| Googol30 | I'm guessing "unknown host google.com" means I screwed something up? | 00:01 |
| devrand0m | ping 8.8.8.8 | 00:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Googol30: probably bad dns, does devrand0m's command reply ok? | 00:01 |
| devrand0m | cat /etc/resolv.conf ? | 00:01 |
| Kellur | ActionParsnip: No clue... but I think I figured out more about this problem. Firefox says the file type is unknown. | 00:01 |
| blackshirt | googol30, look at /etc/resolv.conf | 00:01 |
| Googol30 | I set that up according to http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html up to the "define new DNS server" part. | 00:03 |
| almoxarife | Googol30: setting a static ip on the box is ok if the router will accept the number, does it? | 00:04 |
| Polarisr | I have installed Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit and installed compiz settings manager but wobbly windows and desktop cube are not in the settings manager any help or ideas would be a big help | 00:05 |
| almoxarife | box > router > modem > internet <-- that your setup Googol30... | 00:05 |
| blackshirt | googol30, if you sit behind router, you should doing nat | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Polarisr: check for extra compiz plugin packages in software centre | 00:05 |
| Polarisr | ok | 00:06 |
| Googol30 | I don't remember if I had a working connection anytime after editing the /etc/network/interfaces file, but I haven't touched anything after that to my memory. I have changed some settings on the router in relation to not having the internal IP lease expire, or something along those lines. | 00:08 |

| chocka | Hi All, I have a question regarding partitioning | 00:23 |
| escott | chocka, just ask | 00:23 |
| chocka | I am planning to buy a new laptop | 00:23 |
| chocka | I started using ubuntu 1 yr ago | 00:24 |
| Guest53318 | anbody want to help fix network issue just installed connman and now cant get on netowrk so tried uninstalling but network manager will not shw up | 00:24 |
| Guest53318 | am on the same machine via usb boot | 00:24 |
| Googol30 | Sorry... afk... upon running everything past "run"... there's "Temporary failure resolving 'us.archive.ubuntu.com'" among other error messages... I'm pretty sure I don't have internet on my Ubuntu box now. | 00:24 |

| escott | Googol30, can you "ping 8.8.8.8" | 00:25 |
| Guest53318 | how to fix network manager... | 00:25 |
| almoxarife | Googol30: when you went about going static , did you remove 'networkmanager' ? | 00:25 |
| Googol30 | when I ping 8.8.8.8 it says "Destination Host Unreachable" | 00:26 |
| chocka | not only I like it very much, I also use it for my research. I do run calculation based on fortran programming and each run gives data approximately 200 mb. My current partitioning is only 10 GB, so each time I have to move my data from previous runs to other systems to do new calc. I plan to buy a 1 TB hdd laptop. I wish to have 500 GB for Ubuntu. What would be a good scheme for Ubuntu partition with 500 GB | 00:26 |
| === Nick is now known as Netbus | ||
| Netbus | Greetings from the internet! | 00:26 |
| Googol30 | And how would I have gone about removing "networkmanager", even accidentally? | 00:27 |
| almoxarife | Googol30: the static ip you chose, does your router accept it? or can you ping your router? | 00:27 |
| Googol30 | I can ping my router, as well as connect to it on this computer on the apache2 webserver it's running. | 00:28 |
| Googol30 | So apparently I don't have a WAN connection on my Ubuntu box, but I do have a LAN connection. | 00:29 |
| almoxarife | Googol30: when i set my server to static i purged 'networkmanager' , especially if you are using /etc/network/interfaces with static entries | 00:30 |

| dfa | hello.... anybody so kind to give this newbie a little help? :) | 00:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Googol30: sounds like you need a router reboot | 00:31 |
| dfa | hi ActionParsnip... could i please bother you for another 5 minutes today as well? | 00:32 |
| ActionParsnip | dfa: ask away | 00:32 |
| dfa | you helped me last time with alacarte... | 00:32 |
| dfa | ok | 00:32 |
| Googol30 | I'll try purging networkmanager first, if that doesn't work, I'll restart the Ubuntu box, and if that doesn't work, I'll resort to rebooting the router... first things first though... how do I purge 'networkmanager'? | 00:32 |
| dfa | so i installed icecat as follows: wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnuzilla/17.0/icecat-17.0.1-64bit.tar.gz; tar xzf icecat-17.0.1-64bit.tar.gz; sudo mv icecat-17.0.1 /usr/local/lib; sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/icecat-17.0.1/icecat /usr/local/bin/icecat; | 00:33 |
| almoxarife | Googol30: sudo apt-get purge networkmanager | 00:33 |
| dfa | since it's not workiing correctly i was wondering: did i do something wrong? | 00:33 |
| damian_ | HI Everybody what about linux mint? I have installed kde now | 00:33 |
| almoxarife | Googol30: sudo apt-get purge networkmanager* <-- better yet (*) | 00:33 |
| dfa | i mean it works and everything but kinda slow and some pages don't load well or dont load at all..... | 00:33 |
| escott | chocka, nothing there to really recommend any particular partitioning scheme over another. you just need bigger parttion | 00:33 |
| escott | dfa, what is icecat | 00:34 |
| ActionParsnip | !info icecat- | 00:34 |
| ActionParsnip | !info icecat | 00:34 |
| ubottu | Package icecat- does not exist in quantal | 00:34 |
| ubottu | Package icecat does not exist in quantal | 00:34 |
| dfa | i went to the icecat channel but nobody there.... nobody answered me..... | 00:35 |
| chocka | escott: When alocating bigger partitioning, documentation says things abt separate partitioning for swap /usr /tmp etc. I Just do not have a good handle on these things. So, just wish to know what would be a good scheme for a 500 GB ubuntu paritioning? | 00:35 |
| ActionParsnip | dfa: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 00:35 |
| dfa | ok another question: how do i uninstall/remove it? | 00:35 |
| ikonia | remove the tar file and remove the link | 00:36 |
| ikonia | (I'm assuming it untared to an isolated directory) | 00:36 |
| craigbass1976 | ActionParsnip, hey there. I was over at ed_moulton's house and ended up bringing the joystick here. I'm still on Xubuntu but 12.04 at my house. What's the best way to make this thing work? | 00:36 |
| dfa | output is: brigantia | 00:37 |
| escott | chocka, you dont have to partition for any of those if you dont want to. the standard recommendation is to make a partition for a swap partition that is 2xRAM, but if you have a lot of ram that may not matter. in any case 2xRAM should not be a significant portion of a 1TB disk | 00:37 |
| ikonia | what ? | 00:37 |
| starfish | cats =) | 00:38 |
| Googol30 | Purging network manager seems to have no immediately noticeable effect on the connection. | 00:38 |
| Googol30 | I'm restarting the computer. | 00:39 |
| almoxarife | Googol30: did you stop networkmanager? | 00:39 |
| ikonia | why would removing network manager change the status of a connection ? | 00:39 |
| chocka | escott: so, if the RAM is 8 GB, 16 GB for swap and whatever space we want for ubuntu, say 400 GB, would be fine, right? Nothing else to specify, just go ahead with automatic partitioning.. | 00:39 |
| Googol30 | No... I guess I should stop it first then... that would make sense. | 00:39 |
| escott | chocka, sure it can be that simple, or you can make it more complex if you want | 00:39 |
| dfa | is there a browser other than firefox that supports certificates and saves logins and passwords? (midori doesn't...) | 00:40 |
| ikonia | dfa: why are you not using firefox | 00:40 |
| ActionParsnip | dfa: then it's not ubuntu | 00:40 |
| Cheech | why would you ever need 16gb for swap? curious | 00:40 |
| ikonia | what's the issue with it | 00:40 |
| craigbass1976 | ActionParsnip, jtest-gtk... | 00:40 |
| almoxarife | dfa: chromium/chrome | 00:40 |
| texta | Ahoy, can someone help me with an annoying pulseaudio issue? | 00:40 |
| dfa | it's trisquel | 00:40 |
| ikonia | if your machine is using 16GB of swap, it's already dead | 00:40 |
| ikonia | dfa: it's what ? | 00:40 |
| ActionParsnip | dfa: ask in #Trisquel | 00:40 |
| chocka | escott: Thanks. It is going to be a single user, just me. So, what you suggested would be fine. Thanks again. | 00:40 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: yet another ubuntu spinoff | 00:40 |
| ikonia | dfa: why are you not using firefox | 00:40 |
| ikonia | ActionParsnip: fantastic, thank you | 00:41 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: like we need more | 00:41 |
| dfa | ActionParsnip you are my favorite..... please let me get help from you..... | 00:41 |
| ikonia | dfa: sorry, we only deal with ubuntu here | 00:41 |
| ikonia | ActionParsnip is welcome to help you in private of course | 00:41 |
| ActionParsnip | dfa: ask in the channel for your distro | 00:42 |
| dfa | not using firefox cuz i want to be a follower of rms :) | 00:42 |
| Googol30 | How do I stop networkmanager... I feel like doing something like that would be obvious but I haven't done anything correct today. | 00:43 |
| chocka | ikonia: I am looking for help for parititioning a new laptop with 1 TB hdd for dual boot. I prefer 500 GB for ubuntu | 00:43 |
| ikonia | chocka: then do that | 00:43 |
| ikonia | Googol30: why do you want to do that ? | 00:43 |
| almoxarife | Googol30: pkill NetworkManager | 00:43 |
| Googol30 | ^ he said so | 00:43 |
| almoxarife | Googol30: yes, caps | 00:43 |
| ikonia | why ? | 00:43 |
| ikonia | what do you hope to get by stopping the utility that manages your network interface | 00:44 |
| Googol30 | networking issues | 00:44 |
| ikonia | thats pretty generic | 00:44 |
| almoxarife | ikonia: he wants straight static, mainline | 00:44 |
| ikonia | almoxarife: so ? | 00:44 |
| ikonia | configure a static IP in network manger | 00:44 |
| ikonia | manager | 00:44 |
| chocka | ikonia: you said 16 GB for swap means computer is dead.. ? | 00:45 |
| ikonia | chocka: if your machine is using 16GB of swap, your machine will be dead, yes | 00:45 |
| Cheech | lol | 00:45 |
| almoxarife | ikonia: so/??? his call, not mine, is box, his decision? | 00:45 |
| ikonia | almoxarife: he said you told him to remove it..... | 00:45 |
| dfa | AP.... i am in the other room.... i see you entered and left.... i am there now.... | 00:46 |
| ActionParsnip | chocka: 20Gb /, 1.1xRAM for swap, the rest for /home | 00:46 |
| almoxarife | Googol30: when i set my server to static i purged 'networkmanager' , especially if you are using /etc/network/interfaces with static entries <-- that is what i said! ikonia... | 00:46 |
| ikonia | sheesh | 00:46 |
| Cheech | I thought swap was for older machines that starved for ram, i use no swap with no probs | 00:46 |
| === ablyss_ is now known as ablyss | ||
| ActionParsnip | chocka: you need it if you want hibernate / suspend | 00:47 |
| ikonia | swap can help you make use of your ram better too | 00:47 |
| ikonia | a little bit of swap is good | 00:47 |
| Cheech | i have 3gig or ram, i guess i dont do much with system though | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip | plus you will hardly miss 16Gb | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip | chocka: for 3Gb RAM, you'll want 3.3Gb swap :) | 00:48 |
| chocka | ikonia: I went thru the ubuntu documentation for partitioning, but I couldn't understand, as it said for large paritioning with ubuntu, swap /etc /usr should all be in separate parition, thats why I raised this question | 00:48 |
| ikonia | chocka: there is no need for that | 00:49 |
| ikonia | and it didn't say that | 00:49 |
| Googol30 | Specifically, if you must know, I am attempting to run a dedicated Minecraft server on Ubuntu Server, and I thought that port forwarding was specific to an internal IP. My router's DHCP settings expire internal IPs every day, thus... at least with my understanding of networking, Ubuntu, and Minecraft, I would give the box a static IP. | 00:49 |
| ikonia | as /etc CANNOT be a seperate partition | 00:49 |
| ActionParsnip | chocka: you don't need /usr on it's own partition | 00:49 |
| ikonia | chocka: I suggest you read again as you've not read it properly | 00:49 |
| chocka | actionparsnip: ok, if laptop is 8 GB RAM? | 00:49 |
| Nach0z | um. Googol30 you can set manual IPs via your network config, depending on what service you're using fr DHCP. I usually set chattr +i on my network config file in that case | 00:49 |
| escott | chocka, in modern systems very few things can be on their own partition, /var, /home, and /boot can be on their own partition, having /usr on its own partition can cause problems | 00:50 |
| ActionParsnip | chocka: 8.8Gb swap, unless you don't want hibernate / suspend then you can probably get away with 4Gb swap if your use is going to be web browsing and chatting | 00:50 |
| Nach0z | and the router accepts it, as long as it's outside of what other computers will normally use. | 00:50 |
| dfa | ActionParsnip should i wait for you in the other room? i was there but not looking at it when you entered..... | 00:50 |
| ActionParsnip | dfa: i'm a little busy here | 00:51 |
| almoxarife | Googol30: you can make the router reserve the ip of the what ever to a specific ip, keeping you from having to set static at the box | 00:51 |
| ikonia | dfa: please take it to a private message | 00:51 |
| texta | How can I set my input source with pulseaudio | 00:51 |
| texta | I can select a card to use | 00:51 |
| texta | but not an actual source. :\ | 00:51 |
| almoxarife | Googol30: mac reserve at the router | 00:51 |
| Googol30 | I had to change my router's settings for DHCP from 192.168.1.[2-254] to an upper bound of 252, and have set the box, along with the router, for static something... at this point I'm not sure what. | 00:51 |
| chocka | I use for programming and running calculations based on fortran | 00:52 |
| dfa | AP: will you help me if i wait for you? ikonia:how do i take it to a private msg? | 00:52 |
| ikonia | /msg ActionParsnip hi this is a private message | 00:52 |
| === Robert_ is now known as Guest24972 | ||
| Nach0z | lol. | 00:52 |
| dfa | so i just need to put "/msg alias" before the message? | 00:53 |
| ikonia | dfa: yes, please join the channel #freenode if you need help using IRC | 00:54 |
| dfa | ok | 00:54 |
| Googol30 | I have set Ubuntu to connect to the router requesting(?) the address 192.168.1.253, and have configured the router to port forward incoming external network traffic for port 25565 to 192.168.1.253. | 00:54 |
| chocka | actionparsnip: what is the relation between hibernate / suspend and swap? and what actually is the function of swap. I use the system to run complex calculations based on fortran programming | 00:54 |
| escott | chocka, hibernate=write to disk full power off. suspend = write to ram stop CPU/disk keep ram powered | 00:55 |
| ActionParsnip | chocka: swap is like the pagefile in windows | 00:55 |
| Nach0z | except awesomer | 00:56 |
| Googol30 | At this point, all I want to do is get a static internal IP set up, get the USB containing the data for the Minecraft server to mount, and port forward requests for port 25565 to that computer. | 00:56 |
| Googol30 | I think I might have only port forwarded at this point. Everything else I mentioned in that last sentence there I haven't yet done successfully. | 00:57 |
| PatrickDickey | Googol30: Do you have a desktop installed or is it a minimal installation? | 00:57 |
| almoxarife | Googol30: does your router allow you to make 'mac' reservation? | 00:57 |
| Monotoko | Googol30, usually you can override DHCP and specify which IP you want (as long you know the hostmask, usually 255.255.255.0 on home routers) and the gateway (your router IP) | 00:58 |
| chocka | escott: ActionParsnip: ikonia: Thanks for the time and help. | 00:58 |
| xwalk | Someone please tell me why this command is not only copying dot files? sudo cp -r /home/username/.* /media/home/user/ | 00:58 |
| Monotoko | you can do that on just one computer and have the rest still use DHCP | 00:58 |
| xwalk | I swear bash syntax changes when I stop using it for a few weeks. | 00:59 |
| PatrickDickey | xwalk, because .* tells it only copy files that start with . | 00:59 |
| Nach0z | lol xwalk | 00:59 |
| PatrickDickey | What are you trying to copy xwalk? | 00:59 |
| Googol30 | PatrickDickey, it's Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS. almaxarife, I don't recall changing anything with MAC addresses, but I do recall changing something about NAT. And Monotoko, that's what I'm trying to do now, but I'm not exactly sure how to do so. | 01:00 |
| PatrickDickey | Googol30: Here's how to configure a static IP. It's for 10.04, but the procedure is the same for 12.04. https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/network-configuration.html | 01:00 |
| ikonia | no | 01:00 |
| Monotoko | Googol30: this should help: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-ubuntu-server-from-dhcp-to-a-static-ip-address/ | 01:00 |
| ikonia | that's 10.04 | 01:00 |
| xwalk | I'm following this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving#Copy_.2BAC8-home_to_the_New_Partition, only I'm having to do a few weird things since I don't really fall under the typical scenario case that this tutorial goes through, so I'm trying to copy only the smaller files from my current home dir while keeping the larger files. | 01:01 |
| almoxarife | Googol30: insure your router is using 'nat' unless you have a specific reason for not using it | 01:01 |
| Monotoko | ohhh nevermind, use PatrickDickey's link | 01:01 |
| PatrickDickey | ikonia, it works for 12.04 also. In fact, it's the same page that I use for every version. | 01:01 |
| ikonia | there is no need for any of that | 01:01 |
| ikonia | just set the static IP in network manager | 01:01 |
| Monotoko | ikonia, he doesn't have a GUI | 01:01 |
| xwalk | I just want to copy some dot files and some dirs containing scripts and small programs, but leave big files like videos and pictures, etc. | 01:02 |
| ikonia | network manager has a commmand interface too | 01:02 |
| ikonia | hence why it's installed on his system | 01:02 |
| * PatrickDickey doesn't worry about it anymore anyhow... My Amahi Server gives me the static IP address. | 01:02 | |
| almoxarife | ikonia: he already did it, he made changes to the router before hand, correct Googol30...? | 01:02 |
| Monotoko | ikonia, I've never got network manager to work properly without a GUI... I prefer doing it manually, then at least you know you've done it right and don't rely on software | 01:03 |
| RoySegall | hello | 01:03 |
| Monotoko | at the best of times it's buggy for me | 01:03 |
| ikonia | never had a problem with it | 01:03 |
| RoySegall | Quick question - not technical | 01:03 |
| xwalk | PatrickDickey: I actually just answered my own question. I'm trying to copy the parent directories with that command as well, so everything in the dir will be copied. | 01:03 |
| Monotoko | RoySegall, ask away | 01:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Monotoko: could use wicd instead | 01:03 |
| === arash is now known as mac-10 | ||
| * almoxarife does not see a need for 'networkmanager' on a hardwired box without wifi, it just overhead at that point | 01:03 | |
| PatrickDickey | xwalk, then I'd say take the . out. See if that copies everything. | 01:04 |
| RoySegall | Any one saw the new track pad by logitch for windows 8? | 01:04 |
| Googol30 | I think I have set the router up thus that 192.168.1.253, which is the box's requested ip, is outside of the router's DHCP settings, and that that IP is static. | 01:04 |
| ikonia | Googol30: why are you even setting a static IP | 01:04 |
| xibalba | anyone here have issues installing vmware tools on 12.04 LTS? | 01:05 |
| Monotoko | ikonia, so he can port forward | 01:05 |
| ActionParsnip | RoySegall: does it have a make and model | 01:05 |
| Googol30 | Port forwarding. | 01:05 |
| ikonia | Googol30: if you setup port forwarding on most home reouters it reserves the lease anyway | 01:05 |
| xibalba | im sure someone here runs vmware | 01:05 |
| ActionParsnip | RoySegall: i avoid logitech, they don't support linux :) | 01:05 |
| xibalba | tells me fatal error when compiling cannot find smp_lock.h | 01:05 |

| RoySegall | any suggestions? | 01:06 |
| ikonia | xibalba: it doesn't contain the header it wants then | 01:06 |
| xibalba | how do i find it ? | 01:06 |
| ikonia | xibalba: you install it | 01:06 |
| xibalba | know the pkg name? | 01:06 |
| RoySegall | apple - not cheap and i don't think that the Gestures will work | 01:06 |
| ikonia | xibalba: you need to find out what provides it | 01:06 |
| ikonia | there may be no package | 01:06 |
| ikonia | it maybe internal to vmware and you've not installed it in the compilers search path | 01:07 |
| mattwj2002 | so why did Ubuntu start including crapware and asking for donations | 01:07 |

| ikonia | mattwj2002: if you expect an answer, best to ask polite normal questions | 01:07 |
| mattwj2002 | why is Ubuntu asking for me to donate when I want to download it.....why are there links like Amazon in an Ubuntu live cd? | 01:08 |
| ikonia | mattwj2002: they are asking you to donate, as donations fund the project | 01:08 |
| ikonia | mattwj2002: they have included the amazon lense to try to create a marketing partner with amazon | 01:08 |
| iceroot | mattwj2002: its just "maybe you wan to but you dont have to" | 01:08 |
| RoySegall | ActionParsnip, Allready have keyboard, just need track pad like apple and the one logitech came out with | 01:09 |
| ActionParsnip | mattwj2002: you can uninstall the amazon lens stuff, the donations are just a nice way to say thanks, you don't have to donate | 01:09 |
| NcA | mattwj2002, because, this: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/12/richard-stallman-calls-ubuntu-spyware-because-it-tracks-searches/ | 01:09 |
| ActionParsnip | RoySegall: how is a trackpad different to a touchpad? | 01:09 |
| ikonia | and Richard Stallman is a sound person to use as a "judge" of things....not | 01:09 |
| iceroot | mattwj2002: related to the donate questions | 01:09 |
| mattwj2002 | guys I love ubuntu | 01:09 |
| mattwj2002 | I just get concerned when I see stuff like that | 01:09 |
| ikonia | mattwj2002: concerned about what ? | 01:10 |
| RoySegall | They don't, same same diffrent name. buy the problem is the gestures won't work with ubuntu | 01:10 |
| mattwj2002 | well for example I search for usb (for creating a live usb drive) I get ads to buy one | 01:10 |
| ikonia | mattwj2002: then remove that lense | 01:10 |
| ActionParsnip | RoySegall: are there bugs reported? | 01:10 |
| mattwj2002 | okay | 01:10 |
| mattwj2002 | sorry not trying to cause problems :) | 01:11 |
| PatrickDickey | _andyj_: You can only encrypt your /home folder after installing. You'll have to reinstall to encrypt the entire partition, unfortunately. | 01:11 |
| ikonia | it's not a problem | 01:11 |
| mattwj2002 | I'll probably even donate sometime | 01:11 |

| PatrickDickey | mattwj2002: It's been a source of controversy since they implemented it during the beta. So, you're not the only one that finds it odd. I think in the end, they're doing what they said --trying to make the desktop your one stop for everything, instead of having to open a browser to search online. | 01:13 |

| lauratika | did you read what i wrote?... lower than what plays on internet like youtube, grooveshark etc | 01:15 |
| PatrickDickey | lauratika: so, if it plays through your browser (or another application), it's louder than if you're playing it through Rhythmbox or Clementine? | 01:16 |

| Googol30 | Since FAT32 isn't working, I'll reformat it in FAT and see if that will work. If that doesn't work yet again, I'll attempt a network based file transfer. And if I can't figure anything out after that... I give up. | 02:16 |
| ActionParsnip | gabrieluk: if the newer version of a package adds a minor change compared to one which is a high security risk. Which do you think will get more attention? | 02:17 |

| K1rk | I am trying to clean up after this largely ignored bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm-gtk-greeter/+bug/990315 Without compiling my own binaries. I am doing this on a large scale deployment, and I don't want to deal with an update wiping out my custom binaries. | 02:25 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 990315 in LightDM GTK+ Greeter "[patch] fixes 'Cancel' button press action" [Undecided,Fix released] | 02:25 |
| Guest55891 | can't get that vid to play no flash any help on installing network manager to hdd install from usb live session | 02:25 |
| K1rk | I thought maybe a good solution would be a custom button on the GTK greeter to replace their broken cancel button. Maybe one which runs a custom bash script to kill and restart lightdm. | 02:25 |
| K1rk | Any idea how I can accomplish this? | 02:25 |
| maylow | escott: i've got lvm over mdadm | 02:26 |

| escott | maylow, excellent | 02:26 |
| maylow | escott: i greatly appreciate your advice | 02:26 |

| anonjr | Edit .exe in ubuntu? | 02:27 |
| K1rk | anonjr, Ubuntu doesn't have exe files. It has binaries. | 02:27 |
| dr_willis | hmm. it says fix released. that means there should be an update to fix it soon | 02:27 |
| K1rk | dr_willis, yeah but that looks like it was months ago. | 02:27 |
| K1rk | dr_willis, I want to deploy my 12.04 lab image to our computers over Christmas break. | 02:27 |
| K1rk | dr_willis, you can see how with a room full of students, this might be a problem. (aka "vandalizing" computers to waste time, getting them stuck in login loops) | 02:28 |
| Guest55891 | tried installing network manager from deb off flash but its output it that the deb files are not in software sources | 02:28 |
| K1rk | It seems like this is a really dumb problem and a really easy fix... and lazy repo maintainer | 02:28 |
| meowagism | i installed those options | 02:28 |
| meowagism | on btrfs? | 02:28 |
| dr_willis | i use gdm. ;-) | 02:28 |
| gabrieluk | how do i remove a ppa repository? | 02:28 |
| meowagism | defaults,subvol=@home,compress=lzo,inode_cache,ssd 0 2 | 02:28 |
| K1rk | meowagism, nice fstab stuff.... | 02:29 |
| dr_willis | !ppa-purge | gabrieluk | 02:29 |
| ubottu | gabrieluk: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 02:29 |
| K1rk | meowagism, I'm not familiar with the "ssd" option. | 02:29 |
| meowagism | ssd is solid state drives write in a chunk instead of little bananaistics | 02:29 |
| gabrieluk | ok | 02:30 |
| dr_willis | o_0 | 02:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest55891: the way I do it is to run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install network-manager in the liveCD | 02:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest55891: then copy the deb files from /var/cache/apt/archives to the internal HDD, then reboot to the installed OS and install the deb files | 02:31 |
| Guest55891 | yes but that requires mounting into the hdd | 02:31 |
| Guest55891 | o ok' | 02:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest55891: yes, you'd mount the drive to then hold the debs so they are not lost on reboot | 02:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest55891: you then have the files you need to install the app | 02:31 |

| ReAzem | dr_willis, Okay so how do I pay you a beer? | 02:41 |

| Argure_ | because I cd'ed into ~/.ssh before running ls -la ;) | 02:45 |

| escott | Argure_, i get it you are trying to say .ssh is 700 and auth_keys is 600 but its not working... you could have just said that | 02:47 |
| Argure_ | afaik with the permission set on ~/.ssh and ~/.ssh/authorized_keys it *should* be working fine | 02:47 |
| Guest17440 | Why is it, when I highlight files on my old drive, ubuntu says there is something like 14.9 gigs, but when I copy those same files and folders, it actually ends up being around 145 gigs? | 02:47 |
| Argure_ | pretty much ^^ | 02:47 |

| riex | Hello guys, I've just added one more IP to my debian server. But when that's done, and I'm trying to ping it from my home connection, it dosen't reply back. But if i ping the IP-address on the server it replys. What could the error be? :-| | 02:49 |
| Googol30 | gpix13: Is it that my network connection might not be what it expects? | 02:49 |
| riex | someone knows if there is an error log or something? | 02:49 |
| Guest17440 | dr_willis: onto my new drive, and by using copy and paste | 02:49 |
| escott | Guest17440, sparse files have lots of zeros but the zeros aren't stored. virtual filesystems take up no on disk space but if you dont use the correct options in your copy you might copy them by accident. ie we need more details on exactly how you are copying | 02:49 |
| gpix13 | Googol30: no I doubt it, paste what you can into pste.ubuntu.com and paste the link here so i can see | 02:49 |
| dr_willis | Guest17440: what fs is the drive? | 02:50 |
| Guest17440 | dr_willis: sorry what? I'm still a noob | 02:50 |
| escott | Argure_, it sends both /Users/patrickgodschalk/.ssh/id_rsa and dsa but neither is a match. what are the contents of auth_keys | 02:50 |
| Argure_ | both are private keys, escott | 02:51 |
| mengazo | Is there anyway to sort files on Ubuntu by creation date, even with another filesystem, such as NTFS and FAT32. I use it for organizational purposes on Windows and OS X and have yet to find such a way to do that. I simply can't use Linux without that ability | 02:51 |
| escott | Argure_, take that back it doesnt send dsa cause that doesn't exist | 02:51 |
| Argure_ | I have tried indicating id_rsa.pub with the -i flag but to no avail | 02:51 |
| escott | Argure_, auth_keys should be public keys and safe to share | 02:51 |
| Argure_ | oh, authorized_keys | 02:51 |
| Googol30 | gpix: Any way to make the error messages all write to a file... I'm thinking something with grep but I'm not sure how to do so. | 02:51 |
| Googol30 | gpix13... forgot the numbers... sorry. | 02:52 |
| escott | Googol30, command 2>&1 >output.txt | 02:52 |
| SolarisBoy | 2>&1 | 02:52 |
| gpix13 | Googol30: do the command for starting the server and append it with ">> file.txt" | 02:52 |
| SolarisBoy | meh | 02:52 |
| Argure_ | escott: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1418079/ | 02:52 |
| gpix13 | or something to that extent | 02:52 |
| Guest17440 | escott: I am copying because I'm going to delete the files I copied from the original old HDD and recover data from an image onto the old HDD | 02:52 |
| escott | Argure_, that looks ok. | 02:52 |
| escott | Guest17440, don't really care about why. but how. using cp, rsync? with what flags etc? | 02:53 |
| julie101010 | I have a NFS mount in my fstab and it causes my system to lock up infinitely on boot when the server is down, any ideas? | 02:53 |
| ActionParsnip | julie101010: add the option: noauto then it won't attempt to be mounted at boot | 02:54 |
| williamherry | I accedently deleted a file, I know it belong to fontconfig-config, how do I get it back | 02:54 |
| Argure_ | escott: that's what I thought, I still for the life of me can't figure out why the server is denying pubkey authentication | 02:54 |
| williamherry | apt-get has no reinstall command | 02:54 |
| mengazo | I guess Linux is inadequate for my needs | 02:54 |
| dr_willis | julie101010: try the noauto option. tgen mount it after tge system is up | 02:54 |
| SolarisBoy | williamherry: yes it does | 02:54 |
| SolarisBoy | williamherry: install --reinstall | 02:54 |
| Argure_ | escott: especially since i can authenticate with that key towards other servers | 02:54 |
| williamherry | SolarisBoy: thanks | 02:54 |
| SolarisBoy | yw | 02:54 |
| julie101010 | ActionParsnip, dr_willis: is there an in between where it would attempt to mount it | 02:54 |
| ActionParsnip | julie101010: you can then add: sudo mount /mount/point & in /etc/rc.local above the 'exit 0' line to mount it, note the ampersand to background the command so the boot can complete | 02:55 |
| escott | Argure_, the only things you can check are the logs on the server | 02:55 |
| ActionParsnip | julie101010: ^ | 02:55 |
| julie101010 | ActionParsnip, very good idea, tyvm | 02:55 |
| ActionParsnip | julie101010: np | 02:55 |
| dr_willis | julie101010: i think there is. but ive not used nfs in ages | 02:55 |
| SolarisBoy | or automount | 02:55 |
| Guest17440 | escott: how? using ubuntu 12.10. Highlighting the files that I first see when opening the disk, right clicking, selecting copy, going to an ubuntu folder on the desktop and pasting inside there. | 02:55 |
| Googol30 | gpix13: Upon attempt to run the server with " >> errorlog.txt" appended to the end... it says "-bash: errorlog.txt: Permission denied" | 02:56 |

| gpix13 | Googol30: what directory are you running it in? | 02:56 |

| gpix13 | Googol30: don't write to the flash drive | 02:58 |

| SolarisBoy | haha | 02:59 |
| Thete | They sent out mass email about 30 min ago about it | 02:59 |

| needhelp1 | I need help, ive been battling with an issue with just copying files for months on ubuntu 12.10, i have updated and re-installed twice and still experience teh same issue. I plug in the camera via usb and the camera mounts, i can see the images load, but when i try to copy the image files from the camera to anywhere, nothing happens, the progress window loads showing something like "File operations" copying filie 1 of 20 to "folder nam | 03:15 |
| DrManhattan | ActionParsnip, one sec | 03:15 |
| DrManhattan | ActionParsnip, it says precise | 03:15 |
| nitrohax | did they finally fix the compiz fusion so you can load all the effects and not crash the system/ | 03:16 |
| ActionParsnip | DrManhattan: ho is removing one package, then replacing it with another 'weak'? | 03:16 |
| ActionParsnip | DrManhattan: echo "deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian precise contrib | 03:17 |
| ActionParsnip | oo | 03:17 |
| DrManhattan | ActionParsnip, I don't think it's "just a package" when you install it from the vbox site | 03:17 |
| DrManhattan | oo nice, thank you | 03:17 |
| nitrohax | ActionParsnip> depends on the package i guess. like gnome-screensaver with xscreensaver | 03:17 |
| ActionParsnip | DrManhattan: echo "deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian precise contrib" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vbox.list | 03:17 |
| ActionParsnip | DrManhattan: wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add - | 03:17 |
| nitrohax | someone having problems with the vbox thru ubuntu download center/ | 03:18 |
| ActionParsnip | DrManhattan: then uninstall the vbox packages you have and run: sudo apt-get update; VirtualBox-4.2 | 03:18 |
| ActionParsnip | DrManhattan: you still haven't answered my question | 03:18 |
| DrManhattan | copying | 03:18 |
| ActionParsnip | DrManhattan: you still haven't answered my question | 03:18 |
| ActionParsnip | DrManhattan: remove the old vbox first | 03:19 |
| DrManhattan | ActionParsnip, thats a lot of work just to uninstall and install one package, thats what I thought was weak | 03:19 |
| nitrohax | vbox really only works with all the functions when directly d/l thru the site it's self. the repos hasn't been updated in the d/l center | 03:19 |
| DrManhattan | it aint exactly apt-get remove and apt-get install | 03:19 |
| nitrohax | apt-get purge is what you are looking for | 03:20 |
| escott | needhelp1, what program are you using to copy the pictures | 03:20 |
| needhelp1 | escott: natalus | 03:20 |
| ActionParsnip | DrManhattan: its near zero effort though, its nearly apt-get remove apt-get install. You just add an extra packages source | 03:21 |
| ActionParsnip | DrManhattan: so, not weak at all | 03:21 |
| needhelp1 | escott: nautilus | 03:21 |
| DrManhattan | k | 03:21 |
| escott | needhelp1, most cameras are not usb mass-storage you might try one of the photo managing applications like gphoto or the like | 03:21 |
| DrManhattan | if I can get this pci passthrough working, I'll be a happy camper | 03:21 |
| DrManhattan | or if I manage to find my easycap | 03:21 |
| needhelp1 | escott: shotwell ok? | 03:22 |
| escott | needhelp1, sure | 03:22 |
| escott | DrManhattan, does your motherboard support pci passthrough | 03:22 |
| ActionParsnip | DrManhattan: if you wanted really annoying then try the same in gentoo, takes forever and a day | 03:22 |
| DrManhattan | escott, maybe | 03:22 |
| escott | DrManhattan, iommu does require northbridge support so check online and at the mfg website | 03:23 |
| needhelp1 | escott: getting errors "unable to mount camera, try to mount from the file manager" , and then "volume is busy EOG /run/user/who/gvfs/gph/....100canon etc | 03:23 |
| DrManhattan | ActionParsnip, I love watching that code fly by, but what a total PITA gentoo is to set up initially | 03:23 |
| escott | needhelp1, i guess nautilus has mounted it. you might eject it in nautilus and then try to reopen it in shotwell | 03:23 |
| escott | needhelp1, basically trying to get you closer to libgphoto2 | 03:24 |
| needhelp1 | escott: just had a crash | 03:24 |
| ActionParsnip | DrManhattan: loads, or telling it to rebuild world :) see you in a week | 03:24 |
| * DrManhattan bursts into tears with gentoo ptsd | 03:25 | |
| nitrohax | DrManhattan> you new to linux/ubuntu? | 03:25 |
| DrManhattan | no | 03:25 |
| dr_willis_ | !info gentoo | 03:25 |
| ubottu | gentoo (source: gentoo): fully GUI-configurable, two-pane X file manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.19.13-2 (quantal), package size 755 kB, installed size 1906 kB | 03:25 |
| needhelp1 | escott: unplugged and plugged back in, shotwell is importing, seems to be working so far. | 03:26 |
| needhelp1 | why cant i do this via nautilus? | 03:26 |
| nitrohax | you coming from straight deb? | 03:26 |
| DrManhattan | No | 03:26 |
| dr_willis_ | now everyone is confused. ;-) i like that gentoo filemanager | 03:26 |
| DrManhattan | Not even new to ubuntu | 03:26 |
| escott | needhelp1, its just another layer of abstraction. cameras in ptp mode are not like normal disks so when naut works with them it has to emulate certain disk functions that ptp does not support | 03:27 |
| escott | needhelp1, shotwell uses libgphoto2 directly so it talks ptp without the emulation of gvfs | 03:27 |
| needhelp1 | escott: is there anythign I can do to help "fix" this, bug report, vote or something | 03:27 |
| escott | needhelp1, if you are using the most recent version and want to try to isolate where the bug is in gvfs im sure a bug report would be helpful. a bug report for a X-months old version of gvfs that says it doesnt work for camera X is just going to get ignored | 03:28 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis_: oh wow, so you can run gentoo in gentoo :) | 03:29 |
| dr_willis_ | ActionParsnip: yep. ;-) | 03:29 |
| needhelp1 | escott: just to make sure im following correctly, your saying gvfs stinks, and a bug report probably wont help right? | 03:29 |
| dr_willis_ | gentootwo | 03:29 |
| escott | needhelp1, no gvfs seems to be pretty good (given what it does). but it is a bug in the gvfs/libgphoto2 interaction with your specific camera | 03:30 |
| dr_willis_ | gvfs works well.. most of the tine. | 03:30 |
| escott | needhelp1, and that making a good bug report that is actually useful rather than "it doesn't work for me" is a fair bit of work | 03:30 |
| nitrohax | DrManhattan> you just trying to get a good working copy of vbox working then? | 03:31 |
| escott | needhelp1, if you have the skill, time and desire to do it by all means please go ahead | 03:31 |
| nitrohax | escott> what do you need help with? | 03:31 |
| needhelp1 | escott: its weird because it worked in 12.04 | 03:31 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis_: gentoo^2 | 03:31 |
| escott | needhelp1, well thats helpful. means it is a regression. should be easier to figure out what went wrong | 03:31 |
| nitrohax | ActionParsnip> did they fix the compiz fusion where you can add all the effects and not crash/ | 03:33 |
| ActionParsnip | nitrohax: no idea, i don't use it | 03:33 |
| nitrohax | ActionParsnip> ok. just needed to see some flames and paper planes on the desktop. | 03:34 |
| ActionParsnip | nitrohax: what for? | 03:34 |
| nitrohax | last time i tried it it killed ubuntu and couldn't recover anything | 03:34 |
| needhelp1 | as far as file sysems go, is ext4 still recommended generally speaking | 03:35 |
| ActionParsnip | needhelp1: yes, ext4 is pretty decent now | 03:35 |
| nitrohax | ActionParsnip> You know, woblly windows are cool and all. but sometimes you need to show off that extra linux flare of flaming windows, and wrap maximize, and airplane minimize. | 03:36 |
| nitrohax | mostly to wow the window idiots at work | 03:36 |
| ActionParsnip | nitrohax: i think all that stuff is worthless and slows productivity | 03:36 |
| nitrohax | ActionParsnip> it's work, not like i'm doing anything there anyways, plus, i've got the GPU to handle it all | 03:37 |
| ActionParsnip | nitrohax: i'd rather that when i click minimize of close, the app instantly vanishes and i can move on rather than fill my screen with some animation and get in the way | 03:38 |
| atlus | would anyone mind helping me patch a version of wine ? | 03:38 |
| ActionParsnip | !patch | 03:39 |
| ubottu | Patches are files describing the changes in code to achieve some results. There are a number of ways these can be produced, but https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToFix and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/PatchSystems may provide some useful guidelines. | 03:39 |
| nitrohax | well i just make the animations really short. plus, those windows people, they just swoon over the effects they can't have. makes me seem more in demand to say. | 03:39 |
| Johnn | This is my first time in a IRC chat. I am here because I need help. Windows 7 has done some sort of automatic update and I can't acess Ubuntu. I'm a complete novice to Ubuntu but in my opinion it is much better then Windows. I even donated some :). I have created a live usb but repair disk did not work, Can anyone help or point me to the apropriate place? | 03:40 |
| ActionParsnip | nitrohax: i've never tried to wow people with effects | 03:40 |
| atlus | it may help to be able to have first hand guidance | 03:40 |
| ActionParsnip | nitrohax: try being 32 and having all that going on on the desktop. They'll look at you like you are some kid | 03:40 |
| nitrohax | ActionParsnip> you don't work in a windows shop like i do. they still don | 03:40 |
| Xgates | hey guys | 03:40 |
| Toph2 | ActionParsnip,,, you are able to wow with computer skills, all I have is the effects | 03:41 |
| Xgates | anyone see this new article over at the FSF? --> http://www.fsf.org/blogs/rms/ubuntu-spyware-what-to-do | 03:41 |
| Johnn | When I click Ubuntu it gives me minimal bash like line editing message. | 03:41 |
| nitrohax | they still don't realize how i fix window systems with such ease. I like ubuntu for the community, but deb for the funtionality | 03:41 |
| Xgates | I know Stallman is very extreme, but, hmm this doesn't sound good... | 03:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Toph2: hehe half :) | 03:41 |
| nitrohax | ActionParsnip> just the xscreensaver alone draws more attention then anything. and all i do is recover data from "broken" hard drives | 03:42 |
| Chintan | Hello guys | 03:43 |
| Chintan | good morning | 03:43 |
| ActionParsnip | nitrohax: i've sold PCs in the past using sach's marine screensaver | 03:43 |
| Johnn | So can anyone in this chatroom help me with a problem I am having with Ubuntu? | 03:43 |
| Chintan | I have one pc in USA with ubuntu installed. I want to transfer files from my ubuntu system. | 03:44 |
| nitrohax | ActionParsnip> my job description "virus rectification information reclamation" | 03:44 |
| Chintan | How can i do this ? | 03:44 |
| nitrohax | Chintan> so you want to trans files from one ubuntu machine to another? | 03:44 |
| Chintan | nitrohax : yes | 03:44 |
| puff | is this a good place to discuss a possible bug in ubuntu software updates? | 03:44 |
| Chintan | do i need vpn authentication for that ? | 03:45 |
| puff | To clarify, I'm not sure it's a bug, would like discuss with somebody more advanced before filing a bug. | 03:45 |
| nitrohax | Chintan> personal files or the whole set up of th machine? | 03:45 |
| Chintan | project files.. | 03:45 |
| Googol30 | Are you allowed to copy everything from the /mnt directory (and paste it into ~)? | 03:45 |
| Chintan | not big files. | 03:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Chintan: if you have SSH you can connect to SFTP | 03:45 |
| ecart | Chintan install apache and zip your files and access your files via browser | 03:45 |
| ecart | ;/ | 03:45 |
| nitrohax | Chintan> depends. you aren't trying to do setup files for the oS are you? | 03:45 |
| Chintan | both side ubuntu | 03:46 |
| nitrohax | Chintan> exactly, do an appache SFTP | 03:46 |
| Chintan | how ? | 03:46 |
| ecart | O.o | 03:46 |
| nitrohax | Chintan> one se | 03:46 |
| ecart | wampp | 03:46 |
| ecart | server | 03:46 |
| Johnn | I cannot log into Ubuntu Operating System it gives me a message along the lines of minimal bash like like editing is supported. Can anyone help me? | 03:46 |
| ecart | or apt-get install httpd | 03:46 |

| Guest30362 | hi | 03:47 |
| Laibsch | I'm looking for music and video player that is available for Linux and Android and stores some of it's metadata alongside the music/video files. Please ask if my request is unclear. | 03:47 |
| nitrohax | Chintan> look at pm | 03:47 |
| escott | !sshfs | Chintan | 03:47 |
| ubottu | Chintan: sshfs is a !Fuse based filesystem which allows you to mount a remote system over !SSH - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHFS for instructions | 03:47 |
| dr_willis_ | johntash: you mean you are in the grub shell? | 03:47 |
| ecart | Chintan or online install ssh securit shell | 03:48 |
| ecart | very good | 03:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Chintan: you will need to port forward port 22 in the router to the pc and run openssh-server. You now have an SFTP server which is secure as well as giving you the ability to connect hom and run commands etc | 03:48 |
| Johnn | I believe it is ts the grub shell | 03:48 |
| dr_willis_ | !fixgrub | 03:48 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 03:48 |
| ecart | ssh securit shell no need port forward | 03:49 |
| ecart | very easy | 03:49 |
| ecart | only installl and use | 03:49 |
| dr_willis_ | the router may need port forwarding setup ecart | 03:49 |
| ecart | depends | 03:50 |
| ecart | not all | 03:50 |
| nitrohax | ActionParsnip> he's looking for the easy GUI way of doing it. | 03:50 |
| dr_willis_ | most will | 03:50 |
| Googol30 | Sanity check... Verizon allows port 25565 through it's firewalls wherever down the line, right? | 03:51 |
| ReAzem | Two exact same authorized_keys files. Two different user. I can only log on one, other is refusing key. | 03:51 |
| ReAzem | Both files are 700, Both files are owned by the respective user. | 03:51 |
| dr_willis_ | why would they block high ports. | 03:51 |
| ReAzem | I use "AllowUsers user1 user2" on /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 03:51 |
| escott | ReAzem, encrypted home? | 03:51 |
| ReAzem | escott, No | 03:52 |
| puff | Chintan: The gnome file browser, nautilus, has ssh support. | 03:52 |
| escott | Googol30, this verizon cellular? | 03:52 |
| Googol30 | They block port 80 to my knowledge... I can't see why port 25565, which is the port for a Minecraft server, would be much different. | 03:52 |
| Googol30 | escott No, residential I think. Not business. | 03:52 |
| blackdog | g'day all. anyone able to help me debug why the slice battery on my Thinkpad won't charge? I'm a bit stumped as to where to start. | 03:53 |
| dr_willis_ | the low ports are standardized for specific services. high ines are not | 03:53 |
| puff | Chintan: Start the file browser however you normally do it, then file, Connect To Server, select ssh protocol, put in the username and password. | 03:53 |
| blackdog | https://gist.github.com/4238511 | 03:53 |
| dr_willis_ | you could set minevraft on a different port | 03:53 |
| blackdog | extra-confusing because 'acpi' tells me that battery 0 is unknown and battery 1 is the built-in one. | 03:54 |
| puff | blackdog: I have no clue as to your problem, but ##ibmthinkpad can be very helpful if people are awake there (50/50 chance). Also, linux-thinkpad mailing list is also quite useful. | 03:54 |
| blackdog | puff: ah, thank you. i'll ask there. | 03:55 |
| rainbowwarrior2 | I have completely forgotten what i came on for, if anyone sees it can they give me it back please ? | 03:57 |
| escott | Googol30, they could be doing dpi and blocking minecraft in particular | 03:57 |
| ActionParsnip | blackdog: I'd ask in ##hardware | 03:58 |
| blackdog | ActionParsnip: thank you, i'll try there too. | 03:58 |
| escott | ReAzem, only other thing to check is ownership of .ssh folder | 03:59 |
| Googol30 | Anyone have any experience with noip on Ubuntu Server? Something isn't working somewhere down the line for me and I suspect it's No-IP. | 04:00 |
| ReAzem | escott, .ssh is owned by the user. | 04:00 |
| x__ | how do you turn off this amazon spyware I keep hearing about ? | 04:01 |
| ReAzem | Im going crazy | 04:01 |
| ReAzem | escott, I dont know if this matters, but vmuser had no id_rsa. All it has is authorized_keys. | 04:02 |
| ActionParsnip | !shopping | 04:02 |
| escott | ReAzem, the user you are logging into need not have an id_rsa | 04:02 |
| ActionParsnip | x__: sudo apt-get --purge remove unity-lens-shopping | 04:03 |
| escott | ReAzem, the id_rsa needs to be on the user you originate from | 04:03 |
| ActionParsnip | x__: then log off and on, its not spyware | 04:03 |
| ReAzem | escott, I just did "cat /var/log/auth.log" and found the following: "bad ownership or modes for dirrectory /home/user" | 04:03 |
| escott | ReAzem, it should check down until it gets to a root owned folder. usually $HOME is not fouled up yours must be | 04:04 |
| x__ | ActionParsnip, does it monitor what I do and report it to some company... ? | 04:04 |
| ActionParsnip | x__: no, it sends suggestion based on your search, its not watching what you do on the OS | 04:05 |
| ReAzem | escott, Sorry, I don't understand. | 04:05 |
| x__ | ActionParsnip, so it monitors my searchs then ? | 04:05 |
| escott | ReAzem, who owns /home/user | 04:05 |
| ReAzem | escott, The user, and some other group. | 04:06 |
| escott | ReAzem, and permissions are? | 04:06 |
| ReAzem | escott, 770 | 04:06 |
| escott | ReAzem, should be 750 | 04:06 |
| ActionParsnip | x__: there is no identification, all the text used to retrieve the searches is anonymous | 04:07 |
| ReAzem | escott, Why? | 04:07 |
| NSAgent | x__: Don't search for your name ;) | 04:07 |
| escott | ReAzem, suppose I was a member of group, and you did not have a .ssh. then i could create one, fill in my own auth_keys and chown it over to you. | 04:08 |
| ActionParsnip | x__: if you don't like it then remove it, not tricky :) | 04:08 |
| dr_willis_ | dont search for words that contain dirty words either....;-) | 04:08 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis_: like scunthorpe? ;) | 04:08 |
| x__ | ActionParsnip, it still sounds like spyware to me... It is also against the whole open source doctrine | 04:08 |
| ReAzem | escott, Thanks for giving me the actual reason =). Let me see if this solves it. | 04:09 |
| ActionParsnip | x__: its removable so I dn't care, its also only installed by default if you use unity which is also optional | 04:09 |
| ReAzem | escott, Woa. Worked. yay! Thank you =) | 04:09 |
| x__ | ActionParsnip, of course it is optional, but it is the default ubuntu setup. All spyware is removable it is just how hard it is to remove it... | 04:10 |
| dr_willis_ | wife loves the shopping thing. | 04:10 |
| escott | ReAzem, if you need to share in $HOME with other users create a subfolder for that other user | 04:10 |
| ActionParsnip | x__: its a package like anything else, not hard at all. a single command | 04:10 |
| dr_willis_ | its not spying. | 04:10 |
| ReAzem | escott, Thats what I'm doing right now. Just need to edit 2-3 lines of my script. | 04:10 |
| NSAgent | dr_willis_: We love it at work | 04:10 |
| dr_willis_ | back to ontopic... | 04:11 |
| x__ | ActionParsnip, I am not disputing how easy it is to remove, I removed it already. I am saying I don't understand why this was ever included with a linux distribution....? it goes against foss principles | 04:11 |
| x__ | this IS on topic | 04:11 |
| ActionParsnip | x__: some people like it and use it. Its just one more package for me to carve out of a clean install | 04:11 |
| x__ | just because you don't like my opinion | 04:11 |
| dr_willis_ | its nit support related. | 04:11 |
| x__ | sure it is | 04:11 |
| ActionParsnip | x__: no this is a SUPPORT channel, not discussion | 04:11 |
| ActionParsnip | x__: this is for folks who are having issues installing programs or pointers on themes, not shooting the breeze | 04:12 |
| ActionParsnip | x__: so, its not support related | 04:12 |
| dr_willis_ | you ask how to remove it.. thats a support question. why caonacle does stuff isnot. | 04:12 |
| nitrohax | chintan>it's a router prob. | 04:13 |
| dr_willis_ | to muc chatter drowns out the real support questions. | 04:13 |
| x__ | where would I ask why they would include this then? | 04:13 |
| nitrohax | i guess chintan gave up | 04:13 |
| ActionParsnip | x__: #ubuntu-offtopic | 04:13 |
| bibach | Trying to install 12.04 32-bit onto a Samsung N-150 Plus netbook (Phoenix BIOS, came with Win7 Starter). Put the ISO on a USB flash drive (2G SD card in an adapter) with the Universal USB installer, just as I did on another laptop. The netbook just will not boot off the USB drive, though. No CD/DVD drive. Want to install onto new partitions in empty space I've cleared on the HD, rather than wubi. Any suggestions? | 04:14 |
| ActionParsnip | bibach: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 04:14 |
| dr_willis_ | shuttleworths blog said why i belive | 04:14 |
| escott | bibach, not sure SD cards are bootable under most bioses | 04:15 |
| x__ | because amazon is pating them ? | 04:15 |
| x__ | paying* | 04:15 |
| nitrohax | SD cards are not bootable. | 04:15 |
| bibach | ActionParsnip: No... good idea. Though, I was getting the same results when I first tried doing this with the 64-bit ISO that I successfully used on the other laptop. | 04:15 |
| ActionParsnip | nitrohax: depends on bios | 04:15 |
| dr_willis_ | nitrohax: they can be | 04:15 |
| nitrohax | Only if the BIOS can recognize a botable media such as sd cards. you maye be able to make it a botable usb device | 04:16 |
| NSAgent | x__: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1182 (the why, discuss elsewhere please) | 04:16 |
| dr_willis_ | ive had issues with the usb creator tool befor. rtru some other tools from the pendrivelinux site | 04:16 |
| nitrohax | if using a USb card reader, most times the card reader even if built in is a usb device | 04:16 |
| ActionParsnip | nitrohax: exactly, so saying they are 'not bootable' is incorrect, they may be bootable depending on BIOS :) | 04:17 |
| dr_willis_ | my netbooks can boot from sd. | 04:17 |
| nitrohax | ActionParsnip> i covered my ass on that one | 04:17 |
| dr_willis_ | i run ubuntu on them that way | 04:17 |
| NSAgent | If it cannot boot from SD, there will be no option for it in a boot menu | 04:17 |
| NSAgent | if boot fails it is something else | 04:17 |
| bibach | The netbook is only a couple years old, but I guess that's no guarantee that it supports this. | 04:18 |
| escott | NSAgent, i wouldn't assume that either. i would just try a usb keychain device first | 04:18 |
| dr_willis_ | my old AAO boots from sd | 04:19 |
| Hausas | I think I'll go downstairs to play some fifa | 04:19 |
| dr_willis_ | my newer eee does also | 04:19 |
| nitrohax | bibach> "MOST" net books dont not see the Sd card as a removable or bootable media. try using a IDE/SATA to USB connectiong | 04:19 |
| escott | NSAgent, it could also seriously confuse the kernel for grub to bring it up on a multi-function sd card reader | 04:19 |
| hellhammer | im running ubuntu 12.04 and im have a AMD unsupported hardware watermark in the corner but my hardware is support and my 3d is working how do i remove this watermark? | 04:19 |
| nitrohax | oh hell, never heard of that before. | 04:20 |
| ActionParsnip | hellhammer: can you give a screenshot to outline the issue please | 04:20 |
| jagginess | hellhammer, me too ^ | 04:20 |
| amigamia | you mean the watermark in the corner? | 04:20 |
| hellhammer | yes | 04:20 |
| amigamia | oh | 04:20 |
| hellhammer | it doesnt show up in screenshots | 04:20 |
| amigamia | :D | 04:20 |
| hellhammer | it looks like a dot matrix image | 04:20 |
| bibach | What about a non-USB boot, such as network boot (is that still done with TFTP, these days?) or pushing grub onto the MSB from Windows and getting it to load the install from somewhere? | 04:20 |
| ActionParsnip | hellhammer: something like imageshack etc | 04:20 |
| amigamia | umm | 04:20 |
| nitrohax | hellhammer> I just wanted to tell you good luck, we are all counting on you "from the movie airplane" | 04:21 |
| jagginess | hellhammer, once upon a time, not my time, not your time | 04:21 |
| jagginess | hellhammer, something interesting | 04:21 |
| amigamia | that's strange hellhammer | 04:21 |
| jagginess | hellhammer, ya i know.. | 04:21 |
| amigamia | can you make a screenshot and pastebin? | 04:21 |
| NSAgent | bibach: Netboot still works, but you need to boot off of something originally to start it | 04:21 |

| nitrohax | jagginess> my episodes always begin at episode IVI hope | 04:22 |
| hellhammer | but it doesnt show up in the picture | 04:22 |
| escott | bibach, problem with pushing from windows is that grub is a multi-stage bootloader. i needs space outside the mbr | 04:22 |
| bibach | The BIOS has PXE as an option. Just need a TFTP server? Or some other protocol? | 04:22 |
| jagginess | hellhammer, cant help ya.. the desktop picture is too depressing | 04:23 |
| bibach | escott: Good point, forgot about that. | 04:23 |
| NSAgent | bibach: DHCP with some options as well, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot | 04:23 |

| warz | hi all. i just tried install ubuntu 12.10 desktop on my computer with an nvidia gtx 580 video card. it doesnt seem to support it. in fact, ubuntu just seems to take a big crap all over it. | 04:28 |
| warz | is this common? | 04:28 |
| dr_willis_ | !info giso | 04:28 |
| ubottu | Package giso does not exist in quantal | 04:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest23434: didn't think to do that....? | 04:28 |
| warz | nvidia cards and ubuntu | 04:28 |
| ActionParsnip | warz: which nvidia driver version are you running? | 04:28 |
| guang_ | is there a word in usb's sector indicate the app used to open the usb? | 04:28 |
| Guest23434 | ActionParsnip: Why so hostile? Yes I did think of that however I used google and didn't find anything | 04:29 |
| dr_willis_ | warz: not an issue with my older nvidia cards | 04:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest23434: because its such a basic thing to try | 04:29 |
| warz | ActionParsnip, I was trying to install the latest, but it was failing. I'm not sure how to check, otherwise. It's relatively recent, though. It was only a few minor version behind | 04:29 |
| warz | its whichever one ships with ubuntu, I guess | 04:29 |
| warz | so whichever is latest on aptitude | 04:29 |
| ActionParsnip | warz: what is the output of: dpkg -l | grep nvidia-current | 04:29 |
| warz | ActionParsnip, well one moment. Let me see if I can get back to a command line. It's all borked. lol. | 04:30 |
| warz | gimme a few secs. | 04:30 |
| dr_willis_ | warz: thats 2 different ones. ;-) | 04:30 |
| nitrohax | ActionParsnip> i'm trying to google, google, to see how google finds google on the internet. you think i should try google.com then searching for google? | 04:30 |
| dr_willis_ | nitrohax: use askjeeves | 04:30 |
| ActionParsnip | nitrohax: don't put google into google, you'll break the internet :) | 04:30 |

| ActionParsnip | warz: also, do you also see an Intel GPU in the output? | 04:32 |
| nitrohax | ActionParsnip> but th elders of the internet...they know who i am?! | 04:32 |

| warz | "product: GF110 [GeForce GTX580]" | 04:37 |
| warz | below a line that says "*-display UNCLAIMED" | 04:37 |
| nitrohax | another CMA, hellhammer was told that by activating certain drivers they he may need to uninstall them using the server CLI | 04:37 |
| ActionParsnip | warz: so you only have the nvidia gpu? | 04:37 |
| warz | ya only 1 card | 04:38 |

| warz | "WARNING: unable to locate or open X config file" | 04:40 |
| warz | it wrote a new file | 04:40 |
| warz | that to be expected? | 04:40 |
| ActionParsnip | warz: its fine, it then makes one for you | 04:40 |

| cheesecakes | is this even possible :/ | 04:47 |
| amigamia | i also read that operating systems like reactos, haiku, zeta and even AmigaOS is being threatened by these windows exe malicious viruses and that is why i am checking to see which viender Ubuntu is going to bundle with future releases? :D | 04:48 |
| almoxarife | cheesecakes: could attack a wine app | 04:48 |

| cheesecakes | yeah so we have troll/ highly misinformed person and i dont need to worry about it right | 04:51 |
| cheesecakes | dr_willis_: nice | 04:51 |
| bazhang | cheesecakes, no need to worry. read the link above | 04:51 |
| almoxarife | cheesecakes: wine runs in a sandbox, worse case scenario you delete /home/your-user-name/.wine , poof, gone | 04:51 |
| dr_willis_ | malware is not the same as a virus either | 04:51 |
| cheesecakes | ok cool | 04:52 |
| warz | meh. im not sure. it just sits at a screen showing the background after i log in. | 04:52 |
| dr_willis_ | its 'fud' fighting night here it seems. | 04:52 |
| cheesecakes | yeah i should start trusting linux more | 04:52 |
| cheesecakes | and not trust random strangers | 04:52 |

| RickZilla | I don't know about that, dr_willis_, the best way to learn ubuntu is to install it and mess around with it. Even if you break something you've learned | 04:54 |
| RickZilla | What's the worst that can happen? You wipe the install and start all over | 04:54 |

| mohajuice | hello dr_willis how to install usb modem i hav usb driver files in a debian package format but i don't know how to install them | 05:09 |
| dr_willis_ | mohajuice: where did they come from? | 05:09 |
| Thete | sudo dkpg -i package.deb | 05:10 |
| dr_willis_ | a usb dialup modem? 3g modem? | 05:10 |
| mohajuice | its in vitual cdrom in a usb modem | 05:11 |
| dr_willis_ | or sudo gdebi file.deb | 05:11 |
| Thete | wut? | 05:11 |
| dr_willis_ | iit came on a flash drive built into the modem? | 05:12 |
| mohajuice | its 3g HSPA modem | 05:12 |
| dr_willis_ | i doubt if it will work 2ith that. deb | 05:12 |
| Thete | why wouldn't it? | 05:12 |
| dr_willis_ | binary drivers are kernel specific normally. | 05:13 |
| Thete | maybe it's not a binary | 05:13 |
| dr_willis_ | this is not windows. | 05:13 |
| mohajuice | these r the ubuntu specific drivers | 05:13 |
| dr_willis_ | then it would be a. src.deb wouldent it? | 05:13 |
| Thete | Maybe it is | 05:14 |
| Thete | who knows | 05:14 |
| Thete | hehe | 05:14 |
| dr_willis_ | thats supriseing they would include ubuntu drivers. | 05:14 |
| Thete | I would assume that if it does have a deb driver included, it's most likely ubuntu | 05:14 |
| Thete | Cause who runs debian | 05:14 |
| dr_willis_ | ask why they dont include the drivers in the ubuntu repos... is a better question | 05:15 |
| mohajuice | can i send u those driver files | 05:15 |
| dr_willis_ | mohajuice: you hace just tried plugging it in to see if it workd? | 05:16 |

| mehwork | arg even sudo modprobe -r psmouse didn't fix my mouse issue. The cursor icon is completely disappeared | 05:35 |
| bin_bash | did you try turning it off and then on again | 05:35 |
| mehwork | i think ubuntu must have uploaded my mouse cursor to canonical too :( | 05:35 |
| cheesecakes | hhaha | 05:35 |
| mehwork | i really can't afford to restart ubuntu right now, too much going on | 05:35 |
| whatwhat | so.... i heard | 05:36 |
| ActionParsnip | mehwork: hit alt+tab may help | 05:36 |
| cheesecakes | how aboutunplugging it and then plugging it back in | 05:36 |
| whatwhat | BIRD IS THE WORD | 05:36 |
| mehwork | ActionParsnip: that was the first thing i tried, that would normally help me when my cursor gets all messed up but isn't in this case | 05:36 |
| mehwork | my cursor is constantly messed up since i installed the latest ubuntu, everytime it touches the right side of my screen it turns almost invisible and this time it turned completely invisible and wont come back | 05:37 |
| mehwork | most annoying thing i've ever witnessed | 05:37 |
| mehwork | i even plugged a usb mouse into this laptop and still nothin | 05:37 |
| dr_willis_ | you overworked your mouse | 05:37 |
| dr_willis_ | is it just invisible? | 05:37 |
| mehwork | it's invisible, i f i move it around i can see it ghosting over things like text | 05:37 |
| ActionParsnip | mehwork: try switching workspace | 05:38 |
| mehwork | ActionParsnip: i did all that believe me | 05:38 |
| mehwork | ActionParsnip: i also tried locking my screen and unlocking | 05:38 |
| mehwork | simple repaints aren't bringing it back | 05:38 |
| mehwork | why does stuff like this only ever happen at the worst time, when i can't restart and have a deadline | 05:39 |
| bin_bash | why can't you restart | 05:39 |
| mehwork | i'm running long term processes that i can't just abandon right now | 05:39 |
| mehwork | it would set me back a couple hours | 05:40 |
| atlus | what do I need to install to ./configure 32-bit in 64-bit ubuntu 12.10 | 05:40 |
| mehwork | i even unplugged my second monitor and it's still not fixing it | 05:41 |
| dr_willis_ | try changeing mouse themes? | 05:42 |
| dr_willis_ | atlus: if you install a 32bit deb it should pull in all needed dependencies | 05:43 |
| Destroxx | is this tech suporte lol | 05:43 |
| mehwork | dr_willis_: how | 05:43 |
| bin_bash | no | 05:43 |
| atlus | dr willis what is that 32bit deb called? | 05:44 |
| cutt3r | I have a 20GB SSD and a 500GB HDD. I want to install the OS on the SSD encrypted and the /home on the HDD encrypted. Do I need to worry about TRIM on the SSD if only the OS is going to be on the SSD? | 05:45 |
| bin_bash | Why do you guys use a distro that is also a spyware? | 05:47 |
| mehwork | i don't understand what sudo modprobe -r psmouse woulnd't fix this | 05:47 |
| RickZilla | bin_bash: Why do you troll? | 05:47 |
| bin_bash | I'm not trolling | 05:47 |
| RickZilla | Sure you are | 05:47 |
| bin_bash | I'm genuinely curious why you hate your own freedom | 05:47 |
| RickZilla | This is a channel dedicated for ubuntu support | 05:47 |
| dr_willis_ | atlus: any 32 bit deb like wine should pull in the needed 32 bit support ddebs | 05:48 |
| mehwork | bin_bash: people don't generally equate not having 100% privacy to not having freedom | 05:48 |
| mehwork | most people don't care much about certain privacy things, even though they should, but if they don't they don't. Worry about your own not others | 05:48 |
| bin_bash | mehwork, they should. That's just ignorant. | 05:48 |
| Malimbar | mehwork, I'd recommend to try not to feed the trolls. | 05:48 |
| mehwork | Malimbar: i would love to get an answer that worked and then leave | 05:49 |
| bin_bash | mehwork, did you try googling it | 05:49 |
| Malimbar | mehwork, then I would be happy to talk in separate, but not in an ubuntu support channel | 05:49 |
| Malimbar | oh wait, you meant your issue | 05:50 |
| mehwork | bin_bash: alli 'm doing is googling and asking in here and nothings working | 05:50 |
| dr_willis_ | so the mouse is dead? or just invisible cursor | 05:50 |
| Malimbar | sorry, no idea | 05:50 |
| mehwork | dr_willis_: just invisible cursor, it still moves and clicks | 05:50 |
| bin_bash | mehwork, what is the problem exactly | 05:50 |
| dr_willis_ | i firget how you change mouse themes... | 05:52 |
| Malimbar | did you do anything that may have accidentally screwed up the mouse cursor? | 05:53 |
| digitaldefector | does anyone know of a website that specializes in sharing scripts for Ubuntu? | 05:53 |
| dr_willis_ | iinvisble mouse pointers. ;( | 05:54 |
| dr_willis_ | there was a command years ago to set the cursor. xsetroot? | 05:54 |
| mehwork | Malimbar: it screws up everytime i touch the right edge of my second monitor | 05:54 |
| Malimbar | ... huh | 05:54 |
| mehwork | it's a weird problem that happens either because of the latest ubuntu or because my acer laptop isn't supported | 05:54 |
| mehwork | most likely the latter since noone else is saying it happens to them | 05:55 |

| dr_willis_ | iif it hides it.. it may bring it back | 05:56 |
| Malimbar | atlus, have you looked up ia32-libs? there should be a dev version too | 05:59 |

| mehwork | dr_willis_: i installed unclutter. Now what? | 06:01 |
| Malimbar | ah, looked it up on duckduckgo | 06:01 |
| dr_willis_ | mehwork: it hides the cursor after a few moments.. and restores it when moved. | 06:02 |
| Guest56589 | dr_willis, do i need to enable 'universe' to install with the terminal | 06:02 |
| dr_willis_ | if you are lucky | 06:02 |
| Malimbar | mehwork, just try to make your cursor invisible, wait a few seconds, and then move it again | 06:02 |
| Malimbar | if it works | 06:02 |

| mehwork | this is a nightmare :( | 06:03 |
| Malimbar | it's a weird problem too | 06:03 |
| Malimbar | I wonder what's causing it | 06:04 |
| mehwork | bad mouse drivers for acer laptops is all i can think | 06:04 |
| mehwork | it's a brand new system, maybe ubuntu doesnt support it yet | 06:04 |
| dr_willis_ | aha.. old school way to change cursor..... | 06:04 |
| dr_willis_ | xsetroot -cursor_name X_cursor | 06:04 |
| Malimbar | but, it's a display problem. would that still be caused by a driver? | 06:05 |
| Malimbar | dr_willis_, nice idea | 06:05 |
| mehwork | nice idea, but didnt work either | 06:05 |
| Malimbar | damn | 06:05 |

| mehwork | it will mess up my cursor if i touch the right edge of my screen | 06:15 |

| Malimbar | go back to the login screen | 06:16 |

| Malimbar | and it doesn't run compiz at all | 06:18 |
| mehwork | huh im pretty sure it runs compiz | 06:18 |
| Guest56589 | nick_h, home folder maybe | 06:19 |
| dr_willis_ | not on 12.04 | 06:19 |
| mehwork | ps aux | grep compiz shows it's running | 06:19 |
| mehwork | and i definitely didn't install it on my own | 06:19 |
| Malimbar | unity 2d is made from scratch with the qt kit | 06:19 |

| Malimbar | tyr unity 2d before you're messing with that though | 06:21 |
| Malimbar | not everything in compiz configuration works, and some of it breaks crap | 06:21 |
| mehwork | i don't like unity at all, can i disable it? I'd rather just use gnome-do | 06:21 |
| Malimbar | mehwork, sure | 06:22 |
| RickZilla | Where is disk utility in 12.10? It's showing up in synaptic as being installed, but I don't see it anywhere | 06:22 |
| Malimbar | but try unity 2d first for your mouse issue | 06:22 |
| dr_willis_ | install other desktops. | 06:22 |
| dr_willis_ | no unity 2d on 12.10 | 06:22 |
| dr_willis_ | its gone.... | 06:22 |

| mehwork | Malimbar: no i'm on 12.10 i messed up | 06:22 |
| Malimbar | did he? oh missed that | 06:23 |
| dr_willis_ | use gnome shell then mehwork | 06:23 |
| dr_willis_ | !gnome-shell | 06:23 |
| dr_willis_ | !gnomeshell | 06:23 |

| Malimbar | it's not the same as old gnome | 06:23 |
| dr_willis_ | old gnome is dead jim! | 06:24 |
| Malimbar | dr_willis_, never! there are forks, and at least it's less broken and weird than gnome shell | 06:24 |

| Malimbar | open the process, right click on it's priority | 06:30 |
| dr_willis_ | ffmpeg has a threads option i belive | 06:30 |
| dr_willis_ | it only uses 1 core y default i think. | 06:31 |
| Malimbar | dr_willis_, that won't use less cpu though, would it? I would imagine that would only clog it up more | 06:31 |
| chroot | dr_willis_: yes, I just saw it on google, but i haven't try it. | 06:31 |

| almoxarife | dr_willis_: super-debi? | 06:39 |
| dr_willis_ | or did i missread | 06:39 |
| dr_willis_ | a single deb with all deps included....... he said | 06:39 |
| ActionParsnip | myhero: packages, especially gui ones would have gigabytes of data to have all deps | 06:40 |
| dr_willis_ | and the deps have deps.. that have deps.. | 06:40 |
| myhero | dr_willis_: lol no..but my intention is organised backup.....apps with dependencies are hard to organise on local system | 06:41 |
| myhero | ActionParsnip: i want it for smaller apps only or the onces which i develop locally | 06:41 |
| dr_willis_ | no real need to backup the. debs from what ive seen. | 06:42 |

| dr_willis_ | bbl | 06:53 |
| Ascavasaion | almoxarife: Thank you... I was thinking that because I run Ubuntu as my primary OS, but I have a DSTV Drifta (device with an antennae used to watch TV through laptop/phone) but it only runs through Windows. So I was thinking of installing XP in Virtualbox and trying to get that to work. I tried once before with no success. I seem to think it had to do with the USB port in Virtualbox. | 06:53 |

| teubank | Ver 12.10, recently installed, gnome-session-fallback, everything working, update-manager offered new updates, which I accepted. Now system will not boot. I can get into grub rescue, but some entries there do not seem to work properly and I'm not sure what I should be seeing. E.g., Check filesystems, warning dialog, then mount messages then nothing. Ctlc-C presents console login, I login, see mounts, but when I try to look at log | 06:54 |
| teubank | files, screen goes blank -- similar to failing boot. Root console does not seem to have same problem. How should I approach this problem? | 06:54 |
| almoxarife | Ascavasaion: there are two dowloads you need, the vbox and the extentions, the usb issue will be solved | 06:55 |
| Ascavasaion | almoxarife: I hope so, thank you... let me try. | 06:55 |

| nick_h | mysteriousdarren: http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=21558 | 07:57 |

| llutz | finally... | 10:17 |
| DrManhattan | llutz, thank you very much | 10:17 |
| nbubuntu | heoyea : I checked , it's not there . Anyway to record those cmd or display cmd of extracion for rar file ? | 10:17 |
| dr_willis | unrar x foo.rar | 10:18 |
| dr_willis | i see no mention of unrar using any cache/tmp | 10:18 |
| heoyea | nbubuntu: maybe check ur history or which commands u ran | 10:18 |
| heoyea | of* | 10:18 |
| nbubuntu | heoyea : ? rar with command ? | 10:19 |
| DrManhattan | llutz, hmm, I'm looking for a web interface to iptables | 10:19 |
| DrManhattan | something like dd-wrt or firestarter | 10:19 |
| heoyea | nbubuntu: yea like where did u extract it to | 10:19 |
| llutz | DrManhattan: dd-wrt is much more than an interface to iptables. | 10:19 |
| DrManhattan | firestarter would work if it had DMZ capability, but it doesn't. I have a Vonage adapter | 10:19 |
| DrManhattan | llutz, yeah I know, I just want the interface sans the firmware | 10:20 |
| dr_willis | oops.. its unrar e foo.rar | 10:20 |
| nbubuntu | heoyea : I just open it from trash and once I close the rar file the cache should be auto delete but it's not , it stay there and eats my 1GB | 10:20 |
| DrManhattan | llutz, dd-wrt's interface to an ubuntu-based router would rock, especially on something like a quad core box, so I could run a ton of services on it | 10:21 |

| dr_willis | dmz is not just a simple thing.. from what im reading in the iptables guides | 10:21 |
| DrManhattan | dr_willis, it is on most routers | 10:21 |
| dr_willis | yhusha: your path is wrong | 10:21 |
| llutz | DrManhattan: i prefer luci (openwrt) :) | 10:21 |
| DrManhattan | punch in an ip or mac and apply :) | 10:21 |
| dr_willis | yhusha: remove the tilda | 10:21 |
| DrManhattan | llutz, so far so good on dd-wrt but im only running a WAP | 10:22 |
| dr_willis | yhusha: /home/yourusername | 10:22 |
| nbubuntu | heoyea : seems like it's archive manager which I am using to unrar the file | 10:22 |
| dr_willis | or just the tilda | 10:22 |
| yhusha | oh yea its same thing | 10:22 |
| DrManhattan | I suppose I could run the WAP off the ubuntu box instead of a router. That would be pretty easy and I think I CAN do that with basic gui tools | 10:22 |

| MeanEYE | Anyone has any idea how to fix this issue with nVidia drivers? At one point Xorg driver just dissapeared and I can't get it back. Reconfiguring nvidia-current installes kernel module, which works fine, but Xorg log file tells me there's no "nvidia" module available. | 11:15 |

| manners | was expecting the type to be ntfs | 11:43 |
| heoyea | so u can see the drive but cant go into it? | 11:43 |
| manners | says""/dev/sdb1 on /media/Elements type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096) | 11:43 |
| irocksu | manners how did you mount it? | 11:44 |
| bekks | maylow: There is no alternative, since the concept of zones is not available on non-Solaris. | 11:45 |
| bekks | maylow: A different conceptis LXC. | 11:45 |
| maylow | bekks: freebsd has jails :) | 11:45 |
| manners | i didnt i assume it just mounted automatically | 11:45 |
| bekks | maylow: Which is a totally different concept compared with zones. | 11:45 |
| irocksu | manners: well try to mount it manually with -t ntfs | 11:46 |

| sprezzatura | SolarisBoy: There is something odd about the IPV6INIT=no and seeing an IPV6 address though | 12:34 |
| rgrig | Any idea why would the terminal window resize (to the default size) whenever I switch back-and-forth viewports? | 12:36 |
| sprezzatura | SolarisBoy: this is even more interesting : /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/bond1/disable_ipv6 has 0 | 12:39 |
| wdp | hey. I asked yesterday already but got no response. I have three intel nics and would like them to have the names eth0, eth1, eth2.Instead they're named em0, eth1 and p260p1. any idea how I can change that? | 12:40 |

| spexi | Hi! Just restarted Ubuntu Server 12.04 after updates, that needed to restart the system. Those updates came about a week ago. Now pinging google says "unknown host" and when trying to start irssi, connecting to networks says "Temporary failure in name resolution". Any ideas? | 12:45 |
| llutz | wdp: take it as an expample line, add 2 more rules, change MAC and NAME | 12:46 |
| bekks | spexi: Check your DNS server setting. | 12:46 |
| spexi | Anything I could try? | 12:46 |
| llutz | s/MAC/ATTR{address}/ | 12:46 |
| wdp | llutz, right. The header states that one should only change the value of the NAME= key - Will ubuntu modify those rules on update? | 12:46 |
| spexi | bekks: where I need to check something? Like in which file? | 12:47 |
| bekks | spexi: /etc/resolv.conf | 12:47 |
| llutz | wdp idk, but you can cirumvent that with creating a new file, name starting with a hnumber >70 | 12:47 |
| spexi | It contains: # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) | # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN | 12:47 |
| llutz | number* | 12:47 |
| wdp | llutz, thanks a lot. Trying. | 12:48 |
| spexi | Is there some other file to check? If I can't edit that by hand | 12:48 |
| keyser_soze | i've a question, guys | 12:52 |
| keyser_soze | i keep getting E:broken packages error, when i try installing | 12:52 |
| keyser_soze | i tried apt-get update as well, it doesnt work | 12:52 |
| spexi | other website says that I should edit file /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head, but it has the same information that resolv.conf. that I shouldn't edit by hand | 12:52 |
| spexi | How could I get the networking to work? | 12:53 |
| bekks | spexi: Do you have a valid IP address= | 12:53 |
| llutz | spexi: /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head is the file to edit, the warning shown in this file is just copied to /etc/resolv.conf and doesn't really apply to "head" | 12:53 |
| jrib | keyser_soze: you have no idea why? No unofficial repositories (including PPAs)? No packages outside the repositories? | 12:53 |
| Danic | hi | 12:54 |
| spexi | bekks: ifconfig: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1418807/ | 12:54 |
| spexi | so yeah, i have static ip 10.0.0.7 | 12:54 |
| keyser_soze | jrib: no, no unofficial repos | 12:55 |
| jrib | keyser_soze: pastebin full error message | 12:55 |
| Danic | whenever i search for something using "Dash Home" i get a lot of advertise and stuff. how can i remove that? | 12:55 |
| spexi | llutz: I have nothing in file "base", and the file original contains "nameserver 10.0.0.2" which is correct | 12:55 |
| spexi | but should that be in file head? | 12:55 |
| jrib | !adlens | Danic | 12:55 |
| ubottu | Danic: If you wish not to see "More Suggestions" from places like Amazon in your Ubuntu 12.10, simply remove the package unity-lens-shopping, or adjust your Privacy settings as shown here: http://goo.gl/kFO4u . Mark Shuttleworth's blog entry on this is at http://goo.gl/uF7zZ | 12:55 |
| llutz | spexi: wherever you want, those 3 files (head, base, tail) will just be concatenated into /etc/resolv.conf. | 12:56 |
| sprezzatura | SolarisBoy: there? | 12:57 |
| llutz | spexi: so if you want your nameserver be the first, add it to head. if it is to be the last one, edit "tail" | 12:57 |
| spexi | llutz: there is base, head and original, and original contains the nameserver section | 12:57 |
| spexi | okay | 12:57 |
| Danic | ubottu, funny i cant remove it in the software center. but apt-get worked good. thx | 12:58 |
| ubottu | Danic: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 12:58 |
| spexi | llutz: thanks, that worked! I moved the nameserver line to file "head" | 12:59 |
| fragmachine | Is there a way to build an panel applet with Ruby? | 12:59 |
| fragmachine | I only stuff for python, C etc | 12:59 |

| manners | right guys i really hope someone can help and tell me what im doing wrong | 13:11 |
| bekks | manners: just ask... | 13:11 |
| inop2603 | Howdy! :DDD | 13:11 |
| manners | iv got a usb drive shared via ubuntu and i can see and browse it from my windows machine however i cant edit any files or open them | 13:11 |
| manners | drive mount info looks like this "/dev/sdb1 on /media/Elements type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096)" | 13:13 |
| PatrickDickey | manners, try this in a terminal. ls -l /media Tell me what the permissions are for the drive | 13:14 |
| manners | but please be easy with me as im not a linux user in the slightest just know its alot less hungry than window | 13:14 |
| manners | s | 13:14 |
| MonkeyDust | manners time to switch to linux | 13:14 |
| manners | the drive isnt listed there | 13:14 |
| NoNameProduct | hello - I have got a question. My question is: Is there a Source Code Distribution available for the actual ubuntu distribution ? | 13:15 |
| manners | it was auto mounted | 13:15 |
| PatrickDickey | manners: Here's the thing (I'm guessing). /media is owned by root. You probably don't have the proper permissions for any other user to edit files. | 13:15 |
| bekks | NoNameProduct: No. | 13:15 |
| PatrickDickey | manners: type mount and look to see if it shows up. | 13:15 |
| manners | ok and how can i change it | 13:15 |
| bekks | NoNameProduct: But you can recomplie everything you've installed. | 13:15 |
| manners | when mounts is typed the above shows up | 13:15 |
| manners | <manners> drive mount info looks like this "/dev/sdb1 on /media/Elements type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096)" | 13:16 |
| PatrickDickey | ok in your terminal, type cd /media | 13:16 |
| MonkeyDust | NoNameProduct use apt-get source to get the source of any package | 13:16 |
| manners | drwx------ 1 manners manners 28672 Dec 8 12:39 Elements | 13:17 |
| PatrickDickey | manners: Do you have any files on the USB that need to be executed? | 13:17 |
| bekks | manners: Pastebin the entire output of "mount" and "sudo fdisk -l" please. | 13:17 |
| NoNameProduct | bekks: That is not what I want to do because I am interested in software development generally and I want source code of already developed software, 'cause reading software sources is helpful for me while learning the one or the other programming language | 13:17 |
| bekks | NoNameProduct: Then just use apt-get source | 13:18 |
| manners | http://pastebin.com/ic2ghXKA <<< mount | 13:18 |
| manners | http://pastebin.com/VLRU79Yd <<< the fdisk is on the bottom | 13:19 |
| bekks | manners: And the detailed problem now is...? | 13:20 |
| PatrickDickey | manners you'll probably need to chmod the directory. For being able to read/write, it's something like this: sudo chmod -R 766 Elements If you have any .exe programs on the drive, then it's sudo chmod -R 777 Elements You have to do this from inside of the /media directory (at least how I have the commands listed). | 13:20 |
| bekks | PatrickDickey: Which will not work on NTFS. | 13:21 |
| === Youri is now known as YBook | ||
| bekks | So not suggest things like that please, especially with unwanted 777 permissions. | 13:21 |
| MonkeyDust | chmod 755 should do | 13:22 |
| Ben64 | chmod still won't do anything for ntfs | 13:23 |
| bekks | And we still dont know about the actual problem. | 13:24 |
| sachin__ | hello all can anybody help me installing lava data card on ubuntu 12.04 i have ubuntu specific usb driver files that came with data card flash storage | 13:24 |
| guang_ | i have mounted the dvd,but after running "sudo fdisk -l",the dvd system is not listed. | 13:26 |
| bekks | guang_: A dvd is never shown using fdisk -l | 13:26 |
| MonkeyDust | guang_ what's on the dvd? | 13:26 |
| guang_ | some file on it | 13:26 |
| guang_ | bekks:what command can be used for it? | 13:27 |
| bekks | guang_: For doing what? | 13:27 |
| guang_ | bekks:for looking up its file system | 13:27 |
| bekks | guang_: You have to mount it. | 13:27 |
| guang_ | bekks:i have mounted it | 13:28 |
| Ben64 | then try "mount" | 13:28 |
| bekks | guang_: Then use ls | 13:28 |
| guang_ | bekks:i can access the file in it | 13:28 |
| bekks | guang_: Then why do you try to use fdisk? | 13:28 |
| Kr4ut | hoi | 13:29 |
| guang_ | bekks:fdisk -l can list the file system mounted on my computer. | 13:29 |
| Ben64 | guang_: use "mount" | 13:29 |
| guang_ | got it. | 13:30 |
| bekks | guang_: Which is wrong. fdisk cant list filesystems at all. It lists partitions, no matter wether they are mounted ot not. | 13:30 |
| NoNameProduct | And now I have gut a suggestion. Well ... why doesn't Canonical realize distributing a "Unubuntu" ( 'Unity Ubuntu' - I don't actually know a better Distribution Name ), and additionally produce something like "Gubuntu" ( Gnome Ubuntu ) ? I am pretty sure that I am not the only one worldwide who doesn't even like the Unity Desktop ... | 13:30 |
| Ben64 | NoNameProduct: it's easily removed, but it is the default Ubuntu desktop now | 13:31 |
| guang_ | bekks:if i umount the usb,i can not see the usb partitions. | 13:31 |
| guang_ | bekks:by using "fdisk -l" | 13:32 |
| PatrickDickey | guang_: If you're looking for the filesystem on the DVD, it's most likely UDF. That's typically what is used with CD and DVD. | 13:32 |
| bekks | guang_: fdisk -l doesnt even know whats "mounted" or not. | 13:32 |
| Ben64 | shouldn't be using fdisk to check what filesystem is mounted anyway | 13:33 |
| bekks | Ben64: No. | 13:33 |
| bekks | Ben64: fdisk -l doesnt care about filesystems, it cares about blockdevices and partitions only. | 13:33 |
| Ben64 | I know... | 13:34 |
| MonkeyDust | guang_ try sudo blkid | 13:34 |

| wdp | llutz, thanks, that worked. I'm just curious if it could be a problem that I named them differently from what the kernel reported. But actually it seems to work. The kernel reports the first onboard nic as eth0, the pcie nic as eth1 and the second onboard nic as eth2. The weird naming was because there was only one udev rule for eth1. I added rules so that the pcie nic is eth0, and the two onboard nics are eth1 and eth2 (which makes sense in our setup) | 13:41 |
| wdp | llutz, so, thanks again .) | 13:41 |

| llutz | Varazir: initctl status lightdm >/dev/null 2>&1 || echo "not running" | 13:53 |
| llutz | Varazir: sry, it has an option for this: initctl --quiet status lightdm || echo "not running" | 13:55 |
| Varazir | llutz: I don't get how dose that tell me the diffrens if the job is running or not ? | 13:55 |
| guang_ | after i run command "sudo dd if=dev/sr0 of=dvd bs=10 count=512",i run command "hexdump -C dvd",find the file dvd is filled with "0". | 13:55 |

| === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st | ||
| theadmin | Varazir: Well that obviously returns yes -- the "echo 'not running'" command has no reason to fail, so your if-condition is always true | 14:00 |
| llutz | Varazir: if (initctl --quiet status lightdm ); then echo "YES" ; else echo "NO"; fi | 14:01 |
| Varazir | theadmin: I thought of that removed || echo "not running" and run it again with the same result | 14:01 |
| theadmin | That returns "yes" here even though I don't have lightdm installed :/ | 14:02 |
| Varazir | llutz: that gives me YES on both running and stoped jobs | 14:02 |
| BluesKaj | Howdy all | 14:02 |
| llutz | Varazir: if (initctl status lightdm |grep running); then echo "YES" ; else echo "NO"; fi | 14:03 |
| Varazir | I guess I have to do it the dirty way to use awk and print second value to a varible and run a IF statement on that | 14:03 |
| theadmin | I honestly don't even. Can't you just "pgrep lightdm"? Doesn't really correspond to the service running, but will do with the process... | 14:03 |
| Varazir | llutz: that would work too | 14:03 |
| llutz | theadmin: i also would go for: if ( pgrep lightdm >/dev/null ); then foo | 14:04 |

| read1 | k1l: yes, it is from that computer. is my ubuntu 12.10 | 14:32 |
| k1l_ | so the laptop with the problem is the macbook? | 14:33 |

| read1 | k1l: yes, i am using a macbook pro and I installed ubuntu 12.10 desktop on it | 14:33 |
| Eagleman | escott_ i have no idea, i enabled x11 forwarding and it works perfectl;y with virt-manager | 14:33 |
| k1l_ | read1: ok. this is an important information. apple macbooks used to need a special ubuntu version to run. but i dont know if this is still true these days | 14:34 |
| read1 | wildwind: what you mean by try typing it in dash? are you asking me to type open system-log-viewer | 14:34 |
| escott_ | Eagleman, ok. are you trying to do x forwarding with putty under windows? if so do you have xming or some other x server installed and running | 14:34 |
| Eagleman | escott_ like i said if i execute virt-manager in puty xming will show me the window | 14:35 |

| escott_ | Eagleman, i dont understand what you are doing and when you are getting error messages. why don't you paste.ubuntu.com the entire session that errors so i can figure out what you are trying to do | 14:36 |
| read1 | k1l: ok, so you want me to find out if macbooks have difficulty having ubuntu installed? | 14:36 |
| k1l_ | read1: could be. but you should look out which macbook type you have and then look out for how-tos and experiences with that | 14:37 |
| read1 | k1l: ok, so then you concluding that the problem might be with my computer not the system log or the lspci right? | 14:38 |
| wildwind | read1: typing "system log" is enough to find it | 14:39 |
| k1l_ | read1: the problem is with your hardware. the system log and lspci were only commands to see if there is some information about what is wrong | 14:39 |

| escott_ | Eagleman, that doesnt include any error messages. | 14:42 |
| k1l_ | read1: i dont have that much time now. so i couldnt assist you one that. but if you ask here maybe someone will help | 14:42 |
| Eagleman | There is no error message, it just wont boot with adjustable resolution | 14:42 |
| escott_ | Eagleman, ok so this has nothing to do with putty. the problem is that you cannot give windows a different resolution with the -vga argument | 14:43 |
| escott_ | Eagleman, you might ask in #kvm | 14:43 |

| llutz | prawnsalad: remove the # | 15:10 |
| prawnsalad | llutz: because the line it didnt pick up was: dns-servers 87.117.198.200 87.117.237.100 87.117.196.200 | 15:10 |
| prawnsalad | which is the line im using on 2 other working boxes | 15:10 |
| llutz | prawnsalad: because it has to be "dns-nameserver x.x.x.x | 15:10 |
| llutz | prawnsalad: err "dns-nameservers x.x.x.x" | 15:10 |
| prawnsalad | then im confused as to why the others are working? | 15:11 |
| llutz | prawnsalad: this line should work: "dns-nameservers 87.117.198.200 87.117.237.100 87.117.196.200" | 15:11 |
| llutz | prawnsalad: ifupdown/resolvconf have no keyword "dns-servers" | 15:12 |
| prawnsalad | ok, will change that | 15:12 |
| prawnsalad | /etc/resolv.conf is generated on boot from the interface config, is that right? | 15:13 |
| llutz | prawnsalad: yes | 15:13 |

| prawnsalad | same ubuntu version | 15:14 |

| prawnsalad | after a fresh OS install, database/nodejs/firewalls/users setup, a reboot about 4 or 5 hours ago, nothing else has been done to the boxes | 15:16 |

| rex_ | Sail: ok let me try. | 16:13 |
| Malimbar | LgNexus4, too many internet debates recently. wears ya down | 16:13 |
| wildwind | rex_: "best" in what sense? space, time, pretty look? | 16:13 |
| rex_ | space | 16:13 |
| Malimbar | wildwind, pretty look? | 16:13 |
| escott_ | nick_h, i've never seen anyone do that but it has nothing at all to do with parallelization of anything | 16:13 |
| wildwind | Malimbar: :) | 16:13 |
| hych | Malimbar: this should work for 12. | 16:14 |
| Malimbar | :) | 16:14 |
| hych | Install Unity Bottom Oneiric Launcher on Ubuntu 11.10 | 16:14 |
| nick_h | escott_: heh thans | 16:14 |
| NoNameProduct | is pretty look really important about a compression software? most important is if it works efficient or it doesn't ... | 16:14 |
| nick_h | *thanks | 16:14 |
| === gpix13_away is now known as gpix13 | ||
| wildwind | rex_: I think rar, 7zip and freearc is on top in terms of space | 16:15 |
| Malimbar | NoNameProduct, then again compressing from right click is kind've sexy | 16:15 |
| hych | Okay, I will try what Malimbar recommend | 16:15 |
| hych | thanks all | 16:15 |
| Malimbar | hope it works | 16:15 |
| rex_ | how to check the compression is good or bad, i mean trying on big file or small. Which will show good result. I want to compress more than in GB files. | 16:16 |
| LgNexus4 | Malimbar just people catching on to idea of more then one way to skin a tiger. :) good chat have to work on cell pgone rooting pain in the butt | 16:16 |
| rex_ | Right click compression does not show good compression on small files | 16:16 |
| wildwind | NoNameProduct: hey, I'm just kidding, Windows-user housewife style | 16:16 |
| llutz | sail either ignore that apache-warning or set a fqdn in your hosts-file like "127.0.1.1 foo.example.com foo", or set one in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf "ServerName bla.example.com" | 16:16 |
| NoNameProduct | wildwind ;) | 16:16 |

| larry_ | hi, does anyone know how to get photoprint to work in 12.04? I have managed a work around but would like it to run | 16:17 |
| escott_ | rex_, for small files there may not be enough to compress | 16:17 |
| Malimbar | what type of file btw? | 16:17 |
| hych | on the desktop screen, when I press a button on the keyboard there is a pop up small box that comes up on the right side of the screen..what is that box for?? | 16:18 |
| Sail | llutz: i dont hav httpd.conf in apache2 dir should i create it? | 16:18 |
| Heather_ | can someon recommend a good application for monitoring activity on my web server? Like statistics etc | 16:18 |

| NoNameProduct | you won't be able to compress mp3 efficiently ... | 16:19 |
| NoNameProduct | 'cause mp3 is a compressed format | 16:19 |
| rex_ | ok | 16:19 |
| Sexy_SaxMan | Hello. I'm going to be installing ubuntu on a friends computer. any tips? | 16:20 |
| Malimbar | that would be like trying to compress a zip file | 16:20 |
| girffe | I have a GTX 680, using NVIDIA's drivers, version 295.33 | 16:20 |
| rex_ | i have seen a 6.1 gb compressed in just 12mb | 16:20 |
| rex_ | , how can it be possible. | 16:20 |
| wildwind | rex_: same goes for mp4 video :) | 16:20 |
| escott_ | rex_, mp3 already compressed, mp4 already compressed, pdf already compressed, videoes already compressed... sensing a pattern here? | 16:20 |
| Malimbar | rex_, if there is a LOT of repitition in the file | 16:20 |
| bekks | rex_: Having a 4TB file with "0" only, you can compress it to even less than 12MB :) | 16:20 |
| Kroach | how can I filter stdout to leave only the last line with sed(or maybe another tool)? | 16:21 |
| rex_ | bekks: how | 16:21 |
| Malimbar | bekks, like in the kb range! | 16:21 |
| girffe | Kroach: tail -1 | 16:21 |
| rex_ | kgb? | 16:21 |
| wildwind | rex_: but it can be re-compressed to any desired size, with proportional loss of quality | 16:21 |
| llutz | rex_: "dd if=/dev/zero of=bigfile bs=10g count=1" then "tar -czf bigfile.tgz && ls -l bigfile*" be surprised | 16:21 |
| llutz | 10G | 16:21 |
| bekks | rex_: You just need to know how many 0 are in there, you dont need to store each 0. | 16:21 |
| larry_ | I have come to the conclusion 12.04 is ubuntus answer to viats | 16:21 |
| bekks | larry_: What is "viats"? | 16:22 |
| Malimbar | rex_, it would store something like (0 x 10 ^ 34) | 16:22 |
| larry_ | vista | 16:22 |
| NoNameProduct | escott while compressing pdf you might be able to reach a compression ratio of 70% or even less ... it's dependent of the pdf file itself | 16:22 |
| larry_ | me no typee good | 16:22 |
| bekks | Malimbar: I just would store "0" and "10^34". | 16:22 |
| lee_ | I have a file named :w how I can delete with git rm | 16:22 |
| Malimbar | right | 16:22 |
| llutz | lee_: rm -- ":w" | 16:22 |
| rex_ | which will work, without loosing file quality? | 16:23 |
| llutz | lee_: wait, git rm? | 16:23 |
| rex_ | Malimbar: seems too small | 16:23 |
| NoNameProduct | compressing files with zip or tar.gz or even rar will always work without losing file quali | 16:23 |
| bekks | rex_: Think of ten sheet of paper, each with a 0 on it. Do you need to keep all ten sheets? | 16:23 |
| llutz | lee_:git rm -- ":w" | 16:24 |
| lee_ | llutz, yes | 16:24 |
| rex_ | bekks: no | 16:24 |
| bekks | rex_: Or would it be ok to keep just one, and another with "10x" on it? | 16:24 |
| Kroach | girffe: tail accepts filenames as it's arguments, I need something to use like this: "command | filter", so that I get only the last line of "command" output | 16:24 |
| escott_ | Kroach, how about tail? | 16:24 |
| lee_ | lledet, it doesn work . | 16:24 |
| ollie_ | I'm using 12.04, installed amd drivers from the website, and now everything is red. booted into recovery mode and dropped to a root shell, what do I do? I cant seem to apt-get anything, soomething about a read only lock file | 16:24 |
| rex_ | llutz: how much it will compress? | 16:24 |
| llutz | Kroach: cmd | tail -1 | 16:25 |
| llutz | rex_: "a lot" | 16:25 |
| rex_ | llutz: any guess? | 16:25 |
| llutz | rex_: no | 16:25 |
| bekks | rex_: It strongly depends on the data to be compressed. | 16:25 |
| wildwind | rex_: in your case all possible compression with acceptible quality loss was done before. You need a new hdd, i think ^:) | 16:25 |
| Kroach | llutz: I just tried it, it prints the whole output anyway | 16:25 |
| girffe | Kroach: if you give no arguments to tail, it will read from stdin | 16:25 |
| rex_ | wildwind: i think same | 16:26 |
| llutz | Kroach:what command | 16:26 |
| llutz | Kroach: cmd 2>&1| tail -1 | 16:26 |
| girffe | Kroach: so cmd | tail -1 should give you what you want | 16:26 |
| manners | grrr now im the owner of the files i still cant chmod them | 16:27 |
| llutz | Kroach: if "cmd" writes output not only to STDOUT, you have to redirect it | 16:27 |
| rex_ | But i have downloaded some "snow darwin" file name to install Apple Mac OS X in vmware player. THat file size is just less than 20mb, and when i extract it, its properties show 6.2gb near that. Without any los of quality nor of any software | 16:27 |
| Kroach | girffe, llutz: the command is gpg -d filename, and there's no difference in output between gpg -d filename and gpg -d filename | tail -1 | 16:27 |
| escott_ | manners, you were given the answer to this question earlier. please stop wasting our time | 16:28 |
| hych | how do I remove the search Malimbar | 16:28 |
| manners | sorry i must have missed it | 16:28 |
| manners | scrolling now | 16:28 |
| Sail | llutz: not working | 16:28 |
| escott_ | manners, your files are on an NTFS partition. you CANNOT chmod them | 16:28 |
| girffe | Kroach: It's likely what llutz was saying, then, that some or all of the output from gpg is actually to stderr, so 2>&1| would direct both stderr and sdtout to tail | 16:28 |
| hych | manners: I am in system settings | 16:28 |
| escott_ | manners, it is not a POSIX filesystem and does not support POSIX permissions | 16:29 |
| hych | how do i remove the search box | 16:29 |
| Malimbar | hych, remove the search? | 16:29 |
| hych | when I type something in the search box nothing happen | 16:29 |
| bekks | manners: You have been told three times at least. You even responded to those comments. | 16:29 |
| hych | yes, the small box on the desktop | 16:29 |
| larry_ | how van i copy a file from memory stick into a directory? | 16:29 |
| larry_ | oops | 16:29 |
| Malimbar | eh... you're using the new rotated unity now, right? | 16:29 |
| larry_ | how can i copy a file from memory stick into a directory? | 16:30 |
| * Malimbar shrugs | 16:30 | |
| escott_ | Kroach, do you need to redirect stderr to stdout? command -options 2>&1 | tail -1 | 16:30 |
| Malimbar | no idea | 16:30 |
| hych | yes manners | 16:30 |
| hych | yes Malimbar | 16:30 |
| manners | the only answer i was told is its to do with the way its mounted | 16:30 |
| Malimbar | larry_, drag and drop? | 16:30 |
| manners | can someone explain how on earth i change the way its mounted? | 16:30 |
| manners | or give me a link to an idiots guide | 16:30 |
| llutz | !ntfs-3g | manners | 16:30 |
| ubottu | manners: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 16:30 |
| escott_ | !fstab | manners | 16:30 |
| ubottu | manners: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 16:30 |
| larry_ | it wont allow it, says i dont have permission | 16:30 |
| escott_ | larry_, what are the permissions on the file? | 16:31 |
| IdleOne | larry_: sudo cp /path/of/file /where/to/copy | 16:31 |
| larry_ | it is a printer file that phtoprint needs. | 16:31 |
| girffe | manners: why do you want to chmod the files? iirc, it's already 777 for all files in a mounted NTFS partition. Do you want to change that for security reasons, or because the ls coloring is messed up? | 16:31 |
| Malimbar | right click on the file and click properties | 16:31 |
| manners | ntfs-3g wont install properly as its requires samba4 which failes to install | 16:31 |
| Kroach | llutz, girffe, escott_: gpg -d fname 2>&1 | tail -1 still prints the whole output | 16:31 |
| larry_ | what do i call the siurce path ( stick ) | 16:32 |
| girffe | Kroach: try tail -f1 instead, I've had some issues in portability with that option | 16:32 |
| escott_ | girffe, how can you follow stdin | 16:33 |
| larry_ | sorry I have become absolutel P--- off with 12.04, I cant find anything because of the stupid menus and pop ups | 16:33 |
| Kroach | girffe: it prints: "tail: option used in invalid context -- 1" in the beginning and strips the last line from gpg's output | 16:33 |
| girffe | Kroach, escott_: sorry, wrong letter, meant to say "tail -n1" | 16:34 |
| larry_ | reaches for 10.1 installation disc | 16:34 |
| neodemi_ | hi, my computers been itching at me for a while that 11.04 is no longer supported and to go to 11.10 | 16:34 |
| neodemi_ | just upgraded, and gnome is now gone | 16:34 |
| escott_ | !upgrade | neodemi_ | 16:34 |
| ubottu | neodemi_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 16:34 |
| neodemi_ | any way to get it back and get rid of this hideous bastardisation of a gui that is unity | 16:34 |
| veyoon | larry_: felt the same at the beginning, now I love it | 16:34 |
| escott_ | !notunity | neodemi_ | 16:34 |
| ubottu | neodemi_: 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 | 16:34 |
| lws | Anybody know why ubuntu keeps telling me that it's going to check my drives on the next startup, but never does? | 16:35 |

| lws | "*** /dev/sdb1 will be checked for errors at next reboot ** <-- this never goes away. | 16:35 |

| Malimbar | lws, it never does? that's weird. | 16:36 |
| === database is now known as developer | ||
| girffe | Kroach: that's weird to me, can you try just making a test text file with a couple of lines, and doing 'cat file | tail -1'? | 16:36 |
| lws | Malimbar: I think so too! | 16:36 |
| girffe | Kroach: not sure why tail isn't doing anything | 16:36 |
| larry_ | veyoon, where i was one click away now i have to shut three windows and walk around the desk four times with a foot in my ear.. leastwise thats how it feels | 16:36 |
| llutz | girffe: tail -1 file, please no cat misuse .) | 16:37 |
| Kroach | girffe: it works fine with the file | 16:37 |
| veyoon | larry_: yeah, I know. you need to get used to it | 16:37 |
| Malimbar | lws, stupid question, how are you shutting it down? | 16:37 |
| girffe | llutz: I just want to replicate the situation so it's reading from stdin | 16:37 |
| escott_ | Kroach, works for me. is this symmetric or asymetric cipher | 16:37 |
| lws | Malimbar: Usually I do shutdown -r now | 16:37 |
| girffe | Kroach: try gpg -d fname > out.txt | 16:37 |
| veyoon | larry_: but there is a lot you can customize by using compiz config utlitiy | 16:37 |
| LS1 | hi, anyone here know if the Intel 330 series solid state drives support AES 128 encryption if one sets an HDD password via the BIOS? I know the 320 and 520 series do but I'm finding mixed info from Intel tech support and on forums. Is there a way to check? | 16:37 |
| Kroach | escott_: asymetric | 16:37 |
| girffe | and see if you get any output to the terminal, and what the contents are of out.txt | 16:37 |
| larry_ | ve for instance now i want to look atthe disk structure (places) but cant see how | 16:38 |
| larry_ | it is very frustrating | 16:38 |
| Malimbar | try using the normal menu in the upper right next time | 16:38 |
| escott_ | Kroach, and your command line is "gpg -d filename.gpg 2>&1 | tail -1" | 16:38 |
| larry_ | veyoon, is there a utilty to disable all the bouncy icons abd put my tool bar back on top ? | 16:38 |
| Kroach | girffe: I know about this one, I just wanted to do this without writing the output to a file | 16:39 |
| veyoon | larry_: maybe you try mate, xfce or another window manager instead | 16:39 |
| girffe | Kroach: yeah, I just want to see what happens | 16:39 |
| girffe | Kroach: and make sure all of the output is indeed to stdout | 16:39 |
| veyoon | larry_: making unity look like gnome2 doesn't make much sense | 16:40 |
| larry_ | thanks veyoon but it seems much simpler to just instal 10.1 withthe added advantage photoprint will work | 16:40 |
| veyoon | larry_: I wouldnt revert to an older version, just install another window manager and youre fine | 16:41 |
| larry_ | seems like they wanted some thing to look and work like vista | 16:41 |
| jiltdil | Channel for scada? | 16:41 |
| Kroach | girffe: gpg -d filename > ouput.txt prints all the GPG info(user, key ID, etc.) and only writes decrypted file contents to output.txt | 16:42 |
| larry_ | thanks, have tried cairo butthat just puts more bouncy icons on the screen stealingthe bottom of the screen as well as the left hand side, maybe it would be better to have two screens, one for me to use and one for the os to look pretty | 16:42 |
| girffe | Kroach: and the info you want is the last line output.txt? | 16:42 |
| llutz | Kroach: try gpg -qd ... | 16:43 |
| Kroach | girffe: yes | 16:43 |
| escott_ | Kroach, there is a bit of extraneous information I guess related to stdin and the need to request the password, but its fine otherwise | 16:43 |
| girffe | Kroach: gpg -d filename 2> /dev/null | tail -1 | 16:43 |
| lee_ | I get in the #git channel ,but it prompts #git cannot send to channel . why? | 16:44 |
| Kroach | llutz: the output is the same | 16:44 |
| veyoon | larry_: I found getting used to sth new is the better way. Someday all the legacy stuff will be gone any way | 16:44 |
| larry_ | even the software center cant list files alphabetivally | 16:44 |
| Malimbar | software center has a lot of organizational issues I think | 16:45 |
| larry_ | maybe but in the meantime when I want to print I have to reboot onto my win xp partition, not ideal | 16:45 |
| neodemi_ | alright, i've installed gnome-shell | 16:45 |
| Kroach | girffe: this still gives the same output | 16:45 |
| Malimbar | neodemi_, hope you like it | 16:45 |
| Malimbar | throws me off personally | 16:46 |
| neodemi_ | it looks like crap | 16:46 |
| Malimbar | lol; | 16:46 |
| neodemi_ | there are no icons | 16:46 |

| neodemi_ | so no idea how to make 11.10 use gnome 2 | 16:52 |
| girffe | Kroach: I don't even know how the GPG info is still printing, since tail isn't producing it, gpg is piped to tail, and gpg's stderr should be going to /dev/null | 16:52 |
| escott | neodemi_, you cant use gnome2 | 16:53 |
| girffe | at the very least, you should be able to pipe that tail -1 command into something else, and it will only read that line | 16:53 |

| neodemi_ | any way to make gnome 3 behave the same as gnome 2 then | 16:53 |
| Kroach | girfe: seems like only the decrypted content is printed to stdout, the GPG info overrides any filtering I tried to apply | 16:54 |
| girffe | Kroach: if you do gpg -d filename > /dev/null 2> /dev/null, do you still get any output to the screen? | 16:54 |
| neodemi_ | because its currently either horribly broken, or trying to look like a mac | 16:54 |
| neodemi_ | neither of which is much use | 16:54 |

| ubottu | socomm: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 17:00 |
| Kroach | escott: the same | 17:01 |
| escott | Kroach, clearly they have some security based reason for doing this. not sure what it is. why do you need to redirect everything like this? | 17:01 |
| Rustyblade | Max401: Hey max? | 17:02 |
| socomm | wow this upstart thing is not very good | 17:02 |
| girffe | Kroach: if you want to pipe the last line to something else, you can just do 'gpg -d filename | tail -f | othercommand', and ignore the other stuff printed to the console | 17:02 |
| girffe | Kroach: and by tail -f I meant tail -1 | 17:03 |
| abdostar | I am hooked guys, I just come here to say it, I love my new OS, I love my Distros (mint et ubuntu), | 17:04 |
| Rustyblade | Hey guys | 17:04 |
| Rustyblade | I am need of installing wine but I get these problems when I try "sudo apt-get install wine" or "sudo apt-get install wine1.4-amd64" | 17:05 |

| TwinSwords | Hey guys anyone in here that can help with problems on Ubuntu? | 17:05 |
| Rustyblade | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1419225/ | 17:05 |
| Malimbar | Rustyblade, why not install it through the software center? | 17:06 |
| === developer is now known as unix | ||
| Rustyblade | It says it has dependencies problems | 17:06 |
| roasted | Question - I have two file servers. Once a day I want to rsync server A to server B. The trick is, I want server B to automatically shut down when the rsync is complete. Not at a specific time, but after rsync is complete. Any insight on how I could do this? | 17:06 |
| Malimbar | hmm | 17:06 |
| escott | TwinSwords, check alsamixer and see if anything is maxed out | 17:06 |
| === jdfm90-lo is now known as dury | ||
| escott | roasted, shutdown -h now | 17:06 |
| TwinSwords | Master, PCM, Front, and Mic are all maxed out | 17:06 |
| Rustyblade | So.. No one can help me? | 17:07 |
| Kroach | girffe, escott: I was trying to use the last line of output as a variable in a bash script, so I wanted to reduce the ouput to the last line only | 17:07 |
| escott | TwinSwords, try taking those down to 80% and see if it helps | 17:07 |
| roasted | escott: without being root, preferably. | 17:08 |
| Malimbar | Rustyblade, try it from the software center isntead of through the command line | 17:08 |
| escott | Kroach, seems a bit silly. just let it be a little noisy | 17:08 |
| escott | roasted, setuid on shutdown? | 17:08 |
| Rustyblade | I get this | 17:08 |
| roasted | escott: er, what? | 17:08 |
| girffe | Kroach: var=`gpg -d filename | tail -1` ought to do this | 17:08 |
| Kroach | girffe, escott: I just thought the whole output will get assigned to the variable | 17:09 |
| Malimbar | the difference is that it's already cleaned of syntax, and hopefully of at least some of the broken packages | 17:09 |
| TwinSwords | nope doesn't work on any of my players | 17:09 |
| roasted | escott: come to think of it, can't I add an entry in sudoers allowing me to pass that command without root? | 17:09 |
| escott | roasted, sudo chmod +s `which shutdown` | 17:09 |
| Rustyblade | http://imagebin.org/238537 | 17:09 |
| girffe | this should work, since we saw earlier that tail -1 printed only the correct line to the file | 17:09 |
| Malimbar | damn | 17:09 |
| Malimbar | I'm out of ideas | 17:09 |
| roasted | escott: perhaps this - http://how-to.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_allow_non-super_users_to_shutdown_computer_in_Linux | 17:09 |
| escott | roasted, or that | 17:09 |
| Malimbar | Rustyblade, you didn't change your sources or anything by chance? | 17:09 |
| Rustyblade | really already? | 17:09 |
| girffe | it seems that gpg is just using some sort of black magic to put their text to the terminal | 17:10 |
| Rustyblade | I dont think so.. | 17:10 |
| TwinSwords | Right now it can't even find the ppa at all. Tells me it find fetch them. And looking into the source.list file it doesn't even have the repository for ppa. | 17:10 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| Kroach | girrfe: yes, it does work correctly in the script, I should've tried doing this in the beginning | 17:10 |
| escott | Rustyblade, are you running any ppas | 17:10 |
| Rustyblade | Here is my sources list | 17:11 |
| Kroach | girffe, escott: thanks for the help | 17:11 |
| girffe | Kroach: I don't blame you, gpg output redirection doesn't seem to be the most intuitive thing in the world | 17:11 |
| Rustyblade | http://imagebin.org/238538 | 17:12 |
| Malimbar | Rustyblade... | 17:12 |
| * Malimbar shrugs | 17:12 | |
| Rustyblade | Yes... | 17:12 |
| Rustyblade | I am screwed aren't I? | 17:13 |
| dury | hi there all | 17:13 |
| Malimbar | Rustyblade, it's not htat you're screwed, it's that the answer is "meh, I dunno" | 17:13 |
| dury | how can I install linux in a laptop that runs windows 8 | 17:13 |
| socomm | dury: don't | 17:14 |
| escott | dury, don't see why not | 17:14 |
| Malimbar | Rustyblade, it's like this: http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/09/16/comic-the-difference-between-android-and-iphone-this-pretty-much-sums-it-up/ | 17:14 |
| dury | is it hard? | 17:14 |
| escott | dury, if you have secure boot enabled it would be easier to disable it. if you have efi that can be a pain | 17:14 |
| socomm | dury why don't you try linux inside virtualbox before you try to do it on a physical machine | 17:14 |
| Rustyblade | Lol XD | 17:15 |
| dury | win stinks | 17:15 |
| socomm | dury: https://www.virtualbox.org/ | 17:15 |
| dury | not in virtual | 17:15 |
| socomm | dury: linux desktop stinks even more | 17:15 |
| rlsj99 | Anyone here who runs a LAN with Network Manager on Ubuntu 12.04? | 17:16 |
| dury | I prefer real | 17:16 |
| socomm | dury: good luck | 17:16 |
| dury | gessss what a supporter | 17:16 |
| Rustyblade | Max401, helped me with it before | 17:16 |
| TwinSwords | socomm: If you tried WIns 8 then you wouldn't be saying that about Linux | 17:16 |
| Rustyblade | But I had to reinstall Ubuntu and now it doesn't work | 17:16 |
| socomm | TwinSwords: I have, and I have used linux desktop exclusively voer over 12 years also | 17:17 |
| socomm | shouldn't say linux desktop, OSS desktop | 17:17 |
| TwinSwords | ah OK | 17:18 |
| TwinSwords | But does anyone know why Linux can't seem to fetch ppa from the website? | 17:18 |
| TwinSwords | Whenever I do an update it just fails at that step. | 17:19 |
| dury | how do I know if secure boot it's enabled or disabled? | 17:19 |
| escott | TwinSwords, is the ppa down? | 17:19 |
| socomm | TwinSwords: ppa server is down? dns issue? could be anything | 17:19 |
| TwinSwords | problem is from what I can fine its not even there | 17:19 |
| escott | dury, check in the bios. unfortunately thats the best we can say... its somewhere in the bios | 17:19 |
| TwinSwords | *find | 17:20 |
| socomm | dury: how old is your laptop? | 17:20 |
| dury | escott: right, thanks | 17:20 |
| wildwind | TwinSwords: maybe it's as simple as that ppa is down? | 17:20 |
| TwinSwords | socomm: The problem with it being down is that it would have been a week now. | 17:20 |
| TwinSwords | socomm: That could be the problem yes. | 17:21 |
| socomm | TwinSwords: maintainers do have lives outside of tech you know | 17:21 |
| dury | in case I bought one with bloody win8.... I want to know how to perform with it that's all | 17:21 |
| TwinSwords | I understand that | 17:21 |
| roasted | Correct me if I'm wrong, but the group "admin" on Ubuntu = sudoers, no? | 17:22 |
| roasted | because it's telling me now that the group admin doesn't exist..... | 17:22 |
| llutz | roasted: its "sudo" group now | 17:22 |
| socomm | roasted: huh | 17:22 |
| TwinSwords | socomm: The other thing I noticed is that in my /etc/apt/source.list I don't have anything for ppa. | 17:22 |
| roasted | llutz: oh, snazzy | 17:22 |
| roasted | llutz: as of 12.04? | 17:22 |
| llutz | roasted: they changed it in 12.04 iirc | 17:22 |
| wildwind | TwinSwords: so check it with wget or smth | 17:22 |
| escott | roasted, as of 12.10 it becomes sudo (like debian) | 17:22 |
| socomm | TwinSwords: I don't usually mess with ppas too much but from what i remember they are kept elsewhere | 17:23 |
| socomm | TwinSwords: i could be wrong though | 17:23 |
| roasted | escott: I'm on 12.04, and it seems to have taken it. | 17:23 |
| TwinSwords | ah great | 17:23 |
| escott | roasted, i thought it was 12.10... maybe i just noticed it 6mo later | 17:23 |
| wildwind | TwinSwords: there is /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ also | 17:23 |
| TwinSwords | wildwind: Do you have the url because the one I found is coming up with a 404 error. | 17:23 |
| escott | roasted, i guess i didn't have a fresh install until a month or two ago | 17:23 |
| roasted | escott: I'll be able to confirm that in a minute or two when I get done and booted up. It kept saying admin group does not exist, while the sudo thing worked fine. | 17:23 |
| llutz | roasted: escott 12.04 had sudo too, not sure about 11.10 | 17:23 |
| roasted | escott: llutz: yep, 12.04 has it. Works great. | 17:24 |
| rlsj99 | Anyone here who runs a LAN with Network Manager on Ubuntu 12.04? I have a peculiar problem: intermittent to very slow startup when accessing machines on Windows Network. | 17:24 |

| Mrokii | Hello. After a crash I am unable to boot into Unity anymore from an SSD. I am always thrown back at the login screen. Is there something I can do about it? Or should I re-install Ubuntu? | 17:35 |
| llutz | !runlevel |so | 17:35 |
| ubottu | so: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 17:35 |

| poltergeist | hello | 17:36 |
| socomm | llutz: doesn't solve my issue | 17:36 |
| rlsj99 | wildwind: "Failed to retrieve share list from server" But that isn't logical. I just installed Ubuntu yesterday, before that was running Windows Vista on this same hardware, no network problem. | 17:36 |
| socomm | wildwind: wasted effort, even windows users don't like the interface | 17:36 |
| socomm | rlsj99: could it be a driver isisue? | 17:36 |
| rlsj99 | wildwind: And sometimes it works if I keep trying. | 17:36 |
| socomm | s/isisue/issue/g | 17:36 |
| wildwind | socomm: RMS is exaggerating the threat (as often) but yes, it's a kind of survey[lance] | 17:37 |
| rlsj99 | socomm: This is a _wired_ network, not wifi. | 17:37 |
| socomm | rlsj99: could it be a driver issue? | 17:37 |
| wildwind | socomm: every $THING has its fans | 17:37 |
| luan | hello | 17:37 |
| socomm | rlsj99: you can always work yourself up the OSI model | 17:38 |
| socomm | wildwind: sure even nazis have fanatics now adays | 17:38 |
| rlsj99 | socomm: I suppose it could, actually. I never heard of intermittent software, but that is an idea worth checking. No doubt checking it will be VERY educational! | 17:39 |
| socomm | rlsj99: ok could be software issue, could be hardware issue, could be both | 17:39 |
| socomm | rlsj99: check your connections, check your wire, check your nic | 17:39 |
| wildwind | rlsj99: it's logical, Ubuntu can't authenticate on server even to get share list. That Vista was in domain, no? | 17:40 |
| socomm | rlsj99: driver could be an issue, especially if got some exotic or new chipset | 17:40 |
| rlsj99 | Anybody: Please recommend a way to get all these "entered the room" and "Left the room" messages out of my display. | 17:40 |
| socomm | rlsj99: could be a firewall issue | 17:40 |
| socomm | rlsj99: client specific | 17:40 |
| rlsj99 | wildwind: All the same domain, nothing changed except new Ubuntu. The domain name is "Localan," admittedly not very original, but after all it's local. | 17:41 |
| llutz | you are able to "service vboxautostart-service start" just fine, because that does nothing | 17:41 |
| socomm | rlsj99: and like wildwind mentioned, could also be an authentication issue | 17:41 |
| socomm | llutz: yeah? does nothing but spawn my vms .... | 17:42 |
| rlsj99 | socomm: Not a firewall issue unless it's in the Ubuntu defaults. | 17:42 |
| rlsj99 | Nothing on Localan uses passwords. | 17:42 |
| socomm | rlsj99: ubuntu might be scanning the 'workgroup' domain which I think is the default 'domain' for windows shares | 17:43 |
| socomm | rlsj99: you can try using smbclient manually to connect to your share and see if there are any problems | 17:43 |
| wildwind | socomm: this kind of surveillance is inevitable in a new "software ecosystem" paradigm. look at apple, android, win phone etc. markets can't develop (and push the tech forward) without knowing it's customers | 17:43 |
| rlsj99 | socomm: Good possibility! But how do I change it to "Localan?" Note that sometimes it works. | 17:44 |
| socomm | rlsj99: google, don't know off top of my head, sorry | 17:44 |
| socomm | wildwind: guess it can be rationalized many ways, but rather stay off ubuntu desktop 'til its gets sorted out | 17:45 |
| rlsj99 | wildwind: and socomm: Thanks, gentlemen. You've given me a couple of ideas. | 17:45 |

| Rob1337 | Hey, so, I recently installed Ubuntu 12.10 on a Gateway NV53a and when connected via wireless, my internet speeds are about 10% of what they should be or less.

| escott | Guest9697, usually in the bios | 18:22 |
| Guest9697 | <Squarepy> how to do that? | 18:22 |
| escott | Guest9697, one common problem is to boot the hard drives bios, but the usb sticks efi | 18:22 |
| Squarepy | well install boot-repair within the live usb OS then let it reinstall grub on the right HD, EFI mode enabled | 18:22 |

| larry_ | because i am on dialup, and things are not so easy | 18:23 |
| escott | Guest9697, the efi system can emulate a bios boot and may do different things for different boot devices | 18:23 |
| Guest9697 | escott: how to check that? | 18:24 |
| bekks | larry_: "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" IS easy, and it is a small package. | 18:24 |

| llutz | larry_: maybe this works "sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgutenprint.so.3 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgutenprint.so.2" then try running photoprint again | 18:30 |

| larry_ | yes it is, photoprint is hard coded to look for the file in the one place | 18:34 |

| Rob1337 | oh, it said "reboot or run these commands" for the last for commands there, so I just rebooted. Should I run those 4 commands now? | 19:10 |
| myhero | bekks: but mkdir ommand is also given in ftp....so how to use it ? | 19:10 |
| larry_ | llutz, it would help alot if i could cut and paste from one application to another | 19:10 |
| danley | you can try. if that doesn't help I'm not sure what causes the problem. | 19:10 |
| larry_ | but xchat wont allow it | 19:10 |
| llutz | larry_: well, xchat does that fine here | 19:11 |
| larry_ | so i have type it all in, and change screens between each app | 19:11 |
| escott | larry_, there are two cut buffers in linux. highlighting is sufficient to get something in the first buffer | 19:11 |
| myhero | bekks: also i learned ftp and ssh but what about ftps ? same method or anything different and plz name any daemon for ftps | 19:11 |
| Rob1337 | danley, do i need to reboot now? | 19:11 |
| escott | larry_, you can then paste with either middle click or for some applications a standard paste operations | 19:11 |
| myhero | wildwind: ^^ | 19:12 |
| danley | after those 4 commands? no | 19:12 |
| escott | myhero, ftps is going to be just as slow as sftp | 19:12 |
| Rob1337 | k. i'll disconnect lan cable and try a speedtest again then. | 19:12 |
| wildwind | larry_: ls -la /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgutenprint* | 19:12 |
| myhero | escott: ftp is fast but sftp is very slow | 19:12 |
| danley | Rob1337, the network card tiself sets the speed to 1mbps, so it thinks the connection can't handle more | 19:12 |
| llutz | myhero: ftps is ftp over ssl, i.e vsftpd can be used as server | 19:12 |
| larry_ | thanks for that tip escott never knew it and it is not intuitive as i have never used the middle button before | 19:13 |

| escott | Phaba, what apps are you using when it starts to lag | 19:54 |

| Phaba | to find out if some app / daemon has a memory leak | 20:05 |
| escott | Phaba, running valgrind on everything is going to be a mess | 20:06 |
| trism | lorenx: packages from make-kpkg are a bit strange in that they will create links to the source directory unless it is not present when the kernel is installed, so if you built the image/header packages, installed them and then removed the source directory you might have trouble | 20:06 |
| escott | Phaba, your system has too little ram. just buy some more | 20:06 |
| trism | lorenx: or the problem I often have is that I build the kernel on a separate partition that may not be mounted when nvidia builds the module | 20:07 |
| Phaba | okay, i plan on upgrading to some serious hardware soon but im just curious as how i'd find if i am currently running something with a memory leak, i suppose eventually it'll kill any PC | 20:07 |
| DrGrov | My second question is that is how do I change the various official repos of 10.04 to some international ones? Seems like the Finnish ones are down and I can not get any updates. Any easy way to keep a good sources list? | 20:07 |
| yeats | Phaba: you should try using Xubuntu/Lubuntu IMHO | 20:07 |
| Phaba | i have lubuntu | 20:08 |
| yeats | Phaba: oh - you're using lubuntu now? | 20:08 |
| Phaba | and gnome 2d | 20:08 |
| yeats | Phaba: 1GB should be fine for lubuntu | 20:08 |
| Phaba | right now im on unity but on lubuntu its the same, i think chronium just steals to much ram | 20:08 |
| escott | Phaba, programs under valgrind are substantially slower. painfully slower. its not something you just run a program with | 20:09 |
| Phaba | either that or i have a memory leak, i rarely re-boot | 20:09 |
| lorenx | trism: i'm not sure to be able to follow you :D ... i'm just going to try something... thanks ;) | 20:09 |
| Phaba | escott, i was wondering if it were possible to run each program in series not concurrent | 20:09 |
| Phaba | so i could just tick them off 1 by 1 | 20:10 |
| MadsRC | Hi guys! I ran into some wierd permission problem. I've got 2 disks pooled into one directory with aufs in say /mnt/storage. But for some reason I can't create new files in it, unless I'm root... Permissions for /mnt/storage is 770 (rwxrwx---) myuser users | 20:10 |
| MadsRC | Can anyone help me with that? | 20:10 |
| trism | lorenx: oh wait, I know what the problem is, that was 295 nvidia right? (I lost the pastebin) | 20:10 |
| yeats | Phaba: 1) open a terminal and type 'top' 2) open each program you normally use in turn and check top for memory use/swapping | 20:10 |
| trism | lorenx: you need to get 304.xx from the x-updates ppa (or elsewhere) if you want to use a 3.5 kernel | 20:11 |
| escott | MadsRC, what does "touch /mnt/storage" say | 20:11 |
| MadsRC | escott, that gives no output | 20:11 |
| trism | lorenx: also of note, linux-lts-backport-quantal is in 12.04 already so you may not need to build your own if you can use the default config | 20:12 |
| escott | MadsRC, then it created the fie | 20:12 |
| Phaba | yeats, cheers, is there a way to get 'top' to order in ram usage instead of cpu? | 20:12 |
| wildwind | DrGrov: show your current sources.list | 20:12 |
| escott | MadsRC, sorry "touch /mnt/Storage/test" | 20:12 |
| MadsRC | Sorry, I waswrong, The permission error is within a directory in /mnt/storage, say /mnt/storage/deluge | 20:12 |
| MadsRC | touch /mnt/storage/deluge returns apermission error | 20:13 |
| Phaba | .ruby.bin has 11% of my ram?? :/ | 20:13 |
| wildwind | Phaba: Shift+'>' | 20:13 |
| Phaba | i dont even program in ruby, something is calling it alot?? | 20:13 |
| MadsRC | and that folder is 775 anotheruser groupthatmyuserispartof | 20:13 |
| notk0 | hello | 20:14 |
| notk0 | I have installed ncurses but there is no shared libary | 20:14 |
| notk0 | that is found | 20:14 |
| escott | MadsRC, verify that your user is in that group with "groups" | 20:14 |
| notk0 | libncurses.so.5 => not found | 20:14 |
| notk0 | from ldd | 20:14 |
| Phaba | wildwind, thanks, .ruby.bin is using the most though ive never used it personally, chrome is second with 2 threads running 7% each which is standard i guess | 20:14 |
| wildwind | Phaba: or better Shift+'<' 4 times, if your'e looking for mem leaks | 20:14 |
| MadsRC | what is "groups" supposed to output? | 20:14 |
| escott | MadsRC, the groups you are a member of | 20:15 |
| MadsRC | doesn't output thegroup, though /etc/group lists me as being in it | 20:16 |
| escott | MadsRC, when did you add yourself to the group and how | 20:16 |
| MadsRC | 10 minutesago, with usermod something... lemme find the string | 20:16 |
| escott | MadsRC, logout and log back in | 20:17 |
| MadsRC | now it showsthe right groups! | 20:17 |
| escott | MadsRC, group membership and environment variables often take a logout | 20:17 |
| MadsRC | escott, Thank you :) Now I just need to get deluge to accept me adding the ubuntu torrent... For some reason it gives permission error when adding it, even though it is owner of the whole /mnt/storage/deluge/ folder. Maybe the deluge user just need to login and logout | 20:20 |
| escott | MadsRC, i bet you own the file in the deluge folder. you need to setgid on the deluge folder | 20:21 |
| MadsRC | escott, I use the deluge webui to add the ubuntu torrent, so it should be owned by the deluge user | 20:21 |
| Shirakawasuna | I'm running into an issue with backlight brightness on a new laptop - lenovo ideapad s300. It uses Intel GMA graphics, specifically '2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)' (intel i915). My issue is this: I can't turn the brightness up to the max that I can in windows 8 - it hits ~half max brightness. In /sys/driver/backlight/acpi_0 max_brightness and brightness are both 15 and it's not a | 20:24 |
| Shirakawasuna | matter of hotkeys. It just doesn't, by default, make it possible to turn the brightness up high enough. | 20:24 |
| Shirakawasuna | Any ideas on how to work around this? I'm upgrading the kernel right now (default updates) and have been looking at the tweaks here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Backlight | 20:25 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest97992 | ||

| escott | Shirakawasuna, the kernel doesnt think it can go any higher | 20:26 |
| Shirakawasuna | yeah | 20:27 |
| Shirakawasuna | my plan of attack was to look for BIOS updates just in case (none available), upgrade the kernel (in progress), and mess with those grub kernel settings suggested on the arch wiki | 20:28 |

| JohnGalt | TwistTheNeil: dban | 20:31 |
| MadsRC | escott, setgid is done with chown g-s folder right? Doing that, every new file under deluge/ should have the same owner and group right? | 20:32 |
| JohnGalt | Frederick: no it's about the gfx card emulation, try to enable 3D | 20:32 |
| TwistTheNeil | how long would it take with dban ? | 20:32 |
| JohnGalt | TwistTheNeil: days. | 20:32 |
| JohnGalt | but that's a secure 7x erase which is CIA proof | 20:32 |
| TwistTheNeil | i'm in university and don't have too much time :( | 20:32 |
| TwistTheNeil | at most a couple of hours | 20:33 |
| JohnGalt | you can set dban to do a less intensive secure erase | 20:33 |

| MadsRC | escott, Yes I know, but adding the torrent through the webui uploads the file, and then I get a permission error in /mnt/deluge/incomplete/torrentname - That it can't access the torrent file. Which is a new file. | 20:45 |
| escott | MadsRC, what are the permissions of that file | 20:45 |
| MadsRC | escott, The uploaded file, or the file that it gives a permission error on? | 20:46 |
| escott | MadsRC, the one with the permission error | 20:46 |
| MadsRC | It doesn't exist. When I go to the folder in the terminal and do a ls -a there's nothing there | 20:46 |

| lorenx | trism: i've just compile the new 3.6.9 kernel... do i need nvidia 304.xx anyway? | 21:04 |

| trism | lorenx: yes, 295 doesn't build with 3.5+ | 21:05 |
| lorenx | but i have to compile the linux-headers.deb right? | 21:05 |
| trism | lorenx: if you used make-kpkg you only need kernel_image since it will use the kernel source directory as the headers (assuming you don't delete the source after the build) | 21:06 |
| jeroen_ | is this a developer channel or also for support? | 21:06 |
| jrib | jeroen_: it's dedicated to support | 21:07 |

| jeroen_ | for some reason the installer doesn't recognize the already installed Windows 8. Is that a know issue? | 21:09 |

| abdostar | bazhang: yes I did, but this file seems different from what was explained, or at least that what seems to me | 21:35 |
| lorenx | trism: let's live on the edge, let's try the 310 one ;) thanks! | 21:35 |
| emes | I've been noticing that my composting is slow. I have an ivy bridge laptop with intel graphics. how can I make sure the right driver is being used? | 21:36 |
| ActionParsnip | emes: sudo lshw -C display if it's unclaimed, then that's why | 21:36 |
| livingdaylight | I've broken X and at prompt in safe mode... I've attached external hd but can't seem to cd to it | 21:37 |
| emes | ActionParsnip: doesn't say unclaimed | 21:37 |
| jeroen_ | please can anyone point me out how I add Windows 8 back to the boot options? | 21:39 |
| Ray2 | I have Ubuntu-10.04 installed on sda1 and another o/s on sdb5...I want to open an application in sdb5..the aplication is under the/opt folder and open the one that is in sda1...what do i need to do to open the sdb5 application from ubuntu ?? | 21:39 |
| phunyguy_t430s | Ray2, can probably chroot with some good documentation. | 21:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Ray2: mount it | 21:41 |
| phunyguy_t430s | ActionParsnip, the app may require different libs | 21:41 |
| phunyguy_t430s | he said it's a different OS. | 21:41 |
| phunyguy_t430s | chroot is fairly easy, you just create a directory to use as new /, then mount /dev/sdb5 there, mount /proc and /dev there as well, then chroot. | 21:43 |
| ActionParsnip | phunyguy_t430s: if its a linux app then it may work, you can install a few apps in the /opt folder | 21:43 |
| phunyguy_t430s | perhaps, but if it doesn't.. it's not very hard to chroot to that env. | 21:44 |
| ActionParsnip | phunyguy_t430s: both ways have pros and cons | 21:44 |
| malucious | hello. if i launch a pdf from the unity dash I get vlc instead of evince. any ideas? | 21:44 |
| ActionParsnip | malucious: right click the file and select to open with evince, set the OS to remember the association | 21:45 |
| Ray2 | ActionParsnip...I mount the sda5 o/s and can open other folders from that o/s but /opt opens the folder from ubuntu...Its easier just to switch o/s rather than use chroot. | 21:46 |
| dr_willis | Ray2: it would be /media/mountpoint/opt not /opt | 21:48 |
| malucious | ActionParsnip, it's already set to use evince with nautilus. and it works properly from there. but the unity file lens launches it differently | 21:48 |

| ActionParsnip | Guest92382: sudo mkdir /media/iso; sudo mount -o loop /path/to/file /media/iso | 21:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest92382: use the 'file' command to see what the file is | 21:53 |

| malkauns | is there any way to get rid of the unity grab handles when u do an accidental 3-finger swipe?? | 21:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest92382: then you can loop mount it as I gave above | 21:55 |
| livingdaylight | i can see /dev/sdb but don't know how to access it | 21:55 |
| Guest92382 | ActionParsnip: whenever I use the first line of syntax you showed me earlier, when I press enter, it goes blank. It doesn't even ask for my password | 21:55 |
| Jordan_U | Guest92382: That means that it worked. | 21:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest92382: in linux, no news is good news | 21:56 |

| Guest92382 | Okay I got it working. Can you mount something incorrectly and mess up the image file? | 22:00 |
| mandrix | lorenx: did you install it through Software Sources -> Additional Drivers? | 22:01 |
| lorenx | mandrix: no, apt-get form command line | 22:01 |
| Guest65520 | Has anyone successfully used a USB 3.0 dock on Ubuntu? | 22:01 |
| Guest92382 | because there are a lot of options here, and I'm going to guess how I need to mount it if there are no repercussions | 22:01 |
| mandrix | lorenx: I tried doing it that way and it never worked out; I couldn't disable nouveau. I got it working by going through Software Sources | 22:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest92382: if you mount it read only then it's safe :) | 22:02 |
| lorenx | mandrix: maybe i should "ban" the driver | 22:02 |
| livingdaylight | ActionParsnip, sudo mount /dev/sdb1 ? | 22:02 |
| escott | Jim_, not going to be easy. why not just uninstall old kernels from /boot | 22:02 |
| livingdaylight | ActionParsnip, I did that and then? | 22:02 |
| mandrix | lorenx: I tried blacklisting, and that didn't work either. I have no idea why not | 22:03 |
| Guest92382 | ActionParsnip: That makes sense. Though it isn't giving me an option to 'read only' | 22:03 |
| livingdaylight | ActionParsnip, I still can not cd to /dev/sdb or /sdb1 coz its not a folder or something | 22:03 |
| lorenx | mandrix: ok... | 22:03 |
| lorenx | trism: excuse me but do you have an hint for this too? | 22:03 |
| MeanEYE | heoyea: I guess. I still don't like the fact I am clueless about what happened. | 22:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest92382: it'll be read only by default if memory serves | 22:03 |
| ActionParsnip | livingdaylight: yes, you need to mount sdb1 then you cna cd to the mount point. You cannot access block devices from /dev | 22:04 |
| Guest92382 | ActionParsnip: does this look like the right place to you? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1419821/ | 22:04 |
| livingdaylight | ActionParsnip, how do i cd to the mount point? | 22:04 |
| mandrix | lorenx: You're free to try it that way first, but if it doesn't end up working, just changing the driver in Ubuntu's Additional Drivers will install the 310 driver automatically and turn off nouveau | 22:04 |
| ActionParsnip | livingdaylight: you set the mount point when you mount it | 22:05 |
| livingdaylight | ActionParsnip, are you saying i should not, or, cannot cd /dev/sdb1 ? | 22:05 |
| Jim_ | escott:Thanks for the response....I am not a guru, rather a newbie, can you assist with removing of the old kernals? I take it from this that we would be removing older OS elements that are no longer in use? | 22:05 |
| livingdaylight | ActionParsnip, oh, ok? for example? | 22:06 |
| ActionParsnip | livingdaylight: 1. You missed the space after the word 'loop' and 2. You never told it where to mount it, so how can it possibly mount it when you don't tell it whree... | 22:06 |
| escott | Jim_, open up a terminal (and maximize it) then run <<dpkg -l "*linux-image*">> anything installed has a "ii" on the left column. you can find the old versions and <<sudo apt-get remove [linux-image-#####-generic] | 22:07 |
| ActionParsnip | livingdaylight: sudo mkdif /media/ios; sudo mount -o loop ~image2.dd /media/iso | 22:07 |
| livingdaylight | ActionParsnip, when i am in X plugging in external device just pops up | 22:07 |
| ActionParsnip | livingdaylight: sudo mkdif /media/ios; sudo mount -o loop ~/image2.dd /media/iso | 22:07 |
| livingdaylight | i missed the word 'loop' ? | 22:07 |
| ActionParsnip | livingdaylight: yes, that is handled by udev, back in the day devices had to be manually mounted | 22:07 |
| ActionParsnip | livingdaylight: read my second command, then read yours. Note the spaceing | 22:07 |

| mandrix | lorenx: did it work? Mine created that as well, but nouveau was still being used | 22:09 |

| Scunizi | csilk: hummm.. and did you install the guest additions? or was that impossible because of the lack of keyboard? | 22:12 |
| lavoro92 | i have one problem :S i use ubuntu 12.04 LTS and i'm trying to use the linux api but the compiler can't find module.h | 22:12 |

| myst3rious | it WORKS, but it just won't connect. it keeps asking for a password (the network password which is RIGHT) and only connects sometimes. | 22:12 |
| lavoro92 | ? | 22:12 |
| livingdaylight | OerHeks, yes, I think so; hence, I@m confused | 22:12 |
| myst3rious | how can I brute force it into working all the time? | 22:12 |
| Guest92382 | oerheks: I wanted to mount the image though, not a physical drive | 22:12 |
| myst3rious | IPv6 is disabled, so that's not the problem (but it works anyway) | 22:13 |

| csilk | Scunizi, I lose the keyboard on the install screen of the guest OS | 22:14 |
| mandrix | lorenx: Have you looked in Software Sources to see what Ubuntu thinks it's using as a driver? | 22:14 |
| OerHeks | Guest92382, see previous comments from ActionParsnip about mount + loop | 22:14 |
| gh0zt | Is Ubuntu 10.04 still going to be supported for a while? Is it not recommended to use this version? I actually like this version of gnome better than the one that runs on 11.x and 12.x.

| lorenx | mandrix: dkms status says "nvidia-experimental-310, 310.14, 3.5.3-minimal, x86_64: installed" | 22:15 |
| Scunizi | csilk: I just found reference to this as a solution.. sudo apt-get install scim-bridge-client-qt .. got it from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=825606 | 22:15 |
| csilk | Scunizi, that package isn't found. I think that's for a much older version of Ubuntu | 22:15 |
| Scunizi | csilk: I thought it might be too easy :( | 22:16 |
| livingdaylight | OerHeks, so, what is the correct command? | 22:17 |
| Scunizi | csilk: sorry .. I'm out of ideas except those already posed.. #vbox | 22:17 |
| OerHeks | livingdaylight, normally a mounted /dev/sdb1/ will show up in /media/ if i recall correct | 22:17 |
| myst3rious | someone help please my wireless adapter isn't working | 22:17 |
| lorenx | mandrix: i'll go on tomorrow i guess, thanks ;) | 22:17 |
| csilk | Scunizi, hmm thanks | 22:18 |

| esing | I have Ubuntu and Windows installed on the same HDD, can I delete the WIndows partition and use it for the /home folder of the Ubuntu or do I have to reinstall Ubuntu to get that to work? | 22:24 |
| escott | Jim_, odd that you would get a device full on a remove. One thing you could do is to manually remove a file from /boot (best way would be to "sudo mv /boot/initrd.OLD_VERSION.generic /root") thereby freeing up space to apt-get remove one of the kernels then put it back with "sudo mv /root/initrd.* /boot" | 22:25 |
| tenpackpanther | http://pastebin.com/YLcEHuix | 22:25 |
| jrib | tenpackpanther: you pasted into your terminal? | 22:26 |
| tenpackpanther | no, i right clicked in an attempt to copy in putty | 22:26 |
| tenpackpanther | forgot that that doesnt work | 22:26 |
| jrib | tenpackpanther: so you have no idea why this would be happening? | 22:27 |

| jrib | tenpackpanther: why? | 22:28 |
| tenpackpanther | and then reinstall it | 22:28 |
| jrib | tenpackpanther: why did you try to uninstall it? | 22:28 |
| tenpackpanther | because when i tried to make it work with phpmyadmin it and view from localhost it didnt work so i figured id try a clean install | 22:28 |
| === cristian_c is now known as pippo | ||
| jrib | tenpackpanther: why do you say you "tried" to uninstall it? What happened when you tried and how did you try? | 22:29 |
| emes | I've been noticing that my compositing is slow. I have an ivy bridge laptop with intel graphics. it seems the intel driver is being used. what else can I check? | 22:29 |
| tenpackpanther | because if it was uninstalled then i dont think id get an error message as it worked right the first time. i tried using sudo apt-get remove mysql-server-5.5 | 22:30 |
| jrib | tenpackpanther: I have to leave so can't follow this through. But imo you should explain exactly what you've done. It seems like you uninstalled it and it didn't succeed or something? Anyway, you should explain. To fix your issue, figure out if mysql is running now and stop it, then try to reconfigure again. Good luck. Others here can help. | 22:31 |

| ActionParsnip | dante123: sudo apt-get --purge remove `dpkg -l | grep navidia | grep -v nvidia-common` | 22:53 |
| ActionParsnip | dante123: sec | 22:53 |

| fuzai | how do i change the default window manager ubuntu 12.04? | 22:54 |
| ActionParsnip | dante123: just the package names is useful :) | 22:54 |
| fuzai | I want all users to default to xfce instead | 22:54 |
| ActionParsnip | fuzai: it should be part of the session in the DM, you can just add a startup item to the OS to run: yourmanager --replace to run the manager of your choice | 22:55 |
| fuzai | i want to change the defaults so new users don't have to choose everytime | 22:55 |
| sc0rpi0n | someone tried raring? | 22:55 |
| ActionParsnip | sc0rpi0n: i have, but its offtopic here | 22:56 |
| ActionParsnip | sc0rpi0n: ask in #ubuntu+1 | 22:56 |
| ActionParsnip | fuzai: if you install xubuntu, it will be the only choice. | 22:56 |
| fuzai | this is part of ltsp too | 22:56 |
| dante123 | do you really mean navidia or is that typos | 22:56 |
| fuzai | i run xubuntu on everything except the servers which i run ubuntu server o | 22:57 |
| fuzai | on | 22:57 |
| dante123 | unable to find pkg....BTW. I typed nvidia NOT navidia assuming typo on your part | 22:59 |
| edheldil__ | Hi, anyone has an idea what could block a ttyACM0 device in Ubuntu Quantal? I have verified that my Teensy board outputs through serial over usb on another computer, but when I connect it to 64bit QQ, I am unable to read from the serial port, even though the device opens. | 22:59 |
| edheldil__ | I have tried killing various daemons, (fuser did not report anything), but only after going all the way to init s and reconnecting the device, I was suddenly able to read a line from ttyACM0 - even though cu was unable to do so | 22:59 |
| dante123 | is other a way to start update manager from command line ActionParsnip | 23:00 |
| edheldil__ | it's a fresh install of ubuntu, 64bit | 23:00 |
| dante123 | on 12.10 I can change driver from inside the GUI for update | 23:00 |
| dante123 | but how to get to update | 23:01 |
| blackshirt | dante123, you can use apt-get to upgrade or aptitude | 23:02 |
| Fudge | Hi I have a eeepc netbook and gnome3 runs really really slow on it, any suggestions on how to make precise or quantal work better for netbooks? | 23:03 |
| dante123 | Blackshirt, I want to get into GUI update app for reasons I can't fully explain right Noe. do you know command for that | 23:04 |
| Fudge | dante123 software center? | 23:04 |
| dante123 | well that might wok but I need to change additional drivers and that can be done from the update settings....gui | 23:05 |
| OerHeks | additional drivers tru cli = jockey-text ? | 23:06 |
| edheldil__ | dante123: you assume that it will work even if you change it :) | 23:06 |
| Fudge | you may be thinking of activating extra repository archives? | 23:06 |
| dante123 | update-manager...thank you me | 23:06 |
| Karlo_ | I have a shared directory exported by a Windows machine. On my older Linux box, I import it with smbmount; on the new one, that command doesn't exist. Does it have a different name? Do I need to download it first? | 23:07 |
| DrGrov | Is there some kind of output that I could paste in order to clearly explain the installation issue of LibreOffice on 10.04? | 23:07 |
| dante123 | well, I hope it will. trying now..... | 23:07 |
| blondielegs | is there anyone who can help me with my ubuntu? i used the program to update the drivers and now my video card doesnt work. its running in low graphics and i dont know how to fix it | 23:08 |
| bendym | Hi all - can anyone suggest a good place to look for a problem cause here? I have a NAS filer that has a share exported via SMB. I'm using cifs to mount it on my Ubuntu 12.10 server. Until recently, it was working fine - now, the mount command hangs and never returns. The same SMB export mounts just fine on my linux mint laptop. Nothing shows up in the logfiles that I can see. | 23:08 |

| Fudge | DrGrov perhaps type, script try the update with apt-get and at the end type exit, then pastebin the typescript text file in the same directory | 23:08 |
| dante123 | blondielegs, I'm in the same boat | 23:08 |
| blondielegs | crap.... | 23:09 |
| edheldil__ | blondielegs: what card? | 23:09 |
| blondielegs | how do i find out? | 23:09 |
| DrGrov | Fudge: I could do perhaps this: "sudo apt-get install libreoffice > text.txt" ? | 23:09 |
| XMLnewbi | whats the command line for a file search? | 23:09 |
| ActionParsnip | dante123: do you use an optimus system, or is it just the nvidia on it's own? | 23:09 |
| Fudge | DrGrov possibly yeah but use script and exit, its easier and you can still type in sudo passwords and answer prompts | 23:10 |
| Fudge | you could always apt-get install pastebinit and cat typescript | pastebinit then paste us the url | 23:10 |
| edheldil__ | blondielegs: well were yu trying to set NVidia's proprieatry drivers through that Additional drivers dialog? | 23:10 |
| jv324 | there | 23:11 |
| DrGrov | Fudge: Okay, I will give it a go both ways to see what I end up with :D | 23:11 |
| dante123 | I am back to open driver, but now the damn rez is low and no options to change to. do have unity bar and now it detects brand and size display any suggestions ActionParsnip | 23:11 |
| blondielegs | i think so | 23:11 |
| blondielegs | sounds about right | 23:11 |
| jv324 | how come when i check channel lsit i only find ubuntu room for japanese and sweden | 23:11 |

| jv324 | i need help installing ubuntu 2.04 | 23:11 |
| jv324 | *12.04 | 23:11 |
| ActionParsnip | jv324: what issues are you having? | 23:11 |
| Karlo_ | XMLnewbi: locate PARTIALFILENAME -or- find TOPDIR -OPTIONS ARGS ... | 23:11 |
| jv324 | i downloaded the iso and extract it,then run wubi | 23:11 |
| ActionParsnip | jv324: don'tt extract the file | 23:12 |
| dante123 | what is command to reconfigure x | 23:12 |
| Karlo_ | XMLnewbi: I can flesh that out if you specify the nature of the search | 23:12 |
| ActionParsnip | jv324: whack it on a USB or CD, then use that | 23:12 |
| ActionParsnip | jv324: be sure to MD5 test the ISO first | 23:12 |
| jv324 | it says Could not retrieve the required installation files | 23:12 |
| XMLnewbi | locate worked, I was typeing search filename.html lol | 23:13 |
| jv324 | im sure its not corrupted,a corrupted zip never extract without problem-_-isnt that a fact | 23:13 |
| DrGrov | Fudge: Here I got it. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1419937/ | 23:13 |
| === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang | ||
| bekks | jv324: No. :) | 23:13 |
| jv324 | -_- | 23:13 |
| blondielegs | it said something about i had to "activate" it | 23:13 |
| blondielegs | i tried to | 23:13 |
| jv324 | anyway i try to load the iso using virtualclone drive | 23:14 |
| blondielegs | it went thru all the steps and then fell on its face | 23:14 |
| edheldil__ | blondielegs, dante123: that dialog is an absolute rubbish. I have tried all the proposed version of the driver, neither of them worked. I have then installed the nvidia driver by hand (i.e. sh ./NVIDIA-......run) and all was running perfectly in 5 minutes | 23:14 |
| Zael | anybody know what this mess is about: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1419938/ | 23:14 |
| jv324 | i started wubi and it run but didnt let me choose login option,it shows demo/full installation | 23:14 |
| ActionParsnip | jv324: its a good habit to always check ISO files, it takes seconds | 23:14 |
| jv324 | when i pick it it ask i reboot | 23:14 |
| blondielegs | can you walk me thru how to do that | 23:14 |
| jv324 | how can i reboot if the iso loader is running on windows-_- | 23:14 |
| blondielegs | there is so many people im having trouble following | 23:15 |
| ActionParsnip | jv324: exactly, thats why you need an extra media | 23:15 |
| jv324 | would it run on usb like the smaller bootable like lucid puppy? | 23:15 |
| jv324 | ah i thought ti should run when i extract | 23:15 |
| ActionParsnip | jv324: you can use unetbootin and run the OS off the USB | 23:15 |
| jv324 | other programs usually install when iso is extracted | 23:16 |
| jv324 | as long as all files are in same directory | 23:16 |
| Zael | cause of autorun | 23:16 |
| jv324 | i dont want to use unetbootin | 23:16 |
| jv324 | isnt iso is enough to run it on boot? | 23:16 |
| Zael | you have to burn iso, or image it to a usb with something like unetbootin | 23:17 |
| edheldil__ | blondielegs: download the NVidia's linux driver, switch to terminal (ctrl-alt-F1), login, killall lightdm, sh ./NVIDIA-......run. | 23:17 |
| jv324 | image? | 23:17 |
| edheldil__ | it might require you to install kernel headers, though | 23:17 |
| jv324 | cant i just extract it | 23:17 |
| Zael | yeah, just copying the iso to the usb or copying the files out of the iso to the usb won't make it bootable | 23:17 |
| sc0rpi0n | is still need to downgrade xorg to install ati proprietary drivers? | 23:18 |
| jv324 | not unless if i boot on usb? | 23:18 |
| ActionParsnip | jv324: no, you will need to either use unetbootin, burn to CD tyhen use wubi, or resize your NTFS, boot to the CD then install the new free space | 23:18 |
| ActionParsnip | jv324: or you can make a bootable CD with unetbbotin and install the OS using that | 23:18 |
| jv324 | k ill find that unetbootin | 23:18 |
| jv324 | i remember with lucid puppy i jsut extract it | 23:18 |
| jv324 | i guess full install os needs some stuff | 23:19 |
| blondielegs | where do i download the driver | 23:19 |
| blondielegs | how do i get to download it \ | 23:19 |
| ActionParsnip | jv324: so what....its a different distro so will act differently | 23:19 |
| DrGrov | Fudge: You saw the pastebin output? | 23:19 |
| jv324 | sorry i didnt emant to say other distro | 23:19 |
| jv324 | im just use with smaller bootable before | 23:19 |

| verysoftoiletppr | ActionParsnip I'm using precise | 23:28 |
| dante1232 | tempted to try mint | 23:28 |
| snapdata | I have googled and googled for the last two hours and I cannot find any information on what services are responsible for logging in Ubuntu, and/or how to disable logging entirely. Any hints? | 23:28 |
| verysoftoiletppr | and the chipset is x1050 | 23:28 |
| jv324 | so could i install it on empty usb or not? | 23:28 |
| jv324 | *not empty | 23:28 |
| ActionParsnip | jv324: you can use it to install with or even to. Unetbootin can use a persistance file to hold changes | 23:29 |
| emx | ActionParsnip, it is .local/share/rhythmbox that holds the library | 23:29 |
| jv324 | i put all my files on a one folder | 23:29 |
| jv324 | so im hoping it wouldnt be affected if i used the usb drive on unetbootin | 23:29 |
| jv324 | so what you said means it wont get affected? | 23:30 |
| ActionParsnip | jv324: copying the data as files doesn't work | 23:30 |

| isaias | HOLA SALUDOS | 23:34 |
| blondielegs | how do i fix my graphics card at this point if it will not let me reconfigure the graphics | 23:35 |
| blondielegs | theres no default | 23:35 |
| Fudge | DrGrov apt-get install -f? | 23:35 |
| devrand0m | newroad, forget it... | 23:35 |
| DrGrov | Fudge: Ah, you are absolutely right. I have to do that to get that annoying little package out of the way :) | 23:36 |
| dante123 | blondielegs, the graphics card ain't broke.....it either Ubuntu or nvidia driver that is the issue | 23:36 |
| blondielegs | how do i fix it at this point | 23:36 |
| mrkeuner | oops | 23:36 |
| DrGrov | Fudge: Should I perhaps just in case remove the actual LibreOffice PPA and enable it again before I do this "apt-get install -f"? | 23:36 |
| Fudge | DrGrov I would just try the -f for fix missing packages and see your output | 23:37 |
| dante123 | I'm working on same thing....will let you know if I succeed | 23:37 |
| DrGrov | Fudge: Did not show up anything special. I got the name though on the package that is causing the issue. libexttext-cat. | 23:37 |
| Fudge | i dont have tha tinstalled | 23:38 |
| newroad | devrand0m, ? | 23:38 |
| DrGrov | Fudge: I accidentally forced the install of that package and that made it really messy. | 23:38 |
| Fudge | DrGrov my precise system output of installed libreoffice packages, maybe this will help you, start with the base probably http://paste.ubuntu.com/1419973/ | 23:38 |
| escott | newroad, this is not the appropriate channel to ask in, nor is it particularly likely to work | 23:39 |
| DrGrov | Fudge: Thank you. I know how to install it but I can not get past that annoying little package :/ But I wonder, can I somehow force remove that libexttext-cat package now with the same procedure as sudo apt-get purge libexttext* ? | 23:40 |
| newroad | sigh | 23:40 |
| Fudge | DrGrov or dpkr -r package name | 23:40 |
| Fudge | without -version-x | 23:40 |
| escott | newroad, if you can get your hands on a legal copy of office you can presumably get your hands on a legal copy of windows so try vbox | 23:40 |
| DrGrov | Fudge: Okay, that will probably be a good idea to test right now. | 23:40 |
| verysoftoiletppr | ActionParsnip which PPA | 23:41 |

| escott | Troy^, there was a g19-daemon or g19-tools project | 23:56 |
| XMLnewbi | look like my ubuntu server can only do crons every minute | 23:56 |
| escott | XMLnewbi, you should not be doing cron jobs more frequently than every 15 minutes or so | 23:56 |
| XMLnewbi | thats what I thought, should I probally be looking into running a websocket type setup | 23:57 |
| XMLnewbi | id prefur a livesteam of data | 23:57 |
| escott | XMLnewbi, you could open a socket or just sleep loop read a file | 23:57 |
| XMLnewbi | input and output as a function | 23:57 |
| XMLnewbi | open a socket* could you link something? | 23:58 |
| user | hello | 23:59 |
| escott | XMLnewbi, ..... it really depends on what tool you are going to use. | 23:59 |
