[03:58] because ram is far faster than hdd [03:59] yhusha, only relevant when you are reading from disk [03:59] both 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] escott: waynr debootstrap [04:00] RJ45-Q, since you never installed glxinfo i cant say [04:01] escott: a HDD iIS way faster than RAM!, the average HDD spins at around 5400RPM to 7200RPM!, where the average RAM just sits there :P [04:01] IS* [04:01] lol [04:01] also tryna figure out why theres no swappiness setting in the systcl.config file yet there is swap [04:02] conf* [04:02] MAAAAAD: are you MAD?

[04:04] brady2600: gnome-terminal or xterm or ... [04:04] brady2600, there are many: gnome-terminal, xterm, rxvt (if installed) etc [04:04] brady2600: gnome-terminal & [04:04] Ctrl-alt-T works for Unity [04:04] heoyea, the & would only be relevant if he were at a terminal... a little chicken and egg there [04:04] my 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 dissappoeared [04:05] brady2600, the compositor is broken. something with graphics drivers. nvidia, amd or intel? [04:05] escott: oh though he was launching a gui from a terminal [04:05] yes she says she installed something for invidia [04:05] brady2600: that used to happen to me when i tried doing "alt space n" to minimize. i had to re-apply Window Decorations [04:06] but it was a compiz thing [04:06] i know that compiz is crashing too [04:06] is there some way i can disable compiz via the terminal [04:06] brady2600: ull kill the whole desktop if u do [04:07] brady2600: Unity is a compiz plugin... so if that's the DE you use - probably not. [04:08] is there a way to use gnome shell instead of unity with ubuntu 12.04 ? [04:08] !notunity | mns [04:08] mns: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [04:08] brady2600, that would do it. check /var/log/dpkg.log to figure out what she installed [04:08] hummm. 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 that [04:08] i use gnome shell on my other machine gnome 3.6 [04:08] cool thanks. [04:11] ok 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 is [04:13] brady2600, synaptic? [04:14] software-center? [04:15] does 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] Anyone know an easy way to make xset settings permanent? [04:16] useing echo in command line just outputs what you typed right? [04:16] Anyone 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] KI4RO: there is some autorun freature in ubuntu, have you tried just throwing the command into that?

It appears to use samba to do this.. Kind of suprised that it defaulted to samba vs nfs... Anyways.. My other machines do not discover this share.. I actually have to type in a location.... Any ideas? [05:07] slinkeey: Users not member of the same work group? [05:07] slinkeey: maybe create a shortcut [05:07] BlueEagle: s/Users/Computers/ [05:08] osamabinladen, do not cuss [05:08] Well was hoping that any pc in my house would discover it.. It is a public folder... [05:09] trying to use tar -xvvzf but getting errors, is there a differnt way to unzip? [05:09] slinkeey: Ok, let me rephrase then. What is the name of the work group of your linux box and what is the name of the work group of your other computer(s)? [05:09] XMLnewbi_: tar xzvf filename.tar.gz or tar xjvf filename.tar.bz2 [05:10] XMLnewbi_: or unzip filename.zip [05:10] It is just called workgroup [05:10] file extension is .zip === atrius is now known as atrius_away [05:10] actually WORKGROUP [05:11] BlueEagle: fyi tar doesn't typically need z or j anymore, it's now smart enough to figure it out on it's own [05:11] slinkeey: if nfs is what you want it needs to be installed and setup, i would suggest it, samba is a mess, and yes, sharing defaults to samba [05:11] XMLnewbi_: make sure unzip is installed [05:11] Why would sharing default to samba? Is it assumed that Windows will be in the mix? [05:11] unzip got it, could it be I downloaded a windows version instead of linux? [05:11] zykotick9: Not very helpful. [05:12] BlueEagle: sorry? [05:12] XMLnewbi_: unzip is in the repositories [05:12] slinkeey: Most times Linux is installed in a mixed environment, yes. [05:13] XMLnewbi_: sudo apt-get install unzip [05:17] hey there [05:17] was wondering if anyone could answer some questions about media streaming.. [05:17] hello [05:17] whats up cheese [05:17] nothing much [05:18] drohnoes, just ask [05:18] blaaaa [05:18] well I'm running ubuntu on some shitty p4, and I'm trying to set up this computer as a media server (DLNA) to my ps3 [05:19] good luck transfixing needs more CPU then a p4 [05:19] now I always had problems connecting my ps3 to anything, on my other laptop I had used windows media player to share and it would be seen by my xbox, but never my ps3.... but [05:20] I have ps3mediaserver installed but when it starts it says no renders found... lol now is a render just another machine? eg my ps3 or my xbox or what have you?

In the option for "Folder" I am trying to put the remote folder I want it to connect to but it still maps to my home folder on the server no matter what I put [05:25] like the server has /media/storage - so on the client I put that, but it maps to ~/. instead [05:25] anyone know how can i pull WEIGHT from /dev/ttyUSB0 ? is there a bash script or something? [05:26] ~/ ** === ravn1 is now known as ravn [05:27] zykotick9: Sorry, just had to do something. What's U-S-C? [05:27] JamesNZ: ubuntu software center [05:27] JamesNZ: only 1 program at a time can use apt [05:28] zykotick9: Nope USC isn't open and I can't see any apt-* processes in the sys monitor :| [05:28] JamesNZ: are you sure about the sudo then? [05:29] zykotick9: The script asked me for the root password but I didn't run it as sudo, is that not the same? [05:30] I did give the pw BTW... [05:30] JamesNZ: root password eh, well best of luck. i'm out. [05:30] zykotick9: That's ok, thanks for the advice :) === jono is now known as Guest68697 [05:35] I think it's working now!

[05:55] its like the default window manager for ubuntu now has the smallest damn corner handle EVER.!! [05:56] jrib are you around? i put exec gnome-session in my xinitrc and the same problem persists. the issue definitely lies with startx , though i can't be so sure :/ [05:56] WHOS shitty idea was that?

[06:00] ok well..since nobody can tell my why my windowey resize..framey thing is so damn small now..im taking it and going back to scripting. [06:02] zykotick9, do i need to press TAB button or is it meant literally? [06:02] meddie: tab button, for autocomplete [06:03] yeah zykotick9 gnome-session is listed [06:03] meddie: i'm not a gnome3 person, so i'm just confirming that is the correct command. i guess it is. === chalced is now known as chalcedony [06:03] meddie: what happens when you "startx" right now? [06:04] zykotick9, boots to DWM , [06:04] zykotick9: and your .xinitrc is in your home folder correct?

[07:18] paws: the minicom command you gave doesn't simply spit out the status [07:18] when i screen -r it shows me all the values [07:18] i see action happening.. [07:19] its a weight scale so i see 0.0kg 2.0kg etc.. [07:19] paws: yes the command you gave seems to start a monitor app which you can watch, correct [07:19] ? [07:20] paws: did you read the man page of minicom at all? [07:20] yes i can watch whats happening with my weight scale via minicom [07:20] read? [07:20] so i run minicom under screen... [07:21] paws: search http://man.cx/minicom for the word 'logging' [07:21] almoxarife: a weird word for some people [07:21] ActionParsnip, do you like to use mc? [07:21] alusion_: never had to use it [07:21] but that does not timestamp, ActionParsnip [07:22] paws: i see [07:23] thats why i was wondering if screen could timestamp the log [07:23] :) [07:23] ActionParsnip: can you help me with a serial connection to my toaster? [07:25] almoxarife: shouldn't be too different to this: http://arkarthick.com/2012/01/18/linux-powered-coffee-roaster/ [07:26] ActionParsnip so why does this log only show me the time but nothing from minicom :( [07:26] with the screen you told me.. [07:26] paws: yes because the file you said which output the text to the screen wasn't jut that [07:26] paws: its an interactive command [07:27] ah.. so its not possible? [07:27] paws: so the text is not output to stdout to then be redirected to the log [07:27] paws: many things are possible, may take more waork [07:27] what are your ideas.. :) [07:29] paws: seems that screen can write to a log file, read the man pages [07:29] screen -L [07:30] that is what I am using === gpix13 is now known as gpix13_away [07:32] paws: thats all I know. Maybe there are some screen users who know the logging thing. I'd remove the cron job then the log file as it's useless to you [07:32] i read somewhere that i can do piping.. and they said use this awk '{ print strftime("%d/%m/%y %T"), $0; }' === lifelike_ is now known as lifelike [07:33] except i dont understand where and HOW to use that :) [07:38] ActionParsnip: if i run a bash script with: cd $(dirname $0) || datadir=$(date +%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S) || minicom -w -C $datadir.txt [07:38] how can I kill the minicom process? [07:38] than i will run it with crontab every 5mins :) [07:38] that seems to be the easiest way for me to do this.. === Argure|AFK is now known as Argure [07:42] hello, i have added the user apache to a group called 'core'. then i have a folder to where i want to write using a PHP script. the permissions for the folder are as follows: Access: (0755/drwxr-xr-x) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 502/ core) How come I cannot write to the folder when I run my acript? [07:42] fyi root is also a member of 'core' [07:42] Dear all, Cedarview D2500 have dirver on kernel and Xorg? [07:43] paws: killall minicom should do it [07:44] any ideas? [07:44] nullp0inter: why, root has absolute power, so group membership is mooted by that fact [07:44] i tried that, ActionParsnip... but the minicom stays opened :) [07:44] i added killall right after the minicom -w -C $datadir.txt [07:45] ActionParsnip: , 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] onborad: its just some Intel GPU. The drivers are in a default install [07:45] nullp0inter: to write what? [07:45] nullp0inter: you can't just 'write' [07:46] which release version? [07:46] ActionParsnip? [07:46] ActionParsnip: , I just need to create log files [07:47] nullp0inter: you could add your user to the syslog group and get write access [07:47] ActionParsnip : apache will technically will be the writer in this case [07:47] onborad: the intel drivers have been a staple in Ubuntu and Linux at large for a long time [07:47] nullp0inter: what user does the apache service run as? [07:47] nullp0inter, 0755/drwxr-xr-x theres your problem [07:47] nullp0inter, needs to be 775 [07:48] dcherniv: nice catch [07:49] dcherniv : that worked beautifully [07:49] thanks to both of you! [07:49] appreciate it [07:50] nullp0inter: I'd look into what those numbers mean ;) [07:52] ActionParsnip : i know im terrible, i was just too focused in on apache, and the possible issues , this time it was simpler than i thought [07:52] nullp0inter, is the 775 based of bits? I was just watching a video on this a few days ago. I'm I even close? [07:55] yup there are 3×3 bits setting the permission [07:55] ActionParsnip:How can I find source code ? I use 12.10 have problem on D2500 [07:55] onborad: why do you want the source code? [07:56] so its the bits that are interested, outputting it as octal number is just for convinience [07:56] interesting* [07:57] ActionParsnip: boot 12.10 have problem on D2500 ,so I need deb package [07:57] i need a usb wifi adapter that will work with ubuntu "out of the box" [07:57] onborad: the driver is already installed, its also in the liveCD when you boot that [07:57] anyone knows such?

[07:58] ActionParsnip: you mean gma500 in kernel driver ? [07:58] onborad: yes [07:58] ActionParsnip: yes [07:58] onborad: why don't you state your actual problem, maybe we can help. rather than asking for stuff as it pops into your head [07:59] I want to get around to memorizing how to set those. I think the guy I was watching was setting things in the 600 range for security, it would be good to know on the fly. [07:59] dwarder: no mini-pci clot in the system? [07:59] ActionParsnip: i have non working wifi on my vgn-nr285e sony notebook [07:59] ActionParsnip: usb would be more universal [07:59] dwarder: how is usb more universal? [08:00] dwarder: mini pci is standardised, it will also be neater as you won't have a device jutting out of your system [08:00] ActionParsnip: i can hook up it to different boxes? [08:00] ActionParsnip: usb is a must [08:00] gulag2012: the numbers for permission are based on 4 for read, 2 for write, 1 for execute. then the three numbers refer to user, then group, then other.

[08:17] Haswell: transmission is clean and simple [08:18] Haswell: also can have a web ui enabled which transgui (also in the repos) can connect to. Allowing you to manage torrents remotely [08:18] ActionParsnip, what about qbittorrent? don't you like?

I believe there is a button to enable it [08:26] ActionParsnip: yes, I do that... but no matter what I choose, it always logs into the default [08:26] DogP: if you have autologin enabled, it should remember the last session [08:27] DogP: or are you not using that? [08:27] ActionParsnip: and yeah, onboard works in unity-greeter, but I can't switch desktop environments, so I'd be fine with gtk-greeter or gdm, which does work correctly, but no keyboard :P [08:27] ActionParsnip: no auto-login... and I'd like to be able to change desktop environments [08:28] DogP: http://askubuntu.com/questions/185052/how-to-enable-onboard-in-lightdm-gtk-greeter [08:28] http://library.gnome.org/admin/gdm/stable/configuration.html.en <-- DogP...

[08:31] DogP: I see [08:31] vi [08:31] editor [08:31] almoxarife: that might do what I want... I'll see if that works, thanks [08:31] DogP: :) [08:32] danhi: sudo vi /var/spool/mail/root maybe..... [08:32] ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1412058/ [08:32] danhi: why are you doing this anyway? [08:32] onborad: seems to be using the right driver [08:32] ActionParsnip im logged with root user [08:33] danhi: then you don't need sudo [08:33] danhi: root login is not advised or necessary either [08:33] you are right . but not fill up screen . [08:33] onborad: the only way I have seen those chips work is by using an xorg.conf file. [08:33] Hey 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? [08:34] berdy: does yournetwork not support dhcp? [08:34] dr_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] ActionParsnip, I want it to be static [08:34] unless it's not necessary [08:34] berdy: but if you request dhcp, do you get a reply? [08:34] ActionParsnip:can you provide xorg.conf ? [08:35] ActionParsnip, sorry, I don't understand. You mean if I don't use a static ip? [08:35] First time using ubuntu server after using arch for quite some time. [08:36] berdy: yes, if you request an IP via dhcp does it succeed? [08:36] berdy: the server OS is near identical in its commands [08:36] onborad: there is no single xorg.conf [08:36] danhi: 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 content [08:36] onborad: its a very complex file, I can hash you one up but it's hit and miss to if it willwork [08:37] I will provide xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log file [08:37] berdy: if you read between the lines. If the DHCP fails then the network adapter isn't working. [08:38] berdy: think outside the box [08:38] It works [08:38] ActionParsnip:which lead to the issue? [08:38] dhcp works and it says "DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255" [08:38] berdy: great the interface is up and communicating. When you set the IP statically, can you ping your default gateway? [08:39] My router says the gateway is 255.255.255.0 [08:39] but this just gave 255.255.255.255 [08:39] should I try .255 instead? [08:39] berdy: dhcp will broadcast to the network, so 255.255.255.255 will be used [08:39] hi i couldnt make the folder sharing working in virtualbox, anyone helps? [08:40] For whatever reason (with no change to the static config) it's now working.

[08:45] ActionParsnip what do you think should i remove the /var/spool/mail/root ? [08:45] ActionParsnip and almoxarife : thanks!

[08:51] depends on how it installed the stuff. the script may have a remove option [08:52] Eagleman: did the script provide an un-install? [08:52] almoxarife the system runs on network only and you can access only if you are connected to network.. bit Suspicious [08:53] i dont even see a script at that url [08:53] danhi: what system?

[08:56] :) [08:57] ActionParsnip ubuntu was an mistake coz i have two server runing one ubuntu and centos thought it was on ubuntu.. [08:57] danhi: so the system with the issue is running centos? [08:57] ActionParsnip yep [08:57] danhi: then I suggest you ask in the centos channel [08:57] the right answer is not always the correct one [08:58] ActionParsnip i see now that im on wrong place :D [08:59] danhi: indeed :D [08:59] 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 editor [08:59] almoxarife: depends on your interpretation of 'right' ;) [09:01] hi all [09:01] how to find which are all the packages depends on X package [09:01] is there a way to find out in ubuntu [09:01] ActionParsnip: how often do you think you are answering/helping mail spammer(noobs) ?? :) [09:01] prem: apt-rdepends should tell you [09:02] almoxarife: mail spammers are not 'noobs' [09:02] prem: use synaptic, its easy, it spoon feeds you that info [09:03] almoxarife, 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-panel [09:03] almoxarife, will synaptic tell that also [09:03] prem: yes, that too [09:03] prem: for example. apt-rdepends pidgin shows: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1412095 [09:04] almoxarife nothing has to do me and spamm, i just see that my box was used to spam. [09:04] danhi: there you go, spammer by proxy, blame the machine [09:05] prem: on my raring system: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1412096/ [09:06] prem: you just need the top lot, the next block are the deps of the first package listed.

[09:09] almoxarife thats what i was looking for, it did not [09:10] hi [09:10] chanserv will help me ? :p [09:10] Eagleman: cool, what was it? [09:10] almoxarife What was what? [09:10] danhi: just type: /join #centos [09:10] It did not deliver an uninstall script :P [09:11] Eagleman: oh, then you have alot of files in alot of places you need to manually remove [09:12] But what about the packages? [09:12] Eagleman: you didnt install via deb/apt/dpkg , the database has no idea those files exist [09:13] ActionParsnip :) [09:13] Great... ok thanks [09:14] Eagleman: is there a package for the install? [09:15] I used git clone, and then worked for there, the script did several things which i probally have to backtrace and clean everything myself [09:15] I beter think twice before using a script [09:17] Eagleman: you could analyse the install script [09:17] Yes, but if they had just delivered an uninstall script it would have been easier :) [09:19] Eagleman: well it's a 3rd party so technically they don't have to [09:19] Eagleman: you could contact the developers and ask how to remove it [09:19] ciao [09:20] i do see a lot of files that it installed in /usr/local/bin [09:25] Hi === fan is now known as Guest31871 [09:29] Hi !

[09:32] jasper22, have you tried restarting networking? works fine for me [09:32] yes.. I tryed [09:32] after adding IPs to /etc/hosts [09:32] hm [09:32] jasper22: if you open /etc/nsswitch.conf does the hosts line list 'files' first [09:33] hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 [09:34] Hmm i cant remember what i did, sorry [09:34] you could ask in #network [09:34] jasper22: and does /etc/host.conf list 'hosts' first? [09:34] i believe they knew [09:35] yes.. the very first line is: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost [09:35] !cfadmin === Argure is now known as Argure|AFK [09:36] how can I get the latest open source radeon drivers on ubuntu 12.04? [09:36] jasper22: does hosts.conf have the first uncommented line: order hosts,bind [09:36] sankey: remove the proprietary ones [09:37] ActionParsnip: here is my /etc/hosts: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1412134/ [09:37] ActionParsnip: 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) [09:38] i'm on ubuntu 12.04, and suspend doesn't work <-- that's basically my problem [09:39] i'm pretty sure it's a problem with drivers because on resume i can't even switch to TTY1 [09:40] hi [09:41] pihaea [09:41] i'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. [09:42] i can't upgrade to 3.5/3.6 because ubuntu doesn't offer non-pae versions [09:42] sankey: you can use the pae kernel on a non pae [09:42] sankey: not out of date, the other distros will use different kernel settings and different compile options andso forth [09:44] sankey: did you try the other suspend packages? s3 i think is one?

Version 3.2.0.30.32 (precise), package size 2 kB, installed size 31 kB [09:45] ah [09:47] ActionParsnip: about /etc/hosts problem - could it be because I un-installed 'dnsmasq' ? [09:48] sankey: forget what i said, i assumed pae was supported since noah was a bootcamp, seems not so [09:49] jasper22: maybe, not too sure tbh [09:49] Is it smart to rm -R /etc and then cp my rsnapshot backup back to /etc/? [09:50] ActionParsnip: ok, thanks, I'll try to restart the computer couple of times.. let see what happens [09:50] jasper22: what version of ubuntu did you un-install dnsmasq from? [09:50] almoxarife: 12.10 LTS [09:51] Eagleman: in livecd I suppose so. I recommend you rename the current one rather than deleting [09:51] jasper22: 12.10 isn't LTS [09:51] jasper22: pretty sure 12.10 and 12.04 require dnsmasq, didnt alot of other things get un-installed with dnsmasq also? [09:51] I cant do it when the OS is running? [09:51] jasper22: 12.04 is LTS and 10.04 is LTS [09:51] I am currently remote so i cant livecd do it [09:52] ActionParsnip: 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] Ooopss sorry - 12.04 [09:52] Eagleman: there are files like /etc/hostname and /etc/resolv.conf which you need for the OS to work [09:52] sankey: maybe [09:52] They are not loaded in the memory ? [09:52] almoxarife: no.. just dnsmasq [09:52] almoxarife: I _must_ run dnsmasq ? [09:52] Can we extend the root partition without booting from live CD? [09:52] The files will only be missing for a few minutes [09:53] jasper22: yeap, you need to re-install it [09:53] Eagleman: its still needed. If you keep those files you'll be ok.

[10:39] I just want my script to boot everytime I turn on my comptuer. [10:39] ActionParsnip: Yeah, they should, but I hear horror stories about the 7000's support with the OSS drivers. So I was wondering about the binary drivers [10:39] read the part on how to save and load it [10:40] It's hard to tell if they're doing anything special for them, or just testing with the latest kernel and labeling that hardware ubuntu compatible [10:40] Eagleman: Alright thanks [10:40] I used: Solution #2 /etc/network/if-pre-up.d and ../if-post-down.d [10:40] Ok. I solved my problem with /etc/hosts [10:40] What did you do jasper22 [10:40] Does ubuntu have better hardware support for macbooks?

So any distro with the same kernel will have similar support? [10:41] internetishard: no it doesn't have better hardware support for macbooks [10:41] althought everything looks correct but without dnsmasq it isn't working [10:41] internetishard: correct [10:41] Internet13 why do you need special support? [10:41] A macbook is still a pc [10:41] thank's all in this channel [10:42] internetishard: 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 heard [10:42] internetishard: you can have the same kernel version etc andhave different drivers and such enabled. [10:42] ActionParsnip: you know why they charge a price, please don't make those sort of silly comments [10:42] ActionParsnip: yeah, I'm just trying ot choose between distros - I have to use one for work [10:43] I always use arch linux, but ubuntu seems to claim some special MBP support [10:43] ikonia: all I can see is thatthey like to overcharge the blind. otherwise I have zero idea [10:43] Internet13 what is MBP support [10:43] What does it add?

I have a problem where I cannot connect to it until I log in. How can I make SSH and other things run before login? [13:33] Hello. I’m using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. i need to run an OCR process on about 20 scanned pages of a printed book. Can anyone recommend a tool available on Ubuntu for that task? [13:33] salmon: are you using password or ssh keys to authenticate? [13:34] ssh keys [13:34] What can explain sound not working via HDMI? [13:34] salmon: is your home encrypted? === Catbuntu is now known as Catbuntu|Lunch [13:34] jrib, It isn't [13:34] salmon: you're positive? [13:34] anyone using the ubuntu gmail integration? When I integrate launchpad of google calendar for example, I have nice launcher icon. When I integrate gmail however no icon is added [13:35] jrib, Not 100%, but I don't have any need to encrypt it nor I even remember doing it, Any way I can check? === adellam_ is now known as adellam [13:35] ujjain, you havent selected your digital out as default sound pipe? [13:35] go to sound settings -> output [13:35] No, but Test Sound is not even working [13:35] maybe a bios setting [13:35] salmon: 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 with [13:36] ujjain, laptop or desktop? [13:36] peterrus: desktop connecte to TV via HDMI [13:36] ujjain, onboard card or seperate graphics card? [13:36] onboard. [13:36] hmm [13:36] but there is a seperate graphics card, but it does not have hdmi [13:36] jrib, problem is, it's a headless server. I'm only able to login by typing in a keyboard blindly. [13:36] ujjain, and what is the output called? in sound settings [13:37] There is HDMI, Digital Output, Analog Output, [13:37] salmon, doesnt it have a serial terminal port? [13:37] ujjain, and try digital output instead of hdmi? [13:37] I tried, tested all 3 [13:37] if it still doesnt work. use 'alsamixer' to see if nothing is muted (MM) or set to zero volume [13:37] salmon: 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 then [13:38] salmon: 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 login [13:39] each users home directory contains a .Private file/folder [13:39] that contains their encrypted homedir [13:39] jrib, 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] salmon: you can see the discussion about what to do with an encrypted home at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys#Troubleshooting [13:39] so if that file is present and isn't zero in size [13:39] its probably an encrypted homedir [13:39] salmon: see what peterrus says [13:40] salmon: 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] I get a connection refused error [13:41] salmon: pastebin "ssh -v user@host" [13:41] Hey all [13:41] (·.·)/ [13:42] jrib, Do I pastebin the output? [13:42] salmon: sure [13:42] jrib, http://pastebin.com/XLeDwzFw [13:42] This is after login [13:42] salmon: erm, right. You would want to do it before logging in [13:43] Ok, I'll reboot and try again [13:43] salmon: wait [13:43] salmon: just log out [13:43] salmon: hit ctrl-d [13:44] jrib, That doesn't do the trick, I can still ssh [13:44] Well.. basically how do you create desktop shortcuts in GNOME 3.6? [13:44] salmon: erm ok [13:44] (gnome shell not unity) [13:46] jrib, http://pastebin.com/GMEECV5p [13:48] salmon: you have a default sshd_config? [13:48] guys what the hell is drw-rwSr-- [13:48] sheikhmak: setgid [13:48] jrib, Yes, pretty sure I do. Haven't messed with it [13:48] drw-rwSr-- jrib never seen an S before? [13:48] sheikhmak: it's setgid [13:49] salmon: that seems strange. Create another user to debug [13:49] those are the permissions on my bind server is that okay? [13:49] sheikhmak: if that's how it was installed, then it's likely ok [13:50] jrib, Ok, also the script that I set to autostart in /etc/ini,d still hasn't run, if that helps on anything [13:50] salmon: have you tried removing that script? What's the script? [13:50] onborad: 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, [13:51] jrib, 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. [13:52] OK [13:52] Lachezar:you are well better gay! [13:52] onborad: WTF? [13:52] WTF? [13:52] what ? [13:53] onborad: Exactly! WTF? [13:53] salmon: remove the script so we can focus on ssh; create a new user to debug [13:53] salmon: I have to leave though; I'll be back in an hour or two [13:54] jrib, Ok, I'll still be here unless I manage to fix it, thanks for the help so far [13:54] salmon: it's definitely not default behavior. If ssh wasn't running at all, you'd just get a timeout, not a connection refused [13:54] salmon: so maybe there's some firewall that you disable when you login? I don't know; just guessing [13:55] jrib, I just manually stopped the ssh deamon and I get exactly the same error message [13:56] salmon: firewall issue [13:56] I've just switched to ubuntu from arch and am trying to configure a system that automatically logs in then launches a fullscreen X program, with no window manager, which I had previously achieved through a simple .xinitrc file. Can someone suggest how I would go about the same thing with 12.04? === xander is now known as Guest38605 [13:56] salmon: can you ping ip/port? [13:57] I can ping the IP, but not the port [13:57] is it okay to run SMART tests on a drive while at the same time using test disk to probe it for partitions? [13:58] I have a good ui improvement. Maybe the settings could have additional label stating that window manager selection is in login screen... [13:58] almoxarife, should I try pinging it before login? [13:58] it's difficult to find from the login screen [13:58] salmon: yes, sshd running, yeah [13:59] hello [14:01] Is cloning the same thing as making a duplicate image of the disk? [14:02] salmon: 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 ssh [14:02] almoxarife, So pinging it before login results the same, I can ping IP but not IP:22. [14:02] Does anyone here help noobs? [14:03] I have simple questions. [14:03] jrib, As soon as it boots it gives me a login prompt. [14:03] we have complex answers [14:03] salmon: didn't you say you didn't have a monitor? [14:03] salmon: do you access to the servers syslog? [14:04] If that's what it takes to have them answered, then great. [14:04] jrib, I did before, not anymore. [14:04] almoxarife, I have full access to the server [14:04] I am having a bit of trouble with Gigolo and SSH file access to my server. It works... sort of.... but I can't specify a specific folder to mount. It gives me the option, but then ignores it and mounts to ~/ on the server instead. [14:05] almoxarife, Also, IP:22 doesn't ping even while the sshd is running [14:05] salmon: so lets see the file /var/log/syslog [14:05] Will trade nudes for help. === webfox_ is now known as webfox [14:06] !ask | Guest38605 [14:06] Guest38605: 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).

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] Guest38605, right ok, my bad [14:09] Guest38605: yes, and I wouldn't recommend it. [14:09] Kostkon: No worries bud :) [14:09] Pici: Thank you. [14:09] Guest38605, no worries it is then :P [14:09] Guest38605: although making an image usually means you're creating a file that contains the data that is in the hardrive. [14:10] Pici: But it's still sufficient to have just an image of the drive to backup in case anything goes wrong while using test disk, correct? [14:11] MIglior Sito di Annunci http://www.tradeaffiliations.com/script/redirect.php?a=2XpjQ&b=eMZH5 [14:11] Guest38605: sure [14:11] jrib, How should I check that I have 2 instances?

This SMART data paradoxically says it's assessment is OK? That the overall assessment is OK? This doesn't seem right to me out of intuition, but then again I am a noob, I could be completely wrong. [14:19] Emanon, the little 5-10px black bar at the top of the display which is currently marked as primary === bradleyalexander is now known as bac [14:20] Guest38605, the main smart things to look for are relocated blocks [14:20] I don't mean to switch their position I mean to set which monitor windows open in by default and whatnot. [14:21] Emanon, yes [14:22] hi [14:23] Hi [14:23] can someone explain me how to change my pseudo? [14:23] Solution to sound not working via HDMI. Ubuntu has it disabled by default for Radeon cards via HDMI. You have to edit the kernel boot options. - Linux can never be successful as a desktop OS if users have to use the command-line to get basic functionality working. [14:24] WHo says windows does not use command in the background with every action you do? [14:24] Think about that === root__ is now known as wouitmil [14:25] Escott: The only thing I see that has anything to do with blocks is runtime-bad-block total valued at 0. Is that relevant, and if so, a good or bad thing? [14:25] Guest38605, 0 bad blocks is good. if you want to paste the entire output i can scan it [14:26] Guest38605, paste.ubuntu.com [14:26] quit [14:27] does someone use tabletc? [14:27] tablet [14:27] Escott: Uh I don't think there is an option to copy or paste. I am using ubuntu 12.04 disks to look at this information. I can try to screencapture and send you that? [14:28] Guest38605, you could do a screenshot or open a terminal and try sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda [14:30] Eagleman, the point is that hardware always works plug-and-play in Windows and often takes effort in Ubuntu. The fact that graphical interfaces use commands in the background is not the point. The point that you would have to use console commands as a desktop user. [14:31] ujjain: Discussing OS politics, their prevalence or use, shortcomings, strengths and weaknesses is not on-topic here. This is exclusively for support. [14:31] sure, I understand :) [14:31] escott: I am going to send you a screenshot because I am currently probing the disk with test disk for other partitions and I don't want to interfere whilst simultaneously running a SMART test. [14:31] ujjain: Thanks! :) [14:33] jrib, almoxarife, So I added "/etc/init.d/ssh start" to /etc/rc.local and that fixed the problem [14:36] hey! i have problems with unity, and found a workaround but not sure how to apply it?

[14:42] I shall add that I've installed likewise-open, joined the machine to a domain (succeeded) and rebooted it [14:43] cristian_c, set will show all those [14:43] usr13: 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 matter [14:43] hilo, depends on the permissions of the user and the goal of the chroot [14:43] the cause of the issue may be setting up a root password or it may be due to something likewise-open did [14:44] either way, it's unexpected behaviour [14:44] escott, set returns much code [14:44] MaxFrames: Sure is. [14:44] escott, I'd like a list of variables [14:45] cristian_c, its all in there [14:45] cristian_c: set | less [14:46] MaxFrames: Did you follow some sort of guide when setting up likewise-open?

[14:47] cristian_c: first page here shows vars === mquin_ is now known as mquin [14:47] ok [14:47] usr13: yes; anyway I just installed likewise-open and likewise-open-gui, I used the GUI which is very straightforward, and I joined the domain. It succeeded (confirmed, domain side, the computer account was created). then I rebooted [14:47] I had done it in the past, did not have this problem [14:47] escott, thanks. Method in the post doesn't seem to work (adding that option to my config fails the service on a restart). No longer bothering with it. [14:48] MaxFrames: YOu're obviously leaving out a detail that is key to what has caused the problem. What does ls /home say? Do you still have the user dir? [14:49] yes, there is a dir with the username [14:50] MaxFrames: You said "yes" to the question "Did you follow a guide somewhere on installing likewise-open". Right? Can you point me to that guide you followed? [14:50] MaxFrames: Or have you forgotten where it is? Or was it in the internet at all? [14:50] Escott: Sorry for the lag, it took me a while to upload these. Here is the SMART data. http://imageshack.us/content_round.php?page=done&l=img26/34/workspace1002d.png [14:51] Escott: http://imageshack.us/content_round.php?page=done&l=img138/322/workspace1003y.png [14:51] Escott:http://imageshack.us/content_round.php?page=done&l=img443/5746/workspace1005.png [14:51] Escott: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/22/workspace1006.png/ [14:51] MaxFrames: I suppose it is possible that you've somehow changed permissions for the home dir. Take a look and see. ls -l /home/ [14:51] usr13: it is in the internet and if you can read Italian here it is http://www.comunecampagnano.it/gnu/mini-howto/Ubuntu_join_dominio_Windows/ubuntu_join_dominio_windows.pdf [14:52] Escott: That third link didn't look to be clickable. Here's a better one http://imageshack.us/content_round.php?page=done&l=img443/5746/workspace1005.png [14:52] permissions are as follows: "dr-x------ 3 sysadmin sysadmin 4096 nov 28 17:30 sysadmin" [14:54] Guest38605, hardware ecc recovered is also pretty high [14:54] Escott: What does it mean? [14:54] hard to say with something like that. i would keep good backups, but as long as its functioning i guess its ok [14:55] Escott: I can't remember if I told you this already, but I am a noob. [14:55] 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? [14:56] MaxFrames: 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] usr13: 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] Guest38605, 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 dates [14:57] usr13: 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 issue [14:57] Bower^, logging out and logging in [14:57] MaxFrames: I think you said that your Ubuntu installation is the guest in a Virtual Machine? Is that correct? [14:57] correct [14:57] hi all [14:58] hy [14:58] hi amr [14:58] where u from [14:58] i from indonesia [14:58] I've also seen "/etc/default" is part of that briefly shown error message [14:58] MaxFrames: df |pastebinit #What does that say? [14:58] am from egypt [14:59] wlc :) [14:59] If I'm trying to run something that throws me the error "ffmpeg lacks libx264, streaming will not work!" - and I know that I've compiled ffmpeg with libx264 from scratch, is there anything else I can do to troubleshoot or is it almost certainly a bug? [14:59] it says that pastebinit is not installed [14:59] notwist: see what it's linked against [14:59] validate it was compiled and linked against the right libraries [15:00] MaxFrames: And then it goes on to say how to install it? [15:00] I'm installing it [15:00] MaxFrames: apt-get install pastebinit [15:00] ikonia: the software im trying to run (emit server) doesnt seem to have any configuration files regarding where to look for codecs [15:01] notwist: that's not what I said [15:01] then what are you saying [15:01] usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1412616/ [15:01] notwist: see what it's linked against [15:01] validate it was compiled and linked against the right libraries [15:02] ikonia: how will it help me if you just repeat what you just said, obviously I don [15:02] don't understand [15:02] notwist: ok, I'll leave you to it. [15:02] nice, this pastebinit [15:02] anyway, it doesn't look like I'm low on space [15:03] ikonia: thanks a million mate [15:03] is there a PPA that will provide a 3.2 kernel on 11.10? [15:03] ikonia: honestly can't see why you're in the channel to begin with if you're not interested in helping [15:03] ironfroggy: why not just use 12.04 instead, that has 3.2 by default [15:03] ironfroggy: I'd not advise that [15:03] MaxFrames: ls -l ~/ |pastebinit [15:03] ironfroggy: xorg-edgers maybe? [15:04] MaxFrames: /home/sysadmin is your users home-dir? you don't have writeaccess to is, this might cause errors on graphical logins [15:04] to it* [15:04] ironfroggy: is there a reason you want the 3.2 kernel ? [15:04] that is my home dir indeed [15:04] MaxFrames: "ls -ld ~" [15:04] ikonia: because the rt2800usb driver in 3.0 doesn't include my specific device ID, but it does in 3.2 [15:04] but I ran the command from root since I cannot logon as that user [15:04] notwist: ldd path/to/the/tool [15:05] ironfroggy: does it still actually work, or is the lack of device ID stopping it from working ? [15:05] it doesnt work [15:05] the driver doesn't recognize the drive, becasue it isn't in its list of device IDs [15:05] *the device [15:05] ironfroggy: have you looked at the ubuntu backports repo ? [15:05] ironfroggy: what is stopping you from using 12.04? [15:05] that's frustrating [15:06] MaxFrames: you showed "dr-x------ 3 sysadmin sysadmin 4096 nov 28 17:30 sysadmin" and theres no write-access to the dir, repair it (chmod u+w ~) [15:06] if file contains characters then How do i do that? [15:06] TakeItEZ: Thank you. (I didn't see that: dr-x------ ) [15:06] if grep return characters [15:06] ThinkT510: i could and likely will, i was just checking my otpions [15:06] MaxFrames: err, sudo chmod u+w /home/sysadmin [15:06] we have had some issue reported on our laptops with 12.04 and the nvidia drivers tho [15:06] TakeItEZ: I wonder how or why he did that? [15:06] usr13: people do odd things... [15:07] I would like some help with a question on 12.10 and dnsmasq. Does anyone know where the upstream DNS servers are now stored? They are not in /etc/resolv.conf or /var/run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf.any information or pointers to documentation gratefully received - thanks in advance [15:07] success! I can logon [15:07] ironfroggy: as long as you know ppas are unsupported (even moreso for kernel ppas) [15:07] MaxFrames: things can be so easy ... [15:08] what do you think had happened to remove write access to the dir? [15:08] I get this: No supported AMD display adapters were found... Where is the fglrx driver setup setting? [15:08] MaxFrames: the only one that can remove write access is root or the folder owner, so either of them ran something they shouldnt [15:08] MaxFrames: search your/roots history for chmod commands [15:09] the sequence was: 1) sudo gedit /etc/sudoers => I saw the remark "you MUST edit this file from root using visudo" [15:10] 2) sudo passwd root => I chose a password [15:10] 3) visudo => added a line to the file and saved it [15:10] that's all [15:10] why did you run "sudo passwd root"? the root user is disabled [15:10] Codex_, do you have radeon 2xxx/3xxx/4xxx and 12.10? [15:10] notwist: apparently it's not, since the command succeeded [15:11] I followed this guide http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2009/09/ubuntu-tips-how-to-login-using-su-command-su-gives-authentication-failure-error-message/ === Black is now known as Guest75710 [15:11] MaxFrames: just because the command succeeded doesnt mean the root user isnt disabled [15:11] MaxFrames, next time use "sudo -i" to get an interactive root shell [15:11] notwist, its not disabled now [15:11] MaxFrames: it is locked until someone sets a password [15:11] ^ [15:11] MaxFrames: setting a root password re-enables the root account (which you shouldn't do) [15:11] ok, so now how do I disable it back? [15:11] MaxFrames, sudo passwd -l root [15:12] and why does the sudoers file say that it MUST be edited as root (caps lock are not mine, it's really written this way) [15:12] MaxFrames: make sure your user can use sudo before locking it agaian... [15:12] can anybody tell me how to connect my mobile to my laptop over wifi to transfer files both ways ?? [15:12] hello. is h264 on totem-gstreamer broken or do i just need to install a package for playback to work? [15:12] MaxFrames, its not saying it must be edited as root, but that it must be edited with visudo [15:12] MaxFrames: sudo visudo is the command to edit suoders file [15:12] Hello there. Does someone have a tutorial to share, where it's explained how to install necessary on GNU/Linux to practice php ? I used to use xampp but it's too buggy... [15:12] is there a simple driver I can install from software center for my linksys wireless adapter? [15:13] lJ6il: do you mean installing a webserver (apache) with php? [15:13] nothingspecial, yes. [15:13] lJ6il: you could probably just run something like "sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5" [15:14] whoops, forgot to mention. totem gstreamer on 12.04 [15:14] nothingspecial, sorry. I was talking to notwist :) [15:14] the remark says "This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root", so I did "su", got "authentication failed", and you know the rest [15:14] lJ6il: then try localhost port 80 and see if you get a page [15:14] myhero: use ssh, set up sftpd on both, use an adroid app for the mobile, use ???? filezilla on the lappy? [15:14] MaxFrames: sudo visudo is the command to edit suoders file (for the future) [15:14] thanks, doing that now [15:14] almoxarife: guide me.... [15:14] MaxFrames: doing something as "root" and using sudo are often used interchangably [15:15] notwist, ok ! [15:15] MaxFrames, 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 visudo [15:15] myhero: you forgot 'please' [15:15] is there a simple driver I can install from software center for my linksys wireless adapter? [15:15] MaxFrames: when people say use root they often don't mean do a sudo -i or su [15:15] lJ6il: if it all works out you should be able to replace index.html with index.php and then start trying out some code [15:15] TakeItEZ: Was gone for a while. Did you have him change permissions to his home dir yet? [15:15] almoxarife: yea same [15:15] hi, I am trying: hostname -f and getting: hostname: Name or service not known. In my /etc/hosts I have the lines: 127.0.0.1 localhost and 189.xxx.39.154 gr-groperador02-linux gr-operador02-linux.local . So what to do? [15:16] when I try to save the file in visudo, the default path is /etc/sudoers.tmp [15:16] why the .tmp? [15:16] usr13: "nobody changed it before, ididn't do anything" :) but solved now [15:16] fellipe, normally you would have 127.0.1.1 YOUR_LOCAL_HOSTNAME_HERE in there as well [15:16] !hostname | fellipe [15:16] fellipe: Use hostname 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. [15:16] I think I need to overwrite the original, don't I? [15:16] TakeItEZ: chmod 744 /home/sysadmin [15:16] what tar option do I need to pull a specific file out of a tar archive? [15:16] MaxFrames: no, its ok, the wrapper does [15:17] TakeItEZ: Ok [15:17] usr13: 755 even or better 700 [15:17] MaxFrames: when you save/exit it will [15:17] almoxarife: ?? [15:17] hilo: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-unix-extracting-specific-files/ [15:17] escott, well, I added the 127.0.1.1 line just as 127.0.0.1 [15:17] MaxFrames: it does it because... http://www.sudo.ws/visudo.man.html [15:18] MaxFrames: visudo creates a sudoers.tmp, makes a syntax-check and copies the file to sudoers if no errors [15:18] myhero: what? [15:19] escott, still getting the error [15:19] ok, let's see if it works [15:19] almoxarife: i have micromax A25 mobile with wifi hotspot and linux 12.10 [15:19] Anyone 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 anywhere [15:19] notwist, localhost gives me this : http://dpaste.org/jdXK4/ [15:20] bkfitz: not very difficult [15:20] bkfitz: i wouldn't worry [15:20] uberamd: 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 lan [15:20] success! big time! [15:20] bkfitz: depends on the router but generally you can't access it from outside [15:21] looking at this guy http://www.dlink.com/us/en/home-solutions/connect/routers/-/media/Consumer_Products/DIR/DIR%20826L/Datasheet/DIR-826L_DS.pdf [15:21] TakeItEZ: Thanks for stepping int.... :) [15:21] uberamd: maybe as a fstab ftp [15:22] lJ6il: do you have a /var/www/ folder with an index.html file in it? [15:22] lJ6il: can you run sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [15:23] Yes for the first question. [15:23] lJ6il: try restarting the apache server per my second message and see if that changes anything [15:23] for the second one : http://dpaste.org/LO4vs/ [15:23] bkfitz: that data sheet is incredibly vague, looks like you may need to use their stupid cloud website to access stuff remotely === chris_ is now known as hairy [15:24] uberamd: yeah sorry meant to link to spec webpage... but i think you are right... html only access from cloud... or ftp [15:24] bkfitz: I generally stick with Asus routers for that purpose, their usb ports support a variety of access methods including ftp, smb, etc. [15:24] codfather, [15:24] lJ6il: check out /var/log/apache2/error.log [15:25] uberamd: thx for the advise... but cifs isn't really a good solution for access from the outside right? ports 139 etc bad [15:25] bkfitz: right and thats where a sftp option is useful. I avoid FTP as much as I can for anything I care about [15:25] notwist, empty file. [15:26] uberamd: you mean because ftp is plain text [15:26] lJ6il: what do you get if you run ps -e | grep apache [15:26] is it running? [15:26] bkfitz: exactly why sftp is >>>> ftp [15:27] lJ6il: if im not mistaken it looks like something is already using your port 80, so thats either a dead apache process or something else [15:27] notwist, there's also a strange thing : 127.0.1.1 [15:27] don't know why it's like that [15:27] uberamd: yeah... and you think the asus' generally support sftp and i could 'mount' that as local storage through fstab [15:27] nothing for the grep apache [15:27] bkfitz: thats the route i went. plus asus has great support for ddwrt which i love [15:28] lJ6il: what happens if you run sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start [15:28] same? [15:28] uberamd: 10-4 - also wanted to give ddwrt a shot [15:28] :/ 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 cursor [15:29] uberamd: 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 product [15:29] notwist, same [15:30] uberamd: this one looks pretty sweet and supports something called ASUS AiCloud - http://www.asus.com/Networks/Wireless_Routers/RTAC66U/ [15:30] lJ6il: you could try looking at http://serverfault.com/questions/103426/apache2-could-not-reliably-determine-the-servers-fully-qualified-domain-name [15:31] lJ6il: although that in itself shouldnt stop apache from starting [15:31] uberamd: 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] bkfitz: looks great, and has VPN functionality built in [15:31] lJ6il: 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-quot [15:31] bkfitz: which is a plus in my book [15:31] uberamd: yeah... still not safe protocol for access from outside except sftp [15:32] though [15:32] uberamd: wonder how the android and ios apps do it [15:32] Ok, thanks notwist i'm going to look at your links... and study them [15:32] lJ6il: if I were you id try installing the "nmap" portscanner and then running "nmap localhost", see whats responding on port 80 [15:33] lJ61il: check your logs /var/log/apache2/ [15:33] ok thanks. Gonna look at it. [15:34] bkfitz, empty files [15:34] lJ6il: check your syslog [15:34] /var/log [15:34] Should I try to recover the data from my hdd BEFORE I run chkdsk on it, even though I already have an image of the drive? [15:35] bkfitz, same thing [15:35] Thanks for your help notwist and bkfitz but i have to go, unfortunately [15:35] Or am I safe to go ahead and mess around with the HDD? [15:35] lJ6il: good luck [15:35] i keep your links notwist [15:35] thanks :) [15:35] ba-bye [15:35] hi all [15:37] Hi [15:38] the sound went off suddenly on my ubuntu 11.10 os [15:38] pls help me [15:39] yugandhar: check alsamixer to see if anything is muted [15:41] ThinkT510: when i open youtube it is not coming [15:42] sound is not getting if i play anything through the browser or players [15:42] mm, ok, so "smb://[servername]" works, but for some reason, it asks me for domain credentials instead of using the credentials I'm currently logged on as [15:43] so what's the point of likewise-open? I can logon as a windows domain user, but to access resources on a windows machine I need to supply the same credentials again :/ [15:44] Hi everyone ! im having a headache from some operating system troubles, anyone specialised in this ? [15:44] batelje_: in headaches? go to the doctor [15:44] MaxFrames better ask in #samba [15:44] !details | batelje_ [15:44] batelje_: Please give us full details.

Everything goes smooth until it wants to list the partitions. I have a single partition (windows C:) and it is not listed...

[16:06] MonkeyDust, doesn't the -vv switch just add more output without changing the functionality? [16:06] I have two Ubuntu virtual machines running on Virtual Box. One, 10.04, is just a standard VM image. The other is a 12.04 image built via Vagrant. 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] hilo: correct [16:06] not being rude...but if every store that carries electronics across america sells linksys wifi cards.....SHOULDNT YOU BUILD IN SUPPORT !? [16:06] hilo no, that's -v (verbose) -- -vv (double v) makes it incremental [16:07] Evo was working fine yesterday [16:08] atlus: did you reboot after installing what ever it is that you installed? [16:09] is it possible to do an ubuntu minimal installation using only a wifi connection? [16:10] Hi, 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 manually [16:10] atlus, 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 price [16:10] MonkeyDust, man pages say -vv increases verbosity more (and this is how I've used it in the past) [16:10] scarleo, yes... and the script is [16:10] hilo: -vv increases verbosity, but it will tell you why or why not files will be copied [16:11] TakeItEZ, ah okay [16:11] hilo i use rsync -avv for my daily backups, it says 'is up to date', thanks to -vv [16:11] escott, it is executing rtcwake but the pc doesn't sleep when I run it from cron [16:11] its not rude its one of the top retaillers for wifi products and the card has been out for over 3 years....and ndswrapper doesnt even work on a fresh install of ubuntu from the software center.. [16:12] atlus: did you reboot after installing what ever it is that you installed? [16:12] yes [16:12] escott, it's from here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/61708/automatically-sleep-and-wake-up-at-specific-times [16:13] scarleo, thats a horrible tutorial [16:13] atlus: did the install and reboot happen within the last couple of hours? [16:13] escott, probably :) But anywa, the pc sleeps when I run the script, bt not whe I run it with cron [16:13] yes [16:13] scarleo, you should NEVER have root crontab executing something out of the users home folder. NEVER NEVER NEVER [16:14] hilo: sry it won't tell you "why not", just rechecked [16:14] scarleo, in your case you likely have an encrypted home or something. move the script to /root [16:14] MonkeyDust, The "is up to date" is just added verbosity, -vv does not change the behavior of rsync in any functional manner [16:14] err "whx" [16:14] why [16:14] TakeItEZ, crap [16:14] escott, Yes I do but the script is in /usr/local/bin/suspend_until [16:15] hey guys how can i make ubuntu boot by default in windows boot manager? [16:15] atlus: open a terminal, and run this exactly as written, sudo apt-get install pastebinit && sudo pastebinit /var/log/syslog [16:15] scarleo, then you aren't following the link you sent me [16:15] Any ideas why rsync would transfer files that I have confirmed have identical checksums? Specifically when using the -c switch. === atrius_away is now known as atrius [16:16] sdfsdf: sudo mv /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober /etc/grub.d/08_os-prober && sudo update-grub [16:16] escott, no that is correct, but I followed everything except for that since I didn't want root to execute things from my /home/user folder [16:17] scarleo, why dont you just show me the script you are running [16:17] sdfsdf: a wubi install? [16:17] almoxarife, im sure it is [16:18] sdfsdf: oops, forget my line [16:18] almoxarife, it is dualboot, it is installed, not a live cd [16:18] escott, this is the script: http://pastie.org/5484470 [16:19] escott, crontab: 40 17 * * * /home/myhomefolder/suspend_until 17:42 (just for testing) [16:19] escott, oh, sorry [16:19] scarleo, if the script is in /usr/local thats where crontab should point [16:20] escott, crontab: 40 17 * * * /usr/local/bin/suspend_until 17:42 (just for testing) [16:20] sdfsdf: not a wubi install if you have grub boot loader [16:20] almoxarife, it sais hd 0.0 no wubildr then it goes to hd 1 and loads [16:20] escott, yes, I know :) sorry about that, it has the /usr/local/bin/suspend_until path [16:21] Anyone have issues with Scourge 0.21.1-1 making saves that crash the game when you try to load them? [16:21] almoxarife, hd(0,0): NTFS5: No wubildr to be exact [16:21] escott, I also removed sudo from the script since it is already supposed to run as root [16:23] do i have to create partitions before i run unetbootin? i only have windows drive C, so I install unetbootin on drive C and then then ubuntu live instalation doesn't find the "root filesystem" and no partitions are listed... i just want to format everything and wipe off windows and end up with a single ubuntu OS [16:23] How do increase the number ppp interfaces? [16:24] scarleo, I would add a "touch /root/cron_rtcwake" as the second line of the script to verify that it is being run. [16:25] any help? [16:25] fstx: there shouldn't be a limitation except your memory-size [16:25] escott, I have made some tests with that as well, I tried adding a simple echo "Running" > /root/test.txt and it is running [16:26] scarleo, so either it is not getting the arguments correctly (you can just echo $1 > /root/test.txt) or rtcwake is not working in the cron script [16:28] escott, yes It might be the argument, I'll try echo that [16:28] escott, I can't see why rtcwake wouldn't work from cron? [16:29] scarleo, i cant think of a reason either [16:30] Hi I just downloaded the amd 12.10 drivers from their site. To install it, it is recommended to delete the older fglrx drivers, what are the commands to do that?

[16:36] http://onubuntu.blogspot.in/2011/10/manually-removing-fglrx-from-ubuntu.html [16:37] should i try this^ [16:37] scarleo, there are various weird bits at the end (the various echos that wont be seen, the clear for a non-existent terminal, the xset when you may not have an xsession) but those are all after the rtcwake. you can echo the command that would be run to a file [16:38] TakeItEZ: I get pptpctrl[15040]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f775da8531c sp 00007fffedc96718 error 4 in libc-2.13.so[7f775d952000+18 d000] when I try to connect [16:38] scarleo, are you sure it is in roots crontab [16:38] TakeItEZ: I have 6 running connections [16:39] escott, Ok, I'll check that and try without. Yes it's root's crontab === loup is now known as Guest11274 [16:43] escott, that did it! Thanks! Not sure if it was the full path or the other stuff but it's working now [16:44] scarleo, crontab doesn't run through a normal shell so the PATH isnt always what you expect but /usr/sbin i would have thought would be ok [16:45] escott, yes, I think that might have been it, thank you very much [16:48] if i want to change a user's login shell to /bin/nologin what file do i need to edit? [16:49] nucc1: sudo chsh -s [16:49] TakeItEZ, it changes it permanently?

[16:56] nucc1, that only prevents remote access. better is to sudo passwd -l bob; and generate an auth_key and give that auth_key to bob [16:57] escott, yes, bob only has remote access to this machine. and i will remove the account after he's done grabbing his files. [17:01] so all i needed to do was change his shell to /usr/lib/sftp-server :) [17:05] nucc1, change it to /bin/false. but again that only prevents some kinds of access [17:05] escott, /bin/false prevents sftp access === Catbuntu|Lunch is now known as Catbuntu [17:09] Hey [17:09] yeH [17:09] * Catbuntu is back [17:10] * nucc1 catbuntu must live in the west coast [17:10] Nope, I'm from Catalonia lol [17:10] ah [17:10] Catalan LoCo Rules!

[17:13] i.e. one I pulled off of xampp [17:13] jakey, file references may be wrong [17:13] jakey consider using lampp [17:13] jakey: Why aren't you using the one that php comes with? [17:13] jakey, you may be better off adding the portions you want in the one supplied by your hosting plan [17:14] they dont supply [17:14] as far as im aware [17:14] jakey: Are you running Ubuntu? === daniel__ is now known as danielbauwens [17:14] yes [17:14] jakey, if they don't supply you should be looking at a .htaccess [17:14] jakey: Then php comes with php.ini.

[18:32] :'( Can someone please help me with my clickpad. This is miserable. [18:32] myhero: then check ifconfig to verify connectivity. Then should be able to ssh into that IP, assuming the mobile isn't set up to block that [18:32] zykotick9: yes, but it is a way to identify what user github thinks you are [18:32] zykotick9: see how its dustinlacewell and then imagescape?

[18:38] ldlework: though actually, I'm as confused as zykotick9 now that I think about it, why are you using the ssh binary for github? [18:38] dak0: "sudo apt-get install openbox" then log out and choose openbox in the login menu - done [18:38] jakey: that's not really ubuntu-related. Try #ubuntu-offtopic [18:38] zykotick9: That's all ? Thank you sir, haha Ubuntu is awesome. [18:38] ldlework: 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 though [18:38] trism: this is *merely* a way to determine what user github thinks you are. It is an official perscribed method for doing so. [18:39] Hello, is there anyone free who may be able to help a Ubuntu Server Noob out? xDD [18:39] trism: git uses ssh afterall [18:40] owo anyone?

It now becomes stuck at "checking battery", and I am no longer able to connect to the internet. I tried accessing terminal and checking my connection but it comes back as no connection :x [18:42] trism: the whole point of this, is that `ssh git@gitscape.com` isn't listening to ~/.ssh/config [18:42] myhero: i'm downloading the manual from here http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CC4QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.iballbaton.com%2FDownload%2F118%2FiB-WRA150N%2520User%2520Guide.pdf&ei=j5W_UIS-KsO9ywGphYHACA&usg=AFQjCNGwfbS_bGOiXMv9HsaFgBC-IC2lSw [18:42] zykotick9: thank you.

[18:43] crimsonmane: yes its the same router [18:43] myhero: page 60 [18:44] ldlework: hadn't tried -i, I agree the -F is odd (and works fine on all my systems), did you mess with any other configs? what ubuntu version is this?

[19:25] Used vncviewer for the first time in a long time on ubuntu 12.10 -- man it sucks repainting. What happened? [19:25] MarcN: Are you going Linux to Linux or Linux to some other OS? [19:25] trism: okay, so mount the flash drive and enter "cp (origin directory)~(destination)"? [19:27] MarcN, 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 ago [19:27] Shaun__: 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, etc [19:27] hilo, I'll give x11vnc a shot. [19:28] mr_chris, yes ubuntu to ubuntu, both 12.10 [19:29] trism: "sudo /home/shaun/teamspeak3-server_linux-x86/to/dev/sdb1"? owo [19:30] trism: "sudo cp ..."* [19:30] MarcN, 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. [19:31] hilo, installing now. Really disappointing that it doesn't work out of the box with Unity, now that Unity is the default. [19:32] Shaun__: that /dev/sdb1 concerns me, that's a device - when it should be a mount point [19:32] Shaun__: /dev/sdb1 would be the device name, above I mounted it at /mnt, so you would copy to to /mnt [19:32] Shaun__: again though, check to see what name gets assigned to your flash drive when you plug it in [19:32] trism: great minds and fools ;) === xander is now known as Guest17807 [19:33] MarcN, agreed. [19:33] How do you change the boot order of partitions in a HDD in unbuntu? [19:33] trism: Okay, and so, "sudo cp /home/shaun/teamspeak3-server_linux-x86/to/mnt" after I mount whatever name is listed in dmesg? [19:34] And sorry, I know, I am a terrible newb with Linux :x . [19:34] Shaun__: you need a space between the file and destination, where your "/to" is [19:34] Shaun__: is teamspeak3-server_linux-x86 a directory? [19:35] trism: Yes, som -R at the end, right? [19:35] so* [19:35] Shaun__: if so it would look like: sudo cp -R /home/shaun/teamspeak3-server_linux-x86 /mnt; [19:35] Shaun__: yep [19:36] Shaun__: fyi, for cp you can use -R or -r they are the same [19:36] trism: Okay, will try that., thank you so much :D [19:36] zykotick9: yeah I don't know why I always bother with the shift key [19:36] zykotick9: Thanks, well, atleast I did know that... well, I know that caps normally don't matter in commands =\ [19:36] trism: for some other commands it's required ;) [19:37] Shaun__: oh, R vs r is important with other stuff, cp is an exception [19:37] zykotick9: That's about one of the few things I do know... I need to study Linux ;.; [19:37] i have an error message on my server 10.04 fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 how do i get rid of this [19:38] zykotick9: Really? owo . Eh... someone teach me Ubuntu plz >.< . [19:38] I need a recommendation for an AntiVirus program. I'm running 12.04. Thanks. [19:38] MarcN, for your reference, I start my server with this "sudo x11vnc -safer -allow ~/whitelist.IP -once -usepw -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth -display :0 -loop200,2 -xkb -noxdamage #-ncache 10 -ncache_cr" For that to work you have to set a password first with "x11vnc -storepasswd" and make a simple text file with IP address's to allow. You can remove the respective switches for those features to use it without them though. [19:38] How do you change the boot order of partitions in a HDD using ubuntu? [19:39] Is it possible? [19:39] !virus | vcarney [19:39] vcarney: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [19:39] Gonna go try this now... thanks for your help trism and zykotick9 [19:40] ubottu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Linuxvirus [19:41] vcarney, ubottu's a bot, you should not address it directly. [19:41] vcarney, linux viruses may exist, however they're rare. [19:41] TheLordOfTime: yeah, figured that out [19:42] or, not easy to get. [19:42] Is it possible to change the boot order of partitions in a HDD using ubuntu? [19:42] TheLordOfTime: any antivirus suggestions [19:42] vcarney, i've only ever seen 1 linux virus in 500000 linux systems i've worked with [19:42] vcarney, the factoid that zykotick9 linked you is correct, there's no need for a linux antivirus. [19:42] vcarney, just... don't be doing questionable things with youir linux system,. [19:42] hilo, and the key is using x11vnc -ncache 10 [19:42] vcarney, that's how you get viruses :P [19:43] that and user stupidity, but that's not something i'll argue here... [19:43] TheLordOfTime: what about flash [19:43] that falls into the category of user stupidity. [19:43] How do you change the boot order of partitions in a HDD using ubuntu?

[19:47] so trying to install quantal 12.10 using netboot pxe. had to add mlx4_en drivers to the initrd.gz but look at this mess. http://goo.gl/jL4EF interfaces are not emX not ethX and don't stay persistent either. The game stopper is the install doesn't see the local disk! [19:47] 12.04 LTS - to get it to work with onboard GPU i had to use "nomoeset" then once i was in i installed the propriety drivers and everything was fine. i updated my GPU to nvidia gt610, used "nomodeset" it kinda boots and then goes to terminal asks me to log in. i do that. stays at terminal. any ideas on where to go from there? all help welcome :) [19:48] trism: Well, I did as you said, but I am still having issues =\ . dmesg pulls up the info of my flash drive and all, but then it states that there is "no caching page mode present" and will not mount the drive =\ [19:48] Is it possible to change which partition boots on on your HDD using unbuntu? [19:48] trism: dmesg lists the drive as sdb1 [19:49] What is the ubuntu virtuialization irc? [19:49] HTC-DZ: i'd check "grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log" [19:49] I have dual monitors... how do I stop my mouse from getting stuck between them when I try to move it from one monitor to another? this is so annoying! [19:50] (with unity of course) [19:50] a [19:50] zykotick hang on let me type that in? anything in particular im looking for? im a linux noob [19:50] I just recieved my sweet new lenovo x223 tablet. I want to grab the window key, install ubuntu and than install window as a virtual machine [19:50] !tab | HTC-DZ [19:50] HTC-DZ: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [19:50] HTC-DZ: EE is errors [19:50] Is it possible to change which partition boots on your HDD? [19:52] HTC-DZ: I know your pain :,( though, to be fair and honest, I am sure you know much more than I do :P [19:52] HTC-DZ: actually, it might be better to "less /var/log/Xorg.0.log" and just look for the lines with EE and perhaps the following lines as well [19:53] hilo, spoke too soon. x11vnc is just as bad with Unity. Looks like I should explore the cinnamon WM or such. [19:53] Shaun__: that no caching page mode present is fine, what command did you use to mount the drive? [19:53] HTC-DZ, at the prompt, do, sudo service lightdm or gdm stop, ( whichever display manager you have installed ) , the sudo apt-get install nvidia-current , then sudo nvidia-xconfig , then reboot [19:53] Is it possible to change which partition boots on your HDD? [19:53] "sudo mount /dev/sdb1" [19:54] Shaun__: you need to specify a mount point if it isn't in fstab, so try: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt; (assuming /mnt isn't being used at the moment, which it usually isn't) [19:54] trism: Oh owo . Okay, thanks lol... sorry for my noobiness xDD . [19:54] Is it possible to change which partition boots on your HDD? [19:54] zykotick9: the terminal is on @-desktop:~$. do i type "less /var/log/Xorg.0.log" there? [19:54] Shaun__: no problem, just takes some getting used to [19:55] HTC-DZ: sure [19:55] HTC-DZ: q to quit the less program, btw [19:56] Is it possible to change which partition boots on your HDD? [19:56] Guys... I don't know what I've done, but I've lost the 'ctrl-super-arrow' function to resize a window to left/right. Even dragging the window to the edge won't resize it like it used to. Is there something I can reset to get back this functionality? [19:56] anyone know where this setting is supposed to be in gconf on ubuntu 12? /apps/compiz-1/plugins/unityshell/screen0/options [19:56] rsumi_werk: 12.10? if so the settings are in dconf/gsettings now, check out dconf-editor [19:57] I don't know if it's related, but when I hold the 'super' key, I don't get the shortcuts screen anymore; it just shows number on my applications in the taskbar. [19:58] rsumi_werk: though I imagine most of those should be in ccsm [19:58] frozenlock: sounds like you were playing with the compiz plugins, check the grid plugin is enable [19:58] trism: what's the difference between dconf and gconf? [19:59] any tips? [19:59] noooo.i typed out everything :( wait i retype [20:00] rsumi_werk: dconf is a backend for gsettings, which is basically the new gconf (everything is moving to gsettings instead) [20:00] xangua: Thanks. I wasn't playing with that per se (added a second screen). CompizConfig confirms it's enabled :( [20:01] I need to run a really old ver of 'cpp', ver 2.95. I don't suppose anyone knows of a 64 bit package for it? [20:02] EE: nvidia gpu at pci:2.0.0 not supported by 173.14.35 EE: nvidia driver. EE failed to initialise nvidia graphics device. EE: screens found but none of them have useful configuration [20:02] trism: It worked, thanks so much! Maybe I'll go buy one of those "Ubuntu for dummies" books or something :P . Having no formal classes, and only hands on experience with Windows... I know nothing of Ubuntu >.< so I really, really appreciate your help :D [20:03] HTC-DZ: 173? have you tried nvidia-current instead? [20:03] Hi. Could someone help me, plz. I try to create a single-file shortcut for multiple files in ubuntu: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2091537 [20:05] dryhay: looks like ubuntuforums.org is down right now, perhaps explaining to the channel what you are doing would help. [20:05] zykotick9: you mean i should off my pc, pull the card. log in with onboard GPU, get into linux as normal, select the nvidia current, shutdown. plug in gt610, restart machine and see what happens? the reason im using 173 is coz with the nvidia current my onboard GPU couldnt even run openarena. but with 173 it works on full graphics. [20:05] cmus help [20:05] Error: selecting any output plugin: couldn't initialize required output plugin [20:05] HTC-DZ: no, just try installing nvidia-current, will mean your onboard won't work though... [20:06] HTC-DZ: disabling in BIOS (if possible) might help? [20:06] zykotick9: ok, another instance of this problem is here (single-file shortcut for multiple files in ubuntu): http://forums.devshed.com/python-programming-11/python-shortcut-for-multiple-files-935627.html [20:07] well my bios is set to disable onboard if i have card in pci. how would i install nvidia-current from the terminal? [20:07] Will changing a partition type to bootable erase the data?! [20:07] HTC-DZ: "sudo apt-get install nvidia-current" should work [20:08] Why does the "Type your command" bar keeps over anything I have on my desktop? [20:09] i pressed the windows button, clicked the dash opener manually, closed it again, and this thing doesnt go away [20:09] HELLO. I HAVE BEEN ON THIS CHANNEL FOR OVER HALF AN HOUR. NO ONE HAS YET ANSWERED MY SINGLE QUESTION. SORRY TO USE CAPS BUT I HOPE THIS IS CATCHING YOUR ATTENTION. MY QUESTION IS "IF I EDIT THE PARTITION TO MAKE IT BOOTABLE, WILL THAT REFORMAT THE DRIVE AND DELETE THE DATA? [20:09] !caps | Guest17807 [20:09] Guest17807: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [20:09] !attitude | Guest17807 [20:09] Guest17807: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [20:10] Guest17807, 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] Chotaz`: did you press esc? [20:10] Guest17807, making a partition bootable does not normally harm the data [20:10] Dougie187, yeah i keep doing that [20:10] how bout alt? [20:11] Compdoc: TheLordOfTime: thank you guys [20:11] Dougie187, aswell :) [20:11] Chotaz`: I'm pretty sure what you're describing is the HUD. But I'm not sure why it won't go away. === Albastos|off is now known as Albastos [20:12] Dougie187, I'm pretty sure I found out what to call it other than the "type your command" bar [20:12] xD [20:12] zykotick9: nvidia-current is already the newest version. 0 installed, 0 upgraded, 0 to remove, 0 not upgraded [20:12] Dougie187, but yeah, i've tried everything and it wont go away [20:12] I'll just restart lightdm [20:13] HTC-DZ: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? [20:13] For me (on 12.04) clicking anything under the network manager dropdown does absolutely nothing (can't disconnect, switch networks, bring up connection info, etc). Any ideas on how to trouble shoot this? [20:14] HTC-DZ: well, it seems Xorg is trying to use the 173 driver? sorry man - i'm not sure how you should preceed. hopefully someone else has some ideas. [20:14] mickster04: let me go try that [20:15] mickster04: same message as before === atrius is now known as atrius_away [20:19] MarcN: Give this a try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [20:19] MarcN: It's about as fast as physically sitting in front of the machine, even over an internet connection. [20:19] MarcN: And it all goes over SSH. [20:24] i installed ubuntu desktop on my server now how do i remove it [20:25] mega2: apt === dpac is now known as dpac|away [20:25] mega2: sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop [20:25] mega2: Same way you installed it. Right? [20:26] usr13 tried that after i rebooted it was still there [20:29] mega2, you are going to have to look at the Depends: stanza of that meta package and look at what it installed [20:31] mega2, example: apt-cache show ubuntu-desktop | awk '/Depends:/,/Recommends:/' [20:32] mega2, 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] :D ok guys im 100% up and running :D [20:33] what i did was removed my pci-e card. booted up using onboard gpu. then changed drivers to nvidia-current. then i shut down. inserted my pci-e card again and voila :D working with unity 3D too :) [20:34] mega2, easy way out back up all server related things and start fresh [20:36] you guys think i should leave well alone or try the "version current-updates" drivers and see if that works? [20:36] cant do that i would not be able to set it up the same way again [20:36] Hi. My laptop cannot recover from suspension [20:36] keyboard led flashes like a Kernel panic error [20:37] with a lot of help from people in here and others i have talked to its works fine at the minute [20:37] i had to remove batery because power button didn't work [20:37] mega2, you could pay for support also . that is just a option [20:39] mega2: is there a reason why you want to *remove* the desktop? Or do you just not want to use it? [20:39] hey, am not able to change file permissions with chmod, what could be the problem? [20:40] Marvin_Leo: fat/ntfs file system by chance? [20:40] Hi 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] Marvin_Leo: show us in a !pastebin what command you gave and the output please [20:41] Hey everyone! [20:41] zykotick9, 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? [20:42] can i use encryption on an already used partition without reformating it? so that i will keep the complete data? [20:42] Marvin_Leo: ntfs won't support chmod - use a better filesystem ;) [20:42] guntbert, just realised why. My files are on a ntfs filesystem [20:43] zykotick9, I get it now :) I owe you one :) [20:43] Marvin_Leo: I see :-), never mind my comment then [20:43] guntbert, thanks anyway :) [20:43] That's weird... NTFS not supporting chmod... is there another way to change permissions on a NTFS filesystem, or are you forced into using Windows? [20:44] SonikkuAmerica: 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 stuff [20:44] Does 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] SonikkuAmerica: nothing "weird" about MS's promprietary filesystem not supporting posix, that's business as usual (for MS) [20:45] Dougie187: for the second, have a look at "trap" on bash [20:45] zykotick9: Sometimes the "S" can feel like a "$" [20:45] !ot [20:45] #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! [20:46] Yeah, I did digress... XD [20:46] iceroot: is there a way to trap any signal, and on a process that is already running? (Lets say something started in a GUI?) [20:48] Dougie187: i guess watching the PID may work [20:48] Dougie187: a little script which will get a PID and will look if the pid is still there [20:48] Dougie187: but maybe there is a much more common solution i dont know [20:48] iceroot: Oh ok. Thanks [20:50] hi guys [20:50] hey [20:51] Dougie187, have you heard of that album 187 he wrote by spice 1 ?

[21:47] what do i need to do when aa-status take a really long time to execute and then is putting alot of lines to STDOUT? [21:48] dr_willis: Not a null-modem, per se... it's the two dial-up modems (DC and laptop) connected together with a phone cable. [21:48] LABcrab: i recall doing somthing similer years back with my amiga. I had to tell the modem app/settings to just 'connect' not dial. I recall teh 'ATA' command just answered.

[21:54] but the perl script we use for making new vm's doesn't support dashes in hostnames [21:54] Fore example, I opened a folder and I moved the folder around the screen and it 'erased' the background [21:54] Hi [21:54] what I exactly type?

[22:04] if it's a raid1, it only needs to see one device, to start rebuilding to the spare [22:04] backtrack [22:04] montassar: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" now [22:04] zvacet: is that done from software sources?

[22:05] montassar: show them to us, pleaase [22:05] hm [22:05] Guest28803: #backtrack-linux is the channel for backtrack, not here [22:05] Does encryption nullify disk imaging? I recently decrypted my operating system drive but I'm trying to fix my non system drive, it was encrypted as a mounted volume and can only be decrypted as such. So I am making an image of it before I do anything else. Can imaged encrypted data be okay to use as backup? [22:05] RickZilla: if you are going to upgrade a major release, you want to purge them [22:05] sda3 is fine, it is just flagged as a spare [22:06] ejv, it only sees one device total. it needs 2. at least one member of the raid, and the spare [22:06] nothing works (removing, adding it etc) [22:06] Any ideas why my HDD wont boot, or, what I can do to boot the install DVD when the graphics are all messed up? [22:06] xangua: Got it, I'll just purge them later when it comes time to upgrade [22:06] RickZilla: you can do it that way or edit source list or try http://maketecheasier.com/search-manage-ppas-with-y-ppa-manager/2011/01/20 === RobinScherbatsky is now known as Apocalipstick [22:06] no [22:06] raid1 only needs 1 device to start [22:06] zvacet: I use duckduckgo for that, it has a !ppa bang [22:06] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1413440/ [22:06] oke thanks [22:06] RickZilla: you just want to make the easy hardy, good luck ;) [22:07] derpderpd: true but it will moan [22:07] harder* [22:07] i think he means "in order for a rebuild to begin" numerically you need 2 [22:07] derpderpd, sda3 is the only drive at all showing to your mdadm [22:07] derpderpd, Where is the RAID1 member? [22:07] (the source and the spare) [22:07] xangua, not trying to make anything hard, just wanted to remove any potential conflicts [22:07] montassar: close all other programs like softwarecenter, synaptic, and terminals that run apt or dpkg [22:07] sda3 was previously disk 1 of the 2 disk array [22:07] until sdb3 failed [22:07] montassar: I'd just reboot, then try the update [22:07] montassar, what does lsof /var/lib/apt/lists/lock say ? [22:07] RickZilla: ppa-purge will remove any potential conflicts :) [22:08] xangua, k, I'll wait until upgrade time to do so [22:08] derpderpd: can you start the array with just sda3 ? [22:08] nothing! [22:08] ejv: no, wont start (no active devices etc) [22:08] derpderpd, what is the point of RAID1 on a single disk? You are killing the crap out of your performance. [22:08] sda3 flagged as spare, wont become active [22:09] hilo are you high [22:09] derpderpd, no. [22:09] derpderpd, are you? [22:09] scroll up and read again [22:09] i've said it twice, sdb3 failed [22:09] derpderpd, Sum it up and resend, the log here is a mess and you didn't tag me in your responses [22:10] should I reboot now? [22:10] disk has been replaced, i want to resolve this but sda3 is tagged as spare [22:11] derpderpd: Is it mounted? [22:11] no it isnt, cant even run the array [22:11] hello guys please how do i change the show desktop shortcut from ctrl+super+D to my own like custom shortcut key [22:12] hi all... anyone know if it's possible and/or easy to enable writeback disk caching in Ubuntu? [22:12] derpderpd: You can't run [ sudo mount /dev/sda3 ]? [22:12] derpderpd, What was your set up when it was functioning [22:12] SonikkuAmerica: i think you jumped into the conversation late, he's trying to recover a failed RAID1 [22:13] ejv: Oh, yep I did. Go ahead, I dunno a thing about RAID [22:13] BOOT: /dev/md0: /dev/sda1 + /dev/sdb1 (i have recovered this) [22:13] I only know SCSI [22:13] and such [22:13] derpderpd: the fact that sda3 is marked as a spare tells me there's an issue with it's synchronization, i'd be suspicious of read errors to that disk as well and start looking into /var/log/messages / dmesg [22:13] root: /dev/md1: /dev/sda3 + /dev/sdb3 [22:13] there are no errors on sda in dmesg, only sdb [22:13] mikky: What's your GUI? [22:14] what does SMART say about sda ? [22:14] mikky: (Unity, KDE, etc.)? [22:14] SonikkuAmerica, Unity [22:15] ejv: smart for sda is fine [22:15] and so is its state as you can see here https://gist.github.com/4219875 [22:16] mikky: Try using gconf-editor (run it from a terminal) === Apocalipstick is now known as shojo [22:16] i'm really getting desperate. [22:17] derpderpd: if you're sure sda3 is consistent you can always try --assume-clean, which will skip any resync, but i'd be wary of trying write any data to it until it's known to be functioning [22:17] mikky: Or, if Compiz is enabled, install CompizConfig ( [ sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager ] ) and run it [22:17] LABcrab: What's up? [22:17] ejv: so, --create it again?

Whenever I set them, if 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? [22:19] machicola: besides that try #ubuntu-offtopic or #freenode [22:19] derpderpd: let me warn you again, --create --assume-clean destroys metadata [22:19] mikky: see http://askubuntu.com/questions/27775/keyboard-shortcut-to-minimize-all-windows [22:19] great, thanks k1l [22:19] SonikkuAmerica, i have opened gconf-editor [22:19] what next should i do?

[22:20] obviously no backup [22:20] this is just a cheap server [22:20] derpderpd: i'd really contact the linux raid mailing list, because we're venturing outside the realm of support I can provide for you [22:20] when i do `sudo aa-status --verbose > aa-status.log` [22:20] Nik05: put "> filename" [22:20] it doesnt put it in the file [22:21] derpderpd: i'm not really comfortable telling you what exactly you need to do, only hinting towards methods some people use [22:21] when i use | tee file, it doesnt display to stdout or file [22:21] Nik05: it replaces the file. if you want append use ">>" [22:21] crimsonmane the file empty [22:21] mikky: OK, I made a mistake.

[22:22] derpderpd: register for the gmane.linux.raid newsgroup (it's free, but necessary before messages are posted to the board) and explain your case there [22:23] crimsonmane when i use "sudo aa-status | tee file" i need to output directly on stdout and in the file right? [22:23] *i need to get output [22:23] LABcrab: That's pretty hardcore stuff, trying to get a DC to work in Ubuntu [22:23] ejv: thanks, but i'll risk it [22:23] derpderpd: i really wouldn't, but you've been warned [22:23] crimsonmane or do i get problem cause of sudo? [22:24] Hello! I 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) [22:24] --create is a destructive operation to metadata on the members, and you may just be shooting yourself in the foot [22:24] SonikkuAmerica: Why? They listed the steps. [22:24] LABcrab: Actually I clicked on your link and got a 404 [22:24] Nik05: if ">" doesn't work then maybe you dont have permission to, in that folder, create a file [22:25] crimsonmane it does create the file, and i have permissions [22:25] i can use sudo su... but dont want to :P [22:25] ejv: since its only 1 drive then i dont see how metadata being recreated will do anything, if something is corrupted on sda then it will be corrupted on sdb when it resyncs [22:26] SonikkuAmerica: Sorry. The link is http://www.dreamcast-scene.com/guides/pc-dc-server-guide-win7/ [22:26] or wait crimsonmane maybe i can use script [22:27] LABcrab: OK, I assume you installed mgetty, ppp, and gnome-ppp [22:28] SonikkuAmerica: All of these are installed :) (BTW does your nick reference Sonic The Hedgehog?) [22:28] LABcrab: It does! [22:28] ok crimsonmane im using script, and this does work. No idea whats going wrong with > [22:28] LABcrab: How'dya guess? And yes, b4 you ask, I'm from America. [22:29] SonikkuAmerica: :P [22:29] LABcrab: (LOL) The next thing to do is run "gnome-ppp" in a terminal [22:29] LABcrab: as root [22:30] sonic? man you guys are old :p [22:30] ejv: Mario Sonic Vancouver 2012 for the win! :-) [22:30] ejv: Old? Barely... [22:30] Wow fail on me, Vancouver 2010 it is. [22:30] LABcrab: I'll betcha there's a Rio 2012 release coming, but I digress [22:31] LABcrab: Go run [ sudo gnome-ppp ] in terminal [22:31] Hi! [22:31] ElixirVitae: 'ello guv-nor! [22:31] *guv'nor [22:32] Why does PPAs have different packages for different releases instead of one deb to rule them all? [22:32] ElixirVitae: Because some releases are still supported [22:32] Check the !topic [22:33] SonikkuAmerica: Isn't gnome-ppp's sole purpose to tell me my modem address (/dev/ttyACM0)? [22:33] Not that, SonikkuAmerica, I meant whether there is a difference? [22:33] LABcrab: (If you know where it is you can skip to the next step. [22:33] ) [22:33] Aren't they essentially same? [22:33] I could really use a had got some major errors that I have no clue what to do with. I tried to update from 12.4 to 12.10 and now when I start I freeze after sign in or it happens 10 after. Currently computer is not working. [22:33] SonikkuAmerica: Alright. [22:34] ElixirVitae: Not necessarily, there may be certain dependencies that newer versions have [22:34] i have 25 minutes to get this to work. [22:34] LABcrab: now run [ sudo gedit /etc/ppp/options ] [22:35] ElixirVitae: differnt releases ghave differnt versions of differnt libs. and thus need differnt compiled binaries [22:35] SonikkuAmerica: And populate it with the enclosed information? [22:35] labcrab you have to run gnu is not unix operating system [22:35] LABcrab: Yeah, here's a generic version: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=9VCPvczj [22:36] SonikkuAmerica: What do i put as ms-dns? Is OpenDNS fine? [22:36] pile drive that sucker [22:36] LABcrab: Stick whatever DNS you wanna connect to in the uncommented line [22:37] oki, got it. [22:37] LABcrab: If you connect via OpenDNS that's just fine [22:37] SonikkuAmerica: Perfect. :) [22:37] LABcrab: You set? [22:37] do a uname -R [22:37] and give me the output [22:38] SonikkuAmerica: Yup. :) [22:38] gambitfan: me? [22:38] yes you [22:38] 3.2.0-34-generic [22:38] right now [22:38] LABcrab: Okie-dokie, have fun with your DC! [22:38] yup that's the one we're looking for [22:38] 3.2.0-34-gerneric [22:39] SonikkuAmerica: Thanks, but i think i previously had no problems with those steps. Just some doubts with the DNS. [22:39] god what are we going to do with these generic guys [22:39] Thanks for effor though. [22:39] gambitfan: What's wrong with generic? === darkham is now known as krabador [22:39] LABcrab: i think it was trolling. [22:39] LABcrab: nothing, he was just trolling [22:39] and not very good trolling at that. [22:40] I 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) [22:41] Ampersand: That's a little weird... [22:41] Ampersand: (Sorry we didn't get to you soon enough) [22:41] no problem :) [22:41] SonikkuAmerica: Did you ever try out a Dreamcast server? [22:41] but i'm really puzzled here about this.. i mean it worked well until some time ago [22:42] LABcrab: Actually, no, but I have heard of things like Dreamlinux etc and wish I had one to try it out on... I loved playing DC when I was younger (I was about 6 when it came out) [22:42] and suddenly, all i see is the users' ID' rather than the aliases (and having a lot... i don't know who's who! :) [22:42] Ampersand: Is it saving aliases for all your other accounts? [22:42] yes [22:43] LABcrab: Oh damn! Dream cast! Sonic adventure 1&2 + Phantasy star online were the best! [22:43] i have no problem with GMail and XMPP [22:43] Guest12050: i bought it for homebrew more than for games. Games are pricey! [22:44] Homebrew? what? you mean like emulation? [22:44] Guest94098: Forgive my offtopicness but if you're feeling nostalgic for PSO get SRB2 here (http://srb2.org/) and then Google "SF94-serv" [22:44] Ampersand: OK... [22:44] Guest16401: Bleemcast! and the browser for now. [22:44] ejv: [>....................] recovery = 0.0% (204416/1394763640) finish=454.7min speed=51104K/sec [22:44] recreated it [22:44] thanks [22:44] seems to be working [22:45] aww hell thanks sonukkuamerica I'm not going to be able to get any work done now.\ [22:45] Ampersand: What version of Ubuntu are you using? [22:45] SonikkuAmerica, i use 12.10 [22:45] Guest94098: You're welcome, pardon the Doom-like gfx :P XD [22:45] Ampersand: OK... hold on [22:45] ok, thanks [22:46] derpderpd: im happy for you :) [22:46] derpderpd: let this be a lesson RAID != backup. Get a backup going ASAP. [22:47] Ampersand: There seem to be several bugs reported for this, but they're all rather indecisive about what's causing it... it was a known issue in 10.10 but was fixed in a telepathy-haze package update [22:47] anyone know the package that provides the gtk theme switcher in the system settings in kde? I asked in kubuntu, but it appears dead atm [22:47] I'm aware of that, however this is a free service and backing up terabytes isnt viable [22:47] I do back up the account information though [22:47] The Dreamcast server still does not work. Says "Waiting for ''Connect''". === yannu is now known as Yannu [22:48] guess it depnds on how much value you place on the data, a couple 1 or 2TB disks are pretty cheap these days [22:48] SonikkuAmerica, the thing is that it used to work well until some time ago. It suddenly did this, without me doing anything special.. I mean I don't remember installing something [22:48] should I try to reinstall Empathy maybe? [22:49] How would one use dnsmasq to allow one hostname to resolve to an ordered priorty list of IP addresses [22:49] Ampersand: If you haven't already, give it a shot (do a [ purge ], not a [ remove ]) [22:49] zoorg: does this help http://askubuntu.com/questions/144642/how-to-theme-up-kde [22:49] SonikkuAmerica, ok, i'll do it now, just a moment [22:49] IE foo.com -> 10.1.1.1 if down then 10.1.1.2 if down then 10.1.1.3 [22:49] purge Empathy or telepathy-haze? [22:50] or both? :) [22:50] guys is this normal in apparmor: "1027035 profiles are in complain mode"? [22:50] zykotick9: thanks, but I'm looking for the individual package in the repos [22:51] and almost all of them are /usr/sbin/dovecot//null-26//null-27//null-xxxxx [22:51] can someone translate this for ubuntu? [22:51] If the volume is partition-hosted (applies also to USB flash drives), in addition to the steps 1-3, do the following: [22:51] 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] In the Computer Management window, from the list on the left, select 'Disk Management' (within the Storage sub-tree). [22:51] Right-click the partition you want to decrypt and select 'Change Drive Letter and Paths'. [22:51] Guest14564: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:51] The 'Change Drive Letter and Paths' window should appear. If no drive letter is displayed in the window, click Add. Otherwise, click Cancel. [22:52] Guest14564: linux doesn't use lettered drives, we mount drives to directories, either in /media or /mnt [22:52] So what do i do now? It's not working, but it should be working! [22:52] Guest14564: we attach drives from their device location in /dev (such as /dev/sda1 or /dev/sdba) [22:52] kriskropd: you can mount things anywhere in the filesystem... === VD is now known as Guest49227 [22:53] zykotick9: "good practice" or w,e i know you can mount anywhere [22:53] LABcrab: You finished reading and following the instructions, right? [22:53] SonikkuAmerica: Yeah. [22:53] The problem is my Dreamcast won,t send a "Connect" command. [22:53] driver for ATI rage XL (Mach64) on board vga needed. i'd like to do update via terminal just don't know commands. i've looked over ubuntu forums. can't seem to install the driver [22:54] LABcrab: Are you using either Planetweb or dreamkey? [22:54] LABcrab: You need either of them [22:54] SonikkuAmerica: PlanetWeb. [22:55] i have five minutes left. :( [22:55] i have looked on my 'additional drivers' and it notifies me that 'no proprietary drivers are in use on this system' [22:56] LABcrab: This is in Internet Connections ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/1413526/ ), right? [22:56] Yes, à la lettre. [22:56] It would say incorrect user if that was the problem. [22:56] LABcrab: And DNS1 and DNS2 in PlanetWeb are both 0.0.0.0? [22:57] SonikkuAmerica: They are set to the OpenDNS DNSes and that doesn,t seem to affect outcome. [22:57] i'll BRB, I need to restart [22:58] Seems to be the same with PlanetWeb or DreamPassport. [22:59] LABcrab: They need to be set to 0.0.0.0 so that the /etc/ppp/options. (whatever it is) can be detected by DHCP [22:59] The OpenDNS stuff goes in that file [22:59] Ampersand: OK [23:00] LABcrab: as per http://paste.ubuntu.com/1413532/ [23:00] gah maybe i ought just give up .. ta [23:01] hi again! [23:01] Hey [23:01] I have the problem with the updating ubuntu 12.04 [23:02] montassar: What kind of problem? === root is now known as Guest79229 [23:03] I start updating from 12.04 to 12.10 with "sudo apt-get update", during the process, the laptop turned off [23:03] now, all the systemis going wrong [23:03] planning on installing wine and running amd's .exe for driver i hope that'll work. [23:03] This is taking way longer than it should. Thanks for the help, but it is still stuck. Chat later! [23:03] montassar: your power died whild doing a sudo apt-get update? [23:03] yep [23:03] dr_willis: Line stealing XD [23:03] Can't you run it again? [23:04] gigglefight: trying to install a video card driver with wine? [23:04] error! duplicte source or somthing like that [23:04] smiles. [23:04] montassar: that would be just a warning. and shouldent affect installing stuff [23:05] montassar: how exactly where you trying to go from 12.04 to 12.10 ? [23:05] montassar: Yeah, if you're really concerned about it, just edit your sources.list [23:05] thanks. 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. [23:06] gigglefight: err.. you dont use windows drivers on linux normally... [23:06] Gigglefight why not just use ubuntu's driver manager? [23:06] dr_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] but I can't update the systemany more, even the update manager wich I tried to update from, always died always with an error [23:06] !info winehq [23:06] Package winehq does not exist in quantal [23:06] ive never heard of winehq.. [23:07] darkhalo117: i have. i get there are no proprietary drivers available. [23:07] theres the wine channel called that i think [23:07] !wine [23:07] when 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] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [23:07] montassar: "It is impossible to install or remove any software"? [23:07] gigglefight: you dont use wine to install video card drivers., [23:07] I didn't try, I just want to update to 12.10.. [23:08] Clientalive, if you are using the LTE it will not install the beta software so packages will be left out [23:08] montassar: Does [ sudo apt-get install -f ] in a terminal work? [23:08] You can change that in update manager [23:08] montassar: You mean upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10? Update is somthing else. ;) [23:08] dr_willis: then what is there to use? the file from the site is an .exe [23:08] ClientAlive: if deps cannot be met then packages will not be installed. When they are satisfied they will come down [23:08] yes upgrade.. [23:08] gigglefight: no idea what you are doing.. but you DONT install video card drivers for your ati card with wine. [23:09] gigglefight: if the card is very old then it may be the FGLRX drivers no longer support it. [23:09] gigglefight: and the included open sourced drivers are what the card uses. [23:10] dr_willis: it just maybe. problem with this server board is that i need a pci express x1 gpu; pci-x option is rare and/or too expensive. its on board vga, is bare minimum. [23:10] so I have http://paste.ubuntu.com/1413548/ [23:11] dr_willis: yes. it's using open source [23:11] dr_willis: ...drivers [23:11] montassar: you dont upgrade from an old release to a newer one via 'sudo apt-get upgrade' [23:11] montassar try sudo apt-get update, first [23:11] montassar: exactly HOW are you trying to go from 12.04 to 12.10 ? [23:12] I did, afer that? [23:12] * MonkeyDust hasnt followed and keeps silent [23:12] sudo apt-get upgrade [23:12] upgrade - will upgrade the current release to the latest packges in the current release. NOT to the next release [23:13] Unless you have been messing with the sources.list ;) [23:13] darkhalo117: I run 12.04 lts (is that what you were referring to?). ActionParsnip: Does that apply to upgrades of packages that are installed on the system as well? [23:13] no I didn't [23:13] montassar: so im asking exactly HOW/what exactly have you done. you are trying to go from 12.04 to 12.10 correct? [23:14] correct [23:14] montassar: 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] err.. dist-upgrade does NOT upgrade to the next release either. [23:14] *redundnacy... Ugh! [23:14] !upgrade [23:14] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [23:15] !dist-upgrade [23:15] A 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] dr_willis: Oops, you're right. Use [ update-manager -c ] [23:15] actually i think theres some OTHER needed option for update-manager also [23:15] dr_willis: Only if you want the next development release [23:15] how do i install skype without any :i386 packages? (146 mb just for skype is ...) [23:15] The / -d / switch [23:16] hi, i can't install nvidia-173, because the packages on the repos are not supporting xorg 1.13 . I installed perfectly the .run package from nvidia, but i've 3d desktop issues, all right with 2d. what can i do? [23:16] or from LTS to a NON-LTS release i think.. but i always do clean installs. ;) [23:16] emx: you can't - skype IS 32bit, 64bit doesn't exist [23:16] emx: does skype provide a 64bit package? disk space is fairly abundant nowadays... [23:16] jrib: it's just the 32bit, with the required 32->64 libraries [23:17] zykotick9, jrib. i see, using a virtualbox is the way to go :P [23:17] emx: heh... [23:18] Hey guys, a buddy and I are using 10.10 server and we are having problems getting it connected to the internet. wonderd if you guys could give us some direction [23:18] !10.10 | Staiden [23:18] Staiden: Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) was the thirteenth release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on April 10th, 2012, see http://ubottu.com/y/maverick for details. [23:18] 10.10 is no longer supportes. [23:18] ahh [23:18] *supported [23:19] we were going to use that because we wanted to use open panel [23:19] But you can upgrade to at least Oneiric [23:19] Even better, Precise [23:19] Open panel? What's that? [23:20] its a open source Cpanel === matt_ is now known as Guest52133 [23:20] It doesn't work in Oneiric or Precise? [23:20] how do i activate mod_rewrite in apache? [23:20] not sure [23:20] dr_willis: just found the wine install driver .exe thing didn't work. thanks for menioning it. [23:20] emx: use a2enmod [23:20] we diddnt know if it would be compatible with the newer versions [23:21] Staiden: i recommend a clean install of Precise. It is supported til April 2017 [23:21] ok [23:21] sounds good to me :0 [23:21] :) [23:21] Staiden: OpenPanel now distributes a lightweight version of OpenPanel called OpenApp which is supported on all supported versions of Ubuntu [23:22] hello [23:22] sweet [23:23] I just installed byobu, and there aren't many settings under F9, how can I configure the hardstatus line? [23:23] I have found out my .bash_profile is not being read. `which sh` gives me /bin/sh, which is a symlink to dash. However, my .bashrc is being read. What is going on? [23:24] you guys rock, i should have been on here last night [23:24] Anyone know how to use dnsmasq to have one hostname resolve to multiple IP addresses (based on priority/availablity) [23:24] kandinski: what shell is your login shell? [23:24] on the other side, echo $SHELL says /bin/bash, and my login shell is... (I can see it in /etc/passwd, right?) [23:25] jrib, thanks [23:25] /bin/bash [23:25] kandinski: what makes you believe that .bash_profile is not being sourced? [23:25] See you later everyone! [23:26] jrib, I `$ exec $SHELL` to launch a new environment, and my $PATH remains unmodified [23:27] kandinski: .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 shell [23:27] nvm, fixed it by `apt-get purge byobu` and editing .screnrc by hand :) [23:27] whereas if I run by hand the `export PATH` comand I have, I see the new $PATH [23:28] jrib, hmm, so not any shell I launch from X? [23:28] * kandinski goes read documentation about differences between .bash_profile and .bashrc [23:28] jrib, is ubuntu standard in this behaviour? [23:29] kandinski: 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] kandinski: do you have ~/.profile and ~/.bashrc ? [23:29] jrib, thanks. will read difference between .bashrc (where I plop everything, really) and .bash_profile (which was empty until I read these instructions for rbenv) [23:30] kandinski: to a 'xterm -ls' (for login shell) and .bash_profile will be read.. I belive.. normal 'xterm' it will not [23:30] kandinski: you should notice that ~/.profile is not empty. PATH changes are something you should be doing in ~/.profile [23:30] I did have a .profile, but I now find that it will not be read now that I have a .bash_profile [23:30] kandinski: correct [23:31] oh, thanks everyone. I am writing now a fix to these instructions I found. is .profile ubuntu-only? [23:31] re-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 shown [23:31] these are the instructions: https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv [23:31] does Precise have a sever version? [23:31] I'd like to fix them so the next ubuntu user that finds them doesn't fall in the same trap I did [23:32] kandinski: I'm fairly certain I remember some users coming in here because of that page; would be nice to have it fixed [23:32] so a couple more questions. Is .profile ubuntu-only? If so, what's the rationale to deviate from the bash standard .bash_profile? [23:33] so the current info has a Zsh note. I will add a Ubuntu note along the lines of: [23:33] dr_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] "Ubuntu note: path modification should be done in .profile, not in .bash_profile." [23:34] kandinski: 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_profile [23:35] kandinski: http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bash.html talks about ~/.profile so I assume it's not ubuntu-specific [23:36] so it would be better to word it "ubuntu users are advised to add path changes to their .profile, not their .bash_profile" [23:36] kandinski: sure, that seems reasonable [23:37] link the 2 files. ;) [23:38] http://superuser.com/questions/278433/whats-the-difference-between-profile-and-bash-profile-and-when-do-you-config [23:38] kandinski: run: sudo cp /root/.bash $HOME; sudo cp /root/.profile $HOME; sudo chown $USER:$USER ~/.bashrc; sudo chown $USER:$USER ~/.profile; source ~/.bashrc and you will have a stock bashrc etc [23:38] hey can I ask for help here? I'm running Ubuntu but am having a problem with syncing Ipod library... should I be asking here or somewhere else ? [23:38] whats the best software to make a ubuntu install usb key when using windows 7 === nerd is now known as fire_wall [23:38] ActionParsnip: the stock files are in /etc/skel/ [23:39] Panik: here is fine [23:39] and then where it says "Restart your shell so the path changes take effect.", say `$ exec $SHELL -ls` [23:39] ok, clear [23:39] anyone know any reasonable open source POS systems for linux, ubuntu specifically? [23:39] ActionParsnip: that would be catastrophic for me; I have a very customised .bashrc [23:39] point of sale, hauck ? [23:39] kandinski: well just keep in mind that will only affect the current shell [23:39] * kandinski makes a note to save his dotfiles somewhere [23:40] crimsonmane: yes [23:40] jrib, but that's the problem that has been hounding me [23:40] hauck: LemonPOS [23:40] okay well I tried using Banshee, and uh Rhythmbox, now when I connect my ipod mini I see all my files and I'm trying to sync my new library so it deletes all my music on my ipod and then copies shit over, and its all fine and dandy until I disconnect my ipod then it like reverts back to my old library and just trips out [23:40] kandinski: afaik, you have to log out and back in if you are making changes to ~/.profile [23:40] I haven't logged in again since I installed rbenv, so it isn't working for me. I will add that this needs to be done until one logs in again. [23:40] some good info on .profile vs .bash_profile here [23:40] http://superuser.com/questions/183870/difference-between-bashrc-and-bash-profile [23:41] Panik: you have to "safely remove" or "eject" the ipod. it doesn't write the files immediately, it stores them in ram [23:41] jrib, I am 99.99% sure these instructions are written from and for MacOS [23:41] crimsonmane I did tho [23:41] I clicked eject in banshee [23:41] Panik: i can be of no further assistance. good luck. i hope all works out for you :( [23:41] when 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] lol thanks you evil person jk [23:41] lol === Monotoko is now known as Guest869 [23:42] does freenode have a ipod channel? [23:42] Panik: when you eject inside banshee does it unmount it from the filesystem? [23:42] yes [23:42] kandinski: probably, the terminal emulator might just spawn a login shell everytime [23:42] kandinski: I see [23:42] kandinski: OS_X is based on BSD. so it may not be using the same 'bash' as linux [23:42] you mean like within banshee ? [23:42] or from my file manager? [23:42] ola... [23:42] kandinski: try the .profile file at least :) [23:42] Panik: 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 thing [23:42] thanks everyone, though. I have fixed my problem and also found a way to fix the instructions for the project. Yay! [23:43] so I should sync my library with banshee then uh [23:43] i need to completely remove the existing java version and replace it with a specific version [23:43] what would the terminal command look like [23:43] how do i go about doing it? [23:43] never mounted or unmounted shit in terminal before [23:43] i tried locating the java package, but when i do a dpkg -l [23:43] ActionParsnip: I have also moved the .bashProfile info to .profile [23:43] Panik: Please, no need for bad language. [23:44] theres too many packages and i cannot even scroll up to the very top of my terminal console [23:44] shit, I still can't find asciidoc [23:44] grumble! [23:44] !language | kandinski [23:44] kandinski: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [23:45] Hello anyone can help me install Ubuntu? [23:45] LynnLea: you can have more then one java instaled and use the 'altneratives' system to select the one thtas used. [23:45] apologies [23:45] still, the expletive was warranted [23:45] Anyone willing to help me fix my problem: unable to find a medium containing a live file system [23:45] $expletive!, I still can't find asciidoc [23:45] hmmm [23:45] anyhow, thanks jrib, dr_willis and ActionParsnip, I learned new things today. [23:45] ok i have 1.6.0_24 [23:46] the application requires 1.6 [23:46] Anyone please I get this upon install when I restart the computer: unable to find a medium containing a live file system [23:46] how do i now install 1.6? [23:46] will there be any conflict? === Garr255_ is now known as Garr255 [23:46] well im going to get high and figure it out crimson [23:46] I'll try what you suggest tho [23:46] dr_willis: im just afraid of conflicts [23:46] and unmounting from something besides banshee [23:46] I cant install ubuntu I just get this: unable to find a medium containing a live file system [23:47] anyone know why? [23:47] LynnLea: sort of the whole point of the altneratives system is to not have conflicts. Or just fire up synaptic and remoive the other javas i guess. [23:47] !java [23:47] 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. [23:47] Roddan: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
