:31] No real Issue. I'm getting tired of fixing MS's software so I want to drop win7 and move to linux [06:31] is there a way to import my Outlook data folder (with all my emails and stuff ) into whatever mail app is on ubuntu? [06:31] that's the only real issue for me at this point [06:32] Thunderbird is the default email client. [06:32] yeah i'm gonna swing it a miss on that - i hate thunderbird === dpac is now known as dpac|away [06:32] aguadito: even looked this up just now: http://www.nvidia.com/page/gpu_mobo.html [06:32] https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/switching/C/preparing-email.html [06:33] that should help with configuring the client. [06:33] Ghostnkill - your card certainly plays 720p [06:33] Hello guys [06:33] is there any command line tool to convert dwg to image ? [06:33] Padroni, you have a wide variety of email clients available in the ubuntu software center [06:34] XiaolinDraconis: (Jordan_U) you really have no need to fear the cache man [06:34] Now the CacheMAN is an evil monster, beware, but cache itself is no biggie [06:34] Thank you, Shanky. This seems to be what I was looking for. [06:34] if you find one that you prefer better, download it and then if you have questions, there is most likely a support page on the help.ubuntu.com site for more specific help [06:34] aguadito: also just found out this about vlc and 720p = http://alikhan3.hubpages.com/hub/Solution-to-slow-Mp4-Playback-Problem [06:36] aguadito: only thing the solution that person suggest, it seems from pics is for windows but that is interesting that vlc doesn't work well with low graphics card as the writer of that article pointed out. since my graphics i think would be considered on the low end and not a high powered graphics card [06:37] is there any command line tool to convert dwg to image ? [06:39] pratz, what are you using to create the dwg files in the first place? [06:39] ghostnik11, if you have time and this issue concerns you enough throw on a windows partition and get to testin :P [06:40] usually in an CAD program, it has a tool built in to "export" and an option for image format instead. [06:41] pratz, if i have the name of the software you are using, i can find out if that option is available for you, otherwise i can continue to seek a viable converter. [06:43] aguadito: i dislike windows, with a passion, also i figure it will work in windows, from google it shows that i am not the only person in linux universe with this issue but multiple people from different OS seem to have this problem or a similar problem like this [06:43] where can I adjust settings of screenshot tool (the one that takes screenshot when I hit PrintScreen) [06:44] Kartagis, click your windows looking key, and in the search type in "screenshot". Click on the program and it will take you to the settings area. [06:44] ghostnik11, try fiddling with hardware acceleration settings and stuff -- you may even find some modified driver that someone in the community has produced to fix such problems (unlikely but known to exist) [06:45] Kartagis, You can actually use the tool. [06:45] wilee-nilee: I'm using that for a region [06:46] aguadito: will do [06:46] Kartagis, I would suspect you would have to get into the code. [06:46] aguadito: thanks for the help [06:46] Kartagis, click your windows looking key, and in the search type in "screenshot". Click on the program and it will take you to the settings area. [06:47] shankysv87: is that the same as the one when I hit PrintScreen? [06:47] its the other part of that software. [06:47] if you press the printscreen button, it will save your screen, if you go like i instructed, it will be the settings area for that [06:48] magn3ts, i dont fear it anymore Jordan_U has put my mind at ease, it just bugs the hell outta me that changes have been made without authorization [06:49] where can i check and see what type of memory i have installed? i wish to upgrade it next week [06:49] yay! if I once use that tool and uncheck "include the pointer" and take a screenshot, the setting is saved. that's what I was looking for [06:49] shankysv87: those are just dwg file created by autocad [06:50] shankysv87: i have no idea about autocad , just need to convert dwg files into images (jpg, png, etc ..) [06:50] pratz: seems vector converters do that [06:50] pratz, do you have the autocad software installed somewhere? [06:51] XiaolinDraconis: "sudo dmidecode" [06:51] shankysv87++ [06:51] guys i finally installed ubuntu 12.04 alone in the whole disk but i have grub showing up ,,,, had edited a line but still appears any idea? [06:51] here is the grub code [06:51] # If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update [06:51] # /boot/grub/grub.cfg.

[06:53] TJ-, thanks [06:53] guys can you take a look of this http://paste.ubuntu.com/1272696/ [06:53] i am trying to make grub not even show [06:53] since Ubuntu its the only OS [06:54] so, been trying to debug my wifi card.. and it seems like the only thing i can find is that a lot of people reported it worked in some old kernel, and broke in recent builds [06:54] how should i go about getting said kernel version and trying it ? [06:55] BlackAngelPR: The way GRUB works is, it saves a flag saying the PC started and shutdown successfully. If that flag exists the grub menu won't show, if the flag doesn't exist, it will show the menu. Sometimes, the place that flag is written to (GRUB ENVIRONMENT) - which is a file - can't be written to by GRUB so the flag doesn't get saved === Abbas5 is now known as Abbas- === Abbas- is now known as Abbas5 [06:56] BlackAngelPR: Can you pastebin the contents of /boot/grub/grubenv? [06:58] i think i basicaly want to get the kernel from lucid, and see if my wifi driver magicaly begins working [06:58] TJ-: You have it a bit backwards, if the flag exists then the menu *is* shown. Also, grub writes the flag, and /etc/init.d/grub-common clears it. [06:58] is this doable ? [06:58] !pm | BlackAngelPR [06:58] BlackAngelPR: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [06:58] TJ and Jordan the file /boot/grub/grubenv had nothing [06:59] only the header followed with # nothing else [06:59] Jordan_U: Actually no. I met the issue on a device recently. If the GRUB environment has never been written (because the device it is supposedly on is read-only) the GRUB menu would repeatedly show. [07:00] (-_^) little confusing [07:00] is there a way to undo the last install of software i ran qith apt-get [07:00] since grup its just to tell where to boot from only right? [07:00] all the files listed in the apt-get history.log file that got installed as aresult of my apt-get command [07:01] I'll see if I can find the bug report... but I have to rush out in a few minutes [07:01] elixey, you can do dpkg -S *, and grep todays date or the day of the install maybe. [07:02] elixey, what was the apt-get command you used last? === Abbas5 is now known as Abbas| [07:03] shankysv87, apt-get install apparmor apparmor-docs apparmor-profiles apparmor-notify apparmor-utils [07:03] then why not just remove the install word, and use remove inplace? [07:03] it installed a bunch of gui related stuff on a sever [07:03] server [07:03] oh [07:03] remove inplace? [07:03] aguadito: its funny if i make mplayer smaller, it seems the video stops the lag when playing 720p [07:03] yeah, apt-get install, change to apt-get remove apparmor apparmor-docs apparmor-profiles apparmor-notify apparmor-utils [07:04] "sudo apt-get remove apparmor apparmor-docs apparmor-profiles apparmor-notify apparmor-utils" [07:04] shankysv87, he wants apparmor, just none of the GTK crap. [07:04] he installed GTK software on a server, which dont have X, well didnt have it but it does now lol. [07:05] ghostnik11 - it's just your video card is shitty on ubuntu i suspect [07:05] i.e., no proper drivers (typical unfortunately) [07:05] look at all the stuff that got installed as a result of my last apt-get http://pastie.org/5033745 [07:05] aguadito: yeah but i am using the latest drivers from nvidia, not ones from repos, but nvidia site [07:06] aguadito: i will check if i have acceleration enabled in xorg file [07:06] ghostnik11 - i have nvidia as well and i can tell you some people have had to roll back drivers to get things to work, others have had to modify drivers, all kinds of crazy stuff [07:06] i had to disable hardware acceleration to get flash videos to stop having screwed up colors [07:07] i dont think using apt-get remove will remove all of what got installed guys [07:07] elixey, try "apt-get autoremove" [07:08] is there a way to have synaptic's "Generate package download script" function also include dependencies? [07:08] i think i'll parse the list from /var/log/apt/history and remove everything manually [07:08] bye [07:09] hi all. can any help me to solve why my ndiswrapper cannot scan wireless netrworks? [07:09] foobArrr, You can make a list of everything installed with dpkg --get-selections > installed-software [07:10] and using dselect it all with dpkg --set-selections < installed-software [07:10] install* === EricJ_ is now known as EricJ [07:13] foobArrr, do you have the repository for the dependencies? if so it should work something like "sudo add-apt-repository repositorystuffhere" [07:14] that should add your dependencies into your update list so when you update your system, it will check for updates there as well. [07:16] sudo ifdown wlan0 returns : interface wlan0 not configured. how can i configure it? [07:18] Perhaps your system uses a different interface for wirelss? [07:18] aguadito: i got it to not lag while playing 720p video using smplayer and using the options: allow hard fram drop and skip loop filter for HD videos, i also did a audio/video synchronization option in audio as now my video moves but audio isn't keeping up a couple milli secs ahead of video maybe 1 or 2 [07:18] Is your wireless working at all? [07:18] nikos_, what do you get when you enter "iwconfig" into command? === bap is now known as Guest76450 [07:20] aguadito: will play more around it, tommorow as its 3 am in morning where i am, thanks for the help again and have a good night [07:20] iwconfig: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1272720/ [07:22] nikos_, i'm researching, one moment please [07:23] ok. thanks a lot. [07:24] ok i need to build a port mirror device [07:25] can anyone tell me if my wireless card just fried itself out: clicked "Disable Wireless" because I was on an airplane ... now it's gone ... dmesg says "BIOS says wireless lan is blocked ..." .... wtf?!?! [07:26] no wlan0 in ifconfig ... no option to "Enable Wireless" in nm-app [07:27] extropy, do you have a on/off switch for wifi? [07:27] none [07:27] nikos_, in command, please use lspci and provide me with the readout via pastebin [07:27] extropy, well if BIOS is saying something about wireless, what does BIOS show for wireless? [07:27] went I went into my BIOS wireless has literally been disabled [07:28] ... as if I'd gone into the BIOS and disabled it myself [07:28] did you re-enable it? [07:28] sure did, still nothing [07:28] extropy, try in command "sudo modprobe" [07:28] Does Ubuntu haves GPT support in kernel ? [07:29] just went back into the bios, disabled again [07:29] I'll try the modprobe [07:29] ive never seen this behavior before.. :( [07:30] modprobe will require you to also identify the driver. [07:30] for example, i use the b43 driver for my wireless. [07:31] also I seem to always have a problem with my fonts rendering incorrectly [07:31] so for me to enable wireless would be "sudo modprobe b43" [07:31] like if an "A" looks screwed up ... all of the "A"s look identical, but screwed up [07:31] mine was doing that earlier. i found a restart fixed it. [07:31] Does Ubuntu haves GPT support in kernel ? [07:31] unsure why it does it [07:31] it stopped doing this until I updated to 12.10 [07:32] thats why ;X [07:32] no wait, think this one is still 12.04 [07:32] no idea then ... [07:32] your on a system that is in RC stage..so expect those. [07:32] had the same probably in 11.x [07:32] Eagleman: it should. The kernel should be the same regardless of distro [07:32] shankysv87: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1272733/ [07:32] ive never seen it. have you tried reloading the wifi module? [07:33] why do I get the feeling that with each ubuntu release cycle old buggy apps that have already been fixed ... end up needing to be fixed again? [07:33] Elwood123 i have to be sure becuase i am trying to set up a 3 TB disk [07:33] Eagleman: good questions ubuntu seems to be like that of late [07:33] LOL, extropy that happens with EVERYTHING. [07:33] it's like the reverse of fixing your code in subversion only to find out one of your co-workers already fixed it [07:33] extropy: good questions ubuntu seems to be like that of late [07:34] if people didnt fix what isnt broken, we'd be okay. buuuuut depends update so they have to catch up to use whats out..endlesscycle(); [07:34] Hi. [07:34] extropy, why the fuck are you using subversion? [07:34] instead of having it fixed before you applied your own patch ... your co-worker breaks it again just for "the lulz" ever time you fix it [07:34] shankysv87: this my chip: Ethernet controller: InProComm Inc. IPN 2220 802.11g [07:34] i use subversion for checkouts.. [07:34] Elwood123: I don't, ever. I was just making fun of it actually ... [07:35] and Eagleman, yea, wiki says it supports gpt. If your using lilo, then your fucked, but if you use grub, your good [07:35] !language | Elwood123 [07:35] Elwood123: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [07:35] but this is impossibly frustrating ... swear to god I'll have to wipe my netbook completely just to get my wireless back ... and all I did was disable it with an app? how is ubuntu interacting with the BIOS? [07:36] I feel like the chinese have disabled my flight-deck computer remotely with some rogue satellite constellation no one knew about and the whole thing is going down in flames ... [07:36] check if the app is still disabling it? [07:36] has anyone built a port mirror on ubuntu... [07:37] or purge the app completely [07:37] and I'm sure it's no coincidence that I never remember my touchpad being this crappy ... [07:37] everythign i have tried so far has failed..and im a little frustrated [07:37] did X-rays from my flight just screw up all my hardware? [07:37] extropy: no but static can do that to touchpads if bad, i think [07:38] hello? [07:38] Hola! [07:38] i tried to create a new file with name "password.pas" in my disk drive [07:38] but i got this error [07:38] tmbao: hello ;-) ... 'just ask' a clear well worded question... no nede to ask to ask etc. [07:38] I get this weird feeling that whatever software is responsible for controlling my wireless software needs root privvies to tweak the wireless and doesn't have them ... but that's purely a guess based entirely on intuition here [07:39] extropy, wherethe hell are you? [07:39] *wireless hardware, rather [07:39] extropy, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper [07:39] i got this error when i tried to create a "password.pas" file : "sorry, could not rename "untitled pascal solution.pas" to "password.pas": Error renaming files: input/output error [07:40] how can i fix it? [07:40] py [07:40] test [07:40] shankysv87: have you find anything? [07:40] teste [07:40] it's a good thing I brought more than one computer with more or I'd be totally screwed [07:40] hi guy. i have lenovo s205 installed Ubuntu. but wireless is not working so i searched internet and try it. but i couldn't fix. :( is there anyone can fix it??? [07:41] tmbao: does that file already exist? are you trying to write to a readonly device? does the 'dmesg' kernel messages give indication of disk errors ? [07:41] no [07:41] my wireless was working this morning [07:41] it's not exist [07:41] tmbao: ^ see questions 2 and 3 [07:41] nikos_, sorry i send your answer to someone else by accident, try looking over this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper [07:41] on transoceaning flight later ... toast >.< [07:42] test [07:42] it will try and use the windows version of your drivers to get it working. seems like this is the only solution at the current time. [07:42] this seems like a pretty simple bug to report "I disabled wireless and it never came back" ... can't really explain it any better than that [07:42] Oh, no, it had existed , but today, it disappeared :-<, i tried to recreate it and got this error [07:43] extropy: include versions (ubuntu!) and wireless hardware in your report [07:43] ctoveloz_br: we see you typing test. [07:43] tmbao: humm onto waht menium ? [07:43] [L3top]: auto translate for mirc [07:43] enyc: word [07:44] !br [07:44] Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português.

[07:44] tmbao: sorry i mean medium -- e..g. are you writing onto a usb-stick or your home-directory on hard disk? etc. [07:45] i have already opened this page but i didnt find something about sanning issues. the driver is installed. the wireless is ticked. i gave to /etc/modules the command to start ndiswrapper everytime the system starts but i cannot scan any wireless network. that's the point. any idea? i am close but... [07:45] yup, i tried to create in my ntfs disk drive (with ntfs-3g installed) [07:46] if i create this file with another name, there is no error, so i think may be it still exists, but i can't see it [07:46] you might have to disable the driver and re-enable it. [07:46] typically that will reset the hangup it might be having. [07:47] tmbao: its hard to explain here... debiug... test the ntfs- usb-stick on another machine, etc. [07:47] anyone know how to fix dpkg: error: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 23256 package 'odbcinst1debian2:i386': mixed non-coinstallable and coinstallable package instances present E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) [07:47] so running running "rfkill list all" shows that the Wireless LAN is "SoftBlocked" hasn't anyone ever heard of ... iwconfig? why is "softblock" even a thing? [07:48] hi, what's the sources.list for jaunty? [07:48] 12.10 beta 1 [07:48] ok, so it is still 12.04 LTS [07:48] wodim: it bmight have moved to archives... no longer supported... install lucid10.04 or later ? [07:48] i prefer not to do that [07:48] ok, but i think this problem because of my harddisk's error (maybe), how can i check it? [07:49] ah found it [07:49] tmbao: above, i told you to look into 'dmesg' kernel messages for clues [07:49] Japanese keyboard layout doesn't type no as one symbol. for a solution, should I install ibus or scim? [07:49] s/no/"no"/ [07:50] Can i use ext4 with parted? [07:50] nikos_, "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" [07:50] ok, so "rkill unblock 0" fixed my problem ... [07:50] 0 being my wlan0 [07:51] shankysv87: ok. i gave it. what next. logout/restart or nothing? [07:51] but that completely blows my mind that "Disable Wireless" removes anything wireless related from the networkmanager applet [07:51] what was the result of the command? [07:51] sorry, it's is my oppinion, here is anything when in 'dmesg' http://paste.ubuntu.com/1272750/ [07:51] it should have printed a response. [07:52] thing I'll just put slap 12.10 Beta on this netbook and hope this never happens again ... o.O [07:52] shankysv87 http://paste.ubuntu.com/1272756/ [07:52] test [07:53] nikos_, and is it still configuring or has it begun looking for the next command? === Jikan is now known as Jikai [07:55] additional infomation: when i tried to delete the folder which i tried to create the file "Error when getting information for file '/media/Data/Dropbox/SCH/PASSWORD/password.pas': Input/output error" [07:55] i didnt logout/restart. everything looks like it was before the command [07:57] nikos__, unfortunately, that exceeds my ability to diagnose your issue. I would try to post a topic on the ubuntu help forums and wait for an answer. [07:57] mkpart primary 0.00TB 3.00TB is not suggested by gparted any idea why? [07:57] wireless networks are 'gray' and no networks can be scanned. but the wireless connection is 'ticked'. does this mean that the driver works but it cannot just scan or does it mean that it doesn't work at all? [07:58] even after i hit apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, package manager still shows updates to be installed. what the fur? [07:59] dagerik: try apt-get dist-upgrade [07:59] test [07:59] i have found that the driver might be not loaded correctly will cause such issues. Being that i've never worked with your NIC, i'm in rather unfamiliar territory. again i've exhausted my ability to assist.

Not that it immediately stopped working after the podcasts went on, but that was the last thing I did to it between when it did and didn't work [08:27] hi all. how can i be sure that my ndiswrapper can scan wireless networks? when i am using a pcmcia card i can found 3 networks. with onboard card running with ndiswrapper no network is available. sudo ifconfig wlan0 up doesnt gives meany wrong message. [08:27] sudo iwlist wlan0 scan gives me : wlan0 No scan results [08:28] Kartagis, it appears to be mounting somewhere in /tmp now. I'm not sure if that's normal.

[08:53] I just installed into my fresh Ubuntu, but didnt work! {from aptitude pkg} [08:53] <[deXter]> aafa, Everytime youtube updates their pages, it breaks youtube-dl.. because they have to parse the HTML code to grab the videos [08:54] <[deXter]> And everytime, youtube tries to make it harder for other programs to access their site [08:54] <[deXter]> A lot of good sites no longer work because of this, like, clipconverter.cc :( [08:54] [deXter]: i see, firstly i thought it's OS related cos i was using youtube-dl with no probs a month ago with 12.04, after reinstallation, i just installed yotube-dl and didnt work at all on any video [08:56] [deXter]: is there a alternative command line tool to youtube-dl? or graphical app can..any idea?

[09:08] the left packages are: http://dpaste.com/812347/ [09:08] there is a mess with this user's old kernels. [09:08] the postrm.d scripts are failing upon update-grub or update initramfs [09:09] ardchoille: :-\ [09:09] the process simply stalls, with os-probe hooks dangling in ps [09:09] doing nothing. [09:09] Kartagis, Thanks again for the help earlier [09:09] I'd like to have some help with that. [09:09] sbarcteam, does this machine have a separate /home partition? [09:10] yes. but I need the machine up as much as possible. [09:10] How do i partition my 3 TB disk? that would be from 1 to -1? http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:GUID_Partition_Table_Scheme.svg&page=1 [09:10] the user is working remotely. [09:10] [ssh] [09:10] sbarcteam, only one user? [09:10] And the list of packages [09:10] one main user, yes. [09:11] I minimized the list of unconfigured packages to the one linked above. [09:11] but kernel, grub, etc. are ... kinda must :) [09:11] Hi. I upgraded my ubuntu and now when I try to start kdm I get the following message: /etc/init.d/kdm: 54: /etc/init.d/kdm: initctl: not found === Abbas5 is now known as Abbas| [09:11] Mechdave: I am already considering to edit dpkg related files manually [09:12] http://orcs.biz [09:12] sbarcteam, so is there any reason this update can't be scheduled when the users aren't on? [09:12] Sorry, it was wrong user [09:12] no time, man. [09:12] sbarcteam, you are upgrading to 12.04 right? [09:12] yes. [09:13] is the installer cd capable to detect older install and ... cleanup the stuff, except the home and keep the package list like before ? [09:13] [I'm using some ppa's for older pythons, etc.] [09:14] not on automatic sbarcteam [09:14] frozsak: what automatic ? [09:14] hay people [09:14] gui install [09:14] hi [09:14] sbarcteam, I have always found if I upgrade the system is less stable than a fresh install for some reason. With this in mind an hour missing of uptime to install the new system would be easier than dealing with broken packages? [09:15] who might advice me how to see what's programs used my RAM memory [09:15] devjustforfun: htop [09:15] sbarcteam, you can insert the cd and it will ask if you want to upgrade [09:15] Mechdave: I agree. [09:15] I better do this.... [09:16] wait. [09:16] how can I upgrade something that is already claiming to be the same version ? [09:16] :) [09:16] the upgrade procedure was stuck. [09:16] But the lsb_release is already "precise". [09:17] sbarcteam, where did it stick? [09:17] upon grub/initramfs related postrm.d stuff. [09:17] ThinkT510 what's column i should see [09:17] sbarcteam, so it hung when installing grub and kernel then [09:18] yes. [09:18] ThinkT510 and how to sort by memoty column [09:18] hello. anyone have any idea how I can debug why eth0 gets disabled after a while? doing a dmesg | grep driver_name I see "irq 44 for MSI/MSI-X" [09:18] devjustforfun: look at the bottom: f6 [09:19] at that point, no more wired connections appear in the connections menu [09:19] ThinkT510 and how to make not % Mem usage [09:19] and real values [09:19] sbarcteam, if you do uname -a it will tell you the kernel version. if it is the same as the install then kernel is there [09:19] sbarcteam, then you can concentrate on fixing grub before reboot [09:19] Mechdave: it is the previous system's kernel. [09:20] but lsb_release already prints out the new version of system. [09:20] devjustforfun: no idea [09:20] sbarcteam, so if you try and install the latest kernel with apt-get what happens? [09:20] the files of the kernel image are present, but the initramfs file is called -generic.new, not -generic [09:20] hello :D [09:21] wtf [09:21] ThinkT510 thanks [09:21] MonkeyDust its the latest openstack release [09:23] hm. basically, the command run-parts fails upon (sample kernel): run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postrm.d/zz-update-grub 3.0.0-17-generic /boot/vmlinuz-3.0.0-17-generic [09:23] sbarcteam, I think the issue here is getting grub to install and set it all up [09:23] hi guys [09:24] when i install startupmanager it gives " startupmanager : Depends: python-glade2 (>= 2.12) but it is not going to be installed : Broken packages" and when i install python-glage2 it gives "python-glade2 : Depends: python-gtk2 (= 2.22.0-0ubuntu1) but 2.22.0-0ubuntu1.1 is to be installed" and when i install python-gtk2 it says python-gtk2 is already the newest version." what might be the problem ... [09:24] Hey hey. [09:24] please refer: http://dpaste.com/812352/ [09:25] any idea how can i restore default system fonts in xubuntu 12.04? [09:25] as if the postrm hooks of already not installed kernels are trying to remove missing files STILL. [09:25] KingoftheRing: rock n roll is here to stay? [09:25] Anyone got the new stratagus game going? [09:25] Mechdave: I mean you, please refer. [09:25] sbarcteam, if you run grub-install /dev/to/install/grub/on [09:26] hal: if you have to ask :D [09:26] Mechdave: it works (no errors reported) [09:26] sbarcteam, Ok so it is an uncaught exeption [09:26] so, how do I enable eth0 after it's been disabled [09:26] ? [09:26] sbarcteam, has it found your new kernel? [09:26] KingoftheRing: heh, I thought you had started singing a song ;) [09:27] it shows it as found, but it fails to run postrm hooks, and stalls as I pasted. [09:27] hal: I'm the king of the ring, come here and follow me. [09:27] if I kill'em, the process is progressing to the next non-existing kernel. [09:27] hal: Me the king of the ring, bringing you the energy. [09:28] So no ones got the new Aleona's Tales going? [09:28] Drat, I'll figure this thing out. [09:29] Mechdave: these /boot/vmlinuz-3.0.0-??-generic files are not present. [09:29] but why does it run these hooks ? [09:29] Hey, I have a really weird issue with my laptop. When I plug in the power, the CPU usage goes up to 100% (evenly distributed over all processes) and stays there for about 15 minutes. [09:29] (Yes, I said it before, but more people etc) [09:30] sbarcteam, Hmmmm, but it has found them! [09:30] Any idea what may cause it? [09:30] l4mRh4X0r: At max clock? [09:31] Nope. [09:31] It hangs at min [09:31] is there a developer support channel? [09:31] just booted my brand new ubuntu server,and it came up like: login: init: plymouth-splash main process (442) terminated with status 1 any ideas please? [09:31] That's the problem, it tries to run : /etc/kernel/postrm.d/zz-update-grub on missing kernels. where does it know which kernels are present ? [09:31] i installed lightdm window management but i got kde on ubuntu. can anyone tell me that both are same or different [09:31] IT has the corresponding packages in rH state. [09:31] is there a developer support channel? Got a drag-and-drop problem because of unity-2d in 12.04 [09:31] when i install startupmanager it gives " startupmanager : Depends: python-glade2 (>= 2.12) but it is not going to be installed : Broken packages" and when i install python-glage2 it gives "python-glade2 : Depends: python-gtk2 (= 2.22.0-0ubuntu1) but 2.22.0-0ubuntu1.1 is to be installed" and when i install python-gtk2 it says python-gtk2 is already the newest version." what might be the problem ... [09:32] KingoftheRing: the funny thing is, unplugging the power instantly "fixes" it [09:32] l4mRh4X0r: Does the clock remain the same when you plug the power in? [09:32] Yes. [09:32] Stecchino: there is #ubuntu-devel [09:32] Or at least, so says /proc/cpuinfo [09:33] ardchoille: I'm not interested in developing ubutnu but applications on ubuntu. I'll try #ubuntu-app-devel [09:33] sbarcteam, what happens if you run apt-get -f to fix the packages? [09:33] hello can anyone help me [09:33] sasuke: ask and see === milo_ is now known as Guest66274 [09:35] ActionParsnip, i installed lightdm window management but i got kde on my ubuntu. both are same or different [09:35] sasuke: you can use whichever DM you desire. There is just one which is used [09:35] getting ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxxxxxx-xxxx ...‎doesnot exist [09:35] what should i do? [09:36] What's the ubuntu tool to generate an xorg.conf? [09:36] After an update my X stopped working [09:36] tried web solutions, none work in my case. [09:36] ActionParsnip, my question is lightdm and kde.. is there any difference between them [09:36] sbarcteam, assuming the packages are broken [09:37] sasuke: lightdm is a display manager, KDE is a desktop environment. [09:37] ActionParsnip, i installed lightdm but i got kdm desktop management [09:37] sasuke: KDE is a desktop environment, lightdm is a login manager. [09:37] Uh. [09:37] sasuke: And you want to use lightdm instead? [09:38] You can configure it with update-alternatives I think. Or, you can run dpkg-reconfigure lightdm. Or you can just uninstall kdm. [09:39] sasuke: thats fine, you can do that [09:39] ActionParsnip, can you tell me plz [09:40] sasuke: If you want to use lightdm, just install it === osmosis is now known as Guest97661 [09:41] what window manager would provide me most screen space.. gnome feels so restricted.. [09:41] SmoothSage: ratpoison. [09:41] Just kidding ;D [09:41] Besides, Gnome is not a window manager. [09:42] ActionParsnip, its telling that "already installed new version" [09:42] right Wizard [09:42] what should i do create more screen space ? [09:42] is there a way to check the /etc/network/interface file to ensure it is correct, i did a restart of networking an no errors, but get boot problems "plymouth type thing" when i restart [09:42] SmoothSage: I use Unity on a 1024x600 netbook, I just made icons on the left smaller. [09:43] Also, using smaller fonts is a good idea. [09:43] KingoftheRing: any idea, or should I be asking someone else? :P [09:44] SmoothSage: If it still isn't what you want take a look at dwm, wmii and ratpoison. [09:44] l4mRh4X0r: I'm just a lowly, ignorant peon. [09:44] /msg NickServ identify politron [09:44] l4mRh4X0r: I only came here to play some Wargus. :D [09:45] l4mRh4X0r, try playing around with ur laptop power profiles [09:45] Wizard, thanx for your cmd. Need to check after rebooted [09:45] should dns-nameservers 192.168.0.9 go in /etc/network/interfaces or elsewhere? [09:45] Reboot is not needed for this, sasuke. [09:45] Wizard, you mean logout is enough [09:46] sasuke: No, I mean reboot is not needed. You can kill kdm and start lightdm with "service" command. [09:47] Actually, reboot is needed only after kernel update, in fact ;P [09:48] sbarcteam, How is the progress? [09:48] all my friends got ascii codes when downloading my file on my ubuntu one. what do I do? [09:49] Wizard, nothing happend after issue this cmd "sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop" & "sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm start" [09:50] the broken are broken. [09:50] I'm starting to mess with /var/lib/dpkg [09:50] Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary. [09:50] sbarcteam, broken packages? [09:51] I think so. === Kartrohm_afk is now known as Kartrohm [09:51] The files have been removed, but postrm hooks are still trying to remove them. [09:51] what is the output of apt-get -f [09:51] gets stuck the way dpkg --configure -a does. [09:52] with the same grub-mkconfig stuck with os_prober's [09:54] sbarcteam, I don't know what else to suggest :( [09:54] I need a way to tell dpkg to remove the package without the hooks. [09:55] sbarcteam: Hooks are usually shell scripts stored somewhere in /var. [09:55] The trick is you have to find failing script and remove it by hand. [09:56] And next time think twice before using PPA ;P [09:56] Besides, no warranty™ [09:58] sbarcteam, here is the man page for dpkg --> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/dpkg.1.html [09:58] it's more "run-parts" how do I disable it / [09:58] Mechdave: there's a flag --no-triggers. [09:58] I need no parts. [10:01] sbarcteam, but it won't do what you need [10:02] How do i fix Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary. ? [10:04] Eagleman: Why you want to? [10:04] In my unity application indicator, kde-accessible appears and can not be hidden. It always reappears not so long after I click on it and clik "quit." I have check the dconf-editor, whitelist, but I cannot find it. It seems to me that it appeared for the first time when I ran orca. From kde-desktop I was able to hid it. Any suggestion? [10:07] yes. it didn't [10:07] Wizard one partition on a 3 TB disk eating almost all of the space, but then without this error: Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary. [10:08] ive got a brand new server setup, ive set the /etc/network/interfaces and resolv.conf and i can ping local servers, i just cant ping www.google.co.uk for example, giving: ping: unknown host www.google.co.uk any ideas please? [10:08] AdvoWork: can you ping 8.8.8.8? [10:09] AdvoWork: looks like DNS or routing misconfiguration. [10:09] Mechdave: ideas are welcome. [10:09] seems I'm VERY close to the end. the question is of what. [10:10] trying to reboot. [10:10] sbarcteam, I am having a read... I am getting an idea. Just bear with me for a bit :) [10:10] IF that doesn't work, I'll install the system frmo the CD. [10:10] Mechdave: Cool. lemme hear the idea! [10:11] BTW update-grub does get stuck as well. [10:12] old ubuntu versions 8.04 reached 8.04.4 and 8.10 stayed at 8.10, is this correct? [10:12] codescience: yes, because 8.04 is LTS, there are the intermediate releases [10:12] codescience 8.10 is dead [10:12] only LTS releases get point releases, correct [10:12] codescience: 8.10 isn't LTS so only has one release [10:13] Hello [10:13] How do i get a lua bot in my channel [10:14] How do i fix Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary. ? [10:14] Tete-360 ask i #freenode or so [10:14] in* [10:14] ideas..... [10:14] Eagleman: could try messing with the partition in gparted in the livecd [10:14] Can anyone help with debconf for the debian .deb package I have created from scratch.. any document / help will be very useful.. Thanks in advance.. [10:14] thank you. [10:15] ActionParsnip i am using parted on the cli [10:15] all my friends got ascii codes when downloading my file on my ubuntu one. what do I do? [10:15] all my friends got ascii codes when downloading link of my file on my ubuntu one. what do I do? [10:15] linocisco get new friends [10:15] Eagleman: not used that but gparted is just a GUI for parted so should be ok as long as the partition is unmounted you are ok [10:15] (joke) [10:15] linocisco: what are you using to share the data? [10:16] sbarcteam, is this system a desktop or a server edition? [10:16] ActionParsnip, ubuntuone [10:16] linocisco: so you are giving a URL and they are downloading the file? [10:16] ActionParsnip, sure [10:16] Mechdave: desktop [10:17] Anyone aware of creating debconf templates for new packages ? [10:17] ActionParsnip, I could download it from my browser on my computer. but they didn't [10:17] what happens if you run update manager [10:18] geekyogi: I've use checkinstall to make a deb from source code if that's similar [10:18] Mechdave: I need to kill dpkg --configure first. wait. [10:18] de === ubuntu is now known as Guest23754 [10:18] ok [10:18] it is working.... [10:18] ok [10:19] ok [10:19] Hello everyone [10:19] hi [10:19] I have some problem went install ubuntu directly HDD [10:19] ActionParsnip, Wizard think i spotted my problem, i wanted dns-nameserves in /etc/network/interfaces, and i read i need to install resolvconf this overwrote my resolv.conf file, so ive done sudo apt-get remove resolvconf and have manually put my stuff back in, seems ok, but is that the correct way to do it? [10:19] I have some problem went install ubuntu directly HDD [10:19] I can't unmount isodevide [10:19] ok [10:20] Mechdave: it is stuck on the same fscking spot. [10:20] How can I unmount isodevide? [10:20] ActionParsnip i cant right now since i am remote [10:20] Upon: Setting up friendly-recovery (0.2.25) ... [10:20] it should work with parted but i have no idea where to start with the partition [10:20] can anyone help me?

[10:22] Wizard, this is 10.04(and has to be unfortunately) [10:23] Hello, having a speaker bug. sound only from headset. no channels muted eather. anyone know a fix for this ? [10:23] sbarcteam, why is it unfair? [10:23] AdvoWork: If it works now, than I guess it is preferred (from my point of view at least) :D [10:23] Wizard,yeah i thought that lol === Guest41218 is now known as VlanX [10:24] Besides, 10.4 is still supported, so I see no reason why you would want to change it :) [10:24] D4rkH4nd: can you give the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh [10:25] sbarcteam, sorry but I am falling asleep at my keyboard... Need sleep. Hope you can work it out [10:25] one sec [10:25] Mechdave: It's noon :/ [10:25] Wizard, not where I am [10:25] i have perfomance issues what can i do to find the problems and solve them? [10:25] it is nearly 9pm here [10:26] toshgsh, lets learn top [10:26] blackshirt: top? [10:26] Wizard, I have been up since 5am [10:26] Aww.. [10:26] toshgsh, what performance problem happen to you? [10:27] blackshirt: the opening of programs is slow [10:27] *are slow [10:27] Mechdave>: same here, home at 8pm [10:28] what programs? [10:28] D4rkH4nd: please post the link in here [10:28] all the programs? [10:28] blackshirt: its like the frequency of ram dissapeared [10:28] yes [10:28] and the speed of the cpu [10:28] maybe some hardawre issue [10:29] blackshirt:maybe so i ll red to hardware channel? [10:29] refer? [10:29] you can get that here if someone is willing and has a hr or so to spend. [10:29] toshgsh. if you restart them still slow? [10:29] blackshirt:yes [10:30] blackshirt:in windows 7 i dont have a problem about perfomance [10:30] if i suspected ram, i'd pull stick by stick and see if i had a bad stick. and shutting down before i pull sticks aswell. [10:30] blackshirt:so the os is the problem [10:30] uhm, windows doesnt work like linux toshgsh [10:30] Is it possible to integrate pidgin with envelope-icon? [10:30] yeah i know [10:30] yekoms:but the thing is that one day ubuntu just became slow [10:31] then how can you compare the two ? :P [10:31] toshgsh, just randomly it began slow? [10:31] yekoms:i dont believe in randomness but it seems [10:31] yekoms:maybe i ve done something install something i dont know [10:31] well, when you noticed this "performance" did you change/update something? [10:32] check dpkg installation logs for new packages then. [10:32] yekoms:this is the point i updated/changed a lot of things [10:32] yekoms:the dpkg packages that has paper logs for 2 weeks? [10:32] you can start with logfiles for certian applications that write them. [10:33] yekoms: all the applications start slow [10:33] dpkg records it all..it can go back to the first backup..depends on if you clean log archived files. [10:33] i m trying to make ndiswrapper scan wireless networks after i -suppose- installed my 'InProComm Inc. IPN 2220 802.11g' device. here the paste (http://paste.ubuntu.com/1272934/) of some commands i found here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper#Configuring_Wireless_Network_Settings_using_command_line. does my device is properly installed and just cannot scan wireless? or is not properly installed. does prope [10:33] innstallation shoud enable scanning or does scan procedure is something different which is not enabled yet? [10:34] yekoms: i dont have a backup thats s problem [10:34] toshgsh: did you try Unity2D session? [10:34] you have logs to see if anything is might be causing this, have you tried watching 'top' toshgsh ? and see if something is munching your ram [10:35] ActionParsnip: no [10:35] toshgsh: I recommend you try it [10:35] ActionParsnip: but i dont want to stick with unity 2d [10:35] toshgsh: its only to test...think about it [10:35] ActionParsnip: how this could solve my problem? [10:36] unity is laggy for me..and choppy. but id try testing a different wm. [10:36] yekoms: yeah ,true but before i could run unity just fine [10:36] How do i partition a 3 TB disk to use 99% of the space using GPT and parted without giving me this error in fdisk -l Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary. [10:36] what are you using now? [10:36] toshgsh: if your GPU is misconfigured or not good enough to run Unity3D and Compiz, the desktop will run slowly. If you use Unity2D then you will use Metacity instead of COmpiz and if it then runs well then you know your video chip is the source ofd the issue [10:37] i have intel core i7-720QM [10:37] 1.6ghz-2.8 ghz [10:37] i dont think thats a problem [10:37] toshgsh: doesn't matter, if its miconfigured it will run badly. You could have the worlds fastest whatever from the fuure, its all about config [10:37] i have the i7-3200K unleashed..but i still have some performance issues.. [10:37] toshgsh: its just to TEST, it's fre and you don't have to install additional packages [10:38] yeah thats what iam talking about maybe the config is the problem [10:38] toshgsh: why write it off when you haven't even tried it [10:38] then test a different window manager. [10:38] toshgsh: it makes zero sense [10:38] okay then i will go to unity2d [10:38] try gnome if you can. [10:38] and then again to 3d and see if that solves it? [10:38] some people need telling a million times some days [10:38] i use openbox cause of its lightweight . [10:38] no, we're testing for a difference in performance. [10:38] i all use the most of them and then i ll go back to 3d [10:39] and i ll come again [10:39] http://pastie.org/5034384 [10:39] ahh [10:39] toshgsh: all you need to test is 2D. [10:40] D4rkH4nd: http://pastie.org/5034426 [10:40] ActionParsnip: ahh okay i forgot to mention that sometimes when i switch betweeen 2d and 3d nothing works, i can see only the wallpaper of my screen nautilus everything is sead [10:40] dead* [10:40] toshgsh: then launch nautilus from ALT+F2 [10:40] okay [10:40] toshgsh: or from terminal (press CTRL+ALT+T) [10:40] D4rkH4nd: source: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure [10:41] D4rkH4nd: Lucid deskjtop is EOL real soon. I suggest a clean install or Precise [10:41] ActionParsnip:yeah but what causes this? [10:41] ActionParsnip:i mean why i should do this? [10:41] any idea or advise? [10:41] toshgsh: there is an issue, we are dealing with it. You could always reboot then log in to the 2D session off the bat [10:42] ill brb then thank you for the help [10:42] ActionParsnip:so its a bug? [10:42] toshgsh: possibly [10:42] ActionParsnip:okay thanks i ll be back [10:42] Eagleman: What size are the sectors on the device? Sectors are usually 512 bytes, but on larger devices that drives the sector_offset value very large so sometimes the devices adopt 1024 byte sectors. That could confuse fdisk unless you tell it to work with the correct sector-size. Check /var/log/kern.log to see what sector-size the drive reports [10:43] toshgsh: log in to Unity2D when the system first boots, is the desktop responsive? [10:44] poor ActionParsnip - I thought you were going to go hoarse there :) [10:44] TJ-: neigh, not me :) [10:44] * TJ- winnies [10:48] nothing again the same perfomance issues [10:49] ActionParnsip [10:49] toshgsh: ok so we know it isn't the window manager causing slowness [10:49] toshgsh: do you use a switchable GPU (nvidia + intel etc), or do you just use the intel gpu? [10:50] ActionParsnip: i dont have switcable gpu [10:50] ActionParsnip: iam using ati [10:51] TJ- Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes [10:51] Its the WD red [10:53] how well Lenovo w510 runs ubuntu 12.04? [10:53] Marzatha: try it and see [10:56] toshgsh: if you run: sudo lshw -C display do you see an Intel GPU too? [10:56] Eagleman: OK, so the drive us using ATA-8 Advanced Format 4KB sectors [10:57] Would someone help me with one last promblem tonight. I need to burn my iso of Morrowind to PlayonLinux can see it. But idk how to do that in linux [10:57] TJ- i think so [10:57] D4rkH4nd: I'd check the wine appd, it will tell you how to install it [10:58] Eagleman: recent versions of fdisk should therefore put the start of the first partition at sector 2048. What is fdisk actually doing in your case? [10:58] TJ- i am using parted since people on the internet said that fdisk isnt supported with GPT [10:59] ActionParsnip: no [10:59] Eagleman: Of course, sorry, my mistake. OK, parted needs to configure the GPT so that the dummy partition table has partition 1 start at sector 2048 [11:00] So lets start over [11:01] TJ- http://pastebin.com/CRiKknJX [11:02] i used mklabel gpt [11:04] Eagleman: looking at "man parted" I think you may need to do "parted --align optimal" - take a look at that and other options and see how they behave [11:05] Eagleman: This bit stands out to me "This aligns to a multiple of the physical block size in a way that guarantees optimal performance" [11:05] everytime that i install a program it gives me this: http://pastebin.com/6qdmRx1j [11:06] toshgsh: which ubuntu version? is that a chroot? [11:06] toshgsh: Have you inspected "/var/log/kern.log" for errors, especially related to read failures from the hard disk? [11:06] toshgsh: what else we should know about your system? [11:07] toshgsh: why are you using samba4? [11:07] ActionParsnip: AD [11:08] iceroot: can samba not do that? [11:08] ActionParsnip: no [11:08] i see [11:08] ActionParsnip: samba3 = nt domain, samba 4 = AD [11:08] iceroot: thanks, learned something today :) [11:08] ActionParsnip: as a primary domain controller [11:08] iceroot:12.04 lts [11:09] iceroot: nt uses AD, just an older version :) [11:09] TJ-: not yet [11:09] ActionParsnip: :) [11:09] TJ- parted -a optimal /dev/sdb started it like normal [11:09] ActionParsnip: what why?

[11:12] toshgsh: just curious, some folks sling on samba4 when all they need is basic file sharing [11:12] ActionParsnip: iam curious for things so.. [11:12] ActionParsnip: if i am correct hplib/cups are also using some samba4 stuff now [11:13] ActionParsnip: i have samba4 packages on my system because of my network printer on 12.04 [11:13] iceroot:i have some perfomance issued slow response etc what i can do to find the problems and eliminate them?

[11:28] Eagleman: what partition type did you use - if its msdos your limited to 2GB [11:29] GPT [11:29] you have to have a GPT partitioned disk for 2GB+ [11:29] ok [11:29] I am but it is impossible to make a partition without saying: Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary. [11:30] (thought i'd check... I use gdisk to partition GPT disks - that's on Arch though) [11:30] gdisk = fdisk that works with EFI/GPT disks [11:30] COME SCARICO FILM??? [11:30] sounds to me, ubuntu isnt fit for 3TB disks [11:30] I only want one partition of around 3TB big [11:31] use arch for partitoning perhaps....

[12:00] l33tc4t i'm using fallback/classic, it's very similar to gnome2 [12:00] l33tc4t: it's dead [12:00] Or install a new one?

[12:02] l33tc4t: if it is related to 10.10, yes [12:02] MonkeyDust: Well, I expect that there won't be any automatic updates, so my question is: Can it be done *manually*?

[12:09] gordonjcp: it only shows one icon per application,then you have to wait for it to expand etc. it's really awkward to use for me [12:11] Pici it's still not the same. conflicts with other windows... if it would be integrated into gnome3 it would be better imo. [12:11] besides it makes 2 lines, one for ubuntu's desktop's and one for windows... it's terrible [12:11] hard to explain... wait i upload screenshot [12:12] Are there other ways to check if Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary ? instead of fdisk?

I haven't tried that [13:28] a server problem so I've checked the sshd_config file and I've set the maximum simultaneous connections to 25. I can't understand why this is happening. [13:28] AdvoWork: sure [13:28] i believe its: find /path -name *.iso -exec rm {} ;\ [13:28] KDE is so slick and beautiful. I don't know why so many people complain about it :\ [13:28] let me google and make sure real fast. [13:28] yekoms: I find find's -delete argument to be more foolproof. [13:28] SubD: what version of ubuntu ? [13:28] thank you yekoms i'm trying the find part of it on my USB External to see if it will locate them [13:29] test msg [13:29] guys, how to wget file with it's path? [13:29] rexwin_: we can see [13:29] ikonia: the server is running 11.04 [13:29] example.com/some/path/file.jpg [13:29] woozly: man wget [13:29] please [13:29] I need help. [13:29] ikonia: the clients are all running windows and are using pscp. [13:29] Can't man right now... [13:29] SubD: ok, so from one PC, can you open 6 connections [13:29] ikonia, can you help me out [13:29] woozly: why ? [13:29] I need it right now.. big trouble.. very big trouble [13:30] rexwin_: I've offered you a suggestoin [13:30] woozly: man will take 30 seconds [13:30] bad english [13:30] have no time to read and translate it [13:30] :( [13:30] ikonia: I'm trying to setup 6 different connections to a single pc, simultaneously. [13:30] system can't find the disk by uuid reference, how can i resolve this [13:30] find /path -name *.iso -exec rm -v {} \; [13:30] thats the proper command designbybeck [13:30] ikonia: the server isn't pulling the files, the files are being pushed to the server. [13:31] SubD: yes, I understand that [13:31] i had the wrong slash, sorry [13:31] SubD: can you make 6 connections from 1 PC [13:31] SubD: at the same time [13:31] have tried everything on the webpages [13:31] yekoms: ...looks like that command from the Root of my USB Harddrive did look in all paths [13:31] i make 100 connections a minute from 1 PC. [13:31] still no luck [13:31] what does the {} mean in that command yekoms [13:31] rexwin_: what have you tried, summerise [13:31] {} is what find finds. [13:32] and the \ yekoms ? [13:32] designbybeck, do locate *.iso in the terminal , that will give you the path [13:32] i let ubuntu upgrade my other machine to 11.10. It installed unity, not very friendly on a dual screen machine. [13:32] is there a way for me to find the total size as well. so I know how much it is removing? yekoms [13:32] wraps the command i believe. so it'll do one per file. not really sure. [13:32] yekoms: So that will find all iso's in the path /path and then execute the rm command on each file that's found? [13:32] ikonia: i have not tested that. To be honest I don't have 6 different ssh servers to connect to to test it. [13:32] guys, [13:32] i unstalled unity and installed gnome [13:32] BluesKaj: I did try the find command yekoms recommended and It did find them in the term [13:32] Good morning all. Can someone let me know where the google-chrome repositories are? [13:32] how to google it [13:32] I can't understand [13:32] yekoms: That's brilliant! I didn't know you can hook actions right into your find command! God I'm such a newbie hahaha [13:32] have tried booting to CD and restore the system [13:32] if you use that command...it wont prompt you before it deletes, hope you realize this. [13:32] nooow i haave no menus [13:33] SubD: that's not what I said [13:33] ummm try google chronium [13:33] i think it's chronium.org [13:33] chromium* [13:33] yes just hope it doesn't do anything to any other files on the HD [13:33] lol [13:33] michealPW, man find ;) [13:33] rexwin_: anything else ? [13:33] designbybeck, odd, find didn't do that here [13:33] yes it will michealPW [13:33] no.. [13:33] paulens12: I mean, if I want to use the office, not chromium. [13:33] ikonia: so you want to know if i can make six connections to that server from one of my clients? [13:33] it boots into a twinview x screen [13:33] ikonia: i'll try it [13:33] oh.. [13:33] idk === deric is now known as dericpr [13:33] with no menus [13:33] nothing else [13:34] rexwin_: right, so all the web pages you said "boot and use recover" thats it [13:34] well, all the info should be in chromium.org [13:34] SubD: yes, just verify that your machine can support 6 + concurrent connections [13:34] yekoms: Do you know a good introduction/guide to find? [13:34] can i correct with terminal entries [13:34] please help me i am new to ubuntu [13:34] Sometimes the manuals to these utilities are so huge it's hard to follow... :\ [13:34] paulens12: Official, not office. Sorry. [13:34] xD [13:34] uhm, i use the manpage. [13:34] well, all the info should be in chromium.org [13:34] well i gotta run.. [13:34] hello [13:34] Righto, take care :P [13:34] when i run ubuntu2d it shows me the unity what iam doing wrong? [13:35] GUUUUUUUUUUUYYYYYYYYYSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [13:35] daammity [13:35] ?

[13:36] Anyone use Google Chrome (with the built-in PPAPI Flash) and know how to disable accelerated video decoding? Nothing I've tried works. The settings under /etc/adobe/mms.cfg are ignored; so is the "Settings" under the Flash video itself. [13:36] The version of Chrome and Flash are: 22.0.1229.94 and 11.4.31.110 [13:36] i got it when i tried to install ubuntu.. [13:36] In the startup [13:36] flan_suse: Google help you at all/ [13:36] ?* [13:36] so the virtual hard disk is not detected by the booting ubuntu [13:36] please, i have two network interfaces (wlan0 and wlan1), how can I know which interface are each one?

If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [13:36] can you help me with this? [13:36] It said UnknowOS and there is no Ubuntu [13:36] Why? [13:37] rexwin_: virtual hard disk ? [13:37] ikonia: I have just successfully established 6 connections to the server. None of them have dropped. [13:37] hey? xD [13:37] help me please [13:37] and me [13:37] ... [13:37] https://dl.dropbox.com/u/37687581/IMAG0667.jpg <- what's this? [13:37] Hi [13:37] hi [13:37] ner0x: Nothing on Google searches works... [13:38] SubD: great, so you know your connection support of 25 clients is valid [13:38] umm [13:38] why is #ubuntu-help closed? xD [13:38] SubD: so that's onething you can tick off your box [13:38] yes, ubuntu is a virtual machine inside XP [13:38] https://dl.dropbox.com/u/37687581/IMAG0667.jpg <- what's this? [13:38] ner0x: The typical answers are to modify /etc/adobe/mms.cfg (doesn't help) or to right-click and disable acceleration (doesn't help.) [13:38] paulens12: because it's not a valid support channel, this is the correct support channel [13:38] paulens12: This (#ubuntu) is the official Ubuntu support channel. [13:38] ok... [13:38] ikonia, i am using vbox [13:38] when i run ubuntu2d it shows me the unity bar,what iam doing wrong? [13:38] but it's full xD [13:38] ikonia: Perhaps I should initiate 6 different transfers using scp. [13:38] I have a remove computer with an NVIDIA card and VinoVNC, when i try to connect from remote desktop client i just get a black screen, any idea why this happens? [13:38] and i don't think someone will help me in next 30 minutes [13:38] *remote [13:38] lol [13:38] huge queue [13:39] toshgsh it's unity 2d === AaronMT_ is now known as AaronMT [13:39] rexwin_: ok, so the disk is not being presented using the correct uid. Verify the UUID and compare it against your config [13:39] ner0x: For some reason, it was fine with Flash 11.3 on Chrome, but now on Flash 11.4 for Chrome, the controls are slower and performance isn't as good. 11.3 WITHOUT hardware acceleration was actually much smoother. [13:39] SubD: well transfers are just connectsions/sessions, so I wouldn't worry about that at this time === slow-motion is now known as unsink-bar [13:39] what a gtk in ubuntu(studio)? ATI or Nvidia? === Calinou_ is now known as Calinou [13:40] Hi [13:40] BluesKaj: and yekoms that command worked like a champ! bad news it wasn't enough space removed for me to do my backup still! ;) gottta remove more files! [13:40] mraky there's also #ubuntustudio [13:40] ikonia: it is strange because when I check auth.log for sshd activity on a specific date I'm only seeing 3 connections. I don't see any mention of a connection being made which is failing. [13:40] lost all menus in11.10 want gnome classic [13:41] SubD: how are you telling your machines to connect (the remote ones) [13:41] Is there a tool that will compare/contrast duplicate files? Listing by date maybe and size? [13:41] MonkeyDust, thx.. [13:41] https://dl.dropbox.com/u/37687581/IMAG0667.jpg <- what's this? [13:41] gnome is installed uniity is not [13:41] can someone help me?.. [13:41] How can i disable my nvidia drivers from the terminal? [13:42] paulens12, this is the last thing you ever see when booting? [13:42] ikonia: at 2am each morning they run a batch script using windows task scheduler. the batch script takes a single database, copies it to a local backup folder (appending the date to the file) and then initiates a scp file transfer using pscp.exe. when I set up these clients I stood there and watched each of them successfully complete a backup. [13:43] hi. What swf player could I use to play a swf interactive animation? [13:43] can someone help me?.. [13:43] SubD: based on the fact that there is only 3 connections on the server I'd suggest this isn't a problem with the ubuntu machine [13:43] SubD: 1.) you've proved you can support 6 connections [13:43] paulens12, you posted a picture that does not display an error. so maybe elaborate a bit and someone in the channel might be able to help [13:44] SubD: 2.) if the machines where making a connection and failing you'd see failed connections === dpac|away is now known as dpac [13:44] SubD: it looks like it's not making the connection [13:45] ikonia: exactly it seems like they aren't trying. Yet when I check those machines I see that they completed the first task of the batch script, which was making a local copy of the database and appending the current date.. So I know that they are running the script. I also know that each night, different machines are failing to connect to the server. [13:45] ikonia: Perhaps this is a router issue on the server's side. [13:45] SubD: is it possible it's something like a firewall seeing 6 machines hit the server and thinking it's an attack and firewalling / [13:45] Hello world! Geezer with money is new to Ubuntu, is interested in easing the transition from windows with paid support. I have a few things about myself I need to clip and paste as background info if that's OK to do on IRC. [13:45] lasitter, wrong location. [13:46] SubD: I'm assuming they are using putty pagent and keys ? [13:46] Thank you. Which channel? [13:46] lasitter: contact canonical === Abbas5 is now known as Abbas- === Abbas- is now known as Abbas5 [13:46] lasitter: they have official support packages available [13:46] lasitter, if you want help with migration, you'll only find volunteers here, if you want paid step-by-step, contact canonical as ikonia suggests [13:46] I was hoping for something in between corporate support and end user support. [13:46] ikonia: they are all using a password to login to the same account. [13:47] lasitter: canonical offers end user support [13:47] Yes I saw canonical on the web. Sounds like a big corporation. [13:47] SubD: ok, I'd go back to something blocking inbetween client/server as you're not seeing a connection attempt in the logs suggesting it's never getting there === rzsz_ is now known as rzsz [13:47] lasitter: it's the people who make ubuntu, they know it better than anyone and they offer home user packages [13:47] hello [13:48] lasitter: plus it's nice to put money back into the OS you are using. [13:48] ikonia, where's that? i know 3 people that want that type of support ;P [13:48] TheLordOfTime: contact them, they have small low end support packages [13:48] 5 seats or less type thing [13:48] ikonia: So you're saying that canonical is help with a small "h" and is still reasonably affordable. I'm talking about a home network. [13:49] lasitter: canonical is the large business that makes and builds ubuntu, they offer support of all levels including home user support packages [13:49] lasitter ask your question here, maybe someone can help [13:50] what if unity doesnt work into ubuntu session? [13:50] ikonia: I am using fail2ban to prevent brute force attacks. Perhaps that is blocking my connections but under its own logs, it makes no mention of blocking my client IPs, just random drones. [13:50] I was originally just interested in setting up Ubuntu workstations, but it also occurred to me, just recently, that Ubuntu might be able to replace the WINS/DNS/DHCP server stuff on a separate laptop that's used for nothing else. [13:51] ikonia: Does canonical offer phone / skype help? Or is it all chatting? Any idea what their rates are like per hour? [13:52] SubD: worth a look though [13:52] lasitter: contact them and check their details, I know they have done phone and IRC help. I don't know about skype, but they are a flexible modern business [13:52] ikonia, where's the contact link? [13:52] (afaict, its not that easy to find) === Abbas5 is now known as Abbas| [13:53] ikonia: Fine. I'll check and see you later (maybe). [13:53] will someone help me get my drop down menus back [13:53] TheLordOfTime lasitter http://www.canonical.com/about-canonical/contact [13:53] TheLordOfTime: http://www.ubuntu.com/business/advantage [13:53] ikonia, thanks. :) [13:54] what if unity doesnt work into ubuntu session? [13:54] LMAO these are such brilliant systems. I can't decide between KDE 4, GNOME 3 or Unity haha. I love how lightdm integrates them all so nicely at the login screen. Brilliant! [13:54] toshgsh: I don't understand the question? [13:54] can someone help me?..

[14:18] hi all, i'm trying to install ubuntu 12.04 and after unetbootin install, i rebooted the laptop and with esc i selected the usb drive, but it's about 6min that in the left upper corner of the screen there is only a blinking cursor, any help? [14:18] it's just a bit harder to reach the bios, but it's still there [14:18] SolarisBoy don't know exactly [14:18] hrmm [14:19] D4rkH4nd install gnome3 fallback [14:19] they have like, a more user-friendly version of bios... but it doesn't delete the original one [14:19] i had some troubles with that on my lappy with windows pre-installed but got around it by having the ubuntu installer create an EFI partition [14:19] D4rkH4nd fallback/classic looks very much like gnome2 [14:19] still sucks [14:19] the installer doesn't even start [14:19] but :) [14:19] Found what I was looking for on canonical web site. They're asking $100 to $150 per seat per year. I was looking for more of a one-shot setup experience, and hopefully for under $200 to start.

[14:22] paulens12, when you boot from usb there shouldbe something like a boot menu, there you should be able to add options in the line that starts with "linux" [14:22] first line: I've just installed Ubuntu 10.04 netbook remix on an acer Aspire One D250, specs below: [14:22] fact: i didn't install it [14:22] so that's not for me [14:22] lol [14:22] smh [14:22] okies... [14:22] nibbler_, it doesn't boot. it gives me that screen. that's why i'm here. [14:22] it's a boot error or something...

[15:10] SolarisBoy: it is. this is a one time search, was hoping to be able to just use grep [15:10] jayeffkay: its possible [15:10] ActionParsnip, any idea? =/ [15:10] you shouldn't need to escape anything in single qoutes afaik [15:11] but im not sure if the regex characters are working as you think they are [15:11] jayeffkay: in this case what i do is remove the complexity - then add it back incrementally - if anything youll learn good regex [15:12] SolarisBoy: i know fantastic regex [15:12] just not bash [15:12] akSeya: can you give the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh [15:12] hrmm [15:12] or grep [15:12] jayeffkay: well yea... [15:12] then you would have a match - as knowing regex is knowing YOUR data =) [15:13] jayeffkay: you would need to post your file for better help [15:13] SolarisBoy: it consists of "envelopes" like this: jayeffkayhkjbjhb [15:14] ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/VLZsfeRe [15:14] so, hi again xD [15:17] does the XML traverse multi lines? if not the self="yes" key appears very sufficient to match on..

[15:30] also, ActionParsnip, kesi, unloading the usb module is a very bad idea if you're using a USB keyboard [15:30] ActionParsnip, like this: http://www.roman10.net/how-to-reset-usb-device-in-linux/?

[15:30] ciao [15:30] ActionParsnip, calrogman: No USB keyboard. [15:31] of course, ActionParsnip, but that's no implied in your advice and i make a habit of assuming the worst of people. [15:31] akSeya: ok change the line from positionfix=1 to: model=laptop [15:31] also if the file is all on one line it sounds like the line endings or encoding got messed up on it :) [15:31] kesi: looks a bit excessive [15:31] ActionParsnip, what's the simple way? [15:32] kesi: sudo modprobe -r usbhid hid; sleep 2; sudo modprobe usbhid hid === surge_ is now known as surgeterrix3 [15:33] ActionParsnip: could prompt for the password twice depending on your sudo config, do sudo ( modprobe -r usbhid hid; sleep 2; modprobe usbhid hid; ) [15:34] calrogman: shouldn't do, the grace period will be long enough for the 2 commands to fly === atrius_away is now known as atrius [15:34] ActionParsnip: again, "depending on your sudo config" [15:34] ActionParsnip, calrogman: am I supposed to replace something in that command for my particular device id? [15:34] no kesi [15:34] calrogman: i doubt the default has changed, but its better to be safe I guess [15:35] kesi: no, that is the command [15:35] kesi: it unloads the 2 modules, little pause then reloads them. It can wake up the devices [15:35] ActionParsnip, user@Pegasus:~$ sudo modprobe -r usbhid hid; sleep 2; sudo modprobe usbhid hid [15:35] [sudo] password for user: [15:35] FATAL: Error inserting usbhid (/lib/modules/3.0.0-22-generic-pae/kernel/drivers/hid/usbhid/usbhid.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) [15:36] kesi: did you (see dmesg)?

[17:08] bekks and bazhang - the command was glxinfo | grep OpenGL | pastebinit without the pastebinit it returns 5 lines of code. I don't think it could be timing out... [17:08] shazbotmcnasty, boot with 12.04 livecd and test..? [17:09] hilo: yes, Lucid server gets 5 though. I believe they made the LTS desktop and server both have 5 years now (easier to administer) [17:09] ^ yes [17:09] crizis: I have to manually install this card and I can't do so in a live environment. [17:09] And I need to make sure it works in this install, not another. [17:09] ActionParsnip, What about a server install with the desktop package installed via apt-get [17:10] hilo, only packages in main repository get support [17:10] hmf :) [17:10] :( * [17:10] hilo: then its a desktop OS [17:11] we upgraded from 8.04 to 10.04 at work 1 month before 12.04 release... :) [17:11] maybe by 14.04 we get 12.04.. :P [17:11] bekks and bazhang - any ideas? [17:11] I have found 12.04 to be extremely unstable in comparison to 10.04 [17:11] willdabeast, why two pipes [17:11] hilo: even in different DEs? [17:11] willdabeast, does a single one work [17:12] bazhang the person who was helping me before wanted me to pastebinit 2 of them together [17:12] bazhang I'll check [17:12] bazhang yes haha [17:12] ActionParsnip, Can you recommend others I could/should try? I have only used the default and my X session crashes often, even with very few things running out of clean boot. [17:12] hilo: XFCE is pretty decent [17:13] ActionParsnip, I had looked for gnome2 alternatives (gnome3 is blah) and I really like the gnome model in comparison to Unity [17:13] hilo: Unity isn't a desktop [17:13] hilo, gnome-panel is the "classic" look [17:13] hilo: when you use Unity, you have Gnome underneath [17:13] bazhang but its a different output just doing one [17:13] so no one knows anything about telnet??? [17:13] hilo, you can install 'gnome-panel' to get gnome3 fallback mode [17:13] how to enable it? [17:14] crizis what enterprise is that? i'm asking because i'm looking for case-studies [17:14] lenochka, thats a general topic [17:14] hilo, which is basically boring old gnome2 look [17:14] i'll pm MonkeyDust [17:14] I tried installing the gnome-panel package to get the classic look, but now nothing works in full screen [17:14] hilo: xfce4 is a bit easier to use, the gnome fallbnack thing is a little quirky [17:14] The panels are always on top [17:14] bazhang apparently grep OpenGL | pastebin doesn't work alone. [17:15] hilo: exactly, its not great :) [17:15] bazhang: how is it general? i have installed it, at least the package telnetd, but how can I start it? [17:15] I will try XFCE :) [17:15] willdabeast: you need to grep something. grep OpenGL on it's own makes no sense [17:15] hi all. i had the same problem described here:http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:6TkRX4S0cuwJ:linuxforums.org.uk/index.php%3Ftopic%3D1422.0+InProComm+Inc.+IPN+2220+802.11g+ndiswrapper&cd=1&hl=el&ct=clnk&gl=gr&client=ubuntu. i followed the advises and although seems tha the wireless card is loaded still cannot scan wireless and cannot manually connect to my router asking for key whch i gave already! any help or advice? its [17:15] very important for me! [17:16] actionparnsip but when I do two pipes together it won't pastebinit for me [17:16] http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man1/telnet-ssl.1.html lenochka [17:16] nikos_, which card [17:16] willdabeast: you need to grep something, a file, a stream, something [17:17] willdabeast: eg: grep OpenGL ~/.bashrc | pastebinit will search the ~/.bashrc file for the word 'OpenGL' [17:17] I need no telnet-ssl, i need raw telnet [17:17] well here's what I had before, glxinfo | grep OpenGL | pastebinit and it doesn't work [17:17] willdabeast: let me try [17:18] actionparsnip : ok thanks, because when I do glxinfo | grep OpenGL without the pastebinit it works fine.

[17:21] how can I set a shell script to run at boot completion time, and have it run as a specific user? [17:21] hi, I'm running an ubuntu server 2.6.32-43-generic-pae #97-Ubuntu SMP, and ext4 partitions. There are heavy slowdowns related to the kernel bug that in theory gets solved by doing 'echo 4 > /sys/fs/ext4/sdaN/max_writeback_mb_bump' for each N mounted partition. However, having done that, the slowdowns persist. How can I address this ? Is there a fixed kernel bakport that can be apt-get'd for instance?

I am trying to log something but am having a hard time. I found some rsyslog conf files but the impression I got was that only some stuff (mail, kernel) are logged [17:27] snakester: also, BestBot in #ubuntu-bots can give you more ideas [17:27] theadmin, is there a similar file where I can place shell scripts that need to run before the system starts shutting down and sending sigterm to all the processes?

[18:53] jrib: I put export PATH="...:$PATH" at the bottom (left the bash bit alone, though I don't use bash) and logged out and back in [18:53] jrib: then tried to run a command frmo ~/bin from gvim (:!command) as that doesn't run from my shell [18:53] Ririshi: That's indeed a little complited... imagine the word "that's", it wouldn't know if you want "that's" or "thatś". I got used to the space. [18:54] ThePendulum: what does complited mean? sorry, English isn't my primary language ;p [18:54] maybe I should put some debug statements in .profile and check .xsession-errors to see if it's actually running it for sure? [18:54] frooh: ok, first "..." isn't a valid path (i.e. be exact so we don't miss anything silly). Also, ~/bin should be automatically added to your PATH by the default ~/.profile once it exists at login [18:54] jrib: I took that part out of my .profile when I made it the following: export PATH="/home/frew/perl5/perlbrew/bin:/home/frew/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.16.0/bin:/home/frew/code/git-super-status/bin:/opt/bin:/home/frew/code/teatime/bin:/home/frew/bin:$PATH" [18:54] frooh: can you pastebin your ~/.profile ?

[18:55] *something <-- that's what I mean [18:55] ThePendulum or ririshi - any idea how to fix it? I think it has to do with video issues [18:55] ThePendulum: was that meant to tell me?

The wifi icon at the top often displays itself as not connected even tho I know I am. Also, When I click the wifi icon there are no networks showing. [19:56] Hi! I need few good arguments against wubi installations. People around me are installing ubuntu in the wubi way and I don't know how to explain them why they shouldn't do it. :D [19:58] hang in here and see dozens of broken wubi systems a week that no one knows how to fix Atlantic777 [19:58] i reccomend vbox over wubi. or install to a ysb flash drive === Jim_Lahey is now known as bobweaver [19:59] wubi is a "test drive" type setup. [20:00] I recommend them vbox, too but... They all think that it's good enough but they call me when something go wrong and... [20:00] I need something more than "that doesn't work ok". [20:01] wubi will go wrong more then vbox... [20:02] if windows dies so does wubi... :) a normal install is the way to go. [20:03] Atlantic777: wubi resides just inside one big windows file - if anything happens to that windows file - boom === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [20:04] guntbert: interesting... I didn't know how it actually works. [20:05] wubis main advantage is you dont repartirion your drives.. and its easy to remove... everything else about it is basically worse. :-) than a normal install [20:05] I have an ncurses program that borks the newline of my terminal on exit. As in, after closing the program I find that hitting return in my terminal doesn't give me another command prompt on the next line, but instead puts it on the same line as the previous one. [20:05] How do I 'turn newlines back on'? [20:06] Benxyzzy: even hitting return several times? [20:06] try the "reset" commant [20:06] Any such thing as dynamic system cron? [20:06] yes. It looks like ben@host:~$ ben@host:~$ ben@host:~$ ben@host:~$ ben@host:~$ ben@host:~$ [20:07] I will try reset [20:07] ner0x: clarify what you mean [20:07] dr_willis: reset is perfect, thanks [20:07] Benxyzzy: old school commands ;-) [20:08] dr_willis: Possibly setting the crontab entries in a db or something similar. [20:09] I'm trying to join my ubuntu machine to an AD domain. So far I can get a kerberos TGT with `kinit`, and `wbinfo -u` lists all the domain users. However, I'm unable to log on as any user. Any suggestions? [20:09] there are different crons you can try i imagine. not looked into cron i ages. [20:10] Those of you on 11.10, it's time to upgrade your kernel too - http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-1607-1/ [20:11] <[twisti]> whats the proper way to start a custom program in ubuntu lts 12 server ? note that im not asking for *a* way to start something, i know plenty, but what way am i SUPPOSED to start stuff ? [20:12] depends on whats its doing. [20:12] [twisti]: you mean automatically, at boot? What sort of program? [20:12] for a service. make a upstart job [20:13] <[twisti]> at boot, yes. znc. i figured id make a script to start and stop it and put that in init.d, is that the proper way ? [20:13] ciaooo [20:13] !list [20:13] gobromy: 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 ». [20:13] hmmm [20:13] <[twisti]> dr_willis: upstart job ? znc runs as a daemon so its kind of a service i suppose [20:13] [twisti]: as your user? [20:13] the znc faq i belive mention using cron to keep it running [20:13] <[twisti]> as a special user [20:13] yes dr_willis [20:14] i just ssh in and start it as my user. === kris_ is now known as Guest46678 [20:14] [twisti]: as dr_willis says, the znc wiki suggests just using the user's crontab [20:14] <[twisti]> that seems like a strange and ineffective way to start a service [20:15] it just checks if its running. restarts if it died [20:15] i recall. [20:15] [twisti]: it's what znc recommends :) If you really want to create a proper service, use upstart I suppose [20:15] Hello! I went to the IRC after 12 years! : D reminded of the old days ... and it went through Linux here :) [20:16] dr_willis: iirc it just keeps trying to start it but znc is designed not to start another instance if one is already runnig [20:16] i dont know if upstart will restart znc if it dies unexpectedly .. [20:16] <[twisti]> alright, i think im going to go with that then, the cron 'solution' seems incredibly hacky to me [20:16] Guest46678: welcome! Do you have an ubuntu support question? [20:16] <[twisti]> and znc has never died on me in years of usage, im willing to take the risk of it not restarting on its own [20:16] <_Trullo> sudo mount -t aufs , this seems to work aswell [20:17] !upstart | [twisti] [20:17] [twisti]: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [20:17] look into upstart then [twisti] [20:17] [twisti]: read the cookbook there [20:17] Thank you. I have no questions. All clear :) [20:17] <[twisti]> thanks [20:17] or start it from rc.local [20:18] the znc admin feature can close znc. not sure if it can restart it.. :-) [20:19] quit [20:22] somsip, today I decided to try out 10.04 ubuntu [20:22] meh [20:22] sorry somsip, accidently presseed tab :( [20:22] so, today I decided to try out 10.04 ubuntu [20:23] have to say [20:23] fglrx seems faster for games [20:23] !enter | rymate1234 [20:23] rymate1234: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [20:23] Ok, I won't [20:23] <[twisti]> upstart has the respawn flag, so i think im good even if it somehow ends [20:24] So, is there a way to make the graphics preformance for 12.04 the same as 10.04? [20:24] It just seems better on 10.04 for me. No idea why :( [20:24] rymate1234, use 'gnome-panel' (gnome classic) session instead of unity/gnome3/compiz [20:25] other than that, newer drivers should have better, not worse, performance :P [20:25] well [20:25] I have an AMD card [20:25] 4250 [20:25] i got 6870 and i don't really notice any difference with any desktop in performance regarding games [20:26] hmm [20:26] guys, where do I get inforamtion updates about the shambles that is the firefox 16 update that has been recalled by mozilla for security reasons but not by canonical? [20:27] if I was to straight upgrade from 10.04, do i retain gnome 2? [20:27] no [20:27] how does canonical usually communicate to its communicate these concerns and how to mitigate them ? [20:27] ok [20:28] hal: http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/ ? [20:29] nonical [20:30] beandog: firefox 16 has been totally pulled by mozilla. But the advice in that canonical/ubuntu alert is to install version 16 :/ [20:30] hal: it was fixed 6 hours ago [20:31] version 16 is still in the repo too, so there is no easy way to uninstall 16 and reinstall 15 [20:31] 16 itself fixes 14 security holes iirc, so it's still recommended [20:32] likely fixed v16 will land up soon, so just relax :-) [20:32] crizis: um, :/ [20:32] hal: well I believe so anyway, the diff isn't really specific and I don't have access to the mozilla bug listed but it is 16.0.1 now [20:33] * New upstream stable release (FIREFOX_16_0_1_BUILD1) <- 16.0.1 so... i'd assume this .1 is fixed one [20:33] trism: would you mind walking me through how you worked that out, so I can do it next time? === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [20:33] bug #1065285 [20:33] Launchpad bug 1065285 in firefox (Ubuntu Precise) "Update to 16.0.1" [Undecided,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1065285 [20:33] crizis: I don't really like assumptions [20:34] hal: that's the relevant bug [20:34] yeah, firefox was updated twice this week, my latest is 16.0.1 [20:34] hal, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1065285 [20:34] can anyone direct me to an appriopraite channelf or this quesrion?

[20:39] sapharoth: i think they gonna release the patch in next time [20:39] sapharoth: ? [20:39] how convenient that you dropped by, sapharoth [20:39] sapharoth: it's fixed already, just make sure you repositories are up to date with « sudo apt-get update » and you should have firefox 16.0.1 available [20:39] jrib: ah right, ok, could you tell me how you found ticket https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1065285 ? What did you type in on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ ? [20:39] Launchpad bug 1065285 in firefox (Ubuntu Precise) "Update to 16.0.1" [Undecided,Fix released] [20:40] hal: well the way I actually found it was by doing « apt-get changelog firefox » [20:40] ahh, heh [20:40] sapharoth: 16.0.1 is in the repos since 6 minutes [20:40] what if you didn't have that - I had already removed 16, you see? [20:41] hal: changelog would still be the same I think (not actually sure). In any case you could just go to the firefox package in launchpad and look at existing bugs [20:41] with that ticket, what is the project that should be searched? is it firefox? [20:41] i have dual monitor setup some flash videos take the resolution of both monitors is there a way to tell it the monitors resolution like 0, 1280, 1024 [20:42] yeh thanks jrib.

[20:45] wanksta: There is no such software. Splitters are hardware. [20:46] if i copy something into the public html folder in my home it will not allow apache to display it until i set permissions on everything inside the public html folder [20:46] is there a way so that i can copy there file that can be automaticaly viewed without setting permissions all the time? [20:46] bekks, so how can i read incoming msg and accepting calls [20:46] luist: you need to set DISPLAY. If you know BBB's password you can just use 'su -c' (no sudo). If you don't know the password, then use sudo -u [20:47] puddle: umm, what user are you copying it as? [20:47] wanksta: That has nothing to do with a splitter. Thats just what an asterisk server does. :) [20:47] well i got a seperate directory where i develop websites and im copying content from there into public html to see it live [20:47] but it will only show after i set permissions on those filed copied [20:48] i am copying it as my own username [20:48] puddle: pastebin what you do exactly; it will be easier === gartral|Away is now known as gartral [20:49] jrib: im using sudo to not need a password… thats configured in the sudoers [20:49] im using dolphin to copy files from /home/username/webdev to /home/username/public_html and im logged in as username [20:49] jrib, thats all i do [20:49] luist: that's fine, try something like: sudo -u USER DISPLAY=:0 gedit (or something) [20:50] bekks, when am in windows there are softwares for which enable to connect the broadband modem and through the same can accepting incoming can and reading new msgs [20:50] puddle: « ls -ld /home/username/webdev/some-example-file-here » and « ls -ld /home/username/public_html/some-example-file » after you copy it [20:51] ok [20:51] sec [20:51] jrib: I prefer using sux for X11 stuff as root. [20:51] or any other user, I guess. [20:51] "wrapper around su which will transfer your X credentials" [20:52] beandog: wasn't aware of that. luist see beandog's suggestion [20:52] jrib: i just checked and the display variable is the same for both users… it seems to be set alreadu [20:52] ill try sux [20:54] luist: you probably have to mess with xauth (and I'm guessing sux does that for you) [20:56] jrib, http://pastebin.com/9mGL1uqp [20:56] commented it kinda [20:56] I installed Ubuntu 12.04 to a USB key with a program called YUMI. Is there any way I can download files to the USB key? [20:57] puddle: wait, why do you need the file to be world-writable? [20:57] because the cms will not show otherwise dunno why [20:57] on shared hosting works fine [20:57] I need write access to the usb key. === santegoeds is now known as tdc [20:57] on local it will not work [20:57] puddle: are you setting up yii? [20:57] bekks, when am in windows there are softwares for which enable to connect the broadband modem and through the same can accepting incoming can and reading new msgs [20:57] well trying yea [20:58] beandog, yup but doesnt seem to work like i want it to [20:58] sec [20:58] Hi I've a question installing php-fpm... I installed apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-fpm libapache2-mod-fastcgi, but apache2 gives an error saying /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php5-fcgi is not found [20:58] anybody here tried to run 32bit java icedtea plugin on Firefox 64bit? [20:58] puddle: did you already run yiic install ? [20:58] wanksta: Well, I am not using windows for 1 years now. [20:58] 10 years even. [20:58] and /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php5-fcgi is indeed missing [20:58] on windows i generated a test app weeks ago [20:59] any ideas? [20:59] thats what im using here [20:59] nyxynyx: it's probably at /usr/bin/php-cgi [20:59] the problem is that if i copy to public html apache has problems with permissions [21:00] puddle: public_html in your home directory? [21:00] yup [21:00] puddle: can you put it somewhere else? [21:00] it works fine on single file php [21:00] puddle: I mean, can you configure it so you can put it somewhere else [21:01] erm id like to have it in my home to be honest [21:01] puddle: yii is really picky if the perms aren't right [21:01] anybody? Help I need write access to a fat32 usb key!!! HELP! [21:01] weah i see but still [21:01] puddle: sec [21:01] beandog: nope its not there... i did a locate php5-fcgi and noting [21:01] even apache wont show stuff if i dont set permission [21:02] puddle: are you running PHP as a module or a CGI binary [21:02] i want to be able to copy whatever i want to public_html and be able to see it in browser without being forced to set permissions every time [21:02] nyxynyx: which php-cgi [21:02] erm i installed lamp through tasksel [21:02] ive no idea [21:02] honestlyx [21:02] puddle: okay, no worries [21:02] reed: are you using a 32bit version of firefox? why? [21:02] puddle: do you mean browse as in see a directory index or what? [21:03] beandog: I am following the instructions here (http://www.howtoforge.com/using-php5-fpm-with-apache2-on-ubuntu-12.04-lts) and in step 5, there is this line Alias /php5-fcgi /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php5-fcgi [21:03] does html5 works good on ubuntu? [21:03] zykotick9, need to use webex, doesn't support 64bit java [21:03] zykotick9, using 64bit firefox [21:03] reed: well good luck. [21:04] puddle: pm? [21:04] well public_html is empty -> i copy the whole webapp into it -> apache gona report i dont have permission to access 6 -> i set permission but others get only read access (on subdirs aswell) -> yii reports that he has no write permission on runtime -> i set full acces for others (subdirs aswell) -> everything works fine [21:05] thats kinda all that happens [21:05] okay [21:05] so, looking at yii [21:05] certain directories need write-access from the webserver [21:05] puddle: so what you wanna do is this: [21:05] yup [21:05] chown -R www-data: /var/www/localhost/htdocs/{assets,protected/data,protected/runtime} where /var/www/localhost/htdocs is your webroot (in your case, probably /home/foo/public_html/yii/whatever .... ) [21:06] puddle: you don't need world writeable, just web server writable [21:06] ow [21:06] hi guys, I have a small problem. I have a little Eee PC asus laptop. It's running ubuntu 12.04, I hate the unity interface. So I installed kubuntu using synaptic package manager, it's worst! I just want the stable version of kubuntu with the start menu, where can I get this? remember this pc has no CD or DVD drive. [21:06] it's has to be done via terminal or download [21:07] but is it possibble to set permission so i never have to again even if i copy some other app there or i have to do this every time? [21:07] puddle: No. [21:08] puddle: Just use a little script, or just develop your files directly in public_html. [21:08] well ty for the help anyways:P [21:08] thats the only thing i miss from unsecure windows:d [21:08] had no issues with things like that:p [21:09] btw if i set www-data as owner of the dir [21:09] Did anybody see my post or am I screwed? [21:09] puddle: yah its possible [21:09] i wont be able to delete them until i set myself as owner again [21:09] puddle: you can set sticky group permissions [21:09] thats kinda complicated [21:09] hello i need assistance figuring out how to connect to windows terminal server using ubuntu 12 please [21:09] beandog: But not sticky world permissions. [21:10] whats a sticky permission? oO [21:10] sry im kinda noob in that department [21:10] puddle: Something you cant use in your case :) [21:10] remmina not working for me [21:10] hehe [21:10] puddle: sticky permissions means anything under that directory are going to retain same permissions [21:10] ows [21:10] and it cannot be done so it retains ww-data? [21:11] puddle: www-data writable is NOT world-writable [21:11] hello i need assistance figuring out how to connect to windows terminal server using ubuntu 12 please [21:11] i know [21:11] but i guess www-data writeable would be enough [21:11] CiscoNinja, good luck [21:11] IF i can write it aswell [21:11] but i guess thats the problem [21:11] puddle: Check it first :) [21:12] rymate1234, what do you mean? i can't do it ?

[21:30] ok, I can ping between ubuntu and windows, I could browse windows shares before my most recent ubuntu reboot, I have not applied any updates or made changes, i'm out of ideas :( [21:31] Hola [21:31] how to use it? [21:31] ¿Alguien me puede ayudar? [21:31] marl no habla english [21:32] how to use what? [21:32] Ubuntu? [21:32] hrr, ok, now i've got 2 ubuntu boxes, with no windows connectivity [21:33] so you have 2 ubuntu boxes? and you have windows boxes? and the windows boxes are getting no internet connectivity? [21:33] !spain | marl [21:33] marl: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. [21:34] Lasivian, what's the main issue? you have 2 ubuntu boxes with internet, but you have a windows machine that doesn't have connectivity? or are you trying to connect the windows machine to the ubuntu machines and vice versa? [21:34] Ubuntu will not even "see" my wireless network until I do Iwscan. Then suddenly it magically appears in the network manager list. And when I try to connect it tries, fails, tries, fails, nothing. Wtf? I connect to other networks fine, other computers connect to this network fine. [21:35] sounds like a driver issue [21:35] Jrix: try to change network fequency (standards, b/g/n) [21:35] Jrix, change the network's wifi frequency/standard? g is probably going to be most stable, b is old [21:36] I'm unable to interact with the network router at all. [21:36] how do i change ~# to ~$ ?? [21:36] Ex0deus: I really hate wifi drivers. [21:36] WeThePeople: ctrl + d [21:36] could you do an lspci on the command line... and paste the line that has your network card here? [21:38] TheLordOfTime, how goes the znc fix over at trekweb ? [21:38] TheLordOfTime: 2 ubuntu boxes, different versions, neither can browse to the "windows network" but they can ping the windows boxes, and the windows boxes can browse the shared directories on the ubuntu boxes [21:38] BluesKaj, trekweb has a channel you know :/ [21:38] atlantic777, that just exits terminal [21:38] Lasivian: do you have samba installed [21:38] i'm almost thinking this is windows screwing something up, but i'm not sure what [21:39] TheLordOfTime, yeah ok , understood :) [21:39] Ex0deus: yes, these both previously were able to browse, nothing has been updated or changed since then [21:39] Lasivian: browsing network shares and pinging a box are two completely differen network aspects [21:39] beandog: yeah wifi drivers can be tricky in linux [21:39] beandog: yes, i'm just throwing out info [21:39] oh okay [21:39] if i want to boot ubuntu and android from a flash drive to i have to make a separate partition on the flash drive for each one? [21:39] Lasivian: personally I just use gigolo [21:39] TheLordOfTime: It's connecting at G or N, based on its transfer rate limit. [21:39] ok so everything was working? and its not now? [21:40] Ex0deus: right [21:40] have you tried this on the command line? sudo service networking restart [21:40] Is the standard ubuntu desktop install-cd the same as the ubuntu livd-cd? [21:40] or you could do ... /etc/init.d/networking restart [21:41] the second one worked, broiwsing [21:41] tox2ik, they're about the same. the desktop iso can double as a livecd [21:41] tox2ik, the end result for a basic installation, though, is the same. [21:41] hey [21:41] tox2ik, for installation purposes. [21:41] WeThePeople, I would wonder if you need to be in ~# [21:41] still times out, "did not receive a reply" [21:41] I see no reason to assume the ubuntu boxes are not trying to find the windows, it's like windows is not answering [21:42] wilee-nilee, i am on BT5 atm [21:42] Lasivian: well it is possible they're not allowing sharing or they are firewalled. How are you listing avialable shares? [21:42] but, I should get at least one windows box showing up, there are 6 on the network [21:42] WeThePeople, This is not the channel for that. [21:42] wilee-nilee, still works the same [21:42] beandog: i'm just browsing in nautilus, clicking on "windows network" [21:42] WeThePeople, respect the rules this is ubuntu support, have a taste of ethics for just a moment. [21:43] Lasivian: I'd recommend trying gigolo to browse [21:43] Lasivian: but whatever. they both should work [21:43] gigolo is pretty nice :) [21:43] installing that now [21:43] and welcome to a lifetime of ignore [21:43] Ex0deus: agreed. such a headache saver. [21:43] no :) [21:43] yeah i just started playing around with gigolo on my new server... [21:43] one of the ubuntu boxes is 12.04, the other is 10.10 [21:44] Lasivian, the 10.10 box is EOL... [21:44] TheLordOfTime: ok, thank you. Is it problematic to install a few packages to a ram-fs while booted with the desktop installation iso? [21:44] !10.10 | Lasivian [21:44] Lasivian: Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) was the thirteenth release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on April 10th, 2012, see http://ubottu.com/y/maverick for details. [21:44] was originally not going to have a desktop env. but decided to run with xfce [21:44] tox2ik, in a live environment? [21:44] tox2ik, it won't save in the live environment, but it will install said package [21:44] gigolo worked [21:44] gigolo to the rescue again! [21:45] good [21:45] tox2ik, but, when you shut down and reboot any packages you had installed won't be there until you install them again [21:45] TheLordOfTime: yes, i'm waiting for 12.10 to upgrade it, i'm just using it as a test example. [21:45] hello, i have ubuntu 12.04 and whne i use skype 4 and the other person video starts the session crash and restart itself. what i can i do to solve this problem? any suggestion? I have deleted the folder.skype, i have reinstalled skype, i don't know more what to do.. thank you [21:45] 12.10 server? [21:45] the idea that an ubuntu software error would affect both machines seems impossible [21:45] Lasivian, there is no direct 10.10 -> 12.10 upgrade path... [21:45] !12.10 [21:45] Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) will be the 17th release of Ubuntu, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 [21:45] i think ubuntu is on 14.04 now [21:45] Lasivian, there's only an LTS -> LTS direct upgrade path. [21:45] TheLordOfTime: well, crap :) [21:45] Ex0deus, nope. 12.04 is the latest release, 12.10 comes out soon. [21:46] hrrm, I thought *.10 were the LTS.. [21:46] no clue on an exact date, so if anyone asks, they end. [21:46] TheLordOfTime: thats fine, I just need to install something temporarily. To I need to configure apt-get or anything else to make this work? [21:46] perhaps, I was mistaken :) [21:46] Lasivian, 10.04, 12.04, and if i'm right, 14.04 will be LTSes [21:46] no the *.04's are the LTS releases [21:46] !LTS [21:46] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) [21:46] I see, guess I need to just change that machine to 12.04 [21:46] 5 years on the desktop. That's pretty bold. [21:46] Ex0deus, not all *.04s are LTSes. [21:47] and i'm betting there is no upgrade path to do such a thing, heh [21:47] !eol [21:47] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [21:47] back in awhile :) [21:48] Ex0deus, generally, you can approximate by every 2 years. i.e. 2 years after the last LTS (10.04 was April 2010, 12.04 is April 2012, so by approximation unless something changes, 14.04 is probably the next LTS) [21:49] is there any easy way to go from a .10 install to a .04? [21:49] Lasivian, look above at the ubotto comment on eol. [21:49] ubottu* [21:50] yeah, the EOL upgrade link stops at 9.10 [21:50] Lasivian: and you really should specify complete versions ".10" and ".04" alone are vague [21:50] jrib: dammit, stop pointing out my flawed statements! :) [21:51] what should I do with 10.10, I can erase it, but i've made multiple edits [21:51] Hi! Need help getting wifi on toshiba laptop running Xubuntu12.04 [21:51] Lasivian, do me a favor please: don't fling around swear words such as 'damn' that often please. thanks :) [21:51] Lasivian, you can upgrade to 11.04 directly [21:51] that's still technically supported until Q releases [21:51] Lasivian, then from there, upgrade to 11.10 [21:51] which is actually still supported [21:51] TheLordOfTime: thank you for the answer, im off! [21:51] and if you want, from there to 12.04. [21:51] which is an LTS [21:52] ... and the current Ubuntu release :) [21:52] so, 3 upgrades [21:52] that sounds, painful, heh [21:52] Lasivian, Try reading this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades the upgrade will have to be a eol upgrade TheLordOfTime [21:52] wilee-nilee, or he can back up his data and clean install 12.04 [21:52] :p0 [21:52] :P * [21:53] TheLordOfTime, That is not the issue you addressed, you said a direct upgrade to 11.04 that needs to be a eol. [21:53] wilee-nilee, did 11.04 finally EOL? [21:53] Could someone help me get wifi working on my laptop w ubuntu 12.04 [21:53] last i checked with the release team, they hadnt yet vaped those repos [21:54] TheLordOfTime, 10.10 is it has to be a eol upgrade. [21:54] wilee-nilee, ah. wait, you can't go from EOL -> nonEOL yet? [21:54] without following a strange procedure? [21:55] You should be able to update one thats EOL. but youmay need to tweak your sources.list [21:56] once one goes EOL you have to change the sources.list to point to those archive servers i belive to do any updates.. [21:56] TheLordOfTime, All eols have to be upgraded with a eol upgrade, 11.04 is eol in oct as well.

[22:41] no :( [22:41] Ubuntu 10.10 is not supported here [22:41] stupid windows 8 can't compile anything, even with mingw I get gcc errors when trying to install some python module [22:42] I'm gonna hve to nuke it and go back to main-booting ubuntu [22:42] jcrza, that is windows [22:42] I wish they'd coexist [22:42] no you dont [22:42] Oh?

[23:05] jcrza lsb_release -sd [23:05] why not just download the pastebinit.py script? its the samething thats in the .deb file. except apt-get installs the pymods if they dont exist. [23:05] Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS [23:05] VanZan yumi is a windows thingy [23:06] VanZan: it should be formated to fat32 normally. you can still use any space on it to save things. unless the installer made a persistant home/save file. then it should let you save to it also under the ubuntu os. [23:06] jcrza, are you on live cd ? [23:06] it is formatted to fat32 but i can't save anything to it. [23:06] Yes, a liveusb to be exact [23:06] Using terminal, is it possible to launch a GUI program and have the terminal close, but keep the GUI program open? [23:06] you may need to mount it by hand with the right options. [23:06] Hi everyone. Why does my headless Ubuntu 12.04 stays on resolution of 800*600? I can't change it anywhere. I even tried different resolution values in my VNC client/server but with no luck! [23:07] jcrza, cool run this command in terminal and PASTEBIN the output [23:07] i have it mounted mate but still no joy....driving me mad. [23:07] fishscene: try 'theguicommand &' then the 'exit' command. NOT the close button. [23:07] jcrza, sudo fdisk -l [23:07] VanZan: mounted how exactly? can root write to it? [23:07] bobweaver: still no go [23:07] GNS3Talk: what vncserver are you using? [23:07] where can i place custom icons themes? ~/.icons ??

[23:08] ubuntu-studio, what is version what is arch [23:08] dr_willis: The standard vino-server. I tried x11vnc but with no luck either. [23:08] bobweaver: http://pastebin.com/2FfjW2z1 [23:08] dr_willis: what is the command i should use please? [23:08] jcrza, open gparted and take a screen shot of UBUNTU hdd [23:08] GNS3Talk: if its headless theres no need to 'share the current visible desktop' thats how vino and x11vncserver work.. use a normal vnc server like 'tightvnc' [23:09] phiscribe no chance, 12.10 has 2.8 [23:09] nuts [23:09] VanZan: perhaps 'sudo touch /whatever/the/path/is/to/the/usb/testfile' [23:09] dr_willis: I will give tightvnc a go. Thanks. [23:09] jcrza, we need to know the partition # and what nnot to give you command then you can chroot the stuff [23:10] so use an evil ppa or tose LTS to the side, uggg [23:10] dr_willis: did that mate and nothing happened? [23:10] GNS3Talk: vnc does not need to share the current visible desktop on linux. ;) unlike how it works on windows. You can have a dozen vnc 'hidden' desktops you connect to with just vnc clients. [23:10] doh.. I'm a moron. I forgot to plug it in.. good thing I have hotplugging enabled. Will ubuntu be okay with that or will I need to reboot? [23:10] VanZan: look on the flash and see if the file is there.. [23:10] bobweaver: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1274030/ [23:11] dr_willis: It's not there! [23:11] dr_willis: That works... kind of. I saved your command as a text file (so users can just double-click it.... on double-click, terminal opens, then closes. GUI program does not launch. If I run the same file within the terminal, the GUI launches, but I still have to manually close the terminal (also, the GUI stays open :D ). [23:11] VanZan: what was the exact command you used? [23:11] well, if I magically get knocked off you know ubuntu didn't like me hotplugging [23:11] bobweaver: i'm on ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64bit [23:11] dr_willis: sudo touch /cdrom/download [23:11] fishscene: what app? [23:11] VanZan: its very possible that /cdrom/ is mounted read only. the mount command may show you. [23:12] dr_willis: There seems to be only Windows version of tighvnc. The other one is Java based! Which one do you use? Is installation straight forward? [23:12] dr_willis: vlc [23:12] GNS3Talk: the tightvnc server is in the repos. [23:12] ubuntu-studio, what ppa do you have ? ? [23:12] ugh, think I have to reboot [23:12] brb === theplanet is now known as elixey [23:12] dr_willis: Can you tell me the full mount command please? I'm sorry I'm a complete Linux noob! [23:12] GNS3Talk: vnc servers often have a java 'feature' where you can connect to them from a web browser. [23:12] !mount | VanZan [23:12] VanZan: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [23:13] bobweaver: none, i'm using only Ubuntu Universe and metaverse [23:13] huh [23:13] VanZan: just 'mount' shows whats mounted where [23:13] dr_willis: Gotchya. Downloading it now from the repo :) [23:13] VanZan sudo mount /dev/blah some_folder_you_created [23:13] ubuntu-studio, when was the last time you updated ? [23:14] dr_willis: /dev/sdb1 on /cdrom type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro) [23:14] GNS3Talk: if the server is on the same local lan, you may want to check out the xdmcp/x forwareding features of SSH instead of running a whole vnc session. [23:14] bobweaver: well.. i forgot to mention that i'm currently on a live USB [23:14] enable the repos then ubuntu-studio [23:14] VanZan: so do a 'cd /cdrom' and see what files are therel. see if you can make a file. it seems to be mounted RW. [23:14] partners [23:14] that is [23:15] dr_willis: I'm fairly new to Linux so I can't really understand what you just mentioned above lol.. [23:15] dr_willis: it says "permission denied" [23:15] dr_willis: How do I start tightvncserver, and how can I configure it? Where is the config file located at? [23:15] GNS3Talk: differnt ways to have remote apps.. if you have more then 1 linux/ubuntu machine on the lan. learning ssh is worth the time. [23:16] bobweaver: they are enabled === f00dM0nsta is now known as f00dMonsta [23:16] GNS3Talk: run vncserver, then it puts files in .vnc you can alter . check its docs/man pages also. basically you run it. it gives the desktop #, you connect with a client. [23:16] i knwo there is a command that will get dpkg to list all the packages currently installed but i dont know what this is outputted as, is it a script that can be run on other machines and used to install the packages within it? or is it just a list of packages. and most importantly can this dpkg command be used to make a list for A CERTAIN DATE OF INSTALLS [23:16] GNS3Talk, like he said before it is much safer to do ssh then portforward and start vnc [23:16] GNS3Talk: is this over the internet? or a local lan? [23:16] shutting dow to do something else [23:16] !ssh vnc [23:17] bobweaver: http://imgur.com/Tv2Ee [23:17] dr_willis: LAN [23:17] GNS3Talk: what is the OS of the other machiunes on the lan? [23:17] Mac OS X trying to access Ubuntu server. [23:18] jcrza, oHH I see they are on differnt hardrives ? [23:18] dr_willis: Don't give up on me mate!!! :) [23:18] GNS3Talk: there may be ways to do X forwarding to the MAC that would let you run single apps and have them appear locally on the mac. [23:18] Yeah, sorry if I wasn't clear [23:18] VanZan: remount it with the correct options would be my suggestion. [23:18] but you're right, it's grub being messed up or missing when I installed windows 8 to my SSD [23:18] when I try to boot this drive directly it says "missing grub" [23:18] VanZan: you did try makign the file as root? or a user? [23:18] dr_willis: as a user [23:19] VanZan: so try as root with sudo again... [23:19] I see that jcrza lets mount the correct drive and install grub to it ? what is / drive though ? [23:20] /dev/sdc is where I want ubuntu/have a mangled installation that can't boot [23:20] "/" referres to your system root. Kind of like how C:\ is the typical Windows root. [23:20] looks like sdc6 should be jcrza [23:20] dr_willis:It worked! I made a directory (I don't know how to create a file!) [23:21] nano this [23:21] then save you just created a file [23:21] or touch [23:21] VanZan type nano blah, type something in it and save it [23:21] bobweaver: cheers! === cesar is now known as Guest60097 [23:23] It worked! Nano created a file! [23:23] Nano? [23:23] but how do i save to it without using a terminal? [23:23] he made a blank file.. congratulations [23:23] lol thanks [23:24] bobweaver: So how do I get started with this? I don't know how to repair grub [23:24] VanZan time for human sacrifice to thank the linux deities! [23:24] VanZan, now use touch touch ~/Desktop/this_is [23:24] jcrza, use the boot repair iso :) [23:24] yes! [23:24] jagginess: I'm scared! [23:24] jcrza, http://sourceforge.net/projects/boot-repair-cd/ [23:25] jcrza, jagginess hit the nail on the hammer or is it the other way around [23:25] yup "touch" worked as well. [23:25] sorry I was off doing TV stuff [23:25] VanZan, there is also vim [23:25] =) I'll give it a go. Thanks guys. back to windoze to make my boot-repair usb [23:25] emachs ect [23:26] jcrza, backing up is never a bad idea [23:26] bobweaver: Yes but how can I save files to the usb key outside of a terminal mate? [23:26] bobweaver, thought you said "gf" came home... now you're going your TV lol.. (whatttttt??? can i be delusional lol-- that's what i'm reading here on irc) [23:26] lol [23:26] do i need to login as root?

I meant I had been getting assistance from dr_willis.... [23:29] VanZan, meaning that dr_willis is super cool ! [23:30] ahh I see [23:30] cool VanZan [23:30] helping the wife.. i will be back laters ;P [23:30] i give up [23:30] but I am still unsure what you are talking about with root and what not all I know about root is well a real lot but there is this [23:30] !root [23:30] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password.

[23:33] Hello, nautilus is the only way i know how to install fonts, but it failed to install a pcf font, and im not sure how else to do it [23:34] VanZan: Sounds like the permissions aren't set correctly. Standby... [23:34] dr_willis: Do you know where I can find the config file? the 'man' command doesn't really show where it is. [23:34] VanZan, what is the USERS name of the USB ? [23:34] bobweaver: pardon? [23:34] lol sorry guys! [23:34] GNS3Talk: in the users .vnc directory [23:34] dr_willis: Is it the .log or .pid file? [23:35] VanZan, there are many reason why one would not be able to read write or run a file or anything for that matter. the bot will tell you more [23:35] I don't understand what you mean by "USERS" [23:35] !permissions | VanZan [23:35] VanZan: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [23:35] !users | VanZan [23:35] VanZan: To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo [23:36] er [23:36] I am trying to run a ruby (unicorn) service using chpst, like this https://gist.github.com/312c3daa6062fee661f8 I want bundle exec to run under a specific rvm/gemset for the user. How do I load the environment for that user in the context of that command? [23:36] bobweaver: Thanks! [23:36] that is not what I thougt bot would say about users [23:36] bobweaver: I noticed in his mount, he has "fmask=0022,dmask=0022" Would those be the mount permissions for accessing the device? [23:37] VanZan, in other words make sure that the "users" have PERMISSION to do what you are trying to do [23:37] type "groups" , there's a list of group memberships for a user.. (can do as superroot, or gretp username from /etc/group) [23:37] (groups as superuser may list groups for that user) [23:37] +1 jagginess [23:38] orcbuntu hosting: http://orcs.biz [23:38] I typed "groups" and got the following: [23:38] this adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare [23:40] " bobweaver: Yes but how can I save files to the usb key outside of a terminal mate?"
