| jrib | satwood: what kind of conf files? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| ActionParsnip | satwood: possibly, they are only files, so you can just rename the original back in. | 00:00 |
| Netham45 | Also, once I switch to an X console, I can't switch to any text-based VTs. It's either solid black, or I experience a full system lock. | 00:00 |
| brontosaurusrex | stephanb: ok, i get it now | 00:00 |
| satwood | jrib: ActionParsnip: conf files for exim4, dovecot, openvpn etc. I didn't get "can just rename the original back in." | 00:00 |
| birarda | wondering if anyone might be able to help with an iptables problem | 00:01 |
| birarda | I'm getting can't initialize iptables table `nat' | 00:01 |
| birarda | says table does not exist | 00:01 |
| jrib | satwood: it's more of a version issue; if the version of the software is the same (or you know the conf file format/settings have not changed), it should be fine | 00:01 |
| ActionParsnip | satwood: well, if there is a conf file already there, rename it then copy the Ubuntu one in | 00:01 |
| birarda | lsmod doesn't show anything related to iptables | 00:01 |
| brontosaurusrex | stephanb: and your server is linux as well? | 00:01 |
| satwood | got it, thanks guys | 00:01 |
| stephanb | brontosaurusrex: i think so, it's some generic NAS | 00:02 |
| satwood | i assume ubuntu also has paths as /etc/exim4, /etc/dovecot, /etc/openvpn etc. ? | 00:02 |
| brontosaurusrex | stephanb: can you ssh to that thing? | 00:03 |
| stephanb | brontosaurusrex: nope :( | 00:03 |
| conley | I upgraded to 12.10, and now I'm getting an error about dpkg returning an error code. I've tried dpkg --configure -a but it's still broken | 00:04 |
| brontosaurusrex | well, then there must be a way to mount this samba share into the system somehow | 00:04 |
| brontosaurusrex | stephanb: like http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/mounting-a-samba-share-933322/ | 00:05 |
| Jordan_U | conley: Please pastebin the complete error message. | 00:05 |
| stephanb | brontosaurusrex: i got it mounted, but audacious doesnt support adding folders from samba shares, this only works with normal files | 00:05 |

| birarda | http://pastebin.com/HfRSg82g here's a paste of the iptables problem | 00:06 |
| brontosaurusrex | stephanb: perhaps run yourplayer from cli and then drop that share and see if any errors pop out | 00:07 |
| stephanb | brontosaurusrex: would be worth a try | 00:07 |
| brontosaurusrex | could be some sort of a permission problem | 00:08 |

| brontosaurusrex | stephanb: but you can see this files normaly with some file manager? copy them localy and so on? | 00:09 |
| stephanb | brontosaurusrex: yes, all that works fine, it just seems that audacious doesnt support adding directorys from samba shares | 00:09 |
| ActionParsnip | brontosaurusrex: nautilus can mount samba shares | 00:10 |
| brontosaurusrex | ActionParsnip: yes, but you probably cant use those urls right? | 00:10 |
| stephanb | i think i'll just go with MPD... | 00:10 |
| ActionParsnip | brontosaurusrex: have you tried with nautilus though, or is this a CLI only system? | 00:11 |
| brontosaurusrex | stephanb: perhaps try "deadbeef" as plazer, very similar. | 00:11 |
| brontosaurusrex | ActionParsnip: stephanb is asking, iam trying to help :) | 00:12 |
| brontosaurusrex | player* | 00:12 |
| ActionParsnip | brontosaurusrex: ahhhhh i see | 00:12 |
| ActionParsnip | stephanb: you can use /run/user/USER$/gvfs/foldernamehere | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | stephanb: the mounts get mounted there as folders | 00:13 |
| foxy999 | Can someone tell me how to fix my update manager, i think i need to update my repository | 00:14 |
| stephanb | ActionParsnip: i just googled it, it is a specific problem with audacious, not with mounting the shares | 00:14 |
| stephanb | brontosaurusrex: is there a recent ppa for deadbeef? | 00:15 |
| brontosaurusrex | stephanb: iam using deb-multimedia.org | 00:15 |

| satwood | guys, i know there is a tool where a console can be observed by two people, while one types, after i ssh, can someone please tell me what it is ? | 00:17 |
| jjoson_ | want to ask if ubuntu is not sending copy of OS anymore like before? | 00:18 |
| jpds | satwood: byobu. | 00:18 |
| jpds | jjoson_: No, that was stopped a while ago. | 00:19 |

| jjoson_ | oh thanks.. | 00:20 |
| stephanb | brontosaurusrex: yeah | 00:20 |
| jpds | satwood: Someone runs it with 'byobu'. | 00:20 |
| satwood | what i am looking for is i ssh into a server. another person is also able to "join": and see what commands i type, and the screen output | 00:20 |
| conley | Can anyone paste me the ubuntu 12.10 /etc/apt/sources.list file? | 00:20 |

| satwood | ok | 00:20 |
| jpds | satwood: Yes, that's exactly what I'm talking about. | 00:20 |
| satwood | so i ssh into ubuntu and then what ? | 00:20 |

| satwood | jpds: how does the next person know where/how to attach, so before iii) he also does ssh into the same ubnutu ? | 00:23 |
| satwood | jpds: and just types that ? is there a session number or tty number or something ? what if two others also want to do this separately on the same machine ? | 00:23 |
| jpds | satwood: You both need to be on the same Ubuntu system that's running byobu. | 00:25 |
| conley | anyone? I just need /etc/apt/sources.list | 00:25 |
| satwood | jpds: i got that. but lets say A and B do this. Now C and D also want to do the same. How is that possible if they do byobu attch, they may get attached to A | 00:26 |

| jpds | satwood: "byobu attach-session" | 00:30 |
| satwood | jpds: is it byobu attach 2 ? | 00:30 |
| satwood | jpds: ok, how does C connect to A vs. connect to D ? | 00:30 |
| jpds | satwood: Probably, man page suggests "attach-session -t N" | 00:30 |

| KBentley57 | angela-, so you have installed it, and are trying to remove it? | 01:30 |

| angela- | no KBentley57 | 01:31 |
| vfw | birarda I don't know about chromebox, but must be some sort ofa stripped down version of Ubuntu. Right? | 01:31 |
| angela- | i try to inastall my network printer that dont will work | 01:32 |
| vfw | birarda: Chromebook? | 01:32 |
| RiXtEr | meomic, I'd bet there are some udev rules you need to fix, but I haven't had time to play with it myself yet, surely someone has fixed it up and posted it somewhere (google it) | 01:32 |
| KBentley57 | angela-, which is your native language? I'm afraid I'm having a hard time comprehending your problem. | 01:33 |
| RiXtEr | vfw, no its full blown, and chromebox is hooked to a TV | 01:33 |

| KBentley57 | angela-, I understand. Perhaps it would be best to type in duchs and let me use google translator | 01:34 |
| RiXtEr | vfw, it was released back in July if I remember right, so I am betting something should be running stable on it. | 01:34 |

| ULO-Plio | Is there a way to install Ubuntu alongside Windows 7 (on the same drive), but without a shared file system? | 01:38 |

| wilee-nilee | ULO-Plio, What is your definition of shared file system? | 01:38 |
| KBentley57 | ULO-Plio, it's very easy to do. download the iso, burn it to a cd, pop it in and go | 01:38 |
| KBentley57 | ULO-Plio, it will ask you to resize your windows partition to make room for the ubuntu installation | 01:39 |
| ULO-Plio | wilee-nilee, I can actually access my C drive through Ubuntu (which I don't want to be able to do) | 01:39 |
| RiXtEr | ULO-Plio, you just need to re-partition your drive so ubuntu has some native linux filesystem to run on | 01:39 |
| RiXtEr | ULO-Plio, which ubuntu will take care of for you during install. | 01:39 |
| angela- | no prob KBentley57 | 01:39 |
| wilee-nilee | ULO-Plio, I thought there was more to this so you want the windows partition hidden? | 01:40 |
| KBentley57 | ULO-Plio, then remove the ntfs module, or unmount the windows partition | 01:40 |
| RiXtEr | ULO-Plio, but if you have sensative data on your drive please be sure to back it up | 01:40 |
| ULO-Plio | KBentley57, yeah I can unmount it, but is there a way so that I have absolutely no access to it through Ubuntu? I want to keep the two completely separate. | 01:41 |
| KBentley57 | ULO-Plio, do you only not want access to the windows partition, or do you want to keep it from mounting ANY ntfs filesystem? | 01:41 |
| ULO-Plio | KBentley57, just the Windows partition | 01:42 |
| KBentley57 | have you ever opened fstab? | 01:43 |
| vfw | birarda: Interesting.... Learning.... | 01:43 |
| KBentley57 | ULO-Plio, do you care to post some output into pastebin if I give you instructions? | 01:43 |
| ULO-Plio | I haven't installed Ubuntu yet. I've had this "problem" with 12.04, so I simply deleted the whole Ubuntu partition and went straight with Windows 7 | 01:44 |
| KBentley57 | Oh, that's too bad, it simply requires editing a single text file. | 01:44 |
| ULO-Plio | Ahhh :( | 01:44 |
| KBentley57 | ULO-Plio, I've been there, don't sweat it :). | 01:45 |
| wilee-nilee | ULO-Plio, You can have a password needed to open any partition that may be your best bet. http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9207234&postcount=4 | 01:45 |
| KBentley57 | It would be simpler for him to just comment out the line in fstab if it is there after the installation | 01:45 |
| ULO-Plio | Thanks everyone :) I may just buy a cheap HDD and install Ubuntu on there | 01:46 |
| ULO-Plio | maybe that way, I won't have this problem | 01:46 |
| KBentley57 | ULO-Plio, it doesn't require that much work to keep them separate. I wouldn't buy another hard drive for only that purpose, unless you just want to of course | 01:47 |
| ULO-Plio | I guess it's safer to just do that | 01:47 |
| ULO-Plio | than always deleting the Ubuntu partition and reinstalling it (or other distros) on the same drive | 01:47 |
| wilee-nilee | ULO-Plio, A second HD will leave you with the same setup unless you unplug the one with windows. | 01:48 |
| ^Mike | Why is /var/run a symlink to /run? I don't recall there being a run directory in the filesystem root O_o | 01:48 |
| ULO-Plio | wilee-nilee, for real? Gaaahhh | 01:48 |
| KBentley57 | wilee-nilee, is correct. There is not practical difference between having two hard drives with a single partiton each, vs two partitions on a single drive | 01:48 |
| KBentley57 | it's all about the partitions as opposed to the number of drives in the system | 01:49 |
| wilee-nilee | ULO-Plio, As it is windows is just a file in the left panel in nautilus, unless we are talking about a wubi install. Was you last 12.04 installed from windows? | 01:49 |
| KBentley57 | If it helps, I would stop thinking of the drives as being anything more than a container that partitions reside in | 01:49 |
| ULO-Plio | wilee-nilee, nah, I did it through a live USB. | 01:50 |
| angela- | btw KBentley57 wubi is for my a tryout | 01:51 |
| ULO-Plio | KBentley57, yeah I know. I just want Ubuntu to not recognize the WIndows partition, because the drive is always mounted when I start Ubuntu. Ideally, I want Ubuntu to work with only its own partition | 01:51 |
| wilee-nilee | ULO-Plio, Windows would not be mounted unless fstab had a mount for it. | 01:52 |
| KBentley57 | that is what I was saying, all he needs to do is remove the fstab entry | 01:52 |
| ULO-Plio | Hmm | 01:52 |
| KBentley57 | angela-, I understand. Which part of the wubi is giving you troubles | 01:52 |
| ULO-Plio | Okay, I'll give it a whirl. What should I do with fstab? | 01:53 |
| ULO-Plio | :) | 01:53 |
| KBentley57 | ULO-Plio, fstab is a file that tells ubuntu to mount certain partitions on bootup | 01:53 |
| KBentley57 | ULO-Plio, if there is an entry for the partition that windows resides on, ubuntu will mount it automatically | 01:53 |
| angela- | is no prob KBentley57 i am able to print scan in windows so its nop prob | 01:53 |
| ULO-Plio | KBently57, ohhhhh. | 01:54 |
| KBentley57 | ULO-Plio, you would have to remove, or comment out this entry. t's not hard | 01:54 |
| KBentley57 | ULO-Plio, but if you remove the wrong thing it can have disasterous results :) | 01:54 |
| ULO-Plio | O__O | 01:54 |
| ULO-Plio | :S | 01:54 |
| KBentley57 | ULO-Plio, why don't you reinstall it and come back, and we'll help you through it. worst that can happen is you botch a clean ubuntu install with nothing in it. There is no danger to the windows partition | 01:55 |
| ULO-Plio | KBentley57, Alrighty, thanks for the help :) | 01:56 |
| Toph2 | is there a 'Transmission BitTorrent Client' channel around, or can i pose a question here | 01:56 |
| Toph2 | ? | 01:56 |
| KBentley57 | Toph2, go for it | 01:57 |
| Toph2 | ok | 01:57 |
| Toph2 | I want to store my downloads on a differnt drive/partition. I can't find a setting in Transmission to do this | 01:58 |
| KBentley57 | Toph2, would you like a suggestion? | 01:58 |
| Toph2 | KBentley57,,, indeed | 01:59 |
| angela- | KBentley57, if i disydet to install ubuntu 10.12 next to windows one dvd ore cd than i`m even to eble to do finks that dont work in ubuntu to do it in windows' | 01:59 |

| === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang | ||
| KBentley57 | Toph2, use a different torrent client. Transmission is limited in what it can, and cannot do. qbittorent and deluge are much more functional. However, here is a post that looks like it addresses your question: | 02:01 |
| lupo | I have a postgresql installed but don't know which, so I can't remove it with apt-get, how can I find all the packages related to postgre installed in my system? | 02:01 |
| KBentley57 | Toph2, https://forum.transmissionbt.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=9073 | 02:01 |
| Toph2 | somsip,,, I find none of that on my client | 02:01 |
| Toph2 | KBentley57,,, thanks | 02:01 |
| somsip | Toph2: You're using the GUI or the server? You have a toolbar? | 02:01 |
| overdub | have a broken package with apt-get: 1 not fully installed or removed. Errors were encountered while processing: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) | 02:01 |
| Toph2 | somsip,,, just the GUI | 02:02 |
| Toph2 | no toolbar | 02:02 |
| overdub | the package is gpsmanshp | 02:02 |
| KBentley57 | overclucker, have you tried sudo apt-get install -f? | 02:02 |
| overdub | can't seem to fix it, install it properly, or uninstall it | 02:02 |
| overdub | anyone know how to fix this? | 02:02 |
| somsip | Toph2: this is transmission-gtk? | 02:03 |
| overdub | KBentley57, i was reluctant to use -f, maybe it might work | 02:03 |
| overdub | don't want to bork this install and the apt-get man page says this is to be used with extreme caution | 02:04 |
| KBentley57 | overdub, the -f stands for "fix broken packages" | 02:04 |
| overdub | thought there might be a safer way to fix it | 02:04 |
| overdub | ah, well then, probably what I want, i'll go try it | 02:04 |
| KBentley57 | overdub, ok, report back when you're finished | 02:05 |
| overdub | will do | 02:05 |
| overdub | E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) -- didn't work | 02:06 |
| Toph2 | somsip,,, i'm not sure,, it has no options other than speeds | 02:06 |
| === dark3n is now known as dark3n|off | ||
| KBentley57 | overdub, try to purge the package, then run -f, then install again | 02:07 |
| overdub | where to "purge" the package? | 02:07 |
| KBentley57 | overdub, sudo apt-get purge gpsmanshp | 02:07 |
| angela- | one questhen left vpn is that for foon configurarion? | 02:07 |
| KBentley57 | it basically removes the package and any config files that still exist | 02:07 |
| yeehi | Hello! I have downloaded the beautiful ubuntu fonts here: http://font.ubuntu.com/ How do I now install them? I think there is more to it than just copying them into a folder. (Also, which folder?!) | 02:08 |
| overdub | KBentley57, subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127 | 02:08 |
| overdub | didn't work | 02:08 |
| somsip | yeehi: copy to /usr/share/fonts | 02:08 |
| KBentley57 | hmm, you could always install synaptic, it's a package manager that is good about fixing things like this. | 02:08 |
| yeehi | they downloaded as a zip file - do i have to unpack, somsip? | 02:09 |
| somsip | Toph2: How do you access those. Do you go through a Preferences menu | 02:09 |
| overdub | i have it install and tried to use that to fix the issue | 02:09 |
| somsip | yeehi: yes | 02:09 |
| KBentley57 | overdub, already? | 02:09 |
| overdub | maybe I didn't poke around enough in synaptic | 02:09 |
| overdub | I tried that a while ago | 02:09 |
| kaushal | hi | 02:10 |
| KBentley57 | there is a fix broken packages option in synaptic, i just used it myself today | 02:10 |
| overdub | I'll try that again and report back | 02:10 |
| KBentley57 | overdub, it's under custom filters on the bottom left | 02:10 |
| mats | what is the cat function? | 02:10 |
| Toph2 | somsip,,, one options setting in the lower right corner and all it gives is transfer speed settings | 02:11 |
| KBentley57 | cat is usually used to display text on the screen mats | 02:11 |
| yeehi | there are lots of folders inside /usr/share/fonts somsip - cmap, opentype, truetype, type1 x11 - which one? | 02:11 |
| yeehi | somsip? | 02:11 |
| overdub | KBentley57, okay, thanks back in a bit to report if it worked or not | 02:11 |
| KBentley57 | overdub, then click on broken just under all | 02:11 |
| KBentley57 | ok, | 02:11 |
| somsip | yeehi: the one that matches the font you download - usually ttf (true type) or otf (open type) | 02:11 |

| Toph2 | somsip,,, there is a properties option on the one menu bar it has on top but that is just for a selected torrent | 02:13 |
| KBentley57 | ruben231, are you trying to install it, or just asking our opinion of it? | 02:13 |
| mats | when i do "sudo cat misc/rc.local > /etc/rc.local" i get "-bash: /etc/rc.local: permission denied??? please help | 02:13 |

| mats | use tee? how ? | 02:14 |
| Toph2 | somsip,,, just a to menu bar with 'open, run arrow, pause, -, and properties for the selected torrent' | 02:14 |
| KBentley57 | ruben231, that is because it's probably not in the repositorys, I just checked | 02:14 |
| overdub | KBentley57, having trouble getting synaptic to start with root privileges | 02:14 |
| KBentley57 | overdub, did you run "sudo synaptic" from the terminal? | 02:14 |
| ruben231 | KBentley57:how do i add it up, can you help | 02:14 |
| overdub | yup, it says Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0 | 02:15 |
| KBentley57 | ruben231, you will have to manually install it, here is their download page: http://www.twinklephone.com/ | 02:15 |

| KBentley57 | overdub, Oh, well, there is your problem... ;) | 02:15 |
| mats | when i do "sudo cat misc/rc.local > /etc/rc.local" i get "-bash: /etc/rc.local: permission denied"??? please help | 02:15 |

| wilee-nilee | !twinkle | 02:15 |
| ruben231 | KBentley57: how to manually install..? just download then install..? tahts all..? | 02:15 |
| overdub | so i did alt-F2 and it only starts in non root privilege | 02:15 |
| mats | somsip: TY | 02:15 |
| overdub | KB - LOL | 02:15 |
| wilee-nilee | overdub, You in a admin account? | 02:16 |
| KBentley57 | overdub, so running it from the terminal, with sudo, doesn't give you sudo priv? | 02:16 |
| ActionParsnip | can anyone please explain web apps please. I have some installed but they appear to do nothing | 02:16 |
| somsip | Toph2: sorry, but you seem to be using a front end that is very different from mone. I'm not sure why | 02:16 |
| ruben231 | wilee-nilee: you have any idea..? | 02:16 |
| overdub | wilee-nilee, not a good plan to run a whole desktop with root privileges | 02:16 |
| wilee-nilee | ruben231, Not really. | 02:17 |
| overdub | KBentley57, it can't open the display | 02:17 |
| overdub | i thought I could get root after opening synaptic | 02:17 |
| wilee-nilee | overdub, Admin in ubuntu is sudo access you misunderstand | 02:17 |
| ruben231 | KBentley57: how to install manually..? | 02:17 |
| KBentley57 | ruben, are you at the download page? | 02:17 |
| bazhang | sflphone-gnome <---- use this instead ruben231 twinkle is not there in Quantal 12.10 | 02:17 |
| dormito | Im running Ubuntu 12.10. I set a custom keyboard shurtcut Super+E to launch nautilus (because Im so used to that short cut in windows) when I set the shortcut it worked, but after rebooting it no longer launches nautils. I went back into the shortcut settings and tickered around, and it started working again evetually (I just deleted the entery and recreated the exact same... and maybe re assined it to the same keystroke, so no net change) and | 02:17 |
| dormito | it eventually started working. however I have rebooted again, and it does not launch nautilus again a perminent solution would be nice. | 02:17 |
| ruben231 | bazhang: is install default already..? is it SIP..? | 02:18 |
| KBentley57 | overdub, do you havg muon ? as the pacage manager? | 02:18 |
| overdub | even doing alt-F2 and then typing sudo synaptic does not work | 02:18 |
| bazhang | ruben231, it's a softphone. install it | 02:18 |
| overdub | KBentley57, never heard of that, is it a GUI or command line? | 02:18 |
| bazhang | KBentley57, muon is for Kubuntu | 02:19 |
| wilee-nilee | overdub, Are you in the account that was made when you installed? | 02:19 |
| ActionParsnip | well, you can use kde apps in gnome if you want :) | 02:19 |
| KBentley57 | is KDE + Ubuntu = kubuntu? | 02:19 |
| ruben231 | bazhang: is it on the repo i just apt-get istall it..? | 02:19 |
| KBentley57 | ruben, yes | 02:19 |
| bazhang | ruben231, yes | 02:19 |
| overdub | wilee-nilee, yes, and last time I tried to open synaptic it asked for the password and opened with root | 02:20 |
| Toph2 | somsip,,, strange It is the only one that comes up in Ubuntu Softwear Centre | 02:20 |
| KBentley57 | overdub, I'm perplexed. sudo should be able to do anything..lol | 02:20 |
| bazhang | wilee-nilee, gksudo synaptic you mean | 02:20 |
| overdub | KBentley57, except apparently open a GUI app | 02:20 |
| somsip | Toph2: maybe, but I don't use that | 02:20 |
| overdub | KBentley57, i'm installing muon | 02:20 |
| mats | somsip: sudo tee didnt work | 02:21 |
| wilee-nilee | bazhang, hehe I didn't give any command. ;) | 02:21 |
| mats | when i do "sudo cat misc/rc.local > /etc/rc.local" i get "-bash: /etc/rc.local: permission denied"??? please help | 02:21 |
| KBentley57 | overdub, can you post the output if "id" | 02:21 |
| overclucker | overdub: are you trying to run synaptic from a tty? | 02:21 |
| overdub | overclucker, yeah | 02:21 |
| KBentley57 | ahh, nice call | 02:21 |
| KBentley57 | you can't run synaptic - the gui - unless X is running. | 02:22 |
| overclucker | overdub: you could try with xinit, like xinit /usr/sbin/synaptic -- :0 | 02:22 |
| somsip | mats: so could you sudo cp misc/rc.local /etc/rc.local? | 02:22 |
| overdub | X is running, but I was trying to open synaptic from Konsole | 02:22 |
| overdub | some misunderstanding here | 02:22 |
| overdub | i'm trying | 02:22 |
| overclucker | overdub: but if you're already running an x session try :1 | 02:22 |
| KBentley57 | overdub, sorry, I think I misunderstood. I thought you were saying that you were running it from a session where X wasn't started | 02:23 |
| overclucker | overdub: ah, hmm. | 02:23 |
| mats | somsip: i love you thanks! | 02:24 |
| KBentley57 | overdub, type "id" into console, and post the output here | 02:24 |
| somsip | mats: too effusive, but your welcome | 02:24 |
| overdub | KBentley57, uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root) | 02:25 |
| overdub | i'm root in Konsole | 02:25 |
| overdub | so I shouldn't need the sudo prefix | 02:25 |
| KBentley57 | have you tried not being root, but changing to your regular user, and trying to use sudo instead? | 02:25 |
| biella | i've just install quantal and sound is not working when youtube videos play in firefox, and chromium says that flash is disabled because it is out of date... does anyone know how I can fix that? | 02:26 |
| overdub | KBentley57, not yet, i'm on that now . . . | 02:26 |
| KBentley57 | biella, have you tried updating your system yet? | 02:26 |
| biella | KBentley57, yeah, it says I have no updates right now | 02:26 |
| overclucker | overdub: yeah, try that. drop to a regular user and run gksu synaptic | 02:26 |
| overdub | It worked! I'm in synaptic with root privilege | 02:26 |
| KBentley57 | :) | 02:27 |
| overdub | strange that, but I'm happy it works | 02:27 |
| KBentley57 | overdub, now we can try to solve the real problem..lo | 02:27 |
| overdub | yeah, let me do the fix broken package thing now, back in a sec | 02:27 |
| KBentley57 | biella, which version of chrome is listed as installed? | 02:27 |
| biella | KBentley57: chromium-browser 22.0.1229.94~r161065-0ubuntu1 | 02:28 |
| mats | how do u restart from command line | 02:29 |
| dax | mats: sudo reboot | 02:29 |
| somsip | mats: sudo reboot | 02:29 |
| tacomaster | I just finished a book on python and was going to start trying to make gui app's but it seems that gui gtk3 is not supported for pygtk and a few other what is a good gui language for python3 that isnt qt? | 02:30 |
| dax | tacomaster: http://python-gtk-3-tutorial.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ | 02:30 |
| overdub | KBentley57, fix broken packages did nothing, so I tried to "mark for complete removal" and still get error | 02:31 |
| somsip | tacomaster: http://wiki.python.org/moin/GuiProgramming has lots of links that might help | 02:31 |
| tacomaster | dax, somsip, ty so much!!! | 02:31 |
| KBentley57 | overdub, so you marked it for complete removal and it did nothing? | 02:31 |
| overdub | it returned error: E: gpsmanshp: subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 | 02:32 |
| KBentley57 | well,, there is another way | 02:32 |
| overdub | do tell | 02:32 |
| KBentley57 | overdub, it basically involves a seek and destroy approach, manually removing each related file. | 02:33 |
| KBentley57 | overdub, first update your database with sudo updatedb | 02:33 |
| dax | overdub: install the package tcl8.4 and try again. There's a bug in the package gpsmanshp | 02:33 |
| dax | overdub: doing this before KBentley57's idea is probably best, since it's less destructive | 02:33 |
| biella | KBentley57, i moved from an amd64 machine to i386, so I needed to purge my .mozilla/plugins directory and now it works | 02:34 |
| KBentley57 | dax, i just seen this | 02:34 |
| overdub | dax, thanks for the safer suggestion. i suspected a bug in the package | 02:34 |
| KBentley57 | biella, nice find! I'm glad you found it | 02:34 |
| dax | overdub: you're welcome. let me know whether it works; if not, we can continue with KBentley57's idea :) | 02:35 |
| biella | KBentley57: thought you might want to know for future people! | 02:35 |
| KBentley57 | biella, I do, and I will keep it in mind | 02:35 |

| k4m3h4t3 | dax : where i get the key | 02:40 |
| dax | k4m3h4t3: so you'd do sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com D53AE39309257C1B | 02:40 |
| dax | which will download that key and give it to apt-get, so future package list updates will work | 02:40 |

| overdub | dax KBentley57 : it's fixed! the installing tcl8.4 has fixed the issue | 02:40 |

| KBentley57 | chadams, did you install them from ubuntu, or from the support.amd.com website | 02:42 |

| KBentley57 | biella, I believe you do. | 02:42 |
| chadams | KBentley57: from the ubuntu software center | 02:42 |
| dax | biella: for English, or another language? | 02:42 |
| k4m3h4t3 | i will try | 02:42 |
| biella | dax: english | 02:43 |
| chadams | 12.10 | 02:43 |
| KBentley57 | biella, is this similar to what you are talking about? | 02:43 |
| KBentley57 | biella, http://askubuntu.com/questions/203727/libreoffice-spell-checker-doesnt-work | 02:43 |
| chadams | My card is a Radeon HD 6670 | 02:43 |
| KBentley57 | chadams, it gets to the purple screen, and does nothing else, or is it really "pink"? | 02:43 |
| TheJelly | Hello | 02:44 |
| chadams | purple, sorry | 02:44 |
| vfw | chadams: Ctrl-Alt-F6 ; mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-bak | 02:44 |
| KBentley57 | he probably cant get there yet | 02:44 |
| R3d-S0u| | problem with xorg uh? | 02:44 |
| R3d-S0u| | always the same.. | 02:44 |
| R3d-S0u| | :) | 02:44 |
| KBentley57 | chadams, can you press shift while the pc is booting, and get the grub boot loader, and use the recovery mode? | 02:44 |
| TheJelly | How do I convert ima/img files to iso, or at least use them in virtual box (installing windows 95)? | 02:45 |
| k4m3h4t3 | dax : thanks. problem resolve | 02:45 |
| chadams | I'll try | 02:45 |
| dax | k4m3h4t3: you're welcome :) | 02:45 |
| chadams | lucky I've got a laptop too | 02:45 |
| KBentley57 | chadams, after that, we'll boot normally and get to a tty login | 02:45 |
| chadams | no problems with ubuntu on this, besides been a little slow | 02:45 |
| biella | KBentley57: that was it! I had chosen English (Canada) but there is no dictionary for that, it seems | 02:45 |
| k4m3h4t3 | dax : but next time it's gone be ok? | 02:46 |
| dax | TheJelly: you can convert them to a .vdi (Virtualbox Disk Image) with VBoxManage convertdd file.img file.vdi, per http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/convert-usb-boot-image-img-to-virtual.html | 02:46 |
| chadams | ok, so advanced options for ubuntu? | 02:46 |
| KBentley57 | biella, cool! which one worked? | 02:46 |
| KBentley57 | chadams, yes | 02:46 |
| chadams | recovery mode? | 02:46 |
| KBentley57 | chadams, boot normally | 02:46 |
| KBentley57 | chadams, all it does is prevent the driver from loading this way, you will log into a black terminal like screen | 02:47 |
| chadams | seeing text on the screen now | 02:47 |
| KBentley57 | chadams, that is normal | 02:47 |
| chadams | all because I redeemed braid for ubuntu on my humble bundle | 02:47 |
| chadams | graphics were slow and somehow clipped, so I tried installing ATI drivers | 02:47 |
| KBentley57 | chadams, how long did you wait for the purple screen to go away? | 02:47 |
| chadams | 5-10 minutes | 02:48 |
| dax | k4m3h4t3: Should be, yes. The error was because that key was missing, and it's now there, so everything should be fine from now on. | 02:48 |
| KBentley57 | chadams, oh, ok. Are you at the login prompt yet? | 02:48 |
| chadams | it's still on 'Loading initial ramdisk ...', is this normal? | 02:48 |
| KBentley57 | chadams, yeah, just give it a sec. | 02:49 |
| sabonis | hi all | 02:49 |

| KBentley57 | chadams, if it takes more than a minute we'll try something else | 02:49 |
| mats | how can i find out system information via terminal? | 02:49 |
| dax | mats: any particular information, or just general info? | 02:50 |

| alien2050 | on a system with multi-monitor, is there a way to open a video tutorial in youtube, in fullscreen, on the left, and work on a document on the right ? Whenever I click, the window unmaximizes..... never found a way to do it.... ne1? | 02:50 |
| dax | mats: top will show that. There's an alternative program named "htop" that's similar and may be easier to use. | 02:50 |
| chadams | still on the ramdisk part | 02:50 |
| somsip | dax mats: tis truth you speak | 02:50 |
| KBentley57 | chadams, lets try something else, that clearly isn't doing anything. reboot and go back to grub, and advanced options | 02:51 |
| vfw | KBentley57: He can probably just boot normally and switch to tty6 | 02:51 |
| KBentley57 | vfw, if fglrx hangs it wont let you into a tty, or at least it hasn't ever for me | 02:52 |
| chadams | control alt delete didn't work to reboot this time | 02:52 |
| KBentley57 | hard reboot if necessary | 02:52 |
| chadams | had to press the power button and wait | 02:52 |
| mats | thanks guys | 02:52 |
| vfw | KBentley57: Ok. | 02:52 |
| chadams | recovery mode is working | 02:53 |

| chadams | failsafeX? | 02:53 |
| KBentley57 | chadams, not yet | 02:54 |
| KBentley57 | chadams, well, yes, we can do that first. go ahead and try it | 02:54 |
| chadams | it's doing fsck | 02:55 |
| KBentley57 | chadams, ok, it'll be over in a moment | 02:55 |
| delac | upgrading to 12.10 (from 12.04). Got "Could not install 'grub-pc'". Should I do something about it before continuing? | 02:56 |
| chadams | I hear that using the windows installer like I did, makes the ubuntu vfs vonerable to improper restarts, is this the case? | 02:56 |
| KBentley57 | chadams, I'm not really certain. I've never used the windows installer. | 02:57 |
| wilee-nilee | chadams, Basically it is subject to problems with a hard shutdown, it is just a file in windows. | 02:57 |
| KBentley57 | delac, you can try to reconfigure grub | 02:57 |
| chadams | wilee-nilee, I see | 02:58 |
| delac | KBentley57: in the middle of installation? | 02:58 |
| KBentley57 | delac, oh, it's still upgrading? | 02:58 |
| delac | KBentley57: yes | 02:58 |
| chadams | it's still stuck at /dev/loop0: clean | 02:59 |
| wilee-nilee | chadams, Here is what the designer of wubi says if its of any help. http://howsoftwareisbuilt.com/2009/03/12/interview-with-agostino-russo-wubi-ubuntu/ | 02:59 |
| delac | KBentley57: or rather, there is the error dialog open | 02:59 |
| mianos | does anyone know how to stop chromium preloading under precise? | 02:59 |
| KBentley57 | delac, so it is stuck on that part? | 02:59 |
| wilee-nilee | mianos, The browser? | 02:59 |
| mianos | if it is preloaded a new instance connects to the eixsting instance and silently ignors all command line arguments | 03:00 |
| mianos | yes | 03:00 |
| delac | KBentley57: not stuck. I just didnt continue. every forum post I find tells me that I'm going to have unbootable system... | 03:00 |
| mianos | it's obviously not in auto starts | 03:00 |
| KBentley57 | delac, you can always let it go, then manually install grub-pc if you must | 03:00 |
| wilee-nilee | mianos, Did you look in startup applications? | 03:00 |
| KBentley57 | delac, when it gets to the end | 03:00 |
| chadams | KBentley57, this appears to be frozen | 03:00 |
| delac | KBentley57: unfortunately according to those post reinstalling grub wont work... | 03:01 |

| Mark__ | Trying to get wifi working on 12.10 on my mbp retina anyone have any idea what driver I need? | 03:01 |
| mianos | there are a few recent questions posted | 03:01 |
| mianos | none answered | 03:01 |
| KBentley57 | delac, have you updated everything before trying the dist-upgrade? | 03:01 |
| wilee-nilee | mianos, Not sure really, but chromium is not getting updates as of now I believe. | 03:02 |
| KBentley57 | Mark__, what is the output of lspci? | 03:02 |
| R3d-S0u| | ullallà | 03:02 |
| delac | KBentley57: yeah, I did | 03:02 |
| chadams | last thing it shows is "/dev/loop0: clean, x/y files. z/w blocks | 03:02 |
| vfw | mianos: What is YOUR question? | 03:02 |
| KBentley57 | delac, can you try to pre-install the grub-pc package, then run the upgrade? | 03:03 |
| chadams | after going to failsafeX from the recovery menu | 03:03 |
| mianos | vfw, chrome is started in the background when I log into xcfe | 03:03 |
| mianos | it's not in .config/autostart | 03:03 |
| Mark__ | Broadcom BCM 4331 | 03:03 |
| mianos | it is starting a chain of chrome instances for the renderrer and zygot etc etc | 03:03 |
| delac | KBentley57: I'm still in the middle of the upgrade, so I'm not sure if something like that would even work. oh well, I'm going to let it go and try to fix it afterwards :) | 03:04 |
| wilee-nilee | delac, This a other then msdos partitioning setup? | 03:04 |
| mianos | when I run a new instance from xterm "Created new window in existing browser session." | 03:04 |
| chadams | so I'm guessing i should reboot again and try something else | 03:04 |
| KBentley57 | Mark__, have you tried running "ubuntu-drivers list" and see if anything pops up | 03:04 |
| mianos | then it silently ignors my command line argument | 03:04 |
| KBentley57 | delac, yeah, let it go. when it's done, perhaps we can check the logs to see what is good | 03:05 |
| mianos | http://askubuntu.com/questions/125357/chrome-puts-itself-on-startup-applications | 03:05 |
| delac | wilee-nilee: msdos partitioning? no, there is only ubuntu in this machine with default partitioning | 03:05 |
| mianos | http://askubuntu.com/questions/158216/how-to-make-google-chrome-not-start-as-service | 03:05 |
| vfw | mianos: The default bahaviour for xfce is to reload last session. If you reboot telling it to reload last session after closing everything, and then reboot again telling it to save last session, and then reboot again telling it not to save last session, you'll be good to go, (from then on, it will load an empty session). | 03:05 |
| wilee-nilee | delac, No gpt uefi are you sure? | 03:05 |
| bazhang | mianos, dont repeat every five seconds | 03:05 |
| Mark__ | The would be the issue KBentley57 there's no drivers | 03:05 |
| Mark__ | How do I add it? | 03:06 |

| chadams | yeah, it hung | 03:06 |
| chadams | I had to reboot | 03:06 |

| KBentley57 | chadams, we'll try to remove the amd drivers so that you can get back to a normal desktop, does that sound like what you are wanting to do? we can then try to reinstall them | 03:07 |
| delac | wilee-nilee: unless ubuntu sets that up by itself, then no | 03:07 |
| chadams | KBentley57: yeah, that sounds good | 03:08 |
| KBentley57 | chadams, we will purge the amd drivers by running "sudo apt-get purge fglrx fglrx-dev fglrx-amdcccle" | 03:08 |
| KBentley57 | without quotes of course | 03:08 |
| chadams | unable to write to /var/cache/apt | 03:09 |
| KBentley57 | chadams, was there any other output? | 03:09 |
| chadams | W: Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock | 03:10 |
| chadams | then the /var/cache/apt error | 03:10 |
| chadams | then E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. | 03:10 |
| KBentley57 | chadams, when you run "ls", do you see a bunch of directories? I'm trying to see if the root folder is mounted | 03:11 |
| chadams | if I do ls by itself I get nothing | 03:11 |
| chadams | ls / shows everything though | 03:11 |
| mianos | ok, let me change my question so something that is suitable for a reply, chromium is not in any of my .config autostart files, my session is not marked to be saved on logout, when I start chrome, so I can use the remote debugging port I need to pass it a new command line, because something new is pre starting chromium when I start it it will attach to the existing session. I cant find what is loading it as it is forked and unattached, giviin | 03:12 |
| mianos | g it a parent Id of 1. This behaviour seems to be new. Has anyone heard of this? | 03:12 |
| KBentley57 | chadams, can you change to your normal user, with su "username"? | 03:12 |

| almoxarife | blackshirt: right, inf | 03:34 |
| blackshirt | chadams, what you mean ? | 03:34 |
| saruthiko | almoxarife: I don't know. All I know is that the only available download is an .exe and it cannot be opened in archive manager. | 03:34 |
| chadams | one version of linux i used had such a command, internet worked after i typed it | 03:35 |
| chadams | from the console | 03:35 |
| chadams | might have been linux mint | 03:35 |
| almoxarife | saruthiko: there is 'wine' | 03:36 |
| chadams | that or knoppix | 03:36 |
| blackshirt | chadams, what type connection you are using ? Lan ? Usb modem ? | 03:36 |
| chadams | lan | 03:36 |
| saruthiko | almoxarife: would wine work for something like installing a driver?.. I didn't understand it to be used for that kind of thing. | 03:37 |
| almoxarife | chadams: lets assume you don't have a crippled system, what is the aversion to a reboot? is it a server doing the queens works? | 03:37 |
| chadams | I just rebooted | 03:38 |
| chadams | to the recovery menu, then to the root shell | 03:38 |
| almoxarife | saruthiko: wine wouldn't work for installing the driver into linux, but it would open the exe assuming it's a self-extracting thing | 03:38 |
| saruthiko | almoxarife: ah, good point! i'll try that. | 03:39 |

| gurjeet | But now I can login into the gnome but after the login, I don't get the Unity launcher, statusbar etc. Strangely the commands in 'Startup Applications' do get executed and I can see my applications launched. | 03:53 |
| gurjeet | I can see the icon on desktop, can open applications like terminal, and launch more applications from there. But I am missing the Unity panel, and the status bar! | 03:55 |
| chadams | looks like I'll need to reinstall, when installing drivers for my radeon next time, should i get them from the amd site or from the ubuntu software center? | 03:55 |

| Gerowen | zombifier: Thanks though! | 04:09 |
| cluelesscoder | I've gotten the ppa added using sudo add-apt-repository but when I try to install it using sudo apt-get upgrade, it's not installing | 04:10 |
| zombifier | cluelesscoder: You must do a "sudo apt-get update" first | 04:10 |
| cluelesscoder | also don't have any idea what name I would use if I installed using sudo apt-get install ... this is the first time I've tried installing with a ppa; usually just use synaptic to mark for installation | 04:10 |

| brandon420 | cluelesscoder, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/how-to-add-a-ppa-to-software-sources-in-ubuntu | 04:10 |

| brandon420 | delac, i am curious to know the answer to your question aswell. I have the same problem but i do not notice any graphics issues... | 04:18 |
| almoxarife | delac: the proof that the gpu is/was good enough was it being seen while running off the live/stick, as to what driver you are missing i am clueless, can you do a side by side comparision? or at least get the logs for xorg while on stick and compare to the installed? | 04:18 |

| delac | almoxarife: I'm not so sure it's xorg problem. Probably has more to do with the System Settings that fetches the information | 04:20 |
| almoxarife | delac: comparing the two dirs/folders would not hurt either , /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ | 04:20 |
| kristenbb | hi, I've just installed ubuntu (12.04) alongside another ubuntu (10.04), on two different hard drives (A and B). If I boot on A, I have access to (10.04), and if I boot on B, nothing happens. I want to access (12.04). How to do that ? I think it's a MBR issue, but I don't know how to deal with it. | 04:21 |
| brandon420 | kristenbb, a shot in the dark, but have you looked in /media/? | 04:22 |
| kristenbb | brandon420: looked for what? | 04:23 |
| almoxarife | kristenbb: sounds more like a mount issue? you have two partions at least, they should load into either OS running at the time | 04:23 |
| brandon420 | kristenbb, for the drive. Not sure if a internal hdd would show in /media/. but that is where external hdds mount too | 04:24 |
| delac | almoxarife: there aint any /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ | 04:24 |
| brandon420 | almoxarife, think you could help me get my external to mount correctly? =x | 04:24 |

| kristenbb | almoxarife: I'm sorry I don't understand what you mean? My question is, how can I make the new OS start, instead of the old one. | 04:25 |
| almoxarife | delac: my bad then, i was looking at my setup on opensuse, the equiv must exist | 04:25 |
| simplew | what do i need to install to have lightdm appearing like when installing ubuntu??? | 04:25 |
| almoxarife | kristenbb: you mean you don't see one of the os's on the grub screen? sort of lost now | 04:26 |
| kristenbb | almoxarife: actually I don't even see any grub screen | 04:27 |
| brandon420 | almoxarife, She installed ubuntu twice and is not able to choose what to boot. Is what i gather. | 04:27 |
| borkdox | kristenbb, you can run grub form either the installation CD or the 10.04 install. you will be able to autodetect all the OS and chose the drive on which GRUB will be installed. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#Reinstalling_GRUB_2 | 04:27 |
| delac | almoxarife: well, ubuntu doesnt use xorg.conf anymore... | 04:27 |

| saruthiko | how do I check which driver my wifi card is using/ | 04:28 |
| almoxarife | delac: correct, not looking for xorg.conf, looking for a dir with some rules that are auto created at boot via udev(i think, not sure about that one) | 04:28 |
| wilee-nilee | kristenbb, When you installed to the second drive was this an auto install, and have you tried booting from that drive? | 04:29 |

| kristenbb | wilee-nilee: however, if I run a live cd, it correctly guesses that there are two OS installed. | 04:31 |
| wilee-nilee | kristenbb, Thats a good conjecture you can as suggested use a live cd and chroot to the new install and load grub to its mbr, or we could have you run a script that will give us the info really needed to put in a pastebin. | 04:31 |
| brandon420 | Can someone help me get preload working? | 04:31 |

| zombifier | newbchessplayer: what are the exact messages of those notifications? | 04:37 |
| kristenbb | wilee-nilee: I'm doing it. Is the step 'Mount the critical virtual filesystems.' really required? | 04:38 |
| brandon420 | newbchessplayer, I am going to have to say that there isn't. Upgrading /may/ help out a little, but i wouldn't get your hopes up. I have had to start over again may times because of a random system error. You could go through and trouble shoot each and every problem though. Check all of the recent changes that you have made to the system. | 04:38 |
| brandon420 | almoxarife, I will try that. | 04:38 |
| wilee-nilee | kristenbb, #8 yes | 04:39 |
| wilee-nilee | kristenbb, Just copy and paste that command | 04:39 |

| almoxarife | brandon420: 'prelink' that's the ticket :) | 04:40 |
| newbchessplayer | zombifier, hold on im going to upload a screenshot | 04:41 |
| brandon420 | almoxarife, Could you give me the tldr; version of what prelink is? (Wondering if it would be worth the time learning/researching) | 04:41 |
| almoxarife | djjeff: vesa sounds like fallback/failsafe | 04:41 |
| brandon420 | bootchart is looking pretty niffty though | 04:41 |
| djjeff | can I disable vesa ? | 04:41 |
| djjeff | cause when ubuntu boots thats the resolution it uses | 04:42 |
| brandon420 | ouch | 04:42 |
| almoxarife | brandon420: not sure what version its at, google it, its really off subject here, i personally believe it does speed up the whole process in kde, most others don't, so its really a try and see if it works for you | 04:43 |
| wilee-nilee | djjeff, That resolution is probably to high at the grub menu, you can change it in this file though and run a update-grub afterwards before rebooting. gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub | 04:44 |
| almoxarife | djjeff: what graphics card/capability do you have? being in vesa graphics ususally means something is not running at its best graphics wiise | 04:44 |
| brandon420 | almoxarife, Alright, i will check it out. I am about to do a reboot and see what bootchart gives me. So i will return in a few minutes | 04:44 |
| newbchessplayer | zombifier, did you get that | 04:44 |
| saruthiko | I've blacklisted iwlwifi and installed the proprietary wifi driver via ndiswrapper and I can see it under "currently installed windows drivers," but ubuntu doesn't seem to realize I have wifi. Under enable networking (which is checked) there is no enable wireless. Any idea what I'm missing? | 04:44 |
| kristenbb | wilee-nilee: ok, I'm done with the tutorial. I'm at step 11. I typed 'update-grub'. BUT the output of this command is: "found linnux image: /boot/... found initrd image: /boot/... found memtest86+ image: /boot/... found ubuntu 10.04 oon /dev/sda4. done" There is no "found ubuntu 12.04..." is that expected ? | 04:44 |
| almoxarife | saruthiko: headers for your kernel? | 04:45 |
| saruthiko | almoxarife: I don't know what that means | 04:45 |
| djjeff | I installed NVIDIA drivers from NVIDIAs website | 04:45 |
| djjeff | cause I have a Geforce GTX 560 ti | 04:45 |
| wilee-nilee | kristenbb, Did you run the sudo fdisk -l command to confirm the 12.04 partition and mount it first? | 04:46 |
| almoxarife | djjeff: might want to look at all the reasons to delete that install and look at nvidia-current package | 04:46 |
| kristenbb | wilee-nilee: mount it first ? what do you mean ? I chrooted into the 12.04 partition. | 04:46 |
| wilee-nilee | kristenbb, #5 command in that wiki | 04:47 |
| kristenbb | wilee-nilee: (which is on /dev/sdb) | 04:47 |
| almoxarife | djjeff: with that kind of graphics you should be doing better than vesa, unless you intentionally are booting into fallback/failsafe mode | 04:47 |
| kristenbb | wilee-nilee: yes I issued that command. | 04:47 |
| djjeff | will installing nvidia-current affect my GAMES in WINE 1.5.16 | 04:48 |

| somsip | hugenumbers: you need a tiling thingy. What WM are you using? | 07:48 |
| ddsasdsuiq | i use vmware | 07:52 |
| hugenumbers | somsip i just need one to work with my openbox | 07:52 |
| Gallomimia | how can i slice off a piece of my vps's filesystem and make some swap? | 07:52 |
| somsip | hugenumbers: maybe this will help http://urukrama.wordpress.com/openbox-guide/#Tile | 07:52 |
| Jordan_U | Gallomimia: You can just create a swap file. | 07:53 |
| Gallomimia | oh that's much easier.. know a guide? | 07:53 |
| hugenumbers | somsip: Thanks | 07:54 |
| msx | Gallomimia: boot Ubuntu-live, run gparted, shrink -if needed- a partition that have too much space to the size you plan to give to the swap then make the swap on the new space left. | 07:56 |
| msx | Gallomimia: you will need to edit /etc/fstab after that to let the system know you have a swap partition it can use. | 07:56 |
| Gallomimia | this is a vps in a datacenter. there will be no live CD's for me | 07:57 |
| Jordan_U | Gallomimia: http://digitizor.com/2011/02/06/create-swap-file-ubuntu-linux/ | 07:57 |
| msx | Gallomimia: oops, didn't read the *vps* part, lol! | 07:58 |
| MrInode0MS | Hi. I need to have only my custom sources.list entries in debian-installer. Does someone know how I can disable the autogeneration of sources.list | 08:00 |
| Gallomimia | the only reason i feel i need a swap file is cause do-release-upgrade fails with out of memory message. it's a truly tiny vps, and i don't need much ram at all | 08:00 |
| cristian_c | Hi | 08:03 |
| Gallomimia | hi. | 08:04 |
| cristian_c | I've found that I can send commands to my irc client from a configuration file: perform.conf | 08:04 |
| cristian_c | for example: cmd = /join #ubuntu | 08:04 |
| cristian_c | If I add this line to a particular server section, the command is executed | 08:04 |
| Gallomimia | it's handy | 08:04 |
| Gallomimia | you can use it to auth too | 08:05 |
| cristian_c | I could launch a script in the same manner: cmd = /exec -o ~/scriptname | 08:05 |
| cristian_c | I'd like to use this tecnique for use a personal quit message in irc | 08:05 |
| cristian_c | How can I do to get this? | 08:05 |
| mz|` | /quit "message" | 08:06 |
| somsip | cristian_c: you really need support for your IRC client. This is ubuntu support | 08:06 |
| Gallomimia | i think the quit message is in another configure | 08:06 |
| cristian_c | somsip, my client is into the official ubuntu repo | 08:06 |
| somsip | cristian_c: which client do you use? | 08:07 |
| cristian_c | Gallomimia, I've checked all the config files :) | 08:07 |
| cristian_c | somsip, lostirc | 08:07 |
| cristian_c | Gallomimia, this config file lets me use command and scripts in a server :) | 08:07 |
| Gallomimia | man lostirc | 08:08 |
| Gallomimia | type it now >< | 08:08 |
| amriloi | llll | 08:08 |
| cristian_c | mz|`, this command quits me from the server. i'd like to use always the same quit message | 08:09 |
| somsip | cristian_c: join #lostirc to get support from people who use this | 08:09 |
| cristian_c | somsip, lostirc is an empty channel | 08:09 |
| Legolas | l | 08:11 |
| cristian_c | Gallomimia, i've opened the client's man | 08:11 |

| Gallomimia | cristian_c: www.lmgtfy.com?q=lostirc+quit+message | 08:12 |
| impulze | hey ya, how can i change the terminal opened by the unity startmenu and ctrl+alt+t? | 08:13 |

| Gallomimia | $TERM ? | 08:13 |
| impulze | Gallomimia: no? | 08:14 |
| cristian_c | Gallomimia, there is no inherent link in the google page :( | 08:14 |
| cristian_c | *there are | 08:14 |
| Gallomimia | alright well i'm at the end of my ideas for you. as was said earlier, this is ubuntu support, not irc client support | 08:15 |
| cristian_c | Gallomimia, I thought it was an official repo package | 08:16 |
| cristian_c | :) | 08:17 |
| Gallomimia | yeah. this is for the operating system, and using it. | 08:17 |
| helpcrypto | hi | 08:17 |
| somsip | cristian_c: with common applications, you may well get help in here. With little known applications, you may not. That's why you've been redirected to the support channel for that specfic app | 08:17 |
| helpcrypto | in ubuntu 12.04 (as debian, AFAIK) they have moved to multiarch (/usr/lib/x86_64...), while 10.04 uses /usr/lib64, and 11.04 uses /usr/lib64->lib | 08:17 |
| helpcrypto | to sum up: a complete mess for me | 08:17 |
| helpcrypto | is there a command to get the library directory? | 08:18 |
| helpcrypto | something that in 12.04 returns /usr/lib/x86_64, while /usr/lib64 in 10.04 and whatever in 11 (talking about ubuntu) | 08:18 |
| cristian_c | somsip, where is the blacklisted application for the support channel? :) | 08:18 |
| cristian_c | somsip, I've done that, but it's an empty channel | 08:19 |
| doomlord | it seems to be letting me create a partitioned usb stick with one partition as bootable now ... couldn't do it before - perhaps this is a 12.10 update | 08:19 |
| somsip | cristian_c: you ask, and if people are unable to help you, you come back another time. End of conversation | 08:19 |
| Gallomimia | cristian_c: i browsed the docs a little on their sourceforge page. there may not be a way to set the quit message at all | 08:19 |
| cristian_c | somsip, I do always this :) | 08:20 |
| impulze | well gconf-editor was the key, thanks for nothing ;) | 08:20 |

| cristian_c | helpcrypto, I've seen that my irc client (it's into the ubuntu repo) has got a config file (called perform.conf), that lets to launch commands or scripts | 08:22 |

| fiko | !ciao | 08:40 |
| Slart | jeaton: if it *is* a valid ext4 file system you should be able to just mount it as an ext4 filesystem, I suppose | 08:40 |
| Slart | jeaton: or I might be misunderstanding what you want to do | 08:41 |
| fiko | !ciao | 08:42 |
| === _Techie_-_AFK_ is now known as techie | ||
| jeaton | Slart - it originally had an ext4 filesystem, something happened when I was upgrading ubuntu | 08:44 |
| jeaton | now it is unbootable, and under gparted, the filesystem is now unknown | 08:44 |
| Vitamin-D | My best friend Lines won't give me a hug. What do you think I should do? | 08:45 |
| Slart | jeaton: oh.. you might want to try some of the recovery tools that are out there.. some can just recover files but I think there might be a couple that can actually try to fix the filesystem.. I don't think any of them are turnkey systems where you can just press a "fix" button but it might be worth a try | 08:45 |
| almoxarife | jeaton: see a partion that looks familiar in size to yours with another partion number? | 08:46 |
| Slart | jeaton: before you start messing with the recovery tools I would recommend making a backup (if the files are important to you) or you might end up destroying what's left | 08:46 |
| Slart | !recovery | jeaton | 08:46 |
| ubottu | jeaton: To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" | 08:46 |
| Vitamin-D | Hey, someone. I need to figure out how to get this girl to give me a hug. Any suggestions? | 08:46 |

| BluebirdShao | L3top: "no sensors found!" | 09:02 |
| L3top | in that case BluebirdShao you either dont have sensors or linux cannot use em. | 09:04 |
| almoxarife | BluebirdShao: http://lm-sensors.org/wiki/FAQ/Chapter2 <-- look at the instructions here, see 'run sensors..............' , did you already do that? | 09:04 |

| almoxarife | BluebirdShao: the right answer to the script is 'yes' all the way till it closes | 09:08 |
| BluebirdShao | almoxarife: I have typed "yes" to all. and it tell me to insert "max6650" to /etc/modules. | 09:09 |
| BluebirdShao | almoxarife: and i can see "max6650" when i typed "lsmod" | 09:10 |
| almoxarife | BluebirdShao: alright, so what is keeping you? what is your desktop? | 09:11 |
| L3top | TomyLobo: might look for details in /var/lib/dpkg/status and status.old too... will require some clever grepping | 09:11 |
| TomyLobo | history.log seems fine, thanks | 09:11 |

| TomyLobo | but it doesn't | 09:19 |
| BluebirdShao | almoxarife: exactlly, i've added it on Oct 28, so... | 09:19 |

| DoNoBaN | vfw, I do all the process from win7. I went to disk manager, and on win7 parttion select add mirror, | 09:45 |
| DoNoBaN | vfw, win 7 disk manager :/ | 09:46 |
| the_dark_knight | jrib: I don't know upstart. Is it some program? | 09:46 |
| jrib | the_dark_knight: upstart is ubunut's init daemon | 09:46 |
| the_dark_knight | Slart: by "watchdog" I think you mean a daemon. But how do I do that? | 09:46 |
| jrib | ubuntu* | 09:46 |
| vfw | DoNoBaN: What is the end goal? | 09:47 |
| jrib | the_dark_knight: how do you start this gearman software? | 09:47 |
| vfw | DoNoBaN: What exactly are you trying to do? | 09:47 |
| the_dark_knight | jrib: but it will be only for the reboot condition. what for the fail/abort | 09:47 |
| vfw | DoNoBaN: Or; What exactly were you trying to do from the start? | 09:47 |
| Slart | the_dark_knight: afaik watchdog is what you call a system like the one you described.. this thread from stackoverflow might be useful http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9072879/how-to-use-linux-software-watchdog | 09:47 |
| the_dark_knight | jrib: you have to install gearmand first and start the gearmand daemon like gearmand -d | 09:48 |
| jrib | the_dark_knight: upstart provides facilities to respawn processes (see "respawn" in the upstart cookbook) | 09:48 |
| DoNoBaN | vfw, I use win7 for some things with a lot of HD usage. So I want to try some raid for improve read speed | 09:48 |
| the_dark_knight | Slart: thanks looking into it | 09:48 |
| jalansore- | what shell command to know hardware specification? | 09:48 |
| the_dark_knight | jrib: Started reading respawn and upstart hold on. | 09:49 |
| Slart | jalansore-: lshw | 09:49 |
| vfw | DoNoBaN: Ask the folks on #windows /join #windows | 09:49 |
| Slart | jalansore-: you might want to pipe the output to a file or use use "more" or "most" | 09:50 |
| DINESH_ | hi | 09:50 |
| DoNoBaN | vfw, ok probably they have more information about SFS and dynamic partitions, lets go | 09:50 |
| DINESH_ | DINESH_ | 09:51 |
| jrib | the_dark_knight: anyway, the other options I know about are daemontools and just using a "while true; do COMMAND; done" loop. upstart is probably the "nicest" way I know about | 09:51 |
| ddsasdsuiq | just try words | 09:51 |
| Slart | the_dark_knight: this one looks promising as well.. good explanation of how it works as well http://blog.eracc.com/2010/05/08/linux-monitor-a-service-with-a-watchdog-script/ | 09:51 |

| Slart | !undelete | riqdiiz | 09:59 |
| ubottu | riqdiiz: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 09:59 |
| jrib | riqdiiz: you should reinstall probably... | 09:59 |
| Slart | riqdiiz: but without /usr it might be hard to fix the system | 09:59 |
| riqdiiz | slart the trash was emptied :-( | 10:00 |
| enav | hello, im running a LAMP server on my 12.04 desktop, i changed the apache execution user and group to my user and group to avoid any ownership problems, but now when i try to upload database files to phpmyadmin it wont let me do it, changed back the original apache and group values and now it let me upload db files again.... so how can i have apache running under my name and group and be able to upload db files to phpmyadmin... ??? thanks | 10:00 |
| Slart | riqdiiz: if you check the links ubottu sent you you'll find that it mentions some tools that are a bit more advanced than the trash can =) | 10:01 |
| llutz | enav: you don't want to run apache as your user, change it back, add yourself to the www-data group to avoid issues | 10:01 |
| Slart | riqdiiz: but most likely you're looking at a reinstall.. some of the files recovered might be damaged without you knowing about it resulting in some very weird behaviour in the future | 10:02 |
| riqdiiz | just a minute ..... | 10:02 |
| enav | i know it bring security problems but i raised a firewall, i need this to be like this to be able to edit my web files right away with no problems at all | 10:02 |

| rocks3 | hi does anyone know if catalyst legacy has been updated to work with xorg 13, or if it will ever be updated? | 10:03 |
| the_dark_knight | jrib: Slart, I think the upstart or init is for the reboots and respawn is to restart after every abort. Also I don't have /etc/inittab what do I need for this? | 10:04 |
| aiFrantz | enav : just a question, where did you place the web root folder? you just mentioned about "be able to edit my web files right away with no problem". | 10:04 |
| the_dark_knight | jrib: Slart, respawn looks promising | 10:04 |
| jrib | the_dark_knight: "respawn" is something you can add to an init job configuration. I don't know why you are looking for /etc/inittab | 10:04 |
| jrib | s/init/upstart init | 10:05 |
| the_dark_knight | jrib: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9072879/how-to-use-linux-software-watchdog this link was given to me by Slart . I was referring to it from the discussion on this links | 10:06 |
| jrib | the_dark_knight: ubuntu uses upstart, read the upstart docs | 10:06 |
| Slart | the_dark_knight: I would go with the "official way" ie the stuff jrib told you about.. the watchdog script will take more work and might need customization (as you noticed with inittab) | 10:07 |
| jrib | the_dark_knight: you can ask the #upstart guys if upstart will respect the "respawn" lines in /etc/inittab but I doubt it | 10:08 |
| a_ | yo | 10:08 |
| === erry_ is now known as erry | ||
| jrib | the_dark_knight: thus why I said you would need to create an upstart job and include "respawn" in it. See the upstart cookbook for examples of this | 10:08 |
| Archaical | i would agree with jrib btw, sorry to just jump in there | 10:09 |
| Archaical | i was just working on something similiar with a teamspeak 3 job i was working on. | 10:09 |

| vfw | Is there a way to change filesystem IDs in a non-destructive way? | 10:36 |
| _cronus_ | vfw, do you mean partition's system id? if so it is a non-destructive operation by itself. if you don't mind me asking, why would you want to? | 10:42 |
| Kartagis | can I create a logical volume on an existing physical disk? | 10:42 |
| Kartagis | or would that wreck it? | 10:42 |
| vfw | _cronus_: A friend of mine has used Disk Manager in Win7 to try and mirror his Win7 partition to another drive, but in the process it changed the filesystem IDs. See: http://pastebin.com/apXZjcq4 | 10:45 |
| vfw | _cronus_: http://www.mlincek.com/image.axd?picture=image_thumb_2.png (Image of Disk Manager in the process.) | 10:46 |
| vfw | _cronus_: And here is report from bootinfoscript http://pastebin.com/jf9TCxN8 | 10:46 |
| vfw | _cronus_: So he can just use fdisk to change it back. Right? | 10:47 |
| Gustavus | hello can anyone answer me some question? | 10:47 |
| newbodhi | Codeweavers Crossover Office 11 is free today, you can get your copy from their website :) | 10:48 |
| _cronus_ | vfw, sure, but try to mount it first. maybe microsoft's mirror is not 1-to-1 copies of the partition. | 10:49 |
| vfw | _cronus_: he did. He used a Ubuntu live CD and verfiied that he can mount and read the data. | 10:50 |
| DaDaDOSPrompt | what is creating these <hostname>.local aliases that seem to work on my 192.168 subnet? | 10:50 |
| _cronus_ | vfw, great. just change the id then. | 10:50 |
| vfw | DoNoBaN: _cronus_ just confirmed my notion that you only need to use fdisk to change the fileystem IDs back. | 10:52 |
| vfw | "_cronus_> vfw, do you mean partition's system id? if so it is a non-destructive operation by itself." | 10:52 |
| DoNoBaN | uhM | 10:53 |

| vfw | DoNoBaN: I suppose. (I just always use fdisk) | 10:55 |
| vfw | DoNoBaN: But I'm sure cfdisk will do. | 10:55 |

| DoNoBaN | see here vfw http://grub-ldm.sourceforge.net/ | 11:04 |
| vfw | DoNoBaN: You can't boot Windows from sda3 anyway. | 11:04 |
| vfw | DoNoBaN: You'r only option is to change the filesystem IDs back to what they were. | 11:05 |
| zAo^ | temp, boot a livecd and do a restore of grub (in the boot options I think) | 11:05 |
| vfw | zAo^: Is that for us? | 11:05 |

| shirish | that behaviour was not there in 12.04 | 11:43 |

| Oprr | jrib, I have wordpress Installed in my pc, and I want install some plugins and the solution is edit the php.ini file.. | 11:43 |
| savio | shirish, lightdm login manager is not loaded on boot | 11:44 |
| Oprr | I don't know if this file exist.. | 11:44 |
| savio | Oprr, use whereis php | 11:44 |
| shirish | @savio -- .. well i'm using unity ..not lightdm | 11:44 |
| Kartagis | !xen | 11:45 |
| ubottu | XEN is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation. Information on installing it for Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen | 11:45 |
| shirish | can you explain why it was working fine in 12.04 | 11:45 |
| savio | unity uses lightdm for graphical login and gnome use gdm login manager | 11:45 |
| Oprr | savio, thanks | 11:45 |
| jrib | Oprr: I suggest you read /usr/share/doc/wordpress* (especially if there is a README.Debian). There may be a special way to install those things because of the packaging. However, if you want to find php.ini, just use locate | 11:46 |
| shirish | but mine boots to tty login and shows the login prompt for few seconds then automatically loads gui | 11:46 |
| Oprr | jrib, thanks ;).. | 11:46 |
| shirish | how can i disable tty login prompt step .. this takes few seconds in between | 11:47 |
| AdvoWork` | i'm trying to improve security, and on my main router i have ssh port forwarded to one of my servers. This is therefore potentially available to the outside world. If i turn it off, i cant ssh into the internal servers, is there any way around this? | 11:47 |
| Muelli | AdvoWork`: I don't fully understand your point but maybe you're looking for "Port Knocking". | 11:49 |
| savio | shirish, you get tty login prompt then after few sec you get gui for login | 11:49 |
| Oprr | jrib, I've forgot the editor by console for edit the file php.ini | 11:49 |
| shirish | @savio yes | 11:50 |
| shirish | gui means full desktop - i set it up as auto login | 11:50 |
| almoxarife | AdvoWork`: actually there is, sort of, tunnel via dns protocol , :) | 11:50 |
| savio | shirish, then i think it's normal | 11:52 |
| AdvoWork` | basically, i can ssh in from home to the server that is setup via port forwarding, but anyone that gets the ip of our server can port scan, and see ssh is open, then attempt to ssh in if you get me | 11:53 |
| savio | !updatedb | 11:53 |
| Oprr | savio | 11:54 |
| heroandtn3 | !info | 11:54 |
| iceroot | AdvoWork`: and because of that strong passwords are a good way | 11:54 |
| shirish | savio, that behaviour was never there in 12.04 .. i believe it's only introduced in 12.10 | 11:54 |
| bubu\a | AdvoWork`, you have a few options, best is to use RSA keys to login via SSH | 11:55 |
| Oprr | what command can I use for edit some file by console? example: php.ini | 11:55 |
| bubu\a | that way brute force wont work | 11:55 |
| almoxarife | AdvoWork`: you can't get around having to open a port to within the home-net at the router | 11:55 |
| bubu\a | dissalow password auth | 11:55 |
| iceroot | Oprr: nanno filename | 11:55 |
| bubu\a | change the default port ssh listens on from 22 to a higher port so it doesnt get scanned so much | 11:55 |
| savio | shirish, 12.10 is still in development 12.04 it tag LTS | 11:55 |
| iceroot | Oprr: or vi filename if you know how to use vi | 11:55 |
| DJones | AdvoWork`: One suggestion is to use a non standard port to ssh instead of port 22 | 11:55 |
| savio | Oprr, use nano | 11:56 |
| iceroot | savio: 12.10 is not in development anymore | 11:56 |
| bubu\a | or use something which bans IP's that bruteforce the SSH too many times | 11:56 |
| iceroot | savio: just security fixes like all other releases | 11:56 |
| savio | iceroot, sorry but still its not have LTS tag | 11:56 |
| shirish | but i must say 12.10 boot is way slower than 12.04 | 11:56 |
| iceroot | savio: 12.10 will never be LTS | 11:56 |
| savio | iceroot, why? | 11:57 |
| iceroot | savio: 8.04, 10.04, 12.04, 14.04 are lts | 11:57 |
| almoxarife | 12.10 is lts | 11:57 |
| iceroot | !lts | savio | 11:57 |
| ubottu | savio: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) | 11:57 |
| iceroot | almoxarife: 12.10 is NOT lts | 11:57 |
| shirish | 12.04 is lts .. not 12.10 | 11:57 |
| iceroot | almoxarife: and 12.10 will never be lts | 11:57 |
| savio | iceroot, ohhhhh thanks | 11:58 |
| noway | Hi. Is it possible to view/change iptables of a system by accessing this system through a live cd / rescue system? The command 'ip route show table ...' only refers to the system ofthe live cd / rescue system, doesn't it? | 11:59 |
| iceroot | noway: with chroot yes, or by editing the iptables files directly when you have access to the hd | 11:59 |
| noway | i have access to the hd, but i am not able to find the right files... | 12:00 |
| savio | i think before trying to install any open source os wait for months after its release So any issues with it can be fixed within that time period | 12:00 |
| iceroot | savio: if you want a stable system use ubuntu 12.04 LTS | 12:01 |
| savio | iceroot, i know i'm suggesting it to shirish | 12:01 |
| iceroot | savio: it has nothing to do with open source and closed source. if you install windows 8 now you will be facing bugs too which will be fixed in the next time | 12:01 |
| iceroot | savio: then put the name infront of the line :) | 12:01 |
| Osarius | What does this mean and how can I fix it? | 12:02 |
| Osarius | yacy@vks12378:~/yacy$ firefox | 12:02 |
| Osarius | (firefox:4607): GConf-WARNING **: Client failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon: | 12:02 |

| === zf_ is now known as zf | ||
| savio | iceroot, get it won't happen next time :) | 12:02 |
| noway | iceroot: i will try chroot, but can you tell me, where i can find the iptables files? | 12:03 |
| Noriandir | hi. does any of you knows how to decompress a 230gb dd file from a gz? from the terminal? | 12:03 |
| ak5 | I have a "amd64" version of ubuntu server 12.04 - this works onintel x86_64 architecture too, right? | 12:03 |
| almoxarife | ak5: right | 12:04 |
| ak5 | almoxarife: thanks | 12:04 |
| iceroot | noway: sorry dont know which file iptables is using | 12:05 |
| savio | noway, use locate | 12:05 |
| llutz | Noriandir: gunzip foo.gz -dc | dd of=/dev/sdXY bs=4k | 12:06 |
| noway | i already did and i think i viewed every file with iptables in it but maybe i missed something. | 12:06 |
| noway | savio, i mean with 'iptables' in its filename | 12:07 |
| iceroot | noway: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/location-of-iptables-config-file-10037/ | 12:07 |
| iceroot | noway: maybe that is usefull | 12:07 |
| iceroot | noway: dont know if it is still using that files | 12:08 |
| Noriandir | llutz, that will extract the file to the root of the /dev/sdX partition? | 12:08 |
| === Purian23|Afk is now known as Purian23|Work | ||
| Noriandir | llutz, or will it rewrite the partition? | 12:08 |
| llutz | Noriandir: that will rewrite the partition | 12:08 |
| savio | iceroot, for current version man page will be helpful | 12:08 |
| llutz | Noriandir: if it is an disk-image use of=/dev/sdX | 12:09 |
| Noriandir | llutz, i just want to decompress the file in order to mount it and recover some specific folder | 12:09 |
| llutz | Noriandir: gunzip foo.gz then | 12:09 |
| Noriandir | llutz, already tried it. got the error: file too large | 12:09 |
| llutz | Noriandir: make sure to have enough space on the filesystem left | 12:10 |
| Noriandir | I have 430gb for a 230gb file, so no problem there | 12:10 |
| llutz | 430 - 230 - size of the .gz file | 12:10 |
| noway | iceroot, thanks a lot! i guess chroot will be the best way for now | 12:11 |
| Noriandir | llutz, gz file is 4gb | 12:11 |
| iceroot | noway: think so too | 12:11 |
| llutz | Noriandir: what filesystem? | 12:11 |
| Noriandir | llutz, and the 430 is already the free space reported by nautilus | 12:11 |
| llutz | Noriandir: on the drive, not the image | 12:11 |
| iceroot | savio: that info is missing in the manpage or where did you find it? | 12:12 |
| Noriandir | llutz, good question... its a external drive... | 12:12 |
| llutz | Noriandir: sounds as vfat with 4gb filesizelimt | 12:12 |
| llutz | limit | 12:12 |
| Noriandir | llutz, i was thinking the same thing =/ | 12:12 |
| llutz | Noriandir: no chance then | 12:12 |

| Mailman | I updated my graphics drivers yesterday to fix a screen brightness problem, but now my laptop won't wake from sleep. I'm on an Acer Aspire One running Kubuntu. | 12:37 |
| iceroot | Orochikaku: i dont see a real question | 12:37 |
| nikolam | Orochikaku, that pastebin should be said here :) | 12:37 |
| iceroot | Orochikaku: we dont know what you want to do with the system | 12:37 |
| iceroot | Orochikaku: 500gb for ubuntu only? then use the default from the installer | 12:37 |
| nikolam | Orochikaku, you want to install ubuntu on that external USB drive? | 12:37 |
| nikolam | I suggest you make separate Linux and separate NTFS partition for data exchange with other platforms. | 12:38 |
| ak5 | nikolam: only necessary if he wants to dual boot | 12:38 |
| Orochikaku | iceroot, well when I try install ubuntu it says you don't have a boot drive selected and asks me to setup partitions, bieng this is the first time I have ever mingled out of NFTS its scaring me, online guides tell me I need a SWAP (IDK what that is either). | 12:38 |
| Orochikaku | NTFS | 12:39 |
| Orochikaku | * | 12:39 |
| ak5 | Orochikaku: how much memory do you have and is this a laptop? | 12:39 |
| ak5 | Orochikaku: I am assuming you want to install a desktop? | 12:39 |
| nikolam | Orochikaku, swap is set up by itself during install, Or jou just make separate partition for it and tell setup to use it as swap. | 12:39 |
| Orochikaku | ak5, no, no a external hardrive. | 12:39 |
| rk0r | Turn it off and leave it. :) | 12:40 |
| ak5 | Orochikaku: ok, so you want to install an operating system on an external drive? | 12:40 |
| Orochikaku | yes | 12:40 |
| ak5 | Orochikaku: in this case, no need for a swap partition | 12:40 |
| nikolam | Orochikaku, I would actually disconnect internal drive during install, just to make sure everything ends up on USB HDD | 12:40 |
| ak5 | if you really need to later on you can use a swapfile | 12:40 |
| ak5 | unless you want to save your state | 12:41 |
| Orochikaku | you know what I'll bootub into the Live usb and use the trial and we can continue, brb | 12:41 |
| nikolam | Orochikaku, I suggest against using swapfile, but making swap partition during install | 12:41 |
| ak5 | which really depends on what you want to do :D | 12:41 |
| nikolam | It is faster | 12:41 |
| Orochikaku | Ok, I'll reboot into Ubuntu, BRB. | 12:41 |
| nikolam | Orochikaku, it is not a trial, it is fully commercial and you can legaly use it forewer | 12:42 |
| llutz | nikolam: speed differences partition/file on USB are marginal | 12:42 |
| sandiego | hi | 12:42 |
| llutz | both are slow as hell | 12:42 |
| dr_willis | i do full installs to external usb all the time. i tend to set them to use a swap partion on an internal hd i setup ages ago | 12:42 |
| ak5 | llutz: there you go. I really don't see the need for swap unless you have less than 4gb memory and/or want to save the state of your desktop (=hibernate) | 12:43 |
| nikolam | llutz, Not only speed. with partition, that portion of disk is always for that purpose etc. | 12:43 |
| llutz | nikolam: so is a swapfile | 12:43 |
| nikolam | Linux needs to have swap. Even few MB | 12:43 |
| ak5 | :P | 12:43 |
| dr_willis | but i dont move the usb from one pc to another. | 12:43 |
| ak5 | nikolam: this is not true | 12:43 |
| nikolam | llutz, I suggest against swapfile if possible. Multiple Linux version installs can use same swap partition. | 12:43 |
| dr_willis | got no swap at all on this box | 12:44 |
| whi5key | nikolam I have no swap. :P | 12:44 |

| llutz | nikolam: you are right if swap-partition already exists, but only then | 12:47 |

| llutz | nikolam: have you ever used a swapfile or do you even know how this works/is setup? | 12:48 |
| nikolam | llutz, pointless or not, I look at that same way as any drive, If it is on USB3, then it is same speed also | 12:48 |
| Orochikaku | ak5: do you know how to setup a screen share so I can show you what i'm talking about. | 12:49 |
| nikolam | yes, I used to use swapfile when using Knoppix and booting from DVD :) | 12:49 |

| ak5 | Orochikaku: may I suggest just using the defaults (make sure you are pointing at the right drive though) | 12:52 |
| nikolam | gogeta, point is that your case is in minority and newer apps will proove different as always. Point is system needs a bit swap. Check documentation for best practices. | 12:52 |

| sandiego | any palestinian girls here? | 12:53 |
| nikolam | gogeta, notebooks have no souls :) | 12:53 |
| ak5 | nikolam: saying that all installations need swap is dead wrong, sorry. Many of my servers have no use for swap for example | 12:53 |
| llutz | sandiego: this is technical support, you are wrong here | 12:53 |
| nikolam | ak5, then their admins are LAME. As previously stated. :) | 12:54 |
| ak5 | swap on usb install seems outrageous to me, but there are use cases for that as well | 12:54 |
| sandiego | can u guid me plz where to go | 12:54 |
| zAo^ | lol | 12:54 |
| nikolam | ak5, USB3 is as fast as SATA, why you do not understand it is no difference it is on USB? | 12:54 |
| sandiego | guide* | 12:54 |
| gogeta | nikolam: swap was done becouse back in the day ram was expensiv and people used it rather then get more memery | 12:54 |
| llutz | sandiego: ask in #freenode | 12:55 |
| ak5 | nikolam: it is not about the speed. You just don't need it. | 12:55 |
| ak5 | nikolam: gogeta is right | 12:55 |
| sandiego | thanks | 12:55 |
| ankur | Pressing the windows button in the last version of lubuntu i.e. 12.04 used to bring the lxde menu, but it doesn't happen in 12.10. Any solution? Also my printer (HP Deskjet F2235) is not working. The error log is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1320634/ | 12:55 |
| nikolam | gogeta, YES. And during my usage ubunut carrier I had multiple situations where memory usage unexpectedly rise to the roof, overlaping to swap, that saved my day. | 12:55 |
| TimZehta | greetings. i am experiencing a problem with logrotate. i symlinked a log directory for readability (directory is IP, I created hostname symlink). now logrotate creates empty files :( | 12:55 |
| gogeta | nikolam: get more memery | 12:56 |
| ak5 | gogeta: :) | 12:56 |
| nikolam | I use linux since 1996, I guess experience counts a bit :) | 12:56 |
| nikolam | gogeta, get new laptop and put swap on SSD :) | 12:56 |
| ak5 | nikolam: good for you, yet making blanket statements will get you in trouble | 12:56 |
| gogeta | nikolam: so did i a desktop user has no use for swap maybe in a server hosting tons of apps msql etc that will use a tonof memery it still has its use | 12:57 |
| nikolam | ak5, and your lack of experience might end up using windows again :) | 12:57 |
| nikolam | gogeta, ou have wrong perspective. | 12:57 |
| ak5 | nikolam: I don't fear for you, you seem to have a solid opinion based on some erroneous beliefs. I fear for the people that might learn from you | 12:57 |
| gogeta | nikolam: AND YOURS IS OUTDATED | 12:57 |
| gogeta | lol ops caps | 12:58 |
| nikolam | How you open 12GB picture on 4GB RAM machine? Easily. System uses swap WHEN NEEDED. | 12:58 |
| nikolam | gogeta, I think 4GB is too small actually. You should get 32GB . | 12:58 |
| nikolam | and play tetris :) | 12:58 |
| Pumpkin- | doing anything with the image might turn out to be a bit painful, but it will indeed load (if you have enough swap). | 12:58 |
| nikolam | Pumpkin-, yes :) | 12:59 |
| ak5 | Pumpkin-: that's why I always suggest to use 60% of any harddrive for swap | 12:59 |
| gogeta | nikolam: load a 12gb pic on a 4gb box and watch i a fail b strggle even with swap | 12:59 |
| nikolam | ak5, no it is a bad practice. | 12:59 |
| nikolam | gogeta, it will NOT fail if you have swap :) | 12:59 |
| nikolam | it wil just last longer. | 12:59 |
| ak5 | nikolam: oh sorry. I thought there was one answer | 12:59 |

| nikolam | gogeta, why not. they are on torrents, like picture of whole glaxy., | 13:00 |
| gogeta | nikolam: avg user is web email videos games | 13:00 |
| nikolam | Point is that you never know what usage will it be on machine | 13:01 |
| ak5 | gogeta: don't waste your time. long live swap | 13:01 |
| nikolam | Therefore, default recommendations should be usage-proof for general desktop uses | 13:01 |
| gogeta | ak5: lol | 13:01 |
| nikolam | gogeta, you never know. that's the point | 13:01 |
| === RodrigoJimmy_ is now known as RodrigoJimmy | ||
| gogeta | yea yea long live outdated tec | 13:01 |
| nikolam | so you never recommend not using swap per se. | 13:02 |
| BluesKaj | if you're unsure or need a different primary partition then a swap file work well | 13:02 |
| nikolam | gogeta, I guess Linux get big using utdated usage cases, like servers on 80+% machines on internet? | 13:02 |
| BluesKaj | worls well | 13:02 |

| gogeta | nikolam: this rom is the other 10% | 13:03 |
| gogeta | toom | 13:03 |
| nikolam | Linux is NOT firstly desktop, that is misconception. it is Firstly great for server use, then latter. | 13:03 |
| gogeta | lol | 13:03 |
| ak5 | does anyone know what version of ubuntu I plug in to unetbootin for amd64 12.4 lts server edition? live_x64? | 13:03 |
| nikolam | gogeta, yes, but, dont forget all other 90 | 13:03 |
| cnf | imo, linux isn't all that good at desktop | 13:04 |
| gogeta | cnf: ubuntu used to be now eh | 13:04 |
| gogeta | but | 13:04 |
| ak5 | cnf: depends on your hardware :D | 13:04 |
| nikolam | cnf, yup. It is better theese days. And improving. | 13:04 |
| cnf | ak5: no it doesn't | 13:04 |
| gogeta | nikolam: i bet you call unity good | 13:04 |
| gogeta | cnf: try bodhi with e17 its awsome | 13:05 |
| cnf | linux is an awesome server os, and i love working with it | 13:05 |
| Orochikaku | ak5: are you still helping me? If not, is anyone willing to help a nub? | 13:05 |
| nikolam | gogeta, nope, I call unity hell :) But I guess people get used to new things. I tested it on 50+ yrs users. It works for them. :P | 13:05 |
| the_dark_knight | hi, please somebody give me some good links on /etc/inittab and respawn . I want some of my processes to be up and running all the time. I am going crazy, please atlease help me understand how to do this. | 13:05 |
| cnf | it drives me NUTS as a desktop OS, and it has for the past 14+ years | 13:05 |
| goat777face | what's your problem Orochikaku? | 13:05 |
| gogeta | nikolam: nope its hell im using e17 and its inproved so mutch over the years ubuntu should be using it | 13:05 |
| ak5 | cnf: I have 768 GB ram on my desktop :( | 13:06 |
| gogeta | nikolam: the wm the new users forgot was even alive | 13:06 |
| nikolam | cnf, me too. But i just Love it. It is there and improving. I went to Xfce from 2007 onwards | 13:06 |
| cnf | ak5: so what? | 13:06 |
| dr_willis | the_dark_knight: learn upstart to make services on ubuntu | 13:06 |
| ak5 | nothing else will handle it | 13:06 |
| ak5 | :( | 13:06 |

| nikolam | ak5, nice. | 13:07 |
| ak5 | Orochikaku: whats your Q? | 13:07 |
| gogeta | cnf: watch the video | 13:07 |
| goat777face | Orochikaku: what are you having trouble with? | 13:07 |
| ak5 | nikolam: yeah I just got it last week, check out this babe: http://ark.intel.com/products/56253/Intel-Server-Board-S2600GZ | 13:07 |
| gogeta | cnf: just 1 of many modes/themes it has | 13:07 |
| dr_willis | e17 the "we are totally redoing it all again" desktop. ;-) | 13:07 |
| ak5 | I was all like, hey I live in china, I can indulge on hardware cause its cheap | 13:07 |
| cnf | gogeta: yeah, doesn't impress me much | 13:08 |
| llutz | dr_willis: more "we are 10yrs too late" desktop | 13:08 |
| gogeta | cnf: fast as lxde with windows effects and does not have the overhead of compiz | 13:08 |
| Orochikaku | goat777face: I'll send you an imgur album in a sec | 13:08 |
| cnf | can't be worse than this unity stuff i'm on though | 13:08 |
| goat777face | ok, Orochikaku | 13:08 |
| Orochikaku | goat777face: would you mind pm'ing | 13:08 |
| goat777face | I would mind tbh | 13:09 |
| cnf | gogeta: so? there is MUCH more to a WM than pretty effects | 13:09 |
| the_dark_knight | dr_willis: are upstart and init same? I don't understand. I mean init is for restarting the processes after reboot. but I want my processes to restart even after a failure/ abort. please help. | 13:09 |
| nikolam | ak5, maybe ECC is obligatory as RAm gets bigger. As well as Btrfs or ZFS for HDD integrity and disk pools get bigger. | 13:09 |
| dr_willis | 10 years ago e## was huge and heavy... now pcs are 10000* faster.. so its lite. ;-) | 13:09 |
| gogeta | cnf: yep but it does them wile still fast | 13:09 |

| TimZehta | Greetings. I am experiencing a problem with logrotate. I symlinked a log directory for readability (directory is IP, I created hostname symlink). Now logrotate creates empty files. I have not been able to find any bug reports or methods to prevent empty files. | 13:10 |
| gogeta | cnf: e17 was defult for redhat way back in the day | 13:10 |
| nikolam | ak5, how do you cope with it's "already in development" and those horror stories form before, you think it is stable now (12.04) I fresh installed on Btrfs, too. | 13:10 |
| gogeta | cnf: gnome 2 replaced it | 13:10 |
| dr_willis | i dont think ubuntu has inittab anymore | 13:10 |
| ak5 | dr_willis: do you know much about upstart? I am testing ubuntu server edition to use in a server farm and am used to sysvinit or systemd | 13:10 |
| cnf | gogeta: so i'm back with "imo, linux isn't all that good at desktop" | 13:10 |
| ak5 | nikolam: this machine runs archlinux, its all pretty stable here | 13:11 |
| ak5 | no issues as of last week :P | 13:11 |
| dr_willis | ak5 the upstart docs/cookbook page is well done | 13:11 |
| nikolam | ak5, you use stable kernel I suppose. And rolling repo for apps. | 13:11 |
| the_dark_knight | ubottu: thanks .looking at the link. I 'll let you know | 13:11 |
| ubottu | the_dark_knight: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:11 |
| ak5 | nikolam: yeah :D | 13:11 |
| ak5 | nikolam: not everything can be bleeding edge :P | 13:11 |
| gogeta | cnf: guess i like the no thrills managers | 13:12 |
| ak5 | but I needed to patch my kernel to support this kind of ram | 13:12 |
| gogeta | cnf: that does not murder my ssem | 13:12 |
| gogeta | system | 13:12 |
| nikolam | ak5, I was thinking about arch the other day. Got bored with ubuntu 'release freeze' policy. Meaning I get to get used to broken apps for years. | 13:12 |
| cnf | gogeta: i don't think you are duplicating what i am saying... | 13:12 |
| Orochikaku | goat777face: http://imgur.com/a/OxDiS | 13:12 |
| nikolam | ak5, I think those chit chat should move to -offtopic channel and leave #ubutnu for support | 13:13 |
| nikolam | :) | 13:13 |
| ak5 | nikolam: I am the opposite right now. I have been using arch only (finally retired my old netbsd servers) for about a year and it is a b*tch to keep uptodate | 13:13 |
| nikolam | ak5, I see | 13:13 |
| ak5 | k | 13:13 |
| gogeta | cnf: if unity isnt your bain them what heh | 13:13 |
| ak5 | nikolam: nothing will replace arch on my desktop/laptops though. It is soo good | 13:13 |
| the_dark_knight | ubottu: I am downloading upstart from http://upstart.ubuntu.com/download.html but is there any package for upstart so that I can sudo apt-get install | 13:13 |
| ubottu | the_dark_knight: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:13 |
| gogeta | nikolam: arch lol it is fast | 13:14 |
| Orochikaku | goat777face: so, what do I do? | 13:14 |
| cnf | gogeta: nothing... i have yet to find a way for me to like linux as a desktop os | 13:14 |
| cnf | though unity is particularly bad | 13:14 |
| nailora1 | in matlab you have a "keyboard" command to fall back to interactice input within scripts. this is handy for debugging and prototyping. is there something like this for bash/shell? | 13:14 |
| cnf | and needs replacing, fast | 13:14 |
| dr_willis | the_dark_knight: read the upstart cookbook. and docs.. it is the default init system... so it IS installed | 13:14 |
| gogeta | cnf: replace with e17 lol | 13:14 |
| goat777face | what are you trying to do, Orochikaku? | 13:14 |
| cnf | gogeta: no, thank you | 13:14 |
| nikolam | I guess I require file systems snapshots integrated in update process. Therefore I will like to have snapshot support in ubuntu for updates for btrfs, zfs gogeta , at5 | 13:15 |
| Orochikaku | goat777face: Install Ubuntu on a external hardrive. | 13:15 |

| dr_willis | drcode: not that ive seen. | 13:16 |
| nikolam | dr_willis, is upstart used somewhere outside ubuntu-based distros? | 13:16 |
| goat777face | only got one window open I can use, sorry Orochikaku | 13:17 |
| dr_willis | nikolam: it can be. | 13:17 |
| drcode | ok | 13:17 |
| Orochikaku | It's cool goat777face . | 13:17 |
| llutz | drcode: loop mount the image, then bind-mount the directory you want | 13:17 |
| drcode | llutz: how do I bind it? | 13:17 |
| nikolam | dr_willis, but not right now, right. I see many more techology in ubuntu being ubuntu-only, more and more. | 13:18 |
| Orochikaku | So, are you figuring out what to do, or did you allready tell me, and I missed it? (ping : goat777face ) | 13:18 |
| gogeta | nikolam: that just means .deb binarys lol | 13:18 |

| goat777face | I've never had to use swap tbh, even on older PC's | 13:28 |
| goat777face | it just never gets used | 13:29 |
| nikolam | Orochikaku, it is disk space used when RAM is not enough. It swaps out unuse dparts of memory to disk, so apps in memory get more space. ALo is used as RAm replacement when apps need too much ram. Also swap spac eis used when you hibernate machine to disk. | 13:29 |

| Adisman | <lolo567> how do i save? | 13:32 |
| Orochikaku | dr_willis: would swap be Primary or Logical? | 13:32 |
| ActionParsnip | ak5: you can install the package if you press CTRL+ALT+F1 | 13:32 |
| ak5 | ActionParsnip: thanks | 13:33 |
| Orochikaku | dr_willis: ? | 13:33 |
| nikolam | ak5, of course, you just install it while booted form live cd, it will install in memory and run from there. | 13:33 |
| theadmin | Can someone link me to the contribute page? I don't get it anymore when going to the download place | 13:33 |
| Orochikaku | goat777face: would swap be Priamary or Logical? | 13:33 |
| ak5 | nikolam: maybe I don't have the live version then | 13:33 |
| ak5 | ActionParsnip: the built-in ash shell does not have apt | 13:34 |
| ak5 | ActionParsnip: or wget/curl for that matter | 13:34 |
| lolo567 | <Adisman> ctrl-x and hit y | 13:34 |
| nikolam | ak5, one can install .deb.package with dpkg -i | 13:34 |
| vfw | ak5: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ | 13:34 |
| Orochikaku | Why doesn't anyone answer :( | 13:34 |
| ActionParsnip | ak5: ah, then you will have to remaster the ISO to add the package | 13:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Orochikaku: I did earlier.... | 13:34 |
| ak5 | vfw: I created this usb with unetbootin | 13:35 |
| vfw | Orochikaku: It can be either one. | 13:35 |
| Adisman | <lolo567> thx :D | 13:35 |
| Orochikaku | vfw: what would be better? | 13:35 |
| nikolam | Orochikaku, put swap at the end of disk, it you are making it. | 13:35 |
| vfw | ak5: Good, didn't know if you saw it earlier | 13:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Orochikaku: swap can be either primary or logical, it doesn't matter one bit | 13:35 |
| ActionParsnip | ' | 13:35 |
| goat777face | doesn't really matter Orochikaku, but I went for logical | 13:35 |
| vfw | Orochikaku: Doesn't matter | 13:35 |
| Orochikaku | nikolam: Ok, will do. | 13:35 |
| ak5 | ActionParsnip: thats balls, I guess I will boot some other livecd distro to make backups then :( | 13:35 |
| nikolam | I suggest putting first primary ntfs for data exchange, then Linux primary, then swap. | 13:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Orochikaku: if it was important, the installer would handle it | 13:35 |
| vfw | nikolam: Why? | 13:35 |
| ActionParsnip | ak5: why not use the Ubuntu liveCD? | 13:36 |
| vfw | nikolam: I suggest the swap first, | 13:36 |
| ak5 | ActionParsnip: don't have one on hand. I really just want to try out the server version | 13:36 |
| === Youri is now known as YBook | ||
| nikolam | vfw, I gess becaus windblows always loved to be primary/first in case of dualboot... | 13:36 |
| nikolam | thats why | 13:36 |
| ActionParsnip | ak5: the server version is just a pure CLI based ubuntu. It's nothing drastically different | 13:36 |
| ActionParsnip | nikolam: it doesn't have to be | 13:36 |
| ak5 | ActionParsnip: yeah but I am installing headless :D | 13:37 |
| vfw | nikolam: Oh yes. If you ever wanted to do MS Windows install, by all means, leave one there at the first. | 13:37 |
| ak5 | nikolam: newer bootloaders can handle it either way | 13:37 |
| ActionParsnip | ak5: could use a gentoo CD and install openssh-server :) | 13:37 |
| Orochikaku | nikolam: OK, so other than swap all I need is a Ext4 /boot right? | 13:37 |
| nikolam | I know, but windblows needs primary, anyway, so why spoil the fun, when swap can be anywhere, including the end | 13:37 |
| ak5 | ActionParsnip: will do this but with arch | 13:37 |
| ActionParsnip | nikolam: it doesn't need to be primary at all | 13:37 |
| vfw | ActionParsnip: For a windows install? | 13:37 |
| vfw | ActionParsnip: It needs to be the first partition. Right? | 13:38 |
| ActionParsnip | vfw: yes, it's just a partition, its irrelevant if its primary or logical, doesn;t matter | 13:38 |
| nikolam | Orochikaku, or you can choose Btrfs if installing from alternate CD :) Nevermind, just choose ext4, you can update to Btrfs if needed at a later time :) | 13:38 |
| vfw | ActionParsnip: Are you still talking about swap? | 13:38 |
| ActionParsnip | vfw: no, its just that people installing dual boot, install Windows first, so it happens to be a primary partition | 13:38 |
| goat777face | hope it works out for you Orochikaku, I gotta go do my chores. | 13:38 |
| ak5 | I still don't see why ubuntu server doen't have ssh packaged by default :( that's just messy | 13:39 |
| nikolam | ActionParsnip, well, depends on windblows release and also I know windblows make 2 partitions now | 13:39 |
| vfw | ActionParsnip: If it's the first partition, it WILL be a primary partition. | 13:39 |
| ActionParsnip | vfw: you could boot to Ubuntu liveCD and setup the partitions, then install Windows to a logical partition then install Ubuntu to 2 primary partitions, one for / and one for swap | 13:39 |
| Orochikaku | nikolam: I am installing from a alternate PENDRIVE, so I should get Btrfs and put it on /boot? | 13:39 |
| ActionParsnip | vfw: you can make the drive 100% extended partition and use only logical partitions | 13:39 |
| nikolam | Orochikaku, just make sure you write grub (upade-grub) to right disk (e.g. USB HD, not main disk on SATA in machine) | 13:39 |
| Orochikaku | nikolam: got it. | 13:40 |
| nikolam | Orochikaku, just follow defaults. don't worry much for now :) | 13:40 |
| vfw | ActionParsnip: Oh, ok. Well, I've just never done that. I always make the 4th one extended. | 13:40 |
| Orochikaku | nikolam: Then I install to /boot right? Do I give all my empty space to /boot? Or do I need / for normal files? | 13:41 |
| vfw | It just seems silly to have only 4 partitions and they're all logical ones. | 13:41 |
| ActionParsnip | vfw: its doable, but the usual is to have the first partition primary as the Windows installer is a bit basic | 13:41 |
| nikolam | Orochikaku, for novel user, you just need to choose "/" | 13:41 |
| ActionParsnip | vfw: with logical partitions, you can have as many as you desire | 13:41 |
| vfw | ActionParsnip: yes, that's right. | 13:41 |
| nikolam | swap making is optional but recommended, ntfs primary is optional, too | 13:41 |
| Orochikaku | nikolam: would the computer detect it as a boot device though? | 13:42 |
| AlexNagy | Hey all, I have a problem with 12.04 LTS. I've resized the partition twice (shrinking it down leaving a few GBs free each time) with a GParted boot-stick. the first time all went well, but now it boot. The only difference is I moved the swap to a different primary partition. It won't boot in rescue mood or anything. It just freezes at the loading screen (UBUNTU with the dots underneath). I have 3g of RAM | 13:42 |
| nikolam | Orochikaku, that depends on saving GRUb boot loader at the end of instalaltion and also on your computer settings from Where to boot first (BIOS) | 13:42 |
| vfw | But if you dont ever intend to install MS Windows, there's no reason for ntfs partition. | 13:42 |
| AlexNagy | but now it won't boot* | 13:43 |
| the_dark_knight | how Do I add job to initctl (from upstart) ? this job is supposed to be up and running all the time. | 13:43 |
| ActionParsnip | vfw: it'll make life easier too :) | 13:43 |
| Orochikaku | nikolam: you also mentioned removing the sata first right? | 13:43 |
| nikolam | AlexAv, that is why you get swap last not to interfere in future. | 13:44 |
| socket | hello guys, i've got ubuntu server machine, pretty sure apache is not intalled, is there a good way to find out for sure? | 13:44 |
| nikolam | Orochikaku, as fail-safe. | 13:44 |
| vfw | AlexNagy: Looks like maybe you've changed the partition number of the root filesystem. | 13:44 |

| vfw | AlexNagy: Grub tries but will not boot? What error do you get? | 13:44 |
| socket | thanks llutz | 13:45 |
| nikolam | AlexAv, I guess you would need to boot form LiveCD and change /etc/fstab settings to point to the right UUID/disk partition for your / | 13:45 |
| AlexNagy | vfw: Ubuntu is the first partition, and always has been. GRUB loads, and I can get to it checking battery state (I'm on a laptop) but it catches there. No error. | 13:45 |

| vfw | AlexNagy: I think it's a different problem. | 13:46 |
| llutz | tubbo: wrong channel | 13:46 |
| tubbo | i would prefer a nice graphical linux distro like ubuntu, since it would be easy to install chrome | 13:46 |
| AlexNagy | vfw: I have three. 1: Ubuntu ext4; 2: ext2 (formerly swap), 3: ufs, 4: swap (new) | 13:46 |
| ActionParsnip | tubbo: check system76 | 13:47 |
| tubbo | llutz: heh i guess it's a little too vague...what i really mean is what's the best low-level laptop for ubuntu? or where can i "shop around" | 13:47 |
| nikolam | tubbo, buy one that surely have all parts supported for Linux. You choose by comapring price and all parts for compatibility. | 13:47 |
| ActionParsnip | tubbo: omgubuntu has some tips on companies pre-installing ubuntu | 13:47 |

| vfw | AlexNagy: What is ufs? | 13:49 |
| nikolam | vfw, ufs is a file system for freebsd, unices | 13:49 |
| AlexNagy | vfw: No, I didn't. ufs is the native fs for FreeBSD (which I'm chatting from now) | 13:50 |
| nikolam | AlexAv, isn't t is ZFS now? | 13:50 |
| vfw | AlexNagy: So you moved the swap partition from the second to the forth partition? | 13:51 |
| AlexNagy | nikolam: You really need to check your tab complete. ZFS is an option, but by default it is ufs (I did a default install from boot-stick for 9.0-release) | 13:51 |
| AlexNagy | vfw: Yes, as I was needing a unified space to act as intermediary betweeun Ubuntu and FreeBSD | 13:51 |
| nikolam | AlexAv, oh I see, I just thought every freebsd user these days will bi on zfs. | 13:52 |
| vfw | AlexNagy: And Ubuntu is in the first partition and always has been? /dev/sda1 | 13:52 |
| AlexNagy | vfw: Yes | 13:52 |
| AlexNagy | the only thing to change is location of swap | 13:52 |
| vfw | AlexNagy: Why couldn't it stay there as the third partition? | 13:52 |
| nikolam | use ZFS as intermediary, since Linux now supports ZFS boot and BE's | 13:52 |
| ikonia | ubuntu does not support zfs | 13:53 |
| ikonia | it is not part of the ubuntu kernel | 13:53 |
| AlexNagy | vfw: Because gparted doesn't handle ufs, though it recognizes it. Otherwise I would have made ext2 third and ufs fourth | 13:53 |
| nikolam | I think Ubuntu uses UUID to identify partition for some time now. | 13:53 |
| vfw | AlexNagy: You created the new ext2 partition (/dev/sda2) for what reason? | 13:53 |
| vfw | AlexNagy: Well, you could have just changed the partition's ID | 13:54 |
| nikolam | ikonia, you are right. You need to add ZFS from PPA before installing on ZFS | 13:54 |
| AlexNagy | vfw: To transfer a massive amount of files from ubuntu to FreeBSD and to act as the home of Dropbox on Ubuntu (no FreeBSD support) | 13:54 |
| ikonia | I would strongly advise against not using ZFS | 13:54 |
| ikonia | unless you have a specific reason to do so that I've missed | 13:54 |
| vfw | AlexNagy: You can change partition IDs non-destructively with fdisk | 13:54 |
| AlexNagy | ikonia: I have no plans to use zfs at this time. | 13:54 |
| llutz | ikonia: "against using" | 13:54 |
| nikolam | ikonia, ZFS is grat for petabyte scale. It is more stable then Btrfs, fyi | 13:54 |
| ikonia | llutz: sorry yes | 13:54 |
| nikolam | ok AlexAv | 13:55 |
| ikonia | nikolam: I'm aware of this, I'm not calling ZFS, I use it all the time in the enterprise, | 13:55 |

| tubbo | llutz: thanks, didn't know there was a #hardware | 14:06 |

| IdleOne | !language | Orochikaku | 14:17 |
| ubottu | Orochikaku: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 14:17 |
| vfw | Orochikaku: 32bit is ok | 14:18 |
| vfw | Orochikaku: That's not a problem | 14:18 |
| nikolam | Orochikaku, it will install fine. Don't sweat :) Just 64-bit is better suited for 64-bit cpu | 14:18 |
| iceroot | Orochikaku: still installing? then use amd64 instead if you have more then 1gb ram | 14:18 |
| nikolam | go get 64bit, anyway, that's the future. | 14:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Orochikaku: you can run 32bit OS on 64bit CPU | 14:19 |
| Orochikaku | Cancel the install? | 14:19 |
| vfw | Orochikaku: Only if you want to. | 14:19 |
| iceroot | Orochikaku: i would suggest to install amd64 if your cpu is able to do it and not install i386 | 14:19 |
| nikolam | Orochikaku, jou can do install it just for fun, while downloading 64-bit .iso :) | 14:19 |
| Orochikaku | nikolam: can you just upgrade? | 14:20 |
| cnf | hmz, damned gnome inconsistencies are driving me nuts | 14:20 |
| vfw | Orochikaku: As far as performance, no difference. | 14:20 |
| Orochikaku | nikolam: or will I have to do a whole re-install? | 14:20 |
| nikolam | i would suggest 64bit too | 14:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Orochikaku: you'd need to reinstall. What is the system used for and how much RAM do you have? | 14:20 |
| vfw | Orochikaku: No you can't just upgrade, you have to install one or the other. | 14:20 |
| iceroot | Orochikaku: you cant upgrade, you have to reinstall to switch to amd64, because of that its always a good idea to use amd64 directly if the cpu is able to do it | 14:20 |
| nikolam | I don't think so. Unless you use Btrfs Volumes to install 2 versions side-by-side on same partition.. and that sound complicating, right? :P | 14:21 |
| vfw | Orochikaku: How much RAM do you have? | 14:21 |
| Orochikaku | vfw: on this system 3.9 on my personal 16. | 14:21 |
| iceroot | Orochikaku: then you MUST install amd64 to use all the ram | 14:21 |
| nikolam | use 64bit. | 14:21 |
| vfw | Orochikaku: Just go on with the 32bit install. (That's what I would do.) | 14:21 |
| iceroot | vfw: why? | 14:22 |
| vfw | iceroot: Why not? | 14:22 |
| iceroot | vfw: 3.9gb ram | 14:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Orochikaku: 32bit should be ok with 4Gb RAM | 14:22 |
| nikolam | iceroot, just for fun? :) | 14:22 |
| iceroot | ActionParsnip: no | 14:22 |
| vfw | iceroot: no what? | 14:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Orochikaku: what is the system going to be used for? | 14:22 |
| Orochikaku | iceroot: REALLY?! Linux does that bullshit too? Where it stops using ram when your using 32bit | 14:22 |
| Orochikaku | ActionParsnip: as a portable OS. | 14:22 |
| iceroot | Orochikaku: that has nothing to do with linux | 14:22 |
| nikolam | Orochikaku, I think you worry too much. Just test it yourself and learn in the process :) | 14:22 |
| bazhang | Orochikaku, no cursing here | 14:22 |
| iceroot | Orochikaku: it has to do with math | 14:23 |
| ActionParsnip | iceroot: sure, maximum RAM for each process is 3.2Gb and the system has barely over that so it will never be reached | 14:23 |
| vfw | iceroot: The 32bit system will utilize the 4G of RAM just fine. No problem. | 14:23 |
| Orochikaku | bazhang: will where I'm from bullshit isn't cursing | 14:23 |
| vfw | iceroot: What math? | 14:23 |
| bazhang | Orochikaku, it is here. so stop it | 14:23 |
| iceroot | vfw: 4gb ram = ram + vga + pci adrressbus | 14:23 |
| ActionParsnip | iceroot: plus the PAE will allow up to 64Gb RAM | 14:23 |
| iceroot | vfw: so you dont see 4gb ram | 14:23 |
| iceroot | vfw: maybe 3.2gb depending on the system | 14:23 |
| vfw | iceroot: Yea you do. | 14:23 |
| iceroot | vfw: so why suggesting i386 then | 14:23 |
| nikolam | Orochikaku, well, linux generally had that problem solved eons ago. and it Will work using all ram, just Apps wont do. That is hardware barrier, not software. | 14:24 |
| vfw | iceroot: It doesn't matter. | 14:24 |
| iceroot | vfw: of course it matters, please dont suggest something like that here | 14:24 |
| Orochikaku | Ahh, ok nikolam never looked into the cause. | 14:24 |
| nikolam | iceroot, guy got cd already installing. nothing else. | 14:24 |
| === [entropy] is now known as [ent] | ||
| Orochikaku | Pendrive* | 14:24 |
| iceroot | nikolam: reinstall | 14:25 |
| Orochikaku | Is there anyway I can stop the install now? | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Orochikaku: i suggest the 32bit, the 64bit will give a cleaner upgrade path plus it's installing. Unless you start doing CPU intensive tasks you won't notice much in 64bit, although you aren't using the full capabilities of your CPU | 14:25 |
| iceroot | Orochikaku: if you are not in the part"resizing/formating the hdd" you can just restart the system | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Orochikaku: if you want to stop it, just open a terminal and run: sudo shutdown -h now | 14:26 |
| gabrielpjordao | Hi, is there a way to stream contents with nginx (gzip enabled) ? may it improve TTFB ? | 14:26 |
| Orochikaku | Wait hold it, I actually want 32 bit. What if I go to a location that does not have a 64bit capable processor... | 14:26 |
| iceroot | Orochikaku: ah you are installing on a usb drive | 14:26 |
| iceroot | Orochikaku: and want to start it on different systems | 14:26 |
| nikolam | iceroot, that sight. | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Orochikaku: then I'd go 32bit :) | 14:26 |
| vfw | iceroot: With the 64bit kernel, he could use more processor features in certain (rare) circumstances. That's all. | 14:27 |
| nikolam | iceroot, that's right. | 14:27 |
| iceroot | vfw: he could address all the ram | 14:27 |
| iceroot | Orochikaku: then use i386 if you want to use it on 32bit systems too | 14:27 |
| nikolam | Orochikaku, you know all you have to know. At the end you will need to end up on 64bit. | 14:27 |
| Orochikaku | iceroot: got it. | 14:27 |
| Orochikaku | nikolam: actually I'll stay on 32bit. | 14:27 |
| nikolam | Orochikaku, how ever you want. | 14:28 |
| nikolam | just being 32bit with 16GB is stupid :) | 14:28 |
| llutz | he will experience other problems than 32/64bit when using an usb-install on different machines (graphics, sound) | 14:28 |
| Orochikaku | nikolam: I'll just boot into Windows for RAM intensive operations. | 14:28 |
| excalibr | hey anyone tried the crossover app that is given for free today? i wonder how it stacks up to the official wine | 14:28 |
| Orochikaku | llutz: just 2. | 14:28 |
| ActionParsnip | nikolam: you can access up to 64Gb with PAE | 14:28 |
| Orochikaku | llutz: I cannot stand admin restrictions at my collage... | 14:29 |
| iceroot | llutz: isnt that handled by udev dynamicly today? so even when installing nvidia drivers it should not fail on intel/amd plattforms because udev will not load it? | 14:29 |
| nikolam | Orochikaku, or you can learn about Btrfs functions and install 64-bit on same disk as 320bit install :) | 14:29 |
| Orochikaku | nikolam: just make another partition and install it there? | 14:29 |
| MonkeyDust | !btrfs | 14:29 |
| ubottu | Btrfs is a new filesystem available for Ubuntu. It is currently marked as experimental, and should not be used for important data. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/btrfs | 14:29 |
| nikolam | Orochikaku, no, learn about Btrfs. He can make subvolumes on same Btrfs partition | 14:30 |
| Orochikaku | > should not be used for important data | 14:30 |
| llutz | iceroot: in theory... maybe. practical spoken: i doubt it all would work without issues | 14:30 |
| iceroot | llutz: :) | 14:30 |
| nikolam | once big palers (suse, oracle) have Btrfs by default, I guess it will be fine to say it is mainstream. | 14:31 |
| llutz | Orochikaku: you don't have admin rights but they allow you to boot from USB? odd | 14:31 |

| bkc_ | !lubuntu | DX099 | 15:42 |
| ubottu | DX099: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 15:42 |

| vfw | DX099: Ok, good. It's just that I've had such good service from xfce across several releases and it's always worked pretty much flawlessly. | 15:58 |
| DX099 | vfw, also why is Lubuntu installing some packages obviously xfce-related ? (http://paste.ubuntu.com/1321094/) see at the end | 15:58 |

| dr_willis | xfburn is nice and quick | 15:59 |
| DX099 | ok | 15:59 |
| blazemore | DX099: I would assume that because LXDE lacks a few graphical config tools, the Lubuntu team decided to go with ones from XFCE instead | 15:59 |

| Alstreim | Intel i7 | 16:03 |
| wols_ | Alstreim: get the amd64 ISO | 16:03 |
| blazemore | kode_: It was a known bug and has apparently now been fixed. What happens if you run "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade" | 16:03 |
| vfw | DX099: Ubuntu developers must have realized that in the areas of keyboard shortcuts and power management, xde was defecient and needed those packages to makeup for shortcomings. [/ASSUMPTIONS] | 16:03 |

| ActionParsnip | ramon: does the system have a make and model? | 16:23 |
| ramon | tarzeau, are you still there? | 16:23 |
| L3top | I am not sure installing experimental drivers is the catch all answer to audio probs... | 16:23 |
| blazemore | ramon: Did you build your desktop or do you have a make and model? | 16:23 |
| tarzeau | ramon: yep | 16:23 |
| cpruitt | Hey guys, I have a very big problem and this is not my wheelhouse. I've accidentally set sudo chmod o-rx / and now my production system is hosed. Is this recoverable? I don't have physical access to the box at the moment but I can if needed. | 16:23 |
| ramon | is a HPP Pavilion | 16:23 |
| tarzeau | ramon: about the beamer? | 16:24 |
| blazemore | L3top: audio is supported out of the box on that laptop for recent ubuntus. it's only 10.10 and below that require the backported driver | 16:24 |
| vfw | L3top: One thing is sure; If you don't do anything, you won't fix anything. | 16:24 |
| blazemore | ramon: There are a lot of HP pavilions, do you have a model number? | 16:24 |
| ramon | beamer? | 16:24 |
| L3top | blazemore: the backport exists without a PPA. | 16:24 |
| k_n | I am on Ubuntu 12.04. I want to use ipython notebook but after installing EPD, I get the following error: `The IPython Notebook requires tornado >= 2.1.0`. | 16:24 |

| tiger_eye_ | hey, I just did a clean install of ubuntu 12.10 with whole-disk encryption (except boot), and I get "evms_activate is not available" upon trying to boot | 16:26 |
| vfw | k_n: sudo apt-get upgrade bittornado | 16:26 |
| ActionParsnip | !info tornado | 16:27 |
| ubottu | Package tornado does not exist in quantal | 16:27 |
| ActionParsnip | !find tornado | 16:27 |
| ubottu | Found: bittornado, bittornado-gui, python-tornado, python3-tornado | 16:27 |
| tiger_eye_ | is there any way around this? how can I "insmod crypto" into the kernel if I can't boot the system? | 16:27 |
| area51pilot | blazemore: there is a file /etc/fstab.BAK that looks like the original file backup. What would be the proper way to revert to that file if my file system check doesnt correcct the mount issue? | 16:28 |
| k_n | vfw: Thank you. Looks like I'd need python(3)-tornado... | 16:28 |
| area51pilot | i can do w/o auto mounting the NTFS file system | 16:28 |
| blazemore | area51pilot: you would "sudo mv /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.broken && sudo mv /etc/fstab.BAK /etc/fstab" | 16:28 |
| vfw | k_n: Ok, well there you go.... | 16:29 |
| blazemore | area51pilot: Basically the /etc/fstab file is what describes partition mounts, so whatever is in there is what will be mounted on boot | 16:29 |
| ActionParsnip | tiger_eye_: boot to liveCD, mount the storage partition and add the command to /etc/rc.local on the installed OS above the 'exit 0' line | 16:29 |
| kt | hi | 16:29 |
| area51pilot | blazemore: thx I understand that but have never had to really mess with it so far :P so im being cautious | 16:29 |
| blazemore | area51pilot: Make a liveCD before you go messing around with stuff you're not 100% confident about | 16:30 |
| L3top | vfw I have plenty of do available. I am not fond of that particular do. | 16:30 |
| tiger_eye_ | thanks, ActionParsnip. by the command, you mean "insmod crypto", right? live CD already booted, will report back in a bit... | 16:30 |
| blazemore | area51pilot: That way if you break something you can just boot from the liveCD and copy the backup back | 16:30 |

| svip | root can play sound, but I cannot. Is some process stealing my sound device? | 16:33 |
| ActionParsnip | tiger_eye_: whatever you run, add it there. The command runs as root | 16:33 |
| blazemore | ramon: Could you please run the command "lspci && echo "--" && lsusb" in a terminal, and then paste the output into http://paste.ubuntu.com and put the link in here? | 16:33 |
| area51pilot | blazemore; Ill paste the BAK file before I do anything and maybe you guys can verify for me it looks valid | 16:33 |

| svip | ActionParsnip: I was able to play sound a few moments ago. So I doubt my groups has changed. | 16:33 |
| ramon | blazemore, ok | 16:34 |
| vfw | L3top: Neither am I an advocate of backports. | 16:34 |
| blazemore | In my experience, sound on Linux only works once you've recited the necessary incantations (or rebooted) | 16:34 |
| ActionParsnip | svip: as your user, run: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* wait 10 seconds then reboot | 16:34 |
| vfw | svip: What error do you get? | 16:34 |
| svip | vfw: None, just no sound. | 16:34 |
| wilee-nilee | ramon, Have you started the computer with the card in, I have a acer that does not always read those cards when just inserted. | 16:35 |
| svip | ActionParsnip: I don't use PulseAudio. | 16:35 |
| vfw | svip: play /usr/share/sounds/alsa/* | 16:35 |

| vfw | svip: ... and tell us what errors you get. | 16:35 |
| svip | vfw: Indeed; no sound. But if I put sudo in front, plenty of sound. | 16:36 |

| jvalentin | maybe it's just me, but installing apache2 on ubuntu is harder than I recall. Was installed, but not managing virtual hosts as expected so reinstalled, and it didn't create httpd config file or sites-available or enabled directories. I followed guides, but Is there a known issue? | 16:41 |
| svip | ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1321242/ This. | 16:41 |
| blazemore | Sorry ramon I can't help you | 16:42 |
| blazemore | jvalentin: You are looking in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ ? | 16:42 |
| ramon | blazemore, thank you ayways | 16:42 |
| jvalentin | yes | 16:42 |
| blazemore | (TIL irssi has tab-completion for filenames, which made my day) | 16:42 |
| jvalentin | blazemore, yes, that's exactly right | 16:43 |
| blazemore | And you installed the apache2 package? | 16:43 |
| logictheo | The page at http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201010-6649/ recommends the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64-bit edition, but it doesn't work. Only the 32-bit version worked. | 16:43 |
| its | hi | 16:43 |
| vfw | svip: Looks like it played without error. Run alsamixer and see if anything is turned down or muted. | 16:44 |
| its | I have a problem with ubuntu and am new to it , can any1 help me plz | 16:44 |
| logictheo | If none cares about this issue just more users will be mislead and possibly consider Ubuntu unprofessional. | 16:44 |
| blazemore | svip: 90% of the time the "PCM" channel is muted | 16:44 |
| area51 | blazemore: can you or someone take a look a this fstab.BAK file and see if it looks valid: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1321251/ | 16:44 |
| svip | vfw: There isn't. But since it works with root, can I not already confirm that? | 16:44 |
| tiger_eye_ | ActionParsnip, I'm not sure I understand your suggestion. If root can't even be decrypted, then '/etc/rc.local' will never get called | 16:45 |
| blazemore | area51: Looks kosher from here | 16:45 |
| svip | blazemore: I cannot even mute the PCM channel. | 16:45 |
| area51 | blazemore: does it look like it will mount sda3? | 16:45 |
| blazemore | area51: I'd recommend changing /dev/sda3 for a UUID though | 16:45 |
| tiger_eye_ | isn't it funky that, you know, a new install with full-disk encryption isn't even able to boot: "evms_activate is not available"? | 16:45 |
| svip | But the three that matters; MAster Front, PCM and Front are all unmuted. And above 20 each. | 16:45 |
| jvalentin | blazemore, yes, apt-get install apache2* is what I ran | 16:46 |
| jvalentin | I get unmet dependencies errors | 16:47 |
| svip | vfw: Users don't have different sound channel levels in my experience, at least not in alsamixer. | 16:47 |
| area51 | blazemore: I dont want to mount sda3 ... this is the NTFS partition i get the mount error on during boot | 16:47 |
| logictheo | By the way I've done the Ubuntu friendly thing. Does anyone know where I can see the results? Are they hosted on some Ubuntu site? | 16:47 |
| Sedated | anybody familiar with using the mini install cd image in a virtual machine? there's no option to install a minimal virtual machine like there is with the full installer. how do i get the virtual kernel installed instead of the normal server one? | 16:47 |
| An_Ony_Moose | blazemore: it runs as a daemon, as the user timidity | 16:47 |
| blazemore | area51: Try changing /dev/sda3 in /etc/fstab with UUID=xxxxx where xxxxx is obtained through "sudo blkid" | 16:47 |
| its | I have 2 problems and an new to ubuntu :) > #1: I cant login to ubuntu from my adminstraitor account, but I can > login from the guest account . I tried to make a new adminstrator > account from the guest account and it works but i still have the > problem with my main account , even after I upgarde from 12.04 to > 12.10 still the same problem .. > -------- > #2: when I try to login to Ubuntu software center it show a d | 16:48 |
| blazemore | area51: I thought your problem was you get an error during boot with /dev/sda3? | 16:48 |
| area51 | blazemore: on line 17? | 16:48 |
| blazemore | sorry? | 16:48 |
| area51 | yes ... i do get the error | 16:48 |
| svip | I mean; if I crank up PCM as my own user, root will also have cPCM cranked up. | 16:48 |
| trism | tiger_eye_: according to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cryptsetup/+bug/957602/comments/3 that message probably isn't why you can't boot | 16:48 |

| jvalentin | blazemore, after I get the unmet dependencies list, I try and install each of those manually, but not sure if that's enough, and then still no httpd conf file anywhere | 16:49 |
| === dpac is now known as dpac|away | ||
| vfw | svip: Or: play /usr/share/sounds/alsa/* 2>&1 |pastebinit #And send resulting URL | 16:49 |
| area51 | blazemore: this is the result of blkid: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1321267/ | 16:49 |
| jvalentin | the /etc/apache2 directory only has a mods-available dir in it, nothing else | 16:50 |
| blazemore | jvalentin: That sounds weird | 16:50 |
| jvalentin | that doesn't seem correct, altho I don't know if it has changed in 12.x | 16:50 |
| blazemore | jvalentin: Try sudo apt-get install --reinstall apache2 | 16:50 |
| blazemore | You probably already did | 16:50 |
| blazemore | I'm running 12.10 on this server right now and I installed apache just fine | 16:51 |
| tiger_eye_ | trism, I would like that comment even more if it had an explanation, likely fix, or references | 16:51 |
| area51 | blazemore should i change lines 12 & 17 from /dev/sda3 to the UUID=22B4AD8CB4AD6351 | 16:51 |
| jvalentin | I didn't do a reinstall, I did a remove and then install again | 16:51 |
| svip | vfw: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1321272/http://paste.ubuntu.com/1321272/ | 16:51 |
| blazemore | area51: Any reference to /dev/sda3 should be replaced with UUID=22B4AD8CB4AD6351 | 16:51 |
| blazemore | jvalentin: Try sudo apt-get --purge remove apache2 | 16:51 |
| blazemore | then reinstall | 16:51 |
| area51 | ok | 16:51 |
| area51 | thx | 16:52 |
| blazemore | (assuming that is the UUID you got from sudo blkid) | 16:52 |
| jvalentin | hmm, tried reinstall and got "E: Invalid Operation apache2" | 16:52 |
| vfw | svip: As you can see, it is playing. Did you run alsamixer? | 16:52 |
| svip | vfw: Yes. | 16:52 |
| jvalentin | purge is in process | 16:53 |
| blazemore | jvalentin: It's apt-get install --reinstall apache2 | 16:53 |
| vfw | svip: It is playing, you are just not hearing anything from the speakers. I dont' know why but that is what is happening. | 16:53 |
| blazemore | not apt-get --reinstall apache2 | 16:53 |
| jvalentin | yes, I'd tried but got the error, but purge worked | 16:53 |
| svip | vfw: o_O wtf. Alsa required side to be unmuted. | 16:54 |
| jvalentin | so, should I run apt-get install apache* | 16:54 |
| MonkeyDust | jvalentin it's apache2 | 16:54 |
| vfw | svip: Look at alsamixer window and see that nothing is muted or turned down. (MM at bottom of a channel means it is mutted and m toggles mute on or off). | 16:54 |
| blazemore | if that's what you want, I'd jsut install apache2 personally | 16:54 |
| area51 | blazemore: one last look pleae? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1321281/ | 16:54 |
| svip | vfw: Well, at least, now it is working. Thanks for the help anyway. I just did not think I needed side or surround as I haven't needed those in the past. | 16:54 |
| area51 | b4 i replace with this last file | 16:55 |
| vfw | svip: move from one channel to another with the right or left arrows. m will toggle muting on or off. | 16:55 |

| jvalentin | ok, did that (just installed apache2), but the /etc/apache2 dir still only has mods-available in it | 16:56 |
| logictheo | Earlier I asked for help about the page at http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201010-6649/ recommending 64-bit. Taking a closer look I reported the issue, so it's not an issue anymore. | 16:56 |
| vfw | svip: When you have no sound, first check to see if it is just muted or turned down. [For future reference.] | 16:56 |
| blazemore | logictheo: By "earlier" you mean 3 minutes ago | 16:56 |
| navalastro | de mierda | 16:56 |
| logictheo | blazemore: Yeah, 3 minutes ago. | 16:56 |
| blazemore | Try asking again in a few hours or tomorrow | 16:56 |
| mN- | Anyone have the problem with 64bit ubuntu that it flashes with a blend of commandlines and ubuntu load screen in thebeginning and doesnt start until u hit ESC | 16:57 |
| logictheo | no, not | 16:57 |
| logictheo | 13 minutes ago | 16:57 |
| L3top | ok | 16:57 |
| blazemore | logictheo: My point still stands. If I don't get an answer I usually wait until a different timezone is awake | 16:57 |
| blazemore | logictheo: It's not really a question so much either. is there a link on the page to report mistakes? | 16:57 |
| logictheo | blazemore: Yes, it said "If there is an issue with the information for this system, please let us know." | 16:58 |
| blazemore | Well do that then | 16:58 |
| mN- | 1. How do I get 120hz with Ubuntu 64bit? 2. Is there anyway to remove mouse acceleration? | 16:58 |
| logictheo | blazemore: I did. That's why I came here to say that I succeeded. | 16:58 |
| blazemore | Congratulations :) | 16:58 |
| jvalentin | blazemore, is the etc/apache2 supposed to have more in it after installing apache2, or am I supposed to create the httpd.conf and sites-available & sites-enabled ? | 16:58 |
| logictheo | ...and that I no longer need help in that regard. | 16:58 |
| blazemore | jvalentin: it's supposed to have sites-available sites-enabled etc | 16:59 |
| wols_ | jvalentin: there should be more in it. had you installed apache2 before? | 16:59 |
| jvalentin | yes, on different machines | 16:59 |
| jvalentin | always worked fine | 16:59 |
| wols_ | no, only important if on this one | 16:59 |
| wols_ | !confmiss | 16:59 |
| jvalentin | even on ubuntu 11x and earlier | 16:59 |

| logictheo | blazemore: Do you know anything about the https://friendly.ubuntu.com/ site? Can I rate there? There are ratings for 1 to 5 stars. | 17:00 |
| jvalentin | so I'm trying to see if there's another method of installing for 12x | 17:00 |

| blazemore | I did use Ubuntu from 6.06 to 10.10 | 17:01 |
| logictheo | blazemore: Hmm, do you use any system that has linux the kernel in it? | 17:01 |
| blazemore | logictheo: I use Debian | 17:02 |
| blazemore | (at work) - and Chakra (based on Arch) at home | 17:02 |
| gnuskool | bazhang: cheers | 17:02 |
| bazhang | logictheo, this is not the channel for polls | 17:02 |
| blazemore | #ubuntu-offtopic I'm happy to continue the discussion | 17:02 |
| logictheo | bazhang: Do you use Ubuntu or do you use Debian too? | 17:02 |
| jvalentin | blazemore, sorry if I implied that I expected that, was merely hoping someone else had similar experience or knowledge of why apt-get isn't installing as expected | 17:02 |
| Debolaz | Meh, I fear its going to require a lot of debugging to figure out why empathy broke in 12.10. :/ | 17:02 |

| blazemore | simion314: sudo apt-get -f install | 17:06 |
| simion314 | blazemore: it fails,see in there | 17:06 |
| blazemore | Oh lol, sorry simion314 I'm so used to saying that... | 17:07 |
| blazemore | simion314: What version od Ubuntu are you running? | 17:07 |
| gnuskool | jvalentin, if all else fails, in cmd line sudo apt-get install lamp-server | 17:07 |
| simion314 | blazemore: 12.04 64bit | 17:07 |
| blazemore | Got it - sudo apt-get remove skype skype-bin | 17:08 |
| blazemore | Then do what you need to do, then work on installing Skype | 17:08 |
| tiger_eye_ | alright, I think I'll do another re-install without RAID. The standard Live CD installation can do full-drive encryption and LVM, right? | 17:08 |
| blazemore | simion314: To install Skype correctly; sudo apt-add-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" | 17:09 |
| simion314 | blazemore: thx | 17:09 |

| FireStorms | Hi, I 'invested' in a 1TB External HDD. The HDD is formatted as NTFS, I'm wondering if it's best to leave it as that or should I format it to ext3; would there be a benefit. I use Ubuntu 10.04 | 17:17 |
| XiaolinDraconis | i have a startconky.sh script that runs just fine when i dbl click it, however i get an internal error when it is set to run at start up | 17:17 |
| MonkeyDust | FireStorms if it's just for file storage, you can safely use ntfs | 17:17 |
| vfw | FireStorms: ext4 | 17:17 |
| blazemore | FireStorms: If you only use Ubuntu, then yes you should format it as ext3 or something similar. However, if you want to be able to plug it into a Windows system and have it work, you'll need NTFS | 17:17 |
| vfw | FireStorms: Are you installing Ubuntu on it? | 17:18 |
| FireStorms | vfw, no just file storage | 17:18 |
| FireStorms | blazemore, very good point, I think I'll leave it as it is then, thanks :) | 17:18 |

| thomedy | you were right about locate being outdated i found the one i wanted | 17:45 |
| cha0s_ | ActioParsnip; I used the page you gave me and installed all of the stuff from it after enabling | 17:45 |
| dr_willis | luingarmcwolf: in /etc/default/grub | 17:45 |

| ActionParsnip | cha0s_: yes but why did I have to get you the link? All I did was search the web and not very well. Why couldn't you do that? | 17:45 |
| HulkHogan | thomedy: alias just makes command line easier to remember, since u said u forget how to use the find command | 17:46 |
| cha0s_ | ActioParsnip because I am outside the police depo on half battery trying to get my security feed that I pulled from the dvr to play so i can show the officers who broke into my home | 17:46 |

| ActionParsnip | LordThumper: Then why install server when you want a desktop OS???? | 18:03 |
| wilee-nilee | LordThumper, What us the release first | 18:04 |
| wilee-nilee | is* | 18:04 |
| dr_willis | asdf__: many ftp clients can do that. or wget can | 18:04 |
| LordThumper | I have a VM of Ubuntu Server | 18:04 |
| LordThumper | And I already have FTP/HTTP servers set up | 18:04 |
| wilee-nilee | LordThumper, Which release of the server | 18:04 |
| ActionParsnip | LordThumper: so why do you need the desktop? | 18:04 |
| asdf__ | dr_willis: Whenver I use wget -r, it never works as I want it to (as I understand it, it traverses all links, rather than the filesystem itself) | 18:04 |
| LordThumper | Just want to install a UI, to I can do some other stuff occasionally | 18:04 |
| LordThumper | Let me get the version | 18:05 |
| asdf__ | dr_willis: Any idea how I can get wget to do what I want? | 18:05 |
| LordThumper | so I can* | 18:05 |
| ActionParsnip | LordThumper: I suggest you add the boot option text so thatit boots to CLI only, for security | 18:05 |
| dr_willis | asdf__: try a gui frontend perhaps.. links as in soft links? or web url links? | 18:05 |
| LordThumper | ActionParsnip, only the file servers are available from outside | 18:06 |
| LordThumper | Shell access should be restricted to local only | 18:06 |
| asdf__ | dr_willis: Not sure exactly, I remember wget -r would always end up downloading a ton more than I wanted, and I looked it up and there was something about it looking for references within the page itself, instead of files within the directory (which is probably why it suggests you specify a depth) | 18:07 |
| VlanY | ActionParsnip: sorry wait a minute: is it possible that 3.5 is develop kernel since the "5" is an odd number? If so, does 12.10 have 3.4 or 3.5 ? | 18:08 |

| === niklasharju is now known as mN- | ||
| Nowaker | osse: /etc/default/* are just templates, and they are used to regenerate real config files. therefore, you need to `update-locale`. | 18:56 |
| unrar | haha | 18:56 |
| L3top | Haris: you can add the location to the top sources.list and update... it will draw from there first... and hash out the cd-rom line if it is there... if I understand you correctly | 18:57 |
| inxtoEugene | funny right? | 18:57 |

| Nowaker | osse: and when it doesn't work, you always have your shell rc where set whatever envvars you want | 18:57 |

| L3top | Haris: it is not the seed file... but you can also do things with the seed files. Again, your mirror must have a Packages file, and in order to grab MOST of its needs from there, it must be first in the list. I am not exactly clear on what youa re doing... however if it is complaining about reading the CD, usually this is because of the cd rom entry in sources.list. How did you setup your mirror? | 19:00 |
| Haris | L3top: I can open a shell in ubuntu installer. But I don't know where the sources.list file is during install | 19:00 |
| L3top | Haris: /etc/apt/sources.list | 19:00 |

There's no jenkins package in the default 10.04 repos. 12.04 does have a package called jenkins in its default repos. It's an older version of jenkins that the one I currently have installed from a third party repo. What will Ubuntu try to do w | 19:13 |

| === arthur_ is now known as ViaNocturna85 | ||

| Bsims | seanh: Odds are it will simply upgrade it | 19:14 |
| ikonia | no it won't | 19:14 |
| ikonia | as it's an older version so the dependencies will be out | 19:14 |
| ikonia | and the chances are the repo that held the newer versions has created conflicting dependencies to meet the newer versionm | 19:14 |

| ubottu | manolos: 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. | 19:49 |

| dr_willis | i have the same setup here. | 20:30 |
| Bsims | I'm thinking its a boot order problem | 20:30 |
| dr_willis | i keep ubuntu and grub on tge ssd | 20:30 |
| wilee-nilee | dr_jesus, I figured that his windows with the bootflag is on the ssd as well, I suspect the sdb windows has all the windows bootfiles as well. | 20:30 |
| Bsims | I ran into that, I fixed it by having windows on a second drive and aiming grub to the second hd | 20:31 |
| dr_willis | many pcs have a ket at boot to get to a hd boot menu these days | 20:31 |
| Bsims | dr_willis: yeah f12 on dells isn't it? | 20:31 |
| dr_willis | del. esc. f8. on my 3 pca | 20:31 |
| wilee-nilee | HP? | 20:32 |
| dr_willis | i always put a sticker near the key when i get a new pc. ;-) | 20:32 |
| dr_willis | netbooks is esc or f1. asus is del. | 20:33 |
| dr_willis | f8 on my hp. | 20:33 |
| lappy | wilee-nilee & Bsims: I'm back. BIOS does have the SSD set to boot before the HDD, so that's not the problem. | 20:35 |
| lappy | Also, not sure if this matters, but the bios has UEFI turned on. | 20:35 |
| qjcuzo | hey | 20:35 |
| Bsims | lappy: Ok... Hrm, try installing grub to the second hd, that way it /has/ to read grub first | 20:36 |
| pepe__ | hi | 20:36 |
| stephan123 | hey quick question. I have a zip file that I need to unzip and keep the directory structure. when I "$unzip file.zip" I get the directorys but not the files in them. | 20:36 |
| qjcuzo | what's everybody doing | 20:36 |
| wilee-nilee | lappy, Ah, UEFI no biggie you just need someone who knows UEFI, I saw them on just a few minutes ago. | 20:36 |
| Bsims | I've not ran into bootloader wars like this before so its just a guess | 20:36 |
| pepe__ | hill all people | 20:36 |
| lappy | Bsims, when you say install grub do you mean reinstall and choose sdb for bootloader installation? | 20:37 |
| Bsims | lappy: correct, though a full reinstall isn't needed, I think the command is grub-install | 20:38 |
| Bsims | http://blog.lokonopa.com/grub-up-windows-7/ | 20:38 |
| lappy | Ok, I'll read the link and give that a try. | 20:39 |
| wilee-nilee | Bsims, This is a UEFI setup are you even familiar with that booting scenario? | 20:39 |
| Bsims | wilee-nilee: ouch didn't see that part | 20:40 |
| wilee-nilee | Bsims, cool, lappy That link is not what you need. | 20:40 |
| lappy | Well darn :/ | 20:40 |
| Bsims | though there is a program called boot-repair will that do it? | 20:40 |
| wilee-nilee | lappy, This channel is not the best for UEFI stuff, make a thread at the ubuntu forums there are more there that know and are on daily looking for this stuff. | 20:41 |
| delac | adwaita theme glitches on 12.10. Gedit has black background under tabs. Any known fix? | 20:41 |
| lappy | wilee-nilee, I'll go do that right now. | 20:41 |
| wilee-nilee | I only know of two users I see on here that can help, that I have seen, | 20:42 |
| lappy | wilee-nilee & Bsims, I appreciate both of you trying to help me. Have a nice day, guys. | 20:42 |
| throwed54 | Have a problem, installed the latest Ubuntu last night, dual boo with win7 From DVDR. The partition allocation wasnt very clear to me, I ended up giving Ubuntu wayyyy too much and not enough for Windows 7. how can I change it? | 20:43 |
| Bsims | throwed54: use gparted to resize the partitions | 20:43 |
| wilee-nilee | throwed54, You can resize the ubuntu with a live cd and use the windows partitioner to expand into any unallocated next to it. | 20:44 |
| throwed54 | gparted? | 20:44 |
| jagginess | anyone here using a bridging device? | 20:44 |
| hipaso | hello | 20:44 |
| Bsims | throwed54: its the program used to resize partitions | 20:45 |
| wilee-nilee | throwed54, Boot the ubuntu live cd open gparted and take a screen shot and imagebin it. | 20:45 |
| throwed54 | sorry I have to wake up first, to do this with a clear mind. just got out of bed | 20:45 |
| * Bsims dccs throwed54 some coffee | 20:46 | |
| wilee-nilee | throwed54, Cool ubuntu has to be unmounted to resize it is all, windows can do it from the running OS. | 20:46 |
| throwed54 | ok how do I do it from windows? | 20:46 |
| throwed54 | since im in windows now | 20:46 |
| hipaso | have a problem with xubuntu 12.10..the machine block...the display stop.. anyone can help me?..thanks | 20:47 |
| wilee-nilee | throwed54, YOu can only resize windows from windows. | 20:47 |
| throwed54 | oh | 20:47 |
| Bsims | wilee-nilee: so ya can't resize windows from ubuntu anymore? | 20:47 |
| wilee-nilee | throwed54, You can but it is advised that in W7 you use its partitioner. | 20:47 |
| delac | throwed54: you need to resize (shrink) the ubuntu partition with the gparted. then you can increase the window partition from windows | 20:48 |
| Bsims | wilee-nilee: Ah kk | 20:48 |
| delac | throwed54: and the ubuntu partition can be only resized when the disk is unmounted. that is why you need to do it from live-cd/usb | 20:49 |
| wilee-nilee | Bsims, Safer is all really, a expand is probably okay but I would not bother the windows partitioner will do it in about 2 seconds, gparted will take a lot longer. | 20:49 |
| Bsims | wilee-nilee: makes sense | 20:50 |
| throwed54 | ok | 20:50 |
| throwed54 | delac: so I need to put the ubuntu cd in a reboot? or I can do it in windows? | 20:50 |
| throwed54 | Sorry guys, I'm not a ver 'advanced' user | 20:51 |
| allanm | I'm looking for a way to upgrade apache to 2.22.2 on ubuntu server 10.04 | 20:51 |
| delac | throwed54: yes, boot to the live-cd. windows partitioner cannot resize ubuntu partitions properly | 20:51 |
| throwed54 | alrighty | 20:51 |
| esmeralda | <esmeralda> Hello | 20:51 |

| FloodBot1 | esmeralda: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 20:52 |
| throwed54 | after I resize what should I do, go into windows and use disk management? | 20:52 |
| [TiZ] | Hi... I've got a weird thing going on with GEdit in Xubuntu 12.10. I can't click & drag to highlight any text. Come to think of it, I can't highlight text in any way at all. Not even shift + arrow keys does anything. What's the problem here? | 20:52 |
| wilee-nilee | throwed54, If you boot the live cd and imagebin a gparted screenshot I will tell you what to do exactly. | 20:52 |
| wilee-nilee | or someone will anyway | 20:52 |
| === Kvakz is now known as Kvaks | ||
| wilee-nilee | throwed54, Yes after resizing ubuntu you would use the disk management in windows to resize it. But ubuntu uses a extended partition it may be wrapped around the ext 4 OS partiton and the swap or just the swap, so seeing exactly what you have will make things much easier to help. | 20:55 |
| esmeralda | HELO | 20:56 |
| d1gital | I always use pubkey authentication for SSH on my server, and suddenly I am not being prompted for a key passphrase, but for a password. Because I don't have a password, I cannot log in. Any idea why it would be prompting for a password rather than using my key? I've tried specifying the key with -i, but with the same result. | 20:56 |
| throwed54 | ok well I dont know how to get gparted or take a screen in ubuntu | 20:56 |
| wilee-nilee | esmeralda, Posting the card will probably get you closer to help. | 20:56 |
| wilee-nilee | throwed54, gparted is on the live cd it is in the dash hit the super key and type in gparted, hit the prtsc key and put that image in a imagebin. | 20:57 |
| throwed54 | alright brb | 20:57 |
| throwed54 | wait, I just boot into ubuntu regularly? | 20:58 |
| throwed54 | (with the DVDR in?) | 20:58 |
| wilee-nilee | esmeralda, In ubuntu run in the terminal lspci and find the card and post it. | 20:59 |

| Ubuntu_love | is there a way to cross/trigger rx tx on a serial header so ubuntu will pick it up and do a function? | 20:59 |

| throwed54 | i'm going to email the pic to myself from ubuntu cause I dont have a good IRC client there yet | 20:59 |
| wilee-nilee | throwed54, NO use a xchat on the live cd lets make this much easier. | 21:00 |
| throwed54 | ok | 21:00 |
| throwed54 | so, i'll put the disk in | 21:01 |
| throwed54 | reboot | 21:01 |
| wilee-nilee | throwed54, Going between two computers will just make the already sketchy communication more difficult. | 21:01 |

| lappy | wilee-nilee: the actual win7 os is installed to sdb. | 21:20 |
| wilee-nilee | lappy, I would use gparted to turn of the boot flag on the sda1, and put it on the sdb partition then run sudo update-grub in ubuntu and see if this does it. | 21:21 |

| throwed | i had to d/l xchat and gparted because I dont know how to get them from the CD , it was a full install cd not the live one I THINK?>?? | 21:23 |

| throwed | ok booting up gparted | 21:24 |
| wilee-nilee | lappy, cool just run the sudo update-grub in ubuntu o rewrite the boot menu. | 21:24 |

| neeley | does anyone need a ubuntu one referal link | 21:33 |
| wilee-nilee | lappy, So grub is seeing this on sda1 /bootmgr /Boot/BCD that is enough to have it bring it up in the menu. It would be safe to remove it I think but I would get more opinions on this, the best way would be to post this script on the UF and have them take a look. | 21:33 |

| ubottu | yeehi: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 21:45 |
| bekks | yeehi: Most likely, they are lost. | 21:45 |
| guntbert | pagan0ne: that sounds complicated - the procedure mentioned under "if the user wants to migrate from a non-encrypted..." seems to cover exactly what you need (if I understood you correctly) | 21:45 |
| evopilot | actually there is a girl involved ;) | 21:46 |
| throwed | wilee-nilee: hello? | 21:46 |
| wilee-nilee | throwed, whats up do you have the new screenshot? | 21:46 |
| throwed | http://i.imgur.com/7Vca3.png | 21:46 |
| wilee-nilee | throwed, So right click the swap sda6 and click unmount we want the key you see next to it in the left lower panel to be gone, and the key next to sda4 gone as well. | 21:47 |
| throwed | wilee: theres no unmount but theres a swap off | 21:49 |
| throwed | oh you meant sda5? | 21:50 |
| wilee-nilee | throwed, That is correct swap off. | 21:50 |
| wilee-nilee | no the sad6 | 21:50 |
| throwed | oh ok | 21:50 |
| wilee-nilee | sda6 | 21:50 |
| throwed | wilee: ok its done | 21:50 |
| wilee-nilee | throwed When you see thise keys next to partitions it means it is mounted | 21:50 |
| throwed | Yes | 21:50 |
| throwed | they're gone | 21:51 |
| wilee-nilee | throwed, Now right click the sda5 partition and resize then in the pop up move the left edge to the right to the size you want ubuntu to be. | 21:51 |
| Dan-E | is it possible to get 12.10 working correctly with GForce 6150 LE | 21:52 |
| wilee-nilee | throwed, After you get the size you want hit the green check in the top panel to run it. | 21:52 |
| throwed | ok im done | 21:53 |
| throwed | guess reboot into windows? | 21:53 |
| curiousx | hi, issomeone is having problems with this repo ?: http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal/Release | 21:53 |
| throwed | sorry, wilee: i'm done | 21:53 |
| wilee-nilee | throwed, No you need to resize the sda4 up aginst the sda5, but click it in the left panel. | 21:53 |
| throwed | how | 21:54 |
| wilee-nilee | throwed, Right click the sda4 in the list and resize and move it from the left as far as it will go, it will be up against the sda5 then, | 21:54 |
| throwed | wilee: do I have to match exactly im guessing? | 21:54 |
| curiousx | i'm downloading from "main server" -. | 21:55 |
| wilee-nilee | throwed, Guesssing when? | 21:55 |
| throwed | the sda4 has to be exactly? | 21:55 |
| wilee-nilee | throwed, THe sda4 is called a extended, the sda5 is inside of it if you look at the partitons on the top you will see two different colors do you see this. | 21:56 |
| unrar | Hey | 21:56 |
| throwed | its taking a long time to shrink, bear with me | 21:56 |
| throwed | *wilee: | 21:56 |
| wilee-nilee | throwed, the sda4 is green and the sda5 is black. | 21:56 |
| throwed | yes | 21:56 |
| wilee-nilee | throwed, yeah the shrink of the sda5 may take awhile don't interrupt it. | 21:57 |
| throwed | ok :) | 21:57 |
| === cellofel1ow is now known as cellofellow | ||
| throwed | so in case you're gone by the time it's done, i just match the sda4, reboot and merge the unallocated in win 7 disk management? | 21:59 |
| === unrar is now known as comecon | ||
| wilee-nilee | throwed, So as I described the sda4 contains the sda5, when the sda5 has shrunk you will just repeat the process on the sda4, only clicking it in the list as the partiotions green outline is hard to click on exactly. you will move the sda4 from the left side all the way to the right it will be up against the sda5 then, this leaves the area between the sda4 and wins as unallocated. | 21:59 |
| throwed | ok | 21:59 |
| wilee-nilee | throwed, I doubt you will forget this it is helpful to know this stuff you will be a pro then. ;) | 22:00 |
| guntbert | throwed: while you wait for the shrinking to finish I want to tell you why it is useful to say a person's nick: many of us a reading several channels and doing other things too - so without the nick we won't notice that you gave an answer at all (ot much later) | 22:00 |
| throwed | guntbert: sorry, I'm so used to Efnet/Undernet chatter | 22:00 |
| guntbert | throwed: no need to be sorry, it is for your own benefit :) | 22:01 |
| throwed | wilee: Do i have to resize the sda4 manually, or just drag it as you said? | 22:01 |
| * throwed is confused ( | 22:02 | |
| throwed | :( | 22:02 |
| krofna | How can I see upgrade history for specific package? | 22:02 |
| lluis | hola | 22:03 |
| delac | throwed: shrink it in the same way you did with sda5 | 22:03 |
| throwed | ok | 22:03 |
| throwed | delac: and then pull them together at the top of the screen? | 22:04 |
| cordoval | is there a way to have a terminal open into a special directory in ubuntu? | 22:04 |

| cordoval | I would like to be able to switch to a predefined directories | 22:04 |
| lloowen | Hello all! I'm trying to upgrade a VPS that has 10.04 to 12.04 with no luck. I'm getting an error about a package that has unmet dependencies when I enter the command 'apt-get install update-manager-core' , then on the last line I get E: Broken packages. I tried 'apt-get install -f' with no luck. Grateful for any help. | 22:04 |
| herpp | right click in the directory | 22:04 |
| herpp | and open terminal here | 22:04 |
| cordoval | the terminal i mean | 22:04 |
| cordoval | no but more quick to reuse the same terminal | 22:04 |
| delac | throwed: yes. the point is to get grey area between the sda2 and sda4/5 | 22:04 |
| cordoval | and jump between folders fast | 22:04 |
| cordoval | like a boss | 22:05 |
| herpp | uh | 22:05 |
| throwed | delac: ok | 22:05 |
| herpp | you can use cd | 22:05 |
| herpp | cd /Desktop | 22:05 |
| herpp | etc | 22:05 |
| cordoval | no | 22:05 |
| cordoval | i have long dirs | 22:05 |

| cordoval | i want to remember they are projects | 22:05 |
| delac | throwed: this grey area is unallocated area, that you can then allocate ot the windows | 22:05 |
| herpp | -_- | 22:05 |
| throwed | delac: yes, thanks | 22:05 |

| lloowen | How can I upgrade 10.04 to 12.04 on a VPS server. I can't install the 'update-manager-core' package to do the upgrade.. | 22:17 |
| gogeta | lloowen: call the adim and ask him to do it | 22:18 |
| throwed | wilee-nilee: you here? | 22:18 |
| wilee-nilee | throwed, Hehe you shrank it from the right to the left no biggie, you now have to right click that sda5 and in the gui mope the whole partition as it is to the right, hehe you know wj=hat righ and left are don't you this is literally left and right. | 22:18 |
| lloowen | gogeta: Thanks for the advice. Surely this can be done without asking the administrator! | 22:18 |
| wilee-nilee | move* | 22:18 |
| gogeta | lloowen: its his server so no | 22:18 |
| pangur | How do I access system administration. I can get to system settings but not the other. I want to check that I have the right nvidia driver. | 22:19 |
| throwed | wilee: i just did it :) | 22:19 |
| gogeta | lloowen: better then the phone call of i crashed it trying to do a remote upgrade | 22:19 |
| lloowen | gogeta: But I have root access! | 22:19 |
| dr_willis | pangur: you could try running the 'nvidia-settings' tool | 22:19 |

| throwed | there | 22:20 |
| throwed | wilee: i did it, resized the other one | 22:20 |

| throwed | wilee : I'll take another screenshot ! :) | 22:21 |
| wilee-nilee | throwed, You resized sda5 yes, but you resized thr right side to the left not the left side of the partition to the right, does this make sense. | 22:21 |
| delac | wilee-nilee: actually, is it even possible to resize partition that has stuff in it so that the stuff would need to move? | 22:21 |
| wilee-nilee | delac, I'm not sure I understand. | 22:22 |
| throwed | wilee-nilee: how does this look? :) http://i.imgur.com/allSC.png | 22:22 |
| gogeta | delac: yea you can resize partations with data on them most of the time without any issue | 22:22 |
| wilee-nilee | throwed that is perfect, but I would only do one partition at a time myself, just to make surer nothing gets messed up. | 22:23 |
| throwed | wilee: so shall I need boot into windows 7? | 22:23 |
| llutz | DDAZZA: tried pgrep -f ? | 22:23 |
| throwed | wilee: merge the unallocated ? :) | 22:23 |
| delac | wilee-nilee: He has the ubuntu installed on the sda5on the left and if he shrinks the partition from left, then the data is going to be either remove d or moved to right too. But is it moved? | 22:23 |
| rafalm | throwed: dont forget to apply the changes | 22:23 |
| wilee-nilee | throwed, YOu need to run what you have by hitting the green check first. | 22:24 |
| gogeta | throwed: yes aculy after you resize and install linux you will need to boot windows to let chkdsk run | 22:24 |
| throwed | wilee: yes I just did | 22:24 |
| delac | wilee-nilee: oh, I gues it is... | 22:24 |
| throwed | gogeta: Gotchya | 22:24 |
| wilee-nilee | delac, Whem ever you resize of move a partition the data is moved. | 22:24 |
| wilee-nilee | when* | 22:24 |
| wilee-nilee | throwed, So lets see another screenie | 22:25 |

| gogeta | The biggest thing E17 brings to the table is universal compositing. This means you can use a composited desktop without any GPU acceleration at all, and use it nicely. We don't rely on software fallback implementations of OpenGL . We literally have a specific software engine that is so fast that some developers spent weeks using it accidentally, not realizing they had software compositing on their setup." | 22:26 |
| wilee-nilee | throwed, I figured as such. Now since you have moved that apartition around so much it may not boot so we can fix that when we get there, this will also be done from the live cd again. | 22:26 |
| gogeta | e17 just jumped way ahed of gnome 3 and unity | 22:27 |

| cordoval | ~ pwd and bam | 22:29 |
| dr_willis | bash has some cd shortcut feature i recall reading about. but never used. | 22:30 |

| cordoval | url? | 22:30 |
| dr_willis | in the bash docs.. | 22:30 |
| cordoval | per directory history is a must | 22:30 |
| cordoval | have | 22:30 |
| dr_willis | sounds like you may be needing to do some scripting and using the prompt features to run a command on each return perhaps. | 22:31 |
| bekks | cordoval: Thats not implemented, in noknown shell. | 22:31 |
| dr_willis | unless theres some other shells with the feature. ive never seen it | 22:31 |

| pangur | OK, I shall think about it dr_willis. I am not sure that I need nvidia drivers anyway as I am not aware of lacking anything through not having them installed. | 22:39 |
| dr_willis | JohnTeddy: if you test the os first so you are on the live cd/desktop. you could mount your home dir. and move things.. but i have a /home/ seperate and never needed to move it. | 22:39 |

| === blazemore is now known as violentacrez | ||
| blackness | dont you use flash-installer+firefox to view youtube? | 22:47 |
| dr_willis | i noticed on 12.10 with my desktop and some players i have to select alsa instead of pulse audio as the sound output or i get staticy sound sometimes.. | 22:48 |
| newbie_to_ubuntu | i used adobe flash player and chrome to try and view youtube | 22:48 |
| blackness | since i went from 12.04 to 12.10 i cant use pulse at all. | 22:48 |
| dr_willis | I try to avoide flash as much as possible ;) | 22:48 |
| newbie_to_ubuntu | i tried un-installing pulse | 22:48 |
| blackness | newbie_to_ubuntu, use firefox. sudo apt-get install firefox and see if that works | 22:48 |
| newbie_to_ubuntu | i'd like to avoid flash too, but google uses it | 22:48 |
| blackness | you cant avoid flash anymore, its too main stream. | 22:48 |
| newbie_to_ubuntu | i have firefox installed let me try it using firefox again | 22:48 |
| dr_willis | newbie_to_ubuntu: with the flash downloaders and flash-replacer extensions most sites i watch flash... but in vlc. ;) | 22:49 |
| newbie_to_ubuntu | dr_willis how to I select also ? | 22:49 |
| === violentacrez is now known as loli | ||
| newbie_to_ubuntu | so the vlc thing? my understanding is that in the US it's not legal | 22:49 |
| dr_willis | each player has its own settings.. i just use vlc. | 22:49 |
| blackness | vlc is legal in the US. | 22:49 |
| blackness | i dont see why a video program is illegal. | 22:49 |
| newbie_to_ubuntu | so vlc is using proprietary codecs and they are infringing on the patents is my understanding | 22:50 |
| dr_willis | patent and legal stupidy cause it to have some restrictions.. not illeaglity... | 22:50 |
| newbie_to_ubuntu | but I could be wrong | 22:50 |
| newbie_to_ubuntu | i'm no expert on the subject but I was researching it for a couple hours today | 22:50 |
| Persillade | hello | 22:51 |
| blackness | i believe its the divx codec that causes this problem. | 22:51 |
| Persillade | would a 2 years old nvidia 440GT would be supported fully by ubuntu ? | 22:51 |
| Ubuntu_love | is there a way to cross/trigger rx tx on a serial header so ubuntu will pick it up and do a function? | 22:51 |
| newbie_to_ubuntu | blackness: that's one of the codecs that is an issue | 22:51 |
| blackness | but then again, i installed it without any notes stating it is illegal. | 22:51 |
| Ubuntu_love | is there a way to cross/trigger rx tx on a serial header so ubuntu will pick it up and do a function? | 22:51 |
| blackness | Persillade, i have a 440. and im on 12.10 | 22:51 |
| dr_willis | Ubuntu_love: tried asking in #hardware if its doable at all? | 22:51 |
| blackness | or i might be on 570. | 22:51 |
| Persillade | do you have 3D support blackness ? | 22:52 |
| newbie_to_ubuntu | so blackness you've been using vlc and it's worked well for you? | 22:52 |
| blackness | Persillade, i dont use/care for 3D so im not sure. | 22:52 |
| blackness | i use VLC for anything video related. | 22:53 |
| Persillade | ok thanks | 22:53 |
| newbie_to_ubuntu | got it | 22:53 |
| blackness | but i tend to convert my .flv to .mp4 before i view mine. | 22:53 |
| newbie_to_ubuntu | so what about the ubuntu-restricted-extras | 22:53 |
| newbie_to_ubuntu | i haven't installed those either | 22:54 |
| blackness | not sure, i havnt installed those. | 22:54 |
| blackness | ill look them up for a second. newbie_to_ubuntu | 22:54 |

| JohnTeddy | e87d70b6ecc351df77045dc1b9642d05 /dev/sr0 | 22:55 |
| blackness | newbie_to_ubuntu, from what i see, only divx is causing issues. but if you convert to any open codec, it wont be illegal imo | 22:55 |
| JohnTeddy | My disc drive doesn't match the iso file (b4191c1d1d6fdf358c154f8bf86b97dd ubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.iso). Did I do something wrong or is this normal? | 22:55 |
| dr_willis | Dan-E: so whatg did you install exactly? xubuntu? lubuntu? | 22:55 |
| blackness | JohnTeddy, your burnt CD MD5 doesnt match the iso? | 22:56 |
| Dan-E | originally? | 22:56 |
| dr_willis | divx is just a variant of mpeg4 i thought.. but codecs can get confuseing. ;) | 22:56 |
| blackness | its not exactly the same, frame compression is different. | 22:56 |
| Dan-E | xubuntu | 22:57 |
| dr_willis | Dan-E: that would give you the xfce desktop by default then. | 22:57 |
| JohnTeddy | blackness: I guess, if I'm doing it right. | 22:58 |
| JohnTeddy | The md5sum that is. | 22:58 |
| wilee-nilee | JohnTeddy, Checking the hash of a cd is done in a specialized way, did you use the md5sum wiki to do this correctly? | 22:58 |
| JohnTeddy | wilee-nilee: no, I've done this in the past and it matches though. | 22:59 |
| wilee-nilee | johnteddy the wiki staes that they will not be the same. | 22:59 |
| JohnTeddy | When I pop the cd into my laptop, Ubuntu installer pops up fine. | 22:59 |
| gogeta | dr_willis: so is h264 xvid abd so on | 22:59 |

| rozmuq | hi. i downloaded window 8 iso file and i have a usb 8gb.. how do i make it bootable so i can install win? | 23:00 |
| xangua | rozmuq: sounds like a windows question | 23:00 |
| dr_willis | gogeta: i always got to go look at the wikipedia pages to rember it all.. | 23:00 |
| gogeta | rozmuq: ask microsoft | 23:00 |
| wilee-nilee | JohnTeddy, I am not sure other then when I looked at the wiki I noticed the specificities of a cd check. | 23:00 |
| gogeta | rozmuq: there is a windows channel on hear | 23:00 |
| dr_willis | rozmuq: #windows may know. you might just need to dd the iso to the flash. | 23:00 |
| miwa | rozmuq: you should be able to pretty much just copy the files from the iso to the usb drive | 23:01 |
| JohnTeddy | wilee-nilee: I think I did the wrong /dev/blah, I am doing it again with /dev/cdrom as the wiki says you linked me to. | 23:01 |
| JohnTeddy | wilee-nilee: Thanks! | 23:01 |
| wilee-nilee | JohnTeddy, YOU can check the cd from a boot to the first gui, and with these instructions from the wiki. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM#Check_the_CD | 23:01 |
| dr_willis | /dev/cdrom is normally a link to /dev/sr0 or sr1 | 23:02 |
| JohnTeddy | dr_willis: I see. | 23:02 |
| JohnTeddy | Whatever then, I'll just assume it's right. | 23:03 |
| JohnTeddy | I think the Ubuntu installer has some internal hash checking it does. | 23:03 |
| JohnTeddy | If it tells me something is wrong I'll re-burn. | 23:03 |
| JohnTeddy | If not, I'll proceed. | 23:03 |
| blackness | JohnTeddy, if the md5 doesn't match, you should slow down the burner and reburn. | 23:03 |
| blackness | i wouldnt try that if it was me JohnTeddy but i recommend to reburn the iso at a slower speed on a different brand cd | 23:04 |
| JohnTeddy | blackness: There is blank space that is changing the hash at the end of the dvd apparently. | 23:04 |
| === StickMan is now known as tehStickMan | ||

| dr_willis | its befor the installer isent it? i forget. been so long. | 23:05 |
| EDinNY | How do I set which servers are on at boot? | 23:05 |
| Jordan_U | JohnTeddy: You'll have to press a key while the "keyboard = accessibility" symbol is on the screen, | 23:05 |

| wilee-nilee | XiaolinDraconis, Yep it is a multi boot usb loader I have mine setup with fat32 and a ton of ISO's on it including W7, it is 16 gigs. | 23:36 |
| Jordan_U | workless: Does "cat $prefix/grub.cfg" spit out what looks like your grub.cfg to the screen? | 23:36 |
| workless | Jordan_U: this is interesting: "attempt to read or write outside hd0" | 23:37 |
| wilee-nilee | XiaolinDraconis, You can also just extract that ISO to the usb with a ntfs if it has a boot flag and it will work. | 23:37 |
| workless | Jordan_U: but tabbing the file works | 23:37 |
| Jordan_U | workless: That explains it then. You have a buggy BIOS which can't properly handle large disks. | 23:38 |
| workless | Jordan_U: then i should install grub with a special flag? | 23:38 |
| workless | Jordan_U: what i wonder is, why i can boot from console without problem by typing the boot process manually? | 23:39 |
| Jordan_U | workless: You can try "grub-install --disk-module=native /dev/sda" to have grub use its own native disk drivers rather than relying on the BIOS, or you can make a separate small /boot/ partition near the beginning of the drive so that everything that needs to be read by the BIOS is guaranteed not to be beyond your BIOS's limit. | 23:39 |
| pepee | does anyone knows if there will be a 3.6.4 kernel for quantal in http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ ? | 23:41 |
| Mulder911 | hello | 23:42 |
| Jordan_U | workless: Because, as shown by boot info script, your kernel and initrd files are stored between 4 and 18 GiB into the drive (partly by chance, partly because they were written during installation, and files tend to be written to the beginning of a filesystem first) whereas your grub.cfg is stored 256 GiB into the drive. | 23:42 |
| pepee | hi Mulder911 | 23:42 |
| OerHeks | pepee no they jumped to 3.7 | 23:42 |
| Jordan_U | workless: So if you had continued to upgrade Ubuntu, eventually newer kernels would have been installed and they probably would have ended up past your BIOS's limit as well. | 23:43 |
| workless | Jordan_U: :) thanks, how can i force the --disk-module=native option for each grub update? | 23:43 |
| pepee | OerHeks, ah, thanks | 23:43 |
| Mulder911 | i need help with ubuntu upgrade | 23:43 |
| pepee | Mulder911, just ask | 23:43 |
| Jordan_U | workless: That's the main downside, there is no good way to do so in Ubuntu :( | 23:43 |
| Mulder911 | after updating i`ve this problem | 23:43 |
| Mulder911 | /proc/88/oom_adj is deprecated, please use /proc/88/oom_score_adj | 23:43 |
| Mulder911 | and it`s stuck | 23:43 |
| joker2u | what is the buffer/ paste to url for ubuntu | 23:44 |
| pepee | joker2u, use paste.ubuntu.com or pastebin.com | 23:45 |
| Mulder911 | /proc/88/oom_adj is deprecated, please use /proc/88/oom_score_adj anyone know how to repair this? | 23:45 |
| pepee | Mulder911, where does that message come from? | 23:46 |
| workless | Jordan_U: :( that may be a problem, it's the 10y old sister laptop! mmhmm i will make a /boot partition to avoid any problem | 23:46 |
| Mulder911 | when system boots | 23:46 |
| wilee-nilee | XiaolinDraconis, You want to just extract to the ntfs usb? | 23:46 |
| Mulder911 | after updating ubuntu | 23:46 |
| workless | Jordan_U: thanks! :) that was _really_ getting me xD | 23:47 |
| XiaolinDraconis | wilee-nilee, im attempting that now but the archive manager is taking forever to do it | 23:47 |
| Jordan_U | workless: You're welcome :) | 23:47 |
| bekks | Mulder911: Which process is running with PID 88 ? | 23:47 |
| wilee-nilee | XiaolinDraconis, Yeah it does, did you mount the ISO? | 23:47 |
| joker2u | pepe explain sir | 23:47 |
| XiaolinDraconis | no but im about to cancel and do it that way | 23:47 |
| === Guest36388 is now known as Guest36389 | ||
| pepee | Mulder911, it doesn't say any other thing? can you read the logs (dmesg or /var/log/syslog )? | 23:48 |
| wilee-nilee | XiaolinDraconis, Right click the ISO then click archive mounter, then exstract with the archive manager. Make sure that the usb has a bootflag though with gparted. | 23:49 |
| workless | Jordan_U: ops xD no device connected, prefix not set | 23:49 |
| Mulder911 | searching 1 sec | 23:49 |
| delac | my 3G usb stick (huawei) sometimes (maybe crashes or something) disconects so that the networkmanager doesnt even see it anymore (lsusb does). However networkmanager cant do anything until the device is physically remounted. Any fixes? | 23:49 |
| joker2u | what is the buffer/ paste to url for ubuntu | 23:50 |
| XiaolinDraconis | wilee-nilee, archive mounter is failing to mount it, well it says its mounted but when i navigate to the directory all that it shows is a blank readme.txt file | 23:50 |
| wilee-nilee | XiaolinDraconis, Do you have the archive manager still open? | 23:50 |
| XiaolinDraconis | wilee-nilee, no | 23:50 |
| MonkeyDust | joker2u what are you trying to do? | 23:50 |
| pepee | Mulder911, do you have any other kernels installed in that machine? try booting one of those | 23:51 |
| Mulder911 | i have | 23:51 |
| Mulder911 | i`m on the old one | 23:51 |
| wilee-nilee | XiaolinDraconis, Hmm if it is mounted then it should show all the files on the ISO in the manager, mine does right now. | 23:51 |
| bekks | Mulder911: So which process is running with PID 88 ? | 23:51 |
| XiaolinDraconis | yeah the archive mounter is acting funny for whatever reason | 23:52 |
| pepee | Mulder911, what kernel is failing to boot? | 23:52 |
| XiaolinDraconis | i thought it was due to the huge filename so i cahnged it, but the mounter still shows it as the long name | 23:52 |
| Mulder911 | new one 3. something | 23:52 |
| === Youri is now known as YBook | ||
| wilee-nilee | XiaolinDraconis, This is mine, but this is also a certified MS ISO, just saying. http://imagebin.org/234109 | 23:53 |

| XiaolinDraconis | wilee-nilee, ive got one of those too, saw it in the ms forums | 23:54 |
| wilee-nilee | XiaolinDraconis, YOU get it from digital river? | 23:54 |
| Mulder911 | i`ll restart system again and check | 23:54 |
| pepee | Mulder911, not needed | 23:55 |
| Mulder911 | i`ll be in a minute | 23:55 |
| Mulder911 | ? | 23:55 |
| XiaolinDraconis | wilee-nilee, dont know what digital river is, i got it from official microsoft forums | 23:55 |
| Linkandzelda | hi, was wondering if anyone could help. ive got a macbook air with windows 7 bootcamp and os x installed. my goal is to replace os x with ubuntu and without touching windows 7 install. can anyone tell me where to begin? thanks | 23:55 |
| XiaolinDraconis | google windows 7 and saw a large list of official iso's free to dl | 23:55 |
| MonkeyDust | !mac > Linkandzelda start here | 23:55 |
| ubottu | Linkandzelda, please see my private message | 23:55 |
| wilee-nilee | XiaolinDraconis, Cool digital river was a MS official link for ISO's at one time and you can still get them there. | 23:56 |
| blackness | Linkandzelda, when booting the ubuntu install, select the OSX partition. | 23:56 |
| blackness | !mac | 23:56 |
| ubottu | For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 23:56 |
| Mulder911 | so? | 23:56 |
| XiaolinDraconis | wilee-nilee, oh ok yeah there was talk about that in the comments | 23:56 |
| wilee-nilee | XiaolinDraconis, How big is the ISO? | 23:56 |
| belias | hi guys.. i need help with icq data recovery :) | 23:56 |
| belias | someone please? | 23:56 |
| Linkandzelda | thanks, let me see what i can do from here | 23:57 |
| pepee | Mulder911, you can open (or paste) /boot/grub/grub.cfg to see what kernels do you have | 23:57 |
| pepee | Mulder911, and old logs are in /var/log/ | 23:57 |
| XiaolinDraconis | wilee-nilee, 2gigs or so | 23:57 |
| blackness | Mulder911, apt-get install pastebinit; cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg | pastebinit | 23:57 |
| pepee | in fact, the logs contain the kernel version | 23:58 |
| Mulder911 | 3.2.6 is the problem | 23:58 |
| Mulder911 | 2.6.32-44 is my present | 23:58 |
| wilee-nilee | XiaolinDraconis, Cool mine is 2.6 a 32 bit with the sp1 on it, I was just checking if it was not just the service pack is all. | 23:58 |
| blackness | Mulder911, are you using 12.04 ? | 23:58 |
| pepee | Mulder911, in a terminal, type: grep -n "oom_adj is deprecated" /var/log/* | 23:59 |
| XiaolinDraconis | wilee-nilee, http://i.imgur.com/LeaiF.png i think these locked files are the trouble makers | 23:59 |
| XiaolinDraconis | wilee-nilee, seems i got some leftovers from another project | 23:59 |
| bekks | Mulder911: Or finally just tell us which process is running as the PID mentioned. | 23:59 |
