| rootz | good because when i installed GNOME i stell hade unity but the duel booter looked different | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| ikonia | rootz: gnome will not touch grub (the boot loader) either | 00:00 |
| rootz | then why did it | 00:00 |
| ikonia | I don't think it did | 00:00 |
| trueneu | Will Firefox touch my GRUB? | 00:01 |
| trueneu | Kidding. | 00:01 |

| rootz | my duel booter has space in the back grown, | 00:01 |
| [1]lowkey | almoxarife, no i didn't install it via wubi, drives not paritioned or anything. its just the loader so i could get it to boot to the cd. | 00:01 |
| === Adeel is now known as Guest62537 | ||
| rootz | after i installed the GNOME desktop manger for the Ubuntu store | 00:01 |
| [1]lowkey | almoxarife, it did give me the option to boot to ubuntu now, but it only booted to the GNU grub prompt. | 00:01 |
| ikonia | rootz: it doesn't touch grub | 00:01 |
| rootz | then why does my boot manger look difrnat | 00:02 |
| ikonia | you did something else | 00:02 |
| rootz | then why does my boot manger look different. | 00:02 |
| almoxarife | [1]lowkey: a yes or no question, was 'wubi.exe' used to get you to this point? | 00:02 |
| rootz | ikonia are you going to say the same thing over and over agen | 00:03 |
| [1]lowkey | almoxarife, i said NO. It was not, i said it gives me the "windows" boot option to boot to WinXP or Ubuntu like when you do a wubi install. | 00:03 |
| almoxarife | :) | 00:03 |
| trueneu | So are you, rootz | 00:03 |
| rootz | ya. | 00:03 |
| rootz | so are you trueneu | 00:03 |
| ikonia | I assure you you won't | 00:03 |
| ikonia | rootz: bottom line is, you've done something else, installed a theme etc | 00:03 |
| roasted | trueneu: yeah, the -name thing didn't fly. It's k, this way works fine too. | 00:04 |
| almoxarife | rootz: did you say you tried to install KDE? | 00:04 |
| ikonia | he said gnome | 00:04 |
| rootz | o are you incoeding the add-ons | 00:04 |
| OerHeks | rootz if you did not install side-by-side, but install Gnome from within KDE, the startup screen changes to gnome. | 00:04 |
| OerHeks | is that what you point to ? | 00:04 |
| trueneu | Still I can't get why, roasted. "find . -name '*.docx' -mtime +5 -exec echo {} \;" works great either on FreeBSD or Ubuntu. | 00:05 |
| rootz | almolarofe i am saying i don't wont my duel booter to cahge from installing KDE | 00:05 |
| gordonjcp | if I remove thunderbird-globalmenu I don't get any menu at all in thunderbird | 00:05 |
| ikonia | rootz: grub will not change | 00:05 |
| gordonjcp | has anyone else encountered that? | 00:05 |
| roasted | trueneu: when I ran it, it was asking me if I wanted to change the write protection on an entirely unrelated directory here in my home dir - right here in Ubuntu. | 00:05 |
| rootz | ok and if it does | 00:05 |
| ikonia | rootz: it doesn't | 00:06 |
| ikonia | and won't | 00:06 |
| roasted | trueneu: either way, using the full path like /home/frank/*.jpg works just as well. | 00:06 |
| rootz | but waht if it does <_< | 00:06 |
| ikonia | rootz: it won't | 00:06 |
| rootz | so if i ask the people on the deban chat that i got form my gnome waht will they say, | 00:07 |
| proka | Guys, can someone please help me with confining ssh users to their home directory? I have tried following this guide http://superuser.com/questions/248196/ubuntu-limiting-user-account-only-to-access-his-home-dir, but it doesn't work. | 00:07 |
| ikonia | rootz: I'm not interested in debian chat - this is ubuntu support | 00:07 |
| === harmagent is now known as vector | ||
| almoxarife | rootz: you are sort of clueless as to what you did, further complicated by being clueless to the possible outcomes of doing so, it happens | 00:07 |
| ikonia | rootz: you're using ubuntu, ubuntu's grub will not change with the installation of the KDE desktop. Discussion over | 00:07 |
| rootz | ok | 00:07 |
| rootz | see ya | 00:07 |
| muellisoft | proka: how does that not work? What's the issue? | 00:07 |
| === muellisoft is now known as Muelli | ||
| trueneu | roasted, the problem with the wildcard is that you leave all the expanding work to shell. So theoretically if your directory is full of photos, it won't fly as the string will become too long. | 00:07 |
| === atrius is now known as atrius_away | ||
| roasted | trueneu: well, let me set up a mock environment again and run that command again. It scared the crap out of me to see it wanted me to lift write protection on some other folders to successfully delete them. | 00:08 |
| trueneu | rm [dir] won't delete directories, btw. | 00:09 |
| proka | muellisoft: When I do all the steps from that guide, and ssh locally, it gives me a blank terminal, no >$, no path, nothing, and when I type basically any command, it just closes the connection | 00:09 |
| LionDale | hola a todos | 00:09 |
| trueneu | But yeah, try that again, without rm to be safe, roasted. | 00:09 |

| Nordom | how to display current programs running? and how to kill them kill 'name'? | 00:09 |
| Muelli | Nordom: ps aux and pkill maybe. | 00:10 |
| proka | *Muelli, didn't see that you changed your nick | 00:10 |
| seednode | Display current programs with top (I prefer htop), and kill with killall name | 00:10 |
| seednode | Or listen to Muelli | 00:10 |
| seednode | That's just how I do it. | 00:10 |
| LionDale | Alguien sabe dónde está el error en 12.04 para reconocer los dispositivos bluetooth? | 00:10 |
| fishscene | Nordom: To kill, I use "killall -9 (name of program, no parenthesis)" | 00:10 |
| Muelli | Nordom: you can find these things out yourself using "apropos", i.e. "apropos kill". | 00:10 |
| almoxarife | Nordom: would you like the not so sexy gui way? | 00:10 |
| almoxarife | !es | 00:10 |

| trueneu | Guys, I don't really use ubuntu that much, do you have some sort of 'starters manual', like FreeBSD handbook? | 00:11 |
| Muelli | proka: yes. Say it. It's probably messy to debug. Good luck. | 00:11 |

| proka | Muelli, I didn't quite understand you there? | 00:12 |
| Muelli | proka: I think what you really want is a more restrictive umask. | 00:12 |
| trueneu | Ah, thanks guys. | 00:12 |
| trueneu | I'm not really going to read that, I just wondered why not everyone knows how to `ps auxww | grep 'something'` | 00:13 |
| proka | Muelli, What I basically want is that when certain user connects via ssh he gets confined to his own home dir, so he can't access anything else on the filesystem. | 00:13 |
| almoxarife | trueneu: because there is a gui now for everything | 00:13 |
| Jordan_U | trueneu: Because everyone knows that "grep foo" is easier ;) | 00:13 |
| Muelli | proka: that's complicated. Involves sshd chrooting and all. not fun. | 00:13 |
| Jordan_U | trueneu: s/grep/pgrep/ | 00:13 |
| trueneu | pgrep is GNU way :P | 00:14 |
| trueneu | Wait, I'm mistaken. | 00:14 |
| proka | Muelli, So, is there an easier way that will give me the same results, more or less? | 00:14 |
| nicolenicole | is anyone else having trouble with youtube-dl? | 00:14 |
| almoxarife | gosh, #bash101 | 00:14 |
| trueneu | Mistook it for egrep, bwah. | 00:15 |
| LionDale | I have recently installed xubuntu 12.04. There is no way to have bluetooth working. I had no problems with debian squeeze, but i don't know what is wrong now. dmesg give information on bluetooth device. | 00:15 |
| proka | nicolenicole, I am, it doesn't download anything? | 00:15 |
| nicolenicole | it was working for me earlier but now it is giving me an error unable to download video | 00:15 |
| proka | nicolenicole, same here :/ | 00:16 |
| almoxarife | LionDale: if you dont mind, share via pastebin, /var/log/syslog and kern.log | 00:16 |
| Muelli | well proka. Depends really on how much you can lower your expectations. rbash was mentioned. That's totally trivial to overcome. I'm using new groups for every user and a default umask that doesn't leave the "other" bit open. So files created by default won't be accessible by other users. | 00:16 |
| nicolenicole | I had Ubuntu Studio installed originally but I uninstalled and reinstalled regular Ubuntu with both GNOME and XFCE instead, I'm on XFCE now, not sure if any of that would affect it though, i tried a few links and terminal emulators | 00:16 |
| LionDale | sorry almoxarife, don't know what pastebin is. Copy&paste? | 00:17 |
| knightrage | is there a way to limit download speeds? | 00:17 |
| nicolenicole | @proka it's not working for you either? is the program networked to get the videos from a database somehow? | 00:17 |

| almoxarife | jrib: i understood what you said | 00:20 |
| nicolenicole | so youtube-dl is down? how does the program work? is it a networking issue or did something change in an update perhaps? | 00:21 |
| almoxarife | nicolenicole: i noticed them too, i am thinking its the h264 thing, if i played it on the browser(chromium) they worked | 00:21 |

| roasted | trueneu: that worked. Thekey was using -iname (not -name) and not using any quotes around the *.txt part. | 00:25 |
| nicolenicole | shouldn't the software update have done it automatically after installing the OS? | 00:25 |

| nicolenicole | I found it: "Notify me of a new Ubuntu version: for LTS versions" switched it to "for any new version" | 00:28 |

| Muelli | i.e. after the first directory. And do read man find, it's quite enlightening :-) | 00:32 |
| roasted | Muelli: been on the man find. | 00:32 |
| roasted | Muelli: how does everything work fine based on that pastebin? | 00:32 |
| trueneu | It's not the find problem, you're just trying to move file to itself. | 00:33 |
| lickalott | what does this mean? - Disk /dev/mapper/silentkiller-root doesn't contain a valid partition table | 00:34 |
| lickalott | i'm on the server right now. | 00:34 |
| roasted | trueneu: maybe I'mmisunderstanding, but the way I see it, I have /home/jason/test and /home/jason/test/destination. two different locations. | 00:34 |
| Muelli | lickalott: that it doesn't contain a valid partition table ;-) | 00:34 |
| lickalott | but it's working fine | 00:34 |
| lickalott | i'm confused | 00:34 |
| Muelli | roasted: but find goes recursively into subdirectory. hence the need for a depth. | 00:35 |
| Muelli | roasted: so it will find all files in ./destination/ . And since you're trying to move the files there, it tells you, that they are already there. | 00:35 |
| lickalott | think it has to do woth LVM Muelli | 00:36 |
| roasted | Muelli: my goal here is to utilize this script in a delete fashion. I want to delete all avi's older than 5 days from a specific directory. I guessin that case I wouldn'tneed a depth, eh? | 00:36 |
| nongoogle | How do I navigate my terminal to a mounted .iso? | 00:36 |
| roasted | Muelli: I'm just using the .txt files as an example to test | 00:36 |
| Muelli | roasted: yes. | 00:36 |
| trueneu | You wouldn't, roasted. Just be careful and first issue an echo instead of rm. | 00:37 |
| jrib | roasted: why are you using -exec mv while still testing your find command? | 00:37 |
| roasted | jrib: I have no idea. | 00:37 |
| Muelli | roasted: you might want to use systemd or tmpwatch for that. dunno though. cronjob and find does the job well, too. And you can use -ls to "debug" you find commands. | 00:37 |
| jrib | roasted: :P | 00:37 |
| roasted | jrib: I'm just trying to find a way to auto delete/automove my video feeds from the surveillance cameras. | 00:37 |

| roasted | jrib: my server islow on space and I decided to use my HDD money on a firearm, so now I'm stuck on a 500gb array for a while | 00:38 |
| Muelli | roasted: you're well on your way. read man find over and over again, and you'll find the proper arguments ;-) | 00:38 |
| quessz | hi, I have (at least I guess) an easy question. What size partiton do I have to make for the root? | 00:38 |
| nongoogle | i need to run a script on a mounted .iso, how do I navigate my terminal to the directory? | 00:39 |
| jrib | quessz: you have a separate /home? | 00:39 |
| roasted | jrib: Motion saves avi's when motion is detected. It also saves an mpg of theentire day recorded at 1 fps. I want to save one day's feeds in the mainfolder, then move them all to archives. Then deleteavi's older than 5 days out of the archives and delete timestamps older than 30 out of the archives. | 00:39 |
| jrib | nongoogle: cd /path/to/directory | 00:39 |
| roasted | jrib: that way I have 1 days of active feeds, 5 days of prior feeds, and 30 days of 1 fps 24 hour recordings. | 00:39 |
| trueneu | I'm not sure about files being moved twice in that previous example btw, Muelli. | 00:39 |
| quessz | jrib: yep, a /home and a root | 00:40 |
| trueneu | http://pastebin.com/eNBawbzW | 00:40 |
| nongoogle | it doesn't display any sensible directory to navigate to jrib | 00:40 |
| roasted | Muelli: I've spent more time on that man page than I care to even think about. I came in to the room to take a nap2hours ago and I'm still here awake trying to figure this out. | 00:40 |
| Muelli | trueneu: simple. What's not to understand? It find everything in ./destination and then moves it there (again)... | 00:40 |
| jrib | quessz: I have 19G used on my /. This install is about 5 years old. I have no idea how it's even that big... | 00:40 |
| jrib | nongoogle: what is "it" | 00:41 |
| nongoogle | properties on the folder listed in the file manager | 00:41 |
| quessz | jrib: so do you think 15Gb will not be enough? | 00:41 |
| Muelli | roasted: use "find /mnt/storage -name '*.mpg' -ctime +5 -ls" to see whether it matches your intended files. If it does, -exec rm '{}' \; | 00:41 |
| nongoogle | it just says something like "/ on isoName.iso" | 00:42 |
| jrib | quessz: should be enough. Use LVM if you want some flexibility | 00:42 |
| roasted | Muelli: don't you mean mtime? | 00:42 |
| troulouliou_dev | his is it possible to set up a optimus laptop to always use the nvidia card with bumblebee | 00:42 |
| Muelli | roasted: pick any of your liking. | 00:42 |

| Muelli | trueneu: that's enough. | 00:43 |
| Muelli | trueneu: but roasted *already* has the file in ./destination/. So try to move /tmp/foo to /tmp/foo. mv gives a warning. | 00:43 |

| roasted | Muelli: I'm just trying to get the structure of the command working. Then I can substitute the dir's for the ones that are applicable on my server. Part of this is just tinkering and reading and trying not to pass out. | 00:46 |
| trueneu | I thought you mean that if, for example I have a A file in ./ and then it moves to ./B/ with -exec mv ... , find will find ./B/A once again. | 00:46 |
| trueneu | If no depth is implied, etc etc. | 00:46 |
| Muelli | roasted: fair enough. but now you know about -ctime, -name, -ls and -exec. So you should be set :-) | 00:47 |
| jrib | nongoogle: so in file manager, where does it show what you mounted? | 00:47 |
| roasted | Muelli: yep. I got a puzzle here. Just need the right pieces. | 00:47 |
| guest-D2hI4V | Hi all | 00:47 |
| Muelli | roasted: I think I gave you the solution, no? Just substitute your directory. | 00:47 |
| roasted | Muelli: haven't even tested it yet, been trying to answer everybody trying to help me here :P | 00:48 |
| roasted | Muelli: didn't want to be rude and simply ignore. :D | 00:48 |
| Muelli | hrhr | 00:48 |
| edoedo | How can I understand all the words in " Ubuntu Software Center"? | 00:48 |
| jrib | edoedo: which ones do you not understand? | 00:48 |
| edoedo | To jrib: I am looking for a Video Phone for the Deaf | 00:49 |
| roasted | Muelli: Muelli find /home/jason/ -name '*.mpg' -mtime +5 -ls looks like it's working. | 00:49 |
| Muelli | roasted: you're welcome ;-) | 00:49 |
| edoedo | jrib: When I type Video and it said nothing | 00:49 |
| marun | Hi All | 00:49 |
| guest-D2hI4V | how do I get the update info's from a ubuntu which is not connected to the internet, so I can use that info to download it from a computer which is connected to the internet | 00:49 |
| edoedo | Hi marun | 00:49 |
| jrib | edoedo: that's not really what I asked. In any case, why don't you try « mount » in a shell | 00:49 |
| roasted | Muelli: but in terms of the mv, the depth still applies, no? | 00:50 |
| marun | What is /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:01:01.0 device? | 00:50 |
| edoedo | jrib: I am trying to learn all those words ( computer talk) | 00:50 |
| Muelli | roasted: I don't understand the question. | 00:50 |
| edoedo | Where is a shell is? | 00:50 |
| jrib | edoedo: sorry, I confused you with someone else. | 00:50 |
| edoedo | Oh it is cool , jrib | 00:50 |
| trueneu | roasted, depth means how deep in the directory structure find will go. | 00:50 |
| marun | My server crashed today and I see this message in dmesg: the last sysfs file: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:01:01.0/local_cpus | 00:50 |
| jrib | nongoogle: In any case, why don't you try « mount » in a shell | 00:50 |
| roasted | trueneu: so if I only want it in the specific dir I set in the path, depth is irrelevant? | 00:51 |
| edoedo | jrib: I can't find a video phone for the Deaf people using and a guy told me Linux has that | 00:51 |
| guest-D2hI4V | I have a ubuntu installed on a computer, but it is not connected to the internet. but I want to update it | 00:51 |
| jrib | edoedo: ask him if he can tell you the name of the software | 00:51 |
| Muelli | roasted: if you only want "find" to find file in one single directory, i.e. not recurse into subdirectory, you use -depth. without that, it will dive down the directory tree. | 00:51 |
| jrib | guest-D2hI4V: what version? | 00:51 |
| edoedo | Oh right | 00:52 |
| trueneu | Then it will go all the way down if you don't specify the depth, roasted. | 00:52 |
| edoedo | Thanks jrib, i feel like an idiot now | 00:52 |
| edoedo | If I don't find it then I will return here, thanks jrib | 00:52 |
| jrib | edoedo: sure. I'm not familiar with anything like that personally, so I can't help you more | 00:52 |
| edoedo | understandable , jrib | 00:52 |
| edoedo | poof | 00:52 |
| proka | Muelli, I have found a way to do what I wanted :) | 00:53 |
| roasted | trueneu: anything to theright, right? as in, anything deeper than /home/jason/archive/etc/etc? It wouldn't go the other way up to jason, home, etc. eh? | 00:53 |
| trueneu | Yeah, all the way to the right. | 00:53 |
| almoxarife | guest-D2hI4V: it may be easier to just create an iso of the current updated packages from a mirror, and then use the iso as a repo on the not connected? | 00:54 |
| proka | Muelli, I just changed the /etc/passwd file for the user I wanted to confine to his /home directory, instead of /bin/sh, I put in /bin/rbash. That way he is not able to change to any directory that is above his /home in filesystem. | 00:54 |
| Muelli | proka: well. that's pretty much bollocks. | 00:55 |
| === sarsaeol_ is now known as sarsaeol | ||
| proka | Muelli, Why? | 00:55 |
| Muelli | proka: I think you can just execute "bash", "dash", "sh" or any shell, really, to circumvent that. | 00:55 |
| trueneu | Can your user read something from, say, /bin/ ? | 00:55 |
| guest-D2hI4V | almoxarife, ok thanks I will google how to do that. thanks alot | 00:55 |
| proka | Muelli, Hm, didn't think of that. Let me check, I'll report back with results. | 00:56 |

| [1]lowkey | installed ubuntu as the ONLY operating system on a HD, i get the following error: out of disk. followed by grub rescue> any suggestions | 00:57 |
| Evil_Eric | ok 1 more reboot and then me and a single ubuntu guru need to figure out something about my computer hanging up on shut down and what can be done to do a soft nice shut down | 00:58 |
| Muelli | proka: so as I've said. Doing it properly involves chrooting and all. not fun. I would go for a strict default umask. What is it, that you actually want to "protect"? Other user's files? | 00:58 |
| Muelli | users'* | 00:58 |
| proka | Muelli, Yeah, I basically don't want people poking around files that don't belong to them. | 00:59 |
| Evil_Eric | ok i am back | 01:00 |
| Muelli | proka: no. That's wrong (if you "belong to them" tranlate to "assigned the users' id"). You usually want them to read files in /bin/ for example. | 01:00 |
| Evil_Eric | i need a ubuntu guru | 01:00 |
| seednode | Evil_Eric: Well, I'm not a guru, per se, but I can try to help. | 01:00 |

| seednode | Message me. | 01:01 |
| Evil_Eric | my computer is hanging up on shutdown | 01:01 |
| Muelli | proka: and I think a default installation does a good job at separating home directories from the users. If it does not, set the umask to smth more strict in /etc/rc.local or so. | 01:01 |
| Evil_Eric | seednode lets please keep this in main | 01:01 |

| Evil_Eric | yes a ton | 01:02 |
| seednode | Hm... | 01:03 |
| Evil_Eric | would a screen shot help | 01:03 |
| seednode | I'm really thinking this should be taken to PM, if only to avoid clutter. | 01:03 |
| seednode | If there are questions that need public opinion, you could always repost there. | 01:03 |
| almoxarife | [1]lowkey: simple answer, re-install, from what you say i would assume grub has no idea where the operating system is, so, there it sits at that screen | 01:03 |
| Evil_Eric | no because if you tell me something thats not right someone here will jump in and correct you not trying to be rude or make you look bad but accedents happen | 01:04 |
| seednode | Ah. | 01:04 |
| seednode | Well, I apologize to #ubuntu, then; prepare for walls of text. | 01:04 |
| trueneu | I'd look into /var/log/dmesg . | 01:04 |

| Evil_Eric | almoxarife, sure ill post it but i just switched to my amd graphics and it actually shuts down now | 01:12 |
| almoxarife | Evil_Eric: nevermind, you got it solved | 01:13 |

| LarrySteeze | Bendzi: no, it doesn't | 01:13 |
| Evil_Eric | thanks anyway though | 01:13 |
| Evgenia | LarrySteeze; "mount -t ntfs3g /dev/sda1 /mntpnt" or something like that might work | 01:14 |
| LarrySteeze | no beans | 01:14 |
| LarrySteeze | of course, I changed it to sda2, which is where windows is | 01:15 |
| Evgenia | which version of winders? | 01:15 |
| LarrySteeze | 7 | 01:15 |
| almoxarife | LarrySteeze: then mount sda2 | 01:15 |

| almoxarife | LarrySteeze: is your filebrowser nautilus? | 01:16 |
| LarrySteeze | yes | 01:16 |
| almoxarife | LarrySteeze: does it not show the partition as avail to mount? | 01:17 |
| LarrySteeze | it does not | 01:17 |
| LarrySteeze | unless I'm looking in the wrong place | 01:17 |

| Evil_Eric | thats only if you feel like having a look i dont want you to feel like im forcing to look | 01:24 |
| Cottus | brady: maybe by installing dbconfig-common | 01:24 |

| edgy | xpistos: did you check iptables -nL to see whether there any rules | 02:06 |
| troulouliou_dev | Evil_Eric, yes looks like nvidia / intel combo works differently | 02:07 |
| xpistos | I don't know anything about it but tell me what do and I will do it. | 02:07 |

| Evil_Eric | yeah from what ive read on it you guy HAVE to use bumblebee and on mine there is a work around to make the switchable graphics work right | 02:08 |

| javierf_ | Hi! I want to try cairo dock in ubuntu 12.10. I know I can install it and then start session using cairo dock instead of unity, but I have problems. I installed it throw ppa. Now I can't start it. If I run it from the dash, cairo dock preferences open but not the application, and all the preference options are grey and can't be ticked. Aditionally, if I restart I can't select a different desktop from unity in the log-in screen. If I click the ubuntu bottom | 02:17 |
| javierf_ | , I'll see other options, like cinnamon or cairo dock (but not the suboptions: with no effects, with unity...). I never installed cinnamon. And no matter if I choose a different desktop, it will have no effect, it logs in with unity. Any clue? thank!!! | 02:17 |
| jrib | CrazyZurfer: are you using ubuntu...? | 02:17 |
| xpistos | I tried upgrading her from 11.04 to 11.10 hopping that would fix the problem | 02:18 |

| CrazyZurfer | A+ | 02:18 |
| VDZ | Question. In default Ubuntu 12.04, is there a way to have the server (the entire thing, all ports, all programs) block a certain list of IPs? | 02:18 |

| samski | Hi all, I've just installed Ubuntu 12.10 afternoon. Its been working fine but the network manager applet has disappeared and I have been totally disconnected from the internet.

| CrazyZurfer | and those things (Passwords encrypted?) | 02:18 |
| jrib | CrazyZurfer: this channel is for ubuntu support. But sure, start at « man 5 passwd » | 02:19 |
| CrazyZurfer | man 5 passwd? what is that? | 02:19 |
| xpistos | right now it it back to connecting without a problem | 02:19 |
| VDZ | A bunch of incompetent Chinese people decided to 'hack' my server by attempting to authenticate to my VNC 5 times every three hours. Which is pretty harmless, but it does trigger TightVNC's 'too many incorrect logins, refusing everything' mechanism | 02:19 |
| jrib | CrazyZurfer: type it in a shell, it will give you the manual | 02:19 |
| CrazyZurfer | jrib: thanks | 02:19 |
| samski | Does anyone know how I can get the network manager back so I can connect to WiFi? Nm-applet command cannot be found. I've tried rebooting and restarting the network manager service. My install is only a few hours old.... | 02:22 |
| escott | !firewall | VDZ | 02:23 |
| ubot93 | VDZ: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. | 02:23 |
| dr_willis | err.. vnc shouldent be open to the wild internet anyway.. ssh tunnels is the way to go. | 02:23 |

| dr_willis | then you could just do a 'sudo dhclient eth0' i belive to get networking going. | 02:55 |
| dr_willis | then use that reinstall command | 02:55 |

| RiXtEr | dr_willis, does that matter for console? is there a way to just make it use default vga settings? | 03:37 |

| RiXtEr | dr_willis, never installed | 03:39 |
| dr_willis | that makes it eve weirder. | 03:39 |
| RiXtEr | dr_willis, ps ax | grep X confirms its not running too | 03:39 |
| dr_willis | RiXtEr: id ask about it in #ubuntu-server perhaps | 03:39 |
| RiXtEr | dr_willis, didn't realize there was another channel, will do, thanks! | 03:40 |
| dr_willis | there is the /etc/sysctl.conf file that can tune down the verbosity of kernel logging error/messages | 03:40 |
| dr_willis | but that may not be a good idea.. it depends on your needs i guess | 03:40 |

| tdignan | I'm using a 256 color configuration for gnome terminal. Every now and then, when I run 'less' or another command that paginates text, the whole background changes color except for under the text. Running tput reset or re-running the pager usually fixes it. Any ideas on what the problem could be? | 03:49 |

| shoopdewoop | I'm having a problem installing Ubuntu 12.10. I'm using a live usb, and I click on install, select my language, get through the preparing to install screen (are you plugged in, do you have enough space, etc), and then i get to the installation type screen. Nothing appears in the device dialogue, and when I try and click on any button (+, -, change, etc) the installer crashes. Ideas? | 04:14 |

| Thelemitian | Hello guys! Hope I'm not breaking any rule but tried to check the IRC guidelines at http://ubottu.com/y/gl and the link is broken. I was wondering if someone has tried to use Ubuntu with the 3th generation of Intel processors and compatible motheboards? I was searching online and found there might be some compatibility issues with the newest motherboards from intel | 04:19 |
| Thelemitian | http://communities.intel.com/thread/30564 | 04:19 |
| rsser | if you were install it own usb | 04:19 |
| rsser | so you get that message | 04:19 |
| Thelemitian | I'm actually interested in using BOXDZ77SL-50K - with i7-3770K | 04:20 |
| rsser | shoopdewoop, have you ever installed any ubuntu version before? are you familiarized with those procedures of installation? | 04:20 |
| Thelemitian | Yes, currently I'm using Ubuntu in my computer | 04:20 |
| Thelemitian | This is just the first time I build my own | 04:20 |
| rsser | Thelemitian, I will wait for haswell | 04:21 |
| rsser | i have | 04:21 |
| shoopdewoop | I have, but I wouldn't say I'm completely familiar :P I'd still call myself a super-noob | 04:21 |
| rsser | CPU Info: (8 CPU's - Intel Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @, 3.41 GHz, (16% Load)) | 04:21 |
| rsser | okay, shoopdewoop | 04:21 |
| rsser | shoopdewoop, I never was in similar situation | 04:22 |
| rsser | it's hard to figure it out what it is going on there | 04:23 |
| cfhowlett | Thelemitian: lacking the knowledge to provide specifics, I can only say that installing bleeding edge tech such as the latest, greatest shiny hardware OR software requires more expertise from the end user. Do your research, back up your essential data and prepare for unexpected consequences. | 04:23 |
| Thelemitian | @cfhowlett: Thanks! So it'll be better if I use older technology I guess. | 04:23 |
| shoopdewoop | rsser, yeah i looked all over ubuntuforums and i couldnt find anyone in a similar situation. so i guess if its not a common error the best thing would probably be to start by making up a fresh usb (maybe something went wacky in the install) | 04:24 |
| cfhowlett | Thelemitian: less headaches for sure. | 04:24 |
| rsser | yeah, shoopdewoop | 04:25 |
| rsser | good idea | 04:25 |

| go7enks | hey guys, I'm trying to purge ol kernels from my system. when I rundpkg -l | grep linux-image- I only see two versions, but in the grub menu I see a lot of old 2.6 version | 04:26 |
| poz | Hello, I am wondering if anyone can help me | 04:27 |
| rsser | go7enks, you have to edit the grub | 04:27 |
| poz | I want to install my /home drive as a file system that my windows 7 OS will see | 04:27 |
| rsser | go7enks, you have to edit the grub menu* | 04:27 |
| go7enks | how do I do that_ | 04:27 |
| hacking_nomad | easy way to install gimp 2.8 in ubuntu 10.04.4? | 04:28 |
| rsser | there is a tweak that it edit the grub menu | 04:28 |
| cfhowlett | poz: doable but not advisable. | 04:28 |
| poz | cfhowlett, why? | 04:28 |
| go7enks | can I remove them manually in the /boot through nautilus? | 04:28 |
| rsser | go7enks, look for tweak edit grub menu on the google | 04:28 |
| genii-around | go7enks: Or since you have already removed the linux-image packages, just rm the extraneous files in /boot and then run sudo update-grub | 04:28 |
| poz | I want to set it as NTFS but it does not have that option | 04:29 |
| go7enks | so I can safely remove them from /boot and that's it? | 04:29 |
| cfhowlett | poz: linux does a better job of maintain file system integrity than windows does. So if you're accessing your /ubuntu via windows, things get unfunny very quickly, e.g. wubi | 04:29 |
| genii-around | go7enks: Yes. | 04:30 |
| poz | I see | 04:30 |
| rsser | if you can see your /home on windows, you must use fsexplore, poz | 04:30 |
| poz | cfhowlett, do I need a /home part? | 04:30 |
| cfhowlett | poz: need? no. | 04:31 |
| poz | I have 115 gb of space, I want to allocate 40 gb to /root, and 75 gb to share between windows and ubuntu | 04:31 |
| cfhowlett | poz: personally, I keep a dedicated /home as it facilitates easy upgrades. Of course, I only do LTS installs, but still ... | 04:31 |
| go7enks | thanks guys | 04:31 |
| donnie | I'm on Zorin 6. Which uses Ubuntu 11... Is it safe to upgrade to 12? Last time I did that on my Xubuntu. I got locked out of my system | 04:32 |
| poz | what does the /home drive do? | 04:32 |
| cfhowlett | poz: I've got ubuntustudio. My /root is STILL only 6.2 g ... | 04:32 |
| genii-around | poz: /home is where all the user-specific files and settings are | 04:33 |
| poz | I dont know what that is | 04:33 |
| cfhowlett | poz: /home is where your user folders and settings are maintained | 04:33 |
| poz | oh okay | 04:33 |
| cfhowlett | poz: you do know that while windows doesn't natively see linux, linux DOES see windows/ntfs? | 04:34 |
| poz | maybe I should set 30 gb as /root, 30 gb as /home and 65 gb as somthing windows can see, leave it as free and let windows part it? | 04:34 |
| poz | yes, but I want it to be two way | 04:35 |
| poz | does not make sense the windows cant see it | 04:35 |
| user1234234 | poz, just make another partition formatted with ntfs dedicated to file transfers between win/lin. Or use a big SD card. | 04:35 |
| cfhowlett | poz: windows doesn't play well with others | 04:35 |
| poz | I do. I want there to be some shared space on my SSD | 04:35 |
| cfhowlett | poz: I like the SD card option! | 04:35 |
| poz | I have a 3 tb hd that I also use to sharing, but SSD is faster | 04:36 |
| jValentin | anyone know why a menu with child links would not be dropping down as expected? | 04:36 |

| JSF15 | I was updating some things from the updater, which too kawhile | 04:44 |

| slinkeey | I am thinking of buying a PC and I want to make sure Ubuntu will like it. | 05:12 |
| almoxarife | Jaclyn: no idea what you installed? something like 'fgrlx' ? | 05:13 |
| JSF15 | Almo, have you any knowledge of what to do know? | 05:13 |
| JSF15 | Eric? Have you? | 05:13 |
| Evil_Eric | well being that it dint bring you to your disc but to your log in screen i dont know what els to tell you except good luck | 05:13 |
| Jaclyn | Almoxarife: Yeah. Something like that. | 05:13 |
| JSF15 | Fuck. | 05:13 |
| almoxarife | JSF15: yes, i am ignoring you on the off chance your are trolling the we folk, i will feel really bad if i am wrong, not today though | 05:14 |
| JSF15 | Comrade, I swear I am not taking in part such a damned act. | 05:14 |
| JSF15 | I am simply at a total loss. | 05:15 |
| slinkeey | ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 (Curious as to if anyone is running this board with Ubuntu) | 05:15 |
| JSF15 | I came here because it is late at night, I need this laptop for classes tomorrow, and I have no idea how to unfoul it. | 05:15 |
| almoxarife | slinkeey: you would have a better response from the search on the ubuntu forum, you might actually get a hit | 05:16 |
| slinkeey | Ok | 05:16 |
| slinkeey | That's a great idea | 05:16 |
| JSF15 | At least, please tell me if you have any idea what to do next. | 05:16 |
| Evil_Eric | im trying to figure out why it dint bring you to a try ot install ubuntu screen | 05:16 |
| slinkeey | almoxarife, thank you.. .that is a good idea... | 05:16 |
| almoxarife | slinkeey: thnks :) | 05:17 |
| Jaclyn | Can someone tell me what rated bus speed is? | 05:17 |
| JSF15 | Thank ye Eric | 05:17 |
| Evil_Eric | see if everything is right it should of brought you directly to the try or install ubuntu screen | 05:17 |
| Evil_Eric | check your bios and are you sure you burned the disc as a iso these are the only 2 things that could be fouling u up | 05:18 |
| Jaclyn | Fast, please because I booted up windows and for no reason at all my cpu is running at ~90 degrees | 05:18 |
| JSF15 | I am checking my bios right now | 05:18 |
| JSF15 | The 1: slot in the 'Boot Priority order' is USB CDROM | 05:18 |
| almoxarife | Jaclyn: running windows? | 05:19 |
| Evil_Eric | then your disc may be fouled in some way | 05:19 |
| slinkeey | almoxarife, Yep.. I am getting tons of hits.. I frequent the forum often.. not sure why I didn't think to search there.. | 05:19 |
| JSF15 | So I should burn a new one. Alright. | 05:19 |
| slinkeey | almoxarife, I just went for google, then popped in here... Lazy I guess.. lol | 05:19 |
| Evil_Eric | yes but make sure it is burned as a ISO | 05:19 |
| Jaclyn | I have dual boot. I need to know what this is and if my bus speed is higher is that bad and why is my cpu so goddamn hot? | 05:19 |
| almoxarife | Jaclyn: shut it down, throw it in the freezer for a bit | 05:20 |
| Diamondcite | 90 is quite hit indeed.. is the cooling in good condition? | 05:21 |
| Jaclyn | I turned it off, but I'm not going to put it in the freezer because I like my laptop condensation free | 05:22 |
| Diamondcite | And unless you had purchased an overclocking motherboard and cpu, most computers won't let you do anything which can damage it badly in the bios.. | 05:22 |
| Evil_Eric | JSF15 i will be right back i need to reboot | 05:22 |
| Jaclyn | Everything worked just fine until I installed the drivers | 05:22 |
| JSF15 | Alright. The ISO is downloading. | 05:22 |
| Jaclyn | I haven't messed with the bios or anything. | 05:23 |
| Diamondcite | Jaclyn: Drivers... for? | 05:23 |
| Jaclyn | All I did was boot it up | 05:23 |
| Jaclyn | For my video card in ubuntu | 05:23 |
| Diamondcite | Also what the linux side does should have no effect on the windows side normally. | 05:23 |
| abhi_ | i have install 12.10 but i am facing problem when it is booted | 05:23 |
| Diamondcite | Jaclyn: Back to orignal question, you are sure you are letting your laptop cool properly? (no dust blocked vents or using it on a bed?) | 05:24 |
| Jaclyn | It must have f-ed with my bios or something. Because it was working last time I booted it up before installing the drivers | 05:24 |
| Diamondcite | Jaclyn: And now its hot in both windows and ubuntu? Or just one of them? | 05:25 |

| Diamondcite | Jaclyn: Did you by chance install the driver by 'activating' it under Additional Hardware ? | 05:26 |
| cfhowlett | there? | 05:26 |
| Jaclyn | I don't know because whenever I boot up ubuntu after installing those it does a white screen-- everything boots up, but the screen is white. And if I boot up failsafe graphics it does nothing | 05:26 |

| phix | abhi_: sure, what happened? | 05:32 |
| Diamondcite | abhi_: You did not specify what the booting problem is | 05:32 |
| Jaclyn | I dunno. I followed some guide on launchpad to install a workatound that installed an older version of xserv so the driver would be compatable with 12.10 | 05:32 |
| fxfitz | Question: I'm currently using 12.10, and I noticed when EVER I open a new window it opens in the far top left corner. | 05:32 |
| Jaclyn | Shitty ati | 05:32 |
| phix | abhi_: Does you computer make bing bong noises? | 05:32 |
| fxfitz | And then I can't move the window around. The windows bar is underneath the top menu bar. | 05:32 |
| fxfitz | Does that make sense? | 05:32 |
| fxfitz | And I can't find ANYTHING on Google. | 05:32 |

| robertzaccour | phix: I've ran it the same way I have for years in Ubuntu. This time no internet detected. | 05:35 |
| Jaclyn | Diamondcite: how? Whenever I boot up failsafe graphics it does nothing. | 05:36 |
| phix | robertzaccour: ok, well depending on that network / wireless card in your laptop you may need to install additional firmware packages | 05:36 |
| JSF15 | I am downloading the ISO with Windows XP | 05:36 |
| Diamondcite | Jaclyn: Nothing... as in no ability to login at all? Not even a generic black screen with the word login ? | 05:36 |

| h00k | bentech4you: alternative gateway magic needs to be done on the router, if it's different. | 05:40 |
| phix | robertzaccour: ok, well windows uses different drivers than linux, so you will need to know the make and model of the chip the network cards use, you do that by typing in lspci, from there you can type in IRC what they are so I can inform you if you need to download the drivers or not | 05:41 |

| almoxarife | Jaclyn: try this sudo apt-get purge fglrx* | 05:47 |
| Diamondcite | (It SHOULD put back another driver, if it doesn't need to loo deeper) | 05:47 |
| bhaiguy | abhi_: reinstall? | 05:47 |

| abhi_ | bhaiguy ... i already reinstall for 2 times | 05:47 |
| phix | Jaclyn: I use NVIDIA so I wouldn't know. Generally a better idea to use NVIDIA as the ATI drivers are usually crap. Although since AMD owns it now they are getting better | 05:47 |

| HorizonXP | as a software dev, I'm curious | 05:50 |
| abhi_ | yehh some time ,yesterday it was okk.... | 05:51 |
| almoxarife | HorizonXP: not the topic here | 05:51 |
| Jaclyn | It says ii fglrx-amdcccle-legacy. And I used sudo apt-get remove fglrx | 05:51 |
| HorizonXP | almoxarife: it's Ubuntu-related, but if you can suggest a better channel, I'm all ears. | 05:51 |
| almoxarife | Jaclyn: try this sudo apt-get purge fglrx* <-- use this | 05:51 |
| abhi_ | today onwards it is taking long time.... is there any problem with graphics driver | 05:51 |
| cybermonday | HorizonXP.. You will run into a problem when using GPL libraries to code your apps, because you'll have to include the source code, which gives your 'buyers' access to your source. | 05:51 |

| Jaclyn | Ok. Now it's removing three pakages. | 05:52 |
| abhi_ | diamondcite... is there any solution for this | 05:53 |
| almoxarife | Jaclyn: when done, reboot | 05:53 |
| Jaclyn | Ok | 05:53 |
| almoxarife | Jaclyn: that should leave your drivers at default | 05:53 |
| Diamondcite | abhi_: Unless the service which is causing it to take a long time is known kinda hard.. and I'm too tired.. please try someone else... Question:"System recently started taking several minutes to boot" | 05:54 |
| rsser | what would you install on your machine if you had 12GB ram, i7 2600K processor, 2TB of hard disk? | 05:54 |
| antonio_ | anyone in here use openshot? | 05:54 |
| abhi_ | ok thanks | 05:54 |
| abhi_ | System recently started taking several minutes to boot | 05:54 |
| Evil_Eric | watch jsf15 come back screaming bout a virus or something now | 05:54 |
| rsser | abhi_? is it linux? | 05:54 |
| JSF15_ | burning the ISO to a disc with InfraRecorder, Eric | 05:55 |
| JSF15_ | Pardon? | 05:55 |
| Evil_Eric | :P | 05:55 |
| abhi_ | rsser ubuntu 12.10 | 05:55 |
| JSF15_ | Oh, GOD let this work. | 05:55 |
| JSF15_ | It worked once 'fore. | 05:55 |
| Evil_Eric | right | 05:55 |
| JSF15_ | Pardon? | 05:55 |
| cfhowlett | antonio_: yes. | 05:55 |
| cfhowlett | antonio_: openshot is verrry nice. | 05:55 |
| cybermonday | HorizonXP: You can charge whatever you want for your apps, but if you use GPL code you'll have to provide the source code. And it only takes 1 person to clone your source and mirror it. Then why would they buy your copy? | 05:55 |
| JSF15_ | Oh lord please maintain my credibility. | 05:55 |
| almoxarife | abhi_: install 'bootchart' , look at it after boot, also view /var/log/syslog and kern.log for something obvious | 05:55 |
| Evil_Eric | dose infracorder have a burn iso setting | 05:55 |
| antonio_ | cfhowlett: for some reason my audio/video isn't syncing | 05:55 |
| JSF15_ | The tutorial on YouTube used it | 05:56 |
| Evil_Eric | cool | 05:56 |
| JSF15_ | Eric though, what were you saying about registration numbers for powerISO? | 05:56 |
| Evil_Eric | hope the tutorial is right | 05:56 |
| Jaclyn | Alrighty. That seems to work. Imma log out on my phone and log back in on my comp. Thanks everyone <3 | 05:56 |
| robertzaccour | ok on my phone now | 05:56 |
| cybermonday | <I've been there done that. I used to run an open source app store. Didn't make any money. :-( | 05:56 |
| abhi_ | rsser ok | 05:56 |
| Evil_Eric | there in your pm | 05:56 |
| cfhowlett | antonio_: can't say I've encountered that particular fail. I'd suggest rebooting and shutting off unneeded apps/processing to maximize ram. | 05:56 |
| JSF15_ | My PM, if that was our private chat, iis gone. | 05:57 |
| HorizonXP | cybermonday: my design/graphics assets could help with that | 05:57 |
| HorizonXP | those aren't covered by GPL and can be copyrighted | 05:57 |
| HorizonXP | perhaps I can differentiate based on that | 05:57 |
| antonio_ | cfhowlett:its not that...if I just play the clip its fine. But if I try to fast forward to any point it gets all wonky | 05:57 |
| robertzaccour | on my toshiba satellite S855-S5378 internet isnt detected | 05:57 |
| HorizonXP | I'm thinking out loud here, not saying what would happen one way or the other | 05:57 |
| cybermonday | HorizonXP, in that case, The more non-gpl code you use the better, which means you reveal less of your source. | 05:58 |
| almoxarife | robertzaccour: on a livecd, correct? | 05:58 |
| cfhowlett | antonio_: all I can suggest is that you contact the developer. See the help/about tab | 05:58 |
| HorizonXP | cybermonday: TBH, I'm a fan of the GPL, just that there must be some way to write GPL code + make money | 05:58 |
| robertzaccour | wye | 05:58 |
| robertzaccour | yes | 05:59 |
| JSF15_ | Alright, I wish not to take anyone elses time. I will be leaving now, hoping I can fix this. | 05:59 |
| JSF15_ | Thank you all so much for your help, particularly Eric. | 05:59 |
| JSF15_ | THanks mate. | 05:59 |
| JSF15_ | Good evening to you all. | 05:59 |
| Evil_Eric | np | 05:59 |
| Evil_Eric | hope it all works out | 05:59 |
| cybermonday | HorizonXP..You can combine open source with hardware and sell the hardware. | 05:59 |
| cybermonday | That's how they sell android with tablets | 06:00 |
| almoxarife | robertzaccour: open a terminal, run 'lspci' , does either your ethernet or wifi show? | 06:00 |
| HorizonXP | cybermonday: errr... lol. I was trying to restrict myself to the Ubuntu Software Centre. There must be some way to make money on there. | 06:00 |
| robertzaccour | almoxarife on live yes | 06:01 |
| antonio_ | cfhowlett: ah..framerate wasn't right :D | 06:01 |
| antonio_ | thanks | 06:01 |
| cybermonday | HorizonXP, most ubuntu libraries are gpl licenced. so you'll have to provide the source code. | 06:01 |
| almoxarife | robertzaccour: 'yes' ? using what you got running, yes | 06:01 |

| ubot93 | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 06:02 |
| HorizonXP | cybermonday: don't think Canonical have figured that one out yet either! | 06:02 |
| almoxarife | HorizonXP: enough already | 06:02 |
| HorizonXP | almoxarife: I asked before what was a better channel. You didn't respond. | 06:03 |
| cybermonday | HorizonXP, you would need to code the main routines in non-gpl licensed code and only link to gpl libraries. | 06:03 |
| HorizonXP | I did not know about #ubuntu-offtopic | 06:03 |
| almoxarife | HorizonXP: its not here! | 06:03 |
| HorizonXP | almoxarife: I disagree, but I'm happy to take it to OT | 06:03 |

| robertzaccour | almoxarife yes i intend to. if i can get internet going that is | 06:14 |
| almoxarife | robertzaccour: can you get yourself connected via ethernet? | 06:15 |
| Savage_CL | I was thinking #ubuntu-mythtv | 06:15 |
| Savage_CL | but nobody is there >.< | 06:15 |
| robertzaccour | almoxarife no | 06:15 |
| JSF15 | Alright, I return one more time to try and do this, Eric. | 06:16 |
| JSF15 | I burned the ISO to disc succesfully | 06:17 |
| almoxarife | robertzaccour: i cant get around a fix to livecd having any bearing on the actual install, | 06:17 |
| Savage_CL | Also, nobody is saying anything in mythtv | 06:17 |
| Savage_CL | err | 06:17 |
| Savage_CL | xbmc | 06:17 |
| JSF15 | And I came back because, frankly, I absolutely paranoid I might screw up at this point. | 06:17 |
| JSF15 | Hoping you could guide me the last few steps/ | 06:17 |
| robertzaccour | almoxarife i just assumed the cards are the problem | 06:18 |
| almoxarife | robertzaccour: here is the thing, installing ubuntu via the 'mini.iso' is the most complete install, but without ethernet it wont work, i cant think how the wifi would get around to connecting | 06:18 |
| robertzaccour | almoxarife talk about getting dealt a bad hand haha | 06:18 |
| Jaclyn | Did I mention that I love you guys? | 06:19 |
| JSF15 | Is Evil Eric still here? | 06:19 |
| almoxarife | Jaclyn: i am guessing you have something working | 06:19 |
| robertzaccour | almoxarife i thought about returning it but i got it for a great deal. i7 8 GB RAM bluetooth | 06:20 |
| zebro09 | JSF15 What are you installing? | 06:20 |
| JSF15 | reinstalling 12.04 | 06:20 |
| robertzaccour | almoxarife 679 | 06:20 |
| almoxarife | robertzaccour: dont return it, you said it has windows? | 06:20 |
| JSF15 | or, trying to | 06:20 |
| JSF15 | So far with no success at all. | 06:20 |
| robertzaccour | almoxarife yes | 06:20 |
| zebro09 | what step are you on? | 06:21 |
| Jaclyn | Yes | 06:21 |
| almoxarife | robertzaccour: look at a wubi install, | 06:21 |
| Jaclyn | I'm all loaded up in xubuntu | 06:21 |
| Jaclyn | Display is working awesome | 06:21 |
| JSF15 | Zebro: This is my situation: I messed up in the updating to 12.10 somehow, and now when I log on, I have only a blank desktop with a cursor. | 06:21 |
| Jaclyn | Now I just need to figure out some way to make minecraft run faster | 06:21 |
| JSF15 | So I am trying to reinstall 12.04 | 06:21 |
| JSF15 | However, the disc I'd used before that does not seem to work. | 06:22 |
| robertzaccour | almoxarife i dont wubi. its linux wrapped in windows. | 06:22 |
| JSF15 | I put the disc in, rebooted the laptop, and it just brought me back to the log in screen | 06:22 |
| almoxarife | robertzaccour: no, actually its not | 06:22 |
| JSF15 | I redownloaded the ISO, burned a new disk, and just put it in and rebooted | 06:22 |
| robertzaccour | almoxarife really? | 06:22 |
| JSF15 | And again, it just took me to my loading screen. | 06:22 |
| JSF15 | I do now know what to do. | 06:22 |
| zebro09 | JSF15 when you get to that screen try ctrl+alt+F1, that will take you to a terminal then try typing startx | 06:23 |
| JSF15 | If you do, bless you. | 06:23 |
| JSF15 | type 'startx'? | 06:23 |
| Jaclyn | Anyway | 06:23 |
| zebro09 | yeah | 06:23 |
| almoxarife | robertzaccour: the only part of win that wubi uses when running is the ntfs, that matters only because linux can not repair the ntfs if its crippled in any way | 06:23 |
| JSF15 | Did that | 06:23 |
| JSF15 | It just took me to the desktop | 06:23 |
| JSF15 | Same as before, a blank desktop with just wallpaper and a cursor | 06:24 |
| Jaclyn | So I installed lm-sensors, so I can read my temp. and my temp is at a relatively safe 75C while running mIRC in wine and firefox. Is there any way that I can add the temperature to resource monitor and the resource monitor widgit dealie for my panel? | 06:24 |
| JSF15 | It then just asked me to enter my password to unlock my keyring | 06:24 |
| JSF15 | I entered it, nothing happened | 06:24 |
| zebro09 | can you get back out to the log in screen | 06:25 |
| JSF15 | If I restart the computer, yes. | 06:25 |
| zebro09 | I think ctrl D gets you to log out | 06:26 |
| JSF15 | Well, I'm at my login screen | 06:26 |
| JSF15 | Now what? | 06:26 |
| zebro09 | there should be a button for sessions | 06:27 |
| robertzaccour | almoxarife i clicked wubi restarted but its just windows still. thanks anyways. going to sleep now | 06:27 |
| JSF15 | one moment | 06:27 |
| zebro09 | JSF15 what desktop environment did you install? | 06:28 |
| munderwo-work | Hi all, Im having some issues with packaging.. is there a seperate IRC channel for packaging? | 06:28 |
| JSF15 | environment? | 06:28 |
| JSF15 | And zebro, I see no button for session. | 06:28 |
| JSF15 | There is an option that says 'Guest Session' which is below my login | 06:29 |
| almoxarife | JSF15: excellent option, go for it | 06:30 |
| Evil_Eric | howdy nerd | 06:30 |
| nerd | Evil_Eric: hi :) | 06:30 |

| Evil_Eric | oh your back jsf15 | 06:31 |
| zebro09 | there you go maybe he can help you now | 06:31 |
| JSF15 | almo: I have clicked on guest session, | 06:31 |
| nerd | nerd: feeling light and tension free :D | 06:31 |
| almoxarife | JSF15: great, | 06:31 |
| JSF15 | Same result as logging onto my account, however just a different wallpaper | 06:31 |
| almoxarife | JSF15: great, | 06:31 |
| nerd | Evil_Eric: feeling light and tension free :) | 06:31 |
| nerd | i was wondering that similart to LFS can i build ubuntu ? | 06:32 |
| JSF15 | Almo? Do you have any more ideas at all? | 06:32 |
| almoxarife | JSF15: great, | 06:32 |
| JSF15 | Pardon sir? | 06:32 |
| bazhang | !minimal | nerd | 06:32 |
| ubot93 | nerd: 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). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 06:32 |
| JSF15 | I am going to make the assumption from the silence in my direction that assistance has run dry in this perplexing problem? | 06:33 |
| almoxarife | JSF15: great, | 06:33 |
| JSF15 | Don't mock me, please. | 06:33 |
| zebro09 | JSF15 I haven't used ubuntu in a while, but what other options at log in? | 06:33 |
| JSF15 | I mean no offense. | 06:34 |
| bazhang | JSF15, install gnome-panel and then fix your drivers | 06:34 |
| JSF15 | Zebro, the only options are to log into my account or the user account | 06:34 |
| JSF15 | How do I install gnome-panel? | 06:34 |
| bazhang | JSF15, or log into recovery mode and do the same | 06:34 |
| neodragon | hello, I know this is probably a silly question, but how long are the repos for a specific version of ubuntu available after release. I am installing ubuntu 10.04 on a 1GHz PII laptop for my daughter and was just wondering if the repos would still be availabel after it is no longer officially supported? | 06:34 |
| bazhang | JSF15, JUST The same as installing all Other software | 06:34 |
| JSF15 | I have to use terminal then, | 06:35 |
| JSF15 | Since I cannot use any other interface | 06:35 |
| bazhang | !software | JSF15 please have a read about this | 06:35 |
| JSF15 | What is the command to install gnome panel? | 06:35 |
| ubot93 | JSF15 please have a read about this: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents | 06:35 |
| JSF15 | Bazhang, I cannot use any of the the ubuntu interfaces. | 06:36 |
| JSF15 | This is my problem. | 06:36 |
| JSF15 | The desktop is totally blank. | 06:36 |
| bazhang | JSF15, you have a tty, sure you can | 06:36 |
| bazhang | log in, then install | 06:36 |
| JSF15 | A tty? | 06:36 |
| bazhang | neodragon, 3 years for support, so April 2013 no more security updates | 06:37 |
| JSF15 | The only way I can do ANYTHING in ubuntu as it is, is through terminal via alt+ctrl+F1 | 06:37 |
| zebro09 | JSF15 ctrl alt f1 | 06:37 |
| zebro09 | thats a tty | 06:37 |
| JSF15 | Yes, I have done this | 06:37 |
| gurrag | how can I install the `mkpasswd` command in Ubuntu? | 06:37 |
| JSF15 | What is the code then to install gnome panel? | 06:37 |
| JSF15 | Sorry, I am quite tired right now. | 06:37 |
| zebro09 | gnome panel | 06:38 |
| bazhang | JSF15, read the links I have given you | 06:38 |
| zebro09 | sorry didn't mean that | 06:38 |
| bazhang | !apt-get | JSF15 | 06:38 |
| ubot93 | JSF15: 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) | 06:38 |
| goddard | can anyone tell me what this is http://pastebin.com/9jaFj2bh | 06:38 |
| bazhang | neodragon, 12.04 is a LTS, but with 5 years support for desktop | 06:39 |
| neodragon | but what about the repos for 10.04, will I still be able to install things from them even after official support has stopped next year? This laptop is for my 10 year old daughter | 06:40 |
| JSF15 | bazhang, I'm sorry. I don't know what I'm looking for in these links | 06:41 |
| JSF15 | Perhaps I'm just too tired, but this is all over my head | 06:41 |
| hceylan | is there a way to keep xchat from closing in unity and to minimize to indicator, | 06:41 |
| hceylan | The way emphaty behaves? | 06:41 |
| goddard | netflix finally works on Linux | 06:41 |
| zebro09 | goddard sorta | 06:42 |
| JSF15 | Anyway, I am through for the night. | 06:42 |
| JSF15 | I need to sleep. | 06:42 |
| JSF15 | Thank you all. | 06:42 |
| bazhang | neodragon, did you mean after they are no longer available? when unsupported repos need to use old-releases repos to upgrade to the next version? | 06:42 |
| JSF15 | Good night to you all | 06:42 |
| Evil_Eric | hahaha goddard im in the midle of reinstaling the netflix app for ubuntu | 06:42 |
| zebro09 | better luck tomorrow JSF15 | 06:42 |
| Evil_Eric | night jsf | 06:42 |
| almoxarife | JSF15: great, | 06:43 |
| almoxarife | :) | 06:43 |
| Evil_Eric | almoxarife, make sure i never try to help anyone again please | 06:43 |
| nerd | bazhang: can't i build it from scratch like lfs ? | 06:44 |
| almoxarife | Evil_Eric: my guess, that was trolling, no one could be that dense yet chatty | 06:44 |
| bazhang | nerd, sure, but that's not what Ubuntu is about. You can do whatever you wish, as it's all GNU/LINUX | 06:44 |
| Evil_Eric | that was almost to a point where i wish i had another ip to swap to with another nick or 5 | 06:45 |
| neodragon | bazhang: no, what I mean is this laptop is old enough that I will not be able to upgrade beyond 10.04, so my question was are the repos for 10.04 still going to be available if my daughter wants to install something after the Apr 2013 end of support or do they will they take down those repos? | 06:45 |
| bazhang | lets get back on topic please | 06:45 |
| bazhang | neodragon, end of support does indeed mean that, in all senses of the word. | 06:46 |
| bazhang | neodragon, there will be a window to Upgrade using different repos (the next higher supported versions) | 06:46 |
| Nom- | Hey guys... checkinstall on Precise is giving me some grief... On Lucid I could use --fstrans=0 to get this installer to work, now it's failing with being unable to change directories and all kinds of stuff. Any ideas on how I might resolve that? | 06:46 |
| neodragon | bazhang: OK good to know, so If she wants to install someting from the 10.04 repos she had better do it before then | 06:47 |
| neodragon | because she won't be upgrading that laptop to a higher version then 10.04 bazhang, besides by the time she will want to upgrade, I will have a better laptop for her anyway | 06:48 |
| zebro09 | hmm, just my floppy drive is showing up in my devices as mounted, but umount floppy says it isn't mounted. Any ideas? | 06:48 |
| almoxarife | floppy? | 06:49 |
| zebro09 | i know I don't have one | 06:49 |
| zebro09 | it shows up under lsmod. It wont blacklist either | 06:50 |
| almoxarife | zebro09: so, what is on the floppy? | 06:50 |
| zebro09 | I don't have a floppy drive | 06:51 |
| almoxarife | ok | 06:51 |
| jackbrownhf | IS anyone available to help me? is there anyone available to help me? | 06:52 |
| zebro09 | it keeps clogging up my log with a buffer I\O error, otherwise I wouldn't care | 06:53 |

| sgo11 | how to check whether a service is started at boot time or not? I tried chkconfig, it doesn't really give me the right answer. for instance, mongod is started automatically at boot time. but chkconfig returns off and it can not be found in /etc/rc2.d/ either. thanks | 07:53 |
| zebro09 | sgoll does it show up in top? | 07:56 |
| sgo11 | zebro09: yeah. it shows up in ps -ef too. I am just wondering how mongod gets started. | 07:57 |
| zebro09 | it might be in the log file | 07:57 |
| zebro09 | do you want it to start on boot? | 07:57 |
| sgo11 | zebro09: it's not really the question. I just want to know how it gets started. because I can not find it under /etc/rc*.d/. chkconfig returns off. do you have any ideas? thanks. | 07:59 |

| HaiKaiDo | hey guys i have a question about trackpad issues in 10.04 | 08:02 |
| HaiKaiDo | Im still using 10.04 on my google chromebook Cr-48 cause it runs best and i like Gnome 2 | 08:02 |
| Kartagis | sgo11: besides, chkconfig is a centos thing afaik | 08:02 |
| HaiKaiDo | but for whatever reason, theres no trackpad settings for me to change | 08:02 |
| HaiKaiDo | everything works except theres no form of trackpad scroll | 08:02 |
| HaiKaiDo | left and right click work. but no two finger scroll or right quadrant scroll | 08:03 |
| sgo11 | Kartagis: it can be installed in ubuntu. but it doesn't really matter. I can not find how mongod gets started... | 08:03 |
| HaiKaiDo | I noticed that on everything 11.xx and above I have scroll | 08:04 |
| HaiKaiDo | is there anything i can grab from those newer distros to make my trackpad work? | 08:04 |
| rolandow | good morning! :-) | 08:05 |
| rolandow | i have a question .. would run ubuntu run better on an apple macbook pro, than on any other laptop? | 08:05 |
| rolandow | because i had a job interview with a company who wants to buy macbook pro's to run ubuntu on .. but then i was wondering: what's the advantage of having a macbook pro then? | 08:06 |
| sgo11 | I think I found how. it's under /etc/init/mongodb.conf. if this is the case, which command can show a list of all autostart services? I don't think one such command exist in ubuntu... | 08:06 |
| HaiKaiDo | rolandow that seems like a huge waste of money | 08:06 |
| rolandow | HaiKaiDo: exactly my idea! | 08:06 |
| HaiKaiDo | because its not like theyre ideal for running linux on | 08:07 |
| rolandow | wouldn't i be better of if they would spend the same money on a better laptop? :) | 08:07 |
| === Guest13315 is now known as Adeel | ||
| HaiKaiDo | theres plenty of cheaper windows targeted laptops that would blow the macbook pro hardware outta the water for the target of running ubuntu | 08:07 |
| rolandow | right.. it's probably even less compatible then non-apple laptops, right? | 08:07 |
| === Adeel is now known as Guest59838 | ||
| rolandow | right.. | 08:07 |
| rolandow | especially for that kind of money ;-) | 08:08 |
| HaiKaiDo | yeah lol | 08:08 |
| HaiKaiDo | what a waste | 08:08 |
| rolandow | ok .. so then i better ask if i am allowed to spend the same money on a laptop and choose one myself :) | 08:08 |
| HaiKaiDo | lol you should | 08:09 |

| bkc_ | kelabot: sudo apt-get install build-essentials ... everything else in that question is off-topic :) | 08:37 |
| belgianguy | kelabot: Eclipse, also #eclipse | 08:37 |
| bkc_ | belgianguy: don't encourage someone to code C++ in Eclipse... it's insane ;P | 08:39 |
| usr13 | What can I use to open wps document? | 08:39 |
| hacking_nomad | kelabot: i don't think it's an easy process. | 08:39 |
| hacking_nomad | kelabot: there's a big process involved off memory. | 08:39 |
| bkc_ | usr13: wps as in Works? both openoffice and libreoffice can open those :) | 08:40 |
| kelabot | hacking_nomad what do you mean? | 08:40 |
| usr13 | (Microsoft Works document). | 08:40 |
| bkc_ | hacking_nomad: what are you talking about? | 08:40 |
| hacking_nomad | kelabot: it needs to be reviewed and approved etc. | 08:40 |
| belgianguy | ? | 08:40 |
| belgianguy | he asked about a C++ IDE | 08:40 |
| usr13 | Filter Selection? (for wps, Microsoft Works document). | 08:40 |
| kelabot | hahaa | 08:41 |
| bkc_ | hacking_nomad: he's refering to build his own app, not _for_ ubuntu :P | 08:41 |
| kelabot | actually i was just asking about c++ on ubuntu, if there are anything i should read or where to start with | 08:41 |
| hacking_nomad | he said deploy an application for ubuntu? | 08:41 |
| bkc_ | hacking_nomad: nope, _in_ | 08:41 |
| hacking_nomad | i assumed you meant get it approved and into the ubuntu repos. sorry, my bad. | 08:42 |
| bkc_ | and nothing about deploying | 08:42 |
| belgianguy | kelabot: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/moreinfo/c.php | 08:42 |
| hacking_nomad | i must be delusional. | 08:42 |
| hacking_nomad | lol | 08:42 |
| kelabot | hahah | 08:43 |
| bkc_ | belgianguy: seriously thou, don't recommend eclipse for C/C++-development to a beginner... | 08:43 |
| kelabot | thanks guys, i'll check on that | 08:43 |
| belgianguy | bkc_: why not? | 08:43 |
| bkc_ | and why point to the download-page when it's in the repo, a better link would be the about/info-page | 08:43 |
| bkc_ | because Eclipse isn't made for C/C++... it's made for java, and then some idiot slapped on some c-support with ducttape... | 08:44 |
| belgianguy | pff | 08:44 |
| belgianguy | it's a tool that has come a long way, and for starting out, he'll do just fine | 08:44 |
| belgianguy | I'm not going to suggest emacs or vim | 08:45 |
| bkc_ | I wasn't either (thou I was thinking about it for more than a second ;P)... but there are better suited IDEs for C/C++ | 08:46 |
| bkc_ | but for a beginner I'd actually suggest a texteditor of choice and a terminal :) | 08:46 |
| daggs1-work | kdevelop is as good c++ ide | 08:46 |

| zetheroo | Jaclyn: no | 08:57 |
| Kartagis | zetheroo: has yours been fixed? | 08:58 |
| Jaclyn | But you say the exact same applet works in windows? | 08:58 |
| raesi | which kraft | 08:58 |
| zetheroo | Jaclyn: basically it is meant to allow me to access the domain controller which is behind the hardware firewall at the company I work at | 08:59 |
| Jaclyn | Because if I am remembering correctly, the detector class watches for buttons and whatnot | 08:59 |
| Jaclyn | zetheroo: but what I asked is does the exact same applet work in windows? because I know Java, but not a whole lot about linux | 08:59 |
| zetheroo | Jaclyn: yes, in Windows it works fine ... the applet is simply something which is somewhere on the remote side which is used to perform the remote session | 09:00 |
| raesi | hi friends plz help me http://paste.ubuntu.com/1391171/ | 09:00 |
| xx4h | und re =) | 09:00 |
| zetheroo | Jaclyn: all I do is enter a link in the browser and it takes me to the gateway where I login, then select the remote system I need to access and then another window opens and this is when I see this Java stuff coming up in the terminal | 09:01 |
| Jaclyn | zetheroo: because from it telling me that it cannot find the detector class, the only thing that I can think is someone's Java is messed up somewhere. I would try to update/reinstall Java on your end and see if that helps, otherwise, that's really where my experiance ends | 09:02 |
| zetheroo | so at the time of accessing a remote machine it seems it's being handled by Java ... and in the output there is a line referring to an applet not loading | 09:02 |
| Jaclyn | Well, the reason that the applet isn't loading is because it can't find the reasources that it needs to start. When was the last time you tried this in windows? | 09:02 |

| zetheroo | Kartagis: in Synaptic which version on Flash do you have installed? | 09:18 |
| zetheroo | Jordan_U: do I need to remove OpenJDK before installing Oracle Java? | 09:19 |

| jerardwack | Hi guys. I need help. All torrent clients on my server use only 100 mb network speed, but I have 1 GB. And this is 1GB work right | 09:20 |
| zetheroo | Kartagis: then this is what Chrome should be using | 09:20 |
| Kartagis | zetheroo: 11.2.202 to be specific | 09:20 |
| zChris | is there no alternative install for i386 ? | 09:20 |

| zChris | the ordinary desktop iso fails to install for me | 09:20 |
| zChris | 12.04 btw | 09:21 |
| zetheroo | Kartagis: can you pls check why Chrome says that it has 2 files for it's Flash plugin? | 09:21 |
| Sven_vB | hi | 09:21 |
| poglesbyg | Hi Sven! | 09:21 |
| Kartagis | zetheroo: how do I check that? | 09:22 |

| zetheroo | Kartagis: uhm ... what do you mean? It was in your screenshot ... | 09:27 |
| auronandace | zetheroo: pepper is the api for chrome, chrome's builtin flash | 09:27 |
| zetheroo | auronandace: then why have I never seen it in my Chrome browsers? | 09:28 |
| Kartagis | zetheroo: it wasn't me who installed it. it must have come with Chrome. and the video doesn't play | 09:28 |
| zetheroo | Kartagis: what version on Chrome do you have and how did you install it? | 09:28 |
| auronandace | zetheroo: if you've installed flash via the package manager then that is default | 09:29 |
| auronandace | zetheroo: pepper is only in chrome (not chromium) | 09:29 |
| zetheroo | auronandace: ah, this makes sense ... since I only use Chromium :P | 09:29 |
| auronandace | zetheroo: me too | 09:30 |

| auronandace | Kartagis: you should | 09:30 |

| Kartagis | I gave up on Chromium long time ago because Flash kept crashing on me. Version 23.0.1271.64 Chrome | 09:32 |
| zetheroo | Kartagis: if the software is not available via Synaptic and there are no decent PPA's then maybe I will look elsewhere | 09:32 |
| auronandace | Kartagis: anything you install from outside the repos we cant support here | 09:32 |
| taherAbdo | how to get another version of this liberary installed on my machien | 09:32 |

| Sven_vB | akw_, then i don't know. i'd have to find and read the install instructions, maybe you can find better ones. however, if you're new to ubuntu, rather try and find a binary package, then install that with help of file-roller. | 09:51 |

| Jordan_U | zimi: You're welcome :) | 09:51 |
| almoxarife | !info file-roller | 09:52 |
| ubot93 | file-roller (source: file-roller): archive manager for GNOME. In component main, is optional. Version 3.6.1.1-0ubuntu1 (quantal), package size 338 kB, installed size 2252 kB | 09:52 |
| Sven_vB | akw_, i think the menu calls it "Archive Manager". in this usage, it is a program that provides an "Install" button when you give it a .deb package. | 09:53 |
| nerd | Jordan_U: are the repos of lubuntu, xubuntu or ubuntu are same ?? i assume they are same right ? | 09:53 |
| almoxarife | Sven_vB: sure about that? | 09:53 |
| akw_ | Sven_vB: thanks very much for your help , i appriciate it | 09:53 |
| Sven_vB | almoxarife, last time i tried, it did. | 09:53 |
| evidex | nerd: the repos are the same | 09:53 |
| nerd | evidex: cool | 09:53 |
| Sven_vB | akw_, btw, if you happen to have a shell open, you can more simply install with just dpkg -i setup.de | 09:54 |
| Sven_vB | .deb | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip | akw_: if you use the CLI method, you may need to run: sudo apt-get -f install to satisfy deps | 09:55 |
| almoxarife | !gdebi | 09:55 |
| ubot93 | deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. | 09:55 |
| akw_ | Sven_vB: unfortunately it doesn't have .deb extenstion | 09:55 |
| ActionParsnip | akw_: the extension doesn't mean much, if it is a deb file then it will install | 09:55 |
| ActionParsnip | akw_: you could rename it to jpg, the data doesn't change | 09:56 |
| Sven_vB | akw_, that's why i suggested to look for a binary package. it should have .deb then. | 09:56 |
| akw_ | ok | 09:56 |
| akw_ | thanks | 09:56 |
| GotCoffee | Hi, can someone explain the difference between e2fsck -c and e2fsck -cc to me? | 09:56 |

| ActionParsnip | GotCoffee: read the man page? | 09:57 |
| almoxarife | GotCoffee: the second has two 'c''s? | 09:57 |
| GotCoffee | ActionParsnip: That's where I got the command from but I don't understand the explanation. It says -cc uses a non-destructive read write test. Does that mean -c would destroy my data on the drive? | 09:58 |

Thing is, I'm using this adapter also to resolve dns's back in (apache development server is *.dev). When I load up ubuntu the vboxnet0 adapter disappears and I have to load up my virtualbox to get it back again. Is there anyway to get it to always be there without having to fire up the virtualbox? or is there a smarter way to resolv | 11:21 |

| ubot93 | linux_lover: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 12:01 |
| iceroot | !clone | linux_lover | 12:01 |
| ubot93 | linux_lover: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this currently may cause problems with multiarch) - See also !automate | 12:01 |

| Stars- | good morning folks, what is the cmd to change root password? i did tried su passwd root, but didn't work | 12:12 |
| MonkeyDust | Stars- there is no root password, there's sudo | 12:12 |
| linjiahao | hi | 12:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Stars-: just use: sudo -i if you want a root prompt | 12:13 |
| jrib | !root | Stars- | 12:13 |
| ubot93 | Stars-: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 12:13 |
| ActionParsnip | !noroot | 12:13 |
| ubot93 | We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 12:13 |

| ActionParsnip | linux_lover: if you set a blank password, it won't bother you | 13:08 |
| k1l | [awall]: and can you show the command that you typed to get that message? | 13:08 |
| linux_lover | how do you do that? | 13:09 |
| ahhughes | will try that ActionParsnip , cheers :) you'll make my tv experience so much better until I can buy a new hdd | 13:09 |
| ActionParsnip | linux_lover: use the passwords or security app in your menu. I forget the exact name | 13:09 |
| linux_lover | that is not helping a lot i have to admit | 13:10 |
| ActionParsnip | i love it when I have to exactly spoonfeed user, so much fun | 13:10 |
| k1l | linux_lover: take a look at the message why its popping up. most times its to get the wifi password. that is an easy fix | 13:10 |

| ActionParsnip | [awall]: its a quick command | 13:14 |
| linux_lover | my keyring functions as normal, but I just want to disable it. | 13:14 |
| ActionParsnip | linux_lover: then set a blank password for it | 13:15 |
| ActionParsnip | linux_lover: have a look through your menus | 13:15 |

| dr_willis | are the gnome-keyring-* apps hwere | 13:18 |
| dr_willis | under seahorse - use the view - by keyring, then in the login item - right click and you can change the default password for the whole keyring - i belive | 13:18 |
| [awall] | how to inet6 addr commands in shell unofficial ?? | 13:19 |
| dr_willis | change the password, and set the new one to be just blank. (just hit enter) | 13:19 |

| belgianguy | but can I see this information split up somewhere, eg if I have 2 x 2GB or 1x 4GB | 13:22 |
| dr_willis | linux_lover: there is no next step. It says you are using unencrypted stuff.. and warns you.. and you are done. | 13:22 |

| ActionParsnip | nicolenicole: what make and model laptop??? What video chip??? | 13:27 |
| nicolenicole | AMD I think? | 13:27 |
| nicolenicole | I noticed the proprietary drivers don't show up either | 13:27 |
| ActionParsnip | nicolenicole: what video chip do you use? | 13:27 |
| nicolenicole | AMD? | 13:27 |
| nicolenicole | I don't know? | 13:27 |
| k1l | nicolenicole: did you install the drivers from the ubuntu repo ord downloaded them form a website? | 13:28 |

| ct529 | ActionParsnip: it is ALREADY set toi false | 13:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Sonderblade: yes, there is only a 32bit binary, but your OS is multiarch, so you can run 32bit app in 64bit OS | 13:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Sonderblade: you will need to run: sudo apt-get -f install to pull in about 70Mb of deps so that it can run | 13:44 |
| ActionParsnip | ct529: you will need to find out what needs setting, but its configured in that file. Remember to run: sudo update-grub after you make a change | 13:45 |

| nicolenicole | I got it fixed, apparently Ubuntu 12.10 is not compatable with older AMD/ATI graphics cards? I simply uninstalled fglrx and everything went back to normal, but will that affect my computer's performance now? | 14:22 |

| k1l | nicolenicole: most times they have better feature support. like better 3d and external modi etc. | 14:25 |
| nongoogle | jrib it shows it in the network section of the list of locations 'bookmarked' in the right hand tab | 14:26 |
| nicolenicole | will I have problems now that I've uninstalled fglrx? | 14:26 |
| k1l | nicolenicole: but the prop. driver drop old cards (like you mentioned) so you have to go with it. | 14:26 |

| Pici | bhenry: just do /bin/pwd/ > /some/location 2>&1 | 14:36 |
| Pici | bhenry: that'll send output to /some/location and also push stderr to the same place stdout is going. | 14:36 |

| Toph2 | insmod_,,, could you pleas post that again,, i think it was missing a part | 15:22 |
| TobiasTheViking | seriously... 50% cpu from xorg running just two apps(terminal and system monitor) | 15:22 |
| TobiasTheViking | i've been seeing this ever since i upgraded to 12.10 | 15:23 |
| TobiasTheViking | anyone else seeing this | 15:23 |
| pestilence | compdoc: i don't think it's entirely client settings. the fonts in gnome-terminal are just wrong....it's using some non-fixed width font. | 15:23 |
| === mimor_ is now known as mimor | ||
| === mimor is now known as mimor_ | ||
| compdoc | pestilence, oh yeah - in the terminal, turn off the fixed width font | 15:23 |
| ActionParsnip | samski: I have a PPA for precise, not quantal. Gima a sec | 15:23 |
| minimec | TobiasTheViking: I would do such kind of tests with 'top' or 'htop'. Enjoy the difference... | 15:23 |
| === insmod_ is now known as insmod | ||
| Guest5173 | insmod have tried chown it only changes folder permission but the properties menu keeps putting s line acorss in the file access permissions and it wont accept anything else | 15:23 |
| hondusa | actionparsnip, in live cd im still met with this same passphrase issue - how is t that i turn my computer off and the next day my password doesnt work? | 15:24 |
| compdoc | pestilence, it doesnt install all the system fonts | 15:24 |
| pestilence | compdoc: oh, what font packages could I be missing? | 15:24 |
| Pici | samski: The binary packages that this source package builds to are: pcscd, libpcsclite-dev, and libpcsclite1. If you want to install one of them, apt should be able to find it. | 15:24 |
| giostrina85 | lista | 15:24 |
| insmod | <Guest5173> -R | 15:24 |
| ActionParsnip | samski: seems its in the main repo at 1.8.5 | 15:24 |
| TobiasTheViking | minimec: that is top saying 50% cpu from xorg | 15:24 |
| TobiasTheViking | well 50% cpu on the good days | 15:25 |
| Guest5173 | how would that look for /home/yhusha | 15:25 |
| ActionParsnip | hondusa: i don't use encryptfs, its too much of a headache. There are guides online galore, maybe someone can help you | 15:25 |
| TobiasTheViking | currently at an all time low of 25% | 15:25 |
| netzapper | hey, I'm running Ubuntu 12.04. My workstation lost power over the weekend, and when I powered it back up yesterday, the analog sound card is not showing up in pulseaudio, and is not being used for playback. Instead, it's showing only the HDMI output from my graphics card. alsamixer shows the sound card, but not PA. Can somebody point me toward what I should be fiddling with? | 15:25 |
| samski | Pici: shouldnt pcsc-lite be a package i an just apt-get install? | 15:25 |
| TobiasTheViking | opensource radeon driver, no such issue with any prior ubuntu | 15:25 |
| ActionParsnip | hondusa: in future I recommend you don't use encryptfs. Its a lot easier | 15:25 |
| === gvim is now known as Guest36449 | ||
| hondusa | ok | 15:25 |
| samski | ActionParsnip: so i just need to download it at dpkg it? | 15:25 |
| Pici | samski: no. Its the name of the source package that builds the others. Theres no requirement that they have the same names. | 15:25 |
| ActionParsnip | TobiasTheViking: what video chip do you use? | 15:25 |
| TobiasTheViking | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RV620 [Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series] | 15:26 |
| minimec | TobiasTheViking: Ok. In that case I would try a window manager without composite for a try. 50% is too much. | 15:26 |
| ActionParsnip | samski: its in the repos, so you can install it with apt-get or software centre | 15:26 |
| insmod | <netzappe: change the output | 15:26 |
| TobiasTheViking | nothing of import in xorg.0.log | 15:26 |
| Pici | samski: just apt-get install any of the binary packages that I mentioned previously. | 15:26 |
| compdoc | pestilence, in the term window, select: Edit>Profile Preferences, and uncheck 'Use the System Fixed width font'. I dont know which font packages to install as I dont use them on my servers | 15:26 |
| ActionParsnip | TobiasTheViking: in 12.10? | 15:26 |
| hondusa | actionparsnip, can i wipe this clean and install from the live cd? | 15:26 |
| TobiasTheViking | ActionParsnip: da | 15:26 |
| Guest5173 | insmod how would that be writ.. the -r in chown | 15:26 |
| ActionParsnip | TobiasTheViking: not heard of the bug in 12.10 with AMD 2xxx 3xxx and 4xxxx GPUs? | 15:26 |
| TobiasTheViking | nope | 15:26 |
| TobiasTheViking | that's why i'm coming here :D | 15:26 |
| samski | ActionParsnip: it isnt found :S | 15:27 |
| TobiasTheViking | if there is such a beast, please linkify me | 15:27 |
| Pici | samski: Which package are you trying to install? | 15:27 |
| samski | Pici: pcsc-lite is apparently what i need | 15:27 |
| ActionParsnip | TobiasTheViking: basically the xorg version in 12.10 hates your GPU | 15:27 |
| TobiasTheViking | minimec: doesn't really solve the problem though, since i LOVE unity. | 15:27 |

| ActionParsnip | tmba: if you make a fresh ubuntu user, is it the same? | 15:29 |

| jbwiv | hi guys. I've just installed 12.10, and things look good except for window animations. I have three monitors powered by a Radeon 6700, and even with the proprietary drivers, window animations (fades, minimizations, etc) are very sluggish. Any ideas what needed to be tweaked to fix? | 15:30 |
| netzapper | insmod: the output does not exist in the pulseaudio volume control. Can you point me toward where I can specify a list of which devices should appear in the controls? | 15:30 |
| tmba | ActionParsnip: I haven't tried, this is my production desktop so don't really want to reinstall all. I did install 12.04 fresh though so its only been through 1 round of upgrades. | 15:30 |
| TobiasTheViking | ActionParsnip: i don't care as much that it is broken, i care more if i have no way to solve it. | 15:30 |
| TobiasTheViking | so thanks a bunch :) | 15:30 |
| altin | everytime I restart my pc, my history gets corrupted !! | 15:30 |

| ActionParsnip | tmba: when did I say reinstall to you? | 15:30 |
| tmba | ActionParsnip: To get it totally smooth in 12.04, I had to remove vsync and increase rate in compiz config | 15:31 |
| tmba | ActionParsnip: sorry read a bit too fast here, I'll try with new user | 15:31 |

| insmod | <Guest5173> chown -Rwr dir | 15:34 |
| ActionParsnip | insmod: do you mean chmod ;) | 15:34 |
| TheLordOfTime | insmod, chmod would do that, not chown... | 15:35 |
| ActionParsnip | insmod: chown needs a username too (ch)ange (own)er | 15:35 |

| mindbreaker | after ubuntu is booted, it runs a while and then the screen freezes .. this means the mouse pointer is here but i can't move it and i can't do anything | 15:36 |
| Guest5173 | so chown user -RxwrX or chown -RxwrX user? | 15:37 |
| ActionParsnip | insmod: it's either chmod -R +wr /home/yhusha or chown -R yhusha:yhusha /home/yhusha | 15:37 |

| TheLordOfTime | samski, you wouldnt unless they have a quantal package. | 15:38 |
| TheLordOfTime | Guest5173, did you try running the application as sudo, though? | 15:38 |
| mindbreaker | do you need further information? :S | 15:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest5173: if it needs admin access then you don't need chown or cmod | 15:38 |
| samski | i think its just a matter of it hasnt been updated recently | 15:38 |

However if I restart, as soon as I log in it works fine. Anyone know what the restart process might be doing that I can learn to emulate? | 15:39 |

| insmod | <nongoogle>why using osspd | 15:39 |
| altin | everytime I restart my pc, my history gets corrupted !! does anyone know what's the problem ? | 15:39 |
| TheLordOfTime | samski, send an email to the PPA maintainer, see if he can create a quantal version. | 15:39 |
| TheLordOfTime | samski, not really. | 15:39 |
| OerHeks | samski, contact the ppa owner | 15:39 |
| TheLordOfTime | samski, downgrading just to use one app? not a good idea. contact the PPA owner. | 15:39 |
| ldlework | ActionParsnip: is that a modprobe thing? stopping a daemon? | 15:39 |
| nongoogle | insmod because i wanna run smacpp on linux | 15:40 |
| samski | TheLordOfTime: i only installed linux for this one project | 15:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest5173: the owner of the file doesn't dictate the access. It will still be your user running it, so it needs sudo to run | 15:40 |
| samski | :P | 15:40 |
| ActionParsnip | ldlework: sudo modprobe -r name; sleep 2; sudo modprobe name | 15:40 |
| TheLordOfTime | samski, still contact the PPA owner. If you want to downgrade, you'll have to reinstall (easiest method) 12.04. | 15:40 |
| insmod | <nongoogle>never heard of it | 15:40 |
| TheLordOfTime | samski, or find someone who can modify the package accordingly. | 15:40 |
| ldlework | ActionParsnip: nice, I'll try that next time. thanks. | 15:40 |
| samski | TheLordOfTime: i will contact the PPA owner. compiling it myself isnt working, everything is broken | 15:40 |
| ActionParsnip | ldlework: you can see the driver module with: sudo lshw -C network | 15:40 |
| TheLordOfTime | samski, you don't have the build deps then :P | 15:41 |
| ActionParsnip | ldlework: look for: driver= | 15:41 |
| Guest5173 | yes gave it su permission but it still gives an error failure on account of w/r access | 15:41 |
| samski | TheLordOfTime: its more broken than that i think | 15:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest5173: that won't change any with chowning etc | 15:41 |
| TheLordOfTime | samski, which're probably all in that PPA :P | 15:41 |
| TheLordOfTime | samski, in any case, contact the PPA owner, if you want you can replace 12.10 with 12.04 by reinstalling from the 12.04 disk (it'll overwrite 12.10 so backup any data you want to keep) | 15:41 |

| minimec | samski: Honestly... I would try to add the 'newest' repo to my sources.list. It should do. As far as I see, it only adds libraries and does not replace any. So small risk in my eyes. | 15:42 |
| samski | TheLordOfTime: thanks. im not asking you to debug the package dont worry :) | 15:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest5173: look into chown and chmod examples online | 15:43 |

| minimec | ActionParsnip: samski: that library is part of the ppa. | 15:47 |

| MonkeyDust | Guest57719 as soon as someone has the answer, they will help -- start with providing more details | 16:00 |
| ActionParsnip | tmba: the old settings from the old user are causing an issue, the drivers and compiz are fine :) | 16:00 |
| minimec | samski: Ok. Let's do it 'hardcore'! You directly download the few deb packages directly from the ppa and save it in a folder like nfc-ppa. | 16:01 |
| samski | OerHeks: im just giving it a try, minimec: thinks it might not be so bad as itsjust installing libraries | 16:01 |
| aJacom | blazemore, Do you know any tool or are we going into an ethical debate? | 16:01 |
| blazemore | aJacom: I don't know any generic tools | 16:01 |
| minimec | samski: Then you go to that folder and sudo dpkg -i *.deb That's all ;) | 16:01 |
| samski | minimec: thought it would end up like this! :) | 16:01 |
| blazemore | aJacom: I don't care what you want to do with it | 16:01 |
| rajmahendra | ActionParsnip, anything need to do with the broken package ? | 16:01 |
| ActionParsnip | rajmahendra: you are using a PPA for libreoffic eand the files in the packages are overlapping | 16:01 |
| tmba | ActionParsnip: yeh, just trying to figure out which settings are the issue. I'm thinking the chances are its compiz | 16:01 |
| samski | minimec: thanks v much, will report back shortly | 16:01 |
| blazemore | aJacom: I just wondered if it was a specific application like a zip archive or a spreadsheet, there are dedicated tools for that | 16:01 |
| ActionParsnip | rajmahendra: dpkg doesn't like that and I suggest you contact the PPA maintainer. | 16:01 |
| minimec | samski: ok. | 16:01 |
| Guest57719 | MonkeyDust i guess everything is in the paste, it's cisco anyconnect client for ubuntu and ssl cert issue | 16:02 |

| ActionParsnip | rajmahendra: contact the PPA maintainer and send them the text in that pastebin | 16:02 |
| aJacom | blazemore, Ah. Would you mind taking a quick look at my post in crackingforums? It'll explain a lot, and I couldn't find any help. http://crackingforum.com/cracking-tools/339576-windows-linux-desktop-app-password-cracking.html | 16:03 |
| ActionParsnip | rajmahendra: this will get them to fix their packaging so it affects fewer users | 16:03 |
| aJacom | It's very short | 16:03 |
| rajmahendra | ActionParsnip, it says no such file or directory | 16:03 |
| ActionParsnip | rajmahendra: I missed the last 2 letters from the file name | 16:05 |
| ActionParsnip | rajmahendra: hence me adding them on the next line | 16:05 |
| netzapper | What are some reasons that a sound card might show up in alsamixer but not pavucontrol? | 16:05 |

| rajmahendra | ActionParsnip, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa | 16:09 |
| OerHeks | samski, 1.60 rc would be my choice, maybe minimec can help you build ? | 16:09 |
| samski | OerHeks: i also tried download the RC1, but that has some error with "MIN" being undefined. its been mentioned on some forums, the solution was pulling the latest version of the source | 16:09 |

| MonkeyDust | KI4RO what's rev ? | 16:10 |
| samski | OerHeks: minimec: thanks for the help so far btw. is this just some dependency im missing | 16:11 |
| minimec | samski: Did you give 1.5 a try? | 16:12 |

| CrAzYWolF | i kind of mess up, i have a ubuntu box on virtualbox, im trying to run a squid server with dansguardian, everything was working great, until i was trying to get dansguardian workign, for some reason now my ubuntu box wont even have internet, and before i had | 16:16 |
| samski | minimec: yes, this was the issue, something to do with the library that the build creates. (it looks like it succeeds, but wheni run one of the example programs, nfc-emulate-tag, i get this): nfc-emulate-tag nfc-emulate-tag: error while loading shared libraries: libnfc.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 16:16 |

| lucido | ActionParsnip, I have only the auto loop entry in the interfaces file | 16:17 |
| KI4RO | Okay...next question...my system will not reboot or restart...screen goes black and then stops doing anything. I can power it down and back up and everything is okay. Suggestions? | 16:18 |

| samski | minimec: i have a lot of libnfc.so files there, would it be best to manually delete them out and run the build again | 16:21 |
| minimec | samski: Check if you can make a 'make uninstall'. Read the INSTALL file | 16:22 |
| samski | yes i can ill do it | 16:23 |

| tockitj | how to use apt-* to list current libssl version ? (locally installed) | 16:40 |
| minimec | samski: What would be the usecase, even though I see we are going off topic. So stay short. ;) | 16:40 |
| Guest27041 | .. | 16:41 |
| llutz | tockitj: dpkg -l 'libssl*' | 16:42 |
| ActionParsnip | tockitj: dpkg -l | grep libssl | 16:42 |
| ActionParsnip | pythonirc101: use lxde or xfce, it will run much smoother | 16:43 |
| samski | minimec: these nfc readers can be used for dumb stuff like tags or you can use them with active devices like phones (android etc). you can quickly transfer data with just a touch. like you hav your nfc bluetooh adapter, you can just touch and connect bluetooth right | 16:43 |
| ActionParsnip | leogitimate: I'd ask in #compiz too | 16:43 |
| vlad88sv | @tockitj also "dpkg -s package" works | 16:43 |
| leogitimate | ActionParsnip: ok | 16:43 |
| tockitj | and how to remove package from local system ? :/ | 16:43 |
| zeppo | hi guys | 16:43 |
| llutz | tockitj: sudo apt-get purge libssl.... | 16:44 |
| minimec | samski: OK. I can imagine the use of these tags. There are two sorts of tags 'write once' and 'rewrite', right? | 16:45 |
| tockitj | hmmz.. it has active dependencies.. and i want to force reinstall (to replace with different version) | 16:46 |
| tockitj | how to force removal ? | 16:46 |
| lollko | sudo apt-get --purge remove [package] | 16:46 |
| zeppo | i have a rackspace ubuntu server that keeps getting unresponsive a while after reboot, can't find anything in any logs | 16:46 |
| lollko | or sudo aptitude remove [package] | 16:46 |
| llutz | lollko: that won't force anything | 16:46 |
| zeppo | any suggestions on how i should go about to trouble shoot that | 16:46 |
| minimec | samski: Yeah I touch my nfc adapter and get connected for music transmission. | 16:46 |

| tockitj | llutz, but there is conflict - new version doesn't want to install :/ | 16:48 |

| tockitj | llutz, its basically same libssl version.. part behind ubuntu* i don't really understand | 16:51 |
| samski | minimec: its all quite neat when it works :) | 16:51 |
| tockitj | aren't these libs the same (if it is same package & same version - what does ubuntuX.Y mean) | 16:52 |
| llutz | tockitj: different sub-vsersions, get the correct libssl-dev for your newer package too | 16:52 |
| Pici | tockitj: They refer to the Ubuntu rebuilds of the package. | 16:52 |
| tockitj | Pici, how come apt-get can't resolve this on its own ? | 16:53 |
| pjoseph | Can I connect two subnets with vlan or bridge? | 16:53 |
| Pici | tockitj: let me look at the backlog, I wasn't really paying attention to your complete issue. | 16:53 |
| vlad88sv | It's normal that applications like Firefox and Chrome take long to start after login (Aprox. 2 - 3minutes)?. I've seen that load time is much less when using Gnome Shell than Unity, may this be the reason? | 16:53 |
| tockitj | well this error is all i have atm | 16:54 |
| Pici | tockitj: What release of Ubuntu are you on? | 16:55 |
| minimec | samski: I would take that 'Destop Reader'... ;) http://www.identiveusa.com/contactless-reader-scl010.htm | 16:56 |
| Pici | tockitj: and what does apt-cache policy libssl0.9.8 libssl-dev say? | 16:56 |

| balloftar | Hi, I downloaded ubuntu minimal iso and installed it. What packages do I need to install for a full-working notebook (wifi, acpi etc.) system? it is going to have XFCE. | 17:12 |
| soomon | noobee there are plenty of manuals you can find on google which explain how to reset passwords | 17:12 |
| dr_willis | you can boot to single user/recovery mode and set a new password for the user in question noobee | 17:12 |
| Hondusa | the password i use when i log on to ubuntu - is that a root password? | 17:12 |
| dr_willis | Hondusa: No... root is a specific user.. | 17:12 |
| ikonia | drecute: I have a silly question, why do you need to recompile it to work with zend ? | 17:12 |
| dr_willis | Hondusa: if you login as 'billgates' thatn thats billgates password. | 17:12 |
| dr_willis | and the first user made has full admin rights. | 17:13 |
| tockitj | how to list apt-get repositories ? | 17:13 |
| dr_willis | Hondusa: why do you need to reset the password? did you forget it? | 17:13 |
| Hondusa | when i start up ubuntu - before i log on - im prompted for a password - my password wont work | 17:13 |
| drecute | ikonia: I'm running php with fpm and zend server doesn't support fpm | 17:13 |
| dr_willis | Befor you login? what does the screen say EXACTLY? | 17:13 |
| drecute | ikonia: so my php5 install crashes everytime because of this | 17:13 |
| Hondusa | i remember the password - but it doesnt work - even when i load the live cd - i cant access the hd because its encrypted and my password wont work | 17:14 |
| === Guest73198 is now known as Adeel | ||
| soomon | hondusa try switching y and z maybe it was the wrong keyboard layout | 17:14 |
| dr_willis | Hondusa: your encrypted home pass phrase is NOT the same as a login password... | 17:14 |
| Hondusa | and im new to linux so im a bit confused | 17:14 |
| Hondusa | ok | 17:14 |
| dr_willis | so now we are getting to the actual problem. You set up an encrypted home? | 17:14 |
| === Adeel is now known as Guest49490 | ||
| ikonia | drecute: ok, so I have a solution you may find easier, but also sloppier | 17:14 |
| Hondusa | correct | 17:14 |
| ikonia | drecute: how "professional" do you want to be I guess it depends on the purpose of this machine) | 17:15 |
| peyam | join #ubuntu-se | 17:15 |
| dr_willis | Hondusa: and your passphrase for that is known? | 17:15 |
| Hondusa | i thought the two were set as the same | 17:15 |
| drecute | ikonia: the purpose of the machine is a build server | 17:15 |
| dr_willis | Hondusa: Not that i am aware of. I never use encrypted homes.. causes to many issues | 17:15 |
| ikonia | drecute: ok - this "may" be acceptable to you | 17:15 |
| Hondusa | i only remember using one password/ passphrase durring install | 17:15 |
| drecute | running jenkins, subversion, java, python | 17:15 |
| dr_willis | they could be set to be the same.. i guess | 17:16 |
| ikonia | drecute: have you considered building a php install in /opt (for example) to run zend again | 17:16 |
| ikonia | keep it totally isolated from your machine machine | 17:16 |
| dr_willis | Perhaps others can help you in mounting your encrypted home from a live cd to verify. | 17:16 |
| ikonia | sorry, main file system | 17:16 |
| drecute | ikonia: yeah I'm considering it, but how to modify the php5 source files is my concern | 17:16 |
| Hondusa | liaded live cd - attempt to mount encrypted home - password prompt - nothing | 17:16 |
| ikonia | drecute: why do you need to mofidy the php source files ? | 17:16 |
| ikonia | drecute: sorry if I missed that in the explination | 17:17 |
| balloftar | Hi, I downloaded ubuntu minimal iso and installed it. What packages do I need to install for a full-working notebook (wifi, acpi etc.) system? it is going to have XFCE. | 17:17 |
| drecute | ikonia: i want to prefix the compilation with --prefix | 17:17 |
| ikonia | drecute: you don't modify the source for that | 17:17 |
| drecute | ikonia: i want to prefix the compilation with --prefix /some-new-dir | 17:17 |
| ikonia | drecute: that is a configure option | 17:17 |
| ikonia | drecute: eg: ./configure --preifx=/opt/php --sysconfdir=/opt/etc etc etc | 17:18 |
| drecute | ikonia: don't I need php5 source first? | 17:18 |
| ikonia | drecute: yes, you do | 17:18 |
| Hondusa | so am i left with no solution? if the disk is encrypted can i access it somehow? | 17:18 |
| dr_willis | Hondusa: there may be ways to moiunt it via the cli to give you more info./feedback/error messages.. I dont use the feature. so i dont know how its done. | 17:19 |
| drecute | ikonia: so which is easier. Prefixes my already working php5 install with some new location or installing zend server in a chrooted environment? | 17:19 |
| * dr_willis thinks they need to put a big warning on the encrypted home option in the installer. | 17:19 | |
| Hondusa | YES | 17:19 |
| ikonia | drecute: ok - changing your current php 5 install is not going to happen | 17:19 |
| ikonia | (easy any way) | 17:19 |
| ikonia | drecute: putting an addtional php5 enviornment in /opt for example could happen | 17:20 |
| ikonia | drecute: running zend in a chroot, I don't see how that would help you ? | 17:20 |
| Hondusa | am i faced with a reinstall? if the home is encrypted can i reinstall ubuntu over that? will a reinstall even work? | 17:20 |
| dr_willis | Hondusa: i would try booting into the text/single user mode and seeing if you can access anything in your /home/ partition | 17:21 |
| drecute | ikonia: very difficult | 17:21 |
| Hondusa | i think i booted into a root shell but coldnt make anything of it | 17:21 |
| drecute | ikonia: i think this might be easy | 17:21 |
| Hondusa | AND - i tried to boot into recovery... prompted for a passphrase AGAIN! | 17:22 |
| ikonia | drecute: I suggest putting a new / additional php5 install in /opt | 17:22 |
| drecute | ikonia: I install ubuntu 12.04 in a chrooted env and have only zend server nstalled there | 17:22 |
| matanc | Uhmm | 17:22 |
| ikonia | drecute: you still need php though don't you for zend to work ? | 17:22 |
| matanc | Can anyone see this? | 17:22 |
| TheLordOfTime | matanc, yes, but there's better testing channels | 17:22 |
| TheLordOfTime | !test | matanc | 17:22 |
| ubot93 | matanc: Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use /join #test ) | 17:22 |
| TheLordOfTime | oh right the bot's sorta dead... | 17:22 |
| matanc | oh, I didn't know, thanks though | 17:23 |
| drecute | ikonia: yes. But I'll just allow php without fpm then zend server to run only in that chrooted env | 17:23 |
| dr_willis | Hondusa: sounds like you encrypted the whole drive? | 17:23 |
| minimec | samski: I will definitly not buy another USB device, but I might want to test some usecases with these NFC tags, the rewritable ones... | 17:23 |
| dr_willis | Hondusa: you could try the single user mode i guess.. or a live cd. http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-mounting-your-encrypted-home-from-livecd/ | 17:24 |
| samski | minimec: definitely, they are pretty fun. did you say you have a nokia with NFC? on android you can use NFC Task Launcher | 17:24 |
| Hondusa | yes - when i installed i chose to encrypt the data - used the computer for the day - shutdown last night - and now im locked out of it this morning! | 17:24 |
| dr_willis | if its a clean install and nothing you really need off of it.. id just reinstall. | 17:25 |
| minimec | samski: This is a Nokia N9 with 'meego OS'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_N9 | 17:26 |
| dr_willis | Hondusa: is this a laptop or a desktop? | 17:26 |
| Hondusa | laptop - sont vaio | 17:26 |
| Hondusa | sony* | 17:26 |
| dr_willis | Its possible the keyboard layouts were differnt or some other trivial thing with the password you are entering. | 17:27 |
| Hondusa | id like to retrieve the family vids - the other movies and music can be redownloaded | 17:27 |
| drecute | ikonia: what do you think about that | 17:27 |
| minimec | samski: It is somehow 'unique'. There you see from where the 'Lumia' design comes from. ;) | 17:27 |
| dr_willis | http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2011/04/introducing-ecryptfs-recover-private.html seems like a good guide also. | 17:27 |
| soomon | hondusa the only way is to enter the right password. so try different versions or using different keyboard layouts | 17:27 |
| drecute | ikonia: If I install new php5 in /opt, can I tell zend server to use my php5 installation at /opt? | 17:28 |
| donsd | How do I put Julian date in bash prompt? | 17:28 |
| dr_willis | yep. if you cant figure out your correct password/phrase. you are stuck | 17:28 |
| Hondusa | OK - so in theory this "root" password should be one that I set - not a default passphrase created by ubuntu? | 17:28 |
| soomon | there is no default password from ubuntu | 17:29 |
| artrei | please recommend winscp alternative for ubuntu, anyone? | 17:29 |
| MACscr | I am having issues getting an init.d script to work. Any suggestions? here is the debug info i have so far: Im getting permission denied when trying to start FS. My perms/ownership/paths look right though: http://pastebin.com/Bpg1SDb3 | 17:29 |
| noobee | would not cracking the root password not be a method one could use? Is no root a username, my point is with a topic as loos as a whole os you can't rule out my question as off topic, though it is not topic specific... just don't badger me... I was just leaving... it took time to respond due to my need to tend to my children... sory and good bye my pour hosts! | 17:29 |
| Hondusa | because i have my common "password" i use - but nothing works - its all numbers, does that change things? | 17:29 |

| soomon | honuse do you enter it on the numpad or above the letters? | 17:30 |

| Hondusa | tried a usb keyboard also | 17:30 |
| balloftar | Hi, I downloaded ubuntu minimal iso and installed it. What packages do I need to install for a full-working notebook (wifi, acpi etc.) system? it is going to have XFCE. | 17:30 |
| gordonjcp | Hondusa: why did you set a root password? | 17:31 |
| Hondusa | tried it - wont activate numpad/capslock | 17:31 |
| soomon | he didnt set a root password.. just ignore that part | 17:31 |
| soomon | i want to encrypt my data partition. i was thinking: disk > software raid5 > encryption > lvm > ext4. now i read that performance is much better when you do: disk > encryption > software raid 5 >lvm > ext4 - because the system spawns 4 threads for en/decryption. is that true? | 17:31 |
| Hondusa | im sorry - im new and im just trying to learn this - hoping we can access the system | 17:32 |
| tats | hello everyone | 17:32 |
| artrei | hi hi | 17:32 |
| gordonjcp | Hondusa: where is it asking you for a root password? | 17:32 |

| peyam | hi | 17:33 |
| peyam | Anybody helps me install my graphic drivers? | 17:34 |
| Hondusa | unlocking the disk /dev/disk/by-uuid/"name of the disk" (sda5_crypt) ENTER PASSPHRASE | 17:34 |
| tats | i'm running ubuntu 12.04 precise. i'm trying to associate specific file extension a non-packaged program (http://www.processing.org/) which i installed in /opt/Processing. the file extension is .pde. | 17:34 |
| gordonjcp | Hondusa: oh, that's a totally different thing | 17:34 |
| Hondusa | ok... good or bad? | 17:34 |
| gordonjcp | Hondusa: you'd have set the passphrase when you installed | 17:34 |
| peyam | anybody help me install my graphic drivers? | 17:34 |
| Hondusa | right - but my passphrase wont work | 17:34 |
| Hondusa | it worked yesterday | 17:35 |
| Hondusa | its all numbers | 17:35 |
| gordonjcp | silly question, but have you checked that your keyboard is working correctly? | 17:35 |
| gordonjcp | Hondusa: bring up a grub prompt - just anything you can type stuff into, it doesn't matter - and type your passphrase | 17:36 |
| SouravAJ | peyam: tell ur exact problem | 17:36 |
| gordonjcp | does it come out right? | 17:36 |

| CrAzYWolF | hi all, quick question i just installed ubuntu 12.10 i have 2 internet, one is dhcp the other static. the dhcp was workign fine but when i added my static ip for the other internet, is not working, why is that? why i cant even ping the gateway | 17:38 |
| xangua | balloftar: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop or you could have installed xubuntu from the begining; lxde is also lighter | 17:38 |
| soomon | crazywolf thats cause u cant have 2 active default gateways. use on or the other (at one time) | 17:38 |
| Hondusa | <gordonjcp> OK im in busybox now | 17:38 |
| balloftar | lxde will do also. | 17:39 |
| Hondusa | gordonjcp: can i do this in busybox? | 17:39 |
| balloftar | i want a base system, not something like xubuntu-desktop. | 17:39 |
| CrAzYWolF | soomon i understand that, but right now i just want to use one | 17:39 |
| CrAzYWolF | i did edit the interfaces file | 17:39 |
| gordonjcp | Hondusa: yeah, I guess | 17:40 |
| gordonjcp | Hondusa: just type your passphrase at some sort of prompt that'll echo the characters back to you | 17:40 |
| soomon | crazywofl when you deactivate the car dusing dhcp, does the other one work then? | 17:40 |
| CrAzYWolF | if i do a ping to a local computer i can ping it, but not teh gateway | 17:40 |
| peyam | anybody please help me install my graphic drivers | 17:40 |
| soomon | maybe the gateway doesnt answer ping requests? | 17:40 |
| SouravAJ | peyam: : wht graphic card u r using? | 17:41 |
| jordan4ibanez | I guess grub is just crap? | 17:41 |
| Hondusa | gordonjcp: i see (initframs) typed password ..... not found | 17:41 |
| jordan4ibanez | I ran sudo update-grub even after mounting my other windows disk, and it still cannot see it | 17:41 |
| vickytomar__ | @peyam don't beg for help if nobody helping google it yourself | 17:41 |
| gordonjcp | Hondusa: well obviously typing your password in as a command won't work | 17:42 |
| gordonjcp | Hondusa: I think you've rather got the wrong end of the stick | 17:42 |
| gordonjcp | what I meant was, see if when you type what you think your passphrase is, it comes out properly | 17:42 |
| gordonjcp | and you haven't got a stuck key or something | 17:42 |
| Hondusa | gordonjcp: ha... right - it shows up as i type it, i checked that earlier | 17:43 |
| CrAzYWolF | so any idea what could be the issue? | 17:43 |
| Hondusa | im lost - it worked yesterday while i was using ubuntu | 17:43 |
| soomon | crazywolf deactive tha dhcp card and reactivate the statis one | 17:43 |
| ikonia | CrAzYWolF: you will hit a problem as both will be "default" routes | 17:43 |
| soomon | maybe the gateway doesnt answer ping requests. try pinging 8.8.8.8 | 17:44 |
| Hondusa | is there a way to access the system and reset the password? i feel so stupid for securing my own computer to the point that i even cant access it | 17:45 |
| === mike_ is now known as Guest54635 | ||
| CrAzYWolF | ok right now im using 1 NIC and i have it static, i cant get the internet, but im my local machine i have internet using static ip | 17:45 |
| soomon | hondusa thats why you encrypt it. | 17:45 |
| soomon | why use encryption if others can reset the password? | 17:45 |
| soomon | crazywolf can you ping 8.8.8.8 over the static card? | 17:46 |
| Hondusa | ARRGH - i know... are we all in agreement that im lost and there is no way to solve my problem? | 17:46 |
| CrAzYWolF | i cant | 17:47 |
| soomon | only some kid of bruteforce. but i dont know how to do that and its not topic of this channel | 17:47 |
| ikonia | CrAzYWolF: step back for a second | 17:47 |
| ikonia | CrAzYWolF: run only one internet facing card | 17:47 |
| gordonjcp | Hondusa: are you *sure* that's the right password? | 17:47 |
| ikonia | CrAzYWolF: as you won't be able to run two it will get confused due to routing | 17:47 |
| soomon | crazywolf maybe your routes are wrong and it doesnt know how to reach other network | 17:47 |
| CrAzYWolF | ok this is the thing | 17:48 |

| dtcrshr | hello everyone. I have a very annoying issue here at my job. We receiverd 10 netbooks to lend the students to use at the library, and they all came with windows 7 basicness. So, we set up ubuntu on all of them, but I stoped on this wifi issue. We use 802.1x wpa2 enterprise authentication methods, with the users register on the university to be their login on the network. We cant set up a fixed account for the netbooks, since all students woul | 17:49 |
| dtcrshr | d use them, and we have to monitor the login and traffic based on their authentication. On windows i can set this connection just fine without user and pass, and its asked everytime to the user, and I coudnt find how to let the connection with no authentication data on ubuntu, I dont want to take off 10 ubuntu and get windows 7 back just because of this, can anyone help me? | 17:49 |
| CrAzYWolF | the thing is i was messing with a couple of commands, and rebooted and it all went down | 17:49 |
| soomon | any routing commands involved? | 17:50 |
| ikonia | CrAzYWolF: again, you don't need two interenet connections for that | 17:50 |
| Hondusa | gordonjcp: do i have a fighting chance? | 17:50 |
| ikonia | CrAzYWolF: just use one internet connection, keep it simple | 17:50 |
| gordonjcp | Hondusa: if it's encrypted, you need the passphrase | 17:50 |
| CrAzYWolF | so i installed ubuntu 12.10 to see, the defaults information, and verify if i have something wrong | 17:50 |
| CrAzYWolF | if i can find out why i dont have internet using the static, ip i will fix right away my squid box | 17:50 |
| CrAzYWolF | ikonia i know, sorry i mention 2 internets, im using only 1 | 17:51 |
| ikonia | CrAzYWolF: ok - so look at your routing table | 17:51 |
| Hondusa | ok - thanks for the help everybody - i know its a headache dealing with a noob - i apprecaite the time | 17:51 |
| GothSpark | @dtcrshr you i think you can use the old network login system but i am not sure on how it did worked | 17:51 |

| GunfighterJ | I was trying to run some backups on my computer (32-bit 12.04) and received this error: "Cannot open: Read-only file system". After a bit of googling I read that that could mean a corrupt or failing disk. My questions regarding this. 1. Is it a bad idea to shutdown/restart my system? and 2. What's the best way to go about fixing this? | 18:29 |
| Zero-1 | ok...thks | 18:29 |
| crimsonmane | GunfighterJ: it could mean you were supposed to run the backup as root | 18:29 |
| crimsonmane | or your destination to save the backup, you dont have permission to write to it | 18:29 |

| {xmb} | yeah and software effort | 18:46 |
| {xmb} | like our hands | 18:46 |
| GunfighterJ | software effort? | 18:46 |

| ubot93 | {xmb}: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 19:02 |
| k1l | !sudo | {xmb} | 19:02 |

| jrib | GunfighterJ: if the drive is failing, I wouldn't bother with that. I'd mount it on some working install and copy the data off that way | 19:06 |
| Katbuntu | I installed libqt4, libqt4-core, libqtcore etc. | 19:06 |
| GunfighterJ | Alright. I can do that, I just wanted to get important stuff off that people are depending on, I guess I'll take the complaints. | 19:06 |
| crimsonmane | i think GunfighterJ should do a proper umount, then mount, and try again | 19:06 |
| jrib | Katbuntu: kvirc is in the repositories, you can use apt to install it | 19:06 |
| Katbuntu | but cmake tells me that qtcore hasn't been found on /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu | 19:06 |
| Katbuntu | Yes, but it's an old version | 19:06 |
| dr_willis_ | Katbuntu: use the build-deps feature of apt to install nweded dev packages for that app | 19:07 |
| ActionParsnip | quma: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 19:07 |
| GunfighterJ | I might just shut down the machine so it doesn't keep freaking out | 19:07 |
| Katbuntu | how dr_willis_? | 19:07 |
| crimsonmane | GunfighterJ: why are you using ftp anyway? | 19:07 |
| dr_willis_ | al | 19:07 |
| crimsonmane | where is this drive physically? | 19:07 |
| quma | ActionParsni: not but I try linux mint and it was the same | 19:07 |
| dr_willis_ | aptlget build-dep foo | 19:07 |
| GunfighterJ | crimsonmane, about 20 minutes from my current location. | 19:07 |
| Katbuntu | ok | 19:07 |
| dr_willis_ | or somthing like that | 19:07 |
| gordonjcp | GunfighterJ: have you got ssh access to the box? | 19:08 |
| fragglerhasaques | heyhey | 19:08 |
| GunfighterJ | Yes | 19:08 |
| gordonjcp | GunfighterJ: then set up sshfs | 19:08 |
| GunfighterJ | I'm in college, and the machine is at my house. | 19:08 |
| Katbuntu | But I'm on Kubuntu, Qt should be installed at all. | 19:08 |
| quma | ActionParsnip: not but I try linux mint and it was the same | 19:08 |
| gordonjcp | GunfighterJ: "sshfs my.hostname:/path/to/source/dir mountpoint/" | 19:08 |
| fragglerhasaques | i have a not ubuntu-specific question but I think you guyys are h only ones who can help me | 19:08 |
| GunfighterJ | gordonjcp, how would I set that up? | 19:08 |
| gordonjcp | GunfighterJ: boom | 19:08 |
| GunfighterJ | so... where do I execute this? | 19:08 |
| gordonjcp | you run that locally | 19:09 |
| iceroot | !ot | fragglerhasaques | 19:09 |
| ubot93 | fragglerhasaques: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 19:09 |
| gordonjcp | it ssh'es across to your remote machine and basically wraps scp-like file transfers | 19:09 |
| GunfighterJ | ok, I'm on a windows machine currently | 19:09 |
| crimsonmane | GunfighterJ: perhaps you could have someone at home turn that computer off until you can get to it physically | 19:09 |
| gordonjcp | GunfighterJ: so over your ssh connection, you now have the source dir mounted as a local filesystem | 19:09 |
| gordonjcp | GunfighterJ: ah | 19:09 |
| Katbuntu | I'm installing qt4-dev-tools now, if it works. | 19:09 |
| ActionParsnip | quma: you aren't really trying much different with Mint.... | 19:09 |
| Katbuntu | Else i'll try the build-dep. | 19:09 |
| Katbuntu | oh yeah | 19:10 |
| GunfighterJ | crimsonmane, lol! The only people at my house are my parents, they couldn't figure that out no matter how hard I try to walk them through it | 19:10 |
| Katbuntu | installing qt4-dev-tools fixed it :) | 19:10 |
| bekks | GunfighterJ: Then use WinSCP instead of FTP. | 19:10 |
| crimsonmane | "pull the plug" | 19:10 |
| ActionParsnip | quma: MD5 test the ISO you downloaded is important so that you know the ISO is complete and consistant | 19:10 |
| quma | ActionParsnip: what is this md5 test? | 19:10 |
| fragglerhasaques | my gcc mises som libraries like stdint and pgmspace.h | 19:10 |
| GunfighterJ | alright | 19:10 |
| ActionParsnip | !md5 | quma | 19:10 |
| ubot93 | quma: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 19:10 |
| GunfighterJ | how would I set up WinSCP for sshfs? | 19:10 |
| jrib | GunfighterJ: if you have ssh setup, you just enter your credentials into winscp... | 19:11 |
| ActionParsnip | GunfighterJ: or you can use filezilla in Windows too | 19:11 |
| GunfighterJ | and just the standard port 22? | 19:11 |

| Xenoch | Hello, I have a quick question, I have an ubuntu 12.04 LTS server system and my grub bootloader will hang at the boot screen rather than jump right into the Ubuntu OS. I have checked and it seems like everything is set properly (via online documentation for Grub), could this be because I have a keybaords and mouse plugged in or is there definitely a setting issue? | 19:27 |
| ikonia | Xenoch: have you set time out to 0 | 19:27 |
| VoidXC | If you do a dual boot of windows 7 and ubuntu using wubi to install ubuntu, will installing nvidia drivers for linux overwrite your windows drivers for your graphics card in windows 7? | 19:28 |
| Xenoch | If I remember correctly yes | 19:28 |
| ikonia | Xenoch you need to check | 19:28 |
| jrib | VoidXC: no, wubi just installs ubuntu to a file in your file system | 19:29 |
| Xenoch | its not a dual, its on its own box, I am just looking up the directory for the grub settings file so I can get it from my putty login | 19:29 |
| delinquentme | ok so I've got this showing when I show the files on a given file permission -rwxrwsr-x | 19:29 |
| delinquentme | what is this s about? | 19:29 |

| jrib | cnf: there should be instructions on one of those pages (either from /msg ubot93 install or the !persistent factoid) about creating a live usb manually. You could also just install ubuntu in a vm and then use the usb-creator-gtk | 20:24 |

| dsa | is it possible for webmin to damage samba config file ? | 20:26 |
| heoyea_ | javmarlat: think theres the alternative cd u can download | 20:26 |
| gnutun | hey all; what is the rule for dpkg to replace an existing package with a new one? i'm trying to install a custom package (with the same name as an already-installed package), and it's not removing the installed package before installing the new one | 20:26 |
| Pici | dsa: its possible for webmin to damage a lot of things, which is why we don't support it. | 20:26 |
| Pici | !webmin | dsa | 20:26 |
| ubot93 | dsa: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 20:26 |
| javmarlat | oks, i was trying | 20:26 |
| heoyea_ | gnutun: it will replace it if is a newer version | 20:27 |
| cnf | jrib: instructions aplenty, with half the stuff out dated | 20:28 |
| uw | halo | 20:29 |
| jrib | cnf: sure. You may have to do some homework as well. But the instructions are there for creating it manually by just mounting the iso and copying files | 20:29 |
| uw | for some reason the firefox that came with my ubuntu has a UK version or something | 20:29 |
| jrib | cnf: it's on the !persistent page | 20:29 |
| javmarlat | heoyea_: but theres not alternate version of 12.10, almost in http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads#alternate there is only of 12.04 | 20:29 |
| uw | all of the search tools are for the UK | 20:29 |
| uw | does anyone know how i can change that to make them all .com or us | 20:29 |
| dsa | Pici, woops? | 20:30 |
| Augustuen | I accidentally reformatted the wrong partition, and testdisk tells me there's no files on the partition, how do I recover it? | 20:30 |
| istevenmon | hello guys, how is everyone today. I have a quick question my computer has a TPM cheap and I read i can use it to report to a server to prevent it to be stolen, is there any software in ubuntu I could set up for the laptop to report to? | 20:30 |
| dsa | but the webmin idea sounds and looks so nice =( | 20:30 |
| bekks | dsa: And so insecure, and non-linear by design. | 20:30 |
| escott | uw, what is your locale | 20:30 |
| jrib | !ebox | dsa | 20:31 |
| ubot93 | dsa: zentyal is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Zentyal (Project formally known as eBox - including in Lucid/10.04). | 20:31 |
| heoyea_ | javmarlat: there might be a netinstall version also | 20:31 |
| dsa | so is there any alternative ? | 20:31 |
| heoyea_ | javmarlat: else just get the server version and install the desktop | 20:31 |
| OerHeks | Augustuen, if testdisk does not find it, it is gone. | 20:31 |
| dsa | zentyal mmmm saw the website but i thought it was OS | 20:31 |
| uw | escott, I am in the US and would like them to be us sites | 20:32 |
| uw | which i would think to be default? | 20:32 |
| Augustuen | OerHeks, Damn, does the windows installer really do that thorough a job? Oh well, nothing to do then, I guess... :( | 20:32 |
| dsa | thanks for the tip so if i uninstall webmin i should be ok =P | 20:32 |
| escott | uw, what does "locale" say | 20:32 |
| gnutun | heoyea_, thanks, my version number was messed up | 20:32 |
| javmarlat | heoyea_: thks 'd try it | 20:32 |
| uw | escott, oh ok one second | 20:32 |
| OerHeks | Augustuen, for a windows partition i would suggest recuva, or photorec | 20:33 |
| dsa | jrib, bekks thanks | 20:34 |
| uw | escott, Sorry for this, but im not really sure where to see "locale" | 20:34 |
| OerHeks | Augustuen, but if you put new data on it, it will be overwritten. | 20:34 |
| GunfighterJ | gordonjcp, SSHFS worked! Thanks so much. Btw, i updated everything yesterday and it seems that's when the problems started. Could that have been a cause to this? | 20:34 |
| escott | uw, in the terminal. run the command "locale" | 20:34 |
| dsa | so is it possible to apt-get this zentyal? | 20:34 |
| hash_ | does anyone know if the issues with upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04 have been resolved | 20:34 |

| bekks | hash_: Thats a bit vague, isnt it? :) | 20:36 |
| escott | uw, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Locale | 20:37 |
| hash_ | Kinda, the hardware issue was something that shouldnt affect me, its more the password and loss of files | 20:37 |
| uw | escott, oh i see. i dont know how this happened. do you if this can be changed | 20:37 |
| uw | ok sorry i didnt see that link escott | 20:37 |

| funkt | Hi there I have just got 12.04 and I am trying to chnage the background color on my folders I used to have this option but I cant seem to see how to do it now anyone have any ideas? | 20:51 |
| biopyte | has never been an issue before, only since the last update ff17 | 20:51 |
| newgen | biopyte, maybe the .mozilla folder has some wrong permissions | 20:52 |
| jbwiv | does anyone else find window animations in unity to be horribly slow? (minimize, maximize, restore, etc)? | 20:53 |
| biopyte | newgen, .mozilla is rwx------ | 20:54 |
| ok_wait | mine say owner (me) can view and modify, group and others are forbidden | 20:54 |

| newgen | biopyte, i am not sure in which subfolder/file the firefox would store this setting | 20:54 |

| digitalirony | sw0rdfish-lp: look at that users /home/.bash_history file | 20:56 |
| funkt | anyone know how to change background colour of a folder in 12.04? | 20:56 |
| digitalirony | assuming they used bash | 20:56 |
| newgen | assuming they did not disable the history :) | 20:56 |
| digitalirony | or clear it | 20:57 |
| cogitos | and that they saved history, and that they didn't scrub their history file | 20:57 |
| sw0rdfish-lp | digitalirony: I see.... (and love your nickname man) | 20:57 |
| neberu | _m what you saying | 20:57 |
| sw0rdfish-lp | ya i just thought about clearing it | 20:57 |
| digitalirony | assuming a lot of stuff | 20:57 |
| digitalirony | but yeah, you can see it | 20:57 |
| escott | sw0rdfish-lp, no | 20:57 |
| funkt | I used to be able to drag folders to the side panel in folder view but I cant anymore anyone know how to fix that? | 20:57 |
| digitalirony | you could set it to append only mode to help keep them from clearing it | 20:57 |
| escott | digitalirony, and they could just start ipython | 20:58 |
| sw0rdfish-lp | well i wanna ask someone from irc to login and do openvpn for me but damn its risky | 20:58 |
| digitalirony | or zsh | 20:59 |
| digitalirony | or csh, ksh, anything | 20:59 |
| newgen | sw0rdfish-lp, then do it yourself | 20:59 |
| escott | sw0rdfish-lp, you cannot tell what anyone ever did over ssh if they want to hide it | 20:59 |

| guntbert | invariant: dovecot is no replacement for sendmail, it is a pop3/imap sevrer | 21:16 |

| guntbert | invariant: between what? | 21:17 |
| invariant | guntbert, between sendmail and an imap server for example? | 21:17 |
| invariant | guntbert, I thought sendmail just pointed at the real e-mail server and that dovecot would also be one. | 21:17 |
| shere_khan_ | sorry, wrong channel | 21:18 |
| escott | sedfig, i think you have to hold down shift or tab at boot | 21:18 |
| shere_khan_ | guntbert, sorry, wrong channel | 21:18 |
| invariant | guntbert, apparently it's a Mail Delivery Agent. | 21:18 |
| invariant | guntbert, not a Mail Transfer Agent. | 21:18 |

| guntbert | invariant: ah, I didn't expect you to know those definitions :-) | 21:19 |
| invariant | guntbert, is Postfix a MTA and a MDA or do I need both Postfix and Dovecot for a complete e-mail solution? | 21:20 |

| aniasis | how am I able to get a listing of all packages installed on my systems using aptitude? | 21:40 |
| aniasis | and apt-get | 21:40 |
| bekks | aniasis: "dpkg -l" | 21:40 |
| escott | !clone | aniasis | 21:40 |
| ubot93 | aniasis: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this currently may cause problems with multiarch) - See also !automate | 21:40 |
| Slayback | hi this is the secound time i install Lubuntu 12.04 today, after the first install wifi worked and after another restart the wifi wouldent work anymore, when turning on wifi by pressing Fn and wifi key it said only Dissconnected, i just reinstalled and this is the first time boot, is there anything i can do if the wifi wont work again after a secound reboot?? | 21:41 |
| gmachine_24 | aniasis you mean as in one vs the other? | 21:41 |

| fjodor | hey is it hard to use tpm on ubuntu? | 21:41 |
| fjodor | and what can i use? | 21:41 |
| gmachine_24 | what is tpm | 21:41 |
| fjodor | trusted platform module | 21:41 |
| gmachine_24 | oh | 21:41 |
| fjodor | like my new laptop is gonna have it and i am thinking about activating it | 21:42 |
| gmachine_24 | bekks, ok, thanks to you I now have (supposedly) a bootable flash drive loaded and ready to be tested. thanks again. :) | 21:42 |
| escott | fjodor, tpm or secure boot | 21:42 |
| fjodor | tpm its a thinkpad | 21:42 |
| escott | fjodor, well tpm is just a hardware secured key storage | 21:43 |
| fjodor | well i dont know anything about tpm | 21:43 |
| ver701et | trusted platform module? | 21:44 |
| escott | fjodor, tpm linux will give you lots of links to possible uses | 21:44 |

| goddard | i have a server and on my server my site is requesting a resource from another server i dont recognize how can i figure out which file is making that request? | 21:45 |
| bekks | goddard: You could use lsof | 21:46 |
| sambagirl | hi i have a update version notification. installed version is 1:2.2-0-9-ppa1~precise1 / with available version 1:2,2-0,14~ppa1~precise1? i am running ubuntu precise. | 21:47 |
| ver701et | goddard: shouldn't it be a script, a piece of code, a program that makes a request? | 21:47 |
| sambagirl | It says This update does not come from a source that supports changelogs. | 21:47 |
| ozpy | Hi. I installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on MacBook Pro 5,5... The built-in camera for video chat does not work. | 21:48 |
| goddard | ver701et: yes exactly only i dont know which one it is | 21:48 |
| gac | goddard: how do you know your server is requesting something? | 21:48 |
| ver701et | depends on what processes are running imho | 21:49 |
| goddard | gac: browser debugging | 21:49 |
| gac | goddard: with a browser running on your desktop computer? | 21:49 |
| goddard | gac: yes | 21:49 |
| Burritoh | A friend of mine doesn't have a lot of guts when it comes to online communities. Please be nice to him in two hours or so if he comes asking (and that's a big of :V) He'll probably be asking about ATI graphics drivers. | 21:49 |
| ver701et | lsof is a good start obviously | 21:50 |
| gac | goddard: so it's actually your desktop computer which is making the request...are you sure this isn't malware/adware related? | 21:50 |
| gmachine_24 | bekks, you are the best. I've never booted from a flash drive before - always a live CD. I know I'm going to sound stoopid but the speed dif is amazing | 21:50 |
| gac | ver701et: lsof won't do what he needs; that will show which files are open on the server | 21:50 |
| goddard | gac: it is a faild resource GET attempt when loading the page and I can see the error | 21:50 |
| gac | goddard: in that case you have a URL, yes? Grep the webpages on your server, and see where that URL shows up | 21:51 |
| dsa | bekks i'm in a loop and don't understand how o solve this -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1392887/ | 21:51 |
| dsa | any tip? | 21:51 |
| gac | goddard: something like grep -R "http://bad.url.here" /var/www (or wherever your webpages are) should show you files which contain the URL that's failing | 21:51 |
| goddard | gac: i did that already and it didn't give me any results | 21:52 |
| goddard | gac: it could be encrypted some how | 21:52 |
| goddard | maybe inside a php file | 21:52 |
| ver701et | and what about tcptrack? | 21:52 |
| gac | goddard: yes, it could, in which case you're on your own as we don't know HOW it's encrypted | 21:52 |
| gac | but | 21:52 |
| gac | if it tries to load when you load, say, index.php | 21:52 |
| gac | then you can start there, audit it by hand, then audit any included files | 21:52 |
| gac | etc | 21:52 |

| shoopdewoop | Jordan_U here is my dmesg output http://paste.ubuntu.com/1392892/ (this is sedfig, just logged in with my usual nickname) | 21:53 |
| OerHeks | sambagirl, that depends on the ppa owner, it is no bug. | 21:54 |
| goddard | gac: it is a extremely large system... you mean there is no more fine grained audit tool to see which file exactly made the request? | 21:55 |
| MonkeyDust | sambagirl maybe he forgot about it or passed away | 21:55 |
| gac | goddard: nothing on your server has made the request. the request is made on your browser, on your desktop | 21:55 |
| gac | so no tool on the server will show it | 21:55 |
| bekks | dsa: remove samba4, then remove samba3, then install samba4. | 21:56 |

| gac | goddard: have you tried the obvious test, doing "view source" on the page in question, and seeing if the URL that's failing appears there? | 21:56 |
| shoopdewoop | Jordan_U on it's way! | 21:56 |
| dsa | bekks, thanks how do i know the name of the package is it samba4 | 21:56 |

| gac | rex: if you can see graphics, they [robably are ;) | 21:57 |
| goddard | gac: yeah gives me nothing | 21:57 |
| NOAK360 | Hi there | 21:58 |
| rex | it means it is working. Is there any command to check? | 21:58 |
| dsa | bekks, it returned same thing :x | 21:58 |
| gac | goddard: honestly, it sounds like some kind of malware infection to me...but if there's no plain text matches in grep, and the URL has been encoded somehow, auditing by hand is just about the only way | 21:58 |
| dsa | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1392914/ | 21:58 |
| goddard | gac: it gives me this url scanscout.com | 21:59 |
| gac | goddard: as for it being "a large system", if you can find a page which reliably has this issue, you may only have to check one or two pages of the whole site | 21:59 |
| gac | goddard: is the affected webserver public? | 21:59 |
| Ben64 | So I just jumped on my computer, the cpu was being consumed by gnome-settings-daemon and dconf-service. IO usage was way up, and my Num Lock light on the keyboard was flashing | 21:59 |

| skimini | hi.. after buying a new PC with Win8 pre installed, i have just learnt about UEFI and Secure Boot. I've made a live usb for Ubuntu 12.10, but not matter what I try (with editing BIOS settings) I cannot get it to boot. Help please? | 22:00 |
| bekks | skimini: Thats because of the secure UEFI boot. | 22:01 |
| shoopdewoop | Jordan_U http://imagebin.org/237377 that's the error message | 22:01 |
| Burritoh | didn't Canonical have something to solve the UEFI things? | 22:01 |

| lonewulf85 | Hello I have a WiFi problem, I have the atheros ar5001 card and need the drivers to it could anyone tell me what compat-wireless release would work for this. | 22:02 |
| gmachine_24 | rex, are you having a problem? if so, what is it? | 22:02 |
| bekks | skimini: As far as I know by returning your laptop and bying another without secure UEFI. | 22:02 |
| gac | goddard: are you able to tell me the URL of the site that's affect (via PM if you wish)? | 22:02 |
| sambagirl | dsa no no the rhythm, the ripple, don't believe the hype! | 22:02 |

| rex | well when it was window 7, my netbook was able to play hd video at 1080p. But in ubuntu it is playing slow. | 22:03 |
| Burritoh | skimini: there are plans to get past UEFI in the future.... but these plans are not in force yet, and are pretty recent. http://linux.slashdot.org/story/12/06/22/1233232/ubuntu-lays-plans-for-getting-past-uefi-secureboot | 22:03 |

| gac | goddard: i agree ;) | 22:04 |

| dsa | im a n0ob u know =x | 22:05 |
| Jordan_U | skimini: Burritoh: Ubuntu 12.10 does support UEFI secure boot, the problem is that the tool you used to create the LiveUSB doesn't support UEFI (of any kind). | 22:05 |
| dsa | thanks OerHeks | 22:06 |
| Burritoh | skimini: in my opinion, this UEFI stuff is enough for MS to be fined for anticompetitiveness | 22:06 |
| Burritoh | Jordan_U: ah | 22:06 |
| lonewulf85 | everyone when I type in lspci in my terminal it comes up as the ar5001 | 22:06 |
| rootyour | malwarebites can't be removed cleanly | 22:06 |
| goddard | gac: yep | 22:06 |
| OerHeks | dsa you will learn, stop samba > sudo service smbd stop | 22:06 |
| Burritoh | Jordan_U: maybe he can try a CD then? Or another tool, in this case? | 22:06 |
| gac | goddard: then malware isn't as likely as I thought, I misunderstood and thought your desktop was windows, connecting to your ubuntu webserver...my mistake | 22:07 |
| skimini | Jordan_U ..thank you. That's starting to make sense. I used Universal USB Installer ...is there another one I should be using? | 22:07 |

| Jordan_U | skimini: Try making a USB drive using Ubuntu's USB Startup Disk Creator. If it doesn't work out of the box, I think I can walk you through getting from there to a UEFI (and UEFI with secure boot) bootable USB. | 22:15 |

| skimini | Jordan_U, thanks ...will have a look. Ubuntu site recommends (and provides link to) the Uni. Usb Installer though. I'll see if I can find USB startup Disk Creator ... | 22:17 |
| gordonjcp | athlon1: look in dmesg | 22:17 |
| ViaNocturna | nongoogle: in terminal type 'winecfg' without quotes hit the 'Graphics' tab, tick 'emulate a virtual desktop' and set your resolution. | 22:17 |
| dsa | alright i think i figured it out :D uninstalled "zentyal-samba" module and now i was able to remove old samba | 22:18 |
| dsa | =) | 22:18 |
| Jordan_U | skimini: I think that USB Startup Disk Creator is not available for Windows. This process is much easier from GNU/Linux if you have another GNU/Linux machine you can work from. | 22:18 |
| aniasis | how can I use rsync to copy an entire directory and just replace what is missing | 22:18 |
| dsa | feels good ^^ | 22:19 |
| gmachine_24 | athlon1 I believe #sudo fdisk -l will do it | 22:19 |

| sam_nazarko | still no answer after a week so i'm assuming lvm and mdadm is broken in 12.04 | 22:19 |
| sam_nazarko | why does grub-install segfault on installing to an mdadm | 22:20 |
| Jordan_U | sam_nazarko: Please pastebin the exact command you're running, and the complete output. | 22:20 |
| athlon1 | Not sure. I can see: AVerMedia A815 as /devices/platform/bcm2708_usb/usb1/1-1/1-1.2/1-1.2.1/1-1.2.1:1.1/input/input0 | 22:20 |
| sam_nazarko | jordan_U: grub-install /dev/md126 | 22:20 |
| sam_nazarko | output is | 22:20 |
| sam_nazarko | Segmentation fault | 22:20 |
| dandaman | why is transferring large files to my usb flash drive horribly slow? | 22:21 |
| sam_nazarko | dandaman: use noop scheduler | 22:21 |
| Jordan_U | sam_nazarko: Well, it shouldn't segfault, but that's still not the correct command. grub's boot sector needs to be installed to a device that actually exists (at least as far as the boot firmware is concerned). | 22:21 |
| dandaman | hmm ok | 22:21 |
| gordonjcp | dandaman: because USB is slow, and perhaps you have it plugged into a USB1.1 port | 22:21 |
| Jacruth | Hi guys, do you use pastebinit? Could you explain me how could I set an expiration date for my pastes or how could I select which destination I want to use? | 22:21 |
| dandaman | gordonjcp: no, definitely usb 2.0 | 22:21 |
| gordonjcp | dandaman: make sure you've got it plugged into your PC directly, not through a hub | 22:21 |
| gmachine_24 | aniasis, did you check man rsync - it's got pretty much everything. But, by default, rsync will just replace what's missing | 22:22 |
| gmachine_24 | aniasis, but if you want both copies to be identical you need to use other commands if you remove something from the source folder, e.g. | 22:22 |
| Jordan_U | sam_nazarko: What member devices constitute this RAID array? | 22:22 |
| sam_nazarko | Jordan_U: well running it on sdc/sdd which are my raid1 drives doesn't work | 22:22 |
| sam_nazarko | SDC, SDD. They are RAID1, 2TB. MSDOS partition. Made 1 partition which I used for lvm | 22:22 |
| bekks | dandaman: Because it is USB. | 22:22 |
| Jordan_U | sam_nazarko: What is the output of "sudo grub-install /dev/sdc"? | 22:23 |
| sam_nazarko | thanks for your help, can't figure it out for some time | 22:23 |
| dandaman | bekks: not a proper response, my windows machine does 2 gigs way faster | 22:23 |
| bekks | dandaman: And using the noop scheduler will not increase transfer rates. | 22:23 |

| Jordan_U | sam_nazarko: Did you create the array from member partitions, or "raw" unpartitioned drives? | 22:24 |
| gmachine_24 | dandaman, are you copying or transferring using the terminal or drag-and-drop - because drag-and-drop or using the GUI is way slow | 22:24 |

| dandaman | bekks: the port on the mobo is 2.0, do you mean in terms of software? im not sure what you mean by controller | 22:26 |
| dandaman | however, in disk utility, it detects it as a 2.0 flash disk | 22:26 |
| sam_nazarko | so Jordan_U would this be an acceptable layout: msdos; 1 partition of 2TB, or do i need a 'reserved' area | 22:26 |

| dandaman | bekks: yeah its 2.0 | 22:27 |
| gac | goddard: i'd try loading your site in incognito mode (which should disable all extensions) and see if it still happens | 22:27 |
| gmachine_24 | dandaman, use the command line if you're not | 22:27 |
| Jordan_U | sam_nazarko: For msdos labels the area between the MBR and first partition is used. | 22:27 |
| sam_nazarko | right | 22:28 |
| dandaman | gmachine_24: you mean cp the file? | 22:28 |
| gmachine_24 | dandaman, yes, or the folder | 22:28 |
| gmachine_24 | whatever | 22:28 |
| dandaman | i've tried that as well, i didnt time it, but it definitely took over twice as long as windows | 22:28 |
| sam_nazarko | i am starting the ext4 partition at 4MB for alignment anyway Jordan_U, is the 0s to 4M before that enough for the early stage loaders? | 22:28 |
| gmachine_24 | dandaman, huh. strange. | 22:28 |
| goddard | gac: yep error is gone | 22:28 |
| Jordan_U | sam_nazarko: Yes, more than enough. | 22:28 |
| sam_nazarko | many thanks | 22:28 |
| Jordan_U | sam_nazarko: You're welcome. | 22:28 |
| dandaman | i am on 10.04 LTs | 22:29 |
| gac | goddard: evidence suggests a dubious extension then, should be easy to rectify :) | 22:29 |
| dandaman | not sure if that makes a diff | 22:29 |
| gmachine_24 | dandaman, you have lots of room on your destination drive? | 22:29 |
| sam_nazarko | it's weird, jordan_u i tried gpt yesterday, even with parted setting bios_grub to on, but had no joy | 22:29 |
| dandaman | 4 gig drive, 2 gig file | 22:29 |
| gmachine_24 | dandaman, and what, it's empty or what? | 22:29 |
| dandaman | yep, freshly formatted | 22:29 |
| goddard | gac: odd it might be firebug light | 22:30 |
| nongoogle | how do i make a windowed version of my game solid in color instead of transparent? | 22:30 |
| Jordan_U | sam_nazarko: Make sure that at the end of all this "debconf-show grub-pc" lists the /dev/disk/by-id/ symlinks for *both* of the drives whose partitions make up the array (and no partitions, as grub's boot sector still needs to go in the MBR). If they're not both listed by that command, then run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" to select them both (this will prevent problems on upgrades). | 22:30 |

| dandaman | halp :( | 22:32 |
| Jordan_U | sam_nazarko: You're welcome. | 22:32 |
| gmachine_24 | dandaman, I don't know. using the command line - that's all I use because, for me, it is loads faster. | 22:32 |

| gac | question: I think they go into a subdirectory in /tmp and are deleted when you logout | 22:40 |
| bekks | gac: "they"? | 22:40 |
| gac | guest files | 22:41 |
| question | gac that could be true | 22:41 |
| question | gac i can not login as root anymore | 22:41 |
| question | gac so i login a guest, but after a new login i can not find back my old work | 22:41 |
| bekks | question: You never could, using ubuntu. | 22:41 |
| bekks | !root | question | 22:42 |
| ubot93 | question: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 22:42 |
| gac | question: I'm guessing that your work was saved in /tmp/guest/Documents or similar, and was removed when you logged out of the session | 22:42 |
| gac | it could still be recoverable with data recovery software, depending how long ago this was.. | 22:42 |
| question | gac but how can you use ubuntu in a normal way, if you can not find back old work? | 22:43 |
| gac | question: i don't understand what you mean? | 22:43 |
| gac | question: the guest session is just that, for someone to sit and use your computer as a one-off...if it's your computer, you should have your own account on it, and files saved in that home directory (i.e. /home/gac) don't get deleted on logout | 22:44 |
| question | gac if i quit my geust sessios, login again and can not find my old files, then this is not the way i think about using a PC | 22:44 |
| k1l | question: that is the purpose of the guest account. no data safed. | 22:44 |
| gac | question: I know this sounds like I have a horrible attitude, but you're doing it wrong... | 22:44 |
| k1l | question: so dont use quest account, use a real account | 22:45 |
| k1l | or safe your work on a usb-stick etc. | 22:45 |
| question | gac so i should make a new user , taht is not root but not guest either? | 22:45 |
| gac | question: exactly, you should have done this when you first installed, the installer prompts you to do this | 22:45 |
| k1l | question: sounds crazy, but yes | 22:45 |
| k1l | that is how 99,99% of the other users handle the ubuntu. | 22:46 |
| k1l | question: and using root is not like using "administrator" under windows. its not supposed to use root as real login account on ubuntu. | 22:47 |
| question | ok then i will start to make a new user, thx | 22:47 |
| Stars- | how to change other user password on 12.04? | 22:49 |
| question | new user is created, time to test and become member of the 99.99% ;) | 22:50 |
| gac | Stars-: "sudo passwd user" | 22:50 |
| gmachine_24 | afd you are using a beta or what? | 22:50 |
| Stars- | gac, thanks | 22:50 |
| afd | gmachine_24: I've heard it might come down to this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/UpgradingAlsa/DKMS | 22:50 |

| question | gac , kll <-- thanks | 22:50 |
| Stars- | gac, it wont let me changed | 22:50 |
| gac | nps | 22:51 |
| gac | Stars-: what error? | 22:51 |
| Stars- | gac, Sorry, try again | 22:51 |
| gmachine_24 | afd, ok, that is way above my pay grade | 22:51 |
| gac | Stars-: that could be sudo not accepting your password...what happens if you do "sudo -s"? | 22:52 |
| gustav__ | Thanks for Ubuntu. Oh sorry, that's off topic. | 22:53 |
| === cole is now known as Guest50482 | ||
| thoonai | hey how I get VirtualBox installed? | 22:53 |
| Stars- | gac, let me changed is that be root password or user password? | 22:53 |
| mickster04 | thoonai: software centre? | 22:54 |
| thoonai | I just installed linux headers but hes complaining though :* | 22:54 |
| k1l_ | Stars-: there is no root password on ubuntu | 22:54 |
| gac | Stars-: "sudo -s" will just get you a root shell, to make sure you actually have the right permissions | 22:54 |
| thoonai | :( | 22:54 |
| gac | it won't change anything | 22:54 |
| Rustyblade3 | Hey guys I am trying to get Wine for Ubuntu 12.10 and I get this error | 22:54 |
| === Guest50482 is now known as cole_ | ||
| k1l_ | Stars-: use sudo without any -s or stuff and type the users pw (the user that you are using now) | 22:54 |
| thoonai | mickster04: no i need the usb version | 22:54 |
| Stars- | gac, thanks | 22:54 |
| k1l_ | gac: dont use sudo -s | 22:54 |
| Rustyblade3 | http://pastebin.com/xLwFmTmU | 22:55 |
| gac | k1l_: it's a test to get a shell; if it works, then he can change the password and exit the shell, if it doesn't work then it proves that the error before was coming from sudo, and not from passwd... | 22:55 |
| gmachine_24 | can I run two versions of an OS or two different Oses off one flash drive using unetbootin | 22:55 |
| k1l_ | !sudo | gac | 22:55 |
| ubot93 | gac: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 22:55 |
| bekks | gmachine_24: No. | 22:55 |
| gac | k1l_: I know what it does :) | 22:55 |
| gmachine_24 | bekks, ta. | 22:56 |
| thoonai | hey how I get VirtualBox installed? | 22:56 |
| thoonai | I just installed linux headers but hes complaining though :* | 22:56 |
| Rustyblade3 | Hey guys I want to install WIne on my Ubuntu 12.10 | 22:56 |
| bekks | thoonai: Then install the missing headers. | 22:56 |
| gac | k1l_: but when you run "sudo program" and get an error, it's not obvious whether the error is returned from sudo itself, or from the program you're trying to run. sudo -s helps to eliminate those options :) | 22:56 |
| Rustyblade3 | I cant get it to work | 22:56 |
| thoonai | bekks: how do I found out which I need? | 22:56 |
| sam_nazarko | Jordan_U: still there? | 22:56 |
| Rustyblade3 | here are all the codes to how i TRIED to install it | 22:57 |
| Rustyblade3 | http://pastebin.com/xLwFmTmU | 22:57 |
| bekks | thoonai: vbox tells you what to install, in detail. | 22:57 |
| k1l_ | gac: sudo -i is the way to go if really needed | 22:57 |
| gac | thoonai: generally it would be "linux-headers-generic" | 22:57 |
| gac | k1l_: they do basically the same thing, -s is a non-login shell, -i is a login shell | 22:57 |
| thoonai | bekks: gac why generic? | 22:57 |
| Rustyblade3 | i feel ignored... | 22:57 |
| thoonai | bekks: it doesnt :P | 22:57 |
| gustav__ | Rustyblade3: I feel your pain. Try: sudo apt-get install wine | 22:57 |
| gac | k1l_: the only difference is some of the environment variables, but just for testing a shell, or running passwd, this won't matter | 22:57 |
| Jordan_U | sam_nazarko: Yes. | 22:57 |
| bekks | thoonai: Because that will pull in all necessary headers. And yes, vbox does tell you :) | 22:57 |
| Matenro | Hail to the great ubuntu nation | 22:58 |
| k1l_ | gac: and that enviroment variables can cause more damage | 22:58 |
| Rustyblade3 | Gustav: get the same error | 22:58 |
| Rustyblade3 | http://pastebin.com/xLwFmTmU | 22:58 |
| gac | thoonai: because you are almost certainly running the -generic kernel (unless you know otherwise) and installing that metapackage will keep the headers up to date with your kernel binary package | 22:58 |
| gac | k1l_: -i is more dangerous than -s | 22:58 |
| k1l_ | that is the reason why this is not the ubuntu way and not supported in here | 22:58 |
| gustav__ | Rustyblade3: Post that. | 22:58 |
| Rustyblade3 | http://pastebin.com/xLwFmTmU | 22:58 |
| gustav__ | Rustyblade3: That's the same as before. Paste the new output. | 22:59 |
| gmachine_24 | Rustyblade3, enough. | 22:59 |
| gmachine_24 | gustav_, sorry, I thought he was just pasting from frustration. mea culpa | 23:00 |
| Rustyblade3 | http://pastebin.com/7Cc48WFB | 23:00 |
| gustav__ | Rustyblade3: I think you need to add more of the standard repositories, like universe or multiverse. | 23:01 |
| mickster04 | Rustyblade3: remove the bad sources from your repo list, go to the wine website and follow their instructions...they show you how to get it with the correct sources etc | 23:01 |
| Rustyblade3 | yeah i added the sources from THEIR website using these commands | 23:01 |
| Rustyblade3 | sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa | 23:02 |
| Rustyblade3 | sudo apt-get update | 23:02 |
| Rustyblade3 | sudo apt-get install wine1.5 | 23:02 |
| Rustyblade3 | sudo apt-get install winetricks | 23:02 |
| FloodBot1 | Rustyblade3: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:02 |
| Jacruth | hello, do you know how to change the expiry date for pastebinit? | 23:02 |
| sam_nazarko | Jordan_U I see no references to /dev | 23:02 |
| sam_nazarko | debconf-show grub-pc | 23:02 |
| rex | Rustyblade3: Try this go to software sources and select -->other software --> unselect "ppa:" list of wine the --> sudo apt-get update then install | 23:02 |
| mickster04 | Rustyblade3: update and upgrade | 23:02 |
| gac | Rustyblade3: did you already install wine from the ubuntu repository before trying to install the latest from WINEhq? | 23:03 |
| gmachine_24 | Rustyblade3, ppas are notoriously problematic....... and a beta..... to boot | 23:03 |
| gmachine_24 | I'm just saying | 23:03 |
| rex | Rustyblade3: sudo apt-get install wine1.4-i386 | 23:03 |
| Jordan_U | sam_nazarko: Then the package isn't configured to install grub anywhere on upgrades. Run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" to change that (it will also ask other configuration questions, you can keep them at their defaults). Space bar to select a device, Enter to continue to the next question. | 23:04 |
| Rustyblade3 | i get this error | 23:04 |
| Rustyblade3 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1393059/ | 23:04 |
| gac | Jacruth: it seems that you can add definitions of new pastebins, i'm guessing you can also use these definitions to define a default expiry | 23:05 |
| sam_nazarko | Sweet. So this installs it to both devices | 23:05 |
| Jacruth | but, Do the definitions must be in ~/.pastebinit.d/? | 23:05 |
| sam_nazarko | was going to ask about that, as my intention for putting it in RAID was i wouldn't have to reinstall it to both every time | 23:05 |
| rex | rustyblade: did you unselect the ppa: packages | 23:05 |
| Rustyblade3 | how'd u do that? | 23:06 |
| gac | Jacruth: it seems so; i'm guessing you could create a copy of the default (from /etc/pastebin.d or wherever it lives) in ~/pastebin.d and then edit the expiry in there | 23:06 |
| sam_nazarko | that's fixed now Jordan_U, thanks | 23:06 |
| Jordan_U | sam_nazarko: You're welcome. | 23:06 |
| rex | first open dash type software sources | 23:06 |
| Rustyblade3 | yeah | 23:06 |
| sam_nazarko | rebooting now Jordan_U, will let you know if it works | 23:07 |
| Rustyblade3 | Go to other soft? | 23:07 |
| maicod | hi for wicd there is wicd-curses. Is there a curses based configurer for wpa_supplicant ? | 23:07 |

| Naynay | I scored myself a VIA Artigo 1150, and Ubuntu 12.10 gets stuck in low-graphics mode. Probably has something to do with the VIA chipset in this tiny computer. Funny because the ubuntu installer gave me graphics and a desktop | 23:38 |
| Rustyblade3 | Rex all of my things are updated. It says that | 23:38 |
| mickster04 | Rustyblade3: it said 6 items were not updated? | 23:39 |
| gmachine_24 | when I have things that will not otherwise update, I use sudo aptitude update && upgrade | 23:39 |
| rex | Rustyblade3: have you run last both of the command? | 23:39 |
| gmachine_24 | which always seems to work. anyone else? | 23:40 |

| gmachine_24 | Rustyblade3, and you still got a message that said 6 files could not be updated? | 23:42 |
| JohnTeddy | Why does gcalctool think -2^2 = -4? | 23:42 |
| rex | rustyblade3: Or download team viewer and let someone watch your desktop for problem. | 23:42 |
| Ben64 | Rustyblade3: run this and paste the link here "cat /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* | pastebinit" | 23:43 |
| jrib | JohnTeddy: because it is? | 23:43 |
| Ben64 | jrib: no it isn't | 23:43 |
| jrib | Ben64: yes it is :/ | 23:43 |
| Ben64 | no | 23:43 |
| jrib | Ben64: -2^2 = -(2^2) = -4 | 23:43 |
| Ben64 | -2^2 = (-2)^2 = 4 | 23:43 |
| jrib | Ben64: no. | 23:44 |
| JohnTeddy | What.. why is the negative on the outside of the parenthesis. | 23:44 |
| mickster04 | powers before minus | 23:44 |
| mickster04 | BODMAS | 23:44 |
| JohnTeddy | I even put it as(-2^2) it still says -4 | 23:44 |
| jrib | JohnTeddy: order of operations | 23:44 |
| Rustyblade3 | can anyone remotely control my computer to fix thix? | 23:44 |
| Ben64 | Rustyblade3: i can | 23:44 |
| jrib | JohnTeddy: maybe you want to calculate (-2)^2 | 23:44 |
| mickster04 | jrib: (-2)^2? | 23:44 |
| gmachine_24 | Rustyblade3, I sent you a pm | 23:44 |
| naxil | -2^2= -2 x 2 | 23:44 |
| JohnTeddy | That's silly. | 23:44 |
| Rustyblade3 | ben64 do it | 23:45 |
| jrib | JohnTeddy: not sure what you mean | 23:45 |
| JohnTeddy | I should have to explicitly put the negative outside of the parenthesis. | 23:45 |
| Rustyblade3 | I will give u whatever u need | 23:45 |
| naxil | (-2)^2= (-2) x 2 | 23:45 |
| Ben64 | Rustyblade3: give me ssh or vnc or teamviewer or something | 23:45 |
| jrib | JohnTeddy: this is standard mathematical convention... | 23:45 |
| Rustyblade3 | team viewr in a sec | 23:45 |
| JohnTeddy | If I do (-2^2) it equals -4 in gclac. It should equal 4. I should have to do -(2^2) to get -4 | 23:45 |
| bekks | (-2)^2 = -2 x -2 | 23:45 |
| bekks | It is not -2 x 2 | 23:45 |
| jrib | JohnTeddy: ok, well, go convince the mathematical community of that and change the conventions | 23:45 |
| naxil | a ok | 23:46 |
| mickster04 | JohnTeddy: no? | 23:46 |
| JohnTeddy | bekks: I'm not doing -2 x 2, I'm doing -2 to the power of 2. | 23:46 |
| mickster04 | JohnTeddy: well write that then | 23:46 |
| naxil | i not remember.. i have do that math 10years ago | 23:46 |
| mickster04 | JohnTeddy: do (-2)^2 | 23:46 |
| naxil | i try on gcalv | 23:46 |
| bekks | And (-2)^2 is -2 x -2 | 23:46 |
| rootyour | 4? | 23:46 |
| bkc_ | JohnTeddy: -2^2 == -2x2... | 23:46 |
| bkc_ | -2x-2* | 23:46 |
| naxil | yes is possible | 23:46 |
| JohnTeddy | -2^2 == -2**2 | 23:47 |
| Ben64 | JohnTeddy: open gcalctool, type "-2" then hit enter, then hit "^2" and hit enter again, bam, 4 | 23:47 |
| naxil | -2x-2 is 4 (- x -)=+ | 23:47 |
| jrib | JohnTeddy: you don't have an ubuntu question, you have a math question. I can only suggest you read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations and inquire further in ##math | 23:47 |
| JohnTeddy | Ben64: weird | 23:47 |
| JohnTeddy | why? | 23:47 |
| Ben64 | not really weird | 23:47 |
| Ben64 | if you type it all at once it doesn't know what you want, so it follows the order of operations | 23:47 |
| bkc_ | JohnTeddy: ^ has precadence over - so it reads it as -(2^2), as it should (according to math rules). not that hard to understand really :) | 23:48 |
| gmachine_24 | 1,667 | 23:49 |
| JohnTeddy | I see. | 23:49 |
| mickster04 | Rustyblade3: how are you getting on? | 23:49 |
| JohnTeddy | So it's not seeing the -2 as a single unit. | 23:49 |
| mickster04 | JohnTeddy: correct | 23:49 |
| JohnTeddy | Perhaps it presupposes there could be something to the left of the - | 23:49 |
| JohnTeddy | (which there isn't) | 23:49 |
| Ben64 | no | 23:49 |
| mickster04 | JohnTeddy: well I guess a 0 is there...but it doesn't make a difference | 23:49 |
| bkc_ | JohnTeddy: if you want (-2)*(-2) as a pow, you write it (-2)^2 (as suggested previous), as that is the mathematically correct way of writing it... | 23:49 |
| mickster04 | JohnTeddy: maths doesn't go from left to right | 23:50 |
| Ben64 | you're not doing negative two, it's more like -1*2 | 23:50 |
| naxil | then -2^2=-4 -(2^2)=-4 (-2)^2=4 | 23:50 |
| Ben64 | -1*2^2 | 23:50 |
| Rustyblade3 | now how the F&#$ do i install Teamviewr | 23:50 |
| naxil | -4 | 23:50 |
| bkc_ | Rustyblade3: sudo apt-get install teamviewer | 23:50 |
| dr_willis | Rustyblade3: go to their homepage get the deb? | 23:50 |
| dr_willis | !info teamviewer | 23:50 |
| ubot93 | Package teamviewer does not exist in quantal | 23:50 |
| rex | download here http://www.teamviewer.com/download/teamviewer_linux.deb | 23:50 |
| Ben64 | yeah its not in the repositories, have to get it from the website | 23:51 |
| bkc_ | !info teamviewer3 | 23:51 |
| ubot93 | Package teamviewer3 does not exist in quantal | 23:51 |
| bkc_ | -.- | 23:51 |
| naxil | quantal have kernel shit.. i have install other for have good stability | 23:51 |
| mickster04 | Ben64: that's a horrible way of looking at it :p | 23:51 |
| kantlivelong | hey all.. im using 11.10 with mdraid and its freezing when doing a mkfs.ext3 | 23:51 |
| rex | but after download it open in software center then install | 23:51 |
| Ben64 | mickster04: no | 23:51 |
| gustav__ | JohnTeddy: You're right. It's not doing a complete enough analysis of the expression. | 23:51 |
| dr_willis | or use 'sudo gdebi teamviewer.deb' | 23:51 |
| mickster04 | Ben64: 0-2 is easier | 23:51 |
| gustav__ | A - sign in front a number binds harder than power symbol. | 23:52 |
| jonas-k | How do I completely uninstall and remove everything from a MySQL installation in Linux (Ubuntu)? | 23:52 |
| rex | jonas-k: same thing i also want to ask. | 23:52 |
| jrib | gustav__: he doesn't have a sign, it's subtraction | 23:53 |
| gmachine_24 | johas-k, do you want to just remove it or overwrite the HD to wipe all traces | 23:53 |
| jonas-k | yes is a problem already 4h working with this :) | 23:54 |
| escott | kantlivelong, mdraid... do you mean dmraid or mdadm | 23:54 |
| bkc_ | gmachine_24: I think he means just purge all the configs, storage and whatnot :) | 23:54 |
| kantlivelong | escott: mdadm.. it seems to freeze entirely when making the fs | 23:54 |
| JohnTeddy | jrib: How do I write a negative sign? | 23:54 |
| jrib | JohnTeddy: I don't know. I would just do (-2) | 23:55 |
| JohnTeddy | heh, ok | 23:55 |
| escott | kantlivelong, thats unusual. not sure why that would happen | 23:55 |
| Ben64 | TI calculators make the distinction between (-2) and -2 | 23:55 |
| jrib | JohnTeddy: even when writing something like that, it's going to be unclear unless you use the parentheses | 23:55 |
| Rustyblade3 | when I try to install Teamviewr it says i dont have package ia32-libs | 23:56 |
| bkc_ | Rustyblade3: then install it? | 23:56 |
| Ben64 | oh wait, teamviewer requires wine | 23:56 |
| naxil | http://dpaste.com/838015/ some people know why i have that RULES called UFW on iptables? | 23:56 |
| gmachine_24 | OK, so I guess I'm really not very smrat because I don't understand why all this discussion about -2 and -2^ is about Ubuntu | 23:56 |

| Ben64 | bkc_: yes it does | 23:56 |
| gustav__ | jrib: No, that's a sign, not subtraction. Subtraction requires two numbers. | 23:56 |
| bkc_ | gmachine_24: no idea, I've been wondering that also ^.^ | 23:56 |
| Rustyblade3 | HOW? | 23:57 |
| gmachine_24 | remember the other 1,667 | 23:57 |
| bkc_ | gustav__: actually it doens't | 23:57 |
| mickster04 | Rustyblade3: just set up sshserver | 23:57 |
| bkc_ | Rustyblade3: software senter | 23:57 |
| bkc_ | mickster04: not really the same thing ;) | 23:57 |
| gustav__ | bkc_: Explain. | 23:57 |
| kantlivelong | escott: looks like redoing it works. | 23:57 |
| JohnTeddy | gustav__: I agree. heh | 23:58 |
