| Mulder911 | i wanted to update to 12.04 and after this i reboot the system choose the new kernel | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Mulder911 | ok 1 sec | 00:00 |
| pepee | bekks, was, he said he is not running that kernel | 00:00 |
| MonkeyDust | Mulder911 type ps -e|less <-- which has number 88 ? | 00:00 |
| wilee-nilee | XiaolinDraconis, Is that what is on the usb, you want it clean to start with, no hidden trash with stuff in it either. | 00:00 |
| bekks | pepee: Then how can we investigate what is causing that error...? | 00:01 |
| pepee | I suppose it means, the PID will not necessarily be the same | 00:01 |
| pepee | bekks, reading the logs, it should say what process was this | 00:01 |
| XiaolinDraconis | wilee-nilee, no thats my home directory, but its not the problem as mini.iso loads just fine, i think its not mounting cause its on another partition that is mounted as well | 00:01 |
| pepee | bekks, at least that's what a bit of googling shows | 00:01 |
| Mulder911 | on this kernel i don`t see pid88 | 00:02 |
| pepee | google "/proc/*/oom_adj is deprecated, please use /proc/*/oom_score_adj" | 00:02 |
| wilee-nilee | XiaolinDraconis, Drag it to your desktop and mount it there. | 00:02 |
| pepee | Mulder911, in a terminal, type: grep -n "oom_adj is deprecated" /var/log/* | 00:02 |
| XiaolinDraconis | wilee-nilee, that was my thoughts as well | 00:02 |
| Mulder911 | /var/log/kern.log:751:Oct 31 00:46:10 bt kernel: [ 1.631658] udevd (92): /proc/92/oom_adj is deprecated, please use /proc/92/oom_score_adj instead. | 00:02 |
| XiaolinDraconis | wilee-nilee, that failed as well | 00:03 |
| wilee-nilee | XiaolinDraconis, I always reformat the usb as well each time to be sure it is clean, if I do a load this way. | 00:03 |
| XiaolinDraconis | wilee-nilee, the usb is freshly formatted | 00:04 |
| wilee-nilee | XiaolinDraconis, So what is the actual failure? | 00:04 |
| bekks | Mulder911: So which process is PID 92? | 00:04 |
| XiaolinDraconis | wilee-nilee, the iso wont mount | 00:04 |
| XiaolinDraconis | wilee-nilee, opening it with archive manager and can see the contents from there | 00:05 |
| pepee | Mulder911, in the terminal, type: grep -n "Linux version" /var/log/kern.log | 00:05 |
| pepee | bekks, PID 92 | 00:05 |
| wilee-nilee | XiaolinDraconis, Not even with a right click on it then clicking on open with archive mounter | 00:05 |
| pepee | bekks, PID 92 is udevd | 00:05 |

| XiaolinDraconis | wilee-nilee, thats how ive been trying to do it, atm i have it open in archive manager | 00:06 |
| wilee-nilee | XiaolinDraconis, Do you se all the files? | 00:07 |
| XiaolinDraconis | wilee-nilee, as far as i can tell i do, have had a problem opening any of the folders | 00:08 |
| wilee-nilee | XiaolinDraconis, If you see all the files like I posted, the the exstract should run it just takes a bit to do it I just ran it, about 8-1o min I think. | 00:08 |
| XiaolinDraconis | wilee-nilee, trying it again | 00:08 |
| pepee | Mulder911, try upgrating now and see it if installs a new kernel, I suppose this should solve it | 00:08 |
| Mulder911 | so upgrade one more time | 00:09 |
| pepee | Mulder911, yes. AFAIK 3.2.6 is not the latest kernel in 12.04.1 | 00:09 |
| Mulder911 | ok | 00:09 |
| Mulder911 | i`ll try | 00:09 |
| XiaolinDraconis | wilee-nilee, of course this time it finishes in 40 seconds | 00:09 |
| pepee | sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 00:10 |
| bekks | Which will not upgrade the kernel. | 00:10 |
| pepee | bekks, what's the current kernel in 12.04? | 00:10 |
| Mulder911 | i`m upgrading with kpackagekit | 00:10 |
| bekks | pepee: No 12.04 handy here, maybe you can take alook at packages.ubuntu.com | 00:11 |
| pepee | bekks, why do you say it will not upgrade the kernel? | 00:11 |
| bekks | pepee: Because thats the truth. apt-get will keep back kernel packages. You have to update them explicitely. | 00:12 |
| wilee-nilee | XiaolinDraconis, What I have found with the W7 ISO is that it is locked unless mounted that is probably why, I'm not sure of other ways to mount it, I have been using the usb loader I posted for a coulple of years now and have not had to do it this way. I know it works though has everytime I did in the past. YOu might just install the multisystem loader and use it | 00:12 |
| XiaolinDraconis | wilee-nilee, i hope this works, ive got 2 hours to try and get my girls laptop back to working condition. i thought gparted was still simulating and hit cancel, man was i wrong | 00:13 |
| pepee | bekks, dist-upgrade does that for you | 00:13 |
| bekks | pepee: Yes, and we were talking about apt-get upgrade ;) | 00:14 |
| pepee | but... 3.2.6 is not from the repos, is it? | 00:14 |
| bekks | The 12.04 kernel version is 3.2.0-xyz | 00:14 |
| wilee-nilee | XiaolinDraconis, Hehe not the person to disappoint. ;) | 00:15 |
| bekks | pepee: Nope, it isnt. | 00:15 |
| pepee | bekks, I was talking about upgrade, generically. I always use dist-upgrade, so I don't know much about other package managers | 00:16 |
| XiaolinDraconis | wilee-nilee, yeah specially not after shes been at work most of the day while i get to sit around the house | 00:16 |
| wilee-nilee | XiaolinDraconis, hehe you are in deep dodo now. ;) | 00:16 |
| XiaolinDraconis | wilee-nilee, unless magic happens and the next 2 hours go flawlessly (never in my lifetime) | 00:17 |
| wilee-nilee | XiaolinDraconis, I clone all my installs, you might do this after you are setup with clonezilla. | 00:19 |
| XiaolinDraconis | wilee-nilee, clonezilla is what ruined my windows installation in the first place | 00:19 |
| wilee-nilee | XiaolinDraconis, If I remember you cloned it to a ext4 right? | 00:20 |
| SillyTalker | how can i use a .htaccess for my phpmyadmin directory ? | 00:20 |
| SillyTalker | i tried enabling override all in /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf | 00:20 |
| SillyTalker | didnt help | 00:20 |
| XiaolinDraconis | wilee-nilee, and then did it again (hadnt deleted the original partition yet) on a fresh ntfs partition | 00:21 |
| SillyTalker | i tried a bunch of other stuff which didn't help | 00:21 |
| SillyTalker | and now i kindof gave up and figured i'd ask on IRC | 00:21 |
| XiaolinDraconis | wilee-nilee, which is when i was told to delete the original because it kept booting that instead of the new one | 00:21 |
| Tiffany_Backer | firefox version 16.0.2 always ask for zip code on google shop and ebay how to save my zip ???? | 00:21 |
| XiaolinDraconis | wilee-nilee, only to find out the new one failed to boot cause it wasnt in the same location | 00:22 |
| scatterp | hi i am trying to set up a dhcpd and i have become a little lost i think i have one running but no idea which one it is and no matter what i do the windows box on the other end of the wire seems to get an ip of 192.168.0.20 how can i work out where its getting it from ? | 00:22 |
| wilee-nilee | XiaolinDraconis, I have never had clonezilla fail, but I follow some rules, I have the windows fully defragged to the front of the disc and make sure in general it is good shape by running a chkdsk every so often on it | 00:22 |
| brzJunior | Hi, i need a little hand to help me get back system sound on ubuntu 11.10, can anyone help me? After i tried to install google gadgets, my sound device doesnt work correctly | 00:22 |
| wilee-nilee | XiaolinDraconis, Lots of other cloners though. | 00:23 |
| XiaolinDraconis | wilee-nilee, as far as i know windows checks to make sure the hardware hasnt changed and when it detects a major change it requires re-activation | 00:24 |
| XiaolinDraconis | wilee-nilee, all my old discs ended up getting trashed when i moved | 00:24 |
| WeThePeople | how do i make ubuntu into its own proxy | 00:25 |
| SillyTalker | hi, i use phpmyadmin on ubuntu 12.04, and i want to use a .htaccess in my phpmyadmin dir, but it doesn't seem to work, i set AllowOverride All for the dir in /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf | 00:27 |
| brzJunior | Why i cant access sound configuration on my Ubuntu 11.10?!? | 00:27 |
| wilee-nilee | XiaolinDraconis, That is in system changes if the update reading is really far off I have only seen that one time with a XP setup. I have W7 pro and it has unlimited images that can be made although it will overwrite the last one if saved in the same place. I don't really use windows much, but I keep it squeaky clean with bleachbit and defragging and some other apps to have it in good shape and I have no problem just throwing in a fresh install o | 00:27 |
| wilee-nilee | nce in awhile. | 00:27 |
| XiaolinDraconis | wilee-nilee, right but i was attempting to move it to a new hard drive, ive never been able to do that without having to use the rescue disc afterwards | 00:29 |
| SillyTalker | anyone? | 00:30 |
| === Rooferdave_ is now known as Rooferdave | ||
| XiaolinDraconis | wilee-nilee, im seeing lots of topics online where several people have done it, sadly its not been my luck | 00:32 |
| wilee-nilee | XiaolinDraconis, You will need the recovery if the mbr is not saved, clonezilla saves the mbr, that is why I like it. | 00:33 |
| wilee-nilee | If the mbr has grub there though you will need to reload it if the linux install is not included. | 00:34 |
| XiaolinDraconis | wilee-nilee, it wasnt on the first partition, the mbr was over-written by grub. | 00:34 |
| XiaolinDraconis | wilee-nilee, and somehow i just ran out of space on a 4GB drive, told ya luck isnt in my bag of tricks | 00:38 |
| XiaolinDraconis | wilee-nilee, nautilus tells me i got 1GB left on the drive.... GRRRR | 00:38 |
| wilee-nilee | XiaolinDraconis, Did you show the hidden files and makes sure there was nothing there, if you were finally loading it with the ISO? | 00:40 |
| XiaolinDraconis | wilee-nilee, i was copying files from the extracted directory, one file said something about no space left on the disk, splicing error or something | 00:41 |
| XiaolinDraconis | wilee-nilee, im formating it to fat32 now and gonna try the multiboot tool | 00:42 |
| wilee-nilee | XiaolinDraconis, cool good luck the windows will be in the grub4 choice of the grub menu I believe, you have to look for it | 00:43 |
| Titomen | any idea how to install create ubuntu on sofware raid and LVM | 00:43 |
| SillyTalker | nobody that ever did this? :s | 00:44 |

| SillyTalker | hi, i use phpmyadmin on ubuntu 12.04, and i want to use a .htaccess in my phpmyadmin dir, but it doesn't seem to work, i set AllowOverride All for the dir in /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf | 00:44 |
| SillyTalker | i also tried to change /etc/apache2/sites-available/default | 00:44 |
| SillyTalker | didn't work either | 00:44 |
| SillyTalker | i wasted almost 2 hours on this idiotic little problem | 00:45 |
| Mulder911 | pepee? | 00:45 |
| XiaolinDraconis | wilee-nilee, thanks for the heads up, and more bad luck coming my way, the device didnt show properly in gparted, so i chose to create a new msdos partition table, and its taking a long time | 00:45 |

| ActionParsnip | Mulder911: so you upgraded Lucid to Precise? yes? | 00:52 |

| Elesa | It says that the device "Root filesystem" has only 800 MB free, then it said 500 something, now it says 20,5 kb | 01:14 |
| pepee | Elesa, df -h | 01:14 |
| Elesa | now only 8,0 kb | 01:15 |
| Elesa | ._. | 01:15 |
| pepee | Elesa, could it be temporal files and browsers cache? | 01:15 |
| Elesa | perhaps.. | 01:15 |
| Elesa | I'm going to delete everything in /tmp | 01:15 |
| bekks | Nope. | 01:15 |
| pepee | are you watching videos in youtube? | 01:15 |
| vfw | Gerowen: Thermal grease should be replaced each time the heat sink is taken off and put back on. | 01:15 |
| bekks | Elesa: Please pastebin the output of "df -h" | 01:16 |

| instantp10neer | what are the cpu hardware requirements for 12.10? will a 3800+ 3gb do well? | 01:16 |
| u4and | anyone know anything about ubuntu on arm? got a gs3 i want to install into | 01:17 |
| wastrel | what's 3800+ | 01:17 |
| instantp10neer | amd ahtlon64 | 01:17 |
| u4and | instantp10neer: amd? | 01:18 |
| instantp10neer | 2.0ghz | 01:18 |
| instantp10neer | yes | 01:18 |
| bekks | Elesa: run: sudo apt-get clean and pastebin df -h again please | 01:18 |
| Elesa | Ok. | 01:18 |
| instantp10neer | it is very slow with 1gb and i want to know if a ram upgrade will fix the performance or will it require an alternate cpu? | 01:18 |
| u4and | Athlon 64 X2 3800+ would be fine | 01:18 |
| instantp10neer | for x64? | 01:18 |
| snark | instantp10neer, yes you have more than enough to run 12.10~ | 01:18 |
| vfw | Elesa: It's not your /home partition that is full, it is / | 01:18 |
| instantp10neer | it is very slow at 1gb of ram | 01:19 |
| u4and | well, open a terminal, and type free -m, then paste to pastebin and link us | 01:19 |
| instantp10neer | is that normal? | 01:19 |
| Darm0k | hi | 01:19 |
| Elesa | yeah but I haven't installed any program that heavy besides recordMyDesktop and I had much more space some minutes ago | 01:19 |
| u4and | it could be several things instantp10neer, we need to quantify that | 01:19 |
| Darm0k | darmok and jalad at tanagra | 01:19 |
| vfw | Elesa: So what do you have installed? Its 19G which SHOULD be enough. | 01:19 |
| u4and | recordmydesktop can keep going, and will take up lots of space if it does Elesa | 01:19 |
| === JStoker_ is now known as JStoker | ||
| snark | instantp10neer, only 1GB ram? might be just barely enough do you have swap partition as well? | 01:19 |
| vfw | Elesa: Did you run recordmydesktop as root? | 01:20 |
| u4and | snark, ubuntu runs fine with far less; try 128-256MB | 01:20 |
| Elesa | umm, nope | 01:20 |
| scatterp | can any one help me set up dhcpd ? | 01:20 |
| Elesa | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1322326/ | 01:20 |
| snark | u4and maybe if your not using X :P | 01:20 |
| Darm0k | shaka when the walls fell | 01:21 |
| u4and | heh | 01:21 |
| instantp10neer | no swap | 01:21 |
| vfw | Elspuddy-: cd / ; ls -lS |grep ^d <will show directories sorted by size> | 01:21 |
| u4and | Elesa: sudo du -sch /tmp /var | 01:21 |
| u4and | er spose that worx too | 01:21 |
| ActionParsnip | instantp10neer: you could switch to LXDE and the desktop will use less RAM | 01:21 |
| instantp10neer | i have a 2gb ram upgrade inc | 01:22 |
| instantp10neer | no trouble if the cpu suffices | 01:22 |
| Darm0k | yeah i saw those poor ram dude in TRON | 01:22 |
| Elesa | ^ | 01:22 |
| snark | Elesa, your root partition is completely full ie 100% full according to your patbin info | 01:22 |
| vfw | Elesa: lsb_release -a | 01:22 |
| pepee | Elesa, try removing temporal files from your browsers | 01:22 |
| Elesa | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1322332/ | 01:22 |
| snark | Elesa, your root partition is completely full ie 100% full according to your paste*bin info | 01:22 |
| bekks | pepee: That will not help at all, because / is full, not /home | 01:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Elesa: can you pastebin the output of: uname -a; dpkg -l | grep linux-image | 01:23 |
| pepee | ah yeah bekks , didn't see that | 01:23 |
| Elesa | That's the output of sudo du -sch /tmp /var | 01:23 |
| Elesa | so /tmp is full, must be recordMyDesktop's fault? | 01:23 |
| pepee | Elesa, to pastebin : ps axuf | 01:23 |
| pepee | it will show a large list | 01:23 |
| Rootbrian | Anybody have any success getting cheese to even run? | 01:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Rootbrian: many do | 01:24 |
| Gerowen | Tried doing: apt-get clean ? | 01:24 |
| instantp10neer | Danke Schoen | 01:24 |
| Gerowen | Downloaded debs get held onto a lot of the time. | 01:24 |
| Rootbrian | For me, cheese doesn't run in 12.04 or 12.10. | 01:24 |
| instantp10neer | will c u tomorrow am :) | 01:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Rootbrian: if you run it in terminal, the output will give clues | 01:24 |
| pepee | Rootbrian, are you using kde? | 01:24 |
| Elesa | ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1322337/ | 01:25 |
| Rootbrian | I'm at starbucks, away from my desktop and in here using jmirc. | 01:25 |
| vfw | Elspuddy-: That is quite possible. cd /tmp/ ; ls -lS |grep ^d | 01:25 |
| vfw | Elesa: cd / ; ls -lS |grep ^d <will show directories sorted by size> | 01:25 |
| Rootbrian | It's the standard ubuntu with unity, but I run fluxbox or the 2D gnome panel. | 01:25 |
| Darm0k | save water, shower with your girlfriend | 01:25 |
| Elesa | yeah /tmp is 9GB :c | 01:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Elesa: you may want to reboot to the newer kernel, then remove the other 2 kernels. You will get about 240Mb back | 01:25 |
| vfw | Elesa: cd /tmp/ ; du -s * | sort -n <will list by file sizes, largest last> | 01:26 |
| pepee | Elesa, to pastebin, please : ps axuf | 01:26 |
| Elesa | cd /tmp/ | 01:26 |
| Elesa | oops lol | 01:26 |
| Rootbrian | Once I arrive home, I'll get some pastes going for cheese in both, maybe then the developers can correct it, or canonical can issue a fix to get it working. | 01:26 |
| Elesa | brb | 01:27 |
| Rootbrian | That aside, I'm loving the fact that 12.10 actually works on my ages old compaq evo desktop. | 01:27 |
| krunal | So im having trouble resolving a host name of a different computer. if i ping <hostname> it wont resolve | 01:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Rootbrian: the required hardware isn't very dfferent between releases | 01:28 |
| vfw | krunal: How about it's IP address? | 01:28 |
| Rootbrian | Krunal did you try connecting directly to the cable or dsl modem? | 01:28 |
| ActionParsnip | krunal: can you ping the IP? | 01:28 |
| krunal | vfw, IP address works | 01:28 |
| krunal | just not computer name | 01:28 |
| ActionParsnip | krunal: will the IP ever change? | 01:28 |
| pepee | krunal, checked /etc/resolv.conf ? | 01:28 |
| vfw | krunal: It's an issue with the router. | 01:28 |
| krunal | It's assigned by my router ...not static but it coud change | 01:28 |
| ActionParsnip | krunal: is the system's IP and name in the DHCP clients table? | 01:29 |
| krunal | let me check | 01:29 |
| Rootbrian | It's funny how 12.04 will turn my screen into a colorful blockaide full of pixels when resuming from standby. Instant kernel panic. Haven't tried 12.10 yet and I'm anxious to see if it successfully "resumes" when I get home. | 01:30 |
| krunal | actionparsnip: it does show in my table | 01:30 |
| vfw | krunal: Just use IP addresses | 01:30 |
| Rootbrian | Funny how ip addresses work instead of host names. | 01:31 |
| krunal | vfw, do i have to? | 01:31 |
| krunal | Yeah i know right | 01:31 |
| krunal | windows doesn't have this issue | 01:31 |
| krunal | btw windows 8 blows | 01:32 |
| Rootbrian | Router issues do plague me sometimes. Had to reboot mine twice and then it locked up due to DSL actually being down, cold boot fixed it. | 01:32 |
| Darm0k | rootbrian: thats the lysergic expression of the inner heart from your computer, thats why its so colorful | 01:32 |
| Rootbrian | Hitting that windows key + E will launch explorer, and clear that awful "start" screen menu. | 01:32 |
| snark | lsd yum yum! | 01:32 |
| Rootbrian | DarmOk it's a great wallpaper. I'm going to snap a picture of it next time. | 01:33 |
| Gerowen | For those who suggested checking the RAM, I ran Memtest from the server install disc and after a few minutes I had a bunch of red on the screen, so I've re-seated my RAM and am running the test again. Apparently the issue was bad RAM. | 01:34 |
| Rootbrian | Though I'll need the tripod to ensure it's not blurry to get an amazing 16mp shot of it. | 01:34 |
| Hemebond | If I want to put /tmp into RAM do I use | 01:34 |
| Hemebond | none /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0 | 01:34 |
| Hemebond | or | 01:34 |
| Hemebond | tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777,nosuid 0 0 | 01:34 |
| FloodBot1 | Hemebond: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:34 |
| Hemebond | hai hai, FloodBot1 | 01:34 |
| Darm0k | tmp in ram no | 01:34 |
| Darm0k | that SUCKS! | 01:34 |
| Hemebond | Why? | 01:35 |
| Rootbrian | As if bad ram wasn't bad enough, another of my computers I set up for my parents (xubuntu on it), it has 1.5 GB and it's mismatched with different speeds, but it runs fine. BIOS always complains each time. | 01:35 |
| Darm0k | use graphics mem instead | 01:35 |
| somsip | Hemebond: like this - tmpfs /tmptmpfs defaults,mode=1777,size=2g 0 0 | 01:36 |
| vfw | krunal: I use a DD-WRT routers. I set all of the PCs I need to access to static IPs and with corresponding host names in the router's config. I use host-names that are short and make sense to me. easy-peasy | 01:36 |
| somsip | Hemebond: weird chars are tabs... | 01:36 |
| Hemebond | somsip: Thanks. If the first line no longer accurate? | 01:36 |
| somsip | Hemebond: not sure what you mean? | 01:36 |
| Hemebond | It apparently worked fine, so I'm wondering why the difference. | 01:36 |
| Darm0k | tempfs in mem, thats insane, the system just uses more swap | 01:37 |
| Hemebond | The first line uses filesystem none | 01:37 |
| somsip | Hemebond: no idea. That's what's ion mine and it's fine | 01:37 |
| Hemebond | somsip: Cool, thank you. | 01:37 |
| Hemebond | Darm0k: Why? | 01:37 |
| somsip | Hemebond: np | 01:37 |
| hfb | Anybody good with wirless lan cards? I am having trouble getting mine to connect to WPA2 internet connections.. Im running xubuntu on a IBM ThinkPad T41 | 01:37 |
| XiaolinDraconis | wilee-nilee, ur a genius, that multisystem is pretty powerful | 01:37 |
| Darm0k | use temp on another free disk or clean up disk space | 01:37 |
| Dice-Man | tricks or treats ? | 01:37 |
| pepee | Darm0k, unless you don't have swap mem, and have lots of RAM | 01:37 |
| Darm0k | because you throw away memory | 01:38 |
| wilee-nilee | XiaolinDraconis, It is a keeper for sure. ;) | 01:38 |
| vfw | hfb: What seems to be the trouble? NetworkManager not doing the job? | 01:38 |
| Darm0k | not anyone has 16 or 32gb machines | 01:38 |
| somsip | Darm0k: tmpfs grows to use what it needs. If there is 40MB in /tmp, only 40MB is used. And it depends a lot on how much RAM is in the PC | 01:38 |
| Hemebond | I have 16GiB of RAM. | 01:38 |
| Darm0k | i have 1.21 Jiggawatts of Power | 01:39 |
| Rootbrian | for those of us that has 1GB of ram, that wouldn't work. | 01:39 |
| vfw | hfb: Why don't you start by telling us what wireless card it is? (What does lspci say about it?) | 01:39 |
| somsip | Rootbrian: it isn't a recommendation for everyone | 01:39 |
| pepee | Darm0k, that doesn't translate to RAM | 01:39 |
| pepee | you need to download it | 01:39 |
| Darm0k | pepee: no clue, ask dr doolittle | 01:39 |
| Rootbrian | somsip I know. :) | 01:39 |
| Darm0k | dr doolittle knows much about ram | 01:40 |
| nOStahl | hi all, im on 12.10 and empathy wont save nickserv password. how are you guys fixing that | 01:40 |
| wilee-nilee | nOStahl, By using hexchat | 01:40 |
| hfb | lspci? | 01:40 |
| Rootbrian | Chatzilla is a firefox addon, it saves passwords. I recommend it. | 01:41 |
| vfw | nOStahl: That is an issue between IRC and your Client app. | 01:41 |
| nOStahl | vfw its an ubuntu issue as they chose to package it :) | 01:41 |
| Rootbrian | I believe pidgin works with IRC. | 01:41 |
| nOStahl | that said, ive not had any issues with empathy for the years i've been using it. | 01:41 |
| vfw | nOStahl: If you use irssi, see http://irssi.org/documentation | 01:41 |
| Darm0k | i use xchat, but i don't know why | 01:41 |
| vfw | try irssi | 01:42 |
| Rootbrian | Reasons being, I'm skipping 12.10. The LTS is better suited. ;) | 01:42 |
| nOStahl | bit of a wait for the next lts | 01:42 |
| Rootbrian | I'm fine with waiting. As long as 12.04 is good and I can deal with a non-functioning cheese, I'm cool. | 01:43 |
| nOStahl | cheese works for me on 12.04 | 01:43 |

| jagginess | i'm not trying to be funny.. his computer is pretty old | 01:48 |
| bazhang | lets move on please | 01:48 |
| Rootbrian | it suits my needs. | 01:48 |
| jagginess | Rootbrian, you definitely would bump into problems, what would help is if you have a good video card (but its not worth buying one for that machine) | 01:48 |

| jagginess | Rootbrian, it's not worth upgrading anything on a 12 year old computer.. It's better to buy a new system | 01:55 |
| Rootbrian | Not worth buying another desktop of the same or less specs of mine and including the shipping costs. Yikes. | 01:55 |
| jagginess | ok | 01:55 |
| jagginess | Rootbrian, tigerdirect.com and click buy | 01:56 |
| Rootbrian | I agree. I'm sticking it out until it blows out | 01:56 |
| snark | jagginess, as long as you run linux on it it should be fine | 01:56 |
| Rootbrian | That whole "secure boot" thing on newer windows 7/8 pc's, forget it. It won't work with linux. | 01:56 |
| blackshirt | secure boot / uefi works on linux | 01:57 |
| vfw | hfb: See my PM | 01:57 |
| Rootbrian | Okay, good. | 01:57 |
| jagginess | secure boot is not all enforced, it can be turned off, and linux can install on these new motherboards. nice assumption though, a couple of us are laughing.. linux has been installed on these systems. | 01:57 |
| Rootbrian | Alright. That assured me more. The source and others say it won't work. | 01:58 |
| jagginess | (and btw, canonical has a key for secure boot as well for ubuntu in case you didnt know, thanks canonical) | 01:58 |
| Rootbrian | Oh man, that rocks! | 01:58 |
| jagginess | oh get out Rootbrian.. you're trolling. | 01:58 |
| Rootbrian | But disabling secure boot is a must. | 01:58 |
| Rootbrian | I got this info from the free software foundation. I was only going by what I read. | 01:59 |
| blackshirt | secure boot / uefi works on linux, grub has support them | 01:59 |
| Rootbrian | I guess they need to update their records? | 01:59 |

| VlanX | is 12.04.1 different from 12.04 ? | 02:07 |
| blackshirt | vlanx, different with updates included | 02:08 |

| VlanX | blackshirt: maybe i can just try the 12.10 version too... do you happen to know the major differences between desktop and server? Different packages installed? | 02:10 |
| blackshirt | vlanx, server was not needed gui/desktop to run ... | 02:11 |
| fusk | VlanX, sudo fdisk -l | 02:11 |
| VlanX | oh so it's a major change | 02:11 |

| pcg | I just upgraded to Ubuntu 12.10 from 10.04 (upgraded through upgrade manager) and most things seem alright. The biggest problem though is pidgin now no longer appears in the tasktray, and will completely close when I close the 'buddy list' window. What is going on and how do I fix this? | 02:36 |

| pcg | I do have 'pidgin-libnotify' installed, but I do not know if the plugin is enabled. I do not see it in the plugins list. (I had a similar issue long ago, and this was the fix, so just more troubleshooting information if related) | 02:38 |
| trism | pcg: port to new messaging-menu API in 12.10 isn't complete for pidgin yet | 02:39 |
| pcg | trism: Thanks for the response. Is there a workaround? | 02:39 |
| xangua | pcg:the pidgin libnotify plugin doesn't support the new ondemand feature of the message indicator, but you can add pidgin to the system tray blacklist for it to show the system tray icon; use dconf for that...here is an example http://askubuntu.com/questions/39843/application-indicator-for-shutter | 02:39 |

| xektrum | pcg, also check option "show system tray icon" under preference, if you choose always it should not close when closing buddy list | 02:40 |
| pcg | xektrum, It is set to 'always'. "Should" and reality in software differ. :P | 02:41 |

| xektrum | pcg I've just tested on gnome-shell, if I set never and I close buddy, pidgin closes, but If I set always and I close pidgin, it goes to the tray icon | 02:41 |
| xektrum | however it might be different on unity | 02:42 |
| frankcox777 | anyone willing to help me setup dialup in lubuntu11 | 02:42 |
| pcg | xangua: Thanks for the response. I looked into that askubuntu page and do not have desktop -> unit -> panel in dconf-editor. Possibly related to the fact it is from mid-2011. | 02:42 |
| pcg | desktop -> unity -> panel ** | 02:42 |
| pcg | xektrum: I'm sure this is directly related to unity. | 02:42 |
| xektrum | ahh I see, then disregard my suggestion :) | 02:43 |
| trism | pcg: it is in the dconf-tools package | 02:43 |

| pcg | trism, xangua, xektrum: Thank you for your help. Hopefully you won't see me again after I relog. | 02:48 |
| xangua | pcg: did you add pidgin as "pidgin" with lowercase¿ i've seen skype agg he went | 02:48 |
| frankcox777 | snark -is is a serial modem , a hardware modem that hooks to the serial port and is automatically detected | 02:48 |
| frankcox777 | snark- it dials through a phone line | 02:49 |
| trism | I have mine as 'Pidgin' but I don't know that case matters, should probably check sometime | 02:49 |
| snark | frankcox777, your pastebin says "no dial tone" is the phone line attached to the modem? | 02:50 |
| frankcox777 | snark http://compare.ebay.com/like/360503172554?var=lv<yp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar | 02:50 |
| frankcox777 | snark -yes and the phone line is hot | 02:50 |
| jiohdi | frankcox777, as I recall from the good ole days, there were certain codes you could send the modem to manually make it do things like connect to test it.... should be a list on line | 02:52 |
| somsip | frankcox777: called AT commands (IIRC) | 02:52 |
| jiohdi | thats the ones | 02:52 |
| frankcox777 | snark - the modem is fine- it is a software problem | 02:52 |
| frankcox777 | snark I can connect w/ puppy linux | 02:53 |
| snark | frankcox777, I think somsip is right with the AT command | 02:53 |
| frankcox777 | what is somsip | 02:54 |
| DaemonicApathy | A user in the #ubuntu IRC room. | 02:54 |
| snark | the person in here called somsip! | 02:54 |
| snark | frankcox777, in puppy linux did you have a file called wvdial.conf? | 02:55 |
| frankcox777 | snark -it has the file but puppy is designed for dialup so you configure it likw windows | 02:57 |
| somsip | frankcox777: I was just trying to give you a hint on what to search for if you wanted to delve into testing with AT commands. That's all | 02:57 |
| yourfriendisaac | Will there ever be as many options in Unity as there were in Gnome2 panel? For example a user friendly menu system with add-ons and options? | 02:57 |
| frankcox777 | snark - I appreciate the thought but it is a pain in the rear to use dialup with lubuntu | 02:58 |
| Laice | about compiz: compiz-fusion-plugins-extra was apparently moved to compiz-plugins which is why i was unable to locate it earlier, just an FYI | 02:58 |

| Laice | have used the minicom to spark the device into live and it seems to be returning an output on gpspipe -r | 03:03 |

| frankcox777 | snark -yes but I don't think that will change the fact if goes from modem initialized to no dialtone that quick | 03:04 |
| frankcox777 | There is a permission problem somewhere- I think I will just use puppy on this one | 03:05 |

| Laice | variant* | 03:08 |
| frankcox777 | snark -why? | 03:08 |

| Wug | im lead to believe that if you didnt want to use an init script you'd use cron, but I have never bothered to learn how it works | 03:14 |
| jerkface03 | Wug: Even that's a bit iffy. I just wish there was some interface for it or something | 03:15 |
| Laice | it's curious because i started up gpsd with sudo service gpsd start, and it's running under the user nobody whensurely that would be root? | 03:15 |
| Wug | just copy /etc/init.d/skeleton to something else and play with the variables at the top, which should be sufficient to run a process as root without any special tricks | 03:16 |
| almoxarife | Laice: its not an issue with gpsd then, the device itself, how does it connect to the sys? | 03:16 |
| snark | frankcox777, yes I understand its an AT command problem you can sent AT commands from the command line to the modem | 03:16 |
| snark | frankcox777, yes I understand its an AT command problem you can send* AT commands from the command line to the modem | 03:16 |
| Wug | you then have to register it with whatever the command is | 03:16 |

| wols | lead0r: I very strongly suggest you get the ubuntuizes sources for precise and compile them to a .deb package you can install. that way you can easily uninstall or upgrade it later when a quantal version of the software comes out | 03:42 |
| TheLordOfTime | lead0r, given the version and the upload dates, i'm going to say this hasnt been updated for a while | 03:43 |

| juan_ | Well, I downloaded BackBox Linux, and am familiar with Fedora. I would like to run Ubuntu Software Center, and actually see the shell command lines for the update. | 03:45 |
| juan_ | Like usually I can use yum or rpm to get packages . ..just curious how ubuntu software does it ... | 03:45 |
| MinotaurV | apt-get | 03:46 |
| almoxarife | juan_: system-monitor will give you the names, so will top and htop | 03:46 |
| almoxarife | juan_: you can't mix-match rpm with debs | 03:46 |
| juan_ | you are right, top says software-center . ....got a man page to ...thanks, that works . .. | 03:47 |
| wols | juan_: we don't support anything but ubuntu here. ask backbox people please | 03:47 |
| almoxarife | well, one can alien a deb to rpm, not sure what type of alien will come out though | 03:47 |
| juan_ | hmm ... backbox is based off Ubuntu .... | 03:48 |
| wols | but it is not ubuntu, and hence off topic | 03:48 |
| juan_ | actually asking about the ubunto software center . ..so does that qualify? | 03:48 |
| wols | no. either you run ubuntu, then this is the channel for you, or you don't, then it's not | 03:48 |
| juan_ | but its cool, I get it. | 03:49 |
| wols | ubuntu can't and doesn't know how backbox changed their software | 03:49 |
| almoxarife | wols: i don't know about that, i run what i run, i ask questions pertaining to ubuntu here | 03:49 |
| juan_ | kinda what I was thinking, basic linux . ... | 03:50 |
| wols | almoxarife: you might not know but it's the channel policy | 03:50 |
| wols | no derivatives or other linux distros supported | 03:50 |
| juan_ | i'll make sure all my questions revolve around ubuntu . ..no biggie . ... | 03:51 |
| almoxarife | wols: i am sure the policy is to stick to questions about ubuntu, i doubt it says ' not running ubuntu? , not the place for you' , i will leave it at that, its offtopic too :) | 03:52 |
| TheLordOfTime | wols, the only derivatives supported in this channel are Xubuntu, Kubuntu, and Lubuntu, as well, since those're official derivatives. sometimes people ask for help with those here instead of the respective normal channels for those derivs. | 03:52 |
| wols | TheLordOfTime: ok, if you call them derivatives | 03:52 |

| Marius80 | hi | 04:20 |
| wols | this is a channel for Ubuntu only, a Linux distribution. get support for Windows in ##windows | 04:20 |
| Marius80 | please tell me, why the first command works, but the second gives an error | 04:20 |
| Marius80 | iwconfig wlan0 key 12ABC45678 | 04:20 |
| Marius80 | ^ everything okay | 04:20 |
| Marius80 | but: | 04:20 |
| Marius80 | root@linux:/# iwconfig wlan0 key foo1D4ta | 04:21 |
| Marius80 | Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) : | 04:21 |
| Marius80 | invalid argument "foo1D4ta". | 04:21 |
| polp | wols: same problem with ubuntu 12.10 but work fine with ubuntu 10.04 (gnome 2) | 04:21 |
| wols | Marius80: the first one uses Hex numbers only (0-9, A-F), the 2nd one is a string | 04:21 |
| Marius80 | hum | 04:21 |
| wols | polp: gnome has nothing to do with bootloaders. and the error message would be different too than you wrote before | 04:22 |
| Marius80 | wols, well, my password is a sting | 04:22 |
| Marius80 | string | 04:22 |
| Marius80 | what shell I do then? | 04:22 |
| Marius80 | convert it to hex? | 04:22 |
| polp | wols: ok ! can't install win 7 and ubuntu 12,0X due to hardware dependencies and MBR | 04:23 |
| blanco | 21/m here. cam2cam? | 04:23 |
| wols | Marius80: use s:foo1D4ta see man iwconfig for details | 04:23 |
| Marius80 | blanco, bad joke? | 04:23 |
| Marius80 | wols, I tried s: before, same error | 04:24 |
| wols | polp: more info needed. about the ubuntu install only | 04:24 |
| Marius80 | root@linux:/# iwconfig wlan0 key s:foo1D4ta | 04:24 |

| polp | wols: i'm not sure but when i boot ubuntu using Live USB , it work fine but when i go for installing it gave me an error that ' please clear your DVD /CD drive lens or check your h/w update .But while installing window 7 it gave me an MBR error 'can't found where am i ' | 04:27 |

| wols | silv3r_m00n: nothing will happen | 04:29 |
| kaushal | Hi | 04:29 |
| Marius80 | wols, sorry, I don't want to disturb you, but did you see me answer? | 04:29 |
| kaushal | Can someone please comment on https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2012-November/265008.html | 04:29 |
| silv3r_m00n | wols: yeah its just started downloading packages | 04:29 |
| wols | Marius80: I did. | 04:30 |
| Marius80 | wols: so what am I doing wrong? | 04:30 |
| wols | Marius80: isn't iwconfig doing WEP only? | 04:30 |
| silv3r_m00n | wols: thanks, did it | 04:30 |
| Marius80 | wols, good argument | 04:31 |
| Marius80 | isn't there any way to connect using the command line? | 04:31 |
| wols | arguments are not followed by a question mark. this is a question | 04:31 |
| wols | you can simply edit /etc/network/interfaces and it will do it all automatically. it's what I generally use. not very good when you have many different APs to connect to however | 04:32 |
| wajeemba | hey all, trying to reinstall grub using this guide: http://www.av8n.com/computer/htm/grub-reinstall.htm Getting to the part where I run "update-grub" and I get the following error: /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of /cow. | 04:32 |
| wujie | HI | 04:33 |
| wujie | excuse me | 04:33 |
| Marius80 | wols, I am just google'ing to find out how | 04:33 |
| Marius80 | will tell you the result soon | 04:33 |
| wols | Marius80: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-linux-wpa-wpa2-wireless-wifi-networking/ for example | 04:34 |
| wajeemba | wujie, just ask. people will answer if they know :) | 04:34 |
| wols | wajeemba: chroot to your ubuntu installation instead | 04:34 |
| wujie | ok,thank | 04:34 |
| Marius80 | wols, done | 04:35 |
| Marius80 | wols, how can I tell my pc to connect now? | 04:35 |
| Marius80 | it's been set to "auto" | 04:35 |
| JaySee | is there any way to install a version of ia32-libs that isn't broken? | 04:35 |
| Marius80 | do I need to restart? | 04:35 |
| wols | Marius80: ifup <interface> for example | 04:35 |
| Marius80 | oh, like on debian... | 04:36 |
| wujie | What do you know Deepin linux? | 04:36 |
| wols | Marius80: it's exactly like debian for a good reason: ubuntu got it all from debian :P | 04:36 |
| Marius80 | wols, it's doing something weired | 04:36 |
| wols | wujie: we only know ubuntu linux, nothing else. for deepin linux you must ask elsewhere | 04:36 |
| Marius80 | wols, http://pastebin.com/a4Ca2FCN | 04:37 |
| wujie | The os is on ubuntu , | 04:37 |
| wols | wujie: no it's not. It's based on ubuntu but not ubuntu | 04:37 |
| Marius80 | wols, I need to update the paste | 04:37 |
| Marius80 | one moment please | 04:38 |
| JaySee | is there any way to install a version of ia32-libs that isn't broken? | 04:38 |
| wols | nothing weird. check if you are authenticated (syslog should have it) | 04:38 |
| wols | JaySee: ask a sensible question | 04:38 |
| wols | !errors | JaySee | 04:38 |
| ubottu | JaySee: If you have problems or errors, you will need to describe/paste them. Please use the !pastebin for errors that cannot be quoted in a single IRC message | 04:38 |
| wajeemba | wols, ok, that would be "mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/ubuntu ; chroot /mnt/ubuntu"? | 04:38 |
| Marius80 | wols, now it's finished: http://pastebin.com/TB1exFCe | 04:38 |
| OerHeks | JaySee, since 11.10 ubuntu 64 bit is multi-arch | 04:39 |
| wols | wajeemba: yes, for update-grub that should suffice | 04:39 |
| YIFU | deepin, china,i has been use it | 04:39 |
| wols | oh no. os-prober needs /dev and /proc too. need to bind mount them before chrooting | 04:39 |
| wajeemba | wols: "error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?)." | 04:40 |
| wols | wajeemba: yes, bind mount /dev first, /proc too probably | 04:40 |
| FISH_SOUP | hi, i have just installed ubuntu-server but i am unable to perform any root command due to "username is not in the sudoers list" | 04:41 |
| FISH_SOUP | what's the default password for root ? | 04:41 |
| wols | there is none | 04:41 |
| crimsonmane | FISH_SOUP: type "su" and press enter | 04:41 |
| wajeemba | wols: after "bind mount /dev ; bind mount /proc" I get the same error. This is a new install, so I'm curious as to why grub failed.. I think I did tell it to install to a small /dev/sda1 partition in the wizard, so that could be my problem.. | 04:42 |
| FISH_SOUP | type su and press enter, it gives me authentication error | 04:42 |
| wols | wajeemba: did you type "bind mount /dev" as a command? | 04:42 |
| wajeemba | yes, in a root shell | 04:43 |
| FISH_SOUP | it asked me for a password when doing so, but if its not given then how do i know whats the password? | 04:43 |
| wols | wajeemba: that obviously is not a valid command... | 04:43 |
| FISH_SOUP | during installation, they ask you to provide a username and password | 04:43 |
| FISH_SOUP | other than that, nothing else | 04:44 |
| FISH_SOUP | so how do i install stuff if i cant even get down to root | 04:44 |
| wols | !root | 04:44 |
| wajeemba | wols: ok, I guess I don't know what you mean by bind then yet. I'm not quite a *nix noob anymore, but definitely not on sysadmin level.. xD | 04:44 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 04:44 |
| wols | wajeemba: mount -bind | 04:44 |
| FISH_SOUP | wols, yes i understand | 04:44 |
| FISH_SOUP | but i cant sudo! | 04:44 |
| wols | FISH_SOUP: if your sudoers file is fubar, then something bad happened on install. I suggest you use a live cd and fix it | 04:45 |
| FISH_SOUP | it keeps giving me <username is not in the sudoers list> | 04:45 |
| FISH_SOUP | if i am not even in the sudoers list, how can i do what you asked | 04:45 |
| wols | FISH_SOUP: live cd | 04:45 |
| crimsonmane | FISH_SOUP: reboot the computer, hold shift while it boots until you reach the grub menu. select Recovery. when you reach the prompt type without quote marks "passwd <newpasswordhere>" and that changes the root password so you can enter "su" | 04:45 |
| HulkHogan | sudo visudo | 04:45 |
| FISH_SOUP | yeah, bad install..even when clicking next all the way, it can "result" in bad install? | 04:45 |
| FISH_SOUP | reboot: needs to be root | 04:46 |
| FISH_SOUP | lol | 04:46 |
| HulkHogan | try run | 04:47 |
| HulkHogan | sudo visudo | 04:47 |
| HulkHogan | then add ur self | 04:47 |
| wols | FISH_SOUP: are you in a ssh shell? | 04:47 |
| FISH_SOUP | yes | 04:47 |
| FISH_SOUP | i am | 04:47 |
| wols | then I guess you are fscked | 04:47 |
| crimsonmane | lol | 04:47 |
| FISH_SOUP | more like ubuntu screwed up for not b eing able to install properly | 04:47 |
| crimsonmane | FISH_SOUP: get off your butt, go to the computer, and reboot it like a pro | 04:48 |
| crimsonmane | FISH_SOUP: reboot the computer, hold shift while it boots until you reach the grub menu. select Recovery. when you reach the prompt type without quote marks "passwd <newpasswordhere>" and that changes the root password so you can enter "su" | 04:48 |
| wajeemba | wols: so "mount --bind /dev /dev"? | 04:48 |
| Marius80 | wols, sorry, please help me with that wifi stuff | 04:49 |
| wols | wajeemba: no. mount --bind /dev <chroot path>/dev | 04:49 |
| Marius80 | wols, I really don't get it to work out for me | 04:49 |
| wajeemba | wols: from within chroot? | 04:49 |
| FISH_SOUP | so much for VMWare "Easy Install" | 04:49 |
| wols | wajeemba: no. before you chroot. pointless doing it inside | 04:49 |

| wols | Marius80: what did syslog or dmesg say? | 04:50 |
| OerHeks | FISH_SOUP, "clicking next all the way " isn't the way to setup a server. | 04:51 |
| FISH_SOUP | OerHeks, well, they didnt ask for any other information except username and password | 04:52 |
| FISH_SOUP | what else can i do other than clicking next to continue? | 04:52 |
| * rypervenche facepalms. | 04:52 | |
| wajeemba | wols: also needed to bind boot and sys, but it says it worked :D | 04:53 |
| FISH_SOUP | i blame this issue on VMWare "Easy Install" | 04:53 |
| FISH_SOUP | doing it manually now | 04:53 |
| cryptic | ugh, looks like apt-get upgrade screwed up booting | 04:54 |
| wajeemba | wols: is there any way check before I reboot? or do I just bite the bullet and come back to live cd if it fails.. | 04:54 |
| Marius80 | wols, http://pastebin.com/bX2NijWH | 04:56 |
| wols | wajeemba: only thing you can do | 04:56 |
| FISH_SOUP | lets hope this manual install goes well too | 04:56 |
| wajeemba | wols: well, here I go. Will be back if it didn't work xD Thx for the crash course in chroot, that'll be handy :D | 04:56 |
| wols | Marius80: line 9 and 10. why do you use ndiswrapper inside a VM? | 04:57 |
| wols | oh. msiread. no VM it seems | 04:58 |
| FISH_SOUP | hmm, isnt it weird why they asked you to select if you would like to install LAMP Server when obviously you are already installing Linux? | 04:59 |
| FISH_SOUP | unless you want it to install another Linux on top on Ubuntu | 04:59 |
| Marius80 | wols, it's not a virtual machine, but virtual box is running as a guest on this host | 05:00 |
| Marius80 | wols, but virtual box does not deal with that issue | 05:00 |
| OerHeks | FISH_SOUP, maybe you want only ssh & ftp. | 05:01 |
| wols | Marius80: what wlan chip is it? | 05:02 |
| wols | FISH_SOUP: no it's not weird. LAMP in this case means the packages for apache, php and mysql | 05:02 |
| Marius80 | realtek | 05:02 |
| guang_ | I run command "ctags -R *" in the dir "/usr/include/gtk-2.0/gtk",but it still can not make a reference for some function | 05:02 |
| Marius80 | wols, ndiswrapper gives the driver | 05:02 |

| wols | Marius80: what ubuntu version do you have? | 05:10 |
| brandtone | i upgraded to 12.10 ubuntu and now every time i boot, or shutdown i have a terminal window showing all processes shutting down, etc. i'm very new, but when i use netstat it shows all connections as "stream" with multiple ports in use, etc. on shutdown there are many scripts that seem strange, albeit i am a noob, but i don't know if this is normal behavior with the upgrade/patches, or ? never did this before going to 12.10 | 05:10 |
| wols | Marius80: cause linux supports this chip since kernel 3.0 with the "rtlwifi" driver | 05:10 |
| Marius80 | wols, you got my version as private message | 05:11 |
| wols | Marius80: and you can't run a supported ubuntu why? | 05:12 |
| Marius80 | wols, because trinity desktop still has a bug | 05:12 |
| Marius80 | I am wainting for the new version, then I will upgrade | 05:12 |
| wols | what bug? | 05:13 |
| wols | and what trinity desktop? you said it's a toshiba satellite | 05:13 |
| Marius80 | trinity desktop is the old KDE 3 | 05:14 |
| Marius80 | its beeing developed now as "trinity desktop" | 05:14 |
| === user is now known as rootbrian | ||
| wols | trinity happens to be a current AMD cpu too | 05:14 |

| Marius80 | wols, thank you so far | 05:18 |
| almoxarife | rootbrian: use vlc | 05:18 |
| rootbrian | almoxarife: cheese was mainly used to verify if the webcam I was using, actually worked with linux. But cheese doesn't start anymore since 12.04 LTS. | 05:19 |

| rootbrian | Filed a bug with cheese, but searched before filing a duplicate one, had I not done the search. I added the terminal dump to it via the comments. Hopefully they do fix it, and canonical does the right thing come their next 'feature' release. :) | 05:37 |
| brandtone | since updating to 12.10 my boot and shutdown shows the processes which nvr happened before. i am new to linux/ubuntu/deb and not sure what to make out of them or why it just started showing all processes. some seem odd to me so i used netstat, which showed multiple ports as "stream" and from places i have no idea from. is this normal with the new release? | 05:43 |
| Seven_Six_Two | I've inserted an SD to my laptop, and it automounts. mount command at terminal says rw, but nautilus says ro when I try to delete a file. what's up with that? | 05:45 |
| rootbrian | Getting the webcam working in vlc player shouldn't be that hard, it's not working for me. :S | 05:46 |
| deitarion | Seven_Six_Two: What does it say about the permissions and file ownership in the preferences dialog for the file? | 05:46 |
| aum__ | hello everyone, i trying to write a startup script in that i want that the sound should be in its maximum state. please suggest how can i do so... | 05:47 |
| deitarion | aum__: Add a line involving "amixer" to your /etc/rc.local | 05:47 |
| Seven_Six_Two | deitarion, owned by my user, read and write | 05:47 |
| Seven_Six_Two | my group has read-only | 05:47 |
| deitarion | Seven_Six_Two: Hmm. That IS strange. What filesystem is the card formatted with? | 05:48 |
| brandtone | here is the relevant URL, i think, to my question http://paste.ubuntu.com/1322659/ | 05:48 |
| Seven_Six_Two | I tried changing group to rw, and it pops up saying read only filesystem. I unmounted it and scanned it. fs clean | 05:48 |
| Seven_Six_Two | deitarion, vfat | 05:48 |
| Seven_Six_Two | deitarion, it's the sd card for my book reader | 05:48 |
| deitarion | Seven_Six_Two: I think I know what the problem is, then. | 05:49 |
| deitarion | aum__: This is probably the line you want to add to /etc/rc.local --> "amixer set Master 100%" | 05:49 |
| Seven_Six_Two | deitarion, I'm all ears! Well, my ears are at any rate | 05:50 |
| deitarion | Seven_Six_Two: I've noticed that, for whatever insane reason, the FAT32 filesystems that SD cards come with tend to get corrupted. I've never lost any data, but it does cause Linux to force read-only behaviour for my own safety. | 05:50 |
| aum__ | deitarion, what i guess, amixer is hardware dependent, the name Master changes from board to board. | 05:51 |
| deitarion | aum__: Then run "amixer scontrols" to find the names your card uses. | 05:51 |
| Seven_Six_Two | deitarion, are you suggesting that I reformat it? | 05:51 |
| rootbrian | Seven_Six_Two: i'm suggesting the same thing. | 05:52 |
| deitarion | Seven_Six_Two: Yeah. I've found that, if I copy all the data off, reformat using the Linux formatter, and then move it back on, it generally stays un-corrupted after that. | 05:52 |
| aum__ | deitarion, should i choose the first one int that list... | 05:52 |
| Haris | Hello all | 05:53 |
| Seven_Six_Two | deitarion, alright. I'll give it a go. I lost my copy of "Flow my Tears the Policeman said" | 05:53 |
| Haris | ubuntu auto install is not picking up network source for install | 05:53 |
| Haris | please help | 05:53 |
| deitarion | Seven_Six_Two: From the command-line (which I always use), the command is mkfs.vfat or mkdosfs (same command). | 05:53 |
| Haris | it asks for cdrom | 05:53 |
| deitarion | aum__: Pastebin the list of options it gives you. | 05:53 |
| rootbrian | Haris: I suggest downloading the CD or DVD image, burn it, then boot from it and proceed to installing from there. | 05:54 |
| Haris | I need to install this via network | 05:54 |
| Haris | I am remotely connected to the box | 05:54 |
| rootbrian | Haris: Or you could use unetbootin to extract everything to a USB stick/thumb/flash drive or memory card. | 05:54 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Haris, are you using oob connection? | 05:55 |
| Haris | oob ? | 05:55 |
| rootbrian | I think he means out of band | 05:55 |
| deitarion | Haris: He's asking how you are remotely connected. | 05:55 |
| Haris | via kvm | 05:55 |
| Haris | over internet | 05:55 |
| Haris | I can boot the box from network, the install starts | 05:56 |
| Haris | but it doesn't pick up the network source for installing ubuntu | 05:56 |
| rootbrian | Do you have complete access privileges? | 05:56 |
| Haris | it goes for local install, I think | 05:56 |
| Haris | yes, I do | 05:56 |
| deitarion | Haris: What installer are you using? | 05:56 |
| Seven_Six_Two | you're doing pxb? | 05:56 |
| rootbrian | Maybe the network source isn't mounted? | 05:56 |
| Haris | box1 (where I need to install ubuntu 11.1.0) <-LAN -> PXE/cobbler box | 05:57 |
| Haris | box1 <-internet / kvm -> my PC | 05:57 |
| rootbrian | Are you in the same building/area/room/floor as the box? | 05:57 |
| Seven_Six_Two | aah...ok, now I get it. what is your network src? internet? your own archive? | 05:57 |
| Haris | the pxe box has the ubuntu files extracted from iso and placed in a folder accessible over http:// | 05:58 |
| Haris | my own archive | 05:58 |
| aum__ | deitarion, my question is should i choose first one in that list every time ... http://paste.ubuntu.com/1322693/ | 05:58 |
| Haris | I have it placed at http://192.168.1.29/cblr/ubuntu/ | 05:58 |
| deitarion | Haris: I don't think that's how you're supposed to do it. | 05:58 |
| aln | HI | 05:58 |
| Athquiz | anyone know how I can get the ia32-libs on a 64 bit system? | 05:58 |
| Haris | deitarion: Please elaborate | 05:59 |
| vooze | Athquiz: sudo apt-get install libjpeg62:i386 | 05:59 |
| Haris | should it be ftp rather than http ? | 05:59 |
| Seven_Six_Two | is that path a list of debs? | 05:59 |
| Seven_Six_Two | is there a list of debs at that path? | 05:59 |
| Haris | that's the path to the folder where the ubuntu 11.10 iso is extracted | 05:59 |
| Haris | I think the debs list is at | 06:00 |
| rootbrian | Haris: I would suggest, if you have physical access to it at some point, install it from the CD or DVD. | 06:00 |
| Haris | rootbrian: hold please | 06:00 |
| deitarion | Haris: Generally, in the name of being foolproof, installers tend to actually check whether the CD/DVD source is really a CD/DVD drive. I do know that you can install Debian-based distros from network sources, but the official steps to setting up your own mirror probably result in a slightly different filesystem. | 06:00 |
| Seven_Six_Two | ok, if you're going to use an iso, mount it loopback and use it as a cd source, not network. | 06:00 |
| Athquiz | vooze: unable to locate package | 06:00 |
| Haris | http://192.168.1.29/cobbler/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/binary-amd64/ | 06:00 |
| aln | I recently buy a D-Link wireless modem router. I can cannect with it in bridge mode. But in PPPOE mode i can't connect. | 06:00 |
| deitarion | s/filesystem/filesystem layout/ | 06:00 |
| Haris | this folder contains Packages.gz | 06:01 |
| Athquiz | I'm just trying to get wine running, but I'm getting all kinds of missing dependencies | 06:01 |
| vooze | Athquiz: hmm, weird.. worked for me :/ | 06:01 |
| vooze | Athquiz: what version are you using? | 06:01 |
| Athquiz | 12.10 | 06:01 |
| Athquiz | 64 bit | 06:01 |
| deitarion | aum__: I don't have enough experience to say conclusively. I thought every device I've ever seen or heard of had "Master" as a standard control name. | 06:01 |
| Haris | deitarion: that'd be pretty odd if debian couldn't be installed over network. | 06:02 |
| vooze | Athquiz: did you copy exactly what I wrote? | 06:02 |
| aln | Anyone can help me? | 06:02 |
| rootbrian | aln: Is the modem/router configured for DHCP? | 06:02 |
| Athquiz | vooze: yeah | 06:02 |
| Athquiz | copy paste | 06:02 |
| Haris | where's the debs packages in the ubuntu 11.10-server iso ? | 06:02 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Haris, it can, I'm just not sure an extracted install cd is the same thing as an apt archive | 06:02 |
| aum__ | deitarion, thanks , i have seen such name other than master :( | 06:02 |
| deitarion | Haris: It can. My point is that the layout of the files in /mnt/cdrom0 will probably be subtly different from http://www.example.com/working_debian_mirror/ | 06:02 |
| the_dark_knight | hey, I want one my process to be up an running all the time. even after a fail/abort i want it to restart. I am using upstart approach. Can somebody give me a sample code to say run a sample.py file like this. please. I have been trying to get it working but I don't understand a lot of this. http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/ | 06:02 |
| vooze | Athquiz: then I dont know sorry :/ just double checked.. it works here | 06:03 |
| Haris | ah I see | 06:03 |
| Haris | I can perform a network install from a mirror present over the internet as well, such as uk.archive.ubuntu.com ? | 06:03 |
| Haris | I do also have => box1 <- LAN -> NAT gw <- Internet | 06:04 |
| jinglan | hi,guys | 06:04 |
| deitarion | Haris: Last I checked, yeah. I don't remember how Ubuntu's recent changes affect things but I know older Ubuntu and current Debian both support minimal installers where everything except the installer itself is pulled from the Ubuntu/Debian servers. | 06:04 |
| rootbrian | aln: Is that wireless modem-router connected to a ADSL or DSL modem? | 06:04 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Haris, you can, yes. I've used the business card cd and pulled the rest from internet | 06:05 |
| the_dark_knight | when I create a upstart conf like http://www.bpaste.net/raw/XYsVmW0oavXHPS8VCzdM/ does this mean that sample.sh will always be up and running? please somebody help me with upstart! I am lost | 06:06 |
| aeon-ltd | the_dark_knight: what's in sample.sh? | 06:07 |
| the_dark_knight | aeon-ltd: maybe "cd /home/foo/ python sample.py" or some other command like "sleep 2" | 06:09 |
| aln | rootbrian: I think it is DHCP. see this please: http://up.download.ir/di-V9D3.png | 06:09 |
| ninjaaron | eh, If I was banned from the Ubuntu forums, am I banned here as well or what? | 06:09 |
| aeon-ltd | the_dark_knight: you could just test this, by running it then checking with top | 06:10 |
| wajeemba | wols: didn't work. I've got partitions left over from everywhere, so I'm just gonna clean wipe and install OS's again.. | 06:10 |
| Seven_Six_Two | awesome. all this trouble because of poor epub formatting, and then the filesystem bailed and I lost the file. I found another copy on the internet, and the formatting is perfect. 2 hour waste of time. | 06:11 |
| wajeemba | Is there any big no-no to setting up my entire hard drive under a logical partition. I seem to enjoy creating ~8-10 partitions to play around with.. | 06:11 |
| Haris | installing from CD is the last resort for me | 06:11 |
| Haris | the good option for me is network install | 06:12 |
| the_dark_knight | aeon-ltd: ok. hold on. after putting this sample.conf in $HOME/.init do I need to restart something? | 06:12 |
| the_dark_knight | aeon-ltd: or should I directly put it in /etc/init/ | 06:12 |
| Seven_Six_Two | wajeemba, the partition with your kernel has to be primary, iirc | 06:13 |
| aeon-ltd | i've no idea on how upstart works, but try in your home first | 06:13 |
| aln | rootbrian: phone line in connected to the modem directly. | 06:13 |
| Seven_Six_Two | wajeemba, the rest of the partitions you can do what you like. | 06:13 |
| deitarion | Seven_Six_Two: Are you sure? I thought, as long as GRUB was installed into the master MBR rather than the partition MBR, that requirement didn't apply. | 06:13 |
| Seven_Six_Two | deitarion, no, I'm not 100% sure. | 06:14 |
| wajeemba | Seven_Six_Two: hmm, ok. I'm assuming if that's the case, windows probably wouldn't like it either.. | 06:14 |
| deitarion | I'm pretty sure Windows needs to boot from a primary partition. | 06:14 |
| rootbrian | aln: Did you configure the PPPoE settings correctly from within the modem itself? | 06:14 |
| andrewx | Anyone handy with Bash have a minute /msg me, thanks :) | 06:15 |
| wajeemba | Other question I have: should I be creating a separate partition for /boot, since I'm planning on triple booting Ubuntu/Win8/Arch | 06:15 |
| deitarion | wajeemba: Separate partition for /boot isn't really that useful anymore since most distros either put the recovery shell in initrd or give you a /boot that can't run on its own. | 06:16 |
| Seven_Six_Two | wajeemba, you don't have to. | 06:16 |
| keshav | nautious ?? | 06:17 |
| keshav | nautilus ? | 06:17 |
| wajeemba | Seven_Six_Two, deitarion, yeah, seems like every distro wants it's own boot folder.. so my followup question is, where will the final resting place of grub be if I don't create a separate partition? | 06:17 |
| keshav | how to update grub help me plz | 06:18 |
| Haris | is the netboot iso different from the normal server iso for ubuntu ? | 06:18 |
| aln | rootbrian: In Windows it is working correctly | 06:19 |
| deitarion | wajeemba: You'll have the GRUB loader stub in the MBR and it'll reference whichever /boot installed it. | 06:19 |
| keshav | hello any indian here? | 06:19 |
| === atrius is now known as atrius_away | ||
| rootbrian | aln: I guess the manufacturer didn't intend it to work with Linux. I suggest getting a refund and going about the ADSL/DSL modem and router individually if possible, like i'm doing. It's less trouble. | 06:20 |
| wajeemba | deitarion: ok, I figured there must be a reference in the mbr. that will live within the first 512 bytes of the hard drive, and I won't have to worry about trying to save space for it in gparted? (seems to want to save 1MB by default) | 06:20 |
| rootbrian | aln: i'm thinking bridge is the only way it'll work. | 06:21 |
| Jordan_U | aln: Why do you want to connect via PPPoE? | 06:21 |
| deitarion | wajeemba: Give it the 1MB. It's one measly megabyte and it probably knows better than you do. | 06:22 |
| Seven_Six_Two | aln, are there settings in the device for vci/vpi | 06:22 |
| aln | Jordan_U: To share internet via my laptop or cellphone. | 06:22 |
| wajeemba | deitarion: oh, I fully plan on it. I'm just trying to connect my new knowledge to what I've seen going on previously. :) | 06:23 |
| aln | Seven_Six_Two: yes | 06:23 |
| Seven_Six_Two | did you verify that they are correct for your isp | 06:23 |
| Jordan_U | aln: By "via" do you mean "to"? | 06:23 |
| wols | wajeemba: will you run windows too? | 06:23 |
| wajeemba | wols: yes, win8 | 06:24 |
| wols | wajeemba: if you run windows, make the windows partition primary. all the others can be extended partitions: linux doesn't care | 06:24 |
| aln | Jordan_U: "with". Sorry for my English. | 06:24 |
| deitarion | wajeemba: It should live within the boot sector. I believe the 1MiB left free is to compensate for idiosyncrasies in some OS/bootloader/hardware combination I'm not familiar with. | 06:24 |
| wols | wajeemba: install windows first. leave space for ubuntu and arch, then install them | 06:24 |
| The_BROS | How to move sent mails from thunderbird to Gmail sent folder? | 06:25 |
| wajeemba | wols: yeah, that's what I was planning for order. :) | 06:25 |
| Jordan_U | aln: Is it correct to say that you want to browse the internet on your cellphone, using the DSL modem to conenct rather than the cell's data plan? | 06:25 |
| wajeemba | wols: is it only possible to have 1 extended partition? | 06:26 |
| rootbrian | aln: If you intend to tether to your cellular phone, you'll need either a USB bluetooth dongle or the smartphone's Mobile Hotspot functionality and likely, a tethering or data option enabled. | 06:26 |
| wols | wajeemba: pretty much but with as many partitions inside as you want more or less | 06:27 |
| Jordan_U | wajeemba: No, but it rarely makes sense to have more than one. | 06:27 |
| === matthew is now known as Guest61994 | ||
| wols | technically you could create 4 extended partitions i guess. but silly to do so | 06:27 |
| Seven_Six_Two | extended is container for logical | 06:27 |
| wajeemba | that's funny, because gparted doesn't look like it wants to make more than 1.. Don't think I'll need more than one tho, it would be more of a hassle to manage more.. | 06:28 |
| Seven_Six_Two | no, I think you can have only 1 | 06:28 |
| the_dark_knight | aeon-ltd: still no luck. please help me out here | 06:28 |
| Seven_Six_Two | <waves hand jedi-like> | 06:28 |
| aln | Jordan_U: Yes. I want to use internet in laptop and smartphone simultaneously. | 06:29 |
| Jordan_U | Seven_Six_Two: Any of your primary partition slots (even all of them) can be used as extended partitions. It just doesn't make much sense to do so as you lose flexibility and gain nothing. | 06:29 |
| === matthew_ is now known as Guest28778 | ||
| stuart_ | Does Ubuntu support desktop which you can interact with? Like have a box inside my desktop be a terminal | 06:31 |
| deitarion | stuart_: Could you rephrase that? I get the impression I'm misunderstanding what you're asking. | 06:32 |
| deitarion | Oh, wait. I see now. | 06:32 |
| stuart_ | Like my desktop is just a picture, can programs like they are a part of my desktop | 06:33 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Jordan_U, wikipedia entry on mbr disagrees. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning#PC_partition_types | 06:33 |
| deitarion | stuart_: Yeah. There are basically two ways you can do something like that. | 06:33 |
| rootbrian | aln: you'll likely have to use one or the other. | 06:33 |
| Jordan_U | Seven_Six_Two: I stand corrected then. Thanks. | 06:33 |
| deitarion | stuart_: The first (and most common) way is to set up a terminal which runs on login, has no borders, and is set to always stay below other windows and not appear in the taskbar. | 06:33 |
| rootbrian | aln: Under my impression, Mobile Hotspot works with up to five devices. Bluetooth, only one. | 06:34 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Jordan_U, np. I just learned that too | 06:34 |
| deitarion | stuart_: The second is to replace the program which draws the desktop with something else. (That's usually used for visual tricks like using a movie or a screensaver as your desktop wallpaper) | 06:34 |
| stuart_ | deitarion: for the second one, what could I google to learn more about it? | 06:34 |
| deitarion | stuart_: Look into running applications in the root window. | 06:35 |
| aln | rootbrian: Thanks a lot for your help | 06:35 |
| deitarion | stuart_: Give me a sec and I'll give you an example. | 06:35 |
| deitarion | stuart_: Also, what desktop are you running? | 06:35 |
| aln | Jordan_U: Thanks:) | 06:35 |
| aln | Seven_Six_Two: Thanks:) | 06:35 |
| stuart_ | deitarion, gnome 3 | 06:35 |
| sasuke | hi guys :) | 06:35 |
| deitarion | stuart_: Then you can't use the root window trick. Anything with a fancy, modern desktop handler draws the desktop as a big window covering the root window. | 06:36 |
| deitarion | (You can run stuff in the root window, but it'll be hidden by the desktop which covers it and can't be hijacked in that manner) | 06:36 |
| deitarion | However, there may be plugins for GNOME 3 to achieve a similar effect. | 06:37 |
| sasuke | suddenly my mouse is stop working, is there any service or cmd to enable mouse again | 06:37 |
| stuart_ | deitarion, what desktop did you have in mind? unity? | 06:37 |
| deitarion | sasuke: Did you try unplugging and replugging it? | 06:37 |
| Jordan_U | rootbrian: aln is *not* trying to teather. | 06:37 |
| sasuke | deitarion, its laptop mouse . i am not using any external one | 06:37 |
| deitarion | stuart_: Actually, I was thinking of something more like LXDE or Xfce where the panels and the desktop are drawn by separate programs and you can turn off the one that draws your desktop and drop in your own. | 06:38 |
| deitarion | sasuke: Ugh. I generally avoid laptops. Do you know enough keyboard shortcuts to run "xev" so we can see if it's still seeing your mouse clicks? | 06:38 |
| Jordan_U | aln: What you're trying to do, have multiple devices accessing the internet from the same router, is how routers come configured by default and should work perfectly fine. You do *not* want PPPoE or bridged mode though, as those both allow only one device to connect at a time (though I will admit I'm not very familiar with "bridged mode" and may be wrong there). | 06:39 |
| stuart_ | deitarion, ok thanks, I will try and see if i can get gnome to do it | 06:40 |
| deitarion | Jordan_U: Bridged mode is for when you want to use your own router rather than the one built into the DSL/Cable modem. | 06:40 |
| deitarion | Jordan_U: Whether you can connect more than one PC in bridged mode without using your own router depends on whether you've bought extra public IP addresses from your ISP. | 06:40 |
| sasuke | deitarion, ya some shortcuts i know. now i am only using my keyboard. i want to restart mouse drives. i know there is some cmd, but i am not sure... so i need help :) | 06:41 |
| deitarion | sasuke: One thing you could try is using Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get to the system console and then Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get back into the GUI. That'll probably cause your X server to reset its drivers at least somewhat. (If Ctrl+Alt+F7 doesn't work, try other F keys since, on rare occasions, the X server ends up on a virtual console other than #7) | 06:42 |
| afidegnum | hello, pls can anyone assist me? I am having an 400 Bad Request Request Header Or Cookie Too Large error on my config | 06:44 |
| Jordan_U | deitarion: Ahh, that makes sense. Still, that does not seem to be what aln should be trying to use, and nor does PPPoE (considering that the modem and router are combined). I'm pretty sure that aln just wants the standard configuration of a home wireless access point and router using NAT and having the router itself handle the DSL connection (since the router and modem are on the same device). | 06:44 |
| Jordan_U | deitarion: We just need to figure out how to walk them through achieving that with their device :) | 06:44 |
| deitarion | Jordan_U: That depends on his ISP and how he's using PPPoE. I know my router+modem needs PPPoE configured because that's how my ISP talks to it. | 06:44 |
| rootbrian | aln: sorry if I got lost/got you lost. Just plugging the computer into the modem-router via the ethernet cable will work fine. | 06:45 |
| sasuke | deitarion, i got the answer from askubuntu.com, here is the command "sudo modprobe psmouse" . It works for me. Thanks for the info. have a nice day :) | 06:45 |
| wajeemba | for flexibility, I'm thinking of leaving a little unpartitioned space in the middle of my hard drive. That way I can give it to an operating system partition or my storage partition later just by a simple partition expansion. Is anything strange going to happen if I format this relatively massive extra space as swap ~20GB | 06:46 |
| deitarion | wajeemba: Can't help you there. I've never used that much swap space because I've got four hard drives and I split my swap space across them so I can configure load balancing and have out-of-memory thrashing a little more bearable when one of my dev builds starts leaking memory. | 06:48 |
| wajeemba | I mean, I figure why not mark it open if it's otherwise going to be unallocated.. | 06:49 |
| wols | wajeemba: will be fine | 06:49 |
| wols | but you can't use unpartitioned space as swapspace | 06:50 |
| deitarion | wols: I believe he's asking whether there's any problem with making a 20GiB swap partition and then, at some point in the future, retiring it and re-partitioning. | 06:50 |
| wols | < wajeemba> for flexibility, I'm thinking of leaving a little unpartitioned space in the middle of my hard drive | 06:50 |
| deitarion | wols: Yes, that's the intent of the space, but I might phrase it that way too. | 06:51 |
| wajeemba | wols: right, I'd format it as swap, and then toss it later and make a smaller one to the side if I want more space on the neighboring partitions. Mostly just asking what's going to happen if I have a 20GiB swap file with daily use | 06:51 |
| deitarion | wols: Your interpretation is akin to insisting that nobody has more than 100MiB of RAM free on any Linux box because opportunistic disk caching means the memory isn't free in the strictest sense. | 06:52 |
| wols | deitarion: please stop | 06:52 |
| deitarion | wols: Already done. | 06:52 |
| aln | Jordan_U: Sorry. Please see this:http://www.techlineinfo.com/configuration-guide-of-adsl-wifi-modem-d-link-dsl-2730-u-for-bsnl-and-mtnl/ | 06:53 |
| aln | Jordan_U: PPPoE mode is essential to share the internet connection with multiple PCs, Laptops, Smart phones etc. | 06:54 |
| deitarion | wajeemba: Well, I can tell you that nothing out of the ordinary happened with 6 to 8 GiB of swap space in multiple 2GiB partitions. | 06:54 |
| deitarion | aln, Jordan_U: That looks right. Basically, in PPPoE mode, the device handles authenticating with your ISP. In bridged mode, it just translates DSL to ethernet so you can plug another router in down the line and let that second one do the PPPoE. | 06:55 |
| wajeemba | deitarion: I mean, if 20GB of swap gets written to during a normal session, that's fine. The space will fill up. It's really not going to affect the number of disk writes, It'll just spread them out over the 20 gb instead of a smaller space.. | 06:56 |
| deitarion | wajeemba: ...yes? What was your question then? | 06:56 |
| wajeemba | deitation: just needed to say it out loud to think it thru I guess. didn't want to be causing more disk writes and speeding the failure of the disk.. | 06:57 |
| aln | deitarion: Can you explain more? | 06:58 |
| deitarion | wajeemba: Ahh. Yeah, as long as it's a spinning platter disk, no harm. If it's an SSD, putting any swap on it is bad. | 06:58 |
| deitarion | aln: With DSL, you need to log into your ISP using a username and password. It used to be that the DSL modem was a separate device which you plugged your router into. | 06:58 |
| kristenbb_ | hi, how to install my graphic card driver? | 06:59 |
| deitarion | aln: Now that they're on the same circuit board, there needs to be a way to turn the router part of the device off so you can use your own router if you have a better one. That's what bridged mode does. | 06:59 |
| kristenbb_ | hello? | 07:01 |
| wajeemba | deitarion: good stuff. Off to install the windows I guess.. | 07:01 |
| deitarion | aln: Basically, if you're not sure, want PPPoE mode 9 times out of 10. | 07:02 |
| deitarion | s/want/you want/ | 07:02 |
| deitarion | aln: Think of "bridged mode" as the on-switch for a certain type of after-market add-on. | 07:03 |
| aln | deitarion: Is this only one solution? Are there any another solution? | 07:04 |
| kristenbb_ | can someone please confirm that you're reading me? | 07:04 |
| faux | i see you | 07:04 |
| deitarion | kristenbb_: We tend to ignore random "hello?" lines while we wait for people to actually ask their question. | 07:04 |
| kristenbb_ | deitarion: the question was right above, was it not printed on the irc server? | 07:05 |
| deitarion | aln: That question gives me the impression that you are really out of your depth. What, exactly, are you trying to do? | 07:05 |
| deitarion | kristenbb_: Oh, sorry. I didn't notice it. | 07:05 |
| === |_ocke2 is now known as |_ocke | ||
| deitarion | kristenbb_: You asked your question poorly. Give as much detail as possible in the initial question. At the very least, is it an ATi, nVidia, or Intel onboard graphics card or do you need help determining that? | 07:06 |
| * wajeemba leaves a tip | 07:07 | |
| kristenbb_ | I actually think I managed to make it work, by using a software called 'additional drivers'. It asks me to restart | 07:07 |
| kristenbb_ | i'll be back | 07:07 |
| deitarion | aln: (I know you probably explained what you were trying to do, but I was very distracted at the time and it's awkward for me to check that far into a busy backlog with my current client) | 07:08 |
| jagginess | maybe john connor told him to say that | 07:08 |
| rootbrian | aln: if it's a wireless modem router, why don't you connect via wifi instead and let DHCP take care of it all? | 07:11 |
| rootbrian | aln: Press and hold the reset button until it reboots, release. this will reset it to the defaults, then enter the PPPoE information your internet service provider gave you, then apply the settings. Next, connect to it via wifi. That's all you need to do. | 07:12 |
| the_dark_knight | hi, I have one very important porblem related to upstart. My sample.conf and sample.sh are here http://www.bpaste.net/raw/chfJp8rB37ci5HKgbymF/. when i do sudo initctl emit sample, it hangs my computer. I have to restart it manually. please help. am i doing it right? | 07:12 |
| aln | rootbrian: With my desktop computer? | 07:12 |
| faux | reboot | 07:13 |
| faux | sorry, console in other window >.> | 07:13 |
| kristenbb | it's still me. it's actually worse than before. I now can't even log in, after the system boots, I get a window saying 'tthe system is running in low graphics mode. your screen, graphics card, and input device settings, could not be detected correctly, you need to configure them yourself'. what should i do ? | 07:13 |
| fitgist | is there a copy command that gives MB/sec and progress bars in a shell? | 07:13 |
| rootbrian | aln: connect the desktop computer's Ethernet cable to either port numbered 1, 2, 3 or 4. | 07:14 |
| wols | kristenbb: what videocard do you have? | 07:15 |
| rootbrian | aln: also, before you do that, reset anything you changed via Edit Connections, or where you made the changes. | 07:15 |
| the_dark_knight | hi, I have one very important porblem related to upstart. My sample.conf and sample.sh are here http://www.bpaste.net/raw/chfJp8rB37ci5HKgbymF/. when i do sudo initctl emit sample, it hangs my computer. I have to restart it manually. please help. am i doing it right? | 07:15 |
| kristenbb | wols: nvidia | 07:15 |
| wols | kristenbb: be more precise | 07:16 |
| kristenbb | wols: nvidia gtx 680 | 07:16 |
| aln | rootbrian: Thanks a lot for your attention and for your help. | 07:16 |
| aln | rootbrian: :) | 07:16 |
| rootbrian | aln: your welcome. | 07:16 |
| rootbrian | aln: I was a newbie at one time. ;) | 07:16 |
| aln | rootbrian: :) | 07:16 |
| deitarion | rootbrian, aln: And my apologies for complicating things. I didn't think before I jumped in on the topic of PPPoE mode vs bridged mode. | 07:17 |
| deitarion | (I saw the one detail I did know and forgot to check the backlog to catch up on the rest of them) | 07:17 |
| wols | kristenbb: pastebin your Xorg.0.log | 07:17 |
| kristenbb | wols: how do you mean, I can't even log in. what should I do ? | 07:17 |
| aln | deitarion: Thanks:) | 07:17 |
| rootbrian | deitarion: no problem. I often get confused and mixed up. | 07:18 |
| jagginess | deitarion, you need to still use a script for the gui? | 07:18 |
| the_dark_knight | hey guys please help me on this. upstart | 07:19 |
| rootbrian | kristenbb: continue to run in low graphics mode, uninstall the nvidia drivers. | 07:19 |
| jagginess | the_dark_knight, there's a wiki and ubuntu help about upstart | 07:19 |
| deitarion | jagginess: Context, please? | 07:19 |
| jagginess | deitarion, something about 'composite' | 07:19 |
| jagginess | deitarion, a little while back.. | 07:19 |
| rootbrian | kristenbb: Which NVIDIA driver are you using? The open source or the proprietary? | 07:19 |
| === kgs is now known as Guest5049 | ||
| deitarion | jagginess: Oh, yeah. I've got this script I wrote which is sort of like DxDiag for Linux (it gathers debugging information to be attached to bug reports for games and other multimedia applications) and it doesn't yet check whether there's desktop compositing in effect. | 07:20 |
| jagginess | opensource == nv , proprietary == "nvidia" | 07:20 |
| deitarion | jagginess: Actually, opensource == "nv" or "nouveau" | 07:20 |
| kristenbb | rootbrian: I just tried installing the proprietary with the software called 'additional drivers' | 07:20 |
| jagginess | deitarion, um.. what are you trying to accomplish doing with the composite detail? | 07:20 |
| jagginess | deitarion, there's gui app helpers, like aRandr, and there's cli commands like xrandr, xdpyinfo | 07:21 |
| kristenbb | rootbrian: but I can't get to low graphics mode, all I got was tty1, a console with no desktop | 07:21 |
| rootbrian | kristenbb: I suggest disabling the proprietary and going with the open source ones. | 07:21 |
| rootbrian | kristenbb: startx | 07:21 |
| rootbrian | kristenbb: type startx, hit enter. | 07:22 |
| kristenbb | rootbrian: it shows a blank screen | 07:22 |
| kristenbb | rootbrian: no unity | 07:22 |
| wols | kristenbb: ctrl+alt+f1 and you can log in | 07:22 |
| deitarion | jagginess: I'm already gathering output from xrandr and xdpyinfo (among others) but I couldn't see anything that says whether there's a compositor active. | 07:22 |
| deitarion | jagginess: Here's the script in question: https://gist.github.com/3759156 | 07:22 |
| kristenbb | wols: i am logged in, but still no desktop | 07:22 |
| === Guest5049 is now known as kgs | ||
| wols | kristenbb: when you are logged in you can pastebin the log file I requested. please do | 07:23 |
| rootbrian | kristenbb: if you logged in via the terminal where you're at, type startx and is there anything showing? | 07:23 |
| jagginess | deitarion, oh yeah.. one of the glxinfo commands can probably shoot out what you're looking for, try apropos glx | 07:23 |
| rootbrian | kristenbb: also, follow wols's directions | 07:23 |
| kristenbb | rootbrian: yes there is, just a blank sscreen | 07:24 |
| kristenbb | rootbrian: I mean, I can see the desktop, but no unity | 07:24 |
| kristenbb | wols: how can I pastebin without a desktop environment | 07:24 |
| jagginess | deitarion, but there's already gui apps that show this.. just a couple of apt-cache searches... | 07:24 |
| rootbrian | okay, press alt-f2 and then type in unity | 07:24 |
| deitarion | jagginess: I have no clue what to apt-cache search. I know there are apps like fusion-icon which show which WM is active, but I have yet to see one which checks whether compositing is enabled. | 07:25 |
| rootbrian | kristenbb: Alt-F2. Type in unity, hit enter. | 07:25 |
| kristenbb | rootbrian: alt f2 doesn't do anything | 07:25 |
| deitarion | (For example, KWin from KDE 4 can be toggled between composited like Compiz or un-composited like Openbox with a simple keypress) | 07:25 |
| rootbrian | kristenbb: Press ctrl-alt-f7 and see if anything shows | 07:25 |
| kristenbb | rootbrian: yes, some random text | 07:26 |
| kristenbb | rootbrian: the last line is 'mountall: Disconnected from Plymouth [OK]' | 07:26 |
| rootbrian | kristenbb: Since we cannot see what's on the screen, I am going to suggest doing a reinstall. | 07:26 |
| kristenbb | rootbrian: a reinstall of what? | 07:27 |
| wols | !pastebin | 07:27 |

| rootbrian | kristenbb: This is out of my reach. Sorry. | 07:28 |
| kristenbb | wols: which file do you want me to give you again? and where is it? | 07:29 |
| deitarion | jagginess: As far as things like xrandr, xdpyinfo, and glxinfo go, I'll probably have to just log into KDE 4, run `(xrandr -q -v ; xdpyinfo -queryExtensions -ext all; glxinfo -t -v -l) 2>&1 1>log.txt`, toggle compositing, log them again, and diff the logs to see if anything reliable shows up. | 07:29 |
| kristenbb | wols: I can't see anything starting with xorg or Xorg in my home. | 07:29 |
| wols | kristenbb: /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 07:30 |
| jagginess | deitarion, there's arandrd or a<>randr that is a gui app .. i don't know if it shows other things | 07:30 |
| deitarion | jagginess: Probably not. I get the impression the XRANDR extension doesn't know or care about compositing | 07:31 |
| jagginess | deitarion, but ehm.. maybe you should ask in #xorg, they can point you to better resouces | 07:31 |
| deitarion | jagginess: Point. I'll try that if nothing shows up in the brute-force diffing of of the command outputs between KWin's composited and un-composited modes. | 07:32 |
| rommel092079 | hello I am terribly new ubuntu i would like to ask how to install and or update software with ubuntu using commandline | 07:32 |
| deitarion | rommel092079: `sudo apt-get install name-of-package` or `sudo apt-get upgrade` | 07:32 |
| jagginess | deitarion, but it's kinda pointless what you're doing because people should not or don't ever toggle their live window managers.. | 07:33 |
| vivid | rommel092079, and 'sudo apt-get update' to update the package cache | 07:33 |
| deitarion | jagginess: I think you misunderstand somehow. The reason I'm toggling is because it minimizes the number of things that differ between "with compositing" and "without compositing". | 07:33 |
| wastrel | what are we toggling | 07:34 |
| deitarion | wastrel: I'm trying to find a WM-agnostic way to detect compositing and I'll be testing by using KDE 4, where you can turn compositing on and off with a single keyboard shortcut. | 07:34 |
| jagginess | deitarion, but either the window manager should be set to it or not.. i think it's not very well supported for the libraries to allow toggling to be securely done without having windows cropped up | 07:35 |
| jagginess | deitarion, ^ | 07:35 |
| deitarion | jagginess: You really don't get what i'm talking about. The toggling is just an artifact of my test procedure. | 07:35 |
| rommel092079 | i am usig centos right now and i have issues with their packages. some are installed with yum and some with using rpm. is ubuntu done somewhat this way too or just with apt-get? | 07:36 |
| jagginess | rommel092079, #centos (you're in #ubuntu :) | 07:36 |
| jagginess | rommel092079, not the same thing | 07:36 |
| jagginess | ubuntu==dpkg/apt-get/aptitude , synaptic | 07:36 |
| vivid | rommel092079, its a similar situation, yum is equivalent to apt-get, while rpm is equivalent to dpkg | 07:36 |
| the_dark_knight | hey guys please help me out on the upstart | 07:36 |
| the_dark_knight | hi, I have one very important porblem related to upstart. My sample.conf and sample.sh are here http://www.bpaste.net/raw/chfJp8rB37ci5HKgbymF/. when i do sudo initctl emit sample, it hangs my computer. I have to restart it manually. please help. am i doing it right? | 07:37 |
| deitarion | jagginess: The whole point of this exercise is so a script can detect whether the desktop is composited without recognizing the WM by name and saying "Oh, Compiz! That's composited" or "Oh, KWin! I need to use <name of command> to check for compositing" | 07:37 |
| wols | rommel092079: yum is a rpm front end and doesn't install anything. apt-get gets the packages and does conflict resolution while all packages are installed via dpkg | 07:37 |
| jagginess | deitarion, i dont think there's a standard API for window managers to report if they're using a compositing feature.. | 07:37 |
| wols | deitarion: you can't do this, cause the fact that it uses compositing is WM internal. all you can do is check for compositing support from the server | 07:38 |
| deitarion | jagginess: But there's probably a standard API for the X server to tell me that some WM has activated the rendering redirects inherent in compositing. | 07:38 |
| rommel092079 | is there ever an instance where you will be needing to install using other than apt-get? | 07:38 |
| jagginess | deitarion, unless you can query some class trees like you can with old X intrisic classtrees | 07:38 |
| wols | rommel092079: depends what you do,but yes there is. but you can then uninstall this package via apt-get again if you want to | 07:39 |
| jagginess | deitarion, probably this might be another avenue, but other than that you'll have to probe it | 07:39 |
| jagginess | deitarion, again you should ask a higher level group on the subject.. but I do know you won't get an answer about scripting solutions | 07:40 |
| sandGorgon | hi guys - I'm now storing my ssh keys in a new location in /etc . how do I get selinux to allow sshd permission to read it ? | 07:40 |
| deitarion | jagginess: We shall see. I suspect that, whether it's glxinfo or xdpyinfo or some other such utility, if I set it verbose enough and query the right X extension, I'll find some indicator I can awk out and use. | 07:40 |
| jagginess | deitarion, you can probably script probing gnome classes, you'll have to find the right tools for scripting this, but the dev's at #xorg would point you to glx/xorg docs | 07:41 |
| jagginess | deitarion, not talking strictly on xdypinfo, but some other miscellaneous helper tool in the repos | 07:41 |
| rommel092079 | what packages are installed with apt-get and dkpg? | 07:42 |
| jagginess | deitarion, (you can keep digging like -> apt-cache search glx ) dunno what grep can be used.. but there's always something | 07:42 |
| cloudgeek | guys for svn any hosting free like assemla! | 07:42 |
| wols | rommel092079: all | 07:42 |
| deitarion | jagginess: *nod* I'll drop into #xorg now and ask since it'll probably be low-effort. | 07:42 |
| rommel092079 | wols: can you give me example on how to use dkpg to start with | 07:43 |
| jagginess | deitarion, what are you going to use with your script, xdialog? a misc tool like xdialog for the purpose you're looking for.. there's tools for scripting all sorts of stuff (and doubt #xorg can help you on this because you're not doing C) | 07:43 |
| somsip | cloudgeek: why not assembla? Free for no-frills isn't it? | 07:43 |
| wols | rommel092079: to do what? | 07:44 |
| cloudgeek | somsip: nope it's only free for 30 dyas | 07:44 |
| rommel092079 | to install / update | 07:44 |
| cloudgeek | days | 07:44 |
| deitarion | jagginess: No gui whatsoever. It generates a debug dump to be attached to a bug report. | 07:44 |
| jagginess | deitarion, well there's also dmidecode that's sort a structured output | 07:45 |
| wols | cloudgeek: sourceforge | 07:45 |
| cloudgeek | best hosting for svn for private! | 07:45 |
| wols | or you use github | 07:45 |
| cloudgeek | wols: let me checkout sourceforge | 07:45 |
| deitarion | jagginess: Structured isn't necessarily a problem but it also requires root. | 07:45 |
| cloudgeek | wols: let me check if github gives free hosting for svn | 07:45 |
| somsip | cloudgeek: limited if you setup a team account for a trial period. Free for single users | 07:46 |
| somsip | cloudgeek: oh - maybe because i'm already signed in. Oh well | 07:47 |
| cloudgeek | somsip: we are 3 guys , we are working on the app deveopment, using svn which is best solution for us | 07:47 |
| jagginess | cloudgeek, I heard Linus Torvalds made git | 07:47 |
| somsip | cloudgeek: ok - see you need team collaboration. fair enough | 07:47 |
| jagginess | somsip, he, himself and hehe | 07:48 |
| cloudgeek | jagginess: but i am using java , but for most things i use git only | 07:48 |
| jagginess | cloudgeek, well apache.org has stuff, maybe ant (there's probably ant-addon capability for the eclipse IDE) | 07:48 |
| cloudgeek | somsip: ya we working for an NGO app ,that will be free | 07:49 |
| jagginess | cloudgeek, (eclipse and ant are tools for java development) | 07:49 |
| cloudgeek | jagginess: yep i using them | 07:49 |
| cloudgeek | jagginess: but how we can share and commit out code | 07:49 |
| jagginess | cloudgeek, "ant" ? | 07:49 |
| cloudgeek | our code | 07:49 |
| cloudgeek | jagginess: okay | 07:50 |
| jagginess | cloudgeek, dunno, maybe there's a git plugin for eclipse | 07:50 |
| the_dark_knight | hi, I have one very important porblem related to upstart. My sample.conf and sample.sh are here http://www.bpaste.net/raw/chfJp8rB37ci5HKgbymF/. when i do sudo initctl emit sample, it hangs my computer. I have to restart it manually. please help. am i doing it right? | 07:50 |
| kristenbb | wols: are you still there? | 07:50 |
| wols | yes | 07:51 |
| jagginess | the_dark_knight, what is that for? you'll definitely be safer using a crontab job for a user | 07:51 |
| kristenbb | wols: I managed to start unity using xinit | 07:51 |
| deitarion | There is a git plugin for eclipse. one sec. | 07:51 |
| jagginess | duh, i already told him | 07:51 |
| jagginess | that's his homework :) | 07:52 |
| deitarion | s/There is/There IS/ (I'm responding to your "maybe" | 07:52 |
| kristenbb | wols: the file you request can be found here: pastebin.com/4EMgfGGi | 07:52 |
| deitarion | ) | 07:52 |
| jagginess | i dont think he wasn't listening to me.. but he knows better what he wants to do exactly.. :) lol | 07:52 |
| somsip | cloudgeek: you say git is okay for you? https://bitbucket.org/ | 07:53 |
| deitarion | Given that I suspect that's true, probably better to give him the "for skeptical noobs"-designed GitHub page on the topic rather than the mess of old solutions in search results. | 07:53 |
| sandGorgon | hi guys - I'm now storing my ssh keys in a new location in /etc . how do I get selinux to allow sshd permission to read it ? | 07:54 |
| deitarion | http://eclipse.github.com/ | 07:54 |
| jagginess | sandGorgon, if you enabled selinux, you need to reboot it, and update the selabel across the / drive | 07:54 |
| the_dark_knight | jagginess: but with cron I'll have to restart it for like per min. I want my process sample.py to be always up and running. you get the point? should I be doing initctl start sample. right? | 07:54 |
| jagginess | the_dark_knight, do you know what cron is? It sure doesn't sound like you do. You can specify repeats with cron | 07:55 |
| wols | kristenbb: have you connected your monitor via hdmi cable? if you specify the res manually in xorg.conf (run nvidia-settings) it should work | 07:55 |
| wols | the_dark_knight: then start it as a user's script. not upstart | 07:56 |
| kristenbb | wols: i don't understand what you're talking about regarding "res manually", sorry. But yes it's a hdmi cable. | 07:56 |
| jagginess | cron can allow user task jobs... | 07:56 |
| wols | kristenbb: display resolution. | 07:57 |
| kristenbb | wols: so what am I to do exactly ? | 07:57 |
| niklasharju | How can I get 120hz, anybody know? | 07:57 |
| the_dark_knight | jagginess: from what I know and have used , cron will schedule some jobs periodically. say do run sample.sh everyday at 11AM, like that. But with upstart I want sample.py to run always. Even when it gets aborted for some reason i want it to restart it again. | 07:57 |
| jagginess | kristenbb, look in the menu for arandr or use xrandr in the cli | 07:57 |
| the_dark_knight | wols: I am not getting it. | 07:57 |
| wols | jagginess: have you looked at his xorg log? | 07:57 |
| kristenbb | jagginess: what?? | 07:57 |
| wols | the_dark_knight: what you want to do, upstart is the wrong place | 07:58 |
| kristenbb | jagginess: what's a 'arandr', 'xrandr', 'cli' ? | 07:58 |
| jagginess | kristenbb, arandr is a gui frontend for xrandr, xrandr/arandr do the same thing-- change screen res | 07:58 |
| the_dark_knight | wols: so what should I do then? | 07:58 |
| wols | the_dark_knight: do a cronjob which check if your script is already running. if it's not, make the cronjob start it. let the cronjob do this every 5 minutes | 07:58 |
| the_dark_knight | wols: I don't think cron is the option? | 07:58 |
| kristenbb | jagginess: I still don't understand what I should do | 07:59 |
| the_dark_knight | wols: i can't afford to stop for 1 min. | 07:59 |
| jagginess | kristenbb, look with your package manager for 'randr', see if there's a<>randr and install that, it would be in the menu somewhere..once you install that, you do the click click from the menu | 07:59 |
| wols | the_dark_knight: then why is your script stopping in the first place? | 07:59 |
| the_dark_knight | wols: which script? | 08:00 |
| jagginess | the_dark_knight, the python one | 08:00 |
| jagginess | lol | 08:00 |
| wols | the_dark_knight: your python script you talk about? | 08:00 |
| === jagginess is now known as thejoker | ||
| kristenbb | jagginess: you mean I should install a new software just to change my screen resolution? I'm sorry, I don't understand. | 08:00 |
| the_dark_knight | wols: jagginess, suppose if gearmand stops. it will stop. sample.py is nothing but a gearman worker. | 08:01 |
| thejoker | gearman worker? wtf is that? lol | 08:01 |

| somsip | the_dark_knight: so you want something to monitor gearman and restart iot if it stops? | 08:02 |
| jagginess | mN-, driver and monitor have to support it. | 08:02 |
| jagginess | mN-, if you using cheap fallback driver, you won't get high hertz | 08:02 |
| the_dark_knight | somsip: yes | 08:02 |
| mN- | jagginess: yea it does, i can only raise it to 100hz however through nvidia, but in win7 i can get the full 120hz | 08:03 |
| jagginess | mN-, how big is your screen? | 08:03 |
| wols | the_dark_knight: then start gearman inside a script which immediately starts it again if it stops for whatever reason | 08:03 |
| whitman | Is extras.ubuntu.com down? | 08:03 |
| wols | the_dark_knight: same would apply to your python script, et | 08:03 |
| the_dark_knight | somsip: I want some of my gearman workers to be allways running. they should restart after reboot, also if fail/abort they should restart on their own | 08:03 |
| wols | *etc | 08:03 |
| mN- | jagginess: hmm i think it's 23inches | 08:03 |
| mN- | jagginess: 1680x1050 | 08:03 |
| wols | whitman: it's a normal web/ftp server. why don't you check for yourself? | 08:03 |
| jagginess | mN-, you using "nv" or "nvidia", maybe you should try the "nvidia" driver | 08:04 |
| the_dark_knight | wols: I am sorry. I don't understand the "inside a script which immediately starts it again if it stops " part | 08:04 |
| the_dark_knight | wols: Do you mean use upstart for this. | 08:04 |
| whitman | wols, I have, I can't connect but it could be a localised issue rather than being unavailable for everyone | 08:04 |
| wols | the_dark_knight: while (1) do: run gearman; | 08:05 |
| jagginess | the_dark_knight, i think cron may be able to do that.. to restart a task if it dies out prematurely | 08:05 |
| wols | whitman: http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ | 08:05 |
| wols | jagginess: no it won't | 08:05 |
| mN- | jagginess: im using NVIDIA binary Xorg driver (prop. ,tested) | 08:05 |
| jagginess | whitman, hey you know that book you wrote, 'leaves of grass', the poems don't rhyme.. it's quite a shame | 08:05 |
| jagginess | mN- tried the nvidia-settings gui tweaker? | 08:06 |
| mN- | jagginess: what was the command? | 08:06 |
| jagginess | mN- and ask it to save a .nvidia<> in ~ .. if you can get a 120Hz with the tool, you can script nvidia-settings to auto-apply ~/.nvidia<>ttings | 08:06 |
| jagginess | mN- , nvidia-settings | 08:07 |
| jagginess | mN- , or use nvidia-<tab><tab> | 08:07 |
| jagginess | mN- , it probably is in the menu | 08:07 |
| mN- | jagginess: yea i was able to get 100hz from there instead of the 60hz | 08:07 |
| mN- | jagginess: but not 120hz | 08:07 |
| jagginess | mN-, see if there are edid errors, maybe you have a long cable that isnt very good | 08:08 |
| jagginess | mN-, (/var/log/Xorg.0.log | 08:08 |
| jagginess | ) | 08:08 |
| the_dark_knight | wols: jagginess, I can solve it by cron but I don't like the option of monitoring at least per minute. | 08:08 |
| kristenbb | Can someone please help me regarding my issue with the nvidia driver ? The system fails to boot properly, and says 'the system is running in low graphics mode. your screen, graphics card, and input device settings, could not be detected correctly, you need to configure them yourself' | 08:08 |
| jagginess | the_dark_knight, well you can show your #python script and people may suggest the best way to overcome and premature freeze/etc.. | 08:09 |
| jagginess | the_dark_knight, if it's a buggy script then you'd expect it to be very problematic with anything starting it | 08:09 |

| Ampersand | Hi everyone. I have a quick question: I've recently upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10 and in the Software Sources preferences in the "Other Software" tab i have 3 disabled checkboxes with the mention "disabled on upgrade to quantal". My question is if this means that BEFORE the upgrade, they were enabled? | 08:41 |
| somsip | kristenbb: kristenbb this seems to be a comon issue and a number of solutions are given here. Have you tried any of these? http://askubuntu.com/questions/141606/how-to-fix-the-system-is-running-in-low-graphics-mode-error | 08:42 |
| mN- | jagginess: what then? i wrote " # option "ster..." | 08:42 |
| bazhang | Ampersand, correct. probably PPA | 08:42 |
| lapion | from 12.04 on bluetooth is not being handled correctly | 08:42 |
| Jordan_U | Ampersand: Yes, third party repositories are always disabled as one of the first steps in upgrading. | 08:42 |
| Ampersand | and it's safe to re-enable them then? | 08:43 |
| Ampersand | yes, they're all PPAs (launchpad and dropbox) | 08:43 |
| ix_ | can I install ubuntu from minimal iso on a pppoe connection? | 08:43 |
| jagginess | yeah.. disable the ppa's when upgrading.. you can rename the .list to a .list_dis | 08:43 |
| bazhang | Ampersand, check if there are PPA builds for 12.10 | 08:43 |
| jagginess | (in the sources.d folder) | 08:43 |
| lapion | whenever I suspend/hibernate resume the bluetooth devices cannot reconnect | 08:43 |
| bazhang | jagginess, they are automatically disabled on version upgrade, so no need | 08:43 |
| Ampersand | sorry, could you tell me how to do that (check for PPA builds for 12.10) ? | 08:44 |
| bazhang | jagginess, did you mean sources.list.d ? | 08:44 |
| jagginess | bazhang, i dunno, i spent 3 hours a few days ago doing things like this.. you talking about upgrading from cd? | 08:44 |
| bazhang | Ampersand, just go to the PPA search page on launchpad | 08:44 |
| kristenbb | somsip: no I didn't. Am I to take the first answer ? It mentions it's only a 'workaround' but doesn't really solve the problem, is this my best option? | 08:44 |

I see nothing in there that will break anything, and it's likely you will learn something in the process of working throguh these to see what works | 08:45 |
| lapion | the only way to solve it is to reboot or to restart X | 08:46 |
| bazhang | Ampersand, the easiest way is to look at the PPA name, then search that name/that package/PPA in a search engine to bring you to the page | 08:46 |
| Ampersand | I'm on the launchpad.net site right now. I have to search in the searchbox "private-ppa" ? | 08:46 |

| jagginess | mN-, i use 12.10, use ctl-alt-Fn | 08:47 |

| Ampersand | and I have one more Q abouit the PPAs: is any PPA that's listed on the launchpad site safe? I mean, I do read a lot of articles on various websites, recommending to install various software from PPAs, but to check if they're indeed safe, it's enough that they're listed on launchpad that being an indication that it's safe? | 08:50 |
| sdfdafadfsadad | can anyone help me? | 08:50 |

| kristenbb | somsip: well i don't know? I think it's interesting to try to install another driver, but it says i don't have the rights. How can I change that? | 08:54 |
| somsip | kristenbb: you could try doning what I suggested and looking at the webpage I found for you. If you want to install drivers, use sudo apt-get in a terminal | 08:54 |
| kristenbb | somsip: sudo apt-get followed by what? I wanted to use the gui called 'additionnal drivers', but I can't change the 'current version' that is selected | 08:55 |
| somsip | kristenbb: no idea. I don't use that | 08:56 |
| ak5 | can someone tell me how upstart compares to systemd and/or link me to some nice docs? | 08:56 |
| somsip | kristenbb: sudo apt-get install {driver} if you want to do it the CLI way | 08:56 |
| kristenbb | somsip: {driver} being the driver's name, right? but how to know its name? | 08:56 |
| somsip | kristenbb: you said you wanted to install something. You must know the something you want to install | 08:57 |
| kristenbb | somsip: no, not its exact name, I just said maybe it was worth a try to install other drivers, given that this one doesn't seem to work. But i don't know the other drivers names | 08:59 |

| herpp | helo sir | 09:28 |
| blazemore | How did you manage the name "john"? I'm impressed | 09:28 |
| _cronus_ | Kartagis, it is also provided by libc-xen, which is a dependency of xen-hypervisor. maybe it has something to do with library load path | 09:29 |
| john | not sure lol | 09:29 |
| mN- | Yay I fixed it, I have 120hz now! | 09:29 |
| blazemore | mN-: Were you asking about that yesterday? | 09:29 |
| mN- | yeah | 09:30 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: I suspect you have made a mistake somewhere or not seen somethin on screen | 09:30 |
| mN- | blazemore: They only helped me get nvidia-settings. but it worked after I modified xorg.conf saying 1680_1050_100 to 1680_1050_120, and then in tty1 just sudo service stop lightdm; service start lightdm | 09:31 |
| Kartagis | _cronus_: libc6-xen is also installed | 09:31 |
| mN- | so thanks to you too blazemore ^_^ | 09:31 |
| blazemore | sudo service stop lightdm? Does that work | 09:31 |
| blazemore | I assumed it was sudo service lightdm stop | 09:31 |
| mN- | yeah i meant that | 09:32 |
| mN- | misspelled | 09:32 |
| Kartagis | I have a /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6, if that helps | 09:33 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: are you using 32bit ? | 09:33 |
| Kartagis | yes | 09:33 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: ok, so you are probably missing a symlink to /lib | 09:33 |
| _cronus_ | Kartagis, yes, that's what i mean. there are 2 libc.so.6 files in your system. maybe it tries to load the wrong one. ldd /bin/bash may give you a hint which one it tries to load. | 09:33 |

| mN- | blazemore: instead of Option "metamodes" "1680x1050_120 +0+0; nvidia-auto-select +0+0", I just wrote Option "metamodes" "1680x1050_120 +0+0" | 09:35 |

| DJ_U|Laptop | Mornin' all. :) | 09:37 |
| blazemore | berdy: Surely they'd just work? It would depend on the audio interface not the speakers | 09:37 |
| berdy | I have an HP Pavillion dv7 with two main Beats speakers, two regular by the touch pad, and a "sub" that's beats | 09:37 |

| berdy | just using the two upfront that aren't beats | 09:37 |

| DJ_U|Laptop | roger, thanks. :) | 09:40 |
| blazemore | So ask your question and if #kubuntu would be more appropriate someone will say so | 09:40 |
| berdy | blazemore, do I need to restart anything now? | 09:41 |
| DJ_U|Laptop | Well, the one issue I have isn't specific to KDE, it seems to be the display/backlight. it's a known issue though it seems. | 09:41 |

| stevechc_ | Yes, lluttz, what do you think of this concept as a way of learning to admin your Ubuntu servers? | 10:16 |
| Muelli | MestreLion: if you only want to send email, don't bother with all this. use sstmp and make your mail client send mails to the ssmtp server spawned on localhost | 10:16 |
| llutz | !ot | stevechc_ | 10:16 |

| stevechc_ | Ok. fair enuff! | 10:18 |
| MestreLion | Muelli: hummm... so ssmtp creates an smtp server at localhost? so I could set up thunderbird to localhost? wow... | 10:18 |
| MestreLion | I wasn't planning on chaning tb's config... I would at first just copy its smtp settings to whatever solution you pointed... but "localhost" is quite tempting :) | 10:19 |
| MestreLion | does that also mean that *any* software that tries to send email through localhost will now work? :D | 10:20 |
| Muelli | oh, wait a second MestreLion. ssmtp doesn't spawn a server. You would have to make postfix or exim to do that. ssmtp is "only" a program to send mails via a relay | 10:20 |
| Muelli | and yes, it's a bit messy. Even in 2012. | 10:20 |

| MestreLion | llutz: what is queueing useful for? | 10:23 |
| iceroot | Haris: and why not 12.04 or 12.10? | 10:23 |
| sdfdafadfsadad | MestreLion: i cant go to ubuntu how to "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/UBUNTU /dev/sda " ? | 10:23 |
| MestreLion | sdfdafadfsadad: using a live cd / usb | 10:24 |
| sdfdafadfsadad | ok i have windows 7 already | 10:24 |
| llutz | MestreLion: if the receiving smtp-server is not reachable, a "real" (queueing) mailserver tries to deliver the mails later, ssmtp won't - it drops the mail | 10:24 |
| sdfdafadfsadad | MestreLion: now i put ubuntu boot cd then what should i do? | 10:24 |

| MestreLion | llutz / Muelli: I've installed ssmtp and it looks like this is indeed exactly what I need. But it's curious that, since it is not a daemon or require sudo, it does not have a per-user config file.. | 10:40 |
| hateball | rcspam: It's been a long time since I used that myself. Does that actually use 64-bit now? It used to grab the 32-bit flash | 10:40 |
| Muelli | heh MestreLion. Feel free to patch it ;-) | 10:41 |
| hateball | rcspam: running "file /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so" in a terminal should tell if it's 32-bit or 64-bit anyhow | 10:41 |

| bar_ | dr_willis:Where do I get it though? | 10:41 |
| dr_willis | its on the boot menu of the live cd somewhere | 10:41 |

| MestreLion | Muelli: I probally will... its usually not hard to. But I wonder... I'm sure i'm not the first one to ask / want this, so why its not done already? It looks like a very popular package (and oh, btw, thank you guys!!!!) | 10:42 |

| Muelli | MestreLion: *shrug* don't know. I don't think it's a very highly demanded feature. If you have separate SMTP servers for separate users, you probably have a bigger installation and then run your own MTA anyway. | 10:43 |

| bar_ | Thanks for your help dr_willis | 10:45 |
| MestreLion | Muelli: even using the same smtp server for all users (say, gmail), their auth settings are surely personal... and it looks a bit awkward to set up a personal password in /etc | 10:46 |
| Muelli | MestreLion: I agree. But it's probably not meant to be configured with a "personal" SMTP server. Rather the ones from your ISP. Or college. Or company. | 10:46 |
| rcspam | hateball, fullscreen is working with troubles in youtube html5 ... so thank i think it's probaly a hardware problem | 10:48 |

| kristenbb | my problem is that ever since I installed the recommended driver, the desktop fails to load, there's an error message instead | 11:45 |
| kristenbb | the error says: the system is running in low graphics mode. your screen, graphics card, and input device settings could not be detected correctly. you will need to configure these yourself. | 11:46 |
| wols | kristenbb: short answer: nvidia-settings and change resolution. or hardwrite it into xorg.conf. other possibility: use a nvidia 30x.x driver from current ubuntu (i.e. upgrade to quantal) | 11:46 |
| kristenbb | wols: change it to what resolution? | 11:47 |

| kristenbb | wols: is there any way I can know what my monitor uses as native? | 11:48 |
| wols | py_can: then do it. unless you do it the bad way by going to nvidia.com | 11:48 |
| py_can | wols: what is bad about going to my vendors website to download drivers for linux? | 11:48 |
| wols | kristenbb: look on your invoice for your monitor. even I know that you have a samsung something or ever | 11:48 |
| wols | py_can: it breaks your ubuntu. it's not the way drivers are handled in linux. never were and hopefully never ever will be | 11:49 |
| py_can | okay. what do you suggest wols? | 11:49 |
| wols | !nvidia | py_can | 11:49 |
| ubottu | py_can: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 11:49 |
| wols | py_can: but you probably already have installed the crap from nvidia.com. good luck getting rid of it | 11:50 |
| py_can | wols: the installation wouldnt go trough because i couldnt get rid of nouveau | 11:50 |

| dr_willis | but ive nevvver used it either. ;) | 12:21 |
| jrib | AdvoWork: 1) you can use a regex with locate so you don't need to grep 2) you can do something like: locate foo | while read -r file; do cat $file; done | 12:21 |
| bekks | find /home/files -type f -name db.php -exec cat {} \; | 12:21 |

| robbie | ngt: did you see their web page? wow thats some nice looking free software :) | 12:56 |
| ngt | robbie: yup but not much help can be found on this matter. | 12:56 |
| robbie | ngt: ok well .. if you want you can scan your syslog and see if you get lucky with a specific message from their software | 12:56 |
| ngt | robbie: though might try my luck here first | 12:56 |
| robbie | ngt: yea good luck sorry, without knowing the process causing the error its not easy to diagnose | 12:57 |
| robbie | the_dark_knight: congrats :) | 12:57 |
| robbie | I am getting an error that my backup location is too small in deja dup, but it is 5gb and the backup will only be 85mb | 12:58 |
| robbie | anyone know/use the default backup software for Ubuntu ? | 12:58 |
| ngt | robbie: thanks will try to look around and come back later. I am a windows user so it's kinda hard with ubuntu right now | 12:58 |
| bekks | robbie: Why? | 12:58 |
| the_dark_knight | robbie: I mean I have previously tried to put "python" in cron too. It didn't work either, I had to go with a shell script with python command. Wonder why I can't directly run python | 12:59 |
| yepwatermelon | Yeah I'm still stuck... :/ | 12:59 |
| robbie | bekks: I am getting an error that my backup location is too small in deja dup, but it is 5gb and the backup will only be 85mb | 12:59 |
| bekks | robbie: So you are using deja dup then. | 12:59 |
| yepwatermelon | robbie: trying to remove it throws an unmet dependency error running apt-get -f install throws the error from earlier | 12:59 |
| robbie | yepwatermelon: what is the other application that is requiring libboost-dev? | 13:00 |
| robbie | bekks: its the default backup software in Ubuntu | 13:00 |
| yepwatermelon | robbie: libboost-dev | 13:01 |
| guang_ | can ubuntu 10.04 install gstreamer 1.0? | 13:02 |
| robbie | yepwatermelon: what is the *other application* that requires libboost-dev? | 13:02 |
| the_dark_knight | robbie: gearman requires it. | 13:03 |
| the_dark_knight | robbie: sorry that was other discussion. | 13:03 |
| yepwatermelon | robbie: They're just dependencies required to compile another program. | 13:04 |
| robbie | the_dark_knight, yepwatermelon: whichever software that is, you might make a backup of it, and then uninstall it... install libboost1.46-dev and then reinstall the other software -- but I think you are going to find that it won't accept libboost1.46-dev, so you'll need to get the package from the source instead of from ubuntu | 13:05 |
| robbie | bekks: yeah, it's the default backup software in Ubuntu | 13:05 |

| JuJuBee | I am trying to install 12.10 64 bit onto this laptop but get a message telling me it requires an x86-64 but only has i686? http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/product/pdf_files/detailed_specs/satellite_A105-S4284.pdfv | 13:07 |
| jeaton | how do I go about changing the DE in ubuntu 12.10? | 13:07 |
| Haris | no /etc/inittab on ubuntu 11.10 ? | 13:07 |
| bekks | Haris: No. | 13:07 |
| Haris | where does it store the config with which I can tell it to boot in what init mode | 13:08 |
| jeaton | i can't force myself to like unity | 13:08 |
| bekks | Haris: There are no initmodes anymore since Upstart. | 13:08 |
| Haris | !upstart | 13:08 |
| ubottu | Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 13:08 |
| bekks | !upstart | Haris | 13:08 |
| ubottu | Haris: please see above | 13:08 |
| Haris | how do I make it remain on console, rather than go to X after bootup ? | 13:09 |
| Haris | do we have runlevels ? | 13:09 |
| bekks | Haris: No. As just being told. | 13:09 |
| bekks | Disable the startup of the desktop manager in /etc/default/ | 13:10 |
| DJones | !text | Haris | 13:10 |
| ubottu | Haris: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 13:10 |

| RxDx | please, I have 2 NICs (network interfaces) connected on a router... One is connect on a PCI and another is on a miniPCI... How can I know which interface is connect on each device? I mean.. i wanna know if wlan0 is the network connect on a miniPCI or on PCI slot.. | 13:11 |
| bekks | RxDx: Connect a cable and see which interface it is. | 13:11 |
| Haris | => /etc/default/console-setup file ? | 13:11 |
| RxDx | bekks: there is no cables.. they are both wireless interfaces | 13:12 |
| Haris | I think this ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode ) link is broken | 13:12 |
| bekks | Haris: Why do you think that? | 13:12 |
| bekks | RxDx: Just pull out one of them... | 13:12 |
| Haris | I see no such heading or point that it takes me to on the page, after this web page loads up | 13:12 |
| RxDx | bekks: u mean.. ifconfig wlan0 down? | 13:13 |
| RxDx | but how can i know if i pulled out the miniPCI or the PCI? | 13:13 |
| jeaton | how do I switch to a gnome environment? | 13:13 |
| bekks | RxDx: By looking into your hands... | 13:13 |
| bekks | RxDx: No. I mean "pull it out of your computer". | 13:14 |
| RxDx | bekks: on my hands i can see both.. but i dont know if the device that im looking for is the wlan0 or the wlan1 | 13:14 |
| bekks | RxDx: Do you know the difference between PCI and miniPCI? | 13:14 |
| Haris | this is the CD's default options | 13:14 |
| RxDx | bekks: hmm, its an option.. but is there any other way without take the card off? | 13:14 |
| Haris | its not options for installed OS | 13:14 |
| bekks | Haris: I just told you how to solve your problem. | 13:15 |
| RxDx | bekks: yes.. but both uses the same driver | 13:15 |
| bekks | RxDx: And...? | 13:15 |
| RxDx | (atk5) i guess | 13:15 |
| RxDx | them i cannot differ them.. i mean.. i dont know if im looking for wlan0 is the miniPCI or the PCI device | 13:15 |
| bekks | RxDx: Do you know that PCI and miniPCI have different sizes when compared to each other? | 13:16 |
| Haris | bekks: I didn't understand the message | 13:16 |
| RxDx | i need to know that because i wanna make wlan0 connect via adhoc with miniPCI device while wlan1 is an AP connect via PCI | 13:16 |
| Haris | there's nothing in what I read that relates to it | 13:16 |
| RxDx | bekks: physical size? yes, i know | 13:16 |
| bekks | RxDx: Then pull out ONE of them... | 13:16 |
| bekks | RxDx: Where's the problem with that? | 13:17 |
| RxDx | bekks: this routers could be installed on a remote location that i could not have physical access | 13:17 |
| bekks | RxDx: But now, you have access... | 13:17 |
| Haris | I can't find the relevant file under /etc/defaults/ | 13:18 |
| bekks | Haris: So which desktop manager do you use? | 13:18 |
| RxDx | bekks: ill have to do that way hehe.. thanks a lot :) | 13:18 |
| Haris | I don't want to use any. Just want it to boot into console/cli | 13:19 |
| bekks | Haris: So which do you use NOW? | 13:19 |
| Haris | I'v installed 11.10-server-64bit | 13:19 |
| bekks | Haris: And why did you install X on your server then? | 13:19 |
| Haris | I'm not sure. I'v just installed 11.10 from netboot. Can't see anything on KVM | 13:19 |
| Haris | I didn't tell it to install X | 13:19 |
| Haris | I wanted a basic, bare minimum install from network | 13:20 |
| bekks | Then there is no X installed. And no desktop manager. Your vm is bootinginto cli. | 13:20 |
| wols | Haris: don't start a display manager. | 13:20 |
| === Youri is now known as YBook | ||
| bekks | wols: He didnt. | 13:20 |
| wols | bekks: but he got X somehow or what? | 13:20 |
| Haris | when the box boots up, the KVM screen goes "No signal" | 13:20 |
| bekks | wols: No. | 13:20 |
| Haris | but when I send Alt+F4 macro to KVM, the display goes back to cli | 13:20 |
| bekks | Haris: Then boot into text mode as suggested. | 13:20 |
| wols | Haris: nomodeset | 13:20 |
| Haris | I'm not sure what I was suggested | 13:21 |
| bekks | You were. :) | 13:21 |
| Haris | I can't find anything relevant under /etc/default | 13:21 |
| bekks | That has nothing to do with the text mode. | 13:21 |
| bekks | That only has something to do with not starting a desktop manager. | 13:21 |
| Haris | wols: there's nothing as "nomodeset" on cli on 11.10 | 13:22 |
| Haris | ok | 13:22 |
| bekks | Haris: ? nomodeset is a kernel option, not a cliu command. | 13:22 |
| Haris | ah | 13:22 |
| ubh | hi all! I need to get 2 connections working... | 13:22 |
| Haris | there's no /etc/sysconfig on ubuntu. Where do I set this option | 13:22 |

| Haris | ah that | 13:23 |
| wols | Haris: what's in your /etc/network/interfaces ? | 13:24 |
| ubh | how can I get theese 2 connections works at same time? | 13:24 |
| bekks | ubh: Why do you want to connections to your router? Thats not necessary. | 13:24 |
| LennyLinux | Hi, i created a bootable usb and set usb-zip (i tried usb-hdd also) as fist bootable device in the bios, but it doesn't work. The other day it worked with win8 on the same pen. Do you have any advice? Could you help me, please? | 13:24 |
| Haris | auto lo and auto eth0. then normal interface config under the auto eth0 line for eth0. pasting it | 13:24 |
| ubh | bekks: because I'm connected to the internet and laptop is near my router | 13:24 |
| bekks | ubh: And...? | 13:24 |
| ubh | bekks: PS3 is far from router | 13:25 |

| mandla | Hello. Is it only me, i couldnt upgrade from Precise Pangolin to Quantal Quetzal. I ended up installing a fresh copy of 12.10 of a different partition. | 13:30 |
| wiehanvdmerwe | How do I reset/fix apt | 13:30 |

| tinux | heys | 13:31 |
| Haris | any ideas why its not finding eth0 ? | 13:33 |
| Slart | tinux: I'm not sure they will.. you might have to get the next version of ubuntu | 13:33 |
| Slart | tinux: ubuntu doesn't do rolling updates unless it's security stuff, iirc | 13:34 |
| tinux | Slart: hmm its 12.04LTS :) long term... yay | 13:34 |
| mandla | Haris, use ethtool to bring it up. | 13:34 |
| TheLordOfTime | tinux, they won't upgrade the versions in already-released versions, bugs and security fixes get pushed in with patches and minor fixes | 13:34 |
| Haris | I have it disabled in bios. that's why it can't find it | 13:34 |
| tinux | I will make a bugreport | 13:34 |
| Haris | my! bad | 13:34 |
| === graham is now known as Guest80663 | ||
| TheLordOfTime | tinux, they won't upgrade that to 2.2.23, but if you can find bugfixes that would fix it in 2.2.22 it could be SRU'd (and bugfixes are put in) | 13:35 |

| Haris | can you believe it, the server ISO/version doesn't come pre-installed with openss-server | 13:43 |
| Haris | I see | 13:43 |
| Haris | I mean the netboot one | 13:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Haris: you can remaster it to have it. The server install CD is there to install the server OS, so why would it be needed? | 13:45 |

| food | I installed ubuntu 12.04.1 (64bit) yesterday and my laptop continued for 24 hours and many hours it was idle. I was been running 2-3 Applications vmware workstation(With 2 guests), Firefox . Today again the all icons, menus,windows etc got ugly. I did not even able to take any screenshot because i can't click on K menu SO i forcefully reboot the system(So i again lost my all important works) . This happened on Ubuntu 32 before but the same proble | 13:48 |
| food | m in 64 bit too. Anyone can help me to fix this please? | 13:48 |
| nikolam | Also PATA CD/DVD is not available in /etc/fstab after install (even if CD was inserted in the same PATA drive for install...) | 13:49 |
| Haris | check this out. I said service network restart. it says network: unrecognized service | 13:49 |
| n00bie | ActionParsnip: nope thats another problem, im booting it with nomodeset, but there seems to be a bug in the startup media creator since i thought i used the most compatible verion and when i check the created usb drive with md5sum -c md5sum.txt there are missing files | 13:49 |
| Haris | lol | 13:49 |

| LucidGuy | Has anyone tried installing Ubuntu 12.04 .. then xfce-desktop, then completely removing Unity? | 13:50 |
| ActionParsnip | n00bie: you should add the nouveau.blacklist=1 so that you use fallback driver, you can then install the propriatary driver once installed and be ok | 13:50 |
| blazemore | LucidGuy: Why not just install xubuntu? | 13:50 |
| === Kvaks is now known as Kvakz | ||
| VlanX | ActionParsnip: so you suggest me to istall 12.04 rather than upgrade ? | 13:50 |
| ActionParsnip | LucidGuy: why uninstall Unity? It's tiny | 13:50 |
| LucidGuy | blazemore, because Xubuntu 12.04 only has 3 year support as apposed to 5 | 13:50 |
| nikolam | LucidGuy, it sounds to me like Xubuntu install. It has no Unity but everything works. | 13:50 |
| blackshirt | LucidGuy: maybe someone has trying to do that..why not you try it ? | 13:50 |
| ActionParsnip | VlanX: for me personally, clean install is always ideal (seen too many issues with upgrades) | 13:51 |
| n00bie | ActionParsnip: thanks, but thats not the problem in facing right now. i need to create a usb drive for server install with all the needed files . currently i get md5sum: ./install/netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default: No such file or directory | 13:51 |
| robbie | is there a general resource on .desktop files? | 13:51 |
| VlanX | ActionParsnip: k thank you :) | 13:51 |
| ActionParsnip | LucidGuy: Xubuntu 12.04 is supported as long as Ubuntu 12.04 is. Lubuntu 12.04 is not LTS | 13:51 |
| food | Clean install also has big issue if it is 12.4 | 13:51 |
| ActionParsnip | n00bie: use TAB to autcomplete folder names. | 13:52 |
| LucidGuy | ActionParsnip, Thats not ture. Xubuntu is 3, Ubuntu is 5 | 13:52 |
| ActionParsnip | food: if your work is 'impportant' why is it not backed up? | 13:52 |
| n00bie | ActionParsnip: how would i do that_ | 13:52 |
| food | ActionParsnip, It crashed before backed up because i just started. | 13:53 |
| n00bie | ActionParsnip: i dont know where the correct file missing from the created usb stick would be located to copy it over | 13:53 |
| robbie | is there a general resource on .desktop files? like the files discussed here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/108060/is-it-possible-to-add-custom-items-to-system-settings-window | 13:54 |
| ActionParsnip | LucidGuy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xubuntu#Xubuntu_12.04_LTS states 5 years | 13:55 |
| ActionParsnip | n00bie: type a few letters of the folder name and hit tab,if a match exists it will be autocompleted | 13:55 |
| n00bie | ActionParsnip: i dont understand how this would help with a missing file | 13:56 |
| ActionParsnip | n00bie: then the ISO is corrupted | 13:56 |
| ActionParsnip | LucidGuy: wait, you are right. My bad | 13:56 |

| greasegum | wols:: meanwhile my ping times are highly erratic, sometimes not connecting at all, sometimes | 14:21 |

| LucidGuy | bekks, Have you tried performing an upgrade path like that? Sounds scarry .. as in Ill break things. | 14:22 |

Then I notice that after a fresh boot, it's sitting on 600 megs of ram. This is almost double what 12.04 seemed to need after a fresh boot. Any ideas? Does 12.10 just want more memory? | 15:24 |
| jrib | Cajun_Lan_Man: check what's using the memory | 15:25 |
| rephy222 | but i was wondering if i could add something like 127.0.0.1 www.*google*.com | 15:25 |

| Cajun_Lan_Man | bekks, What I mean is, I have 1 gig of ram allocated. Normally after a clean boot, 12.04 would be using about 350 megs of ram. Now with 12.10, after a clean boot it's sitting on about 700 megs. That, combined with the fact that the machine is no longer "snappy" as it was with 12.04, I'm just trying to figure out what's going on. | 15:57 |

| dr_willis | cant-install-ubu: all your hds are partioned with fat32 or ntfd.. id delete the partions on the hds you want to use and leave them unallocated, then reboot the installer | 16:00 |
| Cajun_Lan_Man | deadmund, See, after a fresh boot of 12.10 on the physical desktop, it's only sitting on 400 megs of ram. That's making me wonder if it's hardware accelerated, verses software rendering on the VM. | 16:00 |
| cant-install-ubu | dr_willis, already tried that but without reboot | 16:01 |

| Cajun_Lan_Man | deadmund, blazemore, Problem solved. After re-enabling HW rendering on the VM, my CPU usage at idle is back down in the single digits, memory usage is back down, and Ubuntu is quite snappy again. This did teach me one thing. Software rendered Unity 3D is a bit of a pig. Something I will try my best to avoid. | 16:13 |

| trism | cuore: the command name is ccsm, the package is compizconfig-settings-manager | 17:01 |
| blazemore | Is it? | 17:01 |
| lahwran | what's the best way to install proprietary ATI drivers? preferably a way where they're reasonably easy to uninstall | 17:01 |
| blazemore | trism: I'm sorry cuore - I thought it was the other way around | 17:01 |
| blazemore | lahwran: Using "jockey" the built-in driver tool in Ubuntu | 17:02 |
| PK | Hi. | 17:02 |
| lahwran | blazemore: is that going to install an up-to-date version? | 17:02 |
| blazemore | PK Hi. Nice nick | 17:02 |
| lahwran | that's always my worry using driver tools like that | 17:02 |
| blazemore | lahwran: probably. What's the result of "sudo apt-cache search fglrx" ? | 17:02 |
| PK | Thanks, those are just my initials. ;) | 17:02 |
| blazemore | !paste | lahwran | 17:02 |
| ubottu | lahwran: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 17:02 |
| cuore | blazemore: trism thanks a lot for your help | 17:02 |
| lahwran | I know how to paste, you don't have to jump on me like that :| | 17:02 |
| lahwran | however, it's on a different computer | 17:03 |
| PK | Is there a good way to learn PyGTK used for making Ubuntu apps? | 17:03 |
| blazemore | PK http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2tutorial/index.html | 17:03 |
| lahwran | blazemore: apt-cache show fglrx says that it's only version 8.960 | 17:04 |
| PK | blazemore No, that ain't a good one. I need something better... like Codecademy? | 17:04 |
| moondoggy | blazemore, Weird. That page tells me that it shouldn't be running on my machine, and the pop-up looks different. | 17:04 |
| moondoggy | Am I just paranoid? | 17:04 |
| MonkeyDust | PK start here http://developer.ubuntu.com/get-started/ | 17:04 |
| PK | MonkeyDust Already installed Quickly and learnt all its features. Just need to learn PyGTK. | 17:05 |
| blazemore | PK try asking in #python | 17:05 |
| MonkeyDust | PK http://zetcode.com/gui/pygtk/ | 17:05 |
| PK | blazemore: Not really. PyGTK is not so easy as Python. | 17:06 |
| PK | Any more languages I need to learn to continue? Any alternatives?> | 17:06 |
| [TiZ] | blazemore: It ended up being a problem with x2x. | 17:06 |
| blazemore | PyGTK is a Python library, so you'd do well to learn Python | 17:06 |
| IUseOTR | I deleted a bunch of packages associated with Evolution Mail (I use Thunderbird), and I seem to have deleted my clock/calendar display from the upper right side of the screen. Can anybody tell me how to restore it? | 17:07 |
| PK | Is there a way to create apps in Ubuntu using Java? I don't think so... but still... | 17:07 |
| [TiZ] | You'd do well to learn Python just because anyways. I came from C-like languages like Java, C#, Vala. | 17:07 |
| blazemore | IUseOTR: The calendar is part of Evolution | 17:07 |
| trism | IUseOTR: indicator-datetime | 17:07 |
| blazemore | PK Java is cross-platform, so yeah you can code Java in Ubuntu | 17:07 |
| [TiZ] | Python is a very nice language once you get used to it. | 17:07 |
| blazemore | Python > Java IMO | 17:07 |
| ttafred | java is xplatform so yes, i think | 17:07 |
| tottto-drummond | I have a problem with my usb wifi adaptor. can someone help me | 17:07 |
| IUseOTR | trism/blazemore: Thanks! | 17:08 |
| blazemore | tottto-drummond: You'll have to be a bit more specific | 17:08 |
| [TiZ] | You would need Java bindings for GTK. Which are probably uglier than C# bindings to GTK. | 17:08 |
| PK | What is this Pango I hear of? | 17:08 |
| blazemore | PK: Pango is a library for laying out and rendering of text, with an emphasis on internationalization. | 17:08 |
| [TiZ] | Nothing you will likely have to deal with directly. It's pretty well integrated into GTK. | 17:08 |
| PK | blazemore: Ah! Are you a bot? Because you type fast. | 17:09 |
| tottto-drummond | blazemore thanks.. I have a Belkin F9L1103 usb wifi adaptor I tried to get it to work with Ndiswrapper. but it doesn t seem to work. When I do lsusb ubuntu does recognizes it | 17:10 |
| MonkeyDust | PK you didnt accept any advice, what is it that you want? | 17:11 |
| PK | MonkeyDust I just need an alternative to PyGTK because there are not a lot of good tutorials that I want. | 17:12 |
| caglar | is there any body can help me? | 17:12 |
| MonkeyDust | caglar if you're sweet | 17:12 |

| robbie | how can I set pulse volume control as the default volume control instead of the one that usually is in sound prefs? | 17:13 |
| robbie | the system sound control cant handle volume sliders for 5.1 audio | 17:13 |
| tottto-drummond | blazemore any clue on how I can get it to work | 17:13 |
| caglar | it is hyprid with intel ati driver | 17:13 |
| robbie | at least not digital 5.1 | 17:13 |
| blazemore | PK I'm not a bot | 17:14 |
| blazemore | (slow enough for you :P) | 17:14 |
| blazemore | tottto-drummond: What version of Ubuntu are you running? | 17:15 |
| tottto-drummond | blazemore 12.10 | 17:15 |
| blazemore | tottto-drummond: What happens if you run sudo modprobe rt2800usb | 17:16 |
| lahwran | if I do sudo apt-get install fglrx, then it should activate automatically, correct? and if I later do sudo apt-get remove fglrx then it should then revert to the open source driver automatically, correct? | 17:17 |
| blazemore | lahwran: In theory, yes | 17:17 |
| Aleksander | Hello. I've bought Humble Indie Bundle V with SuperMeatBoy and I'm trying to install with via Ubuntu Software Center, but it keeps downloading 277 instead of ~170 mb version of amd64 DEB. Why is that? | 17:17 |
| lahwran | blazemore: do you have experiences with it not working, or are you just being cautious with your recommendations? | 17:17 |
| blazemore | lahwran: I tend to screw around a lot so my breakages are probably my own | 17:18 |
| blazemore | lahwran: As long as you stick to the package manager and don't try installing from AMD themselves, you'll be golden | 17:18 |
| L3top | lahwran: not exactly... to remove fglrx you have to purge and reinstall some things. | 17:18 |
| lahwran | blazemore: blah. I was curious because I want to try fglrx, see how it works, and if it doesn't switch to official catalyst | 17:18 |
| fotographix | after days of searching to simply replace/swap a graphics card in ubuntu i have come to no conclusion, anyone know of a how to url, or any support options for hardware in ubuntu? | 17:18 |
| tottto-drummond | blazemore let me try | 17:18 |
| blazemore | fglrx is official catalyst | 17:19 |
| === doh is now known as Guest34433 | ||
| lahwran | but according to apt-cache show it's like 5 versions out of date | 17:19 |
| blazemore | tottto-drummond: be quick, I need to go home in 10 minutes | 17:19 |
| blazemore | lahwran: the "fglrx-updates" package might be more your speed? | 17:19 |
| MonkeyDust | fotographix start here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport | 17:19 |
| fotographix | thank you | 17:20 |
| L3top | lahwran: what version of ubuntu are you on and what is the output of lspci -nn | grep VGA | 17:20 |
| lahwran | blazemore: that's also version 8.960, whereas http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx is no less than four major versions ahead | 17:20 |
| lahwran | L3top: 12.04.1 installed a few days ago, and gimme a minute, I'm on irc from a different computer | 17:20 |
| lahwran | L3top: what does -nn do? | 17:21 |
| L3top | lahwran: see my pm on reverting from fglrx to radeon driver | 17:21 |
| lahwran | oh, I see | 17:21 |
| L3top | -nn = all numbers as well | 17:21 |
| caglar | but i have another problem | 17:21 |
| blazemore | lahwran: cd /tmp && wget -c http://goo.gl/Bbeki -O catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.zip && unzip catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.zip && chmod +x amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.run && sudo sh amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.run | 17:21 |
| caglar | it does not solve mine | 17:21 |
| tottto-drummond | blazemore nothing happens | 17:22 |
| lahwran | blazemore: okay, what does that do? it looks to me like it's just the commandline version of a normal install | 17:22 |
| caglar | because ati dont support my signature it says you need to talk with provider of your computer it means sony | 17:22 |
| Guest34433 | Guys, is there a workaround for the non working fn+F5 brightness control on a laptop? | 17:22 |
| tottto-drummond | blazemore when I open ndiswrapper it says that I have rt2870 | 17:22 |
| Guest34433 | I am blinded :( | 17:23 |
| blazemore | lahwran: Yeah but it's the latest version from AMD's website, rather than the one packaged for Ubuntu | 17:23 |
| blazemore | Guest34433: I believe there's a brightness applet, if you alt-rightclick on your top bar and click add | 17:23 |
| lahwran | blazemore: yes, that's what I mean, I understand how to do that ._. | 17:23 |
| Guest34433 | 10x man | 17:23 |
| blazemore | OK I have to go | 17:23 |
| blazemore | good luck Guest34433 and lahwran | 17:23 |
| MonkeyDust | Guest34433 the workaround is in the system settings, brightness and lock | 17:23 |
| tottto-drummond | blazemore and if I do sudo modprobe rt2870usb then I get a FATAL: rt2870usb not found | 17:24 |
| Guest34433 | MonkeyDust, this doesn't work, hence me asking | 17:24 |
| blazemore | tottto-drummond: What happens if you run sudo modprobe rt2800usb | 17:24 |
| Guest34433 | sliders are moving, controls are showing on the screen, yet nothing seems to work | 17:25 |
| blazemore | Anyway you're on your own | 17:25 |
| tottto-drummond | blazemore as I said.. nothing | 17:25 |
| blazemore | Should have done that in the first place ;) | 17:25 |
| blazemore | gtg | 17:25 |
| skywolf | connect | 17:26 |
| Guest34433 | So, no way to manipulate brightness :( | 17:26 |

| lahwran | L3top: are you there? I got the lspci output as requested, what were you planning to find out | 17:30 |
| food1 | I installed Kernel 3.4 64bit .. Can anyone kindly confirm me that i installed it correct version? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1324200/ | 17:32 |
| L3top | that isnt exactly what I requested... but... lol ok... so make sure you purge the driver with the instructions I gave you, and give fglrx-updates a try. If you just want to revert then skip that lahwran. I am now tied up but will be around for quick questions. | 17:33 |
| lahwran | L3top: the only difference is that I didn't bother filtering for the graphics card | 17:33 |
| lahwran | L3top: more information is better and all that | 17:33 |

I just want what I want pasted here as often as possible because I am busy. | 17:37 |
| HulkHogan | food1: run uname -a | 17:38 |
| === lazzyz is now known as awillson | ||
| food1 | HulkHogan, it says 3.4.0-030400-generic but searching all kernel version it output "Linux kernel image for version 3.4.0 on 32 bit x86 SMP" where 3.2 says " Linux kernel image for version 3.2.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP" | 17:41 |
| Ascavasaion | HulkHogan: Okay, it asked me f I want to open the link with Apturl. I chose to, and then it popped up "Unknown channel 'precise-partner' The channel 'precise-partner' is not known". | 17:41 |
| HulkHogan | food1: if it says 3.4.0 then thats ur current kernel | 17:43 |
| food1 | HulkHogan, So it really 64 bit ? | 17:43 |
| trism | !partner | Ascavasaion | 17:43 |
| ubottu | Ascavasaion: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 17:43 |
| HulkHogan | Ascavasaion: u probally need to enable it in the software sources | 17:43 |

| Peter | Hello their! i would like to ask a question about ubuntu | 17:46 |
| juztus | does any use such on old PowerMacs? | 17:46 |
| HulkHogan | juztus: dont think they support those anymore | 17:46 |
| Peter | When i load ubuntu from a live usb stick, it takes a very very long time | 17:46 |
| food1 | HulkHogan, What can i understand from this description : Linux kernel image for version 3.4.0 on 32 bit x86 SMP | 17:46 |
| Peter | like 2 or 3 minutes, at least | 17:46 |
| Peter | do you know what is the problem? | 17:47 |
| Erik_D | Peter: your USB drive? | 17:47 |
| borg-queen | i am having trouble mounting my windows ntfs drive and fdisk does not see the harddrive either. I am running kubuntu which is installed on a SATA Raid 5 PCI controller card (no problems here) and I have Windows installed on a seperate physical harddrive (only ntfs partition on it) which is connected to my motherboard's SATA Port. | 17:47 |
| juztus | ok Hulk told me theyre outdated PC's (them(e) 'Parked'Macs.) | 17:47 |
| Peter | Yes, a linux live usb | 17:47 |
| HulkHogan | food1: yea thats a 32bit then | 17:47 |
| thepredator1994 | hi | 17:47 |
| Erik_D | hi | 17:47 |
| Erik_D | how are you | 17:47 |
| Erik_D | :/ | 17:47 |
| Peter | Erik_D: Yes, i am launching ubuntu from a live usb. but it takes a long time | 17:48 |
| HulkHogan | borg-queen: might need to install ntfsprogs or ntfstools forgot the name | 17:48 |
| Peter | it works but at the start screen (the purple screen with the ubuntu logo and the 4 dots) it takes like for 2 or 3 minutes | 17:48 |
| Erik_D | Peter: I meant your USB is probably the problem | 17:48 |
| Peter | Oh | 17:48 |
| Peter | what do you think i should do? right now i have 2 different usb sticks | 17:48 |
| juztus | how much better for a guru-geek is theBBS in comparison to this ubuntu? | 17:48 |
| Erik_D | USBs over, well, usb connections are much slower than hard drives over SATA | 17:49 |
| Peter | Is it possible to use any other type of USB device? | 17:49 |
| Peter | like a portable hard drive? | 17:49 |
| blazinbass | Is it possible that switching to Lbuntu has drastically lowered my download speeds? I swear my internet will no longer download anything above 100kbs a second | 17:49 |
| blazinbass | its incredibly slow | 17:49 |
| food1 | HulkHogan, I installed these http://paste.ubuntu.com/1324237/ ... But not understanding why it should 32bit .. Here i confused | 17:49 |
| borg-queen | HulkHogan: I installed ntfs-config which is the only ntfs package I could find | 17:49 |
| Peter | my computer does not have a cd drive | 17:49 |
| HulkHogan | borg-queen: did u enable the other non-free repositories? | 17:50 |
| juztus | probably mmany overly many disk configurations r possible but most produce a slow environment for Todays DigitalMedia-to-be transferred thsrough the electronics-32bit-channels | 17:50 |
| blazinbass | is it possible that lbuntu is limiting my download speeds? | 17:51 |
| HulkHogan | borg-queen: then u should be able to see the other packages | 17:51 |
| Erik_D | Peter: a drive might work better | 17:51 |
| Erik_D | Peter: Is an extra minute or 2 that big a deal? | 17:51 |
| Peter | What is a drive? a hard drive? | 17:51 |
| Peter | No | 17:51 |
| Erik_D | yeah | 17:51 |
| juztus | Express-PCI etc. dont yeat remove certain bottlenecks | 17:51 |
| Erik_D | Peter: Or try a lighter weight distro | 17:51 |

| Peter | the admins have a program called lanschool, so they can basicly own the computer | 17:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Erik_D: ubuntu minimal + openbox is insanely light | 17:52 |
| Peter | so i figuered, if i change the OS then they cant log everything | 17:52 |
| HulkHogan | food1: run aptitude search linux-headers , to see which one is installed | 17:52 |
| Peter | so yeah. it loads for a long time. is there anything i can do? | 17:52 |
| Erik_D | Peter: Also fun is getting damn small linux, loading to ram, and leaving | 17:53 |

| |Anthony| | like that | 18:32 |
| PK | Yes, it is 12.10 Unity. | 18:32 |
| thesadmafioso | Har, PK that's clever. | 18:32 |
| linuxuz3r | |Anthony|: maybe dd? | 18:32 |
| ActionParsnip | |Anthony|: you can use dd, clonezilla, grsync in liveCD | 18:32 |

| PK | Thank you. <tips hat> | 18:32 |
| thesadmafioso | Is there a command to delete folders with files still inside of them? | 18:33 |
| jrib | !cli | thesadmafioso | 18:33 |
| ubottu | thesadmafioso: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro | 18:33 |
| MonkeyDust | thesadmafioso rm -r | 18:33 |
| jrib | thesadmafioso: rm -r | 18:33 |
| |Anthony| | that might work if it was a simple dd if-/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb so i could get the mbr too. but the replacement hdd is smaller | 18:33 |
| thesadmafioso | Ah, so remove recursively? | 18:33 |
| thesadmafioso | Ok, I shall try that and then stop staring at this comptuer screen for the night. Thank you! | 18:34 |
| ActionParsnip | |Anthony|: use bs=1024 to speed it up a bit :) | 18:34 |
| linuxuz3r | ActionParsnip: but he said the replacement hdd is smaller | 18:34 |
| linuxuz3r | is it smaller? | 18:34 |
| PK | You people are smart. | 18:35 |
| |Anthony| | yes | 18:35 |
| |Anthony| | although... the 2 os's on the original are smaller than the replacement | 18:35 |
| |Anthony| | but the whole drive is larger | 18:35 |
| PK | |Anthony|: "yes" is not a replacement to "thank you". ;) | 18:35 |
| wilee-nilee | |Anthony|, Personally I would resize the original with gparted to fit then clone it with clonezilla then install in the new one, This serves two purposes you have a new hd set up and the clone for backup. | 18:35 |
| PK | I'm not running GNOME, so Terminal wouldn't accept the GNOME command. | 18:36 |
| linuxuz3r | |Anthony|: what wilee-nilee said | 18:36 |

| gordonjcp | PK: it wouldn't be on your local machine | 18:38 |

| PK | Oh Lord. | 18:39 |
| PK | Okay. | 18:40 |
| gordonjcp | PK: and as I said, ideally you'd install it on some hosted machine somewhere, run it in screen, and ssh to it | 18:40 |

| linuxuz3r | pk try searching for terminal on the dash | 18:40 |

| gordonjcp | PK: okay, I've now turned my desktop off, and I'm sitting on my PC in the van | 18:40 |
| gordonjcp | PK: did you see me disconnect and reconnect? No? That's because I didn't - I just dropped the ssh connection on one machine, connected from another, and reattached screen | 18:41 |
| linuxuz3r | gordonjcp: what does screen do? | 18:41 |
| PK | I don't really follow those "joined," and "left" messages. | 18:41 |
| gordonjcp | linuxuz3r: it provides a virtual console that you can disconnect and reattach | 18:42 |
| linuxuz3r | gordonjcp: using what connection? | 18:42 |
| linuxuz3r | ssh? | 18:42 |
| PK | Which one works on Ubuntu again? tar.bz or tar.gz? | 18:42 |
| gordonjcp | yeah | 18:42 |
| MonkeyDust | linuxuz3r you can even terminate terminal and log off, screen keeps running | 18:42 |
| linuxuz3r | pk both | 18:42 |
| linuxuz3r | ok | 18:43 |

| sarutahiko | ActionParsnip: now my prompt is "\[\e]0;\u@\h: \w\a\]\u@\h:\w$" | 18:47 |

| OpenSorce | Here's a crazy question, I shoved Lubuntu down this Compaq TC1000's windows compatible little throat. I'm thinking 10.04 is too much for it I want to go with 9.01. Is there an easy way to downgrade? | 19:52 |
| gordonjcp | Linkandzelda: I stuck fail2ban on it because I got annoyed with Chinese skript kiddies hammering away at port 22, but that's about it | 19:52 |
| Linkandzelda | gordonjcp: well things like CSF, clamav, spam assassin etc. | 19:52 |

| Linkandzelda | web* | 19:53 |
| evilbetty | well it happens on ubuntu server ;) | 19:54 |
| gordonjcp | Linkandzelda: right, but I take it clamav is for scanning mail for people on Windows? | 19:54 |
| OpenSorce | I know I know, old and unsupported version but this thing is too slow on 10.04 | 19:54 |
| gordonjcp | OpenSorce: it's going to be slow on just about anything | 19:54 |
| bazhang | evilbetty, this is NOT the random chat channel. please stop it | 19:54 |
| Linkandzelda | gordonjcp: I guess it scans mail and files as well | 19:54 |
| gordonjcp | OpenSorce: there is absolutely no difference in speed between any of the versions of Ubuntu, assuming you run roughly the same UI | 19:54 |

| gordonjcp | OpenSorce: sounds like you might want to try some other distro then | 19:56 |
| evilbetty | happened 2x so i doubt its coincidence, and as its a VPS i lost all access to it | 19:56 |

| evilbetty | and its not iptables blocking, its actually ubuntu not booting fully, but without real access i cannot see what happens | 19:57 |
| Linkandzelda | willdabeast: use top command or isntall htop? | 19:57 |
| OpenSorce | gogeta1, LFS? Linux From Scratch? May be before your time :-) | 19:58 |

| OpenSorce | gogeta1, No worries, I was trying to downgrade from 10.04 on this tablet with Transmeta Crusoe TC5800 proc, 256mb ram | 19:59 |
| OpenSorce | gogeta1, I've been assured that the earlier distros will not run any faster so I'll leave it alone | 19:59 |
| gogeta1 | OpenSorce: may i suggest bodhi linux for that | 20:00 |
| evilbetty | i probably shouldnt be saying it in this channel, but instead of trying to make ubuntu work faster isn't it easier using debian? | 20:00 |
| evilbetty | it looks and feels like ubnutu but is faster | 20:00 |

| evilbetty | if i remove fail2ban from startupservices after install and before reboot everything goes fine, but if not i loose the box completely | 20:01 |
| OpenSorce | Just such a pain to put anything on this tablet. No removable media drives, will not boot from USB... Netboot worked after several attempts though :-) | 20:02 |

| wilee-nilee | willdabeast, What release is this 12.10 | 20:46 |
| willdabeast | because at one point unity and the above panel didn't even show up | 20:46 |
| willdabeast | 12.04 | 20:46 |
| wilee-nilee | willdabeast, You want to run that command from a alt-f2 not the terminal. | 20:47 |
| willdabeast | wilee-nilee ahhh, so do you think that is the root of the problem? or at least for the unity issue? | 20:48 |
| wilee-nilee | willdabeast, as well there is compiz --replace to reset it. Not sure as far as all the problems | 20:49 |
| willdabeast | wilee-nilee ok I think that should work, should both commands be done in alt f2? or does compiz not matter | 20:49 |
| wilee-nilee | willdabeast, I gave up on unity and compiz about a year ago. | 20:49 |
| fusk | i'm trying to edit a file in etc/pm/sleep.d but gksudo gedit doesn't work | 20:50 |
| willdabeast | wilee-nilee what are you using now? docky or something? | 20:50 |
| wilee-nilee | willdabeast, gnome 3 and cairo dock | 20:50 |
| OpenSorce | fusk why not do sudo nano /etc/pm/sleep.d from a terminal? | 20:50 |
| wilee-nilee | willdabeast, the gnome-shell | 20:50 |
| willdabeast | wilee-nilee hmm I'd be willing to try that out, Unity still feels like it's in beta to me. | 20:51 |
| wilee-nilee | willdabeast, Honestly I use synapse to find apps usually and the cairo-dock for the stuff I open often. | 20:52 |
| === morphis|away is now known as morphis | ||
| willdabeast | wilee-nilee yea I do have synapse, It's just sitting there right now though haha, wouldn't mind using it for once. | 20:53 |
| fusk | OpenSorce, how does the options work, i tried typing ^o but it didn't save it. | 20:53 |
| willdabeast | wilee-nilee any place in particular to find gnome 3? I think at this point you already know how new I am to this stuff | 20:55 |
| bcuraboy | hi guys.what can i do about this? Unable to load X Server Display Configuration page: The NVIDIA X driver on bcuraboy:0.0 is not new enough to support the nvidia-settings Display Configuration page. | 20:55 |
| willdabeast | bcuraboy do you have the correct driver activated? | 20:55 |
| bcuraboy | yes,i'm using the recommended from the system | 20:56 |
| wilee-nilee | willdabeast, If you want to install it, sudo apt-get install gnome-shell you also get the gnome fallback with kit as well the pseudo gnome 2 desktop as a choice in the login drop down | 20:56 |
| bcuraboy | when i go to additional drivers i've installed the recommended | 20:56 |
| wols | bcuraboy: you have mixed packages it seems. which ubuntu are you running? | 20:56 |
| wilee-nilee | it* | 20:56 |
| bcuraboy | 12.04 | 20:56 |
| === pedro_ is now known as Guest68967 | ||
| wilee-nilee | willdabeast, Unity actually sits on top of gnome 3 so the shell is just a few more pckgs. | 20:57 |
| willdabeast | wilee-nilee well apparently I already have it *facepalm* | 20:57 |
| willdabeast | wilee-nilee haha yea I guess I'm good then, just need cairo and to get rid of the excess. | 20:57 |
| ActionParsnip | bcuraboy: tried: sudo nvidia-xconfig | 20:58 |
| bcuraboy | done it now.should i logout or reboot? | 20:59 |
| ActionParsnip | bcuraboy: i'd reboot, if you get no disaply then boot to root recovery mode and delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 20:59 |
| willdabeast | wilee-nilee any particular way I should remove unity and compiz? I feel like everything I try and get rid of on here is like removing an antivirus program on windows. | 21:00 |
| bcuraboy | ok.just tell me if necessary,how to get in root recovery | 21:00 |
| nconrads_ | Upgrading 12.04 to 12.10 and getting stuck on flashplugin-installer. Killing job puts system into position where it supposedly requires 'dpkg --configure -a'. Any method available to prevent Ubuntu from trying to get flashplugin? | 21:00 |
| wilee-nilee | willdabeast, I would not remove them they are rather small, and doing this is just a problem waiting to happen with dependencies. | 21:00 |
| fusk | i'm trying to edit a file in etc/pm/sleep.d but gksudo gedit doesn't work | 21:01 |
| === Youri is now known as YBook | ||
| willdabeast | wilee-nilee ok well I guess I will just reset them then like you said, btw cairo is awesome great call. | 21:01 |

| willdabeast | wilee-nilee so is there anyway to at least make unity not visible? I'd rather not have 2 docks | 21:04 |
| dr_willis | that means ctrl x fusk..... ;-) | 21:04 |
| OpenSorce | fusk yeah, that means press and hold ctrl and hit x one time | 21:04 |

| drewh | hey everyone! I'm having an issue I THINK with Unity. I was trying to get my NVIDIA thing to display my two monitors as separate X screens (rather than twinview) and now my UI is a bit weird. some of the chrome is coming up black and the alt+tab is not pretty | 21:12 |

| hayate | tadi petunjuknya wilee-nilee, no .. i'm not using backtrack | 21:13 |
| torontoyes | wilee-nilee: is there a way to skip this.. whatever this is? | 21:14 |
| torontoyes | what I mean is.. how do I see why this is coming up and stop whatever this is so that it skips it? | 21:15 |
| hayate | dr_willis: thanks, i would try that | 21:15 |
| torontoyes | wilee-nilee: is there a way to skip this in the boot process? | 21:15 |
| wilee-nilee | torontoyes, I would not know really I have not had this problem, I generally know what I have had to do, and I keep my OS's cloned and in good shape and don't mess with problems past the time it takes to reload a clone. | 21:15 |
| torontoyes | wilee-nilee: lol | 21:15 |

| wilee-nilee | drewh, In other words have you done anything that has led you to not having the animations, like graphic drivers messing with compiz....etc | 21:19 |
| drewh | I was messing with compiz, but I've reverted that | 21:19 |
| wilee-nilee | mpavel, Is this a direct install or a remote? | 21:20 |

| mpavel | wilee-nilee: tried to install (lubuntu 12.10) several times, from USB & CD and no luck. then I booted from live CD and ran Boot Repair, which allowed me to FINALLY boot the system up (which I'm using now) but only from the guest account :( | 21:21 |
| wilee-nilee | mpavel, If it were me I would just install again trying to fix it will take longer probably, but I just go with time spent generally against fixing | 21:22 |
| wilee-nilee | mpavel, This a fairly new computer possibly using a UEFI bios as far as the boot problem. | 21:22 |
| === Oblivious is now known as obli-AWAY | ||
| mpavel | wilee-nilee: yeah, but I already went through the install process 5 times :(( I might try something else like Linux Mint - it's my dad's old computer that I wanted to install something light | 21:23 |

| hhhzzzarn | bennis, have you activated the usb boot option for your computer? | 22:04 |
| bennis | gunbert, indeed i have | 22:04 |

| bennis | dr_willis, the purpose of this is to display to a nonprofit how linux can be made to look like windows | 22:04 |
| hhhzzzarn | bennis, you have to move your usb booting option ahead of hard disk in the boot order. | 22:04 |
| bennis | hhhzzzarn yes, the bios is giving some "remove all disks then push any button to reboot" error | 22:04 |
| bennis | hhhzzzarn guntbert asked that same thing, i'm pretty sure | 22:05 |
| guntbert | bennis: 2nd question: does it boot from the stick at all (with errors) ? | 22:05 |
| hhhzzzarn | bennis, I am not familiar with that error. | 22:05 |
| dr_willis | sounds like the bios is not seeing the OS on the stick. | 22:05 |

| dr_willis | test the stick in other pc's try alternative tools to unetbootin. | 22:06 |
| bennis | dr_willis yeah, but is it a format issue or do i just need a *nix box to do it properly? i assume the partition doesn't have the boot flag for some reason | 22:06 |

| Steelcased_Sambo | Hello. | 22:09 |
| hhhzzzarn | guntbert, in xubuntu in general. | 22:09 |
| guntbert | hhhzzzarn: make xubuntu non-fullscreen? sounds weird :) | 22:10 |
| Steelcased_Sambo | I downloaded Ubuntu, installed it to my netbook, decided I wanted to go back to Windows and used Darik's Boot and Nuke to get rid of Ubuntu... And now Syslinux Insane Primary (MBR) partition won't allow me to boot from the SD card I have Windows on. I used GParted to get rid of all the partitions on my HDD but it did not work. Can anyone help? | 22:11 |
| dr_willis | http://www.keyxl.com/aaac887/409/Xfce-Window-Manager-keyboard-shortcuts.htm | 22:11 |
| hhhzzzarn | guntbert, I click on the window options and choose fullscreen, now I don't see the option icon or the minimize, resize, close buttons. | 22:12 |
| dr_willis | you use a windows disk/usb/tools to reinstall the windows bootloader to the mbr Steelcased_Sambo | 22:12 |
| jakup | Hi. My speakers don't mute when I insert headphones, and alsamixer doesn't help... Heelp :) | 22:12 |
| guntbert | hhhzzzarn: I see - does the list from dr_willis help? ^^^ | 22:13 |
| Steelcased_Sambo | dr_willis - How do I do that? I have a laptop, a netbook and an SD card. I am semi-competent at best. | 22:13 |
| lazarus_ | quick question is there a way to gut ubuntu to connecto to a server that is using web deploy | 22:13 |
| hhhzzzarn | guntbert, i am looking | 22:13 |
| jakup | It's possible for me to mute speaker in alsamixer, but I'm installing ubuntu on a friends computer, who is a complete computer retard, so I can't tell her to go into alsamixer everytime she needs to use headphones | 22:14 |
| dr_willis | Steelcased_Sambo: people in #windows may be able to suggest some tools. | 22:14 |
| Steelcased_Sambo | Thank you. | 22:14 |
| hhhzzzarn | duntbert, yes it did. Thanks dr_willis, could search myself but I could not access my xubuntu menu | 22:14 |
| T3 | does anybody knows the right channel for bonding/vlan tagging doubts? | 22:15 |
| dr_willis | hhhzzzarn: i just googled for 'xfce keyboard shortcuts' ;P | 22:15 |
| guntbert | T3: try ##networking | 22:15 |
| T3 | thanks guntbert | 22:16 |
| wilee-nilee | Steelcased_Sambo, When you use boot and nuke you need to make a new partition table. | 22:16 |

| Jacob_P | And this is using wubi | 22:39 |
| wilee-nilee | Jacob_P, YOU have already tried what I would suggest which is the nomodeset to get in to load graphic drivers. | 22:40 |
| Jacob_P | Those parameters get me a bit farther, I see the ubuntu splash screen, but when I get to what I assume is the login screen, it goes black | 22:41 |
| wilee-nilee | Jacob_P, Grub is different in a wubi so I'm not sure that works. | 22:41 |
| Jacob_P | Should I uninstall wubi then and attempt the usb option? | 22:41 |
| hhhzzzarn | jacob_p: what computer are you installing on? | 22:42 |

| guntbert | alexfpms: no need to reboot, the user must only log out, and log in again | 23:29 |
| jrib | svspl: please warn people that that removes users from all their groups | 23:29 |
| jrib | svspl: (or better: suggest « adduser USER GROUP ») | 23:29 |
| alexfpms | guntbert, ok it simpler. But i'm curious if there some way to reload the changes without log out, log in ? | 23:29 |
| svspl | then usermod -G -a | 23:30 |
| alexfpms | svspl, thanks but i know how to add the user to the group | 23:31 |
| guntbert | alexfpms: no, group membership is only applied at login, not during a session, that applies to all linux/UNIX OS | 23:31 |
| alexfpms | guntbert, thanks, it is more clear now | 23:32 |
| jrib | newgrp :) | 23:32 |
| jrib | (though it doesn't do what you want probably) | 23:32 |
| guntbert | alexfpms: You're welcome | 23:32 |
| alexfpms | jrib, good try but it doesn't reload group members | 23:38 |
| satwood | how can one mount a truecrypt drive during boot time as early as possible | 23:39 |
| wilee-nilee | satwood, You trying to mount it open with the password? | 23:42 |
| slackme | Hey all. I was wondering if there is an easy way to open a .iso that is already packaged into a bootable vmware image. | 23:43 |
| slackme | So that I can get the contents. | 23:43 |
| satwood | wilee-nilee: yes, because i cant supply it at boot time, i want the truecrypt drive to come up by itself without manual intervention | 23:43 |
| ekaj | Is the US mirror down or something? | 23:43 |
| wilee-nilee | satwood, Kinda defeats the use of it anyone could get in don't you think? | 23:43 |
| zykotick9 | !iso > slackme | 23:44 |
| ubottu | slackme, please see my private message | 23:44 |
| devart | hi | 23:44 |
| satwood | wilee-nilee: yes, i don't konw how else to do automatically (without it asking) upon boot up. | 23:44 |
| wilee-nilee | satwood, With a quick look at the web I think you need a script to be run, I can't really help beyond that. I use truecrypt, but I just encrypted a file rather then a HD. | 23:45 |
| satwood | wilee-nilee: ok, i do have a init.d script, i am trying to see how to start this before any other scripts | 23:46 |
| wilee-nilee | satwood, Cool I can't really help sorry. | 23:47 |
| devart | has anyone encountered the problem during fresh ubuntu 12.04 install the system freezes every time? | 23:47 |
| devart | checksum is good, and no errors found on the diskc | 23:48 |
| dr_willis | during the install it freezes? or after a fresh install.. | 23:48 |
| wilee-nilee | devart, You just getting a black screen maybe not an actual freeze. | 23:48 |
| dr_willis | freezes where exctly.. | 23:48 |
| devart | neh. | 23:48 |
| devart | during the installation... after format, gets to approx 40% of the progress bar and freeze... Ive thought it takes a long time to get passed that portion of the install so i waiting a good hour and nothing happening with no keyboard activity (num- light not active) | 23:49 |
| === LAP_ is now known as Guest73269 | ||
| devart | i can type, where i am for timezone | 23:50 |
| devart | and setup user | 23:50 |
| devart | but then freeze | 23:50 |
| dr_willis | so just the installer hangs? not the whole OS? | 23:50 |
| devart | dr_willis: i can run the live cd- but install crashes, crashes by just freezing... because of this encounter im using the 11.10 kubuntu | 23:52 |
| dr_willis | i think your definition of freezing is confuseing people... | 23:52 |
| devart | dr_willis: IM NOT 100% sure.. but I think that a problem may have occured on my hard drive somehow after having Fedora 17 installed | 23:52 |
| dr_willis | the Installer just stops? or does the entire machine stop as well? can you still type.move mouse, and run apps after the imnstaller hangs> | 23:53 |
| basketballstar | can i sync a flash drive with ubuntu 1 | 23:53 |
| dr_willis | if you repartione/formated the Fedora install its gone and cant really be affecting stuff., | 23:53 |
| wilee-nilee | basketballstar, I think the sync has to be under the users files | 23:54 |
| ControllerSYR | hello | 23:54 |
| |Glitch| | 123 | 23:54 |
| [twisti] | hi, i tried to install jenkins, but it has almost 150 dependencies, its just a war file, whats wrong here ? | 23:54 |
| Lunar_Lander__ | hello, a marginally related question | 23:54 |
| ControllerSYR | 456 | 23:54 |
| Lunar_Lander__ | where is a good place to ask about gnuplot issues? | 23:55 |
| ControllerSYR | i need to open tor-browser_ar | 23:55 |
| devart | dr_willis: fedora released an update which would allow fedora to load partially, but before the splash(loading)screen would complete it would drop to terminal with errors, but no command line and frozen... no keyboard activity....... anyhow after this wouldnt correct i decided to format and install ubuntu 12 again and work around the unity-desktop --- as per the ubuntu 12.04 install, I am able to load the cd, enter live cd if i | 23:55 |
| devart | choose, and start the installer...... the installed suggests the partitioning and formats then prepares for install.. during prepapre for install then prompts for location to get time zone, then username, and password etc... | 23:55 |
| dr_willis | !info jenkins | 23:55 |
| ubottu | jenkins (source: jenkins): Continuous Integration and Job Scheduling Server. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.466.1+dfsg-0ubuntu2 (quantal), package size 12 kB, installed size 98 kB | 23:55 |
| ControllerSYR | it is open with gedit | 23:56 |
| dr_willis | devart: sounds like the details of the issues are pointing to some common hardware issue. | 23:56 |
| ControllerSYR | i need open start-tor-browser | 23:56 |
| devart | dr_willis: after all input is entered the installing progress bar will FREEZE, no mouse movement, no keyboard activity, light on the num-pad doesnt not function, ctrl+alt+delete no funct., and if i reboot my computer hangs on ram count until i shut down for a short duration | 23:56 |
| [twisti] | dr_willis: where you trying to tell me something with that ? because if so, i didnt get it | 23:56 |
| ControllerSYR | it is open with gedit | 23:56 |
| ControllerSYR | ineed to open it with shell | 23:57 |
| ControllerSYR | like .exe in windows | 23:57 |
| === fred_ is now known as Guest51676 | ||
| dr_willis | ControllerSYR: if you mean you need to make the script executable . then you set the permissions/executable bit on it... | 23:57 |
| basketballstar | what is the user files | 23:57 |
| wilee-nilee | basketballstar, The files on the OS | 23:58 |
| basketballstar | wilee-nilee, | 23:58 |
| wilee-nilee | in that users account basketballstar | 23:58 |
| dr_willis | [twisti]: somthing seems odd with your 'its just a war file' and the package descrition of it being some sort of 'server' - but ive never used it.. | 23:58 |
| ControllerSYR | i cant edit permissions | 23:59 |
| basketballstar | how do i move a flash drive there then | 23:59 |
| dr_willis | if the file is owned by your user you could... | 23:59 |
| [twisti] | its a server. comes as a war file. runs with just java installed, as far as i know. i suppose im going to have to install it manually if the package is this broken, im not installing 142 dependencies for something that runs completely standalone | 23:59 |
| devart | well thanks for the help dr_willis | 23:59 |
| devart | <3 | 23:59 |
