| weeb1e | ok it could be worse than I thought | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| weeb1e | fffffffffffffff | 00:00 |
| cornell | Good evening all | 00:00 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, it sounds like a router that is a hybrid WLAN/LAN.. is it only 1 router? | 00:00 |
| bjrohan | jagginess sorry, thought LAN just meant that they were not connected via the internet | 00:00 |
| weeb1e | theres something using a whole core running in /sbin | 00:00 |
| weeb1e | that is not good! | 00:00 |
| bjrohan | jagginess it is only 1 router | 00:00 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, true.. but what model is it? | 00:00 |
| weeb1e | spawned by the test user | 00:00 |
| blackshirt | weeb1e, i think the hacker use some php shell inclusion | 00:00 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, and are they both set to "dhcp" ? | 00:00 |
| bjrohan | linksys | 00:01 |
| weeb1e | blackshirt: /sbin/ss | 00:01 |
| jagginess | ..linksys.. ? | 00:01 |
| jagginess | _ | 00:01 |
| cornell | Well, I bit the bullet and upgraded my desktop to 12.0.4. And when it was done, it came up with my gnome-shell! Joy of Joys! It came to pass that I had to reboot, and it came up with Unity :-( | 00:01 |
| weeb1e | don't even know what ss is | 00:01 |
| cornell | Now I can't find any thing :-( | 00:01 |
| bjrohan | jagginess linksys wrt54g2 | 00:01 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, and are both computers set to "dhcp" ? | 00:01 |
| weeb1e | bekks: I deleted the whole account | 00:02 |
| bjrohan | I do not know, in the router jagginess? | 00:02 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, they would be on the computers.. I'm guessing they're dhcp since you dont know.. | 00:02 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, you see some 'router's are really picky and don't allow traffic properly on 'static' lan ip#s.. | 00:03 |
| weeb1e | looks like some sort of DDOS attack | 00:03 |
| cuddlemonster | I have an eSATA expresscard that is listed in lspci, but when I plug the cable in, the drives aren't recognized. How can I find out why that is? | 00:03 |
| winstonebook | Hello | 00:04 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, what version# is your linksys ? (says on the webpages http://<your router ip>) | 00:04 |
| winstonebook | I'm downloading Ubuntu | 00:04 |
| bjrohan | jagginess, I have fresh installed of ubuntu on both machines, I have set the modem to reserved DHCP, and assigned both computers referenced to the addresses I gave | 00:04 |
| zykotick9 | cuddlemonster: fyi, my eSATA isn't hot-pluggable, i have to reboot to get the drives to detect.... best of luck. not all esata is like my experience! | 00:04 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, ok that's fine.. and the proper way to do it | 00:05 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, but the latest is 1.5 i think for your model http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-ca/support/routers/WRT54G2 (make sure you have the latest firmware, it's possible a faulty firmware can cause this) | 00:05 |
| cuddlemonster | zykotick9: Is that a limitation of the kernel? Bug or missing feature? | 00:06 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, let me backtrace a bit here.. did you "reserve DHCP addresses" for those two computers? | 00:06 |
| weeb1e | looks like romania is attacking korea | 00:06 |
| bjrohan | jagginess what would cause it to work oneway and not the other? | 00:06 |
| weeb1e | just a heads up | 00:06 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, let me backtrace a bit here.. did you "reserve DHCP addresses" for those two computers? | 00:06 |
| zykotick9 | cuddlemonster: it's a hardware/driver issue... many esata cards aren't supported 100% :( | 00:06 |
| bjrohan | Jagginess, yes both of them are reserved | 00:06 |
| Guddu | Could someone help me with qmail install error? This is preventing me from installing other packages. | 00:06 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, ok.. (sorry it sounded a bit ambiguous before) | 00:06 |
| cindyasarisuratn | morning :( | 00:06 |
| bjrohan | sorry | 00:07 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, so try the latest firmware .., came out 03/19/2012 | 00:07 |
| bjrohan | It is :-) | 00:07 |
| Guddu | Here is my session transcript http://dpaste.com/813082/ | 00:07 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, ok | 00:07 |
| bjrohan | How can i make sure the openssh server is working properly on the desktop? | 00:07 |
| weeb1e | so the hacker dumped their scripts in /dev/shm/.x/smtp/ | 00:07 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, next i'd do is drop the firewalls on both computers (on linux it's temporarily-> iptables -F , maybe use sudo) | 00:07 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, then try desktop->laptop | 00:08 |
| weeb1e | I didn't know a use without sudo access could access /dev/shm/.x/smtp/ | 00:08 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, i bb in a couple mins.. | 00:08 |
| jagginess | hang on :/ | 00:08 |
| cornell | Can't even go to system/synaptic to get gnome-shell... There's no freaking MENU!. I had to do a search :-( Whose Idea was this Unity cra... thing? | 00:08 |
| Guddu | Could someone help me with qmail install error? This is preventing me from installing other packages. | 00:09 |
| Guddu | Here is my session transcript http://dpaste.com/813082/ | 00:09 |
| cornell | biab, seeing if I can login with gnome-shell now. | 00:09 |
| IdleOne | Guddu: there is a #qmail you can try | 00:10 |
| Guddu | Thanks IdleOne | 00:10 |
| cornell | Ah... much better. | 00:11 |
| bjrohan | jagginess, I have also installed Dolphin browser, and when I try to connect I get: http://pastebin.com/g4V3Armp | 00:11 |
| wilee-nilee | cornell, This is not a play by play channel it is support. ;) | 00:11 |
| bjrohan | Anyone else have suggestions why I can access one computers files over a home network, but vice versa is a fail? I get the following: http://pastebin.com/g4V3Armp | 00:13 |
| cornell | Yes, wilee-nilee, but, last I checked, humans were here. And humans tend to engage in a little small talk now and again. Sticking only to the matter at hand in a cut and dried fashion, gets real dull real fast. | 00:13 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, so delete the key for that trusted host and allow it associate the new one.. that's why it's wise to reserve their ip's | 00:14 |
| bandit22 | anybody know why I would have a file in home folder (.xsession-errors.old) that grew to 362GB Ubuntu 12.04 64bit | 00:14 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, a key gets associate with an ip address.. so it would happen before you did those reservations | 00:14 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, (the key is cached on the client, this would be the public key) | 00:15 |
| bjrohan | jagginess how do I do that? | 00:15 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, whatever client you're using.. dunno about dolphin, but probably it uses kde-wallet or something.. just delete any 'stored' passwords with it | 00:15 |
| cornell | Anyway, on to the next problem... On 11, I'd created a shortcut, I forget if it was a .pls or a .m3u, on my desktop. Clicking it would open moveplayer and play the audio that was being streamed. Now I've upgraded to 12. The shortcut's still there, but when I click it, it opens rythymbox, which sits there waiting for me to pick something. And my .pls, or .m3u, isn't an option. I also note that opening the shortcut's properties doe | 00:16 |
| jagginess | bandit22, maybe kilobytes, not gigabytes. | 00:17 |
| hilo | Can someone help me edit/fix this regular expression based string edit for a script I'm writing? Current shell script line with regular expressions: echo $vminstance | sed -r 's/\{.*\}//g' | sed -r 's/\"//g' The variable $vminstance is equal to all of this (including quotes and special): "qwer qwer" {sadfasdf-sadfasdf-sadfasdf-sdfadsf} The current script strips it to just qwer qwer. I need it to either also add a \ to escape the spac | 00:17 |
| hilo | e, OR have it put single quotations around the qwer qwer\ | 00:17 |
| bandit22 | no it was for sure GB as in gigabytes because I had to delete as I kept getting disc full messages | 00:18 |
| Guddu | Is there a way i could configure /etc/hosts to get past this error while installing qmail? | 00:19 |
| Guddu | Your system needs to have a fully qualified domain name (fqdn) in | 00:19 |
| Guddu | order to install the var-qmail packages. | 00:19 |
| cornell | All I seem to get from the properties is the type: MP3 ShoutCast playlist (audio/x-scpls) | 00:19 |
| bjrohan | jagginess I am at a loss, I opened up the wallet, I have entries for Chrome, as well as network, but the network passwords, nothing for dolphin or nautilus | 00:21 |
| gridwest | Is there any way to forward a port on my router automatically? without having to log in to the router config settings | 00:21 |
| l0p3n | gridwest: I think if you have upnp enabled the router will do that for you | 00:23 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, try to remove the associated public key from the authorized_keys file :/ | 00:24 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, (~/.ssh) | 00:24 |
| bjrohan | I googled and foud it. In that hosts file there appear to be 2 entries, just delete them both? | 00:24 |
| jagginess | gridwest, upnp does it, but it's only if your router can do it, and only from internal lan machines.. | 00:24 |
| cornell | Interesting... changed the default application to Movieplayer... Clicked it, Movieplayer opened, but didn't play. Reset it to Rythmbox. Tried rightclick/open with moviplayer, and it opened and started playing just fine. | 00:25 |
| cornell | Seems strange. | 00:25 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, you can delete the key associated with the laptop.. i don't know further details.. but you can always add the key you didnt want to remove a little later when reconnecting to that unknown server | 00:25 |
| bjrohan | Ok. and I want to delete this on the desktop (the computer I am trying to access remotely but can not) | 00:26 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, it's not in ~/.ssh ? turn on hidden files in your dolphin browser | 00:26 |
| jagginess | ~/.ssh << "~" means /home/<username> | 00:27 |
| bjrohan | yes it is, but on which computer do I delete? I have one of those on each computer | 00:27 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, i said the client's | 00:27 |
| bjrohan | ok | 00:27 |
| bjrohan | sorry | 00:27 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, which is the desktop, it's the desktop acting as the client | 00:27 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, client(desktop)<->server(laptop) | 00:28 |
| bjrohan | I thought in this case it would be the server, as it is hosting the files I am trying to access | 00:28 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, you said client(laptop)->server(desktop), works.. | 00:28 |
| gridwest | is there a command line utility for upnp automatic router port forwarding? | 00:28 |
| jagginess | client(desktop)->server(laptop) ,, i fixed my arrow on this one this time :) | 00:28 |
| l0p3n | gridwest: usually you log in to your router and enable it from there | 00:29 |
| jagginess | gridwest, it's not used for services i believe, but rather for clients.. | 00:29 |
| jagginess | gridwest, it's more stable and best to set it up via the router's pages, you'll have to ask someone to do it for you | 00:29 |
| bjrohan | sorry, laptop server, desktop client works, the other way does not | 00:29 |
| gridwest | I know how to set it up manually | 00:30 |
| gridwest | via the router's pages | 00:30 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, yup.. client(desktop)->server(laptop) "does not" work.. you were using dolphin client on your desktop.. dolphin from what i read from a blog post may be using settings from ~/.ssh on your desktop | 00:30 |
| bjrohan | jagginess using my laptop connected to router wirelessly will not access my desktop connect to router via cable, however the other way around desktop CAN access my laptop works | 00:30 |
| jagginess | oO | 00:31 |
| gogeta | bjrohan: sounds like aa ufw seting issue | 00:31 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, ok.. so same thing applies.. just check .ssh on your laptop.. | 00:31 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, doesnt matter which machine it is, i thought it was one way, but it's your laptop's client to be deal with | 00:32 |
| marsha | hello! I'm looking for abiword users | 00:32 |
| gridwest | most routers have upnp enabled by default | 00:32 |
| andrewh192 | anyone here have any pointers b4 i install Windows 7 next to my current install of Ubuntu 12.04? | 00:32 |
| jagginess | andrewh192, pointers for installing windows? comeon man | 00:33 |
| gogeta | andrewh192: be ready to restore grub | 00:33 |
| bjrohan | I deleted the contents of the .ssh host file on both computers. I no longer get the same error message, however now it is saying that my username/password is incorrect. I am using the the same combo to try and log in remotely as I do while sitting at the desktop | 00:33 |
| jagginess | andrewaclt, yeah ^..(check out boot-repair iso.. a great tool to fix ubuntu grub menu) | 00:33 |
| jagginess | andrewaclt, once you boot into ubuntu again after fixing grub with boot-repair iso, then go with sudo -> update-grub2 to add the windows entry to grub | 00:34 |
| bjrohan | that should work correct? | 00:34 |
| jagginess | andrewh192, i mean to say to you | 00:34 |
| jagginess | andrewh192, (above stuff) | 00:34 |
| wilee-nilee | andrewh192, Back up what you can't afford to loose. | 00:34 |
| gogeta | jagginess: yea thats a nice iso i think ubuntu is gonna start including it on the live cd | 00:35 |
| jagginess | gogeta, yeah.. i'm impressed with it.. i tried it a few days ago with mint, it works flawlessly with it too | 00:35 |
| marsha | abiword users? | 00:36 |
| jagginess | always used to do the crazy root-shell method to fix grub.. now it's simply click click with boot-repair.. worked better than i expected | 00:36 |
| gogeta | if you have a problem with abiword ask | 00:36 |
| gridwest | Assuming Upnp is already enabled, is there a command line utility that will allow one to take advantage of Upnp automatic port forwarding. (automatic as in the user writes a script that will forward a port for them) | 00:36 |

| marsha | Anyone know how to tell abiword how to delete a whole word and not just a character? | 00:37 |
| gogeta | gridwest: yes | 00:37 |
| jagginess | marsha, should be in the list of keyboard shortcuts for abiword | 00:37 |
| gogeta | gridwest ! ufw | 00:37 |
| gogeta | baa | 00:37 |
| gogeta | !ufw | 00:38 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. | 00:38 |
| jagginess | gridwest, upnp doesnt always work properly.. there's been things trying to replace it | 00:38 |
| marsha | actually, my problem is I use autokey and with abiword it only deletes one character of the abbreviation | 00:38 |
| jagginess | gridwest, it's best to just use port forwarding | 00:38 |
| jagginess | marsha, well see what's conflicting with autokey vs abiword.. you'll have to dig it :) | 00:39 |
| gridwest | is there no way to reliably automatically forward a port via script? | 00:39 |
| gogeta | gridwest: you need said port open to foward to | 00:39 |
| jagginess | gridwest, no because, it's not servers that do this, it's mostly the clients.. | 00:39 |
| Guddu | Where can i find the Ubuntu Audio alert sound files? | 00:39 |
| gogeta | gridwest: if you wahnt it outside the local network | 00:39 |
| cornell | Ok, how about another easy one... The gnome-shell came up with a bar on the top (Applications, Places, date, user, etc.) and a bar at the bottom, with the open applications. As I recall, right-clicking on the bar allows moving it. But not now. How do I get it moved? | 00:41 |

| andrewh192 | wilee-nilee: that mean like a vm? | 00:46 |
| === eoss is now known as poopie | ||
| bjrohan | jagginess, I am still stumped. When I enter my credientials now it says they are wrong. I just logged in and back out of the desktop and all was fine username and password. In the Nautilus box it has an exclamation point in my password field | 00:46 |
| andrewh192 | wilee-nilee: i have virtualbox right now and have a vm of windows | 00:46 |
| wilee-nilee | andrewaclt, No a clone is a image of the OS as it was when you copied it a mirror image that can be slipped back in. | 00:47 |
| andrewh192 | wilee-nilee: but it doesn't see the tv tuner card either, and won't unless the host os sees and has been installed/setup properly | 00:47 |
| wilee-nilee | a vm is a OS although many vm clients offer snapshots | 00:47 |
| gogeta | andrewh192: tv tuners work in linux you just need the video driver for them | 00:47 |
| cornell | Have I offended? | 00:47 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, since you deleted more than you had to, just wipe out the ssh stores on both computers.. you'll have to dig out on how to do this as i'm not sure (but the ssh command line client is easier to use to test things) | 00:48 |

| jagginess | gridwest, i already explained to you. your router box has to support. Maybe it doesn't. Since you don't have the password to it to find out, then you're out of luck. | 00:55 |
| ScG^Dedicated | anyone here with apparmor knowledge that has some time to help me? | 00:55 |
| yekoms | i think its called pnp..routers already allow software portforwarding. | 00:55 |
| gridwest | it does I need to use upnp | 00:55 |
| yekoms | then learn the upnp method and issue open ports that way. | 00:55 |
| yekoms | sounds like you want to open a port on a openwifi source thats blocking them all? | 00:56 |

| andrewh192 | gogeta: well, i don't know... | 01:00 |
| bjrohan | what do I type to do that? | 01:01 |
| bjrohan | I have terminal open | 01:01 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, you just had to delete the public key associated stored on the laptop, but were too lazy on how to do it :/ | 01:01 |
| jagginess | hehe | 01:01 |

| Dr_willis__ | gridwest, you mean your router has a media server feature? last i looked upnp on a router often ment it could auto open ports.. not serve media. (a bit of confusion in the terms) | 01:02 |
| andrewh192 | well, right now we have a cable box, for whatever reason but u can unplug the cable box, and just plujg the cable directly into a new tv with a hd tuner and it will work | 01:02 |
| bjrohan | I followed what to do via googling how to wipe the keys or whatever you typed and I did exactly what it said, and did an openssh reconfig | 01:02 |
| andrewh192 | so it (the tv tuner card) should be able to see all the same channels that the tv sees | 01:02 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, the public key gets cached on the client.. the client was caching it for an ip, an ip address that changed before you did the dhcp reservation | 01:03 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, you didnt have to do anything else.. no server reconfiguration nothing | 01:03 |
| gogeta | andrewh192: so its not a dtv card its a old anlong humm maybe you have to modprobe the card by hand like i had to with mine | 01:03 |
| andrewh192 | yeah | 01:03 |
| bjrohan | when I type the ssh name@192.168.0.2 I get a long winded error message: | 01:04 |
| gogeta | andrewh192: for whatver reasion linux never saw my ati at boot | 01:04 |
| bjrohan | RSA host key for 192.168.0.2 has changed and you have requested strict checking. | 01:04 |
| bjrohan | Host key verification failed. | 01:04 |
| andrewh192 | gogeta: i could get the model # of the card and maybe you might be able to tell me which it is... | 01:04 |
| booger | is a telnet time-out part of putty or the box you're logging in to? | 01:04 |
| andrewh192 | gogeta: it has two input things on the back... one for atsc and over the air one | 01:04 |
| andrewh192 | or rather one cable, and one over the air.... | 01:04 |
| ScG^Dedicated | anyone here with apparmor knowledge that has some time to help me? | 01:04 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, maybe you forced to use key pairs.. it's up to you if want to be allowed to authenticate via typing in a password.. (you probably turned off authentication via password interaction) | 01:05 |
| bjrohan | how would I fix this? | 01:05 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, unchange whatever you did with the server's configuration | 01:05 |
| booger | anyone? | 01:05 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, the default ssh server allows login via password typing | 01:05 |
| bjrohan | I am so confused now I have to idea what I did, or need to do. | 01:06 |
| booger | you're all a bunch of dicks | 01:06 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, dunno.. pastebin your desktop's sshd<?>_config.conf file somewhere from/etc/ | 01:06 |
| jagginess | !ops booger | 01:06 |
| andrewh192 | brb guys | 01:06 |

| Y_Ichiro | I am looking at the description and there's no references to a CVE number | 01:10 |
| andrewh192 | i don't think so | 01:10 |
| bjrohan | jagginess what file exactly am I looking for in /etc directory? I assume in ssh folder | 01:10 |
| Dr_willis__ | gridwest, i belive the clients send some sort of message to the router and it does it.. | 01:10 |
| andrewh192 | gogeta: i am not sure what i have installed yet... i remember a while ago, when i first got the card, i was trying a bunch of stuff... | 01:10 |
| gogeta | andrewh192: you need that to work | 01:10 |
| andrewh192 | aristidesfl: can't remember now what all i did | 01:10 |
| gogeta | andrewh192: then type modprobe bttv | 01:10 |
| andrewh192 | gogeta: is there a way i can do a terimal command and check if its already installed? | 01:10 |
| aristidesfl | andrewh192 ? | 01:10 |
| bjrohan | jagginess there are several config files, as well as rsa files etc | 01:11 |
| gogeta | andrewh192: at that point you should hear the card pop on and tv time should see it | 01:11 |
| gridwest | how would one send one of those messages to the router via a script>? | 01:11 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, sounds like you never touched the ssh server's config file anywhere.. | 01:11 |
| bjrohan | No, why would I? I installed open ssh on laptop and desktop, desktop to laptop works perfectly | 01:12 |
| Dr_willis__ | gridwest, not sure why you would need to. ;) but heres some thing i just found --> https://launchpad.net/upnp-router-control | 01:12 |
| gogeta | andrewh192: it should be aruldy as its part on the mainline kernel these days | 01:12 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, whatever you did, it affected desktop->laptop ? | 01:12 |

| herodidi | wilee-nilee, alright, got it, tried it, will see if it worked. thanks for the hint, thatll go on quite a couple machines | 01:14 |

| bjrohan | jagginess: I deleted .ssh folder again. From terminal I entered ssh user@192.168.0.2 it prompted for my password | 01:16 |
| wilee-nilee | quickbreeze, Sounds like you are using the orca app | 01:16 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, um.. you sure you didnt change anything with the sshd config ?(maybe somebody else did), so go to the desktop, purge the ssh server and reinstall it | 01:17 |
| bjrohan | I entered my password for that username and it said it was invalid | 01:17 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, your password is invalid? | 01:17 |
| bjrohan | jagginess that is what it says, even though I can logout on desktop and log int | 01:17 |
| bjrohan | just fine | 01:17 |
| jagginess | bjrohan, did you try it with -> ssh <you username at the desktop>@desktopIP from the laptop? | 01:17 |

| gridwest | Wait a second, does upnp only allow one to forward internal ports. I need my script to send a message to my router to forward a port so that a computer far away can reverse tunnel in. | 01:22 |

| jagginess | gridwest, you're not ready to do upnp.. you don't know how port forwarding works .. port forwarding is not about doing things externally, but it something used for NAT firewalls to connect external traffic to an internal one | 01:23 |

| josefk | i just restarted after upgrading to the latest kernel | 02:27 |

| bobweaver | hello there I just tryed to boot my computer and it would not boot. Grub was getting a bunch of question marks, out lining in and also where all the spots that say press e too blah blah . the E was also blocked out by a question mark. then after grub (or whatever that was) . I was getting message that the something is trying to read or write outside hd0 , any ideas what is going on here > | 02:29 |
| bobweaver | ? | 02:29 |
| sonypete | has anyone heard of the issue I desscribed earlier? | 02:30 |
| sonypete | Long Story short, whe I run the built in Memtest86+ that you access form the grub menu, I consistently get 10,0000+ errors by the time I reach 50%. *BUT* if I boot off a memtest cd or any other live-cd with memtest built in I do not get any errors. | 02:30 |
| sonypete | I even tested the same ram in my main gaming rig and get no errors. I took the known-good ram out of the gaming rig and stuck it in my linux box and it would shows errors using hte built in memtest in the grub menu. It would not error out if I booted off a live-cd to test. | 02:30 |
| sonypete | Has anyone experienced this anomaly? I cannot find any other posts about anyone else experiencing this issue. This is for a server I'm setting up so a bit worried about these results. | 02:30 |

| bobweaver | Or how I would go about De-Buging something like that ? Like all the lines "the box" that is around partitions was all question marks. then I get error saying that SWAP can not read outside of hd0 | 02:50 |
| bazhang | bobweaver, this is a VM? | 02:50 |
| bobweaver | No this is raw metal | 02:51 |
| bazhang | bobweaver, and ifconfig lists vmnet? | 02:51 |
| bobweaver | bazhang, ^^ I have three Ubutnu partitions on the hdd one is 12.10 <- / other is Ubutnu business edition other is 12.04 , only 12,10 showed but would not boot. bazhang I was able to un-install vmware-player to remove the vmnet stuff | 02:52 |
| bazhang | business edition? | 02:53 |
| bobweaver | yeah | 02:54 |
| bazhang | bobweaver, which version of ubuntu was installed last | 02:54 |

| NaZZaX | are you sure because the corruption messages im getting say the Hash doesn't match | 04:03 |
| wilee-nilee | wols, Could be a mirror issue, they may of been uploading when you went there, I would change mirrors, as you get multiple fails or try again later. | 04:03 |
| NaZZaX | hmmmm | 04:04 |
| NaZZaX | thing is | 04:04 |
| zykotick9 | NaZZaX: fyi if you are getting hash errors, clear your download cache "sudo apt-get clean" then re-try | 04:04 |
| NaZZaX | my slowest link is my lab 10 Gig its a fresh install of ubuntu lemme clear then try it :) | 04:05 |
| NaZZaX | seems firewalls do not like hkp port 11371 | 04:05 |
| tornado | wols: yes i can download http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/Release.gpg using my web browser. | 04:05 |
| tornado | how does that help me solve the issue though? (Thanks for your help wols) | 04:05 |
| NaZZaX | btw zyko i found a great fix for the keyupdate issue behind firewalls | 04:06 |
| wols | cause it's what apt-get complains about | 04:06 |
| NaZZaX | can i post the link here where i found it | 04:06 |
| ameen | I don't like ubuntu 12.04 | 04:06 |
| NaZZaX | do you guys have a smart egglet that stores useful urls? | 04:06 |
| zykotick9 | NaZZaX: do you mean me? see "/msg ubottu tab" | 04:06 |
| NaZZaX | its actually an 404 files not found error | 04:07 |

| tornado | I have my problem posted here as well: http://askubuntu.com/questions/199541/solving-the-ubuntu-12-04-update-error-5-no-address-associated-with-hostname | 04:08 |
| dsnyders | Well, the bios update didn't help. | 04:09 |
| NaZZaX | zykotick9 yes i was talking to you sorry. | 04:10 |
| NaZZaX | zykotick9 I just did a clean brand shiney new install of 12.04 LTS then ran apt-get update (also I should point out i am sudo -H bash at the moment :) | 04:12 |
| NaZZaX | something is definately wrong with apt-get It's failing in both my DMZ labs and my Engineering Lab | 04:13 |

| [_-S1L3NC3-_] | i got it | 04:42 |

| [_-S1L3NC3-_] | so now what? | 04:42 |
| SolarisBoy | no clue | 04:42 |
| SolarisBoy | maybe you installed it | 04:43 |
| DaemonicApathy | Nope. | 04:43 |
| SolarisBoy | or installed something that pulled it as a dep | 04:43 |
| [_-S1L3NC3-_] | i mean now what? | 04:43 |

| [_-S1L3NC3-_] | well unzip and zip were already installed | 04:44 |
| [_-S1L3NC3-_] | and i still couldn't extract | 04:44 |
| DaemonicApathy | [_-S1L3NC3-_]: once you have the file downloaded, "unzip <file> -d <destination folder>" should work. | 04:45 |
| wols | devjustforfun: two version at the same time? | 04:45 |
| devjustforfun | yes | 04:45 |
| SolarisBoy | DaemonicApathy: not saying your wrong i just didn't think - i recall definately having to install them cause there weren't present but who knows | 04:45 |

| wols | [_-S1L3NC3-_]: man file | 04:46 |
| [_-S1L3NC3-_] | nvm guys | 04:46 |
| devjustforfun | wols just a switch between them | 04:46 |
| [_-S1L3NC3-_] | i goto t through other means | 04:46 |
| wols | devjustforfun: then you do want to have two different versions installed after all? | 04:47 |
| devjustforfun | if i need php 5.2 then i run apache with it if i need php 5.4 just a run apeche with that | 04:47 |
| wols | use VMs. with normal ubuntu you'd need to build at least your own packages. IIRC there is only one version of php per ubuntu release anyways | 04:48 |
| devjustforfun | wols maybe for development purpose more simple install 2 version of lampp distribution with different version of each | 04:48 |
| tornado | wilee-nilee: I have updated the post there with more details as you had requested: http://askubuntu.com/questions/199541/solving-the-ubuntu-12-04-update-error-5-no-address-associated-with-hostname | 04:48 |
| SolarisBoy | if you build it from source you should be able to do it | 04:48 |
| SolarisBoy | https://barelysufficient.org/2011/01/concurrently-running-multiple-versions-of-php/ | 04:49 |
| wols | devjustforfun: yes, and I still suggest VMs for that | 04:49 |
| SolarisBoy | emerge is building from source | 04:49 |
| wols | SolarisBoy: bash: emerge: command not found | 04:50 |
| devjustforfun | wols please advice some good VMs and free | 04:50 |
| wols | devjustforfun: use virtualbox. | 04:51 |
| tty007 | hi | 04:51 |
| DaemonicApathy | wols: +1 | 04:51 |
| agrestringere | Having some interesting problems, I'm trying to install two different ubuntu versions side by side and I just accidentally screwed up so now my Xubuntu install is gone | 04:51 |
| agrestringere | how can I do this? [WinXP][Ubuntu (unity)][Ubuntu (Xfce)] | 04:51 |
| wols | devjustforfun: but use a small ubuntu server installation. you don't need gigabytes of diskspace for every php VM that way | 04:52 |
| wols | agrestringere: decide which displaymanager you want and then install xfce | 04:52 |
| DaemonicApathy | agrestringere: You should be able to use the advanced features of the installer to assign specific Ubuntu installs to specific partitions. | 04:52 |
| tty007 | I get on a powermac with Lubuntu 12.04 installed on it an l1 cache error. Can anyone tell me what there is maybe wrong? | 04:52 |
| wols | agrestringere: you generally con choose which desktop environment to run at log in time then | 04:52 |
| devjustforfun | wols i need to install for each instance drivers. or drivers take for each instance from main system? | 04:53 |
| agrestringere | Ok, so how can I use the partitions? because I would love to keep two separate environments | 04:53 |
| wols | devjustforfun: neither. it's a VM, at most you need the virtualbox guest extensions | 04:53 |
| agrestringere | +DaemonicApathy: how do I do this? | 04:53 |
| wols | devjustforfun: the hardware you have inside a VM does not exist, it's purely virtual | 04:53 |
| devjustforfun | wols oh thanks | 04:54 |
| SolarisBoy | wols: did you get my last message? | 04:55 |
| wols | agrestringere: create 5 partitions: 1 primary ntfs XP partition, one extended partition and inside that extended one, one ubuntu partition, a swap partition for it, a xubuntu partition and a xubuntu swap partition. then install all three OSes | 04:55 |
| overclucker | agrestringere: waht exactly did you screw up anyways? you know you can have both the ubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop environments installed and switch between them with your display/login manager? | 04:55 |
| devjustforfun | wols when i decided to install in my main machine php 5.4 and in instance php 5.2 and for instance i will be using ubuntu server distribution | 04:55 |
| wols | SolarisBoy: no. and frankly I wouldn't care much about it either is my guess | 04:55 |
| SolarisBoy | emerge is a gentoo binary | 04:55 |
| DaemonicApathy | agrestringere: a basic idea of how to go about this: http://goo.gl/0gdvK | 04:55 |
| SolarisBoy | so typing it on ubuntu is pointless | 04:55 |
| wols | SolarisBoy: I know. just reminding you where you are... | 04:56 |
| SolarisBoy | makes no sense | 04:56 |
| SolarisBoy | make it from source and rename the binary is all i was saying - but you can chillax now - genius | 04:56 |
| DaemonicApathy | Personally, I don't really understand the point of installing multiple flavors of Ubuntu - don't they have the same potential for programs, but differ in default environment? | 04:57 |
| phonebook_ | hi, i know this isnt the right place but not sure where to ask for help. im trying to use fontforge to make a .tff and it isnt working | 04:58 |
| wilee-nilee | tornado, You can just gksudo nautilus and go to etc/apt/sources.list.d just delete them and run a ppa install again, remove the save files of those as well. Your apt is just screwed up I think, this a upgrade? | 04:58 |

So go to the actual PPA's after removing the associated text files from the sources.list.d by running gksudo nautilus then navigating from file to etc/apt/sources.list.d delete the text files with the names of the errors.

| wilee-nilee | tornado, Cool That last post could be a bit confusing I could of explained better, and I missed that you could get rid of the text in source.list.d, so the actual ppa's are the best way to learn these installs. | 05:33 |

| majnoon | better then sister's idea(try make xp live usb) | 06:30 |
| Flux|Alt | that's actually fairly simple. | 06:31 |
| Erin | Hrm anyone here good at using TOR | 06:31 |
| Flux|Alt | I don't think TOR requires a skill level :P | 06:31 |
| Flux|Alt | you either know how to use TOR, or you don't. | 06:31 |
| phonebook_ | have you tried praying to god? | 06:31 |
| Flux|Alt | ... | 06:32 |
| Flux|Alt | how could that help anything, ever? | 06:32 |
| phonebook_ | you think god doesnt know how to use a computer? what you think god is a complete moron even though he made the universe? yeah right | 06:32 |
| Erin | Ok So I just setup tor and every app except Bittorent works with it, I want to host a seedbox but I don't want my public Ip out there (im not hosting copyrighted stuff) | 06:32 |
| Flux|Alt | I just find the idea of praying to a nonexistent deity silly. | 06:32 |
| saleem | is it possible to upgrade to latest kernel series from a PPA on 12.04? | 06:33 |
| Flux|Alt | Erin, I suggest you read this: https://blog.torproject.org/blog/bittorrent-over-tor-isnt-good-idea | 06:34 |
| saleem | there is one ppa but that offeres only 3.5 series | 06:34 |
| Erin | yea yea i've seen that | 06:35 |
| Erin | blah blah | 06:35 |
| Flux|Alt | if you're not hosting pirated or copyrighted materials, I'd recommend not worrying about your IP being out there. Simply connecting to a website or an irc server gives thousands of people the ability to get your IP. :P | 06:35 |
| Flux|Alt | there's not a whole heck of a lot people can do with an IP these days. | 06:36 |

| Noskcaj | [_-S1L3NC3-_]: right click it then choose extract here | 06:37 |
| Flux|Alt | Erin, if you do insist on trying something along those lines, i recommend using a generic VPN to protect your IP. not TOR. | 06:37 |

| WarOfTheNerd | rrajbe, you can do one of two things: You can set it as a cron job which is added on boot and then gets removed after it runs each time; or you can write a program that sleeps for an hour before it does its thing! | 08:21 |
| WarOfTheNerd | bazhang, could you imagine if Ubuntu had a community phone service? ;-) (oh, the horror!) | 08:22 |
| soman | thanks guys | 08:23 |
| rrajbe | Thanks WarOfTheNerd. Will check this. But i want to use some linux libraries to put into my program and to run it with not much resource since im developing this app for mobile devices. | 08:24 |
| === Guest55354 is now known as vibhav | ||
| WarOfTheNerd | rrajbe, an app which sleeps before it loads any libs won't take much RAM until it gets going | 08:25 |
| WarOfTheNerd | rrajbe, as one can specify lazy linking at compile time so libs are only loaded as needed | 08:25 |
| rrajbe | WarOfTheNerd: so can i create a shared library which can do all required tasks and a small executable to invole the activities in the library? Will that reduce the load when task is finished? | 08:26 |
| WarOfTheNerd | rrajbe, depends on the size of the program, if it's small anyway, throwing it all in one will be fine | 08:27 |
| WarOfTheNerd | rrajbe, when its sleeping it wont have allocated any RAM for buffers or anything if you declare after calling sleep | 08:27 |
| wols | rrajbe: sure but you'd need to dynamically load it. manually | 08:28 |
| wols | easier to use cron which is standard unix program for decades now | 08:28 |
| trmbon | hello | 08:28 |
| rrajbe | WarOfTheNerd: Thanks. Any pointers or links to understand loading the library manually in the program? So that i would learn and do that | 08:28 |
| WarOfTheNerd | rrajbe, remember program scope means any variables which aren't yet instantiated or set won't have been allocated RAM until that part of the program is reached | 08:29 |
| WarOfTheNerd | rrajbe, you don't need to, the linker takes care of that | 08:29 |

| ActionParsnip | !aptitude | grumpy | 09:19 |
| ubottu | grumpy: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and higher) as aptitude cannot currently handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. | 09:19 |
| researcher | How to set file permission from current user ? My root is not visible on Login screen | 09:20 |
| majnoon | chmod | 09:21 |
| researcher | majnoon: how? | 09:21 |

| ActionParsnip | researcher: use chmod and chown, use sudo if you need extra access | 09:21 |
| majnoon | chmod <permision number> file | 09:22 |

| Legend_Xeon | I want to know on which partition is grub stage 2 files stored. I ran boot info boot info script and here are the results:- http://paste.ubuntu.com/1276470/ | 09:27 |
| Legend_Xeon | Is partition 6 same as sda6? | 09:27 |
| fincer | to check your partitions, use "sudo fdisk -l" command in terminal | 09:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Legend_Xeon: sda6 is the 6th partition on the first drive | 09:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Legend_Xeon: you only have 1 physical drive, so its a bit simpler :) | 09:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Legend_Xeon: according to your output, sda6 is a swap space | 09:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Legend_Xeon: you also have 2 swaps, which is a bit unnecessary. Both Linux OSes can use the same swap. You don't need 2 | 09:30 |
| Legend_Xeon | ok | 09:31 |
| Legend_Xeon | So that means grub stage 2 files are stored on swap | 09:31 |
| majnoon | i remember used to be able to use swap partitions with windoze even | 09:31 |
| aatj | i updated my system which included new header file and now my GUI won't start. failsafe graphic mode doesn't work either | 09:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Legend_Xeon: no, they appear to be on 2 partitions, not sure which is actually being used personally | 09:32 |
| Legend_Xeon | In addition sda2 is an extended partition | 09:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Legend_Xeon: if you use the omgubuntu 'sticking it to grub' guide, you can chroot and mess with grub from there | 09:32 |
| Legend_Xeon | Thanks | 09:33 |
| wols | Legend_Xeon: no they aren't they are stored in your ubuntu 11.04 | 09:34 |
| aatj | i have my ati driver downloaded but i cannot reinstall it "drop to root shell prompt" mode because it is read-only | 09:35 |
| user__ | test | 09:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Legend_Xeon: Natty is EOL real soon btw, you may want to upgrade | 09:35 |
| ActionParsnip | !test | user__ | 09:35 |
| ubottu | user__: Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use /join #test ) | 09:35 |
| bekks | aatj: So what have you done before? And why dont you use the ati drivers in the repos? | 09:38 |
| krababbel | For a system, which is accessed by VNC only, is the xorg package needed, or just xserver-xorg? | 09:39 |
| krababbel | I have an Ubuntu on Android install. | 09:39 |
| aatj | bekks: how can i use ati drivers in the repos when GUI won't start? | 09:40 |
| bekks | krababbel: What do you consider the difference between "xorg package and xserver-xorg"? | 09:40 |
| bekks | !details | aatj | 09:40 |
| ubottu | aatj: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 09:40 |
| krababbel | bekks, xorg seems to be a metapackage, depending on xserver-xorg if I remember correctly | 09:40 |
| krababbel | bekks: as android can't display X11 directly, you just access the X session via VNC | 09:41 |
| bekks | krababbel: I'd start with the xserver-org | 09:42 |
| krababbel | bekks: true, sorry, I forgot, I already just installed it, leaving xorg uninstalled, and it started an X11 session. | 09:42 |
| krababbel | Now it won't startup my window manager, just the root window and the mouse cursor is displayed. I am not sure how to point it to my window manager, I want: i3-wm. Before on this install, there was LXDE runngin fine already, but I don't want LXDE, so I removed it. | 09:44 |
| bekks | Because the xserver-xorg package itself is not enough to provide a working environment for starting a desktop environment. | 09:45 |
| bekks | For doing so, you need the xorg package at least. | 09:45 |
| aatj | bekks: i installed new update packet which inluded new header file. when i restarted my computer the GUI didn't start. so i tried failsafe mode but that didn't help either. I'm running ubuntu 12.04 with KDE (maybe that makes it kubuntu? )with ati HD 6600 | 09:46 |
| krababbel | bekks: OK, thanks a lot for the hint. | 09:46 |
| bekks | aatj: _name_ tha packages you installed please. | 09:47 |
| bekks | *the | 09:47 |
| aatj | how can i check that? | 09:47 |
| bekks | aatj: Erm, sorry? You dont know the name of the package you installed? | 09:48 |
| aatj | i don't :( | 09:48 |
| bekks | And a new "header file" will never cause a GUI to nont start up. | 09:48 |
| TJ- | bekks: If it is a new kernel, and the graphics driver is using DKMS, then that is possible. There was a recent issue with the nvidia drivers not building on new kernels due to the kernel headers dropping a header file (though that was when running a close-to-mainline kernel from the kernel-team) | 09:51 |
| wols | aatj: and you shouldn't use the amd drivers from amd.com. that's the only way you'd need any header file(s) | 09:51 |
| === chicognu is now known as eremitah | ||
| aatj | if my GUI won't start ctrl + alt + F1 should change to new x-window, right? | 09:53 |
| === eremitah is now known as chicognu | ||
| bekks | aatj: No. | 09:54 |
| wols | it will give you a textmode terminal | 09:54 |
| bekks | That will change to TTY1, the first text type terminal. | 09:54 |
| TJ- | aatj: No. Alt + Ctl + F1 when the X server is running and you're on its TTY will switch you to a console framebuffer TTY | 09:54 |
| TJ- | aatj: Once on a console you only need Alt + F2 through Alt+F6 to switch between the other consoles, or Alt + F7 to get back to the X server | 09:55 |
| aatj | is there any way how could i use console with recovery mode? | 10:00 |
| kurtgod | helpppppppppppppp | 10:01 |
| kurtgod | newbie here | 10:01 |
| aatj | and why "drop the root shell prompt" is read-only? | 10:01 |
| wols | aatj: of course you can. why would ctrl+alt+f2 not work? | 10:01 |
| bekks | !details | kurtgod | 10:01 |
| ubottu | kurtgod: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 10:01 |
| wols | aatj: what exactly is read only? | 10:01 |
| aatj | wols: it doesn't work | 10:01 |
| kurtgod | i cannot set permissions to a usb external drive | 10:01 |
| kurtgod | i went to launch nautilus | 10:02 |
| aatj | wols: i cannot "sudo sh ati_driver_file" | 10:02 |
| kurtgod | from root | 10:02 |
| kurtgod | even there i cannnot do it | 10:02 |
| wols | aatj: what you are doing is totally wrong | 10:02 |
| aatj | :) | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip | kurtgod: is it an NTFS partition? | 10:02 |
| wols | cause you never ever should run this command. ever | 10:02 |
| kurtgod | EFI | 10:02 |
| gartral | wols: exactly as it says: You may READ, or see the contents, but not write | 10:02 |
| TJ- | aatj: When the PC starts, get into the GRUB boot loader menu by holding down Shift, then choose to edit the Recovery option, and add to the kernel's command-line "nomodeset" - that'll get you to a *single user* environment that you can use to get to a root shell console. Note this is single-user - there is only one text console! | 10:02 |
| wols | gartral: do you have access to aatj's computer? | 10:03 |
| kurtgod | its from an apple machine | 10:03 |
| ActionParsnip | kurtgod: explains a lot | 10:03 |
| wols | kurtgod: EFI is not a partition scheme or a filesystem. it's probably HFS+ which is afaik not supported properly under linux | 10:03 |
| TJ- | kurtgod: Is the external USB device using the NTFS file-system? | 10:03 |
| Gordo | morning people | 10:03 |

| wols | Gordo: no. and you don't need it | 10:04 |
| TJ- | kurtgod: Same applies to HFS+, as wols said | 10:04 |
| Gordo | oke thxs | 10:04 |
| wols | kurtgod: IIRC HFS+ can be read but not written | 10:04 |
| wols | kurtgod: run "mount" | 10:04 |

| Gordo | during shutdown | 10:06 |
| Ponsjuh | hi i did something extremely stupid yesterday... i uninstalled dnsmasq but with it ubuntu uninstalled network-manager.. now my network is gone and with it the option to reinstall stuff.. . do i need to create a cd to recover from this stupidty or can i use my usb-stick which already has ubuntu on it | 10:06 |
| Gordo | it closes every proces and instead of rebooting it stays there | 10:06 |
| wols | Ponsjuh: how do you connect to the internet exactly? | 10:07 |
| aatj | wols: thanks for link but there is no terminal where i could write | 10:07 |
| TJ- | Gordo: OK ... you *may* be able to find an indication of what is happening in "/var/log/kern.log" or "/var/log/syslog" after you restart the PC. Sometimes a process or device can get 'stuck'. Othertimes, it can be a change in how thoe shutdown -restart signal is send to the hardware. | 10:07 |
| wols | aatj: above you wrote something in a terminal. a stupid thing but you did | 10:08 |
| aatj | TJ-: i restarted my computer i held shift down but nothing happended when grub loaded | 10:08 |
| wols | aatj: what do you have, ie to what have you booted right now? | 10:08 |
| TJ- | aatj: Did you see the GRUB boot menu with the list of operating systems? | 10:08 |
| kurtgod | /dev/sdb2 on /media/Macintosh HD type hfsplus (ro,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks) | 10:08 |
| wols | kurtgod: hfs+ and read only. no way to write to it | 10:08 |
| TJ- | kurtgod: Note that "ro" means Read Only | 10:09 |
| wols | kurtgod: I don't do PMs | 10:09 |
| kurtgod | u mean it ? NO way? | 10:09 |
| aatj | TJ, yes dualboot with W7 and ubuntu 12.04 (3.2.0-32) | 10:09 |
| Gordo | ok TJ- i wil try that thans for the tip | 10:09 |
| kurtgod | cool man | 10:09 |
| TJ- | aatj: OK, so at that menu you move the cursor to the Recovery entry, then press "E" to edit that entry. That takes you to a small text-editor style screen where you can move around with cursors and edit the text. So, move the cursor to the line starting "linux" and move the cursor to the end of it and add the text " nomodeset" . You can then boot with that modified command-line by pressing Ctrl+X | 10:10 |
| TJ- | kurtgod: You have to disable journalling from OS X to be able to use it read/write. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/hfsplus | 10:11 |
| === jimerickson is now known as Guest54594 | ||
| aatj | TJ-: ok there is linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-32-generic ... ... ro recovery nomodest line in this 'text editor style window' | 10:15 |
| geirha | aatj: nomodest? | 10:16 |
| aatj | geirha: nomodeset | 10:17 |
| TJ- | aatj: That looks correct then - it already has "nomodeset" ... go ahead and boot with that using Ctrl+X ... that should take you to the recovery text-menu, scrolling down on that should offer the option for a root shell (and you can prior to that enable networking from the menu, too). | 10:17 |
| aatj | TJ-: ok, ctrl+x and it went to recovery mode window | 10:18 |
| TJ- | aatj: That will get you a root shell (no need for "sudo"), but it is single-user so there's only TTY1 console. To return to the recovery menu after doing whatever you need, you can type "exit" or press Ctrl+D to return to the recovery menu, and from there choose the "continue to boot normally" option to get to multi-user mode. Then, to start the GUI from there (after logging in) you do "sudo service lightdm start" | 10:21 |

| wols | you can avoid this with dkms but from the looks aatj didn't do this and doesn't know how | 10:39 |

| lesshaste | I am in a hurry | 10:41 |
| * w4|k3r :( | 10:42 | |
| MonkeyDust | lesshaste the time you spent asking, could have been useful to execute the command :) | 10:42 |
| lesshaste | MonkeyDust: it is running. I am not so dim :) | 10:42 |
| aatj_ | can i check somehow that i didn't repeat my mistake again with this ati driver? | 10:42 |
| iszak | Hey guys, so I managed to successfully install ubuntu 12.04 on my macbook air 2011 4,2. However it has these gestures, which are flakey, how can I disable them? In particular, 4/3 finger click/swipe | 10:43 |
| iszak | it'd be nice actually if I could remap them to change desktops | 10:43 |
| w4|k3r | MonkeyDust, how to check for the monitors/vga cards available | 10:46 |
| w4|k3r | using lspci? | 10:46 |
| lesshaste | MonkeyDust: the answer is -xdev it seems | 10:46 |
| bekks | w4|k3r: lspci | grep VGA | 10:46 |
| violinappren | w4|k3r: sudo lshw -C display | 10:46 |
| aatj_ | TJ-: can i check somehow that i didn't reinstall wrong ati driver? | 10:47 |
| aatj_ | so the some problem won't occur next time i update my system | 10:47 |
| bekks | aatj_: So which driver did you install? | 10:48 |
| w4|k3r | bekks, the command returned two | 10:48 |
| TJ- | aatj: uninstall the one you've currently got, and use the Ubuntu hardware drivers facility (known as 'jockey') to install the driver from the Ubuntu archives | 10:48 |
| w4|k3r | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 0126 (rev 09) | 10:48 |
| w4|k3r | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 0de9 (rev ff) | 10:48 |
| bekks | w4|k3r: Then you habe an Nvidia Optimus chipset, dont you? | 10:48 |
| MonkeyDust | lesshaste found the culprit? | 10:48 |
| lesshaste | MonkeyDust: no but I have found lots of really big files in /home :) | 10:48 |
| lesshaste | MonkeyDust: which I didn't want to know about | 10:48 |
| w4|k3r | Yes, and hence compiz is not working fine | 10:48 |
| aatj_ | bekks: i have 12.6 driver downloaded from http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx | 10:49 |
| lesshaste | MonkeyDust: still whirring away | 10:49 |
| w4|k3r | plus my display is in 1024x768 mode | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | iszak: http://askubuntu.com/questions/142182/mac-like-multitouch-support may help | 10:49 |
| w4|k3r | which should be higher | 10:49 |
| wols | w4|k3r: which one do you want to use? | 10:49 |
| bekks | aatj_: You have been told to not use the amd drivers because your box will break then with every further update. | 10:49 |
| w4|k3r | the first one, Intel Corp Device | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | iZenum: seems a bit of a waste o get an overpriced mac then throw ubuntu on it, you could easily get a cheaper laptop with better specs and install Ubuntu on it | 10:49 |
| wols | w4|k3r: can you disable the nvidia one in BIOS? | 10:50 |
| aatj_ | bekks: so i have to uninstall current driver as TJ told and then go to ubuntu software center and install that one? | 10:50 |
| w4|k3r | In case I do that, will I be able to play games in Win, mine is a dualboot | 10:50 |
| bekks | aatj_: TJ- told you to as far as I read. I am wondering why you didnt do that already. | 10:50 |
| w4|k3r | wols, I read about the same to get this display working | 10:51 |
| wols | w4|k3r: I asked you something | 10:51 |
| w4|k3r | wols, mine is a dualboot, I think I can disable the same in BIOS | 10:52 |
| wols | so you don't want to disable it? | 10:52 |
| TJ- | aatj_: Once you've uninstalled the current driver using the AMD/ATI uninstaller method (whatever that is), reboot, then log-in, press the Gear icon top-right of the screen, choose "System Settings..." then "Hardware > Additional Drivers" | 10:52 |
| wols | w4|k3r: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics | 10:52 |
| aatj_ | bekks: ok my bad, sorry. what is the safe way to uninstall current driver? | 10:52 |
| w4|k3r | wols, but after that will I be able to play games in win? reason for not disabling | 10:52 |
| bekks | aatj_: Take a llok at the readme on that site. | 10:53 |
| bekks | aatj_: Maybe there is no way to properly uninstall it. | 10:53 |
| w4|k3r | wols, checking that page | 10:53 |
| w4|k3r | wols, if you check that page, it mentions bumblebee, which I have already installed | 10:54 |
| w4|k3r | my gfxCard can be switched now, but the display resolution is still 1024x 768 | 10:55 |
| wols | w4|k3r: you don't want to use bumblebee (imho). and if you do, you need to do a lot of manual configuring. but that doesn't make bumblebee any better that the awful crap it is right now | 10:56 |
| w4|k3r | wols, hmm, that means I am stuck with the 1024x768 reso until something comes | 10:58 |
| wols | no. you should simply stop using bumblebee. and check if vgaswitcheroo works | 10:58 |
| w4|k3r | wols, Nope, I checked that -- it is not working | 10:59 |
| iszak | Someone needs to tell me how to turn off 3/4 finger gestures, they're so shit | 11:00 |

| lesshaste | how do you install an exact version of something ?I want to install libcairo2 (= 1.8.10-2ubuntu1) on lucid | 11:05 |
| lesshaste | I get The following packages have unmet dependencies. | 11:06 |
| lesshaste | libcairo2-dev: Depends: libcairo2 (= 1.8.10-2ubuntu1) but 1.10.0-1ubuntu1~lucid~xorgedgers1 is to be installed | 11:06 |
| lesshaste | butI just removed xorgedgers from synaptic | 11:06 |
| lesshaste | so I am a bit confused | 11:07 |
| MonkeyDust | lesshaste apt-install installs what's in the repos, anything outside the repos needs a ppa, but that's not supported here and not adviced | 11:07 |
| lesshaste | MonkeyDust: I removed the ppa | 11:07 |
| MonkeyDust | apt-get install* | 11:07 |
| lesshaste | MonkeyDust: but somehow it still thinks it is there | 11:07 |
| lesshaste | which file has them? | 11:07 |
| k1l_ | lesshaste: use ppa-purge to remove ppas | 11:07 |
| k1l_ | lesshaste: because that removes the packages too | 11:07 |
| lesshaste | k1l_: aha.. what is the command line? | 11:07 |
| k1l_ | lesshaste: try a "sudo apt-get update" first to read in the new sources without the ppa | 11:08 |
| lesshaste | did that | 11:08 |
| iszak | jrib, thanks, that led me to synclient, which lead me to searching, which led me to http://askubuntu.com/questions/192959/how-to-disable-three-finger-gestures-on-touchpad :) thanks | 11:09 |
| iszak | jrib++ | 11:09 |
| pkkm | I want Ubuntu installations on 2 laptops to stay exactly the same, apart from hostnames, NetworkManager networks, bootloader and modem drivers. I think I can accomplish that by synchronizing "/", excluding some files and directories. What should I exclude, apart from /boot, /etc/default/grub, /etc/hostname, /etc/NetworkManager ? | 11:10 |
| bekks | pkkm: /dev, /var/run, /sys, /proc, /media - at least. | 11:11 |
| wols | pkkm: synchronizing filesystems with an OS on that are writable is a bad idea | 11:11 |
| wols | also, /var/log shouldn't be synchronized either | 11:11 |
| ActionParsnip | pkkm: just sync, then edit the files in liveCD, then reboot to the installed OS | 11:12 |
| vladimir | Hi guys ... after upgrade from 10 to 12.04 I have a problems with quality of displaying TIFF files ... do you please have any idea? | 11:12 |
| TJ- | pkkm: For the installed packages, best way is to ensure same packages are installed with "dpkg --get-selections" and "--set-selections", and use "diff -u" on /etc/ | 11:12 |
| pkkm | wols: why is it a bad idea? | 11:13 |
| vladimir | the TIFF can be displayed but not good quality | 11:13 |

| vladimir | ActionParsnip, its eog ... in gimp its very fine | 11:14 |
| ActionParsnip | vladimir: any bugs reported with eog? | 11:14 |
| iszak | bazhang, err I mean the launchpad. | 11:14 |
| vladimir | ActionParsnip, no error message in the logs ... didn;t find anything in the internet | 11:14 |
| ActionParsnip | iszak: http://ppa.launchpad.net/ take your pick | 11:14 |
| bazhang | iszak, no it's not | 11:14 |
| iszak | hmm utouch ppa must be defunt then :/ | 11:15 |
| vladimir | ActionParsnip, interresting is that in 10.0.x its working perfectly | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip | iszak: what is the address of the PPA? | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip | vladimir: if you make a new ubuntu user and log in as that, isit the same? | 11:17 |
| vladimir | ActionParsnip, i think yes, but pls wait ... i will have a try | 11:17 |

| hyde | hi, I chose wrong kb layout when installing xubuntu 12.04 (US alternate international, which has dead keys, which is kinda annoying) | 11:19 |
| uBUXUBu | has anyone seen carplips in here? | 11:19 |
| === calum is now known as pangur | ||
| hyde | how to fix this, ie. change the default layout | 11:19 |
| ikonia | uBUXUBu what ? | 11:19 |
| ikonia | ahh balsaq | 11:19 |
| MathGirl277 | I'm currently running opensuse, but I'm burning ubuntu to a cd. What do I do after it has been burned? | 11:19 |

| ikonia | I suggest you leave please. | 11:20 |
| MonkeyDust | MathGirl277 sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade;sudo apt-get autoremove | 11:20 |
| ActionParsnip | hyde: you can change the layout using the settings | 11:20 |
| iszak | ActionParsnip, thanks it seems to be called oif-team/rename now | 11:20 |
| randomDude | the oracle website is very unhelpful at the moment | 11:20 |
| hyde | ActionParsnip, xubuntu settings have currently "use system default"... and I want to change the default, not the xubuntu setting | 11:21 |
| MathGirl277 | MonkeyDust, I should have mentioned. I lost my su password, so I'm wiping the os and starting fresh with ubuntu | 11:21 |
| uBUXUBu | im having trouble getting 2nd life game to run in ubuntu | 11:21 |
| ActionParsnip | hyde: or edit /etc/default/keyboard to the language you want | 11:21 |
| ActionParsnip | uBUXUBu: did you install it from the playdeb repo? | 11:22 |
| hyde | ActionParsnip: /etc/default/keyboard, thanks, that sounds just the file I'm trying to find | 11:22 |
| hyde | looking at it | 11:22 |
| pkkm | MathGirl277: why not boot from a LiveCD, mount the partition with the system on which you lost the su password, open etc/shadow, and change the password? | 11:22 |
| pangur | As I could not manage to get Eclipse and Perl to play as I wanted, I began uninstalling Perl, then realised that this was taking away much of my system. I halted the process and have got most of it back, as far as I can tell. However, I have landed up with compiz rather than Unity. How do I get back to Unity please? | 11:22 |
| uBUXUBu | no i dowloaded it using what they call the linux dowload | 11:22 |
| pkkm | MathGirl277: easier than reinstalling Ubuntu | 11:22 |
| ActionParsnip | uBUXUBu: I'd use the PPA, far easier | 11:23 |
| uBUXUBu | ok where is that located | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | uBUXUBu: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=playdeb too hard? | 11:23 |

| vladimir | ActionParsnip, yes, unfortunatelly, the same view ... if you zoom, everything is fine (visible), but withouth zooming the lines are discontiinuous | 11:25 |
| pangur | How can I switch back to Unity desktop from Compiz, please? | 11:25 |
| uBUXUBu | no playdeb in ubuntu software center | 11:25 |
| hyde | ActionParsnip: actually found in Debian wiki, the right solution is running dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration | 11:26 |
| ActionParsnip | uBUXUBu: use the link I gave you, its not in software centre | 11:26 |
| lucignolo | ciao | 11:26 |
| uBUXUBu | ahh ok ty | 11:26 |
| freesky77 | "/home/freesky77/.xchat2/buduscript/budus.so" | 11:26 |

| ActionParsnip | uBUXUBu: I'll give a command for you | 11:29 |
| uBUXUBu | i like the playdeb idea if i see it there | 11:30 |
| pangur | k1l_: I want to be able to change from having a super-eye-candy menu thing to having just the default Unity, which I can no longer access. | 11:30 |

| k1l_ | pangur: do you want the old desktop look back? | 11:31 |
| pangur | Quite probably, k1l_ :) | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | uBUXUBu: its a PPA you add, once you add the deb, you can even use the playdeb site to install stuff | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | uBUXUBu: the deb is from this page: http://www.playdeb.net/updates/Ubuntu/11.10#how_to_install | 11:31 |
| pangur | Yes, what you have said would be a good summary of what I want, k1l_ :) | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | uBUXUBu: which you could have found using the link I gave you | 11:31 |
| uBUXUBu | ok i saved the playdeb file | 11:31 |
| uBUXUBu | ty ill open it and im sure it will unfold the answer | 11:32 |
| k1l_ | !notunity | pangur | 11:32 |
| ubottu | pangur: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 11:32 |
| skipper | hi all, how can i add a language indicator in ubuntu 12.04? | 11:33 |

| uBUXUBu | i never have luck in terminal | 11:38 |
| ActionParsnip | uBUXUBu: can you pastebin the text you see please | 11:38 |
| uBUXUBu | The following packages have unmet dependencies: | 11:39 |
| uBUXUBu | snowstorm:i386 : Depends: snowstorm-data:i386 (= 3.4.2.265141-1~getdeb1) but it is not installable | 11:39 |

| Kingsy | guys, I updated my kernel to the latest version, however the package manager this morning is trying to install an older version of the kernel on an update.. why? and how do you stop it? I certainly don't want to downgrade | 11:39 |
| ActionParsnip | uBUXUBu: I said to use a pastebin....but nevermind. Please use one in future | 11:40 |
| ikonia | Kingsy: where did you get the "newer" kernel from | 11:40 |
| uBUXUBu | ok | 11:40 |
| ActionParsnip | uBUXUBu: try: sudo apt-get -f install | 11:40 |
| uBUXUBu | ok | 11:40 |
| Kingsy | ikonia: a deb umm | 11:40 |
| ikonia | Kingsy: from where | 11:40 |
| Kingsy | ikonia: yeah 1 sec | 11:40 |
| uBUXUBu | i did it | 11:40 |
| Kingsy | ikonia: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.5.4-quantal/ | 11:41 |
| lucignolo | ciao | 11:41 |
| ikonia | so you've put that kernel on a 12.04 box ? | 11:41 |

| Kingsy | works nice | 11:41 |
| ikonia | Kingsy: why ? | 11:41 |
| ikonia | Kingsy: why have you done that ? | 11:41 |
| Kingsy | ikonia: because its newer.. why not? | 11:41 |
| uBUXUBu | i have 15 updates ro do now | 11:41 |
| ikonia | Kingsy: then you should know what you're doing if you're taking that approach | 11:42 |
| Kingsy | ikonia: really? its not hard to just install the .deb, it just worked.. if not I would have rolled back using grub and removed it | 11:42 |
| ikonia | Kingsy: honestly, why change a working kernel thats fully supported, meets dependencies and is part of your branch to an unreleased unpatched kernel for no reason | 11:42 |
| Kingsy | I don't see the issue | 11:42 |
| ActionParsnip | uBUXUBu: ok let that roll | 11:42 |
| ikonia | Kingsy: then get on with fixing your problem | 11:42 |
| BluesKaj | uBUXUBu, packagemanagement on ubuntu all use the dpkg system whether it's the terminal or software center, so the broken package/dependencies can't be blamed on the terminal use | 11:42 |

| chicognu | lol | 12:25 |
| ippo_ | chicognu: I bet it's bash | 12:25 |
| ippo_ | maybe | 12:25 |
| ippo_ | idk, i'm a total noob | 12:25 |
| chicognu | no bash is only the comand interpreter | 12:25 |
| gordonjcp | ippo_: flip to a console window with ctrl-alt-f1, log in, and say something like "DISPLAY=:0 gnome-terminal" | 12:25 |
| ippo_ | brb trying | 12:26 |
| ippo_ | oh snap | 12:26 |
| ippo_ | now it's not working | 12:26 |
| chicognu | ippo_, and to get back control alt f7 | 12:26 |
| ippo_ | I mean, ctrl alt + f1 doesn't bring me to the terminal | 12:26 |
| ippo_ | i guess this means hard reboot | 12:27 |
| chicognu | not really, there is a keyboard shortcut | 12:27 |
| chicognu | to kill a crashed app | 12:27 |
| chicognu | i don't remember what is | 12:28 |
| ippo_ | the problem is that now I don't have access to any terminal | 12:28 |
| chicognu | ippo_, you system is not really crashed at all, only one app cause a trouble to you x server and crash some part of it | 12:28 |
| ippo_ | ok | 12:28 |

| Mechdave | ippo_, ctrl + alt + F1 will drop you to a console where you can restart X | 12:30 |
| ippo_ | because I don't get to the console if I press ctrl + alt + f1 | 12:31 |
| ippo_ | yeah, but it doesn't | 12:31 |
| ippo_ | nothing happens | 12:31 |
| Mechdave | ippo_, do you have a usb keyboard? | 12:31 |
| chicognu | ippo_, control-alt-f2 it it open, run gnome-control-center and go to keyboard options something like layout configuration and options enable the option to kill the x server and then click control alt backspace | 12:31 |
| ippo_ | yes | 12:31 |
| chicognu | errr | 12:31 |
| chicognu | my mistake | 12:31 |
| Mechdave | ippo_, may not work but replug your keyboard | 12:32 |
| chicognu | ippo_, alt+f2 | 12:32 |
| chicognu | not control-alt-f2 | 12:32 |
| ippo_ | chicognu: alt+f2 is not working (it's a gnome-shell shortcut, and gnome shell is offline | 12:32 |
| ippo_ | mechdave: replugged, still no luck | 12:32 |
| chicognu | ippo_, no more ideias :( | 12:32 |
| ippo_ | thank you anyway :) | 12:33 |
| pangur | ippo, write down how to get back from console before you disappear. | 12:33 |
| chicognu | :) | 12:33 |
| ippo_ | this will serve me as a lesson | 12:33 |
| ippo_ | eheh pangur I know | 12:33 |
| ippo_ | ctrl alt f7 | 12:33 |
| pangur | Good :) | 12:33 |
| ippo_ | but i'm not even going to the console | 12:33 |
| ippo_ | so no need | 12:33 |
| Myrtti | ippo_: can you please hit the enter key a bit less often | 12:34 |
| chicognu | ippo_, enable the short cut to kill x serve on the next reboot | 12:34 |
| ippo_ | btw, if you ever wonder what the 1000th fibonacci number is, look it up | 12:34 |
| pangur | Ctrl+Alt+F1 to F6 shoudl provide consoles. | 12:34 |
| ippo_ | don't try to compute it | 12:34 |
| ippo_ | not recursively at least | 12:34 |
| ippo_ | sorry, myrtti, can do. I'm restarting now anyway, sorry for the annoyance | 12:34 |
| Mechdave | What has happened is ippo's X session has died and he has lost keyboard | 12:34 |
| Mechdave | ippo_, no mouse either? | 12:35 |
| chicognu | but how is him in the irc ? from other machine ? | 12:35 |
| pangur | How can he type if he has no keyboard? | 12:35 |
| ippo_ | mechdave: I have not lost the keyboard, I'm using it to write right now. And mouse working too. I'm on the very computer I'm trying to fix | 12:35 |

| ippo_ | for some reason that I don't understand, chrome is working, just without gnome-shell underneath. no decorations and anything, only the browser window | 12:36 |
| Mechdave | ippo_, Aha, I see | 12:36 |
| ippo_ | well, I'll just use a hard reboot | 12:37 |
| Mechdave | ippo_, may be the only way I'm afraid :( | 12:37 |
| ActionParsnip | amos: is there a router between? | 12:37 |
| ippo_ | I was just curious to see if I could restart it without killing everything. thank you all for the help | 12:37 |
| chicognu | ippo_, | 12:38 |
| amos | Aha ActionParsnip how are you? BTW am using crossover | 12:38 |
| chicognu | don't forget to enable the option to kill x server ok ? it is a very hand full, but the by default it is disabled | 12:39 |
| ippo_ | chicognu: will do as soon as I log back in :) | 12:39 |
| chicognu | :) | 12:39 |
| chicognu | see u in some minutes, or seconds if it is a ssd driver | 12:39 |
| chicognu | :D | 12:39 |
| ippo_ | oh, and just as a final joke, apparently the system can sense when I press the shutdown button and opens the dialog to let me choose what to do | 12:40 |
| ippo_ | of course, without the window decoration or anything else -.- | 12:40 |
| chicognu | lol | 12:40 |
| ippo_ | good bye | 12:40 |

| uBUXUBu | it cause i 64 bit ActionParsnip ...just will not work | 12:46 |
| chicognu | ShapeShifter499, do you consider to use a virtual machine ? | 12:46 |
| amos | ActionParsnip how do i go about with the DNS servers and domains? | 12:46 |
| ShapeShifter499 | chicognu: yes and that would be a no, doesn't work for my iphone (when I need to upgrade, jailbreak, etc) and doesn't work with Dragon Naturally Speaking (voice dictation software) | 12:47 |
| ShapeShifter499 | chicognu: also various games do not run as well as they would if they were native | 12:48 |

| chicognu | ShapeShifter499, here i have a different approach , i run windows as a host os, but everything i do inside a ubuntu virtual box, except gaming :) | 12:58 |
| chicognu | ShapeShifter499, i only don't use a linux as guest os because true crypt don't encrypt the hole drive in linux | 12:59 |
| ShapeShifter499 | chicognu: I did that before and I might go back to that solution again | 12:59 |
| ShapeShifter499 | chicognu: it just bothers me that its so hack prone, windows, even after installing every virus/firewall/anti-root kit known to man there are still ways for things to get through | 13:01 |
| ShapeShifter499 | its why I tried ubuntu in the first place as my main os | 13:01 |
| ShapeShifter499 | also its cool to be running a more "geeker" os | 13:01 |

| Toph2 | ok, nice | 13:02 |
| chicognu | ShapeShifter499, people will burn me to said that, but a windows with all updates is security as any linux... the diferent will be in the quantity of virus for windows compared to the quantity of virus for linux ... but not the power of infect a the computer | 13:04 |
| chicognu | Oday exploit will always exist to linux, windows or other OS | 13:04 |
| ShapeShifter499 | chicognu: not to sure about that, I had a virus that killed my system from even booting up | 13:05 |
| gordonjcp | chicognu: exploits != viruses | 13:05 |
| gordonjcp | chicognu: and since there are about as many Windows systems out there as Linux systems, it can't just be down to "Windows is more popular" | 13:06 |
| BluesKaj | i chatted with a russian guy on a game site who claimed he wrote viruses for linux testing :) | 13:06 |
| chicognu | gordonjcp, i know that ...I just make it clear that the really dangers thing will be unfixed vulnerabilities ... | 13:06 |
| iceroot | chicognu: windows is not secure like a GNU/Linux because windows is providing patches once a month, GNU/Linux when they are available | 13:06 |
| gordonjcp | chicognu: well there are millions of Linux machines out there with potentially unpatched vulnerabilities | 13:07 |
| ShapeShifter499 | someone needs to merge a fork of reactos with a fork of linux (maybe ubuntu) to create the ultimate linux os that runs windows stuff on the side.... like wine but much more support like usb | 13:07 |
| iceroot | ShapeShifter499: reactOS | 13:07 |
| gordonjcp | chicognu: every single ADSL router | 13:07 |
| ShapeShifter499 | iceroot: close enough :p | 13:07 |
| iceroot | ShapeShifter499: but we dont want windows stuff | 13:08 |
| iceroot | ShapeShifter499: it would be much better to have a os which does not need any non-free software | 13:08 |
| ShapeShifter499 | iceroot: true true but that doesn't seem to be happening anytime soon, with all these games and mobile devices that needs windows (or even mac os x) | 13:09 |
| ShapeShifter499 | android would be an exception :p | 13:10 |
| chicognu | iceroot, i really don't knew that ... from microsoft: A: Security-related updates are released once a month. However, if a security threat occurs, such as a widespread virus or worm that affects Windows-based computers, Microsoft will release a corresponding update as soon as possible. Other types of updates can be released whenever they are ready. It’s a good idea to turn on Automatic Updates so that your computer can receive high-priority upda | 13:11 |
| chicognu | tes as they become available. | 13:11 |
| iceroot | ShapeShifter499: there is one mobile device which needs win/osx and we dont care about people which buy a jail | 13:11 |
| works | please help. Asus laptop with boot problems: error in dmesg shows -- mmio address 0xbafe00 already in use | 13:11 |
| iceroot | ShapeShifter499: there problem, not our problem | 13:11 |
| iceroot | ShapeShifter499: ah sorry, there are two plattforms which needs windows (win phone and iphone) | 13:12 |
| chicognu | iceroot, you may be right ... i try to find paper showing how fast vulnerabilities are patched by the vendors, but i don't fond nothing ... | 13:12 |
| iceroot | chicognu: and on GNU/Linux you can patch it by yourself or let other people patch it instead of the real vendor | 13:14 |
| iceroot | chicognu: e.g. firefox. debian is not waiting until mozilla releases a fix, debian is patching it directly (not always) | 13:14 |

| klausl | Hi! | 15:19 |
| Tdaug | I tried to install Ubuntu WITHIN windows on my Compaq Presario CQ57, and I installed the demo first so I could see how it works, before installing the whole thing. On the desktop, there's a little icon that says "install Ubuntu". I click it, go through the steps, and then reboot, like it says, and every time I boot into Ubuntu, it | 15:19 |
| Tdaug | 's the demo. everything is default. | 15:19 |
| blz | I've tried alsamixer, and while my device seems to be listed, I can't manage to play sound out of it. I've tested it in unity and it works without a hitch | 15:19 |
| darkelfjuggalo | first few times it said something was missing or corrupt, after the Pendrive programs it starts then fails at various steps including detecting network hardware and softward install | 15:19 |
| wilee-nilee | sk1special, You would find what the key or keys are, but do this at powering on as if you were going to the bios. | 15:19 |
| sk1special | ahhh..you mean where it shows for the safe boot mode and that kind of thing. mmk let me try that | 15:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Tdaug: as in, mount the ISO in Windows (or burn to CD) then install using that? Is that correct? | 15:21 |
| darkelfjuggalo | unfortunately learning that destroyed my windows OS[which i wanted to get rid of in the first place] now I can't go back and fix whatever was wrong | 15:21 |
| wilee-nilee | darkelfjuggalo, Have you checked the md5sum of the ISO? | 15:21 |
| Tdaug | yes. I burned the .iso to a disk. | 15:21 |
| sk1special | darkelfjuggalo: make sure youre running the 32 bit vs 64 bit. or whichever is for your system. mine did that when i downloaded the wrong one before. brb | 15:21 |
| Npc | there is this file i have to wget after every reboot again | 15:21 |
| gordonjcp | digitalmafia: because if you have a copy of the card, you can try various different things without risking further damage | 15:21 |
| Npc | why doesn't the file stay? | 15:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Tdaug: then read the CD in Windows and installed that way? | 15:22 |
| gordonjcp | digitalmafia: imagine you have a card that is electrically failing; you make *one* copy of the card, then makes copies of the copy to fiddle with | 15:22 |

| digitalmafia | gordonjcp: yea ok i understand it...but whats the use when the card is already corrupted ?? | 15:22 |
| gordonjcp | digitalmafia: you might only have one shot at reading the card - or more likely a mechanical drive | 15:22 |
| gordonjcp | digitalmafia: it keeps the card *exactly* as it is | 15:22 |

| blz | kostkon, out of curiosity... I was looking at aslamixer earlier. What's the difference between pulseaudio and alsa and how can I know which to use in a given situation? | 15:33 |
| frwgwr | corentin: I believe I had tried that, there was still some issue. I setup ntfs-3g to be set suid then, but still i did not work because it should be statically compiled then (at least if I remember the message correctly) | 15:33 |
| kostkon | blz, the output devices are called sinks, so you need to set the default sink | 15:33 |
| blz | kostkon, haha thanks that helps a lot! =) | 15:33 |
| corentin | frwgwr: mount is already suid root afaik | 15:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Tdaug: either | 15:34 |
| corentin | frwgwr: have you tried to set uid,gid,umask ? | 15:34 |
| kostkon | blz, pulse sits of top of alsa. alsa communicates with the hardware, pulseaudio mostly replaces the default alsa software mixer, dmix, but also with more cool features | 15:34 |
| kostkon | comes* | 15:35 |
| Tdaug | ActionParsnip: And that should allow me to install ubuntu completely? | 15:35 |
| Ex0deus | anyone happen to know off hand how i can change the root username? or change the UID of root and another use to UID 0? | 15:35 |
| frwgwr | corentin: yes, ntfs-3g kept mentioning something about security and being compiled dynamically | 15:35 |
| internetN00b | any one knows of a good alternative to Navicat? | 15:35 |
| frwgwr | or something like that | 15:35 |
| Tinybird | Ex0deus: seemingly the name "root" cannot be changed | 15:36 |
| Ex0deus | i don't believe that | 15:37 |
| geirha | Ex0deus: It can be changed, but it's pointless to do so | 15:37 |
| MonkeyDust | and potentially dangerous | 15:38 |
| digitalmafia | gordonjcp: i did dd but its taking too much time and cursor is blinking is sometimes and sometimes its stuck and also i forgot that bs=4M. the card is of 4GB capacity....how much time it should take ? | 15:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Tdaug: it will ensure the NTFS is in order | 15:38 |
| frwgwr | corentin: had to do with the stuff mentioned on http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-faq/#unprivileged if I remember correctly | 15:38 |
| Tdaug | OK. I ran chkdsk. I'll restart now. | 15:38 |
| Ex0deus | its not pointless... if someone WANTED to hack a box... looking to get root access... then it can't just be assumed that the root user is root | 15:38 |
| darkelfjuggalo | I did an md5sum check, but i have nothing to compare it to... the version is 12.04.1 the UbuntuHashes page only covers up to 12.04 | 15:39 |
| Ex0deus | granted all that needs happen is to escalate any given user to UID0 | 15:39 |
| Ex0deus | sure you do... | 15:39 |
| researcher | What command do I type to authorise every user to read/write/execute each file in a directory owned by root? Please help. | 15:39 |
| MonkeyDust | internetN00b there's this .tar file http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/Navicat-Download-1510.html | 15:39 |
| geirha | Ex0deus: security by obscurity. You might slow them down 10 seconds | 15:40 |
| Ex0deus | at darkelfjuggalo you have the CLI tool compare ... man compare | 15:40 |
| blz | kostkon, tried `pactl list sinks` and I see my device (it's Sink #1 and it's name is alsa_output.usb-1130_USB_AUDIO-00-AUDIO.analog-stereo. The state is described as SUSPENDED). I then tried pactl set-default-sink 1 and also pactl set-default-sink alsa_output.usb-1130_USB_AUDIO-00-AUDIO.analog-stereo | 15:40 |
| corentin | frwgwr: oh ok then maybe it needs to be suid root, but since it's run by mount which already runs as root i'm wondering if it's really necessary, although it's fairly easy to check this point | 15:40 |
| Tinybird | researcher: chmod a+x * | 15:40 |
| darkelfjuggalo | what is CLI? | 15:40 |
| blz | kostkon, both of those commands gave me "No valid command specified" | 15:40 |
| Ex0deus | geirha: i agree | 15:40 |
| blz | kostkon, what am I doing wrong? | 15:40 |
| Ex0deus | darkelfjuggalo: Command Line Interface | 15:40 |
| MonkeyDust | command line interface | 15:40 |
| digitalmafia | gordonjcp: i did dd but its taking too much time and cursor is blinking is sometimes and sometimes its stuck and also i forgot that bs=4M. the card is of 4GB capacity....how much time it should take ? ActionParsnip | 15:40 |
| researcher | Tinybird: where do I tpe that? In that directory? | 15:40 |
| geirha | Ex0deus: There may be software that assume uid 0 has username root too, which in turn will break | 15:40 |
| darkelfjuggalo | thats how I got the md5sum for the iso | 15:41 |
| MonkeyDust | darkelfjuggalo cli is command line interface, the terminal | 15:41 |
| corentin | frwgwr: oh nevermind, it seems mount drop privileges before calling ntfs-3g so you're right | 15:41 |
| Tinybird | researcher: yes | 15:41 |
| researcher | Tinybird: ok.Trying | 15:41 |
| Ex0deus | hmm geirha ... i guess i hadn't thought of that either... | 15:41 |
| corentin | frwgwr: still need all the mentioned requirement, plus user to mount the device with correction uid, gid, and umask | 15:41 |
| minatu | hi all | 15:41 |
| corentin | s/correction/correct/ | 15:41 |
| minatu | hi all | 15:41 |
| kostkon | blz, hmmm | 15:41 |
| Ex0deus | geirha: i would guess software would look by uid... but i guess that is taking alot for granted... | 15:42 |
| ensignavenger | I have eleminated the global menu in 12.04, but I can't get rid of the top toolbar thingy- anyone know how to do that? | 15:42 |
| frwgwr | corentin: I set ntfs-3g to be suid with dpkg-reconfigure, but it complained about the dynamic FUSE-security issue | 15:42 |
| minatu | I really want to have a lunar calendar in the existing indicator-date time. | 15:42 |
| frwgwr | so I believe to do it via fstab I'd need a custom ntfs-3g package | 15:42 |
| minatu | I got indicator-datetime source from launch pad | 15:42 |
| corentin | frwgwr: is it compiled with integrated fuse support? | 15:43 |
| corentin | frwgwr: if not then you'll need to compile it yourself | 15:43 |
| minatu | But, I dont know how to touch indicator interface | 15:43 |
| minatu | Which was displayed with a calendar. | 15:43 |
| minatu | Pls, show me how to modify it. | 15:44 |
| linuxalex82 | hi | 15:44 |
| darkelfjuggalo | how do I compare in Command Line? I used command line to find the md5sum for the given file | 15:44 |
| geirha | Ex0deus: Anyway, the procedure mainly involves editing passwd and shadow | 15:44 |
| impiza | my sound not working | 15:45 |
| impiza | sh: 1: inxi: not found | 15:45 |
| frwgwr | corentin: could configuring udev solve this? I prefer not to need cutom compiled stuff in the base system | 15:45 |
| minatu | darkeljuggalo: you can use diff command | 15:45 |
| Tinybird | darkelfjuggalo: diff | 15:45 |
| Stranger^_- | Hi i can some one help us? we need some help to click on this green vote button ("Stem") on this link: http://www.norgesstyggestekjokken.no/bidrag/583 we are trying to win this new kitchen, just take a look and u see we need this kitchen | 15:45 |
| MonkeyDust | Stranger^_- wrong channel | 15:45 |
| corentin | frwgwr: if permission on the device itself is enough to solve your problem yes, otherwise i'm afraid not | 15:46 |
| researcher | Tinybird: It did not help other user access it | 15:46 |
| darkelfjuggalo | what, TinyBird? | 15:46 |
| researcher | Tinybird: No success | 15:46 |
| minatu | plse help me to modify indicator-datetime | 15:46 |
| corentin | frwgwr: if you chown your device to group users and then chmod it to 770, are you able to mount it as a normal user in the users group? | 15:46 |
| kostkon | blz, what happens if you give set-default-sink 0, which i assume is your already default onboard soundcard. does this work? | 15:46 |
| Tinybird | researcher: chmod o+x * | 15:46 |
| Stranger^_- | MonkeyDust i know this isent ubuntu relaited, but its alot of peps here, maby this gonna be some more ubuntu related, how to create a script in ubuntu that allows you to click on the vote button and afther the click it changes IP/Proxy from a list? | 15:47 |
| researcher | Tinybird: trying | 15:47 |
| frwgwr | corentin: thanks. I'll look into it when I have some more time | 15:47 |
| frwgwr | Bye all! | 15:47 |
| blz | kostkon, same thing: "No valid command specified" | 15:47 |
| Tinybird | darkelfjuggalo: the command diff will be helpful | 15:47 |
| impiza | my sound not working | 15:47 |
| blz | kostkon, and btw, pactl is behaving strangely with list-sinks as well. In fact, "pactl list-sinks" gives me the "no valid command" error, but "pactl list sinks" works =/ | 15:48 |
| MonkeyDust | Stranger^_- better ask in a channel that covers the programming code you want to use | 15:48 |
| minatu | I want to intergate lunar calendar into indicator-datetime? Pls, show me where i shoud start? | 15:48 |
| bazhang | !audio | impiza | 15:48 |
| ubottu | impiza: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 15:48 |
| Stranger^_- | MonkeyDust thx | 15:48 |
| blz | kostkon, which is strange considering that its manpage and the website you sent me list the command as being 'list-sinks' | 15:48 |
| impiza | !audio | 15:48 |
| mikubuntu | could someone help me with the commands described here to install this py based teleprompter :: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1140053 | 15:49 |
| === owner is now known as Guest86085 | ||
| kostkon | blz, yes strange. then omit the dash altogether, try giving set default sink :/ | 15:49 |
| kostkon | dashes* | 15:49 |
| impiza | bazhang, thanks | 15:49 |
| === dpac|away is now known as dpac | ||
| impiza | fixed it | 15:49 |
| === Guest86085 is now known as RealOpty | ||
| blz | kostkon, yeah i tried that and I get the same error | 15:49 |
| blz | strange, no? | 15:49 |
| darkelfjuggalo | and the help for that command is confusing the hell out of me | 15:50 |
| kostkon | blz, are you running ubuntu for example, 12.04, with a GUI? | 15:50 |
| bazhang | minatu, which lunar calendar? is there a package for that? | 15:50 |
| researcher | Tinybird: I did this sudo chmod o+x * -R in that directory | 15:50 |
| blz | kostkon, I'm running XBMCButnu, latest | 15:50 |
| researcher | Tinybird: but I still cant access fiels as a certain usr.File executions need root privilege | 15:50 |
| kostkon | blz, hmmm. try then: ps -A | grep pulse | 15:51 |
| overclucker | mikubuntu: what about the commands are you having trouble with? | 15:51 |
| Tinybird | researcher: that's confusing | 15:51 |
| blz | kostkon, 1412 ? 00:00:06 pulseaudio | 15:52 |
| researcher | Tinybird: sudo chmod o+x * -R | 15:52 |
| Tinybird | researcher: try ls -lah and feed back your result | 15:52 |
| darkelfjuggalo | ok nvm I found a list of MD5SUMs for 12.04.1 in a different location... what I have matches that list | 15:52 |
| kostkon | blz, you can install pavucontrol if you want. | 15:52 |
| mikubuntu | overclucker: first, i don't know how to cd or where to cd to, and i'm unsure the last command if it includes the last line? | 15:52 |
| kostkon | blz, it wouldn't heart. i assume that xbmcbuntu doesnt come with gnome's sound prefs. | 15:53 |
| kostkon | hurt* | 15:53 |
| blz | kostkon, is that a graphical app? | 15:53 |
| kostkon | yes | 15:53 |
| blz | kostkon, no, it doesn't. No desktop environment or WM | 15:53 |
| kostkon | blz, ok then :/ | 15:53 |
| darkelfjuggalo | How do I write directly to a USB stick in command line? | 15:54 |
| blz | kostkon, it should basically be treated as a server-install | 15:54 |
| blz | darkelfjuggalo, dd | 15:54 |
| mrsun | hmm | 15:54 |
| blz | darkelfjuggalo, more specifically, 'dd if=/path/to/stream of=/dev/sd*' | 15:54 |
| blz | darkelfjuggalo, but reading the manpage probably wouldn't hurt when using a low-level command like that. | 15:55 |
| MonkeyDust | darkelfjuggalo mount the usb stick and then write to it -- sudo mount /dev/blah some_folder_you_created | 15:55 |
| mrsun | alright, got ubuntu 12.04 LTS and with latest chromium and flash updates the interface of youtube videos etc has started to freeze up until i move the mouse and is very annoying, anyone know a fix for this? :) | 15:55 |
| researcher | Tinybird: Please help here http://paste.ubuntu.com/1277145/ | 15:55 |
| mikubuntu | overclucker: i'm just not proficient, and i need an overseer to help me through | 15:55 |
| kostkon | blz, pactl on my 10.04 actually doesn't offer the set-default-sink set-default-source options | 15:55 |
| kostkon | blz, what version of ubuntu is xmbcubuntu based on? | 15:56 |
| blz | 12.04, I believe? | 15:56 |
| mrsun | the version is realy an older version that ive updated to 12.04 | 15:56 |
| MonkeyDust | darkelfjuggalo usually, the usb stick is mounted in /media | 15:56 |
| wols | researcher why are these files owned by root? | 15:56 |
| blz | kostkon, can you remind me what the command is to check the version? | 15:56 |
| overclucker | mikubuntu: I'm guessing you may have downloaded it to ~/Downloads directory. try: 'ls ~/Downloads' to see if your downloaded file is there. | 15:56 |
| kostkon | blz, lsb_release -a | 15:56 |
| researcher | wols: After recovery from crash | 15:57 |
| blz | kostkon, 11.10. Good thing I checked! | 15:57 |
| kostkon | blz, hmm | 15:57 |
| researcher | Please help me here http://paste.ubuntu.com/1277145/ | 15:57 |
| wols | researcher: no, that doesn't expalin it. you want to chown them to the "niku" user. all of them | 15:57 |
| blz | kostkon, maybe I'm not using the right command? | 15:57 |
| researcher | wols: yes | 15:57 |
| mikubuntu | overclucker: nope, cause i'm not even sure which file(s) to download from http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/PyBookReader | 15:58 |
| kostkon | blz, or maybe that option is not there :/ | 15:58 |
| wols | researcher: what you wrote in that paste, what you want to do is wrong | 15:58 |
| Tinybird | researcher: do as wols said | 15:58 |
| ncfi1013__ | what is the simplest command to force delete directory files? | 15:58 |
| kostkon | blz, give: pactl --help | 15:58 |
| llutz | ncfi1013__: rm -rf foo be carefull, it won't ask | 15:58 |
| kostkon | blz, and see if it lists set-default-sink as an available ooption | 15:58 |
| wols | ncfi1013__: rm -rf <directory> but be very very careful with this command: no confirmation, it just deletes | 15:58 |
| researcher | wols: kindly help.Im not expert. I want anu user to acess every file in /niku | 15:58 |
| MonkeyDust | researcher 'everything for everyone' is chmod 777 | 15:59 |
| wols | researcher: I won't help you break your system even more than it already is | 15:59 |
| wols | researcher: and it's not a crash which did this but probably a command you ran | 15:59 |
| researcher | wols: then what do I do? | 15:59 |
| wols | you chown all the files in this directory to niku. I already told you that | 15:59 |
| overclucker | mikubuntu: the most recent version seems to be on the sourceforge link. | 16:00 |
| mikubuntu | overclucker: not here? http://pybookreader.narod.ru/download.html | 16:00 |
| researcher | wols: how to type that command? | 16:00 |
| blz | kostkon, hmm I don't see set-default-sink... Here's the output, in case you see something I don't: http://hastebin.com/sokibofawe.cpp | 16:00 |
| wols | researcher: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions#Changing_the_File_Owner_and_Group | 16:00 |
| Npc | i'm trying to change my wifi-driver because wifi has been working quite badly | 16:00 |
| wols | Npc: which wlan chip? | 16:01 |
| MonkeyDust | wols better don't mess with permissions etc, if you don't know what you are doing, which is obviously the case | 16:01 |
| ncfi1013__ | what i want specifically is to delete folders inside of a particular directory but not the main directory | 16:01 |
| wols | MonkeyDust: be careful :) | 16:01 |
| MonkeyDust | wols that was for researcher | 16:01 |
| overclucker | mikubuntu: that page only has up to version 0.4.11, while sourceforge has up to version 0.5 | 16:01 |
| wols | MonkeyDust: he already did. that's why he has this problem right now | 16:01 |
| Npc | Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8191SEvA Wireless LAN Controller (rev 10) | 16:01 |
| Npc | wols: ^ | 16:02 |
| mikubuntu | overclucker: ok, i downloaded (to downloads) 0.5 | 16:02 |
| Npc | so i tried following this http://unixblogger.wordpress.com/2011/10/18/the-pain-of-an-realtek-rtl8111rtl8168-ethernet-card/ | 16:02 |
| wols | Npc: and which driver do you want instead of the default one? | 16:02 |
| Npc | i downloaded from realtek's homepage a driver | 16:02 |
| mikubuntu | overclucker: and i have a terminal open | 16:02 |
| wols | oh. vendor provided ones. ick | 16:02 |
| researcher | can anybody tell me how to login as a root from command line> | 16:02 |
| darkelfjuggalo | is there supposed to be an sd* for the memory Stick? or do I call it PENDRIVE since that is what it is named? | 16:02 |
| overclucker | mikubuntu: cd to ~/Downloads and tar -xvf PyBook<tab> | 16:03 |
| Tinybird | researcher: su | 16:03 |
| wols | darkelfjuggalo: there is a sd* yes. you don't want to rename it and it shouldn't be necessary either | 16:03 |
| Npc | but that blog is for some other driver | 16:03 |
| mikubuntu | overclucker: i don't know the command to cd | 16:03 |
| Npc | and things get different | 16:03 |
| MonkeyDust | darkelfjuggalo plug the usb stick in the pc, then type sudo fdisk -l to see its dev-name | 16:03 |
| wols | Npc: what is the actual problem you encounter? | 16:03 |
| overclucker | mikubuntu: cd ~/Downloads | 16:03 |
| Npc | wols: when i'm in university network the connection is very unstable and after a moment starts only disconnecting and connecting | 16:04 |
| kostkon | blz, damn. stupid of me. give: pacmd and then try to give set-default-sink 1 in there. then type exit. | 16:04 |
| DaemonicApathy | Any clue as to the easiest way to overclock an i7-2670QM in Ubuntu? | 16:04 |
| Npc | wols: i have dualboot and performance under windows is not that bad | 16:04 |
| wols | DaemonicApathy: you simply don't. overclocking laptops always ends in tears and bills | 16:05 |
| wols | Npc: the problem installing the driver. not the problem with the wlan chip itself | 16:05 |
| mikubuntu | overclucker: ok, so now term says: ~/Downloads$ | 16:05 |
| darkelfjuggalo | my fdisk: I'm not aure which one is the USB http://pastebin.com/uyqAWiBU | 16:05 |
| Npc | insmod ./src/r8168.ko | 16:05 |
| Npc | you insert the new kernel module (the driver) into the kernel. | 16:05 |
| DaemonicApathy | Aww...ok. Thanks, wols. | 16:05 |
| Npc | i don't know what i should do with this driver | 16:05 |
| wols | Npc: bad idea. you have compiled the module and that .ko file exists? | 16:06 |
| Npc | to accomplish that thing above | 16:06 |
| mikubuntu | overclucker: what about dependencies? | 16:06 |
| overclucker | mikubuntu: tar -xf PyBook<tab> the tab should autocomplete the rest of the file name | 16:06 |
| overclucker | mikubuntu: we'll get to that next | 16:06 |
| Npc | wols: i have some different name .ko files as this is a different driver | 16:06 |
| blz | kostkon, it accepts the command, but nothing seems to have changed | 16:06 |
| Npc | and they are located in different place | 16:06 |
| kostkon | blz, you need to test it. try playing smthing | 16:06 |
| wols | Npc: you have a .ko module? | 16:07 |
| kostkon | blz, and see if it comes out of your usb speakers | 16:07 |
| wols | Npc: and if yes: what's the filename? | 16:07 |
| blz | blz, yeah that's what I'm doing | 16:07 |
| blz | sound is still coming out of the onboard speakers | 16:07 |
| kostkon | blz, right | 16:07 |
| kostkon | blz, hmm | 16:07 |
| Npc | wols: i got rtl8192se/rtl8192se.ko | 16:08 |
| mikubuntu | overclucker: bash: syntax error near unexpected token 'newline' | 16:08 |
| blz | kostkon, interestingly enough, there's now an asterisk next to 'index 1' when I output list-sinks | 16:08 |
| blz | kostkon, but that sink is listed as suspended... | 16:08 |
| kostkon | blz, hmm | 16:08 |
| mikubuntu | overclucker: still at ~/Downloads$ | 16:08 |
| blz | kostkon, shall I try suspend-sink 1 0? | 16:08 |
| kostkon | blz, is your speakers on? :P | 16:08 |
| wols | Npc: go to your kernel version directory under /lib/modules/3* for your current kernel | 16:08 |
| blz | kostkon, haha good call... let's check! | 16:09 |
| overclucker | mikubuntu: if you've run the tar -xvf command, next: cd PyBook<tab><enter> | 16:09 |
| Npc | wols: what next? | 16:09 |
| wols | Npc: when you are there, you further go down into drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8192se that's where you copy your new rtl8192se.ko file you compiled yourself | 16:10 |
| blz | kostkon, yeah they're on. In fact, the volume/mute controls on the speakers seem to work! | 16:10 |
| wols | Npc: then run sudo depmod -a | 16:10 |
| blz | kostkon, and when I unplug the speakers all sound stopps | 16:10 |
| kostkon | blz, so it works?? | 16:10 |
| mikubuntu | overclucker: tar -xvf OR tar -xf ?? | 16:10 |
| blz | kostkon, well, no... still no sound coming out... | 16:11 |
| blz | the sound is coming out of the onboard speakers, not the USB speakers I'm trying to set up | 16:11 |
| daydreamer | hi everybody | 16:11 |

| blz | wtf | 16:12 |
| overclucker | mikubuntu: i figured you would want to know that the command actually ran instead of silent output. | 16:12 |
| Npc | TJ-: yes | 16:12 |
| TJ- | Npc: Then see this bug. You may not be alone (unfortunately I don't see any definite fix, although there appears to be a workaround) bug/1000208 | 16:13 |

| blz | kostkon, it came back: http://hastebin.com/gawubonawa.avrasm | 16:13 |
| blz | kostkon, it's listed as index 2 now =/ | 16:13 |
| ahmedipa | Question1 I want to running windows 7 under ubuntu 12.04 | 16:14 |
| mikubuntu | overclucker: so, i don't know if i've 'run' it or not -- i put in the terminal: tar -xf PyBook<tab> and so i guess that's the silent one? its back to a prompt of ~/Downloads$ | 16:14 |
| ahmedipa | what is best way to do it ? | 16:14 |
| bazhang | ahmedipa, then use virtualbox | 16:14 |
| SkippersBoss | virtual box | 16:14 |
| kostkon | blz, try: set-default-sink alsa_output.usb-1130_USB_AUDIO-00-AUDIO.analog-stereo | 16:14 |
| robde | hello, i don’t know much about linux .. what should the permissions of my home folder be on a server with many users? right now it’s 711. | 16:14 |
| overclucker | mikubuntu: silent means that it ran successfully. next: cd PyBook<tab><enter> | 16:15 |
| ahmedipa | bazhang: I have virtualbox | 16:15 |
| kostkon | blz, and then try: set-sink-input-mute 0 | 16:15 |
| bazhang | ahmedipa, then install windows as a virtual machine in it | 16:15 |
| kostkon | blz, eeer set-sink-input-mute alsa_output.usb-1130_USB_AUDIO-00-AUDIO.analog-stereo 0 | 16:15 |
| wols | robde: that's alright | 16:16 |
| ahmedipa | bazhang: I have already installed windows 7 | 16:16 |
| blz | kostkon did you mean set-sink-input-mute 0 0 ? | 16:16 |
| blz | kostkon, because it's complaining that it can't parse the index | 16:16 |
| ahmedipa | just I want to control windows7 inside ubuntu | 16:16 |
| mikubuntu | overclucker: so now prompt is: ~/Downloads/PyBookReader -0.5.0$ | 16:16 |
| kostkon | blz, like this? set-sink-input-mute 0 alsa_output.usb-1130_USB_AUDIO-00-AUDIO.analog-stereo | 16:16 |
| blz | kostkon, "failed to parse mute switch" | 16:17 |
| overclucker | mikubuntu: from this point on, i am going to give you modified install instructions, so that PyBookReader will show up as an installed package in your package manager. | 16:17 |
| mikubuntu | overclucker: you're the boss of me | 16:17 |
| blz | good god this is weird... | 16:17 |
| overclucker | mikubuntu: sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev python-gtk2-dev checkinstall | 16:17 |
| kostkon | blz, then try either set-sink-input-mute 0 2 or set-sink-input-mute 2 0 | 16:18 |
| ahmedipa | bazhang: http://img4host.net/upload/1318182850799454d38a9.png | 16:18 |
| blz | I get either "failed to parse mute switch" or "no sink input found with this index" | 16:18 |
| ahmedipa | bazhang: this is the problem that I face | 16:19 |
| intrader | Anyone listening, the local cups server on the ubuntu box is capable of issuing a test page and reach the cups server at 192.168.0.105:631. So why does the print command from application not reach the printer? | 16:19 |
| mikubuntu | overclucker: wow, does that seem right, over 62 mb to install? (its installing) | 16:19 |
| daydreamer | dsf+ | 16:19 |
| robde | wols: somebody claimed that he had reading access to my home directory | 16:19 |
| robde | wols: or the webserver directory, I think (it’s 740) | 16:20 |
| blz | kostkon, however doing 'suspend-sink 0 1' seems to function, although my video lags like crazy until i reset it with 'suspend-sink 0 0' | 16:20 |
| overclucker | mikubuntu: that's right. | 16:20 |
| harushimo | I installed ssh on my ubuntu machine. I get a connection timed out message | 16:20 |
| harushimo | what do I need to check for? | 16:20 |
| wols | robde: not with 711. he might be able to list content tho. you can always set it to 700 if you want to | 16:21 |
| mikubuntu | overclucker: ok, now back to prompt of: ~/Downloads/PyBookReader -0.5.0$ | 16:21 |
| TJ- | harushimo: Did you install "openssh-server" ? | 16:21 |
| harushimo | yes | 16:21 |
| wols | harushimo: dpkg -l |grep ssh|grep server | 16:21 |
| kostkon | blz, hmm. turn it on again, then run top or htop if you can | 16:21 |
| overclucker | mikubuntu: sudo checkinstall python setup.py install | 16:21 |
| wols | harushimo: sudo netstat -anp |grep LIST check if something (sshd) listens at port 22 | 16:21 |
| TJ- | harushimo: And when you connect from another machine on the same network you get connection timed out? I'd suspect a firewall preventing incoming connections on the SSH-server PC | 16:21 |
| robde | wols: do I need to set the permissions to all enclosed files too? or only the home folder itself? | 16:22 |
| harushimo | I open up the port | 16:22 |
| blz | kostkon, I think my pulseaudio daemon crashed when I exited pacmd ... | 16:22 |
| mikubuntu | overclucker: Should I create a default set of package docs? Y? | 16:22 |
| kostkon | blz, :/ | 16:22 |
| TJ- | harushimo: As wols said - check that the process is listening. | 16:22 |
| blz | kostkon, how would I restart it? | 16:22 |
| blz | maybe i'll just reboot the whole damn thing | 16:22 |
| wols | robde: only home folder. the user has its own settings for file permissions (umask) | 16:22 |
| kostkon | blz, it should have restarted by itself? | 16:23 |
| overclucker | mikubuntu: yup, it's also ok to leave an empty description (just press enter) | 16:23 |
| blz | kostkon, I'm just going to restart it | 16:23 |
| kostkon | blz, otherwise, try killing it: pulseaudio -k and then starting it again: pulseaudio -D | 16:23 |
| blz | aah too late... I just hit the reboot switch | 16:24 |
| mikubuntu | overclucker: where is that description, in the app menu you mean? | 16:24 |
| blz | I'll keep that in mind, though | 16:24 |
| ahmedipa | :) | 16:24 |
| harushimo | I got sshd running in the background | 16:24 |
| harushimo | I just check my processes | 16:24 |
| ahmedipa | :-/ | 16:24 |
| TJ- | harushimo: Can you connect to it locally? From the same PC? | 16:24 |
| overclucker | mikubuntu: it will show up in the package information, if you were to view it in synaptic, or type apt-cache search pybookreader | 16:25 |
| mikubuntu | overclucker: if there's a way to have the description (Teleprompter) i guess that would be best | 16:25 |
| kostkon | blz, try listing the sinks, check the indexes and then run the suspend cmd against the usb speakers not the onboard card like you did above | 16:25 |
| whoever | hi all, my mouse clicks seem to randomly stop getting registerd by ubuntu. I have tried both a wireless and a wired mouse. I am on 12.04, and have also tried dist-upgrade, and I still have the same prob can someone assist | 16:25 |
| harushimo | would do you mean locally from the same pc? | 16:25 |
| Last-Zero | hey there | 16:25 |
| mikubuntu | overclucker: so just enter y for now, correct? | 16:25 |
| harushimo | I am using the same pc to run my test | 16:26 |
| harushimo | it should work | 16:26 |
| blz | kostkon, I believe I already tried that. Let me do it again real quick, though | 16:26 |
| harushimo | do I need to change something in the config file | 16:26 |
| overclucker | until it asks you if you want to include optional files, | 16:26 |
| kostkon | blz, although it says: state: SUSPENDED suspend cause: IDLE which is normal i believe | 16:26 |
| blz | kostkon, hmm looks like I broke something | 16:26 |
| kostkon | blz, you arent getting any sound at all? | 16:27 |
| blz | I'm getting pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused | 16:27 |
| kostkon | blz, damn | 16:27 |
| blz | kostkon, actually X isn't even starting up =/ | 16:27 |
| kostkon | blz, ok, just delete your .pulse folder | 16:27 |
| blz | ok | 16:27 |
| kostkon | blz, then reboot again maybe | 16:28 |
| blz | ok | 16:28 |
| mikubuntu | overclucker: ok, so now its asking: Please write a description for the package. End your description with an empty line or EOF. So here I enter 'Teleprompter'? (enter) ? | 16:28 |
| overclucker | mikubuntu: there are soem files that were needed to build it, but do not need to be installed, so make sure to answer correctly when asked about them | 16:28 |
| wols | harushimo: telnet 127.0.0.1 22 what do you see? | 16:28 |
| overclucker | mikubuntu: yes just press enter | 16:28 |
| harushimo | I'm doing that right now | 16:28 |
| harushimo | give me sec | 16:28 |
| harushimo | I get command not found | 16:29 |
| harushimo | like this: 127.0.0.1 22? | 16:29 |
| whoever | harushimo: are you asking me ? or talking to someone else | 16:29 |
| bekks | harushimo: "telnet 127.0.0.1 22" | 16:29 |
| wols | harushimo: I gave you a netstat command earlier, what is the output of that? | 16:30 |
| blz | kostkon, ok seems to be back to square 1, which is goo =) | 16:30 |
| harushimo | tcp6 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN 18760/sshd | 16:30 |
| harushimo | its running. I'm just curious why i can't connect | 16:30 |
| kostkon | blz, yes. try again to set your usb speakers as the default sink | 16:30 |
| bekks | Because it is running vor IPv6 ONLY. | 16:31 |
| bekks | Edit the sshd_config and disable the IPv6 startup, restart sshd. | 16:31 |
| blz | kostkon, hmm so I just noticed something | 16:31 |
| blz | the usb speakers won't show up in list-sinks unless I enable them in alsamixer first | 16:31 |
| bekks | harushimo: ^^ | 16:31 |
| kostkon | blz, what do you mean enable? | 16:31 |
| harushimo | my sentiments exactly | 16:31 |
| blz | kostkon, I don't know if that's of any significance for us, but it would be nice not to have to do that ever time I reboot =/ | 16:31 |
| Sahtimo | anyone here who knows how to disable activity led on logitech c510 webcam? i am using ubuntu 12.04 cli | 16:31 |
| blz | kostkon, I type `alsamixer` then F6, then I select them from the menu that shows up | 16:32 |
| bekks | harushimo: In the /etc/ssh/sshd_config: ListenAddress 0.0.0.0 | 16:32 |
| blz | kostkon, actually... nvm. It seems as though they just take a few minutes to start showing up | 16:32 |
| kostkon | blz, hmmm | 16:32 |
| mikubuntu | overclucker: http://imagebin.org/231841 | 16:32 |
| blz | kostkon, if you don't mind, I'm going to reboot and not touch it for 2 or 3 minutes | 16:32 |
| harushimo | okay | 16:32 |
| bekks | harushimo: EVERY other line containing ListenAddress should be prefixed with # | 16:32 |
| kostkon | blz, no prob here | 16:32 |
| madjoe | hi! I installed conky 1.9.0 from my Ubuntu Software Center, but when I "conky -v" it says it's still 1.8.1... any clues? | 16:32 |
| blz | kostkon, ok, brb then =) | 16:33 |
| harushimo | yeah it is | 16:33 |
| megagolgoth | hi | 16:33 |
| harushimo | i'm using a port forwarding service like dyndns.org. I've setup it before | 16:34 |
| overclucker | mikubuntu: that looks good. we wont worry about the setting dependencies or conflicts. | 16:34 |
| harushimo | i don't why this doesn't work | 16:34 |
| mikubuntu | overclucker: so just ENTER? | 16:34 |
| bekks | harushimo: Forget your forwarding for a moment. Did you restart sshd now? | 16:34 |
| overclucker | mikubuntu: yup | 16:34 |
| harushimo | no I haven't | 16:34 |
| harushimo | restart sshd right? | 16:34 |
| bekks | harushimo: sudo service sshd restart | 16:35 |
| ahmedipa | hi how to control ( windows 7 which is installed already ) inside ubuntu | 16:36 |
| Rezonoisika | hi | 16:36 |
| bekks | ahmedipa: How to control _what_ inside Ubuntu? | 16:36 |
| mikubuntu | overclucker: Some of the files created by the installation are inside the home directory: /home ... You probably don't want them to be included in the package. Do you want me to list them? [n] : | 16:36 |
| ActionParsnip | ahmedipa: how do you mean 'control'? | 16:36 |
| harushimo | sudo service sshd restart | 16:36 |
| harushimo | sshd: unrecognized service | 16:36 |
| harushimo | I got this error | 16:36 |
| ActionParsnip | harushimo: sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 16:36 |
| harushimo | I did | 16:36 |
| harushimo | its the newest version | 16:37 |
| overclucker | mikubuntu: press enter or type no to that | 16:37 |
| ActionParsnip | harushimo: sudo apt-get --reinstall install openssh-server | 16:37 |
| ahmedipa | bekks: windows 7 | 16:37 |
| harushimo | ok | 16:37 |
| ActionParsnip | ahmedipa: how do you mean 'control'? | 16:37 |
| blz | kostkon, ok I'm back with the verdict: it just takes a few minutes for the usb device to show up in list-sinks | 16:37 |
| MonkeyDust | ahmedipa mount the windows 7 partition if you want to write to it | 16:37 |
| mikubuntu | overclucker: Should I exclude them from the package? (Saying yes is a good idea) [n]: | 16:38 |
| bekks | harushimo: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart | 16:38 |
| overclucker | mikubuntu: answer yes | 16:38 |
| bekks | harushimo: The openssh-server is already installed since you have a /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 16:38 |
| ActionParsnip | ahmedipa: if you used wubi, you can access the files at /host | 16:38 |
| wols | bekks: that doesn't follow | 16:38 |
| ActionParsnip | ahmedipa: access to the files isn't really controlling it though | 16:38 |
| mikubuntu | overclucker: just 'y' correct? | 16:38 |
| bekks | wols: ? | 16:38 |
| kostkon | blz, that's not so bad, i guess | 16:39 |
| wols | bekks: you can have that config file without any ssh package installed | 16:39 |
| overclucker | mikubuntu: either y or yes should work | 16:39 |
| blz | kostkon, yeah it rather simplifies things | 16:39 |
| blz | kostkon, so anyway, what did you want me to try next? | 16:39 |
| bekks | wols: HE has a running sshd instance listening on IPv6 ... | 16:39 |
| bekks | wols: So I guess that package is installed. | 16:39 |
| kostkon | blz, try setting it as the default sink again, then play something | 16:39 |
| wols | bekks: apt-get install openssh-server;apt-get remove openssh-server. no you have the file but not ssh server | 16:39 |
| bekks | wols: And harushimo has a running sshd instance, too. | 16:40 |
| wols | *now | 16:40 |
| harushimo | trust me | 16:40 |
| tf81_netbook | in xubuntu where do i set my displays to be independent? only options i see are cloned, or one or the other | 16:40 |
| harushimo | this is always happen with ssh | 16:40 |
| harushimo | somehow I figured it out and then I forget it | 16:40 |
| ActionParsnip | ahmedipa: how do you mean 'control'? | 16:40 |
| harushimo | this time I'm writing it down | 16:40 |
| bekks | harushimo: Did you restart your ssh now? | 16:41 |
| mikubuntu | overclucker: says its done, but i don't find it in the menu anywhere under 'PyBookReader' or 'Teleprompter' | 16:41 |
| bekks | harushimo: If so, run and pastebin the netstat command from above again | 16:42 |
| tf81_netbook | anyone? | 16:42 |
| harushimo | got it | 16:42 |
| overclucker | mikubuntu: you can start the program with pybr, it should already be installed | 16:42 |
| harushimo | one sec | 16:42 |
| ahmedipa | I mean http://www.ubuntututorials.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/rdpubuntu2-400x352.png | 16:42 |
| blz | kostkon, HOLY SH*T SUCCESS! | 16:42 |
| blz | kostkon, What did we do differently? | 16:42 |
| kostkon | blz, :P | 16:42 |
| blz | kostkon, and more importantly, how do I make these changes persistent? | 16:43 |
| kostkon | blz, the question is: is it gonna survive a reboot :P | 16:43 |
| blz | kostkon, and *most* importantly thanks you so very much! | 16:43 |
| kostkon | blz, try rebooting :P | 16:43 |
| blz | kostkon, alright. reboot.... ACTIVATE! | 16:43 |
| blz | kostkon, first piece of bad news... | 16:43 |
| mikubuntu | overclucker: also it says it's been installed to: /home/mikubuntu/Downloads/PyBookReader-0.5.0/pybookreader_0.5.0-1_i386.deb .... does this mean if i delete my 'Downloads' file it will be lost? | 16:43 |
| ActionParsnip | ahmedipa: there is a way to make an installed OS run in Vbox, it is known to cause data corruption and games will not run | 16:43 |
| === user__ is now known as Lockscreen | ||
| blz | kostkon, ...exiting pacmd crashes pulseaudio | 16:44 |
| kostkon | blz, lets hope you wont need to run it again ;P | 16:44 |
| blz | yeah, you're right | 16:44 |
| harushimo | https://gist.github.com/3885303 | 16:44 |
| harushimo | this is from netstat command | 16:45 |
| blz | kostkon, although I suspect I'll have to delete the .pulse directory again... | 16:45 |
| clueful | can anyone tell me how to run a command as a service (python -m Pyro4.naming) which is a python remote object server in this case, ideally on startup | 16:45 |
| bekks | harushimo: Line 6. You have a running sshd for IPv4 now. | 16:45 |
| ahmedipa | ActionParsnip:http://www.ubuntututorials.com/connect-windows-7-remote-desktop-ubuntu-12-04/ | 16:45 |
| bekks | Now just connect to it. | 16:45 |
| ahmedipa | ActionParsnip: I found this link | 16:46 |
| mikubuntu | overclucker: so i launched with terminal, but when i close the terminal the program closed | 16:46 |
| harushimo | I've always had sshd for IPV4 | 16:46 |
| ahmedipa | ActionParsnip: but this run ubuntu | 16:46 |
| bekks | harushimo: No, you didnt. Thats whats you said. | 16:46 |
| harushimo | if I confused you, I'm so sorry | 16:46 |
| harushimo | no no | 16:46 |
| overclucker | mikubuntu: you may want to save the .deb file somewhere. it's been installed on your system, so removing the directory wont remove it from your system, but if you want to install the package you created at another time you may want to keep the deb | 16:47 |
| harushimo | I have version for IPv4 | 16:47 |
| harushimo | I'm sorry for the confusion | 16:47 |
| harushimo | IPv4 vs IPv6 matter | 16:47 |
| MonkeyDust | ahmedipa what goes wrong when you follow that tutorial? | 16:47 |
| blz | kostkon, ok so the changes are most definitely *not* persistent | 16:47 |
| Sahtimo | someone say my nick, im testing hilight | 16:47 |
| harushimo | that is my fault. I messed up | 16:48 |
| kostkon | blz, did at least it boot ok? | 16:48 |
| blz | kostkon, yeah it booted just fine =) | 16:48 |
| daydreamer | hello | 16:48 |
| ahmedipa | MonkeyDust: this run ubuntu instead of windows 7 | 16:49 |
| Guest90019 | Hi there, i have a laptop with a broadcom wireless 8.01/11n but the backtrack don't recognize the drivers. How can i do to install them ? I'm not really using ubuntu, i'm trying backtrack. I download jockey-gtk to search for drivers but it doesn't find anything. However, Linux Mint detects and activats it. | 16:49 |
| ahmedipa | MonkeyDust: I think the problem from ip | 16:49 |
| mikubuntu | overclucker: i guess i should try it out for a while to make sure its what i need (not too many open source choices out there i found) before attaching it to the menu? | 16:49 |
| kostkon | blz, ill just say becuase it takes some time for the speakers to be recognised by pulse, pulse set as the default sink the 2nd available device, your onboard | 16:49 |
| ahmedipa | MonkeyDust: ip of ubuntu such as windows 7 | 16:49 |
| blz | kostkon, my theory as well =) | 16:49 |
| darkelfjuggalo | and once more 'linuximage.bin' missing or corrupt | 16:49 |
| kostkon | blz, try uplugging and pluggin in the speakers and then try to play smthing | 16:49 |
| MonkeyDust | ahmedipa start from the beginning, what were you doing and what went wrong, before you came here | 16:50 |
| ahmedipa | y7gn | 16:50 |
| ActionParsnip | ahmedipa: in a dual boot, the other OS isn't running | 16:50 |
| ActionParsnip | ahmedipa: so there is no IP of Windows | 16:50 |
| blz | kostkon, even though they're listed in pactl list sinks? | 16:50 |
| deanfx | Is it possible to allow remote connections w/ control via SSH? I have SSH access to my linux VPS but cannot remote/VNC in. Any ideas? | 16:51 |
| overclucker | mikubuntu: that sounds like a good idea. since you used checkinstall to install the python source package the debian way, you can remove it easily with sudo dpkg -r pybookreader if you decide to uninstall it. | 16:51 |
| ActionParsnip | !vnc | deanfx | 16:52 |
| ubottu | deanfx: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 16:52 |
| cthulhu2 | Wubi installation v/s dedicated ubuntu, what would be the performance difference? | 16:52 |
| kostkon | blz, yeah, no problem with that. you can hot-plug and unplug audio devices at will, pulseaudio uses udev to check for any changes on the status of your connected audio devices | 16:52 |
| deanfx | ActionParsnip, I know that, but I cannot allow remote connections without GUI access...I only have CLI | 16:52 |
| ActionParsnip | deanfx: what will they be doing once the get the desktop accessible? | 16:52 |
| mikubuntu | overclucker: thanks a lot for the help -- now i have to figure out how to load text to it. i appreciate. | 16:52 |
| blz | kostkon, mmk | 16:52 |
| deanfx | It is for me | 16:52 |
| deanfx | It's a VPS | 16:53 |
| overclucker | mikubuntu: you're welcome. | 16:53 |
| MonkeyDust | cthulhu2 wubi is only a pseudo-installation to make yoy familiar with the ubuntu interface | 16:53 |
| ActionParsnip | deanfx: could use X forwarding, you can run the apps you want (securely) and they will show on the client system | 16:53 |
| blz | kostkon, ok so now it's showing up, but as Sink #2 | 16:53 |
| kostkon | blz, yeah, does it have the asterisk next to it? | 16:53 |
| blz | kostkon, let me just check the pacmd for an asterisk | 16:53 |
| cthulhu2 | MonkeyDust: Wubi packs the entire filesystem and everthing into an image right? So shouldn't the performance difference be only at boot? | 16:53 |
| wols | cthulhu2: it needs to access that image everytime you do an operation on disk. it will always be a lot slower | 16:54 |
| blz | kostkon, nope, the default went back to the onboard card | 16:54 |
| kostkon | blz, daaaamn | 16:54 |
| cthulhu2 | wols: It is not decompressed completely at boot? | 16:54 |

| vedic | What would you recommend for a server? 10.04 or 12.04? | 16:59 |
| blz | kostkon, mmk | 16:59 |
| vedic | From security and reliability point of view | 16:59 |
| ActionParsnip | vedic: Precise is supported longer, there will also be a later kernel which will have some extra nicenesses in. | 17:00 |
| kostkon | vedic, 12.04 server will be supported until 2017, 10.04 until 2015 | 17:00 |
| ahmedipa | sorry I feel that I want to go | 17:00 |
| ahmedipa | later I will chat about it | 17:01 |
| darkelfjuggalo | Yes Action, I Md5 the test the desktop download, then MD5 lined up with what ubuntu says it should be | 17:01 |
| ActionParsnip | ahmedipa: the only way you can do it is with virtualbox | 17:01 |
| kostkon | blz, if it works, at least you can do it manually every time you boot your system, or maybe make a bash script that does it for you | 17:01 |
| blz | kostkon, it's possible to set on-startup cronjobs, right? | 17:02 |
| mikubuntu | overclucker: thanks for help -- i'll consult with the developer about use. | 17:02 |
| vedic | kostkon: So there is no rush to update it to 12.04. I think server reliablity if more important | 17:02 |
| ActionParsnip | blz: yes, use the @boot syntax | 17:02 |
| blz | ActionParsnip, cool, thanks! | 17:02 |

| Tdaug | ActionParsnip: I've been Googling for 2 days XD | 17:39 |
| thor_ | i dont know what happened | 17:39 |
| ActionParsnip | thor_: the architectures are separate when you download | 17:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Tdaug: probably the problem..google ;) | 17:39 |
| thor_ | yes, after an update is on 64 bits | 17:39 |
| Purian23 | Ok ActionParsnip and happy it is letting me move forward, I just want to verify Ext4 or Fat32 on ntfs lol | 17:40 |
| Purian23 | Sorry for the n00bish | 17:40 |
| Tdaug | ActionParsnip: I hope I can make this work. I LOVE Ubuntu :) | 17:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Tdaug: its simple enough, resize. leave free space alone, install to free space. I recommend you remove wubi too | 17:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Purian23: the ubuntu partitions will be ext4 by default. | 17:41 |
| islandmonkey | thor_: So lets gather some info: So for some reason, Update Manager (soon to be horribly named Software Updater) upgraded you to 64 bit and nothing is working? | 17:41 |
| islandmonkey | Correct? | 17:41 |

| intrader | ActionParsnip, I am still struggling with the printer issue - sorry for interrupting | 17:45 |
| thor_ | ActionParsnip, wine only runs word, but I've installed age of mythology too, and it doesn't work | 17:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Tdaug: thats what it is, it will remove the wubi config etc and you will be left with windows only at boot | 17:45 |
| islandmonkey | thor_: Programs aren't guarenteed to work with Wine. It's a game of chance :) | 17:46 |
| ActionParsnip | intrader: i'm lousy at printers dude, I had such a bad time I made a script that runs every 10 seconds and watches a folder for new PDF files, then prints them and deletes them | 17:46 |
| kostkon | thor_, try installing the latest version of wine. it usually helps. instructions here http://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu | 17:46 |
| thor_ | i know it, islandmonkey, but the game was working well until the architecture changes | 17:46 |
| Tdaug | ActionParsnip: Would you recommend I replace Win7 with Ubuntu, or try to install it within again? | 17:46 |
| ActionParsnip | thor_: run the uninstaller app with wine and it will remove it | 17:46 |

| ActionParsnip | Purian23: you can change hostname easily enough, changing username is a bit messier | 17:50 |
| Purian23 | Will my home folder be based on my hostname or user name? | 17:51 |

| joh6nn | mysql-server-5.5 fails to install properly for me it. it fails to configure, with a message that it can't set the root password. | 17:54 |

| zivester | multiple desktops disappeared, and all the windows are on top of each other and I can't toggle between them | 17:54 |
| * zivester is checking | 17:55 | |
| allu3 | zivester: quick and dirty you could try something like mv ./.config ./.config_bak and relog | 17:55 |
| allu3 | zivester: and sounds like your wm is not running | 17:55 |
| allu3 | zivester: try going to ctrl+alt+f1 and login, write then DISPLAY=:0.0 xfwm (or is it xfwm4 ?= | 17:56 |
| zivester | ya a new user works fine | 17:56 |
| allu3 | zivester: if new user works then try with your user the ./.config thungy | 17:57 |

| allu3 | zak_: does your external hd turn on when you plug it in the usb? | 17:58 |

| zivester | relogging in? yes | 17:59 |

| allu3 | zak_: sounds like hardware problem | 18:00 |
| zak_ | allu3: yes i think so :/ | 18:00 |
| zak_ | allu3: is there any mean to access a hdd with hardware failure to try to recover some files ? | 18:00 |
| allu3 | zak_: well you might try to open the HD and watch if it has reqular HD in it, then try to attach it directly to computer | 18:01 |
| allu3 | zak_: if it manages to show up somehow you can use some dd magic to make a copy of the cd image and then use some tools like photorec to recofer files form it even if the disk couldn't be mounted etc | 18:01 |
| zak_ | allu3: otherwise it won't be detected by any computer ? | 18:01 |
| allu3 | zak_: can't know, if the data is vital you can turn to some company experted in data forencis | 18:02 |
| allu3 | which is more recommended in such case then trying to get it out by your self | 18:02 |
| zak_ | yeah sure thing | 18:02 |
| allu3 | zak_: could also be that some parts of the HD usb thingy are broken and disk works just fine, then you could buy some 15-20€ case for it and fix it like that | 18:03 |
| zivester | u know what this looks like... like unity settings are being applied to xfce... there are no menubars on anything | 18:03 |
| allu3 | zak_: but thats only if the problem is in the case of the external hd | 18:03 |
| zivester | and if it's not .config, and another user works fine... what could it be? O_o | 18:04 |
| zivester | gets weirder... if I'm logged into my test account and my zivester account... the test account doesn't work, if I log out of the zivester account, and switch back to test, it's working fine | 18:06 |

| bindi | Hello, I'm about to install Ubuntu 12.04 on my mum's laptop, she has 10.04 atm.. does Ubuntu 12.04 include a backup software that is easy to use (restoring part) and is widely configurable? I'm looking for hourly backups for a whole month, and duplicate files should obivously be only stored once | 18:13 |
| bindi | if not, can anyone recommend me one that does that? :) | 18:14 |
| trism | _Tristan: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#disabling-a-job-from-automatically-starting | 18:14 |
| islandmonkey | bindi: Yep, Deja Dup | 18:14 |
| islandmonkey | bindi: It's installed by default | 18:14 |
| bindi | i'll look into what it has to offer then :) thanks | 18:14 |
| _Tristan | trism: will I still be able to start it manually with "start thingy" ? | 18:14 |
| resure | Good day. What is the best way to add some node.js app as service that runs under some user with some env variables? | 18:15 |
| resure | (ubuntu server 12.04) | 18:15 |
| trism | _Tristan: for the commenting out the start on stanza or override options yet, if you rename the file, no | 18:15 |
| trism | _Tristan: yet = yes | 18:15 |
| islandmonkey | resure: Join #ubuntu-server, you might get better help there | 18:16 |
| bindi | hmm.. islandmonkey: can deja dup show me a gui similiar to nautilus (the file listing and names) of the files to restore? | 18:16 |
| resure | islandmonkey: thanks | 18:16 |
| bindi | trying to google some pics but unsure :) | 18:16 |
| _Tristan | trism: so I can just change "start on blahblah" to "#start on blahblah" ? | 18:16 |
| === dark3n|off is now known as dark3n | ||

| RobOakes | Does anyone know the best place to ask packaging related questions? | 18:17 |
| _Tristan | trism: so to do it with an override file, would I copy the original file to thingy.conf.override and then make chances? | 18:18 |

| _Tristan | oh | 18:18 |
| wols | deadmund: tried to use fglrx? | 18:18 |

| Purian23 | Okay guys, got ubuntu installed to say reboot, I rebooted only for it to come up "Missing Operating System" Any ideas? | 18:23 |
| deadmund | Purian23: There are a couple possiblities, you booted the wrong hdd | 18:24 |
| deadmund | Purian23: or you removed grub | 18:24 |
| deadmund | Purian23: or the whole OS really is missing! :) | 18:24 |
| Geox | ubuntu is really unstable thats all :P' | 18:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Purian23: did you install grub ok? | 18:24 |
| Persona24 | What's the command to wipe a hard drive? | 18:24 |
| Purian23 | ActionParsnip i'm not sure what grub is, so probably not ;( | 18:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Persona24: you can use dban or dd | 18:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Purian23: its part of the defaul install process. Do you use RAID? | 18:25 |
| Persona24 | ActionParsnip, I remember it being longer than that. . . It's the command that newbies should never, ever, ever do | 18:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Persona24: look into dban guides :), you can install it in the liveCD (assuming you have web access) | 18:26 |
| Purian23 | I have a very bad situation, my dell xps laptop has a broken screen. I"m using an external display. I had my pc to boot from usb so I could install ubuntu onto my hd. . so when it asked to reboot | 18:26 |
| Purian23 | I switched bios to boot from hard drive | 18:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Purian23: boot to liveCD and run: sudo grub-install /dev/sda assuming /dev/sda is the Ubuntu drive | 18:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Purian23: or you can boot to the installation media, then tell it to boot the installed OS (sneaky) | 18:27 |
| Seryth | Woah, are the Ubuntu version numbers release dats? 5.04 was released in april 2005... 12.04 was in april 2012 O.o | 18:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Purian23: you can then run the command from the installed OS | 18:27 |
| Purian23 | It finnicky, bc I have to select the perfect time on boot up to hit my external display switch. | 18:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Seryth: yes, thats exactly it. Very logical | 18:27 |
| overclucker | Flux|Alt: do you have loopback devices? ls /dev/loop* | 18:27 |
| overclucker | ah, he's gone | 18:28 |

| Persona24 | ActionParsnip, shred -vfz -n 10 /dev/hda what would this do? haha | 18:28 |
| Persona24 | (don't try it obviously) | 18:28 |
| Seryth | ActionParsnip: I see! Also, what happens when the release codenames reach z? | 18:28 |
| Purian23 | ActionParsnip which would be easier, liive cd boot then hit the intsall ubuntu on the desktop link, or the sneaky part you mentioned that i'm unsure of lol | 18:29 |
| islandmonkey | Sertyh: I'll start again with A, probably | 18:29 |

| mikubuntu | islandmonkey: yes, but i want android on my ubuntu, not ubuntu on my android | 18:31 |
| Purian23 | Okay ActionParsnip I will try that, just dbl click it and go right? Also should I still do the boot to liveCD and run: sudo grub-install /dev/sda before or after that part on the install desktop | 18:32 |
| islandmonkey | mikubuntu: Despite the name, that's what it is. | 18:32 |
| mikubuntu | islandmonkey: well, MAYBE i will want ubuntu on my android, but not what i'm looking for just this minute | 18:32 |
| mikubuntu | islandmonkey: huh? | 18:32 |

If from I connect to localhost:631 and open the Administration tab and chose the printer, localhost cups automatically connects to the remote cups and it is able therefore to print a test page. However other application are not able to print | 19:38 |

| unsobill | tozen, in any case i mount ntfs drives no problem manually | 19:38 |
| unsobill | i just want to automatize it | 19:39 |
| tozen | unsobill, well if u want to automount ntfs, u need to change fstab | 19:39 |
| Re-L | Why i getting execvp: /bin/bash: Argument list too long | 19:39 |
| overclucker | unsobill: of you follow the symlink for /sbin/mount.ntfs it points to /bin/mount.ntfs which points to /bin/ntfs-3g | 19:40 |
| Crypticus | ejv: That's fine and daddy, but I am looking for a way to sync the changes back and forth when the laptop is "roaming" | 19:40 |

| unsobill | tozen, ntfs driver i think installed by default in 12.04 | 19:41 |
| unsobill | read overclucker post ^ | 19:41 |
| ejv | Crypticus: you could always mount your nfs share to a seperate non-home dir, like /mnt/roaming, then rsync /home/user /mnt/roaming, a little spartan I know, but gets it done :) | 19:41 |
| unsobill | tozen, its just simlink | 19:41 |
| overclucker | unsobill, tozen: i believe nautilus uses automount which uses autofs and is configured in it's on config file | 19:41 |
| ejv | Crypticus: if you want anything super sophisticated you'll need to go the NFS/NIS/LDAP/Kerberos route, which im sure are all documented in great detail | 19:42 |

| unsobill | forgot command to find uuid | 19:42 |

| livingdaylight | gnome shell | 20:59 |
| allu3 | _jmz_: yes, programs like htop can show swap usage as "used/free" i'd think system monitor allows to see that as well | 21:00 |
| allu3 | livingdaylight: gnome-tweak-tool might allow showing seconds.. might remember wrong | 21:00 |

| allu3 | livingdaylight: no problem :) | 21:10 |
| ubottu | To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 21:10 |

| i3luefire | so i want to downsize my ext4 /home partition but i cant take it offline because there are many programs using it. how do i stop all the programs using it at once? | 21:10 |
| allu3 | lesshaste: you should be able to view them in the software sources | 21:10 |
| lesshaste | allu3: which tool is that from the command line? | 21:11 |
| Church | i3luefire: there is option to boot from other media, eg. usb or cdrom, and then work on that partition | 21:11 |
| lesshaste | i3luefire: that seems to be a contradiction | 21:11 |
| guntbert | i3luefire: use a live CD, but be careful, you have to shrink the file system first and then the partition | 21:11 |
| allu3 | lesshaste: software-properties-gtk i guess | 21:11 |
| lesshaste | thanks | 21:11 |
| Church | i3luefire: there is comand fuser -kcu /dir .. but are your sure you want to kill all processes using that fs? | 21:11 |
| allu3 | lesshaste: also for managing ppa's have a look at this http://www.webupd8.org/2012/08/y-ppa-manager-0090-released-with-new.html | 21:12 |
| OerHeks | lesshaste, check /etc/apt/sources.list | 21:12 |

| altech2k3 | I suppose runlevel 2 is no longer an option. | 21:12 |
| livingdaylight | while I'm here can I ask, what I should set my power setting for the laptop lid down - hibernate or suspend for ac and battery respectively | 21:12 |
| lesshaste | OerHeks: thanks.. strangely that doesn't seem to list everything | 21:13 |
| allu3 | livingdaylight: depends what you want | 21:13 |
| livingdaylight | allu3, not sure what the difference is. Whatever is best for laptop really | 21:13 |
| altech2k3 | i3uefire: how many users are accessing the ext4fs? | 21:13 |
| allu3 | livingdaylight: hibernation uses 0 battery and saves the state to disc, suspend uses little battery and saves the state to ram | 21:14 |
| livingdaylight | allu3, thx for explaining. Sounds like I shouuld set to hibernation on battery and suspend on ac | 21:14 |
| allu3 | livingdaylight: starting from ram is lot quicker and its a great way to save some energy if you go to make some coffee etc while not on ac power | 21:14 |
| allu3 | livingdaylight: that one way, personally while ac i don't suspend or hibernate my laptop on lid close but do it manyally if i have to | 21:15 |
| allu3 | livingdaylight: as on ac there is no risk for battery running out | 21:15 |
| i3luefire | altech2k3, it is my home server. i am the only actual user. but there may torrent clients, znc, apache, and so on running | 21:15 |
| lesshaste | allu3: I still get libcairo2-dev: Depends: libcairo2 (= 1.8.10-2ubuntu1) but 1.10.0-1ubuntu1~lucid~xorgedgers1 is to be installed | 21:15 |
| lesshaste | allu3: how can I stop that? | 21:15 |
| JeF_ | hi. I got a problem with temperature. Ubuntu says that it's critical 130C just after I start my laptop | 21:15 |
| livingdaylight | allu3, but you don't want the machine running while the lid is down, do you? or makes no difference? I guess not | 21:15 |
| allu3 | lesshaste: have you tried apt-get install -f ? (and you are running in dangeroud zone, might want to take backups | 21:15 |
| lesshaste | allu3: no :) seems a little dangerous | 21:16 |
| allu3 | livingdaylight: well then on ac suspend, and battery hibernate seems good | 21:16 |
| lesshaste | allu3: I don't want the xorg-edges version at all | 21:16 |
| lesshaste | allu3: why does it think it will install it? | 21:16 |
| allu3 | lesshaste: i'd just run the ppa purge m then run the apt-get install -f as long as i have to and pray :P | 21:16 |
| lesshaste | I would like to understand why it thinks it wants to install something from a ppa that has been purged | 21:17 |
| lesshaste | I did the purging alraedy | 21:17 |
| allu3 | lesshaste: do apt-get update | 21:17 |
| lesshaste | I did | 21:17 |
| lesshaste | it must be that the installed version is from xorg-edgers maybe? | 21:17 |

| grymmjack | Does anyone know how to get nvidia 8800 GTS multiple displays setup? I've installed the Additional Driver, but it actually forced me to use unity2d.

I've since reinstalled 12.04LTS and am using the default post-install nvidia driver, which put me into 3d mode. *shrug* | 21:24 |

| i3luefire | if i resort to the live cd method i may just go ahead and make the switch to arch linux | 21:33 |
| guntbert | i3luefire: to safely resize the partition your best bet is using a live CD, or else what altech2k3 suggested before - you are stronlgy urged to reverse that asap - some day you will defintely need a simple video card in that machine anyway | 21:34 |
| altech2k3 | I concede to the LiveCD. It's best to take the primary disk offline before changing the partition/filesystem size and editing the partition table. | 21:35 |
| i3luefire | it is on lvm too so there are 3 physical disks one of which has the / partition and the rest lvm | 21:37 |

| ubottu | michael_: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 22:03 |
| simplew | trism, i cant find that, im running quantzal | 22:03 |
| zykotick9 | simplew: reask in #ubuntu+1 then | 22:04 |
| trism | simplew: it was moved around a bit but if you upgrade it should reappear it was just added back (though I can't say if it still works) | 22:05 |
| michael_ | I have a USB adaptor connected to my PC, with 8 USB memory sticks plugged into the adaptor. I have the same file abc.avi that I'd like to transfer to every memory stick. Besides going through each memory stick separately is their a way I can automate this write process in Ubuntu (10.04)? | 22:05 |
| TheLordOfTime | michael_, a script could be used to copy to each device, but what you ask for doesn't exist "out of the box" as far as I'm aware. | 22:05 |
| sk1special | oaky. it says for realtex ethernet controller (insert random error codes ) media test failure / exiting PXE rom | 22:05 |
| altech2k3 | Yeah, write a script to copy them | 22:06 |
| simplew | trism, theres not such entry in dconf running quantzal | 22:06 |
| sk1special | error no such device grub rescue * sorry | 22:06 |
| altech2k3 | Because I think 'cp' can only use 1 destination? | 22:06 |
| TheLordOfTime | simplew, if you're on quantal, ask in #ubuntu+1 | 22:06 |
| TheLordOfTime | simplew, quantal's not officially released yet, so support for it is in the +1 channel. | 22:06 |
| sk1special | when i hit f12 that is. but its not bringing up the menu to select which device i want at all and i know its bootable cus it works on my other pc and i can tell its not reading it at all from the status lights | 22:07 |
| michael_ | I'm not very proficient at BASH scripting yet, is there no existing application that could achieve this? | 22:07 |
| michael_ | I wouldn't even know what to search | 22:07 |
| TheLordOfTime | michael_, if you give me details, i'll write a script, but... | 22:07 |
| TheLordOfTime | michael_, you'd need to give me more details. mount points for each device, etc. | 22:07 |
| altech2k3 | correct, TheLordOfTime. | 22:08 |
| === Youri is now known as YBook | ||
| TheLordOfTime | altech2k3, if he gave me the info, i'd write the script, but it would be pretty static. | 22:08 |

| sk1special | is there a way tp just completely disable grub? but to where i can turn it back on later or still get into ubuntu to turn it back on? | 22:09 |
| altech2k3 | Bah, C++ to copy files to more than one filesystem. Seems too much work. | 22:09 |
| TheLordOfTime | altech2k3, i meant for a more dynamic copier. so you can pick and choose where to copy to/from | 22:09 |
| himynameis | Has anyone had luck partitioning a flash drive to where one part is for a Ubuntu bootable and the other is for regular storage? | 22:09 |
| TheLordOfTime | altech2k3, but i'm too busy for that one, so... | 22:09 |
| altech2k3 | Then again, you could read in the list of destination directories and just 'cp' from origin to destination one-at-a-time. | 22:10 |
| altech2k3 | But I could never figure BASH's listed read-ins | 22:10 |
| michael_ | That's very generous of you TheLordOfTime I will figure something though | 22:10 |
| himynameis | Hate to bother, has anyone had luck partitioning a flash drive to where one part is for a Ubuntu bootable and the other is for regular storage? | 22:11 |
| TheLordOfTime | michael_, unless you want to manually copy from one location to another, writing a script (which i can do) may expedite it, but fi a device goes away, the script'll break. | 22:11 |
| TheLordOfTime | !repeat | himynameis | 22:11 |

| himynameis | Who here uses Ubuntu from USB? | 22:15 |

| zykotick9 | gry: well i've never heard of it before, and ppa was my only suggestion. i got nothing further :( best of luck. | 22:36 |
| zykotick9 | gry: compile for source (horrible idea on ubuntu!). why do you need it (there better be a GOOD reason - you might want to see "/msg ubottu latest") | 22:37 |
| gry | because I don't see a good python 2 alternative. I might just wait for the 12.10 to come out, maybe | 22:38 |

| zufyan | hey guys after upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10 I've lost all of my installed from source applications :S I am now making an external drive for future applications | 22:41 |
| zufyan | I didn't have this problem with previous upgrades ! I don't know is this a new "feature"! ??? | 22:41 |
| zykotick9 | gry: are you sure you have the right name? even in quatal "!info python-babel quantal" only shows 0.9.6-1build1 (quantal), and python3-babel does not exist. | 22:41 |
| iceroot | zykotick9: #ubuntu+1 | 22:41 |
| iceroot | .. | 22:41 |
| iceroot | zufyan: #ubuntu+1 | 22:41 |
| iceroot | zufyan: 12.10 is a beta | 22:41 |
| === ztag100 is now known as Guest72166 | ||
| zufyan | iceroot: you mean this is why ? | 22:42 |
| === ztag100_ is now known as ztag100 | ||
| iceroot | zufyan: please use the channel #ubuntu+1 | 22:42 |
| iceroot | zufyan: and dont use beta releases if you want it to run fine | 22:42 |
| zufyan | sorry I'm new to IRC channels | 22:43 |
| gordonjcp | zufyan: avoid installing stuff from source | 22:43 |
| iceroot | zufyan: no problem, this channel is for all supported stable releases for ubuntu, the channe #ubuntu+1 is always for the next coming ubuntu release which is not stable yet | 22:43 |
| zufyan | iceroot: alright, but tell me I find it hard to track all the installed software by apt, that's why I install from source | 22:44 |
| gordonjcp | zufyan: "track" in what sense? | 22:45 |
| iceroot | zufyan: tracking something build from source is hard | 22:45 |
| zufyan | it's hard to get the version installed and to remove them, and I don't know what r the dependencies | 22:46 |
| iceroot | zufyan: tracking something installed with apt-get is easy (dpkg -l, the list from the software-center, the overview from aptitude and so on) | 22:46 |
| zufyan | emm | 22:46 |
| iceroot | zufyan: to see the version "dpkg -l packagename" | 22:46 |
| zufyan | I guess I just have to learn more about apt | 22:46 |
| iceroot | zufyan: or "apt-cache policy packagename" | 22:46 |
| gordonjcp | zufyan: What exactly are you trying to do? | 22:46 |
| iceroot | !apt | zufyan | 22:46 |
| ubottu | zufyan: 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) | 22:46 |
| yaaang | Why is Ubuntu continually discarding the IP address I'm assigning with "sudo ip addr add ..."? How do I stop this from happening? | 22:46 |
| yaaang | I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 | 22:47 |
| iceroot | yaaang: because what you are doing is not a permanet chnage and will not survive a reboot for example | 22:47 |
| yaaang | iceroot: Then how do I set it properly? | 22:47 |
| iceroot | yaaang: e.g. with the network-manager or /etc/network/interfaces | 22:48 |
| yaaang | iceroot: Well, I realize "sudo ip addr add" won't survive a reboot - I'm only trying to use it for this session - but even after a few minutes, it resets that interface | 22:48 |
| yaaang | iceroot: I'm temporarily connecting this Ubuntu box with a laptop to transfer a bunch of files quickly | 22:48 |
| iceroot | yaaang: maybe because you are using dhcp on the network and network-manager is own the settings from sudo ip addr add | 22:49 |
| zykotick9 | iceroot: (sorry) but using the word "stable" re:ubuntu is incorrect. Once a release comes out it's called FinalRelease (not stable) see "/msg ubottu schedule" | 22:49 |
| yaaang | iceroot: The two hosts share a direct Ethernet link and are not on a network controlled by any DHCP server | 22:49 |
| iceroot | zykotick9: hm | 22:49 |
| zykotick9 | iceroot: stable is a debian term | 22:49 |
| iceroot | zykotick9: yes | 22:49 |
| iceroot | zykotick9: and 12.10 is not called unstable? i thought there is unstable in /etc/issue | 22:50 |
| zufyan | iceroot: thanx for the help, I'll read more about that. I have one more question. sometimes the version of software on apt repositories is old, does using ppa from created by other people a good thing ? | 22:50 |
| iceroot | zykotick9: and a final release is something imo which will never change but 12.04 will change (sec updates and sometimes more then just a sec update (firefox)) | 22:50 |
| zykotick9 | iceroot: unstable is also a debian term ;) development releases in ubuntu where historically the name of the release it was based on + sid ;) but i'm not current on ubuntu releases anymore... | 22:51 |
| iceroot | zykotick9: i know it is a debian term but i thought we used it in /etc/issue too | 22:51 |
| zykotick9 | iceroot: ya "firefox" is my "go-to" example why ubuntu is not stable in the "unchanging versions" sense of the word | 22:51 |
| gabber | Ciao! | 22:51 |
| iceroot | zykotick9: that would be my example why it is not final :) | 22:52 |
| zykotick9 | iceroot: final = yes. stable = no. | 22:52 |
| iceroot | zykotick9: :) | 22:52 |
| iceroot | zykotick9: let me rephrase it. #ubuntu is the channel for all current supported releases, #ubuntu+1 is the channel for the current development version :) | 22:53 |
| zykotick9 | iceroot: +1 ;) | 22:53 |
| zufyan | iceroot: thanx for the help, I'll read more about that. I have one more question. sometimes the version of software on apt repositories is old, does using ppa from created by other people a good thing ? | 22:54 |
| zykotick9 | iceroot: "supported releases" is really good actually. and will become more important with time! as 12.04 is 5 years desktop support. how fun will that be? | 22:54 |
| iceroot | zykotick9: 10.04 (server) 12.04 and 14.04 + the 18 months releases which are supported in that time... | 22:55 |
| zykotick9 | if people thing lucid is old at this point, just wait! | 22:55 |
| iceroot | we need more (sec) maintainers | 22:55 |
| iceroot | zufyan: no because ppas are not supported | 22:56 |
| javier_nicolas | I have a question. Is it schedule release new Libre Office via official repositories of Ubuntu in Ubuntu 12.04? | 22:56 |
| iceroot | zufyan: but old is not always bad, because old means (often) also stable ( zykotick9 :) ) | 22:56 |
| iceroot | javier_nicolas: no | 22:57 |
| zykotick9 | javier_nicolas: 12.10 will have a new libreoffice (and almost everything else). but in a particular release, packages "historically" don't get updates. | 22:57 |
| iceroot | javier_nicolas: normally not, we dont bring new versions within one ubuntu release, we just fix security issues | 22:57 |
| zykotick9 | iceroot: i should have mentioned the security fixes ;) | 22:58 |
| === jack is now known as Guest95941 | ||

| blackshirt | crazygir, if you using dns server, i thinh there | 23:00 |
| iceroot | javier_nicolas: if i am correct libreoffice is an exception like firefox and thunderbird because the vendor (libreoffice foundation) is only providing new releases and not backporting security fixes | 23:00 |

| zykotick9 | _basic6_: do you have a console-data? "sudo dpkg-reconfigure console- | 23:35 |
| zykotick9 | data" | 23:35 |
| _basic6_ | zykotick9: yes, iv've just tried that and it asked a few questions like encoding (utf-8) and font size, but no layout | 23:35 |

| _basic6_ | zykotick9: so how do i reset the keyboard layout now? i've seen a couple of howtos and none of them work. can't be that complicated /unusual | 23:38 |

| zykotick9 | _basic6_: sorry i don't know. best of luck. | 23:38 |
| Benxyzzy | wols: Thanks for your help, is this a list of stuff I shouldn't delete from boot? | 23:39 |
| zykotick9 | Benxyzzy: wols +1. yes you can uninstall unsused kernels. having a separate /boot doesn't make sense in modern times IMO. best of luck. | 23:40 |
| wols | Benxyzzy: no. what does the list say? | 23:40 |
| wols | zykotick9: it does. RAID | 23:40 |
| Benxyzzy | zykotic9: So basically I've ended up with multiple kernels installed, and I need to uninstall them all? | 23:40 |
| doomlord_ | is it possible to get an icon-per-desktop on the launcher-bar in unity. | 23:41 |
| zykotick9 | wols: true. RAID is something i disagree with on a desktop, for servers - yes. | 23:41 |
| wols | you really don't want to uninstall them all or you get a nasty surprise next time you boot | 23:41 |
| zykotick9 | Benxyzzy: i'd recommend removing all BUT 2!! your currently, and one "known good" kernel. | 23:41 |
| wols | and you want to not just uninstall them either | 23:41 |
| doomlord_ | (a possible way to hack it, make a shell script to warp to desktop, give that an icon and slap it onthe launcher-bar ? .... but it would be nice to have the desktop-thumbnail like in gnome2 | 23:42 |
| Abin | heyy.. but I'm getting a warning " cannot send to channel" :( | 23:42 |
| zykotick9 | Benxyzzy: also, i'd suggest you see "/msg ubottu tab" typing z-y-k-o-t-i-c-k-9 is a HUGE pain, use TAB to autocomplete. | 23:42 |
| wols | Abin: in which channel are you? | 23:42 |
| Benxyzzy | wols: The list contains 8 entries for Linux kernel image for version 3.2.0 (subversion 23 thru 32 except 28 which isn't there), plus one last entry which just says "Generic Linux kernel image" | 23:42 |
| Abin | ##linux | 23:42 |
| wilee-nilee | Abin, You have to be registered for that channel | 23:43 |
| zykotick9 | Abin: you might need to see "/msg ubottu register" | 23:43 |

| zykotick9 | !atemyram | BlackDalek | 23:52 |
| ubottu | BlackDalek: If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | A short primer on Linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html | 23:52 |

| arooni-mobile | how do i set the media keys on my t420 ubuntu 12.04 laptop set to clementines shortcuts?? | 23:54 |
| BlackDalek | zykotick9, wols - But in my case, when the usage gets to 98/99% usage, the whole system slows to a crawl... mouse pointer freezes intermittently, takes ages for anything to respond etc... Doesn't sound normal to me. And as soon the browser is closed, memory usage plummets back to about 35% and system responds normally again.. | 23:55 |
| zykotick9 | wols: but my memory is rarely full ;) high cpu i can manage, when my system needs swap for memory - it's horribly slow. right now it's find and my current load is 8.49 9.45 9.70 but swap on only barely being used (only 4GB on my box :(.. ) | 23:55 |
| daym0n | BlackDalek: what browser? | 23:55 |
| zykotick9 | BlackDalek: get more physical memory - or run less ;) | 23:56 |
| BlackDalek | daym0n, any browser probably... currently noticing problems with both firefox and chromium... and zykotick9, the problem occurs when a browser is the only thing running. | 23:57 |
| zykotick9 | BlackDalek: if swap is being used as memory, a lot - things get VERY slow. much slower then when the cpu is taxed. IMO | 23:57 |
| Benxyzzy | I just uninstalled all the old kernels but there's still no free space in /boot. I've only got 3.2.0-31.50, 3.2.0-32.51, and 3.2.0-32.35 left according to dpkg -l . Is there anything else I need to do to free the space in /boot? Can I just delete the files? | 23:57 |
| zykotick9 | BlackDalek: check swap usage from "free" in a terminal | 23:57 |
