| Muska | hoping maybe someone can help in here, I asked in the xen channel but no luck. I did a fresh install of ubuntu 12.04 amd64, then installed xen per the instructions on ubuntus site (was really easy). I then rebooted and found that the console was just spewing full of repeated text from dmesg. This only happens after I get to the login prompt and then I am unable to use the console. | 00:11 |
| Muska | I can however ssh into the server no problem | 00:11 |

| Muska | yeats, that is correct. It doesn't seem like they are new messages just a lot of old ones repeating on the screen in a chaotic manner. This only started happening after I performed the steps to install Xen | 00:22 |
| OerHeks | Barilise, there is just one file called Foldit | 00:22 |

| woot-0854 | dd if=/location/ubu-.iso of=/dev/sda1 e.g. | 00:44 |
| phunyguy_t430s | seems like a weird way to install woot-0854 but is it to eliminate Ubuntu as the problem? | 00:45 |

| dishe | like, if running firefox and surfing, I can't click anything outside of the browser (volume, settings, another application, etc) | 00:46 |

| jpds | woot-0854: What is writing an ISO to the hard disk going to do to help? | 00:47 |
| dishe | if manage to switch the context to another application (by using keyboard shortcuts) I can sometimes get the mouse to respond outside of the browser, but then it won't let me click within in. | 00:47 |
| dishe | This behavior isn't limited to the browser. It seems to be OS-wide. The mouse gets stuck inside of a particular context | 00:47 |

| netroby | see what it show up | 02:38 |
| mark__ | Hey whats the best way to learn on your own about the basics of ubuntu? | 02:39 |
| mark__ | Is there something i should read? | 02:39 |
| Recombobulator | Netroby, I get this: "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [GeForce 310M] (rev a2)." | 02:39 |
| almoxarife | Recombobulator: i have a home entertainment computer with nvidia graphics, oneiric even, two apps that need to be installed to keep updates simple are, ,'nvidia-current' and 'dkms' | 02:39 |
| hilo | is there a way to monitor a file in /proc in realtime? | 02:40 |
| Recombobulator | Alright, I am going to try reinstalling the drivers. | 02:40 |
| Recombobulator | I will check back with you, hopefully. | 02:40 |
| almoxarife | mark__: the ubuntu server manual is a good d/l to use as a reference | 02:40 |
| netroby | @Recombobulator , you may also see /var/log/Xorg.0.log , see what cause error | 02:41 |
| mark__ | thanks almox | 02:41 |
| Ben64 | how can I disable the button on my keyboard that suspends the system? I want it to activate the screensaver instead. | 02:41 |
| mark__ | ill google it r now | 02:41 |
| netroby | cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | less | 02:41 |
| almoxarife | !gnome-system-log | 02:42 |
| netroby | @Recombobulator , you may see something like : [ 20.224] (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0) | 02:42 |

| chnops | almoxarife, I managed to get X to use the vesa driver and now I can just install it through the "additional drivers" window, so I guess all should be ok now, thanks for your help :) | 02:44 |
| almoxarife | chnops: you used 'jockey' ? | 02:45 |
| chnops | I'm not sure what that is | 02:45 |
| ubuntu_user32 | Hey if anyone's able to help I have a problem that I don't quite know how to describe enough to make a post on ubuntuforums. While doing certain tasks in Ubuntu 12.04, the screen will just go black and I'll be presented with the login screen. Anybody know what might be causing this? | 02:45 |
| almoxarife | chnops: i think you used jockey, cool | 02:45 |
| chnops | ah, ok :p | 02:45 |
| almoxarife | !jockey | 02:46 |
| almoxarife | ? | 02:46 |
| phong_ | anyone familiar with svn? | 02:46 |
| chnops | hum, nvidia kernel module is still now loaded | 02:47 |
| Stanley00 | !anyone > phong_ | 02:47 |
| ubottu | phong_, please see my private message | 02:47 |
| chnops | and 'modprobe nvidia' gives 'FATAL: Module nvidia_experimental_304 not found.' | 02:47 |
| chnops | s/still now/still not/ | 02:47 |
| Ben64 | chnops: how did you install nvidia? | 02:49 |
| almoxarife | chnops: i would assume that the module is not part of nvidia-current? | 02:49 |
| chnops | I used the "additional drivers" window thingy | 02:49 |
| chnops | though maybe I should not have picked the experimental one | 02:50 |
| almoxarife | chnops: what driver did the 'thingy' install? | 02:50 |
| almoxarife | chnops: btw, the thingy is 'jockey' | 02:50 |
| chnops | good question, I think it did say something but I don't recall exactly, something with nvidia-current-experimental or updates | 02:50 |
| chnops | unity doesn't come up at the moment so I can't check | 02:50 |
| chnops | (gets stuck on empty desktop after login) | 02:51 |
| chnops | checking apt's logs | 02:51 |
| chnops | nvidia-experimental-304:amd64 is what it installed it seems | 02:52 |
| chnops | I did install something nvidia related from the terminal before | 02:52 |
| chnops | let me just paste the log entries, hang on | 02:52 |
| chnops | http://pastebin.com/HGufSHQy (the entry from 03:44 is from jockey I think) | 02:57 |
| chnops | the other things I did from the terminal myself | 02:57 |
| chnops | oh: "Module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed." | 02:59 |
| chnops | I guess that's the problem | 02:59 |
| chnops | I guess jockey normally takes care of that, but I messed things up by manually running apt-get? :p | 02:59 |
| Recombobulator | I have solved my problem with the NVIDIA drivers, it seems! I reinstalled the drivers, and installed the package "linux-headers-3.5.0-18-generic." I think the problem is that there was a kernel update, which threw the drivers off. Thanks for your help, whoever helped me! | 03:00 |
| almoxarife | headers are not installed by default? | 03:01 |
| chnops | hum, I did get a kernel update too, I guess | 03:01 |
| chnops | I have 3.5.0-17-generic and 3.5.0-18-generic installed | 03:02 |
| almoxarife | chnops: look at the 'man' for dkms , i forget which option is for 'status' , if dkms is seeing your nvidia module your problems are solved as far as kernel updates | 03:03 |
| chnops | $ dkms status | 03:03 |
| chnops | nvidia-experimental-304, 304.48: added | 03:03 |
| chnops | though 'modprobe nvidia' says the module was not found | 03:04 |
| almoxarife | chnops: cool | 03:04 |
| chnops | (xorg log contains an error too from nvidia_drv.so not finding the kernel module) | 03:04 |
| almoxarife | chnops: install 'inxi' and then run inxi -G | 03:07 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| chnops | hm, says unable to locate package inxi | 03:08 |
| chnops | if I try apt-get install | 03:08 |
| cjae | where is the 12.10 update? | 03:09 |
| cjae | i see no option to upgrade to 12.10 | 03:10 |
| cjae | !1210 | 03:11 |
| jiltdil | How do i protect my single usermode in ubuntu , don't want to use grub password. Is there any way to do this? | 03:11 |
| chnops | almoxarife, ok I got it working now | 03:11 |
| almoxarife | chnops: share the output, lets see what you got | 03:11 |
| chnops | I did the same thing Recombobulator mentioned, installed linux-headers-3.5.0-18-generic, then reinstalled nvidia-experimental-304 and now it works | 03:12 |
| chnops | ah no I didn't actually get inxi to install | 03:12 |
| almoxarife | chnops: i don't get it, i thought headers were installed by default | 03:12 |
| chnops | yeah, weird | 03:13 |
| chnops | it's entirely possible I screwed something up somehow | 03:13 |
| simplew | where is possible who have done ubuntu one translations? | 03:14 |
| ubuntu637 | Hey, I'm about to finish an ubuntu install on my laptop and I'm wondering, there are two graphics drivers here; an intel driver for the main screen display and an extra VGA and HDMI adapter which are controlled by the Nvidia Geforce 540M chipset. I've got two graphics makes on my laptop, so how will I install both drivers? I've only ever dealt with one nvidia driver in the past. | 03:14 |
| almoxarife | chnops: i don't think so, you are not the only person who mentions having to install headers. | 03:14 |
| chnops | ah | 03:14 |
| almoxarife | i never was without headers | 03:14 |
| almoxarife | and i didn't know to have them to begin with, did learn later why i had to have them | 03:15 |
| jiltdil | Any One Have No Idea? | 03:15 |
| almoxarife | jiltdil: ask the question again | 03:16 |
| jiltdil | How do i protect my single usermode in ubuntu , don't want to use grub password. Is there any way to do this? | 03:16 |
| jiltdil | almoxarife, | 03:16 |
| maetthew | Urgent problem: I started a 'do-release-upgrade' through SSH. Then the SSH connection died. Before the installation it said something about that it started it in a duplicate SSH session with a port number. Anyone know that port number? | 03:16 |
| Erin | im banging my head against the wall trying to get my ubuntu w/ nginx to download a file from one of the locally mounted HD's , all it does is download the index.html file.... | 03:17 |
| almoxarife | jiltdil: i have no clue what that means, over my head | 03:17 |
| metap0d | Hi everyone, I tried to install ubuntu with a flash drive but part way through the install it said my image was corrupt. It looks like GRUB only partially installed on my hard drive. I found a boot repair tool to fix grub except that my windows partition is missing | 03:19 |
| metap0d | could help me to fix grub from inside my ubuntu live cd? | 03:19 |
| metap0d | i don't have another computer use to make another bootable usb | 03:19 |
| almoxarife | maetthew: port-sniff your server, locate the open port | 03:19 |
| metap0d | i'm trying to update grub from inside my ubuntu live cd | 03:19 |
| metap0d | to include my windows partition / os | 03:19 |
| bobweaver | metap0d, so you are on live cd ? | 03:20 |
| metap0d | bobweaver: right now i'm talking on the live cd from a java applet | 03:20 |
| bobweaver | metap0d, can you paste the output of sudo fdisk -l | 03:20 |
| bobweaver | !pastebin | metap0d | 03:20 |
| ubottu | metap0d: 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. | 03:20 |

| muji | hello, would any1 know how i can upgrade my o.s without having to redownload the iso onto a cd and reinstalling? | 03:20 |
| bobweaver | Oo | 03:21 |
| xangua | !upgrade | muji | 03:21 |
| ubottu | muji: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 03:21 |
| metap0d | bobweaver: I do see the "210gb filesystem" on my desktop which is my windows partition | 03:21 |
| bobweaver | metap0d, pastebin ? | 03:21 |
| metap0d | bobweaver: Sorry what would you like on pastebin | 03:22 |
| bobweaver | metap0d, sudo apt-get -y install pastebinit && sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit | 03:22 |
| bobweaver | then give us the link | 03:22 |
| metap0d | bobweaver: I'm certainly new to linux but I don't think i'm that new. http://pastebin.com/ZgwAkbxN | 03:23 |
| metap0d | bobweaver: :o | 03:23 |
| jud | Just installed 12.01.4 - Precise pangolin on the other machine. At first tried updating from 9.1. It didn't work. I thought it might be something to do with the integration so I took the system hard drive out and started fresh with a new one, from a disk. same problem. It boots up but can't access any launchers, if they show. I can't shut it down from the inside. Where ever the mouse passes, in its path, these blocks of pixelated cubes a | 03:24 |
| metap0d | bobweaver: I've concluded I need to run update-grub on my /dev/sda2 partition, but I don't know how to mount it correctly | 03:24 |
| bobweaver | metap0d, you need to mount /dev/sda3 then install grub to it | 03:25 |
| metap0d | bobweaver: I can mount it through the file manager by right clicking on it and hitting "mount volume" .. but it doesn't mount to /dev/sda3 | 03:25 |
| metap0d | bobweaver: which is where my confusion lies : / | 03:26 |
| === mrenouf is now known as mrenouf|away | ||
| bobweaver | metap0d, so sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt then sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda then cd then sudo umount /mnt then reboot into linux then sudo update-grub then sudo reboot | 03:27 |
| uabn93 | is anyone familiar with rsync? | 03:27 |
| bobweaver | uabn93, I know alittle about it for backups | 03:28 |
| uabn93 | bobweaver: cool. Say you sync from A to B. then you delete something on A and sync again. what happens to the files that were on B from the first sync? | 03:29 |
| blackness | uabn93, they should remain unless you use the compare flags. | 03:30 |
| uabn93 | blackness: i use grsync because im new to this. i dont see compare flags. is there another name for it? | 03:32 |
| jud | Updated 12.01.4 - Precise pangolin from 9.10 . when it boots, I can't access any launchers, if they show. I can't shut it down from the inside. Where ever the mouse passes, in its path, these blocks of pixelated cubes appear?? | 03:32 |
| metap0d_ | bobweaver: when I rebooted into the linux live cd and issued sudo update-grub I got /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?). | 03:32 |
| blackness | one moment uabn93 | 03:33 |
| cordoval | how to keep opevpn running live? | 03:34 |
| blackness | --compare-dest=DIR also compare destination files relative to DIR | 03:34 |
| cordoval | it shuts down everyonce in a while | 03:34 |
| uabn93 | blackness: got it. thanks | 03:35 |
| gmachine_24 | Greetings. I assume that I can boot a computer using Ubuntu on a microSD card plugged into a USB port with an adapter - since I can boot from a USB thumb drive. Correct? Or not. | 03:35 |
| bobweaver | metap0d_, no that is not what I was saying please read again . So you need to install grub to your Linux OS which from your paste is located under /dev/sda3 after that is *mounted* you install grub to it. after that you can unmount the partition and then reboot into your linux os Not The live cd then you run sudo update-grub then reboot and you will have everything | 03:35 |
| blackness | gmachine_24, yes, but it wont last long. i burnt out a new 8GB one in a day | 03:36 |
| metap0d_ | bobweaver: In the middle of the process of installing ubuntu, the install failed and told me the image was bad, so I don't have a working linux os to boot into, just windows | 03:36 |
| gmachine_24 | blackness, really, interesting. | 03:36 |
| metap0d_ | bobweaver: when I try to boot in I get a black screen with a long list of errors related to missing files and then it reboots | 03:36 |
| blackness | those MicroSD cards are not designed for constant R/W | 03:36 |
| bobweaver | metap0d_, start fresh and re-install | 03:36 |
| gmachine_24 | blackness, got it. but the thumb drive is ok............?? | 03:37 |
| blackness | Yep. | 03:37 |
| gmachine_24 | or is that just for emergency repair | 03:37 |
| metap0d_ | bobweaver: I tried twice, the image i wrote to this usb stick is 100% bad | 03:37 |
| edgy | hi, how can I view the cmyk layers on my pdf? | 03:37 |
| blackness | ive had the same ubuntu 8.04 on a USB stick and used it over and over and over for like 3 years | 03:37 |
| metap0d_ | bobweaver: I only have my windows partition to create new bootable usb's from | 03:37 |
| bobweaver | md5sum | metap0d_ | 03:37 |
| gmachine_24 | blackness, ok. cool. | 03:37 |
| bobweaver | !md5sum | metap0d_ | 03:37 |
| ubottu | metap0d_: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 03:37 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d, download it again and do a checksum | 03:37 |
| metap0d_ | bobweaver: I did that, it doesn't match :p | 03:37 |
| bobweaver | metap0d_, maybe get new image then ? | 03:38 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_, then d/l it again | 03:38 |
| blackness | metap0d_, try using usb-creator-??? (gtk/kde) | 03:38 |
| metap0d_ | bobweaver: I'm not trying to be a jerk ><, but the only operating I could download to (windows) is inaccessible because this attempt at installing ubuntu failed | 03:38 |
| metap0d_ | i can't download / install a new ubuntu image to the usb stick i'm live booting from to talk to you all of you for assistance | 03:38 |
| bobweaver | metap0d_, you said that windows was installed ? | 03:39 |
| bobweaver | no ? | 03:39 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_, so your comp won't boot to Windows? | 03:39 |
| metap0d_ | bobweaver: that's why i'm trying to repair grub to show the windows partition so i can re-download, prepare the USB and start again | 03:39 |
| jud | Updated 12.01.4 - Precise pangolin from 9.10 . when it boots, I can't access any launchers, if they show. I can't shut it down from the inside. Where ever the mouse passes, in its path, these blocks of pixelated cubes appear?? | 03:39 |
| blackness | metap0d_, what ubuntu are you using? | 03:39 |
| metap0d_ | bobweaver: Windows is installed, it just isn't visible on the grub menu | 03:39 |
| metap0d_ | blackness: Ubuntu 12.10 64bit | 03:40 |
| bobweaver | but grub is broken I see | 03:40 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ but can you boot to Windows? | 03:40 |
| blackness | what ISO is on your usb stick metap0d_ ? | 03:40 |
| gmachine_24 | I assume the answer is no | 03:40 |
| metap0d_ | gmachine_24: hm... i'm not sure I'm very new at this ... I don't see why I wouldn't be able to if the grub entry were there. All I see is Ubuntu Linux and some memtest entries | 03:40 |
| bobweaver | metap0d_, what is ram on computer ? free -m | 03:40 |
| Febul | Why is my httpd.conf file in /etc/apache2 empty? | 03:41 |
| blackness | !windows | 03:41 |
| ubottu | For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents | 03:41 |
| metap0d_ | bobweaver: 4gb total, 2,381 free | 03:41 |
| blackness | crap. not what i was looking for. | 03:41 |
| [twisti] | Febul: the data is spread over other files | 03:41 |
| bobweaver | metap0d_, and you are using usb ? do you have a free cd drive atm ? | 03:41 |
| metap0d_ | is there no way to run update-grub on the hard disk from inside the live cd? | 03:41 |
| gmachine_24 | Gang, what about his using something like Supergrubdisk or rescatux? | 03:42 |
| metap0d_ | bobweaver: Unfortunately no ... I'm really in a crummy situation | 03:42 |
| jud | Updated 12.01.4 - Precise pangolin from 9.10 . when it boots, I can't access any launchers, if they show. I can't shut it down from the inside. Where ever the mouse passes, in its path, these blocks of pixelated cubes appear?? | 03:42 |
| metap0d_ | bobweaver: I only have 1 USB stick big enough for Ubuntu which is this one, and no other computers, I even thought about using an mp3 player | 03:42 |
| gmachine_24 | ok nevermind. He can't download and burn a CD. | 03:42 |
| [twisti] | Febul: most of it is in apache2.conf, some in conf.d and in the sites/mods available folders | 03:42 |
| bobweaver | metap0d_, because the install went bad I dont know try to chroot into the mnt | 03:42 |
| uabn93 | blackness: about --compare-dest=DIR, how is this different from --delete delete extraneous files from dest dirs? | 03:42 |
| [twisti] | Febul: are you looking for anything in particular ? | 03:42 |
| Febul | [twisti]: Where is the configuration for modules loaded? I would like to load mod wsgi. | 03:42 |
| gmachine_24 | can't he go to the /dev/sda partition and install grub? | 03:42 |
| bobweaver | so metap0d_ let us see sudo fdisk -l again | 03:43 |
| [twisti] | Febul: for starters, you shouldnt load modules by changing config files | 03:43 |
| gmachine_24 | I did that recently to fix a grub/boot problem | 03:43 |
| bobweaver | metap0d_, never mind I found the last paste | 03:43 |
| gmachine_24 | from a live CD | 03:43 |
| blackness | he can chroot to it. | 03:43 |
| bobweaver | so metap0d_ open termina and enter in sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt | 03:44 |
| Febul | [twisti]: Well I've installed mod-wsgi from the APT. libapache2-mod-wsgi, is that enough? | 03:44 |
| blackness | he needs to mount the slice, and bind procfs then chroot to /mnt/ and update-grub | 03:44 |
| metap0d_ | then chroot /mnt | 03:44 |
| metap0d_ | ? | 03:44 |
| [twisti] | Febul: i dont see that particular mod, you may have to google how to use that in ubuntu, oh yeah, or that | 03:44 |
| bobweaver | metap0d_, let us know when you did that ^^^ | 03:44 |
| [twisti] | then do | 03:44 |
| [twisti] | sudo a2enmod wsgi | 03:44 |
| [twisti] | or whatever its called | 03:44 |
| Febul | [twisti]: Have you ever used mod_wsgi? | 03:44 |
| [twisti] | you can check /etc/apache2/mods-available | 03:44 |
| bobweaver | so metap0d_ open terminal * and enter in sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt | 03:44 |
| jud | Updated 12.01.4 - Precise pangolin from 9.10 . when it boots, I can't access any launchers, if they show. I can't shut it down from the inside. Where ever the mouse passes, in its path, these blocks of pixelated cubes appear?? | 03:45 |
| metap0d_ | bobweaver: Done, I don't know if I went to far but afterward I chroot /mnt | 03:45 |
| metap0d_ | bobweaver: the terminal prompt has changed | 03:45 |
| [twisti] | i have not, which is why i cant tell you about it specifically, only about how youre supposed to load mods in general | 03:45 |
| jud | Updated 12.01.4 - Precise pangolin from 9.10 . when it boots, I can't access any launchers, if they show. I can't shut it down from the inside. Where ever the mouse passes, in its path, these blocks of pixelated cubes appear?? | 03:45 |
| metap0d_ | bobweaver: now could I issue sudo update-grub /dev/sda ? | 03:45 |
| dsnyders | !virtual | 03:45 |
| ubottu | There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 03:45 |
| bobweaver | metap0d_, what does cd /mnt && ls say ? | 03:45 |
| Febul | [twisti]: It says that it's loaded, thanks. | 03:45 |
| bobweaver | a bunch of stuff ? | 03:45 |
| Febul | If anyone here has ever used mod_wsgi/flask, some guided assistance would be greatly appreciated :) | 03:46 |
| [twisti] | Febul: dont forget that you might have to restart apache2 | 03:46 |
| metap0d_ | bobweaver: I was able to change into /mnt without any issues, but ls shows nothing | 03:46 |
| metap0d_ | bobweaver: sorry did you want me doing this before chrooting in >< | 03:46 |
| bobweaver | cool metap0d_ what does whoami say ? | 03:46 |
| metap0d_ | bobweaver: root | 03:47 |
| Febul | [twisti]: Thanks :) | 03:47 |
| bobweaver | metap0d_, enter in sudo update-grub | 03:47 |
| bobweaver | what happens ? | 03:47 |
| Febul | [twisti]: How do I restart from the command line again? | 03:47 |
| [twisti] | sudo service apache2 restart | 03:47 |
| metap0d_ | bobweaver: /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?). | 03:47 |

| jud | Can anyone offer a link that will help sort it out? | 03:48 |
| Febul | [twisti]: Thaks | 03:48 |
| metap0d_ | bobweaver: http://pastebin.com/5LKgZzz1 | 03:48 |
| [twisti] | oh, also, youre supposed to do something very similar if you have site-specific config: put the configs into /etc/apache2/sites-available, and then do "sudo a2ensite sitename" | 03:48 |
| bobweaver | metap0d_, type in exit | 03:49 |
| metap0d_ | bobweaver: Looks like I'm back in the live cd prompt again | 03:49 |
| bobweaver | then metap0d_ cd ~ && sudo umount /mnt | 03:49 |
| metap0d_ | bobweaver: Done | 03:49 |
| bobweaver | metap0d_, let us see mount again | 03:50 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0D_ this is the command he needs to run: sudo grub-install /dev/sdaXX | 03:50 |
| gmachine_24 | sorry but without the partition # because grub is in the MBR and not on a partition | 03:51 |
| bobweaver | gmachine_24, you mean sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda | 03:51 |
| metap0d_ | gmachine_24: Bob had me run that right before I rebooted | 03:51 |
| metap0d_ | bobweaver: http://pastebin.com/S2Mws0dt | 03:51 |
| Vbitz | alright I'm trying to ssh between 2 servers, one's at home and one's a vps with linode. both are running recent versions ubuntu. I can ssh using key auth between myself on my macbook and my vps and me and my home server but I can't even connect using password auth trying to get from my home-server to my vps | 03:51 |
| bobweaver | metap0d_, he is right but it must be mounted and chrooted first | 03:51 |
| bobweaver | so | 03:51 |
| jud | Updated 12.01.4 - Precise pangolin from 9.10 . when it boots, I can't access any launchers, if they show. I can't shut it down from the inside. Where ever the mouse passes, in its path, these blocks of pixelated cubes appear?? Appropriate troubleshooting link anyone? | 03:52 |
| bobweaver | sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt | 03:52 |
| metap0d_ | bobweaver: OK | 03:52 |
| bobweaver | metap0d_, ^^ then then cd /mnt | 03:52 |
| gmachine_24 | but you don't want to install it to a partition | 03:52 |
| metap0d_ | bobweaver: OK | 03:53 |
| bobweaver | Metapod sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda | 03:53 |
| bobweaver | then | 03:53 |
| metap0d_ | bobweaver: OK | 03:53 |
| bobweaver | chroot /mnt | 03:53 |
| bobweaver | then | 03:53 |
| bobweaver | sudo update-grub | 03:54 |
| bobweaver | what happens ? | 03:54 |
| metap0d_ | bobweaver: The same error unfortunately: /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?). | 03:54 |
| gmachine_24 | "From here, find only the drive name, ignore the partition number, that is, for partitions labeled "root", "data2", "fat", "home" and "swap" it's all still just sda. This is due to the fact that GRUB is installed in the MBR of the drive, and not on a partition." | 03:54 |
| bobweaver | huh gmachine_24 ^^ can help ? | 03:54 |
| metap0d_ | I hope so? :) | 03:55 |

| chimney | hi | 03:55 |
| metap0d_ | gmachine_24: I'd be very grateful :) | 03:55 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ if your drive is /dev/sda then at a command prompt run $sudo grub-install /dev/sda | 03:56 |
| chimney | my via c3 is freezing while installation when cpu goes under 800Mhz | 03:56 |
| jud | I there a room specific to 12.01.4?? Updated 12.01.4 - Precise pangolin from 9.10 . when it boots, I can't access any launchers, if they show. I can't shut it down from the inside. Where ever the mouse passes, in its path, these blocks of pixelated cubes appear?? | 03:56 |
| metap0d_ | gmachine_24: DO you want me to unmount /dev/sda3 then? | 03:56 |
| chimney | my via c3 is freezing while installation when cpu goes under 800Mhz, how do I set the cpu freq to 1Ghz? | 03:56 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ yes | 03:57 |
| chimney | my via c3 is freezing while installation when cpu goes under 800Mhz, how do I set the cpu freq to 1Ghz? as boot param? | 03:57 |
| bobweaver | gmachine_24, keep in mind that his 1st install did not install all the way so who knows what on sda3 and also he can not boot to windows to get a new image. from which he says that the image that he had the md5sum is in fact bad that is all I know | 03:57 |
| bobweaver | or gathered if that even helps | 03:57 |
| gmachine_24 | I know. But what else is he going to do? He can't d/l a repair disk. | 03:57 |
| chimney | help | 03:58 |
| chimney | :) | 03:58 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ did we lose you? | 03:58 |
| bobweaver | can not partition usb either to make room | 03:58 |
| orlok | Has anybody here used Ubuntu in a PCI-DSS l1 compliant enviroment? | 03:58 |
| metap0d_ | gmachine_24: Kind of, I've been following linux tutorials in an ubuntu virtual machine for a few weeks so I'm picking things up here and there | 03:58 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ did you try that command after unmounting /dev/sda | 03:59 |
| metap0d_ | gmachine_24: when I issue sudo update-grub I get: http://pastebin.com/N7g2yZ3y | 03:59 |
| orlok | Or, does anybody know of any Ubuntu hardening guides? | 03:59 |
| === patrick is now known as Guest27575 | ||
| metap0d_ | gmachine_24: I don't know if I did it right but I did sudo umount /mnt | 04:00 |
| bobweaver | metap0d_, you can always enter in mount to see what is mounted where | 04:00 |
| jud | Is there a channel for 12.04.1? | 04:00 |
| metap0d_ | bobweaver: Ah I see, well looks like it's not mounted anymore | 04:01 |
| bobweaver | jud what is up with unity ? I dont understand your question | 04:01 |
| bobweaver | I wonder if there is neboot in live cds ? | 04:01 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ what do you get when you run sudo fdisk -l | 04:02 |
| bobweaver | netboot * | 04:02 |
| chimney | hi I have an problem with ubuntu and a via c3 cpu freezing ... | 04:02 |
| gmachine_24 | I know you've covered this already but I missed it | 04:02 |
| metap0d_ | gmachine_24: I don't see anything in a terminal, bob had me run it to paste to pastebin and that actually had some output .. but I don't remember the command :/ | 04:02 |
| jud | bobweaver: ran update from 9.10 to 12.04.1 but it didn't work | 04:02 |
| bobweaver | jud, did you back up your home dir ? | 04:03 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ type 'pwd' without the quotes and tell me what you get | 04:03 |
| metap0d_ | gmachine_24: /home/liveuser | 04:03 |
| bobweaver | liveuser ? | 04:03 |
| Addison | Hiya everyone! | 04:04 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ I don't mean to be dense but if you type sudo fdisk -l you get nothing? | 04:04 |
| metap0d_ | gmachine_24: Yes literally nothing, it executes and just goes to another prompt | 04:05 |
| jud | bobweaver: no, I figured that if it didn't work, i'd reinstall onto a new hard drive from dvd and just access my old files that way | 04:05 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ well that's messed up. | 04:05 |
| metap0d_ | gmachine_24: bob had some black magic before | 04:05 |
| Addison | Is there anyone here who has heard of Tinyfugue? | 04:05 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ such as? | 04:05 |
| bobweaver | jud, you checked to make sure that your vga card mod(driver ) is loaded ? | 04:05 |
| metap0d_ | gmachine_24: He had me run the fdisk command or a variant of it and then had some pastebin package installed, the pastebin link contained output from fdisk -l | 04:06 |
| metap0d_ | gmachine_24: I don't know why it isn't in my terminal | 04:06 |
| phillijw_ | Is there a nice app that will allow me to remote into various machines including WinXP? | 04:06 |
| orlok | phillijw_: rdesktop, or vnc | 04:06 |
| orlok | phillijw_: that all really depends on what sort of remote service agent your WinXP is running | 04:07 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ type 'cd ..' without the quotes | 04:07 |
| bobweaver | metap0d_, this can be figured out real fast install pastebinit sudo apt-get install pastebinit && sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit | 04:07 |
| gmachine_24 | that's cd and a space and two periods | 04:07 |
| phillijw_ | orlok: its not running anything 3rd party | 04:07 |
| gmachine_24 | ahhh. ok. kudos bobweaver | 04:07 |
| jud | bobweaver: I've only dabbled with linux and computer tech in general. I'll need to check what that is. What are the implications? | 04:07 |
| orlok | phillijw_: Well, maybe you should be asking, by default, what sort of remote access capabilities does Windows XP have? | 04:07 |
| metap0d_ | gmachine_24: http://pastebin.com/9YJnX94E | 04:07 |
| orlok | phillijw_: as thats going to define what sort of tools you can use to conenct to it. | 04:08 |
| codygman | What is the mail transfer agent referred to as in update-alternatives? I see "mt" | 04:08 |
| bobweaver | jud, so on distro upgrades the 3rd party stuff gets turned off so if you are running say nvidia then you might have to re-install. But can you get to a command prompt | 04:08 |
| codygman | well mt is magnetic tape driver operation so not that lol | 04:08 |
| bobweaver | metap0d_, that is not from the correct pastebin ;) | 04:09 |
| codygman | Does ubuntu have a MTA installed by default? | 04:09 |
| metap0d_ | bobweaver: Sorry? | 04:09 |
| jud | bobweaver: can't get there but I pulled the system drive out, put a fresh one in, reinstalled as i thought i might have to....same problem | 04:09 |
| metap0d_ | oh | 04:10 |
| metap0d_ | oops | 04:10 |
| bobweaver | metap0d_, I mean that you did not enter the commands that I asked | 04:10 |
| metap0d_ | bobweaver: I entered sudo apt-get install pastebinit && sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit | 04:10 |
| Addison | I really could use just a little bit of help if anyone here is familiar with Tinyfugue. | 04:10 |
| bobweaver | jud, how far does it boot up till lightdm (login ) | 04:10 |
| bobweaver | ? | 04:10 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ Windows 95? Really? | 04:11 |
| uabn93 | /disconnect | 04:11 |
| uabn93 | sorry | 04:11 |
| metap0d_ | gmachine_24: Where do you see that? I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate | 04:11 |
| bobweaver | metap0d_, when I enter that in I get this http://paste.ubuntu.com/1341693/ | 04:11 |
| metap0d_ | gmachine_24: that's my flash stick, which formatted as FAT32 | 04:11 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ on /dev/sdb | 04:11 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ from the pastebin | 04:12 |
| jud | bobweaver: it lets me log in but then i can only move the mouse around and as i do this, pixelated cubes appear and lie in the path of the mouse | 04:12 |
| metap0d_ | gmachine_24, bobweaver | 04:12 |
| metap0d_ | http://pastebin.com/KEEw3Zzb | 04:12 |
| metap0d_ | oops | 04:12 |
| bobweaver | jud, when you get to the lightdm menu can you press ctrl+alt+f1 and log in to prompt ? | 04:13 |
| bobweaver | shell prompt * | 04:13 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ when you boot from your hard drive and you get the splash menu with ubuntu and memtest did you try to enter the ubuntu recovery mode? | 04:14 |
| metap0d_ | gmachine_24: Yeah, a few times ... it seems to through the boot process fine but when it hits the login manager I get a massive list of missing files and then my machine reboots | 04:14 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ the two pastebins are identical | 04:14 |
| jud | bobweaver: i'm not at that machine right at the minute...could that be a way in do you think? | 04:15 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ well I'm guessing you're screwed. | 04:15 |
| iFlip | I know this is off topic for this room but I can't find any channels that have anyone talking about this topic. For me, this is probably the nearest... | 04:15 |
| iFlip | Does anyone know about SickBeard? | 04:15 |
| metap0d_ | gmachine_24: Is there no way at grub to specify an existent but not listed partition to boot into? : ( | 04:16 |
| iFlip | Was wondering if anyone knew of a related program to SickBeard that takes movie queries | 04:16 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ you must have access to another computer. | 04:16 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ your OS is missing files. | 04:16 |
| bobweaver | jud, I know that it is if you can get there then install pastebinit sudo apt-get install pastebinit then you can show us your card like lspci -vnn | pastebinit | 04:16 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ upi | 04:16 |
| bobweaver | jud, then you can start debuging from there | 04:16 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ you're trying to boot to an incomplete OS | 04:16 |
| bobweaver | jud I would also run nux test from there | 04:16 |
| metap0d_ | gmachine_24: that's why i came in here in the first place :P | 04:16 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ or a bad install | 04:16 |
| escott | metap0d_, just get to the grub console and start issuing commands | 04:17 |
| bobweaver | jud, /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p | 04:17 |
| jud | bobweaver: why do you think the same would happen after a fresh install? | 04:17 |
| metap0d_ | gmachine_24: my ubuntu install off my flash drive failed part way and messed up GRUB in the process, i've been trying to update grub to re-display my windows partition | 04:17 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ right so you need a clean CD to install from or a clean USB image/install | 04:17 |
| bobweaver | jud, because Ubuntu can not ship nvidia software or what ever vga closed source it may or may not be | 04:18 |
| bobweaver | that is illiegal | 04:18 |
| metap0d_ | gmachine_24: Yes but .. is there no way to get into the perfectly fine windows partition to create that clean USB image? | 04:18 |
| bobweaver | and so is my spelling ;) | 04:18 |
| Ben64 | In 12.04, how can I make updates appear in the notification area? | 04:18 |
| jud | bobweaver: so much to learn | 04:18 |
| bobweaver | Ben64, pass it over dbus that would be guess but IDK sorry | 04:19 |
| escott | bobweaver, its not illegal for them to ship the nvidia drivers | 04:19 |
| bobweaver | escott, +1 it is against the laws of free software ? or opensurce | 04:19 |
| trism | Ben64: updates as it updated packages? update manager? | 04:19 |
| bobweaver | source * | 04:19 |
| Ben64 | trism: yes | 04:20 |
| jud | bobweaver: maybe an easier hardware solution for now? | 04:20 |
| trism | Ben64: gsettings set com.ubuntu.update-notifier auto-launch false; | 04:20 |
| cipherboy | Hey, does anyone have a printer similar to an HP OfficeJet J4600 which has webscan ability? | 04:20 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ from your USB device there is no choice to remove Ubuntu? | 04:20 |
| Ben64 | trism: wow thanks! | 04:21 |
| Ben64 | trism: didn't think it'd be so easy, I was trying all sorts of things | 04:21 |
| bobweaver | Ben64, there is a tool called dconf-editor that has a list of all the stuff | 04:21 |
| Ben64 | yeah I was looking through that | 04:21 |
| bobweaver | there should be search option for that tool | 04:22 |
| Ben64 | indeed | 04:22 |
| === The_Pugilist is now known as DaveR | ||
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ Listen, the safest thing to do is to reinstall Windows from the back up I know you have and then reinstall Ubuntu. | 04:22 |
| gmachine_24 | :) | 04:22 |
| bobweaver | trism, is there a way to list all dbus stuff or is it just go look in /usr/share/dbus-1/services ? | 04:23 |
| metap0d_ | gmachine_24: I actually do have a back up that's relatively recent ... but no media to re-install windows 7 from lol | 04:23 |
| trism | bobweaver: d-feet is pretty nice | 04:23 |
| bobweaver | Oo | 04:23 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ Can you reinstall from your back up? | 04:23 |
| bobweaver | !info d-feet > bobweaver | 04:23 |
| metap0d_ | gmachine_24: My backups are just encrypted zip files stored on a remote ftp server | 04:23 |
| metap0d_ | gmachine_24: : ( | 04:23 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ Well, this is lesson #1. | 04:24 |
| jud | bobweaver: i don't know a great deal about this clearly but it would seem then that there is some permanent storage other than on the hard drive? | 04:24 |
| metap0d_ | gmachine_24: I have an old 512mb flash stick ... i've seen tiny tiny linux distributions on distrowatch, like damn small linux ... could I set one of those up from inside the live cd? | 04:25 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ If I were you I'd borrow a Windows 7 DVD from a friend and reinstall the software and then reinstall from your back up | 04:25 |
| bobweaver | gmachine_24, no no no borrow a Ubuntu cd from a friend and re-install it Oo | 04:25 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ that I do not know. | 04:25 |
| bobweaver | :) | 04:25 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ bobweaver is correct, that would be a better choice. then if it fails you can try the Windows redo. All of this is just a waste of time. | 04:26 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ since you don't have a full Ubuntu install | 04:26 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ and cannot access the recovery console | 04:27 |
| metap0d_ | :( | 04:27 |
| Ben64 | jockey-text keeps crashing and popping up an error on my notification area. how can i make it never run again, as I already have my nvidia driver | 04:27 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ Well, you know, they tell you to back things up for a reason. | 04:27 |
| metap0d_ | there must be SOME tool I could download whilst on the live cd to either repair grub or maybe repair the MBR for windows or something | 04:27 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ STOP. you can try supergrubdisk.org either super grub disk or rescatux | 04:28 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ but for that you need a cd burner, etc. | 04:28 |
| c_smith | would Ubuntu with the Cairo Dock session it sets up on install still count as Ubuntu? | 04:29 |
| linuxer | hello | 04:30 |
| c_smith | I ask this because Steam for Linux I hear is only coming for Ubuntu and not it's derivatives. | 04:30 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ we have given you the commands to restore or repair grub. they are not working. there is some damage to your partitions so that they cannot be read. If you had a Windows 7 disk you could try a repair of Windows from that (after a live boot) | 04:30 |
| aeon-ltd | c_smith: if it has the core of ubuntu it's ubuntu | 04:31 |
| aeon-ltd | c_smith: haven't you heard of the variants[xubuntu,lubuntu,etc]? | 04:32 |
| trism | Ben64: I believe that is started by /etc/xdg/autostart/jockey-gtk.desktop on 12.04, if you copy it to ~/.config/autostart/ and set NoDisplay=false you should be able to enable/disable it in gnome-session-properties | 04:32 |
| maurojas6996_ | hello, i need your help | 04:32 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ this is for xp and vista but I think it must be similar for Windows 7 - but you can research it. :) http://helpdeskgeek.com/how-to/fix-mbr-xp-vista/ | 04:32 |
| c_smith | aeon-ltd, from what I hear those won't even get Steam | 04:32 |
| aeon-ltd | maurojas6996_: describe it to the chan as best you can | 04:32 |
| metap0d_ | gmachine_24: I'm reading about https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair, as a last ditch effort | 04:33 |
| c_smith | aeon-ltd, simply because the stuff is licensed to Canonical. | 04:33 |
| aeon-ltd | c_smith: if it's coming with apt then it will most likely work | 04:33 |
| c_smith | huh. | 04:33 |
| c_smith | either way, I kinda like Cairo Dock. | 04:33 |
| deadmund | Firefox crashes immediately when I start it. No errors in terminal. Works fine if I use a different firefox user profile. What can I do? | 04:33 |
| aeon-ltd | c_smith: i can assume eventually someone will get the source code and port it to other package managers anyway | 04:33 |
| Random832 | deadmund: remove the offending user profile? | 04:33 |
| c_smith | aeon-ltd, problem is Steam is closed-source. | 04:34 |
| escott | deadmund, remove your firefox profile | 04:34 |
| deadmund | Random832, But that's my user! And I want it! | 04:34 |
| deadmund | Ugh | 04:34 |
| c_smith | aeon-ltd, Valve hold the source code, and afaik they aren't removing it. | 04:34 |
| Random832 | what does it have that you want? | 04:34 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ yes, I looked at the boot-repair tool as well - but you need to burn it to a cd or usb stick | 04:34 |
| deadmund | good thing I have sync | 04:34 |
| Random832 | just delete/move your .firefox directory | 04:34 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ maybe you can burn it to your other usb stick. it should be plenty small enough. | 04:34 |
| maurojas6996_ | i installed a program, that not work, and i remove the program, the program is not in my PC, but the shortcut is in my main menu | 04:34 |
| aeon-ltd | c_smith: that's kinda limiting their market, even if ubuntu variants are the most popular | 04:35 |
| deadmund | Random832, I am aware of how to delete a profile. firefox -P will work just as well. Are you kidding? All my bookmarks and saved passwords are in my profile. I have sync though. I was hoping to avoid deleting the profile | 04:35 |
| maurojas6996_ | sorry i not speak a good english and the google translate is a sh** | 04:35 |
| c_smith | aeon-ltd, yeah, I can't say I don't question that logic, but never look a gift horse in the mouth. | 04:35 |
| Random832 | deadmund: you might be able to transfer some of the files from the bad profile to the new one | 04:35 |
| bobweaver | maurojas6996_, where are you from ? | 04:35 |
| deadmund | Random832, Do you know what firefox sync is? I have it. I'm using it. | 04:36 |
| maurojas6996_ | i am from Venezuela | 04:36 |
| Random832 | no i don't ... then why is it a big deal | 04:36 |
| bobweaver | !spainsh | maurojas6996_ | 04:36 |
| aeon-ltd | !spanish | maurojas6996_ | 04:36 |
| ubottu | maurojas6996_: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. | 04:36 |
| gmachine_24 | metap0d_ come to think of it, I think I will do just that. I must go. Good luck to you. Don't feel bad about the back up - when Anonymous trashed the head of the IT security firm that was after them they discovered he used the same password for all his accounts - facebook, twitter, yahoo!, ... everything. A huge no-no. Peace. | 04:36 |
| bobweaver | !es | maurojas6996_ | 04:36 |
| deadmund | Random832, It's not. Except that the firefox sync key is on a flash drive on the other side of town. I was hoping to be able to get firefox working without erasing my profile only for timely convenience. However, I have sync, so I can delete it safely. I'll just have to wait until tomorrow to get into my normal profile again. | 04:37 |
| maurojas6996_ | sorry, but nobody in Ubuntu-es | 04:37 |
| deadmund | Random832, makes sense? | 04:37 |
| maurojas6996_ | but I understand english, that i can not to talk good | 04:37 |
| chimney | hi I have an problem with ubuntu and a via c3 cpu freezing ... | 04:37 |
| bobweaver | maurojas6996_, /usr/share/applicaions/name_of_program.desktop is it there ? | 04:38 |
| chimney | my via c3 is freezing while installation when cpu goes under 800Mhz, how do I set the cpu freq to 1Ghz? | 04:38 |
| bobweaver | maurojas6996_, /usr/share/applications/name_of_program.desktop is it there ? my spelling was bad on last one | 04:39 |
| escott | chimney, you can find the cpu freq governors in /sys these days | 04:39 |
| jud | bobweaver: so, if i change the graphics card, will it let me do a fresh install that will work do you think? | 04:39 |
| chimney | escott: it freezes while installation -.0 | 04:39 |
| chimney | -.- | 04:39 |
| maurojas6996_ | no, the file is not be in this directory | 04:40 |
| maurojas6996_ | but the file is in menu://applications/DesktopSettings | 04:40 |
| bobweaver | jud, I can not tell you what it can or cant do with out knowing the computers perpetuals | 04:40 |
| maurojas6996_ | and is impossible to erase | 04:40 |
| bobweaver | like vga and ram and cpu ect | 04:40 |
| chimney | escott: its running fine with opensuse12.1 but opensuse is kind of pita | 04:41 |
| bobweaver | impossible to erase what does that mean ? like you do not have permissions maurojas6996_ ? | 04:42 |
| jud | bobweaver: and if i just hit f1 or something while it's booting i can get that info there? | 04:42 |
| === Err404NotFound is now known as Error404NotFound | ||
| bobweaver | jud, at login menu press ctrl+alt+f1 | 04:42 |
| maurojas6996_ | yes I have permissions, but the error that this show is: : The specified location is not supported | 04:43 |
| bobweaver | what is this app maurojas6996_ ? | 04:43 |
| escott | chimney, look under /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/cpufreq | 04:43 |
| maurojas6996_ | driconf | 04:44 |
| chimney | without the system on the disk? | 04:44 |
| jud | bobweaver: and then? | 04:44 |
| bobweaver | maurojas6996_, this is a applet ? | 04:44 |
| chimney | escott: it freezes somehow while installing | 04:45 |
| bobweaver | jud, are you at that computer now ? | 04:45 |
| maurojas6996_ | when i remove driconf, the shortcut has not removed | 04:45 |
| escott | chimney, right... you said when the freq was dropped below 800. so set the governor to performance | 04:45 |
| chimney | escott: is there a boot param? | 04:46 |
| maurojas6996_ | driconf is an applet to control de graphical card | 04:46 |
| === tobias is now known as Guest25088 | ||
| escott | chimney, check http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/cpu-freq/governors.txt | 04:46 |
| maurojas6996_ | but no work in my PC, and I remove, but the shortcut has not removed from my main menu | 04:46 |
| bobweaver | maurojas6996_, I am not a applet person sorry I am sure that others will look this over though may try to re-install then purge it ? that is just a guess | 04:47 |
| escott | chimney, or get yourself to a terminal fast enough to set it to performance before it drops | 04:47 |
| maurojas6996_ | yes I try | 04:47 |
| maurojas6996_ | thanks bobweaver :) | 04:48 |
| markhammel | Does anyone have exp using ubuntu's virtual box to use windows???? | 04:48 |
| jud | bobweaver: no, but i don't have a laptop, so top get 2 computers going side by side is gonna be a nuisance. I was just trying to anticipate a couple of steps ahead so i can find out as much as possible before asking someone what to do next tomorrow. I'm currently at a different location you see. | 04:48 |
| markhammel | I'm having issues with my usb drives running windows threw virtualbox | 04:48 |
| c_smith | markhammel, without decent specs and hardware virtualization, Virtualbox is gonna be painfully slow. | 04:49 |
| c_smith | markhammel, that's usually because the guest additions aren't installed. | 04:49 |
| c_smith | markhammel, you'll want to install VIrtualbox through the repo Oracl provides. | 04:49 |
| markhammel | guest aditions?? what is that where do i find them to install? | 04:49 |
| markhammel | so i need a diff ver of virtualbox? | 04:49 |
| c_smith | markhammel, affirmative. | 04:50 |
| markhammel | thanks so should i uninstall this one and delete the windows 7 | 04:50 |
| c_smith | markhammel, if you can wait a second, I can get a guide for installing Oracle's version of VBox. | 04:50 |
| chimney | escott: i just dont understand this _NO_HZ thing in there | 04:50 |
| c_smith | markhammel, correct, | 04:50 |
| chimney | ... | 04:50 |
| markhammel | okay that would be great csmith | 04:50 |
| bobweaver | ahh jud yeah I would try to get to tty (ctrl+alt+f1)and debug from there looking at hardware level and again you can run nux unity test /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p you might have to go with more light weight or who knows could be bad connection. whta is computer make and model ? | 04:50 |
| c_smith | markhammel, http://www.itworld.com/software/304613/install-virtualbox-ubuntu-1210 | 04:51 |
| escott | chimney, i havent messed with governors in a while so im not sure what NO_HZ is either | 04:51 |
| c_smith | markhammel, but make sure to remove the current Virtualbox first. | 04:51 |
| c_smith | otherwise some very nasty things can occur. | 04:51 |
| c_smith | markhammel, then you | 04:51 |
| chimney | escott: I'll try it with gettin a terminal fast :P | 04:51 |
| markhammel | just an uninstall should be good enough right? | 04:52 |
| chimney | escott: then in 3 hours ill ask again crying xD | 04:52 |
| almoxarife | markhammel: thanks so should i uninstall this one and delete the windows 7 <-- why delete the guest OS? | 04:52 |
| c_smith | markhammel, no, use this: sudo apt-get purge virtualbox | 04:52 |
| jud | bobweaver: ok, i'll just try what you've suggested so far, get that output if i can. The make is a chinese slap together, I'll try and be more specific tomorrow. thanks! | 04:52 |
| c_smith | markhammel, purge to make sure there's no configs leftover that shouldn't be. | 04:53 |
| markhammel | how do i purge? | 04:53 |
| c_smith | markhammel, then you'll want to install the Guest Additions from https://www.virtualbox.org/ after installing Oracle's VBox. | 04:53 |
| markhammel | i just did sudo apt-get purge virtualbox | 04:53 |
| c_smith | markhammel, sudo apt-get purge virtualbox | 04:53 |
| c_smith | markhammel, that's the purge I was talking about. | 04:54 |
| markhammel | oh okay i did that. | 04:54 |
| c_smith | and then you're good to follow the directions I linked | 04:54 |
| c_smith | then you'll want the latest guest additions from the site I listed. | 04:54 |
| chimney | bye | 04:54 |
| markhammel | c_smith i was on sonys chat help.. its a scheme.. they just try to lie and sell u fake products. | 04:57 |
| markhammel | I told them that irc was helping me more then they were and they were just giving me a run around.. LOL | 04:57 |
| c_smith | markhammel, I know the feeling. | 04:58 |
| beachandbytes | major company chat help = guy in india getting paid 2.25 an hour | 04:58 |
| markhammel | c smith where are the guest additions i dont se them? | 05:00 |
| markhammel | r they called guest additions? | 05:00 |
| c_smith | markhammel, let me take a look | 05:01 |
| c_smith | markhammel, I gave you the wrong file name, it's the VirtualBox Extension Pack you want. | 05:01 |
| c_smith | shows how late it is here. | 05:02 |
| c_smith | markhammel, also, a tip for irc, type the first few letters of a person name then pressing tab autocompletes it. | 05:02 |
| markhammel | ah i thought it might be that. c_smith great tip | 05:03 |
| Slidesub | oh | 05:03 |
| c_smith | markhammel, not a prob | 05:03 |
| markhammel | great its loading ill see if it works now | 05:05 |
| c_smith | cool | 05:05 |
| markhammel | my terminal ended at 2% [1 virtualbox-4.2 915 kB/59.9 MB 2%] | 05:05 |
| markhammel | when i tried to dl the new one.. i hope its supposed to look like that. | 05:05 |
| c_smith | it's not. | 05:06 |
| c_smith | you may want to rerun the command. | 05:06 |
| markhammel | hmm but i have virtual box installed | 05:06 |
| markhammel | is it possible the old one never uninstalled correctly | 05:06 |
| c_smith | markhammel, apt-get purge would have made sure of that. | 05:06 |
| markhammel | hmm i just noticed i could see my kindle from the usb button at the bottum of virtual drive | 05:08 |
| markhammel | its installing the drivers r now for it apparently. | 05:08 |
| c_smith | ah, that worked? | 05:08 |
| markhammel | i mean thats not what i neeed it to see i need it to see my iphone... but thats a good sign. | 05:08 |
| c_smith | cool | 05:08 |
| c_smith | markhammel, I take it you installed the extensions? | 05:09 |
| Febul | In apache2, which file contains the LogLevel? | 05:09 |
| markhammel | Yeah c_smith the extension installed fine.. im jsut still wondering about the 2% thing and how if it only ran 2 % am i running virtual box now effectively | 05:10 |
| c_smith | hmmmm..... that's not something I seen Ubuntu do. | 05:10 |
| markhammel | hmm its showing my iphone as an unknown device... and says installation failed. | 05:10 |
| sleepster | would I get better raid performance doing a software raid or a hardware raid ? my motherboard has one of those fake raid controllers | 05:10 |
| phunyguy_t430s_ | I thought Empathy used to be able to do IRC.... did they do away with that in Ubuntu 12.10? or am I missing a package? *giggity* | 05:10 |
| c_smith | but it seems to work correctly | 05:10 |
| markhammel | maybe i should scroll up and redo the steps | 05:11 |
| trism | phunyguy_t430s_: account-plugin-irc, not installed by default I think | 05:11 |
| phunyguy_t430s_ | sweet, thanks | 05:11 |
| c_smith | markhammel, might be a good idea | 05:12 |
| xxiao | install ubuntu 10.04 from a usb stick, the grub.cfg takes my first hard drive as (hd1), so after usb stick is unplugged, the system won't boot | 05:13 |
| xxiao | i must have the usb-stick plugged to boot the hard-drive installation??? | 05:13 |
| phunyguy_t430s | there we are. | 05:14 |
| markhammel | c_smith i think its cause i had a second virtualbox running even when i tried to delete it | 05:14 |
| xxiao | with usb-stick it's called sda, the hard drive is sdb, and grub.cfg stays that way, sucks | 05:14 |
| c_smith | markhammel, might be. | 05:14 |
| blackness | xxiao, impossible, ive used the USB liveCD...and its never done this, except when i installed it on the wrong drive. | 05:14 |
| xxiao | tried grub-install --root-directory did not help | 05:14 |
| blackness | did you overwrite your USB stick? | 05:14 |
| xxiao | blackness: i know, i installed ubuntu many times too | 05:14 |
| markhammel | hmm when i try sudo apt-get purge virtualbox | 05:15 |
| markhammel | it says virtual box is not installed so not removed | 05:15 |
| xxiao | i used the create-startup-disk menu to create those usb sticks, as usual | 05:15 |
| blackness | did you select SDA instead of SDB on accident? and your system drive should be on IDE0/SATA0. why its slaved is beyond me. | 05:15 |
| blackness | i use usb-creator-gtk | 05:15 |
| xxiao | this is the first time the usb-stick will treat itself as sda while the hard drive as sdb and after the installation it needs to remain that order | 05:15 |
| xxiao | i.e. usb-stick plugged in all the time | 05:15 |
| markhammel | c_smith does this look normal? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1341789/ | 05:16 |
| xxiao | and it ignores usb-stick after the installation at boot time, i had to re-create the stick to boot from usb | 05:16 |
| xxiao | absurd | 05:16 |
| xxiao | not sure if it's caused by the uefi(disabled) Dell XPS 8500 machine | 05:16 |
| escott | xxiao, manually edit the grub.cfg to reference the correct disk | 05:16 |
| blackness | i'd start over. and take your time and make sure that your using the right drive. | 05:16 |
| xxiao | escott: tried that, grub will give strange errors | 05:16 |
| blackness | burn ubuntu to CD. | 05:17 |
| escott | xxiao, it shouldn't... what errors are you getting | 05:17 |
| xxiao | spent 7 hours on that | 05:17 |
| xxiao | grub_rescue | 05:17 |
| phunyguy_t430s | wait, UEFI errors? Booting from USB stick? | 05:17 |
| blackness | and install VIA that method and it should only find your installed harddrive. | 05:17 |
| phunyguy_t430s | If so, tell the USB stick to boot Legacy, not UEFI. | 05:17 |
| phunyguy_t430s | hope that helps. | 05:17 |
| xxiao | the bios supports UEFI, this is some new machine from Dell, however i disabled uefi in bios | 05:17 |
| blackness | why did you disable it? | 05:18 |
| xxiao | i installed ubuntu many times, never saw this | 05:18 |
| phunyguy_t430s | xxiao, are you booting from USB stick? | 05:18 |
| xxiao | blackness: it's disabled by default | 05:18 |
| xxiao | phunyguy_t430s: yes | 05:18 |
| blackness | yes he is phunyguy_t430s | 05:18 |
| phunyguy_t430s | are you getting a boot menu to try Ubuntu or install it? or...? | 05:18 |
| xxiao | it boots fine, installed ok, however reboot mandates usb-plugged-in | 05:18 |
| phunyguy_t430s | that is my point xxiao | 05:18 |
| JONATHANDAWDY | hey im in trubble | 05:19 |
| phunyguy_t430s | i just went through this. | 05:19 |
| xxiao | modify grub.cfg, grub-install, update-grub, none helped | 05:19 |
| blackness | xxiao, re-enable it, your actual harddrive should be SDA..ive never seen a drive show up as SDB. except when i slaved drives with IDE cords. | 05:19 |
| JONATHANDAWDY | can i ask a really important question here quick and should be easy | 05:19 |
| phunyguy_t430s | xxiao, get to a boot menu where you can select boot device, then pick the USB stick as a whole, not UEFI mode | 05:19 |
| xxiao | phunyguy_t430s: the installation is normal, i got the try and install option, which i opted the latter | 05:19 |
| phunyguy_t430s | xxiao as a boot option or in the gui? | 05:19 |
| xxiao | phunyguy_t430s: yes | 05:20 |
| blackness | xxiao, reboot and hit F9 to get a boot menu. | 05:20 |
| escott | xxiao, where is the bootloader. can you confirm it is on the hard disk mbr | 05:20 |
| xxiao | blackness: tried that, hit F12 that is | 05:20 |
| markhammel | Okay sweet i have a good feeling about it this time around | 05:20 |
| phunyguy_t430s | ok well, get a boot menu, prolly f9 or f12 | 05:20 |
| blackness | oh, mine is F9. | 05:20 |
| xxiao | escott: it's , i checked the advanced option during installation, it's on /dev/sda | 05:20 |
| phunyguy_t430s | then boot legacy mode or pick the USB device as a top level option | 05:20 |
| blackness | so many people helping you, im gonna let them take this :) | 05:20 |
| phunyguy_t430s | i JUST went through this | 05:20 |
| xxiao | hold on, /dev/sda should be usb-stick in this case...so it installs to usb-stick? | 05:20 |
| xxiao | however i don't have a sdb option | 05:21 |
| escott | xxiao, well sda is the usb... so if the bootloader is on the usb you certainly wont be able to boot without the usb | 05:21 |
| xxiao | shot | 05:21 |
| escott | xxiao, i would do a manual install of grub to sdb, and modify the grub.cfg to reference sda. remove the usb stick reboot and you should be good | 05:21 |
| JONATHANDAWDY | hey will anyone help me | 05:21 |
| xxiao | the partition stage at usb-boot-installation is shown the hard-drive as sda | 05:21 |
| JONATHANDAWDY | helloooo | 05:21 |
| xxiao | however after the installation it's sdb | 05:21 |
| JONATHANDAWDY | HELLOOO | 05:22 |

| JONATHANDAWDY | lol lots of words | 05:26 |
| escott | JONATHANDAWDY, do you mean "chkdsk" which is a windows command? | 05:26 |

| JONATHANDAWDY | yes | 05:27 |

| ThoughtWeaver | paulsombody: not punting this as an answer, but I had something similar a few years ago and it was becasue the board had some automagic voodoo built in to 'detect' if you wanted to use the port for a mic or an extra set of speakers... | 05:54 |
| paulsomebody | ThoughtWeaver: I'll think about it, thanks. | 05:54 |
| escott | jonathandawdy, sounds like your NTFS partition was corrupted. you should boot windows and run chkdsk on that partition | 05:55 |
| jonathandawdy | i cant boot | 05:55 |
| jonathandawdy | i said i boot with grub-rescue | 05:55 |
| ThoughtWeaver | you are welcome | 05:55 |
| escott | jonathandawdy, then get a windows rescue CD | 05:55 |
| jonathandawdy | my windows doesnt work at all its broken. latley ubuntu has been my only boot. windows btw doesnt repair and is a diffrent matter | 05:56 |
| escott | jonathandawdy, you also need to be more specific in your description of problems... its really unclear. what partition is not working? you never specified? | 05:56 |
| paulsomebody | ThoughtWeaver: It is precisely my issue — there is a faulty audio auto-detect feature on the motherboard. | 05:57 |
| paulsomebody | ThoughtWeaver: Thank you for giving me a good idea. | 05:57 |
| ThoughtWeaver | You are most welcome! glad i could help! | 05:57 |
| MikeS11 | ThoughtWeaver: Hrm. Not too much info on this... I have moved to books now. I expect I'm going suddenly run into the answer and go, "d'oh". | 05:59 |
| escott | paulsomebody, ive also seen that as a misconfiguration of the intel HDA pin configuration | 05:59 |
| ThoughtWeaver | I really appreciate the help Mike511 | 05:59 |
| paulsomebody | escott: Will keep that possibility in mind, thanks. | 06:00 |
| mrfgizug | what would you recommend for a partition table for ubuntu 12.04 desktop, 500 G HD, 4GRam? I would like the paritions to help me keep my data safe/separate when i upgrade my OS | 06:01 |
| MikeS11 | ThoughtWeaver: No problem. I saw your question and went, "What is that?". I looked it up and I then thought, "This could be useful..." :) | 06:01 |
| escott | mrfgizug, 10-20gb for / | 06:02 |

| escott | mrfgizug, if you want a /boot or have a particular hardware need for one | 06:04 |
| mrfgizug | is / where everything goes, including boot? | 06:04 |
| gear4 | it seems that a fresh Ubuntu 12.10 install from ISO/Disk fixed my problem | 06:04 |
| gear4 | thanks anyhow | 06:04 |

| MikeS11 | ThoughtWeaver: What does your SOA look like (you can obfuscate the domain name if you like)? | 06:06 |
| mrfgizug | escott if i say... install inkscape, where does that go? | 06:06 |
| escott | mrfgizug, various places under / | 06:06 |
| MikeS11 | ThoughtWeaver: Also (and maybe more importantly), what are your NS records for the domain? | 06:08 |
| ThoughtWeaver | Mike511: Sorry was banking :) gimme a sec to get it | 06:09 |
| mrfgizug | escott im planning on doing a bunch of media (video editing, sound editing, lots of pix, at the least these will be installed, libre office, inkscape, gimp, audacity) is 20g enough for the / or would you recommend higher? (of course any output files will be in home somewhere, so i might not need much / compared to /home.) do i have the right idea or is it overkill? | 06:09 |
| MikeS11 | ThoughtWeaver: Or if you want (put this on paste.ubuntu.com), you could throw out something like: "select * from dns_records where zone like '%domain.com%';" | 06:10 |

| rodayo_ | Sorry if this is un related. But is there a way to make grub boot from a usb drive when it's at the "rescue" prompt? When I turn on my machine it goes straight to the rescue prompt and i can't access the bios menu to change the boot order... | 06:51 |
| somsip | rodayo_: BIOS boot order menu should come up first | 06:54 |
| rodayo_ | somsip, i'd think so too...with a ubuntu live usb I made it will boot straight into that but with this windows 8 usb i made that's not the case | 06:54 |
| jonathandawdy | press f12 or f10 | 06:55 |
| jonathandawdy | rodayo | 06:55 |
| somsip | rodayo_: No idea about windows 8. AIUI BIOS always boots first, but the new things with Win8, dunno | 06:55 |
| jonathandawdy | at boot press f12 or f10 it normally says | 06:55 |
| jonathandawdy | its depends on the computer manufacure | 06:56 |
| rodayo_ | jonathandawdy, right, in mine the first screen says to press Esc for some "setup" stuff(can't quite recall) but that doesn't do anything | 06:56 |
| rodayo_ | is it possible to do it from grub? | 06:56 |
| jonathandawdy | no | 06:57 |
| jonathandawdy | grub is after | 06:57 |
| jonathandawdy | but at the screen where it says pres esc for setup it may say press f10 or f12 for boot-screen | 06:57 |
| jonathandawdy | if it doesnt then you may have to reboot 12 times but each time press the f1-12 buton (a difrent one each time) and just keep pressing it ok | 06:58 |
| rodayo_ | one sec, lemme give it a try | 06:58 |
| jonathandawdy | then when a windows popps up choose your use drive | 06:58 |

| aristidesfl | somsip but how com I don't have any line regarding eth0 on /etc/network/interfaces ? | 07:05 |

| sbarcteam | I don't want to add it to /etc/fstab. It is a removable device. I think. | 07:22 |
| IanWizard-Cloud | sbarcteam: you can add it by uuid (to fstab) | 07:22 |
| MikeS11 | sbarcteam: Might be a little complex but..... http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html | 07:23 |
| sbarcteam | IanWizard-Cloud: you mean by partition's uuid ? | 07:23 |
| IanWizard-Cloud | sbarcteam: yes. | 07:24 |
| MikeS11 | Erin: Within your php5-fpm config file you can specify the "listen_address" which includes the port. Check you config and see what it is set for. | 07:24 |

| blackness | Synt, are you running a firewall? | 07:37 |
| Synt | not that i know of | 07:37 |
| Erin | MikeS11, i added listen_address = 127.0.0.1:9000 to the file, reloaded the daemon but still its not listening.. | 07:37 |
| Synt | atleast i havent installed one by choice on teh ubuntu | 07:38 |

| jonathandawdy | isnt 127.0.0.1:9000 LOOP PORT | 07:39 |
| Synt | somehow i can't ping it or login to the ftp from a company ip but from my home computer i can access it fine | 07:39 |

| Erin | Synt, just tried that too a minute ago still doesn't like it, is it under [global] section ? | 07:45 |
| MikeS11 | Erin: Looking at examples, it looks like Synt may be correct. But that is weird that their homepage wiki says listen_address. :/ | 07:46 |
| Synt | might need to comment out "listen = /run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock" | 07:46 |
| Erin | well its not spitting out errors now | 07:46 |
| Erin | but its still not listening | 07:47 |
| Erin | Synt, I dont have that line | 07:48 |

| Synt | not sure then. | 07:48 |
| Synt | jonathandawdy still here? | 07:49 |
| MikeS11 | http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.fpm.configuration.php It looks like you need to put the listen entry under a "pool" directive (ie. not global). | 07:49 |
| Erin | MikeS11, ahh | 07:49 |
| Jordan_U | frjaalrex: Do you have UEFI firmware? | 07:50 |

| Erin | listen = 127:0.0.1:9000 | 07:52 |
| Jordan_U | frjaalrex: Using fdisk, mark the EFI protective partition as "active". (If this works then you have a buggy BIOS). | 07:52 |

| Trudko | ofc I would probably get some without UI | 07:53 |
| MikeS11 | Erin: (proably a typo) | 07:53 |
| Jordan_U | frjaalrex: Note that fdisk will complain since it's GPT, Since you're not actually changing partitions though it's safe. | 07:53 |

| maum | how can I solve this problem | 08:16 |
| iceroot | maum: we cant guess what your script looks like | 08:16 |
| iceroot | maum: also see #bash | 08:16 |
| maum | the command was ./a&;./b& | 08:16 |
| yud1z | afternoon people | 08:17 |
| BeiFong | it's so small. what does it do? | 08:17 |
| iceroot | maum: ./a & ./b & | 08:17 |

| cornihilio | excuse me, how do I fix this error?: * Missing C library: pcre | 08:18 |
| qouzi | guys, when i start the computer i hit " ctrl + alt +t to get terminal up, then i run xchat to come here. Now i have qbittorrent installed, but all this will end with i got many terminals up.. couse when i close the terminal the pogram goes as well.. can i merge this ? | 08:19 |
| cornihilio | I tried searching the ubuntu packages but nothing seemed like it was obviously that lib, and apt-get install pcre didn't do anything | 08:19 |
| iceroot | qouzi: use screen | 08:19 |
| iceroot | !screen | qouzi | 08:19 |
| ubottu | qouzi: screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. The 'byobu' package provides very useful additional utilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen | 08:19 |
| iceroot | qouzi: screen will be holding your porgram so it will not die when you close the terminal | 08:20 |
| st0ne | hey gysss | 08:20 |

| iceroot | the_dark_knight: #python | 08:22 |
| st0ne | he | 08:22 |
| dathui | iceroot: aha, so if i add the lines in a file there it should be the same thing as adding them to the file i get when running crontab -e? | 08:22 |
| iceroot | dathui: no, when using /etc/cron.d/ you have also to specify a user | 08:22 |
| iceroot | dathui: * * * * * username /bin/command | 08:22 |
| iceroot | dathui: also you have to put PATH in the file if you dont want to write /bin/ping instead of ping for example | 08:23 |
| emissar | hi all | 08:23 |
| iceroot | dathui: you can copy the PATH line which is shown when using crontab -e | 08:23 |
| dathui | iceroot: aha, thanks | 08:23 |
| iceroot | dathui: http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/shell-scripting/threads/166819/how-do-i-edit-crontab-using-a-script# | 08:24 |
| iceroot | dathui: maybe that is usefull too but i prefer /etc/cron.d/ instead | 08:25 |
| dathui | iceroot: thanks, i'll look into both. so far it seems like cron.d is a cleaner solution... | 08:26 |
| Synt | is there any file containing a list of blocked ip:s for ubuntu? | 08:27 |
| Erin | k so I installed ngix/php/mysql got them all to play nice. now I just need to learn how to code PHP! | 08:27 |
| iceroot | Synt: /etc/hosts.deny | 08:28 |
| === fork is now known as Guest71600 | ||
| iceroot | Erin: #php :) | 08:28 |
| Synt | damn, it's empty | 08:29 |
| iceroot | Synt: then have a look at iptables/ufw | 08:29 |
| iceroot | !ufw | Synt | 08:29 |
| ubottu | Synt: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. | 08:29 |
| Synt | then i'm all out of ideas why i can't access the server from the company ip | 08:29 |
| Synt | yea can't find it blocked in iptables and ufw either | 08:30 |
| iceroot | Synt: by default nothing is blocked in ubuntu, so if you did not set up iptables rules i guess the network is missconfigured | 08:31 |
| iceroot | Synt: are they in the same network? if not, if a route is available? | 08:31 |
| cihhan | Hi all! Can I learn the amount of disk operations (in MB/GB) of the instances from xentop? It gives information about the requests and the sectors, but I couldn't find how I can learn the total amount of data. | 08:31 |
| frjaalrex | Jordan_U that worked! :) Thanks a lot. May i know what was the prob ? | 08:31 |
| Synt | it's a public ip for the ubuntu | 08:31 |
| Synt | run off esxi | 08:31 |
| Synt | i can access it from my home computer | 08:31 |
| Synt | i can't access it from my company's ip tho | 08:32 |
| iceroot | Synt: maybe your company has a firewall? | 08:32 |
| Synt | i can access other ftps just fine and ping other computers fine | 08:32 |
| Synt | yes we have a cisco asa 5505 | 08:32 |
| iceroot | Synt: try "nmap -p port hostname" to reach the machine, if it will say "filtered" its a firewall | 08:33 |
| Synt | but it's not blocking ftp or icmp | 08:33 |
| Synt | from the ubuntu? | 08:33 |
| iceroot | Synt: from the machine you are trying to reach the server | 08:33 |
| Synt | the machine trying to reach the server is not linux tho | 08:34 |
| iceroot | Synt: also remember ftps is using a different port then ftp | 08:34 |

| Synt | does pure ftpd have the ability to ban ip's? | 08:46 |
| iceroot | Synt: maybe a traceroute will show you the machine which is blocking | 08:47 |
| iceroot | Synt: everything can ban ips | 08:47 |
| Goauld | darmok and jalad at tanagra | 08:47 |
| iceroot | Synt: e.g. by using /etc/hosts.deny or failtoban | 08:47 |
| Synt | failtoban? | 08:47 |
| iceroot | Synt: failtoban will block a ip when there are to many failing logins from that machine | 08:48 |
| iceroot | Synt: fail2ban is imo the correct name | 08:48 |
| Goauld | f2b is good | 08:48 |

However, when I try to boot that disk, it just hangs with a blank screen (apparently before or around the very start of grub). Any thoughts on what's wrong? | 09:30 |

| cjs | ryoqun: Do you mean iostat? | 09:32 |
| Jordan_U | dougbb: I would appreciate it if you would file a bug report even if you do get it working. If nobody files a bug report, then the bug probably won't get fixed. | 09:33 |
| ryoqun | cjs: nope. | 09:33 |
| cjs | ryoqun: Can you explain more precisely what this tool shows you? | 09:33 |
| dougbb | Jordan_U: yeah, if it's a bug I will file a report, it won't be my first :) | 09:33 |
| ryoqun | its name was like dumpblk or like that. | 09:33 |
| cjs | ryoqun: Is this something that shows you statistics about operations in progress, or something about the (static) configuration of your system? | 09:34 |
| ryoqun | cjs: iirc, it's run like strace, and after executing it shows list of detailed io requests. | 09:34 |
| ryoqun | cjs: the former | 09:35 |
| cjs | Ah, basically an strace for IO on a disk. I've never heard of it, but I'm quite curious to find out what it is. | 09:35 |
| ryoqun | yeah. | 09:35 |
| cjs | ryoqun: Oh, wait, this isn't the one used for optimizing bootup speed, is it? | 09:35 |
| ryoqun | I didn't know that upto recently. I somehow lost a bookmark for it ;) | 09:36 |
| lahla | Hi | 09:36 |
| cjs | The one that produces a list of all blocks that were accessed, so that you can then warm you disk cache more quickly (for rotating disks) by reading the blocks in block number order? | 09:36 |

| Kaco | morning | 09:48 |
| TheLordOfTime | Erin: the web server has to be configured to accept SSL | 09:49 |
| TheLordOfTime | Erin: you may want to read up on whatever web server you use's docs | 09:49 |
| Erin | ahhhh | 09:49 |
| Erin | good call didn't even think of that, I just got nginx/php/mysql up and running tonight ;-P | 09:49 |
| RawProduce | interesting article about the new breed of developers working on gnome & ubuntu - https://igurublog.wordpress.com/2012/11/05/gnome-et-al-rotting-in-threes | 09:50 |
| TheLordOfTime | Erin: you may want to read up on how to set up SSL in nginx. or join #nginx and ask. | 09:51 |
| dougbb | oh, another question ... I just recently started using compiz with xfce, and my mozilla windows sometimes lose their decorations and need to be restarted | 09:51 |
| Erin | TheLordOfTime, yup a project for tomorrow, getting php to work was a small nightmare ;-P | 09:51 |
| dougbb | I've searched for solutions to this, and none of the ones I have found work | 09:51 |
| cjs | Oh, hm. So gtk-usb-creator appears to crash only on 64-bit systems when using the 12.04.1 server image (i386 or adm64). | 09:52 |
| TheLordOfTime | Erin: i set it up in 5 minutes. not sure what nightmare you'd run into, though... its easy :P | 09:52 |
| cjs | Would there be someone around with a 64-bit 12.04 install that could confirm this for me? | 09:52 |
| Erin | TheLordOfTime, php5-fpm wasnt listening on default port, the guide didn't cover the steps required to make it listen | 09:52 |
| mobhero | hi, after given password to login my ubuntu pc, its coming back and asking the passsword again, pls help me about this. | 09:53 |
| TheLordOfTime | Erin: which Ubuntu are you on? | 09:53 |
| TheLordOfTime | which version. | 09:53 |
| Erin | 12.10 | 09:53 |
| TheLordOfTime | Erin: read this: http://lordoftime.info/?p=39 | 09:53 |
| Erin | I had to figure out the "pool" settings in the php5-fpm config file | 09:53 |
| TheLordOfTime | Erin: i blogged about this since i kinda helped expedite the change. | 09:53 |
| TheLordOfTime | Erin: if you had joined #nginx and asked, we'd have gotten that fixed quickly | 09:53 |
| Erin | TheLordOfTime, well its alrdy working | 09:53 |
| TheLordOfTime | Erin: in any case, you should read the documentation of nginx on how to configure SSL. you'll need a *real* cert for it to work though. | 09:54 |
| BeiFong | Why do we use password when all it takes to break into our computer is one page on password recovery which any person could think of. | 09:54 |
| Erin | TheLordOfTime, kk cool. im dead tired though so it'll be tomorrow ;-) | 09:54 |
| TheLordOfTime | Erin: well, #nginx can help. so can I, but good luck finding me tomorrow :P | 09:54 |
| Erin | TheLordOfTime, but before I go basically my issue with php was it just wasn't setup to listen on port 9000 like it was supposed to be | 09:55 |
| TheLordOfTime | Erin: i know. i was the one that pioneered the change to make it listen on a UNIX socket. all detailed in my blog. | 09:55 |
| Erin | TheLordOfTime, and none of the guides I found covered setting up the "pool" settings it required | 09:55 |
| Erin | ahh im not using a socket im using port 9000 obviously, its working just fine now. | 09:56 |
| TheLordOfTime | Erin: google != your friend, the location where those guides are are not search-engined. | 09:56 |
| llutz | BeiFong: if your computer can be accessed by more than 1 user, recovery should be the first thing to be removed from boot-options | 09:56 |
| Erin | im new to all this I dont even know php (yet) lol | 09:56 |
| lovre | why cant i make a symbolic link pointing to a file on ntfs partition? i tried: ln -s file_on_ntfs my_link | 09:56 |
| Erin | lovre, prolly cause its ntfs.. | 09:57 |
| dougbb | lovre: what error do you get? | 09:57 |
| dougbb | and what file system are you on when you try it? | 09:57 |
| lovre | dougbb: i dont get an error, the link is created, but when i open it its just empty | 09:57 |
| lovre | dougbb: im on ext4 | 09:57 |
| dougbb | lovre: Ok, is the ntfs file system mounted? | 09:57 |
| dougbb | and did you use the full path to the file on the ntfs partition? | 09:58 |
| lovre | dougbb: seems to be, I can open it in Thunar and from the Terminal | 09:58 |
| dougbb | lovre, what does 'ls -l link' tell you about where it thinks the file is? | 09:59 |
| BeiFong | llutz, boot options. you mean the grub.cfg? | 09:59 |
| lovre | dougbb: it shows the correct path, but only relative, not apsolute, is this ok? | 10:00 |
| dougbb | lovre: depends on what you mean by relative | 10:00 |
| lovre | dougbb: it says: myLink -> target.txt | 10:00 |
| lovre | dougbb: doesnt say myLink -> /path/to/target.txt | 10:00 |
| dougbb | lovre: you need to supply the full path | 10:00 |
| lovre | ah | 10:00 |
| dougbb | how else will the ext4 fs know where the file is located? | 10:00 |
| dougbb | ln -s foo bar refers to a local file 'foo' in that same directory | 10:01 |
| lovre | dougbb: i missunderstood how ln worked, i thought since i was at the right directory in the terminal, that it would be appended automatically, which would be kind of logical | 10:01 |
| dougbb | lovre: it actually wouldn't be logical at all :) | 10:02 |
| dougbb | but learning why is part of the process of learning unix system administration | 10:02 |
| lovre | dougbb: well, i dont know why.. yet :D | 10:02 |
| dougbb | exactly | 10:02 |
| llutz | BeiFong: yes, like "GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_RECOVERY=true" in /etc/default/grub | 10:03 |
| lovre | dougbb: from my pov it seems logical because like when i rm a file, i just type a name if i am positioned correctly, no need for a full path | 10:03 |
| dougbb | lovre: I think you're confusing the target and the link | 10:03 |
| lovre | dougbb: hmm, it seems to still not work :( | 10:04 |
| dougbb | ... and the relative point of view of each file system | 10:04 |
| lovre | dougbb: sorry, i was mistaken, it works now | 10:05 |
| lovre | dougbb: well, im here to learn aint i :D | 10:05 |

| cjs | Okcf: So what I did was create two partitions on the disk, both set to "use as RAID physical volume" in the installer. One has an ext4 mounted on /boot, the other an LVM with /root and swap in it. (This is what I did back in the 8.04 days, where that all seemed to work fine.) | 10:45 |

| Wh1tebird | bpuzzled, i can see grub, i can see memtest, but no ubuntu | 12:37 |
| savio | can you paste your /etc/default/grub file | 12:38 |
| savio | cjs | 12:38 |
| Ampersand | hello everyone! I have a question: could you please tell me what the command or key combination for "Switch user account" is in Ubuntu 12.10? I mean, to be directly taken to the login screen, without going to the Lock screen first? Is there such a command or key combination? | 12:38 |
| Wh1tebird | ampersand, i think for that you need to log out, not really sure | 12:38 |
| royale1223 | Wh1tebird: is there a recovery option? | 12:38 |
| Wh1tebird | royale1223, no, only options are memtest and back to windows | 12:39 |
| cjs | savio: Not too easily, though it's exactly what 12.04 server installed. | 12:39 |
| Ampersand | Wh1tebird, yes, I can do it like that, but I was wondering if there's a possibility to go directly to the login screen. Or even if I just lock the screen, without logging out, there's the "Switch user" button on the lock screen that takes me to that. | 12:40 |
| Wh1tebird | and the partition is intact, i can access the files from windws | 12:40 |

| royale1223 | Wh1tebird: You'll need a live cd/usb then. | 12:40 |

| Wh1tebird | royale1223 i have one, what do i have to do from it then? | 12:41 |
| royale1223 | Wh1tebird: How did you install ubuntu? Is this your first time? Have you used any form of linux before? | 12:41 |
| Wh1tebird | This is a dual boot machine on which i installed first ubuntu and then windows. I've used ubuntu many times before. Ubuntu was installed from cd. | 12:42 |
| Wh1tebird | My pc just came back from repair and the entry is gone, don't know if it was the case when i sent him in | 12:42 |
| royale1223 | Wh1tebird: Installed from within windows or by directly booting into the cd? | 12:43 |
| cjs | savio: http://pastebin.com/mjzuzaKX | 12:43 |
| Wh1tebird | bootin in the cd | 12:43 |
| delac | Ampersand: you might want to disable lock screen with dconf org.gnome.desktop.lockdown | 12:43 |
| Wh1tebird | it's not wubi | 12:43 |
| xwit | Doesnt cd ~ put me in /home? | 12:44 |
| royale1223 | Wh1tebird: Good, so boot into the live cd and fire up a terminal. | 12:44 |
| cjs | savio: Note that the GRUB_GFXMODE changes what resolution grub runs in, but that's not what I need. I need whatever tweaks the $linux_gfx_mode variables in /boot/grub/menu.cnf. | 12:44 |
| Wh1tebird | ok, i'll reconnect when logged into the live cd, brb | 12:44 |

Basically, grub works fine, and if the boot process isn't interrupted, I eventually get a login prompt, but if it is, I'm dropped to the busybox prompt.

| shomon | yeah a big black square comes out and I can type program ames | 13:28 |

| dr_willis | andrea_: that makes no sence to me. | 13:28 |

| ThinkT510 | shomon: gnome2 is no longer supported | 13:29 |
| MonkeyDust | !notunity | shomon | 13:29 |
| ubottu | shomon: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 13:29 |
| gordonjcp | I think they got rid of that menu thing because it was stupid and inconvenient | 13:30 |
| dr_willis | shomon: there are 'classic gnome menu' indicator applets and programs for unity and gnome-shell | 13:30 |
| shomon | how do people find programs now on their computer? | 13:30 |
| shomon | I want all the educational programs | 13:30 |
| gordonjcp | shomon: what do you mean, "find" | 13:30 |
| MonkeyDust | shomon we got used to the new interface | 13:30 |
| shomon | if you can do that with this fine.. but typing stuff in that box each time is like gong back to using a VAX | 13:30 |
| STMelon | for old style gnome, suod apt-get install gnome-session-fallback then sudo apt-get install indicator-applet-appmenu then sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool | 13:31 |
| STMelon | sudo* | 13:31 |
| gordonjcp | I just press the Cmd key and type the name of the thing I want | 13:31 |
| shomon | find: I don't know the name of them. I'd put them all in a menu so my daugfhter ca use them | 13:31 |

| GraemeLion | Hi all, question: I use Chrome, but read that Chromium has the Webapps stuff... can I get that in chrome? If not, is Chromium updated or is it lagging behind as usual? | 15:21 |
| brandinhess | riqdiiz: Compiz is a compositing window manager for the X window system. | 15:21 |
| Johnnybam | hi | 15:21 |
| brandinhess | hi | 15:22 |
| LordThumper | GraemeLion: Chromium is Chrome | 15:22 |
| morethananoise | hey, how can i run both unity and xfce on different tty? i want to run two users with x... | 15:22 |
| LordThumper | Without Flash and some other patented stuff | 15:22 |
| riqdiiz | compiz..I've never cin it be4 in the menu? | 15:22 |
| GraemeLion | LordThumper: Eh. In the past, in Ubuntu, Chromium was not maintained or followed well | 15:22 |
| GraemeLion | I'm asking if the releases will be maintained better in the future, before I switch to it | 15:23 |
| brandinhess | riqdiiz: It isn't in the menu, it is embedded in the source code of the Linux operating system. | 15:23 |
| philinux | morethananoise: you can switch users as they choose the session at login | 15:23 |
| morethananoise | philinux: i know, but i want run them on different tty.. | 15:23 |
| riqdiiz | does mean u reach it through term? | 15:23 |
| philinux | morethananoise: no idea then as the default session is set a login | 15:24 |
| morethananoise | philinux: there is such a problem, when i run lightdm on tty1, it starts on tty7, i need it to run on tty1.. | 15:25 |
| philinux | morethananoise: tty 7 is the x session the others are not | 15:25 |
| brandinhess | riqdiiz: No, you don't reach it through your terminal, some distros reach it through their settings menu, if at all applicable. Otherwise, if something happens to your compiz settings, the easiest way to fix it is to create a new user. | 15:25 |
| GraemeLion | Like, for example, Chromium's version in Quantal is 22.0.1229.94.. that's a whole release behind Chrome. | 15:25 |
| MonkeyDust | morethananoise what you want cannot be done | 15:25 |
| JediMaster | are there any regex experts about? I want to delete multiple lines from a file that starts with ^submenu(.*)$ then various lines, then ends with ^\}$ but it must be non-greedy with the end, any ideas? | 15:25 |

| LordThumper | GraemeLion: Ye you are right | 15:26 |
| LordThumper | Any reason you are avoiding Chrome? | 15:27 |
| GraemeLion | LordThumper: Well, Chrome is fine. But Chrome doesn't support the new Unity WebApps | 15:27 |
| LordThumper | I see | 15:28 |
| GraemeLion | So I'm weighing between losing a major Quantal feature, or losing a secure and up to date web browser | 15:29 |

| seasharp | I was curious if I could get a hand.. Running Ubuntu 11.4. Everything ran fine, but I spilled a drink on my laptop last night and yanked the battery to keep anything from shorting. When I rebooted, I can only boot in recovery console, then it boots to X fine, but the screen res maxes out at 1024 x 768 and will not let me get to native resolution. Any suggestions? | 16:09 |

| riqdiiz | what does this do?http://paste.ubuntu.com | 16:10 |
| Elesa | no, like, when I disconnected the laptop from the charger Wi-Fi was EXTREMELY slow | 16:11 |
| Elesa | only after typing that to turn power management off it would run fine again | 16:11 |

| dr_willis | yello: vnc server may not be running a full desktop. or it may be its trying to use unity3d and failing | 16:14 |
| Elesa | yes, and it's really annoying.. I guess that's a bug | 16:15 |
| yello | oh, i had Lubuntu but i installed gnome, its not k? :{ | 16:15 |
| Elesa | Magellanicus, creo que el plugin que buscas se llama IRC Helper | 16:15 |
| Walex | riqdiiz: the paste server allows you to put long text on a temporary place to send to other people | 16:15 |

| philinux | riqdiiz: indeed | 16:15 |
| Walex | Elesa: for the screen resolution issue try using 'xrandr' to see what kind of resolutions it finds | 16:16 |
| Elesa | riqdiiz, yeah, and it even highlights syntax xD | 16:16 |
| yello | so how i fix it? | 16:16 |

| seasharp | thank you Walex :) Let me check now | 16:17 |
| Walex | ah yes <seasharp> | 16:17 |
| dr_willis | check the .vnc directory and configure vnc to run what desktop you want. you may want to set it to use openbox and open a terminal by default | 16:17 |
| philinux | Walex: i dont see this slow down but then again its an intel wireless n | 16:17 |
| Walex | it depends a lot on power saving configuration and how advanced the chipset driver is. | 16:18 |
| yello | what should i change in xstartup ? | 16:18 |
| Walex | whether it is automatic or not. | 16:18 |
| seasharp | Walex, it only shows 800x600, 1024x768 ... xrandr: failed to get size of gamma for output default | 16:18 |
| yello | i dont know the commands.. | 16:18 |
| yello | and i dont want openbox, i want current:{ possible? | 16:19 |
| Elesa | should I file a bug or something? | 16:19 |
| Walex | seasharp: sometimes it works to switch to a console and back so the X server sometimes rereads the list of resolutions from the screen. | 16:19 |
| dr_willis | yello start a terminal, and a minimal window manager. 2 lines like 'xterm &' and 'exec openbox' then kill any running vnc sessions and restart them | 16:19 |
| Elesa | it happened in Natty too | 16:19 |
| dr_willis | yello start small, work your way up | 16:19 |
| seasharp | Gotcha Walex, I will see what I can get done here. Thanks! | 16:19 |
| yello | okok, so i add those 2 lines in terminal or in xstartup? | 16:20 |
| brandinhess | This channel seems to be quite lively this morning. | 16:20 |
| Walex | seasharp: otherwise you can add the missing resolutions with the '--newmode' and '--addmode' options to 'xrandr'. | 16:20 |

| escott | ashel, i would put limits in iptables im sure it can restrict bandwith by port | 16:24 |
| yello | oh | 16:24 |
| yello | no.. | 16:24 |
| dr_willis | xstartup is ran then the vncserver starts up... | 16:25 |
| yello | okokok sec... | 16:25 |
| dr_willis | kill the existing vncserver with the vncserver -kill option (i think) befor restarting it. or you can have several vnc sessions going | 16:26 |
| Walex | ashel: interesting question... | 16:26 |
| ashel | escott: is every operation using different ports? I am curious, because I never saw anything like the problem I have when googling. Right now, for example, if I copy anything, all filemanagers, including MC are grayed out/blocked completely. | 16:26 |
| yello | wait a sec, if i can do & xterm, cant i do & wine Tibia.exe ? its all i need:] | 16:26 |
| ashel | after the copying operation is done, they all become unblocked. | 16:26 |
| jonathonf | Hi. Troubles logging in -> log in, X quits, return to GDM. LightDM doesn't start at all, I presume it's an issue getting information from my profile | 16:27 |
| Walex | ashel: most likely that has nothing to do with NFS or networking. Odds are that you have the wrong flusher and/or elevator parameters on the filetree. | 16:27 |
| jonathonf | Which logs should I look at? | 16:27 |
| escott | ashel, you must be doing a syncronous write | 16:27 |

| SnowmanX11 | Hi Guys! I have been effected by the bug in 12.04, because DVD is not automounted. Does somebody know a workaround? (It is definetly not a hardware error. It is tested.) | 16:27 |
| tada | I relaly need help | 16:28 |
| ashel | Walex: could you suggest the parameters? I use "-o defaults,soft,fg" on client side. | 16:28 |
| yello | xterm works.. | 16:29 |
| ashel | Walex: I will try the async option, thank you for this! | 16:29 |
| Walex | ashel: <escott> pointed out an interesting detail: by default NFS does sync writes, for safety, and if you don't configure the filesystem and storage layer right you get high latency. | 16:29 |
| Walex | ashel: however the 'async' option is very dangerous indeed. | 16:29 |
| Walex | ashel: you should use it only if you understand it very well, and you know you don't mind the side effects. | 16:30 |
| dr_willis | yello: so it seems to be working. tweak it az you need | 16:30 |
| ashel | Walex: But why is Samba not having this problem? Many clients can easily access the filetree and perform operations without being blocked. | 16:30 |
| yello | thanks, if i dont get it working I BE BACK... :[ | 16:31 |
| Walex | ashel: that's another interesting question. My guess is that either file accesses with Samba are not happening as fast as NFS can do them, or Samba is configured for async writing. | 16:31 |
| ztane | anyone having skype login problems? | 16:31 |
| ashel | Walex: Async may mean that I loose packets if bad connections or buffer overflows happen, and thus loose data or leave filesystem damaged if the target machine is abruptlly powered down. | 16:32 |
| aiRfLy | hi | 16:32 |
| ztane | for some reason my skype login on ubuntu does not work but works in windows | 16:32 |
| ashel | Walex: Thank you, I will invistigate. ;) | 16:33 |
| qouzi | Hey i've installed steam on ubuntu, but when i type steam in terminal i get this msg: Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(1352224866_client) | 16:33 |
| ztane | that is works in vmware guest xp but does not work on ubuntu... | 16:33 |
| Walex | ashel: mostly the loss in case of power loss or system crash. | 16:33 |
| Walex | ashel: probably you like everybody else should switch to have around 100MB as the value of 'vm.dirty_ratio_bytes' and to 'deadline' as the disk elevator. | 16:34 |
| Walex | where 100MB really is "about 1 second of storage layer bandwidth". | 16:34 |
| escott | ashel, Walex, reading through the NFS docs... i wouldn't recommend setting async on the server... this seems more like a client issue. the client should be doing async actions, but is evidently doing sync actions (so the write has to finish before the reads can be queued. there is a server async option but that just means that in the presence of a sync request from the client the server out and out lies to the client claiming its done | 16:37 |
| escott | when it isnt | 16:37 |

| roasudy | what? | 16:38 |

| n-iCe | hello, is there any way to select just all the text in a opt presentation on oppenoffice impress? thanks | 16:42 |
| Elesa | OpenOffice..? I thought it was called LibreOffice now | 16:42 |
| Elesa | you mean all the text on the whole presentation? | 16:43 |
| cladmi | When I installed "virtual box guest additions" the user created by guest additions uses the UID 999, which breaks casper boot as it tries to create a user with uid 999 | 16:43 |
| escott | Elesa, there are two projects. Libre is GPL, Open is Apache. | 16:43 |
| Elesa | but they are the same, right? | 16:44 |
| Elesa | or is one better than the other? | 16:44 |
| cladmi | The thing is, the chosen "uid" is not dynamic, and the documentation on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization | 16:44 |
| cladmi | says "After customization make sure that there are no users with an UID > 999. Otherwise your image won't boot because no initial user is available (see /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/casper-bottom/10adduser)." | 16:45 |
| escott | Elesa, they are different. its a license fork and code can't go between the two. some of the big corporate interests (ie Oracle) are behind Open, but much of the community is behind Libre. Libre is shipped with ubuntu-desktop | 16:45 |

| tada | I can't install ubuntu, I need help | 16:54 |
| SnowmanX11 | tada: specifically? | 16:54 |
| tada | SnowmanX11: I also have an issue with 12.04, the install boot menu is freezing up | 16:54 |
| tada | I see the install boot menu screen but I can't choose anything, and I dont know why | 16:55 |
| tada | sometimes I hear a loud peep by trying it again | 16:55 |

| escott | SnowmanX11, what is the output of "groups" | 16:56 |
| SnowmanX11 | tada: many people have problem with video card driver vs new xorg | 16:56 |
| tada | I had ubuntu 10.x before | 16:56 |
| SnowmanX11 | escott: snowmanx11 adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare | 16:56 |
| SnowmanX11 | tada | 16:56 |
| SnowmanX11 | tada: try 12.04 first | 16:57 |
| tada | ubuntu said my old 10.x release wont be supported anymore, that's why I tried to install 12.04 lts | 16:57 |
| tada | but I did Snow | 16:57 |
| SnowmanX11 | tada: this an LTS and have lots of support | 16:57 |
| tada | I tried, it freezes up | 16:57 |
| SnowmanX11 | tada: ok, I tought that was 12.10 | 16:57 |
| escott | SnowmanX11, that looks fine. when you put the DVD in what is the output of "mount" | 16:58 |
| atouk_ | zykotick9, sorry, but i think i found the problem. I installed again ubuntu 11.04 because 12.04 or 12.10 didn't match with my computer. Then i think i did a mistake with the partition, i've got only 8GB instead of 80... Thank you! (Sorry for my english,i'm french :D) | 16:58 |
| SnowmanX11 | tada: try live cd and test hardware | 16:58 |
| yello | yo:{ , i cannot start in xstartup vnc file lxterminal with exec openbox & lxterminal.. and i cannot do wine Tibia.exe.. what should i do :[ | 16:58 |
| SnowmanX11 | escott: nothing regarding to cdrom | 16:58 |
| yello | all gray still.. | 16:58 |
| tada | SnowmanX11: this is a netbook and it does not have a cd-drive, I have to do this by usb | 16:58 |
| dr_willis | yello: exec whatever should be the last line.... | 16:59 |
| SnowmanX11 | escott: if I use k3b than everything is correctly mounted and able to eject | 16:59 |
| SnowmanX11 | esco | 16:59 |
| escott | SnowmanX11, does udisks --mount /dev/sr0 mount the dvd | 16:59 |
| dr_willis | yello other commands & go befor it. | 16:59 |
| tada | right now I'm formatting my usb stick again, maybe it's an issue with my usb stick | 16:59 |
| Windy | http://www.ubuntu.com | 16:59 |
| SnowmanX11 | escott: sometimes the mount work and dvd starts, but it is very rare | 16:59 |
| SnowmanX11 | tada: usb is just fine to try "livecd" | 16:59 |
| ashel | Walex, escott: Thank you very much. I have ressolved the case fairly quick now, after you indicated that its client mount issue. This is not kernel issue, because SMB performs good. The true reason is the client mount options. First "-o defaults" does not work or is ignored by the system. Second, lowering write speed and highering read speed remove the blockade "wsize=8192,rsize=16384" - the write speed for 1Gbit link to server is still in | 16:59 |
| ashel | 100MiB range, but there is no blockade anymore. But adding option "nolock" futher improved responsibility, so that the final mount options are "-o rw,soft,nolock,wsize=8192,rsize=16384" and they work VERY well - 30 parallel transfers of large file quantities in both directions and I can view a video at same time directly from server. Thank you!! | 16:59 |
| yello | okay | 16:59 |
| dr_willis | nothing runs after the exec.... | 17:00 |
| SnowmanX11 | escott: Mount failed: Error mounting: mount: no medium found on /dev/sr0 | 17:00 |
| SnowmanX11 | escott: this is what I get usually | 17:01 |
| escott | SnowmanX11, try /dev/dvd not sure what the device is | 17:01 |
| food | I don't have now any(big) problem with 12.10 on XPS 12.10... I am really happy that my computer is not freezing after 24 hours | 17:01 |
| Walex | ashel: that is not the write/read speed, but the read/write transaction size. If a larger one was causing problems then you probably have a network packet loss issue that was causing reassembly. | 17:01 |
| SnowmanX11 | escott: same with dvd cdrom etc... | 17:01 |
| SnowmanX11 | escott: it is a known bug in 12.04 | 17:02 |
| under | Hi, when i go to extract, in a zip, a dir with a name that contains oriental chars, I get this error: caution: filename not matched: D\-\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?/DSCF8351.JPG | 17:02 |
| escott | SnowmanX11, ok. then follow the bug report i guess | 17:02 |
| SnowmanX11 | escott: I had a well working 12.04. I have upgraded to 12.10 but it failed due to ATI vs new Xorg issue. Downgraded to 12.04 have this bug | 17:02 |

| bobboau_ | oh, crap wrong window | 17:03 |
| bobboau_ | sorry | 17:04 |
| Walex | under: most likely a character set mismatch. GNU/Linux distributions use UTF-8, many east asian countries use local characters sets/encodings. | 17:05 |
| under | Walex: ok, so? | 17:05 |
| Walex | under: you have to figure out which character set used to encode file paths in the ZIP, and then convert them to UTF-8. | 17:06 |
| yello | yoyo, i got terminal working in openbox.. but i cannot start wine game, why? | 17:07 |
| under | Walex: omg, in windows and with winrar I dont have such as this issues. | 17:07 |

| yello | ok, now it says "video allocation failed" :[ | 17:07 |
| sarutahiko | I created a new wireless connection in the network manager but there doesn't seem to be a way to connect to it. how do i select it for connection? | 17:08 |
| BrianBlaze | tada hows that going? | 17:08 |
| escott | under, you might also try enabling codepages in your locale if they are not enabled | 17:09 |
| Walex | under: alternatively switch temporarily the locale to the same character set as the ZIP file, and then use 'convmv' to convert the filenames to UTF-8. | 17:09 |
| SnowmanX11 | escott: any other idea? | 17:09 |
| tada | BrianBlaze: I tried to install ubuntu 12.04 but the install boot menu freezes up, people suggest to try a live-cd, but how can I try this when I still can't access the install boot menu? | 17:09 |
| BrianBlaze | you hit f12 (or whatever to change the boot order)with a boot cd in the drive | 17:10 |
| tada | I keep telling, I see the ubuntu install boot screen | 17:11 |
| tada | but it freezes up | 17:11 |
| tada | I hit f12, I choose usb-fdd, I see the ubuntu install boot screen, and that's it | 17:11 |
| sarutahiko | does anyone know how to connect to a custom wireless connection (edit connections ... wireless ... add+ ...)? It's not showing up in the connection list. | 17:11 |
| BrianBlaze | but it freezes... | 17:11 |
| BrianBlaze | I would make the usb again | 17:11 |
| BrianBlaze | see if that fixes it | 17:12 |
| escott | sarutahiko, you mean your router is configured not to broadcast? | 17:12 |
| yello | ey, how do i start x window manager in VNC (terminal) without making other screen change? if i write startx, the other screen logs into x window manager. | 17:12 |
| tada | I tried to make the usb again, same results | 17:12 |
| BrianBlaze | I have made bootable usb's that didn't work and I end up making them again and then they do | 17:12 |
| yello | plz | 17:12 |
| BrianBlaze | damn.. | 17:12 |
| tada | yeah | 17:12 |
| tada | one said it's because of the new x server | 17:12 |
| sarutahiko | escott: it is. but there are a bunch of different access points and I need to make a custom connection to select the strongest BSSID since my wireless card jumps around and can't maintain a connection. | 17:12 |
| tada | if this is the case, I can't use ubuntu anyhow anymore | 17:13 |
| yello | any 1know ? | 17:13 |
| BrianBlaze | is it a 64 bit on a 32 bit computer? | 17:13 |
| tada | 32 bit | 17:13 |
| escott | sarutahiko, you can do it with iwconfig and wpa_supplicant... not sure how to restrict things with network manager though | 17:13 |
| yello | byeeeeeeeeeeeee thanks for not replying :[ | 17:13 |
| sarutahiko | escott: In the edit or make new connection window there is a space for BSSID. So I put in the BSSID I wanted but now I can't select the connectinon that I made. If you can add connectinons shouldn't there be a way to select them? | 17:14 |
| tada | the idea behind this is, if I get the same issue with fedora or other distries, then it's probably because the usb stick is broken or a part of my hardware | 17:14 |
| n-iCe | is this new ubuntu the fastest one? is it true? | 17:15 |

| compdoc | then click the green checkmark to apply | 17:25 |
| escott | CarterMcArthur, thats a partition format, not a partition layout. partitioning splits the large disk into parts for different purposes. formatting prepares those parts for storing data | 17:25 |

| Walex | tsaknorris: or you replace the current window manager with 'compiz'. | 17:42 |
| tsaknorris | escott, lightdm (everything is default) | 17:42 |
| Walex | tsaknorris: the LightDM window manager whatever that is may now support special effects. | 17:43 |
| tsaknorris | if i can get wobbly windows some other way i can remove compiz-config-manager | 17:43 |
| escott | tsaknorris, um.... | 17:43 |
| Shinobi | escott: I'm the owner of the file. I don't think the smb server user is a problem as all the other files have the same owner/group and has never been a problem | 17:43 |
| Walex | tsaknorris: also, it is sort of inconsistent to use LightDM and then enabled heavy-duty special effects... | 17:43 |
| escott | !work | tsaknorris we need to know what happens when you open ccsm... are you not seeing the option for wobbly windows, or are you enabling the option and it has no effect? what is it | 17:43 |
| ubottu | tsaknorris we need to know what happens when you open ccsm... are you not seeing the option for wobbly windows, or are you enabling the option and it has no effect? what is it: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 17:44 |
| hilo | escott, thanks, I will try that to rule out the port/enclosure causing the issue. | 17:44 |
| anykey | how would I set env variables per user on login, like PATH? | 17:44 |
| tsaknorris | ubottu, im enabling it and nothing happens | 17:44 |
| escott | anykey, those are usually set in .bashrc | 17:44 |
| ubottu | tsaknorris: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 17:44 |
| escott | tsaknorris, are you running compiz? | 17:44 |
| anykey | escott: I log in graphically, and want the vars known on desktop | 17:44 |
| escott | anykey, thats different... not sure how that works | 17:44 |
| delac | bobweaver: did you manage to find anything in the dconf? | 17:45 |
| anykey | escott: well then thanks anyway | 17:45 |
| bobweaver | still looking and chatting on other channels also delac | 17:45 |
| tsaknorris | escott i just installed that compiz-config-manager package and im running lightdm. like i said everything is default. 1 hour ago i installed that package | 17:45 |
| bobweaver | I am betting that you can disable the thing all-together but where is dbus for that I have no clue | 17:46 |
| escott | tsaknorris, you aren't running lightdm. lightdm is the display manager. are you selecting unity or unity-2d at the login. in the process manager is the "compiz" process running? | 17:46 |
| === thiagoh is now known as luist_ | ||
| anykey | escott: superuser has a posting suggesting ~/.profile. I will try that. | 17:46 |
| tsaknorris | escott, nope no compiz process | 17:46 |
| escott | anykey, i dont think that would work either. you could try it... but i dont think any of those get parsed | 17:46 |
| escott | tsaknorris, so if compiz isn't running (ie you are using metacity as your window manager) then compiz settings arent going to matter. | 17:47 |
| escott | tsaknorris, you need to (a) figure out what kind of graphics card you have (b) install the drivers for the graphics card (c) logout and select the unity-3d session which is just called "unity" | 17:47 |
| tsaknorris | escott, ok i will restart X... maybe that helps. compiz is installed tho. so i have to enabled it then first. | 17:48 |
| anykey | escott: it does work. | 17:48 |
| anykey | just tried. | 17:48 |
| escott | anykey, how did you test that? | 17:48 |
| anykey | I logged out and in again | 17:48 |
| escott | anykey, yes, but how did you examine the environment from the gui | 17:49 |
| anykey | ah. I hit alt+f2 and my PATH is available from appfinder now. | 17:49 |
| tsaknorris | escott, "compiz --replace" <-- that maybe helps :) | 17:49 |
| anykey | and it wasn't before. | 17:49 |
| anykey | my PATH contains scripts in ~/bin and ~/.screenlayout | 17:50 |
| escott | anykey, ok cool. never knew those were parsed | 17:50 |
| anykey | so if those only work from terminal, I am a bit upset. I want these to work from Alt+F2. | 17:50 |
| bobweaver | delac, http://imagebin.org/235155 | 17:50 |
| anykey | escott: I have joined the Ubuntu crowd *today* so I have learn many new things. | 17:51 |
| anykey | s/have/have to/ | 17:51 |
| anykey | almost everything works. Just google hangout is left, and I get absolutely nothing on that. It seems that not even audio works. | 17:52 |
| Walex | anykey: audio is a difficult topic because there are very many variants of very many audio chipsets, so drivers have to match exactly the right variant. | 17:52 |
| Walex | anykey: often the best way to solve audio issue is to get a USB "soundcard". | 17:53 |
| gordonjcp | yeah | 17:53 |
| anykey | oh all the rest of the audio works. Ask my neighbors if they can hear my music. | 17:53 |
| gordonjcp | Intel chipsets are *awful* in Linux | 17:53 |
| anykey | no the problem is solely with google-talkplugin | 17:53 |
| gordonjcp | no two implementations of the Intel HDA chipset are wired up the same | 17:54 |
| anykey | even skype works | 17:54 |
| xxiao | i'm having issues with a nvidia video card, is there a way for me to use some standard setting instead/ for now i don't care about the best video performance | 17:54 |
| xxiao | anything that give me a login window will be fine, any params to set on grub? | 17:54 |
| yello | how does vnc work.. if i startx on client it starts on server.. if i do in vnc server settings "exec startx" or "startx" only gray window.. :[ | 17:55 |
| ztane | anykey: skype works? my skype couldnt log in for 2 hours :D | 17:57 |
| anykey | I am on skype right now | 17:57 |
| ztane | i was on then i plugged my webcam in | 17:57 |
| xxiao | what does linux_gfx_mode = text mean? | 17:57 |
| fuzzeh | same here | 17:57 |
| delac | bobweaver: thanks, but that description is very odd. what are these notification hooks and media detected things? | 17:57 |
| ztane | closed it restarted and now it does not accept my login anymore, even though works in vmware xp :( | 17:57 |
| escott | xxiao, that is for the early boot. | 17:57 |
| bobweaver | delac, Do you know what dconf-editor purpose is ? | 17:58 |
| delac | bobweaver: yes? | 17:58 |
| yello | PLZ. | 17:58 |
| bobweaver | delac, so it controls how dbus is running right ? the settings for the services that it is running on. | 17:58 |
| xxiao | escott: i'm booting over usb-stick, trying to change grub.cfg in hard-drive to bypass the video card setting | 17:58 |
| delac | bobweaver: or did you mean that hide-reboot-notification option? | 17:58 |
| anykey | but I figure if skype works with both voice and cam, the problem is solely on the GTalk side... | 17:59 |
| escott | !nomodeset | xxiao | 17:59 |
| ubottu | xxiao: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 17:59 |
| xxiao | escott: say, to set it a sub-optimal mode and see if it boots | 17:59 |
| xxiao | ubottu: thank you bot, i tried nomodeset already | 17:59 |
| ubottu | xxiao: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 17:59 |
| bobweaver | Oh I see what you are saying and yeah I could have been more to the point but like I said I am chatting it up on other channels and should have been more clear. I am sorry that I did not take the time to write it all out just busy packaging things and trying to get thing into debian so it can make way to Ubuntu | 18:00 |
| bobweaver | delac, | 18:00 |
| bobweaver | ^^^^ | 18:00 |
| delac | bobweaver: ok, thanks. I try these out and see what they do | 18:02 |
| escott | xxiao, not sure why with nomodeset you would need to change the text mode | 18:02 |
| bobweaver | delac, you can just make it so it never shows up ? | 18:02 |
| delac | bobweaver: well I think that no-show-notifications does just that. I hope. | 18:03 |
| bobweaver | delac, there is one way to find out :) | 18:03 |
| bobweaver | other way would be to google it or ask about dbus setting here trism is real good at that | 18:04 |
| delac | bobweaver: sory, wrong one. I hope it's the hide-reboot-notification. | 18:04 |

Raid array, which checks out at boot. Nothing strange has happened (i applied not updates or installs) and the system had already rebooted twice today. Can someone point me to what is going on? No encrypted drives or directories. and ls /dev/mapper/ shows a link to ../dm-0 whi | 18:10 |

| NotLarry | escott. Cool, that is info i can use. | 18:12 |
| nishttal2 | hello ppl.. how do i install kernel source? nvidia driver wont install without that | 18:12 |
| escott | NotLarry, you might verify that the LVM module is loaded/available in the initramfs. try booting the old kernel to see if that works. if it does then i would bet its because the module needs to be added to the initramfs | 18:13 |
| NotLarry | I'm lost in intramfs | 18:13 |
| exiff | Hallo hallo. | 18:13 |
| exiff | How do i automatically mount sshfs at log in? | 18:14 |
| escott | NotLarry, update-initramfs reads stuff from /etc including /etc/modules and creates an initial read-only system to put in /boot so that the system can start prior to the / drive being available | 18:14 |
| trism | nishttal2: just need the headers, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r); | 18:14 |

| escott | !backtrack | root_ | 18:18 |
| ubottu | root_: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information.

| exiff | Where are the gnome-session properties? | 18:18 |
| escott | exiff, its a program "gnome-session-properties" | 18:18 |
| root_ | any help greatly appreciated | 18:18 |
| exiff | escott, the sshfs needs a password though, how do i give it? | 18:19 |
| escott | exiff, you should use auth keys | 18:19 |
| escott | exiff, ssh-keygen; ssh-copy-id username@remote | 18:19 |
| k1l_ | root_: first, backtrack is not supported here. try the backtrack support. then irc as root is not a good idea. dont run every program as root. use a user | 18:20 |
| exiff | escott,it's asking me to enter a file in which to save the key | 18:22 |
| root_ | everyt ime I click on additional drivers it reply's no proprietary drivers are in use on this system???? | 18:22 |

| exiff | escott, it's finished doing its thing.. what happens now? | 18:23 |
| escott | exiff, ssh-copy-id username@remote | 18:23 |
| escott | exiff, then verify it works by running "ssh username@remote" | 18:24 |
| exiff | AH! :D | 18:24 |
| exiff | Will i need to enter the passphrase for the key everytime though escott? | 18:25 |
| escott | exiff, a few other nice options to consider adding to your ~/.ssh/config are ControlMaster auto, ControlPath/ControlPersist and Compression yes | 18:26 |
| Faux | nope, once you copy your rsa key over, it should log you in automatically | 18:26 |
| escott | exiff, if you password protected the key then yes you would have to enter the password to unwrap the key | 18:26 |
| escott | in your usage i would no bother to password protect the key | 18:26 |
| exiff | If i want to remove password protection? | 18:26 |
| escott | exiff, just create a new key with ssh-keygen | 18:27 |
| xxiao | escott: is there something like telinit 2 under ubuntu that gives me a text mode ubuntu? | 18:27 |

| Cache_Money | i executed a script in my Downloads folder to install EPDfree http://bit.ly/SPqrVK but I decided I'd rather have it in my home folder so I moved it. However, when I attempted to install pandas (library) it's still looking for the directory in the Downloads folder | 18:57 |

| escott | Cache_Money, thats generally now how we would install programs. but check your environment and your ~/.bashrc to see if it references the Downloads folder | 18:58 |
| gordonjcp | woch: you can get an EFI booter that goes on the memory stick, and then you drop the ISO on | 18:58 |
| gordonjcp | I've done this but I can't remember how | 18:58 |
| woch | gordonjcp: ee? what memory stick ? | 18:58 |

| Dynetrekk | does ssh require specific permissions on ~/.ssh/authorized_keys? I can't seem to be able to use pubkey auth (ubuntu 12.04 LTS server) | 19:11 |
| escott | Guest339 last -1 | 19:12 |
| jrib | Dynetrekk: yes, of course | 19:12 |
| escott | Dynetrekk, yes 600 | 19:12 |
| Guest339 | oh, thanks escott, Now I understood what you said earlies | 19:12 |
| BrianBlaze | my authorized keys is owned by root | 19:12 |
| Guest339 | thanks for your time | 19:12 |
| escott | Guest339, yeah "last" is one of those programs that i forget exists | 19:12 |
| Dynetrekk | jrib, escott damn. my $HOME is mounted to a cifs share. it won't let me chmod anything... | 19:12 |
| jrib | Dynetrekk: this is /bad/ | 19:13 |
| escott | Dynetrekk, you have a problem. your $HOME is not on a POSIX filesystem. you should probably fix that | 19:13 |
| gdea73 | When I login, I see a brief purple screen (~0.2 seconds) which says "checking battery state," and then I am returned to the login screen. | 19:13 |
| Dynetrekk | jrib: that's what I thought, too. I think I have to talk to the admin guy. not convinced that he's up to nuff | 19:13 |
| Dynetrekk | escott, jrib do you have any particular documentation on why this is a singularly bad idea? (I'm convinced, but I need to convince the guy who admins the box) | 19:14 |
| escott | Dynetrekk, i would think a heavy wrench or maybe an ax would be sufficient documentation... something about how programs on a largely POSIX OS would expect to be able to store user files on a POSIX compliant filesystem | 19:15 |
| MonkeyDust | Guest339 dirty workaround: last|grep still | 19:15 |
| Dynetrekk | escott: right. now, a good horror story would be more diplomatic, but I think we've got a hammer lying around | 19:15 |
| gdea73 | I reinstalled the ubuntu-desktop package. | 19:16 |
| escott | Dynetrekk, the proper way for him to do what he wants to do is have /home/username on / and then symlink /home/username/Documents etc to the CIFS filesystem | 19:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Dynetrekk: I suggest you keep your home local but mount the subfolders for your user data to the folders in the local home | 19:16 |
| MonkeyDust | Guest339 or simpler: last -1 | 19:16 |
| gdea73 | oftentimes I get a puple screen on boot, which stays there indefinitely. | 19:16 |
| gdea73 | but it appears to be completely random. | 19:16 |
| escott | Dynetrekk, so he can mount CIFS on /home/username/.cifs and then symlink ~/Documents->~/.cifs/Documents | 19:16 |
| ActionParsnip | gdea73: what video chip do you use? | 19:17 |
| Guest339 | yes, I think, last -1 is enought | 19:17 |
| Guest339 | thanks MonkeyDust | 19:17 |
| escott | Dynetrekk, either that or he needs to setup NFS for $HOME | 19:17 |
| gdea73 | ActionParsnip: A6-3420M | 19:17 |
| gdea73 | (Radeon 6520G) | 19:17 |
| gdea73 | Installed fglrx successfully, but now this is happening. | 19:17 |
| Dynetrekk | this was my idea; that we get a symlink/mount point in $HOME that points to our 'windowshome' | 19:17 |
| gdea73 | Installed Catalyst 10.10 manually from AMD's website. | 19:17 |
| Dynetrekk | using cifs on $HOME seems awfully nasty | 19:18 |

| Chamunks | Where you basically scroll/grab the page by just middle clicking and way you go? | 19:29 |
| Chamunks | I've asked this here like 5 times on different days and no one has made one single comment about it. Am I really the only person who misses this? | 19:30 |
| theadmin | Chamunks: That's a Windows thing mostly -- Xorg uses the middle button for pasting | 19:30 |
| gdea73 | Chamunks: I agree, but I don't know of any solution | 19:30 |
| jrib | Chamunks: in firefox? | 19:30 |
| escott | Chamunks, i thought was always application/toolkit based. you can probably find it in about:config in firefox | 19:30 |
| Chamunks | theadmin, it was in ubuntu for ever. | 19:30 |
| paulsomebody | Chamunks: Do you miss it from where? I do not remember this feature being ever present in GNU/Linux. | 19:30 |
| Chamunks | then for some reason its gone. | 19:30 |
| theadmin | Chamunks: Uh, no it wasn't... | 19:30 |
| theadmin | Chamunks: Not that I remember anyway | 19:30 |
| Chamunks | I swear it was at one point. | 19:30 |
| paulsomebody | Chamunks: Firefox may have used it in the past, but it was an ugly workaround. | 19:31 |
| theadmin | Definetly not anytime after 8.10 | 19:31 |
| Chamunks | even if its not there has to be a better solution for scrolling | 19:31 |
| genii-around | Guest339: last|tac | 19:31 |
| paulsomebody | theadmin: Yes, it did, at least as of 8.04 — this is when I remember using it. | 19:31 |
| Chamunks | I've got an old Logitech g5 and its a great mouse but the scrolling is terrible and my MX revolution died for no good reason. | 19:31 |
| theadmin | Chamunks: If you are talking about Firefox, then it's a simple fix, in about:config set middlemouse.paste to fasle | 19:31 |
| theadmin | false* | 19:31 |
| Chamunks | theadmin, I think that will be the thing I recall. | 19:32 |

| paulsomebody | Hi. I have a general question regarding Adobe Air: I know that when the Adobe announced the decision to drop the support for GNU/Linux it was thought that the development of newer versions would be outsourced to Linux community with the help of a porting kit. However, I have not heard anything about active development since then. Have you? | 19:32 |
| theadmin | Chamunks: Oh, then I doubt I can help you | 19:32 |
| Chamunks | theadmin, fair enough I use firefox sometimes when chromium faceplants. | 19:32 |
| Chamunks | which is often. | 19:32 |
| Guest339 | thanks genii-around :) | 19:32 |
| paulsomebody | Chamunks: I do not think that Chrome can do that natively, but I bet some mouse gestures extension can. | 19:33 |
| Chamunks | escott, jrib gdea73 I hope something is possible. | 19:33 |
| gdea73 | Opera can ;) shift - middle clicl | 19:33 |
| gdea73 | * click | 19:33 |
| jrib | Chamunks: see escott's about:config idea if you are talking about firefox | 19:33 |
| Chamunks | fair enough paulsomebody | 19:33 |
| Chamunks | gde33, ugh opera is far too closed its a great browser but ugh I want / require my adblock. | 19:33 |
| theadmin | Chamunks: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/autoscroll/occjjkgifpmdgodlplnacmkejpdionan | 19:33 |
| paulsomebody | Chamunks: And I have no desire for such things, when you can do this and more via keyboard with the help of Vimium extension. | 19:34 |
| Chamunks | and other extensions Opera is the Blackberry of internet browsers in my mind. | 19:34 |
| gdea73 | Chamunks: it has an adblock extension, FYI | 19:34 |

| gdea73 | I've been struggling with fglrx and 12.x for the past two days -_- | 19:38 |
| theadmin | gdea73: I think fglrx might be requiring a version of xorg lower than what 12.x uses | 19:39 |
| Chamunks | jrib, I think mine was already a refurb so I don't think it'll get me anywhere. | 19:39 |
| theadmin | gdea73: Knowing ATI, that might very well be true, I had to downgrade Xorg on ArchLinux when I tried fglrx installation | 19:39 |
| jrib | Chamunks: no harm in trying | 19:39 |
| Chamunks | jrib, true enough. The mx has a great scrollwheel. | 19:39 |
| gdea73 | theadmin: that's unfortunate.. though I thought Catalyst 12.10 supported the latest X? | 19:40 |
| Chamunks | I have a full setup for reworking electronics which helps I just dont know where to start. | 19:40 |
| theadmin | gdea73: Not too sure | 19:40 |
| theadmin | gdea73: Haven't used the thing for a while | 19:40 |
| gdea73 | theadmin: I see. Well, I know 10.9 requires an older Xorg but apparently/supposedly 12.10 was up to date. | 19:42 |

| walzo | bazhang, (I think I messed up some IRC fu, reposting my question) I am using 12.10 and unity without a lot of custom things installed. But it seems that after about an hour, compiz goes to 40% cpu and never gives it up. My question is either how do I stop this or how do I troubleshoot? | 20:15 |
| amoeba | chovynz: yep | 20:15 |
| hilo | amoeba, its actually a bug, there's a workaround I used a few months ago but can't remember | 20:15 |
| fuga | i have some problem to install my wifi card on my laptop acer travelmate 5760 (bcm43227) i try different driver but still don't work...please help me | 20:15 |
| |MS|DjFlyBy | Pici: that was perfect. Thanks a bunch | 20:15 |
| chovynz | amoeba: does quit work? | 20:15 |
| bazhang | walzo, what plugins do you have enabled? try unchecking some and troubleshooting that way. there is also #compiz if you don't get satisfactory answers here | 20:16 |
| escott | ert3go, what is the output of ifconfig | 20:16 |
| amoeba | chovynz: quit removes it from the launcher temporarily (and closes gmail in my browser), but if i log into gmail in my browser, it reappears in the launcher | 20:17 |
| thelinux | fuga: Go to software source, additional drivers tab, and ubuntu should detect your card and offer you a download from there. | 20:17 |
| walzo | bazhang, #compiz is a great suggestion! I'm not sure what you mean by plugins. | 20:17 |
| amoeba | hilo: i see, thanks | 20:17 |
| Adie | ignorant question: | 20:17 |
| bazhang | walzo, in ccsm | 20:17 |
| escott | ert3go, would also help to see "route" info | 20:17 |
| Adie | does i386 work on i686? | 20:18 |
| bazhang | Adie, pardon? | 20:18 |
| chovynz | amoeba: interesting. ill do some reading up. | 20:18 |
| escott | Adie, everything is i686 these days | 20:18 |
| thelinux | escott: It should show your IP on LAN network and default gateway IP | 20:18 |
| walzo | bazhang, Ah, I've not fiddled with it since the fresh install of 12.10. I'll do that | 20:18 |
| fuga | i did it...not working...ubuntu 12.10 detect my card and prupose a driver , i accept and reboot...nothing work | 20:18 |
| walzo | bazhang, Thanks for the suggestion | 20:18 |
| amoeba | chovynz: cool, thanks | 20:18 |
| escott | Adie, what is called i386 actually could not run on a 386... but people are so used to that as the architecture that they dont want to change the name and confuse people | 20:18 |
| Loving_u | is there any 4rum for window API ? | 20:18 |
| Adie | escott: like I said, is an ignorant question. I stupidly tried to boot the 64bit iso, and it said an i686 cpuw as detected, so I was coming in here to make sure i386 was what I needed for this computer? | 20:19 |
| escott | thelinux, huh? | 20:19 |
| thelinux | fuga: What's the model of your card? | 20:19 |
| escott | Adie, yes... you need the i386 if you have a 32bit x86 system | 20:19 |
| Adie | okay, thank you ^_^ | 20:19 |
| thelinux | escott: You asked what's the output of ifconfig, sorry If I misunderstood you. I guess I should kill myself now. | 20:19 |
| gordonjcp | Adie: "i386" in modern distros really means i686 | 20:20 |
| ert3go | escott, http://pastie.org/5347496 | 20:20 |
| gordonjcp | Adie: you'll find that most modern distros cannot even run on i586 | 20:20 |
| Adie | ya | 20:20 |
| gordonjcp | they lack the cmove instruction | 20:20 |
| Adie | I figured I was confused about this in the same was I was confused about AMD64 not actually meaning AMD cpus | 20:20 |
| Adie | lol | 20:20 |
| escott | ert3go, how about your "route" | 20:21 |

| escott | Adie, the amd64 is because amd came up with the instruction set modifications that intel then copied | 20:22 |
| Dougie187 | ;) Will do. I figured I would ask here because it seems like the problem only affects ubuntu users. Thanks though | 20:22 |

| ert3go | escott, when I tried to connect only using cable , i couldn't connect to internet | 20:27 |

| thelinux | Axz: But you can try it even if you're not in beta. | 20:31 |

| Axz | thelinux, yeah just qwondering about game getting ported | 20:32 |
| Axz | wow | 20:32 |
| Tealk | i have the problem if i install "Windows installer for Ubuntu Desktop" and i will start it, it freeze my system: http://www.sysprofile.de/id113268 | 20:33 |
| Simex | Left 4 Dead 2 isn't ported yet... | 20:33 |
| escott | Tealk, wubi... ugggh. many in the channel (myself included) would discourage you from using wubi | 20:33 |
| Simex | It is being ported though | 20:33 |
| thelinux | Axz: Left 4 Dead 2, should be released any time now, Team Fortress 2 Beta is already downloadable on steam right now, Serious Sam 3 port should be soon too, and great thing that Source Engine is ported (almost all) and many games that run on it could be easily ported to linux | 20:34 |
| Tealk | and how i should manage it? | 20:34 |
| Tealk | i dont think i can waive windows | 20:35 |
| escott | Tealk, a real install performs better, but you can also use virtualbox if your machine is powerful enough | 20:35 |
| Axz | thelinux, yeah great news... | 20:35 |
| thelinux | Axz: And you have really long list of games that run on Source Engine. And now Unity (3d game engine) can compile games for Linux, so for 2012 and 2013 we can expect a lots and lots of great games. | 20:35 |
| escott | Tealk, with wubi you have to reboot anyways it just takes out the bits where you have to make the install cd, and partition the drive | 20:35 |
| Tealk | hmm ok | 20:36 |
| gordonjcp | Axz: now is a good time to be a gamer on Linux | 20:36 |

| gordonjcp | Axz: newb ;-) | 20:39 |
| escott | Tealk, then download and install virtualbox, then create a virtual machine and you can run ubuntu inside windows like it was an application. once you get ubuntu installed be sure to install the guest-additions | 20:39 |
| thelinux | gordonjcp: I still can't believe that Steam and game titles are ported to Linux, and also Unity(3d game engine) it a happened so fast. | 20:39 |
| escott | ert3go, ok | 20:39 |
| Tealk | escott, what you mean with guest-additions? | 20:40 |
| disputin | load the virtualbox "guest additions" iso image and run the appropriate script. | 20:41 |
| Axz | gordonjcp, lol yeah could't leave my Windows 2000 :( | 20:41 |
| escott | ert3go, not sure how to correct that. either dhclient is not listening when the router gets all the way up and tries to setup the eth0, or the router is not detecting that the cable is plugged in and never makes the offer | 20:41 |

| a7i3n | So apparently there is a major screwup in 12.10 regarding the AMD driver. Just updated and got a blank screen for my trouble. | 21:10 |
| chovynz | might've been the way i put it in or something | 21:10 |
| delac | fsck sees error, but apparently cant fix them. e2fsck with -p just halts on first error, unable to continue and asks to run bare fsck. anything to try? | 21:11 |
| a7i3n | Installed 12.10 fresh and then installed the driver with the same result. | 21:11 |
| escott | delac, depends on what kind of error | 21:12 |
| CrawfordComeaux | what could be the cause of resolveip <ip address> not resolving to a hostname? | 21:12 |
| Galvatron | a7i3n: Have you tried Catalyst 12.11? | 21:13 |
| a7i3n | No, not yet Galvatron... | 21:13 |

| nicekiwi | for a fully working system would I be better to re-format and install a new Distro if I want a new DE or just download the package in Synaptic? | 21:15 |
| Galvatron | a7i3n: Maybe let 12.10 mature and for the time being use 12.04. The differences are really minuscule. | 21:15 |
| === Noskcaj-at-schoo is now known as Noskcaj-school | ||
| a7i3n | Just ment this as a caution to those of you that have an AMD graphics card... there is a problem with the AMD driver and Unity. | 21:15 |
| guntbert | nicekiwi: just install the package | 21:15 |
| bazhang | nicekiwi, both are fine, I have four currently | 21:15 |
| Galvatron | I have 12.10 next to my main 12.04 and I also see how buggy it is. | 21:15 |
| bazhang | Galvatron, so file bugs | 21:15 |
| nicekiwi | bazhang, true.. :P | 21:16 |
| a7i3n | Yep. You are Right Galvatron... fortunately I only did this with my laptop. The othermachines are staying on 12.04 until a replacement OS can be worked out... | 21:16 |
| delac | escott: the disk has bad sectors | 21:17 |
| a7i3n | Huge difference between 12.10 and 12.04 as far as stability. This is my experience so far and your mileage may vary... | 21:17 |
| CrawfordComeaux | escott: it's worked before, though & it's my server/domain. I think the issue may be that before the zone file propagated, I tried resolving it & the local DNS server is still serving the cached result | 21:17 |
| escott | delac, then the best thing to do is use "dd" with "noerror" to create an image of the failing disk and then you can attempt recovery of that data | 21:18 |
| escott | CrawfordComeaux, zone files... you got beyond my knowledge there | 21:18 |
| Adie | how do I know if I want to set up as "use entire disk" or "use entire disk and set up LVM"? | 21:19 |
| Adie | plz compare/contrast the two options as someone who doens't know what LVM means | 21:20 |
| willdabeast | Is there a reason my taskbars aren't showing on most programs? I am in gnome 3 with openGL... | 21:20 |
| escott | Adie, depends on if you want LVM... what is your use case and what are you installing onto? | 21:20 |
| delac | escott: unfortunately the disk is too large to be imaged as one file (cant fit it anywhere). is it possible to try to read intact files and only save them? | 21:20 |
| MoleMan | does rsync -P not show the progress bar? instead it is just showing a verbose output as it copies each file? | 21:20 |
| delac | escott: prefereably only from /home | 21:20 |
| Adie | I am installing ubuntu server onto a mac mini as a 24/7 headless services server | 21:20 |
| compdoc | rsync --progress | 21:21 |
| devish | Any suggestion for virtual box ? i prefer low memory consumption with light process ;) | 21:21 |
| escott | Adie, then LVM is probably unnecessary. LVM abstracts away the whole partitioning thing so you can easily create and remove partitions and resize partitions without worrying about the physical layout of the partitions. probably not needed for a single disk server like that | 21:22 |
| deadmund | escott: Adie I agree | 21:22 |
| Adie | okay, think you for your input ^_^ | 21:22 |
| thelinux | devish: What suggestions? ;) I've been using virtual box, I too use low memory consumption, otherwise my primary OS will run slow since I only have 1 GB RAM | 21:22 |
| gordonjcp | Adie: will your Mac Mini support virtualisation? How much RAM has it got? | 21:23 |
| escott | delac, im not sure... ive never actually had to recover files from an ext2 fs | 21:23 |
| escott | !undelete | delac | 21:23 |
| ubottu | delac: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 21:23 |
| Adie | gordonjcp: I think it has 2GB of ram | 21:23 |
| Adie | it's a first generation intel mini | 21:23 |
| gordonjcp | Adie: if you can see if it has vmx, and whack even 3GB in although 2GB would do, you could run virtualised servers on it | 21:23 |
| bkc_ | Adie: LVM is golden for JBOD (and in some cases RAID, but then I'd just use brtfs) otherwise it's generally not necessary :) | 21:24 |
| fuga_ | thelinux: not working... | 21:24 |
| physically_fit | ikonia | 21:24 |
| gordonjcp | Adie: this makes things more complicated, but it does mean that later on if you want to fiddle about with installing random crap onto a server you just roll yourself a clean instance, and nuke it when you're done | 21:24 |
| devish | thelinux: i framed incorrectly , vmware vs virtual box | 21:24 |
| thelinux | fuga_: Don't worry, we will solve it ;) I'll look more into it ;) | 21:24 |
| Adie | gordonjcp: i dunno | 21:25 |
| thelinux | devish: Well I think Virtual Box is just fine, vmware costs money, and I don't there are major differences. | 21:25 |

| Quogwinkle | How do I install ubuntu alongside windows on a hybrid (SSD/HDD) computer (thinkpad t430u)? My concern is that installing ubuntu will interfere with the boot process of windows. I don't need ubuntu to use the ssd. | 21:41 |
| willdabeast | ActionParsnip, and where do I report it? | 21:42 |
| deadmund | Quogwinkle: Do you have two physical drives or a hybrid drive? | 21:42 |
| Quogwinkle | deadmund: well, there is a "classic" hard drive and a solid state drive inside the laptop. | 21:43 |
| acolytetojippity | does anyone have any experience installing netbeans on 12.10? | 21:43 |
| guntbert | !anyone | acolytetojippity | 21:43 |

| Quogwinkle | deadmund: but I'm not sure about the difference really | 21:43 |
| deadmund | Quogwinkle: Have you ever opened the computer? Are you able to recognize the harddrives if you see them? | 21:44 |
| deadmund | Quogwinkle: What does the bios see? | 21:44 |
| isRealBR | Quogwinkle: You can install windows and ubuntu after, GRUB will take care of allowing you to boot into both OSs. | 21:44 |
| === Sp00kan is now known as Spookan | ||
| deadmund | Quogwinkle: indeed, the boot process of windows is disturbed. But Ubuntu handles this issue head-on | 21:45 |
| grendal_prime | im trying to screen capture with kazazm | 21:46 |
| grendal_prime | which works...sometimes..othertimes its like it starts then...when i go to pause it or finish..it just does nothing..and then i have to go in and kill the process off | 21:46 |
| grendal_prime | the werid part..it doesnt seem to be a problem if i start it from a command line. | 21:47 |
| grendal_prime | but if i start it from the dash it seems to fail every time | 21:47 |
| Quist | When you first enter a channel in irssi you see a list of users, some with an "@" at the beggining. What does that mean? | 21:47 |
| Quogwinkle | deadmund: how does ubuntu handle it? could it be so that I wont be able to boot windows after the install? | 21:47 |
| deadmund | Quogwinkle: of course not. Ubuntu replaces the "windows boot loader" with a bootloader called grub. Grub allows you to choose which OS to boot. (windows or linux) | 21:47 |
| grendal_prime | it is a much more reliable boot loader by the way | 21:48 |
| acolytetojippity | @quist, it sonds like those people are ops | 21:48 |
| deadmund | Quogwinkle: Occasionally (VERY rarely) the automatically installation / configuration of grub goes wrong and you can't boot either. This is usually fixed using a live CD and installing grub on your own. Again, this is very rare. | 21:48 |
| grendal_prime | at work they just replace the boot loader and use it even though they dont have linux installed | 21:48 |
| thiebaude | or if you install ubuntu then windows | 21:48 |
| deadmund | grub is a much better boot loader than the windows one. I agree. | 21:48 |
| thiebaude | then it will mess up | 21:49 |
| Qantourisc | Anyone who knows where to modify the dhclient3 arguments ? | 21:49 |
| grendal_prime | ya things like auto failover. | 21:49 |
| thiebaude | deadmund, i agree with that | 21:49 |
| grendal_prime | have two bootable drives..one fails it just boots the other. | 21:49 |
| lonewulf | deadmund : I think everyone will agree that grub beats the winloader | 21:49 |
| Quogwinkle | deadmund: my concern is that something like that will happen because windows uses the hybrid drive for the boot process, and that grub wont take care of that | 21:49 |
| grendal_prime | windows in your preus? | 21:50 |
| acolytetojippity | I'm trying to install netbeans on 12.10, but the installation terminal stops every time at "searching for JVM". Anyone have a possible fix? | 21:50 |
| thiebaude | Quogwinkle, you should see the drives in your partitioner | 21:50 |
| thiebaude | when you to that aprt | 21:50 |
| thiebaude | part | 21:50 |
| thiebaude | get to that part | 21:50 |
| deadmund | Quogwinkle: If you have two physical drives you can install ubuntu (and the ubuntu bootloader, grub) on the drive that does not have windows installed on it. Therefore, ubuntu won't touch anything windows. You can choose which operating system to boot by changing the boot order in the bios. This is not convenient. Also, I doubt that windows is entirely on one HDD. If you even have two harddrives. What does the bios see? Two harddrives or one? | 21:50 |
| physically_fit | wonderful | 21:51 |
| _DanN_ | acolytetojippity: do you have java installed ? | 21:51 |
| Quogwinkle | thiebaude: yes, but will grub take care of that and allow windows to boot normally? | 21:51 |
| deadmund | Quogwinkle: also, you can look at the drives using gparted (or the partitioner in the installer) as thiebaude suggested | 21:51 |
| physically_fit | ikonia, how am i gonna solve my problem then? | 21:51 |
| thiebaude | grub wont touch it | 21:51 |
| deadmund | Quogwinkle: It almost definitely will install / configure itself correctly. | 21:51 |
| acolytetojippity | @_DanN_ I did not EXPLICITLY install t, but i'm pretty sure it's on here. how do i check/install it if it's not? | 21:51 |

| dougb | is there a way to enable INFILE for mysql? i'm looking online, and it looks like it was compiled with that option off | 21:53 |
| Quogwinkle | deadmund: do I need to do something extra if I see two drives in bios? | 21:53 |
| guntbert | acolytetojippity: thats the wrong way - it is in the repos - so just sudo apt-get install netbeans | 21:54 |
| bekks | dougb: Then you'll have to recompile mysql | 21:54 |
| k1l_ | Quogwinkle: just make sure grub2 installs into the MBR of the first booting disk | 21:54 |
| deadmund | Quogwinkle: Well, then we need to make a decision about which drive to install ubuntu on. Do you see evidence of two drives or one drive anywhere? | 21:54 |
| escott | Quogwinkle, many systems that are shipped with two disks and windows installed have this awful intel raid enabled. so check that that is disabled | 21:54 |
| novaspirit | hi i'm new to irc and had a quick question. i'm in another room with 200 people and the room seems silent. i don't see people chatting like they are here. i am registered. am i doing something wrong? | 21:56 |
| deadmund | novaspirit: most rooms are much more quiet then this one. | 21:56 |
| deadmund | novaspirit: try and activate a bot | 21:56 |
| Quogwinkle | deadmund: I want ubuntu installed on the hdd, as on normal computers. but grub should always be installed on the primary drive? In the windows "computer management" -> disk management, I see two drives | 21:57 |
| acolytetojippity | guntbert, the version in the software center is out of date. it's 7.0.1, not 7.2 | 21:57 |
| k1l_ | Quogwinkle: dont mix drive with partition | 21:57 |
| thiebaude | Quogwinkle, try the ubuntu live cd and see which drives are there | 21:58 |
| novaspirit | deadmund, it's #asus-transformer chat room with a lot of people joining. i thought i was doing something wrong but i've been in it for the past hour and no one talks or responed to my messages like this room | 21:58 |
| deadmund | Quogwinkle: I am not familiar with the windows tool. It sometimes shows partitions (all on one drive) as different drives. The only notion of a 'primary' drive is the drive that is booted by the bios. Sometimes (with IDE) there is master / slave. But I doubt this is the case in a SDD / HDD laptop. | 21:58 |
| k1l_ | Quogwinkle: do a "sudo fdisk -l" (small L) from a running (live) ubuntu | 21:58 |
| Quogwinkle | k1l_: I dont think I am, because both drives have several partitions. and the computer spec. says it is a hybrid device with both optical and ss dirves | 21:58 |
| deadmund | novaspirit: just a quiet room | 21:58 |
| thiebaude | novaspirit, happens to me somtimes, justmeans ppl not talking | 21:59 |
| novaspirit | deadmund, lols so it's not me. | 21:59 |
| deadmund | Quogwinkle: I think you should boot the ubuntu live CD, start gparted. And see what drives it sees | 21:59 |
| deadmund | novaspirit: correct | 21:59 |
| escott | k1l_, Quogwinkle use sudo parted -l not sudo fdisk -l | 21:59 |

| OpenSorce | 12.04 I would really love it if my system would stop blanking my screen while I watching fullscreen flash videos. It doesn't blank my screen at any other time because I have the screensaver and and power controls disabled. What should I do? | 22:01 |
| bkc_ | so, quick question to a dev here :) now that there's systemd, will you change to that or stick to upstart? :) | 22:01 |

| deadmund | bkc_: Don't bother them if you can find it on google but there is #ubuntu-devel | 22:03 |
| odutta | escott: I'm not sure. But I've been playing with remoting into my ubuntu server and I know how to use screen. But let's say I forgot to use screen, and I couldn't theoretically save my document. How could I bg and disown vim without killing it. I suppose that is the question. | 22:04 |
| bkc_ | deadmund: aah, well I found a wiki-page on systemd/ubuntu so I'll just read that :) | 22:04 |
| odutta | But I understand how it not being connected to a terminal is an issue. | 22:04 |
| bkc_ | deadmund: mainly curious, not really interested :) | 22:04 |
| deadmund | bkc_: ok | 22:04 |
| escott | odutta, if you disowned vim... then vim would have no chance of ever getting input... it would be less than useless | 22:05 |
| odutta | escott: So is there a way of detaching an application from the current terminal and having it hover, and then reconnecting to it from another one? | 22:06 |
| escott | odutta, thats what screen is for | 22:06 |
| bkc_ | odutta: detach :) | 22:06 |

| glebihan_ | bkc_, it's clearly said there | 22:07 |
| odutta | Hold on, I will man detach. I guess I'm trying to figure out the best way to not kill an app if you need to send a SIGHUP, and you do not have the program screened. I've just learned that only certain programs can be backgrounded. | 22:08 |
| marcellu` | I just finished this guide to set up a mail server: http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix. I need to access the virtual mail inboxes from a program i'm writing. I added the user account the program will run under to the virtual group but I can't seem to set the correct permissions on the virtual directory to allow access to all the mail. When I set execute permissions for the mail directories, I still can't read the raw, mail files, and the | 22:08 |
| marcellu` | permissions show up as "rws". Does this have something to do with the fact that "virtual" is a system group, and does anyone know a way around this? | 22:08 |
| rypervenche | odutta: There is a way to do what you want with a specific program. | 22:08 |

| acolytetojippity | guntbert, yeah, apt-get gave me the out of date one. | 22:09 |
| odutta | bkc_: In what manner do you detach? "detach" itself doesn't seem to be a bash command. | 22:09 |
| bkc_ | odutta: (or screen/tmux) to always get back to where I was previously. just setup you're .bashrc to look for SSH-session and automagically start the old detached session again :) | 22:10 |
| bkc_ | odutta: 'detach' is an app in apt :) | 22:10 |
| odutta | bkc_: Ah I see now. | 22:10 |
| odutta | Well I guess I will really have to remember to use my screens. | 22:11 |
| Jmev | what's the proper way to mount a vmware shared folder when ubuntu is running as a guest? | 22:11 |
| bkc_ | It's like screen, just more lightweight and no tabbed terminals... it's mainly for detaching a single process (like do-system-upgrade or something like that ) | 22:11 |

| OpenSorce | 12.04 I would really love it if my system would stop blanking my screen while I watching fullscreen flash videos. It doesn't blank my screen at any other time because I have the screensaver and and power controls disabled. What should I do? | 22:11 |

| burdickjp | my fresh 12.10 install freezes while booting, directly after "starting configure virtual network devices" | 23:36 |
| zvacet | burdickjp: if someone can help believe me it will just calm down | 23:36 |
| escott | sharon, try one of the photo managemant applications shotwell or gphoto and try to import from there | 23:36 |

| OerHeks | sharon, in that url, gtkam is the gui for gphonto2 | 23:36 |

| hamo_osmo | anyone having video problems with 12.1. I've found that cpu utilization hits 100 percent upon watching any Video for more than 15 minutes. Thought this was spefic to VLC but it seems like its the same issue with flash. It may be using Software rendering rather than GPU. I could only find drivers for ATI and yet I have an intel integrated card. Any help would be appreciated. | 23:37 |
| burdickjp | i've been at it, and on here, literally all day and the first response I've gotten han been to asking if I'm being seen. | 23:37 |
| blackshirt | burdickjp, can you describe your problems detailly,i was sit here for just a time | 23:38 |
| === Youri is now known as YBook | ||
| nydel | sharon: i'm reading that people have luck rebooting with the sd card in the slot. it's not ideal but it could be a solution. also after reboot you can try "sudo su -l; echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan" | 23:39 |
| burdickjp | I'm on a dell latitude ST, intel atom Z670, following poulsbo boot directions and this guide: http://www.mogilowski.net/lang/en-us/2012/02/15/install-ubuntu-on-dell-latitude-st-tablet/ boot hangs at said point and is unresponsive to keyboard | 23:40 |
| blackshirt | burdickjp, wow, i have not this devices before ....intel atom proc was supported in linux .... Try to disable some options in installer | 23:42 |
| burdickjp | blackshirt: such as? | 23:43 |
| blackshirt | burdickjp, acpi=off | 23:44 |
| jagosix | hello peopl | 23:45 |
| blackshirt | hello jagosix | 23:46 |
| jagosix | well I accidently deleted some files off a hard drive ntfs with linux.. is there a way to recover them ? | 23:46 |
| burdickjp | the install media loads fine with the following: poulsbo.blacklist=yes console=tty1 sdhci.debug_quirks=4 | 23:46 |
| blackshirt | burdickjp, greats | 23:47 |
| escott | !undelete | jagosix | 23:48 |
| ubottu | jagosix: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 23:48 |
| burdickjp | install runs fine, first boot hangs at mentioned place | 23:48 |
| blackshirt | jagosix, i don't know...you remove it through some file manager? | 23:48 |
| ActionParsnip | burdickjp: add that to the first boot, then get updated | 23:48 |
| jagosix | dolphin | 23:49 |
| burdickjp | actionpartnership: have, hangs at mentioned place | 23:49 |
| ActionParsnip | jagosix: use your backups | 23:49 |
| jagosix | I have 3 ntfs partitions and I deleted some files off of it. | 23:49 |
| jagosix | no backups | 23:49 |
| jagosix | was doing it | 23:49 |
| blackshirt | jagosix, have you shift delete it ? If not, maybe they reside in dolphin "thrash" | 23:49 |
| jagosix | tried to resore from dolphin trash | 23:50 |
| jagosix | no go | 23:50 |
| blackshirt | good luck | 23:50 |
| ActionParsnip | jagosix: why is there no backup if the data is important? | 23:50 |
| blackshirt | have you been emptying it? | 23:50 |
| jagosix | i was in the process of backing it up. | 23:50 |
| escott | blackshirt, dolphin might not be keeping a trash archive for an external or ntfs partition | 23:51 |
| blackshirt | escott, maybe .... I have no play with dolphin before, but thanks guys | 23:51 |
| ActionParsnip | jagosix: try foremost | 23:52 |
| burdickjp | jagosix: on the external drive is there a folder called .Trash-1000 | 23:52 |
| burdickjp | or similar | 23:52 |
| ActionParsnip | jagosix: I suggest you revise your backup procedure, it seems to detroy data..... | 23:52 |
| jagosix | ya think | 23:52 |
| burdickjp | dolphin creates hidden folders at the root of the filesystem | 23:53 |
| burdickjp | the files in question may be in there | 23:53 |
| carl0s- | My desktop/background is "sticky", like a hung app. Windows are being permanently painted onto it. Is this a known bug? | 23:53 |
| jagosix | the files are on a NTFS drive | 23:53 |
| jagosix | oops were | 23:53 |
| hamo_osmo | i am going to continue posting my question until someone answers, | 23:54 |
| burdickjp | jagosix:where is it mounted? | 23:54 |
| hamo_osmo | anyone having video problems with 12.1. I've found that cpu utilization hits 100 percent upon watching any Video for more than 15 minutes. Thought this was spefic to VLC but it seems like its the same issue with flash. It may be using Software rendering rather than GPU. I could only find drivers for ATI and yet I have an intel integrated card. Any help would be appreciated. | 23:54 |
| jagosix | disk-1 | 23:54 |
| escott | carl0s-, sounds like nautilus may be hung and not responding to xdamage requests. try "killall nautilus & nautilus" | 23:54 |
| ActionParsnip | jagosix: unmount the partition, you will need a partition mounted writable to put ALL the files on there that it comes across | 23:54 |
| carl0s- | Also, the columns in nautilus are still resizing themselves constantly when I right click. It makes the whole thing slow as crap on my U9400 processor. | 23:54 |
| carl0s- | escott, it has been a persistent problem through reboots over more than a week. | 23:55 |
| burdickjp | jagosix:open a command prompt and type df -h. tell me where this thing is mounted | 23:55 |
| Freeaqingme | How do I find out what dns servers are effectively used? Running Ubuntu Server, no nameservers specified in networking/interfaces, resolv.conf managed by resolvconf | 23:55 |
| jagosix | hold a min I must bring the computer back up. | 23:56 |
| jagosix | as soon as I deleted it. I shut it down. | 23:56 |
| burdickjp | hamo_osmo: what specific intel graphics? | 23:57 |
| kanliot | i'm trying to write a little documentation: is mount.cifs included by default in ubuntu 12.10? | 23:57 |
| carl0s- | Anyone: open up a folder with lots of items in nautilus, then change to list-view (CTRL-2), and do some left-clicking and right-clicking. Does the "Name" column keep shifting in and out? It's more noticable with a large number of items, e.g., when Show Hidden Files is enabled (Ctrl-H). | 23:57 |
| hamo_osmo | burdickjp: Intel Corporation Core processor Integrated graphics Controller (i3 processsor) | 23:58 |
| jagosix | the drives are not auto mounted | 23:58 |
| jagosix | i do it manually | 23:58 |
| hamo_osmo | burdickjp: Ive been trying to do some googling on potential legacy drivers | 23:58 |
| kanliot | ^^ you should be able to check for mount.cifs by typing it in the command line or looking in /sbin TIA | 23:59 |
| ActionParsnip | kanliot: you will need cifs-utils | 23:59 |
| burdickjp | hamo_osmo:when it maxes out, what process is doing it? | 23:59 |
