[00:01] test [00:01] pass [00:01] ok [00:02] OKay guys, i need help. Wanted to isntall ubuntu on my laptop but i test ran it on my other one and it had an issue with the graphics card which was resolved but right now after testing everything to install on my actual machine i seem to be having an issue, the installer would keep on loading to no end [00:02] any tips on how to get ubuntu desktop running ok with onboard graphics unichrome s3 (k7vm4 motherboard)... or if is it possible at all [00:02] Does any body here know how or where can I see the config file configuration samba create when I share a Directory in a graphical way with gnome? [00:02] anyone here familiar with ubuntu ultimate edition? [00:03] sambagirl: that is not supported here. [00:03] it says ubuntu k1l but ok [00:03] Does any body here know how or where can I see the config file configuration samba create when I share a Directory in a graphical way with gnome? [00:03] sambagirl: its a unofficial spinoff. [00:04] Marlo: it uses gvfs [00:04] ok well is rackspace cloud software official? cause it is using ubuntu [00:04] anyone? [00:04] Marlo: i dont know exactly where is saves the configs, but that is a hint to take a look at [00:04] Hi guys. I have a portable ubuntu.img and I'm trying to increase the disk size. I've increased the size of the image with tfile, how might I now go about increasing the disk size within the image? === [entropy] is now known as [ent] [00:05] Marlo: the conf is smb.conf i believe [00:06] almoxarife: are you sure gvfs uses the samba conf? [00:06] k1l, I'm tryin to share a directory with samba and al is working but I can not set up permissions with Eiciel in graphic mode and If I share a directory using gnome I can see the users whan can I do? [00:06] k1l: gvfs in smb.conf? i dont think so [00:06] almoxarife, smb.conf does not show me the directories shared by gnome :( [00:07] almoxarife: the gui share options use gvfs. so that is what the user was asking [00:07] nashant: Is this just a raw disk image? [00:08] k1l: i saw a question about samba conf location [00:08] Im using Ubuntu 12.10 (new to linux OS'). when searching in my dash home, how do I prevent certain media from popping up in the results? [00:08] I have adult themed media on my ubuntu computer and I dont want it popping up every time I search for something. Is there a way to prevent whole folders of files from popping up in the search? [00:08] k1l: perhaps you can assist Marlo [00:09] almoxarife: i dont know that much about gvfs. but i know that the nautilus is using it for the samba shares [00:09] * stijndg is away (Stijn is out BNC logging messages) === stijndg is now known as stijnaway [00:09] Jordan_U: No, it's the linuxonandroid ubuntu core image [00:10] !away > stijnaway [00:10] stijnaway, please see my private message [00:10] k1l, I'm trying to setup a storage server with acl and Eiciel, all is working but I can using eiciel if I share directories with samba, I mean, editing smb.conf just If Share the directories wit gnome [00:10] nashant: Can you pastebin the output of "file /path/to/ubuntu.img"? [00:10] k1l: gvfs is a virtual file system, allows you to mirror on your local system [00:11] Jordan_U: ubuntu.img: Linux rev 1.0 ext2 filesystem data (mounted or unclean), UUID=76d91f50-e597-4f2e-a700-ee777a1f2957 (large files) [00:12] from my humble bundle page, I go to install from ubuntu store but everytime I click to install anything, I amk greeted with 'could not find package, X' then I get an email about it. is there a quick fix for this? [00:12] nashant: Is it currently mounted? === jono is now known as Guest95176 [00:12] Jordan_U: nope. it's just sat there being an ass [00:13] has anyone noticed that k3b comes already installed on 12.10? [00:13] almoxarife: yes, but there is no config file for that [00:13] nashant: Please watch your language. Can you make a copy of the image so that we can experiment without risking the data? [00:14] Marlo: sry, i dont know how to manage eiciel [00:14] Evil_Eric: Did you install kubuntu? [00:14] no ubuntu [00:14] Jordan_U: Sorry, copy made [00:14] Evil_Eric: Oh, didn't know that. But it's about time. It's the best IMHO. [00:15] k1l, ok thank you any way [00:15] agreed [00:15] Hey guys, I have a problem with SSH. [00:15] im slowly moving into 12.10 [00:15] Can someone please help? [00:15] nashant: Try running "resize2fs /path/to/copy.img". === Lil_ is now known as Lil [00:16] proka: With____________? [00:16] usr13 When I try ssh-ing locally, e.g. ssh 192.168.1.50 [00:16] Everything works fine === JoseeAntonioR is now known as Guest98589 [00:17] But when I try ssh-ing using my real IP [00:17] I gives me an error [00:17] Evil_Eric: i dont think k3b is the standard program on 12.10 [00:17] proka: You'd have to make provisions on your router to do it from outside. [00:17] well i dint install it and i have it [00:17] Jordan_U: I had to run e2fsck first, but it seems to have resized. I'll try it [00:17] ssh: connect to host port 22: Connection timed out [00:18] proka: you cant go outside inside from your local lan [00:18] Well, I tried doing that [00:18] I tried port forwarding [00:18] nashant: Yeah, as file suggested, the filesystem wasn't unmounted cleanly. [00:18] And it doesn't seem to work :/ [00:19] proka: Maybe your ISP blocks it. nmap -P 22 and see [00:19] Evil_Eric: which ubuntu are you running? when did you install it? where did you get it? [00:19] anyone here? [00:19] proka: You have port 22 forwarded to 192.168.1.50? [00:19] hello, i have a problem with booting ubuntu from a usb stick which appears to be full - is there a way i can remove files from the command line ? === Guest98589 is now known as JoseeAntonioR [00:20] johnh: Yes, rm /path/to/file [00:20] im running ubuntu 12.10 64Bit , I installed it today, I Got it directly from the ubuntu website [00:20] usr13, Yeah. Unless it's not forwarded correctly. [00:20] heloo [00:21] usr13 there is not a specific file which i need to delete - it's more removing tmp files [00:21] usr13 Btw, nmap reports this Illegal Argument to -P, use -PN, -PO, -PI, -PB, -PE, -PM, -PP, -PA, -PU, -PT, or -PT80 (or whatever number you want for the TCP probe destination port) [00:21] QUITTING! [00:21] Evil_Eric: http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/ubuntu-desktop as you can see there, it is brasero and not k3b [00:21] any tips on how to get ubuntu desktop gui running ok with onboard graphics unichrome s3 (k7vm4 motherboard)... or if is it possible at all [00:21] ? [00:22] dsa: the unichrome/chrome drivers are "not the best" you should try the 2d desktops [00:22] Marlo: this may seem of topic but stay with me, i dont use gnome, i use kde, dolphin is the file browser (think nautilus), with it i can access some server via ssh(already is setup with sshd) to either server it up via sftp or fish, the point is that it looks seemless on my end, just another folder to access, i would think that nautilus is as capable via perhaps a plugin/script, samba is a mess in my opinion [00:22] proka: -p sorry... [00:22] proka: nmap -p22 [00:23] Starting Nmap 5.00 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2012-11-25 01:22 CET [00:23] Interesting ports on : [00:23] PORT STATE SERVICE [00:23] 22/tcp filtered ssh [00:23] Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.25 seconds [00:23] proka: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:23] proka: It doesn't say: 22/tcp open ssh ? [00:24] usr13 it says 22/tcp filtered ssh [00:24] proka: Oh filtered. Yea, it should say open. It's being blocked. [00:24] Sooo, if I use a different port [00:24] It should be fine? [00:24] k1l, but is it possible to get it running ok? or its simply impossible and i have to run 2D alternative to unity? [00:24] k1l, now you got me looking through everything [00:24] proka: you can try, yes. [00:25] anybody in here that has knowledge about bash scripts? [00:25] i need help with something [00:25] Btw, is it my router blocking or my ISP? Can you even know that? :? [00:25] !anyone | cowsquad [00:25] cowsquad: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [00:25] i mean if i can avoid installing a graphics card it would be great ^^ [00:25] dsa: i think 3d is not possible. but i didnt need it recently so maybe my view is outdated. i would stick to 2d unity [00:26] proka: hard telling. tracerout maybea [00:26] cowsquad: #bash knows for sure [00:26] k1l ok thanks =) [00:27] It seems I'm not forwarding this correctly :S [00:27] I am having trouble sending an email from a bash script. The file doesnt get attach to the email, instead it get inlined in body of the message. I am using the mail command [00:27] In the server address I should put in my local IP, right? And leave the remote host blank? [00:27] hi [00:28] cowsquad: That sounds like more of a "mail command" question than a bash one, but can you pastebin your script? [00:28] i once had an application in ubuntu which provided a gui for CA management, certificate signing and such. [00:28] proka: Yes [00:28] however i cannot remember its name [00:28] anyone has a hint for me? [00:28] proka: traceroute -p 22 ###.###.##.# [00:28] sorry for asking again: the usb drive which does not boot, had xelatex installed and the stopped booting so i presume it is now full. is there a command i can use to delete temporary files or a way to make it bootable again as i need to get my bookmarks from my browser? [00:29] usr13: 1 my-ip-with-dashes.dynamic.isp.telekom.rs (my_ip) 1.756 ms 3.125 ms 4.518 ms [00:29] unity-2d sound ok =D [00:29] johnh: Just delete some stuff in /media/disk/tmp is all I know.... [00:29] And that's it. [00:30] proka: I dono [00:30] johnh: Have you run "df -h" to confirm that it's actually full? [00:30] Let me try restarting my router, brb [00:31] k1l, yeah i guess i might have installed it but im pretty sure i dint [00:31] jordan i will try it now [00:31] !tab | johnh [00:31] johnh: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [00:31] tu thanks for this! i am a newbie here! [00:31] :) [00:31] johnh: You're welcome :) [00:32] nmap 10.182.140.201 [00:32] how can i cd to the usb drive from the command line so i can run the command? [00:33] it should be in /media [00:33] if it is mounted [00:33] omg... i installed unity-2d but when i startx i dont even get a login screen just the desktop background === mimor_ is now known as mimor [00:33] johnh: "df -h" will list the usage of all mounted filesystems, it doesn't matter what your current working directory is. [00:33] apparently it is not full [00:33] Evil_Eric: "grep 'k3b ' /var/log/dpkg.log " could show [00:34] dsa: dont use startx [00:34] is there a way to get my bookmarks from my browser? [00:34] that will break alot of stuff. [00:34] jordan_u, there you go http://pastebin.com/HwM9Nn9c [00:34] dsa: use "sudo start lightdm" [00:34] hello [00:34] can u help me [00:34] thanks k1l ill check it out and if i did install it ill let you know [00:34] k1l, oops sorry i always used that command im such a noob =P [00:34] !ask | yoginur [00:34] yoginur: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [00:35] i am having trouble with line 46 dont worry about the "" on $attach those did not make any difference [00:35] thanks k1l i'll try that [00:35] usr13, I'm back. Nothing changed :/ [00:35] k1l, nothing happened with the command you gave me [00:36] Evil_Eric: hmm, maybe the log is no long enough :/ [00:36] couldnt i use gedit to veiw this [00:38] Jordan_U, usb drive is not full. is there a way to revert usb to its previous state from the command line? i can see the spash screen and when i press alt + F6 it gets me to the command line === alinmear is now known as alin|mobile [00:39] k1l, is there like a k3b package name i could grep that would show info [00:40] Evil_Eric: the package name is k3b [00:40] usr13 do you have any other ideas? [00:40] hmmm then why wouldnt it show up [00:40] cowsquad: Why do you expect that to attatch anything rather than just use stdin for the body? [00:41] cowsquad: Also, you should quote "$option". [00:41] * Evil_Eric calls scooby doo and the guys to solve a linux mystery [00:42] i have a upnp server on my lan, xbmc, i noticed that i can see it via the rooted kindle-android, but i have yet to figure out how to get access to it via upnp on the linux box, i am not sure if i have all the dependencies for upnp or a upnp player, sort of irks me, the android sees it yet my lappy cant, anyone ever get access to a upnp server with something linux? [00:42] proka: To see if it is the isp, try loging into the outside IP from inside. [00:42] Evil_Eric: apt-cache depends k3b [00:42] usr13 how do I do that? [00:42] though apt-get install unity-2d would be enough but it doesnt appear as an option after sudo start lightdm [00:42] =( [00:43] proka: if the router is configured correctly and it is your ISP that is blocking it, the you will be able to login from inside but not outside. [00:43] cowsquad: You should also quote "$attach" and I don't understand the purpose of running "ls" before sending the email. [00:43] 1 min cookie has priority [00:43] proka: login to your outside IP from a PC on the LAN [00:44] usr13: But... How? I'm sorry, but I don't really understand what do you want me to do? [00:44] bot [00:44] proka: If it works from inside and not from outside, it is the ISP that is blocking port 22. [00:44] does anyone here have an idea about how to revert back my usb drive to its previous state so it can boot again? i installed xelatex but now it cannot boot. (i am sorry for posting it again..) [00:45] proka: From a PC on the inside of your LAN, try to login to the outside IP, (the one that you are trying to get to is ok as well). ssh out.side.ip [00:46] usr13: That doesn't work, it gives me the connection timed out error [00:46] Alguem ai? [00:46] k1l, i got the info [00:47] Anyone know why I can't install LibreOffice or GIMP? I tried a command from ActionParsnip earlier, but then I had to leave. This is the result; http://pastebin.com/Za2UZSpk [00:47] we had a space between 'k3b ' [00:47] It looks like my dependencies are all screwed up. I DO have a lot of PPAs. [00:47] proka: Then it's your router config that needs correcting. [00:47] Btw, I'm not sure if you understood my problem correctly, I'm basically trying to connect to my own PC, but using the outside IP, the one that I get from the ISP. Locally it works. [00:47] Evil_Eric: ah ok. so you installed it [00:47] k1l, mind if i pm you [00:47] proka: are you behind NAT? [00:48] proka: Try logging into the router's outside IP. [00:48] gordonjcp: I don't know, how do I check that? [00:48] what would it say if i did install it === alin|mobile is now known as alinmear === alinmear is now known as alin|mobile === alin|mobile is now known as alinmear [00:48] proka: What kind of router is it? [00:48] Evil_Eric: keep support in here, so others could correct or learn from it [00:48] proka: you probably are, if you're behind a broadband router. What's your internal IP address? [00:49] hmmmm. I'm moving to a new account on my machine and forgot to backup my .cache directory. I assume that's not needed anyway? [00:49] mjuszczak: no [00:49] k1l, i forgot to say i'm trying 12.10 [00:49] proka: You would have to log into your router and see what it's outside IP is. [00:49] gordonjcp: okay. Applications that need it will re-generate it? [00:49] usr13: The router is ADB. It says this on the sticker on the back: P.DG A4010G A-000-1A1-A4 [00:50] mjuszczak: yes, if they need to [00:50] gordoncjp: My internal IP is 192.168.1.50 (configured it that way), and the router's IP address is 192.168.1.1 [00:50] just red somewhere "...The Unity 2D software has been completely removed from the Ubuntu repositories, so if you want it you'll have to build it from source.." [00:50] =/ [00:50] proka: handy hint, if you type gor and maybe keep hitting tab a couple of times, eventually it will autocomplete my nick and I'll see when you mention me [00:50] thanks === isuldor is now known as briankb [00:51] dsa: There are still many other options, including XFCE. [00:51] proka: that IP address means you're behind NAT [00:51] dsa: oh, thought they were skipping it after 13.04 [00:51] proka: you need to set up a port forward in your router, so that port 22 on the "outside" IP address is routed to port 22 on your desktop machine [00:51] lol [00:51] gordonjcp, Nice, didn't know about that thing with tabbing. [00:51] proka: you should check the documentation for your router, or poke about in the config page [00:51] :d [00:51] guys [00:52] proka: tab-complete is very handy === SierraAR is now known as Sierr[a]AR [00:52] proka: it's just like in the terminal [00:52] gordonjcp, I did the port forwarding, but either I'm not doing it right, or something else is wrong. [00:52] what backup software you offer to make hourly backup on linux server? [00:52] how do you switch to another tty when there is an installation failing? [00:52] or open one up [00:52] chee bahalan [00:53] sambagirl: ctrl+alt+f1 [00:53] Hello? Anyone? [00:53] tthanks [00:53] jordan_U, i am new to bash script I was just trying new things lol, yeah i did put quotes on "$attach". But based on some research, MAIL command doesnt support attaching files from a script [00:53] thanks k1l [00:53] LibreOffice/GIMP issue? [00:53] hey guys, I want to tell nfsd to only listen on 127.0.0.1. I read nfsd(8) and found --host paramter. Is there a configuration file where I can set that parameter? === Sierr[a]AR is now known as SierraAR [00:53] gordonjcp, I've set the protocol to be SSH, put in external port start 22, external port end 22, internal port start 22 and internal port end 22.

[00:55] hi guys, i want to configure a vpn, but i don't know how i should do this .. can anyone help me pls? :) [00:55] proka: funnily though, ssh is a protocol :) [00:55] H4x012, I'm basically trying to ssh to my own PC, but instead of using my local IP address, I want to use the remote IP address I get from the ISP. I've found the IP address on ifconfig.me.

[00:56] proka do you have ssh server and client installed? [00:56] ActionParsnip, Yeah, but when I'm port forwarding it doesn't care what am I going to use it for, it just wants to know if I want it to be TCP or UDP :) [00:56] H4x012, Yes, installed and running. [00:56] paul_, try opening your network connections window and looking for a tab for vpn settings [00:56] proka: hehe just an interesting point [00:56] nice [00:57] sorry i am asking for those, coz just came to conversation [00:57] sometimes i had same problem [00:57] H4x012, No probs :) [00:57] how would one pastebin from a shell a log file?

[00:58] H4x012, The thing that we found out is that nmap reports my port 22 as filtered [00:59] H4x012, I didn't touch anything there, should I? [00:59] proka: /etc/ssh/sshd_config ;) [00:59] MonkeyDust: pastebinit can read direct from files. you need to pipe just for command-output [00:59] ah vpnserver my bad paul_ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVPN [00:59] pastebinit is amazing [00:59] proka [00:59] use iptables [00:59] to allow 22 port [00:59] sambagirl: lots :) [00:59] H4x012, Ok, give me a second pls, I'll report back [00:59] or change port to 2222 [01:00] :d [01:00] :D === Guest95176 is now known as jono [01:00] sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport ssh -j ACCEPT [01:01] join #swift === jono is now known as Guest13462 [01:01] sorry forgot the / [01:01] okay, thanks, i'll try it [01:02] H4x012, Done it.

What do you want to accomplish? [01:08] overpriced_yopla, i like the community wiki: https://help.ubuntu.com/community [01:09] Anyone know why I can't install LibreOffice or GIMP? I tried a command from ActionParsnip earlier, but then I had to leave. This is the result; http://pastebin.com/Za2UZSpk [01:09] Comands grub sudo apt etc... maybe an instruction manual for windows widdowers [01:09] It looks like my dependencies are all screwed up. I DO have a lot of PPAs. [01:09] I've got a Lucid server... apache appears to be running fine (my site is up) but dovecot doesn't seem to be working. Unfortunately, sshd doesn't seem to be working either. I'm assuming the server got drunk and had a family fight over Thanksgiving (one reason I'm out of town to begin with) and it looks like I'm screwed until I can get my hands on it unless someone has another idea. I get asked for a password (ss [01:09] h) then it hangs [01:09] overpriced_yopla, You can always type man in terminal and get manual entry :) [01:09] BlueProtoman: did you remove the PPA? [01:09] proka change your ssh port and try it again [01:10] Y'a des français dans le tas ? [01:10] H4x012, in /etc/ssh/sshd_config? [01:10] yeah [01:10] BlueProtoman: which ppas do you have? and do you really need them? [01:10] btw .. nice community here :) it's my first time to be on this channel and it's great ;D [01:10] hey overpriced_yopla https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromWindows [01:10] !fr | Slevin [01:10] Slevin: Nous sommes désolés, mais ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [01:11] craigbass1976: try passing -vvv to ssh I guess. See if you can execute commands if you can't get your default shell up (can you get another shell up) [01:11] BlueProtoman: "ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d/" [01:11] Thanks proka but that doesnt help....back to google i go [01:11] overpriced_yopla, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromWindows [01:11] k1l: My PPAs have the newer versions of what's in the USC. [01:11] BlueProtoman: but the ppa seems rubbish. that is what causes the errors. [01:11] !terminal | overpriced_yopla [01:11] overpriced_yopla: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [01:11] BlueProtoman: as there is an urgency 'as you said earlier'....... you can install abiword and gnumeric [01:12] BlueProtoman: and show a "lsb_release -a" and a "sudo apt-get update" in a pastebiin pls [01:12] overclucker, Why doesn't it help? It is a bit strange in the beginning, but you'll get used to it I think... [01:12] overpriced_yopla, i also recommend lxde because it feels like winxp but better! :) [01:12] Perfect ubottu i think thats what im looking for. [01:13] i have a upnp server on my lan, xbmc, i noticed that i can see it via the rooted kindle-android, but i have yet to figure out how to get access to it via upnp on the linux box, i am not sure if i have all the dependencies for upnp or a upnp player, sort of irks me, the android sees it yet my lappy cant, anyone ever get access to a upnp server with something linux? [01:13] k1l: http://pastebin.com/uEMdvuc2 and http://pastebin.com/xJGHWvDs (note that I have Synaptic open) [01:13] H4x012, I've changed it to 555, but it still reports port 22 in the error :S [01:14] Is 12.10 recommended yet? [01:14] mjuszczak: 12.10 is the latest stable release [01:14] I am about to wrap up ubuntu install on partition with xp socket stack all jacked up in attempts to get back online for work/study while making a slow transition into linux something [01:14] mjuszczak: since October, yes [01:14] BlueProtoman: o_O you have natty and oneiric sources in your system [01:15] k1l: I'm guessing my shit's real fucked up. [01:15] BlueProtoman: that is a wonder it is running anyway [01:15] jrib: I remember there were some major issues with some people installing it and they were sticking with 12.04. Have those been resolved? I assume I'm being a bit vague here :) So I'll try it out [01:15] mjuszczak: you're being too vague :) Check the release notes [01:15] !notes | mjuszczak [01:15] mjuszczak: Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) release notes can be found here http://ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/12.10 [01:15] BlueProtoman you're mixing different ubuntu versions [01:16] BlueProtoman: and pls: "ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d/" [01:16] BlueProtoman: watch your mouth, this is not the place for profanity [01:16] Thanks :) [01:16] Im installing 12 on a pos dell 7 years ancient and it seems to be going smooth. Used an android to get the os on there. Quiet a feat for me [01:16] MonkeyDust: Here. http://pastebin.com/bqstq59t I just removed some PPAs for things I uninstalled. [01:17] overpriced_yopla: ok, but keep in mind there really isn't a "12". There's 12.04 (corresponds to the fourth month (april) of 2012) and 12.10 (october 2012). So be specific if you need help with something [01:17] so if i have an ubuntu image for pen drive, do I need to reformat the pen drive (usb) or just cleaning the drive is enough [01:17] Ok 12.04. [01:18] BlueProtoman: and last pls: "cat /etc/apt/sources.list" [01:18] assuming that im writing it with dd [01:18] BlueProtoman yeah, natty is or was the culprit [01:18] I formatted mine [01:18] And it booted into ubuntu yay! [01:18] MonkeyDust: Here you go. http://pastebin.com/eehWGZaV [01:18] MonkeyDust: I think this might also be keeping me from upgrading to Ubuntu 12.10. [01:19] BlueProtoman you have to get rid of the natty sources [01:19] MonkeyDust: Will do. [01:20] MonkeyDust: no, his system already thinks it is a natty [01:20] But what happens if I want software that hasn't been ported to oneric or later? [01:20] k1l missed that part [01:20] when i get an error code 13 after mounting a ntfs partition, my hdd is corrupt, isn'T it? [01:20] he should use a real natty sources.list and go for a full up to date update/upgrade/dist-upgrade [01:21] It has the internet!!! Ubuntu saved my job and family. Amazing. I came to irc for nothing....well that website will help. [01:22] k1l: And how might I do that? [01:22] Getting a real natty sources.list, that is? [01:23] !netsplit [01:23] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [01:23] What just happened? o-o [01:23] BlueProtoman basically, your system is too old === wesley is now known as Guest31921 [01:23] Would anyone happend to know a trick to get huawei e160e (recognized as e220 12d1:1003) to work on 12.04/10? [01:24] BlueProtoman: MonkeyDust sry, i was wrong. remove the natty lines from the sources.list [01:24] Delac ubunto works on cricket phones? [01:24] BlueProtoman: then run a "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [01:24] *ubuntu [01:24] hi guys. I'm running a portable ubuntu.img image and trying to get mysql working, but it just won't run. Where do I find system messages? [01:25] and whats a cricket phone overpriced_yopla and how would you plan on instgalling ubuntu on a phone? [01:25] overpriced_yopla: I think you can fix the tcp stack in XP using "netsh ip reset " [01:25] overpriced_yopla: ubuntu is not oficially supported on phnes yet. so you need to ask the develope-community from that special phone. [01:25] but ubuntu is way better than xp anyway [01:25] Its a cell phone service provider and i was asking del if it were possible [01:27] Hey guys, I am using Xmonad, on top of Ubuntu, and am wondering if there is someone in here with a lot of "GUI hacking" experience? I might want to give it a go to pimp my application menu's if that's possible =P [01:28] I mean, It's surely possible but I have no clue what it would involve, is there some application taking care of that that I can look into? [01:29] Hi, im running Xubuntu 12.10, it does not recognized USB 2.0 External Slim CD-ROM Drive for Acer Aspire [01:30] vespakoen: what exactly are you trying to acomplish? [01:30] you know those dropdowns you have on applications, I want o make them look better [01:30] they are fucking ugly =D [01:30] I installed ubuntu via usb on a partition. How do i remove the microsoft partition? [01:30] Or a way to globally hide them, and get them back if I need them [01:30] vespakoen: you probably just need to pick a gtk theme... [01:30] vespakoen, no cursing here [01:31] sorry for that [01:31] overpriced_yopla: use gparted for that [01:31] vespakoen: or, if you like xmonad, consider using applications that don't have those menus displayed at all :) [01:31] haha [01:31] makes sense [01:32] I'm not an uber-nerd or anything, just like to have a TWM === will is now known as Guest74330 [01:32] learning VIM / Emacs etc just takes so much time [01:32] learning vi is one of the most usefull skills you can do. [01:32] emacs - perhaps not so much. [01:33] yep I know, I have the basics down, but still, to replace sublime text, i would need a ****load of more practice [01:33] vespakoen: just run vimtutor. In 30 minutes you'll be able to use it for whatever you want to do (you'll learn to use it more efficiently as time goes on) [01:34] never heard of sublime text. Ive used dozens of text editors over the years. of them all i still perfer vim, geany, and good old CygnusED on my amiga ;) [01:34] my coworker started buzzing about sublime a while ago [01:35] tried it out was pretty cool actually but i wouldn't switch over just yet [01:35] sure, if you do know vim, then you don't need sublime text [01:35] but if you don't know vim, then it's the best you can get [01:35] yea it always seemed like his escape from vim to me lol [01:36] its worth learning vim since or some variant of it is everywhere. ;) [01:36] any suggestions? how can i make aspire one running xubuntu 12.10 to read external cd drive [01:37] hi, im using 12.04 with compiz and im wondering if there's a way to resize and place 6 terminals across my acreen with equal size, without manually resizing each window [01:37] s/screen/screen/ [01:37] jeez [01:37] s/acreen/screen/ [01:37] hi guys. I'm running a portable ubuntu.img image and trying to get mysql working, but it just won't run. Ive tried looking in the mysql logs nothing. Tried the syslog, nothing. Anywhere else? [01:37] rm-fr: compiz grid plugin can only set 4/4 on one screen [01:38] k1l: guess that would do, thank you [01:38] elbeto: plug it in, chedk dmesg command, try mounting the disk by hand.. what sort of disk are you trying to access? [01:38] MonkeyDust: Thanks for your help! System's all clean now. [01:38] Dr. [01:39] Dr_Willis_: thanks, i just got the aspire external cd drive to install software [01:40] install what software? [01:40] nashant_: what exactly is a "portable ubuntu.img image"? How are you attempting to run mysql? What exactly happens when you try? [01:41] also to read files (pictures, docs etc) that I have on cd [01:42] elbeto: plug it in, chedk dmesg command, try mounting the disk by hand...... [01:42] I'll try, thanks! [01:42] jrib: linuxforandroid. installed with sudo apt-get install -y mysql-server, running with sudo service mysql start. Nothing happens. It doesn't display any errors, but also doesn't actually run and create the socket [01:42] !mount [01:42] mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [01:44] nashant_: so nothing in ps -ef? What happens when you run the server directly and avoid using service? [01:44] nashant: for what device is that? i think that is more a device community support issue than a general ubuntu support issue [01:44] elbeto basically: mkdir [some name]; sudo mount /dev/blah/ [that name] [01:44] nashant_: What is the output of "service mysql status"? [01:44] k1l, nashant_: *nod* it's likely some sort of issue with the image === craig is now known as foxxtrot [01:45] nashant: since it is a chroot-install and no real ubuntu install [01:45] MonkeyDust: thanks [01:47] nashant: that will be the adress to ask for support: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585009 [01:47] My questions seem so pathetic... the partition i want to remove is the one with a boot flag. Will it create a bootable drive or should i just leave my system on 24/7? [01:48] Using gparted [01:48] you can alwyas fix the boot stuff.. [01:48] overpriced_yopla: the boot flac is only necessary for the windows [01:48] *flag [01:48] and set your linux / or /boot/ partion boot flag if you wanted.. I agrtee with k11 ;) [01:48] Would anyone happend to know a trick to get huawei e160e (recognized as e220 12d1:1003) to work on 12.04/10? [01:48] but i always set the boot flag out of old habbit. [01:50] jrib: no mention of it in ps -ef [01:50] delac: seems like you need a usb_modeswitch for that. so that its not recognized as a usb stick but a modem [01:50] It wont even let me delete the windows partition [01:50] Jordan_U: it doesn't say anything at all [01:51] nashant_: If this is indeed a chroot that's because upstart has been replaced with a no-op cludge. We can't really support such a configuration. [01:52] Jordan_U: I have no idea what you just said, apart from the chroot, which it is [01:52] delac: make a /lib/udev/rules.d/61-option-modem-modeswitch.rules and include following text: "ATTRS{idVendor}=="12d1", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1003", RUN+="modem-modeswitch -v 0x%s{idVendor} -p 0x%s{idProduct} -t option-zerocd"" [01:53] delac: after a sudo service udev reload it should work like intended [01:55] Jordan_U: with what you were talking about, would apache still work? [01:55] nashant_: What you have is an ugly hack, we can't support it. [01:56] nashant_: You basically don't have upstart at all. [01:57] so without upstart apache would still work [01:59] salut [02:01] hi there! I have a pretty uncommon question (so I presume), I think of getting myself a new ssd drive, upgrade from my hdd. there are those different techs: slc, mlc, tlc which pretty much differ *a lot* when it comes to endurance. So I thought it would be nice to have some solid information (instead of simply guessing) on how much writes do I usually do per day - I am a developer and shuffling lots of data is not that uncommon on my mac [02:03] janisozaur, try ##hardware [02:03] bazhang: thanks [02:05] i see windows in my near futer [02:05] i see totally dumping windows in my Future. [02:05] hello, i have to repair a notebook and i get an error 13 after trying mounting a ntfs partition .. want i can try next? am i supposed to rescue this partition? [02:06] steam and netflix both now on Ubuntu. ;) === Robert_ is now known as Guest23651 [02:06] yeah i got netflix just because its on ubuntu now [02:06] :) [02:06] paul_: you may wan tto try to use ddrescue to image the filesystem to a file then try to recover data from that file [02:06] Amazing. It all worked using my android to install ubuntu on an old dell. You guys are awsome and free! Amazing. [02:08] this method needs time :D 320gb, how long does it need to have an similar image? [02:08] is gnome still suported at all? [02:08] ive used ddrescue to image a 1+TB image from a flakey usb hd.. took like a week. :) but the HD was failing badly [02:08] paul_: what does error 13 mean? [02:08] Evil_Eric: gnome3 is [02:08] is there any ubuntu that uses it [02:09] Evil_Eric: yes, the Ubuntu flavouruses it [02:09] Evil_Eric: i belive theres some out there. Check the disrtowatch homepage perhaps [02:09] hey guys, how do I tell nfsd to only listen on 127.0.0.1? I read nfsd(8) and found --host paramter. Is there a configuration file where I can set that parameter? [02:09] if you mean 'gnome2' [02:09] Evil_Eric: also, the ones made using GTK uses the new GTK3 [02:09] k1l: you sure about that modem-modeswitch or did you mean usb_modeswitch? also, I thought all udev rules are in /etc/udev/rules.d... [02:09] Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 13: ntfs_attr_pread_i: ntfs_pread failed: Input/output error [02:09] briankb: is there a config for it in /etc maybe [02:10] paul_: hd is failing/dead.. not a good sign [02:10] Is anybody having trouble accessing kernel.ubuntu.com? [02:10] thanks willis and parsnip [02:10] paul_: its POSSIBLE ddrescue may be able ti image the whold drive or partion to a file you could then recover [02:11] kroq-gar78: http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ [02:12] ActionParsnip: but what if that site seems to be down for you also? ;) [02:12] ActionParsnip, I'm not at all familiar with nfs. The only configuration files I found that appear to be related are /etc/default/nfs-common [02:12] and /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server [02:12] Dr_Willis__: then the page will tell you :D [02:12] briankb: why do you need nfs to listen on 127.0.0.1 ? [02:12] ActionParsnip: ah thanks. I still want the git kernel tree, however. I'm not sure where it'd be hosted other than there... :( [02:13] kroq-gar78: there may be a PPA [02:13] when i have the created image, how im able to rescue the data of it? just mounting this image? [02:13] so that it cannot be accessed by other machines. I am testing an application which uses it locally (clonezilla) [02:13] it's on a server with a public IP [02:15] [xfce] i made a program launcher for panel 2 that runs sudo swapoff -a && sudo swapon -vda in terminal. when i click on it, a terminal window pops up asking for my password then closes upon entering. Neither command are being run (if i paste into terminal it works fine) whats going on? [02:15] ActionParsnip: true, but I doubt that'd hold a git tree... I'll check again if any of the ubuntu wiki docs mention this [02:16] it works without the && queue but then i would need a second button to turn swap back on [02:16] heys [02:17] question if i update release to 12.10 will i lose any of my data? [02:17] no [02:17] dsa: no, you shouldn't. But you should have backups anyway. [02:18] thanks guys =) [02:18] scarecrow: maybe running "swapoff -a && swapon -vda" in a sudo shell might do it. So try "sudo sh -c 'swapoff -a && swapon -vda'" [02:18] thanx [02:18] all is good if i can access my data even if OS gets messed up [02:18] =) [02:19] dsa: your backups will protect your data [02:19] live linux to the rescue! [02:19] backup your backups! ;) [02:19] hehe [02:19] would that be a backupup or a backbackup? [02:19] any data you dont have backed up 3 times and stored seperately is data you dont care about [02:20] backupup because it sounds like "backup pup" :P [02:20] thats what you tell your dog when you are trying to fill its bowl... [02:20] ;P [02:20] yeah [02:20] I just fed my dog. ;P he was eating it as fast as i could put it in his bowl.

[02:46] Aud1enceOf1, READ the link above [02:46] i've tried different forums but i think i messed it up when installing the first time [02:47] Aud1enceOf1, I just gave you a link. Read it. [02:47] Aud1enceOf1, we already know you need help , a few details would help even more [02:47] The first time i tried to install alongside i changed how much space each OS would have but cancelled in the middle [02:48] now i dont have the option to install along windows [02:48] delete any existing linux partions.. [02:48] where do i do that from? [02:48] and use the unallocated space to partion/install into.. assuming you didenbt cancle during the resizeing operaion. [02:49] i did cancel during the resizing operation [02:49] hi === anonymous is now known as Guest32653 [02:49] the installr should have some options to manually partion. or use gparted from a live cd to delete any existing linux partions. ext2/3/4 and swap [02:49] then restart the installer. [02:49] como hacer un listado de canales???????????' [02:49] Aud1enceOf1: you are lucky the sytem even boots if you did that [02:50] i would suggest doing a FULL backup of your wndows setup and imporntant data files.. befor you break things badly. [02:50] assuming windows is working correctly [02:50] !es>xoanrc [02:50] xoanrc, please see my private message [02:50] ha will do...and yes everything is working fine...i can boot from the live cd and everything...i do have the option to resize partitions but just not exactly sure of what to make them [02:51] Aud1enceOf1: typical linux install has a swap partition and a / partition. [02:51] Aud1enceOf1: more are usefull but not required. [02:51] use them both? [02:51] you DO want at least a / and a swap [02:51] swap is normally ram + a little bit more these days. [02:52] unless you know you dont need much swap. ;) [02:52] you generally want swap, /, and /home [02:53] awesome...thank you...off to do so now [02:53] i can't use windows live in empathy who can help me [02:53] Dr_Willis__: hibernate goes to swap, yes? [02:53] So... when the Steam client for Linux comes out of beta do you think you guys will probably get a lot busier since they are designing it for Ubuntu 12.04? [02:53] almoxarife: yea somthing like that.. i never use suspend/hibernate/sleep ;) [02:53] OpenSorce: we allready get dozen questions about it a day [02:54] OpenSorce: i imagine ther ewill need to be a #ubuntu-steam channel. ;P [02:54] !steam [02:54] Valve have officially announced that they are developing Steam and are working with !ubuntu during their devlopment, see http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/linux/steamd-penguins/ for further details, you can also join #ubuntu-steam for discussion. [02:54] Dr_Willis__, Yeah, I imagine [02:54] Heh../ there allready is. [02:54] :P [02:54] i tend to buy way too much stuff on steam sales.. [02:55] Dr_Willis__, Even Stallman had something vaguely positive to say about it, I was shocked [02:55] Stallman is becomming 'Grumpy old man' ;) [02:55] Dr_Willis__, wasn't he always? I mean even in the early days? [02:55] but with steam and netflix now working on linux.. i am finding less reasons to boot to windows. [02:56] Dr_Willis__, Netflix works on Linux or just on Chromebooks?

[03:01] Dr_Willis__, Not anymore [03:01] i watch them on my gtv but thats getting boring i always wanted them on my desktop [03:02] OpenSorce: they just started doing it like last month i thought.. they allready got rid of it? ;P [03:02] and my desktop is like in a better position than my tv for looking at movies [03:02] Dr_Willis__, trust me I've spent hours in chat and on the phone with them about that, yeah they already stopped it [03:02] hi [entropy] [03:02] Isn't netflix based on M$ tech which has been left unsupported for years already in light of the past success of flash and even more so insignificant now with html5? [03:03] Mephistophilus: you mean silverlight? yes [03:03] Mephistophilus, yeah Netflix has vowed to switch to html5 eventually as well [03:03] I got " [03:03] "** (plymouthd:234): WARNING **: Command line 'dbus-launch --autolaunch=08ddf3fcf038ec-----008 --binary-syntax --close-stderr' exited witn non-zero exit status 1: Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.\n" " when I upgraded xorg to 1.12.4 from 1.11.3 [03:03] Please help me.

Fstab edit and a reboot I guess [03:07] nah remount if relevant i guess [03:07] or reboot if not yea =) [03:08] OpenSorce: never seen that error/message - just using normal ext4 here [03:08] i already use xattr for file caching so it *should work i guess [03:09] Dr_Willis__, "It appears that you do not have extended file system attributes enabled, please enable the user_xattr option for your filesystem and try again." is the whole message, no reason not to enable it I guess [03:09] kernel.ubuntu.com ppa appears to be offline, or is it just my network? [03:09] eternalsword, its offline [03:10] cat must have tripped over the power cord again. ;) [03:10] bazhang: do you know if it's temporary or permanent? [03:11] no idea [03:13] When trying to upgrade from Ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04, I get this error; "An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade. Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message: 'E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.'" [03:13] Any tips? [03:13] BlueProtoman, calculating what? [03:14] The packages to upgrade, I guess. [03:14] *jakr: [03:14] my rfkill is listing my iface as hw blocked.. unblock isn't working. the physical key has been hijacked by some de daemon and now i can't get my wifi back on... ideas? [03:14] Just to make sure I'm not doing it wrong, when enabling user_xattr I should change "UUID=c5e074ce-abf1-4933-b957-76109dc67254 / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1" to "UUID=c5e074ce-abf1-4933-b957-76109dc67254 / ext3 relatime,user_xattr,errors=remount-ro 0 1" right? [03:15] OpenSorce: looks ok to me [03:15] there's any solution for virtualbox kernel Version 3.2.0-33.52: [03:16] SolarisBoy, thanks been a awhile since I edited fstab, should I need to do it for the /home partition too you think? [03:17] not sure in concern to what netflix wants it for =( OpenSorce [03:17] SolarisBoy, either way won't hurt to enable it for both I guess [03:17] Anyone? Issues upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04? [03:17] OpenSorce: nopes [03:17] brb [03:17] BlueProtoman: just ask your actual question [03:18] jrib: I did. "When trying to upgrade from Ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04, I get this error; "An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade. Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message: 'E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.'" Any tips on fixing this?" [03:18] BlueProtoman: people that just join the channel will only see "Anyone? Issues upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04?". That's why it's better to just wait a reasonable amount of time and repeat the question in full [03:19] jrib: Understood. [03:19] BlueProtoman: it should point you to some update manager logs with more details, you can usually get a better idea of what packages are causing the issue that way [03:20] BlueProtoman: or it may even offer more details directly in the GUI, I don't recall === nerd is now known as megharsh [03:22] jrib: Where exactly can I find these logs? [03:23] BlueProtoman: I don't know offhand. Did the error message not mention them? [03:23] is there any need to harden ubuntu or it is secure withought it ? [03:23] jrib: No, it didn't. Wanna see my sudo apt-get update/upgrade? [03:24] BlueProtoman: uh, is there something unusual happening when you do apt-get update/upgrade? [03:24] jrib: Define "unusual." I don't think so, but... [03:24] BlueProtoman: check /var/log/dist-upgrade/ [03:25] BlueProtoman: you can pastebin the apt-get update/upgrade if you want as well [03:25] jrib: Here's my /var/log/dist-upgrade. http://pastebin.com/1aX6VrWR [03:26] BlueProtoman: what file is this exactly? [03:26] /var/log/dist-upgrade/20121124-2211/main.log [03:26] Here is my sudo apt-get update; http://pastebin.com/uXyPUJfp [03:27] BlueProtoman: get apt.log from that directory [03:27] jrib: This is my sudo apt-get upgrade; http://pastebin.com/8j3ZT2Ut [03:28] jrib: And my apt.log is tiny. http://pastebin.com/kZFFw7he [03:28] BlueProtoman: it's strange that your sources point to precise if you are on oneiric [03:28] any way to reload udev rules on 12.04 without booting (done: sudo service udev reastart/reload; sudo udevadm control --reload-rules)? [03:29] jrib: I tried to upgrade, but the client suddenly closed while it was running. That's probably what it is. [03:29] BlueProtoman: change the sources back to oneiric and try again, then check the latest apt.log again [03:30] jrib: How can I quickly do that? I have a lot of PPAs. [03:30] delac: that udevadm command should do it afaik [03:31] delac: (even though the man page says changes should be detected automatically) [03:31] BlueProtoman: just disable the PPAs, they should be disable anyway [03:31] BlueProtoman: (for the upgrade) [03:33] jrib: sudo apt-get update [03:33] http://pastebin.com/0qyay9mz [03:33] BlueProtoman: also, I just realized that /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log might be the latest and that it then gets archived to a directory on later runs [03:34] BlueProtoman: why do you have natty repositories? [03:34] jrib: sudo apt-get upgrade http://paste.ubuntu.com/1384348/ [03:35] jrib: I don't know. I have a lot of PPAs, and some of the software I wanted wasn't available for 11.10. [03:35] megharsh: depends what you do with it... [03:35] BlueProtoman: but we agreed to disable the PPAs [03:36] jrib: Ah, yes, right, silly me. Let's try again. [03:36] BlueProtoman: brb [03:36] jrib: OK. [03:37] anybody know why i'm getting a lot of error msgs on various webvideos since recent updates? http://imagebin.org/237107 [03:38] BlueProtoman: ok [03:39] jrib: I disabled all the sources except the official ones. sudo apt-get update http://paste.ubuntu.com/1384350/ [03:40] jrib: if i am using it for a production machine then ? [03:40] jrib: sudo apt-get upgrade http://paste.ubuntu.com/1384351/ [03:41] BlueProtoman: you should get rid of the duplicates mentioned [03:42] megharsh: same answer [03:42] hello - any body can help me with my CD drive [03:42] i cant find it [03:43] hello from spain [03:44] jrib: Where exactly can I do that? The Software Center doesn't seem to be helping. [03:44] megharsh: basically, you shouldn't find some stupid configuration that lets anyone get root on your box but how much/what you want exposed is something that depends on *your* needs and wants [03:44] BlueProtoman: just edit /etc/apt/sources.list* directly [03:46] hello - any body can help me with my cd drive - i cant find it [03:47] jrib: Ah-ha! Done. Now let's try upgrading. [03:47] gaby_, look about one-third down on your desktop :) [03:48] rsvp: i dont know what you say - guide me please [03:48] ok jrib :) [03:48] jrib: do you know any source or link from where i can learm more about ubuntu hardning ? [03:49] gaby_: giving us details would help... [03:49] jrib: Hrmm. The Update Manager crashed while running again. sudo apt-get update reveals this; http://paste.ubuntu.com/1384361/ [03:49] BlueProtoman: heh === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [03:50] jrib: And this is sudo apt-get upgrade http://paste.ubuntu.com/1384363/ [03:50] BlueProtoman: pastebin /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log and /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log [03:51] megharsh: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/index.en.html most of that is likely relevant to ubuntu. Check help.ubuntu.com/community for more [03:53] jrib: apt.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/1384366/ [03:53] jrib: main.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/1384368/ [03:53] thanks jrib :) [03:54] megharsh: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Security seems like a good place to start too === JoFo_ is now known as Jofo [04:01] BlueProtoman: remove the "libcv-dev" package and try the upgrade again (you might need to revert the sources.list back to oneiric again; not sure. Feel free to try and see what it does without doing so) [04:04] dr_willis_ : i have ubuntu 12.04 - i installed it today and i updated the system - before and after updating - i cant find my DVD/CD drive in my system and i cant open it [04:04] jrib: In progress. [04:04] BlueProtoman: ok, my connection is kind of flaky atm... [04:05] jrib: is their some kind of wiki for ubuntu ? [04:05] jrib: That's all right. [04:06] megharsh: help.ubuntu.com/community is the wik [04:06] i [04:06] gaby_: what sort of cd are you trying to access? have you tried mounting it by hand? [04:06] ok jrib :) [04:07] Dr_Willis_ : i have tried every thing [04:07] jrib: can we download the help.ubuntu.com/community for offline use ? [04:07] gaby_: thats vague.. and if true.. would point to broken hardware basically. ;) [04:07] megharsh: I don't know about that [04:08] jrib: ok [04:08] gaby_: What kind of cd are you trying to access? a Music cd? a Data cd? One you burnt? [04:08] Dr_Willis_ : its working very fine with windows xp [04:08] megharsh: maybe try #ubuntu-doc [04:09] Dr_Willis_: is saying SAMSUNG [04:10] Dr_willis_ : iam not able to open the HARD DRIVE by it self - and i cant see it on my home [04:10] I think you are jumping around to differnt issues/thins.. you said it was a CD/DVD... so how did 'Hard Drive' get into this? [04:11] jrib: All right! Upgrade's a green light! Thank you so much for helping me out here! [04:12] Something I was wondering. What's the differences between the vim-minimal package and vim, and would installing vim with vim-minimal being there by default cause conflcits? [04:12] BlueProtoman: no problem. After the upgrade completes, if you still want that -dev package, just try to install it again. It may just work, it may have been replaced/renamed, or there may be some issue with it [04:12] jrib: No problem. You da man. Have a good night! [04:12] vim replaces vim-minimal Chaos7Theory [04:12] I am not trying to be mean, to you or anyone involved with Ubuntu. [04:13] But PEOPLE DIED when a software error crashed Air France 447. [04:13] Chaos7Theory: vim-minimal i think used to be the default. it had some features missing. I may be thinking of vim vs vim-full however..

[04:16] Oh, vim-minimal is referred to as vim-tiny on Ubuntu. [04:16] Chaos7Theory: ;) [04:17] I recall it used to be vim-tiny and 'vim-full' but the name maybe just 'vim' these days [04:17] Dr_Willis__, Well the netflix thing works but it's a bit choppy gonna try with a lighter weight DE, maybe LXDE of XFCE [04:17] ages ago one of he first things i did was install the complete vim package. oherwise i did not get arrow key support, or code coloring features [04:18] OpenSorce: what do you expect from wine running firefox ;) [04:18] hi [04:19] hm. how do I enable java in firefox?

[04:21] killer: alter your .dmrc or make a custome .xsession file [04:21] or was it .xinitrc (it used to be .xinitrc) [04:22] Uninstalling vim-tiny wants me to in turn remove ubuntu-minimal. ._. [04:22] stobix: You also need to install IcedTea [04:22] Chaos7Theory: if you are installing a bigger vim - you dont need to remove vim-tiny it will auto remove it i imagine [04:22] Chaos7Theory: Ah, thanks. [04:23] and removeing anything from a meta-package like ubuntu-minimal will remove the meta poackage [04:23] Dr_Willies__: It didn't remove it, and the gui version doesn't work because of it. [04:23] its not a big deal. [04:23] Chaos7Theory: thats odd.. what gui version? [04:23] Dr_Willis__: It seems vim comes with a GUI vim 'gvim', but it doesn't think it exists considering vim-tiny is still there I imagine. [04:24] Dr_Willis__: i think it's .xinitrc file [04:24] killer: i think that got changed like a year ago.. but it may look for both ;) [04:24] Chaos7Theory: you need vim-gtk or vim-gnome to get gvim, it doesn't come with vim [04:24] tsism: Ah, thanks.

That means vim-gnome is officially supported, but vim-gtk isn't. [04:32] Chaos7Theory: yeah vim-gtk is in universe, there is that difference too [04:32] though they are all built from the same source package, so not much difference really [04:32] They really should make synaptic installed by default alongside Ubuntu Software Center ._. [04:33] Chaos7Theory, was for a bit, but they are scared of people destroying their PC's lol [04:34] err... I appear to have been forced to drop to tty. lightdm is completely broken right now. [04:34] and I'm not entirely sure what to do [04:35] otend, well... you could try to install gdm and replace lightdm [04:35] xdm, gdm and kdm [04:35] well, to be completely honest, I'm not sure it's lightdm itself. weirdly, I have a mouse pointer, but nothing else except for tty. is it the display manager, most likely? [04:36] session manager [04:36] fall back to twm? [04:36] how would I go about doing that? [04:36] twm is a window manager [04:36] ...oh. [04:37] so, remove lightdm and install gdm, correct? [04:37] ipup, I remember some thing in Arch on time like that, just thinking out load [04:37] loud [04:37] hi, I installed python 2.7 and now Ubuntu 10.04 won't boot, anyone know what I should do? [04:37] you you like twm, you should try fvwm and it's used widely in bsd world [04:38] fvwm is scriptable also [04:38] ipup, I don't like it, it is just used to test if I had a working X11 [04:38] system [04:38] if i have a package how can i distinguish that it's an ubuntu package ? [04:38] megharsh, like a Deb file you mean? [04:39] what's somewhat amusing is that I now have a mouse with no conceivable use [04:39] does anyone here love me? i need love ._. [04:39] I THINK this may have to do with me removing Bumblebee. [04:39] bluegrass, not a bluegrass music fan, but sure!! [04:39] ahoneybun: i meant to say it's original ubuntu's package or some of it's derivative packgage for eg mint [04:39] oh, ok :> [04:39] thanks Aha2Y [04:39] ahoneybun [04:39] aho-tab :p [04:40] megharsh, mint and ubuntu use same packages they work on either it is just a pure debian package will not always work on them both [04:40] Dr_Willis__, the netflix thing starts ff for windows under wine in kiosk mode for some reason, but you hit F11 it fixes that [04:41] ipup, bumblebee is that nvidia gpu right? [04:41] i have no idea [04:41] otend, if it is a nvidia gpu driver then yes [04:41] Nvidia switcher, yes [04:41] ahoneybun: ok , i want to work debian packages i have to convert it into ubuntu package to make it work ? [04:41] I probably should have thought this through. [04:41] anyone know about python dependencies and how to recover Ubuntu 10.04 if it won't fully boot after installing python 2.7? Thanks in advance [04:42] otend, I would reinstall that driver package for bumblebee as it handles the display [04:42] and then reboot [04:42] sad thing is, I actually followed their guide to removing it. that's a pretty bad sign. [04:43] megharsh, so you have a pure debian package and want to work it on ubuntu? [04:43] otend, why did you remove it? and what was the name of it? [04:43] anyone knows how to set left cursor in xmonad ? [04:43] ahoneybun: ya [04:44] anyone knows how to set cursor default as left cursor in xmonad ? [04:44] I removed it because Optirun didn't play very nicely with Steam. I purged the PPA as instructed by the guide for removal, followed by manually removing the packages bumblebee and bumblebee-nvidia, as well as virtualgl [04:44] which was probably not my best idea [04:44] megharsh, well, I think you need to get the source code and compile it for ubuntu [04:44] could you do me a huge favor and throw the ppa at me? [04:44] could anyone possibly help? or should I ask elsewhere? as my main system now won't start :( [04:44] ahoneybun: do you have any wiki or link about how to do it ? [04:44] otend, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bumblebee/stable [04:45] hen, I saw your post and have been thinking about it [04:45] thank you much [04:45] otend, sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia linux-headers-generic [04:45] ahoneybun, thank you for your help [04:46] hen, what do you have on your screen at boot up? [04:46] megharsh, compiling? [04:46] yes compiling from source. [04:46] ahoneybun, just a ubuntu logo with the loading dots, if try to boot into recovery mode, it shows the booting logs, and gets stuck with a blinking console cursor after a certain point [04:47] hen when you get to the loading dots, hit ctrl+F1 [04:47] see if it get you to tty [04:47] ok [04:48] megharsh, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware [04:48] i tried ctrl-alt-f1 but nothing [04:48] does anyone have any idea how to rescue the files from lost+found folder?

Brb [04:52] Rosbuntu, oh ok, open a terminal from the dash [04:52] hen, np tell me if it works [04:53] ahoneybun ok hold on. lemme go to linux [04:53] stay here [04:53] Rosbuntu, and run the "sudo cp -r ""whatever file"" " I believe [04:54] Rosbuntu, http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fileman.html [04:57] chillpill_, nice name === sid|1 is now known as HugASid|1 [05:02] can i run openbox on my ubuntu 12.10 ?

[05:06] also to install Ubuntu on my friends Windows computer it looks like we have to be connected to the wired internet in order to do that. Is that true. [05:07] you need some kind of active internet connection i though [05:07] t [05:07] and my third concern is. I am an idiot so I understand no more well. But I don't know anything about unity. What do I do [05:08] unity is pretty easy to use [05:08] for dummies [05:08] Th3Pun15h3r: so you can install Ubuntu with the wireless hotspot like Starbucks [05:08] ya as long as it finds your wifi adapter/card [05:08] I'm no dummy. That's my problem. [05:09] leaving the Unity problem for another time. Understanding that I can use a wireless hotspot. Let's go to my problem with my Mac [05:09] i always cut off the internet when i am istalling ubuntu then i find something insteresting [05:09] I'm using my phone as wireless hotspot my Mac we will see neighborhood computers but it won't see my wireless hotspot. I'm talking about with the live CD. I appreciate your help === HugASid|1 is now known as LynchSid|1 [05:10] Cool I didn't have to make 1 Correction to that [05:11] i don't trust netinstall ways because you don't know what's injected on the fly [05:11] If we could fix this and I could be the internet from my with Ubuntu then I could learn Unity [05:12] ipup: for you saying that to me? [05:13] ipup: WERE you saying that to me? [05:13] can anyone tell me how do i rescue files from lost+found folders [05:13] Hello Everyone, I'm having an issue installing kubuntu. Well, kubuntu is installed fine, I think the issue is with Grub, because the Windows boot loader shows up, even though I know Grub is installed with kubuntu. Any ideas [05:13] The live CD says that in order to install you need to have an internet connection. That's all I know. [05:14] so is there anyway I can understand what the Mac does not see my wifi signal but it does see my neighbors [05:15] I'm going creazy with this. I originally had Archlinux installed, then I wiped it, then had an issue with the original grub installed, so I resored the bootloader using a windows restore disk, now I cannot get grub to install for the life of me. [05:15] not for sure unless its using a generic wifi driver might have to wait till you can install the actual drivers for it either with the ndiswrapper or get the actual linux driver [05:15] can anyone tell me how do i rescue files from lost+found folder plz [05:15] <[deXter]> Abraham, Just copy-paste them [05:15] I tried using wubi and the liveCD install (from flash drive) [05:16] <[deXter]> Zach___, Don't use wubi, it only messes things up [05:16] [deXter]: u mean copy the lost+ found then paste them where [05:16] <[deXter]> Abraham, Well paste them whereever you want to [05:16] anyone used bodhi or wattos? [05:16] you see I have a 1 terabyte EXTERNAL drive ( Internal is only 80 gigs) and it's written in the EXT 4 so I need Ubuntu because even with fancy program installed the Mac will not see the Ubuntu partition on my hard drive [05:16] wondering if either is better than lubuntu for a lightweight 64 bit os [05:17] <[deXter]> Zach___, http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ [05:17] xubuntu is better than lubuntu [05:17] [deXter]: i cant copy the files inside lost+found folder.. but i only can copy the lost+folder [05:17] should i do that? [05:17] <[deXter]> Th3Pun15h3r, I've used bodhi and don't think it's lighter than lubuntu, plus E17 is still under heavy development, not suitable for daily usage, if you ask me. [05:17] all caps dash don't use WUBI [05:17] tripelb: wlan n mode maybe [05:17] Abraham: Your Ubuntu install has 3rd party software. Bug report ignored. [05:17] ^ [05:17] xubuntu still runs slow on the laptop I currently use crunchbang [05:18] A valid bug report requires you to be running completely vanilla ubuntu install [05:18] I can install this from windows? [05:18] tenX: what does that mean please. it's a vanilla live CD [05:18] <[deXter]> Zach___, it's a bootable CD, you can burn it using any OS you want to. (Or you can make it into a bootable USB) [05:18] Zach___ if you do you will not receive any community support [05:18] USER Preflex welcome [05:19] <[deXter]> Th3Pun15h3r, what's your laptop [05:19] <[deXter]> 's specs? [05:19] If you'd like to receive community support you are not allowed to have any 3rd party software installed [05:19] [deXter]: it says cant enter inside the folder lost+found [05:19] Zach___: please be sure to read the rules of this channel [05:19] <[deXter]> Abraham, you'll need to enter it as root [05:19] Okay, then what should I do then? [05:20] tripelb: only a guess your wlan being on n frequences while your wlan card/driver doesnt support that. would explain why other networks show up [05:20] [deXter]: how tell me the whole process [05:20] Zach___: PM [05:21] <[deXter]> Abraham, http://rolandeckert.com/notes/recovery [05:21] hello [05:21] I wonder if I can use lxde and just switch it to the same kernel [05:22] tenX: so I should change the frequency on ubuntu. Is that right.? [05:22] Just to make sure I didn't just misspeak in another channel, wubi is unsupported in here, right? [05:22] <[deXter]> Th3Pun15h3r, Join #ubuntu-offtopic , because this is all offtpoic talk.

[06:52] i just want to play... it's an old inspiron laptop... the timestamp on the background image is 2009... ;-) [06:52] cutt3r: do I have to change permissions before ./ [06:52] I'm trying the mini-iso. not sure if it allows a server install or just the desktop (which will do I suppose) [06:53] jhanarato: assuming you had to install it with pae, you could just install the non(pae) kernel and remove the other [06:54] the boot CD won't boot [06:54] jhanarato: the mini-iso has a multitude of options for desktops, [06:54] and servers? [06:54] weird situation I know :-) [06:54] might have to dish out for a sheeva plug [06:55] but the shipping to australia is almost the cost of the device itself [06:55] i have a second question also, Compiz Settings Manager will not start on my machine [06:55] iv seen bugs filed, but no fix [06:55] jhanarato: yes, at the expert level you have many options, why dont you just run the installer or read the docs [06:56] sorry, you're right [06:57] I'm actually half way through "Installing the base system" and wondering if it is worth waiting [06:57] I will figure it out thanks. :-) [06:57] no one can answer any of mine, lol [06:58] sigh [06:58] join/ #lubuntu [06:58] lol wrong window [06:59] is there a terminal command to reset all unity?

I doun't believe there is an advantage in installing the deb from Skype webiste [07:07] cosmicfires what command(s) should I run? [07:07] I think you need to make /etc/raidtab [07:08] I'm looking at my notes it's been awhile since I've set raid up, I used the ubuntu alternate install dvd most recently [07:08] I want to install Ubuntu in windows. Do you have any suggestion? Use CD or Windows Installer (via wubi.exe) [07:08] Trixie: use windows ubuntu installer [07:08] cosmicfires okay awesome..I've created the directory /etc/raidtab [07:08] wubi especially if you are not familiar with linux [07:08] Trixie yeah use the windows installer [07:09] raidtab is a file not a directory [07:09] Noah: http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/linux-raid.html [07:09] sail: my guess, the usb is toast, look at /var/log/syslog and kern.log, bet there are errors associated with the usb [07:09] Thank you so much for your suggestion! [07:09] Trixie: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/windows-installer [07:09] raidtab is archaic it's not used anymore [07:10] cosmicfires..okay suggestions on something to use instead? I've already got a working ubuntu install so I can't use the initial setup wizard. It's server 12.04 [07:11] Trixie_: wubi is a good choice for someone entertaining the idea of using linux, its an easy install [07:11] by the way, the installer is 32bit or 64bit? [07:11] I'm looking at that url I pasted [07:11] Trixie_: the installer is dependent on your win system, is it 32 or 64? [07:12] my windows is 32bit [07:12] Trixie_: then you want the 32bit [07:12] is there a way you can get information on a package before you install it in terminal? as in do a quick query on what it is? thanks [07:13] I set raid up with the installer [07:13] Trixie_: is the hardware 64bit? [07:13] cosmicfires my disc drive is broken in the machine..makes things really difficult [07:13] you want raidreconf I think [07:13] remmy56: apt-cache show [07:14] Yes, I want ubuntu 32bit, instead of 64bit. When I try to check my Ubuntu system information, it says Your OS is: Ubuntu 64 bit [07:14] sail, thanks, perfect! [07:14] I have more information on my wireless card.....Can someone help me please??......I need to know if I am missing a driver. [07:15] Trixie: download 32 bit image and install it through usb [07:15] So, I uninstall Ubuntu, and unzip the 32bit wubi.exe from ubuntu iso file. [07:15] Noah: http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl8_raidreconf.htm [07:15] cosmicfires the only thing is, cat /proc/mdstat shows (2/2), an active raid is already setup..it actually just finished resyncing [07:15] Finally, I dig out the 32bit version of wubi.exe from ubuntu iso file. [07:15] FlowRiser,are you there? [07:16] Lavare, yes i am, sry i had my own share of problems :) [07:16] Ok, just for the record - the mini-iso gives many options incuding a variety of server installations... looks like canonical did a good job. :-) [07:16] then you don't have to build it, I'm not sure what the problem is [07:16] looks like raidreconf isn't current anyway [07:16] It is ok...lol...Can you help me though?

I have the latest ubuntu, it wasn't like this last week. I think it's an update from ubuntu.com [07:50] thanks dcherniv!! [07:50] one, did it work? [07:51] perfectly! help me understand what that means and how to fix permanently [07:51] one, in xrandr --output specifies which monitor the settings are applied [07:52] one, so on hdmi1 we set the resolution to 1680x1050 and position it by --pos, for output HDMI3 we set it to the right of HDMI1 and set the mode to 1920x1080 [07:53] one, your problem was that by default Xorg set HDMI3 to the same res as hdmi1 and that res was not supported by HDMI3 [07:53] one, you can try using arandr which is a GUI frontend to xrandr, it should let you save the settings [07:53] wow, I'm impressed!

I'm in the sticky situation of needing/wanting a version of a package that is in raring, whilst running quantal... is there a reasonably easy way to push this package ahead but not disturb others? Or is this going to create a big mess of dependency problems? [08:00] nomind, uxterm understands UTF [08:01] nomind, but then again xterm should understand UTF nowadays so theres no difference [08:01] if i remove it hope is doesnt create any problem with system? [08:02] nomind, oh my... no dont remove it [08:02] nomind, why? [08:02] ah just want to remove extra stuff in ubuntu which is not in my usage [08:03] nomind, xorg depends on xterm so you cant really remove it [08:04] dcherniv: oh thanx for saving my ass === stijnaway is now known as stijndg [08:07] nomind: it may be safer to do it the opposite way and just get what you need (rather than remove what you don't) by starting with a minimal install [08:07] !mini | nomind [08:07] nomind: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD).

When I exit BusyBox, it does find the root disk, but it says "The disk drive for / is not ready yet or not present" and offers me a maintenance shell. Am I misunderstanding the rootdelay option? [08:29] how to find the devices attached to the router [08:30] arunkumar413: consult your router documentation [08:30] auronandace: is there any command to find it [08:31] arunkumar413: Why would you want to try to look with a command? It's not very accurate... [08:31] Diamondcite: because i don't have the admin rights to the router [08:32] arunkumar413: Also some devices won't even announce they are attached to the router... [08:32] Hi everyone! [08:32] arunkumar413: your router is entirely separate from ubuntu, this isn't a ubuntu issue [08:32] HI GUYS, HOW CAN I GET MY UBUNTU TO REMEMBER WINDOW SIZES?

[08:32] neil098: Please don't use caps [08:32] neil098: BY NOT TYPING IN CAPS! [08:33] arunkumar413: What are you trying to find? A printer? NAS? Long lost iphone which much be connected? Vulnerable computers connected to a coffee shop? [08:33] Woops! :) [08:33] I am interested in installing Ubuntu 32bit, please tell me what to do, thank you! [08:33] My bad. [08:34] arunkumar413: the best you can do is run 'wireshark' in promiscuous mode , that is, you will sniff the wire to the best of your cards capability and as allowed by the router, there are 'netstat' equiv for the same thing [08:34] How can I get my ubuntu 12.04 netbook to remember its window sizes? It exceeds the screen. [08:35] neil098: It's not remembering window sizes? As far as I know, google chrome, firefox, gedit and the built in terminal all seem to remember the sizes for me.. [08:35] neil098: Set the display [08:36] what about the pop up windows? like when you save or download files. [08:36] I was able to set the screen on the recommended display [08:36] neil098: popup from where? what created the popup? [08:36] Does ${PATH} include subdirs? [08:36] neil098: hrm... I never knew how to fix that =O .. ended up learning to navigate with keyboard since some windows are just too darn big. [08:37] JustSighDudes: No it does not. [08:37] Thanks [08:37] JustSighDudes: PATH-searching code will not consider subdirectories of what's listed in $PATH, if that's what you mean.

Is there a way to access it via terminal? [08:40] thomas7788: depends on what 'good enough' is [08:40] almoxarife: If it is manually set then ?

[08:41] Karlo_: If you don't mind plese explain more [08:41] yeah agree, i had to hold down alt key, @almoxarife yah know like when you right-click on a pic when you wanna download it. A "save" window will appear [08:41] badbandit: the encrypted is on the vm? [08:41] hello evryone.I have a small query [08:42] no, Im working inside an ubuntu guest on a win8 host, I connected a 2nd harddrive from my (broken) laptop as a 2nd drive... I got it to mount and can access it but when I go to the home folder where my files are, it is encrypted [08:42] just has a readme file [08:42] Guest23219, the computer has a battery which it uses when it doesn't have external power, to keep the clock running. If the battery is dead, then the clock will be wrong when you start the machine again. [08:42] I tried to install Ubuntu via Windows Installer (wubi.exe), I don't know it's Ubuntu 64 bit OS.

[08:43] thomas7788: can you get into ubuntu? [08:44] Karlo_: thanks ! [08:44] almoxarife: i think neil098 meant save dialogue rather than pop-up [08:44] Ubuntu 64 bit OS Windows Installer supports AMD64, after setup finished, My 32 bit system, installed a Ubuntu 64 bit OS!? [08:44] auronandace: ok [08:44] Karlo_: Is it chargable ? [08:45] thomas7788: you may have a 64bit machine, having a win32bit install does not mean the hardware is not 64bit, this is how i found out i was on a 64bit machine, if you have one, great. [08:46] So, users must be very careful to choose Windows Installer, make sure they want 32bit or 64bit Windows installer. [08:47] Guest23219: I don't really know that much about it -- I suggest you choose some good keywords and search the Web. [08:47] after i have upgraded to ubuntu 12.10 from 12.04 i am not receiving any updates..only updates that i receive is for browsers like opera and firefox [08:47] thomas7788: a 64bit install wont work on a 32bit hardware, no matter what, it would error out, you would see it [08:48] <16SAAK2LL> tkmostt: are u sure you use correct software sources for the new version? [08:48] have there been no updates from canonical after 12.10 release...or something is wrong in my software update configuration?

If I don't received any updates, I will go to Ubuntu dash, and search 'update manager' to see any new updates. Or open system information, if you see, "system is up-to-date' that means you don't need update yet. It's up-to-date already!

[08:54] *any fix for this? === dinesh__ is now known as ceedee [08:55] neil098: does placing the mouse at any corner change the mouse shape? [08:55] My system is 32bit system. So, I uninstalled and reinstalled Ubuntu AMD64 bit several times. :-( [08:55] thomas7788: if you are on a 32bit system you need the 32bit ubuntu [08:57] How do you know my unbuntu is setup correctly after installation? [08:57] Define "correctly" [08:57] thomas7788, when you try that, ubuntu gives an error. so i doubt you intalled 64 bit on 32 bit. [08:57] Do I need to setup security firewall? Install anti-virus software? [08:58] thomas7788: take for a spin, using firefox go to youtube, start a vid, thats a pretty good test of alot of things [08:58] Yes, I think so. [08:58] thomas7788: how do you connect to the internet? [08:58] Do I have to take care of security installation matter or just enjoy it? [08:58] thomas7788: how do you connect to the internet? [08:59] thomas7788, you can stick with your default, but are you concern with security ? [09:00] It's hard ware from my telephone company. [09:00] thomas7788: lets assume you have this config, internet > modem > router > you , then no firewall is needed, the router is the firewall [09:01] A message like "Your system is protected" from Ubuntu, that all I need to know. :) [09:01] neil098: If you can't resize a window via mouse, you can try doing it from the keyboard. Alt-F8, then use one arrow key to choose an edge, then use the opposite arrow key several times to shrink the window by moving that edge towards the center. Hit Enter when done. [09:01] thomas7788: lets assume you dont have windoz machines, then no virus checking, if you do have win machines then virus checking is a courtesy to the win machines [09:02] thomas7788, for default install and most usage, i think linux was more secure than windows [09:02] @Karlo yeah but when it comes up again it is the same size? [09:02] I don't know. Try it and find out! [09:03] Well, I use Windows 8 Pro right now. I install Mcafee Internet Security [09:03] i can resize it definitely but it does not remember the size [09:03] thomas7788: then let the win machines take care of themselves [09:04] thomas7788: let them carry the overhead, its they who created the mess :) [09:05] Thank you.

In Ubuntu 12.10 every program seems to drop this error message window from time to time. This is very annoying and looks like Windows 95. Is it possible to deactivate it globally? It is OK if my computer sends a report to Launchpad but it is not OK if it asks every five minutes. [09:11] long time no see [09:13] netAction: its not normal to drop error messages, you got issues [09:14] almoxarife: I think it is normal. Didn't see any computer running 12.10 that has not these messages when connecting Bluetooth e.g. or when GIMP crashs.

[09:45] when i put the external HDD into a windows PC it works, but here not [09:45] cosmin: Then run a filesystem check in windows and unmount it cleanly in windows. [09:46] ok [09:46] thanks [09:46] aaa and another thing with this [09:46] it shows me double [09:46] instead of only one [09:47] in Home Folder at Devices, instead of showing me one , it shows me double [09:47] it's the external but double [09:47] !enter | cosmin [09:47] cosmin: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line.

But here in vaio when i press install ubuntu it would begin laoding to no real end [10:01] buffer -1 [10:03] Gamefreak: its hard to say, i just installed ubuntu via the 'mini-iso' , its a network install, those work for me where suppose full packed isos dont, got a nice internet connection?

[10:52] almoxarife: i already got the inxi script but it only says wl, same as the applet and can that be right? [10:53] epzil0n: sounds right then [10:53] almoxarife: i used lspci | grep -i wireless but that only tells the card [10:54] epzil0n: either /var/log/syslog or kern.log should also say something about the driver loaded at boot [10:54] almoxarife: ok, the thing is that i tried linux mint and the speed was just horrible and then tried cinnarch which couldn't find my card so no connection but i xubuntu the speed is as it should? [10:55] almoxarife: ok, i'll check there too [10:56] epzil0n: speed as it should? what driver do you think should be loaded? [10:56] almoxarife: the card is Broadcom BCM4313 btw and i have seen that many broadcom card got issues with linux [10:57] almoxarife: that's why i'm back with xubuntu because it's the only distro that works ok with this card [10:57] epzil0n: broadcom, eek, you got a working card, leave it alone [10:57] almoxarife: hehe, i will.. just curious ;) [10:58] if it aint broke...

[11:22] of trying [11:22] MonkeyDust, not. [11:22] 16SAAK2LL: reading isn't your strong point, is it? [11:22] I have come to know that the default ubuntu firewall is disabled by default, so was my system vulnerable in past and can a network switch firewall sufficient in place of the ubuntu firewall? [11:22] lol [11:22] invariant use apt-get instead [11:22] MonkeyDust, and do what? [11:23] solus: get a program called dban execute it and all will be gone [11:23] phoenix_firebrd: Linux doesn't need a firewall [11:23] phoenix_firebrd: if its configured properly and you trust your local network sure [11:23] I almost need a promise on that haha [11:23] gordonjcp: what about the browser? [11:23] phoenix_firebrd: you *might* if you're on a direct connection to the Internet, running a complex server [11:23] MonkeyDust, which option does something which is about the same to aptitude's search feature? [11:23] that'd kill everything o_o [11:23] <16SAAK2LL> gordonjcp: My fault, there were some messages between ur 2 posts, so never mind [11:23] phoenix_firebrd: what have browsers got to do with firewalls [11:23] 16SAAK2LL: ;-) [11:23] dban will kill anything guaranteed DOD certified [11:23] quoexl: way overkill [11:23] gordonjcp: I am through a switch which has a firewall, is that sufficient? [11:24] phoenix_firebrd: oh yeah, definitely [11:24] uhh I forgot to mention it was a dual boot, so Windows 7 is active on the computer [11:24] oh then yer screwed [11:24] Working perfectly fine too [11:24] quoexl: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ will destroy all the data beyond any hope of recovery [11:24] Solus: there used to be a thing where you had to reinstall the Windows MBR [11:24] invariant guess #bash is better place for scripting issues [11:24] just change the boot.ini to not go to linux anymore if you deleted the partitions [11:24] Solus: I don't know if that's still a thing [11:24] gordonjcp: If the firewall is disabled, Can an person open a port remotely in my computer? [11:25] phoenix_firebrd: no [11:25] MonkeyDust, it's not a scripting issue. You just made a very wrong suggestion. [11:25] phoenix_firebrd: if you're running a normal Ubuntu desktop behind a NAT router, it's just about as secure as you can get [11:25] phoenix_firebrd: if your firewall is disabled all ports are open to incoming traffic [11:25] MonkeyDust, you shouldn't have said anything and are now trying to save your skin. [11:25] quoexl: doesn't matter, if nothing is listening [11:25] gordonjcp: there was a program called EasyBCD that was specifically designed to correct this, but it doesn't work for me. I swear I have the worst of luck when it comes to technology. I'm not even technologically challenged either [11:26] gordonjcp: true [11:26] invariant it's a bash command, hence my suggestion [11:26] Solus: I don't know anything about Windows, it's just a thing I remember someone having problems with before [11:26] MonkeyDust, every program is a bash command. [11:26] gordonjcp: quoexl What if I am using a bit torrent client? [11:26] bash command? [11:27] SolarisBoy, it's not a bash builtin. [11:27] SolarisBoy, MonkeyDust is a very confused person. [11:27] phoenix_firebrd: ideally you'd forward some ports from the outside world to your desktop machine, but you'd need to check the bittorrent and router documentation for that [11:27] Or monkey, I am not sure. [11:27] gotcha lols [11:27] phoenix_firebrd: your bittorrent client listens on a range of ports [11:27] phoenix_firebrd: other clients will want to connect to your client, which means running a server of sorts [11:28] I've used EasyBCD to delete GRUB. Fixed the MBR. Rebooted. GRUB is back. I listed all the drives on my computer, but I don't see the /boot where Ubuntu was installed. However when I go to set up a new boot method (just for experimental/exploring purposes) I see that /boot is an available place to boot from. [11:28] Solus: check your windows boot.ini [11:28] I thought the standard way to fix Windows was just to wipe it and reinstall... [11:28] gordonjcp: So without administrator privileges someone cannot access my files other than the ones listed in the torrent client? [11:28] phoenix_firebrd: not unless you've got something very misconfigured [11:29] gordonjcp: right [11:29] Its installed in the MBR, not the OS. I did a wipe. Also I lack a CD Drive. I've been doing everything via USB. quoexl: I'll check that now [11:29] gordonjcp: ty [11:29] quoexl: ty [11:30] bittorrent is also designed to pass directly through NAT [11:31] err [11:31] quoexl: err, that statement is just wrong. [11:32] quoexl: bittorrent consists of a bit more than just one outgoing connection. [11:32] boot.ini apparently doesn't exit for Win7...? [11:32] oh that was nice of them [11:32] quoexl: in case of letting things "just work" for the end-user, that is still correct though. [11:32] Referrals said to use EasyBCD to edit the boot options, which I did. But uh it still comes back. It's a plague. [11:33] theres always dban [11:33] I'm not desperate enough to nuke yet [11:34] tried googling remove grub from windows 7 [11:35] hi [11:35] I did that already. I've done tons of research on this, but alast everything fails. My last hope is creating a bootable usb to run the recovery disc from, which I did. However the OS tells me that its not compatible with my version, yet the disc is produced by the same exact computer [11:35] You've got to love Microsoft [11:36] then my suggestion holds the most water, backup data on the windows partition dban it and reinstall === luigi is now known as Guest52972 [11:38] The worst part about it is that its true. I have nothing to save, since it was recently reinstalled. My only concern is, that to reinstall windows I'd need the recovery drive. Can I manage to nuke everything but the recovery drive? [11:38] Well rather partition [11:38] I should say [11:38] sure dban c: [11:39] 16SAAK2LL: connection is too slow ...should i post incomplete results of "sudo apt-get update" in terminal? [11:39] <16SAAK2LL> tkmostt: yes, you can [11:40] ok [11:41] Researching dban before jumping into anything [11:41] thanks for the suggestion [11:41] its a DOD certified drive killer [11:42] hello! are adobe going to support flah plugin in linux for processors without sse2 ? [11:42] hello [11:42] 16SAAK2LL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1384989/ [11:43] <16SAAK2LL> tkmostt: that looks good to me, just let it finish and afterwards run "sudo apt-get upgrade" [11:43] bye [11:44] 16SAAK2LL: ok ,would wait for it to finish...btw it is running for more than an hour..never ever it was that slow [11:45] <16SAAK2LL> tkmostt: is that ur internet connection in general or just this special case? [11:46] 16SAAK2LL: the connection is slow now...but still i am able to browse properly...i think it might be a special case ...or maybe the ubuntu server which i am using is down [11:47] <16SAAK2LL> tkmostt: Hm.. sounds sort of strange [11:47] tried pinging it? [11:47] <16SAAK2LL> Anyone around here using 12.10 and can verify these are the correct sources? [11:48] all my boxes are 10.04 [11:49] hi, my laptop(dell inspiron 1420) has display problem, can anyone please help with right drivers? http://askubuntu.com/questions/221568/which-graphics-driver-will-solve-my-laptop-screen-display-problem [11:49] don't you think that 12.04 would be a reasonable upgrade? [11:49] hi [11:49] they work [11:50] yeah, "dont fix if it aint broken" is popular :D [11:50] !it works for me [11:50] quoexl: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [11:51] I run business continuity servers [11:51] upgrade my boxes gotta upgrade the client boxes and hope it works [11:52] i am currently setting up a content server that should have >4T storage, probably in RAID6 [11:52] good luck with that [11:52] and i have come to the conclusion that ubuntu 12.04 is the way to go [11:52] Only 4T? Why not two discs in raid1? [11:53] i have 2x2T disks [11:53] so adding one 2T [11:53] or 2 for raid6 [11:53] is the way i think [11:54] two in mirror or 7 in raid is the safe way to go [11:54] running 50% waste in raid1 is just too much to sacrifice imo. compared to the cleanliness you get in raid1 [11:55] 7 in raid? 3+2 is raid6 ? [11:56] 7 is old school [11:57] 7 1 tb drives gives you a 1 tb drive if one fails just replace it will replicate [11:59] I'm re-tagging arey CD I rip, as although RubyRipper is the best ripper, it sucks so bad at tagging, anyways, I'm trying to tag 80 files as 'Trance Nation - The Collection (MOS)', but they keep tagging as 'Trance Nation', why!?! [11:59] Hi I'm having some issues with my video drivers, but can't seem to find a solution. When I installed ubuntu 12.10 it would load to desktop, but not show unity and so - just the wallpaper. Now when I removed fglrx and it works - any idea in what direction I should look? [12:00] - and* [12:00] <16SAAK2LL> Dulcin: What hardware do u use? [12:00] I have an ATI video card [12:00] every* [12:00] the exact one slipped my mind, one sec, ill check [12:00] I had a problem with my nvidia drivers that I needed to install the linux-headers first [12:00] hi, my laptop(dell inspiron 1420) has display problem, can anyone please help with right drivers? http://askubuntu.com/questions/221568/which-graphics-driver-will-solve-my-laptop-screen-display-problem [12:01] I installed linux-headers through a tutorial, but that didn't seem to help [12:01] Sietsem: That would be because they are compiled at install. I don't think the ATI-drivers need compiling during the installation. [12:01] <16SAAK2LL> Sietsem: Yeah, if there is none available for ur kernel you will have to let them built by the installer [12:01] Hm, okey [12:02] I'm re-tagging every CD I rip, as although RubyRipper is the best ripper, it sucks so bad at tagging, anyways, I'm trying to tag 80 files as 'Trance Nation - The Collection (MOS)', but they keep tagging as 'Trance Nation', why!?! [12:03] vjy, isn't your display broken? Does it work properly on for example windows? [12:03] use an _ instead of a - [12:03] quoexl: but I've used '-' so many times before without any problems! [12:04] I need to tag with EasyTag only, but when I try Rhthmbox's built-in tagging, it works.

[12:06] NP ;) [12:06] !!bye for now!! [12:06] kutu: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:07] 16SAAK2LL, ok so I have an ATI HD 4870 [12:07] kutu: System > Preferernces > Keyboard [12:07] well, he gone [12:08] kutu: System > Preferernces > Keyboard [12:08] is usually for Ubuntu [12:09] ;D [12:09] how do I switch from amd64 firefox to ix86 firefox ? [12:09] amd64 firefox has no real advantages, except for being a memory hog.. [12:10] RJ45-Q: Can you suggest me some good HTML books? [12:10] 64 ff uses twice the amount of memory x86 uses [12:10] kutu_: ooh, not that is a good question [12:10] now* [12:10] <16SAAK2LL> Dulcin: I am not that familiar with ATI GPUs, anyway, which driver did u use? [12:11] kutu_: I know several PDFs, but not HTML :( [12:11] RJ45-Q:please send me one. [12:11] kutu_ it's not really a book, but this may be useful http://echoecho.com/html.htm [12:12] kutu_: there might be a PDF to HTML converter in existence, but I couldn't imagine it working very well, considering the big transition in format capabilities. [12:12] kutu_: heheh, well all my PDFs are... well, I can't say here or I'll get v&. [12:13] :P [12:13] Thanks MonkeyDust.@RJ45-Q I asked for HTML learning book [12:14] kutu_: I have a PDF that teaches of the Linux Command Line, it's so old it's irrelevant now, and it's about a thousand pages long and difficult to understand! :D [12:15] 16SAAK2LL, well the default ubuntu drivers, but those did not seem to work properly after installing ubuntu 12.10 [12:15] 16SAAK2LL, I tried installing the ATI drivers but failed at doing so, I'm giving it another go right now, see if it works [12:16] RJ45-Q:youre understanding wrong. I want an ebook to learn web designing,not Linux!! :) [12:16] kutu_: ah [12:16] <16SAAK2LL> Dulcin: alright, if it fails, please deliver details about how [12:17] so if know of one please tell me. [12:17] kutu_: here's an interesting one though, one day I was typing in loadsa crazy stuff in Google, and I stumbled across a slightly hidden away FBI doc! :D [12:18] I think it had stuff 'bout the psychology of the Occupy Protests, and how they use it to their advantage. [12:18] I shoulda probably notified Wikileaks, but i was lazy, and still am. [12:18] :Anyway I'll try the site MonkeyDust. [12:18] Bye [12:19] c'ya [12:22] Hi. I'm using 12.04 and my DVD drive isn't working. It ejects fine just doesn't seem to do anything (it worked when I had windows), any ideas? I've googled but most problems are only for when a DVD video isn't working, etc. [12:23] <16SAAK2LL> bampersand: is it a SATA drive? [12:23] 16SAAK2LL: I'm not sure [12:23] I'll check [12:23] if it is what's the solution? [12:24] Sietsem: yes, my display was not proper when it was with windows vista. it was broken after installing nvidia graphics driver. I thought I could fix this by installing a new OS, but still I am not able to fix this issue [12:25] <16SAAK2LL> bampersand: well, that is not too easy to say without any information. Does the drive appear during startup (BIOS)? === Albastos|off is now known as Albastos [12:26] hey, i wonder what the current situation of TRIM activated partitions in ubuntu 12.10 / upcoming 13.04 is? [12:27] in 12.04 i had to use a discard option to my harddrive partition. is this something that i'll have to do in 12.10 and probly 13.04? [12:27] I have some problems with the ath9k driver [12:28] espnu: its too way early to say for sure [12:28] way too early i mean [12:28] wifi keeps disconnecting if I move a few meters away from the router [12:28] hmm ok [12:28] other devices can use the router normally === Youri is now known as YBook [12:29] its ubuntu 12.10 on an acer aspire 4250 connecting to a tkip aes wpa personal g-only access point [12:29] espnu: also any questions about 13.04 join #ubuntu+1 [12:30] Sietsem: interestingly I am not able to capture this issue by print-screen. I have to take a photo to show this display problem [12:30] vjy, Maybe your screen just broke in the process [12:30] vjy, if you open your BIOS, do you see the problem too? [12:31] Sietsem:yes, yes initially it is all green [12:31] vjy: did you try something like sudo apt-get install scrot ; sleep 5 ; scrot [12:31] vjy, then your laptop screen might be broken :/ But have to go to a birthday, bye [12:31] what are the reasons an installer would keep on loading? [12:32] that gives you 5 seconds to get screen ready [12:32] Sietsem: bye [12:32] ~-~ been happening to me, it works on my dell but the installer wont install on my vaio [12:33] xylon, i think some specific hardware issue ... [12:33] gnomefreak: scrot for screenshot ? [12:33] vjy: yes [12:34] gnomefreak: even if I take screen shot, I have to send it my mail and check from my phone to verify this is ok :) [12:34] blackshirt: Well there oughta be methods to determine that right? something that would work? [12:34] yo where to find other apt deb sources [12:34] how should i make the installation work? [12:34] gnomefreak: I have photos of my screen [12:34] oh ok [12:35] xmb: not sure what you mean. did you check in our repos? [12:35] https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B3mtVkJlDxvKZFQtU3RLT1AwRUU [12:35] 16SAAK2LL, it's a sata dvd drive [12:36] https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B3mtVkJlDxvKVUw2SFR0UHJGZ2c [12:36] i dunno where, im new to ubuntu ... i need for example ' erlang-ex ' and it isnt in 12.10 [12:36] <16SAAK2LL> bampersand: does it appear at startup? is it activated in BIOS setup? [12:37] apt-get .. , and , is there some unstable / experimental /etc/apt/sources.list entries for ubuntu like on debian too ? [12:37] i'll have to check, i'd assume so. it worked fine with windows. [12:37] xmb: you woul dhave to look on the web but going outside our repos means we dont really support them [12:37] gnomefreak: did you check images ? [12:37] bampersand: you can not compair linux -> windows [12:38] i cant spell today damn [12:38] compare [12:38] where can i get a list of possible ssources ? [12:38] 16SAAK2LL, apparently there's a nice wiki here http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Quantal_Installation_Guide which I followed and seemed to work nicely. Hopefully it did what it said it would do :) [12:38] xmb: software center if you are looking in our repos [12:39] labas [12:39] aha [12:39] yet i installed ubuntu recently and only used cmd apt-get [12:40] xmb: you can use apt-cache search packagename [12:40] <16SAAK2LL> Dulcin: I am not sure why they used the way to build some package, I think u can simple stop xserver and just execute the run-file [12:40] xmb first do apt-get update [12:40] hai gnomefreak [12:40] i know to use apt, but erlang-wx pkg isnt in it [12:40] i need more sources.list entries [12:40] xmb, no [12:40] <16SAAK2LL> Dulcin: u can get latest driver version from here: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/legacy/Pages/legacy-radeon_linux.aspx [12:41] xmb: search using google or whatever you use but be warned we will not support it [12:41] hello [12:41] !rootirc | Deadmau5 [12:41] Deadmau5: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm).

[12:44] gnomefreak: no, I want to fix my display problem [12:45] <16SAAK2LL> make sure the drive appears under the section of SATA devices [12:45] vjy: than the people that told you it could be screen or hardware are most likely correct [12:45] I can't find anything about sata, only ide [12:45] <[twisti]> is there an easy way to tell a ubuntu (server 12.04) something like "install all packages that this other ubuntu server 12.04 install has installed" ? [12:45] <16SAAK2LL> bampersand: can u tell me what ur bios is? [12:46] brb [12:46] gnomefreak: display was broken after a nvidia graphics driver upgrade, I thing I did something to drivers that come with motherboard [12:46] 'cmos setup utility - copyright (c) 1984-2008 award software' is what it says at the top, i'll try and find some help. [12:47] my ath9k keeps dropping the connection, any k nows bugs with this driver?

[12:47] [twisti]: you can use dpkg --get-selections/--set-selections to do it [12:47] MonkeyDust, okay let me boot back into ubu. [12:48] hi, i am having difficulties installing ubuntu. [12:48] I am trying to dual boot with Windows 7 (which is already installed) and install ubuntu on a separate partition on the same drive, however when I go to install ubuntu, in the partitions list it does not show me the 30 GB partition I created for ubuntu using windows 7 disk management tools. Any workarounds? [12:48] Hi, I have a .PO file and I want to use that specific file with the application? For testing purposes.. [12:48] hello [12:48] Somebody speak lang from Malaysia pls ?

[12:52] formatting a USB stick on a win7 laptop to create an install 'disk' for Ubuntu on a netbook, which file system is recommended? [12:52] <16SAAK2LL> bampersand: plase run in termianl as root: sg_map -i [12:52] <16SAAK2LL> bampersand: if not installed, run apt-get install sg3-utils before (as root, too) [12:52] wildc4rd: ntfs [12:53] ta [12:53] <[twisti]> SolarisBoy: thanks, ill try that [12:53] Johnsoma: Can you try this command in a console? "sudo apt-get --configure -a" The tries to finish a unfinished previous update job [12:53] [twisti]: sure yw [12:53] 16SAAK2LL, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1385132/ [12:54] <16SAAK2LL> bampersand: so it is recognized by the OS [12:54] minimec it says "E: Command line option --configure is not understood " === alin|mobile is now known as alinmear [12:54] 16SAAK2LL, it opens/ejects fine too. I wonder what the problem is. [12:55] I put a CD/DVD in and the light on the front just flashes, it makes noises but never (seems) to do anything. [12:55] Johnsoma: You're right. Damn I don't remember the command correctly... Let think a moment ... ;) [12:55] <16SAAK2LL> bampersand: that is what it would do when it was not connected by SATA, too, or did you open/close the tray by using OS functionality or by pressing th ebutton on the drive? [12:55] I pressed the button on the front [12:56] `eject` works too [12:56] howdy all [12:57] hi, i need to disable the screen keyboard at login screen [12:57] minimec i think its dpkg –configure -a [12:58] <16SAAK2LL> bampersand: so please start "dmesg | tail" and put in a CD/DVD and post the output [12:58] Johnsoma: ;) definitly... ;) [12:58] Johnsoma: Did it do something?

[12:59] help please [12:59] i need to disable the keyboard at login acreen, but onboard settings and dconf dont do that [12:59] <[twisti]> i did sudo dpkg --set-selections how to open a pdf file in terminal [12:59] hey [12:59] <[twisti]> and packages.txt is a text file with the output of the other system [12:59] no in terminal with terminal command [12:59] <[twisti]> was that wrong ? [12:59] you would need to as well run 'sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade [12:59] <16SAAK2LL> bampersand. u inserted a disk? [13:00] yep. [13:00] Johnsoma: ok. let's make it simple. Do 'sudo apt-get update', then 'sudo apt-get upgrade'. If there is some unfinished job, there will be an output, indicating, what to do next. [13:00] ok [13:00] <[twisti]> ah ok, thanks, its doing it now [13:01] <[twisti]> 496 newly installed :D [13:01] 16SAAK2LL, when the disc is inserted the dvd reader led flashes [13:01] that's the only thing that seems to be happening. [13:01] [twisti]: np =) [13:02] minimec i think my sourcelist might be messed up [13:02] i want to make a new one using generating sourcelists but i dnt know how really. [13:02] <16SAAK2LL> bampersand: but we talk about the first drive here, right? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1385132/ [13:02] should i just click all on ubuntu branches and updates and etc? [13:02] 16SAAK2LL, yeah. [13:04] Johnsoma: Ok. You can create another one with this link http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ [13:04] I cant get the buttons to change following the directions [13:05] <16SAAK2LL> bampersand: I am slowly out of idea, sometimes there seem to be problems when drives are set as slaves and not masters (see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1950008 ), but I am not sure about that issue; so I am sorry, but I guess I cannot really help you. [13:05] minimec yeah im on there i just wantt o know do i click all things? like in update and every other field? [13:05] Johnsoma: Also 'sudo mv /etc/apt//sources.list.d /etc/apt/sources.list.d.old'. That's the folder, where your ppa are configured. [13:05] 16SAAK2LL, okay thanks for your help. [13:06] i accidentally changed the permission on /var. please tell me whats the default permission of /var and all its subfolders? [13:06] 12.10 using the config editor and editing the key and it still doesnt move over?? it is a new install of the system [13:07] Abhijit: what did you execute? [13:07] minimec so do i just click everything on the surce list generator? [13:07] Johnsoma: I would take "main,restricted,universe, multiverse, Security-updates, recommended updates, partner repo(for skype)" [13:07] and thats it? [13:08] Abhijit: you could take a look at an ubuntu core image for permissions [13:08] jrib1, chmod -R 777 /var [13:08] Abhijit: reinstall [13:09] minimec so only do those 5 and no other ones and my sourcelist will be fixe? [13:09] Johnsoma: That will give you all you basically need. You can always modify the list afterwards. Maybe just moving the 'sources.list.d' folder will do, as normally an untouched sources.list file will not break... [13:09] Abhijit: never ever use -R 777 [13:09] jrib1, :-o cant i just chmod -R 644 or something? [13:09] :o [13:09] Abhijit: No. [13:09] bekks, why? [13:09] ok thanks [13:09] Abhijit: Since there are hundreds of file in there, with different permissions. [13:09] i dont really understand what a source list is [13:09] but there is nothing in my /var [13:09] Abhijit: you can't know what the original permissions were. You would need some reference. It's much faster to just reinstall [13:09] Abhijit: then you have more problems [13:10] Abhijit: Having an empty /var means you have a broken system. [13:10] Johnsoma: It is the list with all the links to the software repositories. [13:10] jrib1, i mean the defautl permission? the one when we install fresh ubuntu? [13:10] Abhijit: That wont help you, since your /var is empty. [13:10] ok [13:11] Would anyone know what I have to tell apt on an ubuntu-core 12.04 image to add cross compilation packages (e.g. gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf) ? [13:11] exit [13:11] How do you disable the keyboard and mouse in Ubuntu? [13:11] minimec is it bad if i just include everything? [13:11] just to be on the safe side [13:11] Johnsoma: Now... added repositories are not added to that list anymore (it used to be like that some time ago), but in that 'sources.list.d' folder, I mentioned before. So the sources.list is the ubuntu default after installation. [13:11] How do you disable the keyboard and mouse in Ubuntu? [13:12] hello. h [13:12] skeils: After doing it, how would you enable them again? :) [13:12] shortcut ke [13:12] skeils: With a disabled keyboard? [13:12] minimec because i have many of the programs listed in there if i dont click them they wont fail to work or update? [13:12] they have a wiundows program. you hit enter two times and it enables it again [13:12] windows has a few programs. does linux? [13:13] how do i disable linux keyboared [13:13] Johnsoma: I would not(!) add 'Proposed - Pre-released Updates' and 'Backports - Unsupported Updates' [13:13] minmec: how do i disable my keyboard on linux? [13:13] skeils: By pulling the cable. I've never heard of someone disabling the keyboard by intent. === fisted_ is now known as fisted [13:13] i have a notebook [13:13] !patience | skeils [13:13] skeils: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [13:13] you can disable the keyboard in xorg.conf afaik [13:14] ok thank you [13:14] SolarisBoy: And you have no chance to use it again without restarting X. [13:14] windows you can hit enter two times to disable and two time to enable the keyboard [13:14] Johnsoma: Compare your current sources.list with the one you create now. If you were basically happy with the original one, start with that... [13:14] $ ./craftbukkit.sh [13:14] -sh: 38: ./craftbukkit.sh: not found sadface :( [13:14] he said he wants it disabled right? [13:14] disable it yes [13:14] i chmod +x'd it [13:14] k so there you go [13:14] SolarisBoy: And he wants it to be enabled by a shortcut again. [13:14] ok thank you very much [13:14] i just dont how or understand it so its hard to know whats right and whats wrong. [13:14] skeils: Thats what he said, too. [13:15] ok :) [13:15] bekks: thank you [13:15] is my error permission based? [13:15] buxville? [13:15] minimec so i shouldnt add the programs that i recognize on here? [13:16] hi, i'm having trouble importing mp4 files in shotwell. It causes shotwell to freeze. Is this a known problem? Maybe with a fix [13:16] ? [13:17] shotwell plays videos? [13:17] How can I saerch for apt packages? [13:17] jokke: everything causes shotwell to freeze [13:17] !java [13:17] To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [13:17] disharmonic: at least it should import them [13:17] vicium: apt-cache search packagename [13:17] Johnsoma: It's basically a list of links. You can always add some entries afterwards. Start 'small', and again maybe first try to move the 'sources.list.d' folder and do 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade'. Maybe some stuff you added in the software sources manager was wrong. [13:17] gordonjcp: aalternatives? [13:17] bekks: we disable the mouse like that on some kiosk panoramic video systems [13:18] fspot has mono dependencies [13:18] http://code.google.com/p/liquid-galaxy/source/browse/gnu_linux/etc/X11/xorg.conf?r=9c5a34e96a15d9c2ea1a54e94b73d8ff88e57c9a [13:18] jokke: I use mv, cp and gqview [13:18] :P [13:18] what about tags [13:18] whats the code to open sourcelist agian? [13:18] Johnsoma: the command would be "sudo mv /etc/apt//sources.list.d /etc/apt/sources.list.d.old" [13:18] sudo gtsk? [13:18] I'd love to get rid of the big stupid "open in shotwell" bar whenever I browse my camera in nautilus [13:18] SolarisBoy: And you cant enable them again without restarting X. Which is not always wanted - except on a kiosk system. [13:18] How can I run an application in Enlgish even my Ubuntu is using Arabic language? [13:18] gordonjcp: uninstall shotwell? [13:19] jokke: nope, it still leaves the bar in nautilus [13:19] when i enter that minimec it states: mv: cannot stat `/etc/apt//sources.list.d': No such file or directory [13:19] heh [13:19] gordonjcp: wtf.. [13:19] jokke: digikam [13:19] Johnsoma: the command would be "sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d /etc/apt/sources.list.d.old" [13:19] Johnsoma: There was a '/' too much [13:19] hey, so have a weird issue with a remote host. I have inbound SSH access just fine but I cannot get any outbound internet access [13:20] Nog nederlanders hier? [13:20] bekks: yeah, digikam is awesome, but it's a little TOO packed with features for my needs, and besides i'd like a gnome application [13:20] !nl | bas85 [13:20] bas85: Nederlandstalige ondersteuning voor Ubuntu (en vers gezette koffie) is te vinden in #ubuntu-nl [13:20] i just reset everything to drwxr-wr-x [13:20] God damnit, I cant figure out why I cant run a .sh file.

Install digikam only. [13:22] was just thinking about that :d let me try [13:22] Johnsoma: Ok. So you don't seem to have that folder. What is 'ls /etc/apt' showing you? blue color should indicate the foldeers. [13:22] bekks, there were content inside var. i thought you are asking abour docuemnt root content for web server. [13:22] Yup....... [13:22] @viciium you can start java application with the java -jar command [13:22] Can I change from bash? [13:22] vicium, sounds like you're running plain sh instead of bash [13:22] Aha ok [13:22] jokke: And since there is no sane, comparable solution like digikam in gnome - thats the best choice then.

Do you have a backup? [13:24] minimec one second please. [13:24] bekks, yes i have backup [13:24] Abhijit: public webserver root in /home is - no good idea. [13:25] :-( === milanoa is now known as noltot [13:25] Abhijit: Just grab your backup of /var then and repair your messed up box. [13:25] bekks, it all started when i need to change permission on /magento/var and i was inside magento so i typed /var instead of var/ [13:25] bekks, no i dont have that kind of backup. only backup of data [13:25] were you root? [13:25] yes [13:26] with sudo [13:26] Abhijit: So you have no backup of your production machine. Set it up again. [13:26] okey. :'-( [13:26] ssweet thanks minimec my update is nwo actually updating [13:26] do you have another machine you can fix perms from? like compare the toplevel dirs? [13:26] no [13:27] o womp womp [13:27] Johnsoma: Happy for you. Do you know where the problem was? [13:27] minimec no idea... lol i had a lot of 408 errors [13:27] Not sure if its allowed but i'll ask again, I'm not sure howto phrase myselves when googling it, I want to "minimize" a screen (the screen package, not an actual physical screen) & return to console [13:27] ctrl+c shuts the screen app down [13:27] vicium: gnu screen? [13:27] cái này cũng hay :)) [13:28] minimec so should i create a new sourcelist and add in all the programs i have? so they update too or will it somehow do it by itself? [13:28] Johnsoma: So the server was not reachable... [13:28] I'm not sure SolarisBoy actually... maybe this can help you identify it "screen java -Xms2048M" [13:28] its the partial of my .sh file [13:28] s.a [13:28] KaRdesLerým [13:28] yes gnu screen [13:28] ai là ng Viet Nam nào :)) [13:28] meRhabaLar [13:29] :D [13:29] naber lan [13:29] turkler [13:29] Tam[1]Manyak: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

Installed size is 522 Mb.. Shotwell is what, 2 MB download and maybe 10 installed.. [13:33] kênh đó lạnh như cái chùa [13:33] Hi all. I have a question about mounting NTFS partitions: I can do it from the gui without further password-requests as admin-user, but not as a regular userin 12.04. What group do I have to assign to the user to enable him mounting NTFS partitions? [13:34] jokke: Do you have a very smal hard disk? Like 1GB? hard disk space is about 20 cents per gigabyte currently. [13:34] k1l http://paste.ubuntu.com/1385234/ [13:34] Or even less. [13:34] hfef: don't think you need to change the group, just the user permissions ... [13:34] Johnsoma: that looks good. every is updated on aour 12.04 [13:35] yeah but what about other programs i have? like gimp etc? are they still goign to update even though i didnt add them into sourcelist? [13:35] hfef: see advanced settings / user privileges [13:36] Johnsoma: gimp is part of the main repo [13:36] Johnsoma: They are part of the ubuntu main/universe/multiverse repository... They will be updated. [13:36] bekks: yeah i have a 256Gig ssd. :P Also i'm currently online using gprs at roughly 7kB/s.. So 131 Mb is alot.. :P [13:36] ohh sweet thanks so much for the help you guys. [13:36] Johnsoma: so you dont have to put an entry for every program, the entry a repositires [13:36] Johnsoma: if you installed them out of the official ubuntu repositories they get updated with security patches [13:36] i get it. [13:37] Johnsoma: most programs dont get upgraded to a new version like frm version 2,4 to 3.0 within a ubuntu release. that comes mostly with a new ubuntu release. [13:37] cfhowlett: thanks, where can I find advanced settings/user privileges? do i need to install the gnome system tools? [13:37] Johnsoma: exceptions are webbrowsers. they get upgraded direct from ubuntu [13:37] you guys think i shuld update from 12.04 to the newest one or does it matter? [13:37] jokke: The harddisk is about... 2000 times larger than what you want to download. The only reason _could_ be yourdownload speed. And still, digikam would be worth it. [13:37] But wouldn't that only assign a group (with the respective privileges) to the user? [13:38] Johnsoma: that depends on if you want a stable release or a release with the newer programs [13:38] hehe yeah i get you. I know my hard disk is large enough.

[14:05] Farside_ftw: Log in to the gui, and setup a systemwide network connection in the network manager. [14:05] Here is a screenshot: http://imagebin.org/237141 [14:06] bekks: Well that's the problem, the GUI won't load. As stated, I'm thrown into a shell when booting from USB. [14:06] hi [14:06] does ubuntu support bumblebee or nvidia optimus? [14:06] Farside_ftw: Do you have sufficient space left on your USB stick? [14:06] Plenty. [14:07] krz: not officially [14:07] bekks: It's a 16gb USB with about 11-12gb left over. [14:07] Farside_ftw, load into recovery, remove quiet splash in grub and see where it chokes, most likely unable to mount root partition [14:07] krz: bumblebee isfor nvidia optimus. and you can install it using ubuntu. [14:07] dcherniv: I believe that's the problem... What I can remember-- it said something about mounting /root [14:09] hi, got an urgent problem. Linuxdcpp moved my downloads directory into another folder, I tried moving it back but nautilus just hanged during the transfer. I don't want to lose my files, would killing nautilus and restarting it be safe? [14:09] dcherniv: I think the underlying issue is a read/write issue for the mounting point... but not exactly sure. [14:09] delac: Ok. 12.10 proposed the 'wl' driver and you intalled it. If you want to use the 'b43' dirver, you probably might want to block the 'wl' driver in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [14:10] Farside_ftw, nah most likely something to do with /dev/ name for the flash in ubuntu [14:10] I'm thinking of getting an origin sly pro http://www.originpc.com/Laptops/Professional/EON17-SLX-Pro/?TAB=FEATURES&ACTIVE=TRUE&SYSTEMID=19 and planning on dual booting / using ubuntu linux 95% of the time. you think there may be any hardware incompatibilities? [14:10] Farside_ftw, see what exactly it says [14:10] sly=slx [14:10] How do i delete all files ending with .txt in a folder ? [14:11] dcherniv: *Sigh* That's what I don't want to do... But, I'll be back with your answer, bud. Thanks! [14:11] I think I made a really big mistake upgrading from 12.04 LTS. [14:12] krz: Looks like a gaming notebook. [14:12] ya [14:12] i code [14:12] krz: coding is not gaming. [14:12] web development (ruby on rails). but plan on dual booting to windows for the occasional game [14:13] am currently coming from osx [14:14] krz: I'd buy a reasonable HP business laptop instead a gaming laptop "for the occasional game". [14:14] sdfasdf: (backup first to prevent unwanted deletions, but) 'rm /path/to/folder/*.txt' [14:14] bekks: why have two laptops when you can have one [14:15] krz: Who said two? [14:15] krz: I said "reasonable HP business laptop". [14:15] bekks: and for work? [14:15] krz: "reasonable HP business laptop". [14:16] krz: looks like that model forces you to use raid [14:16] ThinkT510: any problems with raid support? [14:17] ThinkT510 http://www.originpc.com/Configurator/l/l2.aspx?SYSTEMID=19 raid support is set to none, by default [14:17] krz: no idea, i've never used it but i've seen a few here with raid problems [14:18] usually they don't know how to configure it [14:18] I'm thinking of having a single SSD for storage. no raid config [14:18] good [14:18] and nvidia single dedicated 680m 4gb gpu [14:19] krz: i'd avoid multiple graphics cards too [14:19] hi, folder shared between 2 ubuntu PC is long, i set bcast as first position in smbd.conf, but still taking 5 to 10 minutes before working, any tips pls ? [14:21] ThinkT510: does bumblebee (or other) support optimus (battery saving) without any problems? http://www.nvidia.com/object/optimus_technology.html [14:21] krz: never used it, i'd definitely avoid optimus [14:21] does anyone have tips: I want to make a new polkit action (for mountin one of the ntfs partitions in my computer) [14:22] Does Ubuntu have anything similar to this: http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-live/connecting/win-computer [14:22] where should I place it [14:23] ThinkT510: my concern here is. its a hardware intensive laptop. so without some king of GPU energy management (optimus support), battery life can be significantly reduced if not plugged into an outlet [14:24] krz: this may be a better question for #hardware (imho) [14:24] krz: optimus is simply about switching from nvidia gpu to onboard intel (thus saving power) [14:25] krz: if you only have nvidia (without another onboard intel card) then you likely won't have optimus [14:26] hello [14:26] I would like to report a bug on a ubuntu's site [14:26] hello [14:26] ThinkT510: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-680m comes with optimus technology. so i think it has an onboard intel card [14:26] how can I do this?

[14:30] alo21 better state your blueman issue === g_byers[Away] is now known as g_byers [14:30] when i clone my screens the unity laucnher disappears [14:32] bekks: business hp laptop for gaming, won't go far in a few years [14:34] hi guys... precise has some issue, agreed? i get numerous 'something crashed, send report' whilst working desktop. i suspect it is some of the notification apps but often i cant tell [14:35] the worst thing i have come across is, how the evolution has suddenly been torn out from standard desktop install and replaced by the thunderbird mozilla client [14:35] mschr: apport should tell you what crashed [14:36] evolution suffers a great deal of issues, namingly importing preferences and mailboxes.. Ive worked my way through it and set it up, basically from scratch [14:36] but now - [14:36] I asked in ubuntu-motu and maybe they are fixing the problem [14:36] addressbook cannot perform write options :/ [14:37] i am going to have to leave ubuntu [14:37] it became garbage [14:37] mirak try something different from unity [14:38] if i import, say a .vcf contact it claims, cant write at times [14:38] MonkeyDust, yeah [14:38] mirak, what u plan to use [14:38] monkey like mate i guess [14:38] xmb, something that works [14:38] hmm [14:38] hi all [14:38] mirak: mate isn't supported here [14:39] mirak: why dont you try xfce, lxde etc? leaving ubuntu because of unity is really not necessary [14:39] mirak mate is a mint thingy [14:39] mirak: and just ranting in here wont help anyone [14:39] i just can't use vdpau without hardware acceleration, and I need composite to be disabled for it to work well, and if composite is disabled, canonical had the great idea to not support unity without composite [14:39] I've got a conky question - I have it set for ' own_window_type override ' but when conky execs, it overrides everything. If I open .conkyrc and comment that line out, save it, and uncomment it and reload conky, it will attach to desktop, and do exactly what I want it to. Can anyone tell me what's going on with my conky and how to fix it? [14:40] mirak it may be great for many other users, just not for you === asdas is now known as str0umf [14:40] k1l_, because i didn't asked for Gnome 2 to not be supported. I could tolerate unity but forcing us to use 3D acceleration is just mocking us. [14:40] ciao [14:40] MonkeyDust, no it's not because we don't get proper video acceleration [14:41] !list [14:41] DALKEYTH: No warez here!

If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [14:41] mirak: gnome2 flaming is the wrong adress here. better try the gnome guys [14:41] MonkeyDust, i don't see the point of making the distribution regressing [14:41] mirak message received, but this is not the right place [14:41] mirak: gnome devs stopped developing gnome2, hence it is no longer in the repos [14:41] MonkeyDust, but canonical would still have gone with unity even if gnome didn't went to gnome-shell [14:42] if it's not the right place then where is it ? [14:42] mirak: that is not true and not the right place to discuss this [14:42] i am looking for someone who is here regularly, very knowledgeable in unix commands, variations of unix / linux based OSs, that can help someone like me who knows nothing about it. ... [14:42] if you don't listen people who use the distribution what is the point ? [14:42] i have been a windows user since 1996 [14:42] mirak: unity is just a different shell to gnome-shell (both are built on gnome3) [14:42] I use ubuntu since Hoary, or Warthy i don't remember [14:43] mirak: that is a support channel. not a "but i want it this way and nothing else" demanding channel [14:43] mirak: this is a support channel, we don't develop ubuntu [14:43] i just bought a laptop with Windows 8 , aka Windows 7 RT aka Vista 8, i want to dump windows after this Windows 8 infringement on the User Friendly user. [14:43] ThinkT510, yes but how can you break video acceleration support and give no alternative other than using another desktop ? that's totally ridiculous. how do you expect people to follow in this conditions ? [14:44] JediAEL: Then just install Ubuntu. [14:44] i downloaded Virtualbox last night [14:44] mirak: you are addressing me as if i have a hand in developing ubuntu, i don't [14:44] ThinkT510, well then i am asking for support. How can i use clone screens with unity ? [14:44] mirak: its not working for you but other users. so stop beeing a kiddie flaming and file a bugreport on launchpad [14:44] JediAEL: You want to drop Windows, what do you want to do with vbox then? [14:45] the launcher just disappears, but it works on 12.04 (without 3d acceleration since i am not forced to use it) [14:45] JediAEL: Why would you use virtual box if you want windows gone? [14:45] bekks i have several older copies of Ubuntu on cd back in new york, where all my software, backup and 99% of my items are [14:45] JediAEL: try more distros, vbox is a good way [14:45] k1l_, it works for who ? [14:45] JediAEL: You dont need vbox for inserting a CD and just copy your data back. [14:45] JediAEL: Just download a new copy of Ubuntu? [14:45] mirak: For me, e.g. [14:45] well understand this, im only familiar with windows so far, i dont even know how to format this laptop hdd yet and i dont have any operating system OSs on the side thus far. [14:46] JediAEL: The Ubuntu startup disk will walk you through it with absolutely no problems. [14:46] JediAEL: Just insert the Ubuntu installation cd, reboot from CD, and follow the instructions on screen. [14:46] JediAEL: practicing in a vm is a great place to start [14:46] great problem is i dont have an Ubuntu disc here [14:47] JediAEL: You have to burn one. [14:47] bekks, what works for you ? [14:47] mirak: Unity. [14:47] bekks, how much efforts do you have to put in to make it work ? [14:47] bekks, did you upgraded or did a clean installation ? [14:47] JediAEL: So it seems that your fairly happy with Ubuntu in a VM, right? So what's the main question then? [14:47] mirak: 2 Minutes. I didnt like the terminal font. [14:47] i have a 12.04 install alongside windows (dual boot) i want to get rid of the windows partition and give ubuntu all of the harddrive space. Do i need a boot repair after i do so? [14:47] bekks is there a URL in which to download to a directory ? [14:47] JediAEL: ? [14:47] bekks, what graphic card do you use ? what is your xorg.conf ? [14:48] TheMadDrizzle i would like to start that way to ensure i HAVE an OS i can use, rather than a laptop i cannot use. [14:48] bekks, does it work with vdpau ? does it work in clone mode ? [14:48] JediAEL: First question would be. Will my laptop be 100% supported by ubuntu. I mean it's a brand new machine... I would test ubuntu on an USB stick on that machine. [14:48] mirak: I dont have a xorg.conf, I am using an Intel graphics card (and nvidia on another box). One box was upgraded, one box was a clean install. [14:48] JediAEL: I am 99% sure if your laptop is more than a year old it will work right out of the box. [14:48] mirak: What do you mean by "clone mode"? [14:49] its a new laptop === alinmear is now known as alin|mobile [14:49] JediAEL: If you have an NVIDIA card, you might have to specifiy extra drivers, but that may be about it. === dad is now known as Guest17694 [14:49] mirak if it's specifically a vdpau issue, you may want to report a !bug [14:50] mirak: Do you mean "clone one monitor to another"? If so, I do not waste my second monitor :) [14:50] JediAEL: So do you have a spare 4gb USB stick you can put an image onto? [14:50] im so noob to tech hardware / software terms, but i love writing html docs, and been a mIRC user since 1996, mirc helper for several years. [14:50] bekks, please just answer the question [14:50] JediAEL: I bring one to work with me and try to get people to try Ubuntu every chance I get [14:50] mirak: Please just clarify what you are asking. [14:50] bekks, i clone a tv and a monitor, your remark is not relevant [14:50] TheMadDrizzle ill look, i left mine in new york, maybe i can borrow my gf's if i can find it. [14:51] mirak: Well, then my answers arent relevant for you and I will save your from them. [14:51] bekks, i asked if your unity works in clone mode. [14:51] bekks, then don't pretend you are here to help [14:51] !attitude | mirak [14:51] mirak: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [14:51] mirak know when to stop [14:51] found a 16gb thumb drive, ill check to see how much room is spared [14:51] i have a 12.04 install alongside windows (dual boot) i want to get rid of the windows partition and give ubuntu all of the harddrive space. Do i need a boot repair after i do so? [14:52] mirak: you asked about clone mode, he wanted you to explain what you meant so he could answer your question [14:52] JediAEL: You will have to reformat it when using it as an installation media. [14:52] JediAEL: If at all possiable I would store that data elsewhere and use the whole disk instead of fucking with dual partitions on a stick [14:52] mirak: file a bug (or look if there is already one) on launchpad. that is the first adress [14:52] ThinkT510: Answers are irrelevant, as he stated. [14:52] <16SAAK2LL> D_Russ: What do you mean with boot repair? [14:53] ThinkT510, no he said something irrelevant like cloning monitor is useless. that's an irrelevant and irritating answer [14:53] JediAEL: Dont you have a CD/DVD drive in your laptop? [14:53] i hear u bekks, ill have to wait till she gets home then [14:53] mirak: what was he meant to think when you just say "clone mode"? [14:53] mirak: I said, it is useless to ME. Dont take things personal if you just dont like the answer. [14:53] 16saak2ll: the instructions i found online says that i should remove the windows partition using a live cd and that after i do so i might need to reinstall grub2 === mrenouf is now known as mrenouf|away [14:54] when i remove the printer progrome, It tells me the ubuntu desktop would be removed too, why? [14:54] yes i have a cd burner, havent used it, still dont know what software it will use. [14:54] bekks, if it's irrelevant to you then why you don't keep that for yourself ? [14:54] D_Russ: I wouldent think removeing windows partions would break grub. Unless you also resize the linux partions [14:54] <16SAAK2LL> D_Russ: do you plan to enlarge ur ubuntu partition or do you want to use it as a data partition? [14:54] D_Russ: if the uuid of your partions change. that can cause issues. some gparted operations can change the UUID [14:55] mirak: Then please dont hilight me and dont tell lies about what I said. Dont mix it up with what you understood. And now lets move on. [14:55] D_Russ: After having deleted the Windows partition, I would do 'sudo update-grub' before rebooting the computer. The bootloader will see, that the window install is gone and regenereate a bootlist whitout windows. [14:55] mirak: since you are not acceptable sind the first sentence in here. will you only make further trouble? then leave please [14:55] ThinkT510, monitor in clone mode is monitor in clone mode [14:55] D_Russ: but even then, that boot-repair tool should be able to fix it all [14:55] i plan to expand ubuntu [14:55] i heard my friend reading off reviews of WIn8 calling it Vista 8 saying that Win 8 causes conflicts in double booting with alternative OSs or something on that order === mrenouf|away is now known as mrenouf [14:55] D_Russ: id have a live cd/boot-repair live cd handy just in case. [14:55] JediAEL: Just download an Ubuntu CD and burn it with one of the zillion burning applications in windows.

[15:08] i will kill myself [15:08] Farside_ftw: Yes. [15:08] i hate ubuntu [15:08] gentoo is the best [15:08] makillo: please keep this channel clean for support [15:08] makillo: we only deal with support here [15:09] bekks: Is there anything I should do to prep the USB for boot? (Outside of configuring BIOS) [15:09] I just made my pendrive a Live USB, all is ok, I boot in from bios, I watch a window with some logos at the down center of the screen, and then I see the kernel going down quicly, until my keyboard, mouse (and other things) switch on. Then, nothing happens [15:09] Farside_ftw: Normally, you dontr have to. [15:09] sorry it was my friend [15:09] Only I have is a kernel screen, like frozen [15:09] !nomodeset | boatman [15:09] boatman: 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 [15:10] bekks: Well, I have been having issues all day. Windows effectively destroyed my FS on my 16GB flash drive, so I have to reinstall it. It's a bit of a hassle to get anything to go. However, should I be able to reinstall Ubuntu on my flash drive and run into the same issue where it throws me into insmodsh, how do I get out of there and boot to the Ubuntu OS? [15:11] Thanks ubottu, I already do this, but now, after the install, when I boot Ubuntu, all I get is some weird lines all over my screen, like a graphic error [15:11] Farside_ftw: I completely did not understood the second part. Yes, you can install Ubuntu on an USB stick. === Youri is now known as YBook [15:12] boatman: ubottu is a factoid robot.. not a person. ;) [15:12] bekks: To address the second part: I had installed usblive --> usb.. When trying to boot, the splash would load and crash. I would be thrown into the insmodsh with very little to work with. [15:13] <16SAAK2LL> ! [15:13] bekks: What I'm trying to do is to get around that into the actual OS. [15:13] lol, sorry, I'm a noob here, just starting on gnu/linux [15:13] Dr_Willis: :D [15:13] boatman: dont worry what the problem? [15:14] Farside_ftw: Get around what? [15:14] Farside_ftw: What do you mean by "insmodsh"? [15:14] bekks: being thrown into that shell. I'd just like to be able to complete the boot :) [15:14] bekks: Give me 1 sec, let me show you... [15:15] Farside_ftw: Did you use nomodeset yet? [15:15] I don't get to start ubuntu after installation in nomodeset mode, all I get are some weird lines all over the screen, like and old NES game when it was badly insert on the console [15:15] boatman: whats your video chipset/card? [15:16] I have a Nvidia GTX 560ti 448c [15:16] bekks: I have no idea what that is. [15:16] bekks: When trying to google it, all I see are Perl references. [15:16] boatman: if the system booted once using the nomodeset option, then you CAN use the nomodeset option again to get to a workable desktop on the installed system. THen install the proper nvidia drivers. [15:16] bekks: But looks to be about right. I have the basic Linux cmds at my disposal when in the shell. [15:17] boatman: or you could just try installing the package 'nvidia-current' from the shell if you can [15:17] bekks: However, I'm still unable to fully boot to the GUI. [15:17] how can I do that, dr_willis? I only booted the system in nomodeset when I was on the live cd, at the installation [15:17] bekks: Do you suggest I try intalling just the 32bit version of Ubuntu? [15:17] !nomodeset | Farside_ftw [15:17] Farside_ftw: 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 [15:18] Farside_ftw: I am not suggesting 32bit installations for 15 years now :) [15:18] bekks: Thanks :D [15:18] boatman: i belive the nomodeset wiki page tells you. You basically hit 'e' at the grub menu and add in the nomodeset option btween the 'quiet splash' options. :) ie: 'quiet nomodeset splash' or use 'noquiet nosplash nomodeset' perhaps [15:18] boatman: that will use nomodeset for that SINGLE boot [15:18] Hi can anny 1 help me? [15:19] bekks: I'm not sure nomodeset is required, as I'm able to boot to the live disk. [15:19] What's best, windows 7 or ubuntu?

[15:49] johannes__: No. [15:49] johannes__: Dualbooting is like choosing wether you want to boot Linux or Windows. [15:50] it's having both at the same time [15:50] and being able to choose between them [15:50] So i cannot like run linux and then install a game from windows [15:50] im a quit [15:50] On the linux bot [15:51] !appdb | johannes__ [15:51] johannes__: Correct.

I have the manager and everything installed but it says I need to have all this running. Anybody know what I need to do? [15:51] johannes__: dont like windows, like ubuntu :) [15:53] johannes__: In my experiences they run slower, look worse (There's no DX), and I find it generally not worth it. I think it's best to run naitive Windows apps that use that amount of technology and resources on Windows. [15:54] Is the libvirt-bin service the same as libvirtd? [15:54] hey there, [15:56] DeltaHeavy, I just install qemu-kvm and virt-manager, and its done [15:56] you have to add yourself to the libvirtd group [15:56] Hello everyone; Is there a multiple code that I can upload & upgrade & then autoclean and autoremove the unused temp files via terminal? possible to create a comb in a single line? [15:56] compdoc: I already installed both of those and I'm still getting errors like "KVM not available". I started the program with gksu. [15:56] qemu?? wht not virtualbox? [15:56] JemSoft: Because I want to use qemu === k1l_ is now known as k1l [15:57] interesting, I installed it yesterday... but I uninstall it the same day. [15:57] DeltaHeavy, there is no need to start it. How did you install it? [15:57] if you have a manual or any tutorial, could you please share it? [15:58] JemSoft: manual or tutorial for what? [15:58] for the record, virtualbox is excellent [15:58] mschr: different programs for different needs [15:58] he left [15:58] ah [15:58] imo vmware > virtualbox [15:58] :p [15:58] Wolseinstein: http://askubuntu.com/questions/20783/how-is-the-tmp-directory-cleaned-up [15:59] compdoc: I'm not 100% sure what packages I installed but I recall installing at least the 2 you've mentioned [15:59] slackin: couldn't convince them to open-source could you?

This may mean the KVM package is not installed, or the KVM kernel modules are not loaded. Your virtual machines may perform poorly."

For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM [16:00] yeats, yea, same here honestly, kvm on my server too [16:00] DeltaHeavy: sharing that for the link [16:00] DeltaHeavy, ooh - maybe your hardware does not support kvm [16:00] Dr_Willis: Hey, I'm on Ubuntu nomodeset now [16:00] only reason i use vmware is because of video games, they run better in vmware than virtualbox [16:00] DeltaHeavy: specifically https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Installation === Evil_Eric is now known as Anti-Free-OS [16:01] qemu-kvm is better to run an OS 24/7. I use it for servers [16:01] compdoc: It's all really new hardware. Only reason I'm on Ubuntu is because my distro of choice doesn't support my hardware. Since it's so new (3rd gen i5, sabertooth z77 mobo) would that mean it supports it for sure? I've ran virtualization under vbox on Windows and it worked fine. [16:01] DeltaHeavy: read the instructions at the link I just shared [16:01] yeats: Thanks for the link [16:01] Anyone could help me? I'm on Ubuntu nomodeset, trying to install my nvidia drivers, but when I go to adittional drivers I get an error [16:01] DeltaHeavy, go into the bios and enable VT-d, or whatever Intel calls it [16:02] boatman: can you share the error? [16:02] Dr_Willis, I guess I state my question in a wrong way. I wonder if it's possible to write a multiple command like sudo apt-get update & upgrade & autoclean & autoremove etc... [16:02] Wolseinstein: that would be a rather simple bash script. === Anti-Free-OS is now known as anti-non-free-OS [16:03] yeats: well... in details talks about jockey-gtk 0.9.7-0ubuntu7.1, a crash problem type === gerard-majax_ is now known as lissyx [16:04] compdoc: If 'egrep -c '(vxm|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo isn't returning 0 (it's returning 4) would that option have to already be enabled? [16:04] boatman: jockey-gtk is no longer in 12.10 its in a tab under the 'software-sources' tool. OR try installing the nvidia-current package. which should work for most nidia cards [16:04] boatman: were you using ubuntu from a usb stick? [16:04] compdoc: Going to go through this guide before I check anyway [16:04] Dr_Willis, or even simply is there an article that I can see some usefull terminal commands for begginners? like autoclean or update etc [16:04] I installed my ubuntu 12.04lts from a usb stick, yes [16:04] DeltaHeavy, guess it is enabled, although there are also other commands to check for vt [16:05] !apt | Wolseinstein [16:05] Wolseinstein: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Muon (KDE) or !Apper (KDE) [16:05] and now i'm on my ubuntu fresh install, in nomodeset, trying to installar nvidia drivers [16:05] boatman: oh, sorry i thought you were using it from usb and wanting to keep it on usb [16:05] Dr_Willis, thanx [16:05] boatman: you do not have one of those dual-gpu-optimus video cards do you? [16:05] DeltaHeavy, try: sudo modprobe kvm_intel [16:06] Dr_willis: no [16:06] yeats: The /sys/hypervisor/ (second step) directory is empty [16:06] boatman: id just try installing the nvida-current package via the terminal and see if it works. ;) [16:07] compdoc: FATAL: Error inserting kvm_intel (/lib/modules/3.5.0-17-generic/kernel/arch/x86/kvm/kvm-intel.ko): Operation not supported [16:07] DeltaHeavy: sudo modprobe kvm [16:07] well, I'll do that then, maybe it would be easyer if I just install it from the software center? [16:07] bekks: That works [16:07] DeltaHeavy: And thats sufficient. [16:08] Dr_Willis, This document is what I exactly asked... thank you [16:08] also one more question: is it possible to drag an item from one of those 4 desktop to another in ubuntu? [16:09] Wolseinstein: huh? click the workspace switcher icon at the left and drag away if you mean to move windows around [16:10] kvm-ok is stating that vmx isn't enabled by my BIOS, guess I'll be back in a few minutes [16:10] Wolseinstein: free tip = Press and hold the SUPER key (windows key) to see a list of Unity Keyboard shortcuts [16:10] Dr_Willis, Yeah I do it, I i just dont know how to drag an item from one workspace to other [16:11] Dr_Willis, I think this super key wont work here as I am booted in gnome desktop with lubuntu [16:13] Lubuntu uses the LXDE desktop. ;) if you re using the GNOME desktop then you are not using the LXDE desktop [16:13] Unity has the SUper Key shortcut. Not sure if gnome-shell does or not [16:14] not sure how LXDE moves stuff around desktops. I dont use lxde a lot. [16:14] most likely theres a right click menu item to move it to next desktop [16:16] Wolseinstein: So Are you using Unity? Lxde, or gnome-shell ;) [16:19] I am not sure but i see the LUBUNTU logo while it reboots [16:19] Wolseinstein: screenshot to the recue! [16:19] rescue [16:20] Ah, that worked. Thanks guys! It turns out it was that BIOS setting. [16:24] hello? [16:25] you get only 1 question and you waste in on a hello? [16:25] tsk tsk === NFisher is now known as Saul === Saul is now known as Saul111 [16:27] ;) [16:29] anyone here? [16:29] Saul111: of course [16:30] lol, havent EVER seen this channel as empty [16:30] 1689 people here. [16:30] not counting the bots. [16:30] ;0 [16:30] So I'm testing out MaaS with one 12.10 Server VM and 3 node VMs--all reporting as 'Ready', and I can't seem to successfully bootstrap juju. I keep getting 'ERROR No matching node is available.' === g_byers is now known as g_byers[Away] [16:31] I see there's an open bug for it, but the proposed workarounds don't seem to improve my situation. [16:32] I may have found something; I think a default constraint is 512MB RAM, and my VMs are reporting 491 for some reason. === g_byers[Away] is now known as g_byers [16:32] Thing is: i just installed privoxy and tor as advised here: bit.ly/Qj6irX . unf. now, it doenst work. When i try to download a file via wget it says:Connecting to localhost|127.0.0.1|:8118... connected. BUT the ip on the downloaded file (whatsmyip.com) is still my genuine one.. any suggestions how i can fix that?! === obli-AWAY is now known as Oblivious [16:33] i would guess that you missed a step in the tor setup. [16:34] hello. why is using the same applications on the same machine, slower on ubuntu than on debian? [16:34] for example vlc plays matroska files normally in debian but in ubuntu it pauses all the time [16:34] uniderv30: graphics driver maybe? [16:34] run it from a terminal, check for error messages. It could also be configured differntly, or using differnt compiled in options [16:35] ThinkT510: same driver [16:35] vpadu - could be a boost or hinderance. [16:35] library versions maybe [16:35] Dr_willis_, well.. i did as advised.. any suggestions? [16:35] Ubuntu 12.10 Unity setting up tor and tor-email http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3Ocw1YOqG8 [16:35] SolarisBoy: really? i doubt that makes much difference [16:36] Saul111, could be their guide missed a step [16:36] i think it would if they are using a blatantly older version of some library your app relies on and said library doesn't play the vid as well.. [16:36] but like i said "maybe" [16:37] maybe ubuntu is bloated? [16:37] *library versions maybe* [16:37] in regards to your vlc comment... [16:38] uniderv30: are you using unity on ubuntu? what desktop on debian? [16:38] ThinkT510: kde on both, debian is testing with 4.8 [16:39] and ubuntu lts with kde 4.8 as well [16:39] uniderv30: any effects enabled on either? [16:39] If i install ubuntu on my new system, where do i get drivers for it? i have an asus p8z77 pro motherboard [16:40] no. their settings are identical as far as i can tell [16:40] mrlambo, depends on your exact hardware. Most drivers will gbe included.. or in the repos. [16:40] ok thanks [16:41] mrlambo: most drivers are already in the kernel, you're most likely only need to hunt for graphics or wifi [16:41] ahh, just missed him [16:41] uniderv30: then i'd consider what SolarisBoy said, sounds the most likely issue [16:42] seriously doubt it [16:42] how have you confirmed that it's not? [16:42] like have you straced or even looked at the libraries being called? [16:42] Dr_willis_, does not seem as it is, afaik, it should work as described [16:42] because it happens in general. its not just vlc [16:42] i can see that being the case between ubuntu and debian.. easily [16:43] with "not just vlc" and all [16:43] uniderv30: give us more examples [16:43] uniderv30: I don't think anyone here can speak to the exact differences between implementations of debian testing and ubuntu 12.04, especially as installed on your system - what do you expect? [16:43] dragonplayer as well, using gstreamer [16:44] sounds like libraries... [16:44] uniderv30: again, thats a media player so codecs/libraries [16:44] +1 [16:44] SolarisBoy: so newer versions of libraries are ... <- can you fill in the dots? [16:45] uniderv30: i dont understand the question [16:45] you need to a) look further into "whats slow/choppy/buggy" like what libraries are called, versions etc [16:45] SolarisBoy: whats with ubuntu's libraries that make applications behave slower? [16:45] uniderv30: you'd have to compare what your debian install has with your ubuntu one to find out [16:46] uniderv30: im not saying thats the case what im saying is it may be beneficial to check [16:46] uniderv30: http://packages.ubuntu.com and http://packages.debian.org - go to town ;-) [16:46] uniderv30, it could be your VLC settings aren't the same on both OSs [16:46] maybe ubuntu froze debian build at specific version of a library before some fixes were added. [16:46] and like BluesKaj said it can be that.. but safe to check it out [16:47] VLCs"s options are numerous to say the least [16:47] BluesKaj: And yet, no gapless playback.

[17:32] espnu, check dmesg as suggested [17:32] espnu, that could cause filesystem curruption that may need a fsck to fix [17:32] okay [17:33] What does this column http://puu.sh/1uc3r on netstat mean?

[17:40] cuddylier: yes [17:40] Chaos7Theory, Standard CHS limited ATA hard drives to 504MB. That's how old CHS is ... [17:41] Ah, okay [17:43] what chat programs do you use for yahoo ?

[17:49] i need to move my pgp key from one place to another [17:49] As I transfer my files onto it, at some random point it gets corrupted somehow and not even GParted can access it, saying that I have to specifically go to Windows, and do a complicated series of steps ._. [17:49] TheLordOfTime, pgp key made in with gpg [17:49] I don't have the money for an external HDD right now. [17:49] Chaos7Theory, sounds like bad hardware [17:49] escott, uh, what? [17:49] escott, isnt that assumed? [17:49] It shouldn't be, it's a PNY 32 GB one I just got. [17:49] nickserv identify 5h4n30043 [17:49] hello! [17:50] Snane, change your password now [17:50] :P [17:50] TheLordOfTime, sometimes people say pgp key and mean a public key that might be for ssh purposes [17:50] it got blurted here :P [17:50] lll [17:50] hello i just install windows 7 near my ubuntu then i boot live cd and re-install grub 2 but instead of dual bot ubuntu only boot [17:50] escott, i've been around a while, dude, that assumption's null/void here. [17:50] Is there a "system monitor" for terminal for monitoring network traffic? I know TOP can handle everything else but I'm just not seeing anything to monitor network send/receive traffic. [17:50] (for my case) [17:50] in any case i need to back up my private key (basically the complete PGP key). how do i do that in the command line? [17:51] hello i just install windows 7 near my ubuntu then i boot live cd and re-install grub 2 but instead of dual bot ubuntu only boot [17:51] roasted_: try tshark or nettop [17:51] TheLordOfTime, options are --export and --export-secret-keys. you might also just backup your keys database in .gpg [17:51] @ escott: Plus, even if it is bad hardware, I have no way of proving it is to the retailer, especially since I'm formatting it myself and they could easily fault me on it. [17:51] lelouch that's easy fix [17:52] Chaos7Theory, sure you can. you dd some data onto it, you dd it off see if it fails a read [17:52] Ryan`: so how to fix it , [17:52] Dd? [17:52] You merely add windows to your bootloader config [17:52] there's tools to do that [17:52] dd ??? [17:52] I can help you in pm [17:53] Chaos7Theory, dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb [17:53] Ryan`: how can i add [17:54] well [17:54] dd ??!

It doesn't seem to be natively supported. [17:55] oh wrong nperson sorry [17:55] Ryan`, i misread your command [17:55] sorry :) [17:56] Hi. Ubuntu 12.10 here. How can I make lightdm or gdm just run my .xsession to start up my favorite window manager? [17:56] no problem [17:56] Ryan`: what should i remove ? .... [17:56] lelouch /boot [17:56] That'll regenerate grub configs [17:56] To b fair, that command wouldn't even work regardless, since he'd have to run it as root. [17:56] escott, okay, so gpg's futzed apparently, i'll have to go fix it, although not sure that'll happen [17:56] Of course [17:56] Ryan`: then ? [17:56] Reboot [17:56] how do you setting up servers in tenminal? [17:56] lelouch, wtf dont rm -rf /boot [17:56] dcherniv ? [17:56] escott, if i recursively copy ~/.gpg, will that get my PGP keys? [17:56] Ryan`: if you remove /boot, you also remove the kernels. you don't seriously want that [17:56] rm -rf the kernel files? [17:57] That partition is regenerated on every boot [17:57] Ryan`: stop that nonsense [17:57] lelouch, don't do anything Ryan` is telling you to do. [17:57] Ryan`, the hell it is [17:57] * TheLordOfTime yawns [17:57] actually on reread, it is dangerous, it'll nuke the kernel files [17:57] Ryan`: Wouldn't it be simpler to just run the update-grub script?

[17:58] TheLordOfTime: ok go try update grub [17:58] leogitimate: do you try to mount that filesystem via /etc/fstab? if you"reformat" it, the UUID changes, you have to adjust fstab too [17:59] how do you setting up servers in terninal? [17:59] TheLordOfTime: ahha thanks i think that should do the trick [17:59] Justin_jtb7rmv have you tried starting the server setup UI?

I think the jokey-text is to configure video [18:34] kracekumar_, its your system. if you want to take that risk you can replace the /usr/bin/python executable with a symlink to pypy [18:35] xjkx, apport is the error reporter [18:35] Oh [18:35] Genial, thanks [18:36] escott, Yes, I can add pypy binary to $PATH and do pypy-pip install fabric will start using pypy interpreter [18:40] kracekumar_, depends on exactly what the shebang is. most system scripts like apt will use the full path in the shebang because they dont want you breaking your system by modifying $PATH [18:41] escott, yes, I said $PATH from pip point of view [18:44] hey guys i really messed up my 12.10 box and it is starting in low graphics mode [18:44] is there any way to recover from this === HugASid|1 is now known as sid|1 [18:46] L3mce: I see, ya I'm going to read up on upstart job [18:48] tbrock: what did you do? and what is the output of lspci -nn | grep VGA [18:48] i was messing with gnome and unity [18:48] i think i need to re-install [18:49] i think i uninstalled nautilus [18:49] L3mce I can't type that, when i click go to console [18:49] it just hangs essentially [18:49] tbrock: http://www.simpsoncrazy.com/content/pictures/family/HomerStranglesBart1.gif [18:50] yeah, ugh [18:50] gustav__, dont do that [18:50] !behelpful | gustav__ [18:50] gustav__: As our !guidelines say, "When helping, be helpful".

[19:32] Guest60898: According to #14 and #15 in in the gparted article I linked you to, that should get you to a point where gparted will be able to resize the NTFS partition [19:32] right [19:32] Guest60898: I'd suggest reading that gparted FAQ in depth first, then working through the recommendations [19:32] bloody hell [19:33] thanks [19:33] so complex [19:33] I can't ping my 12.04 machine from any machine besides itself. I can ping that machine from itself using its IP [19:33] crundar, firewall? [19:33] huh, but I can't ping out. [19:33] vivid: maybe. maybe flush IPTables [19:33] whats option 2 nuke win7 and start again? [19:35] crundar, firewalls won't normally block icmp [19:35] depends on what you define 'normally' === Adeeel is now known as Adeel [19:35] crundar, you probably dont have the correct ip address. your router probably thinks it should be something else and your computer is sending to nowhere [19:35] escott: well, I'll flush it anyway and see. If it doesn't work, then, well I'll have to try something else [19:35] escott: its virtual machine, running in kvm === Adeel is now known as Guest62519 [19:36] escott: but I jst cloned what should be a working machine, [19:36] crundar, NAT or bridged? [19:37] escott: *shame* I ... don't know how to tell, or really what those things mean. [19:37] crundar, if you cloned another image did you change the ip address and mac address [19:38] escott: no. I kind of thought it would do that for you. [19:39] escott: bridged [19:39] crundar, "kvm" is a rather broad description. there is kvm with some raw XML files and then there are all these utilities build on top of it [19:39] escott: virt-manager, comes pre-packaged with RH6, iirc [19:40] crundar, i would start by looking at ifconfig and verify nothing else on your network has that mac/ip [19:42] escott: I pulled up the one I cloned, and it has a different ip. The thing is, this one has an IP that ... looks weird. It doesn't look like it came from the same block that the other ones are. === jtnz_ is now known as jtnz [19:46] L3mce, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer-updates/+bug/1069199 [19:46] Launchpad bug 1069199 in fglrx "1002:682f Unity does not start after installing fglrx-updates Radeon HD 7700M Series" [High,Confirmed] [19:46] i found the unity problem, but mind explaining me workaround #2 === xubuntu is now known as Guest89481 [19:50] anyone else? should i wait for a fix, or can someone explain me how to fix this?

[19:57] Justin_jtb7rmv: why post that command in the channel? [19:57] Justin_jtb7rmv: then to further take the piss, you ask for support. What sort of mentality do you have [19:57] ?

[20:03] NikTh: not something I ever played with. I know it is there but I've never messed with it [20:04] this is definitely a ubuntu bug [20:04] ActionParsnip, most easiest way is VB , isn't ? VB can work like sandbox.. right ? [20:05] NikTh: no idea, sorry [20:05] ActionParsnip, no problema :-) [20:05] ciao [20:05] !list [20:05] parmax: No warez here!

Now I have a question about getting my specific wireless driver installed. [20:06] thanks actionjackson :D [20:06] sambagirl: if you install unp you NEVER have to ask, it's the same command for ALL archives [20:07] I believe I downloaded the right realtek drivers: rtl8723e [20:07] I go through their readme, but the wireless card still is not showing up in ifconfig [20:07] I can get it through lspci [20:07] And I installed the drivers the way that it wanted me to... still to no avail.

[20:11] here is a good question for someone who is ignorant. how would you go about compiling this? http://apache.spinellicreations.com/incubator/cloudstack/releases/4.0.0-incubating/apache-cloudstack-4.0.0-incubating-src.tar.bz2 [20:11] ActionParsnip: There are two cards that show up... AR8161 Gigabit Eth, Realtek Semiconductor blah blah blah [20:11] or wouldnt you compile it? [20:11] using what tool to burn gnea? [20:12] dr-willis: I haven't run the modprobe module before. Would you mind explaining when and where? [20:12] sambagirl: I wouldn't, I'd look for an Ubuntu package first [20:12] sambagirl: here: http://incubator.apache.org/cloudstack/downloads.html [20:12] Farside_ftw: it loads the module/driver.. sudo modprobe modulename [20:12] dr-willis: Let's give this a try :D [20:13] im suprised the directions dident mention it. [20:13] dr-willis: would lspci give me the right module name? [20:13] Gnea: try xfburn. If you get web access in the Ubuntu live desktop, why not just use that and install dban? [20:13] sambagirl: looks like it's all there for 64-bit... wonder where 32-bit went... http://cloudstack.apt-get.eu/ubuntu/dists/precise/4.0/pool/ [20:13] dr-willis: I was too... I saw that module before mentioned on the web... but it wasn't in the readme. However, the file "crap" was loaded with the .tar.gz, so they thought of that at least. === brandon_ is now known as bulletrulz [20:14] dr-willis: me too [20:15] dr-willis: How do I find the correct module name? (God I'm noob sometimes :() [20:15] ActionParsnip: \_>.<_/ I'm in a seriously frustrating situation right now: I used a method of fixing syslinux.cfg as outlined here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11804095&postcount=8 It booted up, didn't give me a menu, didn't ask me what I wanted to do, it went ahead and started a dod wipe of the hdd. I yanked the flashdrive and powered it off before it got too far... far enough to zap the MBR and part of the first partition... quite likely the re [20:16] gnea i've looked all over the place and i don't want to infuriate anyone in that channel with a question. i believe i looked at that location but let me look again i installed rackspace openstack and it is neat but i wanted to see this one too [20:16] Alguem ai pode me ajudar? [20:16] This is driving me crazy. I am trying to use MusicBrainz Picard to save some audio files with proper tags to a CIFS share, and gvfsd keeps puking. Can't fix it without a restart.

Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [20:17] ActionParsnip, I would rather not. [20:17] phunyguy_might be needed [20:17] sambagirl: so you tried installing the .deb packages from there and decided that compiling it would yield the result you're looking for? [20:17] I would rather gvfs work as intended [20:17] Farside_ftw: "sudo modprobe rtl8723e" ... that assumes it isn't already loaded, which you can find out using "lsmod | grep rtl8723" [20:18] i'm sorry [20:19] how do you setting up servers at terninal in ubuntu? [20:19] Farside_ftw: It's also possible you'll need to copy the firmware binary into the correct location, if the install operation didn't already do that [20:19] ActionParsnip: as far as testdisk goes, I'm using that now to recover the MBR... the 'Recovery' partition was the first partition. The information given on ubuntuforums was supposed to be safe and accurate. It was not. [20:19] Gnea: I'd just reinstall then use backups [20:19] http://pastebin.com/hgGM0UbM [20:19] Help-me [20:19] Justin_jtb7rmv: what servers? [20:19] TJ-: Yeah, it's still not finding it... [20:20] ActionParsnip: That *was* the backup. I'll need to order recovery DVDs now. [20:20] TJ- "FATAL: Module rtl8723e not found" [20:20] Farside_ftw: "not finding it" means you've not gone through the install step [20:20] Gnea: then you have the originals if thats only the backup [20:20] ActionParsnip: may I pm?

[20:21] TJ-: Give me a sec to make sure that I went through them step-by-step [20:22] Farside_ftw: sometimes you have to read the command responses carefully; they may indicate one step has failed, which means subsequent steps will also fail [20:22] TJ-: OK, I did the sudomake install, but it's looking for an output file. [20:22] TJ-: What do I do with that? [20:22] Seption, PPA's are not supported, but if the ppa does not load, try other mirror. [20:23] Justasic: shell server means login into ssh account. so set up ssh and make the users. and an irc server is easy: install a irc daemon. _but_ that is a real mess to manage, if you dont want it to be a warez exchange base [20:23] Someone help me upgrade my kernel? [20:23] http://pastebin.com/hgGM0UbM [20:24] ActionParsnip, what i am trying to accomplish is a functional dynamic laptop that I can cart around with me, that stays VPNd to home as long as I have an internet connection. With gvfs/gigolo/openvpn/etc I would imagine I could make this happen, however even locally connected to the network, any slowdown seems to confuse the heck out of gvfs. [20:24] ....and it pukes. [20:24] i need helping please with setting up shell server and irc server [20:24] I also can't kill the process no matter WHAT I do. So a restart is required === Fuchs is now known as zombiefox [20:24] kill -9 doesnt work. [20:25] phunyguy_t430s, zombie process? [20:25] escott, no. [20:25] phunyguy_t430s: you can add the mount to /etc/fstab [20:26] ActionParsnip, I used to do that, but it isn't ideal at all. [20:26] Justin_jtb7rmv: you having a specific problem? [20:26] especially if the share isn't accessible, it confuses the system. [20:26] phunyguy_t430s: well, it can work or not. Your call [20:26] takes a few minutes for it to time out, then I can unmount. [20:27] ActionParsnip, it works great otherwise but when doing too much it keels over. [20:27] i need helping please with setting up shell server and irc server in ubunt [20:27] phunyguy_t430s: if you use fstab then gvfs isn't a factor [20:27] Justin_jtb7rmv: you having a specific problem with one or the other? install ssh server, and an irc server.. confgure them as needed... [20:27] ActionParsnip, that defeats the purpose of what I am trying to do. [20:28] phunyguy_t430s: trasfer data to a remote system...isn't that the goal? [20:28] Justin_jtb7rmv: shell server means login into ssh account. so set up ssh and make the users. and an irc server is easy: install a irc daemon. _but_ that is a real mess to manage, if you dont want it to be a warez exchange base [20:28] If the answer is "it doesnt work, use something else", then why include it in Ubuntu? [20:28] Hi all. Does anyone know how to install a .exe file in playonlinux? [20:28] Justin_jtb7rmv: why do you not answer my question? [20:28] I don't see the option to add an app that isn't in its lists [20:29] ActionParsnip, that is part of the goal. I am trying to come up with a solution for it to be dynamic and be able to adapt to changes in the environment. [20:29] how do you setting up shall server at terninal in ubuntu? [20:29] xpistos: run playonlinux and click the instll button, use the wizard [20:29] When doing 'make' in the rtl'--' folder, I am receiving "error1" and "error2"... at the end it says 'make: *** [all] Error 2" [20:29] !ssh | Justin_jtb7rmv [20:29] Justin_jtb7rmv: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage.

[20:31] the idea isnt just a one time transfer. [20:31] i dident even get into the steam beta ;) [20:31] ActionParsnip: Thanks. I didn't see the option on the bottom left. Odd place for that. [20:31] I am installing rtl (realtek wireless) drivers for Ubuntu 12.10. When in the root folder, I am told to type, 'make'. While 'make' is working, I receive the end error: make *** [all] Error2 [20:31] Farside_ftw, if thats all you want to tell us then i guess we would suggest you fix Error2 [20:31] http://askubuntu.com/questions/139632/wireless-card-realtek-rtl8723ae-bt-is-not-recognized [20:31] That's the reference [20:32] I'm at step 4 on the Answer === alin|mobile is now known as alinmear === ubuntu is now known as Guest95812 [20:33] phunyguy_t430s: you have an issue with gvfs so I am giving a solution which takes it out of the equation. [20:33] ActionParsnip, I dont want to take gvfs out of the equation., [20:33] I want gvfs to WORK. === dad is now known as Guest34911 [20:33] phunyguy_t430s, then open up emacs and start working on it [20:33] gvfs has what I need. [20:34] phunyguy_t430s: yes but if there is no known fix, what are you going to do [20:34] I'm trying to help, I need to get to a point where I can file a bug. [20:34] It is a bug, I know that. [20:34] currently gvfsd-fuse is hung, x2 processes. [20:34] phunyguy_t430s: then check the gvfs bugs, see if it's been reported already [20:34] and I can't kill them. [20:35] phunyguy_t430s: if you kill the parent, they will die [20:35] what parent., [20:35] phunyguy_t430s, then you need to find a minimal set of steps to reproduce it. perhaps strace look at some gvfs logs, maybe run an strace etc [20:35] phunyguy_t430s: the parent process of the hung process [20:35] ActionParsnip, in previous chats, it was established that the parent isn't able to be killed without restarting [20:36] cant remember the exact reason. [20:36] but it was along the lines of the main system process or something [20:36] phunyguy_t430s, its stuck in some syscall [20:36] phunyguy_t430s: ps -ef | grep process look at the 2nd value, that is the parent process [20:36] killing parents and children.. Linux is so violent. [20:36] ;) [20:37] Dr_willis: only if they deserve it :) [20:37] Dr_willis: or turn into zombies [20:38] but you cant kill zombies.. linux reflects real life... [20:38] ;P [20:38] Dr_willis: you can kill the zombies parent and it will drop.....BOOM HEADSHOT [20:38] yeah it is stuck on a system call. [20:39] Well it only seems to happen in Picard, so I may go that direction. [20:39] hmm. odd error... [20:39] worst-case scenario I can load up picard on the server with x forwarding [20:39] W: Failed to fetch gzip:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_quantal_main_source_Sources Hash Sum mismatch [20:39] server is havin some issues? [20:40] how difficult is it to install Ubuntu so all the boot stuff is on an SD drive but the home directory is on another drive? Are there some options to choose at the initial install to do this? [20:40] Hello - any body knows how to increase the size of the C:/ under WINE ? [20:40] cfeagans: rather trivial really [20:40] lol C:/ [20:40] cfeagans, you can do that very, very easily during the initial install if you want [20:41] I was hoping so [20:41] cfeagans: just use the custome partioning layout fesature of the installer. put / on the sdd and /home on the hd. [20:41] gaby_, not sure what you mean, it is just a folder in your linux filesystem. [20:41] cfeagans: but i got a 128gb ssd and all of my linu install fits on it. :) includeing home. I use the other HD as a /media/data partion for extra storeage [20:41] ah... I thought I remembered seeing that once. changing it *after* the install seems a bit complicated though === cake-is-alie is now known as Evil_Eric [20:42] cfeagans: not really. mount the hd to /home/ and move the files to it [20:42] phunyguy_t430s : when i try to install new application - its telling me that there is not enough memory [20:42] cfeagans, what do you mean boot stuff and SD drive you do mean SSD? [20:42] yes.. ssd [20:42] cfeagans, only if you're trying to use that uuid in the fstab. I've never been able to make that work, as I'm far too lazy to deal with it, but Im pretty sure you can just mount it the regular old school way [20:42] gaby_, that's not the same type of memory. [20:43] k... thanks [20:43] phunyguy_t430s: what is the problem and how can i solve it [20:43] cfeagans, you can put /boot on the SSD but that won't do much to make your boot faster. / needs to be on the SSD to have a fast boot. you could have /home on a different disk [20:43] gaby_, I wish I knew, but you can try searching the wine database (cant remember the site) to see if others had any luck with it. [20:43] gaby_: can you give a pastebin of: df -h; lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | grep linux-image thanks [20:43] I'm being told to look for /etc/inittab/ . Not found on my system. Is this a part of a common directory structure on another OS, and what's the corresponding location in Ubuntu (12.04)? [20:44] >< brb gotta restart [20:44] I have everything on the SSD now, and a reboot is very quick... so if I move the home folder that would increase the boot time? [20:44] cfeagans, slightly [20:44] can I split a screen into 2, sort of like dual monitors, but on one monitor? [20:44] hmm.. thanks for that. I'll need to rethink the pros & cons now :) [20:44] cfeagans, it would increase login time (because that needs to read your preferences in $HOME) [20:45] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/FbBcKdLz [20:45] WXZ: for what? [20:45] ah, I think its /etc/init. Or, seems to be [20:45] cfeagans, you could put individual folders like ~/Pictures or ~/Music on the slow disks [20:45] ThinkT510: lucid lynx [20:46] join/ #hackerspace.tn [20:46] yeah, I pretty much do that now [20:46] gaby_: looks fine, You can run: sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-3.2.0-29-generic-pae to clean up but you have acres of space [20:46] WXZ: sorry, i meant why [20:47] ActionParsnip: if i will run sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-3.2.0-29-generic-pae [20:47] ThinkT510: because I want to view two different workspaces simultaneously [20:47] ActionParsnip: what it will clean? [20:47] WXZ, thats a window manager feature called window snapping or tiling. not sure where it would be in lucid [20:47] escott: would it tile the panels too? [20:48] how do i prevent a specific program from connecting to internet? [20:48] WXZ, no i've never heard or what you are describing [20:48] janisozaur, not really possible [20:48] janisozaur, you can block outbound ports with iptables [20:49] escott: ok, well in a dual monitor setup, can you have 1 workspace on one monitor and another on the other? [20:49] or is it like just a really long monitor? [20:49] escott, how about iptables + pid? [20:50] gaby_: you have 2 kernels installed, it will remove the one you don't need (assuming the one you have is ok) [20:50] janisozaur, the pid is not fixed [20:50] escott, ppid? that would be enough granularity for me [20:51] escott, i mean ppid for *all* its children, even ppid-another pid-another child [20:51] WXZ, "workspaces" are window manager concept, so sure the "workspaces" could be put on different physical screens but i've never heard of a WM that does that [20:51] janisozaur, and what if the child disowned the parent? what then [20:52] well that sucks [20:52] janisozaur, sounds like you want containers or the like [20:52] escott, whoa, how do you do that? [20:52] I don't think I'd be comfortable switching from X anyway [20:53] I'm having some update issues: https://gist.github.com/295f139da093740f0ddd would anyone mind trying to give me a hand? [20:53] !crosspost | storrgie [20:53] storrgie: Please don't ask the same question in multiple Ubuntu channels at the same time. Many helpers are in more than one channel and it's not fair to them or the other people seeking support. [20:53] hmmm X forwarding of picard from the server isn't much faster, but at least it works. [20:54] WXZ, generally "workspaces" are intended for virtual workspaces only, and you usually have a virtual workspace that mirrors the physical layout [20:55] escott: physical layout of what? [20:55] WXZ, of your screens. if you have 4 physical displays and 4 virtual workspaces you would usually see 16 virtual screens on which to put your applications. === g_byers is now known as g_byers[Away] [20:56] WXZ: the closest i think you'll get to what you want is the expose-like function in compiz [20:56] how do you setting up own linode server at terninal in ubuntu? === sid|1 is now known as piewolf [20:57] ThinkT510, escott: I'm reading on different WMs right now. I'll be back, but xnomad seems promising. [20:57] WXZ, monad is a tiling window manager [20:57] janisozaur, you might look at http://wiki.openvz.org/Setting_up_an_iptables_firewall its not ubuntu specific though [20:57] how do you setting up own linode server at terninal in ubuntu? [20:58] WXZ, you have tiling which is a WM feature to fit multiple windows to a grid pattern inside a single physical display [20:58] doesn't linode have to set it up for you...? [20:58] oops wrong window [20:58] sorry [20:58] what are the various /etc/rcX.d/ directories? [20:58] WXZ: even a tiling wm won't let you tile workspaces for a side by side comparison === lollko_ is now known as lollko [20:59] ThinkT510: well I hope you're wrong [20:59] how do you setting up own linode server at terninal in ubuntu? [20:59] WXZ, and workspaces which duplicates the physical displays "behind" one another think of it like a big sliding chalkboard === piewolf is now known as sid|1 [21:00] WXZ, trying to put those two functions into the same feature would probably be considered ridiculously confusing by most people and i've never heard of anyone implementing anything like it [21:00] WXZ: i honestly think that expose will be the closest you'll get to tiling workspaces [21:00] how do you setting up own linode server in ubuntu? [21:02] Good night, do you know how to solve that problem of mp3 players being mounted as read-only? [21:02] Justin_jtb7rmv: just buy a linode server and pick ubuntu as the OS. The folks in #linode on the oftc network can help you more [21:02] Justin_jtb7rmv, instead of repeating yourself, go to their site and learn about linode. http://www.linode.com/ (linode isnt a type of server you run on your own, you usually have to pay for Linode to run the VM) [21:03] escott: well the way I use workspaces is I use each one for a specific "task", sometimes I reach impasses where I have to wait for a response (like an answer from irc, or an application to load). I want to be able to watch the progress on one workspace but quickly switch my focus to another [21:03] escott: that takes a lot of clicks, and it's quite annoying. [21:03] roughly how much disk space would it take up to install all of ubuntu ? [21:04] WXZ, if you had two displays then i would put one application one each display, if its one display then you have to resize with a tiling feature [21:04] How do you access the grub menu in Ubuntu? I swear it was just tab at boot but for some reason that's not working. [21:04] ThinkT510: I'll check out expose after nomad, or during, I don't know [21:04] WXZ: have you used unity? [21:05] ActionParsnip: how to identify the one i dont need ? - it will know by it self - or i should specify it ? [21:05] ThinkT510: it's possible [21:05] ello room [21:06] I want to run a script at startup. which rcX.d directory does it go to. Is this related to the runlevel? [21:06] WXZ: when you press the workspaces icon it zooms out to display all workspaces and their content (that is what i'm talking about) [21:06] escott: I like having different panels for my workspaces though, the "taskbar" is going to be extremely cluttered [21:06] crundar, /etc/rc.local [21:06] escott: but yeah, what you said is kind of like my last resort [21:07] WXZ, how many physical displays do you have. im still confused on that [21:07] escott: just one, but I'm getting one really big one on boxing day (maybe). [21:08] ThinkT510: I might be using Unity then. Is the default shortcut for that Win + E? [21:09] thanks you [21:09] WXZ: i don't think so [21:10] can i switch from 32bit to 64bit by adding amd64 as a foreign-arch and force installing a 64bit kernel? [21:10] schmichael, no [21:12] ThinkT510: Oh yeah, I played around with Unity, I remember I hated it. [21:12] dd [21:12] WXZ: unity uses compiz, so that feature comes from compiz [21:12] WXZ: blasphemy [21:13] escott: what's the easiest way to switch? can i just reinstall inplace? [21:13] WXZ: but you can use compiz with other desktop environments (like xfce or lxde) [21:13] schmichael, yeah, backup home and reisntall [21:13] WXZ: kde's kwin has a very similar feature too [21:13] ThinkT510: ofcourse I use compiz, I've been using compiz before I even knew what Unity was. [21:14] escott: is there a way to reinstall w/o using a cd? i haven't had to burn a cd in ages :) [21:14] schmichael, usb [21:15] escott: heh, i don't even have a thumbdrive... there's no way to reinstall inplace? [21:15] i've disabled compiz by mistake... now all i have on my ubuntu screen is a bar at the top that says file, edit, view, go ,bookmarks.... is there anything I can do to restore it? i have access to nothing, i managed to open firefox by opening a html file [21:15] i have a windows partition... isn't there a windows installer? (this is getting silly) [21:15] schmichael, not a supported way [21:16] !install | schmichael [21:16] schmichael: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [21:16] basically i just have access to folders and links on my desktop [21:16] schmichael: Maybe debootstrap [21:16] other user accounts still have the default unity UI though [21:16] but my main one hasn't anything at all apart form the desktop icons and the bar at the top I mentioned earlier [21:17] i don't even know how to access the terminal anymore [21:17] yeats: awesome! there's a From Linux Installation guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux [21:18] schmichael: happy to help [21:18] kind of crazy that it's easier to install ubuntu from windows than from ubuntu [21:18] felipe_Brz: does ctrl+alt+t get you a terminal? [21:18] ThinkT510: yes it does [21:18] schmichael: it's a totally different process [21:19] yeah, i guess i'm looking to manipulate in place, whereas windows has the luxury of knowing the linux partition isn't being used [21:19] schmichael: personally I think it would be worth your time/money/effort to go buy a USB [21:19] felipe_Brz: try: compiz --replace && [21:19] s/USB/USB thumb drive/ [21:19] I'm trying to delete old system files in Windows 7, I switched into Ubuntu to delete the files there but now I can't see the files. They are on my D: drive and I can see all of the files on my C: drive, but not the D. === Guest58900 is now known as elky [21:19] ThinkT510: i add a semicolon at the end? [21:20] after the && ? [21:20] sure === joey is now known as Guest77671 [21:20] oneremainsclear: ubuntu doesn't enumerate drives the same way as windows, so no C: or D:, just /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc. [21:21] did you mean just compiz --replace with the && at the end? ThinkT510 [21:21] where is the file that holds the sudo ? i want to add reboot so that i can run without sudo [21:21] felipe_Brz: yes [21:21] I know, the files I am trying to delete are on a partition, I have found the partition in ubuntu but I can't see the files. [21:21] suhaib: /etc/sudoers [21:21] bekks: thanks [21:22] ThinkT510: yes, Expo is Win + E. But the workspaces are linearly shown so they're incredibly small, maybe if i tile them correctly and on a large screen it could work though. === Youri is now known as YBook [21:22] WXZ: ah yeah, expo, forgot what it was called [21:23] suhaib: be very careful when editing that file - best always use visudo [21:24] yeats: I know, the files I am trying to delete are on a partition, I have found the partition in ubuntu but I can't see the files. [21:24] guntbewhat about sudo nano ? cuase am not familiar with visudo [21:25] anyone know an easy way to clean up my boot process [21:25] ThinkT510: sorry to keep disturbing you... I did compiz --replace but after a while my computer froze and I have to force turn it off [21:25] suhaib: the 'visudo' command will use the default editor (which is nano) [21:25] goddard: a fresh install would do the trick ;) [21:25] ive upgraded a few times [21:25] yeats: aha alright [21:26] suhaib: visudo can be told to use nano as editor but the point is that it checks the file for syntax errors before writing it to disk, so you don't lock yourself out accidentially [21:26] ThinkT510: ya but weeks of reconfiguring [21:26] goddard: weeks? what did you do? [21:26] i'm trying it again...this is what I'm seeing as output http://pastie.org/5433325 [21:26] !tab | suhaib [21:26] suhaib: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [21:26] it isn't going any further than Setting Update "icon_only" so far.... [21:27] guntbert: tahnks for telling me about the tab [21:28] suhaib: :) [21:29] felipe_Brz: how about: unity --reset [21:30] ThinkT510: That was removed in 12.10 [21:32] theadmin: know whats used instead? [21:33] ThinkT510: Well there's some crazy thing to do with dconf and stuff [21:33] ThinkT510: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/how-to-reset-compiz-and-unity-in-ubuntu.html === zombiefox is now known as Fuchs [21:35] theadmin: interesting, cheers [21:35] UGH, there goes gvfsd again! [21:35] how can i restart the sound sistem in 12.04 withbout restarting the pc? [21:35] this time importing music data to Rhythmbox. [21:35] hypercity: sudo restart pulseaudio [21:36] ThinkT510: thank you very much for helping... unity --reset did the trick for me [21:36] all back to normal =) [21:36] !yay | felipe_Brz [21:36] felipe_Brz: Glad you made it! :-) [21:37] theadmin: restart: Unknown job: pulseaudio [21:37] Is there an app to change the brightness of the monitor like we get on the laptops (in System settings -> brightness and lock)? [21:37] hypercity: Eh. Just do a "pulseaudio --kill" then [21:38] CoolKid: doesn't the fn key combo work? [21:38] Hey ubuntu I was working from tty1 and as I was updating I went back to my regular display [12.04 KDE] and my monitor just goes off not registering the display. [21:38] <_W2w222> _} [21:38] CoolKid: ah silly me, you aren't on a laptop [21:38] ThinkT510: yeah :) [21:38] CoolKid: Use the buttons on your monitor then? [21:39] Oh well I'm off [21:39] What are some ways to upload or share a text file from command line? [21:39] theadmin: I don't want to use the buttons on the monitor, that's why lookin for an app. [21:39] !pastebinit | alusion_ [21:39] alusion_: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [21:40] I connected my Desktop with Kubuntu 12.10 from the DVI graphic port via an analog adapter to the vga port to my TV. When I choose the PC port in the menu of the TV I can see the Kubuntu Desktop but the screen refreshed every 5 seconds. I can not seem to fix it. Can anybody help? It drives me insane. [21:41] theadmin: i think i need a more profound restart like alsa or something becouse i cannot start the jack audio server , dbus error, pls help [21:41] anyone? [21:41] CoolKid: well, brightness controls are monitor specific so i guess you don't really have a choice [21:42] ThinkT510: how can i clean up the boot process? [21:42] goddard: good question, what is running that you don't want running? [21:42] I have "K Display Manager" and several other start up processes that load when my computer starts === gerard-majax__ is now known as lissyx [21:43] Thanks jrib 8) [21:43] ThinkT510: I'm sure there's something we can do, I'll go look it up. Thanks for your response :) [21:44] Hello, channel. In Ubuntu, is there anywhere else but /etc/init.d/ where the command line used to invoke a daemon might be stored? I installed bitlbee a while back and changed the port it listens on, but I can't for the life of me find where I did it... [21:45] !upstart | Rask [21:45] Rask: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [21:45] Rask: if it is upstart enabled you will find it in /etc/init [21:46] guntbert: It doesn't seem to be. [21:46] Just grepped all the files in that directory, no mention of the nonstandard port I used... [21:46] Rask: what ubuntu version is this? [21:47] jrib: Oneiric. [21:47] jrib: I want to output commands from terminal into pastebin and can echo the link [21:47] I'm trying to delete old system files in Windows 7, I switched into Ubuntu to delete the files there but now I can't see the files. They are on my D: drive and I can see all of the files on my C: drive, but not the D. I know that ubuntu doesn't enumerate the drives but I have located the drives in Ubuntu and am still having trouble accessing the files. [21:47] is there a start up process manager for ubuntu? [21:48] Rask: it's /etc/init.d/bitlbee . There's also /etc/bitlbee/bitlbee.conf which may be where you made the change but last time I checked that has no effect since the port is explicitly set in the init script [21:48] Rask: use dpkg -L bitlbee to find the files it installed [21:48] alusion_: sure, you can use pastebinit for that [21:48] !upstart | goddard [21:48] goddard: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [21:49] goddard: what do you want to accomplish? [21:49] jrib: I thought so too, but the port is set to the default of 6667 there, while ps aux | grep "bitlbee" shows it was invoked with port 8833 on the command line. [21:49] Rask: how did you start bitlbee? [21:49] jrib: my display crashed, and I have a lot of important windows open so I'm trying to fix it from tty lol [21:50] Rask: you may be starting bitlbee as your user or something. Check crontab for example [21:50] jrib: i want to evaluate my start processes and remove un needed ones [21:50] goddard: ok [21:50] how can i force grub2 to never ask for enter keystroke in ubuntu? [21:50] !grub2 | damo22 [21:50] damo22: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

I just terminated and restarted it and it came up using port 8833 again. [21:51] Hello. [21:51] Rask: is anything else on 6667? [21:51] Hi [21:51] Hi [21:52] I have an Intel E5700 and it says it supports 64 bits architeture. [21:52] What architeture should I downlkoad to run ubuntu on 64 bits? [21:52] yes [21:52] I want to add a polkit rule (polkit.addRule....;) for a specific partition, but I don't know how [21:52] Ormus: The amd64 image [21:52] hmm [21:53] /etc/polkit-1/rules.d that is suggested in most documentation I could find does not exist (&does not work) [21:54] is there a meta package to uninstall ubuntu desktop and install ubuntu server? [21:54] jrib: Just figured it out. /etc/init.d/bitlbee stealthily includes /etc/default/bitlbee, in which the port is defined... [21:54] Rask: I see [21:54] i want a server install but i only have desktop cd [21:54] thanks, all [21:55] damo22: better download at least the !minimal CD and start with that [21:55] doh [21:55] damo22: Which desktop CD do you have? [21:55] 12.04.1 LTS [21:55] hello [21:56] damo22: I suggest the alternate CD instead of the minimal CD, but yeah, it's much easier that route than trying to remove. [21:56] damo22: There's no meta-package for that. But you can install the linux-image-server, then do sudo tasksel and select LAMP ( and maybe some others like SSH ), then remove ubuntu-desktop [21:56] genii-around: dude thats great, i was thinking that too [21:57] Flannel: d/ling alternate will need as much time/bandwidth as server, will it not? [21:57] you guys dont realise i live on 3GB data per month [21:58] cant just dl another cd for fun [21:58] genii-around: removing ubuntu-desktop will not really remove anything (if i remember correctly) [21:58] guntbert: This is tru since it's a meta [21:58] any idea why my system would refuse permission to a file while in root? [21:58] Well I tried the AMD64 image. It just hangs when I try to run it from USB. [21:58] damo22: do you really care of ubuntu-desktop gets removed? Just see what's running and remove the stuff you don't want. Unless hard drive space is a real concern... [21:58] shows me a really messy image and just hangs.

[21:59] fu6d: pastebin what you are actually doing and the full output [21:59] jrib: i didnt use the hyphen because i wasnt referring to the package itself, i meant i dont want a desktop environment at all and was wondering if i can install a minimalistic system with server kernel [22:00] jrib: Yes, that's why I suggested that route, since most people wouldn't really care if the packages were still actually on there from -desktop unless space was a consideration, etc [22:00] damo22: sure, but if you don't care about hard drive space, then it shouldn't make much of a difference [22:01] jrib: i just dont know how to install this using the desktop cd [22:01] damo22: there's no special server kernel any more by the way [22:01] fu6d: who owns the file? [22:01] damo22: define "this" [22:02] jrib: can't. connecting to you thru windows. but what i'm trying to access is the wpa_supplicant.conf file. i'm doing so in root.

I got it! trism, I just made a /usr/share/applications/customscripts folder, put the new script in there, and then changed the exec line to sh that script and all is well. thanks for the help. [23:13] now it will be correct for all users. [23:13] Freeder oh so this is a script that corrects human errors nice [23:13] phunyguy_t430s: excellent [23:13] escott: command-not-found is already the newest version. (according to apt) [23:14] this is on 10.10 [23:14] so Im' thinking support was dropped for it at python2.6 . When I upgraded to 2.7, it still sees the old stuf as the most current [23:17] Freeder ./configure; make; make test; make install [23:17] LovesLinux: this is an ubuntu function added to the binary, doesn't exist in source [23:17] .. the apt repo binary [23:18] what ? [23:18] uhhh [23:18] anything an app can do must be in the source... [23:18] Freeder do they have a website? [23:19] Distro dev's commonly add in 'features' to the official repos offered [23:19] Freeder, yes, but how do they dd them? through the source code..... [23:19] add* [23:20] Freeder I see I dont use Ubuntu much, is this closed source then? [23:20] they don't add it to the official python source [23:20] Ubuntu? [23:20] LovesLinux: what is your actual question, lets see if we can resolve this [23:20] hey all [23:20] Freeder: you know 10.10 is no longer supported? [23:20] Freeder, im no expert but how can an app do anything if it is not programmed to do so through the blueprints aka source code... [23:21] It just sounds like you are implying some 'skynet' like activity and it scares me :-( [23:21] jrib: yes [23:22] you cant have software without code in it Erin [23:22] Erin: Python devs write their source. Ubuntu devs take that source, add in their own flavor, compile, and offer it on the ubuntu apt repos. [23:22] ikonia as an experienced Linux user and server admin I asked is CommandNotFound open sourced or closed source. Are you a bot? [23:22] the source, afaik, that the ubuntu devs use is not released [23:22] tuxmatt, yea I am aware of this... [23:22] LovesLinux: why would I be bot ? [23:23] !info CommandNotFound [23:23] Package CommandNotFound does not exist in quantal [23:23] Freeder, im ure it is released, ubuntu is open source.... [23:23] ok - so it's not a seperate package. [23:23] ikonia, I actually think it is [23:23] !find command-not-found [23:23] Found: command-not-found, command-not-found-data [23:23] ikonia I just thought you might have been a bot who parsed my input to ask a question [23:23] what is the package name ? [23:23] what is everyone running right now [23:23] but, support for 10.10 stopped at python2.6 [23:24] Freeder, why not update then, 10.10 is ancient ;-p [23:24] anyway to window the virtual desktops in gnome? [23:24] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommandNotFoundMagic [23:24] I upgraded to 2.7, but obviously the commandnotfound didnt tag along with it [23:24] WXZ, you might try something with xnest its all really strange though [23:24] but seemlessly, not like expo [23:24] I've been manually copying over the modules needed as I can find them, but figured i'd ask to see if anyone knew where a different 2.7 repo may be that I can snag it from [23:25] escott: I'm getting closer the more I read, there's other ways of attaining the same effect via different methods [23:25] Freeder: 10.10 isn't supported, you should just upgrade [23:25] WXZ, http://superuser.com/questions/115076/how-to-vertically-split-widescreen-into-two-virtual-workspaces-on-ubuntu-gnome === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [23:25] jrib, not an option, but thanks [23:25] awww yeah, that sounds like the good stuff [23:26] ikonia: the two links referenced in that article are dead [23:26] Freeder: that seems a pretty clear message [23:26] 'its dead jim!'

After I installed, I tried to startup, and I keep getting this message... error: no such device: 6500b52d-917b-4ce7-be82-886a0d767705. grub rescue> I thought it may have been a bad install, so I reinstalled from a USB drive this time. I'm getting the same message. Can anyone help with this? [23:37] Chakotay_: it's basically looking for a disk device that doesn't exist [23:37] mathnerd314_, are you running just amd or do you have one of those hybrid cards thats intel/amd combo [23:37] Chakotay_: that is a UUID reference for a disk device/partition [23:37] Chakotay_, how does it appear in "sudo blkid" [23:37] ikonia: How can I fix it? [23:38] Chakotay_: fix your grub configuration to point at the right UUID [23:38] Evil_Eric: it's this chip: http://www.amazon.com/AMD-A8-3870K-Graphics-Quad-Core-Processor/dp/B006J420UE [23:38] ikonia: is there a tutorial on how to do that?

[23:39] Evil_Eric: with this motherboard: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0058G670I [23:39] chakotay try changing the grub.conf or the equivelant in grub2 to point to the device rather than uid [23:39] ahhh yeah mathnerd314_ you can just run the propritary drivers then [23:39] escott: No, just the way I wrote it out [23:39] i thought you might of had a graphics set up like mine [23:40] Chakotay_, run "sudo blkid" and find that UUID [23:40] Chakotay_: do not do what LovesLinux said [23:40] ikonia why not? [23:40] LovesLinux: because it's wrong [23:41] ikonia: OK [23:41] ikonia and why? [23:41] Chakotay_: you need to first understand which part of grub is failing, then fix that part so that the grub.conf is correctly generated [23:41] Chakotay_: you do not edit hte grub config directly as it will be overwritten when updates come in a trigger the dynamic update of the config [23:41] ikonia /dev/sda makes what diff to a uid [23:41] LovesLinux: what ? [23:41] ikonia: OK, so I should boot into Live CD right? [23:41] Chakotay_: first question are you dual booting this with windows ? [23:41] ikonia rather than using a uuid why not point to the disk by dev ? [23:42] ikonia: sorry if that is a stupid question. I [23:42] LovesLinux: I didn't say you can't use /dev/sda - I said do not edit the grub.conf manually [23:42] ikonia: yes [23:42] LovesLinux, its not stable across hardware changes and it may not even be stable across boots [23:42] ikonia: Windows 7 [23:42] Chakotay_: ok, second question, when you boot, do you get a grub menu offering you windows or ubuntu ? [23:42] or is that where you get the error straight away [23:42] (no menu, just error) [23:43] ikonia: No, after I go through my BIOS screen I get the Missing operating system message [23:43] Erin: Hi [23:43] Chakotay_: when do you get the error you stated then ? [23:44] Erin: I'm not listing really [23:44] I want to connect to browse the db [23:44] ikonia: right after the missing operating message appears. About 10 seconds later [23:44] Chakotay_: ok, that's interesting, are you using two seperate hard disks ? [23:45] ikonia: No [23:45] Erin: I'm constantly getting Error NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME when trying to correct [23:45] s/correct/connect [23:45] Chakotay_: so one disk, partitioned ? [23:45] ikonia: Yes [23:45] ikonia so for legacy always modify menu.lst? [23:45] Erin: at least I know that that the netbios name is correct [23:45] LovesLinux: he's not using legacy [23:45] he's using grub2 which has been current with ubuntu for over a year now [23:45] ikonia and the equivelant for grub2 [23:46] Chakotay_: ok, that makes it a little more interesting [23:46] LovesLinux: there isn't one [23:46] LovesLinux: it works differently, which is why I advised him not to do what you said [23:46] ikonia so there n tmplate? [23:46] no, it works differnt === Justasic- is now known as Justasic [23:46] which is the best linux distro for home use? [23:46] it's generated dynamically [23:47] Chakotay_: ok, if we just park the "missing operating system" for a moment, and look at getting the ubuntu boot [23:47] ikonia: I installed 3 times thinking I did something wrong. I first tried from a DVD, then I used a USB that I made with Unetbootin [23:47] Chakotay_: if you boot into a livecd and do a "sudo blkid" and make a note of the block id's and relevant partitions and bring it back here [23:48] AndroUser-thanig: most here would probably agree that ubuntu is a good distro for home use... If you're looking for broader answers try #ubuntu-offtopic or ##linux [23:48] ikonia: Ok, I'm booting into live CD now [23:49] hi there, just a quick question. Is there any thing better than VirtualBOX to use on Ubuntu? [23:49] jrib thank you [23:49] jesusemelendezm: what do you mean by "better" [23:49] I wanna run some dedicated servers as VMs such as web server, file server and others. But I don't know how stable is Virtualbox. [23:50] virtualbox is very good [23:50] I wonder if It is suitable for the enterprise. [23:50] jesusemelendezm: maybe a little research [23:50] rather than asking a group of strangers [23:50] if you are considering for enterprise use [23:50] For desktop use any of the "main stream distros" (those In my opinion own windows) are user friendly so Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, but IMO Slackware is easy but my head of our Linux team disagrees ;) [23:50] the fact that oracle offer it as their official x86 virtual platform should offer you insight [23:50] something made more for VPSs might be better for enterprise server stuff [23:51] ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1386687/ [23:51] I am sorry ikonia, I was doing some research. I found many people use it and also do I. But I 'd like to ask you guys opinion. === vicium\ is now known as vicium [23:51] jesusemelendezm: your research seems poor [23:51] haha OK I will do some research. Thanks a lot any way.

Whenever i tried to mount it i get wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, === aerg is now known as mathnerd315 [23:52] Chakotay_: so is that the line in the error [23:53] Chakotay_: that looks the same device ID to me === Justasic2 is now known as Justasic [23:53] virtualbox is for virtualising at a small scale if you want to hypervise at a sever (industrial level) you need something like esx or (yuk) hyperv [23:53] i created the ext3 fs with "mkfs -t ext3 /dev/hda1" and fdisk -l says "/dev/sda1 63 312581807 156290872+ 83 Linu" [23:53] am i missing anything ? [23:53] ikonia: 6500b52d-917b-4ce7-be82-886a0d767705 is the device in the error [23:53] jesusemelendezm: ignore again what LovesLinux has said [23:54] Chakotay_: ahh ok, so it's a differnet ID, great, that makes it simple [23:54] hey guys, I messed up with the nvidia-settings utility and I only see a blank screen [23:54] ikonia again why? [23:54] ikonia: That's a relief [23:54] LovesLinux: because it's wrong/nonsense [23:54] is there a command line option I can use to reset to hardware default? [23:55] i am having issues setting up the lamp stack and all... i loaded snyaptic manage r to download some stuff i needed but i am sure i messing that up.. if someone has time to baby me and pm it be great [23:55] Chakotay_: so you'll have to help me here a bit as I'm not on ubuntu, but go into /etc/default/grub [23:55] ikomia explain please? [23:55] ikonia, tell me your opinion. [23:55] LovesLinux: what do you need to explain "you're wrong" [23:55] ikonia: Ok [23:55] jesusemelendezm: I suggest you research it properly rather than listening to strangers giving you miss information [23:55] ikomia I work for a hosting provider and have experience at 2nd line lvl with hypervisors [23:55] Chakotay_: look for the line that has the "wrong" UUID [23:56] LovesLinux: wow - then you should know you're talking nonsense [23:56] ikomia not really but I only use vbox aat desktop lvl [23:56] Ok ikonia, I will do that. But It seems like you only know when someone is wrong but you are not willing to share your knowledge. That's not Ubuntu people best practices... [23:56] LovesLinux: right so "YOU" only use it at desktop level....that means you don't know about it, so stating he needs ESX is nonsense [23:57] as you don't know [23:57] jesusemelendezm: ubuntu peoples best practice....please [23:57] ikonia no I see the things at desktop level so do vbox do a clustered version? [23:58] jesusemelendezm: think about it, if someone says "it's not enterprise level" - I've just told you it's oracle's recommended X86 vrital platform, and that the person who's said "it's not enterprise is wrong" what do you think my opinion is.... think abou tit [23:58] ikonia: I am in /etc/default/grub but I don't see the it [23:58] LovesLinux: a clustered version ? [23:58] got you. [23:58] ikonia is vbox able to do clustered vms? [23:58] LovesLinux: are you taking about vmotion ? [23:58] is that what you are trying to reference ? [23:59] ikonia no clustering is spreading storage over netwoked volumes [23:59] totally [23:59] clustering != storage [23:59] as well as resources sometimes [23:59] I want to kill myself?
