| ac_slater | Hey guys, is there a hook into apt for certain packages? ie - I want to rebuild my nvidia modules after each kernel release. And I have to use the official nvidia package for CUDA. | 01:17 |
| ac_slater | nvm, /etc/kernel/postinst.d/ | 01:19 |
| jrib | ac_slater: you probably want to use dkms though? | 01:19 |
| L3top | +1 | 01:19 |
| === etanolski is now known as Etanolski | ||
| ac_slater | jrib: right. But is that possible with the nvidia installer from their site? | 01:19 |
| ac_slater | ( i know what DKMS is, but not how to really MAKE it work without things that already support it) | 01:20 |
| jrib | ac_slater: should be afaik | 01:20 |
| ac_slater | right, scripting the rebuilding of the nvidia module is simple to do though. | 01:20 |
| ac_slater | jrib: i would love dkms, but I have no idea if it's a pubsub thing or if there is some serious effort that needs to be put into my modules to make them dkms-able | 01:21 |
| jrib | ac_slater: I'm not familiar with the details | 01:21 |
| L3top | yes ac_slater. You just need to build dkms into the kernel... repo kernels this is achieved with linux-headers-xxxx in addition to linux-kernel-xxxx | 01:22 |
| ac_slater | L3top: right. wouldnt it need to module source to do this though? | 01:22 |
| L3top | The installer from nvidia survives dkms. | 01:23 |

| gogeta | red98: wired is normaly set to auto and does not come up uless its nor working | 02:16 |
| gogeta | not | 02:17 |
| gogeta | red98: i would go into the network manager make shure its not set up to still be a server | 02:17 |
| red98 | Under connections there is no auto which i normally have and whrn i create a connection with dhcp and manual dosent work | 02:18 |

| scott__ | Dual monitors are not showing up in Display Settings, instead it's one big monitor at 3000px. Is there a way to fix this? | 02:19 |
| gogeta | red98: could be a bad disk if it worked before and not now | 02:19 |
| gogeta | red98: thats way its always a good idea to md5em | 02:19 |
| L3top | scott__: I would need to see your xorg.conf | 02:20 |
| gogeta | red98: also if you hibernated windows your nic will not work | 02:20 |
| b0agn | red98: look in oyur /etc/network/interfaces file and see if there's anything set for your wired interface | 02:20 |
| scott__ | I didn't think Ubuntu 12.04 used Xorg? | 02:20 |
| red98 | All setting removed | 02:20 |

| scott__ | Oh. | 02:21 |
| scott__ | I dunno. Linux is confusing anyway. | 02:21 |
| red98 | It might be a bad disc cause i re downloaded and burnt a new one when i started having the problems | 02:21 |
| b0agn | red98: you need to at least have the loopback listed in your interfaces file. | 02:21 |
| gogeta | red98: md5 it you will knoe | 02:21 |
| red98 | I have lo and eth0 | 02:22 |

| L3top | Again... you would have to umount everything you mounted and bound. Just reboot to the drive | 02:24 |

| L3top | scott__: It does not by default, but for things like dual monitors, it does generally... what is the gpu and driver... and see if you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf and if so, pastebin it | 02:25 |
| WeThePeople | l3top, i would like to umount and unbind everything before i reboot | 02:25 |

| maliubiao | hello , guys , is there a way to delete a software that compiled from source code? | 02:53 |
| graingert | maliubiao: if you ran a make script as root | 02:53 |
| graingert | maliubiao: no way of reversing it | 02:53 |
| zykotick9 | maliubiao: that's why installing for source isn't such a great idea... | 02:54 |
| graingert | maliubiao: please use the package manager only | 02:54 |
| maliubiao | thank you . | 02:54 |
| graingert | maliubiao: the script could do anything | 02:54 |
| graingert | eg rm -rf / | 02:54 |
| zykotick9 | maliubiao: see if there is a "make uninstall" or similar. see the readme if there is one | 02:54 |
| graingert | but even the make uninstall could be dodgy | 02:55 |

| IngElias | hey guys I have a problem, I have ubuntu 11.10 with xfce-desktop. When I open any carpet desktop is changed to Unity, any idea? | 02:56 |
| * zykotick9 wonders what a "carpet desktop" is, but assumes it's part of unity | 02:57 | |
| gtristan | how do I get RID of the annoying SEARCH BAR that ruthlessly decides to POPUP on its own every time I hit the damn ALT !? | 02:58 |
| gtristan | apt-get uninstall tracker-gui ?? | 02:58 |
| gtristan | grrr, seems not... | 02:58 |
| IngElias | For example, I open the file administrator and then desktop is changed | 02:59 |
| IngElias | the file manager | 02:59 |
| bjrohan | I have Ubuntu on a machine already, I want to do a fresh install of Lubuntu from a USB drive that I have, the issue is that the bios doesn't have boot from USB capabilities. Is there a way I can do a fresh install from within ubuntu? | 03:00 |
| zykotick9 | IngElias: i'd GUESS you're trying to launch "nautilus" which will probably spawn the entire desktop without the correct switch. | 03:00 |
| milardovich | zykotick9, I think IngElias has XFCE installed in his machine | 03:01 |
| milardovich | So I think it is a Thunar problem | 03:01 |
| IngElias | I think I'm not explaining well, here is again: When I log on my XFCE session and I try to open any folder, then the theme changes automatically to the default theme. I think it's a problem of my file manager | 03:01 |
| zykotick9 | milardovich: i agree. that's why starting just "nautilus" will try to start gnome3/etc | 03:01 |
| penguinman | gtristan, that's the HUD. you can change the keyboard shortcut for that in system settings | 03:01 |
| zykotick9 | IngElias: is it thunar or nautilus you're using as a file manager? | 03:02 |
| LABcrab | Hey people! i have many errors on my hard drive. How do i know if it's still good? | 03:02 |
| zykotick9 | LABcrab: if it's a hardware issue, i'd ask in ##hardware | 03:03 |
| jayar | LABcrab: check it with the disk utility | 03:03 |
| IngElias | nautilus | 03:04 |

| LABcrab | Thanks, good night! | 03:04 |
| WACOMalt | in the form of PCH [plughw:0,0] ect ect | 03:05 |
| zykotick9 | IngElias: there is some switch, check "man nautilus", to start ONLY the file manager, and NOT the entire desktop. | 03:05 |

| steveGODSchild | hi I need some help | 03:06 |
| gtristan | seems ubuntu 12.04 does not have that option in system settings | 03:06 |
| milardovich | zykotick9, IngElias tried to explain his problem some minutes ago, and I haven't got a clue about what can be happening, but I will try to paraphrase so maybe we can throw some light on this: | 03:07 |
| steveGODSchild | I got my cd to play music in ububtu 12.04 | 03:07 |
| zykotick9 | b0agn: lol, if i programmed maybe i could ;) probably have to be a pretty good programmer at that ;) i'm no help there. | 03:07 |
| penguinman | gtristan, try searching for keyboard in the dash. should bring up the shortcut editor. i'm using dwm at the moment but when i'm in unity mine is set to alt-x | 03:07 |
| WACOMalt | milardovich, hmm that gave me only two devices, wheras java is seeing 11 | 03:07 |
| steveGODSchild | but now the music sounds like crap | 03:07 |
| Ex0deus | ello | 03:07 |
| penguinman | gtristan, the hud i mean is set to alt-x | 03:08 |
| WACOMalt | milardovich, any idea how I can choose the proper value from this java output: http://www.blindmanstudio.com/dropbox/Selection_001.png to correspond to what device my computer uses by default? | 03:08 |
| milardovich | zykotick9, he has a custom theme on his XFCE desktop (he has both GNOME AND XFCE). When he uses GNOME, Nautilus works properly, but when he tries to run Nautilus on XFCE the theme changes suddenly to the default xubuntu-desktop theme | 03:08 |
| gtristan | penguinman, ah found a utility called 'keyboard'... thanks for your help man | 03:08 |

| zykotick9 | b0agn: gtk = i'm not interested. i'm looking for a cli wireless app, thus wicd-curses (with no Desktop Manager installed). | 03:09 |
| milardovich | WACOMalt, so just use lspci | 03:09 |
| steveGODSchild | could it be the cd rom needs cleaned | 03:09 |
| milardovich | without the | grep part | 03:09 |
| b0agn | zykotick9: there are tools besides wicd for that. | 03:10 |

| WACOMalt | ok | 03:12 |
| WACOMalt | port is CPU ports | 03:13 |
| zykotick9 | milardovich: sidenote, i'd recommend suggesting "... | grep -i foo" incase the reciever doesn't realise case matters! | 03:13 |

| zykotick9 | i before e, except after c ;) | 03:14 |

| WACOMalt | in a sh script what character tells it to skip a space? or not consider it the end of a command? | 03:39 |

I tried manual partitioning, same thing. What could be wrong? HDD is 1TB maybe /boot is out of the boot sector? | 04:38 |
| penguinman | doesn't really matter since /boot is just stage 2 of grub. | 04:40 |

| home | someone teach me how to transfer files from my Windows computer to my Linux computer via SSH | 05:07 |
| lotuspsychje | !ssh | home | 05:08 |
| ubottu | home: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 05:08 |
| home | Xubuntu, in this case | 05:08 |
| blackshirt | !scp | 05:08 |
| ubottu | scp is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ | 05:08 |
| home | lotuspsychje, I want you to guide me, step by step | 05:08 |
| ElixirVitae | !botsnack | 05:08 |

| penguinman | lotuspsychje, keep in mind rhythmbox has it as a dep so on next update it may be reinstalled. may want to pull rhythmbox as well | 05:08 |
| lotuspsychje | home:the url cant be more precise.read up mate | 05:08 |
| lotuspsychje | penguinman:tnx mate i dont use rythmbox, will it have no conflict with dash search? | 05:09 |
| home | for example, Let's say that I have a file located at C:\Users\Awesome\My Documents\xx.png | 05:09 |
| home | How would I transfer that via scp | 05:09 |
| home | or ssh? | 05:09 |
| home | to my xubuntu box? at its document folder? | 05:09 |
| RiXtEr | home, scp uses the ssh protocol | 05:09 |
| home | okay | 05:09 |
| RiXtEr | home, download winscp | 05:09 |
| penguinman | may cause problems with the media search lens. honestly i use dwm so i can't tell you for 100% | 05:09 |
| home | RiXtEr, can I use Putty? | 05:10 |
| lotuspsychje | penguinman:ill find out quickly when i reboot :p | 05:10 |
| RiXtEr | home, not for file transfers as far as I know | 05:10 |

| home | use libreoffice :D | 05:11 |
| Hussaind | i wanted download oppenoffice drawer | 05:11 |
| blackshirt | rixter, i think home want to use ssh protocol | 05:11 |
| Hussaind | but unable | 05:11 |
| RiXtEr | winscp does use the ssh protocol | 05:11 |
| Hussaind | im using a 32bit system | 05:11 |
| ElixirVitae | So, regarding the question business, why are some packages are kept back as I see when I apt-get upgrade, I see "linux-generic-pae linux-headers-generic-pae linux-image-generic-pae" for instance, are they updated with new release of OS or something? | 05:11 |
| * lotuspsychje sudo reboot | 05:12 | |
| home | ElixirVitae, not sure | 05:12 |
| home | hey guys | 05:12 |
| sambagirl | there is a program that you can use on boot to identify hardware | 05:12 |
| home | should I try Ubuntu again | 05:12 |
| home | or is it shitty now :/ | 05:12 |
| sambagirl | what is it called hdt? lht? | 05:12 |
| sambagirl | 0something like that? | 05:12 |
| blackshirt | sambagirl, what you mean? | 05:13 |
| RiXtEr | home, you could also download pscp from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html and use the command pscp c:\path\to\file user@ip.to.ssh.serv:/path/to save | 05:13 |
| RiXtEr | home, winscp just gives you a nice gui frontend to do the exact same thing. | 05:13 |
| home | RiXtEr, did winscp | 05:13 |
| RiXtEr | home, both use the ssh protocol | 05:13 |
| sambagirl | some distros have this utility that will identify in detail every single piece of hardware on your system | 05:13 |
| home | RiXtEr, thanks for the information though | 05:13 |
| RiXtEr | home, no problem | 05:13 |
| sambagirl | it's much much more deeper than lspci cause it is on boot | 05:13 |
| home | dmesg? | 05:14 |
| blackshirt | sambagirl, lspci for pci devices, lsusb for usb, lshw maybe you want | 05:14 |
| sambagirl | no it isnt a shell app | 05:14 |
| home | sambagirl, are you actually a girl? | 05:14 |
| home | lol | 05:14 |
| sambagirl | it's a boot up | 05:14 |
| sambagirl | i'll figure it out | 05:15 |
| sambagirl | night | 05:15 |
| RiXtEr | sambagirl, boot loader, or a startup app? | 05:15 |
| sambagirl | its a startup app | 05:15 |
| sambagirl | it's bvery very very thorough | 05:15 |
| RiXtEr | sambagirl, look in /etc/init.d | 05:15 |
| sambagirl | it's not included with ubuntu | 05:15 |
| RiXtEr | ah | 05:15 |
| sambagirl | i used it on Mageia | 05:15 |
| lotuspsychje | penguinman:it worked like a charm mate, activity-log-manager icon dissapeared correclty, no dash crash tnx again mate | 05:15 |
| sambagirl | but it is for hardware determination | 05:15 |
| sambagirl | understand? | 05:15 |
| RiXtEr | sambagirl, somewhat | 05:15 |
| RiXtEr | sambagirl, udev? | 05:16 |
| lotuspsychje | !zeitgeist > lotuspsychje | 05:16 |
| sambagirl | it's a hardware identifier for anything | 05:16 |

| lotuspsychje | atrius:on wich ubuntu version are you? | 06:07 |
| ch33z | how is n00b a bad word? | 06:07 |
| crizis | atrius, why it's strange? unless you have KDE installed, you're likely missing Qt and all the stuff related to it (skype is a QT app | 06:07 |
| crizis | *Qt | 06:07 |
| atrius | lotuspsychje: mint (not "real" ubuntu, i know) | 06:07 |
| atrius | crizis: true.. so i'd expect QTish dependencies.. but not 200+ i386 packages, no? | 06:08 |
| zteblade | !mint | 06:08 |
| ubottu | Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 06:08 |

| lotuspsychje | atrius:we recommend you install ubuntu precise 12.04.1 clean, it will rock your system | 06:08 |
| atrius | lotuspsychje: and i might do that at some point as i'm not totally sold on mint (they do weird things)... but for now.. is the same behavior present on ubuntu proper? | 06:09 |
| lotuspsychje | atrius:running precise 12.04.1 64bit myself and skype works like a charm | 06:09 |
| atrius | huh... the 32bit version is the "recommended" one on ubuntu's page | 06:11 |
| lotuspsychje | atrius: 64bit works very nice aswell | 06:11 |
| crizis | server version recommends 64bit by default :-) | 06:12 |
| atrius | lotuspsychje: indeed.. that's why i'm a bit surprised that the 32bit one is the recommended one | 06:12 |
| crizis | there are still cpu's out there that are not 64 bit capable, like a lot of netbooks | 06:12 |
| lotuspsychje | atrius:plz try precise 64bit it will make life easier :p | 06:12 |
| vanity | 32bit was recommended befor 10.04 | 06:12 |
| * lotuspsychje always liked ubuntu 64bit | 06:13 | |
| atrius | lotuspsychje: i probably will at some point... unfortunately i can't reload this machine completely right now :( | 06:13 |
| lotuspsychje | atrius:sorry mate we cant help you with mint | 06:13 |
| crizis | skype's "64" bit version is likely just 32bit version wrapped with correct :i386 deps | 06:14 |
| atrius | crizis: that's what i'm thinking given what happens when you try and install it via regular dpkg | 06:15 |

| Vernon | It is using the integrated graphics off of the 2nd Gen i3. | 06:19 |
| lotuspsychje | Vernon:did you try xubuntu or lubuntu? | 06:20 |
| somsip | lotuspsychje: what setup are you wanting to achieve? | 06:20 |
| lotuspsychje | somsip:well all adobe braodcasting webcam crashes on me..so i was thinking maybe to force it with vlc broadcast, cause tru vlc webcam works flawless | 06:20 |

| crizis | sigh | 06:27 |
| crizis | it is not | 06:27 |
| Vernon | I will give this a shot, and will be back on here if this fails. Does anyone else have any other suggestions than to give up and retry with a different flavor? | 06:28 |
| crizis | Vernon, these all ubuntu spins run the same kernel and same x version, and this is a kernel problem | 06:28 |
| crizis | Vernon, that part is pretty clear with 10sec googling | 06:28 |
| Ascavasaion | When I click on hard disks in PCManFM and it mounts them, it mounts the one fine with access for me, and the other I do not have permissions for. HOw do I fix that so that I do not have to /media/chown username hardsiskname ? | 06:28 |
| lotuspsychje | theres no harm on trying ... | 06:28 |
| crizis | Vernon, in a nutshell from what i gather, intel G6's work with modeset, but AMD versions are hopeless | 06:28 |
| Vernon | Ahh... Great. There is no workaround then? | 06:29 |
| Vernon | I have an Intel... | 06:29 |
| crizis | then nomodeset *should* help | 06:29 |
| Vernon | That is what I gathered until it literally failed. | 06:29 |
| crizis | Vernon, it's a shame that ubuntu removed alternate install cd with 12.04.. this would give you text-mode installer | 06:30 |
| pinguy | did anybody try pinguy os | 06:30 |
| crizis | Vernon, alternative for now for you would be to install using server install cd and install 'ubuntu-desktop' metapackage afterwards | 06:30 |
| crizis | Vernon, so, i recommend testing that. a bit harder/longer route, but will give you pretty much the same installation afterwards | 06:31 |
| Vernon | That might not be a bad idea. Let me see if I can't do that one. | 06:31 |
| crizis | Vernon, then you can at least try to setup X with real installation :) | 06:31 |
| Vernon | I am first going to give xubuntu a shot. If this fails, then I will try the server install, and might just give up and go to gentoo to fix this issue. | 06:32 |
| crizis | Vernon, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1996256 there's also something related to G6, it's kinda bizarre that nomodeset doesn't help for you | 06:32 |
| lotuspsychje | Vernon:thats the spirit :p | 06:32 |
| Vernon | I have done ONE successful gentoo install, and that was on my soon to be project machine. PAIN IN THE ROYAL ASS!!!! | 06:33 |
| lotuspsychje | Vernon:plz keep polite | 06:34 |
| Vernon | Sorry about that one... Kinda slipped. | 06:34 |
| Vernon | xubuntu downloading right now. UNetbootin is a godsend to those without extra CD's! | 06:35 |
| crizis | Vernon, for the future machines, i recommend http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/ ;) saves a lot of trouble to make sure it's certified for ubuntu. also pretty much guarantees general linux support for other distros too | 06:36 |
| === Granis` is now known as Granis | ||
| Vernon | According to that list, my project machine, which booted Ubuntu for a little bit, is not listed. | 06:37 |
| crizis | Vernon, especially i recommend thinkpads, almost every model is fully certified for linux. | 06:37 |
| crizis | also canonical works directly with lenovo to certify their stuff :-) | 06:37 |
| Vernon | One of these days, with a little more C and some more Kernel knowlege I am going to write a permanent fix. | 06:38 |
| crizis | way to go | 06:39 |
| Vernon | I am going to force the kernel and x server to default to BIOS if the graphics check procedure fails, rather than black screen. | 06:39 |
| Vernon | Problem is time. I work 50 to 60 hour weeks, and am enrolled in college full time. | 06:39 |
| crizis | i doubt the fix will be that easy. otherwise it would have been done for sure. | 06:39 |
| nmmm | I checked the links for syn flood / iptables | 06:40 |
| lotuspsychje | nmmm:iptables got synflood reject options | 06:41 |
| nmmm | however what i am looking for is how to switch OFF protection for synflood for specific hosts | 06:41 |
| Vernon | That is true. I think intel, nvidia, and amd need to release open-source versions of their drivers. What harm is there in releasing these open-source? We purchased the product from them, why can't we get an idea of how it works so that we can write the kernel around this? | 06:41 |
| lotuspsychje | nmmm:might be interesting to change your external ip too | 06:41 |
| crizis | Vernon, intel and amd do, nvidia doesn't | 06:41 |
| nmmm | we have alexa top 1000 site, lots of visitors, 1 server as load balanser , 4 backend | 06:41 |
| Vernon | Really? Then this issue should be fixed by now.. | 06:42 |
| lotuspsychje | nmmm:on ubuntu server? | 06:42 |
| crizis | Vernon, the real problem likely is some random cheap chipset, unrelated to intel's stuff. just guessing. | 06:42 |
| nmmm | some servers are on ubuntu, some on centos | 06:42 |
| lotuspsychje | !security | nmmm | 06:43 |
| ubottu | nmmm: Security Updates are dealt with here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Security - See also !root, !firewall and !server | 06:43 |
| Vernon | Problem is, you are right. | 06:43 |
| lotuspsychje | nmmm:might wanna read the security for servers link | 06:43 |
| nmmm | question is I want synflood off for some hosts | 06:44 |
| nmmm | I am unable to find how to do it, everywhere is written how to turn syn on | 06:45 |

| [_-S1L3NC3-_] | thanks | 07:01 |
| diverdude | where do i find a very basic example init.d script which is not completely bloated like those in /etc/init.d ? | 07:01 |
| humanonomics | ran_: hmm maybe. | 07:01 |
| humanonomics | guess might need to wait till there is a driver update | 07:01 |
| llutz_ | diverdude: /etc/init.d/skeleton | 07:01 |
| llutz_ | diverdude: since ubuntu uses upstart, it would be better to check about upstart startscripts than sysv | 07:02 |
| ran_ | you can reinstall the driver | 07:02 |
| humanonomics | ran_: tried that :) | 07:02 |
| diverdude | llutz: ok...but i need to be able to stop, start and restart it | 07:02 |
| humanonomics | ran_: I have even re-installed my ubuntu twice | 07:02 |

| === sm__ is now known as Guest3399 | ||

| llutz_ | diverdude: even upstart-jobs can be controlled using "service foo start/stop/restart/status" | 07:03 |
| diverdude | llutz: mmm there are a lot of files in /ets/init | 07:04 |
| llutz_ | diverdude: really? :) | 07:04 |
| humanonomics | ran_: yep done that as well, but the problwem does not seem with vlc, as I have used mplayer, GNOME mplayer as well, same result, guess it has to do something with graphics acceleration | 07:04 |
| ran_ | humanonomics: how games are running? | 07:04 |
| TJ- | Unity notification pop-up background colour has changed to light-grey since logging in using XFCE4 log-in instead of Unity. Any ideas what setting that will have altered? | 07:04 |

| ran_ | humanonomics: thats a weird problem. | 07:06 |
| humanonomics | ran_: it sure is :) | 07:07 |
| ran_ | humanonomics: the only thing left is to replace the video card, but thats not practical. | 07:08 |
| humanonomics | one thing I noticed though, that when I try to install additional drivers (ATI/AMD propreitary FGLRX graphics driver (post-release updates) through System settings --> Additional Drivers, the update fails | 07:09 |

| tiox | phi: There are various utilities that will allow you to do this. One in particular is the MultiCD script. | 07:45 |
| tiox | If you want to get really techy with it, just unpack the contents of the ISO fiiles you want to use, then configure GRUB by hand. | 07:45 |
| tiox | Should do it, anyway, unless things get more involved -- You want to try and use GRUB or another bootloader to chain-load into the bootloader for the system in particular. | 07:46 |

| Ascavasaion | In the file manager there are a list of other hard disks, not the booting partition. I have a 20Gb an a 60Gb. Then you click on them they are mounted by the file manager. Problem I have is that 20Gb mounts with fulla ccess to me, but 60Gb does not. I have to go into a terminal and issue /media/sudo chown username 60Gb and then it gives me access, Any help please? | 08:05 |
| gauravgrt1 | geirha : ok..the printer does nothing ...the printer status says processing ... | 08:05 |

| AdvoWork | I have rsynced some files from another server to my new server in /opt/test and need to transfer these to /opt/new on the same server, is there a specific way I need to move these files to keep the same permission as i rsynced across(and not take hours to move) as there are gigs and gigs of data. | 08:08 |
| geirha | gauravgrt1: I don't think that would matter. But I'm afraid I have no experience with that printer, so I can't help much. | 08:08 |
| geirha | AdvoWork: use rsync again | 08:12 |
| geirha | rsync -a /opt/test/ /opt/new/ | 08:13 |

| mtrd`w | Hello everyone! I'd like to migrate from Gnome to XFCE, i'm currently running Ubuntu 12.04 fully updated. I've came across this page, when looking for a way to do it http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexubuntu Does anybody has experience with this method ? Any known issues or better ways to do that ? Thank you :) | 08:16 |
| ewook | hum hum. anyone got any clue on dm-crypt/luks with etokens/yubikey? well, non openPGP-tokens preferably. | 08:17 |
| ActionParsnip | mtrd`w: just install xfce4 and log off, then log off and log in to the new session | 08:17 |
| mtrd`w | ActionParsnip: alright, thank you :) | 08:17 |
| Ascavasaion | geirha: What I need is what I imagine would be a fstab file used for mounting via the filemanager. | 08:18 |
| crizis | mtrd`w, if you want full xubuntu, just install 'xubuntu-desktop' metapackage | 08:18 |
| geirha | Ascavasaion: The mount cannot change ownership or permissions of an ext4 filesystem. You really do need to chown it. Though once you have chowned it, it'll be permanently so | 08:18 |
| mtrd`w | crizis: okay, thank you :) | 08:18 |
| Ascavasaion | geirha: but what is other users log in under their own accounts? | 08:19 |
| geirha | Ascavasaion: They'll likely have no access since it's owned by you | 08:19 |
| Ascavasaion | geirha: Exactly... so how do I get it to mount like the others that work fine? | 08:20 |
| geirha | Ascavasaion: If you want others to have access, create a group, add them and yourself as members of that group, give the group the proper permissions for the files on that filesystem | 08:20 |
| Ascavasaion | geirha: I hear you, but the other hard disk mounts just fine per user. | 08:21 |
| AdvoWork | geirha, won't that take ages, or would it be instant? | 08:21 |
| geirha | Ascavasaion: And what filesystem does that one have? | 08:21 |
| Ascavasaion | geirha: Also ext4 | 08:21 |
| geirha | AdvoWork: It's a copy operation, so depends on the speed of the harddrive(s) involved | 08:22 |
| llutz_ | AdvoWork: you may use "mv", it preserves permissions if possible | 08:22 |
| AdvoWork | geirha, ahh, well its on the same file system and pretty much the same location, but the initial transfer took hours, as its 300GB | 08:22 |
| geirha | AdvoWork: Ah, you wanted to move. then mv /opt/test /opt/new # though make sure /opt/new doesn't already exist | 08:22 |
| chiliblue | Hello, evolution and google calendars? has something changed. I seem to have lost mine. Can some body point me to a howto that is upto date? | 08:23 |
| geirha | AdvoWork: A simple rename like that should be instant and atomic | 08:23 |
| geirha | Ascavasaion: Then it probably has laxer permissions set | 08:23 |
| Ascavasaion | geirha: laxer? | 08:23 |
| bepebe | how can I set a system wide proxy? | 08:24 |
| geirha | Ascavasaion: as in "relaxed", less strict. Anyway, I recommend you read http://mywiki.wooledge.org/Permissions | 08:24 |
| AdvoWork | geirha, what if new already exists(which it will actually)? | 08:24 |
| Ascavasaion | geirha: Um, okay, thank you. | 08:24 |
| geirha | AdvoWork: Then you will end up with /opt/new/test | 08:25 |
| geirha | AdvoWork: or an error if /opt/new is not a directory | 08:25 |
| geirha | AdvoWork: so perhaps you want: shopt -s dotglob; mv /opt/test/* /opt/new/ | 08:26 |
| llutz_ | shouldn't "mv /opt/test/*.* /opt/new" do? | 08:26 |
| llutz_ | dotglob, that it is... | 08:27 |

| _utmz | hi all. Doing an update on remote server and am being asked The GRUB boot loader was previously installed to a disk that is no longer present, or whose unique identifier has changed for some reason. It is important to make sure that the installed GRUB core image stays in sync with GRUB modules and grub.cfg. Please check again to make sure that GRUB is written to the appropriate boot devices. got choice of sda, sdb and md01 - gue | 08:47 |

| elky | is there no user-friendly way to add a launcher to the unity panel? | 08:54 |
| awestroke | elky: alacarte | 08:55 |
| geirha | Niarf: Seems your mirror is out of sync | 08:55 |
| awestroke | apt it | 08:55 |
| elky | awestroke, i've been trying that for hours. i can't get the menu item to be in the thing down the left-hand side of the screen | 08:56 |
| elky | I'm on 12.04 | 08:56 |
| awestroke | elky: you first add it in alacarte. then you press super and search for it. then you drag it to the panel on the left | 08:56 |
| Niarf | geirha: a first sync seems ok | 08:56 |
| Niarf | i need to do few of rsync | 08:56 |
| elky | awestroke, searching does not find it. | 08:56 |
| geirha | Open the dash (hit Super), search for your new menu entry, drag it to the launcher | 08:56 |
| cindyasarisuratn | im 16:59 | 08:57 |
| awestroke | elky: did you name it correctly in alacarte? | 08:57 |
| elky | yes, i named it "restart vpn" and searching for "restart" and "vpn" both fail to find it. | 08:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Niarf: there is a known bug, so you may have to do it manual style | 08:57 |
| Niarf | ActionParsnip: manual ? | 08:58 |
| bittyx-work | hi all. i want to time the output of a command. however i'm not sure about the syntax. say the command is: "mysql dbname < data.sql > data.log" - how would i time this command? the command, when used with quotes as the argument to "time" won't run, but if i just pass it without quotes, how do i know what will be written to data.log - the output of mysql or time? | 08:59 |
| bittyx-work | thanks in advance | 08:59 |
| bittyx-work | and when i say "time the output", of course i mean the "execution time" | 08:59 |
| llutz_ | bittyx-work: "time mysql dbname < data.sql > data.log" | 08:59 |
| llutz_ | bittyx-work: "time bash -c "mysql dbname < data.sql > data.log" sry* | 09:00 |
| bittyx-work | llutz_: ah, so it is that simple - but how do i know what will be in the data.log file? the output of "mysql", or "time" ? | 09:00 |
| bittyx-work | llutz_: oh, yeah, that seems like it would work | 09:00 |
| bittyx-work | llutz_: thank you. | 09:00 |
| geirha | bittyx-work: time mysql dbname < data.sql > data.log | 09:00 |
| geirha | the redirections will still apply to mysql. time is special | 09:01 |
| elky | awestroke, oh cute, i had to reboot the computer to get it to show by searching | 09:01 |

| Niarf | with gsettings ? | 09:03 |

| NET||abuse | hi guys, is it possible to setup a write only sftp with standard openssh server? | 09:09 |
| geirha | Niarf: Switch to the main server, install updates, switch back | 09:09 |
| geirha | or wait for your mirror to catch up | 09:09 |
| NET||abuse | so i have an sftp only setup for a new vm i'm working on , but i'm hoping to prevent the sftp only user from modifying or deleting anything. | 09:09 |
| ActionParsnip | NET||abuse: your users will authorise as users on the local system, you could set up a user with the data needed to be read and give it read only access to the folder | 09:10 |
| NET||abuse | but i need the user to be able to upload a file | 09:10 |
| Niarf | geirha: the main mirror is archive.ubuntu.com ? | 09:10 |
| geirha | Niarf: yes | 09:10 |
| NET||abuse | but i don't want them to be able to modify or delete. | 09:10 |

| ikonia | borivoje: what is cedarview ? | 09:16 |
| hobbit | I haven't found a way | 09:16 |
| blackshirt | 3d support for this devices was bad .... | 09:16 |
| blackshirt | But, maybe you want try 3.6 kernel at least... | 09:17 |
| borivoje | 3.6 kernel. ok | 09:17 |
| blackshirt | thats has a good support cedarview | 09:17 |
| blackshirt | For cedarview graphics | 09:17 |
| borivoje | I might try | 09:17 |
| borivoje | but i m sceptical | 09:17 |
| blackshirt | you should | 09:17 |
| ikonia | no you don't | 09:18 |
| ikonia | you don't want to change kernels | 09:18 |
| borivoje | why not? | 09:18 |
| borivoje | I have tried many kernels | 09:18 |
| borivoje | even meego's adaptation pc kernel | 09:18 |
| borivoje | but still no luck | 09:18 |
| blackshirt | install the newer kernel,and looks what happen | 09:18 |
| Dko_ | Would someone help me with this problem I have trying to instal Ubuntu? When I get the installer up and running, I can move the mouse cursor around, but nothing responds to my mouse clicks and the keyboard doesn't seem to do anything either. | 09:18 |
| blackshirt | 3.6 above | 09:18 |
| ikonia | just randomly swapping kernels is not a good idea | 09:19 |
| === Dko_ is now known as Dko | ||
| ikonia | especially without an understanding of what the actual problem is | 09:19 |
| borivoje | ikonia you have a point there | 09:19 |
| borivoje | I didn't read anywhere that 3.6 kernel offers better support for cedarview | 09:19 |
| borivoje | it's just sooo closed that nobody can approach it | 09:20 |
| borivoje | but meego works | 09:20 |
| blackshirt | not the problem you couldn't find it | 09:20 |
| borivoje | I was wondering if one can help me extract components from there to fix my ubuntu system | 09:20 |
| ikonia | no | 09:20 |
| ikonia | that is a bad bad bad idea | 09:20 |
| ikonia | again you are doing random things without understanding the problem | 09:21 |
| ikonia | you are trying to fix something you don't know what's broke or why | 09:21 |
| borivoje | so ikonia, what are the steps to follow | 09:21 |
| ikonia | work out what's failing and why, then address an approach to fix it | 09:22 |
| borivoje | i'm not a linux pro | 09:22 |
| borivoje | although I'm not a newbie | 09:22 |

| === fig is now known as Guest58037 | ||
| borivoje | I have checked latest 3.6.1 kernel. | 09:33 |
| borivoje | It still offers experimental support only for gma 3600 | 09:33 |
| Guest58037 | Hallo all | 09:34 |
| ikonia | borivoje: again, why are you looking at changing things without understand what part is letting you down | 09:35 |
| borivoje | @ikonia, as I have read so far, nothing can make gma3600 work with opengl, except the meego drivers | 09:36 |
| borivoje | There must be a way to make it work | 09:36 |
| borivoje | I'm really into this problem | 09:37 |
| ikonia | borivoje: there are multiple parts to the X11 display process, you need to work out what's failing you and then look at your options | 09:37 |
| borivoje | I don't know what to do | 09:37 |
| ikonia | borivoje: not all hardware is supported, in some situations you have to accept the limitations of your hardware until it becomes supported | 09:37 |
| borivoje | but will it ever? | 09:37 |
| ikonia | it depends on who releases support, | 09:38 |
| ikonia | who knows | 09:38 |
| ikonia | and it depends on what is letting you down | 09:38 |
| borivoje | I don't know from where to start | 09:38 |
| ikonia | start what ? | 09:38 |
| borivoje | solving my problem | 09:38 |
| borivoje | should i change kernel | 09:38 |
| borivoje | xorg files | 09:38 |
| ikonia | no, not random | 09:39 |
| ikonia | you need to find what's letting you down first | 09:39 |
| cherva | can I force my webcam to be detected as another model because the first time I connected it it was "USB2.0 Camera (1871:0306)" and it was working ... now it finds it as a "USB2.0 Camera (1871:01f0)" and there is only green screen | 09:39 |

| ActionParsnip | cherva: did you hibernate the OS? | 09:43 |
| ActionParsnip | cherva: did you disable power management and disable the ability for the webcam to wake up the OS (if it is an option) in device manager | 09:43 |
| cherva | ActionParsnip, no I did nothing tested the cam it worked then pluged it in a an embeded linux board and I saw the other version now on my pc it is wrong too | 09:44 |
| ActionParsnip | cherva: if you unplug the camera and shove it back in, is it ok | 09:44 |
| cherva | ActionParsnip, no | 09:45 |

| craigbass1976 | ActionParsnip, right, and I'm not opposed to manually renaming the files in there (I was just going to ln -s where/I/actually/want/the/files/to/go ~/PDF ) but I'm not going to be printing these reports every day. Our retarded ERP won't save count up data at the end of every day.

| iceroot | amaro: which program you want to install? | 12:33 |
| rvsjoen | *or | 12:33 |
| cfhowlett | rvsjoen: update manager/software sources will automate a fair number of the necessary changes | 12:33 |
| cfhowlett | amaro: software center installations are the preferred method | 12:33 |
| amaro | showtcast, to build my webradio that i use to have on windows | 12:34 |
| amaro | i do not find shoutcast on software center, just on their page | 12:34 |

| ActionParsnip | amaro: in Ubuntu, it is very rare to download apps manually to install. Windows is dumb and has its users scouring the web for things they need. Ubuntu has centralized this | 12:55 |
| ActionParsnip | amaro: did you not think to use this first? | 12:56 |

| amaro | by software center | 12:58 |
| ActionParsnip | amaro: or have you just stuck with the default app set? | 12:58 |
| ActionParsnip | amaro: then the process is identical, you are just installing a different package. You are conversant enough with the OS to know to use software centre to install applications | 12:58 |

| MonkeyDust | tlopez_ ubuntu is not an app, it's a distro | 13:25 |
| tlopez_ | also where can I ask abóut android | 13:25 |
| MonkeyDust | tlopez_ type /join #android | 13:26 |
| geirha | waheed: No, you can't do this while the filesystem is mounted, and you can't unmount / while the system is running | 13:26 |
| geirha | waheed: Actually, all filesystems on the harddrive must be unmounted for the resizing and moving | 13:27 |
| waheed | well, If I did it from the CD.. will the data at the other driver stay the same without being removed?? | 13:28 |
| tlopez_ | how do identify with services? | 13:28 |
| geirha | waheed: Yes, if the procedure doesn't get interrupted midway or something like that. Regardless, you should make sure you have a backup of all the files you can't afford to lose. | 13:29 |

| Kroach | I need to apply a patch to the kernel, where can I find instructions on how to do it in Ubuntu? The information in the Ubuntu wiki seems outdated. | 14:22 |
| jrib | !kernel | Kroach | 14:22 |
| ubottu | Kroach: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) | 14:22 |
| jrib | Kroach: just apply the patch before you build | 14:23 |
| ActionParsnip | !patch | Kroach | 14:23 |
| ubottu | Kroach: Patches are files describing the changes in code to achieve some results. There are a number of ways these can be produced, but https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToFix and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/PatchSystems may provide some useful guidelines. | 14:23 |

| sticky1 | I'm about to grab my laptop, pour some petrol over it, burn it, send it to NASA where they send it into space to send the remains of it in a supernova while shooting an atombomb at it because it is TOO DIFFICULT to recover one single file, isn't there any recoverytool with a gui? | 15:06 |
| ubuntu-newb | ActionParsnip, im actually from a liveCD, but i don't know what to do | 15:06 |

| pangur | I have now restored ubuntu-desktop, it tells me. | 15:06 |
| [twisti] | damn, where does 90-updates-available come from ? | 15:07 |
| ubuntu-newb | i will check it ActionParsnip, thanks | 15:07 |
| ActionParsnip | sticky1: just let foremost run overnight, you can inspect your writable partition in the morning. Again, backups will have saved you this grief | 15:07 |
| pangur | Anything else apart from restoring ubuntu-desktop that I need to do, please, jrib? | 15:07 |
| jrib | [twisti]: why? dpkg -S /path/to/file will tell you where file is from | 15:07 |
| alejandro | try deleting python in debian. debian will be broken. | 15:07 |
| Tinybird | pangur: perl is ultra important on any unix-like systems. | 15:07 |
| jrib | pangur: well if it was me, I'd go read the scrollback and see what apt removed exactly. Then copy those packages and explicitly install them again | 15:08 |
| [twisti] | jrib: thanks | 15:08 |
| pangur | Thanks, Tinybird. | 15:08 |
| ubuntu-newb | ActionParsnip, how i can check which /dev/sdX is my ubuntu partition? | 15:08 |
| [twisti] | jrib: for some reason, update-notifier seems to depend on the entire gnome desktop | 15:08 |
| sticky1 | ActionParsnip: I need to restore one single folder and its contents, just this. Why is this so difficult on linux? | 15:08 |
| ActionParsnip | [twisti]: /etc/update-motd.d just like my pastebin shows | 15:08 |
| [twisti] | which on a headless server is obviously a bad idea | 15:08 |
| Joe_CoT | so for some reason after the latest firefox update, unity doesn't recognize that firefox is launched, and my task switcher lists it as "Minefield 3.5 Web Browser". I haven't had Minefield installed in quite some time, and I removed the menu entry for it, but same thing. any idea what gives? | 15:08 |
| ActionParsnip | sticky1: its the same in Windows | 15:08 |
| pangur | Thanks jrib. | 15:08 |
| [twisti] | ActionParsnip: i dont understand what youre trying to say | 15:08 |
| [twisti] | its nice that you have those files | 15:09 |
| sticky1 | ActionParsnip: No you had this program Recuva and that was a super nice program to use | 15:09 |
| [twisti] | but how does that help me ? | 15:09 |
| * pangur is printing out his scrollback | 15:09 | |
| ActionParsnip | sticky1: why because it used a mouse instead of typing stuff? | 15:09 |
| ActionParsnip | [twisti]: its the location of the script. | 15:09 |
| badboy007 | Ciao a Tutti | 15:09 |
| sticky1 | ActionParsnip: yes actually, I'm not into console-programs | 15:09 |
| jrib | sticky1: well it's difficult because when you say "delete this file instead of put this file in a place where I can restore it", linux will do what you ask. See ubottu's !recover factoid for your options and take this as a lesson to always have backups for things you care about | 15:09 |
| [twisti] | ActionParsnip: yes, on your pc. do you suggest that i refence the file on your pc via ftp ? or email them to me ? | 15:09 |
| ActionParsnip | sticky1: console is where a lot of linux's power lives. You can do stuff the GUI dreams of doing and easily | 15:10 |
| ActionParsnip | [twisti]: I already cat'd the files, so you have the contents.... | 15:10 |
| [twisti] | well im not actually going to just copy and paste someone elses files into my pristine system | 15:11 |
| [twisti] | i just wanted to know where they came from | 15:11 |
| sticky1 | jrib: Look, I deleted the saves folder right from Minecraft. I thought it would take it to the bin, not to remove it permanently! | 15:11 |
| [twisti] | luckily i found them on my old system and did what jrib told me | 15:11 |
| [twisti] | they were from update-notifier-common | 15:11 |
| ActionParsnip | [twisti]: isn't it the same as me sending you the file? | 15:11 |
| [twisti] | yes, it is, it wasnt a serious suggestion | 15:11 |
| sticky1 | jrib: And that by accident, I deleted the wrong world | 15:11 |
| jrib | sticky1: you used rm? | 15:11 |
| sticky1 | jrib: no look I deleted the save folder right fromout Minecraft: http://images.wikia.com/creepypasta/images/c/c5/Minecraft-Diary-31-World-Delete.jpg | 15:12 |
| [twisti] | by the way, thanks jrib ;) | 15:12 |
| Iszak | How can I purge my Macbook Air of which is known as Mountain Lion and only install Ubuntu, I know there's guides to use bootcamp, but I want to remove ML. | 15:12 |
| [twisti] | its all working as it should now | 15:12 |
| sticky1 | jrib: With every second waiting, chances are greater the overwritable folder has been overwritten with new temporary stuff | 15:13 |
| jrib | sticky1: if you're still using the partition for some reason, yeah | 15:13 |
| ActionParsnip | sticky1: boot to liveCD and you can work on the unmounted partition | 15:13 |
| jrib | yes, do as ActionParsnip says | 15:14 |
| ActionParsnip | sticky1: its goingto take time, plus you will need a fairly large destination partition to spit all the found files to, then hope the file you want hasn't got damaged in some way | 15:14 |

| ActionParsnip | ncfi1013__: how did you get these files? | 15:15 |
| sticky1 | jrib: I appreciate the help but am too lazy to do all that... I'll just leave it by this as a lesson not to be too stupid to accidentally remove something permanently. Hey, I didn't know Minecraft would delete worlds permanently and I didn't think there was a way of recovering a single folder. But thanks for the help. | 15:15 |
| sticky1 | Gotta go now | 15:15 |
| sticky1 | Bye | 15:15 |
| jrib | sticky1: make routine backups :) | 15:16 |

| pangur | sorry, bazhang. | 15:25 |
| ncfi1013__ | llutz__: thanks for your help | 15:25 |
| llutz | ncfi1013__: it is used for this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD-Audio | 15:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Safa_[A_boy]: if you just loop mount it like any other disk image, does it mount? | 15:26 |
| jackdup | no. I can connect to the machine in every other way (ie ssh, openvpn etc...) but samba just won't broadcast | 15:26 |
| Safa_[A_boy] | it open with gedit ! | 15:26 |
| Safa_[A_boy] | only | 15:26 |
| Safa_[A_boy] | so I can't mount it :'( | 15:27 |
| ncfi1013__ | oh i have another question...the swap...put it in the beginning, middle, or end for better performance? | 15:27 |
| jackdup | ActionParsnip, no. I can connect to the machine in every other way (ie ssh, openvpn etc...) but samba just won't broadcast | 15:27 |
| ncfi1013__ | i put it in the middle and my computer occasionally freezes and the mouse seems to always be sticky | 15:28 |
| llutz | ncfi1013__: on modern harddisks the position of swap won't really matter, the differences are marginal | 15:29 |
| ncfi1013__ | on a sata 40gb? | 15:30 |
| ActionParsnip | jackdup: could ask in #samba they can check your config some | 15:30 |
| llutz | ncfi1013__: that is modern :) | 15:30 |
| llutz | ncfi1013__: i doubt that those freezes are swap-related | 15:31 |
| ncfi1013__ | how big should the swap be? 2 or 4 gb? mines 4gb...i think that may also be a problem | 15:31 |
| paulens12 | how much ram do you have? | 15:31 |
| jackdup | ActionParsnip, nobody answering there .. I don't have to configure smb.conf on the client end do I? | 15:32 |
| llutz | ncfi1013__: the size only matters if you want to use hibernation /suspend to disk/ | 15:32 |
| ncfi1013__ | 4gb paulens12 | 15:32 |
| ActionParsnip | jackdup: thats the way I always do it personally | 15:32 |
| paulens12 | then get 8GB swap | 15:32 |
| jackdup | ActionParsnip, thanks man. I'll give that a try | 15:32 |
| compdoc | jackdup, what are you using for clients? What os? | 15:33 |
| bazhang | paulens12, thats not good advice | 15:33 |
| ncfi1013__ | a friend of mine suggests only 2gb swap | 15:33 |
| pangur | Is there a test that would indicate to me whether my ubuntu is still working properly or not? | 15:33 |
| jackdup | compdoc, all ubuntu 12.04 | 15:33 |
| llutz | ncfi1013__: are you using hibernation? if not, 1-2GB are more than fine. if yes, you'll need a bit more than 4GB | 15:34 |
| pangur | My impression is that all is well but I am afraid that if I switch off it will be gone and that I shall not be able to restore. | 15:34 |
| IdleOne | ncfi1013__: 4GB swap is good. | 15:34 |
| compdoc | jackdup, do you have samba installed on the clients? | 15:34 |
| ncfi1013__ | i use hibernation sometimes...only when it rains | 15:34 |
| Rains | hmm? | 15:34 |
| jackdup | compdoc, yea but I haven't touched the conf file on the clients. I didn't think it was necessary | 15:34 |
| compdoc | jackdup, I do the same thing so they can use a windows network. I dont touch the conf files either, although you might want to set the workgroup name | 15:35 |

| dell2012 | actionparsnip: i tried using livecd but i cant access gparted or my installed linux from my livecd | 16:23 |
| crazydip | someone's not getting help :D | 16:23 |
| dell2012 | how do i use livecd to resize. Do i do it from the boot menu or when the livecd is loaded and ready to be used? | 16:24 |
| theadmin | dell2012: Wait for it to be loaded. Choose "Try Ubuntu" in the login/install screen. Find "GParted" in the menu. | 16:24 |
| theadmin | dell2012: The rest should be fairly self-explanatory. Although please note that if your "livecd" is actually a USB, the device you may need to select might not be /dev/sda but /dev/sdb. | 16:25 |

| islandmonkey | when doing LANG=C;sudo apt-get update -o APT::Cache-Limit=25165824 | 16:33 |
| dell2012 | crazydip: ok so i burn gparted to a DVD and boot with only the gparted on that DVD? | 16:33 |
| bazhang | matt__, kubuntu-desktop is fine | 16:33 |
| ActionParsnip | islandmonkey: LANG=C;sudo apt-get update -o APT::Cache-Limit=65165824 && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 16:34 |

| wols_ | bazhang: Deutsch (DE) Language Pack 16.0.1 is installed and active according to about:addons | 16:34 |
| matt__ | bazhang, ok thanks, when i update is it useing kubuntu or ubuntu? | 16:34 |
| bazhang | matt__, depends what you choose in the login window, I have all four major DE on mine | 16:34 |
| ikonia | you seem to be struggling to grasp "#ubuntu is not the place to get help with Fedora" | 16:35 |
| ikonia | oops | 16:35 |
| matt__ | bazhang, i mean if im runing ubuntu with kde the updates i get will they be from ubuntu? | 16:35 |
| crazydip | dell2012: well if all you want is to use gparted to change some partitions then yes, just use that -- and you can burn to dvd, cd or usb stick and it's super small | 16:35 |
| matt__ | bazhang, and what are the four main DE? | 16:35 |
| bazhang | matt__, if you mean upgrade version instead of update? | 16:35 |
| ikonia | crazydip: please take it to ##linux - this isn't Fedora support | 16:36 |
| bazhang | matt__, kubuntu xubuntu lubuntu ubuntu | 16:36 |
| ikonia | if you can't be bothered to get the correct channels for the correct support - that is your problem, #ubuntu does not pickup the slack | 16:36 |
| matt__ | bazhang, basically im saying does it still use ubuntu repos for update manager? | 16:36 |
| lollo64it | islandmonkey: same problem to me. I had to remove playdeb/getdeb repositories ... | 16:36 |
| theadmin | matt__: (which are KDE, Xfce, LXDE and... well... Gnome+Unity, although I wouldn't call it a major desktop) | 16:36 |

| matt__ | theadmin, i know its a shame because works great, got nothing against unity just not my thing | 16:40 |
| theadmin | matt__: You can install it. Also, since Quantal there will be an official GNOME-Shell-based version of Ubuntu. | 16:40 |
| D[4]ni | "gubuntu"? | 16:41 |
| matt__ | theadmin, is that the next version? so it will come with unity and gnomeshell? | 16:41 |
| theadmin | matt__: No, you know like they currently do Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu... Will be one of those lines | 16:42 |
| D[4]ni | matt__: it will be a separate download, like kubuntu/xubuntu, and it will also still be available for download on other ubuntu versions via apt | 16:42 |

| matt__ | D[4]ni, ok thanks whens that out? ill probs install it through ubuntu i never switch never see the point as they all are ubuntu underneth so i always install ubuntu and change the DE | 16:44 |

| litropy | Hi, all. I need to modify fstab so that my ntfs volume mounts with directories at 644 and files at 755, | 16:58 |
| BoxyK | How is the default route determined in Ubuntu if two network interfaces are available? | 16:58 |
| ActionParsnip | islandmonkey: sweet | 16:59 |
| litropy | ntfs external hd, to be more specific | 16:59 |
| litropy | currently, it mounts at 700 | 16:59 |
| BluesKaj | conley, well ,i's usually easier if you have a separate / partition without your home dir on it , IME | 16:59 |
| conley | BluesKaj: Oh, I see what you mean. Yeah, I have that. I'm trying to figure out the best way to work with two linux installations on one disk.. | 16:59 |
| schnuffle | BoxyK: If both set the default gateway, then the one which is configured a second set the gateway | 17:01 |
| AdvoWork | im trying to move files from one folder to another, someone gave me instructions earlier but ive just bloody lost what was said. I'm trying to do: cd /opt/test then mv * /opt/new it says it cannot because a folder in test "Directory is not empty" but i know its not, i want to move all the contents to /opt/new but to not create a folder called test first | 17:01 |
| BoxyK | schnuffle: so the latest one wins? | 17:01 |
| bekks | BoxyK: No. | 17:01 |
| BluesKaj | conley, ok I have 2 linux installs on this drive , and the first / is where I grub installed , set in the bios as the first partition as well | 17:02 |
| schnuffle | BoxyK: was my impression but maybe bekks knows more about | 17:02 |
| bekks | Having two default gateways is an undefined situation. Expect to have things working just like when you have no gateway set. | 17:02 |
| bekks | The term "default" says it all :) | 17:02 |
| BoxyK | ok. I have two connections. On none of them there's DHCP activated. But Ubuntu still sets a default gateway. Do you know why? | 17:03 |
| schnuffle | bekks: a while ago I had that with wifi and eth0 and my impression that the second dhcp request sets the deault gateway and you only have one at the end | 17:03 |
| schnuffle | BoxyK: paste /etc/network/interfaces or do you use network manager? | 17:04 |
| bekks | schnuffle: Thats wrong :) | 17:04 |
| fraroco | Hello Everybody | 17:05 |
| schnuffle | bekks: thanx for the info then I'll retest it and check the setup | 17:05 |
| BoxyK | schnuffle: it's in the office. I can't paste it now. Sorry. | 17:05 |
| conley | AdvoWork: are you sure /opt/new isn't the thing that isn't empty? | 17:05 |
| n1 | llutz and theadmin, at sudo dpkg -i xxx.deg received the message "error processing sudo cannot access archive dpkg: error processing gdebi", and with sudo gdebi xxx.deb recevied "command not found" | 17:05 |
| litropy | I'm seeing lots of recommendations of installing psydm to solve my issue, but I can't find it anywhere | 17:05 |
| theadmin | n1: sudo apt-get install gdebi then | 17:05 |
| BoxyK | bekks: Althogh I cannot paste /etc/network/interfaces, could you still imagine why I always automatically get a static host route set to my router? | 17:06 |
| L3top | conley: here is a little utility I wrote that fixes grub. grubin -h for usage. Very easy http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/export/26556/people/l3mce/grubin | 17:06 |
| fraroco | I would like to ask some stuff about a editation text. I have a list of more than 150,000 lines and I want to insert a counter next to a condicionad line. Some can Help me? | 17:06 |
| L3top | conley: wget http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/export/26556/people/l3mce/grubin; chmod +x grubin to use. | 17:07 |
| Abrackadabra | Hi guys | 17:07 |
| bekks | BoxyK: network manager, rc.local, DHCP option, etc. there are several chances. | 17:07 |
| schnuffle | fraroco: what is a condicionad line. Some can Help me?? and in which format is your text? | 17:07 |
| BoxyK | bekks: i have one route 192.168.2.0/24 -- wlan0 and the route 192.168.2.1 -- eth0 is automatically added. After manually removing, it's set automatically again. | 17:07 |
| BoxyK | bekks: Networkmanager could be... | 17:07 |
| BoxyK | bekks: what's its configuration file? | 17:08 |
| bekks | BoxyK: Then nopaste the output of "netstat -rn" without modifying it please. | 17:08 |
| schnuffle | BoxyK: I guess network manager | 17:08 |
| conley | L3top: I don't want ubuntu grub installed to my mbr, I want Arch grub to chainload ubuntu grub | 17:08 |
| fraroco | schnuffle, the text format is fasta. I have a lot of '>gi' and I want to give number to each one ie. >gi1, >gi2 etc. | 17:08 |
| diverdude | i made this configscript: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/445950409 and saved it in: /etc/init/nodechatserver.conf. when i run start nodechatserver i get this error messae: start: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.11" (uid=1000 pid=14091 comm="start nodechatserver ") interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Start" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 c | 17:08 |

| ActionParsnip | fraroco: fraroco nl can be used to number lines in a stream | 17:08 |
| AdvoWork | conley, ive cleaned it now, so it is, but it was before i think, im doing: cd /opt/old and then: mv * /opt/zimbra/store/ is that correct? | 17:09 |
| BoxyK | bekks and schnuffle: I think so, too... I forgot to disable it. damn. Is there a documentation on Network Manager available? | 17:09 |
| conley | AdvoWork: I don't think mv can create levels of directories, but I could easily be wrong | 17:09 |
| schnuffle | fraroco: don'T know the format but doing the replacement is a typical awk job when the file is in normal txt format | 17:09 |
| L3top | Ok conley... that is a good idea... I should add a chainloading option. | 17:10 |
| fraroco | ActionParsnip,I see. I guess pBRE can help me to inset a number only in a line that contain my condicion text. right? | 17:11 |
| AdvoWork | conley, oh. Anyone know how to move multiples files/folders which contain lots of subfolders too? | 17:11 |
| L3top | conley: AdvoWork you could first mkdir -p /a/lot/of/lvls/to/mv/a/dir/into and it would creat it, then mv. | 17:11 |
| llutz | diverdude: just a guess: does user www-data have writeaccess to /var/log? | 17:11 |
| conley | AdvoWork: No, it will do that if you move the top level folder | 17:11 |
| conley | AdvoWork: It will move all the subdirectories as well | 17:11 |
| ActionParsnip | fraroco: I'd ask in #bash | 17:11 |
| fraroco | schnuffle, I could change the formant. How can I make this typical awk job? Can you help me? | 17:11 |
| AdvoWork | L3top, theres millions of subfolders though :S | 17:11 |
| L3top | AdvoWork: mv will move the subdirs as well | 17:11 |
| conley | AdvoWork: It won't create multiple initial directories for you | 17:11 |
| fraroco | ActionParsnip, Thakns! | 17:12 |
| diverdude | llutz: hmm that might be the problem...i dont think it has | 17:12 |
| llutz | diverdude: check using something like "....>> /tmp/nodejs.log" | 17:12 |
| AdvoWork | conley, ahh ok, so if ive got oldfolder and i do cd oldfolder (which contains 10000s of files/folders etc) and then do mv * /opt/new/store/ it will move all of them to /opt/new/store/ but *wont* create "oldfolder" first? | 17:12 |
| wad | I read that the Ubuntu download page was now requesting donations. I went to ubuntu.com, and tried to find a donate page. Eventually, I had to go to the download page. I made my donation ($15), then canceled the download. Ubuntu rocks, keep it alive! | 17:12 |
| conley | AdvoWork: You're making it hard for yourself :) Just 'mv oldfolder /opt/new/store/ | 17:13 |
| L3top | AdvoWork: the destination directory must exist for you to move things to, but mv will grab all of the subdirs of the source dir. | 17:13 |
| schnuffle | fraroco: awk '{printf("%5d : %s\n", NR,$0)}' filename > filenamenumbered would add line numbers to a text file. To replce those >gi with >gix is just a bit more, but one would need to see the text | 17:13 |
| AdvoWork | conley, but what would create /opt/new/store/oldfolder ? | 17:13 |
| AdvoWork | L3top, ahh ok | 17:13 |
| diverdude | llutz: you mean sudo -u www-data "....>> /tmp/nodejs.log" ? | 17:13 |
| conley | AdvoWork: mv would. it can create a single directory. | 17:13 |
| llutz | diverdude: yes, just to check permissions-issue | 17:14 |
| llutz | diverdude: /tmp is world-writable | 17:14 |
| AdvoWork | conley, yeah but i dont want that, basically oldfolder is just a temp name, i want my folders etc to go /opt/new/store/folder.. not /opt/new/store/oldfolder/folder.. | 17:14 |
| diverdude | llutz: sudo: ....>> /tmp/nodejs.log: command not found | 17:15 |
| conley | AdvoWork: then you can rename it: mv /opt/new/store/oldfolder /opt/new/store/folder | 17:15 |
| schnuffle | AdvoWork: then mv /path/oldfolder /path/newfolder | 17:15 |
| conley | AdvoWork: The trailing slash is what makes the difference | 17:15 |
| llutz | diverdude: ... to be replaced with your old command (i was too lazy to paste the whole line) | 17:15 |
| conley | AdvoWork: if there's a trailing slash, it goes inside that directory. If not, it doesn't. | 17:15 |
| llutz | diverdude: just replace /var/log/ into /tmp/ | 17:15 |
| L3top | conley: is your arch using grub2? Because I wouldn't think you would need to chainload... simply installing/upgrading grub should find ubuntu, and other installs that are not grub1... as it is a chroot it would be an arch grub... in which case the utility would work. | 17:15 |
| llutz | with* | 17:16 |
| conley | L3top: it does, but what I install a new kernel in ubuntu, arch doesn't find them unless i regenerate the config | 17:16 |
| conley | L3top: but i hate grub so I may just put up with things | 17:16 |
| conley | neat. netsplit apparently | 17:17 |
| diverdude | llutz: mmm i dont think i understand | 17:17 |
| diverdude | llutz: command is not working for me | 17:17 |
| AdvoWork | schnuffle, i did: mv /opt/zimbra/temp_store /opt/zimbra/store and its made /opt/zimbra/store/temp_store which is what i was hoping to avoid, | 17:17 |

| rsc | Hello folks. Is it somehow possible to tell MySQL to start up before another specific daemon in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS? | 17:18 |
| AdvoWork | conley, no, thats copied and pasted from my terminal | 17:18 |
| llutz | diverdude: and why does your script need HOME being set to /root? | 17:18 |
| schnuffle | AdvoWork: Sure you haven't inserted a / at the end? | 17:18 |
| AdvoWork | so now, how can i move /opt/zimbra/store/temp_store/(all files/folders) to just /opt/zimbra/store ? | 17:18 |
| AdvoWork | schnuffle, no, def no / | 17:18 |
| diverdude | llutz: well i followed this: http://kvz.io/blog/2009/12/15/run-nodejs-as-a-service-on-ubuntu-karmic/ and they wrote it was necessary | 17:18 |
| schnuffle | AdvoWork: Then you system works differently then mine | 17:19 |
| conley | wait. so store existed then. You need to delete it.. | 17:19 |
| conley | AdvoWork: If store exists, mv tries to be safe and doesn't just overwrite everything | 17:19 |
| L3top | AdvoWork: mv /opt/zimbra/store/temp_store/* /opt/zimbra/store | 17:19 |
| ActionParsnip | AdvoWork: cp -r /opt/zimbra/store/temp_store /opt/zimbra/temp && rm -r /opt/zimbra/store/temp_store && mv /opt/zimbra/temp /opt/zimbra/store | 17:19 |
| conley | AdvoWork: You need to delete that directory if you want another directory to be it | 17:19 |
| diverdude | llutz: i changed it and it still gives me the same error | 17:20 |
| conley | AdvoWork: it seems very confusing now, but the core utilities do make sense eventually heh | 17:20 |
| llutz | diverdude: ok so i had a wrong guess. sorry, no idea then (i'm not familiar with upstart) | 17:20 |
| schnuffle | AdvoWork: Now I see, okay first mv /opt/zimbra/store/temp_store /opt/zimbra/storetemp, then rm -fR /opt/zimbra/store then mv /opt/zimbra/storetemp /opt/zimbra/store | 17:20 |
| llutz | diverdude: have you tried asking in #upstart? | 17:21 |

| viks | thanks dude..... | 19:30 |
| M1R4G3 | @Hellchico install Gnome-Alsa-Mixxer maybe that will work | 19:30 |
| gregor3005 | hi, i try to install ubuntu 12.04 minimal and i get an error that no network was detected with error "error whil running 'modprobe -v yenta_socket'" | 19:30 |
| crazydip | viks: you're welcome | 19:30 |
| gregor3005 | with the desktop edition the network are detected | 19:31 |
| ChrisWere | Hey guys. Nvidia-Settings won't pick up the correct resolution on my primary monitor. It worked fine until recently. | 19:31 |
| ChrisWere | a little help maybe? | 19:33 |
| ChrisWere | hello? | 19:33 |
| ChrisWere | Hey guys. Nvidia-Settings won't pick up the correct resolution on my primary monitor. It worked fine until recently. | 19:33 |
| gregor3005 | anybody know the right command from the bootmenu to install a minimal system? | 19:34 |
| M1R4G3 | u can change your resolution into the settings for both dislpay/screens | 19:34 |
| ChrisWere | it's not picking up the correct resolution | 19:34 |
| _Trullo | how shall I put this line in fstab? sudo mount -t aufs -o br:/media/1/dir1=RO:/media/2/dir2=RO \ none /mnt/dir3 | 19:35 |
| ChrisWere | is this the famous Ubuntu community support? It's a joke. | 19:36 |
| [_-S1L3NC3-_] | haha | 19:36 |
| MonkeyDust | !patience| ChrisWere | 19:36 |
| ubottu | ChrisWere: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 19:36 |
| M1R4G3 | remove it and install the nvidia drive again but just with your primary screen, put any other screens off | 19:36 |
| ChrisWere | M1R4G3: is that actual help or are you telling me to do this as a shot in the dark | 19:37 |
| skyline | Hi I cannot download the ip tables for my ubuntu virtual machine. I am getting the error "Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead." and also "Temporary failure resolving ‘us.archive.ubuntu.com’ | 19:38 |
| yekoms | ChrisWere, either take whats offered or dont, we wouldnt tell anyone anything that would cause intended harm. | 19:38 |
| witakr | Ok, Sorry I had to step away for a few. Does anyone know of a good PDF reader like Nitro for windows that will let the user fill the PDF forms out before printing? | 19:39 |
| jrib | skyline: why are you ignoring what I've told you? I've told you twice now that you already have iptables. What exactly are you doing now that is giving you the "... index files failed ..." output? Use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste full input and output | 19:39 |
| M1R4G3 | ChrisWere it's just a try, u don't have to do that maybe u can find another way to fix your problem | 19:39 |
| ChrisWere | yekoms: I don't mean anything by it, it just didn't sound like serious advice | 19:39 |
| jrib | witakr: doesn't the default one (evince) do that? | 19:39 |
| M1R4G3 | I just try to help u and tell u my idea's nothing more | 19:39 |
| witakr | jrib, Does it? I don't know. I'm in Xubuntu 12.04 specifically so I don't know if I even have that one. one sec. | 19:39 |
| islandmonkey | !attitude | ChrisWere | 19:39 |
| ubottu | ChrisWere: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 19:39 |
| yekoms | ChrisWere, it seems like he gave a valid test to start fixing your issue. | 19:40 |
| islandmonkey | ...or correct | 19:40 |
| jrib | witakr: I believe it does; I remember using it with my taxes :x | 19:40 |
| yekoms | cant fix without diagnose. | 19:40 |
| skyline | jrib: sorry, I do not have the iptables. even the command "iptables" is not working. I am getting error "bash command not found" | 19:40 |
| ChrisWere | islandmonkey: I apologise, I'm just had far too many bugs with Ubuntu, and I'm self employed so it costs me money everytiem something like this happens | 19:40 |
| gregor3005 | only-ubiquity helps from the boot menu | 19:40 |
| jrib | skyline: did you see what I said about pastebin? | 19:40 |
| AdvoWork | if i cant run a server but have it mounted, how can i see the cronjobs for a specific user, are they stored in a file? | 19:41 |
| witakr | jrib, I don't see anything in evince that indicates an abililty to add text or edit. It appears to be only a viewer. | 19:41 |
| === [NM]entropyX is now known as [NM]entropy | ||
| jrib | witakr: you should just be able to click on the text field you want to fill | 19:42 |
| jrib | AdvoWork: use crontab | 19:42 |
| AdvoWork | jrib, i cant boot the server | 19:42 |
| AdvoWork | so i can only access files on it :S | 19:42 |
| jrib | AdvoWork: is this still that really old ubuntu you have... ? | 19:43 |
| AdvoWork | jrib, nah, thats long gone, this is on ubuntu 10.04 server now | 19:43 |
| puddle | guys I am using Ubuntu 12.04.1 and I installed gnome but it will not install the latest gnome, how can i install the latest release? | 19:43 |
| jrib | AdvoWork: you could chroot or look in /var/spool/cron/crontabs/ | 19:43 |
| AdvoWork | but ive just done another migration, and that server is now old, i cant boot it due to the same ip/conflics etc | 19:43 |
| islandmonkey | puddle: Wait 6 days and it will be with you (12.10 is coming :)) | 19:44 |
| AdvoWork | jrib, thats empty :S this is also for a specific user too "zimbra" user | 19:44 |
| witakr | jrib, Ok ok ok. I think I should clearify. I forgot that you can make PDF forms to be filled without any special program but this particular form was designed to be printed and handwritten even though I have the option to type. That being said the fields are not editable fields but rather they are just lines. | 19:44 |
| ChrisWere | Okay I've restarted X with one screen, and I still can't find the right reslution | 19:44 |
| jrib | witakr: ah, there are certainly some tools that let you annotate PDFs but I don't remember their names | 19:44 |
| puddle | islandmonkey, you mean my ubuntu will upgrade to 12.10 or i have to install it? i dont want to install new ubuntu:p | 19:44 |
| yekoms | it should upgrade from -current- to -12.10- if you choose so. | 19:45 |
| islandmonkey | puddle: It won't automatically upgrade | 19:45 |
| puddle | but that wont be tls | 19:45 |
| puddle | lts | 19:45 |
| jrib | AdvoWork: you're sure /etc/cron.* or /etc/crontab wasn't used instead of the user's crontab? | 19:45 |
| ChrisWere | so what do I do now guys? | 19:45 |
| islandmonkey | puddle: Let me search for a PPA you could use, hold on | 19:45 |
| skyline | jrib: I pasted my input and output | 19:46 |
| witakr | I appoligize for the confusion but yes. Now that I remember the app I used in windows when I had windows mentioned it was an ANNOTATION program | 19:46 |
| isasha | Hai | 19:46 |
| puddle | either way is there a way to install the latest before 12.10?:p | 19:46 |
| isasha | I have an issue with my display. It's telling me that the input mode is not supported, even in failsafeX mode… any ideas | 19:46 |
| isasha | ? | 19:46 |
| puddle | islandmonkey, ty :) | 19:46 |
| jrib | ChrisWere: if you're speaking to someone specific, please address them. If not, then no one knows what you are talking about and you should just ask your (detailed) question on one line and be patient | 19:46 |
| witakr | jrib, ^^ forgot to add yu name to the line lol read up..lol | 19:46 |
| ChrisWere | jrib: They just went offline. Now I'm stuck in the middle of my probelm | 19:46 |
| isasha | jrib: should I be patient too? | 19:47 |
| isasha | for some reason people always forget what I asked | 19:47 |
| puddle | come on guys jrib is trying to help | 19:47 |
| puddle | :) | 19:47 |
| ChrisWere | isasha: join the club looks like jrib is the only one here who actually knows anything | 19:47 |
| jrib | isasha: it''s safe to repeat ~10 minutes depending on traffic in case someone else can help | 19:47 |
| isasha | oh | 19:47 |
| isasha | ok | 19:47 |
| jrib | skyline: you need to provide the url here in the channel to your pastebin | 19:48 |
| puddle | ChrisWere, i dont think it is a good idea to say that loud | 19:48 |
| islandmonkey | puddle: Well, there is the GNOME testing PPA: https://launchpad.net/~ricotz/+archive/testing | 19:48 |
| puddle | *out | 19:48 |
| skyline | jrib:http://paste.ubuntu.com/1275529/ | 19:48 |
| jrib | witakr: I would just google "annotate pdf ubuntu" and look for hints. One that comes up is "xournal" so you might try that | 19:48 |
| puddle | islandmonkey, well ty im not that brave:p | 19:49 |
| isasha | witakr: Xournal is actually real good | 19:49 |
| isasha | I use it to take notes in class with my gfx tablet | 19:49 |
| Jayflux | hey guys, when i do add user <username> pass for a user, they cannot log in to ftp. But when i do passwd <pass again> they can. | 19:49 |
| jrib | skyline: try "/sbin/iptables" | 19:49 |
| Jayflux | Whats going on? | 19:49 |
| witakr | jrib && isasha word. That sounds good I will check that. Thanks a ton. | 19:49 |
| Jayflux | adduser <username> -p pass I mean.. | 19:49 |
| puddle | islandmonkey, i just wanted a version that can actually install extensions since the one in the ubuntu repo is not allowing me to do so | 19:49 |
| jrib | Jayflux: uh, are you sure you are using adduser? | 19:49 |
| puddle | but testing ppa is too risky | 19:49 |
| skyline | jrib: i am getting error : "No such file or directory" | 19:49 |
| isasha | witakr: do you have a graphics tablet? | 19:50 |
| ChrisWere | puddle: I'm sorry It's just is takes me half a day for anyone to help me, considering how often ubuntu messes up on me, I lose a lot of work hours trying to fox ubuntu | 19:50 |
| Jayflux | jrib sorry I think i mean useradd | 19:50 |
| jrib | Jayflux: that expects a crypted password there :) | 19:50 |
| chuckf | Jayflux: can the user log into the shell and not ftp when you do it that way? | 19:50 |
| puddle | ChrisWere, if you dont like ittry something else, but I doubt theres a better distro out there | 19:50 |
| puddle | :p | 19:50 |
| Jayflux | no im trying to automate this as much as possible. Its going to be an automated system so its scripted | 19:50 |
| witakr | I have a couple tablets, Kindle Fire (I know...) and HP Touchpad with Cm9... is that what you mean? | 19:50 |
| Jayflux | chuckf jrib ^ | 19:51 |
| Jayflux | the end user won't have shell access | 19:51 |
| ChrisWere | puddle: I'm not dissing ubuntu as a distro, I'm just saying I spend a lot of time trying to fix it. | 19:51 |
| jrib | ChrisWere: you said you had the resolution before and then it just disappeared. I'd try to figure out why that happened (what changed?) if you have no other advice | 19:51 |
| witakr | isasha, or do you mean a tablet for graphics designers? | 19:51 |
| isasha | yeah | 19:51 |
| ChrisWere | jrib: nothing changed. I've even reinstalled | 19:51 |
| isasha | though the way you put it makes it sound expensive | 19:51 |
| jrib | !resolution | ChrisWere | 19:52 |
| ubottu | ChrisWere: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 19:52 |
| jrib | ChrisWere: there are some tips there for adding another resolution | 19:52 |
| puddle | ChrisWere, imagine back when debian was only installable through console no fancy stuff, that took some time, doing your kernel by hand :p | 19:52 |
| islandmonkey | puddle: That's funny. GNOME 3.2 is the version in precise (the one that supports extensions). | 19:52 |
| puddle | this is just child game | 19:52 |
| witakr | isasha, No. I don't I use a trackball. I want a tablet but I can't justify the expense because I do fine for my needs with my marble trackball | 19:52 |
| jrib | skyline: how did you install this ubuntu? | 19:52 |
| islandmonkey | puddle: And I need to go to the loo, wait one moment | 19:52 |
| puddle | islandmonkey, hm thats funny extnesions.gnome.org says i have a version that doesnt allow me to install them | 19:52 |
| isasha | you'll be able to find one for less than 50$, and they're amazing | 19:52 |
| Treize | is there a universal method in linux to set default programs or does it depend on the desktop environment? for example setting the default text editor for .txt | 19:52 |
| isasha | I have a Wacom Bamboo pen & touch, and it's phenomenal | 19:53 |
| ChrisWere | puddle: I guess ubuntu isn't stable yet. Hopefully one day it'll get there | 19:53 |
| isasha | Several other people now do the same thing because of me | 19:53 |
| witakr | isasha, I hear they are really nice to have. I like to draw and sketch and that would, I would think, be a fairly easy transition for me. | 19:53 |
| puddle | ChrisWere, wel the last 10 years I was waiting for Linux to become as you say stable | 19:53 |
| puddle | didnt happen so far:P | 19:54 |
| puddle | I wouldnt wait for that to happen anytime soon, but itsg etting there, thus im considering leaving windows completely | 19:54 |
| witakr | isasha, you mean for actual graphics design or for normal everyday use? | 19:54 |
| isasha | well the fact that my mom can use it straight away should give you an indication of how easy it is | 19:54 |
| ChrisWere | puddle: I know right. It's cost me a fortune | 19:54 |
| Beta2K | Hello all | 19:54 |
| isasha | witakr: both actually | 19:55 |
| Beta2K | Anyone run into mysql deciding not to start after a reboot on 12.04? | 19:55 |
| puddle | ChrisWere, what did cost you a fortune? | 19:55 |
| puddle | -.- | 19:55 |
| jrib | Beta2K: no one | 19:55 |
| ChrisWere | puddle: using ubuntu on my computer I use for work | 19:55 |
| jrib | Beta2K: (you should just say what your issue is) | 19:55 |
| puddle | Beta2K, what did you do to it before restart? OO | 19:56 |
| witakr | isasha, hmm. Sounds interesting. Maybe I will have to check it out. Can you suggest a good model for graphics design? | 19:56 |
| Beta2K | I had mysqld running, added some databases, a few weeks and reboots go by, go to use it again and it's not running | 19:56 |
| isasha | witakr: well I dunno | 19:56 |
| puddle | ChrisWere, I do not want to be a jerk but thats probably not Ubuntu's fault | 19:56 |
| skyline | jrib: I downloaded this from my college website. I am competing in a challenge given by my professor. I am new to linux. | 19:56 |
| Beta2K | try to start it with sudo service mysql start and get "start: Job failed to start" | 19:56 |
| isasha | I just use a Wacom Bamboo, the cheapest one I could find with decent reviews | 19:56 |
| jrib | Beta2K: can you start it now, with the "service" command? | 19:56 |
| gswain | so is it pretty easy to grow and shrink the size of and lxc container? | 19:56 |
| jrib | skyline: downloaded what exactly? Some sort of virtual image? | 19:56 |
| islandmonkey | puddle: Right, back. | 19:56 |
| skyline | yes | 19:56 |
| gregor3005 | is it possible to install ubuntu on a given encrypted partition with lvm? | 19:56 |
| Beta2K | Nothing appears to be going into the mysql logs | 19:57 |
| puddle | ChrisWere, first off you should not use a system for work if you are not experienced with it | 19:57 |
| islandmonkey | !lvm | gregor3005 | 19:57 |
| ubottu | gregor3005: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 19:57 |
| isasha | The resolution isn't as good as I would like it to be, but more than enough for every day use. You could go up all the way to a Cintiq which costs like 2000 bucks… so it's up to you witakr | 19:57 |
| puddle | islandmonkey, okay ty for the help btw | 19:57 |
| jrib | skyline: well it's a pretty strange ubuntu install if you don't have /sbin/iptables. What happens when you try to use apt-get (use pastebin)? | 19:57 |
| thechaser | i know thius is prolly the wrong place to ask... but there irc channel isnt work anyone know anything about aircrack? | 19:57 |
| timer_ | Hi | 19:57 |
| puddle | ChrisWere, you should work on a system you know and learn the one you desire to use later on, thats what im doing | 19:57 |
| islandmonkey | puddle: OK, so make sure you are installing them while on GNOME | 19:58 |
| ChrisWere | puddle: perhaps but they say it's far more stable than it is. They say the communtiy support is better than it is. But I've been using ubuntu for a good few years, and it still comes up with bugs and errors I've never seen before | 19:58 |
| jrib | thechaser: sorry, not supported here | 19:58 |
| skyline | jrib: how can I record the input and output from the command line? | 19:58 |
| isasha | thechaser: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=how+to+use+aircrack | 19:58 |
| jrib | skyline: are you in a graphical environment? | 19:58 |
| puddle | ChrisWere, thats because Linux is actually being developed continuously | 19:58 |
| Flannel | isasha: Please never answer questions like that. Thanks. | 19:58 |
| thechaser | thanks.. uyeah i just had a small problem but figured it out sorry for the bother | 19:58 |
| Beta2K | there's a bit in the syslog about init: mysql main process being terminated and respawned | 19:58 |
| skyline | no. I am in shell | 19:58 |
| puddle | whilst other systems are only fixed from time to time and only major releases are new | 19:58 |
| isasha | Flannel: :D | 19:58 |
| timer_ | I have a problem with serial connection | 19:58 |
| jrib | !who | Beta2K | 19:59 |
| ubottu | Beta2K: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 19:59 |
| Beta2K | tas well as type=1400 audit(1350071838.574:39): apparmor="STATUS" operation="profile_replace" name="/usr/sbin/mysqld" pid=2555 comm="apparmor_parser" | 19:59 |
| puddle | islandmonkey, thatsa no brainer:p | 19:59 |
| timer_ | I use cutecom and it doesn't connect | 19:59 |
| islandmonkey | puddle: Are you using Chrome? | 19:59 |
| puddle | yup | 19:59 |
| islandmonkey | puddle: Right, try using Firefox. | 19:59 |
| puddle | islandmonkey, okay gona try that | 19:59 |
| timer_ | but in /proc/tty/driver/serial is an uart | 19:59 |
| Beta2K | jrib, sorry I was trying to give as much information to everyone hoping someon had seen this behaviour before | 20:00 |
| witakr | isasha, lol if I made graphics design my profession then i could see spending 2k on one but I think my limit might be in the 100-200 range..lol | 20:00 |
| ChrisWere | puddle: anyways.after all this advice I still can't get the resolution 1280x960 to show up in nvidia-settings | 20:00 |
| isasha | you may want to check out your junkyard, I wound a Wacom Intuos 3 there a couple of months ago | 20:00 |
| witakr | isasha, Half the fun of buying things online for me in the research and reading reviews so i think when I am ready to actually buy I will find something suitable. | 20:01 |
| jrib | Beta2K: can you verify there's no "mysqld" process running? Then I'd suggest trying to start it without using "service" and instead just calling the command the service command tries to call (I don't know how to really debug upstart services) | 20:01 |
| puddle | ChrisWere, I am just thinking out loud but back when we had to configure x by xorg.conf or whatever, we only had to add it to the file and it worked | 20:01 |
| isasha | witakr: are you going to use it for taking notes or for graphic design though? | 20:01 |
| puddle | maybe something similiar will work for you too? | 20:01 |
| Beta2K | jrib, no mysqld isn't running (ps xa | grep mysql) | 20:01 |
| puddle | Beta2K, usually when something like this happens means you did something that breaks the server, config or peration | 20:02 |
| ChrisWere | puddle: every time someone on here's told me to edit x, it's always broken it | 20:02 |
| puddle | ChrisWere, well that is tricky but backup your conf before editing | 20:03 |
| puddle | and you are all set even if u mess it up | 20:03 |
| crazydip | ChrisWere: ware you using open or closed source drivers? | 20:03 |
| Beta2K | puddly, I haven't touched the config, but it may have been upgraded by apt | 20:03 |
| Eagleman | Any idea about this: WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated! | 20:03 |
| Eagleman | linux-libc-dev | 20:03 |
| puddle | id try to remove mysql and reinstall it maybe that will help | 20:03 |
| Eagleman | SHould i proceed? | 20:03 |
| puddle | but maybe someone clever will give u a better advice | 20:03 |
| puddle | tho apt will only update to stable release | 20:04 |
| puddle | so i doubt its the case | 20:04 |
| Beta2K | Problem with removing mysql-server is I'll loose the databases :) | 20:04 |
| witakr | isasha, graphics design and probably nothing else. I have an unnatural adoration for my trackball...lol I love using my track ball. But I do quite a bit of graphics design for my own purposes and so then it wouldn't be a device I would use for normal computer use. just graphics design. | 20:04 |
| islandmonkey | Eagleman: Yes | 20:04 |
| puddle | did you work on your databases before restart? | 20:04 |
| puddle | i mean in that session | 20:04 |
| isasha | Ok then you should probably get a used intuos | 20:05 |
| isasha | it's cheaper than a new one | 20:05 |
| jrib | please use #ubuntu-offtopic for the non-support discussions | 20:05 |
| Eagleman | islandmonkey isnt it unsafe? | 20:05 |
| islandmonkey | Eagleman: Do sudo apt-get update and if anything fishy comes up at the end (like apt moaning about invalid signatures), try this: http://pastie.org/pastes/5044988/text | 20:06 |
| timer_ | can someone help me with an uart-connection? | 20:06 |
| kthxbye | sudo apt-get is the god command | 20:06 |

| [twisti] | to support, as far as i can tell, dynamic updating of email protocols, because theres a new one every week | 20:09 |
| [twisti] | yes | 20:09 |
| Eagleman | jrib looks like it is coming from ubuntu | 20:09 |
| jrib | Eagleman: pastebin | 20:09 |
| jrib | FloatingGoat: it's actually called... *drumroll*... NetworkManager | 20:10 |
| Eagleman | http://pastebin.com/mQC2S978 | 20:10 |
| kthxbye | its ALL AMD64 | 20:10 |
| crazydip | timer_: check out gtkterm or http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/find-out-linux-serial-ports-with-setserial/ | 20:10 |
| [twisti] | i just want to find out how to enable pop3s | 20:10 |
| Eagleman | it comes from security but the package isnt secure | 20:10 |
| jrib | Eagleman: can you pastebin the warning you got earlier too? | 20:10 |
| Eagleman | WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated! | 20:11 |
| Lockscreen | The entire project will need about 250 machines, and I want them to be dumb thin clients with no hard drive running a virtualized mirror of the server OS. want them to have Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Someone told me that the best way is a BSD server with cage linux for the clients, is that true? What system specs would I choose for both the clients and the server machine? | 20:11 |
| Eagleman | linux-libc-dev | 20:11 |
| jrib | [twisti]: try #dovecot I suppose. And if the guide is wrong, I'd urge you to file a bug | 20:11 |
| FloatingGoat | whats the name for instalatiom via terminal | 20:11 |
| jrib | Eagleman: can you pastebin the full outptu? It's easier for me to keep track of things | 20:11 |
| islandmonkey | Eagleman: Then it's OK, it's probably related to a problem I had | 20:11 |
| jrib | !apt | FloatingGoat | 20:11 |
| ubottu | FloatingGoat: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) | 20:11 |
| [twisti] | jrib: its not wrong. its the guide for 10. it has nothing to do with 12, everything in it is for 10, not 12 | 20:12 |
| Eagleman | http://pastebin.com/xBmvpTxD | 20:12 |
| jrib | [twisti]: then it's wrong since it's in the 12.04 guide | 20:12 |
| Eagleman | !guide [twisti] | 20:12 |
| Eagleman | Dont use guides, use manpages and build it urself | 20:12 |
| [twisti] | i suppose thats true | 20:12 |
| timer_ | @crazydip, thanks I will take a look | 20:12 |
| [twisti] | Eagleman: that doesnt seem like sensible advice for an ubuntu channel | 20:12 |
| [twisti] | that sounds like a recipie for having all future updates be worthless or mess up your homebrewed crap | 20:13 |
| [twisti] | if i wanted to build everything myself i would have chosen to go with something like linux from scratch | 20:13 |
| Eagleman | Not at all, i was talking about building the config files or editing them | 20:13 |
| jrib | Eagleman: run « sudo apt-get update » and confirm the warning remains | 20:13 |
| Eagleman | it did not | 20:14 |
| jrib | Eagleman: the warning went away? | 20:14 |
| Eagleman | Y | 20:15 |
| [twisti] | the config files are not the way dovecot expects them | 20:15 |
| Eagleman | Which config files? | 20:15 |
| [twisti] | its some weird dynamic crap that someone apparently decided was the new way for ubuntu 12 | 20:15 |
| islandmonkey | Eagleman: Did it come up with this at the end however (see line 424)?: http://pastebin.com/mjGE3Dbv | 20:15 |
| [twisti] | /etc/dovecot/* | 20:15 |
| [twisti] | its like 30 files that get dynamically included for god knows what purpose | 20:16 |
| jrib | [twisti]: there might be something useful in /usr/share/doc/dovecot*/README.Debian | 20:16 |
| Eagleman | it did not | 20:16 |
| === JoseAntonioR is now known as JoseeAntonioR | ||
| islandmonkey | Oh nvm then | 20:17 |
| Eagleman | [twisti] those files are supposed to be there, read http://wiki2.dovecot.org/BasicConfiguration | 20:17 |
| phaedral | looking for laid-back, distro-agnostic, quick grasp of difference between ubuntu-studio and debian with the right tasksel | 20:17 |
| Eagleman | using turtorials or howto''s from google will get you even in more trouble, they are out of date or wrong | 20:18 |
| phaedral | Most important, I think, is getting the right kernel; don't know if the debian tasksel for av production does that automatically | 20:18 |
| phaedral | Eagleman: They're great...if one consumes wisely, checks the milk-carton before drinking, etc. | 20:19 |
| Eagleman | can i switch the kernel without restarting? | 20:19 |
| phaedral | Eagleman: +1 question, I want answer too. | 20:19 |
| genii-around | Eagleman: Not usually | 20:20 |
| islandmonkey | Eagleman: I think that's impossible. | 20:20 |
| Eagleman | doing an apt-get dist-upgrade and was wondering, i remembered my teacher saying something about it | 20:20 |
| [twisti] | Eagleman: thanks, i must have been looking at the 1.x wiki | 20:20 |
| genii-around | islandmonkey: With ksplice it's possible | 20:20 |
| Eagleman | [twisti] i had the same problem | 20:20 |
| phaedral | I think I've actually got my question sorted out and feel a little bad about starting at the wrong end of it, and in the wrong channel. :( | 20:20 |
| puddle | islandmonkey, you were right firefox solved my issue:p | 20:22 |
| puddle | ty | 20:22 |
| islandmonkey | puddle: There has been a longstanding issue with Chrome (and other WebKit browsers) that means the site is unable to check the version of GNOME running | 20:24 |
| islandmonkey | !yay | puddle | 20:25 |
| ubottu | puddle: Glad you made it! :-) | 20:25 |
| AresTheLion | question, backports are kind of badly described at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports, can someone describe them to me? | 20:25 |
| Dr_willis_ | !backports | 20:28 |
| ubottu | If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging | 20:28 |
| puddle | islandmonkey, well i shouldve known since im a webdeveloper, thought of it but i was like, nah it must be something else | 20:28 |
| puddle | :P | 20:28 |
| JoeyJoeJo | How can I add an option to the kernel line in grub.cfg? | 20:29 |
| Dr_willis_ | So a version of say... gedit in 12.10 might/could get 'backported' to earlier releases. | 20:29 |
| Dr_willis_ | But its not really common. ;) | 20:29 |
| === milind is now known as abyss42 | ||
| AresTheLion | So, if im going to download crunchbang is it necessary to get backports? | 20:29 |
| guntbert | JoeyJoeJo: edit /etc/default/grub (and remember to rund sudo update-grub afterwards) | 20:29 |
| puddle | hm wish everpad would work under gnome -.- | 20:30 |
| Dr_willis_ | backports is a repository of some packages... | 20:30 |
| jayar | when i'm using rythm box, i make the playlist, then send to burn, and it opens Brasero, but it burns it as audio CD... | 20:30 |
| Dr_willis_ | AresTheLion, cruchbang has its own support channels you may want to ask this on. | 20:30 |
| jayar | how do i tell it to burn an mp3 cd (data) ? | 20:30 |
| AresTheLion | Dr_willis, Yes, but backports are native to Ubuntu I thought | 20:30 |
| Dr_willis_ | AresTheLion, no idea how crunchbang uses the defaultubuntu repos or not. | 20:31 |
| AresTheLion | kay | 20:31 |
| Dr_willis_ | its just a 'specialized' repository for containign apps that might have been bacported from newer releases | 20:31 |
| ChrisWere | puddle: okay so I've tried just about everything. I'm still at a loss | 20:34 |
| puddle | ChrisWere, whats the issue again? I am kinda lost atm | 20:34 |
| ChrisWere | puddle: my screen resolution 1280x960 has disappeared from nvidia-settings | 20:35 |
| puddle | ow yeah | 20:35 |
| ChrisWere | puddle: i thought it might have had something to do with dual monitors but I've removed my second | 20:35 |
| puddle | well you either search for an other driver (remove existing one before of course) or reinstall it remove old before again | 20:36 |
| puddle | that is what I would do | 20:36 |
| puddle | well it very well could be that | 20:36 |
| ChrisWere | puddle: my driver is the offical nvidia one. I can't get support from anywhere if i change it out. | 20:36 |
| puddle | well i wouldnt expect much from the official one | 20:36 |
| ChrisWere | puddle:removing my 2nd monitor was the first thing I did. Considdering Linux is designed for vteran computer users, I think it's really silly that support for dual monitors isn't that great. The offical one is the only one that seems to have any support or endorsment | 20:37 |
| puddle | i doubt that but maybe someone more experienced can help you with it more then I can | 20:38 |
| islandmonkey | Can MATE be used with Unity installed? | 20:38 |
| ChrisWere | puddle: yeh but there's no-one mroe experienced here | 20:38 |
| puddle | i doubt taht too:p | 20:39 |
| MaskilPDX | ChrisWere, You may have already said this, 32 or 64 bit? | 20:39 |
| islandmonkey | Or, to rephrase that, is there a way for MATE to work without uninstalling Unity | 20:39 |
| islandmonkey | ? | 20:39 |
| puddle | islandmonkey, what are you using now? unity? | 20:39 |
| islandmonkey | Yep | 20:39 |
| ChrisWere | MaskilPDX: I'm running 64bit version of ubuntu | 20:39 |
| puddle | islandmonkey, well cinnamon, kde, gnome unity works here for me all installed | 20:39 |
| MaskilPDX | I had issues with 64, went to 32bit | 20:40 |
| puddle | mate should i guess work too | 20:40 |
| MaskilPDX | ChrisWere, Expecially with video | 20:40 |
| ChrisWere | MaskillPDX: I considdered that, but I have 8gig of ram | 20:40 |
| Dr_willis_ | cant say ive had any issues with 64bit on my nvidia systems. | 20:40 |
| puddle | 64bithere too but i did not use my 2nd monitor yet tho | 20:40 |
| islandmonkey | puddle: I know it doesn't work, I was asking if there was a way for MATE to work with Unity installed. :) | 20:41 |
| MaskilPDX | Me too. 32 bit with pae kernel, no problem | 20:41 |
| Dr_willis_ | islandmonkey, id have to suggest the mate homepage/forum/support areas since its not part of ubuntu;s repos | 20:41 |
| puddle | islandmonkey, yeah I noticed I was just trying to say it should work as the other ones do :P | 20:41 |
| ChrisWere | MaskillPDX: It used to work okay. But today for some reason it didn't want to comply. | 20:41 |
| MaskilPDX | ChrisWere, ok | 20:41 |
| MaskilPDX | Just a thought | 20:42 |
| ChrisWere | MaskilPDX: And to be honest everytime I come on here for advice, the useual advice I get is to do a re-install or to switch distros. I'd rather not do that this time | 20:43 |
| MaskilPDX | ChrisWere, I understand. I did not have any issues with 64 bit 12.10 when it first came out. | 20:44 |
| MaskilPDX | I just stuck with 32 bit and pae. No reason to go 64 bit | 20:45 |
| MaskilPDX | maybe next week, it will be better? | 20:45 |
| MaskilPDX | with the release of 12.10 | 20:45 |
| ChrisWere | MaskillPDX: I lose 4 gig of RAM if I go 32bit | 20:45 |
| Dr_willis_ | 64bit can be a bit faster in compiutationally intense tasks. :) like viden reencoding | 20:45 |
| Dr_willis_ | PAE kernel lets you use all your ram Chris_0076 | 20:45 |
| Dr_willis_ | oops chrisward | 20:45 |
| Dr_willis_ | I give up. ;P | 20:46 |
| MaskilPDX | ChrisWere, With the pae kernel, you can access all your RAM | 20:46 |
| jayar | how do i share the CD burner, so i can burn from a windows machine? | 20:46 |
| Dr_willis_ | ive seen some 'benchmarks' a year+ back that showed pae kernel a little slower then 64bit kernel. | 20:46 |
| MaskilPDX | I have 8gb on 32 bit | 20:46 |
| bekks | So you cant use more than 4GB per thread. | 20:47 |
| ChrisWere | MaskillPDX oh interesting. Do you install PAE kernal from the repos? | 20:47 |
| Dr_willis_ | pae kernel is the default for 32bit installes i think on 12.04+ | 20:47 |
| Dr_willis_ | except on Lubuntu and perhaps xubuntu. | 20:47 |
| MaskilPDX | Installs automaticly | 20:48 |
| flash_ | Hi guys. I need a lifesaver. I have just accidentally copied one file to another location and overwritten the destination file. I need that file back. How do I do it? | 20:48 |
| MaskilPDX | yea Dr_willis_ | 20:48 |
| RWOverdi1k | Gwibber is not connecting to facebook. It's just saying "Success" and that's it. Why? | 20:48 |
| bekks | flash_: By grabbing your backup and restoring that file from your backup. | 20:49 |
| flash_ | I have not manually created a backup. | 20:50 |
| bekks | Then you've lost that file. | 20:50 |
| flash_ | It's a php file that I've opened with vim. | 20:50 |
| flash_ | Is there some way it might have been saved to some location? | 20:50 |
| bekks | flash_: Nope. | 20:51 |
| bekks | flash_: Do you have the original file still open in some vim? | 20:51 |

| ChrisWere | so guys is that what the leading piece of advice is? reinstall my distro? | 20:58 |
| Dr_willis_ | ChrisWere, im not clear on what the original problem is/was/ ;) | 20:58 |
| ChrisWere | Dr_willis_: cricky! if I'm not being told to be patient, I'm being told to repeat the problem YET AGAIN! I can't get the resolution 1280x960 to appear in my Nvidia-Config and it was there this morning | 20:59 |
| gridwest | Does the Python library miniUPnP come with ubuntu 12.04? | 21:00 |
| Dr_willis_ | so theres higher res's avail? or you have lost the highest it could do? | 21:00 |
| yekoms | everytime i issue 'apt-get install package' i get FATAL -> Failed to fork., ive googled and found that im out of ram, what else can cause this? | 21:00 |
| crazydip | ChrisWere: you're not paying attention | 21:00 |
| ChrisWere | Dr_willis_:I've lost the highest I could do, it's just dissapeared | 21:00 |
| ChrisWere | crazydip:what?! | 21:01 |
| crazydip | ChrisWere: are you using open or closed source nvidia drivers? | 21:01 |
| Dr_willis_ | ChrisWere, but all the other res's are still there? this a hdmi or vga monitor? or built in laptop? | 21:01 |
| bekks | yekoms: Investigate the output of "ps aux" | 21:01 |
| Dr_willis_ | what is the hightest res it will let you do? | 21:01 |
| yekoms | thats what i thought, i dont get the error, but someone installing eggdrop via apt-get is. | 21:01 |
| ChrisWere | crazy: it's a vga, I used to have to have a 2nd which was a vga going to a HDMI through a converter | 21:01 |
| bekks | yekoms: Pastebin the output please. | 21:02 |
| ChrisWere | Dr_willis_ :the resolutions go up to 1152x864 | 21:02 |
| Dr_willis_ | this is a LCD monitor? Some of the res's seem very... weird. ;) | 21:03 |
| ChrisWere | Dr_willis_:No it's a regular one | 21:03 |
| Dr_willis_ | its an old fashioned VGA Tube type Moniotor that can do 1280x960? Thats somthing id never seen befor. | 21:04 |
| MindALot | ubuntu masters, I need your help | 21:04 |
| ChrisWere | Dr_willis_: does this mean your giving up on me? | 21:04 |
| MindALot | specifically - I cannot seem to find a way to change my default sound to NOT use my headset when it is plugged in | 21:05 |
| MindALot | note : currently, not running pulseaudio, speakers do work if I unplug the headset from the front jack | 21:05 |
| Dr_willis_ | ChrisWere, how i recall it working. X/drivers query the monitor and the monitor reports back wht modes it can handle. those hdmi/vga adaptors can confuse the process. but you said its just a straight vga connection correct? | 21:05 |
| ChrisWere | Dr_willis_: yeah it's only when I try using the 2nd monitor where I need to use a converter | 21:06 |
| MaskilPDX | Dr_willis_, Bad able maybe? | 21:06 |
| MaskilPDX | sorry.. cable | 21:06 |
| Dr_willis_ | well for starters id run the 'nvidia-settings' tool and make sure you are in fact using the nvidia driver, not some other driver. I think the xrandr command can report what modes the monitor 'reports' back that it can use. double check that the mode is being reported back. | 21:07 |
| Dr_willis_ | it might be possible to have xrandr force the mode. | 21:07 |
| ChrisWere | Dr_willis_ what command would I use to get xrandr to force the mode? | 21:09 |
| Dr_willis_ | not sure. ive not used xrandr in ages.. Im on a windows box so cant check its options | 21:10 |
| Dr_willis_ | i tend to just set my res to the native of the lcd and thats where it stays. ;) | 21:10 |
| genii-around | ChrisWere: There's some xrandr examples at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 21:11 |
| Dr_willis_ | used to be xrandr diddnet work properly with the nvidia drivers i recall. but i thought it has been updated these days. | 21:12 |
| ChrisWere | genii-around: I'm still a bit lost, any chance of a hand? | 21:12 |
| genii-around | ChrisWere: I'm not going to be here long enough, leaving work shortly. | 21:13 |
| zykotick9 | Dr_willis_: rotate can still be an issue with nvidia & xrandr. "issue" but still possible ;) | 21:13 |
| TJ- | Dr_willis_: the latest nvidia v304+ introduced full RandR support | 21:14 |
| zykotick9 | TJ-: good to know, thanks. | 21:15 |
| ChrisWere | so what do this mean? | 21:15 |
| ChrisWere | i don't know how much more of this i can take | 21:17 |
| TJ- | ChrisWere: Have you pastebinned the "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" yet? That will reveal what the drivers know about the monitor | 21:18 |

| TJ- | ChrisWere: I'd wiggle the connectors and cables if I were you! | 21:21 |
| Chris_0076 | TJ-, ok, will do | 21:21 |
| ChrisWere | tj-: really? | 21:22 |
| trism | javierf_: you can't tell just by looking at them, because each indicator can have multiple entries and they can be sorted separately, which are you curious about? | 21:22 |
| kulitorum | After changing monitor to an old 1920x1080 monitor, my resolution is 640x480 and I can't make it any higher. The monitor is using a 15pin D-SUB connector, so I guess there's no data communication. What do I do? | 21:23 |

| javierf_ | trism, thanks, I'm trying to work with user status icons, those that show, for example in empathy, if you are online, not available, invisible... | 21:24 |
| TJ- | ChrisWere: Log-out and log-in to the GUI should be enough | 21:25 |
| trism | javierf_: ahh that would be indicator-messages which in 12.04 is manipulated with libindicate but in 12.10 will be using libmessaging-menu | 21:25 |
| _Trullo | how is this line gonna look in fstab? sudo mount -t aufs -o br:/media/1/dir1=RO:/media/2/dir2=RO \ none /mnt/dir3 | 21:25 |
| TJ- | Dr_willis_: Looks like ChrisWere's PC is using the v295 nvidia drivers, so it won't have full xrandr support (only that metamode silliness) | 21:26 |
| kulitorum | Where is xorg.conf? | 21:26 |
| zykotick9 | kulitorum: doesn't exist, by default. | 21:27 |
| zykotick9 | kulitorum: but /etc/X11/xorg.conf if it does ;) | 21:27 |
| javierf_ | trism, but, what I know if that, changing icon theme, those icons change. Thing is, those in my icon theme are not displayed nicely, and I would like to go to that icon-set and changing those icons for some I like more. I've done that before succesfully, but this time I can't figure out how to do it. I found where those icons where places (status->48), removed them and place new ones with the same name at the same place. But I don't get it to display the | 21:29 |
| javierf_ | icons I placed there (which where 24 pix instead of 48 cause I didn't have the 48 ones) but other ones that I have no idea where are them. So, now it's just a matter of discovering how to do such thing and why those I wanted are not displayed | 21:29 |

| yeehi | thanks zykotick9 | 21:32 |
| yeehi | i have waited a long time in #backtrack and nobody has replied | 21:33 |
| kulitorum | I added modes "1280x1024" to my xorg.conf, but I still can only select 640x480 in displays. How can I force higher resolution? (there's no resolutions listed under "Monitor" should there be?) | 21:33 |
| tiox | lsusb brought up three devices; Two from Alcor, the SD card reader and TruInstall storage space, and one being the actual modem itself. usb-modeswitch isn't working. | 21:33 |
| pepee | kulitorum, in the console use xrandr | 21:33 |
| tiox | How can I fix this? I found the stock config file in /usr/share/usb-modeswitch/configPack.tar.gz. | 21:33 |
| zykotick9 | kulitorum: what video card? | 21:33 |
| yeehi | i think that it is strange that updating librex starts a trojan | 21:33 |
| TJ- | ChrisWere: Yes, so that the X server can get the EDID from the monitor again. If that doesn't work - and as it was working until this morning, I would be considering and inspecting the physical connections of the monitor to the PC for any possible minute changes | 21:34 |
| kulitorum | xrandr lists 640x480 and 320x240 | 21:34 |
| kulitorum | Quadro 4600 | 21:34 |
| kulitorum | ..or maybe 4700 | 21:34 |
| zykotick9 | kulitorum: "lspci | grep -i vga" | 21:34 |
| kulitorum | It worked fine on another 1920x1200 monitor, but this one is connected with a 15pin d-sub | 21:35 |
| kulitorum | NVIDIA Corporation G80 [Quadro FX 4600] (rev a2) | 21:35 |
| kulitorum | so I guess there's no data communication | 21:35 |
| TJ- | kulitorum: If you are using the nvidia proprietary driver, you'll need to use the "Nvidia X Server Settings" application | 21:35 |
| javierf_ | trism, thanks a lot! i'm in 12.10 | 21:35 |
| kulitorum | That also only lists 640x480 | 21:35 |
| kulitorum | Should xorg.conf have resolutions under the "monitor" section? | 21:36 |
| TJ- | kulitorum: Check "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" see if the driver is getting a valid EDID from the monitor? | 21:36 |
| kulitorum | Probably not | 21:36 |
| TJ- | kulitorum: In the "Screen" section - in the "Monitor" section you put the Horizontal/Vertical refresh frequencies | 21:36 |
| trism | javierf_: it seems the ones you need to replace are user-available user-away user-busy user-idle user-invisible and user-offline | 21:36 |
| kulitorum | it's hard in 640x480 :) - what should I search for? | 21:36 |
| kulitorum | TJ- Check, that's there. Looks resonable | 21:37 |
| trism | javierf_: as an aside the ones from Faenza-Dark are pretty nice | 21:37 |
| Num83rGuy | I have tried all methods that I can find to get my D-Link DWL 520 wireless card working. All of them make the card disappear. It is automatically detected as an intersil ISL3874 using the prism 2.5 / prism 3 drivers. Everything seems to work but, it doesn't detect any signal and has no mac address. | 21:37 |
| TJ- | kulitorum: The frequencies allow the driver to check that that the monitor can accept any modes that are selected | 21:37 |
| javierf_ | trism, but, where do I have to place icons with those manes? | 21:38 |
| ChrisWere | tj-:done that, no luck i'm afraid | 21:38 |
| kulitorum | (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Unable to read EDID for display device CRT-1 | 21:38 |
| kulitorum | Can I force the resolution? | 21:38 |
| trism | javierf_: in your icon theme? it doesn't really matter where you put them because they are loaded by name, but if the icon theme is cached (say if you updated a system theme) you would probably need to update the cache | 21:38 |
| trism | javierf_: but usually you would just put them in your theme in ~/.icons/ThemeName | 21:39 |
| TJ- | ChrisWere: I'm out of ideas, sorry. Monitors are known to spontaneously corrupt their EDID internally, even in the EEPROM (firmware), but it's usually caused by an electrical 'spike' or lightening strike. Can you test that monitor on another PC? | 21:39 |
| kulitorum | HorizSync 28.0 - 33.0 | 21:39 |
| kulitorum | VertRefresh 43.0 - 72.0 | 21:39 |
| trism | javierf_: that is, as long as the directory is mentioned in index.theme | 21:39 |
| TJ- | ChrisWere: If it doesn't work on another PC you know its' the monitor - otherwise, you can focus on what's up with the video card! | 21:39 |
| javierf_ | trism, aha, I see. I will see if it worked :) | 21:39 |
| ChrisWere | tj-:okay. thanks. | 21:40 |
| TJ- | ChrisWere: One last thing I've actually seen but not believed - someone managed to actually have the VGA connector's DATA pin break inside the housing --- I only found because I unplugged both ends of the VGA lead and pressed my thumb against the pins in the connector and the DATA pin fell out! | 21:40 |
| CrazyGir | how are you "supposed" to set the domainname on a ubuntu system? in hostname manpage it explicitly says not to put the full fqdn in /etc/hostname, yet all the forums say to do so | 21:41 |
| TJ- | kulitorum: There are webpages that can generate the correct modes for the Screen section of xorg.conf if you give them the frequency-range of the monitor. | 21:42 |
| javierf_ | trism, please, how to update cache without logging out? | 21:42 |
| TJ- | kulitorum: But first, I'd suggest you search for that monitor's correct frequency range! | 21:42 |
| kulitorum | I just want one resolution, 1920x1080 | 21:42 |
| internetN00b | ubuntu one is expensive :( | 21:42 |
| pepee | kulitorum, ask in #nvidia too | 21:43 |
| kulitorum | Hmmmm, It's not a monitor per-se - it's a panel that's used as a display in an airport terminal. So it don't have any real specifications : | 21:43 |
| kulitorum | :) | 21:43 |
| TJ- | kulitorum: I'd expect to be seeing something like "HorizSync 30.000-81.00" | 21:43 |
| doug1 | u | 21:43 |
| kulitorum | and vert? | 21:44 |
| TJ- | kulitorum: With the range you reported, it would only be able to do 800x600 max I'd guess | 21:44 |
| kulitorum | ...expected, that is :) | 21:44 |
| doug1 | linux gods... wtf is this running NOW and not in 5 min? echo RAN > /tmp/stat | at now + 5 min ? | 21:44 |
| pepee | kulitorum, tried removing xorg.conf? AFAIK it's not needed these days | 21:44 |
| kulitorum | trying... How do I restart X? | 21:44 |
| Riley | hi | 21:44 |
| TJ- | kulitorum: I'm not sure off top of my head, but as I said, there are web-pages that can generate this stuff for you. Give them frequencies, they give you modes. Give them modes (or max resolutions) and they'll give you frequencies | 21:44 |
| === Riley is now known as Guest28257 | ||

| doug1 | not patience? | 21:46 |
| Guest28257 | how do I install a downloaded driver | 21:46 |
| TJ- | ChrisWere: That's good news then! OK, last physical idea (and again, I've seen this!). If it's a PC (not a laptop/notebook) power it down, remove the cover, and physically re-seat the graphics card into its slot (undoing the retaining screw if necessary). I've known minute vibration to lift the front edge of a video card sufficiently to make some data lines intermittent. | 21:46 |
| javierf_ | trism, unfortunatelly, it didn't work. Now I don't see the old not wanted icon, but forbidden icons, what I believe that means that there is some kind of conflict there | 21:46 |
| trism | javierf_: where did you put the icons? | 21:46 |
| zykotick9 | trism: technically, supporting javierf_'s 12.10 install is OT here... just sayin' ;) | 21:47 |
| trism | zykotick9: indeed good point | 21:47 |
| trism | javierf_: can you hop over to #ubuntu+1? we can continue there | 21:48 |
| internetN00b | is it possible to set ubuntu to open all windows in the center of my screen? | 21:48 |
| javierf_ | trism, tzykotick9, sorry, my fault there | 21:48 |
| eutheria | is it possible to have gtk style tabs in thunderbird again, these swoopy style ones look out of place | 21:48 |
| ChrisWere | TJ-: I'll try that, jeez these errors do not do my depression any good. | 21:48 |
| kulitorum | TJ- It works now. Changing HorizSync to 30.000-81.00 and everything works as expected. Thanks :) | 21:52 |

| kulitorum | 3D printer connected there | 21:55 |
| Num83rGuy | I have tried all methods that I can find to get my D-Link DWL 520 wireless card working. All of them make the card disappear. It is automatically detected as an intersil ISL3874 using the prism 2.5 / prism 3 drivers. Everything seems to work but, it doesn't detect any signal and has no mac address. | 21:56 |
| blackshirt | kulitorum, what do you want ? | 21:56 |
| zykotick9 | kulitorum: you'll need to adjust udev rules. don't ask me how, i have no idea. good luck. | 21:56 |
| kulitorum | to be able to write to /dev/ttyusb0 without having to sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB0 after reboot | 21:57 |
| blackshirt | kulitorum, i mean, what are you trying to configure? Do you have some little programming ? | 21:58 |
| TJ- | kulitorum: What group owns that device node ("ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0") ? | 21:58 |
| TJ- | kulitorum: Usually, you'd add the user that needs to access the USB serial port to the group that owns the device node | 21:59 |
| TJ- | kulitorum: Often it's the "dialup" group | 21:59 |
| kulitorum | crwxrwxrwx 1 root dialout | 21:59 |
| TJ- | kulitorum: sorry, "dialout" group | 21:59 |
| kulitorum | yeap | 22:00 |
| kulitorum | How do I add me to that group? | 22:00 |

| kulitorum | nope | 22:00 |

It is automatically detected as an intersil ISL3874 using the prism 2.5 / prism 3 drivers. Everything seems to work but, it doesn't detect any signal and has no mac address. | 22:06 |

| ChrisWere | no same pc | 22:06 |
| TJ- | ChrisWere: So, same VGA cable and graphics card | 22:07 |
| ChrisWere | TJ-: evrything's the same, and it works in windows | 22:07 |
| TJ- | ChrisWere: That tells us its a software issue for sure then! I didn't expect that, with it not reading the EDID. I'm wondering about some subtle corruption to the operating system, possibly the nvidia driver | 22:07 |
| === tina-- is now known as violetina | ||
| ChrisWere | TJ-: It's weird that people here slag windows off so much, but for me it's had a lot fewer bugs than any linux distro | 22:08 |
| monopole | /ignore -channels #mwsf * JOINS PARTS QUITS NICKS | 22:09 |
| TJ- | ChrisWere: Have you tried reinstalling the nvidia driver? It might be something has got corrupted. "sudo apt-get --reinstall install nvidia-current-updates" ( or if you're not using -updates, then "sudo apt-get --reinstall install nvidia-current") | 22:09 |
| ChrisWere | TJ:- I've tried different versions of the Nvidia driver as well as reinstalling | 22:09 |
| ChrisWere | TJ-: I down graded and when tht didn't work I upgraded again | 22:10 |
| TJ- | ChrisWere: It very much depends on the hardware, and how much information the manufacturer provides about their hardware. Nvidia are one of several (like Atheros and Realtek) that don't, and that means Linux can't work as well as it should on that hardware. | 22:10 |
| Num83rGuy | ChrisWere: I have had the opposite experience, Linux being more stable than Windows. i use both and I will say that both have strong and weak points. | 22:10 |
| Dr_willis__ | definatly hae linux more stable then windows.. had to reinstall windows a few mo back to fix a '.net' problem... ;( scary | 22:11 |
| TJ- | ChrisWere: When you reinstalled the nvidia driver, did you also at that time try using the open-source nouveau driver whilst the nvidia driver was uninstalled? | 22:11 |
| ChrisWere | TJ-: I didn't actually, is the open-source nvidia driver any good? | 22:11 |
| Kylo | honestly, my biggest gripe is Netflix. I use linux for everything sans netflix, which i just VM into via and old XP | 22:12 |
| TJ- | ChrisWere: I'm thinking that a comparison of what the nouveau driver sees against what the nvidia driver is now seeing, may be useful to us | 22:12 |
| Dr_willis__ | ChrisWere, depends on your chipset. Works decently well for most ussage. 3d may not be as good. | 22:12 |
| Dr_willis__ | Kylo, :) i got a nice spare hdmi monitor for netflix with my boxee box. ;) or a roku | 22:12 |
| TJ- | ChrisWere: It has limited support for 3D acceleration depending on chipset - but the point is not to use it permanently, but use it to test this issue and see if it can read the EDID from the monitor when the nvidia driver can't | 22:13 |
| Kylo | i saw great results with my nvidia card, except it hated the nouveau driver, but disabling it and updating drivers fixed that | 22:13 |
| Kylo | yeah. i'm probably going to go roku to keep it in the family | 22:13 |
| ChrisWere | TJ-: Yeah they arn't raving about the nouveau drivers for nvidias | 22:13 |
| TJ- | ChrisWere: If nouveau were to read the EDID, then that'd would tell us that the nvidia driver is at fault here | 22:13 |
| TJ- | ChrisWere: That's down to Nvidia not publishing the information required, nor helping with the driver! Can't blame the Linux / Xorg developers for that | 22:14 |
| Kylo | I was under the impression that since you have to make drivers for Macs, which is somewhat a linux machine, why wouldn't you make the same drivers available for linux | 22:15 |
| gordonjcp | Kylo: o_O | 22:15 |
| bekks | Mac is not Linux at all. | 22:15 |
| gordonjcp | what have Macs got to do with Linux? | 22:16 |
| Kylo | well, make runs on bsd | 22:16 |
| gordonjcp | apart from, you can run Linux on some Macs | 22:16 |
| bekks | gordonjcp: The beautiful case :) | 22:16 |
| Kylo | mac* | 22:16 |
| gordonjcp | bekks: :-) | 22:16 |
| gordonjcp | Kylo: BSD isn't Linux | 22:16 |
| bekks | Kylo: And BSD is no Linux either. | 22:16 |
| gordonjcp | Kylo: not even remotely similar | 22:16 |
| Kylo | BSD is an offshoot of unix | 22:16 |
| Kylo | linux is based upon unix | 22:16 |
| bekks | Kylo: Erm, no :) | 22:16 |
| TJ- | Kylo: Wrong. | 22:16 |
| gordonjcp | Kylo: not really, no | 22:16 |
| Kylo | please explain | 22:16 |
| gordonjcp | Kylo: Linux and BSD share a common ancestor in Unix, kind of | 22:16 |
| TJ- | Kylo: Linux implements POSIX specifications, and some aspects of the SUS | 22:17 |
| gordonjcp | Kylo: but if anything Linux is based on Minix, not Unix | 22:17 |
| gordonjcp | and after a long and protracted legal case, it turns out it's not even based on Minix | 22:17 |
| TJ- | gordonjcp: Don't let Linux hear you say that :p | 22:17 |
| gordonjcp | it just happens to look the same | 22:17 |
| TJ- | oops, Linus | 22:17 |
| gordonjcp | TJ-: meh | 22:17 |
| ChrisWere | TJ-: Should I trying a reinstall? | 22:17 |
| gordonjcp | TJ-: Andy's cool with it | 22:18 |
| Kylo | I thought that Linus watched Unix and rewrote an OS based upon the model of Unix | 22:18 |
| axisys | did I just get a old battery? I ordered a new battery and IT guy a week later handed me over a battery all packaged.. for my hp 6730b | 22:18 |
| axisys | Battery 0: design capacity 5600 mAh, last full capacity 5269 mAh = 94% | 22:18 |
| TJ- | ChrisWere: That's a bit drastic! Uninstall the nvidia driver, reboot so the nouveau driver will be able to start, and then come back and let us see the "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" - lets find out if the EDID can be read and what it shows | 22:18 |
| axisys | why would a new battery say last full capacity 5269 mAh = 94% | 22:19 |
| axisys | it should be 100% if good and used .. at least | 22:19 |
| blackshirt | kylo,not just watched, | 22:19 |

| Kylo | i had a problem booting up with my old nvidia too. just added nomodeset and booted. installed drivers and removed all traces of the nouveau drivers | 22:22 |
| TJ- | ChrisWere: It's down to the hardware - if the developers aren't provided with the chipset data they can't do anything unless they have one of those devices and want to spend several weeks reverse-engineering what it does | 22:22 |
| ChrisWere | tj-: yea but it's ubuntu people who put that xsplash int hat makes it hang. Considering ubuntu is supposed to have this linux for all mentality, I chalk that down to 50/50 blame | 22:24 |

| Kylo | luke, i went to get an oil change and the company said i needed "This" so i said, ok... a week later my car broke down. i take it back and they say, you never needed "this"... i went on twitter.. i had my money back in my hands and all the repairs done for free in 2 day | 22:34 |
| axisys | Kylo: what's nmh? | 22:34 |
| axisys | i only have mAh | 22:34 |
| axisys | and percentage | 22:34 |
| Kylo | that's what i mean | 22:34 |
| axisys | Battery 0: design capacity 5600 mAh, last full capacity 5269 mAh = 94% | 22:34 |
| Kylo | mAh | 22:34 |
| axisys | but on my other (smaller) laptop with new battery | 22:35 |
| axisys | Battery 0: design capacity 4125 mAh, last full capacity 4125 mAh = 100% | 22:35 |
| Kylo | axisys sounds like a bad charge | 22:35 |
| lukecarrier | Kylo, somehow I remain unconvinced | 22:35 |
| lukecarrier | Thanks, though | 22:35 |
| ChrisWere | tj-: what do i need to send you? | 22:35 |
| Kylo | luke. post on twitter. they have social media scavangers that will contact you and try to get you to stop posting negative things | 22:35 |
| axisys | Kylo: IT just gave me the big battery saying it is new.. doubt it | 22:36 |
| Kylo | axisys... brand new batteries have to be fully charged first prior to use | 22:36 |
| axisys | Kylo: are you might be suggesting my laptop charger is bad | 22:36 |
| Kylo | should say that in the package | 22:36 |
| TJ- | ChrisWere: sorry, was a way. "/var/log/xorg.0.log" | 22:36 |
| Num83rGuy | axisys: Most batteries are not charged to full capacity for shipping because the "top" of the charge will dissipate rather quickly anyway and for most battery tech holding a 100% charge for extended periods can be harmful to the life of the battery. | 22:37 |
| ChrisWere | tj-: that file is blank | 22:37 |
| axisys | Kylo: it is 94% charged.. so either someone being nice and charged it all the before packaging it.. or it is a used battery and cant reach to its capacity cause it is already aged | 22:37 |
| TJ- | ChrisWere: Oh me and my typos!! | 22:37 |
| TJ- | ChrisWere: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" | 22:38 |
| Kylo | axisys: read what num83rguy said | 22:38 |
| axisys | Num83rGuy, Kylo : ok i will let it charge few hours.. but silly to charge it 94% as well before shipping to customer.. | 22:39 |
| ChrisWere | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1275838/ | 22:39 |
| ChrisWere | tj-: okay http://paste.ubuntu.com/1275838/ | 22:39 |
| axisys | actually i take it back.. it was not charged much .. only 6%.. but last full capacity still troubling | 22:39 |
| axisys | Battery 0: Charging, 6%, 01:49:32 until charged | 22:40 |
| axisys | Battery 0: design capacity 5600 mAh, last full capacity 5269 mAh = 94% | 22:40 |
| axisys | so it is a used battery and it is already aged | 22:40 |
| bekks | axisys: Nope. | 22:40 |
| bekks | axisys: It was just not fully charged for shipping. Despite you like that or not. | 22:40 |

| jimmers | http://fpaste.org/wBiy/ | 22:41 |
| axisys | bekks: which number are you referring? 6% or 94% ? | 22:41 |
| jimmers | sorry about that... | 22:41 |
| Num83rGuy | axisys: They are meant to be on a cycle of charge / discharge. Look up battery care for the type of battery you have be it NmH or Li-Po or other. The kind should be printed on the battery casing. For example if you have a Li-ion search Li-ion battery care and charging. | 22:41 |
| bekks | axisys: I was referring to your original problem with a not fully charged battery. | 22:42 |
| axisys | bekks: "last full capacity 5269 mAh = 94%" this means I werent succefully charged to 100% of design capacity.. if I am reading it correctly | 22:42 |

| TJ- | ChrisWere: It'll take me a few minutes to absorb the log, but I will be back to you | 22:43 |
| blackshirt | hi | 22:43 |
| bekks | axisys: Because it was not fully charged to 100% for shipping. As you've been already told. :) | 22:43 |
| jimmers | Hey guys, I attempted to run an update becuase I realized I hadn't in a while. I have 312 updates pending, and then I get an error that tells me to use the terminal to do apt-get install -f .... when running that I get the following error. any thoughts on how to proceed? http://fpaste.org/wBiy/ | 22:43 |
| axisys | bekks: no | 22:43 |
| axisys | bekks: Battery 0: Charging, 6%, 01:49:32 until charged | 22:44 |
| axisys | it is only charged 6% before shipping | 22:44 |
| axisys | 94% does not talk about how much charged.. it is talking about something else | 22:44 |
| axisys | one is how much charged before shipped and the other one how much it can be charged | 22:45 |
| bekks | axisys: And it tells you that it was just charged to 94% of what it could have been charged. | 22:45 |
| slackguru | Is it possible for a 32 bit kernel to execute 64 bit binaries under any circumstance? | 22:45 |
| bekks | axisys: Thats exactly what you've been told. | 22:46 |
| bekks | slackguru: No. | 22:46 |
| axisys | bekks: we will see.. i am letting it charged.. lets hope that is the case.. otherwise i have a old battery | 22:46 |
| Num83rGuy | axisys: Some types of batterys need a mostly charged state for long storage, some need a barely charged state. If the battery was mostly charged for storage/shipping and then sat for a while that charge will slowly dissipate. | 22:46 |
| jagginess | slackguru, not really.. but if you have a 64-bit physical processor.-- and you're running a 64-bit VM Os on a 32-bit operating system, then the 64-bit will run | 22:46 |
| slackguru | Okay bekks another question... | 22:46 |
| pepee | jimmers, try sudo apt-get install --reinstall grub-common grub-pc grub-pc-bin grub2-common | 22:47 |
| slackguru | I have code and it appears the flags in the code are dependent on being compiled with a 64 bit cross compiler... | 22:47 |
| Num83rGuy | axisys: The temperature the battery was stored in will also affect how fast that charge dissipation will take as well. | 22:48 |
| slackguru | can that code be parsed properly to be compiled by a 32 bit cross compiler of the same version? | 22:48 |
| bekks | slackguru: Depends on the code and the compiler. | 22:48 |
| rlw980 | I have a problem, how to a put a Android OS back onto my smartphone? | 22:48 |

| slackguru | bekks, can you give me an example? | 22:49 |
| slackguru | lol thanks jagginess | 22:49 |
| slackguru | Here | 22:49 |
| Num83rGuy | axisys: If the warehouse got hot for a few days or a week it could have sapped the charge much faster so that it was mostly discharged by the time you got it. | 22:49 |
| slackguru | I'll spit it out... | 22:49 |
| TJ- | ChrisWere: I'm comparing this log to the old one, and researching some issues to understand it better | 22:49 |

| slackguru | I feel the overwhelming need to prove Google wrong that jellybean CAN be compiled on a 32 bit machine, can someone help? | 22:52 |
| bekks | slackguru: Then your question is answered and you have a good example for non portable code :) | 22:53 |
| Num83rGuy | axisys: It's not necessarily a bad sign that it was nearly dead. If it doesn't hold a charge or depletes (goes dead) too quickly then you may have a bad battery. Look at the %, if it drops more than 1 or 2% in the next week I would talk to the seller about a possible replacement. | 22:53 |

| slackguru | Why can't the code be parsed and given equivalent instructions by the 32 bit compiler? | 22:53 |
| TJ- | ChrisWere: Can you pastebin "/var/log/kern.log" please? The new log shows that nouveau can't drive the GP116 aka NVCF aka GTX 550Ti, so the default system VESA VGA driver has loaded. VESA can't read the EDID either, so something is pretty bad on the hardware side somehow. | 22:53 |
| bekks | slackguru: Ask the author of the code. | 22:53 |
| slackguru | How can ARM, which is 32 bit and a little os which is 32 bit REQUIRE a 64 bit compiler? | 22:54 |
| bekks | slackguru: Ask the author of the code... | 22:54 |
| slackguru | right on bekks | 22:54 |
| slackguru | thanks anyway | 22:54 |

| jagginess | slackguru, there are cross-compilers. You don't need to be on a 32-bit system to "compile" code for non 32-bit architectures.. but you'll run the compiled code on those non-32bit architectures | 22:55 |
| jagginess | slackguru, or you don't need to be on 64-bit to compile 64-bit. | 22:55 |
| kbrosnan | ElixirVitae: alcarte | 22:55 |

| jagginess | lol | 22:56 |
| slackguru | I was told version 4.0 of Android couldn't be done on a 32 bit system but I made it happen | 22:56 |
| ElixirVitae | Oh, thanks kbrosnan, that was it | 22:57 |
| ChrisWere | tj-: hold on a sec my browser keeps hangnig | 22:57 |
| jagginess | slackguru, we have no idea (please see #android) | 22:57 |
| Num83rGuy | harryrf: Try cd ~/downloads | 22:57 |
| harryrf | ah, been too long since I've used linux. Thanks | 22:57 |
| slackguru | they're the ones who won't support 32 bit systems | 22:57 |

| jagginess | harryrf, linux is case-sensitive, you can also do -> cd ~/D<tab><tab> or cd ~/d<tab><tab> to do autocompleteion | 22:58 |
| slackguru | I'll find my solution elsewhere, I've never found the Ubuntu community to be very helpful when it comes to "making things possible" on Ubuntu | 22:58 |
| bekks | slackguru: Things are possible, but you have problem with some distinct code not even shipped with Ubuntu. | 22:59 |
| harryrf | thanks guys | 22:59 |
| slackguru | Like I said jagg, thanks for trying, and I understand you don't know. Anyone who does know, please get with me.... I am simply overlooking something and I know it... some help would be much appreciated. | 22:59 |
| elixey | is there a special setting for writing iso files to dvds? | 22:59 |
| slackguru | My problem is with code that does ship with ubuntu | 22:59 |
| jimmers | If anyone has a second to help me get this computer updated, I would appreciate it... trying to get home for the night and can't sort out these errors... | 22:59 |
| TJ- | slackguru: It's so that the compiler can take advantage of more than 3GB of RAM in its process address space. | 23:00 |
| bekks | slackguru: The jellybean code is not shipped with Ubuntu. | 23:00 |
| elixey | guys! | 23:00 |

| hash__ | Can i install lubuntu thru a terminal off of a cd, and if so does anyone know where i can find a list of steps | 23:00 |
| jagginess | jimmers, try it with aptitude :/ (aptitude update, aptitude upgrade) | 23:00 |
| slackguru | I haven't asked one question about jelly bean, I simply informed you of what I am programming.... | 23:01 |
| ChrisWere | tj-: I don't know why it's taking so long to work and makes my browser hang | 23:01 |
| beandog | Is there a way to display *which* services are supposed to startup at boot | 23:01 |
| jimmers | jagginess: I get the same errors when I try to install aptitude | 23:01 |
| slackguru | Every question I have asked has been about the cross compiler, which again, doesn't ship with ubuntu but is in its repositories... | 23:01 |
| slackguru | no big deal... really | 23:01 |
| TJ- | ChrisWere: Big file! Cancel it... generate just the last 2000 lines and send them like this: "tail -n 2000 /var/log/kern.log > /tmp/kern.log" and upload "/tmp/kern.log" | 23:02 |
| slackguru | I will find the answer, I am just tired of having to look 94 billion days for some obscure code that isn't used very often, I mean come on, how often do you need a slow machine to actually do something fast? | 23:02 |
| ChrisWere | tj-: oh right because it exceeds 500kb. | 23:02 |
| slackguru | Seriously, it's all good... | 23:02 |
| TJ- | ChrisWere: Ouch... it ought to have been rotated by now! Maybe it contains lots of error reports that may give us a clue :) | 23:03 |
| ChrisWere | tj-: Well lots of errors would be in the traditional style of linux. It finished now http://paste.ubuntu.com/1275866/ | 23:04 |
| pepee | jimmers, did you read what I posted? | 23:04 |
| jimmers | pepee didn't see it... scrolling up now | 23:04 |
| pepee | jimmers, try sudo apt-get install --reinstall grub-common grub-pc grub-pc-bin grub2-common | 23:04 |
| TJ- | ChrisWere: Well good news - must have just been a slow upload ... the file doesn't contain lots of errors, just the expected informational messages. I'll look through it | 23:05 |
| jimmers | pepee: same output | 23:05 |
| jagginess | jimmers, try to ->dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/lib/apt/archives/<that grub-common package .deb> | 23:06 |
| TJ- | ChrisWere: Just an aside, but you may want to check if there's a newer BIOS for that motherboard. "[Firmware Bug]: powernow-k8: Try again with latest BIOS." | 23:06 |
| ChrisWere | TJ-: My motherboard manual says not to upgrade bios unless it causes problems | 23:06 |
| jimmers | jagginess: that looks scary..... pepee, did you see what he put, and do you second it? :-p forcing something with grub scares me a little | 23:07 |
| TJ- | ChrisWere: It's always worth keeping an eye on the updates they provide - reading the changelog/fixes they incorporate. | 23:07 |
| jagginess | jimmers, it'll only overwrite it's own config | 23:07 |
| jimmers | jagginess: very similar output | 23:08 |
| ChrisWere | tj-: why, if you don't mind me asking | 23:08 |
| jimmers | jagginess: the error it keeps giving me seems to be related to the filename, and I'm wondering where all these special characters are coming from in the output | 23:08 |
| jagginess | jimmers, "invoke-rc.d: initscript grub-common, action "stop" failed." says that ? | 23:09 |
| === Swish[\] is now known as Swish | ||
| jimmers | jagginess: yes | 23:09 |
| TJ- | ChrisWere: OK, this last boot there's nothing interesting in the log *but* for the last boot there is. "[drm] nouveau 0000:05:00.0: DDC responded, but no EDID for VGA-1" ... "Raw EDID ..." followed by the EDID data-block which is all zeros, followed by "nouveau 0000:05:00.0: VGA-1: EDID block 0 invalid." and "[drm] nouveau 0000:05:00.0: DDC responded, but no EDID for VGA-1" | 23:09 |
| jimmers | jagginess: small difference... it says action "start" fialed, not stop | 23:09 |
| jimmers | jagginess: nevermind, it says both in different places | 23:09 |
| jagginess | jimmers, now do, apt-get -f install<enter> | 23:09 |
| ChrisWere | tj-: what does that mean exactly? | 23:10 |
| TJ- | ChrisWere: So, that indicates that both the nvidia driver and the nouveau driver can't get a valid EDID from the hardware. So, my gut instinct tells me that there's something either physical/hardware or firmware/BIOS causing this, but without having hands-on I can't do much more to figure it out | 23:10 |
| jimmers | jagginess: all the same | 23:10 |
| jagginess | jimmers, my best bet is to dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/lib/apt/archives/<>.deb for grub-pc grub-pc-bin grub2-common, .. | 23:11 |
| TJ- | ChrisWere: EDID is the Extended Display Information Data and reports all the frequencies and modes the monitor can support. Without it, the graphics driver can't know which frequencies and modes are safe to use, so it limits itself to a universally support base set | 23:11 |
| ChrisWere | TJ-: F*** could it be a new motherboard I got about a week ago? | 23:11 |
| ChrisWere | tj-: hold on, why does it work in windows if it's a hardware problem? | 23:11 |
| jagginess | jimmers, (then try apt-get -f install) | 23:11 |
| TJ- | ChrisWere: I don't know. That's why I said possibly firmware/BIOS. | 23:11 |
| TJ- | ChrisWere: New motherboard? Have you had Ubuntu booted with the new motherboard *and* the VGA monitor in correct resolution? | 23:12 |
| jagginess | ChrisWere, if you're using a kvm switch that can interfere | 23:12 |
| ChrisWere | TJ-: I'm still not 100% sure why it works in windows rather than linux. It's late here and I have a cold, so I'm a bit slow | 23:12 |
| TJ- | ChrisWere: Same here, it's a weird one, but my gut tells me from experience that these kind of EDID missing issues are some kind of hardware-related issue. | 23:13 |
| TJ- | ChrisWere: The way the EDID is obtained is to read it over the VGA DDC pin, which is presented in software via an i2c interface on the GPU | 23:14 |
| jimmers | jagginess: all the same | 23:14 |
| ChrisWere | TJ-: can you see why i understand linux to be less stable than windows now? | 23:14 |
| TJ- | ChrisWere: No | 23:14 |
| daftykins | if you're getting display config issues that doesn't undermine the OS' stability, it undermines the graphics driver's robustness | 23:15 |
| ChrisWere | TJ-: so my moniter works properly in windows, doesn't in linux, your advice is to check out the hardware, and your telling me you have no idea why I think linux is less stable than windoes? | 23:15 |
| jagginess | jimmers, does it say "update-rc.d: warning: /etc/init.d/grub-common missing LSB information" ? | 23:15 |
| jimmers | jagginess: in a few places, yes | 23:16 |
| jimmers | jagginess: want me to re-paste, in case you see something different that I'm not? | 23:16 |
| TJ- | ChrisWere: Nothing to do with stability. If Nvidia didn't create a driver for Windows you'd have only 800x600 on Windows too. It's down to Nvdia providing useful drivers. | 23:16 |
| pepee | jimmers, ask in #grub too | 23:16 |
| jagginess | pepee, jimmers, #grub has nothing to do with it.. it's the package maintainers | 23:18 |
| jimmers | well I'll get yelled at then :-p | 23:18 |
| jagginess | jimmers, upstream authors usually dont do the packaging | 23:18 |

| user1 | Hey guys, quick question about making bootable USB.. | 23:25 |
| docvell | is there a way to de-install the entire KDE desktop (but NOT the games)? I never use it, I just like using gnome desktop (if I want any of the games/utilities I can always re-install those separately I believe and still run them in gnome if need be) | 23:25 |
| user1 | I have the ISO file on there and everything, but that doesn't mean its quite bootable yet, right? | 23:25 |
| meditatingfrog | user1: you need to use dd or usb-creator to make the boot disk | 23:26 |
| jagginess | user1, you can't take away kde-libs that kde-apps/games require. To also phrase, you don't need the KDE desktop to run kde-apps | 23:26 |
| user1 | Thanks | 23:26 |
| user1 | Oh, that was docvell asking that | 23:27 |
| meditatingfrog | jagginess: i think you meant that for docvell | 23:27 |
| jagginess | user1, i don't know which would be bigger, kde-desktop exclusive harddrive space or the kde-libs that kdeapps/games require | 23:27 |
| jagginess | oh | 23:27 |

| jagginess | i'm just coming out of a deep cough.. | 23:28 |
| * jagginess used up a whole tissue box | 23:28 | |
| user1 | Speaking of USB flash drives, does anyone have a sucessfull method to partition a PNY 4G Attache drive? I don't want Ubuntu to take up the whole thing, I want to be able to use part of it also.. | 23:28 |
| meditatingfrog | dang, take care of yourself jagginess | 23:28 |
| user1 | Just at least a gig, meaning 3GB for Ubuntu bootable.. sound good? | 23:28 |
| ChrisWere | tj-: well thanks for your help, it's gone mid-night here in the UK, so I'm gonna check out the motherboard in the morning. Thanks again | 23:28 |
| bjrohan | I had my laptop and office computer able to see each other and transfer files via file manager, I have since reinstalled Ubuntu on both machines and can not figure out how to get them to do that again. On both machines I installed openSSH, as they are connected via router | 23:28 |
| kthxbye | ya | 23:29 |
| bjrohan | I can ping each one from the other | 23:29 |
| bekks | bjrohan: Then just use scp and/or setup a NFS share. | 23:29 |
| bjrohan | bekks what is scp? | 23:29 |
| user1 | Anyone have Ubuntu on flash drive with partition? | 23:29 |
| bekks | bjrohan: The abreviation of "secure copy" - cp using ssh. :) | 23:30 |
| meditatingfrog | user1: i think usb-creator used to be able to do that | 23:30 |
| Rudd-XXX | X | 23:30 |
| user1 | As in one partition is for bootable, and the other is for storage? | 23:30 |
| meditatingfrog | user1: i always would just create a folder for storage instead of partitioning | 23:30 |
| jagginess | user1, you're trying to place the ubuntu-installer on usb? (sounds like you want to "install" ubuntu on usb, you can do that too) | 23:30 |
| user1 | yeah. I want to install Ubuntu onto USB | 23:31 |
| user1 | Make it bootable from BIOS | 23:31 |
| meditatingfrog | ah, good idea | 23:31 |
| Dr_willis__ | user1, you can do a normal full install to usb flash.. done it allthe time | 23:31 |
| user1 | Yeah I know | 23:31 |
| geirha | bjrohan: Open the filemanager, under its File menu, choose Connect to server, choose SSH as the connection type, fill in the rest | 23:31 |
| user1 | But I want to use part of the flash drive for regular storage as well | 23:31 |
| Dr_willis__ | user1, 'regular' windows partion youmean> | 23:31 |
| user1 | One partition for Ubuntu Bootable, another for regular storage | 23:31 |
| jagginess | user1, i dont see why not.. i think if you choose 'something else' with the ubuntu installer then you get into manual partitioning mode (i personally rather just use gparted live cd) | 23:32 |
| Dr_willis__ | You can partition the usb however you want.. it dosent matter | 23:32 |
| bjrohan | thanks geirha | 23:32 |
| Dr_willis__ | same as you would a normal hard drive | 23:32 |
| geirha | bjrohan: Remember to check the box to save a bookmark so you don't have to do it every time | 23:32 |
| user1 | Not with Windows Disk Management | 23:32 |
| Dr_willis__ | user1, so use gparted or fdisk or whatever... | 23:32 |
| jagginess | user1, if you dont have a running linux system, maybe you'd like to use gparted live cd.. it's a very common tool :) | 23:33 |
| jagginess | user1, that live iso system is only meant to do partitioning.. it can also resize any ntfs partitions on your usb | 23:33 |
| [twisti] | its probably best to just google 'linux live usb stick' and download whatever program they link, because ive tried a few and they let you chose how much space to use | 23:38 |

| timg | hi | 23:44 |
| blackshirt | hi timg | 23:44 |
| blackshirt | hahaha | 23:44 |
| timg | so.. ubuntu 12.04 livecd will not boot when I have a geforce gt 620 card in | 23:44 |
| timg | what is the protocol for this? | 23:44 |
| timg | take the card out ? | 23:44 |
| compdoc | timg, does windows? | 23:45 |
| timg | compdoc: yea | 23:45 |
| timg | also, I had linux mint13 installed | 23:45 |
| timg | worked after I put the card in | 23:46 |
| timg | so maybe remove card, install ubuntu then reinsert card and try to install drivers | 23:46 |
| timg | such a hassle. | 23:46 |
| zykotick9 | timg: did you try nomodeset? see "/msg ubottu nomodeset" for details. | 23:48 |
| timg | zykotick9: live cd results in a blinky cursor | 23:49 |
| timg | I don't think I can alter the boot at that point | 23:49 |
| timg | can I? | 23:49 |
| zykotick9 | timg: either A) tro nomodeset or B) are you sure your boot order is correct. | 23:50 |
| timg | well it comes up with the brown ubuntu boot screen and icon | 23:50 |
| zykotick9 | timg: you can, read the nomodeset link/factoid for details | 23:50 |
| timg | so I think it's getting there | 23:50 |
| timg | cd just keeps spinning with a blinky cursor | 23:50 |
| timg | ok | 23:51 |
| timg | will try thanks | 23:51 |
| timg | I can't believe there are >1500 people in here and the channel isn't flooded | 23:51 |
| timg | I remember when it was <1000 and you could barely keep up | 23:51 |
| weeb1e | so uhh | 23:53 |
| weeb1e | a hacker got into one of my servers | 23:53 |
| weeb1e | what security measures should i take? | 23:53 |
| [twisti] | format it | 23:53 |
| andrewh192 | hey, i currently have ubuntu 12.04 LTS and am going to install Windows 7 on the side.... | 23:53 |
| weeb1e | i think its just a user account called "test" | 23:53 |
| andrewh192 | weas wondering what i need to do to do this... | 23:53 |
| andrewh192 | if anything special | 23:54 |
| weeb1e | I may have made the account with an easy password long ago | 23:54 |
| andrewh192 | b4 i actually start the install cd... | 23:54 |
| [twisti] | for all you know he has replaced half your binaries with malicious shit | 23:54 |
| weeb1e | [twisti]: a test account won't have access to root | 23:54 |
| bjrohan | I am trying to use ssh on 2 computers linked via router. I can access my laptop from the desktop, however when i try to access the the desktop from the laptop I get an error message, some more verbose than others depending on which file browser I use | 23:54 |
| blackshirt | i dont think so | 23:54 |
| weeb1e | but theres an ssh connection from romania connected to it, spawning php processes | 23:54 |
| [twisti] | so you hope | 23:54 |
| weeb1e | :| | 23:54 |
| bjrohan | In nautilus I get Host Key Verification Failed | 23:54 |
| [twisti] | thank god php is so secure, i guess you have nothing to worry about | 23:54 |
| weeb1e | err, php is the least of my worries | 23:55 |
| weeb1e | they are spawning the php processes from an ssh connection | 23:55 |
| timg | [twisti]: what's that supposed to mean | 23:55 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, if your laptop is on a separated network and is behind a WAN IP box, then maybe the ISP is blocking the desktop to the laptop | 23:55 |
| [twisti] | timg: i was making a sarcastic comment towards the ridiculous amount of security issues relating to PHP | 23:56 |

| bjrohan | I don't follow jagginess. These 2 computers are connect via a LAN router. I have my modem connected to a wireless router, which both of my computers are connected to, one is 192.168.0.2 (desktop) and laptop is 192.168.0.5. | 23:57 |
| blackshirt | weeb1e, i think maybe better you cut off your connection if you not sure | 23:57 |
| bjrohan | my desktop can access my laptop, but not vice versa | 23:57 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, is the laptop connecting wireless? | 23:57 |
| weeb1e | blackshirt: this box is in a data center, it is a server | 23:57 |
| weeb1e | not very happy about this, but I think they just found an easy password to a test account | 23:58 |
| weeb1e | test doesn't have sudo | 23:58 |
| bekks | weeb1e: disable the login for that account, kill the spawned processes. | 23:58 |
| bjrohan | jagginess yes it is, to the router, the desktop is connected to the router via cable | 23:59 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, to make it simpler next time :), so the two "arent" connected to a LAN router (that would imply they're both wired :) | 23:59 |
