escottablyss, if you are dumping a big raster image encapsulated in some kind of postscript... then unpacking that and getting back to a printable form could tax the cpu of the printer00:10

blackshirtemx, what user you mean ?00:10
escottablyss, if it were a dumb inkjet then you are basically just sending it the raster in a ready to print form so those kinds of slowdowns dont occur00:10

sam_nazarkoAll I want to do escott is allow nat really, drop everything else01:38

escottsam_nazarko, if all you want is to NAT eth1 then do that. don't touch eth001:38
sam_nazarkowhat i mean escott is eth1 network available to nat connected by eth001:39
=== pug is now known as Guest62626
escottsam_nazarko, yes understood. remove every rule that says anything about eth0 or lo except the forward, and turn the initial set of drops into eth1 specific rules01:39
escottsam_nazarko, in fact the original drop is not actually necessary for NAT01:40
sam_nazarkook sounds like a plan01:40

abdostarescott: I had this in my mind, and was hoping someone would point this out, thank you. what if I just want to do this for some specific folders?02:56
heoyeaabdostar: that fine as long as u make a new user then is ok02:56
heoyeaabdostar: then just symlink ur common folders like Videos, Music ..etc02:57
escottabdostar, some ways you could get around that would be to have multiple homes and /home/abdostar-mint and /home/abdostar-ubuntu with symlinks to the folders inside $HOME02:57

escottabdostar, what are the permissions on the folders?03:00
abdostarescott: I honestly don't know how to check the permission of a folder03:01
heoyeaabdostar: is that ur data parition or is gonna be ur home folder?03:01
abdostarheoyea: yes, that's the plan03:02
heoyeaabdostar: if is gonna be ur home folder, at the installer partition part, just assign it as /home03:02

yhushaanything on why a toram session isn't performing so quik03:56
escottyhusha, what is toram03:56
escottwaynr, i think there is a deb bootstrap variant for ubuntu03:57
heoyea1st time i see some1 got excited to install IE803:57
yhushawhere the squashfs is loaded to ram and the whole system runs from ram not hdd the way things are configured here there is still persistant storage on hdd03:58
escottyhusha, and why should that be faster?03:58
yhushabecause ram is far faster than hdd03:58
escottyhusha, only relevant when you are reading from disk03:59
RJ45-Qboth of my problems cured themselves (to an extent) on 3rd reboot, nice, now the question is, why did this problem occur and will it happen again...03:59
zykotick9escott: waynr debootstrap03:59
escottRJ45-Q, since you never installed glxinfo i cant say04:00
RJ45-Qescott: a HDD iIS way faster than RAM!, the average HDD spins at around 5400RPM to 7200RPM!, where the average RAM just sits there :P04:01
RJ45-QIS*04:01
RJ45-Qlol04:01
yhushaalso tryna figure out why theres no swappiness setting in the systcl.config file yet there is swap04:01
yhushaconf*04:02
RJ45-QMAAAAAD: are you MAD?04:02
escottyhusha, sysctl.config doesn't have all entries that could be set. just the major ones. you can access others through the /sys filesystem04:03
brady2600what is the command for opening the terminal in ubuntu?04:04
zykotick9brady2600: gnome-terminal or xterm or ...04:04
escottbrady2600, there are many: gnome-terminal, xterm, rxvt (if installed) etc04:04
heoyeabrady2600: gnome-terminal &04:04
ejoCtrl-alt-T works for Unity04:04
escottheoyea, the & would only be relevant if he were at a terminal... a little chicken and egg there04:04
brady2600my wife has managed to do something to her ubuntu box , the boarders of her windows are gone.. you cant open or close them , and unity has dissappoeared04:04
escottbrady2600, the compositor is broken. something with graphics drivers. nvidia, amd or intel?04:05
heoyeaescott: oh though he was launching a gui from a terminal04:05
brady2600yes she says she installed something for invidia04:05
crimsonmanebrady2600: that used to happen to me when i tried doing "alt space n" to minimize. i had to re-apply Window Decorations04:05
crimsonmanebut it was a compiz thing04:06
brady2600i know that compiz is crashing too04:06
brady2600is there some way i can disable compiz via the terminal04:06
heoyeabrady2600: ull kill the whole desktop if u do04:06
zykotick9brady2600: Unity is a compiz plugin... so if that's the DE you use - probably not.04:07
mnsis there a way to use gnome shell instead of unity with ubuntu 12.04 ?04:08
zykotick9!notunity | mns04:08
ubottumns: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default.  To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool".  For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic04:08
escottbrady2600, that would do it. check /var/log/dpkg.log to figure out what she installed04:08
brady2600hummm.  the problem is i dont know exactly what she installed. i forget the name of the application, but the equivelent of add/remove programs in unity, can i run that04:08
brady2600i use gnome shell on my other machine gnome 3.604:08
mnscool thanks.04:08
brady2600ok yes, but the add/remove application on ubuntu, does anyone know the command i can run from the terminal to get it up on the screen, i dont have access to the system settings as it is04:11
escottbrady2600, synaptic?04:13
heoyeasoftware-center?04:14
kellercw78does anyone know of a workaround or bugfix for the nonmaximized windows on the of right of a workspace getting wrapped over to the previous workspace when clicked on the launcher?04:15
KI4ROAnyone know an easy way to make xset settings permanent?04:15
XMLnewbiuseing echo in command line just outputs what you typed right?04:16
corvaxiaAnyone aware of a resource when creating a livedisk USB of ubuntu to run on Mac. I can't get it to be recognized or boot from rEFIt and I think its because the live disk lacks an EFI directory.04:16
zykotick9KI4RO: there is some autorun freature in ubuntu, have you tried just throwing the command into that?04:16
KI4ROzykotick9: No...hmmmm...that sounds like something I could handle...thanks...we'll see04:17
zykotick9KI4RO: i'm not sure it will work, but worth a shot...04:17

heoyeakiran_: was it a zip file ?04:24
kiran_no it is a .rar file04:25
zykotick9woju: i see.  well, keep in mind you can see some .exe stuff on gnu/linux if they are infected with mono (that's a joke, but i do consider mono a trojan, just not in the way you mean)04:25
wojugulag2012: I have install rkhunter,seems it can't find the virus04:25

slinkeeyWhy would sharing default to samba?  Is it assumed that Windows will be in the mix?05:11

pawsit just shows me the date Wed Dec  5 02:15:44 EST 201207:16
pawsbut nothing else... log is empty07:16
ActionParsnippaws: does the command you gave output the status to the screen and then stop?07:17

pawsActionParsnip so why does this log only show me the time but nothing from minicom :(07:26
pawswith the screen you told me..07:26
ActionParsnippaws: yes because the file you said which output the text to the screen wasn't jut that07:26
ActionParsnippaws: its an interactive command07:26
pawsah.. so its not possible?07:27
ActionParsnippaws: so the text is not output to stdout to then be redirected to the log07:27
ActionParsnippaws: many things are possible, may take more waork07:27
pawswhat are your ideas.. :)07:27

onboradDear all, Cedarview  D2500 have dirver on kernel and Xorg?07:42
ActionParsnippaws: killall minicom      should do it07:43
onboradany ideas?07:44
ActionParsnipnullp0inter: why, root has absolute power, so group membership is mooted by that fact07:44
pawsi tried that, ActionParsnip... but the minicom stays opened :)07:44
pawsi added killall right after the minicom -w -C $datadir.txt07:44
nullp0interActionParsnip: , how could I allow my group 'core' the permission to write then? Would I have to just assign the user portion of the chown command to anyone else in the 'core' group?07:45

berdyHey guys, I installed 12.04 server and during the install I did not have an ethernet connection and was therefore unable to auto config my network settings. Now I'm trying to get it to connect with a static ip and I'm having issues. It shows it's up and running but I'm not able to find google. Any ideas?08:33
ActionParsnipberdy: does yournetwork not support dhcp?08:34
danhidr_willis i want to check why this file is too big ? my upload bandwidth traffic was too much for this month and i supose that sendmail is the problem...08:34
berdyActionParsnip, I want it to be static08:34
berdyunless it's not necessary08:34
ActionParsnipberdy: but if you request dhcp, do you get a reply?08:34
onboradActionParsnip:can you provide  xorg.conf  ?08:34
berdyActionParsnip, sorry, I don't understand. You mean if I don't use a static ip?08:35
berdyFirst time using ubuntu server after using arch for quite some time.08:35
ActionParsnipberdy: yes, if you request an IP via dhcp does it succeed?08:36
ActionParsnipberdy: the server OS is near identical in its commands08:36
ActionParsniponborad: there is no single xorg.conf08:36
almoxarifedanhi: i use kde, and via kde if i want to see the content of /var/spool/mail i open kmail and add mail-folder, and you are right, trying to load the file into an editor did crash here, open a mail app and create new mail??? thing, to look at the content08:36
ActionParsniponborad: its a very complex file, I can hash you one up but it's hit and miss to if it willwork08:36
onboradI will provide xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log file08:37
ActionParsnipberdy: if you read between the lines. If the DHCP fails then the network adapter isn't working.08:37
ActionParsnipberdy: think outside the box08:38
berdyIt works08:38
onboradActionParsnip:which lead to the issue?08:38
berdydhcp works and it says "DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255"08:38
ActionParsnipberdy: great the interface is up and communicating. When you set the IP statically, can you ping your default gateway?08:38
berdyMy router says the gateway is 255.255.255.008:39
berdybut this just gave 255.255.255.25508:39
berdyshould I try .255 instead?08:39
ActionParsnipberdy: dhcp will broadcast to the network, so 255.255.255.255 will be used08:39
kelvinellahi i couldnt make the folder sharing working in virtualbox, anyone helps?08:39
berdyFor whatever reason (with no change to the static config) it's now working.08:40

akw_Vim editor is good for opening large files , but i don't know commands, is there any other editor which i can use but interface should be similar to that of word or any other general editor08:59
ActionParsnipalmoxarife: depends on your interpretation of 'right' ;)08:59
premhi all09:01

premis there a way to find out in ubuntu09:01
almoxarifeActionParsnip: how often do you think you are answering/helping mail spammer(noobs) ?? :)09:01
ActionParsnipprem: apt-rdepends should tell you09:01
ActionParsnipalmoxarife: mail spammers are not 'noobs'09:02
almoxarifeprem: use synaptic, its easy, it spoon feeds you that info09:02
premalmoxarife, am not asking about what are the package (say)  gnome-panel depends on., i want to know the name of the packages which depends on gnome-panel09:03
premalmoxarife, will synaptic tell that also09:03
almoxarifeprem: yes, that too09:03
ActionParsnipprem: for example.   apt-rdepends pidgin     shows: http://paste.ubuntu.com/141209509:03
danhialmoxarife nothing has to do me and spamm, i just see that my box was used to spam.09:04

ActionParsnipprem: on my raring system: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1412096/09:05

EaglemanIt did not deliver an uninstall script :P09:10
almoxarifeEagleman: oh, then you have alot of files in alot of places you need to manually remove09:11
EaglemanBut what about the packages?09:12
almoxarifeEagleman: you didnt install via deb/apt/dpkg , the database has no idea those files exist09:12
danhiActionParsnip :)09:13
EaglemanGreat... ok thanks09:13
almoxarifeEagleman: is there a package for the install?09:14
EaglemanI used git clone, and then worked for there, the script did several things which i probally have to backtrace and clean everything myself09:15
EaglemanI beter think twice before using a script09:15
ActionParsnipEagleman: you could analyse the install script09:17
EaglemanYes, but if they had just delivered an uninstall script it would have been easier :)09:17
ActionParsnipEagleman: well it's a 3rd party so technically they don't have to09:19
ActionParsnipEagleman: you could contact the developers and ask how to remove it09:19

sankeyhow can I get the latest open source radeon drivers on ubuntu 12.04?09:36
ActionParsnipjasper22: does hosts.conf have the first uncommented line:  order hosts,bind09:36
ActionParsnipsankey: remove the proprietary ones09:36
jasper22ActionParsnip: here is my /etc/hosts:   http://paste.ubuntu.com/1412134/09:37
sankeyActionParsnip: proprietary ones were never installed, i just assumed the open source ones i have right now are out of date, since suspend works in other distros (Arch, openSUSE)09:37
sankeyi'm on ubuntu 12.04, and suspend doesn't work  <-- that's basically my problem09:38
sankeyi'm pretty sure it's a problem with drivers because on resume i can't even switch to TTY109:39
luis__hi09:40
t9226pihaea09:41
sankeyi'm not sure if the radeon drivers are associated with the kernel, but i tried upgrading from 3.2 to 3.4, but that didn't fix the problem.09:41
sankeyi can't upgrade to 3.5/3.6 because ubuntu doesn't offer non-pae versions09:42
almoxarifesankey: you can use the pae kernel on a non pae09:42
ActionParsnipsankey: not out of date, the other distros will use different kernel settings and different compile options andso forth09:42

almoxarifesankey: forget what i said, i assumed pae was supported since noah was a bootcamp, seems not so09:48

EaglemanIs it smart to rm -R /etc and then cp my rsnapshot backup back to /etc/?09:49
jasper22ActionParsnip: ok, thanks, I'll try to restart the computer couple of times.. let see what happens09:50
almoxarifejasper22: what version of ubuntu did you un-install dnsmasq from?09:50
jasper22almoxarife: 12.10 LTS09:50
ActionParsnipEagleman: in livecd I suppose so. I recommend you rename the current one rather than deleting09:51
ActionParsnipjasper22: 12.10 isn't LTS09:51
almoxarifejasper22: pretty sure 12.10 and 12.04 require dnsmasq, didnt alot of other things get un-installed with dnsmasq also?09:51
EaglemanI cant do it when the OS is running?09:51
ActionParsnipjasper22: 12.04 is LTS and 10.04 is LTS09:51
EaglemanI am currently remote so i cant livecd do it09:51
sankeyActionParsnip: in that link you sent me, there is a link to installing 12.10 and it provides a PPA for a 3.5 kernel. Do you think that PPA will work in 12.04 also?09:52
jasper22Ooopss sorry - 12.0409:52
ActionParsnipEagleman: there are files like /etc/hostname and /etc/resolv.conf which you need for the OS to work09:52
ActionParsnipsankey: maybe09:52
EaglemanThey are not loaded in the memory ?09:52

EaglemanThe files will only be missing for a few minutes09:52
almoxarifejasper22: yeap, you need to re-install it09:53
ActionParsnipEagleman: its still needed. If you keep those files you'll be ok. Or you can sidestep issues and use live CD09:53

ActionParsnipinternetishard: they use fairly generic stuff now (no idea why they still charge double price), you may find the necessity for tweaks but otherwise they aren't too bad from what I have heard10:42

codfatherActionParsnip: Thanks for the link, but that is how to set up dnsmasq on it's own, and not the version that is linked with NetworkManager - they are different11:30
ActionParsnipkishimi98: you can remove python-aptdaemon.gtk3widgets    this is what it does: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1412296/11:30
ActionParsnipkishimi98: I suggest you boot to the Quantal install CD and run the upgrade there, it may help11:31
kishimi98ok,.,. last time i tried downloading the cd . got stuck at 99.99%11:32

kishimi98i did the usual update ,.,. and it said a new upgrade is available so i happily clicked.. and now im here11:35

kishimi98fresh install  ,............. im beggining to like the sound of that,.,. but man i think i would simply manage the system with its problems11:38
jribkishimi98: if you deleted that file I asked you to, you can try then installing python-aptdaemon.gtk3widgets again.  If that completes successfully, then you can retry the upgrade.  That's what I would do anyway.11:39

ujjainNo, but Test Sound is not even working13:35
ujjainmaybe a bios setting13:35
jribsalmon: umm, check for something like ~/.ecryptfs .  I forget what the current setup is.  An easy way for you to check would be to not login, then login as a different user and see what the home directory looks like for the user you can't ssh with13:35
peterrusujjain, laptop or desktop?13:36

peterrussalmon, doesnt it have a serial terminal port?13:37
peterrusujjain, and try digital output instead of hdmi?13:37
ujjainI tried, tested all 313:37
peterrusif it still doesnt work. use 'alsamixer' to see if nothing is muted (MM) or set to zero volume13:37
jribsalmon: well the easiest thing for you to do is check for ~/.ecryptfs.  Like I said, I'm not sure that's the way encryption works at the moment, but if you see that there, then it's a good guess you have an encrypted home.  If you don't see it, then we can just assume your home is encrypted, try the solution (move your authorized_keys outside your encrypted home) and see if you can login then13:37
jribsalmon: also, if you have another user (user B), you can ssh as user B and check what user A's home looks like before you login13:38
peterruseach users home directory contains a .Private file/folder13:39
peterrusthat contains their encrypted homedir13:39
salmonjrib, I don't have that folder and no other users. Also, I have a script in /etc/init.d that I want to run at start up, and that runs only after login too.13:39
jribsalmon: you can see the discussion about what to do with an encrypted home at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys#Troubleshooting13:39
peterrusso if that file is present and isn't zero in size13:39
peterrusits probably an encrypted homedir13:39
jribsalmon: see what peterrus says13:39
jribsalmon: I doubt ssh is only starting after you login. When you attempt to ssh without logging in locally, don't you get a response from the ssh server?  Saying authentication failed?13:40

salmonjrib, Ok, also the script that I set to autostart in /etc/ini,d still hasn't run, if that helps on anything13:50
jribsalmon: have you tried removing that script?  What's the script?13:50
Lachezaronborad: I was unable to 'fix' this issue, normally it would go away with a kernel update a few months later, but still... To this day I only use shutdown, no suspend, and no hibernate,13:50
salmonjrib, It's a simple script that does basic tasks that I run every time I start the server. It starts an IRC client, torrent client, IRC bot and a webserver. The problem existed before I ever set the script up. I just logged in through the keyboard and the script ran, and ssh works.13:51

jribsalmon: remove the script so we can focus on ssh; create a new user to debug13:53
jribsalmon: I have to leave though; I'll be back in an hour or two13:53
salmonjrib, Ok, I'll still be here unless I manage to fix it, thanks for the help so far13:54
jribsalmon: it's definitely not default behavior.  If ssh wasn't running at all, you'd just get a timeout, not a connection refused13:54
jribsalmon: so maybe there's some firewall that you disable when you login?  I don't know; just guessing13:54

Guest38605Is cloning the same thing as making a duplicate image of the disk?14:01
jribsalmon: hmm, yes you are right.  My other guess is taht you aren't actually logging in but answering some prompt during boot up.  Check that you have two instances of your shell once you ssh14:02

Guest38605Kostkon ubottu: I HAVE been asking questions and no one has answered any. I will ask again though. Is copying the HDD the same as making an image of it? My other question was if it was okay to run SMART tests while using test disk to probe the drive for more partitions.14:08

usr13MaxFrames: Have you deleted the original user?14:41
MaxFrameswhen I try to logon as the original user, the password is accepted, the screen goes blank for a while, and then I am back to the logon screen14:41
MaxFramesI haven't done anything to the original user14:42
usr13MaxFrames: Why did you set password for root?14:42
MaxFramesI shall add that I've installed likewise-open, joined the machine to a domain (succeeded) and rebooted it14:42
escottcristian_c, set will show all those14:43
MaxFramesusr13: because I had to edit the sudoers file and this file has a remark saying that it "MUST" be edited using visudo by the root user--- anyway the reason does not matter14:43
escotthilo, depends on the permissions of the user and the goal of the chroot14:43
MaxFramesthe cause of the issue may be setting up a root password or it may be due to something likewise-open did14:43
MaxFrameseither way, it's unexpected behaviour14:44

Bower^i've updated my $PATH variable but the changes won't take effect until i log out then back in. is there a way around that?14:55
usr13MaxFrames: My Italian is not good, but I do not see where it tells you to create root account.  That is the #1 thing you should not have done.  BUT, what you see there is that your home dir is owned by sysadmin, so, is sysadmin the [correct] username?14:56
MaxFramesusr13: when I try to log in as the user, a message is briefly displayed before the logon screen reappears... it's too fast to read, but I saw the words "dispatcher disabled"... does that ring some bell?14:56
escottGuest38605, sometimes you see these kinds of high values and its actually in error. usually with things like cpu temp where it reports 2000 degrees. shouldnt happen with smart status, but i cant say for sure. monitor the progression of those values (you can do that by installing smartctl and running "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda > smart_YYYYMMDD.txt" and then running diff smart_YYYYMMDD.txt smart_YYYYMMDD.txt for different dates14:56
MaxFramesusr13: I never said that creating a password for root was part of the process of installing likewise-open. on the contrary, I made it very clear that they are two separate operations that I have done, and that either may be the cause of the issue14:57

escottMaxFrames, the emphasis is on the "visudo" part of that statement. any way to run a command as root is fine, just that the command should be visudo15:15
almoxarifemyhero: you forgot 'please'15:15
atlusis there a simple driver I can install from software center for my linksys wireless adapter?15:15
uberamdMaxFrames: when people say use root they often don't mean do a sudo -i or su15:15
notwistlJ6il: if it all works out you should be able to replace index.html with index.php and then start trying out some code15:15

MaxFrameswhen I try to save the file in visudo, the default path is /etc/sudoers.tmp15:16
MaxFrameswhy the .tmp?15:16
TakeItEZusr13: "nobody changed it before, ididn't do anything" :) but solved now15:16
escottfellipe, normally you would have 127.0.1.1 YOUR_LOCAL_HOSTNAME_HERE in there as well15:16
escott!hostname | fellipe15:16
ubottufellipe: 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.

bkfitzAnyone familiar with the process of 'mapping' wireless router external storage as a CIFS share... looking at these new 'cloud routers' from dlink and/or cisco and want to make sure i will be able to access the shared storage at least from my home network and ideally from anywhere15:19
lJ6ilnotwist, localhost gives me this : http://dpaste.org/jdXK4/15:19
uberamdbkfitz: not very difficult15:20
uberamdbkfitz: i wouldn't worry15:20
bkfitzuberamd: so do all of these routers that support usb storage also support cifs?  and will I be able to access it from outside my home or only from inside my lan15:20
MaxFramessuccess! big time!15:20
uberamdbkfitz: depends on the router but generally you can't access it from outside15:20
bkfitzlooking at this guy http://www.dlink.com/us/en/home-solutions/connect/routers/-/media/Consumer_Products/DIR/DIR%20826L/Datasheet/DIR-826L_DS.pdf15:21
usr13TakeItEZ: Thanks for stepping int....  :)15:21
bkfitzuberamd: maybe as a fstab ftp15:21
notwistlJ6il: do you have a /var/www/ folder with an index.html file in it?15:22
notwistlJ6il: can you run sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart15:22
lJ6ilYes for the first question.15:23
notwistlJ6il: try restarting the apache server per my second message and see if that changes anything15:23
lJ6ilfor the second one : http://dpaste.org/LO4vs/15:23
uberamdbkfitz: that data sheet is incredibly vague, looks like you may need to use their stupid cloud website to access stuff remotely15:23
=== chris_ is now known as hairy
bkfitzuberamd: yeah sorry meant to link to spec webpage... but i think you are right... html only access from cloud... or ftp15:24
uberamdbkfitz: I generally stick with Asus routers for that purpose, their usb ports support a variety of access methods including ftp, smb, etc.15:24
codfathercodfather,15:24
notwistlJ6il: check out /var/log/apache2/error.log15:24
bkfitzuberamd: thx for the advise... but cifs isn't really a good solution for access from the outside right?  ports 139 etc bad15:25
uberamdbkfitz: right and thats where a sftp option is useful. I avoid FTP as much as I can for anything I care about15:25
lJ6ilnotwist, empty file.15:25
bkfitzuberamd: you mean because ftp is plain text15:26
notwistlJ6il: what do you get if you run ps -e | grep apache15:26
notwistis it running?15:26
uberamdbkfitz: exactly why sftp is >>>> ftp15:26
notwistlJ6il: if im not mistaken it looks like something is already using your port 80, so thats either a dead apache process or something else15:27
lJ6ilnotwist, there's also a strange thing : 127.0.1.115:27
lJ6ildon't know why it's like that15:27
bkfitzuberamd: yeah... and you think the asus' generally support sftp and i could 'mount' that as local storage through fstab15:27
lJ6ilnothing for the grep apache15:27
uberamdbkfitz: thats the route i went. plus asus has great support for ddwrt which i love15:27
notwistlJ6il: what happens if you run sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start15:28
notwistsame?15:28
bkfitzuberamd: 10-4 - also wanted to give ddwrt a shot15:28
MaxFrames:/ I can logon as a windows domain user (good), I can sudo (good), but I cannot browse the network for windows shares (bad)... I just get a spinning cursor15:28
bkfitzuberamd: only downside i see is that the new dlink's and cisco's support access from android and ios as an app... wonder if asus has a similar product15:29
lJ6ilnotwist, same15:29
bkfitzuberamd: this one looks pretty sweet and supports something called ASUS AiCloud - http://www.asus.com/Networks/Wireless_Routers/RTAC66U/15:30
notwistlJ6il: you could try looking at http://serverfault.com/questions/103426/apache2-could-not-reliably-determine-the-servers-fully-qualified-domain-name15:30
notwistlJ6il: although that in itself shouldnt stop apache from starting15:31
bkfitzuberamd: gotta love google - http://event.asus.com/2012/nw/aicloud/index.htm (ASUS AiCloud keeps you connected to your data wherever and whenever you have an Internet connection. It links your home network and online Web storage service* and lets you access it through the AiCloud mobile app on your iOS or Android smartphone or through a personalized URL in a Web browser. Now all your data can go where you do.)15:31
uberamdbkfitz: looks great, and has VPN functionality built in15:31
notwistlJ6il: this url seems to support the notion that something else is using your port 80: http://forums.codeguru.com/showthread.php?464023-Apache-Problems-quot-no-listening-sockets-available-shutting-down-quot15:31
uberamdbkfitz: which is a plus in my book15:31
bkfitzuberamd: yeah... still not safe protocol for access from outside except sftp15:31
bkfitzthough15:32
bkfitzuberamd: wonder how the android and ios apps do it15:32
lJ6ilOk, thanks notwist i'm going to look at your links... and study them15:32
notwistlJ6il: if I were you id try installing the "nmap" portscanner and then running "nmap localhost", see whats responding on port 8015:32
bkfitzlJ61il: check your logs /var/log/apache2/15:33

The 10.04 works fine, but for some erason, on the Vagrant built 12.04 box, using PHP to make HTTP requests to certain URLs takes a really long time and often times out. I can confirm the URLs are active and working and pings are not especially large. Debugging tips are greatly appreciated.16:06

scarleoHi, having a problem with a script that I need to run as root with crontab, I can see that the script runs but it doesn't do the same thing as when I run it manually16:10
escottatlus, you are being rude, and you seemed to be confused about how things work. if cisco/linksys doesn't provide specs on the hardware someone has to reverse engineer it. that is expensive to do so unless you want to pay lots of money there is no guarantee it will work. but we can offer you a full 100% refund of your purchase price16:10
hilo MonkeyDust, man pages say -vv increases verbosity more (and this is how I've used it in the past)16:10
escottscarleo, yes... and the script is16:10
TakeItEZhilo: -vv increases verbosity, but it will tell you why or why not files will be copied16:10
hiloTakeItEZ, ah okay16:11
MonkeyDusthilo  i use rsync -avv for my daily backups, it says 'is up to date', thanks to -vv16:11

escottscarleo, thats a horrible tutorial16:13
almoxarifeatlus: did the install and reboot happen within the last couple of hours?16:13
scarleoescott, probably :) But anywa, the pc sleeps when I run the script, bt not whe I run it with cron16:13
atlusyes16:13
escottscarleo, you should NEVER have root crontab executing something out of the users home folder. NEVER NEVER NEVER16:13
TakeItEZhilo: sry it won't tell you "why not", just rechecked16:14
escottscarleo, in your case you likely have an encrypted home or something. move the script to /root16:14
hiloMonkeyDust, The "is up to date" is just added verbosity, -vv does not change the behavior of rsync in any functional manner16:14
TakeItEZerr "whx"16:14

zykotick9dak0: "sudo apt-get install openbox" then log out and choose openbox in the login menu - done18:38
jribjakey: that's not really ubuntu-related.  Try #ubuntu-offtopic18:38

trismldlework: I do have other servers that I actually use with ssh (and not just git) in there too and don't need to specify -F though18:38

trismShaun__: after you plug in the flash drive, check dmesg to see what name it gets assigned (and perhaps: sudo fdisk -l; to see what partition), in my case it ended up being /dev/sdb1 so: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt; use cp to put files on the drive, then: sudo umount /dev/sdb1; when you are done, replacing sdb1 with the partition that got assigned to your device19:23

mr_chrisMarcN: Are you going Linux to Linux or Linux to some other OS?19:25
Shaun__trism: okay, so mount the flash drive and enter "cp (origin directory)~(destination)"?19:25
hiloMarcN, last I checked, the built in vnc server is broken with unity. it doesn't draw everything all the time and it makes it really difficult to use. I started using x11vnc about a year ago19:27
trismShaun__: yeah, probably need sudo too, sudo cp /path/to/file /mnt/; add -R if you want to copy a whole directory, -v to see what cp is doing, etc19:27
MarcNhilo, I'll give x11vnc a shot.19:27
MarcNmr_chris, yes ubuntu to ubuntu, both 12.1019:28
Shaun__trism: "sudo /home/shaun/teamspeak3-server_linux-x86/to/dev/sdb1"? owo19:29
Shaun__trism: "sudo cp ..."*19:30
hiloMarcN, I also have grown to really like a few features of the x11vnc server that are better than the built in. You can run the x11vnc from terminal/ssh which means you don't need to leave it running. SSH into the box and turn it on when you need it so it's not listening for hackers all day long. It also can be started even when no user has logged into the local session meaning you can remote into the log on screen and log in.19:30
MarcNhilo, installing now.  Really disappointing that it doesn't work out of the box with Unity, now that Unity is the default.19:31
zykotick9Shaun__: that /dev/sdb1 concerns me, that's a device - when it should be a mount point19:32
trismShaun__: /dev/sdb1 would be the device name, above I mounted it at /mnt, so you would copy to to /mnt19:32
trismShaun__: again though, check to see what name gets assigned to your flash drive when you plug it in19:32

Shaun__And sorry, I know, I am a terrible newb with Linux :x .19:34
zykotick9Shaun__: you need a space between the file and destination, where your "/to" is19:34
trismShaun__: is teamspeak3-server_linux-x86 a directory?19:34
Shaun__trism: Yes, som -R at the end, right?19:35
Shaun__so*19:35
trismShaun__: if so it would look like: sudo cp -R /home/shaun/teamspeak3-server_linux-x86 /mnt;19:35

You can remove the respective switches for those features to use it without them though.19:38

ubottuGuest17807: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines20:09
TheLordOfTimeGuest17807, it shouldn't, but back up your data anyways.  And only set the "bootable" flag if you know what you're doing, changing that on a whim can cause issues.20:10
Dougie187Chotaz`: did you press esc?20:10
compdocGuest17807, making a partition bootable does not normally harm the data20:10
Chotaz`Dougie187, yeah i keep doing that20:10

usr13mega2: sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop20:25
usr13mega2: Same way you installed it.  Right?20:25
mega2usr13 tried that after i rebooted it was still there20:26
bobweavermega2,  you are going to have to look at the Depends: stanza of that meta package and look at what it installed20:29
bobweavermega2,  example:     apt-cache show ubuntu-desktop | awk '/Depends:/,/Recommends:/'20:31
bobweavermega2,  just be carefull that you do not remove libs that you need for server (as I am sure that there are some that are both needed )20:32
HTC-DZ:D ok guys im 100% up and running :D20:32
HTC-DZwhat i did was removed my pci-e card. booted up using onboard gpu. then changed drivers to nvidia-current. <restarted> then i shut down. inserted my pci-e card again and voila :D working with unity 3D too :)20:33
bobweavermega2,  easy way out back up all server related things and start fresh20:34
HTC-DZyou guys think i should leave well alone or try the "version current-updates" drivers and see if that works?20:36
mega2cant do that i would not be able to set it up the same way again20:36

Marvin_Leohey, am not able to change file permissions with chmod, what could be the problem?20:39
zykotick9Marvin_Leo: fat/ntfs file system by chance?20:40
superbootHi all. I'm trying to get spell-checking to work on Openoffice. It works on one machine, but I don't remember doing anything special. In Tools -> Options -> Language Settings -> Writing Aids, Hunspell is listed in Available language modules on the machine that works. But on the machine that doesn't work, there are no modules. How can I get the hunspell module?20:40
guntbertMarvin_Leo: show us in a !pastebin what command you gave and the output please20:40
SonikkuAmericaHey everyone!20:41
Marvin_Leozykotick9, you got it right coz I have an ntfs partition which I use to sandbox my linux and windows stuff.  Does it mean then that I'll have to work on the linux partition?20:41
icerootcan i use encryption on an already used partition without reformating it? so that i will keep the complete data?20:42
zykotick9Marvin_Leo: ntfs won't support chmod - use a better filesystem ;)20:42
Marvin_Leoguntbert, just realised why. My files are on a ntfs filesystem20:42
Marvin_Leozykotick9, I get it now :)  I owe you one :)20:43
guntbertMarvin_Leo: I see :-), never mind my comment then20:43
Marvin_Leoguntbert, thanks anyway :)20:43
SonikkuAmericaThat's weird... NTFS not supporting chmod... is there another way to change permissions on a NTFS filesystem, or are you forced into using Windows?20:43
icerootSonikkuAmerica: windows does not know permissions like unix does, windows is using different things but for example samba is doing a mapping between posix acls and windows stuff20:44
Dougie187Does anyone know if one of two things exist? First a program that will monitor specific sections of ram for attempted reads/writes and Second, a program that will monitor another process and inform me if/when it dies?20:44
zykotick9SonikkuAmerica: nothing "weird" about MS's promprietary filesystem not supporting posix, that's business as usual (for MS)20:44
icerootDougie187: for the second, have a look at "trap" on bash20:45
SonikkuAmericazykotick9: Sometimes the "S" can feel like a "$"20:45

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!20:45
SonikkuAmericaYeah, I did digress... XD20:46
Dougie187iceroot: is there a way to trap any signal, and on a process that is already running? (Lets say something started in a GUI?)20:46
icerootDougie187: i guess watching the PID may work20:48
icerootDougie187: a little script which will get a PID and will look if the pid is still there20:48
icerootDougie187: but maybe there is a much more common solution i dont know20:48
Dougie187iceroot: Oh ok. Thanks20:48

dr_willisLABcrab:  if i rember my old serial terminal days.. thers no carrier because you dont have a actual dial tone.  you  are directly connected over a null-modem cable?21:47

Nik05what do i need to do when aa-status take a really long time to execute and then is putting alot of lines to STDOUT?21:47

AmpersandI have a question: Empathy doesn't save the aliases that I set up for my Yahoo contacts. Whenever I go offline and online again, they're all reset, showing the user ID rather than the alias I've set up. Is there a way to fix this? (Using Ubuntu 12.10 here)22:40

Guest14564    Right-click the 'Computer' (or 'My Computer') icon on your desktop, or in the Start Menu, and select Manage. The 'Computer Management' window should appear.22:51
Guest14564    In the Computer Management window, from the list on the left, select 'Disk Management' (within the Storage sub-tree).22:51

SonikkuAmericamontassar: Yeah, if you're really concerned about it, just edit your sources.list23:05
gigglefightthanks. i'm installing wine right now. it'll be a few. i have downloaded the bundle.exe from amd site that has the older available drivers.23:05
dr_willisgigglefight:  err.. you dont use windows drivers on linux normally...23:06
darkhalo117Gigglefight why not just use ubuntu's driver manager?23:06
gigglefightdr_willis: quick question - difference between sudo apt-get install wine and sudo apt-get install winehq... i've 'wine' instead of 'winehq' i hope there's no difference.23:06
montassarbut I can't update the systemany more, even the update manager wich I tried to update from, always died always with an error23:06
dr_willis!info winehq23:06
ubottuPackage winehq does not exist in quantal23:06
dr_willisive never heard of winehq..23:06
gigglefightdarkhalo117: i have. i get there are no proprietary drivers available.23:07
dr_willistheres the wine channel called that i think23:07
dr_willis!wine23:07
ClientAlivewhen I do "sudo apt-get upgrade" there is a whole slew of packages listed that are being "kept back". Why? Looking at the names they appear important.23:07

dr_willisgigglefight:   you dont use wine to install video card drivers.,23:07
montassarI didn't try, I just want to update to 12.10..23:07
darkhalo117Clientalive, if you are using the LTE it will not install the beta software so packages will be left out23:08
SonikkuAmericamontassar: Does [ sudo apt-get install -f ] in a terminal work?23:08
darkhalo117You can change that in update manager23:08
dr_willismontassar:   You mean upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10?  Update is somthing else. ;)23:08
gigglefightdr_willis: then what is there to use? the file from the site is an .exe23:08
ActionParsnipClientAlive: if deps cannot be met then packages will not be installed. When they are satisfied they will come down23:08
montassaryes upgrade..23:08
dr_willisgigglefight:  no idea what you are doing.. but you DONT install video card drivers for your ati card with wine.23:08
dr_willisgigglefight:  if the card is very old then it may be  the FGLRX drivers no longer support it.23:09
dr_willisgigglefight:  and the included open sourced drivers are what the card uses.23:09

montassarcorrect23:14
SonikkuAmericamontassar: If you want to upgrade to 12.10 make sure your software software sources say "For any new version" then run Update Manager, or, in a terminal, type [ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ]23:14

zykotick9!dist-upgrade23:15
ubottuA dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention.23:15
SonikkuAmericadr_willis: Oops, you're right. Use [ update-manager -c ]23:15

emxjrib, thanks23:25
kandinski/bin/bash23:25
jribkandinski: what makes you believe that .bash_profile is not being sourced?23:25
SonikkuAmericaSee you later everyone!23:25
kandinskijrib, I `$ exec $SHELL` to launch a new environment, and my $PATH remains unmodified23:26
jribkandinski: .bash_profile (by the way ubuntu has a .profile by default but if you've created a .bash_profile it will be preferred) will only be sourced for a login shell23:27
Makdaamnvm, fixed it by `apt-get purge byobu` and editing .screnrc by hand :)23:27
kandinskiwhereas if I run by hand the `export PATH` comand I have, I see the new $PATH23:27
kandinskijrib, hmm, so not any shell I launch from X?23:28
* kandinski goes read documentation about differences between .bash_profile and .bashrc23:28
kandinskijrib, is ubuntu standard in this behaviour?23:28
jribkandinski: right.  But ~/.profile (maybe ~/.bash_profile too) will get sourced when you login initially and your shells in X will inherit those values.  This is standard bash behavior, it's documented in « man bash »23:29
ActionParsnipkandinski: do you have ~/.profile and ~/.bashrc ?23:29
kandinskijrib, thanks. will read difference between .bashrc (where I plop everything, really) and .bash_profile (which was empty until I read these instructions for rbenv)23:29
dr_williskandinski:  to a 'xterm -ls' (for login shell) and .bash_profile will be read..   I belive.. normal 'xterm' it will not23:30
jribkandinski: you should notice that ~/.profile is not empty.  PATH changes are something you should be doing in ~/.profile23:30
kandinskiI did have a .profile, but I now find that it will not be read now that I have a .bash_profile23:30
jribkandinski: correct23:30
kandinskioh, thanks everyone. I am writing now a fix to these instructions I found. is .profile ubuntu-only?23:31
Ampersandre-hi everyone! I uninstalled (purge) both telepathy-haze and empathy (did autoremove after that)... reinstalled them... but no luck there, still the aliases are not shown23:31
kandinskithese are the instructions: https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv23:31
Staidendoes Precise have a sever version?23:31
kandinskiI'd like to fix them so the next ubuntu user that finds them doesn't fall in the same trap I did23:31
jribkandinski: I'm fairly certain I remember some users coming in here because of that page; would be nice to have it fixed23:32
kandinskiso a couple more questions. Is .profile ubuntu-only? If so, what's the rationale to deviate from the bash standard .bash_profile?23:32
kandinskiso the current info has a Zsh note. I will add a Ubuntu note along the lines of:23:33
gigglefightdr_willis: just realized that i need to reboot. after the reboot, i will type: "sudo apt-get install fglrx fglrx-amdcccle" into terminal.23:33
kandinski"Ubuntu note: path modification should be done in .profile, not in .bash_profile."23:33
jribkandinski: both would work, it's just that ubuntu already sets up a .profile by default and as you noted it won't get executed if a user creates a .bash_profile23:34
jribkandinski: http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bash.html talks about ~/.profile so I assume it's not ubuntu-specific23:35
kandinskiso it would be better to word it "ubuntu users are advised to add path changes to their .profile, not their .bash_profile"23:36
jribkandinski: sure, that seems reasonable23:36

jribkandinski: afaik, you have to log out and back in if you are making changes to ~/.profile23:40

PanikI clicked eject in banshee23:41
crimsonmanePanik: i can be of no further assistance. good luck. i hope all works out for you :(23:41
kandinskiwhen I have some time I am going to test them on my wife's computer, see if they work there. Maybe MacOS shells source the .profile with every invocation of the terminal. I dunno.23:41

Panikdoes freenode have a ipod channel?23:42
crimsonmanePanik: when you eject inside banshee does it unmount it from the filesystem?23:42
Panikyes23:42
jribkandinski: probably, the terminal emulator might just spawn a login shell everytime23:42
ActionParsnipkandinski: I see23:42
dr_williskandinski:  OS_X is based on BSD. so it may not be using the same 'bash' as linux23:42
Panikyou mean like within banshee ?23:42
Panikor from my file manager?23:42
LynnLeaola...23:42
ActionParsnipkandinski: try the .profile file at least :)23:42
crimsonmanePanik: you should eject it using the file manager (or terminal if you prefer) but i do not know if ejecting it from banshee does the same thing23:42

Panikso I should sync my library with banshee then uh23:43

ubottuTo 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.23:47
