| JohnWHSmith | You can edit the boot menu once booted on Win7. Wait, just checking the name of the program.. | 00:16 |
| Riley88 | what | 00:16 |
| JohnWHSmith | EasyBSD, by Neosmart. It allows you to edit the UEFI boot menu. | 00:17 |
| IT-L | what is the config file? | 00:17 |
| mr-rich | time for some kick/ban action ... | 00:17 |
| JohnWHSmith | Basically, GRUB won't show up. You've got to add a GRUB option to the boot menu using EasyBCD of equivalent. | 00:17 |

| Riley88 | oh | 00:20 |
| Riley88 | i dissabled secure boot in bios already | 00:20 |
| JohnWHSmith | I don't do that anymore, just the first time, to add GRUB option in boot menu, using EasyBCD, which is a windows software. | 00:20 |
| IT-L | what is secure boot in BIOS ? | 00:21 |
| JohnWHSmith | Well, you can't really access BIOS under a UEFI-based system can you? | 00:21 |
| Riley88 | u have to buy that though | 00:21 |
| JohnWHSmith | that? | 00:21 |
| Riley88 | easybcd | 00:22 |
| JohnWHSmith | Free software :) | 00:22 |
| JohnWHSmith | Freeware* sorry x) | 00:22 |
| Riley88 | im on neosmart.net and its telling me to buy it | 00:22 |

| jamamp | I have a problem. MacBookPro 6,2 recent install of ubuntu 12.10. first boot all sound worked fine. After reboot the sound keys and skype sounds do not work. Flash and system test sounds work fine. anyone know a quick fix? | 00:25 |
| JohnWHSmith | Sound card drivers...? | 00:26 |
| jamamp | Well I'm thinking it's PulseAudio, because Adobe flash in chrome and the system test sounds work perfectly. And I do not know exactly where to get the right drivers | 00:27 |
| ActionParsnip | jamamp: try: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* wait 10 seconds and reboot | 00:27 |
| JohnWHSmith | How rough... X) | 00:28 |
| jamamp | ActionParsnip, will do, thank you. | 00:28 |
| dr_willis | IOmegaZ: compiz is in 12.10 | 00:29 |

| Dougie187 | Is there an easy way to force apport to generate a bug report? | 00:32 |
| Dougie187 | or, to force a program to "unexpectedly close" to trigger apport? | 00:32 |
| trism | Dougie187: just do: ubuntu-bug package_name; | 00:32 |
| ActionParsnip | jamamp: should be fine :) | 00:32 |
| Rustyblade3 | Hey guys I have Ubuntu 12.10 and I am running it alongside Windows 7. How can I increase the Ubuntu partition without losing data? | 00:32 |
| Dougie187 | trism: does that go through all of the steps? like core dumps and the whole 9 yards? | 00:33 |
| almoxarife | Rustyblade3: can you take it from the win partition? | 00:33 |
| trism | Dougie187: well, there might be a dump in /var/crash, you can also do: ubuntu-bug /var/crash/crashfile | 00:33 |
| Rustyblade3 | What do you mean by that? | 00:33 |
| Rustyblade3 | Yeah I have enough space | 00:33 |
| Dougie187 | trism: well, I want to mimic what would happen when it tries to generate the crash file. | 00:33 |
| trism | Dougie187: why? | 00:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Rustyblade3: your backups will maintain data intgrity | 00:34 |
| Rustyblade3 | So I backup the whole system | 00:34 |
| Rustyblade3 | And then make a new partition? | 00:34 |
| almoxarife | Rustyblade3: i mean that to increase size you must gain it from somewhere, so if there is unused that is the best, otherwise one of the partitions needs to get slimmer | 00:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Rustyblade3: you SHOULD have backed up whatever is important to you | 00:34 |
| Rustyblade3 | Yeah I have enough space to take it from windows :D | 00:35 |
| Dougie187 | It's kind of a long story. But... I was banned from Diablo 3, and I didn't do anything. So I'm trying to figure out if generating a core dump can trigger warden to think you're hacking. | 00:35 |
| Dougie187 | trism: ^^ | 00:35 |
| almoxarife | Rustyblade3: what ActionParsnip... said too | 00:35 |
| Rustyblade3 | Well so can I do it without backing up? | 00:35 |
| almoxarife | Rustyblade3: sure, its your call | 00:36 |
| Rustyblade3 | Sure then show me | 00:36 |
| JohnWHSmith | ... or perhaps you could contact Blizzard banning department or something like that? x) | 00:36 |
| almoxarife | Rustyblade3: but if it all goes to hell, it was your call | 00:36 |
| Rustyblade3 | Ok.... | 00:36 |
| Rustyblade3 | Lemme think about this.. | 00:37 |
| almoxarife | Rustyblade3: simple way is to use 'gparted' livecd, need to get the iso and burn it to cd/usb, then run it | 00:37 |
| trism | Dougie187: well you could do something silly like launch the program and: kill -s 11 pid; | 00:37 |
| Dougie187 | ok cool | 00:37 |
| JohnWHSmith | I really like "silly" there x) | 00:37 |

| ActionParsnip | rredd4: did you install Ubuntu to the Ext4 partition? | 01:19 |

| keithclark | I want to setup a multimedia server on a headless, server machine that I have. What is the best program for that? | 01:20 |
| rredd4 | ActionParsnip I installed 11.1 on my usb drive and selected ext4 journ. | 01:20 |
| rredd4 | ActionParsnip so i guess the answer is yes | 01:21 |
| darkhalo117 | @blackbuntu once I got the file system down and the way things are organized, the things I do on Ubuntu get more and more complex | 01:24 |
| ActionParsnip | rredd4: do you need to hold a button at boot to make the mac boot the USB? | 01:24 |
| darkhalo117 | Running games on Ubuntu is probably a prime example | 01:25 |
| rredd4 | yes option, but it did not show up. ActionParsnip | 01:25 |

| rredd4 | ActionParsnip when i have the usb drive connected, osx asks to "ignore, eject, or format" | 01:26 |
| ftruzzi | Hi! I just installed ubuntu and formatted my previous linux (archlinux), I used syslinux there, and I think ubuntu didnt changed my MBR, idk when I tryed to boot, it sayed a error message saying that I have multiple partitions and I should select or something... , anyone knows how I can fix this? | 01:26 |
| ActionParsnip | rredd4: do youo have grub installed to the MBR of the drive | 01:27 |
| rredd4 | yes | 01:27 |
| myton | 12.10 live cd "try" option asking for login | 01:27 |
| L3mce | ftruzzi: you arent talking about the grub menu are you? | 01:27 |
| myton | think so | 01:28 |
| ActionParsnip | myton: press CTRL+ALT+F1 and run: passwd ubuntu then set the password and press cTRL+ALT+F7 and log in as ubuntu with the password you set | 01:28 |
| ftruzzi | L3mce: no! it appears that message when u have no system installed | 01:28 |
| ftruzzi | I should write it down ;< | 01:28 |
| L3mce | k... just checking. | 01:28 |
| myton | ActionParsnip, trying it | 01:28 |
| ftruzzi | L3mce: ubuntu use grub or syslinux or lilo? | 01:29 |
| L3mce | ftruzzi: It uses grub2 | 01:29 |
| L3mce | Can install it manually. | 01:29 |
| ftruzzi | L3mce: akward it should install it when you install ubuntu! Yeah I will need to do it, I think syslinux showed up but since there is no more /boot with information it just stayed there with no clue to what to do | 01:30 |
| L3mce | I have a script you can run from a live cd that will guide you through it... or do it automatically if there is only one OS and partition avail. | 01:30 |
| mega1 | does the command svn not work in server 12 | 01:31 |
| ftruzzi | L3mce: I have 5 partitions, main (linux), /home, swap, windows, and data | 01:31 |
| myton | ActionParsnip, I'm in. Thanks for the help. | 01:31 |
| ActionParsnip | mega1: there is no 'server 12' | 01:31 |
| L3mce | It will walk you through it | 01:31 |
| ActionParsnip | myton: sweet | 01:31 |
| ftruzzi | nice | 01:31 |
| ActionParsnip | mega1: do you mean Ubuntu Server 12.04? | 01:31 |
| mega1 | yes | 01:33 |
| mega1 | i was trying svn co http://www.... and it says svn command not found | 01:35 |

| CodeWar | while purging old kernels using regex I accidentally removed the current kernel. I m guessing on next reboot I m toast. How do I reinstall the current kernel (I m on Ubuntu 12.10) | 01:42 |
| newroad | hello everyone, I'm having an issue related to x64 and Wine. If I run: sudo winetricks d3dx9 vcrun2005 vcrun2008, I get this error: wine cmd.exe /c echo '%ProgramFiles%' returned empty string | 01:42 |
| CodeWar | dpkg --list | grep linux-image shows nothing | 01:42 |
| CodeWar | *sudo apt-get purge linux-image-3.0* thats how I removed my kernels | 01:42 |
| newroad | If I try without the sudo, I get: mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/user/.cache/winetricks/directx9': Permission denied | 01:42 |
| gajbooks | CodeWar: You install Debian. | 01:43 |
| ActionParsnip | newroad: why are you using sudo with wine stuf?? | 01:43 |
| newroad | I'm having an issue trying to install Borderlands. when it gets to the end of the install, it tries to install Visual Studio libraries and hands. | 01:44 |
| ActionParsnip | newroad: you don't need sudo to run wine stuff, you have probably made your ~/.wine folder be owned by root because you are using root when it's not needed. | 01:44 |
| newroad | I read this was related to an issue with x64 wine now seeing the program files filder? | 01:44 |
| ActionParsnip | newroad: again, why are you using sudo with wine? | 01:44 |
| newroad | I don't know, I'm a noob man | 01:45 |
| newroad | what should I do? | 01:45 |
| trism | CodeWar: sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic; should do the trick | 01:45 |
| crackerjackz | newroad: just run wine | 01:45 |

| gajbooks | Answers to everyones problems: Install slackware/Debian. | 01:45 |

| budmang | Hey Guys, Im installing ubuntu 12.04 as I do always.... but this raid/box states I need an EFI partition? Is this easy? I dont see much or major processes to get it to work | 01:45 |
| ftruzzi_ | L3mce: can u pvp me? I dont know how to open it in webchat | 01:45 |
| blackbuntu | probly what newroad did is gave it root permissions and he needs to edit it back to his name | 01:45 |
| newroad | here's what it says if i run without sudo: | 01:45 |
| newroad | mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/user/.cache/winetricks/directx9': Permission denied | 01:45 |
| ActionParsnip | newroad: sudo is ONLY needed when you need access to something that isn't owned by you and you need to make changes to it | 01:45 |
| CodeWar | trism, yes that worked, thanks! | 01:46 |
| ActionParsnip | newroad: like system upgrades and writing files outside of your user home. | 01:46 |
| gajbooks | budmang: Are you not using guided? | 01:46 |
| budmang | no I guess I shoudl.. I normally do a 4GB swap and /root its always worked. | 01:46 |
| newroad | but i am geting permission denied without sudo | 01:46 |
| ActionParsnip | newroad: the entirety of your wine folder is inside of your home folder, your user has full access to this, so sudo isn't needed | 01:46 |
| ftruzzi_ | L3mce: I think that when u chroot in ubuntu partition, it doesnt have grub by default (only in the livecd) | 01:47 |
| crackerjackz | try sudo mkdir /home/user/.cache/winetricks/directx9 | 01:47 |
| crackerjackz | and then run wine maybe | 01:47 |
| gajbooks | budmang: You change a partition and it should give you an EFI boot partition option or something. | 01:47 |
| ActionParsnip | newroad: yes, you are getting permission denied because you probably ran the first wine command you ran using sudo, this will run it as root so the ~/.wine folder will be owned by root so youruser now is denied access | 01:47 |
| budmang | I looked F... Ill check again | 01:47 |
| ActionParsnip | newroad: you have created the issue | 01:47 |
| ActionParsnip | newroad: you don't use sudo for EVERY command line command, you will break your OS | 01:48 |
| newroad | actionpartnership, no need to be abusive | 01:48 |
| ziantos | newroad: You can use chown to change the owner back to you. This time you'll have to do sudo since you don't own it. | 01:48 |
| ActionParsnip | newroad: when was I abusive? I'm stating the issue and why what you have been doing is causing an issue | 01:48 |

| ActionParsnip | IdleOne: exactly, so people can call me abusive when I'm not.....weird | 01:54 |
| ActionParsnip | newroad: if data is being manipulated in your home folder, you don't need sudo | 01:54 |

| Pinkamena_D | hello, i have a problem where sometimes after resuming my laptop, it will not ask for the password, it will just work normally. This hardly ever happens, i think about two times sience i installed, but still it seems like a major security flaw. | 03:01 |
| Pinkamena_D | is this bug well known? | 03:01 |
| escott | sin_tax, should just be /etc/motd | 03:04 |
| Pinkamena_D | i think this is linked to the fact that ubuntu take a moment to load the password screen after resume. it actually shws what was last on the screen for a few seconds before asking for password. (something else i don't really like very much) | 03:04 |
| escott | Pinkamena_D, but but but... did you see the way the screen rolls up after you put in the password. did you see how pretty that was | 03:06 |
| jester_ | any luck with intel ati hybrid graphics anyone? | 03:07 |

| Pinkamena_D | =D | 03:07 |
| sin_tax | escott, thanks, that seems to be it, is there a way to run the MOTD again without exiting and relogging into the server? | 03:07 |
| escott | Pinkamena_D, actual security and functionality of screensavers have gone completely out the window ever since they switched away from xscreensaver. its been all downhill since then | 03:08 |
| escott | sin_tax, cat /etc/motd if it is a file, execute it if it is an executable | 03:10 |
| escott | !motd | 03:10 |
| escott | not really sure how it is configured | 03:11 |

| sklz | I've been dealing with this issue all day | 03:19 |
| sklz | I tried setting up a second monitor on my pc | 03:20 |
| rhin0 | sklz you need the driver for dual monitors | 03:20 |
| escott | sklz, unless you are using nvidia drivers shouldn't be much of an issue | 03:20 |
| rhin0 | hardware driver | 03:20 |
| sklz | ubuntu 14 box | 03:20 |
| sklz | sorry 12 | 03:20 |

| sklz | so I reverted my box to 11 | 03:21 |
| sklz | now i can see both extended but the resolutions don't work its messy | 03:21 |

| Braden` | Hello | 03:24 |
| Braden` | What is the best method to create a root jail? | 03:24 |
| escott | Braden`, root cannot be jailed | 03:24 |
| sajan | Braden`, what do you mean by a root jail? If you give someone root access...they have root access. | 03:24 |
| sajan | Braden`, are you wanting to create a virtual machine? Or are you wanting to do jails like a BSD? | 03:25 |
| lapion | well sajan unless you create a chroot.... | 03:25 |
| escott | lapion, root cannot be jailed by chroot | 03:25 |
| sajan | Exactly. The purpose of the root account is that it can do anything. | 03:26 |
| Braden` | oh | 03:26 |
| Braden` | My apologies, let me rephrase my question | 03:26 |
| sajan | Braden`, what are you trying to do more specifically? | 03:26 |
| Braden` | I have some developers whom I want to give a very limited access to my machine so that they can ssh in and compile C++ programs. | 03:27 |
| Braden` | I would like them to operate in a jail | 03:27 |
| escott | Braden`, thats hardly limited | 03:27 |
| Braden` | escott: Its more limited than them seeing everything | 03:27 |
| escott | Braden`, if you are going to give them access to a compiler you might as well just give them a normal user account | 03:27 |
| === atrius_away is now known as atrius | ||
| escott | Braden`, ie. if you dont want them to run program X. they can just upload the source to X and compile it and run their own copy. done | 03:28 |
| Braden` | hmm | 03:28 |
| escott | Braden`, if you want an effective restriction while giving them a compiler you need to setup a VM or use containers like openvz | 03:29 |
| Braden` | I don't have the system resources for that | 03:29 |
| Braden` | Server only has 1 gig of ram of which mysql consumes most | 03:30 |
| escott | Braden`, then its not an appropriate machine to act as a compile engine | 03:30 |
| Braden` | Ok | 03:31 |
| Braden` | I will heed your advice and think of some other solution | 03:31 |
| escott | Braden`, chroot almost never works on modern systems. its too complex to give anyone anything marginally useful without opening it up to anything | 03:32 |
| escott | Braden`, virtualization or containers are good. or give them a normal user account and just trust that you installed good packages and can secure your filesystem | 03:33 |
| escott | Braden`, in your case you might look at purchasing time on things like Amazon EC2 | 03:33 |

| Josh4789 | Can anybody help me set up a Compaq IJ650 Printer on Ubuntu 12.04 Server i cant figure it out | 03:36 |

| escott | sklz, there are none to copy | 03:41 |
| szal | under normal circumstances, that is | 03:41 |
| sklz | really? | 03:41 |
| szal | unless you run the proprietary NVIDIA driver, it's usually all plug-and-play autoconfig | 03:42 |
| sklz | so my thumb drive works fine when i boot into it for my dual displays but when I login to my desktop the monitors don't extend | 03:42 |
| sklz | there has to be a config file somewhere to mock the thumb drive | 03:44 |
| adknight87 | Hmm | 03:44 |
| escott | sklz, no there isnt | 03:47 |
| sklz | escott I thought everything in linux was saved to a config file | 03:48 |
| usr13 | Anyone know how to do pier to pier video-conferencing, (just within a LAN). Maybe using something like Ekiga. (I'm supposing it might require setting up some sort of Voip server with in the LAN.) In other words, I'm looking for a video-conferencing solution for use [only] inside a LAN. | 03:48 |
| escott | sklz, no. x has been autoconfig for about 5-6 years now | 03:48 |
| escott | usr13, peer to peer not pier to pier | 03:49 |
| usr13 | escott: Thank you. peer to peer.... got it. | 03:49 |
| escott | usr13, and thats not what peer to peer means | 03:50 |
| usr13 | escott: Well, maybe not. Scratch that part. | 03:50 |
| escott | usr13, pretty much all video conferencing is peer to peer in the sense that the data stream doesn't go through anyone else. but within a subnet is easy. you don't need to do anything special to traverse NATs | 03:50 |
| usr13 | What I want is audio and video across [inside] the LAN. | 03:50 |
| === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st | ||
| sklz | escott thx | 03:51 |
| escott | usr13, so anything should work. Ekiga should be fine. see if you can make direct calls to ip addresses with ekiga | 03:51 |
| usr13 | escott: Doesn't even need to traverse a NAT, just within the LAN. | 03:51 |
| usr13 | escott: Yea, ok. I'll just install it and expiriment with it. | 03:51 |
| usr13 | Thanks. | 03:52 |
| oscar | CECILIA | 03:52 |
| escott | usr13, point is the only purpose of a central server is NAT traversal and username lookups. if you know who you want to call and where they are the central server is useless | 03:52 |
| szal | escott: not that long.. but 3 or 4 years could well be | 03:52 |
| escott | usr13, something like bonjour can let you broadcast the service and username on the local domain | 03:53 |

| plustax | Question. I use team viewer from my phone to my laptop but I don't want to leave my laptop completely on. Is there any way to wake my laptop up from a suspend or hibernation from my phone with team viewer? I feel like leaving my laptop fully on would eventually mess up my battery | 04:15 |
| plustax | Would it hurt to leave my laptop on allvtge time and would it be better to remove the battery and run on Ac? | 04:16 |
| crimsonmane | anisha: click View, then deselect the Nicks, then View again and re-select the Nicks. Let me know if that helps or not. | 04:16 |

| plustax | budmang: okay what do you recommend I do for sleep settings? Can team viewer wake it from sleep? | 04:17 |
| budmang | You would need to ask teamviwer.. but probbaly not.. you could setup some kinda WAKE on LAN if your PC supports it. | 04:17 |
| plustax | Hmm. Never heard of anything like that | 04:18 |
| Shirakawasuna | Is using LVM across multiple disks riskier, since it only takes one disk to fail for the whole thing to be borked? I do backups regularly, but preventing crashes is also nice. | 04:18 |

| James_Carter | my apps lag and everything | 04:19 |
| escott | James_Carter, slow is a very subjective thing. | 04:19 |
| sklz | James_Carter, thats a really broad statement. Ubuntu usually boots a lot faster than any windows | 04:20 |
| sklz | is that the prob you have? | 04:20 |
| escott | James_Carter, is it latency or throughput or what | 04:20 |
| L3mce | James_Carter: probably related to your GPU. lspci -nn | grep VGA | 04:20 |

| James_Carter | i only have ubuntu no windows anymore | 04:21 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, there is a risk yes. i dont know enough about ext4 to say how well it handles having a big chunk of the disk disappear, but it won't see through the LVM layer to know where it is putting its superblocks. it would be a good idea to manually force superblocks onto each disk | 04:21 |

| escott | Shirakawasuna, neither have I. you might check in #ubuntu-server, but I know you can adjust where ext keeps its backup superblocks and it would seem a good idea to make sure those land on different physical disks. that said LVM is really intended for situations where you plan to grow the logical disk. so people use it when they plan to upgrade a machine over years and gradually replace disks with larger ones as they fail.

| bobweaver | ubottu, sometimes I ought | 04:41 |
| ubottu | bobweaver: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 04:41 |
| James_Carter | is the quake terminal cool? | 04:41 |
| James_Carter | i saw it in software center | 04:41 |
| bobweaver | James_Carter, only if yu think so | 04:41 |
| bobweaver | you * | 04:42 |
| Bustacap | You mean guake terminal? | 04:42 |
| James_Carter | lol well ivenever tryed it | 04:42 |
| James_Carter | idk...but it said quake type terminal | 04:42 |
| Braden` | escott: Thank you! | 04:42 |
| bobweaver | James_Carter, you also see terminator or how ever it is spleled | 04:42 |
| Braden` | Didn't find it so apparently I don't have the necessary manpages, but that utility is nice | 04:42 |
| bobweaver | !info termanator | 04:42 |
| James_Carter | yeh | 04:42 |
| ubottu | Package termanator does not exist in quantal | 04:42 |
| James_Carter | were u can run several terms at once | 04:43 |
| bobweaver | James_Carter, what bout screen ? | 04:43 |
| James_Carter | wat is quantal? | 04:43 |
| bobweaver | on top | 04:43 |
| James_Carter | !info quantal | 04:43 |
| ubottu | Package quantal does not exist in quantal | 04:43 |
| James_Carter | screen? | 04:43 |
| heoyea | tmux | 04:43 |
| `z | hello! i've got a problem with hal (i guess). whenever i try to mount a removable disk from nautilus or thunar, it mounts it in /media/derp/<name> instead of /media/<name> | 04:44 |
| `z | making derp a file causes it to error instead of reverting back to /media/* | 04:44 |
| bobweaver | heoyea, you kidz and your fancy tools :) | 04:44 |
| escott | `z, so whats your problem | 04:45 |
| `z | escott, how do i set the default hotplug mountpoint to /media/* | 04:45 |
| L3mce | James_Carter: you can run as many terminals in your desktop(s) as you want... screen is a very cool utility that does a lot. man screen in terminal | 04:45 |
| `z | instead of /media/derp/* | 04:45 |
| RickZilla | Running 12.10, recent install, every once in awhile I'll come across a web page with a button that links to something like apt://nameofapp, and when I click on it it asks me what application I should associate it with. What are my choices here? | 04:45 |
| bobweaver | rotflol heoyea | 04:45 |
| escott | `z, why would you want that | 04:45 |
| `z | RickZilla, probably ubuntu software center | 04:45 |
| `z | escott, because right now, all my removable devices are stuck in /media/derp/ | 04:45 |
| RickZilla | k, how would I go about associating that? | 04:46 |
| escott | `z, and what is wrong with that. thats the correct place | 04:46 |
| `z | so i have to go into /media/derp/usb1 to access my files | 04:46 |
| `z | instead of /media/usb1 | 04:46 |
| L3mce | RickZilla: apt should not be a prefix... and if it were trusted it would be in your repository... and if it is not... I am not sure you WANT to associate it with something. | 04:46 |
| `z | i think you're misunderstanding my question. | 04:46 |
| === [entropy] is now known as [ent] | ||
| James_Carter | L3mce: so once xfce is done then wat? | 04:47 |
| RickZilla | L3mce Here's an example: https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/supertuxkart/ | 04:47 |
| `z | escott, what i want is to have all my removable disks mounted in a directory in /media, not /media/derp | 04:47 |

| James_Carter | can u buy a computer with linux OS preinstalled? | 04:48 |
| `z | James_Carter, sure | 04:49 |
| RickZilla | Dell used to offer that, I don't know if they do any more | 04:49 |
| user123abc | James_Carter, system76 makes ubuntu computers nowadays | 04:49 |

| `z | James_Carter, decent | 04:50 |
| Mango_Man | ubuntu gaming laptops? why buy a linux gaming laptop when there aren't any games on linux | 04:50 |
| `z | quite high powered | 04:50 |
| `z | Mango_Man, steam for linux | 04:50 |
| L3mce | James_Carter: on the login screen, can you click the gear icon and select xfce? | 04:50 |
| James_Carter | like? lol | 04:50 |
| Mango_Man | yeah, but not many on steam for linux yet | 04:50 |
| Mango_Man | i've yet to try tf2 on S4L | 04:50 |
| user123abc | Mango_Man, I'd do that if I planned to dualboot windows for gaming, but I preferred to do my real work in Linux | 04:50 |
| heoyea | is a scam | 04:50 |
| James_Carter | ok thnx l3mce...oh and were is the restart/shutdown option on here lol | 04:50 |
| RickZilla | I'm two windows apps from ditching it all together, maybe some day, but not yet | 04:50 |
| L3mce | where is here James_Carter? | 04:51 |
| Mango_Man | yeah, the only good windows apps are Unity and Steam | 04:51 |
| James_Carter | windows blows! | 04:51 |
| escott | Alice_linux, i don't care about the last line. what about the lightdm line | 04:51 |
| user123abc | felixhandte, that looks nasty - if no one here can help maybe #linux can help | 04:51 |
| RickZilla | I use Lightroom extensively for what I do...nothing else compares in Linux | 04:51 |
| user123abc | RickZilla, have you tried running windows in a VM? | 04:52 |
| user123abc | RickZilla, for non-gaming stuff, it works great | 04:52 |
| James_Carter | r there any like alt OSs other than mac/windows/linux? | 04:52 |
| Alice_linux | i will check again | 04:52 |
| bobweaver | I want to DL my own vid from yTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pER9B5Jo5dI) maybe I should use script http://paste.ubuntu.com/1403782/ should I use env ? | 04:52 |
| L3mce | RickZilla: if you just install from software center you wont have to deal with associating whatever file it is downloading... though I would expect it to dl a .deb, which should automatically associate with the gnu package manager... probably synaptic... not sure. | 04:52 |
| user123abc | RickZilla, "windows" becomes just another application that runs in your linux environment | 04:52 |
| heoyea | James_Carter: BSD, reactOS, Haiku | 04:52 |
| bobweaver | what do you think? | 04:53 |
| James_Carter | r they opensource? | 04:53 |
| heoyea | James_Carter: ye | 04:53 |
| James_Carter | u tryed em? | 04:53 |
| Mango_Man | or you could write your own OS :D | 04:53 |
| user123abc | James_Carter, plan9 | 04:53 |
| heoyea | yep | 04:53 |
| bobweaver | Mango_Man, how to do that ? | 04:53 |
| johnshaft | Test | 04:53 |
| bobweaver | !test | 04:53 |
| ubottu | Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use /join #test ) | 04:53 |

| johnshaft | :-) cheers | 04:54 |
| bobweaver | Mango_Man, http://xkcd.com/705/ | 04:54 |
| escott | `z, really dont see why you would want to do that. having those in /media is very problematic. the config would somehow be related to udisks but no idea where | 04:55 |
| `z | escott, i don't really see how it would be problematic seeing that it's the default | 04:55 |
| `z | /media/<labelname> | 04:55 |
| RickZilla | n/m, found out how to do it. btw, apt:// is a real url https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptURL | 04:56 |
| `z | but thanks, will try looking some more | 04:56 |
| escott | `z, was the default. problem is why should another use be able to see that i mounted anything | 04:56 |
| `z | i see | 04:56 |
| `z | okay then | 04:56 |
| James_Carter | ok my sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop is done...were is restart/shutdown? | 04:56 |
| bobweaver | I want to DL my own vid from yTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pER9B5Jo5dI) maybe I should use script http://paste.ubuntu.com/1403782/ should I use env ? | 04:56 |

| James_Carter | ohh lol nvm found it | 04:57 |

| James_Carter | ill be bak | 04:58 |
| Poindexter_ | Is there an Ubuntu user groups reader and the main question is there a free usenet server to log into? | 04:58 |
| bobweaver | thanks IdleOne seems like the api cahnged over night could be wrong also seems like pacakge you yviewer and all tath is not working | 04:58 |
| bobweaver | like all th eapi public changed | 04:59 |
| bobweaver | api * | 04:59 |
| bobweaver | can see in dash | 04:59 |
| heoyea | bobweaver: run sudo youtube-dl -U to update | 04:59 |
| bobweaver | I will try | 04:59 |
| bobweaver | pthanks | 05:00 |
| bobweaver | pbuilder --thanks | 05:00 |
| RickZilla | Recommendation for something besides Unity? Cinnamon, perhaps? I've only ever used that in Linux Mint | 05:00 |

| bobweaver | just like ggole weather | 05:02 |
| otend | Is it safe to remove ubuntu-desktop if I am using a different DE? | 05:02 |
| bobweaver | afride to say name | 05:02 |
| otend | Or will it screw everything up? | 05:02 |
| escott | Poindexter_, *that* bothered you? not the charging twice what every other country charges for a tenth the speed | 05:02 |
| otend | or, actually, to rephrase it | 05:02 |
| otend | if I am using xubuntu-desktop | 05:02 |
| bobweaver | also watchseries scope | 05:02 |
| James_Carter | lol wow!!! way toooo fast xD | 05:03 |
| heoyea | bobweaver: dont need to use any lens or scope is basically just links to open web browser | 05:03 |

| otend | I'm trying to nuke Pulseaudio, and I need to know if that package is vital. | 05:04 |
| L3mce | James_Carter: Like I said... it is a very minimal environment. It doesnt need much so it flies. Lubuntu is even thinner actually. KDE is a little bit heavy, but brings all the eyecandy your equipment can support. | 05:04 |
| Poindexter_ | Escott Comcast changed the email port without telling it's customers as well. | 05:04 |
| James_Carter | wats xbunutu like? | 05:04 |
| otend | middle-of-the-road | 05:04 |
| L3mce | James_Carter: and again... there are several DEs. | 05:04 |
| otend | it's nice | 05:04 |
| otend | in my opinion, at least | 05:04 |
| heoyea | bobweaver: UbuntuTV not even out yet, still alpha | 05:04 |
| L3mce | James_Carter: xubuntu is essentially what you are running now. Ubuntu with the xfce interface... more or less | 05:04 |
| escott | Poindexter_, again. *that* bothered you? you must be the only customer who actually uses their services | 05:04 |
| James_Carter | this DE is easier to navigate thru | 05:05 |
| bobweaver | sorry it is never going to happen at this rate | 05:05 |
| otend | I'm going to take this as a yes | 05:05 |
| escott | otend, yes it is vital | 05:05 |
| otend | Oh. | 05:05 |
| Poindexter_ | Escott, you take what is available at the time. | 05:05 |
| L3mce | James_Carter: trying different DEs is free btw ;) you can just install kubuntu-desktop and see if you like it better | 05:05 |
| bobweaver | heoyea, killing unity 2d was not a good idea ? | 05:05 |
| James_Carter | cool...is thr like a place that shows all the DEs and has displays? | 05:06 |
| otend | I'm asking because I'm getting pretty constant audio bugs, and people are informing me that Pulseaudio causes problems. | 05:06 |
| L3mce | Not exactly... as they extend beyond what is supported here James_Carter. | 05:06 |
| L3mce | !derivatives | 05:06 |
| ubottu | There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) | 05:06 |
| escott | otend, there are a lot of people who complain about pulse/systemd because they don't like poettering. it solves a very difficult problem and it does a good just at it these days. removing it is probably just going to make things worse | 05:06 |
| heoyea | bobweaver: both garbage anyways | 05:07 |
| bobweaver | heoyea, yuo are right 2d sux http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfrm117Ukr0 | 05:07 |
| otend | joy | 05:07 |
| otend | maybe asking for a direct fix would be easier. | 05:07 |
| bobweaver | eff all the 2d dvs | 05:07 |
| James_Carter | oh is thr a backtrack DE? | 05:07 |
| bobweaver | we sux | 05:07 |
| Poindexter_ | Thanks anyways for the input Escott. :) | 05:07 |
| otend | I'm rather consistently having severe audio problems, ranging from headphone out randomly dying for hours at a time to programs muting each other by taking over the sound output. are there ways to fix this that I can be stepped through? | 05:08 |
| L3mce | yes James_Carter... but it is off topic here | 05:08 |
| escott | Poindexter_, usenet isn't that popular these days, but im sure there are free usenet servers out there you can connect to | 05:08 |
| James_Carter | off topic? cuz its a penetration type thing? | 05:08 |
| otend | !derivatives | 05:08 |

| escott | otend, "programs... taking over sound output" sounds like they aren't going through pulse. not that pulse is messing things up | 05:08 |
| bobweaver | heoyea, we make be garbge but we run on gles unity 3d does that or is it llvm | 05:09 |
| L3mce | James_Carter: because this is the official ubuntu support channel, and it is not supported here as the bot said. | 05:09 |

| SuperNoeMan | do you have a job in ubuntu or open source that has you on here so much always helping? | 05:10 |
| escott | otend, pulse emulates 99% of alsa and provides that emulated driver to the applications to connect to | 05:10 |
| Poindexter_ | Escott Linus Torvolds introduced Linux on the News Groups. | 05:10 |
| L3mce | escott: ? | 05:10 |
| escott | otend, sounds like some of your applications are not talking to pulse and trying to go direct to alsa and breaking things | 05:11 |

| L3mce | I am not sure exactly what you mean by stanzas. An example xorg.conf modeline is Modeline "1920x1080" 148.5 1920 1960 2016 2200 1080 1082 1088 1125 | 05:19 |
| bobweaver | /msg escott yeah I know I am overwelmed atm | 05:20 |
| Rakko | L3mce: I mean all the config sections for video card, monitor, mouse, keyboard, etc. | 05:20 |
| L3mce | Rakko: once using an xorg.conf, you will want as complete and accurate an xorg.conf as possible. | 05:20 |
| Rakko | meh. ok | 05:20 |
| escott | Rakko, i would assume you would, otherwise how would it know what display to apply that to | 05:20 |
| L3mce | Rakko: what is your gpu? lspci -nn | grep VGA | 05:20 |
| escott | Rakko, a simpler way is to make an xrandr command and put that in the xinit scripts | 05:20 |
| Rakko | oh, escott, cool | 05:21 |
| escott | Rakko, never really understood how this works but perhaps somewhere in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ | 05:21 |
| L3mce | escott: is undoubtedly correct... I just work with xorg.confs because I am stubborn. | 05:21 |
| Rakko | escott: would I just pipe in the modeline I create with cvt (to xrandr)? | 05:21 |
| Shirakawasuna | escott: I decided I do actually want to try lvm rather than juggle which data folders I want on which drive. Do you know whether I can put everything in lvm, or does /boot need to be a normal partition? | 05:21 |
| Shirakawasuna | my plan is to just set up LVM over two drives, rsync all my files over to it, and see if it boots | 05:22 |
| Shirakawasuna | well, and edit fstab | 05:22 |
| escott | Rakko, xrandr has a different syntax. you may not need all of the modeline, usually thinks like horizontal/vertical timing is not needed | 05:22 |
| L3mce | Rakko: you would create it with cvt but you will need to use a modeline calculator to change the output size. | 05:22 |
| ftruzzi | hey, how can I get my numeric keyboard to work? (num lock keys) | 05:22 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, it helps to have a /boot | 05:22 |
| Rakko | L3mce: I have Intel GM965 Express | 05:22 |
| Guest72488 | numlockx | 05:23 |
| Shirakawasuna | escott: Got it. So I'm safe to make a /boot partition and lvm partition on one drive, then just an lvm partition on another, and make one logical volume over the two to make / | 05:23 |
| L3mce | Rakko: ok... well you will want to initially create the xorg.conf by exiting X, and typing Xorg -configure... this will dump a basic xorg.conf into ~/xorg.conf.new you would modify it from there. | 05:23 |
| Rakko | oh, I forgot about that | 05:24 |
| L3mce | Rakko: however I would expore the xinit scripts | 05:24 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, that should work fine. my only concern is when the volume spans two disks its hard to say where the superblocks are landing | 05:24 |
| L3mce | just dumping an xrandr line there | 05:24 |
| msccreater | i can't install skype, can someone give me a help? | 05:25 |
| Shirakawasuna | escott: that's in terms of the filesystem, yes? | 05:25 |
| Shirakawasuna | escott: How do I go about setting up what you said earlier, if that fixes it? (specifying superblocks to not span the physical drives) | 05:25 |
| Rakko | is there a built-in app to get the x coord of the pointer? | 05:25 |
| L3mce | Rakko: ok to pm? I will give you the cvt and xrandr commands, you will have to play with the modeline calculations yourself. | 05:26 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, yes. if / spans two disks, and all the superblocks are on the first disk which then fails you may not be able to recover anything at all. but if a backup superblock is on the second disk that would improve recovery of files on that disk | 05:26 |
| Rakko | sure. thanks | 05:26 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, thats dark magic tune2fs or mkfs that I dont know | 05:26 |
| Shirakawasuna | escott: It might not be a huge risk, since I do regular backups | 05:26 |
| Shirakawasuna | escott: I have 4 drives - 2 would have this LVM setup, the other 2 (identical to the first 2) would be just for backup | 05:27 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, if they are backup why not run mdadm in raid1 | 05:27 |
| Shirakawasuna | escott: I like them to be offset by a week or so, so that it's a real backup - if I screw something up, the week old version is likely to have a non-screwed-up version | 05:28 |
| Shirakawasuna | e.g. I delete a movie on accident, it's on the other drive(s) | 05:28 |
| heoyea | Rakko: xdotool getmouselocation | 05:29 |
| Rakko | thanks heoyea | 05:29 |
| fantie | tvtime is not receiving a signal from my capture card. Not sure if my capture card is installed properly. Need help. | 05:29 |
| Shirakawasuna | escott: Is that reasonable? I'm open to better options of course. | 05:29 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, seems a bit silly. rsync with --link-dest can keep backups at minimal additional disk usage | 05:29 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, blog.interlinked.org/tutorials/rsync_time_machine.html | 05:30 |
| Shirakawasuna | escott: This is a media pc, it holds mostly movies. Wouldn't an option like that explode pretty quickly as I add / remove large files? | 05:31 |
| msccreater | who use skype? i have a problem when i install skype, the error says depend on skype-bin but i can't install it neither! | 05:32 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, no because its all hardlinks | 05:32 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, you need to understand how hardlinks work. look at that blog posting. halfway down he has diagrams | 05:32 |
| === OIiverTwist is now known as brittnee | ||
| amu | Hi everybody! | 05:33 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, your total disk usage will be size of the union of your current copy and all backups, not the sum | 05:33 |
| amu | I installed xfswitch-plugin and it also installed some gnome packages. It messed up my xfce. Now I'm getting "Failed to load session gnome". How can I fix this? thanks! | 05:33 |
| amu | I'm thinking to remove all gnome-related packages. But I don't know how. "sudo apt-get remove gnome*"? | 05:34 |
| Shirakawasuna | escott: Right, so doesn't that mean that if I delete a 1.5Gb file and then do said backup, the backup is now at least 1.5Gb? | 05:34 |
| L3mce | no amu... that shouldnt be necessary... what is the output of cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager | 05:34 |
| Shirakawasuna | escott: I think I might see what you're thinking of - I could run that script weekly, so I have a delayed copy of anything that gets changed, and delete the two-week-old backup | 05:35 |
| amu | L3mce, xdm | 05:35 |
| Shirakawasuna | I'd end up with the same situation I have now but with the advantage of RAID | 05:35 |
| === Noskcaj_ is now known as Noskcaj | ||
| escott | Shirakawasuna, you can do it a couple ways. The first backup has the current file as its link-dest and takes 0 disk space | 05:35 |
| Shirakawasuna | yes | 05:36 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, then you have to decide how many backups you want to keep, and what you are doing more often (adding files or deleting them) | 05:36 |
| L3mce | hmmm... amu not sure... it should not be trying to load gnomeish things I would not expect... | 05:36 |
| amu | I have to confess, it is linux mint xfce ... | 05:36 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, suppose you keep only one backup. then all you do for backup purposes is delete the old one and create a new one | 05:36 |
| LeeRock | I have some how lost my top menu bar in 10.04 | 05:36 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, it basically just delays your deletes until the next backup | 05:36 |
| newroad | anyone know why even though i have nvidia-current installed, I get this if I open nvidia server settings: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. | 05:36 |
| bobweaver | you know what i did every thing they asked | 05:36 |
| Shirakawasuna | escott: indeed, that's a much better idea than what I'm doing now! | 05:37 |
| amu | L3mce, it was mdm first, then I installed lightdm, xdm | 05:37 |
| Shirakawasuna | I imagine there's a gui-based option for this as well, which may make it easier to manage deleting older backups | 05:37 |
| Shirakawasuna | is the primary advantage of RAID the redundancy for drive failure? Do I get any other perks? | 05:38 |
| newroad | if i run nvidia-xconfig like it asks, it claims that isn't a valid command! | 05:38 |
| L3mce | I am unfortunately unsure how to start troubleshooting if xdm is your default dm... | 05:38 |
| L3mce | amu: ^ | 05:38 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, if you have multiple backups then you need to list each and every backup as a --link-dest that will presumably make the backup process slower | 05:38 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, deleting old backups is easy | 05:39 |
| amu | L3mce, thanks anyway | 05:39 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, rm -rf /path/to/backup/20121005 | 05:39 |
| bobweaver | what what what | 05:39 |
| Shirakawasuna | escott: indeed, but I'd rather not write the script that figures out the 'oldest' of e.g. three backups, and deletes it :) | 05:39 |
| amu | L3mce, you were the only guy who wanted to help so far ;) | 05:39 |
| Shirakawasuna | I'm sure I could do it, but I assume there's an rsync time machine gui equivalent | 05:39 |
| Shirakawasuna | that article links to one, cool | 05:40 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, its all really easy. you have a snapshot folder with timestamped folders YYYYMMDD. you can ls | tail -n-K | xargs rm -rf and that blows away all but the last K copies | 05:41 |
| fantie | can someone help me install my hauppauge wintv-hvr-2250 tv turner card? i can't figure it out | 05:42 |
| escott | fantie, you might check the video4linux website v4l | 05:42 |
| newroad | anyone know why even though i have nvidia-current installed, I get this if I open nvidia server settings: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. | 05:42 |
| newroad | if i run nvidia-xconfig like it asks, it claims that isn't a valid command! | 05:43 |
| Shirakawasuna | escott: Well, it'd take a few things. 1) script figures out current day, puts it in YYYYMMDD format, makes the backup dir. 2) run the rsync command w/ that dir name (easy once it's a variable), 3) the solution you just provided. | 05:43 |
| Shirakawasuna | escott: I know it's fairly easy... | 05:44 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, in any case. go with mdadm+lvm and use rsync with link-dest. the only part im not familiar with is having multiple link-dests in a single rsync command | 05:44 |
| otend | okay, this is just weird | 05:44 |
| otend | after reconfiguring MPD for ALSA instead of Pulse again, and rebooting, I've managed to lose my theming, but have everything work properly otherwise | 05:44 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, you also have to decide how you want to layer mdadm and lvm. i think you can put it either way lvm on top of mdadm or mdadm on top of lvm. | 05:45 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, lvm on top of mdadm is easier to administer as you will only have 2 mdadm devices (one for each pair of disks) | 05:45 |
| Shirakawasuna | escott: I think the rsync command will be pretty easy since I'm syncing all of /. It'd just be something like rsync -avz --numeric-ids --link-dest=/backup/20121201 . | 05:45 |
| sam__ | I am trying to install MATE and it says that some packages can not be athenticated | 05:45 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, the other way gives you more flexibility. you can raid1+0 one logical volume and raid0 another | 05:46 |
| Shirakawasuna | if I underestand it right at least | 05:46 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, i wouldn't do it for all of /. what exactly will you do with all those files | 05:46 |
| Shirakawasuna | escott: well it'd be all of / minus a few useless dirs like /tmp and /sys (and /backup of course) | 05:46 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, i would focus on just the media files. if you want to do that for all of / look at something like btrfs which has snapshotting | 05:46 |
| sam__ | hello I am trying to install MATE and it says that some packages can not be athenticated | 05:47 |
| Shirakawasuna | btrfs is still unstable, isn't it? | 05:47 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, the problem with rsync backup of / is what is the usecase? the system doesn't boot. the rsync backup wont help there. a program is broken, well you can't just grab libraries out of /var/lib that will break dpkg | 05:47 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, btrfs is still slow | 05:48 |
| hash | Yay my names back to normal | 05:48 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, stability is in the eye of the beholder | 05:48 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, i say forget backing up / (unless it is a btrfs style snapshot) and use things like etc-keeper to backup crucial stuff in / | 05:49 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, no point in backup up a bunch of system libraries that only cost you a few minutes to redownload | 05:49 |
| escott | !mate | sam | 05:50 |
| hash | ok so i have a 120GB IDE drive, and no IDE slots, I was thinking of getting a pci-e to ide adapter, would I be able to install ubuntu on that ide drive and boot from it? | 05:50 |
| escott | hash, the adapter will cost you more than a new drive | 05:51 |
| hash | really I saw some online for like 15 dollars | 05:52 |
| Shirakawasuna | escott: Well, I will at least one to backup e.g. /home. | 05:53 |
| escott | hash, and a 1TB drive is <$100 which is <$10 for 120GB | 05:53 |
| Shirakawasuna | which includes the media files | 05:53 |
| escott | roughly speaking | 05:53 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, yes, backup home (skipping things like the mozilla directory cause it changes all the time) | 05:53 |
| hash | Yeah i can see that But i dont think i have any free sata ports | 05:53 |
| Shirakawasuna | escott: indeed. | 05:54 |
| escott | hash, you can certainly do it. it should boot. but at $15 its a toilet quality card and its costing you more per GB than getting a disk upgrade | 05:54 |
| Shirakawasuna | escott: I'm a little confused about how I would use --link-dest to do this, in this case. What I want, effectively, is a way to store only the files that have changed in a given interval, as a backup. I won't have room for a full backup of /home... | 05:55 |
| hash | I see ur point escott, | 05:56 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, link-dest just tells rsync to check in that folder for a similarly named file to see if a hardlink can be made to that file instead. evidently you can have multiple link-dest's and rsync will handle that. so you have a link-dest for the actual $HOME and a link-dest for each snapshot | 05:56 |
| Shirakawasuna | hmm | 05:56 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, any file that appears in the snapshot should appear in one of those | 05:56 |
| hash | u cant chain sata drives can u? | 05:56 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, in fact you dont need the second one. every file you snapshot is in the current folder | 05:56 |
| escott | stupid me | 05:56 |
| Shirakawasuna | escott: doesn't that imply that my backup dir will always be at least the same size as the source dir? | 05:57 |
| escott | hash, no its not that much like SCSI | 05:57 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, no each backup is free. it just defers the delete | 05:57 |
| amanSharma | I am unable to transfer files by pidgin on irc ? After accepting transfer it makes no progress on both sides. | 05:57 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, the kernel only deletes files when there are no hardlinks to it | 05:57 |
| hash | i didnt think so | 05:57 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, so each snapshot increments the hardlink counter, and defers the actual deletion until it is removed from all snapshots it appears in | 05:58 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, backups are free (more or less), deletes don't save you space until you delete the snapshots | 05:58 |
| Rakko | is this about a specific rsync application, escott ? | 05:59 |
| escott | Rakko, no | 06:00 |
| Shirakawasuna | escott: So let's say I've run it once. That means there's a dir in /backup/20121201 that just contains a ton of hard links (mirroring the directory structure of e.g. /home) taking up no extra space. If I delete /home/Movie1.mkv, it disappears from /home but is still on the disk, because /backup/20121201 has a hard link to it. Then I make a new backup and delete the old one - now the kernel deletes the actual file and space is | 06:00 |
| Shirakawasuna | freed up. | 06:00 |
| Shirakawasuna | escott: is that correct? | 06:00 |
| === Steph_De_Chine is now known as worm | ||
| escott | Shirakawasuna, yes | 06:00 |
| Shirakawasuna | cool | 06:01 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, the backups arent completely free. you cannot hardlink directories (except as root and its a bad idea) so there is some administrative overhead for each folder | 06:01 |
| Shirakawasuna | I assume that just means some extra backup time + a little bit of space | 06:02 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, but unless you have oodles of directories with few files in them its small compared to what is being backed up | 06:02 |
| Shirakawasuna | most likely I shouldn't have anything like that, but I assume it would just slow things down and use a modest amount of space | 06:03 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, a snapshotting fs like btrfs takes this same logic and embeds it into the filesystem, so then backups are instantaneous and completely free | 06:03 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, its 4kb for each directory | 06:03 |
| zykotick9 | escott: i've never tried btrfs, but i gotta say zfs on opensolaris was kinda cool - reminded me of windows "system restore" actually. | 06:04 |
| Shirakawasuna | that's acceptable | 06:04 |
| Shirakawasuna | a million dirs = 4 Gb | 06:04 |
| escott | zykotick9, i use btrfs on my laptop. fsync just kills the system, but otherwise its acceptable. the main frustration is applications like firefox who think they are gods messiah and fsync every ***** second | 06:05 |
| escott | zykotick9, really makes me want to punch a firefox dev in the face for not at least making that something that can easily be disabled | 06:06 |
| Shirakawasuna | I'm kind of confused about what to do the first time it's run, escott. --link-dest is supposed to point to a previous backup, but one won't exist. | 06:06 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, in your case --link-dest should ALWAYS point to the current copy | 06:07 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, you will NEVER have a file in your snapshot that does not come from the current copy | 06:07 |
| Shirakawasuna | so --link-dest=/home | 06:07 |
| Shirakawasuna | ? | 06:07 |
| zykotick9 | escott: be nice. firefox devs deserve our respect ;) | 06:07 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, yes | 06:07 |
| escott | zykotick9, id buy the guy a beer afterwards. just want to knock a tooth out first | 06:07 |
| Shirakawasuna | hmm | 06:07 |
| zykotick9 | escott: ;) | 06:07 |
| Shirakawasuna | I can see how trying to do this with more than one dir would be troublesome | 06:08 |
| Shirakawasuna | I'll have to consolidate things into /home | 06:08 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, you can use a --exclude-from=FILENAME to exclude directories that you dont want to backup. lots of the .* files are good candidates for that | 06:08 |
| Shirakawasuna | escott: sure, but I like to backup a few things... /home , /usr/local, /laptopbackup. | 06:10 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, you could have one for each. | 06:10 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, im out for the night. only remaining decision for you is LVM on top of MDADM or MDADM on top of LVM | 06:10 |
| Shirakawasuna | that would make three separate backups to run the script on | 06:10 |
| Shirakawasuna | any recommendations on which is better, escott? | 06:11 |
| Shirakawasuna | I've never used RAID | 06:11 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, LVM on top of MDADM is easier to administer. you are treating each pair of disks as a single disk so you only have Disks/2 raid arrays. | 06:12 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, MDADM on top of LVM lets you mix-and-match the RAID level to the LVM logical. | 06:12 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, so if you create 4 LVM logicals and pin them to the 4 different disks then you can run RAID1+0 across those 4 disks | 06:12 |
| Shirakawasuna | hm | 06:13 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, but the complexity is now you must have 4 LVM setups (so you can make sure the logicals hit the different disks) and a RAID for each partition you want to expose to the OS | 06:13 |
| Shirakawasuna | isn't the rule 1 filesystem per logical? | 06:13 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, i've never done it that way | 06:13 |
| Shirakawasuna | I'm setting up LVM so that I can avoid keeping track of which files are on which filesystem | 06:14 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, i think LVM on top of MDADM is probably more your speed. | 06:14 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, you make sda/sdb into md0 with fixed RAID1 | 06:15 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, then you make sdc/sdd into md1 with fixed RAID1 | 06:15 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, then LVM spans across md0,md1 | 06:15 |
| Shirakawasuna | ah, I see | 06:15 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, the other way around you get md devices using LVM logicals and you need to make sure those logicals are in the correct place | 06:15 |
| Shirakawasuna | hmm | 06:16 |
| Shirakawasuna | another consideration is that I don't have any way to keep my data separate | 06:16 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, keep it separate? | 06:17 |
| Shirakawasuna | sorry | 06:17 |
| Shirakawasuna | I mean I can't move my files off the disks temporarily | 06:17 |
| Shirakawasuna | if I set up RAID first, then LVM, how would I preserve the integrity of my files? | 06:17 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, you should invest in some external storage anyways. drive failures are closely correlated to environmental factors (heat/vibration) when one disk in the case goes bad the others are probably getting close | 06:18 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, the RAID is your backup | 06:18 |
| Shirakawasuna | indeed I should invest in external storage | 06:18 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, RAID1 ensures you always have *a* copy unless you get simultaneous failures | 06:19 |
| === bobweaver is now known as wilson_kin_ | ||
| Shirakawasuna | Yes, I understand. | 06:19 |
| Shirakawasuna | but I think I still need an external HD to solve the current issue | 06:19 |

| === col-forbin is now known as kernel-phorbin | ||
| escott | Shirakawasuna, you just create degraded | 06:21 |
| fantie | escott, I checked out video4linux website and tried it. I get a bunch of errors like this: Permission denied | 06:21 |
| fantie | cp: cannot create regular file | 06:21 |
| Shirakawasuna | escott: I'm imagining this: I RAID1 my 2 new drives (they're identical and the same size as the old drives). Then I sync files over from my current drives. Then I RAID1 my current drives. | 06:21 |
| escott | fantie, without knowing what you did i cant help. and im going to bed anyways | 06:22 |
| Shirakawasuna | escott: But then I set up LVM and format, and all my files disappear | 06:22 |
| fantie | have a good night | 06:22 |
| Shirakawasuna | escott: also, thanks for the help and have a good night as well! | 06:22 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, sure. but im saying you can take a disk that has data on it, and is mbr partitioned, and make it mdadm without touching the data | 06:22 |
| kernel-phorbin | how to get better sound ? | 06:22 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, then add the disk to the array | 06:23 |
| kernel-phorbin | http://gamehendge.org/files/The_Man_Who_Stepped_Into_Yesterday.mp3 | 06:23 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, you assemble degraded | 06:23 |
| kernel-phorbin | how to get sound on that ^^^ | 06:23 |
| kernel-phorbin | is there a eq for browser ? | 06:24 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, there are some risks there. i think mdadm uses the pbr to store array guids. and if lvm also stored information in that... things would break | 06:24 |
| Shirakawasuna | escott: I see. So perhaps I could set up RAID1 on both drives (data intact and a copy on each RAID1 'group'), then set up LVM on just the first pair, transfer my files over. Then extend the volume group | 06:24 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, i doubt it does, but you should confirm you can do this safely. i've done it multiple times with ext filesystem | 06:24 |
| Shirakawasuna | I'd use ext4 | 06:24 |

| kernel-phorbin | in the pannel | 06:25 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, im saying /dev/sda2 becomes part of /dev/md0 and so mdadm puts stuff in the pbr of sda2. the filesystem on sda2 is LVM so LVM better not have anything in that pbr because MDADM needs to put its stuff there | 06:25 |
| kernel-phorbin | panel * | 06:25 |
| kernel-phorbin | not sure why not all other great distros have it just like this distro | 06:26 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, i've never heard of someone converting a raw partition to an LVM partition if that is what you were suggesting | 06:26 |
| Shirakawasuna | escott: yes, so you're saying I should be slightly worried about lvm on top of mdadm and should double check that this is something that works. I likely can't investigate the lower-level technical details efficiently, but I can see if others have had success | 06:26 |
| kernel-phorbin | str distro = "any IIS " | 06:26 |
| kernel-phorbin | OS | 06:26 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, On many occasions I have converted a raw ext to ext on mdadm RAID1 its easy-peasy | 06:27 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, you need to check if you can convert raw LVM to LVM on mdadm RAID1 in the same way | 06:27 |
| kernel-phorbin | semms like only OS with out EQ is *nix based distros ? how to fix? | 06:27 |
| kernel-phorbin | seems * | 06:27 |
| escott | Shirakawasuna, anyways leave you with this link. goodnight and goodluck https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Convert_a_single_drive_system_to_RAID | 06:28 |

| ubottu | vtec_: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin.

| Shirakawasuna | ibaykoc: with that cpu I definitely recommend using xfce instead, but if you *really* want unity and it's worked before, we can look at other options. | 07:27 |

| mark_bonneaux | does anyone here know much about os4? | 07:30 |
| Shirakawasuna | ibaykoc: so you should definitely use a lighter-weight desktop environment | 07:30 |
| kostkon | Shirakawasuna, it's powerful enough for unity. the problem is with the graphics card and its driver | 07:31 |
| ibaykoc | Shirakawasuna: Xfce? ok i'll try it | 07:31 |
| Shirakawasuna | kostkon: It's very unlikely to be powerful enough to work efficiently with unity. The thing is almost off the scale of badness | 07:31 |
| vtec_ | it's telling me i may want to run apt-get -f install | 07:31 |
| Shirakawasuna | ibaykoc: xfce or lxde | 07:31 |

| Shirakawasuna | ibaykoc: I prefer xfce myself | 07:31 |
| ibaykoc | Shirakawasuna: ok thanks | 07:31 |

| Shirakawasuna | I assume you still want an ubuntu-ie experience | 07:36 |
| worm | ibaykoc: I think that install xfce is enough... | 07:36 |
| heoyea | or install xfce4 | 07:37 |
| ibaykoc | im on it | 07:37 |
| Shirakawasuna | meh | 07:37 |
| Shirakawasuna | it's just a small bit of hard drive space | 07:37 |
| Shirakawasuna | you can run pure xfce as well, with xubuntu-desktop installed | 07:37 |
| heoyea | double the apps like editors file manager ...etc | 07:37 |
| Shirakawasuna | and you can revert very very easily using the list of xubuntu-desktop apps | 07:37 |
| heoyea | since he already got ubuntu | 07:38 |
| ibaykoc | whats the different betwen unity and xfce? | 07:38 |
| Shirakawasuna | xubuntu's apps are different from ubuntu's and xfce's, heoa_ | 07:38 |
| Shirakawasuna | *heoy | 07:38 |
| Shirakawasuna | lol, I give up :) | 07:38 |
| ibaykoc | lol | 07:38 |
| kostkon | !tab | Shirakawasuna | 07:38 |
| ubottu | Shirakawasuna: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 07:38 |
| worm | But some conflict on choosing to use which for something... I really hate that. Thunar or Nautilus? | 07:38 |
| Shirakawasuna | yeah I used tab, kostkon | 07:38 |
| Shirakawasuna | jesus | 07:38 |
| kostkon | :/ | 07:38 |
| Shirakawasuna | you guys need to rely less on bots | 07:38 |
| worm | However to type long lines is a kind of time consuming. | 07:39 |
| worm | Bots are time saving. | 07:39 |
| ibaykoc | so, whats the different? | 07:39 |
| Shirakawasuna | meh. I see no downside to installing xubuntu-desktop, trying xubuntu and xfce and seeing what works best for you. It's just limiting your options to try pure xfce only, which is by default a bit less user friendly and refined | 07:39 |
| Shirakawasuna | $.02 over | 07:40 |
| kostkon | ibaykoc, now logout, and in the login screen press the ubuntu logo that's on the right side of the login box and select xfce/xubuntu from thelist of options | 07:40 |
| ibaykoc | kostkon, now? but im in installing xubuntu right now | 07:41 |
| kostkon | ibaykoc, oh still installing ok :P | 07:41 |
| worm | ibaykoc: If you are still fetching files, you can press Ctrl+C to terminate that. | 07:41 |
| ibaykoc | ok thanks, but i wont :D | 07:42 |
| maplesoft | how do i get all the processes related to (for example) mysql ? | 07:44 |
| heoyea | maplesoft: htop tree view | 07:45 |
| maplesoft | heoyea: how exactly for mysql? | 07:45 |
| maplesoft | heoyea: isnt it something like ps aux | grep? | 07:45 |
| almoxarife | maplesoft: only if you want to make it difficult | 07:46 |
| maplesoft | almoxarife: ok. whats the exact command for finding mysql processes | 07:46 |
| r2b2_nz | hi everyone - just wondering if anyone is able to help with my wifi issues (that is, the onboard wifi doesn't seem to be picked up properly) | 07:47 |
| almoxarife | maplesoft: you could even use a nice gui like gnome-system-monitor with the tree option, that would be a gui though, not sexy | 07:47 |
| ibaykoc | do i need to restart after finish downloading xubuntu? | 07:47 |
| maplesoft | almoxarife: i just need the proces number. so i can kill it | 07:47 |
| jamamp | maplesoft, try 'ps aux | grep mysql' maybe? | 07:47 |
| TakeItEZ | maplesoft: pgrep mysql | 07:47 |
| almoxarife | maplesoft: you could even use a nice gui like gnome-system-monitor with the tree option, that would be a gui though, not sexy <-- yep, gives you process number too' | 07:48 |
| yhusha | when typing in terminal /home typing /h followed by tab finish out /home but this /home/y followed by tab will not provide /home/yhusha | 07:48 |
| TakeItEZ | maplesoft: pgrep mysql or if you want just to kill those: pkill mysql | 07:48 |
| Flannel | yhusha: Do you have more than one user that starts with 'y'? If so, pushing tab TWICE in that situation (/home/y[tab][tab]) will provide a list of things you might be wanting. | 07:52 |
| Flannel | yhusha: but, if this is specifically about that folder, and not just a general tab-complete question, you can use "~" to reference your home folder. | 07:53 |
| heoyea | maplesoft: u can use pkill mysql | 07:54 |

| TakeItEZ | heoyea: i know where the warning comes from, it is still not advised just to "press y" | 08:01 |
| heoyea | TakeItEZ: not advised and reality are 2 different things | 08:01 |

| Rask | Hi all. Figured I'd try asking this here because it might be more about ubuntu than dovecot. Dovecot is complaining of a permissions problem, the message in syslog is claiming that it does not have permissions to change to a directory to which it definitely does have permissions; I've verified this by suing to the user in question and changing to the directory. Is there something somewhere | 08:18 |
| Rask | I need to flush when I've added users to groups? | 08:18 |
| ibaykoc | Shirakawasuna, i have installed xubuntu | 08:18 |
| dr_willis | Rask: when you change the groups i belive that user has to log out then back in.. no idea how dovecot works. ;-) | 08:22 |
| dr_willis | so suing would see thechange. but not any older logins | 08:22 |
| Rask | dr_willis: Well, I restarted the service. (service dovecot restart) That should make it pick up things anew, shouldn't it? | 08:22 |
| dr_willis | i would think so. but ive no idea what dovecot does. | 08:23 |
| Rask | dr_willis: No, nor do I... though its syslog message is very explicit: Error: chdir(/mnt/private/store/mail/rask/dovecot/) failed: Permission denied (euid=1001(sikapost) egid=1002(sikapost) missing +x perm: /mnt/private, we're not in group 1001(mntprivate), dir owned by 0:1001 mode=0770) | 08:25 |
| TakeItEZ | Rask: ls -ld /mnt/private/store/mail/rask/dovecot/ | 08:26 |
| Rask | TakeItEZ: drwxrwxr-x 2 sikapost sikapost 4096 Dec 2 00:12 /mnt/private/store/mail/rask/dovecot/ | 08:26 |

| lwicks1 | Hi All, I have an odd networking problem. Lenovo B970 laptop, fresh install of 12.10. Networking seems to stop working after a minute or two of inactivity. Websites cease loading, ping fails. Networking in system settings looks ok. Turning network off and on again seems to resolve temporarily. This is for a wired connection with static IP. Any ideas, google has not helped as yet. | 08:27 |
| TakeItEZ | Rask: ls -ld /mnt/private | 08:27 |
| Rask | TakeItEZ: drwxrwx--- 3 root mntprivate 4096 Nov 24 21:34 /mnt/private/ | 08:27 |
| TakeItEZ | Rask: and you added user sikapost to group mntprivate now? | 08:28 |
| Rask | I did. From /etc/group: mntprivate:x:1001:rask330,sikapost | 08:28 |
| TakeItEZ | Rask: still the same error? | 08:29 |
| Rask | Yeah. | 08:29 |
| yhusha | in a live enviroment chroot... on ubuntu12.04 it will not let apt-get remove --purge get rid of libreoffice | 08:29 |
| TakeItEZ | Rask: and "sikapost" logged in again after being added? | 08:30 |
| Rask | Logged in interactively? No. The user has no shell or home directory. | 08:31 |
| Rask | It exists only to be the user with access to maildirs for dovecot. | 08:31 |
| Rask | Is there some sort of flush that happens when a user logs in interactively? | 08:31 |
| === picca is now known as xpicca | ||
| TakeItEZ | Rask: a user with login has to relogin to let changes in groups take effect, shouldn't matter in your case | 08:33 |
| Rask | Hm. | 08:33 |
| d3pT1 | 这么多人- - | 08:34 |
| Rask | TakeItEZ: Is it possible the stale environment is coming from somewhere else? Like, does the user who restarts the service matter? | 08:34 |

| nanomad | why? | 08:47 |
| nanomad | the livecd runs just fine | 08:47 |

| theadmin | matanc: There's a "Encrypt home directory" option on the user setup screen | 10:51 |
| matanc | After booting up Ubuntu it doesn't take me to the normal Ubuntu GUI (gnome or w/e it's called) and brings me to a prompt like window. | 10:51 |
| cheesecakes | i thought unity was the default gui in ubuntu 12.04? | 10:52 |
| matanc | Sorry I meant unity | 10:52 |
| matanc | My bad :p | 10:52 |
| Mongolski | how old is your laptop ? | 10:52 |
| theadmin | cheesecakes: Well, Unity is built on top of GNOME and is a mere replacement for gnome-shell | 10:53 |
| cheesecakes | are you theadmin from blinkensheel? | 10:53 |
| cheesecakes | *blinkenshell | 10:54 |
| theadmin | cheesecakes: I am indeed | 10:54 |
| cheesecakes | ok cool | 10:54 |
| ktwohig9 | Matanc have you tried typing startx at the prompt? | 10:54 |
| cheesecakes | one of the icons is low def and looks real bad , the second one is proper | 10:54 |
| matanc | No I haven't. I've just started using Linux so I barely know what any of these things mean | 10:55 |
| bekks | matanc: Did you use "Ubuntu server" for your installation? | 10:55 |
| matanc | No. I installed the 12.10 from the site and put the image on the DOK like instructed there | 10:55 |
| ktwohig9 | ok, when you boot up the laptop and you get to the prompt thing, just type the word startx and then hit enter for me | 10:55 |
| gustav___ | I have windows and ubuntu on my computer. If I upgrade ubuntu to 12.10, will windows disappear? | 10:56 |
| matanc | I'll try reinstalling it now with your guys help so I can better tell you what exactly is wrong. | 10:56 |
| ktwohig9 | matanc, no do not reinstall. boot it up and type startx at the prompt then hit enter please | 10:56 |
| bekks | matanc: Thats not necessary. You could just tell us what you mean by "put the image on the DOK like instructed there". | 10:56 |
| Mongolski | gustav___ nope | 10:57 |
| gustav___ | ok, thanks! | 10:57 |
| bekks | gustav___: Which Ubuntu version do you have? | 10:57 |
| gustav___ | ubuntu 12.4 | 10:57 |
| bekks | gustav___: There is no 12.4 - do you mean 12.04 ? | 10:58 |
| gustav___ | yes | 10:58 |
| bekks | gustav___: I'd stick with 12.04 then, since it is a LTS version. | 10:58 |
| matanc | bekks: I mean that I install it from a USB drive | 11:00 |
| matanc | Rather than a CD | 11:00 |
| gustav___ | but i must test the new version! | 11:00 |
| bekks | matanc: Who forces you to do so, with a loaded gun pointing at you? | 11:01 |
| matanc | ktwohig9: I can't, the laptop has been reformatted since a few times in the last couple of days. I'll try telling you what error I get now after reinstalling again | 11:01 |
| matanc | bekks, how else would I install? I don't want to use the windows installer | 11:02 |
| ktwohig9 | ok | 11:02 |
| bekks | matanc: You can use a CD. | 11:02 |
| bekks | matanc: So when booting your installation, do you see the login screen? | 11:03 |
| matanc | Ya, the installation works fine. I can't use a CD because the laptop doesn't have a disc drive | 11:03 |
| bekks | matanc: So when booting your installation, do you see the login screen? | 11:03 |
| matanc | What do you mean by login screen | 11:03 |

| OpenSorce | b_head, yes it does. Gimme a sec I'll get you the link | 11:30 |
| MonkeyDust | netflix needs some MS thingy, that isnt supported in linux | 11:31 |
| OpenSorce | Shirakawasuna, it uses Firefox under Wine and works great | 11:31 |
| Shirakawasuna | right that's not native | 11:32 |
| OpenSorce | Shirakawasuna, as if that matters? It's an app, let's get it working for him, k? | 11:32 |
| k1l_ | well, i just posted a blogpost from omgubuntu which shows it is running on ubuntu. | 11:32 |
| OpenSorce | b_head, have you done everything here: http://www.iheartubuntu.com/2012/11/ppa-for-netflix-desktop-app.html | 11:33 |
| Shirakawasuna | it does matter, because it means the results will vary widely, and it's unsupported | 11:33 |
| Shirakawasuna | b_head should google and find a guide for getting it set up | 11:33 |
| hans | hallo i just try | 11:33 |

| ineedhelpwithrai | hi everyone. i set up a RAID with the intel configuration utility during POST and included a space in the name of the array which is messing up the installation of Ubuntu. how do i go about renaming the array? | 11:52 |
| rudivs | UnfoBOT, I'll give it a try, but I couldn't see a small ubuntu logo when I tried just now | 11:53 |
| rudivs | UnfoBOT, where on the screen is it? | 11:53 |
| bekks | ineedhelpwithrai: Should be described in the manual of your raid controller. | 11:53 |
| UnfoBOT | Let's see | 11:53 |
| UnfoBOT | On the login screen there must be a little button next to your username or password | 11:53 |
| UnfoBOT | You click and you see a dropdown menu with all the DEs installed, and you choice which you want | 11:54 |
| rudivs | UnfoBOT, ah, I see on http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/08/ubuntu-login-screen-updates-with-minor-visual-tweaks-in-12-10 | 11:54 |
| UnfoBOT | Even if there's only one DE installed you must see it | 11:54 |
| UnfoBOT | But on 12.10 there isn't Unity 2D afaik | 11:55 |
| UnfoBOT | Neither on the repos | 11:55 |
| rudivs | there was a unity-2d package, but it was very small, so maybe a meta package | 11:55 |
| bekks | rudivs: Which Ubuntu do you have? | 11:56 |
| rudivs | bekks, 12.10 | 11:56 |
| Shirakawasuna | unity-2d was removed from 12.10, rudivs | 11:57 |
| rudivs | I really like unity, but it's nearly unusable on my system... is it unstable for everyone or is it just how it interacts with my system? | 11:57 |
| UnfoBOT | It is a bit | 11:57 |
| OpenSorce | rudivs, yeah sadly | 11:57 |
| Shirakawasuna | it varies, rudivs | 11:57 |
| UnfoBOT | I have a poor graphics card, 2core 2ghz processor and 3GB RAM | 11:58 |
| UnfoBOT | And 12.04 runs well with nvidia driver | 11:58 |

| OpenSorce | I run a plasma desktop with cairo-dock. 12.04 and the proprietary nvidia drivers from nvidia's website. Works way better and faster than Unity. | 11:59 |
| rudivs | I'm a few updates behind, so maybe that's where I should start, but I'll need to have a safe backup option... maybe install metacity thne | 11:59 |
| bekks | OpenSorce: Thats comparing apples and bananas, in fact, on a unsupportable system :) | 12:00 |
| Catbuntu | Kubuntu 12.10 is awesome | 12:00 |

| Shirakawasuna | rudivs: since unity-2d is out, you're basically stuck trying other DEs if you want a backup. XFCE, LXDE, GNOME, or KDE are the most common | 12:01 |

| Catbuntu | and linux-headers-generic? | 12:02 |

| Bustacap | What drivers should I use to get my 2nd monitor to work right with nvidia? I tried nvidia-current and nvidia-current-updates and they both won't let me change the resolution. | 12:24 |
| Pinkiwinky | I'm going crazy trying to make Bitdefender work for Ubuntu 12.04, once I install it, everything it's ok, but when I hit the download button, after a few seconds downloading updates, the AV dissapear, then, when I open again the program, I cannot update, because an update is already running | 12:24 |
| kaktuc[qw] | okey i am write ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10 from disk and i see black monitor | 12:24 |
| Shirakawasuna | heh | 12:24 |

| ubottu | Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 12:25 |
| Shirakawasuna | kaktuc[qw]: we already pointed you towards the likely answer... | 12:25 |
| kaktuc[qw] | may be you repeet | 12:26 |
| kaktuc[qw] | ? | 12:26 |
| TandyUK | [12:24:05] <ubottu> kaktuc[qw]: 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 | 12:26 |
| kaktuc[qw] | ohhh | 12:26 |
| Shirakawasuna | kaktuc[qw]: your disc may be corrupt. Another option is that your ISO is corrupt | 12:27 |
| Shirakawasuna | kaktuc[qw]: another possibility is a hardware incompatibility with its particular kernel, in which case you should try a different disc - maybe ubuntu | 12:27 |
| Catbuntu | Try burning on a usb | 12:27 |
| TandyUK | i have to point out htough guys, i had the same problem the other day | 12:27 |
| Catbuntu | !usb | kaktuc[qw] | 12:27 |

| voxcroix | 12.10 64bit stable??? or 32bit better?? | 12:28 |
| gordonjcp | voxcroix: you may as well use 64-bit if your system supports it | 12:28 |
| bekks | voxcroix: As long as you have 64bit hardware, use 64bit. | 12:28 |
| Catbuntu | 32 bit if you don't know if your CPU is compatible with 64 bit | 12:28 |
| TandyUK | im a pc engineer with 15 years experience, burn cds al lthe time, download the 12.04 x64 iso from your site, md5summed it, burn to disc, try to boot disc in one particular machine it just wont boot from the disc | 12:28 |
| Catbuntu | !bits | 12:28 |
| TandyUK | other machines are fine, and that machine booteda mythbuntu live cd no problem | 12:28 |
| voxcroix | thx | 12:28 |
| Catbuntu | lol | 12:28 |
| Catbuntu | !32 bit | 12:28 |
| voxcroix | thx a lot my system 64 bit | 12:29 |
| kaktuc[qw] | but i didn't only install linux mint and didn't install ubuntu, kubuntu | 12:29 |
| sk1pper | hi all, i am using 12.04 64bit, after doing some changes with ubuntu-tweak, the right click on the desktop is not working, any ideas? | 12:29 |
| bekks | kaktuc[qw]: so DID you install Ubuntu? | 12:29 |
| kaktuc[qw] | NO | 12:30 |
| Shirakawasuna | kaktuc[qw]: it might be a hardware incompatibility, then | 12:30 |
| Bustacap | Which is the best nvidia driver? | 12:30 |
| TandyUK | so why are you in #ubuntu then lol | 12:30 |
| kaktuc[qw] | know i am use "Spark" from linux | 12:30 |
| Shirakawasuna | kaktuc[qw]: or your files are all corrupted / discs are all bad | 12:30 |
| layke_ | I'm confused, I've got 4+ load. But if I run top, I see CPU is 0 on everything. But I do have Cpu(s): 0.2%us, 0.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 50.6%id, 49.1%wa | 12:30 |
| layke_ | What does this mean? | 12:30 |
| TandyUK | iowait, suggests your cpu is being used waiting for device IO | 12:31 |
| Catbuntu | !nvidia | Bustacap | 12:31 |
| ubottu | Bustacap: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 12:31 |
| Bustacap | I don't need a how to... | 12:31 |
| Bustacap | I'm asking which one is the best atm. | 12:31 |
| Catbuntu | Nvidia-cuerent-updates is usually the best haha | 12:31 |
| bekks | kaktuc[qw]: Then please join the support channel of the distribution you are using. | 12:31 |
| Catbuntu | There's also the x-swat PPA with the last drivers | 12:31 |
| bekks | layke_: That your system is 49.1% waiting for something. | 12:32 |
| Catbuntu | nvidia-current is the driver version when your version was released | 12:32 |
| layke_ | bekks, Is there anything that I can do to find out what process that might be? | 12:32 |
| Catbuntu | nvidia-current-updates also, but it updates sometimes | 12:32 |
| kaktuc[qw] | well and egg хотел себе установить ubuntu or kubuntu last version such is impossible | 12:32 |
| Bustacap | Catbuntu, the x-swat is the one with the package called "nvidia-graphics-drivers" right? | 12:32 |
| Catbuntu | and nvidia-current from x-swat is always the last ppa | 12:32 |
| iceroot | universe-repo is handled by ubuntu-sponsors? or who is responsable for packages from that repo? | 12:33 |
| TandyUK | layke_: iotop | 12:33 |
| kaktuc[qw] | well and egg would like install ubuntu or kubuntu last version such is impossible | 12:33 |
| bekks | kaktuc[qw]: Please finally stop it. | 12:33 |
| Catbuntu | You have to add the x-swat pps | 12:33 |
| Catbuntu | *ppa | 12:33 |
| Bustacap | I know, I have it. | 12:33 |
| Catbuntu | And it's called nvidia-current also | 12:33 |
| Bustacap | Oh hmm. | 12:33 |
| Catbuntu | Then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nvidia-current | 12:34 |
| TandyUK | kaktuc[qw]: its very possible and very easy, download and burn the iso, put it in your machiine, boot from it and follow the instructions. | 12:34 |
| Bustacap | Yup. | 12:34 |
| Bustacap | K. I'll try it now. | 12:34 |
| Catbuntu | and the nvidia config if you wanr | 12:34 |
| Bustacap | I can't get my tv to display right :/ | 12:34 |
| bhavesh | I am running Ubuntu 12.10, and I have GNOME 3.5.0.19-Generic, I want to upgrade it to 3.6 but my software updater says that my system is up to date | 12:34 |
| Catbuntu | I did it on 12.04 and I have the lastest driver | 12:34 |
| layke_ | TandyUK, Thanks. :) Found the proiblem. /usr/bin/mandb: can't write to /var/cache/man/470: No space left on device | 12:34 |
| TandyUK | Bustacap: what country and sort of tv? | 12:34 |
| Bustacap | Hopefully this xswat one works this time. | 12:34 |
| TandyUK | lol theres ya problem layke_ :P | 12:34 |
| Catbuntu | There's also a legacy driver for old cards | 12:34 |
| TandyUK | i wouldnt advise a reboot right now tbh | 12:34 |
| Catbuntu | 170 I think | 12:35 |
| Bustacap | Nah, I got a newer card. | 12:35 |
| Bustacap | GTS 450 | 12:35 |
| Catbuntu | great then | 12:35 |
| layke_ | TandyUK, rm -rf /var/logs/nginx Load dropped to 0 instantly :P | 12:35 |
| Bustacap | Just nvidia settings in ubuntu isn't giving me the same options as Mint just was before I installed ubuntu. | 12:35 |
| Catbuntu | Meh | 12:36 |
| layke_ | I need to properly add in log rotations and delete old stuff.. | 12:36 |
| Catbuntu | For me Quantal was better with nouveau | 12:36 |
| Bustacap | I keep forgetting the fix for my tv in ubuntu :P | 12:36 |
| Catbuntu | Also remember to install linux-headers-generic | 12:36 |
| Catbuntu | It's a "won't fix" bug | 12:36 |
| Bustacap | Already did that ;) | 12:36 |
| Shirakawasuna | could be either nvidia driver version differences or xorg.conf-level settings, Bustacap | 12:36 |
| varikonniemi | whats a wont fix bug :DD | 12:37 |
| Catbuntu | Kubuntu is also better with nouveau wtf | 12:37 |
| Shirakawasuna | you probably want nvidia-experimental, Bustacap (if it's a newer card and you're having troubles) | 12:37 |
| PInkiwinky | Hello, sorry, I had a problem with my ubuntu and I had to reboot, as I said, I'm going crazy trying to install bitdefender on Ubuntu 12.04, when I click on the install button, starts to update but then crashes and I cannot update anymore because "there is another update running" | 12:37 |
| Catbuntu | A bug that won't be fixed | 12:37 |
| Catbuntu | Also | 12:37 |
| === Harmageddon_ is now known as Harmageddon | ||
| Catbuntu | My geforce 9300M GS worked better with experimental on Quantal | 12:37 |
| Catbuntu | I downgraded to Precise because of driver crap | 12:38 |
| Bustacap | I'm gonna try a reboot now after the xswat current was installed. | 12:38 |

| b_head | thanks guys for the support for netflix desktop. its up and running now | 12:40 |
| b_head | Anyone know any good free vpn for ubuntu 12.10? | 12:41 |
| filip_ | hey everybody | 12:42 |
| bekks | b_head: "openvpn". | 12:42 |
| b_head | Becks: how many GB per day? | 12:42 |
| filip_ | a quick question regarding the full disk encryption in ubuntu 12 - can I use a passphrase during installation and then switch to storing the key in TPM? | 12:42 |
| LucidLuna | @b_head are you looking for the free software or a free service for anonymity? | 12:42 |
| bekks | b_head: No limit. It is some some software you set up on your server and on your clients. | 12:43 |
| b_head | @Lucidluna which one is better? free software or free service for anonymity? | 12:43 |
| bekks | b_head: There is no better in "software". | 12:44 |
| invariant | Since when did it become Twitter here? | 12:44 |
| filip_ | invariant: I guess "adapt or die" ;) | 12:44 |
| theadmin | invariant: Since people new to IRC started entering this channel. 2008 or earlier. | 12:44 |
| invariant | filip_, I think I will just add them to my ignore list. If they cannot be bothered to look how the rest of the world behaves, they cannot possibly tell me something of interest. | 12:45 |
| patr|ck | haha | 12:45 |
| filip_ | invariant: I don't think that the possibilities are that boolean'y | 12:46 |
| ejo | you cannot tell an invariant to adapt or die | 12:46 |
| filip_ | ejo: :D | 12:46 |
| theadmin | !ot | patr|ck, filip_, ejo, invariant | 12:46 |

| anon_ | I want to install mysql on my system but I am not sure which package to install. Just mysql-server or mysql-server-core oder mysql-server-5.5 | 12:46 |
| MonkeyDust | twitter is irrelevant, you will be assimilated | 12:46 |
| patr|ck | theadmin, a simple "haha" is off-topic here? you surely live in the basement | 12:47 |
| theadmin | anon_: mysql-server is probably just a virtual package pointing to mysql-server-5.5, and the -core is probably, uh, not the full server. So, the first one. | 12:47 |
| theadmin | patr|ck: I was just refering to this whole Twitter discussion going on. | 12:47 |
| filip_ | so, anybody using LUKS full disk encryption set up by the installer? | 12:48 |
| Myrtti | filip_: to a some degree of success, why? | 12:48 |
| theadmin | filip_: I don't think the installer offers full disk encryption... I've seen a "encrypt home directory" option, though, is that new in 12.10? | 12:48 |
| bekks | theadmin: No. | 12:48 |
| patr|ck | i failed using it, because it wanted SWAP to be encrypted during install | 12:48 |
| patr|ck | the alternative install btw | 12:49 |
| filip_ | well I want to install using a passphrase and then switch to TPM key storage | 12:49 |
| filip_ | I wonder whether this is possible? | 12:49 |
| Xotix | Hi, do you know a good article about "publishing" web projects? | 12:50 |
| Xotix | about security | 12:50 |
| ikonia | how is that "#ubuntu" ? | 12:50 |
| anon_ | theadmin, thx | 12:50 |
| Myrtti | filip_: I have no personal experience but I don't see why it wouldn't be | 12:51 |
| patr|ck | now that i mention it i have an idea. if you take out the swap partion from the partitioning setup and then create the encrypted volumes it could work | 12:52 |
| Bustacap | All good now. | 12:52 |
| Myrtti | patr|ck: swap being encrypted is normal procedure, are you sure that that is the reason why yours failed? | 12:53 |
| Bustacap | Now I just need to remember that the xswat nvidia is the one that works :P | 12:53 |
| patr|ck | Myrtti, the message from the installer said that, yes | 12:53 |
| Catbuntu | !swap | 12:53 |
| ubottu | swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 12:53 |
| b_head | i need a free vpn that i can connect with the obuntu 12.10 like security kiss. does anyone know anyone that works well? or a vpn software that works with ubuntu 12.10? thanks | 12:53 |
| Lynzabbel | ola guys | 12:53 |
| voxcroix | ola | 12:53 |
| bekks | b_head: Then create your own VPN, on your server and your clients. Thats what openvpn does. | 12:53 |

| ikonia | read the linnk | 12:55 |
| ikonia | pretty good starting point | 12:55 |
| yeats | Lynzabbel: click on the ubuntu symbol in the launcher panel and type 'terminal' - then click it | 12:55 |
| ejo | Lynzabbel: ctrl-alt-T brings up a terminal window in Unity... | 12:55 |
| yeats | or that | 12:55 |
| Lynzabbel | thanks guys! | 12:55 |
| Lynzabbel | =) | 12:55 |
| Bustacap | Now it's time to lay down and watch movies until I fall asleep since my tv is working :P | 12:55 |
| Bustacap | Night all :) | 12:55 |
| patr|ck | maybe the problem is that the swap partition existed before the install in an non-encrypted state | 12:56 |
| Catbuntu | Question: While using VBox on fullscreen, sometimes the HUD appeared. Why? | 12:56 |
| patr|ck | i need to try it again | 12:56 |
| bekks | Catbuntu: Because not every key combination is processed by vbox. | 12:56 |
| Catbuntu | With Unity on Precise, virtualizing XP | 12:56 |
| Catbuntu | And isn't there any way to avoid it! | 12:56 |
| Catbuntu | -!+? | 12:57 |
| bekks | Catbuntu: No. | 12:57 |
| Catbuntu | Oh | 12:57 |
| Catbuntu | Then I'll have to use Gnome Shell if I want to virtualize lol | 12:57 |
| bekks | Catbuntu: Why? Just ignore the HUD or close it again. | 12:58 |
| gordonjcp | or unmap its key | 12:59 |
| yhusha | theres not alot out there on making a system boot to ram | 12:59 |

| Xotix | I'm having a win7 host and ubuntu guest on virtualbox. I tried to set up samba which actually seemed to work. Then i wanted to change the hostname os I did sudo vim /etc/hostname and changed it there. DUe to a tutorial it should work like that but it didn't. I rechanged it to the old name and it works, but now i see a pc in my network called (NONE). Why's that? | 13:02 |
| Lynzabbel | hey guys, is there a reason why my add-apt-repository keeps on taking a long time at Ign http://security.ubuntu.com quantal-security/universe Translation-en_US? | 13:02 |

| yhusha | theres a tutorial @ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootToRAM but theres been a few issues with it and no real comments area its like nobody has tested it | 13:03 |
| ikonia | Lynzabbel: poor performance ? | 13:03 |
| SolarisBoy | Lynzabbel: openvpn? | 13:03 |
| Shirakawasuna | Lynzabbel: might want to switch the server locale that you're using | 13:03 |

| Lynzabbel | ikonia: then? | 13:04 |
| yhusha | the tutorial doesn't even go ointo putting the iso back together it justs reboot and enjoy | 13:04 |
| Lynzabbel | sorry for these weird questions... i confess im an avid windows user trying to make a switch | 13:04 |
| ikonia | that mirror/host could be having poor performance, your machine maybe performing badly resolving that host, your machine may not be completing the transaction quickly | 13:04 |
| b_head | @solarisboy. i tried installing openvpn. after installation, i clicked on the icon on the desktop but it wont open\ | 13:05 |
| Lynzabbel | so how do i switch mirrors then? | 13:05 |
| b_head | @solarisboy. i tried installing openvpn. after installation, i clicked on the icon on the desktop but it wont open\ | 13:05 |
| ikonia | Lynzabbel: why would you switch mirrors for no reason ? | 13:05 |
| SolarisBoy | b_head: it requires configuration | 13:05 |
| Lynzabbel | my machine is doing fine | 13:05 |
| ikonia | b_head: did you read the link ubotu gave you | 13:05 |
| ikonia | Lynzabbel: how do you know ? | 13:06 |
| b_head | @ solarisboy. how do i configure it? | 13:06 |
| yeats | !openvpn | b_head | 13:06 |
| ubottu | b_head: OpenVPN is a vpn technology in Ubuntu, sudo apt-get install openvpn and then see http://openvpn.net/ and see the documentation "HOWTO" noting you have already installed it. ;-) It rocks! | 13:06 |
| ikonia | b_head: did you read the link ubotu gave you | 13:06 |
| Lynzabbel | well im using internet as normal | 13:06 |
| Lynzabbel | im on irc | 13:06 |
| ikonia | Lynzabbel: that's not what I said | 13:06 |
| ikonia | Lynzabbel: please try to focus on the details I'm saying | 13:06 |
| SolarisBoy | it depends on what you want but you need to tell it atleast what keys/cert to use etc | 13:06 |
| Lynzabbel | ikonia: so it seems that my connection to the host is problematic | 13:06 |
| Xotix | ikonia how come that it apperas now and didn't in the past? I think it appered when i tried to name my server like the samba. Can i get rid of it? I'm not very good at networking stuff. Thanks | 13:06 |
| SolarisBoy | or if your connecting to an existing vpn server you should have the key or whatever the auth is | 13:06 |
| ikonia | Xotix: depends on what you changed, the netbios name is normally the same as the hostname in samba | 13:07 |
| SolarisBoy | best to read the doc link the bot posted | 13:07 |
| ikonia | Lynzabbel: it could be anyone of the things I've suggested | 13:07 |
| Shirakawasuna | Lynzabbel: software sources in software center | 13:07 |
| ikonia | I'd advise not changing the sources | 13:07 |
| ikonia | that mirror is a load balanced mirror | 13:08 |
| ikonia | so changing the sources is not a good idea | 13:08 |
| ikonia | (unless you have a genuine reason) | 13:08 |
| Lynzabbel | ikonia: so im stucked then? | 13:08 |
| ikonia | Lynzabbel: , no, check the things I said | 13:08 |
| b_head | @ikonia. i have read the link ubuto gave me and i have installed the app but it wont open | 13:08 |
| Xotix | ikonia i have my server plus this (NONE) thing which appeared when i did vim /etc/hostname | 13:08 |

| jrib | worm: I don't know offhand. I would either read the source code for that button in the gui or search the web for "dbus shutdown linux" and see what comes up | 13:12 |
| ikonia | cjae: the odds of you hitting someone who wants it at that moment in time are slim, best to write a blog post on it so google spiders it so people googling for it will find it easy | 13:12 |
| ikonia | rather than hit a very small number of people active in a channe | 13:12 |
| Nik05 | So does someone know what to do when aptitude is hanging at "Setting up apparmor-profiles (2.7.102-0ubuntu3.5) ..." for like an hour? | 13:13 |

| worm | jrib: OK. I'll search for that. I have never realized that dbus can be used to power off the computer. | 13:13 |
| cjae | ikonia: thanks for added attention to it lol :-) | 13:13 |
| jrib | worm: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/29637/how-do-i-shut-down-a-system-through-a-consolekit-dbus-message-as-user seems like a relevant discussion. I'd read a few more links though and then compare my findings. | 13:13 |
| jrib | worm: this is some sort of wiki: http://how-to.wikia.com/wiki/Howto_shutdown_a_Linux_computer_via_command-line let me see if I can find anything on the official wiki | 13:14 |
| worm | jrib: Thanks a lot! | 13:15 |
| jrib | worm: oh, you could use dbus-monitor, have it write to a file, then shutdown your computer through a gui, restart and see what's in the file :) | 13:17 |
| jrib | worm: anyway, let me know if you can't get it to work | 13:17 |
| worm | I'll try it. Actually I ask for that is because I am using fluxbox, which have no "Poweroff "button. | 13:17 |

| ubottu | 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.

| MonkeyDust | !root | 14:55 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 14:55 |

| MonkeyDust | sundar you need to add 'count=....' for the size | 15:30 |

| joe_onereb | I'm having difficulities with logging on to a newly set up ubuntu server using ssh from both a windows machine and a linux machine, neither are working | 15:45 |
| bazhang | baordog, that happens with files, sometimes. | 15:45 |
| baordog | will it happen again if I just try to download it again? This seems kind of suspicious | 15:45 |
| zykotick9 | hangdeadman: sorry that was suppose to be "please use TAB for my nick" ;) | 15:46 |
| bazhang | baordog, did you get the torrent yet? | 15:46 |
| hangdeadman | zykotick9: how do i restart xorg? | 15:46 |
| baordog | No, I'd prefer not to torrent it | 15:46 |
| zykotick9 | hangdeadman: assuming you use lightdm, "sudo service lightdm restart" should work | 15:46 |

| yhusha_ | what would this code appear to do: sudo mount -o loop -t squashfs /casper/filesystem.squashfs /mnt | 15:49 |
| escott | yhusha, mount the casper image to /mnt | 15:49 |
| baordog | what if it's not corrupt? What else could be wrong? | 15:49 |
| yhusha_ | the casper image of the host system | 15:49 |
| ActionParsnip | baordog: what video chip do you use? | 15:50 |
| escott | yhusha, the casper image of whatever is in /casper | 15:50 |
| bazhang | baordog, you just checked the hashes and they do NOT match. it's corrupt | 15:50 |
| bazhang | ActionParsnip, this is about a downloaded iso, not a video driver | 15:50 |
| ActionParsnip | bazhang: gotcha | 15:50 |
| redheat | hi everyone, guys I need a quick favor, if I have an HP Touchsmart tm-2 that has two graphics cards one of them is an intel/ and the other is ATI Radeon HD 4000 series, is there a video driver that goes with this setup...it's a MUX setup, that is switched by Hardware Multiplixer therefore the word MUX, | 15:54 |
| redheat | My system right now is using VESA, the Generic drive that came with Ubuntu 12.10, no properiatory driver installed | 15:55 |

| ActionParsnip | redheat: if you can disable one of the video chips in BIOS, I suggest you do that | 15:57 |
| redheat | I tried installing and uninstalling so many times it gave me black screen, fortunately I have another Linux OS next to my Ubuntu setup | 15:57 |
| redheat | unfortunately, the BIOS I got doesn't support that | 15:57 |
| redheat | and from that OS linux I was able to delete all the xorg files under x11 only then I was able to login back successfuly | 15:58 |
| redheat | escott, does switcheroo or bumblee work as intended | 15:58 |
| rex | bol | 15:59 |
| georges | bumblebee gave me headaches with intel/NVidia hybrid on my portable. I gave up after about 6 hrs of fuxing with it | 15:59 |
| ActionParsnip | redheat: I've never seen a success with that tech. It's best avoided imho | 16:00 |
| redheat | you know georges, ActionParsnip, the only thing that scares me is when it gets too hot, and suddenly the whole laptop shuts down, it happened couple of times before but on the other linux OS, Mint Maya, and I had to reboot from Ubuntu and do the whole delete xorg file thingy...and uninstall the drivers.. | 16:01 |
| DeltaHeavy | How can I "View Desktop" with Unity on 12.10? | 16:01 |
| ActionParsnip | DeltaHeavy: ALT+TAB and there is an option there | 16:02 |

| DeltaHeavy | Thanks to both of you for your help! | 16:03 |
| ActionParsnip | DeltaHeavy: changing session for something that trivial, seems a little excessive | 16:04 |
| DeltaHeavy | Anyway, does anybody find Unity has a bit of a lag on it? I've only used it before on really old machines and VM's which is what I thought this lag is from. I'm wondering if now it's cause this hardware is so new and the nouvou driver doesn't like me very much. | 16:04 |
| DeltaHeavy | ActionParsnip: It's a collection of things. Mainly it feels kinda slow | 16:04 |
| ikonia | DeltaHeavy: the support and performance of the 3d video component is key | 16:05 |
| ActionParsnip | DeltaHeavy: try other things, its all free | 16:05 |
| DeltaHeavy | GNOME2/XFCE feel so quick and snappy. | 16:05 |
| ActionParsnip | DeltaHeavy: could even run just openbox/fluxbox and ditch the desktop altogether | 16:05 |
| DeltaHeavy | ikonia: I have a 460GTX but I need to move this into a computer that's Intel integrated only. I'm afraid if I install that other driver it'll kill support on the other machine. | 16:05 |
| ikonia | DeltaHeavy why would that kill support ? | 16:05 |
| DeltaHeavy | ActionParsnip: Those are too minimal for my tastes. I think I'm going to stick with Mint on MATE. Have a couple of quams with Mint but nothing I can't really fix. | 16:06 |
| === darkham is now known as krabador | ||
| DeltaHeavy | ikonia: Cause then I'll be trying to run a driver that's for a specific card/chipset, on something COMPLETELY different. | 16:06 |
| ActionParsnip | DeltaHeavy: Remember, mint isn't supported here. It has it's own channels and forums for support | 16:06 |
| mns | can I upgrade from xubuntu to ubuntu ? what do I need in my /etc/apt/sources.list to do that ? | 16:06 |
| DeltaHeavy | Yeah, I'm just mentioning it because I'm not a fan of Mint but it seems to be the only distro that supports MATE. | 16:06 |
| ikonia | DeltaHeavy: so you then either a.) use dynamic xorg detection b.) disable the drivers you think may be a problem before you move machine | 16:06 |
| ActionParsnip | mns: its not an upgrade, you just install a different desktop and log in to that instead | 16:07 |
| ikonia | DeltaHeavy: or c.) do a clean install on your new machine and migrate data | 16:07 |
| ActionParsnip | mns: you don't need to change any sources files etc | 16:07 |
| DeltaHeavy | ikonia: I'd probably use 'a' but this install is for a short term project of mine and I don't wanna get to the other place I need to be with this and it just not work without me having to muck about for who knows how long. | 16:07 |
| mns | ActionParsnip: which desktop do I install ? aptitude install task-gnome-desktop ? | 16:08 |
| ActionParsnip | mns: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 16:09 |
| mns | ahhh ok | 16:09 |
| mns | ActionParsnip: thanks. | 16:09 |
| ActionParsnip | !info gnome-desktop | 16:09 |
| ubottu | Package gnome-desktop does not exist in quantal | 16:09 |
| ActionParsnip | ;) | 16:09 |
| DeltaHeavy | Does GNOME2 fallback mode also use all that GPU stuff? | 16:09 |
| ikonia | gnome2 fall back is dead | 16:10 |
| DeltaHeavy | Ah, good to know. Thanks! | 16:10 |
| ActionParsnip | DeltaHeavy: I don't believe it uses Compiz | 16:10 |
| mns | I guess I'll prepare myself for Unity ... | 16:10 |
| DeltaHeavy | mns: I suggest you try it first. I've been trying it and it's not quite my cup of tea. | 16:11 |
| ActionParsnip | DeltaHeavy: could try LXDE too :) | 16:11 |
| === notOnBBits is now known as iRCLad | ||
| DeltaHeavy | ActionParsnip: Ew, no thanks :p. I think I'm too hung up on GNOME2 so I'm just going to be a MATE/XFCE fanboy. | 16:11 |
| ikonia | then don't use ubuntu | 16:11 |
| gordonjcp | DeltaHeavy: gnome 2 is horrible | 16:12 |
| ikonia | ubuntu's supported/default desktop is unity - if you're not comfortable with that I'd suggest looking at different distros | 16:12 |
| ikonia | gnome 2 is dead so a pointless conversation | 16:12 |
| ActionParsnip | DeltaHeavy: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/raring.png fun | 16:12 |
| gordonjcp | I don't understand why people want to keep that bloated pile around | 16:12 |
| mns | DeltaHeavy: yeah I know what you mean. | 16:12 |
| DeltaHeavy | ikonia: It's the only distro that's worked on my machine. My mobo is really new and Ubuntu's hardware support is the best so I hear. Also regardless of distro, DE is up to the user. I could just uninstall Unity and install XFCE on this bad boy but I'm just going to put up with Unity until I'm done | 16:12 |
| gordonjcp | mint will be good when they update to using Unity, and finally get rid of that crappy Gnome 2 zombie | 16:13 |
| DeltaHeavy | godeonjcp: Matter of preference. | 16:13 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: why change distro, the OS is super cusomizable | 16:13 |
| emx | how can i tell aptitude not to use any i386 packages? | 16:13 |
| DeltaHeavy | gordonjcp: It works, so it's not bad in my books. If you don't like it I understand though. | 16:13 |
| gordonjcp | DeltaHeavy: you prefer a slow ugly desktop that gets in your way? | 16:13 |
| ikonia | ActionParsnip because if they wanted to use xfce, they would use xubuntu, or kubuntu etc | 16:13 |
| alouwa | join chanel | 16:13 |
| ActionParsnip | emx: it won't it doesnt play with dual arch too well | 16:13 |
| gordonjcp | Gnome 2 was good when it first came out but it ended up with all kinds of extra stuff tossed in | 16:13 |
| DeltaHeavy | gordonjcp: Unity are all those things to me where GNOME2 is none of those things. MATE and XFCE are far more lightweight and require less powerful hardware than Unity. | 16:13 |
| ikonia | installing ubuntu to then remove unity just seems backwards, | 16:13 |
| gordonjcp | DeltaHeavy: XFCE is slow | 16:14 |
| DeltaHeavy | gordonjcp: You're wrong as fact | 16:14 |
| ikonia | mate mate desktop is pointless | 16:14 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: you can install ubuntu mini then install xfce, lsb_release will report 'ubuntu' | 16:14 |
| emx | ActionParsnip, i open aptitude after the first install and all bloody i386 are selected (and blocking the amd64 ones) | 16:14 |

| bekks | alouwa: Font forget the "/" before the join. Like "/join..." | 16:14 |
| DeltaHeavy | gordonjcp: You must have some interesting hardware because XFCE is KNOWN for being more lightweight than Unity. Read Xubuntu's front page, it'll probably enlighten you. | 16:14 |
| ActionParsnip | gordonjcp: its ust quicker generally | 16:14 |
| gordonjcp | DeltaHeavy: the XFCE code is written to use less memory but run a lot slower than Gnome | 16:15 |

| Eagleman | I am trying to select only files that are max 2 weeks old in my script, but this is failing, i am using: find test/* -mtime 14 but nothing shows up: this is a file in the folder: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 2 17:11 test | 16:17 |
| DeltaHeavy | I'll take your word then. Perhaps Unity FEELS a lot slower and sluggish to me but then again I'm using nouvou. Regardless XFCE is regarded among-st many as "fast" and "lightweight" which I believe it to be. | 16:17 |
| ikonia | Eagleman: don't need test/* | 16:17 |
| Guest49506 | ActionParsnip: I don't know what happened, but I learned from you - as I always do - and now amule works correctly | 16:17 |
| ikonia | Eagleman: just test or . if it's the cwd | 16:17 |
| bazhang | DeltaHeavy, thats enough | 16:17 |
| DeltaHeavy | mns: I'm not too familiar with any of the *buntu linux's. Sorry. | 16:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest49506: glad you got the gold :) | 16:18 |
| links | Is there a workaround if my isp allocated a private dynamic ip to me if i want people to access my webserver? | 16:18 |
| bekks | Eagleman: then you want to check for the creation time, not the modification time. Or do you even like the access time even more? | 16:18 |
| ikonia | DeltaHeavy: as I said at the start, the key is 3d support, you've already said you are using the limited support drivers, what do you expect | 16:18 |
| Guest49506 | z | 16:18 |
| ActionParsnip | DeltaHeavy: I bet just a WM on its own is lighter | 16:18 |
| Eagleman | Creation/modification time i guess | 16:18 |
| Guest49506 | ActionParsnip: Too rarely thanks is given, so tjat is resolved | 16:18 |
| DeltaHeavy | ikonia: True, I think it might be because I expect any GNU/Linux distro to have the mantra many seem to have of "works great on your grandma's P4", not that Ubuntu not following that is a negative point. | 16:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest49506: too true, that's why its appreciated when it is given | 16:19 |
| Eagleman | files get downloaded, then moved to another folder, then timestamped with touch to the current date, then i want to run the find -m script | 16:19 |
| bekks | Eagleman: Which doesnt answer the question :) | 16:20 |
| somsip | links: use a service like dyndns or no-ip and add a CNAME entry to your domain to point to it | 16:20 |
| DeltaHeavy | ActionParsnip: True, it is, you gotta look at features/usability too though. XFCE/MATE have everything I need without it getting in the way while feeling dead instant. | 16:20 |
| ikonia | DeltaHeavy ubuntu doesn't say that, it gives you clear hardware requirements | 16:20 |
| Eagleman | well if i timestamp it with touch, which thing changes? modification or creation time? | 16:20 |
| bekks | Eagleman: Modification time. | 16:20 |
| ActionParsnip | DeltaHeavy: if all you do is web browser and chat, then its enough | 16:20 |
| escott | Eagleman, there is no such thing as creation time | 16:20 |
| ikonia | DeltaHeavy: it's not meant for 10 year old PC's, it's a modern OS, that's why it calls out reasonable hardware modification . | 16:20 |
| Eagleman | modification time then | 16:21 |
| ikonia | specficiation | 16:21 |
| DeltaHeavy | ikonia: I know, like I said, I'm not trying to bash Ubuntu on there. It would ruin the point of GNU/Linux if everybody expected EVERY distro to be 'x' and 'y'. | 16:21 |
| ActionParsnip | DeltaHeavy: you can even use tint2 as a panel at the bottom | 16:21 |
| Guest14653 | Does anybody know a good web page that explains how to learn C++ on Linux? | 16:21 |
| ikonia | DeltaHeavy: what you are sayig makes no sense | 16:21 |
| bekks | escott: Then whats ctime? OF COURSE there is a creation time. | 16:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest14653: the guys in #c++ may know a thing or 3 | 16:21 |
| gordonjcp | Guest14653: there are hundreds, possibly thousands | 16:21 |
| DeltaHeavy | ikonia: I'm saying Ubuntu isn't a very lightweight distro, not that I'm trying to say that's a bad thing. | 16:21 |
| Eagleman | But then, find . -mtime 14 is still not working | 16:21 |
| ActionParsnip | DeltaHeavy: it can be, depends on config | 16:22 |
| ikonia | DeltaHeavy sorry, that's just not true | 16:22 |
| DeltaHeavy | I'm on a modern PC, I think it's just cause I"m using nouvou. WHen all this is said and done I'm going to install the appropriate graphics driver and see how it fairs. | 16:22 |
| escott | bekks, ctime is change time. when the inode was changed (permissions ownership) | 16:22 |
| Guest14653 | Tried to get into #c++ but landed in the overflow channel. | 16:22 |
| bekks | Eagleman: Just take a look at the atime/mtime/ctime options of find. | 16:22 |
| prashant_123456 | which shell i am using from terminal | 16:22 |
| bekks | prashant_123456: "echo $SHELl" | 16:22 |
| zykotick9 | prashant_123456: bash is default | 16:23 |
| DeltaHeavy | ikonia: What's not true? | 16:23 |
| escott | bekks, the problem is semantics of creation are unclear. if I echo "test" > foo.txt should the creation time be the new time or the old one? what if I echo "test" > foo.new; mv foo.txt foo.old; mv foo.new foo.txt; | 16:23 |
| ikonia | DeltaHeavy: that ubuntu is not lightweight | 16:23 |
| DeltaHeavy | Compared to Windows/OS X I'll say it's quite lightweight compared to those behemoths :p | 16:23 |
| ikonia | wow - you're just talking nonsense now | 16:23 |
| ActionParsnip | DeltaHeavy: ubuntu minimal + openbox + slim = ~1Gb installed. Super light | 16:23 |
| prashant_123456 | bekks, is it echo $SHELL | 16:23 |
| ikonia | I'd suggest stop making thigns up | 16:23 |
| escott | bekks, the most recent ext filesystems allow in the inode space for a creation time, but it is not exported by any tools | 16:23 |
| bekks | prashant_123456: Thats a command you have to type in your shell, followed by pressing enter. | 16:23 |
| DeltaHeavy | ActionParsnip: I'm talking the default 12.04 install. You can do whatever you want to pretty much any GNU/Linux. | 16:23 |
| bekks | escott: ack. | 16:24 |
| prashant_123456 | bekks, ok sir | 16:24 |
| DeltaHeavy | ikonia: What I'm I making up? | 16:24 |
| ikonia | DeltaHeavy: "fat windows, fat mac os, ubuntu is lighter" etc | 16:24 |
| ActionParsnip | DeltaHeavy: but you never said that....you just said 'ubuntu isn't lightweight' | 16:24 |
| bazhang | !ot | 16:24 |
| ubottu | #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! | 16:24 |
| ActionParsnip | DeltaHeavy: try qualifying more exactly, the install I quoted above is STILL Ubuntu, it's not the default but it is Ubuntu | 16:24 |
| bazhang | lets all move back to support Please | 16:25 |
| DeltaHeavy | ActionParsnip: I guess it's subjective. Compared to CentOS, Debian, and Arch which is what I usually use, it's quite a bit more lightweight. I'm also talking about out of the box | 16:25 |
| ActionParsnip | DeltaHeavy: if you make generalizations as wide as that, we can and wil shoot you down | 16:25 |
| ikonia | this is tedious fantasy talk made up of nonsense | 16:25 |
| ikonia | I suggest parking it | 16:25 |
| DeltaHeavy | ikonia: Are you suggesting WIndows 7 has a smaller resource footprint than Ubuntu? | 16:25 |
| ikonia | DeltaHeavy it certainly can | 16:26 |
| DeltaHeavy | Out of the box install? | 16:26 |
| ikonia | DeltaHeavy it certainly can | 16:26 |
| escott | DeltaHeavy, all this depends on what you call "the os" there is a console only mode version of windows server | 16:26 |
| DeltaHeavy | In what sort of situation since you're sayiugn "can" | 16:26 |
| DeltaHeavy | escott: Windows 7 Home Preimum | 16:26 |
| cleamoon | DeltaHeavy, it is true... ubuntu has been too big now | 16:26 |
| ikonia | DeltaHeavy: on my machine they come in at approx the same resource use out of the box - no changes to configuration | 16:26 |
| escott | DeltaHeavy, vs what? | 16:26 |
| ActionParsnip | DeltaHeavy: if you install every package in the repos, will it not be bigger than a Win7 install? | 16:27 |
| DeltaHeavy | escott: Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop | 16:27 |
| DeltaHeavy | I'm talking OUT OF THE BOX | 16:27 |
| baordog | bazhang: still doesn't work, same thing | 16:27 |
| DeltaHeavy | Not with 50'000 daemons running, god damn. | 16:27 |
| ActionParsnip | DeltaHeavy: that is moot, OOTB is a nothing statement | 16:27 |
| escott | DeltaHeavy, thats not a fair comparison. ubuntu-desktop includes a word processor and windows home premium does not | 16:27 |
| DeltaHeavy | I'm talking about OPERATING SYSTEMS, not applications that run on top of the operating system then adding up ALL their resources usage. | 16:27 |
| ActionParsnip | DeltaHeavy: who do you know wh ust installs an OS then leaves it exactly as it is> | 16:27 |
| RickZilla | Win7 doesn't come with anything in it | 16:27 |
| wdp_ | escott, haha | 16:28 |
| bazhang | ActionParsnip, DeltaHeavy lets move on Please | 16:28 |
| RickZilla | ubuntu comes with a lot of apps already in it: apples/oranges | 16:28 |
| ActionParsnip | RickZilla: comes with a bit, a junk d burner and a half ass firewall :) | 16:28 |
| DeltaHeavy | If anybody wants to continue this conversation I'm in ##ubuntu-offtopic, also @RIckZilla: You can install IIS out of the box with Windows 7 running ASP.NET | 16:28 |
| RickZilla | But it sounds like the mods in here want the win7/ubuntu debate moved elsewhere | 16:28 |
| baordog | could it be an actual malfunction on the computer? | 16:28 |
| ActionParsnip | bazhang: i will, the guy doesn't seem to know what he is on about and talks in generalities so faras to be meanigless | 16:29 |
| bazhang | baordog, thats doubtful | 16:29 |
| baordog | hmm what else is there? | 16:29 |
| DeltaHeavy | ActionParsnip: I think you're just misunderstanding what I'm saying. I'mt alking about the Operating System sans all the other software you can throw on top of it. | 16:29 |

| ikonia | DeltaHeavy: nothing to do with ubuntu | 16:29 |
| DeltaHeavy | ActionParsnip: So I suggest before you bash somebody you actually either a) Work on your reading comprehension or b) Read what I'm saying with a little more effort. | 16:29 |
| ikonia | DeltaHeavy: sorry - not you | 16:29 |
| bazhang | baordog, ok thats good | 16:29 |
| ikonia | DR01D-Engineer: nothing to do with ubuntu | 16:30 |
| baordog | b4191c1d1d6fdf358c154f8bf86b97dd | 16:30 |
| ivan__ | Добрый вечер! Есть тут кто-то? | 16:30 |

| ubottu | ivan__: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. | 16:30 |
| bazhang | baordog, and you said they matched | 16:30 |
| ActionParsnip | DR01D-Engineer: i'd use a virtual system for real testing | 16:30 |
| DeltaHeavy | DR01D-Engineer: Ask #web | 16:30 |
| DR01D-Engineer | ok thanks | 16:30 |
| wdp_ | DR01D-Engineer, i had trouble gettinig ie8 to work in wine. there's some sort of ie8 replacement in wine if using that -> no. trying to install ie8 using winetricks the browser didn't work. I'd suggest use a virtual system for testing. | 16:30 |
| mega1 | if i wright a script to install proftpd how would i get it to ans y to the install question | 16:30 |
| DR01D-Engineer | ok ill try a virtualthing | 16:30 |
| ikonia | mega1: look at "response files" | 16:30 |
| bazhang | baordog, just to be absolutely clear, this is a HDD drive, and not a flash stick? | 16:31 |
| baordog | bazhang: they match | 16:31 |
| escott | mega1, please don't use ftp. sftp can almost certainly do what you need if you just ask | 16:31 |
| baordog | it's a flash stick | 16:31 |
| bazhang | baordog, thats good, and this is a hdd and not a flash stick? | 16:31 |
| baordog | flash stick | 16:31 |
| bazhang | baordog, just cat the iso to the flash stick | 16:31 |
| baordog | cat? | 16:32 |
| bazhang | baordog, its a command | 16:32 |
| bazhang | cat ubuntu.iso > usb stick | 16:32 |
| escott | bazhang, i realize you could do that with cat, but wouldn't dd be safer | 16:32 |
| baordog | I'm on windows over here, not sure I have that command | 16:32 |
| bazhang | baordog, ah ok | 16:32 |
| baordog | been using yumi to mount it on the stick | 16:33 |
| zykotick9 | escott: debian suggests using cat for hybridisos... | 16:33 |
| baordog | it's for a friend, he lost his HD and the operating system with it | 16:33 |
| bazhang | baordog, never heard of yumi, sorry. | 16:33 |
| DeltaHeavy | boardog: Are you trying to create a bootable USB? | 16:33 |
| baordog | yes | 16:33 |
| DeltaHeavy | baordog: I've used "unetbootin" with no issues. | 16:33 |
| escott | zykotick9, over dd? any reason why. seems strange to use cat for binaries | 16:33 |
| baordog | tried that first go round | 16:33 |
| DeltaHeavy | I've only used local .iso's though, not sure how well it's download feature is. | 16:34 |
| baordog | same thing as now | 16:34 |
| DeltaHeavy | boardog: What happens when you insert the USB and try to boot from it? | 16:34 |
| zykotick9 | escott: i've asked about cat vs. dd before - i'm told the only real difference, might, be speed. | 16:34 |
| mega1 | escott: what is sftp and why should i use it | 16:34 |
| baordog | I get the first line of text about a copy right | 16:34 |
| baordog | SYSLINUX | 16:34 |
| baordog | and nothing | 16:34 |
| FloodBot1 | baordog: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 16:34 |
| baordog | gets stuck there | 16:34 |
| baordog | does nothing | 16:34 |
| zykotick9 | escott: i used to use cat to create ISOs on a regular basis. this is just the reverse ;) | 16:34 |
| DeltaHeavy | boardog: It looks like it's copying on alright, perhaps his hardware isn't supported? | 16:34 |
| RickZilla | I installed 12.10 alongside Win using a Live cd...how will I approach upgrading to the next ubuntu when it comes that time? will another Live CD recognize the partition and give me the option of writing over the older ubuntu? | 16:35 |
| escott | mega1, sftp is the openssh ftp module. the commands are ftp commands but its running over openssh. so its secure unlike ftp, and it uses only one port unlike ftp | 16:35 |
| baordog | He's got an HP pavillion laptop, doesn't look like anything exotic | 16:35 |
| mega1 | how do i install it | 16:36 |
| DeltaHeavy | baordog: I find laptops can be troublesome sometimes. Try Googleing if somebody's gotten your specific distro running on that specific laptop build. | 16:36 |
| Nik05 | yeats it looks like aa-status stopped and aptitude finished :S | 16:36 |
| escott | zykotick9, thats really strange. i realize nothing is supposed to interpret the stream between cat and the redirection, but i would worry that something might | 16:36 |
| escott | mega1, sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 16:36 |
| escott | mega1, which in and of itself is incredibly useful | 16:36 |
| BluesKaj | RickZilla, you could upgrade via the internet with the do-release-upgrade command , when the new release is official | 16:36 |
| baordog | I mean, it's ubunutu 12 | 16:36 |
| RickZilla | BluesKaj: Thanks, I didn't know an upgrade like that was possible | 16:37 |
| DeltaHeavy | megal: Always try to use SFTP over FTP. It's a superior protocol for more than it just being secure. FTP is a legacy protocol. | 16:37 |
| baordog | so yes. Lots of people have ^_^ | 16:37 |
| DeltaHeavy | Dat protocol OLD | 16:37 |
| mega1 | what i was looking for was a way to write a script that would setup a server the way i wanted i wanted to get the script to install software and andwer the do you want to install question | 16:38 |
| DeltaHeavy | mega1: You could probably accomplish that with a bash script. | 16:38 |
| ikonia | mega1: yes, and I've told you, a response file | 16:38 |
| === Guest53065 is now known as Jens | ||
| BluesKaj | RickZilla, when the the new release is official the packages are added to the repositories | 16:39 |
| === Jens is now known as jens | ||
| === jens is now known as Guest39323 | ||
| escott | mega1, ftp servers are bad. your question about configuring services is unrelated to what you pick. you install the app and modify some files in /etc. thats all you do | 16:39 |
| === Guest39323 is now known as jbache | ||
| links | is there a work around to make my private ip assigned by my isp public? | 16:39 |
| ikonia | links: like your 192. address ? | 16:40 |
| escott | !info ddclient | links and use a dynamic dns service | 16:40 |
| ubottu | links and use a dynamic dns service: ddclient (source: ddclient): address updating utility for dynamic DNS services. In component universe, is extra. Version 3.8.0-11.5ubuntu1 (quantal), package size 68 kB, installed size 310 kB | 16:40 |
| mega1 | i do know they are unrelated and i just picked that install as an example | 16:40 |
| escott | mega1, well stop installing ftp servers anyways. someone will p0wn you bad one day | 16:41 |
| RickZilla | BluesKaj: So I'll be able to upgrade to 13.4 with just a command line | 16:41 |
| BluesKaj | RickZilla, 13.04 , yes | 16:41 |
| BluesKaj | RickZilla, are you on 12.10 ? | 16:42 |
| RickZilla | BluesKaj: and I'm assuming one has to do those upgrades in order | 16:42 |
| RickZilla | BluesKaj: yes | 16:42 |
| links | ikonia: apparently i was told the ip address given to me 103.11.50.5 is a dynamic private ip and there is no way to connect to my computer outside the home network. I've been trying to find a work around | 16:42 |
| RickZilla | debated between that and 12.4 since 12.4 was LTS | 16:42 |
| BluesKaj | RickZilla, your logic is correct :) | 16:42 |
| RickZilla | BluesKaj: k, glad I went with 12.10 then | 16:43 |
| DeltaHeavy | Is Ubuntu's feature to upgrade to the newer versions stable and working nicely now? I remember back in 8.04 when it wasn't rec commended at all. | 16:44 |
| BluesKaj | RickZilla, LTS is different , one can upgrade from one LTS directly to the next LTS | 16:44 |
| TandyUK | links: i could understand that ip beong on your router, but nor assigned to one of your pcs unless you have a subnet, inwhich case you wouldnt be here askign about it | 16:44 |
| baordog | DeltaHeavy: any ideas? I'm kind of at a loss | 16:44 |
| TandyUK | 103.11.50.5 is not a private ip (private ips are 10.x.x.x, 172.16.x.x - 172.31.x.x and 192.168.x.x) | 16:45 |
| DeltaHeavy | baordog: What's the Laptop full model name? | 16:45 |
| JPMH | links: Your address is accssible - the probbale issue is that when requests come in the router has no idea where to send them, you need to set port forwarding | 16:45 |
| baordog | I don't know off the top of myhead | 16:45 |
| TandyUK | ah he needs to setup port forawrding then | 16:45 |
| DeltaHeavy | TandyUK: Technically a private IP could be anything thanks to NAT :p | 16:45 |
| TandyUK | DeltaHeavy: no private ips are as defined by rfc1918 | 16:46 |
| TandyUK | outside the ranges i mentioned, it is not a private ip (not that it would stop you assigning one to a local pc behind a firewall though) | 16:46 |
| DeltaHeavy | What, that's new to me. I've seen all sorts of obscure one's though like 142.* but I guess those are reccommended private IP's? | 16:46 |
| TandyUK | no anything outside the 3 ranges i posted isa public ip | 16:46 |
| DeltaHeavy | You can still use those IP's as private IP's though right? By private IP you mean a network range that sits on the LAN? | 16:47 |
| TandyUK | no you need to understand what "private ip" means | 16:47 |
| gordonjcp | DeltaHeavy: not really | 16:47 |
| TandyUK | private means a router will not try to route it over the public internet | 16:47 |
| gordonjcp | DeltaHeavy: there are a certain range of well-defined networks | 16:47 |
| gordonjcp | DeltaHeavy: these are *specifically* excluded from being forwarded to the wider Internet | 16:48 |
| TandyUK | nothing to do with the pc it is assigned to | 16:48 |
| DeltaHeavy | TandyUK: But those are probably pre-configured home routers like Linksys and D-Link right? When dealing with things like CISCO routers it's all a matter of your routes? | 16:48 |
| JPMH | links: is all that you want to do is get access to your home machine from outside? | 16:48 |
| TandyUK | if you have a cisco router, chances are you have an assigned block of public ips to use | 16:49 |
| TandyUK | but the router really doesnt matter | 16:49 |
| TandyUK | read up on RFC1918 | 16:49 |
| gordonjcp | DeltaHeavy: they're defined in RFC1918, but basically 10.x.x.x, 172.16.x.x to 172.31.x.x and 192.168.x.x are all private networks | 16:49 |
| DeltaHeavy | TandyUK: Ok thanks, I think there's something I'm not understanding here. | 16:49 |
| TandyUK | oh the penny drops | 16:49 |
| TandyUK | lol | 16:49 |
| gordonjcp | DeltaHeavy: what are you not understanding? | 16:49 |
| TandyUK | basic subnetting from the sounds of things :P | 16:50 |
| escott | DeltaHeavy, not exactly. if I tried to make 8.8.8.8 a private ip behind a NAT anyone on my subnet would be very frustrated to not find google DNS at 8.8.8.8 | 16:50 |
| JPMH | gordonjcp: I did not check but I thought they were defined as "non routable" rather than private | 16:50 |
| TandyUK | they are very routable JPMH | 16:51 |
| DeltaHeavy | gordonjcp: For instance I know a public place that assigns all it's computer a 142.* address for internal computers. I've also played around using IP's that differ from those. I was pretty sure you could use any damn address you want in your LAN as long as your routing/NAT is set up to support it. | 16:51 |
| TandyUK | otherwise we would have big problems trying to do things like vpn's | 16:51 |
| TandyUK | DeltaHeavy: that just means that tey have a large public assignment in the 142. range | 16:51 |
| escott | DeltaHeavy, you can use any address so long as you are willing to break access to the wider internet | 16:51 |
| gordonjcp | JPMH: "non-routable" is more correct, yes | 16:52 |
| TandyUK | most people get 1 single ip assigned to their router, which then does nat | 16:52 |
| RickZilla | BluesKaj: How far apart are LTS's released? | 16:52 |
| DeltaHeavy | TandyUK: Even though it's ~2'500+ internal computers for userland use? | 16:52 |
| gordonjcp | DeltaHeavy: if the computer has an address that starts 142.<something> then it may well be globally accessible | 16:52 |
| gordonjcp | DeltaHeavy: it doesn't have to be though | 16:52 |
| JPMH | I have seen a lot of people use the 25.x.x.x range too since they are assigned to the UK DoD and they do not make then available to the outside world - I don;t know why people do it though when there are the 10.x.x.x and the other mentioned above available | 16:52 |
| TandyUK | large companies often have blocks of 64+ ips whcih they can assign idividually to pcs inside or outside the building | 16:52 |
| === Youri is now known as YBook | ||
| James_Carter | hello? | 16:53 |
| DeltaHeavy | I think I understand what you guys are saying though now. The IT at the place does suck gigantically. All the playing around I've done has been in CISCO packet tracer and isolated networking rooms. | 16:53 |
| DeltaHeavy | But yeah, escott's 8.8.8.8 example made it click. | 16:53 |
| TandyUK | James_Carter: goodbye? | 16:53 |
| James_Carter | lol | 16:54 |
| yhusha | are changes made to an iso made in real time to the image in a live enviroment | 16:54 |
| TandyUK | yhusha: an iso is read only, so no | 16:54 |
| James_Carter | im tryin out new IRC and didnt kno if it worked | 16:54 |
| DeltaHeavy | yhusha: No, the live disk is read-only. | 16:54 |
| BluesKaj | RickZilla, every 2 yrs | 16:54 |
| TandyUK | James_Carter: no it doesnt ;) | 16:55 |
| James_Carter | lol i see that ;) | 16:55 |
| yhusha | yea but its being edited via terminal chroot sessions and what not mounted it moved things around and so on | 16:55 |
| James_Carter | anyone have link to all (or most) linux distros? | 16:55 |
| TandyUK | yhusha: thats the unionfs? file system | 16:56 |
| gordonjcp | DeltaHeavy: where it gets fun is when you set up VPNs and you *do* route RFC1918 addresses ;-) | 16:56 |
| yhusha | its not a live disk but an iso file on hdd | 16:56 |
| DeltaHeavy | gordonjcp: Ugh, knowing that now that's going to make VLAN's a lot more fun to hammer out :p | 16:56 |
| yhusha | yes well before the squashfs was 666 mb before these edits now its almost 700 | 16:56 |

| yeats | James_Carter: what escott said (was gonna share that myself) | 16:59 |
| James_Carter | lol..ok well how bout a list of recent releases? | 16:59 |
| escott | James_Carter, maybe if you went to distrowatch first... | 16:59 |
| James_Carter | ahh ok cool thnx | 17:00 |
| darkham | hi, how can i look if my nvidia fx 5900 is 3d on? | 17:00 |
| James_Carter | oh and if i want to replace ubuntu with a new OS would i go about it same as i did with ubuntu to replace windows? | 17:00 |
| escott | darkham, check the output of glxinfo. the vendor and renderer strings glxinfo | grep -i vendor | 17:01 |
| escott | James_Carter, yes a reinstall | 17:01 |
| DeltaHeavy | James_Carter: Pretty much yes, although different distros may use different installation software. | 17:01 |
| James_Carter | and it will remove ubuntu? | 17:01 |
| escott | James_Carter, if you do ask it to | 17:01 |
| DeltaHeavy | James_Cater: Do you understand hardrive partitions? | 17:01 |
| kanop | I've just updated my system and... unity and compiz crash, can't get either to work. currently I'm logged in from irssi. :X | 17:02 |
| James_Carter | not really | 17:02 |
| kanop | any suggestions? | 17:02 |
| darkham | escott, i've ever Nvidia Corporation for server client and opengl, but if i run ubuntu with a 2d desktop, all aright, if i try to run unity or gnome with 3d on, i've only the pointer and a blank screen | 17:02 |
| Xotix | Just did sudo cp a file in apache2/sites-available which worked but i get the msg sudo: unable to resolve host restart, what's that? | 17:03 |
| escott | Xotix, sounds like your hostname is messed up. did you mess with /etc/hostname | 17:03 |
| DeltaHeavy | James_Carter: When you install an OS you need to install it onto a partition. You can have 4 partitions with 4 different OS's on them and you can pick which one to boot at startup. You probably gave Ubuntu 1 partition the entire length of the hardrive. You can shrink that partition and install a new one or just delete it and make a new one. | 17:03 |
| escott | Xotix, or /etc/hosts | 17:03 |
| yeats | James_Carter: you might want to do some web searches on dual booting | 17:03 |
| yeats | or multibooting | 17:04 |
| James_Carter | so partitionis like multiboot? | 17:04 |
| darkham | escott, i've proper installed the nvidia proprietary | 17:04 |
| Nik05 | yeats i think someone killed aa-status :P | 17:04 |
| James_Carter | i rather have one OS for whole HD | 17:04 |
| DeltaHeavy | James_Carter: The "partitioning" was done when you had all those options about "install Ubuntu alongside another OS", "Custom", "Delete everything and install Ubuntu". | 17:04 |
| Xotix | escott tried to rename hostname yes | 17:04 |
| Nik05 | But the system is still working, except for aa-status | 17:04 |
| escott | darkham, i avoid nvidia so i dont have much to say about it | 17:04 |
| DeltaHeavy | James_Carter: It'll be easy as pie then | 17:04 |
| James_Carter | oh ok... | 17:04 |
| yeats | Nik05: huh - so you're not the only admin of the server? | 17:04 |
| Nik05 | correct :p | 17:04 |
| James_Carter | ight thnx...if i need help ill let ya kno | 17:04 |
| escott | Xotix, well you did that wrong. /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname are probably out of sync. you will have to boot to recovery and fix that up | 17:04 |
| James_Carter | oh hoiw do i format a usb on ubuntu? | 17:04 |
| escott | !hostname | Xotix verify steps against | 17:04 |
| ubottu | Xotix verify steps against: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 17:04 |
| yeats | James_Carter: try using virtualbox to test other distros | 17:05 |
| === k0s is now known as qwm | ||
| Nik05 | yeats was asking around and well decided to kill it | 17:05 |
| James_Carter | i may...too much troubke tho lol | 17:05 |
| escott | Xotix, nevermind thought that would give a link rather than just say "check they match" | 17:05 |
| Nik05 | Now i need to find out why its hanging | 17:05 |
| yeats | Nik05: yeah - hopefully that debugging link will help | 17:05 |
| Alice_linux | Hello Genius, how do I clone my entire linux partition? | 17:05 |
| Xotix | escott thanks | 17:05 |
| escott | Alice_linux, clone for what purpose? | 17:06 |
| Alice_linux | back everything up including the apps | 17:06 |
| escott | Alice_linux, backup meaning? | 17:06 |
| darkham | escott, ok | 17:06 |
| escott | !clone | Alice_linux there is this | 17:06 |
| ubottu | Alice_linux there is this: 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 may cause problems with multiarch before 12.10) - See also !automate | 17:06 |
| Nik05 | yes thanks yeats | 17:06 |
| escott | Alice_linux, that doesn't get application configs which should be restricted to /etc and $HOME. if you have something like mysql it will put files in /var | 17:06 |
| Alice_linux | i have paid apps that is not from linux | 17:07 |
| Xotix | :q | 17:07 |
| Alice_linux | they are quite big | 17:07 |
| zykotick9 | Alice_linux: if you are using 64bit ubuntu, i'm not sure you should follow !clone | 17:07 |
| escott | Alice_linux, well where are they from? | 17:07 |
| waqs | hi all | 17:07 |
| waqs | managed to get ubuntu working on my chromebook 550 | 17:07 |
| Alice_linux | from IT guy | 17:07 |
| waqs | does anyone here have the same machine? | 17:07 |
| Alice_linux | so how to clone my entire linxu partition? | 17:07 |
| kanop | I've just updated my system and... unity and compiz crash, can't get either to work... help? | 17:08 |
| yeats | Alice_linux: look into clonezilla | 17:08 |
| escott | Alice_linux, then i would put IT guy in a box. punch some air holes you don't want IT guy to suffocate, feed and water daily | 17:08 |
| georges | Alice_linux: dowlod clonezilla and make a bootable CD- then you can boot to the CD and create images of any/all partitions or the entire disk if you preffer | 17:08 |
| waqs | everything works great except the trackpad its quite erratic, but I'm not sure who manufactured it | 17:08 |
| Nik05 | but yeats no denied logs in kern.log | 17:08 |
| Alice_linux | thank you | 17:08 |
| Nik05 | so still not sure why aa-status is hanging | 17:08 |
| yeats | Nik05: hmm | 17:08 |
| yeats | you might rule out external factors - hardware issues, etc. If you visit the server see if there are any console messages | 17:09 |
| simplew | i have 2 kernels installed, and to change bootsplash i did run "sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth" and "sudo update-initramfs -u" but i continue with the same bootsplash, alreadu did this 2 times, any hint? | 17:10 |
| Xotix | escott i included the old name into hosts. the msg isn't showing up now but this isn't a real fix is it? why do i have to add both names to hosts? | 17:10 |
| Nik05 | yeats tomorrow morning i will | 17:11 |
| Nik05 | dont have an access card for in the weekend :P | 17:11 |
| escott | Xotix, the old name shouldn't be needed in /etc/hosts, only the new name. unless some part of the system still thinks it has the old name | 17:11 |
| yeats | gotcha | 17:11 |
| escott | Xotix, without knowing what those files look like its hard to say what is wrong. if you want to pastebin.com them | 17:11 |
| yhusha | how to regenerate an initrd in a live enviroment | 17:12 |
| escott | yhusha, update-initramfs | 17:12 |
| escott | !chroot | yhusha | 17:12 |
| ubottu | yhusha: A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot | 17:12 |
| yhusha | apt-get update-initramfs? | 17:13 |
| yhusha | yes this is the task | 17:13 |
| ripthejacker | :) | 17:14 |
| escott | yhusha, update-initramfs is part of the base system. you just need to chroot into the installed system and run it | 17:15 |
| clarz | Hi all. Why my lxpanel settings (fast launcher) always reset after reloading? All my added apps are cleared? Lubuntu 12.04 | 17:15 |
| ripthejacker | :) | 17:15 |
| ripthejacker | hello | 17:15 |
| escott | ripthejacker, 501 HELO requires domain address | 17:16 |
| Nik05 | so see you tomorrow | 17:16 |
| Nik05 | oh and yeats would you reboot with this problem? | 17:16 |
| Nik05 | or could this make it worse? | 17:16 |
| ripthejacker | how to use drag and drop in ubuntu? | 17:17 |
| ripthejacker | 12.04? | 17:17 |
| emx | i installed ubuntu (the second time, not expert mode). when i boot up nouveau tells me about some fails and i can't do anything (no console to log in, no gui). why is it nouveau and not nvidia-drivers? what now? | 17:17 |
| escott | !details | ripthejacker | 17:17 |
| ubottu | ripthejacker: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 17:17 |
| escott | !nomodeset | emx | 17:17 |
| yhusha | this is how far along things are and it now requires regeneration of the initrd: http://pastebin.com/yj3xRK5U | 17:17 |
| ubottu | emx: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 17:17 |

| escott | yhusha, you clearly don't understand chroot | 17:18 |
| yhusha | following a tutorial | 17:18 |
| escott | yhusha, you don't want to do ANYTHING at all with the casper image | 17:19 |
| escott | yhusha, give me a moment to write the commands you need | 17:19 |
| ripthejacker | i have a problem with ubuntu window management, Im running ubuntu version 12.04 . When i try to use drag and drop which is a commmon feature in other OS , it doesn't happen | 17:19 |
| yhusha | ok | 17:19 |
| DarwinSurvivor | yhusha: when asking for help on a problem encountered while following a tutorial, please post a link to the tutorial. it can make a world of difference! | 17:19 |
| emx | escott, the grub boot screen is readable. i also see some openrc messages (starting mysql, starting apache...) and of course the fail messages. but i can't do anything. no login prompt, no ctrl-alt-del... | 17:20 |
| yhusha | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootToRAM | 17:20 |
| emx | now it worked | 17:20 |
| yhusha | skipped a few parts of it like the dist-upgrade | 17:20 |
| Xotix | escott of course. http://pastebin.com/ehtyV0p3 | 17:21 |
| ripthejacker | please help me im not able to use drag and drop in ubuntu 12.04 | 17:21 |
| georges | ripthejacker: what are you trying to drag-drop? from where to where? | 17:22 |
| escott | yhusha, http://pastebin.com/mHSswkjQ | 17:22 |
| emx | escott, it must be the graphics card driver. i see the boot splash screen and suddenly "GPU lockup - switching to software fbcon". can i choose a different gfx driver? | 17:23 |
| escott | Xotix, /etc/hosts is wrong. you CANNOT have two names for the same ip. the second should be 127.0.1.1 | 17:23 |
| emx | or boot into console... | 17:23 |
| emx | or rescue | 17:23 |
| ripthejacker | georges: from nautilus to gimp or from nautilus to any app | 17:23 |
| yhusha | so from there just continue with the tutorial? | 17:24 |
| escott | emx, probably easiest to boot to livecd, chroot in (see http://pastebin.com/mHSswkjQ or !chroot) and then install nvidia drivers | 17:24 |
| ashleyludlow | meow | 17:24 |
| escott | emx, if you can get to console at rescue that would also work | 17:24 |
| Xotix | escott oh, ups. thanks | 17:25 |
| DarwinSurvivor | escott: Xotix: you most certainly CAN have 2 hostnames for the same ip, just put them on 1 line | 17:25 |
| escott | yhusha, once you are properly chrooted you can do your update-initramfs as needed (and can omit any sudos since you are root) | 17:25 |
| escott | DarwinSurvivor, well you aren't supposed to in /etc/hosts. some applications do not like it | 17:25 |
| DarwinSurvivor | escott: most distros have 2 or 3 names tied to 127.0.0.1 by default (localhost & localhost.localdomain) | 17:26 |
| bipul | why ubuntu is monolitic kernel uses why not microkernel? | 17:27 |
| ashleyludlow | is lauhpad down right now? | 17:27 |
| escott | DarwinSurvivor, issue is http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=316099 | 17:27 |
| ubottu | Debian bug 316099 in netcfg "Please give system hostname IP address 127.0.1.1" [Normal,Fixed] | 17:27 |
| DarwinSurvivor | bipul: because it uses Linux which is a monolithic kernel | 17:27 |

| escott | bipul, because | 17:27 |
| bipul | Microkernels used by whom ? | 17:27 |
| nynex | I wonder can anyone help me with a usb hardrive problem? I seem to have somehow set it to be read only, how do I undo this? | 17:28 |

| Dougie187 | For any apport experts: Two questions. First) How do I force apport to generate a crash report for a program? Second) Does apport generate a crash report for every program? or only specific ones? | 17:29 |
| escott | nynex, can you pastebin.com the output of "mount" | 17:29 |
| escott | Dougie187, it won't generate a crash for a program that is not in apt. now sure how it knows which to generate for | 17:29 |

| bipul | escott, are you saying something to me | 17:30 |
| emx | escott, i managed to chroot to my last install. what do i need to do to remove nouveau (and any other gfx modules) and to install nvidia (and to have X configured) | 17:30 |
| escott | bipul, you asked a question. was giving the answer. "because" thats about it | 17:30 |
| bipul | oh ok | 17:30 |
| escott | emx, install nvidia-common maybe. i have no idea. buy an ATI card would be my recommendation | 17:31 |
| ripthejacker | please some please tell me how to drag and drop files across various apps | 17:31 |
| escott | ripthejacker, click and hold. drag. then release | 17:31 |
| ashleyludlow | anyone? i cant get launchpad.net to come up. i can get the login.launchpad.net, but i cant see my profile page or ..anything.. | 17:31 |
| DarwinSurvivor | escott: if you want to know why Linux is monolithic, ask in #linux. if you want to know why ubuntu uses Linux, ask in #ubuntu-offtopic as that is the channel for research questions | 17:31 |
| escott | DarwinSurvivor, bipul was asking | 17:32 |

| Hank__ | Printer issue help? When I print to a network printer using any browser (Firefox / Chrome tested) there is a several hour delay for printing. But printing from any other application works instantly (like normal). Any ideas? | 17:32 |
| nynex | sorry escott, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1405200/ | 17:33 |
| Hank__ | I've been Googling and searching forums like a madman. | 17:33 |
| escott | nynex, is it /media/THINGs or /media/WINDOWS that is the problem | 17:33 |
| nynex | media/things | 17:33 |
| nynex | it is a usb externall hdd. it seems to work under windows and only just stopped working, I wasn't changing any settings unless i pressed something by mistake. | 17:34 |
| kiwi940 | Does anyone here know the inner worings of the globalmenu? | 17:34 |
| escott | nynex, that should be ok for you. can you paste the following: "ls -l /media/THINGS; id; touch /media/THINGS/test" | 17:34 |
| MonkeyDust | !ask| kiwi940 | 17:35 |
| ubottu | kiwi940: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 17:35 |
| emx | where is aptitude? | 17:35 |
| DarwinSurvivor | nynex: if you type "id" in terminal, what uid does it say you are? | 17:35 |
| emx | (the binary, in the filesystem) | 17:35 |
| MonkeyDust | emx better use apt-get, not aptitude | 17:35 |
| emx | MonkeyDust, where is apt-get in the filesystem? | 17:35 |
| DarwinSurvivor | emx type "which aptitude" | 17:35 |
| escott | Hank__, perhaps the job isn't being flushed to the printer. in your browser go to http://localhost:631 and check the queue | 17:35 |
| nynex | escott, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1405206/ | 17:36 |
| Hank__ | escott: Copy. Checking. | 17:36 |
| ripthejacker | escott: but when i try to do that from one folder to another it doesn't work it just opens a new window of home folder | 17:36 |
| emx | DarwinSurvivor, not in the search paths | 17:36 |
| MonkeyDust | emx in /usr/bin | 17:36 |
| yhusha | so does this require starting from scratch | 17:36 |
| yhusha | the pastebin | 17:36 |
| MonkeyDust | emx type whereis apt-get | 17:37 |
| kiwi940 | Sorry. How would I go about making a globalmenu plugin in python? I have an xcb window ID. Where should I go from here? | 17:37 |
| nynex | DawnSurvivor, ben@alpha-1520:~$ id | 17:37 |
| DarwinSurvivor | nynex: "ls -l /media/" | 17:37 |
| nynex | uid=1000(ben) gid=1000(ben) groups=1000(ben),4(adm),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),46(plugdev),109(lpadmin),124(sambashare) | 17:37 |
| MonkeyDust | kiwi940 there's also #python | 17:37 |
| escott | nynex, guessing that it needs an fsck. try "udisks --unmount /media/THINGS; sudo fsck /dev/sdb1; udisks --mount /media/THINGS" | 17:37 |
| DarwinSurvivor | nynex: ok, id looks good. wanted to make sure it wasn't mounted by a different user | 17:38 |
| nynex | DawnSurvivor, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1405210/ | 17:38 |
| kiwi940 | MonkeyDust, I'll try there too. I thought somebody might know the api calls here. | 17:39 |
| nynex | escott, which option do i choose here? | 17:39 |
| nynex | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1405213/ | 17:39 |
| david_ | I just want to thank everyone for helping me get my xubuntu sound working | 17:39 |
| DarwinSurvivor | nynex: that looks good as well. if you haven't tried unmount and remounting, try that. otherwise go with escott's fsck command | 17:40 |
| emx | how do i query the package name for nvidia-driver? is there another program to query the package-db? | 17:40 |
| escott | nynex, cannot say for sure. there is corruption in the filesystem. changes you make in fsck will make it consistent but may delete files you might need | 17:40 |
| nynex | thanks, DawnSurvivor | 17:40 |
| nynex | escott, its nothing too important, minor annoyance if i lost the data tbh, nothing crucial in there | 17:41 |
| yhusha | root@yhusha-AOD260:/# mount --bind /dev /ubuntu/dev; | 17:41 |
| yhusha | mount: mount point /ubuntu/dev does not exist | 17:41 |
| nynex | which would you choose? | 17:41 |
| Hank__ | escott: When I browse the CUPS admin, under jobs, the job is still processing. Any ideas? | 17:41 |
| yhusha | ^^escot | 17:41 |
| DarwinSurvivor | nynex: it'a saying boot sector. if it's not a boot drive (doesn't have an operating system on it), that error should be inconsequencial | 17:42 |
| escott | nynex, for now 3. take backups of any important files on there, then just pick one. also make sure it got unmounted. it looks like it wasn't unmounted by the udisks command. you can eject it from nautilus | 17:42 |
| escott | yhusha, then /dev/sda1 was incorrect | 17:42 |
| yhusha | lets see root is sda6 and home is sda7 | 17:43 |
| emx | how do i start the network in rescue mode? | 17:43 |
| emx | wrong question | 17:43 |
| escott | yhusha, do you have any other ubuntu partitions? | 17:43 |
| emx | how do i enable name lookups? | 17:43 |
| Hank__ | escott: FYI - the job is < 700K. | 17:44 |
| escott | DarwinSurvivor, but thats just the first error there could be others | 17:44 |
| yhusha | no just seperate partitions for /boot, /, and for /home | 17:44 |
| escott | Hank__, that doesn't mean much. a small file can require a LOT of processing. postscript is itself a full programming language | 17:44 |
| escott | yhusha, so by "no" you actually mean "yes" | 17:44 |
| yhusha | ok | 17:44 |
| DarwinSurvivor | nynex: if you use gparted you should be able to check for error flags. linux mounts corrupted windows read-only to prevent further corruption | 17:44 |
| nynex | um, unmounting and then remounting seems to have fixed it. i can now copy files across. No idea how that happened, but thanks very much for all your help both of you | 17:45 |
| DarwinSurvivor | escott: very true | 17:45 |
| escott | yhusha, you need to "sudo umount /ubuntu; sudo mount /dev/sda6 /ubuntu; sudo mount /dev/sda# /ubuntu/boot" replacing # with the number for "/boot" | 17:45 |
| DarwinSurvivor | nynex: no problem. might want to check the flags in gparted and sun fsck just to be sure though | 17:45 |
| escott | yhusha, you can skip /home thats not needed for chroot | 17:46 |
| DarwinSurvivor | *run | 17:46 |
| Hank__ | escott: I hear ya on PS. I'm still unsure why its taking so long though because I can print a multipage document from any application other than a web browser and it will start printing immediately. | 17:46 |
| nynex | thanks :) i'll give that a whirl | 17:47 |

| DarwinSurvivor | Seeker: you mean wubi? | 17:58 |
| Seeker | yes | 17:58 |
| escott | Lynzabbel, depends on why it hangs. is it just a slow network? | 17:59 |
| Lynzabbel | it always stops at Get:18 | 17:59 |
| almoxarife | emx: do you mean 'how do i make changes?' because you are/should be using 'it' by default | 17:59 |
| Lynzabbel | Nope, my internet is fine | 17:59 |
| DarwinSurvivor | sorry, i've never used it, perhaps someone who has can help you | 17:59 |
| escott | stigarn, no. it is for people who want to build against zsh | 17:59 |

| emx | almoxarife, my ubuntu is booted by the rescue system (probably using chroot). it can't resolve domain names to ips. how do i make it resolve domain names? | 18:00 |

| popcorn_ | I installed the Adobe flash plugin and videos are working on Youtube. Sound is working too. However, videos on sites such as gorillavid do not play. The video shows loading and the video scroller goes gray as soon as I click play without the video ever loading - how it would show if the whole video would have played. Any idea how to fix this? | 18:01 |
| newroad | hallo everyone, anyone know why I might be having a problem where Borderlands always opens at 640 x 480, even if the resolution is set to 1920 x 1080 in the ini file? and if I try to manuall set the resolution in gme, the game crashes? I have a support thread on the POL forums where I posted my error logs: http://www.playonlinux.com/en/topic-9029.html | 18:01 |
| iceroot | robbie: put your nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf (it will be overwritten by the next boot) | 18:01 |
| yhusha | everythin done is on that tutorial | 18:01 |
| DarwinSurvivor | emx can you pastebin ifconfig; ip route; cat /etc/resolv.con | 18:01 |
| escott | yhusha, ok then nevermind | 18:01 |

| newroad | i see this in the logs: fixme:d3d:swapchain_init Add OpenGL context recreation support to context_validate_onscreen_formats | 18:02 |
| emx | DarwinSurvivor, it all boils down to /etc/resolv.conf but as someone said in 12.10 there is no resolv.conf | 18:02 |
| emx | i got an ip address | 18:02 |
| iceroot | emx: /etc/resolv.conf put thereyour nameserver (it will be overwritten by the next boot or hook via networkmanager) | 18:02 |
| emx | i got an ipv6 address, i have a broadcast ip, as subnet mask | 18:02 |
| emx | iceroot, it is a symlink to a directory that doesn't exist | 18:03 |

| popcorn_ | Looks like it's time to find another distribution, if such basic things have stopped working on Ubuntu. I should have never upgraded. | 18:04 |
| nynex | ive not used fsck before how do i run this just on /media/things | 18:04 |

| Xotix | Can someone explain me the benefit of a2ensite? Doesn't it just serve the default or next site if site x is disabled? | 18:16 |
| Lynzabbel | guys, whats does it mean if package has no install candidate? | 18:16 |
| mah454 | bekks: what is your idea ? | 18:16 |
| zykotick9 | Lynzabbel: it doesn't exist... | 18:16 |
| bekks | mah454: My odea is to not use webmin and to just use a reasonable editor and ssh to manage youe users. | 18:16 |
| Lynzabbel | can't be, this popped up as one of the dependencies when im trying to install java | 18:17 |
| SolarisBoy | Xotix: it allows you to easily switch the apache sites linked in sites-enabled | 18:17 |
| popcorn_ | iceroot: is it playing for you? | 18:17 |
| DarwinSurvivor | back | 18:17 |
| emjayess | hi. i haz a inquiry | 18:18 |
| Lynzabbel | something might be wrong with my sources? | 18:18 |
| DarwinSurvivor | nynex: yu hit 3 and got the same codes? | 18:18 |
| nynex | yeah | 18:18 |
| bekks | Lynzabbel: Please provide the exact approach on how you are installing java, as well as the complete, exact output you get? | 18:19 |
| DarwinSurvivor | !aks | emjayess | 18:19 |
| Xotix | SolarisBoy i don't get it. If i disabel a site, it just serves me the default page. How can i add an "Sry, thsi site is under construction blabla" page? Or what's the prpose of the whole thing? | 18:19 |
| NetGhost3 | Do swap files get fragmented? | 18:19 |
| escott | Hank__, it probably has something to do with how the file needs to be pre-processed for the network printer | 18:19 |
| MacroMan | Hi. Just installed Ubuntu 10.04 (I'm on an EEPC, so speed is an issue). I can't connect to any wireless networks (Was fine with Windows). Can see them, try and connect, enter WPA key, but keeps asking for it again. Tried on 3 networks now. | 18:19 |
| emjayess | on one of our web servers, two ppa's have been added? ppa:nginx/stable and ppa:nginx/development. the currently installed version is 1.3.2. I expect apt-get update && apt-get install nginx to update version to latest dev, 1.3.9 | 18:19 |
| SolarisBoy | Xotix: there are many ways to add a maintenance page | 18:19 |
| escott | NetGhost3, they are just pages... its not particularly applicable | 18:19 |
| emjayess | but it doesn't, it stays at 1.3.2 | 18:19 |
| nynex | DarwinSurvivor: Am i doing something wrong? | 18:20 |
| DarwinSurvivor | emjayess: you'll need to contact the owner of the ppas | 18:20 |
| SolarisBoy | Xotix: you could simply redirect the request for said page to a nice maintenance.html page | 18:20 |
| DarwinSurvivor | nynex: no, just hdd corruption | 18:20 |
| emjayess | DarwinSurvivor: ok | 18:20 |
| Hank__ | escott: I hear ya. But I'm not sure where to go from here to get network printing working in a timely fashion. I've setup Ubuntu networks and printers before without issue. And this printer still works immediately with Windows systems. Any idea where to go next for getting it to print in a timely fashion? | 18:20 |
| escott | Hank__, is there a different driver you can use for that network printer | 18:21 |
| emjayess | related: I tried removing ppa:nginx/stable via add-apt-repository -r | 18:21 |
| emjayess | but still see it in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 18:21 |
| DarwinSurvivor | i *highly* recommend backing up data and reformating the partition. also run smartctl to check for failing hardware | 18:21 |
| escott | !info ppa-purge | emjayess | 18:21 |
| ubottu | emjayess: ppa-purge (source: ppa-purge): disables a PPA and reverts to official packages. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.8+bzr56 (quantal), package size 4 kB, installed size 56 kB | 18:21 |
| nynex | DarwinSurvivor: Do I keep running fsck? | 18:21 |
| DarwinSurvivor | nynex: gsmartctl is a nice gui version that is very easy to use | 18:21 |
| Lynzabbel | bekks: pastebin.com/TJb6kTaC | 18:21 |
| Xotix | SolarisBoy and how can i configure such a site for aspeficic site? Otherwise, the enabling and disable is useless or i don't see the point of it. | 18:22 |
| Hank__ | escott: I use the Foomatic/pxlmono for Panasonic. I've tried the PCL5 and PS drivers and they've failed to print anything coherent. | 18:22 |
| Lynzabbel | this is what i typed in and the output | 18:22 |
| emjayess | escott: thank you | 18:22 |
| DarwinSurvivor | nynex: no, making any changes could cause data loss. with corruption, best to backup and nuke | 18:22 |
| escott | DarwinSurvivor, its also in gnome-disks which is a standard instlal program | 18:22 |
| nynex | ok thanks | 18:22 |
| SolarisBoy | Xotix: its not useless | 18:22 |
| nynex | ahh I dont have anything big enough to back up on..... | 18:23 |
| DarwinSurvivor | nynex: what escott said, i was unaware it was preinstalled | 18:23 |
| nynex | this is the back up of anything | 18:23 |
| bekks | Lynzabbel: I dont see anything about installing java there. | 18:23 |
| escott | Hank__, you can try other things like flattening the pdf | 18:23 |
| SolarisBoy | Xotix: you can use a redirect to point a request for a certain page to a maintenance page | 18:23 |
| escott | nynex, gnome-disks if you missed it | 18:23 |
| Lynzabbel | bekks: sorry, as it seems, anything i try to install give the same error | 18:23 |
| nynex | escott; thanks | 18:24 |
| SubaStank | For Xchat ubuntu, how would I put in a custom IRC channel? | 18:24 |
| Xotix | SolarisBoy i know but i'm wondering myself about the purpose of that enabling disabling thing which ubuntu implemented. When do i use it and for what? | 18:24 |
| escott | Hank__, there might be a cups channel which may have better ideas | 18:24 |
| DarwinSurvivor | SolarisBoy: look up apache "Alias" option | 18:24 |
| SolarisBoy | Xotix: if you had multiple sites or if you were in a situtation where you needed to enable sites in sites-available constantly | 18:24 |
| SolarisBoy | DarwinSurvivor: it allows the server to respond to a different name | 18:25 |
| bekks | Lynzabbel: It gives several different errors, as you can see. | 18:25 |
| emx | how do i move the buttons to the right side? this doesn't seem to work: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/13535/move-window-buttons-back-to-the-right-in-ubuntu-10.04/ | 18:25 |
| Lynzabbel | sergico: two main ones i suppose? | 18:25 |
| Hank__ | Escott: I'll check the CUPS channel. Thank you very much for the help. | 18:25 |
| sirmy | hi guys! what is the right way to disable permanently a service? | 18:25 |
| SolarisBoy | but he wants the server to go to a maintenance page that says something like "sites not up" which i dont think the alias will help with | 18:26 |
| SolarisBoy | a redirect will though | 18:26 |
| DarwinSurvivor | SolarisBoy: no, alias does server-side uri redirection (the part after the hostname and port) | 18:26 |
| bekks | Lynzabbel: Could you pastebin the output of "lsb_release -a" and "uname -a" please? | 18:26 |
| Lynzabbel | bekks: ok will do that | 18:26 |
| escott | sirmy, it depends on if it is an old style sysvinit or an upstart service | 18:26 |
| SolarisBoy | DarwinSurvivor: so what should he make the alias? | 18:26 |
| Xotix | SolarisBoy thanks but i still don't get it's purpose at all. I'm used to, if the vhost fiels exists, the site exists like defined. | 18:26 |
| Xotix | ls | 18:26 |
| escott | sirmy, http://askubuntu.com/questions/19320/whats-the-recommended-way-to-enable-disable-services | 18:27 |
| DarwinSurvivor | SolarisBoy: have it alias to the 404 page. exact syntax depends on the language/framework thee site uses | 18:27 |
| SolarisBoy | Xotix: in which case yes it would not be useful for you if you dont use the linking system i guess | 18:27 |
| Lynzabbel | lsb_release -a: command not found | 18:27 |
| SolarisBoy | DarwinSurvivor: cool | 18:27 |
| DarwinSurvivor | SolarisBoy: some frameworks have "down for maintenance" support built in | 18:27 |
| bekks | Lynzabbel: What about "cat /etc/*release*" ? | 18:27 |
| SolarisBoy | in practice i have used redirects | 18:28 |
| Xotix | SolarisBoy can you point me to the doc of this linking system please? | 18:28 |
| SolarisBoy | i guess thats possible though | 18:28 |
| SolarisBoy | DarwinSurvivor: you know what your right | 18:28 |
| SolarisBoy | i was thinking about the name alias for some reason | 18:28 |
| SolarisBoy | Xotix: man a2ensite? | 18:29 |
| === ericab is now known as ericab_away | ||

| DarwinSurvivor | SolarisBoy: ah yes, 2 very different beasts with similar names :P | 18:29 |

| SolarisBoy | i always forget you can alias in that fashion | 18:30 |
| Xotix | SolarisBoy already read it. I don't get the that. Anyway, thanks | 18:30 |
| sirmy | escott: yeah, i already read it... but isn't there no way to disable permanently a service without have to modify files by hand? | 18:30 |
| sirmy | escot: something like "service NAME disable" | 18:31 |
| DarwinSurvivor | sirmy: define "permanently". i.e. you could uninstall it.... | 18:31 |
| Lynzabbel | bekks: cat /etc/*release*gives No such file or directory | 18:31 |
| sirmy | DarweinSurvivor: no, i don't want to uninstall it. i want it in my system, but i want it doesn't start during boot | 18:32 |
| bekks | Lynzabbel: I strongly doubt thats a Ubuntu then. | 18:32 |
| escott | sirmy, no and we can't use systemd because poettering is a jerk | 18:32 |
| Lynzabbel | bekks: sorry, for the first command, i didnt put in a space before the "-a" | 18:32 |
| nynex | is the only solution to format the drive? | 18:33 |
| Lynzabbel | added and now it shows Distributor ID: Ubuntu, Description: Ubuntu 12.10, Release: 12.10, Codename: quantal | 18:33 |
| sirmy | escott: yeah, i tried some time ago systemd on archlinux... does it work well on ubuntu? | 18:33 |
| Lynzabbel | i suspect its something wrong with my software sources... | 18:34 |
| escott | sirmy, it sure looks nice. i really wish we would switch. i've only used it a little though. | 18:34 |
| bekks | Lynzabbel: Then provide the output of "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade" please. | 18:34 |
| PlaHPoy | quick question, my bash seems to be screwed up and i've tried copying over from ..skel/ & from /etc. Still seems to have the same issue. Output looks like http://pastebin.com/YYZhNDHc | 18:34 |
| bekks | Lynzabbel: And when pasting an URL, dont forget the "http://" in front. :) | 18:35 |
| PlaHPoy | i have to run everything with full path. I've checked the $PATH and it seem fine too | 18:35 |
| sirmy | escott: i see... the way you have to disable service with upstart i think it's not very "clean" | 18:36 |
| escott | sirmy, i probably shouldn't be that negative towards upstart. the config files are easy enough... i just dont understand why they haven't completed the switch over from sysv | 18:36 |
| escott | sirmy, all you do is rename a file thats not particularly unclean... its just that you have to check if the job is upstart or sysv and there are different ways to query the two | 18:37 |
| Lynzabbel | bekks: noted... will do once it completes | 18:37 |

| plague | escott ok | 18:41 |
| sirmy | escott: no, indeed it's not so unclean and/or hard, but i think that if you have a central program which does all the works it is much better. they have initctl, service, etc and it would be very easy to add that feature | 18:42 |

| ojii | ActionParsnip, IIRC I installed that driver when installing steam, I think steam asked me to install that driver somehow | 19:24 |
| ojii | ActionParsnip, but again, I had it with 295 and 304 too | 19:24 |
| ActionParsnip | ojii: can you pastebin the output of: apt-cache policy `dpkg -l | grep nvidia | grep 304 | awk {'print $2'}` | 19:25 |
| ojii | ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1405493/ | 19:26 |
| jamamp | TimoKA, I think what you need to do is install your linux on the cd, not just burn the iso you download. Wubi might be able to do this, im not too sure. Or in the livecd you can try installing to another cd if you hav the drive | 19:26 |
| jamamp | TimoKA, or from the livecd you can install to a large usb flash drive, which will be faster than a cd | 19:27 |
| TimoKA | jamamp: i'm using a live system on a usb stick | 19:27 |
| adoet_t_ | Wubi is good | 19:28 |
| TimoKA | just the screen "Try Ubuntu - Install Ubuntu" is annoying, i want to remove it | 19:28 |
| === frank___1 is now known as nalta | ||
| k1l | adoet_t: if you stay here and support all the wubi broken windows and ubuntu installs. ok | 19:29 |
| jamamp | TimoKA, so what you need to do is burn the livecd. boot into the livecd. go through the installation process and have it install on you usb stick. Let me find a link for that | 19:29 |
| TimoKA | jamamp: you get mewrong+ | 19:29 |

| TimoKA | i want to remove that, if possible | 19:31 |
| k1l | TimoKA: i gave you the hint for what you are looking for | 19:32 |
| jamamp | TimoKA, ah, then I do not know. You'd have to edit the files in the iso. I don't know how to do that, and I know the bot on here has one of those things | 19:32 |

| maxwellwood | uhm | 20:23 |
| maxwellwood | ok | 20:23 |
| votick_ | Start a project, and learn what you need to complete it @VER | 20:23 |
| votick_ | That's my approach :) | 20:23 |
| escott | maxwellwood, ask | 20:23 |
| maxwellwood | i tried to install ubuntu as a dual boot with windows xp | 20:23 |
| VER | what kind of project? | 20:23 |
| maxwellwood | and i got an error | 20:23 |
| wolowitz | Portuges Alguem ? | 20:23 |
| === debian is now known as deb-te | ||
| votick_ | Not sure, what's your level of experience in C? | 20:23 |
| escott | maxwellwood, and the error was... | 20:23 |
| maxwellwood | it said ntldr is missing please press ctrl+alt+dlt to reboot | 20:23 |
| votick_ | Or programming overal that is. | 20:23 |
| BluesKaj | quante, have you tried firefox , or chromium-browser and not google-chrome ? | 20:23 |

| maxwellwood | and i am not sure why, i tried reinstalling... | 20:23 |

| votick_ | Alright, well perhaps start with a simple console game? | 20:24 |
| escott | maxwellwood, thats a problem with windows | 20:24 |
| maxwellwood | :L | 20:24 |
| maxwellwood | what would i do then? | 20:24 |
| === captain_ is now known as captainfixerpc14 | ||
| votick_ | I began with a guessing game as my first program, in which you pick a number between 1-100 and it slowely guesses it. | 20:24 |
| escott | maxwellwood, how were you trying to install ubuntu? | 20:24 |
| maxwellwood | i have tried through usb | 20:24 |
| maxwellwood | and through windows | 20:24 |
| VER | I should try that. . . | 20:24 |
| escott | votick_, projecteuler has a number of good easy starter problems | 20:24 |
| maxwellwood | i am currently putting the installer on a cd... | 20:24 |
| maxwellwood | figured i would try that | 20:25 |
| votick_ | is that a site, escott? | 20:25 |
| escott | votick_, yes | 20:25 |
| VER | noted, escott | 20:25 |
| votick_ | Same here, thanks. | 20:25 |
| quante | BluesKaj, I will try that now. | 20:25 |
| vaikus84 | maxwellwood, install only restricted driver - post-release update! | 20:25 |
| vaikus84 | Reboot! | 20:25 |
| votick_ | I'm not very advanced with C either, but I just randomly found something I wanted to make, and learned C in order to do it. | 20:25 |
| escott | votick_, VER sorry got the V-names confused as to who was asking | 20:26 |
| votick_ | I noticed that if you just study hard for a project, and THEN go make something, it won't work as well (in my case). I rather get a task, and then begin throwing attempts at completing it. | 20:26 |
| maxwellwood | what is that vaikus :P | 20:26 |
| vaikus84 | no need for installing anything else | 20:26 |
| votick_ | I was somewhat asking too, lol, just not out loud. | 20:26 |
| maxwellwood | im not very good at this xD | 20:26 |
| vaikus84 | it means silence | 20:26 |
| maxwellwood | what is this restricted driver? | 20:26 |
| votick_ | @VER, if you need any tips ref with C, i'm in the irc #globeofgeek. Currently trying to workg with linux, but you can reach me in there if needed. | 20:27 |
| VER | not sure what that is | 20:27 |
| VER | i just installed irssi | 20:27 |
| davehimself | anyone running current nvidia drivers? | 20:28 |
| escott | maxwellwood, the trying three different ways of installing ubuntu is just making things more confusing. if the usb install worked why would you try the cd? | 20:29 |
| escott | maxwellwood, and wubi is a completely different animal | 20:29 |
| maxwellwood | because it didnt work... | 20:29 |
| maxwellwood | and what do you mean its diferent? | 20:29 |
| quante | BluesKaj: thanks! Chromium works! :) | 20:29 |
| maxwellwood | ok can someone just pm me this is getting confusing :P | 20:30 |

| robertzaccour | Can Ubuntu be installed on a Microsoft Surface and does it run well? | 20:31 |
| escott | maxwellwood, wubi installs ubuntu inside windows. it doesnt use a partition. in what way did the usb install not work | 20:32 |
| maxwellwood | the usb install... same thing o.o | 20:32 |
| maxwellwood | talk in pm? | 20:32 |
| BluesKaj | robertzaccour microsoft surface ? | 20:33 |

| ActionParsnip | robertzaccour: its an ARM CPU, so technically, yes | 20:33 |
| maxwellwood | ok :P | 20:33 |
| maxwellwood | as far as i knew wubi was the only way | 20:34 |
| maxwellwood | so i installed it USING wubi ONTO the usb stick... | 20:34 |
| maxwellwood | and then booted from usb | 20:34 |
| === SierraAR is now known as Sierr[a]AR | ||

| maxwellwood | the other thing is, when i used wubi i installed it onto a blank hard drive the first time and got the error when booting from that too. | 20:35 |
| maxwellwood | it wasnt on the same harddrive as windows. | 20:35 |
| rick_ | ehm hello? | 20:35 |
| j0bi | is there in ubuntu email extractor??? | 20:36 |

| maxwellwood | please could someone help me? | 20:39 |
| ActionParsnip | j0bi: is the url from gmail or something? | 20:39 |
| BluesKaj | robertzaccour, I feel like getting left behind in the dust ..here I am still using a 5yr old desktop pc and I still use a flip cellphone :) | 20:40 |

| j0bi | ActionParsnip: i mean extract mail eg.(test@yourname.com, mine@yours.com etc....) from a url | 20:42 |
| ActionParsnip | nomoa: ALT+number runs the app under than letter, hold ALT and watch the unity lancher | 20:42 |
| ActionParsnip | j0bi: there is a world of difference between extracting emails and extracting email ADDRESSES. | 20:43 |
| j0bi | yep sorry | 20:43 |

| j0bi | :) | 20:43 |

| Doug_ | I am having trouble loading Ubuntu ver 12.10 onto an older laptop harddrive. I have removed the harddrive and and trying to load Ubuntu from a DVD from the download on a windows 7 machine. Th target harddrive is 30 gig and is now set for FAT32 file system. The harddrive has a single partition that I created. I am trying to load from the menu option something else which allows sme to select the drive to install to. Any ideas? | 20:47 |
| zykotick9 | Doug_: are you booting from the DVD to install, or you are trying to install from inside windows? | 20:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Doug_: unpartition the intended drive and you will easily be able to identify the device. | 20:49 |
| Jordan_U | Doug_: What menu are you seeing? | 20:49 |
| Doug_ | I am booting from the DVD and then trying to install. | 20:49 |
| === cmt-away is now known as cmt | ||
| usr13 | Doug_: #1) You'll need to re-partition it. #2) It should be in the divice that will actually boot it. .....??? | 20:50 |
| Doug_ | I can identify the device. I also get the error "No root file system". | 20:50 |
| usr13 | Doug_: It says "No root file system" because you have not created a partition and designated it fir the root file system. | 20:51 |
| Doug_ | The partition encompasses the whole drive and is selected as the primary partition. | 20:52 |
| usr13 | Doug_: Is there a reason you do not install from the actual device it goes in? | 20:52 |
| === Youri is now known as YBook | ||
| usr13 | Doug_: Are you doing a wubi install? | 20:52 |
| Doug_ | yes the DVD drive does not work. | 20:52 |
| usr13 | Doug_: USB....? | 20:52 |
| Doug_ | The laptop is old and does not have the option to boot from usb port. | 20:53 |
| gordonjcp | Doug_: don't install it on the laptop then | 20:53 |
| gordonjcp | Doug_: put the drive in something that does boot from USB, and install on that | 20:53 |
| Jordan_U | Doug_: Avoid Wubi, especially if you are trying to install to a different partition than 'C:'/ | 20:54 |
| Doug_ | I have the laptop harddrive as an addition external drive on a windows 7 machine. | 20:54 |
| vtec_ | !java | 20:54 |
| ubottu | To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 20:54 |
| Jordan_U | Doug_: Can you boot that other machine from DVD/USB? | 20:55 |
| usr13 | Doug_: Will it boot to a USB device? If so, see: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows | 20:55 |
| Doug_ | I can not boot the laptop from the bad DVD drive or from the use ports | 20:55 |
| === SierraAR is now known as Sierr[a]AR | ||
| Jordan_U | Doug_: We're not currently asking about the laptop. We're asking if you can boot this other mentioned machine from DVD/USB. | 20:56 |
| Doug_ | Yes I can. | 20:56 |
| usr13 | Doug_: Change out the drives, install ubuntu, take the drive out, put your dad's drive back in, put yours in your laptop. | 20:56 |
| Jordan_U | Doug_: Then boot from an Ubuntu DVD/USB and install normally to the external drive (do *not* use Wubi). Then put this drive you've installed to into the laptop. | 20:57 |
| Doug_ | That may work by putting the laptop harddrive into another laptop and then installing. Thanks will give it a try. | 20:57 |
| usr13 | Jordan_U: If he installs on the drive while it's plugged in as an external drive, the fstab file will need to be changed, as well as grub. It's duable but would be complicated. | 20:59 |
| usr13 | He's gone... | 21:00 |
| Jordan_U | usr13: No, that's not true at all. Both grub and the fstab use UUIDs, which won't change. | 21:00 |
| usr13 | I think we gave him enough information though. | 21:00 |
| usr13 | Jordan_U: Hummm.... well yea that's right. Ok. Well either way I guess. (Thanks for pointing that out.) | 21:00 |
| usr13 | Still though, It would be much safer for him to change out the drives. (That way, he won't format wrong drive and won't write grub to wrong drive.) | 21:01 |

| Ray2 | gunbert..I have been to xchat channel and several folks have walked me through the set up then suggested it was ubuntu problem ??? | 21:32 |
| guntbert_ | Ray2: I am very certain that it is not (as it works on the CLI for you) - but I may be wrong - haven't used xchat for a long time now | 21:34 |

| Ray2 | guntbert..zykotick9..Okay thanks...for the help | 21:37 |
| guntbert_ | Ray2: that thing (without tabs) is impractical in my memory - switch it off, maybe it helps, or else try (after closing xchat) renaming the .xchat/xchat.conf, you might have misconfigured something | 21:38 |

| Catbuntu | Hi | 22:57 |
| jrib | RedTheJackal: again: because it is no longer supported. i.e. you are not getting security updates. | 22:57 |
| k1l | RedTheJackal: because its not supported anymore. thats it. you can use what you want but dont ask for support in here. | 22:57 |
| IdleOne | RedTheJackal: Going to ask you to stop with the complaining. I understand you are frustrated and I understand why you don't like the Unity desktop (you have other options). This channel is for actual support, you have been given that support. it does not give you the right to monopolize the channel with your opinions. | 22:57 |

| davf | Every thread I'm reading about fixing my problem with the ntoskrnl.exe problem I'm having is recommended to go back to Grub and avoid grub 2 | 23:04 |

| Shirakawasuna | davf: I dual-booted using grub2 + xp and didn't have that problem, but it could still solve yours | 23:06 |
| escott | SierraAR, your best bet is to apt-get install ntfs-3g and use an ntfs partition | 23:06 |
| Shirakawasuna | SierraAR: yes | 23:06 |

Sadly, an existing png-export-bug still existed in 2.8, including lots of broken hotkey settings etc. So I wanted to switch back to gimp 2.6. I used apt-get remove gimp to uninstall it, removed the .list files from /etc/apt/sources.list.d and did an apt-get update. | 23:06 |
| davf | hmm... | 23:06 |
| zykotick9 | !ppa-purge | spm_Draget | 23:07 |

| SierraAR | escott, k. It's already installed it seems. Should I use gparted or something else to handle the partitions? (I created the two partitions for win/ubuntu via the ubuntu installation process) | 23:08 |
| escott | SierraAR, gparted is a good tool | 23:09 |
| spm_Draget | zykotick9: ppa-purge does not work since it removed the .list files, it does not find the ppa anymore. | 23:10 |
| spm_Draget | escott: http://dpaste.com/840319 | 23:10 |
| escott | davf, hmmm. you can switch back to grub1 and maybe that would help. (apt-get remove grub-pc; apt-get install grub-legacy) | 23:10 |
| SierraAR | escott, alright, thanks. I'll see if this works out. Will there be any problems with me taking some space off my ubuntu partition for this new partition while I'm running ubuntu? | 23:11 |
| spm_Draget | I do not understand why after removing the repository and doing apt-update apt still knows anything about 2.8 | 23:11 |
| davf | ok, | 23:11 |
| escott | davf, but this is mostly a windows problem... so i dont really know why windows is unhappy | 23:11 |
| zykotick9 | spm_Draget: i'd readd the ppa then... | 23:11 |
| escott | SierraAR, yes you have to do it from the livecd | 23:11 |
| davf | escott. not a windows problem. def grub2. I can go into windows recover - fixboot - fixmbr > windows boots fine. | 23:12 |
| SierraAR | I shall be back soon then, hopefully with successful news. | 23:12 |
| escott | davf, its a windows problem to the extent that windows is being handed the boot and then cant figure out how to put its pants on and get out the door. i basically never boot windows so im not the person to ask | 23:13 |
| spm_Draget | Okay, I followed zykotick9 idea and added the repository again and then used ppa-purge, seems to have solved the issue | 23:13 |
| === SierraAR is now known as Sierr[a]AR | ||
| davf | escott - grub-legacy isn't in the packages | 23:15 |
| escott | davf, hmmm there is in my dpkg -l. maybe try just plain "grub" a lot of these are aliases for each other... seems somebody was unsure what to call the different versions given that there are now 3 different ones | 23:16 |
| jesusemelendezm | can I manage windows machines with ubuntu landscape? | 23:17 |
| escott | jesusemelendezm, what is "landscape" | 23:17 |
| davf | grub was it | 23:17 |
| zykotick9 | escott: canonicals network management software | 23:17 |
| escott | zykotick9, til. thanks | 23:18 |
| davf | escott - do grub not detect windows? | 23:19 |
| escott | davf, its been ages since ive seen a grub1 system. it should have some facility for checking for other oses and building menu.cfg. i think that facility is the same "update-grub" but i dont know | 23:19 |
| acidflash | sure it does | 23:20 |
| acidflash | sometimes its an issue of it not presenting it properly though | 23:20 |
| acidflash | or running a special type of grub detect | 23:20 |
| acidflash | man grub | 23:20 |
| * angelpossum needs a hug from someone | 23:21 | |

| jarco | hello people, I am following this guide on installing smac on ubuntu http://www.personal.psu.edu/emw5051/smac.html. (i use 12.10) i installed it and it works but the sound is not working. The tutorial sais to install ossp (point 3) but that doesn't exist in ubuntu. And the guide is incorrect (url is not valid). Are there other ways to get sound? | 23:23 |
| Grant_P | Hello All, I've ran out of disk space on ssd. Can see both encryptfs and /home/dir exist? Seems to be duplicating the data, is this normal? | 23:27 |
| wrd | jarco: do you also have the windows version? it seems people run the windows version via wine just fine. | 23:29 |
| SierraAR_Web | escott: Still around? | 23:30 |
| jarco | wrd I could get it I assume | 23:30 |
| jarco | I ll try that one | 23:31 |
| wrd | jarco: they have sound issues though. (seems to be some 22khz problem with pulseaudio). | 23:31 |
| wrd | jarco: see http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=332 | 23:32 |
| jarco | I ll try it. If it doesn't work i ll try to get the linux version running | 23:32 |
| jarco | thanks for the suggestion | 23:33 |
| SierraAR_Web | Ok so I'm running off a livecd atm, attempting to use gparted to take 25GB off of my windows 7 and ubuntu partitions to create a 50GB ntfs partition that both installs can share | 23:33 |
| SierraAR_Web | http://imageshack.us/a/img831/6494/screenshotfrom201212022.png | 23:34 |
| SierraAR_Web | I've gotten that far, but I'm uncertain how to proceed with creating the 50GB partition from there | 23:34 |
| angelpossum | hey do you know a place where i can role play emote | 23:36 |
| SierraAR_Web | angelpossum: I don't know of any roleplaying channels on freenode, but there is a roleplaying network - irc.darkmyst.org | 23:37 |
| angelpossum | uh not that kind the kind like this | 23:38 |
| * angelpossum hugs SierraAR_Web | 23:39 | |
| escott | SierraAR_Web, yes | 23:53 |
| escott | SierraAR_Web, in and out cooking | 23:53 |
| escott | SierraAR_Web, thats a little awkward those regions need to be contiguous to be useful | 23:54 |
| escott | SierraAR_Web, and moving a partition forward is very very slow | 23:54 |
| escott | SierraAR_Web, in your case even doubly so because you have that extended partition. and the two little partitions sda5, sda6 in between | 23:55 |
| escott | SierraAR_Web, i would just take the 100GB from sda7 and forget about trying to borrow from sda2 | 23:56 |
| escott | SierraAR_Web, anyways food on the stove. need to head downstairs. if you havent hit the check mark in gparted i would close out of it without commiting the pending changes and just take all the space you need from sda7 | 23:58 |
| SierraAR_Web | escott: Alright, so something like http://imageshack.us/a/img820/6494/screenshotfrom201212022.png | 23:58 |
| SierraAR_Web | Sorry for the delay in responding, I found and was reading a gparted tutoiral | 23:58 |
| escott | SierraAR_Web, yes | 23:58 |
| SierraAR_Web | tutorial* | 23:58 |
| SierraAR_Web | escott: thanks | 23:58 |
| escott | SierraAR_Web, you also ended up with a little sda8 there. not sure what that is for | 23:59 |
| SierraAR_Web | I'm not sure myself. That was already there when I launched gparted | 23:59 |
| escott | SierraAR_Web, yea its in both. odd | 23:59 |
