| blami | usr13: gpt is different partitioning model, it supersedes dos partition table | 00:00 |
| escott | progre55, you might try upgrading mysql-client-core first | 00:00 |
| usr13 | blami: Thank you. I didn't know that. | 00:01 |
| escott | progre55, or removing mysql and reinstalling it | 00:01 |
| neckcon | yea, I got out of windows vista and booted to Ubuntu 12.10 and the same thing there again. There is no firefox and all the other stuff thats supposed to be in the side bar | 00:01 |
| neckcon | no sidebar at all | 00:01 |
| corehook | hi all | 00:01 |
| blami | usr13: if you have efi machine you definitely have your disk formatted using gpt so just shrinking one of the existing partitions and creating new one (fifth) should be enough to make space for ubuntu | 00:01 |
| progre55 | escott: but now apt says I need to do "apt-get -f install" first, which keeps failing | 00:01 |

| corehook | after apt-get update & apt-get upgrade now i cant join into notebook | 00:01 |
| bjrohan | escott: so go into the Kubuntu install via LiveUSB then resize partitions in the installer? | 00:01 |
| corehook | i mean after enter password in login screen manager | 00:01 |
| corehook | what i must do ? | 00:01 |
| bjrohan | escott: Or to preserve Win8 install would it be better to resize in Win8? | 00:02 |
| escott | bjrohan, except for the having to disable secure boot, and the making sure your livecd is booting in efi mode not gpt (so it knows to install grub-efi) and that you can have 128 partitions... its just like the old install | 00:02 |
| usr13 | escott: blami: I don't really understand why Win7 and Win8 uses 4 partitions. (Only three show up in "My Computer" anyway. So what's the deal?) | 00:03 |
| corehook | after entering password ubuntu try to load gnome-session but drop me to login screen again | 00:03 |

| escott | usr13, at least one is a recovery partition and they dont want you messing with that | 00:04 |
| nono_ | hi there o/ | 00:04 |
| bjrohan | escott: It has been a while since I have done a dual boot, so help is greatly appreciated especially the whole efi bit | 00:04 |
| escott | bjrohan, i dont know what the 4th partition is for. do not modify the efi system partition. the others are windows specific | 00:04 |
| neckcon | Will ubuntu 12.10 install correctly on NTFS> | 00:04 |
| blackshirt | neckon, i think thats a worst thing ... Stupid | 00:05 |
| nono_ | Someone can tell me how can i create my 8GB Swap partition on my 1000.2 GB HDD (it's on a ubuntu server without any gui), so, i use fdisk, but cfdisk do the same error "Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary" | 00:05 |
| usr13 | escott: blami The one I just did had a small fat32 at the end. It had only a few files, which I just dumped onto sda2 and deleted it. But no, I didn't mess with the recovery partition. | 00:05 |
| neckcon | Will ubuntu 12.10 install correctly on NTFS along side of vista? | 00:05 |
| escott | bjrohan, if you mount the ntfs partitions you might be able to get a sense of their purpose. one is windows proper. one is windows backup/recovery, my guess is the third ntfs is a windows data partition and is probably empty. if that is true you could remove that partition and replace it with ubuntu | 00:05 |
| bjrohan | escott: So for safety, go into Win8, resize the "C" drive to only 150GB or so leaving that much blank space then boot into live CD | 00:05 |
| usr13 | nono_: Unless you already have free space, I do NOT recommend changing partition size of one that you have data on. | 00:06 |
| blackshirt | Neckon, install it in native linux filesystem, ntfs just for support ntfs partition | 00:06 |
| escott | usr13, "a small fat32 with only a few files" sounds suspiciously like an efi system partition which would make the system non-bootable in efi mode i removed | 00:06 |
| nono_ | usr13 : it's a fresh new server on the rescue mode ;-) | 00:06 |
| nono_ | I can play with my 2 HDD :) | 00:07 |
| Rollin | backup your data before editing partitions if you can. pays to be safe as possible. | 00:07 |
| escott | bjrohan, if you want to send the output of "sudo parted -l" i can tell you what not to touch (its the fat partition labeled EFI system) | 00:07 |
| escott | bjrohan, for the others they are something windows related... but i dont know exactly what without either mounting them or booting windows | 00:07 |
| usr13 | nono_: http://sourceforge.net/projects/partedmagic/ | 00:08 |

| diverdude | Is it possible to create a user with a homedirectory, and setup the user so that he cannot do anything at all outside $HOME ? Not even cd outside $HOME? | 00:13 |
| neckcon | blackshirt, yes I know but I am getting the ubunbtu desktop with no sidebar and nothing but the bar at the top of the screen | 00:13 |
| escott | diverdude, yes and no. its called a chroot. its very restrictive, hard to setup, hard to keep secure, and there are probably better ways with modern techniques | 00:14 |
| blackshirt | neckcon, but makes a room for your linux with native linux filesystem, ext4 for default,but you can choose the others that was greatly available ... | 00:14 |

| neckcon | blackshirt, I guess I do not know how to make a linux partition as your talking about | 00:15 |
| bjrohan | escott: Here is what I have for partitions. The main partition I can shrink to 150GB, leave the other 3 alone, and then install Ubunutu on the area left after the shrink | 00:15 |

| === slank is now known as slank_away | ||
| escott | bjrohan, don't know what the first 400MB partition is for, cannot advise either way what to do about it. do not touch the 260MB EFI system partition. feel free to shrink the 903GB NTFS partition (but do so from the livecd or boot windows recovery), cannot comment on the 27GB OEM partition | 00:18 |
| diverdude | escott, what better ways | 00:18 |
| daftykins | you need 4 for an EFI config on GPT | 00:18 |
| daftykins | if you tamper it breaks, afaik | 00:18 |
| blackshirt | escott, better with wubi if he want in ntfs :d | 00:18 |
| escott | bjrohan, if you had access to win8 install media you could perhaps remove the 27GB OEM partition and have the win8 install disks for your recovery | 00:19 |
| bjrohan | escott: My thoughts exactly. Would it be best to shrink the 903 inside Windows so it does it to it's liking, or better to do in from the Ubuntu live CD? | 00:19 |
| nuxusr | any news on an expected release date for ubuntu for android? | 00:19 |
| escott | diverdude, depends on what exactly you want to accomplish. who are you trying to isolate and for what purpose | 00:19 |
| bjrohan | escott: I have no WIN8 CD :-( | 00:19 |
| bjrohan | escott: i just bought the comp today, no CD provided, sucky deal | 00:19 |
| Rollin | what about using the gparted live cd/usb to partition ? | 00:19 |
| escott | bjrohan, the livecd can shrink NTFS partitions | 00:19 |

| chovynz | What would be an easy way to access my ubuntu server? I'm having trouble connecting to it in an easy way. what can i set up / do so that not only me, but my kids can access the info on my server also? (ATM I connect using ftp-filezilla and ssh, but i want a web interface for my kids easy access) | 00:20 |
| diverdude | escott, a user which should not be able to browse around outside $HOME | 00:20 |
| bjrohan | escott: I turned off the secure boot in my BIOS, I should be good to to correct? | 00:20 |
| escott | diverdude, but why | 00:20 |
| diverdude | escott, because thats none of his business | 00:21 |
| escott | diverdude, what will this user be able to do outside of $HOME that you dont want him to do | 00:21 |
| escott | diverdude, its not his business to run programs in /usr/bin? | 00:21 |
| usr13 | chovynz: samba? | 00:21 |
| usr13 | chovynz: nfs? | 00:21 |
| diverdude | escott, look at various files, modify them etc | 00:21 |
| chovynz | usr13: ? | 00:21 |
| usr13 | chovynz: What is it exactly that you want to do? | 00:22 |
| escott | diverdude, a user cannot execute a program that he cannot read or navigate to. so "not his business to be outside of $HOME" means that he cannot access the computer. | 00:22 |
| usr13 | chovynz: (Was there a question in that post?) | 00:22 |
| escott | diverdude, so what exactly is it that you dont want this user doing? | 00:22 |
| escott | diverdude, and what do you want the user to do | 00:23 |
| diverdude | escott, copy his own file to and from the homedir | 00:23 |
| chovynz | usr13: I want to be able to access the server, and to click on a file and the correct application opens to play / view / read, via web so that my kids can do it too, (instead of my having to teach them ssh and ftp-filezilla | 00:23 |
| Rollin | if you need to hide private data, i suggest encryption instead of tying to confine other users | 00:23 |
| escott | diverdude, so this user is using the disk space and that is it | 00:23 |
| usr13 | chovynz: nfs? | 00:23 |
| escott | diverdude, in that case NFS or sftp | 00:23 |
| chovynz | usr13: what is nfs? | 00:23 |
| diverdude | escott, yes | 00:23 |
| hadees | i'm using foreman in ubuntu server and it just won't read my .env file I don't know why | 00:24 |
| diverdude | escott, sftp and webdav | 00:24 |
| diverdude | possibly also nfs | 00:24 |
| usr13 | chovynz: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 00:24 |
| escott | diverdude, sftp is the easiest to setup in many ways | 00:24 |
| bushin | . | 00:24 |
| chovynz | usr13: oooo! thanks. looking into it | 00:25 |
| bjrohan | escott: rebooting into LiveUSB now to do the install, will need guidance in the repertitioning | 00:25 |
| escott | diverdude, http://www.minstrel.org.uk/papers/sftp/ you can skip to the 4.9 and up instructions and skip the building/installing steps. just do apt-get install openssh-server | 00:25 |
| escott | bjrohan, you can probably just select "install alongside windows" and ubuntu should do something sensible but i would review it just to be sure | 00:25 |
| bjrohan | escott: on the first install page it shows not connected to the internet, will it connect during install to install updates? | 00:26 |
| usr13 | chovynz: Samba, if you also have MS Windows clients. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html | 00:27 |
| escott | bjrohan, depends on how you are connected. also please verify that you are booting in efi mode. navigate on the filesystem in the livecd to /sys/firmware/efi and make sure that the directory exists | 00:27 |
| chovynz | usr13: one other thing i should probably mention : my server is direct connected via wire to my router. The other pc's in the house get the local lan via wireless. Is NFS going to open up my server to the net or will my network stay hidden behind my stealthed (normal) router? | 00:28 |
| bjrohan | escott: currently I am in a menu for installing, do you suggest run from liveCD first? I can also connect via ethernet when installing | 00:28 |
| usr13 | chovynz: It will be inside the LAN, unless you create provisions to serve it to public. | 00:29 |
| usr13 | chovynz: In other words, no, it's not a security risk. | 00:29 |
| diverdude | escott, he needs access with rsync | 00:29 |
| chovynz | usr13: Thanks for that. I have samba set up already to a large extent, but that doesn't answer my question of how to get the web interface working properly so that my kids don't need to learn to program. | 00:29 |
| escott | diverdude, then you need to run an rsync server | 00:30 |
| chovynz | usr13: or am i looking at this the wrong way? | 00:30 |
| diverdude | escott, ok.... and jail him with chroot? | 00:30 |
| usr13 | chovynz: "web interface" ? What exactly are you wanting to serve to the LAN? | 00:30 |
| escott | diverdude, im sure rsync has some way of doing jails. but i wouldn't do it with chroot | 00:30 |
| krywk | Hello there. | 00:31 |

| krywk | Since there's almost nobody there, I might just come here and ask it. | 00:31 |
| escott | diverdude, you could also do ssh auth_key based restrictions to restrict him to rsync commands and then try to sanitize those rsync commands | 00:31 |
| krywk | I'm recording gameplay footage of Bioshock 2. | 00:31 |
| chovynz | usr13: im not sure myself lol. I just know there has to be an easier way for my kids to access the pdfs, avi's and mp3 that are on the server, rather than through filezilla, or ssh. | 00:31 |
| escott | diverdude, i think the rsync in ubuntu even comes with an example script | 00:31 |

| wowstargate | "Not Authorized" When Trying To Access USB Drive, Is There a way around this? | 01:13 |
| dakotawulfy | did it use to work wowstargate | 01:14 |
| wowstargate | yup | 01:14 |
| krywk | Guys | 01:14 |
| krywk | I really need help | 01:14 |
| dakotawulfy | go back to the old kernel | 01:14 |
| dakotawulfy | the new one i had soame problem | 01:15 |
| krywk | No one? :S | 01:15 |
| wowstargate | how can i install old kernel? | 01:15 |
| dakotawulfy | wowstargate u still have the old one on there??? | 01:15 |
| wowstargate | all i did was an update | 01:15 |
| dakotawulfy | did u nuistall the other one??? | 01:15 |
| dakotawulfy | ok grub | 01:16 |
| wowstargate | no | 01:16 |
| dakotawulfy | will let u boot in to the older one | 01:16 |
| wowstargate | whats the key to get to the Grub menu? | 01:16 |
| dakotawulfy | press and hold "Shift" during loading Grub. | 01:18 |
| dakotawulfy | try that | 01:18 |
| dakotawulfy | wowstargate | 01:18 |
| bjrohan | escott: Hey there. I search and searched. I can boot into Ubunut if I hit the esc key, go into Boot Device options, my options are OS Boot Manager, Ubunutu, Network, Boot from EFI file | 01:19 |
| wowstargate | k thanks bro | 01:19 |
| BlueMint | fizyplankton, what is the first section 'server' thing? | 01:19 |
| escott | bjrohan, ok so in that efi boot options you should be able to bring ubuntu to the top of the boot list | 01:20 |
| bjrohan | escott: Going into the BIOS, then boot options I have USB diskette/USB hard drive, OS Manager< Internal DVD, Newtork adapter where I can arrange the order, but no Ubunutu there. | 01:20 |
| dakotawulfy | see if that works i found it was the kernel is why usb was not working same error u had wowstargate | 01:20 |
| escott | bjrohan, i dont really know. sounds like grub-efi is installed | 01:21 |
| bjrohan | escott: perhaps now that Ubuntu is installed I can add it to that O/S boot manager | 01:21 |
| escott | bjrohan, if you have booted ubuntu then check the /boot/efi folder to see if it has a listing for ubuntu | 01:21 |
| escott | bjrohan, yeah i have no idea what o/s boot manager is presumably the windows specific efi boot menu selector | 01:21 |
| bjrohan | escott: thank you for all of your help so far. when I get it figured out I will let you know. I would like a GRUB, vs windows option | 01:23 |
| bjrohan | grr windows | 01:23 |
| bjrohan | and MS | 01:23 |
| escott | bjrohan, just make sure that grub-efi is installed, and that the ubuntu listing appears in the /boot/efi (ie in the EFI System Partition) | 01:23 |
| tumppu_ | >L1b3rator12 | 01:23 |
| escott | bjrohan, beyond that you'll have to check the ubuntu efi docs or find someone who has an efi system | 01:23 |

| zorgborg | it shouldnt matter that i mv'd the extracted dir to .rkblahblah to make it hidden b4 installing? | 01:33 |
| veri | aah.. i found out why my menu bar is too bright. there is a typo in the style sheet. | 01:33 |
| dakotawulfy | is there any way to use the alternative installer for another ubuntu distro | 01:33 |
| aah | ok but why are you telling me, veri ? | 01:34 |
| fizyplankton | BlueMint: the virtual thing is where you put the resolutions. | 01:35 |
| BlueMint | fizyplankton, you have a 1920x1080 resolution, but for it yet put like 1400 1020 | 01:36 |
| veri | i am surprised. i didn't want to bother you, aah. you have to admit your nick name is a veri common word. | 01:36 |
| fizyplankton | BlueMint: where are you talking about? | 01:36 |
| BlueMint | line 64 fizyplankton | 01:37 |
| aah | veri: that it is :) | 01:37 |
| veri | because of the type the background color is set to 95% of the foreground color `style "menubar" = "dark" { bg[NORMAL] = shade(0.95, @fg_color) }` | 01:38 |
| veri | sorry about that. :) | 01:39 |
| veri | typo* | 01:39 |
| fizyplankton | BlueMint: thats on the rightmost screen, which is a 12x10. the line that says "#ignore (i think)" is an artifact of when the system was confusing my center and right monitor reses | 01:39 |
| fizyplankton | BlueMint: go by the virtual lines, not the mode lines. if you get lost, use my decriptn at the top | 01:40 |

| whoever | hi all , have a question to make sure i understand : if using aixmodem to transmit do i need asterisk for aix to work | 01:42 |
| aaas | i guess the only way is to do iwconfig and check the bit rate, but that is signal quality dependent (i think), so not definitive if you have a bad reception | 01:43 |
| dakotawulfy | aaas | 01:44 |
| dakotawulfy | try this see if it works for u | 01:44 |
| BlueMint | fizyplankton, be right back. testing my config | 01:44 |

| dakotawulfy | look at protocol | 01:45 |
| dakotawulfy | Protocol:IEEE 802.11b | 01:46 |
| dakotawulfy | after that | 01:46 |

| systemroot | hi | 01:49 |
| aaas | actually they all say i | 01:49 |
| aaas | i think this says if the router is capable, doesn't say whether you're connected that way | 01:49 |

| roadfish | Are there any ubuntu package that can properly edit vob files? I tried gopchop, mpgtx, and avidemux but they all failed. Either got audio sync problems or the vob cut didn't work with vamps or dvdauthor. | 01:51 |
| BlueMint | fizyplankton, swing and a miss. ): Here is the code I was using. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1446539/ | 01:52 |
| dakotawulfy | ok speed for wireless 130-150 Mbps | 01:52 |
| dakotawulfy | n that is | 01:52 |
| fishscene | roadfish: VOB is usually a packaged format... have you tried converting it to another format? | 01:53 |
| dakotawulfy | aaas | 01:53 |
| aaas | dakotawulfy yes im sure im connected that way, but i think that depends on signal quality right? | 01:53 |
| dakotawulfy | so u should be using the n | 01:53 |
| aaas | so say i walk across the house | 01:53 |
| aaas | it could drop to <54 | 01:54 |
| dakotawulfy | yea | 01:54 |
| dakotawulfy | but 150 | 01:54 |
| aaas | so it's not the best test | 01:54 |
| dakotawulfy | u have to be using the n | 01:54 |
| dakotawulfy | g does not go up that far | 01:54 |
| aaas | ok now i want to do the same to a desktop across the house | 01:54 |
| aaas | it's 45 | 01:54 |
| aaas | is it n or g? | 01:54 |
| roadfish | fishscene: I want to burn the vob file after trimming and shrinking it with vamps. So I really don't want to convert into another format, then trim it, and then convert back into vob. | 01:54 |
| bjrohan | escott: Here is what I found, and it worked https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 01:55 |
| fishscene | roadfish: roger that. I'm not aware of anything (yet) that can edit vob files directly =\ | 01:55 |
| roadfish | fishscene: in my reading, I got the impression that vob and mp4 are the same. is this true? | 01:55 |
| dakotawulfy | with g u only get up to 54 | 01:56 |
| roadfish | fishscene: or is there some trivial conversion that removes some kind of simple wrapper to turn vob into mp4? | 01:56 |
| dakotawulfy | aaas | 01:56 |
| escott | bjrohan, as long as it doesnt break the windows boot | 01:56 |
| aaas | dakotawulfy or N | 01:56 |
| aaas | with a weak signal | 01:56 |
| bjrohan | Ohh, I should try that :-) booting into windoze | 01:57 |
| fizyplankton | BlueMint: a few things. even tho its the same gfx card, you need to define a seperate device for each port. also, you spelles MonitorFourtch | 01:57 |
| fishscene | roadfish: Nope. I believe VOB is a container format (like .mkv), and yes, I believe it has to be converted out of VOB first. I'm doing some research on editing vob files | 01:57 |
| BlueMint | fizyplankton, hehehe, thank you | 01:57 |
| BlueMint | and what do you mean a seperate device for each port. I did not understand at all in your paste | 01:58 |
| dakotawulfy | aaas see if u have 150 like u said | 01:58 |
| roadfish | fishscene: well, gopchop and mpgtx talk about editing. but they don't work well. and they don't seem to have received any development since 2005. | 01:58 |
| dakotawulfy | it has to be using n | 01:58 |
| aaas | dakotawulfy i cant it's a desktop across the house | 01:58 |
| dakotawulfy | because the g does not go up that far | 01:59 |
| fishscene | roadfish: Check this out: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/464549 | 01:59 |
| aaas | dakotawulfy look i walk my laptop across the house ...it WAS 150, now it's 45... did it switch from N to G? | 02:00 |
| dakotawulfy | yes | 02:00 |
| aaas | dakotawulfy i dont think that's right | 02:00 |
| dakotawulfy | that means your signal is week | 02:00 |
| dakotawulfy | but if i t can go over 54 that means it has to be using the n | 02:01 |
| dakotawulfy | because g does not go pass 54 | 02:01 |
| aaas | but n can use <54 right? | 02:01 |
| dakotawulfy | yes | 02:01 |
| aaas | ok so if you see it <54 you dont know if it's g or n right? | 02:01 |
| dakotawulfy | it will drop if signal is week | 02:01 |
| Tux|y | I am having some trouble getting a wretched winmodem working, this is what lspci -vv shows for the device: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1446557/ | 02:02 |
| dakotawulfy | well should not change on u | 02:02 |
| BlueMint | fizyplankton, thanks greatly for your help. It is very appreciated. Be right back, testing the new config | 02:02 |
| fizyplankton | BlueMint: each plug on your case counts as a device. so even tho center and right use internal, notice how i created a intdvi and intvga | 02:02 |
| dakotawulfy | if it at n it should not switch to g | 02:02 |
| aaas | dakotawulfy ok but say now i go to a different ocmputer | 02:02 |
| dakotawulfy | if your connected | 02:02 |
| aaas | and it says <54 | 02:02 |
| aaas | what do you say? | 02:02 |
| aaas | g or n? | 02:02 |
| roadfish | fishscene: ok, this looks like good stuff. makes sense in terms of what I have been reading. but it seems the author (and commenters) seems to know their stuff. | 02:02 |
| bjrohan | escott: the windows loader works as well, with a plethora of options | 02:02 |
| BlueMint | fizyplankton, be right, this is the config I am using now http://paste.ubuntu.com/1446559/ | 02:03 |
| dakotawulfy | aaas | 02:05 |
| BlueMint | fizyplankton, does not work :/ | 02:05 |
| dakotawulfy | can u check your router | 02:05 |
| dakotawulfy | it should tell u there | 02:06 |
| fizyplankton | BlueMint: tell me that outoput of lspci | grep -Ei "(intel|ati)" | 02:06 |
| aaas | dakotawulfy well just because a router is n-CAPABLE doesn't mean your device will necessarily connect that way | 02:06 |
| dakotawulfy | right | 02:07 |
| dakotawulfy | if u go into the router | 02:07 |
| dakotawulfy | it should tell u what your connections are | 02:07 |
| BlueMint | fizyplankton, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1446565/ | 02:08 |
| aaas | dakotawulfy it doesn't for dd-wrt | 02:08 |
| fizyplankton | BlueMint: what happens when you try to boot? | 02:10 |
| BlueMint | fizyplankton, goes to a screen where it says 'Graphics did not work properly, in low graphics mode' Or something like that. Then I have to rever the xorg.conf file | 02:11 |
| BlueMint | Wait | 02:12 |
| BlueMint | I don't think I have the right drivers installed | 02:12 |

| escott | RedMint, so one thing to keep in mind is that fizyplankton at least has the same basic driver driving the two displays (radeon) you will need radeonhd and intel and i have no idea how well that will work | 03:18 |

| cute_bettong | how do i terminate a zombie process? i have two of them in top but i don't know what the actuall process is | 04:29 |
| escott | fizyplankton, well BlueMint took off but i was going to advise him to check [ 5.721] (EE) Screen 0 deleted because of no matching config section. | 04:29 |
| escott | cute_bettong, you can't kill zombies. everyone knows that | 04:29 |
| escott | cute_bettong, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_process | 04:30 |
| escott | cute_bettong, long and short a zombie process is a dead child who hasn't been reaped by its parent. it sits around until the parent waits but its completely dead so there is nothing to kill | 04:32 |
| escott | cute_bettong, unix manuals are great bedtime reading for your kids | 04:33 |

| dormito | hello I just purchased an asus r11cx and I am trying to run ubuntu 12.10 live (to make sure it works and to lead into running an install). However the boot process hangs on a blank screen (there is only a cursor in the upper left) the ubuntu load screen doesn show up for a bit, and if I hit escape I can watch the progress, but it inevitably hangs at the same screen. I have tried different boot media (usb and dvd) and I have tried them | 07:05 |
| dormito | on an older asus netbook and the media does boot properly. Is there a way to obtain more information about whats failing? or if someone knows what wrong or has ideas that would help, that would be great | 07:05 |

| dormito | cfhowlett: thanks I'll try look one of those up (though that shouldnt matter, as I said the live media (i386 of course) ran on an older asus netbook, the r11cx is a new asus, and while the lighter weight would be good, it shouldnt be fatal from my point of view) | 07:09 |

| deper29 | Patero-ng: you can use any editor for that. nano is probably easiest, though i prefer(and also don't recommend) emacs | 07:42 |
| cfedde | Eagleman: what command is showing you that? | 07:42 |
| danabr | cfedde: I thought so too. I expected much more output, since openssh use to be quite good at logging stuff, but I do not see any failed public key attempts for example. | 07:43 |

| serp_ | deper29: just remap the keys then? | 07:46 |
| deper29 | serp_: yeah, I can do that. I like when stuff works out of the box though :P and again, emacs still does more than vi | 07:47 |
| deper29 | if i'm using a gui, I choose sublimetext over anything | 07:47 |
| cfedde | there is more to an editor than just key mapping. | 07:47 |
| Eagleman | Is there a way on who edited a file ? | 07:47 |
| cfedde | Eagleman: not so much. Other than the username in the ls -l listing | 07:48 |
| Eagleman | everyone logs in as root, and the timestamp is for right now, since its some sort of log file' | 07:48 |

| fidel_ | hi - i am stuck with an apt issue on a 12.10 vm. i would call myself somehow used to apt in general - but never had that specific problem. Short description can be found here: http://pastie.org/5546370 - basically apt-get update ends with some gpg and sections with no package: header errrors | 08:01 |
| fidel_ | as i removed the partial lists several time already i am wondering: is there some kind of apt-status file i might need to delete as well to jump out of that error loop i have right now? | 08:02 |
| blackshirt | fidel_, are you use some old repository ? | 08:02 |
| fidel_ | blackshirt: well i already deleted my sources.list and tried 2 other sources collections - from different countries as well. no old repositories as far as i know | 08:03 |
| fidel_ | the box had some ppa's installed before i upgraded it to 12.10 - but those were disabled at that point and not re-enabled | 08:03 |
| blackshirt | maybe better remove that ppa | 08:04 |
| fidel_ | blackshirt: currently there is no more ppa enabled at all | 08:04 |
| blackshirt | stick with newest repo | 08:04 |
| usr13 | fidel_: So, youre leaving some packages hanging, (no more updates). | 08:04 |
| palasso | I had an analogous experience. The PPA was supposedly disabled but when I checked the sources folder the txts were there with errors. So I deleted them and everything worked fine. | 08:05 |
| fidel_ | usr13: i would love to get apt back to basic work - focusing on ubuntu default packages first. | 08:05 |
| fidel_ | usr13: right now i cant use apt at all to install updates | 08:05 |
| fidel_ | as it always ends up in the errors listed in the pastie link | 08:06 |
| fidel_ | if i try to execute: sudo dpkg-reconfigure apt i get: Bus error | 08:06 |
| blackshirt | fidel_, stick ply with terminal based program..mostly thats not depends on dbus | 08:07 |

| deper29 | Sara_: oh, you don't have svn. you need that to download source. apt-get install subversion | 08:29 |
| usr13 | sgo11: You have a user named www-data? | 08:31 |
| Sara_ | where did we post the result of command line? | 08:32 |
| deper29 | Sara_: i'm sorry? | 08:32 |
| usr13 | sgo11: su - www-data | 08:32 |
| sgo11 | usr13, www-data is for apache2 and nginx. thus i have that user, but that account is disabled by login and no home directory etc... | 08:32 |
| usr13 | sgo11: What exactly are you trying to do? (What is your end goal?) | 08:33 |
| deper29 | Sara_: install svn, do that command to download source from googlesource, then cd into it, then cd into the build directory, type make | 08:34 |
| === dankest is now known as dankest|away | ||
| Sara_ | what is the default directory for the downloaded files from google code | 08:35 |
| sgo11 | usr13, su - www-data won't help. my end goal is to create/edit files with user "www-data". all files for apache2 or nginx server should be owned by www-data user. I am getting tired to chown and chmod all the time. sudo -s -u www-data seems an easy solution. only problem is the Xdislplay thing. I can fix it with xauth add I guess. but I don't want to run xauth add everytime. hopefully, my words make sense. thanks. | 08:35 |
| Sara_ | I already donwloaded it but don't know where it is | 08:36 |
| deper29 | Sara_: it'll be in your current directory | 08:36 |
| deper29 | it'll be wxwabbit someithng | 08:36 |
| Sara_ | its in home found it | 08:36 |
| somsip | sgo11: make the top directory sticky for www-data group | 08:36 |
| usr13 | sgo11: Ok. Here's what you should do. Create user for each project and symlink to /var/www. | 08:37 |
| palasso | I have a Desktop PC with an AMD Radeon HD 4870 and Ubuntu 12.10. Why aren't there any options of proprietary drivers on the 'Additional Drivers' tab? Shouldn't I be expecting 3 options? (open source and enabled, proprietary-stable, proprietary-current) | 08:37 |
| Sara_ | make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. | 08:37 |
| deper29 | Sara_: did you cd into wxwabbit? | 08:37 |
| usr13 | sgo11: In other words, mkdir public_html ; sudo ln -s public_html /var/www/MySite | 08:38 |
| Sara_ | cd wxwabbitemu-read-only | 08:38 |
| sgo11 | somsip, yeah, I knew that solution. since I am not very familiar with sticky thing, I am trying to avoid that solution even if I know how to do it. login as www-data seems easier and more reasonable solution than sticky tag. | 08:38 |
| deper29 | Sara_: okay, now within that directory there is a build directory. cd there | 08:38 |
| usr13 | sgo11: You can use as many symlinks as you like. One for each site. | 08:38 |
| sgo11 | usr13, I knew many solutions around this. but what I want now is login as www-data... | 08:38 |
| deper29 | Sara_: the wiki is outdated it seems. if you read the README.txt in the source it tells you this | 08:39 |
| usr13 | sgo11: SO wny not just move the files to your home dir? | 08:39 |
| === mquin_ is now known as mquin | ||
| === Sornaensis is now known as Superfine | ||
| usr13 | sgo11: Doesn't that seem simplier? | 08:39 |
| somsip | sgo11: well, it's easy once you set it up. or you just set up an alias to sudo chgrp -R www-data *; find . -type d -print0 | xargs -0 sudo chmod 770; find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sudo chmod 660 | 08:40 |
| Sara_ | ok terminal is done | 08:40 |
| Sara_ | Linking wxWabbitemu | 08:41 |
| usr13 | somsip: sgo11 To me, it's a lot easier to just serve from /home/sgo11/public_html | 08:41 |
| deper29 | Sara_: so in the build directory, type 'sudo make install' and that will install it :) | 08:41 |
| usr13 | somsip: sgo11 not sure why you would want to do anything more... | 08:41 |
| deper29 | unless you just want it to make a binary you can run, then you can just make | 08:41 |
| somsip | usr13: to me it's easier to chmod g+s <shrugs> | 08:41 |
| Sara_ | there is n't anyinstal file in there | 08:42 |
| Sara_ | make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. | 08:42 |
| sgo11 | somsip, usr13, thanks. I prefer sticky solution than moving/linking files to home dir. and prefer login as www-data to sticky solution. ^_^ any solutions will work. maybe I just run xauth add everytime. thanks. | 08:43 |
| usr13 | somsip: Ok, well, just seems like a long way around the block. The user should be able to manage the files from his/her own user space. | 08:43 |
| somsip | usr13: and when www-data needs to create minimised files, logs and caches? but then we're OT here... | 08:43 |

| Sara___ | did you say anything after i said there isn't any install file in build | 08:47 |
| deper29 | Sara___: are you in the bulid directroy? | 08:47 |

| Unclebeavz | hi guys | 08:48 |
| Sara___ | yeah | 08:48 |
| admiral0 | can anybody point me to the channel where ubiquity folks are? | 08:48 |
| deper29 | Sara___: and you typed 'sudo make install'? | 08:48 |
| deper29 | oh, no kidding, that doesn't work lol | 08:49 |
| Sara___ | yeah didn't work and i restarted my ubuntu do i need to make again? | 08:49 |
| deper29 | Sara___: nah, just do make | 08:49 |
| admiral0 | found it never mind | 08:49 |
| deper29 | no sudo, no install, just make | 08:49 |
| erncic | Sara___: the executable is going to be in wxwabbitemu-read-only/bin | 08:49 |
| Sara___ | this time is different ==== Building wxWabbitemu (debug) ==== | 08:50 |
| Sara___ | after make command in build | 08:50 |
| Kartagis | why doesn't pidgin-libnotify act the same in both GNOME and KDE? | 08:50 |
| deper29 | Sara___: okay, cd up one directroy | 08:50 |
| Sara___ | after sudo make install make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. | 08:50 |
| deper29 | Sara___: don't do make install, it doesn't work | 08:51 |
| deper29 | you did make though, yes? | 08:51 |

| Sara___ | what do you mean cd up one directory | 08:51 |
| Sara___ | ? | 08:51 |
| Sara___ | wxwabbitemu-read-only | 08:51 |
| deper29 | Sara___: 'cd ..' will go up one level | 08:51 |

| Sara___ | in bin | 08:52 |
| Sara___ | perfect the calculator is there | 08:53 |
| deper29 | Sara___: then in there you will see a binary to run | 08:53 |
| Sara___ | just one more thing . on the begining we installed svn or what? | 08:54 |
| deper29 | Sara___: if you want to be able to execute it from anywhere, I suggest 'sudo cp path-to-binary /usr/bin/' | 08:54 |
| deper29 | Sara___: yeah, you installed svn | 08:54 |
| Sara___ | what was the command sudo apt-get install svn | 08:54 |
| deper29 | that just installed subversion | 08:55 |
| Sara___ | no it was diffenerent no svn | 08:55 |
| deper29 | yeah, it was subversion | 08:55 |
| somsip | deper29: to put it in /usr/local/bin is slightly more standardised | 08:55 |
| deper29 | Sara___: do what somsip says | 08:55 |
| deper29 | somsip: what is the difference? | 08:56 |
| Sara___ | cp: cannot stat `path-to-binary': No such file or directory | 08:56 |
| aqua | ? | 08:56 |
| deper29 | Sara___: no, don't type path to binary, type the actual path to the binary | 08:56 |
| erncic | Sara___: you actually want sudo cp wxWabbitemu /usr/local/bin/ | 08:57 |
| deper29 | what is the difference between local/bin and bin? | 08:57 |
| somsip | deper29: AIUI, if it's not auto installed, it should be out of /usr/bin. Like: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/4186/what-is-usr-local-bin-came-across-it-in-an-script-installation-for-applescript | 08:58 |
| TakeItEZ | deper29: /usr/loca is the place for stuff coming not from the repos/distro | 08:58 |
| deper29 | ahhhh, I see | 08:58 |
| somsip | deper29: but no big issue | 08:58 |
| TakeItEZ | /usr/local* | 08:58 |
| Sara___ | should i use that command in bin directory or home or... | 08:58 |
| deper29 | I know it'll work either way since they are still both in PATH | 08:58 |
| deper29 | Sara___: sudo cp wxWabbitemu /usr/local/bin/ | 08:59 |
| Sara___ | i think im ok with the file in bin folder | 08:59 |

| Hapzzz | lynx7os5 it'll probably create a mess later on | 09:37 |
| srhb | Hapzzz: Why? | 09:37 |
| lynx7os5 | ugh.. | 09:37 |
| srhb | lynx7os5: Ideally GRUB should realize that you have several OS'es and make sure its setup for each of them. | 09:38 |
| srhb | lynx7os5: If it doesn't, you'll have to manually adjust it later on. | 09:38 |

| lynx7os5 | but then i dont want to screw up ubuntu either :p | 09:39 |

| Rajvi | srhb: the bad news is that previously i was using lm13 kde, with was just fine, now it does not even boot! | 09:46 |
| srhb | Rajvi: If it's not RAM, it's probably some disk related hardware error. Either way, IO errors are usually not caused by software. | 09:46 |

| Rajvi | Yeah i have two blocks lemme remove one | 10:17 |
| srhb | TeknoJuce: Try reading from one of the tty devices | 10:17 |
| TeknoJuce | ? | 10:17 |
| Rajvi | Thanks for ur help. I work for Intuit/Quicken. If anyone u r family etc needs help shout at me | 10:18 |
| srhb | TeknoJuce: The command tty will give you the terminal device | 10:18 |
| srhb | Rajvi: Good luck | 10:18 |
| vishal_ | is any one having solution to my problem - | 10:18 |
| vishal_ | Earlier when I used to launch terminal, it did not require to source /etc/environment (until the file is updated without resetting my login session) but since last few days this is now required everytime | 10:18 |
| srhb | TeknoJuce: You can read from that to see what is being typed | 10:18 |
| TeknoJuce | I want to input into it | 10:18 |
| srhb | TeknoJuce: You can do that, too. | 10:19 |
| TeknoJuce | so the person at the console can see what I am remotly typing | 10:19 |

| TeknoJuce | thanks srhb how would you find out if that was the correct pts besides being at the physical terminal | 10:25 |
| TeknoJuce | as when I did that it just echo'd it in my ssh session | 10:25 |
| srhb | TeknoJuce: I wouldn't | 10:26 |
| srhb | TeknoJuce: Ask the person you're helping to run tty. :) | 10:26 |
| TeknoJuce | well should I be seening the echo myself? | 10:27 |
| srhb | TeknoJuce: I'm not sure what you're asking. | 10:27 |
| TeknoJuce | I am logged onto the server via putty the user currently isnt at the terminal just wanted to get this figured out before I show them something | 10:28 |
| TeknoJuce | when I ran you command it just echo'd it back to me | 10:29 |
| srhb | TeknoJuce: use w | 10:29 |
| TeknoJuce | I would personally expect it to show nothing | 10:29 |
| srhb | TeknoJuce: Yes, sounds like you were redirecting to your own terminal | 10:29 |
| TeknoJuce | so if pts0 is my terminal how would I find the other terminals? is there like an lspts or something | 10:30 |
| srhb | TeknoJuce: w | 10:30 |
| srhb | TeknoJuce: Shows you logged in users and their ttys | 10:30 |
| lee_ | srhb, you're right. And I found a solution git clone https://username:password@hostname/username/projectname it works | 10:30 |
| TeknoJuce | ah srhb nobody is logged on as I rebooted the machine :/ | 10:31 |
| TeknoJuce | so guess I wont be able to figure this one out | 10:31 |
| srhb | TeknoJuce: You want to send to a terminal that doesn't exist... No, you can't figure that one out. :P | 10:31 |
| TeknoJuce | thanks for the nfo srhb | 10:32 |
| srhb | TeknoJuce: You're welcome. | 10:32 |
| srhb | lee_: Ideally you'd use the ssh protocol to grab the clone and have your key stored on the server so no password is required. | 10:33 |
| srhb | lee_: You can also look up credential helper | 10:33 |
| srhb | lee_: man gitcredentials | 10:34 |

| TeknoJuce | I have a vga to tv device hooked up to the videocard out putting to the tv, I wasnt getting anything on it so I was wonder if the res when it boots up was too high | 10:56 |
| srhb | TeknoJuce: You might want to check with the fbset tool. fbset -i I think | 10:56 |
| TeknoJuce | the max res the device supports is 1024x768 | 10:56 |
| TeknoJuce | though the tv might not support that high as well | 10:57 |
| TeknoJuce | so maybe 640x480 or 800x600 | 10:57 |
| srhb | TeknoJuce: Set it in /etc/default/grub if you're running a recent Ubuntu. | 10:59 |
| sgtjoykiller | ubuntu_girl: see hear http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2877962 | 11:00 |

| msh | Hi every body . How I can update ubuntu 12.04? | 11:02 |
| TeknoJuce | so just wondering what its currently set to | 11:02 |

| TeknoJuce | Config Status: cfg=new, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown | 11:04 |
| TeknoJuce | guessing it would say the res where active is? | 11:05 |
| srhb | TeknoJuce: Yes, I would have thought so as well | 11:05 |
| msh | I am ne to ubuntu 12.04 how can i update ? | 11:06 |
| TeknoJuce | oh well I will just force it down to 640x480 and see what happens | 11:06 |

| BlackDalek | I want to copy everything from computer1@192.168.1.15:/usr/share to computer2 (this computer) /usr/share using scp... what is the correct syntax to copy everything including subdirectories but skipping existing files? | 11:47 |
| srhb | BlackDalek: Use rsync and --ignore-existing | 11:50 |
| BluesKaj | sounds contradictory | 11:51 |
| srhb | BluesKaj: Why? | 11:51 |
| BluesKaj | copy everything , but skip existing files ? | 11:51 |
| srhb | BluesKaj: Well, it could have been worded better. "copy all files that do not exist on the receiving end" :P | 11:51 |
| srhb | Still it was semantically correct. | 11:52 |
| BluesKaj | srhb, ok , I suspected that , but one can never be sure | 11:52 |
| Guest40432 | sgtjoykiller: i've set it to dhcp, runned command :sudo ifdown eth0 | 11:52 |
| BluesKaj | semantically coorect is a contradiction in terms as well :) | 11:53 |
| BlackDalek | srhb, "rsync --ignore-existing computer1@192.168.1.15:/usr/share/* /usr/share/" <-- does that look correct? | 11:53 |
| BluesKaj | correct that is | 11:53 |
| srhb | BluesKaj: Oh, is it? | 11:53 |
| Guest40432 | sgtjoykiller: now im restarting the pc, hopefully it will start to connect over pppoe | 11:53 |
| dr_willis | i need to learn rsync more. i have 2 hard drives with a video collection, one is a backup. i need to figure out a nice way to be sure changes to the 'master' get applied to the copy. | 11:53 |
| srhb | BlackDalek: I think you'll need some more options on there to be sure. | 11:53 |
| srhb | BlackDalek: At the very least for recursion. | 11:54 |
| sgtjoykiller | Guest40432: no need to restart, jst bring it back up "sudo ifup eth0" | 11:54 |
| Guest40432 | sgtjoykiller: if there is a DSL connection pppoe and eth2 is set now to dhp, it should work, right? | 11:54 |
| Guest40432 | sgtjoykiller: i had to restart it cause it cuted off the connection with ssh | 11:54 |
| BlackDalek | srhb, "rsync -r --ignore-existing computer1@192.168.1.15:/usr/share/* /usr/share/" <-- how about that? | 11:54 |
| BlackDalek | would that work? | 11:55 |
| srhb | BlackDalek: Probably getting close. You're not going to get me to take responsibility for a command without you reading the manual page. :) | 11:55 |
| srhb | BlackDalek: I think you'd rather use the path /usr/share on both sides though, without the asterisk | 11:55 |
| BlackDalek | the manual confuses me :) | 11:55 |
| BlackDalek | ah ok | 11:56 |
| srhb | BlackDalek: At least read the options that you're putting on and see if that feels correct to you. | 11:56 |
| srhb | BlackDalek: And try a dry run with -n first | 11:56 |
| BlackDalek | Sometimes, the options aren't immediately obvious even after reading... especially if I am not familiar with all the terminology used | 11:57 |
| Guest40432 | sgtjoykiller: it looks like it didnt connected to internet | 11:57 |
| Guest40432 | sgtjoykiller: im wondering why.. | 11:57 |
| srhb | BlackDalek: Then I guess you can cross your fingers and hope you don't hose your system because of some idiot on the internet giving you wrong advice. :-) Do a backup! | 11:57 |
| sgtjoykiller | Guest40432: did your provider give u a static ip to use when configoring? | 11:58 |
| BlackDalek | srhb, the source computer IS the backup... the destination is not so important as it is fresh/clean install | 11:58 |
| Guest40432 | sgtjoykiller: they told us that we will have a static ip, but via dhcp, probably static dhcp | 11:58 |
| BluesKaj | Guest40432, do you have network manager installed on the ssh'd pc ? | 11:59 |
| Guest40432 | BluesKaj: yes, i do have | 11:59 |
| BlackDalek | srhb, so if the system is destroyed by following wrong advice, it's no big problem ;) | 11:59 |
| srhb | BlackDalek: Follow my possibly wrong advice then :-) | 11:59 |
| ktf | Hi All, i have a server which had redhat installed (and working), I wiped it, and installed ubuntu 12.04, but now the network is not working correctly.... the eth0 interface is there and configured, but when I tcpdump on eth0, I can ONLY see broadcast traffic (i.e. STP from the switches), ping to/from the box does not work. | 12:00 |
| BluesKaj | Guest40432, network manager has to be setup to a static IP afaik , altho I haven't used it in yrs | 12:00 |
| srhb | BlackDalek: You could probably get away with the -a option to preserve ownership as well, but I think that's unimportant for /usr/share | 12:00 |
| === yavor is now known as y4h0 | ||
| BlackDalek | srhb, it says -a is for "archive" though... | 12:01 |
| sgtjoykiller | BlueEagle: he wants 2 use DHCP | 12:01 |
| srhb | BlackDalek: Right, which just preserves a lot of thing. I found out my advice was wrong, by the way | 12:02 |
| srhb | BlackDalek: You need the trailing slash on the source, but not the destination. (That always confuses me) | 12:02 |
| Guest40432 | BluesKaj: im going to the place where this pc is | 12:02 |
| srhb | BlackDalek: (otherwise you would get /usr/share/share) | 12:02 |
| Guest40432 | i will be back from there to further instructions guys, i need to make this to work | 12:03 |
| Guest40432 | be right back | 12:03 |
| sgtjoykiller | Guest40432: can i c your /etc/network/interfaces please | 12:03 |
| BlackDalek | srhb, ah ok - that is probably where I went wrong last time... Last time I tried, I ended up copying over 400Gb of data from a 120Gb disk... | 12:03 |

| BluesKaj | sgtjoykiller,then network manager could be a problem , might be better of with setting up /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head , and removing neywork manager , and let the interfaces file set up his internet connection | 12:06 |
| cornfeed | does anyone know what package owns vbeinfo | 12:07 |
| cornfeed | the livecd seems to have vbetool, but that does not seem to be what I am looking for | 12:08 |
| Martin_ | cornfeed: $ dpkg-query -S vbeinfo | 12:08 |
| Martin_ | no sorry, it's not what you want. | 12:09 |
| notwist | MrWibbles: depends entirely on what they are supposed to do with the machine | 12:09 |
| cornfeed | yeah that searches for package names | 12:09 |
| srhb | Martin_: You are probably thinking of apt-fie | 12:09 |
| srhb | Martin_: apt-file* | 12:10 |
| notwist | MrWibbles: they should be able to write/read their own files and compile without root, so they don't need root for something like that | 12:10 |
| Martin_ | srhb: yes apt-file | 12:10 |
| cornfeed | but if you have a command that reverses figures out a binary to the package that owns it, i need to know this commang | 12:10 |
| cornfeed | command* | 12:10 |
| MrWibbles | notwist:run ruby, install ruby gems, run unit tests, develop code, test code, test code in the browser | 12:10 |
| cornfeed | i will check it out, thanks! | 12:10 |
| MrWibbles | nottwist:i've got one developer being adamant they need root.. but i can't see where | 12:10 |
| cornfeed | Martin_: soo...which package owns apt-file :-[ | 12:11 |
| sgtjoykiller | BluesKaj: i dont think this is nesercry at this point | 12:11 |
| cornfeed | :-p* | 12:11 |
| srhb | cornfeed: apt-file | 12:11 |
| notwist | MrWibbles: im not sure if ruby gems are installed in the userspace, but if they are no root is required | 12:11 |
| cornfeed | yeah the live cd does not contain that binary | 12:11 |
| cornfeed | srhb: ^ | 12:11 |
| MrWibbles | they are installed in ruby space | 12:11 |
| notwist | MrWibbles: if you don't give developers root you (or someone with root) should be available to install stuff for them when they need it | 12:11 |
| Martin_ | sudo apt-get install apt-file | 12:12 |
| srhb | cornfeed: No, but it's in the packages online. :) | 12:12 |
| notwist | MrWibbles: otherwise the work might stall completely | 12:12 |
| MrWibbles | yeah exactly | 12:12 |
| cornfeed | Martin_: yeah i just tried that | 12:12 |
| cornfeed | hmm brb | 12:12 |
| MrWibbles | senior developers | 12:12 |
| MrWibbles | can install software | 12:12 |
| notwist | MrWibbles: if someone is around to approve installation of new software, giving root to everyone is a bad idea, it should be approved first | 12:12 |
| Hamten | Hi all | 12:12 |
| bhavesh | You can create a desktop shortcut by dragging apps from unity menu but when I am using GNOME shell, how do I create desktop shortcuts? | 12:12 |
| MrWibbles | nottwist: excellent | 12:12 |
| notwist | MrWibbles: so give someone who has a clue what they are doing root access and let everyone else go through that person | 12:12 |
| Martin_ | cornfeed: anyway $ apt-file search vbeinfo returns nothing | 12:12 |
| notwist | MrWibbles: that way you also have one person responsible if everything burns up | 12:13 |
| Hamten | How to add chinese surpport in debianm | 12:13 |
| MrWibbles | notwist:i love it | 12:13 |
| MrWibbles | it's good, we had the developers run havok with the production servers | 12:13 |
| MrWibbles | so we had to remove their access | 12:13 |
| === Someguy1234 is now known as Someguy123 | ||
| MrWibbles | and now i'm wondering if it's a good idea on their own machines | 12:13 |
| MrWibbles | then we can also automate updates and backups | 12:13 |
| notwist | MrWibbles: developers should develop in their userspace with the tools they are given, if they need other tools they should request them | 12:14 |
| sgtjoykiller | Guest40432: g2g bbl see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE | 12:14 |
| sgtjoykiller | cya guys | 12:14 |
| === Someguy123 is now known as Guest16588 | ||
| notwist | MrWibbles: well, you can do _a lot_ in Linux without root acces... so it's usually better to think by default that people shouldn't have it until they can prove otherwise | 12:14 |
| === Guest16588 is now known as Someguy123 | ||
| bhavesh | How do you create desktop shortcuts (icons) on gnome shell in Ubuntu 12.10? | 12:15 |
| srhb | notwist, MrWibbles: It strikes me that it should not be impossible to restrict to passwordless apt-get install'ing | 12:15 |
| notwist | MrWibbles: you have to understand though that from a security point of view you can never make sure someone doesnt have root if they have physical access | 12:15 |
| MrWibbles | notwist:yeah.. i think you can | 12:16 |
| MrWibbles | full disk encryption | 12:16 |
| MrWibbles | TPM chip and checksums | 12:16 |
| MrWibbles | unless they can root the box | 12:16 |
| MrWibbles | using some known exploit | 12:16 |
| Martin_ | cornfeed: vbeinfo is a GRUB command | 12:17 |
| notwist | MrWibbles: what does full disk encryption have to do with anything | 12:19 |
| notwist | MrWibbles: if you dont give them the key they cant use the computer | 12:19 |
| MrWibbles | means you can't take the hdd | 12:19 |
| MrWibbles | and mount it | 12:19 |
| notwist | So how are they supposed to work? | 12:19 |
| MrWibbles | with external tools | 12:19 |
| MrWibbles | the TPM chip stores the encryption key | 12:19 |
| MrWibbles | so they can boot the machine up | 12:20 |
| notwist | And the TPM chip isn't readable if you boot from USB for example? | 12:20 |
| MrWibbles | nah.. it's never readable | 12:20 |
| notwist | If the computer can decrypt the drive on startup, why can't a secondary OS decrypt it if you have physical access? | 12:20 |
| MrWibbles | because you've locked all that down in the bios | 12:21 |
| designerh | hello every body! | 12:21 |
| MrWibbles | and you can't add additional devices | 12:21 |
| notwist | MrWibbles: the bios can be reset if you have physical access to the device | 12:21 |
| Eagleman | Resetting my password fails in mysql: http://pastebin.com/MmtzprbC | 12:21 |
| designerh | have a good day | 12:21 |
| MrWibbles | notwist:then the compute rwon't boot | 12:21 |
| MrWibbles | because then the PCR registers will be different | 12:22 |
| designerh | i have a problem with Ubuntu 12-10 | 12:22 |
| cornfeed | Martin_: yeah my livecd was not using apt properly or something. i ended up with the same no result too in the end...thanks for the help though | 12:23 |
| notwist | MrWibbles: im just saying, I still cant see how it's technically impossible for another OS to spoof the drive into thinking that it's a normal boot | 12:23 |
| designerh | when i am clicked on dash home commuter hanged up | 12:23 |
| notwist | MrWibbles: if you can get read/write access to the drive in any way, which you need to use it at all, you can exploit it | 12:24 |
| MrWibbles | you can't write to it | 12:24 |
| MrWibbles | ok.. so you turn the computer on | 12:24 |
| notwist | MrWibbles: you can't write anything to it period? | 12:24 |
| MrWibbles | you can... but it's all encyrpted | 12:24 |
| MrWibbles | so if you write anything | 12:24 |
| designerh | pleas any solve to this problem | 12:24 |
| MrWibbles | you'll screw it up | 12:24 |
| MrWibbles | the TCM decrypts and runs the tools | 12:24 |
| FloodBot1 | MrWibbles: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 12:24 |
| designerh | pleas any solve to this problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 12:25 |
| MrWibbles | the tools then checks the registeres on the bios to see if anything has changes.. if anything has changed.. it doesn't decrypt and boot the drive | 12:25 |
| notwist | MrWibbles: look, I realize it's encrypted, I'm not completely lost here. What I'm saying is that I don't see how it's impossible for a third party OS (custom Linux or whatever) to play the role of a normal boot sequence and get access to the drive that way, like a normal input/output sequence that would happen when you boot it | 12:25 |
| MrWibbles | for you to boot, you have to have two things.. 1. you need the TCM chip and 2. you need to know the exact configuration of everything in the bios including the bios password | 12:26 |
| MrWibbles | if you don't have either of those... you can't decrypt the drive. | 12:26 |
| notwist | MrWibbles: Ok, so why is it impossible for another device to 1) read the BIOS contents 2) use this to decrypt the drive 3) do whatever | 12:26 |
| MrWibbles | notwist: because the TPM chips have been specifically designed so that you can't | 12:27 |
| designerh | pleas ,when i am clicked on dash home commuter hanged up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 12:27 |
| notwist | designerh: and if you restart it? | 12:27 |
| designerh | what can i do to solve ? | 12:28 |
| notwist | MrWibbles: fine, I freely admit I don't know enough about how it works but I have a hard time understanding why [BIOS] - [HDD] cant be interrupted like [BIOS] - [Malicious device] - [HDD] | 12:28 |
| notwist | designerh: you can start by actually describing your problem. if you computer just hangs, try restarting it. does it hang again? | 12:28 |
| marsfligth | Why Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit after xx mins blank screen even if has been set to stay always on? It does the same on another my Computer with the same OS. Thanks | 12:29 |
| designerh | yes, when i clicked on dash home | 12:29 |
| MrWibbles | notwist: yeah i don't understand either.. i'm in the investigation stage.. this is how somoene i know is trying to make military computers secure from state attacks | 12:29 |
| MrWibbles | notwist: also we are going to lock the computers into cages under the desk | 12:30 |
| notwist | MrWibbles: the only thing I know is that when you get down to the physical defense of your data the only thing that makes it harder (but not impossible) is basically gluing everything so you cant interrupt signals anywhere | 12:30 |
| notwist | MrWibbles: how come you trust your developers so little by the way :) | 12:31 |
| notwist | designerh: backup all your stuff, reinstall ubuntu. will save you a load of time | 12:31 |
| notwist | designerh: if you've done sane partitioning you don't even have to backup stuff since /home/ should be a separate partition | 12:31 |
| MrWibbles | notwist: in china.. it's quite common for software/other research to be stolen by other companies for the purposes of a) stealing b)sabotaging | 12:31 |
| MrWibbles | and one of those ways is by sending developers in | 12:32 |
| MrWibbles | also .. this shit is fun :D | 12:32 |
| notwist | MrWibbles: I see, that sucks. Well, in that case, you def. should restrict root access :) dont forget to modify permissions so that reading other peoples files isnt possible either | 12:32 |
| MrWibbles | we're actually mainly doing it, because we have to give our clients machines with full copies of our software on it | 12:32 |
| MrWibbles | and running... thats the main reason | 12:32 |
| notwist | MrWibbles: so, they don't have internet access? | 12:33 |
| MrWibbles | so we won't even have the devices in our possesion | 12:33 |
| MrWibbles | notwist: 80 and 443 | 12:33 |
| GrubTrouble | Hello, can someone tell me please how to hide a partition in the grub entries when booting?, I already tried google, tried chmod -x on the file in the grub.d, tried to comment lines in the grub.cfg, always update-grub after making changes, and no results | 12:33 |
| notwist | MrWibbles: well, how are you going to prevent leaks | 12:33 |
| MrWibbles | and that goes to a VPN we run | 12:33 |
| notwist | MrWibbles: you can SSH out from 443 | 12:33 |
| MrWibbles | nah.. easy to detect | 12:33 |
| MrWibbles | you'd need some shit to cloak it.. maybe something like openvpn | 12:33 |
| notwist | cloak what? that its SSH traffic? | 12:34 |
| MrWibbles | yeah.. you can detect it | 12:34 |
| MrWibbles | and openvpn would require root access on the machine | 12:34 |
| notwist | i saw some software posted just today on reddit where you can have a host answer on 443 and act as a webserver while still allowing ssh on the same port | 12:34 |
| MrWibbles | interesting | 12:35 |
| notwist | you can also tunnel SSH over HTTPS: http://dag.wieers.com/howto/ssh-http-tunneling/ | 12:35 |
| MrWibbles | our current vpn has to do all sorts of crazy stuff | 12:35 |
| MrWibbles | ohhh | 12:35 |
| MrWibbles | now that is intersting | 12:35 |
| notwist | so if you would do that, i suppose leaking your software could be done | 12:35 |
| MrWibbles | aweesooome | 12:36 |
| MrWibbles | bunch of these protections + alarms | 12:36 |
| MrWibbles | .. what's the chance they are going to get through on their first try :) | 12:36 |
| dr_willis | GrubTrouble: what partitiin? | 12:36 |
| MrWibbles | notwist: i bookmarked that shit.. is awesome :D | 12:37 |
| notwist | depending on the size of your software i think one of the first alarms i would set is for bandwidth usage | 12:37 |
| GrubTrouble | dr_willis: we work with an operating system for disabled people | 12:37 |
| GrubTrouble | called f123 | 12:37 |
| MrWibbles | notwist: yeah we thought of that.. just for uploads | 12:37 |
| GrubTrouble | we need to hide it because we give pendrives with many solutions and we need to hide this | 12:37 |
| notwist | GrubTrouble: I would say dont run update-grub. You can update the grub config manually instead (scripts) | 12:37 |
| MrWibbles | yeah.. also | 12:37 |
| df_ | hello everyone! I've just installed Ubuntu 12.10 and really enjoying it, but still experiencing some problems. Firstly, why I can't access to /media/username now? Because it's owned by root/root with 750 permission, but why I had fully access earlier? | 12:38 |
| MrWibbles | they wouldn't be able to run any command line stuff | 12:38 |
| MrWibbles | because we'd have logs | 12:38 |
| BlessJah | hi, i've got BearPaw 2448 CU Pro scanner that isn't supported by sane, is there any way to get it working under ubuntu? | 12:38 |
| MrWibbles | so they'd have to do it all from within a web-browser | 12:38 |
| GrubTrouble | notwist: do u have these scripts | 12:38 |
| notwist | MrWibbles: well depending on if they care about staying the next day or not and how often you check the logs, it might not matter :p | 12:38 |
| GrubTrouble | notwist: im not programmer,thats my problem | 12:38 |
| notwist | GrubTrouble: lol no, hire someone who can make them | 12:38 |
| MrWibbles | notwsit: true. yeah | 12:38 |
| MrWibbles | we'll have to think about it | 12:38 |
| dr_willis | GrubTrouble: so what fileststem is this os using? | 12:38 |
| MrWibbles | but them not having root is a damn good start | 12:38 |
| notwist | MrWibbles: haha, yeah id say | 12:39 |
| GrubTrouble | dr_willis: ext4 | 12:39 |
| notwist | MrWibbles: you might even want to consider a completely offline environment to avoid leaks | 12:39 |
| notwist | MrWibbles: because if you | 12:39 |
| notwist | 're online, you can send whatever you wasnt | 12:39 |
| MrWibbles | nah can't do that | 12:39 |
| MrWibbles | hit's productivity way too much | 12:39 |
| MrWibbles | they need the internet | 12:39 |
| notwist | MrWibbles: well all of it doesnt need to be online. again, senior dev can have access, all other devs go through that one | 12:39 |
| dr_willis | GrubTrouble: so its seeign the ext4 and a linux kernel? | 12:39 |
| MrWibbles | notwist: good point | 12:40 |
| MrWibbles | do junior devs need internet.... | 12:40 |
| notwist | MrWibbles: if they need documentation, they can get it from him, etc | 12:40 |
| MrWibbles | notwist: all the docs will be on their computers | 12:40 |
| notwist | MrWibbles: if its high security stuff, offline environments are standard | 12:40 |
| GrubTrouble | dr_willis: the current im using 3.2.0-31-generic, the one of the system i want to hide 2.6.x | 12:40 |
| vila | hi all ! | 12:40 |
| notwist | MrWibbles: dont forget to glue the USB ports, good luck ;) | 12:40 |
| GrubTrouble | dr_willis: they are on the same pendrive | 12:40 |
| MrWibbles | notwist: disable in bios | 12:40 |
| notwist | vila: hey | 12:40 |
| notwist | MrWibbles: doesnt hurt to be redundant | 12:41 |
| vila | after upgrading my precise desktop this morning (new kernel 3.2.0-35), I lost network connectivity :-/ | 12:41 |
| MrWibbles | notwist: yeah.. but i might want them | 12:41 |
| MrWibbles | haha | 12:41 |
| notwist | MrWibbles: you can always install extra usb ports later | 12:41 |
| nori1 | hi guys, | 12:41 |
| vila | I restored eth0 with ifdown/ifup (!!) but still lack dns. Does that ring any bell ? | 12:41 |
| MrWibbles | bios switch off is good enough | 12:41 |
| nori1 | im back with my pppoe and eth2 problem | 12:41 |
| MrWibbles | if they reset bios.. they can't do anything anyway | 12:41 |
| vila | I also tried reverting to 3.2.0.-33 which properly configure eth0 but the dns issue is still there | 12:42 |
| GrubTrouble | vila: u edited resolv.conf,right?, how u get connected? | 12:43 |
| notwist | vila: try setting DNS manually | 12:43 |
| notwist | vila: google is great and has 8.8.8.8 | 12:43 |
| vila | GrubTrouble: I touched nothing, just update, reboot | 12:43 |
| GrubTrouble | vila, nano /etc/resolv.conf and add your dns | 12:43 |
| GrubTrouble | provided by ur ISP vila | 12:44 |
| notwist | GrubTrouble vila honestly id recommend googles dns first of all, isp dnses can be down | 12:44 |
| vila | I get the dns from dhcp which is working fine from *this* desktop (which is also running precise and 3.2.0-35 8-/) | 12:44 |
| notwist | GrubTrouble vila if it works with Googles DNS manually and not with automatic DNS config, somethings wrong with the auto dns fetching so atleast you know that | 12:45 |
| GrubTrouble | vila: well, something isnt working, setting ur dns in the resolv wont make u problems, but maybe try to set the default gateway so, and dhclient or dhcpd | 12:45 |
| GrubTrouble | if u refuse to add them | 12:45 |
| GrubTrouble | well,someone can help me with grub please?,yesterday i tried from 9:30 till 17:30 and couldnt get it working | 12:46 |
| vila | GrubTrouble: setting 'nameserver 8.8.8.8' in resolv.conf is not better | 12:46 |
| notwist | GrubTrouble: please explain why you necessarily NEED to run grub updates to begin with | 12:47 |
| notwist | vila: I wrote that to you, not GrubTrouble | 12:47 |
| vila | notwist: gha, sorry ;-/ | 12:47 |
| GrubTrouble | vila: 8.8.8.8 no | 12:47 |
| GrubTrouble | vila: ur dns provided by ur isp | 12:47 |
| notwist | vila: what do you mean its "not better"? also, try pinging ip-adresses | 12:47 |
| notwist | 173.194.67.100 should be Google | 12:47 |
| GrubTrouble | notwist: because google manuals says it | 12:47 |
| notwist | GrubTrouble: say what? | 12:48 |
| vila | ping'ing ip on my lan works (even .local works) | 12:48 |
| GrubTrouble | vila: just leave two lines nameserver firstdnsnumber | 12:48 |
| GrubTrouble | and nameserver secondnds | 12:48 |
| notwist | vila: and pinging external ips? if that doesnt work, its not a dns problem | 12:48 |
| GrubTrouble | notwist: that after editing or making changes y must update-grub | 12:48 |
| GrubTrouble | otherwise changes wont be saved | 12:48 |
| BlessJah | anyone willing to help with unsupported by sane mustek bearpaw 2448 cu pro? | 12:48 |
| GrubTrouble | I also tried without saving and no difference notwist | 12:48 |
| GrubTrouble | notwist: i downloaded grub-customizor but it seems new version cant hide partitions like the olds did | 12:49 |
| notwist | ok.. well im not familiar with hiding partitions in grub, sorry | 12:49 |
| kpm | hello | 12:49 |
| vila | wow, can't ping outside my network ! Wth ? Never saw that... | 12:49 |
| kpm | i nee a tool that i can split a subtitle from a movie | 12:49 |
| notwist | vila: so its a routing problem. gl hf :P | 12:49 |
| kpm | a CLI too | 12:49 |
| kpm | tool | 12:49 |
| * vila tries to reboot the router | 12:49 | |
| Peanut | Hi folks - when I boot my machine, I get the graphical login, but after entering username/password, I get a black screen for a few seconds, then I'm back at the login prompt. I have plenty of diskspace, can log in fine over the VTs, where to look? | 12:50 |
| vila | naaah, pinging external ips works from *this* desktop so the router is ok | 12:50 |
| GrubTrouble | vila http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/6236/dns1m.jpg here an example,just sustitute these numbers for ur own dns | 12:50 |
| dr_willis | kpm: depends on how the subtitle is in the video file. but ffmpeg, or mencoder may be able to do it. their faq's have lots of examples | 12:51 |
| Peanut | This is Ubuntu 12.04LTS by the way, Unity desktop. | 12:51 |
| notwist | vila: that conclusion makes no sense. | 12:51 |
| GrubTrouble | vila: pining ip has nothing todo with dns | 12:51 |
| notwist | vila: one node working does not mean that all nodes must be working | 12:51 |
| GrubTrouble | pinging | 12:51 |
| kpm | thanks dr_willis | 12:51 |
| vila | notwist: one node sending packets through the router means the router works, the issue is on the other desktop | 12:51 |
| notwist | vila: 99 % of people have shitty routers under $50, they can give you all kinds of weird errors that disappear with a reboot | 12:52 |
| notwist | vila: im not saying i know your router is causing this, but your conclusion makes no sense and you should step away from it | 12:52 |
| GrubTrouble | did u try what we told u before? | 12:53 |
| notwist | vila: routers suddenly not accepting _new_ nodes why old ones still work is one of the most classic weird errors you get from cheap routers, it can be cause by full buffers and god knows what | 12:53 |
| GrubTrouble | Hello, can someone tell me please how to hide a partition in the grub entries when booting?, I already tried google, tried chmod -x on the file in the grub.d, tried to comment lines in the grub.cfg, always update-grub after making changes, and no results | 12:54 |
| vila | notwist: well, the router is also the adsl modem, provided by the isp, worked 24/7 for the last... years and my laptop also on the same lan works, I rebooted the router this morning nevertheless but since only a single node is failing, I can't reboot the router endlessly without visible change no ? | 12:54 |
| Transhumanist | Can anybody recommend a good, reasonably cheap home router? Extra points for one that plays extra well with wireless mesh networking. | 12:54 |
| notwist | vila: does it give out local ips? did your non-working computer get a local ip? in that case, nothing is wrong between your NIC and your router | 12:54 |
| Transhumanist | Below $300 USD. Preferably Broadcom | 12:55 |
| notwist | vila: if you have a local ip, can ping other local ips but you are denied access to the net that is almost certainly the router doing that | 12:55 |
| GrubTrouble | Transhumanist: Cisco LInksys routers are very cheap and good | 12:55 |
| YokoBR | hey guys, i was using postfix, but then i accidentally installed sendmail and now postfix doesn't work anymore :( Something about write permission i/o error | 12:55 |
| dr_willis | Transhumanist: check the revie2ws at the smallnetbuilder type web sites | 12:55 |
| notwist | vila: the only other conclusion would be that the NIC in that computer is blocking non-local ips and that makes no sense unless you configured it that way | 12:55 |
| notwist | Transhumanist: whats you requirement on ethernet throughput | 12:55 |
| GrubTrouble | Transhumanist: well,it costs around 30 dollars in uruguay | 12:56 |
| Transhumanist | I'd prefer 1 Gbps | 12:56 |

| notwist | Transhumanist: if you're ok with about 60 Mbit throughput and want a cheap, awesome linux router with great meshing capability and custom firmwares, WRT54G is the kalashnikov of the router world | 12:56 |
| vila | notwist: not configured that way but is hosting vms with their own mac addresses so my router (also the dhcp server) give them proper local ips too | 12:56 |
| GrubTrouble | Transhumanist: where r u from | 12:56 |
| notwist | Transhumanist: otherwise just get more expensive linksys/cisco variants | 12:56 |
| dr_willis | GrubTrouble: the hardcore way would be to edit the grub.cfg file. but youre not really supposed to do that | 12:57 |
| notwist | vila: the point stands, they get a local ip so the router is doing its job | 12:57 |

| vila | eth1 is not plugged at all | 12:57 |
| dr_willis | GrubTrouble: this entry is for the whole os? or just a single kernel on the os? | 12:57 |
| Transhumanist | notwist: cheers. I'll probably grab that then. It sounds cool. | 12:58 |
| Transhumanist | does it support OpenWRT? | 12:58 |
| GrubTrouble | dr_willis: a whole os | 12:58 |
| GrubTrouble | dr_willis: an additional ubuntu | 12:58 |
| dr_willis | GrubTrouble: so how do you ever boot it? | 12:58 |
| notwist | Transhumanist: i think so, check their page | 12:58 |
| researcher123 | how to set time & date? | 12:58 |
| notwist | ActionParsnip: yes I can | 12:58 |
| ActionParsnip | notwist: but you get no web pages? | 12:59 |
| notwist | ActionParsnip: why would I? its a dns server | 12:59 |
| vila | notwist: not sure I follow which point you're talking about, the broken host also get a local ip from the dhcp server | 12:59 |
| GrubTrouble | dr_willis: start the computer, and choose among the f123,this ubuntu i want to hide, the ubuntu im using, and there is a third one which only is used to clone and restore | 12:59 |
| ActionParsnip | notwist: sounded like you weren't getting web access on the box | 12:59 |
| GrubTrouble | dr_willis: they are located in different partitions | 12:59 |
| notwist | ActionParsnip: i havent even asked a question here so im think you misunderstanding something | 12:59 |
| ActionParsnip | notwist: likely :) | 13:00 |
| YokoBR | i was using postfix, but then i accidentally installed sendmail and now postfix doesn't work anymore :( Something about write permission i/o error | 13:00 |

| Peanut | Is there a way to nuke the whole Unity configuration? I have a 12.04 box, and when I log in, I get a black screen and a few seconds later, I'm back at the login prompt. But when I create a new user, that user can log in just fine. | 13:01 |
| GrubTrouble | YokoBR: copy paste the error then we can try to help u | 13:01 |
| GrubTrouble | pastebin.com YokoBR | 13:01 |
| dr_willis | GrubTrouble: editing the grub.cfg should work then. if its the os-prober file thats adding the entry you could disable os-prober. or edit the os-prober script to skip that entry. the grub.cfg file will state if it was os-prober that added the entry or not | 13:01 |
| Transhumanist | Peanut: I had that problem too. Moving to 12.10 fixed it. | 13:02 |
| notwist | vila: well i have no idea, sounds like some local configuration is blocking internet access | 13:02 |
| Transhumanist | (it was recurrent across multiple computers) | 13:02 |
| notwist | vila: maybe some firewall setting, i dunno | 13:02 |
| dr_willis | Peanut: deleate or rename/move the various config files in the users home. | 13:02 |
| vila | notwist: no worries, thanks for the help | 13:02 |
| GrubTrouble | dr_willis: if i have two os prober, can i disable only one of them? | 13:02 |
| Peanut | dr_willis: thanks - what are those config files though? (please note I can only google through Lynx at the moment..) | 13:02 |

| Peanut | Transhumanist: great solution, but a bit scary ;-) | 13:03 |
| sgt_hagger | Hey guys, anyway to make banshee sort by track order? | 13:03 |
| notwist | Peanut: just back it all up. Send all hidden folders to a tar.gz file, then delete them | 13:03 |
| dr_willis | Peanut: just look at them. move them ALL to a backup directory ;) move them back later | 13:03 |
| neckcon | anyone have any idea why when I install ubuntu along side of vista...there is no side bar? msg me | 13:03 |
| notwist | neckcon: wubi | 13:03 |
| notwist | neckcon: or wait what, sidebar? | 13:04 |
| researcher123 | system setting button stopped working | 13:04 |
| notwist | neckcon: also, dont request /msg - write in the channel | 13:04 |
| dr_willis | GrubTrouble: theres only the one os_prober script called via the /etc/grub.d/##_scripts that i know of | 13:04 |
| neckcon | ok thx...yes wubi | 13:04 |
| === cryptfu_ is now known as Guest90485 | ||
| neckcon | there is nothing there on the desktop except the bar at the top | 13:05 |
| notwist | neckcon: so? | 13:05 |
| neckcon | how do I get the side bar with firefox, spreedsheet, write, ect | 13:05 |
| nokiahost | whqts up ? | 13:06 |
| notwist | neckcon: unity? you might have chosen to start without it | 13:06 |
| sgt_hagger | because it has the track numbers, so it should be able to sort correctly surely? | 13:06 |
| notwist | neckcon: is this what you are seeing http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/03/gnome-classic-in-ubuntu-12-04-its-like-nothing-ever-changed | 13:06 |
| researcher123 | when I click System Setting I dont get anything on screen | 13:07 |
| nokiahost | u do not see settings aplet? | 13:07 |
| dr_willis | heh.. except the gnome fallback has a lot of little differances then the actial gnome2 | 13:08 |
| dr_willis | just enough to confuse people | 13:08 |
| GrubTrouble | dr_willis: now u say, i tried to do chmod -x os_prober | 13:08 |
| GrubTrouble | dr_willis: do u know another way to disable it? | 13:08 |
| neckcon | like the 3rd image down that page. No home folder, firefox, ect... and nothing but the bar at the top that says Ubuntu Desktop | 13:08 |
| dr_willis | GrubTrouble: it would not be 'os_prober' but /etc/grub.d/30_os_prober (or whatever its called) | 13:08 |
| GrubTrouble | 13_os-prober_proxy | 13:09 |
| dr_willis | GrubTrouble: IF its that 30_os-prober thats adding the entry | 13:09 |
| notwist | neckcon: look at "From the Unity Greeter select the ‘GNOME Classic’ session and login. | 13:09 |
| GrubTrouble | dr_willis: 13_os-prober-proxy | 13:09 |
| dr_willis | proxy? | 13:09 |
| notwist | neckcon: see if you can change that to something else than gnome classic, if that is your choice now | 13:09 |
| notwist | neckcon: try "ubuntu" | 13:09 |
| GrubTrouble | dr_willis: and i have 15_os-prober_proxy too | 13:09 |
| GrubTrouble | yes dr_willis | 13:09 |

| dr_willis | GrubTrouble: i dont have any of those. | 13:10 |
| nokiahost | brb | 13:10 |
| dr_willis | run them as a test and they should print what they add to the grub.cfg | 13:11 |

| sogeking99 | Hey guys, anyway to sort banshee by track order? Because it has the track numbers listed in the track column, so surely it can do it? | 13:14 |
| Peanut | Solved! I had an .Xauthority-file in my homedir that was owned by root. | 13:14 |
| vila | notwist: i.e. I still don't know why it broke but at least I can restore some sanity and investigate | 13:14 |
| dr_willis | GrubTrouble: you basically need to figure out what script is adding ghe entrys you dont want and make it not executable. (or move it out of the grub.d directory) | 13:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Peanut: if you run GUI apps with sudo, that happens | 13:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Peanut: its why gksudo exists | 13:15 |
| GrubTrouble | dr_willis: u mean by moving these os_prober out the directory can i solve it? | 13:16 |
| notwist | vila: sounds like internet is working with eth0 but not via br0, thats usually where i get stuck every time i try to set up a bridge, followed by me deleting br0 again and everything working fine | 13:16 |
| GrubTrouble | dr_willis: im not programmer, making a script is out of my possibilities | 13:16 |
| dr_willis | GrubTrouble: IF those are the ones adding it.. run them and look what entries they create | 13:16 |
| notwist | GrubTrouble: do you think people are born programmers? | 13:16 |
| dr_willis | you are not making a script.. you are seeing what the scripts do | 13:17 |
| vila | notwist: right, so, now all my kvm-based vms are broken ;) | 13:17 |
| GrubTrouble | dr_willis: thank u, good idea | 13:17 |
| sogeking99 | anyone know? | 13:17 |
| notwist | vila: they probably go through the bridge.. i have no idea, i dont know jack about kvm | 13:17 |
| GrubTrouble | dr_willis: but both scripts create two entries,two partitions, sda2 and sda3, while i only want to hide the sda3 | 13:17 |
| asdklasfg | hi! i am in sort of a trouble, there is an ubuntu server with apache2 (should be running, installed by somebody who was there before me), but httpd process isnt running and when i try to start it, i get "command not found". everything in /etc/apache2 seems fine. Million thanks for some help | 13:18 |
| vila | notwist: ifup br0 ; and they are working again, so it's probably an ordering issue, eth0 should come up before br0 or everything breaks | 13:18 |
| vila | notwist: any idea if there is a way to express that kind of ordering dependency ? (Bah, let's ask google first) | 13:18 |
| notwist | vila: no idea | 13:19 |
| notwist | vila: it might be as simple as "br0 needs a working interface to binds to on startup" | 13:19 |
| GrubTrouble | asdklasfg: find / -name "*httpd*" | 13:19 |
| GrubTrouble | notwist: well, im not too smart | 13:20 |
| notwist | asdklasfg: check out /etc/init.d/apache2 or similar | 13:20 |
| GrubTrouble | to learn | 13:20 |
| notwist | GrubTrouble: you dont need to be smart, you just need patience | 13:20 |
| Peanut | asdklasfg: How are you trying to start it, which command gives 'command not found' ? | 13:20 |
| GrubTrouble | notwist: i disagree, to program u must be very smart, and a very logical brain | 13:20 |
| GrubTrouble | mathematical think | 13:20 |
| notwist | GrubTrouble: saying you have an illogical brain is a self fulfilling prophecy and a defeatist attitude | 13:21 |
| notwist | GrubTrouble: logic isnt magic, anyone can learn it | 13:21 |
| srhb | GrubTrouble: I'm neither particularly mathematically inclined, nor very smart, but I program just fine. It's just practice. | 13:21 |
| GrubTrouble | asdklasfg: apache2 -S | 13:21 |
| GrubTrouble | srhb: notwist well,yesterday i made my first script,only a menu to restore... | 13:22 |
| GrubTrouble | or clone | 13:22 |
| GrubTrouble | but just look at the fucking grub.cfg, its like c or harder, what code is that? | 13:22 |
| Pici | GrubTrouble: Please mind your language here. | 13:23 |
| GrubTrouble | sory | 13:23 |
| srhb | GrubTrouble: Many configuration files follow different syntaxes, but once you've seen some of them, it gets easy to adjust to new ones. | 13:23 |
| GrubTrouble | well, LILO was very easy | 13:23 |
| GrubTrouble | every user could edit it, newbies included | 13:24 |
| srhb | GrubTrouble: LILO was quite a lot simpler than Grub. Complexity comes with a cost. | 13:24 |
| notwist | GrubTrouble: everything is confusing when you dont know it, so thats why you learn it to make it not confusing | 13:24 |
| asdklasfg | Peanut: httpd | 13:25 |
| notwist | GrubTrouble: grub.cfg is a shell script by the way so if you read up on those it will become clear | 13:25 |

| morko | asdklasfg: my ubuntu is running apache2 just fine and there is no process called httpd | 13:27 |
| GrubTrouble | asdklasfg: morko is right | 13:28 |
| Peanut | asdklasfg: you can also do: dpkg -l |grep apache2 - this should give you a number of packages, at least these: apache2, apache2-utils, apache2.2-bin, apache2.2-common | 13:28 |

| paradoxical | now it's apache2 | 13:29 |
| dr_willis | McQueen: look in .config/autorun 9or autostart. and /etc/xdg/autoatart (i think) | 13:29 |
| morko | asdklasfg: i start the apache2 with upstream? | 13:29 |
| morko | asdklasfg: service apache2 start | 13:29 |

| sogeking99 | Hey guys, anyway to sort banshee by track order? Because it has the track numbers listed in the track column, so surely it can do it? | 13:29 |
| asdklasfg | GrubTrouble: that gives back "bad user name {APACHE_RUN_USER}" | 13:29 |
| McQueen | dr_willis, thanks, looking... | 13:29 |
| morko | upstream or upstart whatever | 13:29 |
| notwist | morko asdklasfg both "sevice apache2 start" and "/etc/init.d/apache2 start" should start apache2 if installed | 13:30 |

| fedor | Hi to everyone, I wanted to know if there is a way to install fEcofin in R. However I was trying I couldn't do it. Here and there error messages have been popping up. Help please | 13:42 |
| Eagleman | i made a directory in /var/run/headphones but when i restart the pc the directory does not exist anymore when i start it up aigan | 13:43 |
| aboudreault | escott, the user key. the server blacklist it | 13:43 |
| GrubTrouble | can someone help me to hide a grub entry at boot?, these are my grub.d, tried to remove them exec permissions, tried to comment the grub.cfg with not luck...http://pastebin.com/ua6yfHJD | 13:43 |
| morko | paradoxical: yea obviously he got it running but i dont think ubuntu uses init.d anymore for example starting services at bootup? | 13:43 |
| aboudreault | escott, always... whatever the pair I use | 13:43 |
| escott | aboudreault, so the fingerprint that is blacklisted is changing | 13:43 |
| aboudreault | escott, yes | 13:43 |
| Eagleman | i made a directory in /var/run/headphones but when i restart the pc the directory does not exist anymore any idea what removes it or is everything removed in /var/run up on reboot? | 13:44 |
| morko | paradoxical: might be my bad english, but i understood that he only got it running with init.d script | 13:44 |
| asdklasfg | morko: service command not found, but "/etc/init.d/apache2 start" worked | 13:44 |
| escott | aboudreault, can you manually check your key against the blacklist with ssh-vulnkey and verify it passes | 13:44 |
| paradoxical | morko: hmmm i have no idea to be honest, im still on lts release that is old. but after you install it, it is auto configged to run @ startup so.. | 13:44 |
| asdklasfg | morko: and it also looks like it is still on after reboting | 13:45 |
| morko | asdklasfg: ah ok. nevermind then :) | 13:45 |
| dr_willis | Eagleman: why are you makeing that? yes /run/ is like a special dynamic directory | 13:45 |
| paradoxical | morko: and you have to run it as sudo or it will not work | 13:45 |
| Eagleman | dr_willis becuase the program creates a file in there | 13:46 |
| Eagleman | but it runs as another user than root | 13:46 |
| morko | paradoxical: yea i will leave everyone alone now :) | 13:46 |
| domie | http://imagebin.org/239808 any clues on why those vertical lines appear when switching viewports? they are vertical only when switching viewports horizontally, diagonally they are oblique and vertically the artifacts are different | 13:46 |
| dr_willis | Eagleman: a work around would be to make the directory from rc.local on bootup i guess | 13:47 |
| aboudreault | escott, doesn't look to pass. I genereted it with ssh-keygen -t rsa | 13:47 |
| Eagleman | my other programs like sickbeard also do something in /var/run | 13:47 |
| Eagleman | but their folder wont get deleted | 13:47 |
| escott | aboudreault, do you have enough entropy | 13:47 |
| Eagleman | they run as the same user | 13:47 |
| escott | aboudreault, cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail | 13:48 |
| aboudreault | escott, 169 | 13:48 |
| escott | aboudreault, thats weird. unless you are running the old debian version you shouldn't be consistently generating a vulnerable key | 13:50 |
| aboudreault | escott, will try to generate my key somewhere else. | 13:51 |

| surial | it's a nettop box. | 15:36 |
| llutz | HorizonXP: you might read further into networkmanager, maybe it has that info somewhere | 15:36 |
| surial | The only way I can disconnect it from the motherboard is with a knife. | 15:36 |

| bazhang | chozpe, on debian? | 15:40 |
| chozpe | bazhang: on ubuntu | 15:40 |
| bazhang | chozpe, what version | 15:40 |
| chozpe | 12.10 | 15:40 |
| PsyMar | Hi, I am running Ubuntu 12.10 and I can connect to the internet (as I am now) but only if I sit within about 10 feet of the wireless access point; any advice on what drivers I need to install or how to install them? It's a Belkin router, I don't know what kind of wireless card I have or how to find out. | 15:40 |
| b14d3 | surial: I'm taking a look into a couple of things. | 15:40 |
| surial | b14d3: Thanks! | 15:41 |
| b14d3 | surial: I make no promises, other than that I'll try :P | 15:41 |
| surial | b14d3: Exactly. Thanks :) | 15:41 |
| srhb | PsyMar: You can find your wifi card by running lspci in a terminal. This will give you necessary information to go on. | 15:42 |
| b14d3 | surial: I appear to be a bit limited because I am at work and can only use my Ubuntu machine via ssh :\ So I can't really dig into dconf right now | 15:42 |
| PsyMar | 01:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01) | 15:43 |
| chozpe | bazhang: any idea? | 15:43 |
| surial | :(. in org.gnome.somethingsomething.plugins.power, there are a million-and-one options for power buttons and laptop lids and such. If I turn every single one of those off, the power button no longer does anything, but that accursed suspend button still 'works'. | 15:43 |
| PsyMar | aha, found the driver | 15:43 |
| surial | as in, puts the box into the kind of state where the end user is going to freak out. | 15:43 |
| llutz | HorizonXP: SSID=$(iwgetid -r) no grep/sed/awk at all | 15:43 |
| bazhang | chozpe, you want mono 3.0 complete? | 15:43 |
| chozpe | bazhang: i've just uninstalled mono2.10, and i'm trying to install mono 3.0 | 15:43 |
| b14d3 | surial: How many users will you have? | 15:43 |
| bazhang | chozpe, let me check the forums, just a moment | 15:44 |
| surial | b14d3: If this works out, we'll be rolling this box out at 10 to 30 workstations. | 15:44 |
| b14d3 | surial: I can't find anything of particular use, especially given my near complete lack of knowledge of nettop boxes, you may have to do it the old fashioned way and tell them not to press the button :P | 15:45 |
| b14d3 | surial: Or keep looking. I just can't find anything, myself. | 15:46 |
| chozpe | bazhang: thanks | 15:46 |
| ziko | any idea what is the best mysql client with GUI version ? | 15:46 |
| chozpe | bazhang: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a takes a while to complete (and isn't complete yet); can the problem come from there? | 15:47 |
| srhb | PsyMar: There are some notes on the arch forums on problems like that, have you tried doing a quick google now that you have the model number? | 15:48 |
| PsyMar | srhb: ah, good idea, thanks | 15:48 |
| bazhang | chozpe, is this something distinct from monodevelop? version 3.0 is in the 12.10 repos | 15:48 |
| srhb | PsyMar: Write agian if you have no success or have trouble deciphering it | 15:48 |
| chozpe | it is? | 15:49 |

| bazhang | awn-applet-file-browser-launcher Zabrien for awn? | 15:50 |
| bazhang | chozpe, ok, what did you need the mono 3.0 preview for then? if that repo is not working, I' d consider contacting the maintainer at his location | 15:51 |
| Zabrien | bazhang: what is awn? | 15:52 |
| chozpe | bazhang: mono is used to run .net apps on linux; i need it to run Boogie (microsoft) | 15:52 |
| bazhang | Zabrien, avant-window-navigator | 15:52 |
| morsnowski | does anyone know a good app for voice control? | 15:52 |
| bazhang | Zabrien, if it's gnome-shell you are using, then you could check out the gnome extensions site to see if they have something similar | 15:54 |
| Zabrien | bazhang: I am. Can files be bookmarked? | 15:54 |
| surial | b14d3: Well, thanks for looking. Kind of a shame to tell users: This here is the self-destruct button. Please refrain from pushing it, or you'll have to call us to come pick up the pieces. | 15:55 |
| surial | I think I will go grab that pair of scissors, actually. It boots in about 8 seconds, not much point to that button. | 15:55 |
| chozpe | bazhang: i'm going to build it from source it's ok | 15:55 |

| PsyMar | lemme check if it's working yet | 15:59 |

| PsyMar | really? it seems to be working with the msmac | 16:01 |
| srhb | PsyMar: Oh well, then keep that. :P | 16:01 |
| PsyMar | brcmfmac isn't listed on the switching between drivers page, either | 16:02 |
| srhb | PsyMar: Those are just examples I believe | 16:02 |
| sgtkilljoy | i recall having problems with Broadcom drivers on an old LT...... in the end i gave up and used ndiswrapper | 16:02 |
| PsyMar | ok, I just looked at the drivers list, brcmfmac does not list the 4313 | 16:03 |
| PsyMar | and brcmsmac does | 16:03 |
| srhb | PsyMar: Sorry, I misremembered yours as 4330 | 16:03 |
| srhb | PsyMar: Then you're on the right one | 16:04 |
| PsyMar | ok, yay | 16:04 |
| PsyMar | it's now working from the sofa, I'll see if it works down stairs once I get feeling back in my leg | 16:04 |
| srhb | PsyMar: Remember to do the blacklisting once you have it working. | 16:05 |
| milton | hmm ok I changed the firefox config to disable the crash reporting instead.. | 16:06 |

| escott | nashant, what i would do is follow the chroot instructions to get into the installed system on /dev/sda### and make sure grub-efi is not installed | 16:49 |
| escott | nashant, a number of efi systems will boot usb sticks in efi mode and disks in bios so that can confuse the installer | 16:50 |
| sterns | Ubuntu sos here, need to do some video work tonight, copying mp4 to DVD is it still that dveedee program | 16:51 |
| rollitup | escott: yes one is home andone is / | 16:51 |
| escott | rollitup, do you know which is which? | 16:51 |
| escott | nashant, are you familiar with chroot process? | 16:52 |
| rollitup | escott yes i have figured it out | 16:53 |
| nashant | escott: Not really, but I can google :) | 16:53 |
| escott | nashant, you can follow along with rollitup | 16:53 |
| escott | rollitup, which one is the / (i dont care about the /home) | 16:53 |
| Oracle989 | I'm trying to install Cura, and it keeps telling me I need to install PyOpenGL. | 16:53 |
| Oracle989 | Thing is...I have. | 16:53 |
| Oracle989 | How can I get it to understand this fact? | 16:53 |
| vitimiti | o/ | 16:54 |
| Pici | Oracle989: Are you trying to compile cura? | 16:54 |
| nashant | escott: I've worked out why it installed grub-efi. Because I was selecting UEFI boot instead of USB in the boot menu | 16:54 |
| escott | nashant, yeah... lots of efi systems like to do that. really confuses the installer | 16:54 |
| Oracle989 | Unless I terribly misread things, it looks like all I have to do is run cura.sh. Is this my first mistake? | 16:54 |
| === sterns is now known as sternslo | ||
| escott | nashant, so the installer saw that and installed grub-efi probably to /dev/sdd because that was the only gpt disk and now you have this crazy cross-disk boot that isn't working | 16:55 |
| Oracle989 | Excuse my ignorance, I haven't done terribly much with Linux so it's kind of foreign to me. | 16:56 |
| nashant | I can't blame it really, it's confusing the hell out of me | 16:56 |
| srhb | Oracle989: By which method did you install PyOpenGL? | 16:56 |
| nashant | escott: my problem is that whenever I try and run the live usb outside of efi mode it just hangs | 16:56 |
| rollitup | escott: / is sda5 | 16:57 |
| escott | nashant, so don't just boot the livecd. chroot into the installed system. remove grub-efi, install grub | 16:57 |
| Oracle989 | Google informed me that if I put "sudo apt-get install libssl0.9.8 pypy python-opengl python-wxgtk2.8 python-wxversion" into the command line, then I should be able to run Cura. | 16:57 |
| Oracle989 | So that's what I did. | 16:57 |
| escott | rollitup, have you mounted sda5 anyways. check "mount | grep sda5" | 16:57 |
| rollitup | escott: this is what i got /dev/sda5 on /media/895de441-4531-4d76-9e20-59185095e188 type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks) /dev/sda5 on /media/sda5 type ext4 (rw) | 16:58 |
| escott | rollitup, so that path is going to be a pain. "sudo umount /media/895[TAB]" | 16:59 |
| escott | rollitup, then "sudo -i" (we will be using sudo a lot and this way we get a terminal where we dont have to type sudo all the time, but it is for only this one terminal) | 16:59 |
| Pici | Oracle989: Did you try running cura from the script inside the scripts/linux directory? | 17:00 |
| escott | rollitup, with the terminal you did sudo -i: mkdir /ubuntu; mount /dev/sda5 /ubuntu; | 17:00 |
| nashant | escott: where were the chroot instructions you gave? | 17:00 |
| Pici | Oracle989: And/or did you install it with setup.py? | 17:00 |
| escott | nashant, rather don't try to boot the livecd in bios, just boot it in efi | 17:00 |
| Oracle989 | I tried to run setup.py, but nothing seemed to happen. I'll go have a look in the linux directory. | 17:01 |
| escott | !chroot | nashant im also walking rollitup through the process we just started if you want to follow us | 17:01 |
| ubottu | nashant im also walking rollitup through the process we just started if you want to follow us: A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot | 17:01 |
| escott | rollitup, at this point if you "ls /ubuntu" you should see a similar set of folders as if you "ls /" thinks like /bin and /usr and /lib etc | 17:01 |
| bjrohan | Anyone with java experience help me out? I have a web app, that runs okay on one website, and doesn't run on another (same app), it says Java is not detected. When this happened last time it had to do with whose Java I had installed. I think I have everything installed, by that I mean Oracle, and icedtea | 17:01 |
| rollitup | escott: when umount i get this umount: /media/895de441-4531-4d76-9e20-59185095e188: device is busy. | 17:02 |
| escott | rollitup, you have a window open inside that or a terminal maybe | 17:02 |
| escott | rollitup, or maybe you bind mounted /dev to /media/895...../dev | 17:03 |
| nashant | escott: right, I've got sda8 mounted as /media/ubuntu and sda7 as /media/ubuntu/boot | 17:03 |
| Oracle989 | Or...not. Sorry for knowing dick-all about this. Where should I be looking? | 17:03 |
| escott | nashant, bind mind /dev, /proc, /sys to /media/ubuntu/(dev|proc|sys) with sudo mount --bind /dev /media/ubuntu/dev | 17:03 |
| escott | nashant, then copy /etc/resolv.conf /media/ubuntu/etc | 17:04 |
| opalepatrick | what do I use as an alternative to devilspie with unity? | 17:04 |
| rollitup | escott: i closed the file explorer window for that partition already | 17:04 |
| nashant | escott done | 17:05 |
| escott | rollitup, it may be easier to have you reboot. i dont know what commands you have run already so figuring out what you have that is using that device is harder | 17:05 |
| rollitup | escott: it says umount: /media/895de441-4531-4d76-9e20-59185095e188: device is busy. (In some cases useful info about processes that use the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1)) | 17:05 |
| Oracle989 | Pici, where is it I should be looking? | 17:05 |
| escott | nashant, sudo chroot /media/ubuntu; apt-get update; apt-get remove grub-efi; apt-get install grub; | 17:06 |
| === dpac|away is now known as dpac | ||
| vitimiti | bye | 17:07 |
| escott | rollitup, im saying it may take 20min to explain how you can read lsof output to figure it out. you could probably reboot in half that time | 17:07 |
| rollitup | ok escott as you say and after rebooting do i repeat the steps u listed above in the chat ? | 17:07 |
| escott | rollitup, once you reboot just come back into channel. now that we know the disk its going to take only a minute or so | 17:08 |
| rollitup | ok | 17:08 |
| mizifih | Hi there! Is there a way, using the terminal, to check IPs connected to my computer and how fast these connections/requests are? | 17:08 |
| nashant | escott: all done. Is grub fully set up, or do I need to tell it where to boot from? | 17:08 |
| escott | rollitup, just don't open anything except a terminal and the chat window | 17:08 |
| escott | nashant, do a grub-install /dev/sda in your chroot'ed terminal | 17:08 |
| rollitup | ok brb escott | 17:08 |
| escott | nashant, the only other recommendation would be to destroy the partition table on /dev/sdd | 17:09 |
| MonkeyDust | mizifih lsof comes to my mind, but i'm not sure with what option | 17:09 |
| bim-bim | hay | 17:09 |
| escott | mizifih, fast? | 17:10 |
| escott | nashant, which you could do with parted. create a new msdos (AKA bios/mbr) partition table on that disk | 17:10 |
| === dniMretsaM_away is now known as dniMretsaM | ||
| nashant | escott: I take it it was too early to reboot at that point | 17:11 |
| escott | nashant, if you remove sdd from the boot order it should be ok | 17:11 |
| opalepatrick | any idea what to use for pinning stuff to alternative workspaces instead of devilspie which does not appear to work? | 17:11 |
| escott | nashant, but the efi system may seek out the gpt disk and give it priority in the boot over sda | 17:11 |
| nashant | escott: right. It just puts me into a grub prompt | 17:12 |
| escott | nashant, right but i dont know if that is grub on sda or grub on sdd | 17:13 |
| rollitup | escott: back again | 17:13 |
| escott | rollitup, ok. open a terminal. "sudo -i" and this will be the only terminal we use | 17:13 |
| nashant | escott: well it's a different prompt from before. And I removed sdd from the boot order | 17:13 |
| Zabrien | do extensions not work if I use gnome classic? | 17:13 |
| escott | rollitup, silence is success so if a command doesn't output anything thats good. | 17:14 |
| rollitup | ok escott | 17:14 |
| rollitup | did sudo -i | 17:14 |
| escott | rollitup, mkdir /ubuntu; mount /dev/sda5 /ubuntu; mount --bind /dev /ubuntu/dev; mount --bind /sys /ubuntu/sys; mount --bind /proc /ubuntu/proc; | 17:14 |
| escott | rollitup, each ";" indicates a break between different commands | 17:15 |
| escott | nashant, ok. what does "ls" output in the grub prompt | 17:15 |
| nashant | escott: ah, Just gone back into the chroot. Hold on a sec | 17:16 |
| nashant | or can I do anything from here? | 17:16 |
| escott | nashant, not sure why grub isn't booting so hard to say | 17:16 |
| nashant | escott: unrecognised command | 17:17 |
| escott | nashant, in the chroot you can verify that grub is installed, and that /boot looks ok. you could also run something like the boot-info script | 17:17 |
| escott | nashant, what command is unrecognised? | 17:18 |
| nashant | ls, from the grub prompt | 17:18 |
| escott | nashant, are you sure it is a grub prompt? | 17:18 |
| rollitup | escott: i am done with the above mount --bind command | 17:18 |
| nashant | escott: grub> _ | 17:18 |
| escott | rollitup, and no messages or errors | 17:18 |
| escott | rollitup, chroot /ubuntu | 17:19 |
| rollitup | yes all silence | 17:19 |
| escott | rollitup, at this point you would be inside the installed system and any commands are going to affect the installed system | 17:19 |
| escott | rollitup, i believe you want to run "grub-install /dev/sda" | 17:19 |
| dave101010 | hi all | 17:20 |
| escott | rollitup, which will reinstall grub to the mbr and set it up to look at /dev/sda5 during the boot | 17:20 |
| rollitup | escott: whatever that can get me to boot inside the Ubuntu install | 17:20 |
| rollitup | also i hope i get the option to login to win7 too | 17:20 |
| rollitup | so should i run grub-install /dev/sda ? | 17:20 |

| escott | nashant, edit /etc/default/grub (inside the chroot) and rerun update-grub | 17:51 |
| escott | rollitup, the only thing that looks weird in the bootinfoscript is the presence of the file /boot/grub/core.img on sda7 | 17:52 |
| escott | rollitup, presumably you chrooted into the wrong driver or something. otherwise it looks ok | 17:53 |
| rollitup | is there anything else that can be done , I am exhausted and the only last resort left would be to reformat , reinstall everything and begin from scratch | 17:54 |
| nashant | escott: I've run that, but that hasn't helped me add nomodeset to the boot options. Got a display problem | 17:54 |
| escott | nashant, does grep nomodeset /boot/grub/grub.cfg not show the option | 17:55 |
| escott | rollitup, so this happened after an update of some kind? | 17:55 |
| rollitup | yes | 17:56 |
| rollitup | the update also never completely happened | 17:56 |
| escott | rollitup, ohhh | 17:56 |
| escott | rollitup, what are the last 100 lines of /var/log/dpkg.log | 17:56 |
| rollitup | and then i had to reboot the computer and after that i am unable to get the boot screen just this error | 17:56 |
| escott | rollitup, tail -n 100 /ubuntu/var/log (or wherever you mount the sda5 disk) | 17:56 |

| qwebirc3065 | Hello. i have a question | 17:57 |
| daevski | Hi qwebirc3065, just ask it :) | 17:57 |
| escott | daevski, if you read the thing you pasted you'll note it says not to use fdisk | 17:57 |
| daevski | escott, I've used gdisk and testdisk also. I need a hand-holder, if one is free. | 17:57 |
| rusfus_ | can someone give me a hand, practically since I restored gnome, following the problems of nautilus when i run the system on time I open the home, mozilla, irc chat global, terminal, and notes. how can I do to get them to open? | 17:58 |
| qwebirc3065 | I extracted the ubuntu 12.10.iso file to my D local drive and ran the wubi.exe file. i can try ubuntu when the pc starts but when i want to install it it says internal error | 17:58 |
| qwebirc3065 | i cannot switch back to windows either as ubuntu takes over when the pc starts | 17:58 |
| escott | daevski, lets start by following the instructions of the commands you have already run and use "sudo parted -l" | 17:58 |
| qwebirc3065 | what should i do | 17:58 |
| nashant | escott: yes, it did. nomodeset hasn't helped though. It teases me with a purple screen, but then my display just goes to 'no signal'. using an Nvidia GT520 | 17:58 |
| escott | nashant, does that mean you are booting now though? | 17:59 |
| dr_willis | qwebirc3065: you dont need to ectract the iso | 17:59 |
| qwebirc3065 | dr_willis: i used to universal usb thing | 17:59 |
| qwebirc3065 | the problem is basically that ubuntu won@t install | 17:59 |
| nashant | escott: well I assume it's booting, but I just can't see anything. | 17:59 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| escott | nashant, if you see the purple screen that is booting. so good one problem solved | 17:59 |
| dr_willis | qwebirc3065: you can download the wuni.exe and the iso. no need for the universalinstall thing | 18:00 |
| escott | nashant, if nomodeset is appearing in grub.cfg then nomodeset is set | 18:00 |
| dr_willis | qwebirc3065: i suggest not using wuni | 18:00 |
| dr_willis | wubi | 18:00 |
| nashant | escott: That's what I thought. Just the display issue to go. | 18:01 |
| * MonkeyDust red alert wubi | 18:01 | |
| IdleOne | qwebirc3065: When you boot the computer do you see the GRUB menu where you can select either Ubuntu or windows? | 18:01 |
| nashant | escott: it was set for recovry mode. I added it in to normal boot, but no cigar | 18:01 |
| daevski | escott, I found a bug in GNU Parted. lol :: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1448081/ | 18:01 |
| escott | nashant, i dont really know much about nvidia, its not something i choose to waste my time on. it could be an optimus issue i dont really know | 18:02 |
| escott | daevski, looks more like the disk is toast | 18:02 |
| mizifih | escott just want to know the instant speed getting in and out from a given IP | 18:02 |
| mizifih | escott not local IP, the remote IP connected to my machine | 18:03 |
| daevski | escott, sdb is? Can I test the others? | 18:03 |
| TomyLobo | mizifih try iftop | 18:03 |
| escott | mizifih, ifconfig will tell you the bandwidth of your connection. if you want to know the bandwidth to another ip you need to try and send a big file and time it | 18:03 |
| escott | daevski, you can sudo parted -l /dev/sdX for each device | 18:04 |
| daevski | escott, makes sense, thanks. | 18:04 |

| mizifih | escott iftop, suggested by TomyLobo looks simplier, LOL. Thank you though ;) | 18:05 |
| escott | rollitup, nothing in that should cause problems booting | 18:05 |
| rollitup | strange | 18:06 |
| mizifih | TomyLobo can I isolate only one host with iftop? | 18:06 |
| escott | rollitup, if that upgrade was failing you could chroot in again | 18:06 |
| TomyLobo | mizifih i guess. i never tried | 18:06 |
| escott | rollitup, and then run "apt-get -f install" to try and complete/fixup the upgrades | 18:07 |
| TomyLobo | it shows stats by connection | 18:07 |
| libpenguin | how to change or renew ip of system and router ? | 18:07 |
| rollitup | i had begun using Ubuntu since past 3 months | 18:07 |
| IdleOne | libpenguin: reboot the router, turn it off or unplug it for 5 minutes then turn it back on. | 18:07 |
| rollitup | and most of the updates i did were through the terminal but this was one grave mistake by hitting the software update via the GUI that keeps popping now and then | 18:07 |
| rollitup | damn | 18:07 |
| libpenguin | IdleOne: thnx | 18:08 |
| escott | rollitup, its all the same. shouldn't matter, but the packages that were updated are rather tame. looks like firefox and some language packs | 18:08 |

| === norbi is now known as Guest29783 | ||
| escott | rollitup, grep 2012-08-17 /var/log/dpkg.log | pastebinit | 18:10 |
| IdleOne | libpenguin: download ttf-mscorefonts-installer from packages.ubuntu.com and then you can sudo dpkg -i *.deb from the machine with no internet | 18:10 |
| escott | IdleOne, i think it downloads the fonts from MSFT online | 18:10 |
| libpenguin | IdleOne: that asks for downloading packages and internet connection | 18:10 |
| escott | libpenguin, i believe you can just grab the *.exe's from MSFT's website and store them in the right place | 18:11 |
| libpenguin | escott: yea you are right | 18:11 |
| IdleOne | escott: hmm, if that is the case I have no idea how to do it. | 18:11 |
| libpenguin | escott: i already have them but how to install exe files on linux ? | 18:11 |
| dr_willis | get the fonts from a windows install... ;-) | 18:11 |
| nashant | Does anyone have any experience with making Nvidia cards working on a fresh install? My display just goes blank when trying to boot | 18:11 |
| IdleOne | escott: could he install it from a live cd and then copy the appropriate folders? | 18:11 |
| MonkeyDust | libpenguin you need WINE to run .exe files | 18:12 |
| dr_willis | put them in therightfontsdir. | 18:12 |
| libpenguin | dr_willis: problem is not getting the fonts but how to install them ? | 18:12 |
| escott | libpenguin, (a) those aren't really exe's they are self-extracting zips. you unzip them (b) if you look at the deb it should download them somewhere like /tmp and then unpack them. you might be able to fool the deb by putting the exe in temp | 18:12 |
| dr_willis | libpenguin: put them in. f .fonts is one way | 18:12 |
| libpenguin | MonkeyDust: but when installed through ubuntu-restricted-extra, it doesn't asks for wine | 18:12 |
| arosen | If i want to download some debiain packages directly should I be able to find them in here somewhere? http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal/ | 18:12 |
| daevski | escott, would there be any way to moun this drive? It's USB external that fails to mount when plugged in. :: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1448121/ | 18:12 |
| rollitup | i have no pastebinit installed since i am using the live stick | 18:13 |
| libpenguin | escott: ohh ok...i will try that but still the same problem anyway to automate like only doing dpkg and the rest is done by itself ? | 18:13 |
| escott | daevski, i've never seen anything like that. why do you have a gpt table inside the mapper device? | 18:14 |
| luskbo | irc | 18:14 |
| libpenguin | ???? | 18:14 |
| escott | libpenguin, depends on how much you want to go digging into the dpkg. you could just unzip the exe's and dumpt the *.ttf's into ~/.fonts | 18:15 |
| daevski | escott, no idea. But I might have lied, that could be the raid (2 sd drives) I'm trying to back up. | 18:15 |
| daevski | escott, it ended up at the end of the parted -l list | 18:15 |
| nashant | escott: I thought it was booting, but I've installed openssh-server in the chroot, then rebooted, but I can't connect after waiting 5 mins | 18:15 |
| escott | daevski, do you have fake raid somewhere | 18:15 |
| libpenguin | escott: hmm...well its easier, a script can be made to do so...or not ? | 18:16 |
| rollitup | escott: why the date range 2012-08-17 ? | 18:16 |
| escott | libpenguin, presumably that dpkg is just a script to download the exe, unzip it, and dump the ttf file in /usr/share/fonts with an appropriate license display to the user. you could write your own script to do all that but using the files you downloaded | 18:17 |
| daevski | escott, The raid is made in bios, but I know nothing else. Just booted ubuntu to backup the files. After starting the 'install ubuntu' from live environment, it mounted the raid drives for me. I'm thankful, but not I need ANY other drive to back them up to. (New mobo will break the raid) | 18:17 |
| escott | rollitup, i just want to see yesterdays updates. the ones that caused the problems | 18:17 |
| daevski | escott, now* I need | 18:17 |
| escott | daevski, thats called fakeraid | 18:17 |
| daevski | escott, noted. thank you. | 18:17 |
| escott | daevski, and things like "new board will break the raid" is why it is such junk | 18:18 |
| daevski | escott, yup, lesson learned.... | 18:18 |
| libpenguin | escott: umm ok....also how to know any packages dependencies before doing dpkg or installing through apt-get ? any list or other way or method ? | 18:18 |
| escott | daevski, in any case mapper seems to have figured it out. the device is /dev/mapper/pdc_blahblah | 18:18 |

| nashant | dr_willis: to get the live usb to work I added 'nomodeset' to the grub options. Would adding this to 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT' in /etc/default/grub do the same? | 19:02 |
| mithran | bekks: i can't find any useful commands....... i don't understand what it is saying | 19:03 |
| rollitup | escott: is the command to bind /dev $sudo mount --bind /dev /media/dev ? | 19:04 |
| bekks | mithran: Then try to explain what's unclear at the explanation right before the second command in the section "Mounting" please. | 19:05 |

| mithran | bekks: my filesystem is already mounted but i cant find the other partitions in my system | 19:09 |
| Guest4501 | Harmy, need help? | 19:09 |
| rollitup | escott: it says mount': mount point /media/sda5/dev does not exist | 19:09 |
| bekks | mithran: That has nothing to do with the explanation right before the second command in the section named above. | 19:10 |
| bekks | mithran: So please explain what you dont understand in that section, for enabling us to actually help you. | 19:11 |
| mithran | bekks: ok then what shall i do . can you please healp me? | 19:11 |
| escott | rollitup, i need to try and get some work done. /dev/sda5 is the device, when you mount it "mount /dev/sda5 /some/mountpoint" it attaches the filesystem inside the disk to that mountpoint. what you need to do next in the chroot is attach the existing /dev filesystem to the dev directory inside the mountpoint where your mounted /dev/sda5. so its "mount /dev/sda5 /someplace; mount --bind /dev /someplace/dev" | 19:11 |
| bekks | mithran: Then try to explain what's unclear at the explanation right before the second command in the section "Mounting" please. | 19:11 |

| nashant | dr_willis: would leaving the 'nomodeset' option in with the proprietary drivers installed cause it to hang while booting? | 19:46 |
| Dark_Prince | daftykins "chmod: cannot access `766': No such file or directory " | 19:46 |

| fantasma | "choose your flavour" | 19:49 |
| nashant | dr_willis: nomodeset added again and it's working. Any disadvantages in using it? | 19:51 |
| bekks | Dark_Prince: You dont have permissions to delete/modify those files as "DP". | 19:51 |

| TomyLobo | what can i say? gtk sucks visually :P | 20:25 |
| poq | theadmin: how can I do that? | 20:25 |
| TomyLobo | until now i thought it wasn't that bad on linux though | 20:25 |
| Necrosporus | wachpwnski, run it in background? | 20:25 |
| theadmin | wachpwnski: Eh, echo "exec python /path/to/program" | sudo tee /etc/init/myservice.conf | 20:25 |
| Dark_Prince | theadmin: Ok done that, now if I understand this I need to remove root from the group ftp. | 20:25 |
| Dark_Prince | How do I do that? | 20:25 |
| Necrosporus | theadmin, it will rewrite whole file | 20:25 |
| wachpwnski | Necrosporus: I want to run my program like this: sudo service my-program start | 20:26 |
| theadmin | Dark_Prince: sudo gpasswd -d root ftp | 20:26 |
| Necrosporus | maybe you need append option for tee? | 20:26 |
| theadmin | Necrosporus: Right, but there normally is no sane daemon called "myservice" | 20:26 |

| Guest26863 | i'm not really a gamer - just found minecraft and gave it a try and liked it. it took me forever to get it working on my platform and once i did this happened. i read that it would run on old machines, so i naturaly thought it would work on my relatively new one. | 21:15 |
| theadmin | Evil_Eric: Well, it used to be right-click anywhere and "Create Launcher" but I'm not sure if that's still around | 21:15 |
| Evil_Eric | its not | 21:15 |

| Evil_Eric | thank you theadmin | 21:16 |
| theadmin | GeorgeTorwell: Yes, every app submitted to the software center is reviewed. | 21:16 |
| GeorgeTorwell | Cool/ | 21:16 |

| BrainFree | How to add a foreign repository on terminal? | 21:16 |
| dcope | any ideas? | 21:16 |
| TomyLobo | even the binary only packages? | 21:16 |
| theadmin | GeorgeTorwell: Well... Some of the apps in the Software Center are closed source, though (Flash), then they only review the functionality | 21:17 |
| theadmin | TomyLobo: ^ | 21:17 |
| GeorgeTorwell | well flash isn't likely to be a problem | 21:17 |
| GeorgeTorwell | but I get suspicious when installing a random app and the software center asks for my root password | 21:17 |
| theadmin | GeorgeTorwell: That's necessary to install any app | 21:17 |
| MockingBird | GeorgeTorwell: it will always ask you for that | 21:17 |

| islandmonkey | Hello people, Ubuntu isn't wanting to load today. All my computer does is load up the grub menu automatically (which it shouldn't), load Ubuntu with a black screen (with the flickering white thing you see in consoles), accelarates the fan and then shuts down. Help? | 21:18 |
| TomyLobo | it needs root rights to install the app. otherwise it cannot write to the target folders | 21:18 |
| MockingBird | GeorgeTorwell: it stops malicious apps from installing in the background. | 21:18 |

| ikonia | theg: why have you installed that ppa | 21:19 |
| bekks | *no clue even. | 21:19 |
| BrainFree | Ppa codes is not works on ubuntu 10.04 lucid | 21:19 |
| ikonia | theg: look at the amount of bad dependencies | 21:19 |
| MockingBird | BrainFree: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:... | 21:19 |
| bekks | BrainFree: The do work, but you dont have Ubuntu as you stated before. | 21:19 |
| wizards | hey what windows manager is the least resource intensive that is good with ubuntu | 21:19 |
| MonkeyDust | wizards try jwm | 21:20 |
| BrainFree | bekks, I using ubuntu with BackTrack, My engliish is too weak to make a professional conversation on this place.. | 21:20 |
| theadmin | wizards: openbox, i3, awesome, xmonad... | 21:20 |
| ikonia | BrainFree: ubuntu and back track are two seperate OS's | 21:20 |
| Pici | BrainFree: We do not support backtrack in this channel. You will need to use #backtrack-linux for that | 21:20 |
| theg | ikonia - it said to on the website, I've tried without it and that didn't work either | 21:20 |
| bekks | BrainFree: You are using backtrack, not Ubuntu then. | 21:20 |
| ikonia | BrainFree: you don't use "ubuntu with backtrack" | 21:20 |
| ikonia | theg: what website ? | 21:20 |
| MockingBird | Pici: I think BT5 is based on Ubuntu | 21:20 |
| ikonia | theg: wine is in the default ubuntu repos and works fine | 21:21 |
| BrainFree | I installed Ubuntu 12.10 and I installed BT5 | 21:21 |
| ikonia | MockingBird: but it's different from ubuntu | 21:21 |
| Pici | MockingBird: It has its own support channel. We do not support it here. | 21:21 |
| BrainFree | I explain that | 21:21 |
| wizards | theadmin: recommend any of those in particular? vs lxde? | 21:21 |
| BrainFree | I'm choose a system on grub | 21:21 |
| theadmin | MockingBird: It's "based" on it, it's not the same thing though. The officially supported distributions are: Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Edubuntu, Ubuntu Server, Ubuntu Studio | 21:21 |
| theg | ikonia - it won't install for me from the default repos either though | 21:21 |
| theadmin | wizards: lxde is not a window manager... | 21:21 |
| theadmin | wizards: lxde uses openbox | 21:21 |
| MockingBird | theadmin: I know. | 21:21 |
| BrainFree | In BT5, its(minimal ubuntu 10.04 based) | 21:21 |
| ikonia | theg: what was the problem with the default repo install ? | 21:22 |
| guntbert | BrainFree: stop talking about backtrack please | 21:22 |
| dr_willis | BT does a lot of changes to ubuntu. weve had this conversation in here befor. and the bottom line.. see BT support channels. | 21:22 |

| theg | How do I disable all PPAs? | 21:24 |
| MockingBird | Goto to software centre | 21:24 |
| ikonia | he's not in #backtrack-linux so joined the wrong channel | 21:25 |
| MockingBird | then software sources | 21:25 |
| dr_willis | ikonia: ;) | 21:25 |
| theg | Yeah, but how do I disable all PPAs from terminal? | 21:25 |
| MonkeyDust | !ppa-purge | theg | 21:25 |
| ubottu | theg: 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 | 21:25 |
| ikonia | theg: why are you using PPA's ? | 21:25 |

| nashant | dr_willis: it seems like something is changing grub every time I boot into the installed env. I get purple screen hang every time. Then I boot to live, chroot to installed, update-grub, and it works again | 21:27 |
| ikonia | delinquentme: ls -R | grep or find . -name '*frac*' -print | 21:28 |
| Pici | delinquentme: use -iname if you want a case-insensitive search | 21:28 |

| ikonia | Pici: even better | 21:28 |
| dr_willis | nashant: you got more then 1 hd? could be its booting the wrong one. | 21:28 |
| theadmin | wizards: awesome I guess, it has full multihead support | 21:28 |
| ikonia | theg: so wine is in the normal repos, DVD driver thing ?? ?what ? and "some game thing" | 21:28 |
| wizards | theadmin: thanks a lot man, i will check it out and pray for a new computer | 21:28 |

| theg | ikonia - I googled the problems, and the solutions involved adding new repositories to be able to install the software which fixes it | 21:29 |
| islandmonkey | Hello people, Ubuntu isn't wanting to load today. All my computer does is load up the grub menu automatically (which it shouldn't), load Ubuntu with a black screen (with the flickering white thing you see in consoles), accelarates the fan and then shuts down. Help? | 21:30 |
| islandmonkey | BTW, I have to wait >1min for anything to happen | 21:30 |
| ikonia | theg: I'm sorry that makes no sense | 21:30 |
| theadmin | ikonia: winehq.org tells people to use the PPA on Ubuntu. Their fault there. | 21:30 |
| ikonia | theadmin: really ? | 21:30 |
| theadmin | ikonia: Yeah | 21:30 |
| theg | theadmin - but they told me to come here | 21:30 |
| ikonia | how disappointing | 21:30 |
| ikonia | theg: so they told you to install their PPA, it didn't work and they told you to come here ? | 21:31 |
| theadmin | ikonia: I mean the website, not the people | 21:31 |
| theadmin | lol | 21:31 |
| * MockingBird laughs | 21:31 | |
| guntbert | Guest26863: summarizing what other had to say about your problem: don't expect performance with minecraft on 1.2GHz and 1GB RAM | 21:31 |
| nashant | dr_willis: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1448567/ results from bootinfoscript | 21:31 |
| theg | ikonia - No, I followed their thing on the website involving their PPA, it didn't work, so I posted on the forum, an admin disapproved the post and emailed me saying to come here | 21:32 |
| ikonia | theg: #winehq is the official wine PPA channel | 21:32 |
| ikonia | theg: they should be able to help you with problems with their PPA | 21:32 |
| theg | Anywho disabling all PPAs hasn't fixed it. | 21:32 |
| ikonia | I suspect it won't if you've got PPA software already installed | 21:33 |
| nashant | dr_willis: and output from parted -l http://paste.ubuntu.com/1448575/ | 21:33 |
| ikonia | disabling a PPA doesn't remove what's been done | 21:33 |
| theadmin | ikonia: ppa-purge does that (downgrade to official repo versions after removing the ppa) | 21:33 |
| Guest26863 | guntber: thank you for your response | 21:33 |
| ikonia | theadmin: doesn't always work | 21:33 |
| theadmin | True enough | 21:33 |
| Guest26863 | i guess, i should then give up on trying to run minecraft? | 21:35 |
| theg | Sorry, my laptop battery ran out | 21:35 |
| theg | Guest - try using optifine | 21:35 |
| dr_willis | minecraft is worth giving up. ;) | 21:36 |
| Guest26863 | what is optifine? | 21:36 |
| kostkon | Guest26863, runs ok on hp mini 210 with intel gma 3150 | 21:37 |
| theg | Optifine is a mod for minecraft which improves performance. | 21:37 |

| WXZ1 | how do I get seperate workspaces on each monitor in a multi monitor setup? | 21:38 |
| ikonia | WXZ1: I don't think that's possible | 21:39 |
| Guest26863 | thank you guys | 21:39 |
| theg | Also I recommend you use Sun Java | 21:39 |
| ikonia | WXZ1: you could run two seperate X servers | 21:39 |
| WXZ1 | but it must be | 21:39 |
| ActionParsnip | theg: sun don't own java :) | 21:39 |
| ikonia | WXZ1: why must it be ? | 21:39 |
| dr_willis | WXZ1: its not possible with Unity, You can fullscreen an app and put it on the other monitors and set it 'on all desktops/monitors' if you want | 21:39 |
| WXZ1 | because it's so useful | 21:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest26863: there is a PPA for Oracle Java, may help install it | 21:39 |
| theg | I know, but it jsut runs so much better than OpenJDK, esp. for Minecraft | 21:39 |
| theg | *just | 21:40 |
| ikonia | WXZ1: that doesn't mean it's possible | 21:40 |
| wachpwnski | How can you auto mount things that are plugged into a defined usb port? | 21:40 |
| WXZ1 | dr_willis: I don't need to use unity | 21:40 |
| dr_willis | WXZ1: I think some other window managers may have the feature. but I dont recall what ones | 21:40 |
| WXZ1 | dr_willis: yeah, I heard something about xnomad having it | 21:40 |
| dr_willis | WXZ1: perhaps Awsome | 21:40 |
| usr13 | wachpwnski: fstab entries | 21:40 |
| WXZ1 | dr_willis: but I can't find any details on the internet | 21:40 |
| wachpwnski | usr13: can you give me an example? | 21:40 |
| dr_willis | WXZ1: no idea. Try their irc channels | 21:40 |
| WXZ1 | dr_willis: awesome and nomad hav e irc channels? | 21:41 |
| g0th | hi | 21:41 |
| dr_willis | WXZ1: no idea. I imagine so | 21:41 |
| g0th | when I upgraded ubuntu tex-common become broken | 21:41 |
| g0th | is this a known issue? | 21:41 |
| ikonia | g0th: is there a bug logged | 21:41 |
| g0th | can I somehow remove and reinstall it? | 21:41 |
| ikonia | g0th: you can remove it if there are no depenency problems | 21:42 |
| g0th | I guess dpkg --force-... is not a good idea? | 21:42 |
| ikonia | no | 21:42 |
| g0th | too many dependencies | 21:42 |
| ikonia | use the package manager | 21:42 |
| g0th | like 100 dependencies | 21:42 |
| ikonia | that's what it's there fore | 21:42 |
| ikonia | there is a --reinstall option | 21:42 |
| ikonia | if you man apt-get | 21:42 |
| g0th | I don't want to remember all those 100 apps | 21:42 |
| g0th | I tried the reinstall | 21:42 |
| ikonia | g0th: why do you actually think it's broken ? | 21:43 |
| ikonia | g0th: why do you actually think it's broken ? | 21:43 |
| g0th | it shows a "C" (conflict) next to it | 21:43 |
| g0th | by broken I mean the installation | 21:43 |
| ikonia | g0th: do you have PPA's / 3rd party repos on the system | 21:44 |
| usr13 | wachpwnski: Let's say you have a thumb drive with Documents and you want it to be /home/wachpwnski/Portable-Docs First mkdir ~/Portable-Docs ; Then plug the divice in and run blkid and get it's UUID ; Make the fstab entry pointing the mount point to the UUID. From then on, it will show up in Portable-Docs (in /home/wachpwnski) | 21:44 |
| g0th | Some of the problems listed above are caused by some sort of debconf | 21:45 |
| g0th | database corruption. | 21:45 |
| g0th | database corruption | 21:45 |
| ikonia | g0th: do you have PPA's / 3rd party repos on the system | 21:45 |
| g0th | yes | 21:45 |
| ikonia | did you remove all PPA/3rd party software before upgrading as instruced ? | 21:46 |
| ikonia | instructed | 21:46 |
| nashant | dr_willis: if I run update-grub while booted into the installed env then when I reboot it still hangs on the splash screen (I've got it set to use no splash screen!) | 21:46 |
| g0th | it did so automatically | 21:46 |
| g0th | yes | 21:46 |
| ikonia | no, it doesn't do it automatically | 21:46 |
| ActionParsnip | g0th: try: wget https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/fixpackage; chmod +x ./fixpackage; sudo ./fixpackage | 21:46 |
| g0th | it told me duriong the update process that it disabled the additional repo | 21:46 |
| Pici | ikonia: I think the upgrade does actually. | 21:46 |
| ikonia | Pici: it really doesn't | 21:47 |
| usr13 | wachpwnski: The fstab entry will look something like: | 21:47 |
| ikonia | it may try....but it doesn't | 21:47 |
| usr13 | /home/wachpwnski/Portable-Docs 534c847c-98dd-40dc-a372-d91e064ccd6c auto users 0 0 | 21:47 |
| Pici | ikonia: it removes the repos, but it probably doesn't remove the packages. | 21:47 |
| ikonia | removing the repos does nothing | 21:47 |
| g0th | ofc not | 21:47 |
| g0th | I don't want to remove those package | 21:47 |
| ikonia | then your upgrade is falwed | 21:47 |
| dr_willis | nashant: tried the TEXT mode booting option? | 21:47 |
| g0th | those are several hundred packages | 21:47 |
| g0th | but not tex related | 21:47 |
| g0th | also not dictionary related | 21:48 |
| g0th | hmm, I can't see any possible conflict | 21:48 |

| ActionParsnip | g0th: available packages | 21:54 |
| g0th | what about manually installed packages? aren't those informations lost then? | 21:54 |
| g0th | hmm, isn't that the same as apt-get update? | 21:54 |
| g0th | essentially? | 21:55 |

| ActionParsnip | syphon14: can you give a pastebin of the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' Thanks | 21:58 |
| usr13 | bekks: He prolly has a flashplayer other than Adobe and the vids he's trying to play may only work with Adobe flash player, so why not cut to the chase? | 21:58 |

| delarge | hi there, i have a dell xps m1210 a little bit old with a processor of 1.83 Ghz and a ram of 992.3 MB and all these years i've used ubuntu 10.10 and always has worked very good but now i'm working with wireless networks and a lot of tools are deprecated and i want to upgrade my ubuntu. What version do you recommend me to download? | 21:59 |
| ikonia | delarge: current supported versions | 22:00 |
| delarge | the latest works fine in old machines? | 22:00 |
| ikonia | delarge: ubuntu 10.04 is still supported also | 22:00 |
| theadmin | delarge: 12.04 if you want large stability and long support. 12.10 if you're looking for new features. | 22:00 |
| ActionParsnip | delarge: Lubuntu is pretty light | 22:00 |
| ikonia | delarge: that's not an "old" machine | 22:00 |
| bekks | usr13: How do you know which flash implementation he is using? | 22:00 |
| xangua | delarge: it depends of you definition of old | 22:00 |
| ikonia | it will be fine with any modern distro | 22:00 |
| usr13 | bekks: I don't. | 22:00 |
| usr13 | bekks: And that is the point. | 22:00 |
| ActionParsnip | my command will fill you in though :) | 22:00 |
| delarge | thanks for the reply, then i'll try a Ubuntu 12.* | 22:03 |
| delarge | i hope that works fine in my laptop | 22:04 |
| usr13 | delarge: How old is it? | 22:04 |
| tozen | delarge: would be fine to see your laptops configuration info | 22:04 |
| delarge | it's a Dell XPS M1210, i bought it at 2007. Looking in System > Administration > Monitor shows a processor inter core 2 T5600 @ 1.83 Ghz | 22:06 |
| delarge | and a memory of 992.3 MiB | 22:06 |
| delarge | *intel | 22:06 |
| tozen | delarge: the best choice is Xubuntu | 22:06 |
| rosevp | any suggestion of why I can get to https://client.site.com/wp-admin and https://client.site.com/index.php but no other pages | 22:06 |
| rosevp | the remaining pages get 404 | 22:07 |
| rosevp | http works fine but not https | 22:07 |
| delarge | do you think that the 12.04 it's going to run slowly? | 22:07 |
| tozen | rosevp:pastebin hosts file, please | 22:07 |
| usr13 | delarge: Oh a Dell XPS M1210 should work fine with 12.04 or .10 | 22:08 |
| tozen | delarge: yes i do | 22:08 |
| rosevp | tozen so don't understand | 22:08 |
| rosevp | sorrry | 22:08 |
| ActionParsnip | tozen: Lubuntu is lighter still | 22:08 |
| nashant | dr_willis: ok, I have some info. when loading the partitions, the only one that actually has an alphanumeric identifier is sdd1. the rest are just 00000000-0000-etc | 22:08 |
| usr13 | delarge: How much RAM? | 22:08 |
| usr13 | delarge: Oh 1G, yea, that'll be ok | 22:09 |

| ActionParsnip | kelvinella: something like: sudo mkdir /media/hdd; sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/hdd -o user,rw,uid=1000 assuming it is /dev/sdb1 as the partition to mount | 22:15 |
| kelvinella | ActionParsnip, i can access the drive without mount | 22:17 |

| ActionParsnip | kelvinella: you could unmount the partition and label it. May help | 22:20 |
| dr_willis | kelvinella: backup stuff if you can.. and time to fsck the filesystem | 22:20 |
| kelvinella | i just bought this drive 2 days ago | 22:20 |
| kelvinella | maybe i should reformat it? | 22:20 |
| bekks | kelvinella: Just backup your data and run a fsck | 22:21 |
| bekks | kelvinella: after unmounting it. | 22:21 |
| kelvinella | or delete the Locale folder in ubuntu then plug in the xubuntu? | 22:21 |
| ActionParsnip | kelvinella: try the label. It may help | 22:21 |
| bekks | kelvinella: Dont reformat or delete things unless you know it will help. | 22:21 |
| kelvinella | what label? | 22:21 |
| kelvinella | and how? | 22:21 |
| ikonia | why would you reformat something ? | 22:22 |

| usr13 | kelvinella: xubuntu should automount it for you. | 22:29 |
| ActionParsnip | kelvinella: it should, if the label is whack then it won't mount as the label is used as the mount point | 22:30 |
| usr13 | kelvinella: .... by default ... | 22:30 |
| ikonia | rosevp: you should get more info than that from the error log, that sounds like the access log | 22:30 |

| kelvinella | ActionParsnip, everything works in ubuntu | 22:35 |
| kelvinella | just not the xubuntu file manager | 22:35 |

| usr13 | kelvinella: It reads the Local/ directory? | 22:35 |
| ikonia | although I'd just expect an invalid certficiate warning | 22:36 |
| rosevp | me to | 22:36 |
| kelvinella | yes usr13 | 22:36 |
| rosevp | strange I can get to index | 22:36 |
| ikonia | rosevp: is the index just cache ? | 22:36 |
| kelvinella | i think maybe that Locale is giving problem to the gui file manager in xubuntu if i can delete that Locale folder | 22:36 |
| ikonia | rosevp: have you setup the subdirectory "directory" parameters to allow subdirectories ? | 22:37 |

| carlosandre | usr13: so... I can start/stop manually but when I put it on monit... doesn't start | 22:53 |

| ActionParsnip | BlessJah: power options in system settings | 22:54 |
| rosevp | ikonia just sent u conf of both 80 and 443 | 22:54 |

| BlessJah | ActionParsnip: thanks a lot! | 23:00 |
| ikonia | rosevp: ahhhh you didn't create the SSL | 23:00 |
| ikonia | rosevp: thats the issue | 23:00 |
| ikonia | rosevp: you need to create an SSL certificate for your site | 23:00 |
| ikonia | that's why it's not matching up | 23:00 |
| rosevp | but why does the main index and all the js, css work with https: ? | 23:00 |
| rosevp | I got mismatch browser msg but just continued | 23:01 |
| rosevp | any other page get 404 | 23:01 |
| ikonia | rosevp: it's not really working if you look at it | 23:02 |
| ikonia | it's a certificate missmatch | 23:02 |
| Networked | hey guys, I have a question about installing/removing software | 23:04 |
| cfedde | from apt it's pretty easy! | 23:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Networked: wassup | 23:05 |
| rosevp | ikonia: right...but wonder why I can get to index | 23:06 |
| Networked | ActionParsnip: Basically, I have emacs and emacs23 installed. I want to completely remove emacs23, so I can completely install emacs24. When I mark emacs23 for complete removal, synaptic says I have to install emacs23-el ... I don't want to install anything emacs23 if I'm friggin trying to get rid of it | 23:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Networked: try: sudo apt-get --purge remove emacs* | 23:07 |
| ikonia | rosevp: because you're accepting the invalid certficate | 23:07 |
| ikonia | rosevp: but the I suspect the application calls other things, which because it's not interactive can't accept the invalid certivciate so fails | 23:08 |
| === zeroGravity is now known as Guest95923 | ||
| Networked | ActionParsnip: do you have to be in the actual folder to purge properly? | 23:08 |
| elitenovell | is there any good linux command books | 23:09 |
| eternal | ls | 23:09 |
| Networked | ActionParsnip: because I'm running it right now, and it looks like it's only looking in my home folder. It's trying to remove a tar file I have called "emacs-stuff" as a package, which obviously doesn't work | 23:09 |
| nashant | Anyone know why LVM manager decides to put sdd1 before sdc1?? | 23:10 |
| ikonia | does it matter ? | 23:11 |
| ikonia | and in what respect "puts it before" | 23:11 |
| cfedde | you are doing concatination? | 23:11 |
| g0th | hmm | 23:17 |
| g0th | I opened alsamixer and muted some stuff, which indeed muted my audio, so I unmuted it again but I couldn't hear anything anymore. Wth is going on? | 23:17 |
| g0th | Everything in alsamixer is unmuted it seems, I don't understand why this would disable audio | 23:18 |
| nashant | ikonia: It puts them in the order sda4, sdb1, **sdd1**, sdc1. And I suppose it doesn't REALLY matter, it's just causing my OCD serious pain | 23:18 |
| ikonia | nashant: what command are you doing to see this, a vgdisplay ? | 23:18 |
| seba_ | hello. Have a problem. I have a laptop and ubuntu 12.04. Compiz use about 20% cpu in idle ( i have intel i3-380m ) Do you know what i can do to limited this ? Sorry for english ;/ | 23:20 |
| nashant | ikonia: I was using the gui. How do I see it with the terminal? | 23:20 |
| rosevp | ikonia: that makes sense | 23:21 |
| rosevp | isn't there a simple way to create a cert for a server; this is just a dev box | 23:21 |
| ikonia | rosevp: yeah, self signed certificate and make your machine / browser aware of the self signed CA | 23:23 |
| g0th | I hate the existing sound systems | 23:23 |
| g0th | you can ruin an evening by just clicking mute + unmute on alsamixer :( | 23:24 |
