| UltimaKR | tomreyn: the thing i am having trouble understanding is why do these errors keep taking place when nothing is wrong with the disk or the drive? | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| nazty | hey | 00:02 |
| nazty | how do i get rid of ubuntu after installing it using wubi.exe | 00:02 |
| tomreyn | UltimaKR: because optical media sucks even more than magnetism based media. | 00:02 |
| tomreyn | it may work on one drive but not the other | 00:03 |
| tomreyn | in fact this is pretty common | 00:03 |
| UltimaKR | tomreyn: so my only option really then is to try to use a program to allow the PC to boot from USB, so that I can use lubuntu from there? | 00:03 |
| UltimaKR | would i need to burn it somehow or just copy the iso to a flash drive? | 00:04 |
| tomreyn | that or a tftp / etherboot <tomreyn> you could still try the chainloading approach, or to boot from network | 00:04 |
| tomreyn | UltimaKR: i'm not terribly keen on carrying on with this | 00:05 |
| tomreyn | joggers: we can talk here | 00:05 |
| Dr_Willis_ | i would just put the hd in a usb enclosure, install to it from a differnt pc.. then put the hd back | 00:05 |
| Dr_Willis_ | or set it up with grub2 to boot an iso file from small partion at the front. ;) | 00:06 |
| Dr_Willis_ | netbooting may be a easier solution. | 00:07 |
| nashant | evening Dr_Willis_. You don't have any experience getting hdmi audio to work for radeons do you? | 00:07 |

| smkatz | (My IRC client won't send that output because it interprets it as a command.) | 00:17 |
| smkatz | yes | 00:17 |
| ikonia | michagogo: the xorg and compiz logs wouldbe the virst place to check | 00:18 |

| ikonia | michagogo: to me...no, to a bug report yes | 00:19 |
| michagogo | Okay | 00:19 |
| ikonia | michagogo: I'd also consider your trying to run a 3d desktop in a virtual machine | 00:19 |
| ikonia | compiz may not be happy with that | 00:19 |
| michagogo | Can I tell it not to do that? | 00:19 |
| ikonia | michagogo: unity depends on it | 00:19 |
| michagogo | Wait, there was a checkbox for enabling 3d acceleration. | 00:20 |
| michagogo | Should I power off and tick that? | 00:20 |

| ikonia | smkatz: pastebin if it's long | 00:20 |
| ikonia | smkatz: actually - wait | 00:20 |
| ikonia | smkatz: do "ls | grep -i dru" pastebin the output of that | 00:20 |
| tomreyn | michagogo: that's why i brought up 3d earlier. but i doubt it works without the vbox guest utils installed. on the other hand, i think some of them got mainlined, so it could. | 00:21 |

| n00bz | Halp me please? After installing ubuntu, my laptop reboots to unknown filesysytem, grub rescue | 00:22 |

| smkatz | ok | 00:23 |
| n00bz | Anyone? | 00:24 |
| tomreyn | <tomreyn> michagogo: shut down the hard way, then start it again and hold doen left shift key while it's booting. this should bring up the boot menu, where you can select the recovery option. | 00:24 |
| tomreyn | <michagogo> tomreyn: I'm going to try to do it again | 00:24 |
| tomreyn | <tomreyn> make sure you (mouse) click on the ubuntu VM before holding down shift. | 00:24 |

| michagogo | What did you expect? | 00:26 |
| n00bz | wNz: i've no idea how to do anything from the screen im at | 00:26 |
| tomreyn | michagogo: something like "Ubuntu Linux 3.5.xxx", "Ubuntu Linux 3.5.xxx (Recovery)" | 00:26 |
| michagogo | Yeah, I chose recovery there | 00:27 |
| michagogo | Then I got those choices after a bunch of verbose boot stuff | 00:27 |
| tomreyn | i see, i guess that's new then or i haven't run into it, yet | 00:27 |
| tomreyn | well failsafex should help | 00:27 |
| michagogo | tomreyn: Now it looks stuck: http://i.imgur.com/dHfdr.png | 00:28 |
| michagogo | Or is it supposed to take a while? | 00:28 |
| tomreyn | michagogo: this can take up to 2 minutes | 00:29 |
| michagogo | k | 00:29 |
| tomreyn | possibly more if it needs to check larger file systems | 00:29 |
| tomreyn | but since it's a VM i assume you only have one smaller partition there | 00:30 |

| michagogo | tomreyn: Seems like this might be relevant: http://i.imgur.com/Rmc2X.png | 00:36 |

| Dr_Willis_ | So you need to reinstall/fix grub. | 00:56 |
| tomreyn | n00bz: you can safely pull the plug or rather switch off your PDU there, or hit reset button. you should download an ubuntu live/install cd for your version, boot off it (burn to cd or write it to a usb key) and run the recovery option | 00:56 |

| n00bz | you make it sound so easy :P | 00:59 |
| tomreyn | n00bz: often there is some F key you can hit to access the boot menu when powering up the system | 00:59 |
| Dr_Willis_ | n00bz: live cd + that boot-repair tool is where i would start | 00:59 |
| tomreyn | n00bz: if there is not, you need to access your biod and then look for startup/boot options and change the boot order so that cdrom is before HDD | 01:00 |

| Guest65540 | hi.. can anyone help me out? I am trying to get the open source ati drivers to work under xubuntu 12.10, but I can't seem to get them to recognize the card. 12.04 recognizes the card with the opensource drivers. | 01:00 |
| tomreyn | n00bz: also have a look at what Dr_Willis made ubottu tell you earlier | 01:01 |
| n00bz | i am! | 01:01 |
| tomreyn | Guest65540: which model do you have there? | 01:02 |
| n00bz | i know my questions are retarded, but i do listen | 01:02 |
| Guest65540 | 6290. It's a cheap netbook amd c-60 processor | 01:02 |
| tomreyn | n00bz: alright, sorry ;) people are often too lazy | 01:02 |
| tomreyn | or overwhelmed | 01:02 |
| Guest65540 | I can get the properiety drivers working but they don't work so well with mythtv | 01:03 |
| n00bz | tomreyn, i appreciate the help. my only other option is to take it locally to someone who offered to remove my HD save my files and reinstall windows | 01:03 |
| tomreyn | Guest65540: 6290? which brand? | 01:03 |
| Guest65540 | ati | 01:03 |
| Guest65540 | it's an apu | 01:03 |

| Septima | MDMA: just fine | 01:05 |
| Guest65540 | the other option is to try helping me upgrade the kernel of 12.04 to 3.3+.. can't seem to get that to work | 01:05 |
| Guest65540 | keeps using 3.2 for some reason | 01:05 |

| [snake] | tomreyn, that's awesome, I'll check it out :P | 01:07 |
| Septima | what's up n00bz? | 01:08 |
| tomreyn | Guest65540: you want to upgrade to linux 3.2? ubuntu 12.10 should come with linux 3.5 if i'm not mistaken. | 01:08 |
| n00bz | it's broken septima :) | 01:08 |
| DjuharDudaev | vlc | 01:09 |
| Guest65540 | it does .. it uses 3.5 | 01:09 |
| n00bz | SNAFU :) | 01:09 |
| TheLordOfTime | XMLnewbi__, "reinstall"? not really, since SSH implies the server remains on and connected... | 01:09 |
| Guest65540 | but that doesn't work correctly with the open source drivers or something | 01:09 |
| Septima | how's it broken? | 01:09 |
| RollinV2 | XML nope, but what type of server is it? a VPS? | 01:09 |
| tomreyn | Guest65540: so you downgraded your kernel?! | 01:09 |
| Guest65540 | so that's why I was going to just upgrade 12.04 3.3 | 01:09 |
| Guest65540 | no I didn't | 01:10 |
| Guest65540 | I have two installations of linux .. | 01:10 |
| n00bz | well, my startup screen is grub error, and i don't know what to do... | 01:10 |
| Septima | n00bz: have you ran boot-repair on it? | 01:11 |
| XMLnewbi__ | is it possible using a VPS to start from scratch and switch to cpanel's | 01:11 |
| tomreyn | Guest65540: okay, can you please list the installations of linux and other operating sstems you have on this cetbook, including the linux kernel versions for me? | 01:11 |
| tomreyn | *netbook | 01:11 |
| n00bz | septima if i knew how, i might | 01:11 |
| n00bz | but what will boot repair do? | 01:12 |
| Guest65540 | ok.. I have mythbuntu 12.04 installed it's using 3.2 35 I think | 01:12 |
| RollinV2 | XML yes you can install cpanel on a VPS if your host OS is supported (ex CentOS) | 01:12 |
| n00bz | i need windows at the moment, to run a VM to be able to use ubuntu, because my internet doesn't work with it | 01:12 |
| Guest65540 | and I have xubuntu 12.10 and it's using 3.5 0.21 | 01:12 |
| Guest65540 | I want to try upgrading the mythbuntu to 3.3. | 01:13 |
| doctorly | I am having problems connecting to the internet. When I initially ran the setup, it connected fine. But now I cant see the ssid of any network and I cant connect if I do it manually, I have the right driver and everything though. | 01:13 |
| RollinV2 | n00bz if you have moderatly powerful system virtualizing ubuntu as a guest in a windows host is fine | 01:13 |
| Septima | n00bz: well if ubuntu's in the VM, you can do one of two things: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 01:13 |
| Septima | n00bz: either mount the boot-repair disk image or mount the ubuntu install iso | 01:14 |
| RollinV2 | noobz, if you have the cash using vmware + vmware tools makes the ubuntu vm management a lot easier | 01:14 |
| Septima | vmware player is free | 01:14 |
| RollinV2 | yes, workstation is much improved but not worth the cash for average users | 01:15 |
| * n00bzz kicks her ISP | 01:15 | |
| Septima | n00bzz: you can use boot repair one of two ways: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair the difference with a VM is that you load the iso up in the vm instead of burning it to a cd | 01:16 |
| tomreyn | Guest65540: alright, gotcha. if you don't mind, can you pick a different nickname, this would make adressing you easier for me. | 01:17 |

| ATI | oh ok.. no problem. | 01:19 |
| Septima | n00bzz: honestly, usb modems are just an odd thing | 01:19 |
| n00bzz | i struggled septima, since i could only make changes to ubuntu in my VM, while i look at the instructions | 01:20 |
| kevinch | dumb question, how can I find which files are using my boot drives space? | 01:20 |
| kevinch | like the biggest files/directories. I have other hdd's mounted that I don't care about, they're nearly empty | 01:20 |
| Septima | n00bzz: well doing it in the VM won't work.. because your VM is getting it's connection routed through your host (windows) | 01:20 |
| Septima | n00bzz: i'd print the instructions and use your other install | 01:21 |
| SolarisBoy | kevinch: you can do this in the terminal with (du or find or ls) and you can try in the gui with 'disk usage analyzer' | 01:21 |
| kevinch | yeah this is ubuntu server so i'll have to use du or something | 01:22 |
| n00bzz | i'd need to dload usb_switchmode for that septima? | 01:22 |
| ATI | tomreyn: not sure if this info is needed. Under 12.04 when I hit glxinfo render reads Gallium 0.4 on AMD PALM while on 12.10 it stats LLVMpipe. | 01:22 |
| Septima | n00bzz: with apt-get? i'd try it.. if it already has it, it'll say so and won't bother downloading it again | 01:22 |

| Septima | n00bzz: looks like it's already pre-installed on ubuntu 12.10 | 01:24 |

| iceroot | b44: no | 01:40 |
| iceroot | b44: that command will not update your packages | 01:40 |
| iceroot | b44: why you want 13.04? | 01:40 |
| b44 | iceroot: I don't want 13.04 ... I just want the "testing" mode of 10.04 instead of "stable" | 01:41 |
| iceroot | b44: and what is the testing-mode on 10.04? | 01:41 |
| ATI | tomreyn: alright went through all the instructions and rebooted. I still get the same results. | 01:41 |
| ATI | tomreyn: could it be that I need to configure the xorg.conf? | 01:41 |
| Dr_Willis_ | WeThePeople: with my nvidia systems.. I just plug them in. make sure i got hte nvidia drivers installed and with 12.10 twinview auto kicks in. | 01:41 |
| b44 | hm... maybe I misunderstood something. iceroot, what I want is to install the newest openjdk and scala packages. That's why I wanted to change to "testing packages" instead of "stable packages". E.g stable java-jdk is v6, but testing is v7 | 01:42 |
| WeThePeople | dr_willis_, i have the other monitor plugged in and its not auto detecting it | 01:42 |

| ATI | tomreyn: even though I ran "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" no xorg.conf was created under /etc/X11 | 01:43 |
| tomreyn | ATI: you shouldn't need to configure xorg, it should be automatic. | 01:43 |
| ATI | tomreyn: the xorg.conf file is empty. | 01:43 |
| tomreyn | ATI: xorg populates the contents of this file in memory when it starts up | 01:43 |
| tomreyn | so it is never written to disk | 01:44 |
| iceroot | tomreyn: udev is managing the settings and its created at every boot. | 01:45 |
| ATI | tomreyn: oh hmm.. didn't know that. anyways no drivers appear to be loading up correctly.. all I can select under display is 1024x768 and the refresh rate is 0 hz for the laptop screen! | 01:45 |
| tomreyn | ATI: that's when you use the open source drivers. we'll see what you are running now. please run: sudo lspci -knnv | grep -A10 VGA | pastebinit | 01:45 |
| iceroot | tomreyn: if you want to overwrite the detecting of udev you have to create /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 01:45 |
| tomreyn | iceroot: we don't want to for now. udev writes an xorg.conf? where to? | 01:46 |
| iceroot | tomreyn: no | 01:46 |
| iceroot | tomreyn: udev is detecting the settings and communicationg directly with xorg | 01:46 |
| iceroot | tomreyn: without a config file | 01:46 |
| ATI | tomreyn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1453774/ | 01:46 |
| iceroot | tomreyn: if you want an own config you have to create xorg.conf. everything in that file will overwrite the settings from udev | 01:46 |

| djzn | anyone figured out how to make the mouse pointer LARGER in Unity+Compiz ? | 02:16 |
| ATI | tomreyn: hmm.. you wouldn't know the password to a live-cd where the username is this would you? | 02:18 |
| tomreyn | ATI: good plan. btw. here's how you could dump the config (but you'd need to do this from a real terminal, i.e. ctrl-alt-F1 or so; SSH should also work): http://mummila.net/nuudelisoppa/2012/06/25/dump-effective-xorg-conf-note-to-self/ | 02:18 |
| tomreyn | tomreyn: where the username is what? | 02:19 |
| n00bzz | ugh, how do i get boot repair without internet? | 02:19 |
| ATI | tomreyn: username is "this" | 02:19 |

| === marvin is now known as Guest8811 | ||
| ATI | tomreyn: I don't know what the default password is... | 02:19 |
| tomreyn | ATI: is it? that's news to me. | 02:19 |
| ATI | tomreyn: hmm.. let me look up how to change passwords | 02:20 |
| tomreyn | ATI: sudo passwd <username> | 02:21 |
| tomreyn | but you'll need to be able to run sudo | 02:21 |
| tomreyn | or just run "passwd" to set a password when you're the "this" user already | 02:22 |
| ATI | tomreyn: cool thanks. | 02:22 |
| ATI | tomreyn: ok.. here's the log http://paste.ubuntu.com/1453833/ | 02:23 |
| tomreyn | ATI: please do: sudo gedit /etc/default/grub | 02:24 |
| tomreyn | you have two options there which you need to remove: radeon.audio=1 radeon.modeset=1 | 02:25 |
| me_ | helllo? | 02:25 |
| djzn | hey guys, i'm trying to make my pointer larger, any tips? seems like dconf-editor do change the sizes, but the pointer is inconsistent in some apps and unty. | 02:25 |
| wa5qjh | KEEP CALM and remember that if the MAYANS could predict the future, there would still be MAYANS! | 02:25 |
| ATI | tomreyn: oh.. ok.. let me get rid of those. I need to reboot then | 02:25 |
| tomreyn | ATI: then reboot, and post your X log file again | 02:25 |
| tomreyn | right | 02:26 |
| me_ | that is tru | 02:26 |
| ATI | tomreyn: should I try getting the xorg.conf stuff from the live cd first? | 02:26 |
| tomreyn | ATI: yes give it a try first | 02:26 |
| ATI | tomreyn ok... you said ssh should be fine right? | 02:26 |
| tomreyn | ATI: yes should be. the grpahical output on the monitor will fail, but i guess that's okay | 02:27 |
| ATI | tomreyn ok... I am almost finish getting the dump just need to winscp it | 02:28 |
| tomreyn | you can pastebin it | 02:28 |
| ATI | how do you pastebin exactly? | 02:29 |
| tomreyn | pastebinit /path/to/file | 02:29 |
| ATI | ahh.. ok | 02:29 |
| tomreyn | will post the file to paste.ubuntu.com | 02:29 |
| ATI | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1453836/ | 02:30 |
| ATI | ok rebooting now | 02:30 |
| MrWibbles | is there a way of using setfacl so it applies to every directory in a path | 02:32 |
| MrWibbles | i.e. setfacl --modify user:whatever:r-x /this/and/this/and/this | 02:32 |
| MrWibbles | so it doesn't apply to /this/notthis for example | 02:32 |
| ATI | tomreyn: alright so I removed radeon=1 stuff.. did a sudo update-grub and I still have the same problem | 02:33 |
| ATI | tomreyn: after a reboot that is. | 02:34 |
| ATI | tomreyn: should I try putting the xorg.conf in now? | 02:34 |
| tomreyn | ATI: what's the output of: grep -F '[KMS]' /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 02:35 |
| tomreyn | ATI: this should be a single line only, if so you can post it here | 02:35 |
| ATI | grep -F '[KMS]' /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 02:35 |
| ATI | whops | 02:35 |
| tomreyn | :) | 02:36 |
| ATI | [ 17.407] (II) [KMS] drm report modesetting isn't supported. | 02:36 |
| tomreyn | dang | 02:36 |
| tomreyn | ATI: grep -F 'Kernel command line' /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 02:36 |
| tomreyn | also a single line, can also go here | 02:37 |
| ATI | Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.5.0-21-generic root=UUID=6924c69f-4fca-48fd-90d3-be094fc50c59 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 | 02:37 |
| tomreyn | hmm okay, well try the xorg.conf then | 02:37 |
| ATI | alright | 02:37 |
| tomreyn | if it works that way we can modify it to make it less static. | 02:38 |
| ATI | hah.. it didn't work........ hahah | 02:39 |
| b44 | missing dependency "libjansi-java" for installing "scala 2.9.2-400" | 02:40 |
| b44 | How to install that? it's not in listed in packages.. | 02:40 |
| lipton | hi | 02:40 |
| ATI | tomreyn: maybe I should just try reinstalling xubuntu again............ | 02:40 |
| tomreyn | ATI: so you're saying it worked initially and broken when you tried fglrx? | 02:43 |
| ATI | tomreyn: I don't quite remember... but I don't think it ever worked..... then I got some instructions to try installing vaapi... that didn't work, and it installed fglrx which I later purged.. | 02:44 |
| ATI | tomreyn: fglrx works.. but it feels slower when using mythtv under 12.04.. the problem was 12.04 and opensource is that the sound wasn't working | 02:45 |
| ATI | tomreyn: that is.. sound through hdmi. | 02:46 |
| tomreyn | i'Ve also read reports on fglrx being slower than radeon (if it works) | 02:47 |
| ATI | yeah.. I read that if I had kernel 3.3+ installed that sound was supported.. but I couldn't get that working. | 02:48 |
| tomreyn | and here it says that the "[KMS] drm report modesetting isn't supported." problem reported in Xorg.0.log can be prevented by disabling the framebuffer: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Radeon#Kernels_.3E.3D3.0.0 | 02:48 |
| ATI | I mean I couldn't install 3.3 | 02:48 |
| ATI | oh let me read that | 02:48 |
| ATI | do I disable the framebuffer in the xorg.conf? | 02:49 |
| tomreyn | well, the gentoo people did it by rebuilding their kernel, that's not really the preferred option for us. | 02:50 |
| ATI | haha | 02:50 |
| tomreyn | you could probably blacklist the module, or maybe it's possible in xorg.conf, too. the xorg.conf you created on the live cd sets a lower priority on it, this can be sufficient to fix the issue, too | 02:51 |
| ATI | I can reinstall xubuntu again just to check that I didn't set anything weird the first time around..... | 02:51 |
| ATI | hmm.. ok. let me look into how to disable the framebuffer though xorg | 02:52 |
| tomreyn | the other issue when you disable the framebuffer device, though, is that i think you loose the failsafe X, too, i.e. if the radeon driver doesn'T work you then get no output at all | 02:52 |
| tomreyn | no grpahical output, that is | 02:52 |
| tomreyn | i think you would best try the xorg.conf from the live CD now | 02:53 |
| ATI | I did try the xorg.conf from the live cd ... | 02:54 |
| treenom | I really need help getting my wifi working. I was connected, but after I updated it started saying that I am now disconnected. It wont even list any ssid | 02:54 |
| tomreyn | and rebooted? | 02:54 |
| ATI | yeah.. I rebooted and everything was the same | 02:54 |
| ATI | same problem. | 02:54 |
| treenom | as me? | 02:54 |
| ATI | sorry talking to tomreyn | 02:55 |
| tomreyn | ATI: had you done this again? still same output? grep -F '[KMS]' /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 02:55 |
| ATI | [ 17.324] (II) [KMS] drm report modesetting isn't supported. | 02:56 |
| tomreyn | well that sucks :-/ | 02:56 |
| ATI | yeah.. | 02:56 |
| ATI | it looks like I can disable the framebuffer through grub? | 02:57 |
| ATI | just add " vga=normal nomodeset"? | 02:57 |
| treenom | I am having a really hard time with my wireless, if any one could point me in the right direction, it would be amazing | 02:57 |
| tomreyn | ATI: vga=nofb OR vga=normal should work, yes, why nomodeset? | 03:00 |
| ATI | tomreyn: oh I don't know.. didn't check.. | 03:01 |
| tomreyn | ATI: i guess you should actually put the radeon.modeset=1 in again, to force it | 03:01 |
| tomreyn | as well as the vga option, then update-grub, reboot, rename xorg.conf (so it is no longer used), reboot again. | 03:02 |
| ATI | ok give me a second. | 03:02 |
| samm | ello World | 03:04 |
| fsvieira | hi, I am a linux user for many years, I have ubuntu with unity, I love unity but it freeze most of the times in the last updates... how can I solve this, and should I switch to a more open UI? | 03:05 |
| Septima | fsvieira: i'd upgrade my video drivers | 03:07 |
| ATI | tomreyn: hmm.. well vga=nofb with the radeon mode =1 thingy didn't work correctly.. now all I get is a black screen, and I can't even ssh in.. | 03:11 |
| Kardos | can the bootable install cd assemble a mdadm array? | 03:11 |
| fsvieira | Septima, I am upgraded , another thing I notice is the performace, I just buy some games, and in untiy they are slow but in gnome shell they are more fast. | 03:11 |
| tomreyn | ATI: you mean radeon.modeset=1 right | 03:13 |
| tomreyn | ATI: not being able to SSH in is strange... anyway, do a ctrl-alt-delete, then hold down shift when it boots | 03:13 |
| ATI | use set gfxpayload=vga=nofb before linux command instead text is deprecated | 03:13 |
| ATI | error unrecognized number | 03:13 |
| ATI | you need to load the kernel first | 03:13 |
| Septima | fsvieira: then i'd stop using unity | 03:13 |
| tomreyn | ATI: holding down shift will bring up the grub menu, where you can then edit out the problematic lines so you can boot up fine again. | 03:14 |
| ATI | sorry that is. text is deprecated. use set gfxpayload=vga=nofb before linux command instead. then the error stuff | 03:14 |
| ATI | oh ok | 03:14 |
| fsvieira | Septima, yeah thats what I am going to do, but I really start liking unity... but yeah I think I should stop | 03:14 |
| tomreyn | ATI: where is this message from, and where do we use "text"? | 03:15 |
| ATI | that's when I try to run ubuntu under grub | 03:15 |
| ATI | that's the error that comes up | 03:15 |
| ATI | and then it returns back to the grub menu | 03:15 |
| Septima | fsvieira: it'll improve with some more development time on it | 03:15 |
| Sazpaimon | is there a way to have unity do windows-style alt+tab where it doesn't group applications and just shows all windows? | 03:16 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| tomreyn | ATI: maybe "nofb" is an alias for "text". anyway, the easiest option now is probably just to remove all the extra options and boot it up then | 03:17 |
| fsvieira | Septima, what I was asking is if I can do something... maybe I am doing something wrong | 03:17 |
| tomreyn | ATI: i'm afraid i will need to wrap it up pretty soon, it's kind of late here, or early rather. | 03:17 |
| ATI | oh.. I tried the vga=normal instead.. and it loads.. but I still get the same problem as before... where the vesa drivers are loading up | 03:17 |
| ATI | tomreyn: that's okay.. thanks a lot for your help | 03:18 |
| tomreyn | ATI: another option you have is to try updated kernel + video drivers, i.e. xorg-edgers. | 03:18 |
| Septima | fsvieira: i haven't heard of anything to improve unity in that aspect. i personally just went the xfce route instead, when i experienced the 'show nothing but my wallpaper' bug between unity and amd/ati cards | 03:18 |
| ATI | tomreyn: ok.. I will look into that | 03:19 |
| ZNaught | hello, could someone help me with nvidia driver install? | 03:19 |
| tomreyn | ATI: but getting back from that to where you are now can be annoying. so ... just saying. | 03:19 |
| ATI | tomreyn: I am going to do a fresh install of xubuntu first and then try to troubleshoot from there.. | 03:20 |
| ZNaught | after installing the NVIDIA drivers, the desktop does not load after login | 03:20 |

| tomreyn | ATI: the other way around might be better, though | 03:22 |
| tomreyn | ATI: since when you have xorg-edgers and it works worse than now, downgrading is annoying, but if you want to reinstall anyways then: no loss | 03:22 |

| ZNaught | can anyone help with nvidia driver install? | 03:27 |
| tomreyn | ATI: also do this in the end: sudo apt-get install mesa | 03:27 |
| tomreyn | ATI: and run "COLUMNS=120 dpkg -l mesa" and make sure it reports something with "sarvatt" on the version column | 03:28 |
| tomreyn | only then did the upgraded packages get installed properly | 03:29 |
| tomreyn | ATI: xorg-edgers also has an updated fglrx driver which you can also try if the open source one doesn't work. | 03:29 |
| tomreyn | package fglrx-installer | 03:29 |

| Septima | ZNaught: for removing the restricted modules | 03:32 |
| ZNaught | Septima, will this require me to uninstall the old drivers and reinstall? | 03:33 |
| Septima | ZNaught: i'd uninstall them, and make sure everything is cleaned up, then install the nvidia drivers that you downloaded from nvidia's site | 03:34 |

| ZNaught | how would I do that Septima? Heck, I dont even know how to run a .run file. I am trying linux for first time | 03:34 |

| Septima | ZNaught: well for the restricted modules it speaks about, you'd do something like: sudo apt-get --purge remove restrictedmodules | 03:37 |
| Septima | ZNaught: for the files it specifies, i'd delete them in the terminal.. using the rm command | 03:38 |
| Septima | ZNaught: it also says to purge and remove nvidia-glx | 03:38 |

| Ziber | Anyone familiar with radvd, is there anything else I have to do except put my prefixes in the config file and reload it in order for my server to start advertising IPv6 addresses on my LAN? | 03:40 |
| Septima | ZNaught: looks like you need to do: sudo apt-get install build-essential pkg-config xserver-xorg-dev | 03:40 |
| Septima | ZNaught: and additionally install the linux headers for your kernel version.. you can get your version by typing uname -a | 03:41 |
| Septima | ZNaught: if you get all that set up there, i'd try just running the .run file | 03:41 |
| tomreyn | ATI: hmm, maybe the PPA didn't install properly then. got any error messages while setting it up (using the long line of commands i posted)? | 03:42 |
| ZNaught | Septima, how do I install the headers? Sorry | 03:42 |
| Septima | ZNaught: sudo apt-get install | 03:42 |
| MrWibbles | hey guys | 03:42 |

| ZNaught | Septima, just that line? | 03:42 |
| MrWibbles | i'm having issues with permissions.. is there anyway to apply user:whatever:r-x to all the directories contained in /a/b/c | 03:43 |
| MrWibbles | but not their subdirectories | 03:43 |
| Septima | ZNaught: if you type like: sudo apt-get install linux-header, then hit tab a few times, i'll list what's available.. like i said, you need to get the ones to match your kernel version, which you can find out by typing uname -a | 03:43 |
| Jordan_U | MrWibbles: Yes, but first why do you want to do this? | 03:43 |
| MrWibbles | so that an application can access its files | 03:43 |
| MrWibbles | it need r-x on every directory to the application directory | 03:44 |
| Jordan_U | MrWibbles: What application? What files? | 03:44 |
| MrWibbles | each application has it's own system user | 03:44 |
| ZNaught | Septima, ok to recap: Uninstall the NVidia drivers by installing the linux headers, then remove the restricted modules and files, then run the .run file? | 03:44 |
| MrWibbles | the applications files.. different depending on what language the application is writtain in | 03:44 |
| Septima | ZNaught: yes | 03:45 |

| tomreyn | ATI: packages available in this repository: https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa/+packages?field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter=quantal - you also want the linux update to 3.7 and newest linux-firmware | 03:45 |
| ZNaught | ok thanks. I will give it a shot | 03:45 |
| Ziber | anyone with radvd experience might be able to help me get my server to start advertising addresses? | 03:45 |
| Jordan_U | MrWibbles: Normally such directories are created automatically, and with the correct permissions. The fact that you're asking this question makes me wonder if there is something else wrong which needs to be fixed rather than worked around. | 03:45 |
| tomreyn | ATI: the 'mesa' package may be virtual only and thus not be listed in dpkg -l output. but "apt-cache search mesa" should find it. | 03:46 |
| ATI | tomreyn: is there anyway I can just download the packages manually? | 03:46 |
| MrWibbles | jordan_u: ok.. application doesn't exist... other applications do /srv/dd/application_name gets created.. r-x permissions need to be added to /srv and /srv/dd | 03:46 |
| MrWibbles | the user only gets created when the application is created | 03:47 |
| tomreyn | ATI: click on the links on the page i just sent you, but using the PPA does work, and you should use it if by all means possible to be able to properly revolce dependencies. | 03:47 |
| MrWibbles | one option would be to add all the applications to a group and then give the group permissions | 03:47 |
| ATI | basically the error is this W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/mesa9/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found | 03:47 |

| tomreyn | ATI: how did this mesa9 get there? | 03:48 |
| ATI | I might have tried putting a mesa9 repository in there... | 03:48 |
| tomreyn | ATI: why? | 03:48 |
| Jordan_U | MrWibbles: I still don't understand your situation, but "chown user:group /path/to/directories/*/" should change the user and group of all directories within the directory "/path/to/directories/".

| pkh | finding it tough to put together a google query for this... is it posible to 'cd' into a folder that's been mounted over without umounting the other? (e.g. / is part1, /home is part2, /home on part1 still contains crap, want to delete.) | 04:19 |
| zoite_ | pkh, i dont believe so | 04:20 |
| pkh | k, will shut it down, pullt he drive and mount is elsewhere, thanks | 04:21 |
| somsip | pkh: no - the files on part1 are effectively hidden and unaccessible by the mount of part2 | 04:23 |

| bluesnow | Can anyone help? | 04:27 |
| jonesn420 | bluesnow, see if simple browser settings are auto detect or no proxy or what | 04:27 |
| jonesn420 | that can sometimes affect | 04:27 |
| bluesnow | jonesn240: My browser is no proxy. However, my apt get and other programs that use networking are also not working. | 04:28 |

| bluesnow | jonesn240: Any idea what's going on? | 04:28 |
| jonesn420 | router settings? | 04:28 |
| bluesnow | jonesn240: I connected to a VPN yesterday, and apparently the VPN is known for messing with routing tables / internet configs | 04:29 |
| bluesnow | jonesn240: Yeah, I'd think so, but I already reset my routing table. | 04:29 |
| bluesnow | Maybe I didn't do it correctly? | 04:29 |
| bluesnow | I'm not sure if I ran the right command. | 04:29 |
| jonesn420 | possibly i cant see. i know a bit of routing but not everything | 04:29 |
| bluesnow | jonesn240: Do you know how I could reset my routing table properly? | 04:29 |
| jonesn420 | if u did just setup it once i would just try one more time | 04:29 |
| jonesn420 | one sec gotta piss | 04:30 |
| jonesn420 | did u even restart the network after changing it | 04:31 |
| jonesn420 | still gotta piss brb just answer that for now | 04:31 |
| bluesnow | jonesn240: What do you mean by restarting the network? | 04:31 |
| jonesn420 | service network restart | 04:32 |
| bluesnow | jonesn240: that returns 'network: unrecognized service' | 04:33 |
| jonesn420 | sorry just thought u knew /etc/init.d/networking restart | 04:33 |
| jonesn420 | try that | 04:33 |
| bluesnow | jonesn240: That returns "Running /etc/init.d/networking restart is deprecated because it may not enable again some interfaces" | 04:34 |
| bluesnow | Below that it says: Reconfiguring network interfaces... | 04:34 |
| jonesn420 | i havent setup a small server in about 5years just trying to remember the commands... dont even remember if running sudo in front helps with more or not | 04:35 |

| bluesnow | jonesn420: No, but I can make one. | 04:49 |
| bluesnow | ernic: Not sure, I haven't tried. | 04:49 |
| bluesnow | I just don't understand why I can ping DNS servers but not connect to websites, or use any programs with networking | 04:49 |
| jonesn420 | ok i will look for your name on there. just do a detailed network info report | 04:49 |
| bluesnow | jonesn420: Okay, thanks. | 04:49 |

| jonesn420 | never messed with it | 04:51 |
| jonesn420 | but i know a FAIR bit ammount of networking. | 04:51 |

| jonesn420 | yeah ull just get the best exposure there on ubuntuforums.com | 04:52 |
| jonesn420 | later | 04:52 |
| erncic | bluesnow: you can ping, but not resolve? | 04:53 |
| bluesnow | erncic: Yes. Pinging 4.2.2.5 or 8.8.8.8 (google's DNS server) works fine. | 04:53 |
| bluesnow | erncic: Apparently, the VPN I connected to yesterday messes with the routing table (and maybe other network stuff?), but I've tried resetting everything. | 04:53 |
| bluesnow | Still no networking though.. | 04:53 |
| erncic | bluesnow: what does route get 8.8.8.8 give you? | 04:55 |

| erncic | bluesnow: I got to tell you, I am at a loss now with that showing up. | 05:28 |
| somsip | MacLaddy: if your Vista partition fills the drive, maybe easier to put ubuntu on 1TB. Though it's nothing but preference and how much fiddling about you need to do to set it up how you want it | 05:28 |
| bluesnow | erncic: This is strange because other people in my office have connected to the same VPN without this much trouble. | 05:28 |
| smacktalk | somsip I don't like remina...doesn't work that great | 05:28 |
| bluesnow | erncic: They said the VPN messed with their routing tables, but it was fine after disconnecting and restarting. | 05:28 |
| somsip | smacktalk: ok | 05:28 |
| bluesnow | I seem to have tried everything though. | 05:29 |
| erncic | bluesnow: you can do a 'route flush' to clear the routing tables, but that does not take into account a dig failure like that. | 05:29 |
| bluesnow | erncic: route flush returns flushing 'inet' routing table not supported. | 05:30 |
| MacLaddy | Thank you, somsip. Second question. I would like to make a small partition next on the same HDD as Ubuntu just for playing with other versions. Triple boot. If I do this, can Ubuntu and the second Linux OS share programs, or must they each have their own? | 05:30 |
| bluesnow | erncic: It took about a minute before the GET /index.html HTTP/1.1 returned 'Can't connect to HTTP:80 (bad hostname)' | 05:31 |
| erncic | bluesnow: what does just 'route' return…. it should be your default gateway unless you are running something more complex on this box. | 05:31 |
| somsip | MacLaddy: separate programs. they can share some data (media) but you're probably asking if you try to share program data (config files, etc). File syatem layouts can vary from distro to distro and different package versions too | 05:31 |
| somsip | *asking too much | 05:31 |
| bluesnow | erncic: It returns Kernel IP Routing Table, and routing table headers below that. The table is completely empty. | 05:32 |
| MacLaddy | Thanks somsip. | 05:32 |
| somsip | MacLaddy: np | 05:32 |
| doctorly | is it possible to rollback my kernel to the previous kernel?? | 05:32 |
| erncic | bluesnow: no default route at all? | 05:33 |
| bluesnow | erncic: No, I don't see any. | 05:33 |
| bluesnow | Just Kernel IP Routing Table, routing table headers below that, and nothing else. | 05:33 |
| bluesnow | The headers are like 'Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface' | 05:33 |
| erncic | bluesnow: ok, are you using a dynamic or static ip? | 05:34 |
| bluesnow | erncic: Dynamic | 05:34 |
| somsip | doctorly: temporarily or permanent? | 05:34 |
| bluesnow | erncic: The routers at my home/office assign my laptop IP addresses, I think. | 05:35 |

| === Guest88425 is now known as MrSalt | ||
| erncic | bluesnow: cannot ping now? | 05:58 |
| bluesnow | erncic: I can still ping DNS servers. | 05:58 |
| erncic | bluesnow: ok, I thought we had moved backwards. | 05:59 |
| bluesnow | erncic: Thankfully not. | 05:59 |
| erncic | bluesnow: exactly. | 05:59 |
| bluesnow | erncic: Wait, my routing table now shows in the first column | 06:00 |
| bluesnow | Destination: default Gateway: my laptop name Genmask: 0.0.0.0 Flags: UG .. | 06:00 |
| bluesnow | Not sure why it's showing 'my laptop name' under Gateway | 06:00 |
| erncic | bluesnow: your laptop name would be wrong… | 06:01 |
| bluesnow | erncic: Yeah, I think so. | 06:01 |
| bluesnow | erncic: sudo route add default via x.x.x.x returns Usage: ... | 06:02 |
| bluesnow | So I guess that didn't work? | 06:02 |
| bluesnow | It should return something else on success, right? | 06:02 |
| erncic | bluesnow: yes, we want route add default gw x.x.x.x | 06:04 |
| bluesnow | Just tried, 'sudo ip route add default via x.x.x.x', and that returned RTNETLINK answers: file exists | 06:04 |
| bluesnow | erncic: That command returns 'SIOCADDRT: File exists' | 06:04 |
| erncic | bluesnow: you have a default route. 'route del default' and then route add default gw x.x.x.x | 06:06 |
| bluesnow | erncic: Okay, be right back while I try the internet. | 06:06 |
| stinktoad | hello...i have a small question | 06:07 |
| stinktoad | my wired connection does not read anything..it says device not managed | 06:08 |
| stinktoad | how can I get it to show that I am connected | 06:08 |
| stinktoad | or how can I get it to recognize my ethernet connection | 06:10 |
| stinktoad | anyone? | 06:10 |
| bluesnow | erncic: Doing sudo route add default gw x.x.x.x is adding my computer's name under 'Gateway' in the 'default' row | 06:10 |
| bluesnow | I'm getting x.x.x.x from Edit connections -> wireless -> my connection -> IPv4 Settings -> Gateway | 06:11 |
| bluesnow | So I'm not sure why it adds my computer's name under gateway.. | 06:11 |
| erncic | bluesnow: it should not be your laptop name, it should be the gateway address or the gateway's name… | 06:12 |
| bluesnow | erncic: Yeah, but it keeps adding my laptop's name. | 06:13 |
| bluesnow | erncic: Maybe the VPN I connected to did that as a hack? | 06:13 |
| bluesnow | :( | 06:13 |
| erncic | bluesnow: if it is your laptop name, all external requests should loop back to yourself and not go anywhere…. kind of like you are having, but your pings would die too, I would expect. | 06:13 |
| bluesnow | ernic: Hmm, not sure. My pings are working.. | 06:14 |
| felipe_Brz | i'm running 11.04 and I would like to stop the window switcher (alt+tab) from grouping similar windows (like many terminal instances) under one group... anyone know how to do that? | 06:15 |
| Panda000 | Hey hab nen kleines Problem. Bin noch relativ neu in Linux und jetzt hat sich bei meinem einen Acc der Bildschirm "aufgehangen" nach neustart / abmelden öffnet sich immer die alte Sitzung und ich kann die Programme weder schließen noch irgendwo schreiben ... hab dann im Terminal nen neuen acc erstellt und da läuft auch alles einwandfrei .. | 06:15 |
| erncic | Bluesnow: I am thinking the default gateway is wrong, but I don't have any idea what it should be. | 06:15 |
| bluesnow | erncic: It should be my router's IP address, right? | 06:19 |

| erncic | bluesnow: yes. | 06:19 |
| bluesnow | Which seems to be what I'm trying to do, except it keeps adding my computer's name | 06:19 |
| anand | woaaaahhh | 06:20 |
| stinktoad | my wired connection does not read anything..it says device not managed | 06:22 |
| anand | Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! | 06:22 |
| stinktoad | how can I get it to recognize my ethernet connection | 06:22 |
| erncic | bluesnow: lets try and grab a new lease from dns and see if we can get a good gateway from dhcp… should have started here, but …. sudo dhclient -r | 06:23 |
| erncic | dns=dhcp | 06:23 |
| stinktoad | erncic, could you help me with this when you get a chance? | 06:24 |
| bluesnow | erncic: What do I do after sudo dhclient -r? The command doesn't return anything. | 06:24 |
| erncic | stinktoad: dynamic or static ip? | 06:24 |
| stinktoad | I would like to set it up as static | 06:24 |
| erncic | bluesnow: that should have released your current ip lease and grabbed a new one. check your routes | 06:24 |
| bluesnow | erncic: Okay, be right back. | 06:25 |
| stinktoad | i run ifcong in terminal | 06:25 |
| stinktoad | and get my eth0 | 06:25 |
| erncic | stinktoad: I do not think the interface will be "managed" if it is static. | 06:25 |
| stinktoad | oh.. | 06:25 |
| stinktoad | well I guess as long as I have connection it works | 06:26 |
| stinktoad | so I shouldnt worry about it I take it | 06:27 |
| stinktoad | but I am not runnin static right now | 06:27 |
| voxcroix | hi. | 06:27 |
| bluesnow | erncic: Okay, I did that. My routing table shows one row, with | 06:28 |
| bluesnow | Destination: 192.188.188.0, Gateway: *, Genmask: 255.255.255.0, Flags: U, Metric: 0, Ref: 0, Use: 0, Iface: eth0 | 06:28 |
| stinktoad | well thanks erncic .. | 06:28 |
| bluesnow | That's the only row in my routing table. | 06:28 |
| erncic | bluesnow: what works and what does not... | 06:29 |
| voxcroix | hi. | 06:29 |
| erncic | stinktoad: sorry, the gui end is not my strength. | 06:29 |
| bluesnow | erncic: Be right back, I'll test again. | 06:29 |
| === mike_ is now known as Guest93857 | ||
| bluesnow | erncic: Same situation still. ping works, pinging DNS works, no browser, no telnet, no GET /index.html | 06:32 |
| bluesnow | erncic: I still don't have a default route to my gateway though. | 06:33 |
| erncic | bluesnow: at a loss. | 06:33 |
| bluesnow | erncic: The lack of a default route to my gateway would cause problems, right? | 06:34 |
| ouyes | Is it possible to disable the screen saver when you are playing a movie??? | 06:36 |
| erncic | bluesnow: I would have thought so before tonight, but the pinging of 8.8.8.8 tells us that somehow, those packets are being routed out of your network and are getting back in. how and via what route ??? does a 'traceroute 8.8.8.8' a) work and b) give up your gateway ip... | 06:36 |
| bluesnow | erncic: Let me try that. | 06:36 |
| === l057c0d3r_ is now known as l057c0d3r | ||
| bluesnow | erncic: Unfortunately I don't have traceroute installed.. | 06:41 |
| bluesnow | erncic: Ping 8.8.8.8 is definitely working. | 06:41 |
| erncic | bluesnow: the computer you are on now… same network? | 06:41 |
| bluesnow | erncic: well ping is working from both computers. | 06:42 |
| bluesnow | And they're going to the same gateway (same network) | 06:42 |
| erncic | bluesnow: was wondering what it was showing for the gateway. | 06:43 |
| erncic | bluesnow: got it | 06:43 |
| smilejayark | ... | 06:43 |
| bluesnow | erncic: I just ran traceroute 8.8.8.8 on the computer I'm on. How do I find the gateway it's going through? | 06:43 |
| jonesn420 | hi | 06:44 |
| jonesn420 | using lubuntu, mouse pointer dissapeared and in middle of video conversion which takes an hour. anyone know if there is a way to get it back instead of restarting after conversion done? | 06:44 |
| smilejayark | hi, there?? | 06:44 |
| jonesn420 | it happened after went idle | 06:44 |
| erncic | bluesnow: first hop is the default | 06:45 |
| jonesn420 | bluesnow, did u find a fix | 06:45 |
| bluesnow | erncic Next to '1', it says 192.188.188.1 | 06:45 |
| erncic | bluesnow: (or it should be) | 06:45 |
| bluesnow | 192.188.188.1 is the IP I was trying to add as the gateway for default, but it kept adding my laptop's name | 06:45 |
| bluesnow | jonesn240: Nope, still trying to fix it. | 06:46 |
| jonesn420 | ok i got a prob right now myself lol mouse dissapeared in middle of working stuff | 06:46 |
| jonesn420 | did u post on the forums yet bluesnow | 06:46 |
| erncic | bluesnow: hmmm. head scratcher for sure. | 06:47 |
| bluesnow | jonesn240: Not yet. | 06:47 |
| lcabreza | question: anybody has a way to use RhEL's plytmouth or boot screen ? instead of the default on ubuntu ? | 06:47 |
| erncic | bluesnow: post it to the forum….. that is your best bet. | 06:47 |
| bluesnow | erncic: Yeah. Any idea why adding 192.188.188.1 as the default gw would result in my laptop's name? | 06:48 |
| bluesnow | That doesn't seem to make any sense at all. | 06:48 |
| erncic | bluesnow: the only thing I can think of is a) a dns entry for 192.188.188.1 with your laptop's name, b) an ip conflict with the default gateway (not likely) … | 06:49 |
| erncic | bluesnow: an /etc/hosts entry. | 06:50 |
| bluesnow | let me check that | 06:50 |
| jim_ | hi, any way to get youtube vids to play in firefox? fresh 12.04 install, and pretty new to linux | 06:50 |
| bluesnow | erncic: Looks like the VPN I connected to modified that file. | 06:51 |
| zombifier | jim_ : Did you install Flash? It's part of the restricted-extras | 06:51 |
| erncic | bluesnow:… meaning …. | 06:51 |
| bluesnow | erncic: I have, BEGIN hosts added by Network Connect 157.166.164.222 ework-atl.turner.com | 06:51 |
| bluesnow | well, I'm not sure what else is supposed to be in that file | 06:51 |
| bluesnow | I've never opened that file before | 06:51 |
| Phaba | will changing /proc/sys/kernal/randomize_va_space from 1 to 0 make me more vulnerable to explits? | 06:51 |
| jim_ | not directly, but checked the 3rd party box when I installed - which version should I install? | 06:51 |
| Phaba | exploits* | 06:51 |
| Phaba | jim_, chrome has a built in flash player i think | 06:52 |
| jim_ | it's for an old neighbor who uses firefox, don't want to add chrome to the confusion | 06:53 |
| Phaba | jim_, ithink you can download it through the software center | 06:53 |
| OerHeks | jim_, install ubuntu restricted extras for flash, openjdk and codecs | 06:54 |
| erncic | bluesnow: it usually has an entry for 127.0.0.1 localhost and if static ip, a second line with the static ip to the hostname map, and then some ipv6 stuff below that. It can contain other stuff if needed, but usually the first two lines are what I was interested in. | 06:54 |
| jim_ | are those restricted extras in a single package? | 06:54 |
| OerHeks | !restricted | 06:54 |
| ubottu | For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/media.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 06:54 |
| OerHeks | jim_, yes, one metapackage to get them all | 06:54 |
| bluesnow | erncic: Yeah it has 127.0.0.1 localhost, and 127.0.0.1 my_computer_name | 06:55 |
| erncic | bluesnow: those are expected and not a problem. | 06:55 |
| jim_ | not great at ubuntu yet - how would I get that metapackage, please? | 06:55 |
| bluesnow | my /etc/resolv.conf also has search turner.com and nameserver x.x.x.x and nameserver x.x.x.x | 06:55 |
| bluesnow | Not sure if the 'search turner.com' should be there | 06:55 |
| OerHeks | jim_, open softwarecentre, and typ " restricted " | 06:56 |
| jim_ | ah, found it - tyty | 06:56 |
| erncic | bluesnow: that file is not your problem. the dig command we used 'dig @8.8.8.8 google.com', the @8.8.8.8 forced the nameserver, ignoring /etc/resolv.conf. | 06:57 |
| === viiiiiiiiiii is now known as Cherry-Vanilla | ||
| bluesnow | erncic: Right. The VPN seems to have edited quite a few of my networking related files though. | 06:59 |
| bluesnow | erncic: Wait, you didn't tell me to run dig earlier. | 06:59 |
| bluesnow | Let me try that. | 06:59 |
| jim_ | was not prompted for a system restart after installing restricted extras, but still no youtube vids - could a restart help? | 07:01 |
| bluesnow | erncic: dig @8.8.8.8 google.com does work | 07:01 |
| OerHeks | jim_, yes, restart could help, at least restart your browser | 07:01 |
| bluesnow | erncic: It returns (1 server found) and an Answer Section with google.com IN A x.x.x.x | 07:01 |
| bluesnow | So dig is working. | 07:01 |
| bluesnow | I'm not sure what that means though. | 07:01 |
| jim_ | had already restarted browser, so system next - let's hope I don't end up back here. thanks again | 07:02 |
| erncic | bluesnow: good to know. means dns through a forced dns server is working. does 'dig google.com' fail? | 07:02 |
| cache_za | for flash i just installed flashplugin-installer | 07:02 |
| bluesnow | erncic: Let me try. | 07:03 |
| xpistos | Hello all. | 07:04 |
| bluesnow | erncic: Yeah, dig google.com fails. It times out. | 07:04 |
| bluesnow | erncic: I think they edited my etc/resolv.conf file, which might be the problem (?) | 07:05 |
| xpistos | Would a bad ethernet cable cause firefox and chrome to be unable to connect to anywebsite but still be able to ping the same website? | 07:05 |
| erncic | bluesnow: now, those /etc/resolv.conf entries become important… you got it. | 07:05 |
| ikonia | xpistos: no | 07:05 |
| bluesnow | erncic: /etc/resolv.conf should be DNS server addresses, right? | 07:05 |
| Phaba | will changing /proc/sys/kernal/randomize_va_space from 1 to 0 make me more vulnerable to exploits? | 07:05 |
| xpistos | Ok, I am lost then. My wife's computer is hard connected to the router the same as my home server but her computer goes through days where it will not connect | 07:06 |
| Phaba | xpistos, sounds more like a dns issue | 07:06 |
| ikonia | doesn't sound like dns | 07:06 |
| erncic | bluesnow: technically for a dhcp assigned address that file should say "don't edit this file", but it has been edited. | 07:06 |
| ikonia | as the same website can be pinged | 07:06 |
| Phaba | ikonia, depends if he's pinging the ip of the website | 07:07 |
| ikonia | are your browsers set wrongly to use a proxy | 07:07 |
| ikonia | Phaba: he said website, he didn't say ip | 07:07 |
| erncic | bluesnow: so lets just fix the dns extras to something we know works …. 8.8.8.8 etc | 07:07 |
| xpistos | uh I don't think so but I will check | 07:07 |
| ikonia | I don't suggest randomly changing your dns servers | 07:07 |
| erncic | bluesnow: comment out the name servers added by the vpn first. | 07:08 |
| ikonia | and /etc/resolv.conf is not where you need to set the dns servers, with the ubuntu dnsmasq setup | 07:08 |
| xpistos | okay. here box is dhcp | 07:08 |
| xpistos | with an reserved address on the router | 07:08 |
| ikonia | xpistos: dynampic/static ip doesn't matter | 07:08 |
| erncic | bluesnow: and try the dig command without adding anything. | 07:08 |
| xpistos | i am checking dns vs ip now | 07:08 |
| ikonia | xpistos: so when you "ping" the website are you pinging the url or ip | 07:09 |
| xpistos | in her browswer if I put the router ip it won't come up | 07:09 |
| bluesnow | erncic: okay, trying now. | 07:09 |
| ikonia | xpistos: answer the question | 07:09 |
| xpistos | I was checking | 07:09 |
| xpistos | I put the url and it pings | 07:09 |
| ikonia | xpistos: answer the question | 07:10 |
| ikonia | xpistos: what url are you pinging | 07:10 |
| xpistos | right now google.com | 07:10 |
| ikonia | xpistos: what ip does it resolve to | 07:10 |
| ikonia | xpistos: (you should see it in theping output) | 07:10 |
| xpistos | 74.125.140.138 | 07:10 |
| ikonia | xpistos: ok, so that loks valid | 07:11 |
| ikonia | "looks" | 07:11 |
| ikonia | xpistos: what IP address are you putting in the browser to try to get to the router | 07:12 |
| xpistos | I have set to 11.10.19.1 | 07:12 |
| xpistos | and I can ssh into her computer from my laptop | 07:12 |
| bluesnow | erncic: It works! | 07:13 |
| bluesnow | erncic: Had to add DNS servers to my /etc/resolv.conf file | 07:13 |
| bluesnow | Whew | 07:13 |
| ikonia | xpistos: can you please show me the output of netstat -rn | 07:13 |
| ikonia | xpistos: use a pastebin | 07:13 |
| xpistos | sure. one sec | 07:13 |
| bluesnow | erncic: Wow, I feel like I learned a lot. And that's a really scary VPN :( | 07:13 |
| asarch | An off-topic question: anyone in Germany? | 07:13 |

| jim_ | hi again - still no luck playing youtube vids after installing restricted package | 07:15 |
| ikonia | xpistos: ok, that looks good, so it really suggests the browsers are trying to use a proxy | 07:15 |
| xpistos | Checking now | 07:15 |
| ikonia | (a proxy which doesn't exist) | 07:16 |
| jim_ | any other ideas to get flash videos to work? | 07:17 |
| xpistos | ok for some reason chrome had use system proxy settings so I put it back to no proxy and restarted FF but now change | 07:17 |
| xpistos | I will look in the network to make sure there isn't a proxy somehere | 07:18 |
| xpistos | okay under network proxy the method is set to none | 07:19 |

| xpistos | Nope no proxy either | 07:28 |
| xpistos | ikonia: Basically firefox says the connection timed out if I let it sit | 07:32 |
| xpistos1 | I tried testing the router for giggles. no change | 07:34 |
| Unifx | stupid question, have you tried going to tools then check the connections tab and make sure that it is on obtain ip automaticly | 07:36 |
| xpistos1 | I have no idea here. The wireless connection from my laptop is fine. My homeserver has no problems and it is also hard connected | 07:37 |
| xpistos1 | Unifx: Yes. I use address reservations on the router. | 07:38 |
| xpistos1 | if I couldn't ping anything or if I couldn't ssh into her box I would say bad port, bad cable what have you but I can do those things but something is not allowing it to connect to the router | 07:39 |
| xpistos1 | ??? | 07:39 |
| xpistos1 | and the router sees it in attached devices | 07:40 |
| Unifx | "into her box" is all i saw | 07:42 |
| xpistos1 | Hell even my plex media manager works fine. There has to be something going on with the browser or somethign | 07:42 |
| Unifx | so you have checked the firefox proxy right | 07:43 |
| xpistos1 | if I couldn't ping anything or if I couldn't ssh into her box I would say bad port, bad cable what have you but I can do those things but something is not allowing it to connect to the router | 07:43 |
| xpistos1 | Unifx: yes, it is set to none | 07:43 |
| Unifx | and you can set up a sock proxy at all> | 07:43 |
| xpistos1 | I am not sure how to do that so I generally don't try | 07:44 |
| xpistos1 | I have used ssh tunnel before but that is only out of necessity and she doesn't need it on her box | 07:44 |
| Unifx | yeah you just need like putty on urs and to set firefox;s sock proxy but only reason i sugest that is to test firefox itself | 07:45 |

| A[D]minS | How i can force the system to utilize the full capacity of memory. | 07:46 |
| aeon-ltd | !pae | 07:46 |
| ubottu | To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 07:46 |

| A[D]minS | The generic default kernel already has PAE enabled. | 07:47 |
| xpistos1 | Unifx: I can do that to check | 07:47 |
| xpistos1 | is putty in the repos | 07:48 |
| Unifx | if not sudo apt-get install putty | 07:48 |
| xpistos1 | I must have already installed t | 07:48 |
| xpistos1 | so I guess I should putty to the server and use that as an ssh tunnel and then set firefox to use that as the proxy? | 07:49 |
| Unifx | yeah just open putty set the ip and port then the tunnel port | 07:49 |
| Unifx | then set firefox proxy as a sock ip of 127.0.0.1:what ever port u set | 07:50 |
| xpistos1 | destination should be home? | 07:51 |
| Unifx | yeah | 07:52 |
| Unifx | bounces off putty | 07:52 |
| A[D]minS | I love ubuntu :) | 07:52 |
| A[D]minS | have a good day/night everybody | 07:53 |
| xpistos1 | ok the tunnel is up now let me set FF | 07:53 |
| Unifx | make sure you only set the sock port | 07:54 |
| xpistos1 | well that is different. I don't think I have it set right cause right away it say proxy server is refrusion connections | 07:54 |
| Unifx | and ip | 07:54 |
| xpistos1 | right | 07:54 |
| Unifx | um yeah that is wierd | 07:55 |
| xpistos1 | okay so in ff i have socks host as home and port as same port in putty 4567 | 07:55 |
| Unifx | yeah | 07:55 |
| xpistos1 | let me recheck putty | 07:55 |
| Unifx | then save | 07:55 |
| xpistos1 | in putty ssh tunnel | 07:56 |
| xpistos1 | I set the source port as 4567 | 07:56 |
| xpistos1 | and destination as the server's ip but it says I have to save it as host.name:port so I add the port to the ip so its says 11.10.19.100:4567 | 07:57 |
| Unifx | heads up you shouldnt post that lol | 07:58 |
| Unifx | ok so when setting up the tunel | 07:59 |
| Unifx | dont use a servers ip | 07:59 |
| Unifx | use a port only and change it to dynamic | 07:59 |
| Unifx | then when you click add | 07:59 |
| Unifx | oit should look like | 07:59 |

| FaeLLe | :/ | 08:00 |

| Unifx | everything works accept your own fire fox with out a proxy | 08:03 |
| Unifx | so your pings work> | 08:03 |
| xpistos1 | yes pings worked | 08:03 |
| Unifx | so your http is up | 08:03 |
| xpistos1 | so now the next is how do I get it to work without the ssh tunnel | 08:04 |
| Unifx | and have you tried other browsers | 08:04 |
| agunghario | exit | 08:04 |

| fedor | hi there, I am interested in knowing, why when i am copying files to my android-smartphone (via usb-cable) i am getting something that is corrupted, thus i am left without files needed, when I really need them. Is it connected with the file system, or is it just that i am unlucky? | 08:05 |
| xpistos1 | Unifx: LOL. Wierd. I killed the putty session | 08:06 |
| xpistos1 | firefox does not work, but chrome is still working | 08:06 |
| DavidScherer | when I do `ssh user@host -p PORT` I keep getting the message "connection closed by IP". This is only happening on my Desktop (Ubuntu 12 LTS) but not on my Android phone, both using the same Internet connection. On the target VM, the connection is going through fine and there are no firewall issues, but it shows as though I am closing the connection. | 08:06 |
| xpistos1 | I know chrome uses the network default | 08:06 |
| DavidScherer | Any ideas on how to fix this or what is even wrong? | 08:06 |
| mal10c | anyone know how to change the default desktop to fluxbox in ubuntu 12.10 via terminal? | 08:06 |
| xpistos1 | turn off the proxy in FF and now it is working without putty session up too??? | 08:07 |
| Unifx | :) | 08:08 |
| Unifx | so putty is closed | 08:08 |
| Unifx | and all working | 08:08 |
| xpistos1 | yes | 08:08 |
| xpistos1 | this is crazy | 08:08 |
| Unifx | yeah thought so | 08:08 |
| Unifx | some times it has a few bigs | 08:08 |
| DavidScherer | Oh, and it only seems to happen for one specific user. If I try with another_user@host I get a login prompt. | 08:08 |

| xpistos1 | uni4dfx: well it is still doing messing up with the ssh tunnel | 08:17 |
| DavidScherer | Okay, doing ssh -vvv User@Host -p Port shows that right before the connection closes I see it debug1: Offering RSA public key: /home/david/.ssh/id_rsa ::: debug3: send_pubkey_test ::: debug2: we sent a publickey packet, wait for reply | 08:17 |

| sons_of_satan | [Myrtti] thanks | 10:01 |
| david_ | joey8: So no, different, remote server. Would a ssh -vvv help? | 10:01 |
| cousteau | for what I could understand, the problem with sudo is that it doesn't change $HOME to /root, thus messing the user config files | 10:02 |
| cousteau | however `sudo -H` exports HOME=/root | 10:02 |
| thermion | good to know... | 10:02 |
| david_ | cousteau: What about just su to root until you're done? I mean, it's an extra step...but? | 10:02 |
| david_ | cousteau: Ahhh, very good to know indeed. :) | 10:03 |
| cousteau | su root is safe as well? (`sudo su` I guess) | 10:03 |
| Myrtti | not really | 10:03 |
| david_ | I didn't say it was safe. | 10:03 |
| david_ | I'm just under the impression when you su a user $home changes. | 10:04 |
| cousteau | I mean safe regarding $HOME | 10:04 |

| david_ | I wish magic could fix my SSH, I'd have phoned the neighborhood weirdo that does raindances. | 10:05 |
| Myrtti | cousteau, david_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo explains some good and bad options | 10:05 |
| cousteau | joekoocc1_, not sure what you mean, but when you plug an FTDI USB device, a /dev/ttyUSB* or /dev/ttyACM* device will appear | 10:06 |
| david_ | mobhero: I think you should ask tomcat people, or browse the tomcat docs, or maybe check to see if Apt or Yum or whatever your fav PKG manager has it. | 10:06 |
| cousteau | my idea was to alias sudo to `sudo -H` by default. | 10:06 |
| guestLinx | which is he best tool for Linux to convert video file to AVI DIVX ? | 10:07 |
| david_ | cousteau: That may not be a good idea. | 10:07 |
| cousteau | I proposed that idea to brainstorm and it was blatantly rejected | 10:07 |
| david_ | You usually only need sudo to do commands that require elevated permissions is certain areas. | 10:07 |
| cousteau | guestLinx, are you aware of the fuzziness of the word "best"? | 10:08 |
| guestLinx | cousteau: easiest and more efficient | 10:08 |
| david_ | So if you're installing something as a User BOB, with sudo, instead of stuff going into BOB's home directory, it'll go to root. | 10:08 |
| cousteau | guestLinx, some will suggest you ffmpeg, or winff, or mencoder, or avidemux, or another video editor | 10:09 |
| guestLinx | ok | 10:09 |
| cousteau | david_, shouldn't it? | 10:09 |
| david_ | guestLinx: Your best option is to Google search, a bunch of different blog entries and stuff will pop up arguing the features and benefits of several in each post. | 10:09 |
| david_ | The "Best" is the one that has everything you need. | 10:09 |
| cousteau | "easiest" is also a fuzzy word | 10:09 |
| david_ | cousteau: Shouldn't what? | 10:10 |
| vitimiti | o/ | 10:10 |
| cousteau | and it sometimes conflict with "most efficient" | 10:10 |
| cousteau | david_, put stuff on /root rather than ~user | 10:10 |
| david_ | Depends. | 10:10 |
| cousteau | also, if it puts stuff on ~user it will do so with root as owner | 10:11 |
| cousteau | I'm not sure, but I think everything on ~user should belong to user | 10:11 |
| david_ | If I'm writing an install script, good practice is to have the app you're installing be ran as a non-system, non-root user. The files should also be owned by the same user. | 10:11 |
| david_ | For the most part, I only want the install script ran with SUDO so I can add files to places I normally might not be able to or to change permissions for something I'm setting up. | 10:12 |
| david_ | I'd be writing this install script assuming $home points to the user's home folder I'm installing the program to run as, rather than the Root/system user. | 10:13 |
| cousteau | non-sudo for local install (e.g. ~/program/) and sudo for /usr/local/ | 10:13 |
| cousteau | or /opt/ | 10:13 |
| cousteau | david_, but if ran with sudo, the user that is doing the install is root | 10:13 |
| cousteau | casted by the user | 10:13 |
| david_ | I think sudo not changing the $home variable by default is wholly intentional and to good purpose. | 10:14 |
| cousteau | you never see superman doing superman stuff dressed as clark kent | 10:14 |
| david_ | cousteau: But the files are still OWNED by the user running the script. | 10:14 |
| david_ | They're just doing it with superuser permissions. | 10:14 |
| cousteau | david_, if sudo writes something, its owner will be root | 10:14 |
| david_ | And still relative to the user who's running the script's home directory. | 10:15 |
| thermion | how uses realtive paths in an installer?? | 10:15 |
| thermion | *relative | 10:16 |
| cousteau | david_, actually the INSTALL script should not touch the user CONFIGURATION | 10:16 |
| david_ | cousteau: And that can be changed by the script, but if it's placed in the wrong folder, ie a sub-dirctory of /home/root/something and it should be in /home/bob/something you have other problems. | 10:16 |
| cousteau | so it should either go to ./ or to an install path | 10:16 |
| david_ | Suffice it to say I merely think aliasing sudo to sudo -h by default is not a great idea. | 10:16 |
| cousteau | so to $PWD and not to $HOME | 10:16 |
| sadf | OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG AUTRALIA IS DOOMMMMMMMM ----> http://i.imgur.com/Chm5B.jpg | 10:16 |
| cousteau | -H, not -h | 10:16 |
| david_ | It might not be wrong, or bad, but it could cause some un-expected side-effects. | 10:17 |
| cousteau | I think it would avoid a bunch of sudo-related errors | 10:17 |
| cousteau | and all those "nooo! don't use sudo for graphical things, use gksudo!" | 10:18 |
| david_ | Most of the "install" scripts I write are CLI php scripts used to take a fresh Clone from Git and move all the *.default files to their right places and all that and change directory permissions and stuff. | 10:18 |
| cousteau | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo#Graphical_sudo | 10:19 |
| cousteau | seems that the only problem with sudo vs gksudo is the $HOME thing | 10:19 |
| cousteau | david_, sudo installations should be system-wide and thus not touch a specific user's configuration | 10:20 |
| david_ | Right, anyway, I didn't really want to argue, I'm just saying I can think of instances where that alias may not be a great idea. | 10:20 |
| david_ | cousteau: Are you talking about an install done by a sudo install.sh ? | 10:21 |
| cousteau | we're not arguing! we're discussing. | 10:21 |
| david_ | Just because something "should" be a certain way doesn't mean it always is. | 10:22 |
| cousteau | david_, I'm talking about whatever install script you were talking about | 10:22 |
| david_ | Have you looked at browser compatibility lately? :P | 10:22 |
| david_ | I apparently break that rule all the time with my "install" scripts. | 10:23 |
| david_ | They're more like "get this setup like yesterday" scripts. | 10:23 |
| david_ | I hate clicking the refresh button wondering "What now?" | 10:24 |
| david_ | "Oh, I forgot to make templates_c writable. Oops." | 10:24 |

| e-v-o | How can I enable Unity 3D (at the moment it's 2D only) in Ubuntu 12.04 running on VirtulaBox? | 10:31 |
| david_ | e-v-o: Is the option available on the login screen? | 10:31 |
| e-v-o | david_: It doesn't appear to be, options are Ubuntu and Ubuntu 2D | 10:32 |

| david_ | e-v-o: Buying an MBP was your first mistake. :P But that is entirely another discussion altogether, however if you ever need a new one let me know. I have a laptop and some super glue laying around you could have. | 10:37 |
| david_ | Scratch that, I just found the Gorilla Glue. Much more effective. :D | 10:37 |
| e-v-o | david_: lol I would've bought a Ubuntu supported laptop if it wasn't for the Adobe software that I need for work. Besides, no laptop hardware comes close to the mbp build. | 10:39 |
| BlackDalek | What is a fool-proof way of finding the location of a file on my system? I can never get the nautilus file search to find anything | 10:39 |
| BlackDalek | how can I find a file in the filesystem? | 10:40 |
| david_ | e-v-o: Too bad it's glued in...so in <18 months, when hardware is twice as good, there's no possibility of an upgrade without another 1.5k. I like the Mac UI (to an extent) but the price tag and super glue is where I draw the line. The computer shop down the street can build me a Mac-ish specced laptop for less $$$ that I can upgrade. | 10:41 |
| e-v-o | david_: thanks for the links but they don't seem to be specific to my situation. | 10:41 |
| david_ | BlackDalek: Is it a common config file? I use google. (Like for finding hosts-enabled) | 10:41 |
| BlackDalek | is there some command which will search the entire filesystem for the file specified? | 10:41 |
| e-v-o | david_: that's not totally true, you can upgrade ram and hardisk, what else do you want on a laptop? | 10:42 |
| david_ | Otherwise I'm sure there's a REALLY cool, and crazy, command you could use to do what you want. | 10:42 |
| BlackDalek | david_, no, it is a specific file belonging to a program which I want to copy from one computer to another.. but I do not know its location | 10:42 |
| david_ | e-v-o: Really? I was under the impression that RAM and HDD in the MBP were glued in. | 10:42 |
| david_ | Huh. | 10:42 |
| Linpassion | hi | 10:42 |
| BlackDalek | david_, I know the exact name of the file, I just can't find it | 10:43 |
| david_ | My neighbor was groaning about it. | 10:43 |
| e-v-o | david_: nope, they never have. You do need to unscrew the bottom though :P | 10:43 |
| thermion | how about "find / -name [name_of_file]? | 10:43 |
| david_ | BlackDalek: try find filename | 10:43 |
| tempin | hi! i want to give ubuntu for ARMv7 a try, where can I search for available software for this particular platform? | 10:43 |
| e-v-o | BlackDalek: look up the Linux "find" command. | 10:43 |
| e-v-o | oops too late | 10:44 |
| alimj | e-v-o: Did you install Virtual-Box extensions already? Did you enable 3D support in Virtual-Box video setting? | 10:44 |
| Linpassion | there ise same user to know ho to change the purple screen on ubuntu 12.02 LTS, without using plymouth^? | 10:44 |
| david_ | e-v-o: http://macdailynews.com/2012/06/13/teardown-of-macbook-pro-with-retina-display-reveals-soldered-ram-glued-in-battery/ | 10:44 |
| e-v-o | alimj, yes I did. That was the first thing I did. | 10:44 |
| david_ | Linpassion: gnome-utils? | 10:45 |
| david_ | It's in the USC. | 10:45 |
| tempin | is there an online version of apt-cache search "software" specific for available packages for ARM? | 10:46 |
| e-v-o | david_: wasn't aware of that! mine's the previous model. I certainly won't be upgrading if it is true. | 10:46 |
| Linpassion | i'll try david | 10:47 |
| david_ | e-v-o: Pretty sure it is. My neighbor was groaning about it a while back, and so has a collegue that I used to work with complained that he should have saved 500 and bought a Best Buy laptop and super glue. | 10:47 |

| david_ | Does anyone have any idea what's wrong with my SSH? I can paste the ssh -vvv again if need be. | 10:48 |
| noregret | what package has add-apt-repository ? | 10:49 |
| david_ | noregret: ? | 10:49 |
| david_ | noregret: I thought that was an apt utility? | 10:49 |
| BlackDalek | how long does the "find" command usually take to search a 70gb filesystem? been sitting there for 5 minutes now.... | 10:50 |
| BlackDalek | Has it stalled? | 10:50 |
| david_ | BlackDalek: Not really sure? Probably depends on whether or not there's indexing and stuff. | 10:51 |
| david_ | Also depends on the how many files. | 10:52 |
| BlackDalek | david_, a whole bunch of permission denied errors are coming up - is there anyway I can force it to search those directories too? | 10:52 |
| david_ | And if you're searching just the file name. | 10:52 |
| lemonsparrow | I have ssh command like this $ ssh -l user -p 22 a@b.com how to add the proxy to this command ? | 10:52 |
| david_ | BlackDalek: sudo find | 10:52 |
| david_ | perhaps. | 10:52 |
| david_ | lemonsparrow: I don't think ssh utility itself supports a proxy, or at least there's nothing in the docs. | 10:53 |
| david_ | You can configure a base proxy to route all your traffic through from your computer, if you want. | 10:54 |
| david_ | No sure how though. | 10:54 |
| david_ | Or maybe there's a way to pipe to or from the ssh for a proxied connection. | 10:54 |
| lemonsparrow | david_: I am trying $ ssh -v -p 22 user@host.com and i get the error ssh: connect to host host.com port 22: Connection timed out | 10:56 |
| david_ | lemonsparrow: No idea what -v does. I use ssh user@host.com -p 1234 | 10:57 |
| david_ | lemonsparrow: And since port 22 is the default, you don't need it. | 10:58 |
| lemonsparrow | david_: and where do you set the proxy ? | 10:58 |
| david_ | Unless you're trying to SSH to a non-standard port. | 10:58 |
| david_ | lemonsparrow: I don't think you can with ssh. You'd probably have to do it via the system or a pipe somehow or something. Or SSH into a VM then SSH from the VM to somewhere else. | 10:59 |
| lemonsparrow | david_: I still get port 22: Connection timed out | 10:59 |
| david_ | Can you ping the IP you're trying to reach? Is it the right port? | 11:00 |
| david_ | Is there really an SSHd server running on the target machine for you to connect to? | 11:01 |
| lemonsparrow | david_: I am trying to ssh into a public server | 11:01 |
| david_ | Connecting from a proxy probably won't resolve you not being able to connect. | 11:01 |
| david_ | But I don't know. | 11:01 |
| david_ | Anyway, I need to go afk for a bit. | 11:02 |

| cousteau | Ann-Mariya, 2012 | 11:24 |
| XATRIX | Ann-Mariya, It's a firewall command to deny network access of gvfsd | 11:24 |
| Ann-Mariya | XATRIX:iptables v1.4.12: invalid port/service `PORT_THAT_USES_gvfsd_http' specified | 11:25 |
| Ann-Mariya | Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information. | 11:25 |
| Ann-Mariya | This is what I got | 11:25 |
| Snurre86 | I installed det aditional beta driver from nvidia and the pc diden't boot so i typed "sudo apt-get --pure remove nvidia-*" but i want to install another beta driver i know works. But it don't looks as if it is completely uinstalled | 11:25 |
| XATRIX | Ann-Mariya, ofcource... PORT_THAT... is a thing you have to change on the real value | 11:26 |
| XATRIX | Ann-Mariya, are you really using network shares through the internet ? | 11:27 |
| Ann-Mariya | XATRIX: plz 4ward the actual command...u know ladies are not gud in computers | 11:28 |
| Ann-Mariya | XATRIX, I just use internet to browse and chat !!! | 11:29 |
| XATRIX | Ann-Mariya, ok, let's do it from the start. Why do you want to block it ? :) | 11:30 |
| Ann-Mariya | XATRIX, It slows down my internet | 11:30 |
| XATRIX | Can you give me the output of: sudo netstat -tup | grep gvfsd | 11:31 |
| xatr0z | XATRIX: i dont like your nick, my hilight goes nuts :P:P | 11:31 |
| MonkeyDust | Ann-Mariya please don't say 4ward and gud, better use the actual words | 11:31 |
| XATRIX | :) | 11:31 |
| XATRIX | MonkeyDust, don't buy computers for the ladies next time ;) | 11:32 |
| Ann-Mariya | XATRIX, terminal doesn't gave any o/p | 11:33 |
| XATRIX | Ann-Mariya, you have to do it from root account ! | 11:33 |
| Ann-Mariya | k | 11:33 |
| Ann-Mariya | XATRIX, the same | 11:34 |
| XATRIX | Can you give me the output of: sudo netstat -tup | 11:34 |
| XATRIX | Any ESTABLISHED connections from gvfsd ? | 11:35 |
| Ann-Mariya | XATRIX, let me notify that this time my firewall shows that, gvfsd-http is not connected | 11:35 |
| XATRIX | Ann-Mariya, block it with your firewall - the simpliest way | 11:35 |
| Ann-Mariya | XATRIX, I am using firestarter | 11:35 |
| XATRIX | Ann-Mariya, no idea what is it :) | 11:36 |
| Ann-Mariya | XATRIX, well how can I block it ? | 11:36 |
| XATRIX | Ann-Mariya, Can you do it with your firewall ? | 11:38 |
| XATRIX | By the way , are you from India ? | 11:38 |
| Ann-Mariya | XATRIX, no option for that | 11:38 |
| XATRIX | Should be , any firewall must have this option to | 11:38 |
| ironhalik | When hibernating, swap partition has to be equal or larger then my RAM size? | 11:39 |
| Ann-Mariya | XATRIX,k . u have been most helpful | 11:39 |
| MonkeyDust | ironhalik better larger | 11:39 |
| XATRIX | Ann-Mariya, you can also try to find the executable with : locate gvfsd-http and remove it , if you don't use the network shares | 11:40 |
| ironhalik | MonkeyDust: can I hibernate with a swap file? I would need to repartition my ssd after latest upgrade | 11:40 |
| SkyRocknRoll | Hi | 11:40 |
| Ann-Mariya | XATRIX, what is this n/w share, i don't understand | 11:40 |
| SkyRocknRoll | There is a hot debate going on in my office now regarding which os ( ubuntu or debian ) should be used in our new server ? | 11:41 |
| XATRIX | Ann-Mariya, Ubuntu has some functionality to share files, or whatever media between people over internet... If you don't use it, you don't need gvfs | 11:41 |
| ironhalik | Wikimedia runs on ubuntu :) | 11:41 |
| SkyRocknRoll | any point to support for ubuntu i will appreciate :) | 11:41 |
| MonkeyDust | ironhalik i have not enough ewperience with hibernation, to know such things | 11:41 |
| Ann-Mariya | XATRIX, well i don't need it | 11:42 |
| fidel_ | SkyRocknRoll: this channel is offering technical support - not propaganda | 11:42 |
| XATRIX | Ann-Mariya, remove it ;) | 11:42 |
| fidel_ | ;) | 11:42 |
| ironhalik | MonkeyDust: Nevermind. I'll check the docs, I think there was something there about it. | 11:42 |
| sw | SkyRocknRoll It doesn't work like that, you use whatever is best for the organisation, depending on your requirements. This isn't a debate room, people here will tend to use Ubuntu, for obvious reasons. | 11:42 |
| Ann-Mariya | XATRIX, let me show the command | 11:42 |
| SkyRocknRoll | my opponent who is recommending debian says only this point " Debian is used by lot of guys" | 11:43 |
| ss_ | hello! I've done terrible things :). I've been trying to the nvidia drivers working on ubuntu (I was trying to run a game and it was running very slowly and i assumed this was due to incorrect graphics drivers). I went to the update centre and went to software sources, additional drivers and chose an nvidia driver | 11:43 |
| MonkeyDust | SkyRocknRoll wrong channel | 11:44 |
| sw | SkyRocknRoll You're not up against much then. Again, this is the wrong channel - try ##linux. | 11:44 |
| * SkyRocknRoll going to linux channel | 11:44 | |
| ss_ | i restarted X (logged out)... nothing seemed to change visually but now the game segfaulted! ok. So I tried playing around with the nvidia-settings commands, specifically i ran nvidia-settings which started with a dialogue box suggesting i run nvidia-xconfig | 11:44 |
| ss_ | i proceeded to run nvidia-xconfig, on an initial x restart, black screen, no output whatsoever, after that i restarted the machine and now im stuck in 640x480 :D | 11:45 |
| XATRIX | Ann-Mariya, dpkg -S gvfsd-http - show me the output | 11:45 |
| ss_ | halp? | 11:45 |
| ss_ | brb, gonna try reverting to the original x.org drivers | 11:47 |
| ss_ | is there a way to... completely reinstall X? I have a feeling this is all down to some duff xorg settings | 11:47 |
| ss_ | is there a way to revert/reinstall xorg? | 11:47 |

| POVaddct | bdi_: afaik there is no exfat support in linux yet | 12:01 |
| tomreyn | bdi_: exfat is indeed not a known file system type | 12:01 |
| bdi_ | ahh got it fixed | 12:02 |
| bdi_ | hmm maybe not | 12:02 |
| tomreyn | bdi_: there's a fuse module for exfat, thoughj | 12:04 |

| gaussblurinc | tomreyn: thanks, will search | 12:07 |
| casualX | hi there! can someone give me a advice how to create a xorg.conf file for a livecd at system startup or a workaround for starting X without xorg.conf and nvidia drivers? | 12:07 |
| gaussblurinc | and how about security in Oauth and applicationKey? if it is an open source? | 12:07 |
| POVaddct | bdi_: complain to M$ for making exfat undocumented, proprietary and patented | 12:07 |
| bdi_ | POVaddct, ohh its crappy M$ FS | 12:08 |
| Saxon | hello,every body | 12:08 |
| Touhou11 | POVaddct: True, it took several years before NTFS was in a usable state from Linux | 12:08 |
| gaussblurinc | hello | 12:08 |
| bdi_ | POVaddct, you cant expect anything else from M$ or Apple | 12:08 |
| tomreyn | casualX: your question sounds like you want to find out http://askubuntu.com/questions/206283/how-can-i-uninstall-a-nvidia-driver-completely | 12:08 |
| POVaddct | Touhou11: the same will happen with exfat. plus it is patented. | 12:08 |
| bdi_ | POVaddct, i really like M$ more than i like Apple though...Apple is #1 disgusting | 12:09 |
| POVaddct | bdi_: hehe | 12:10 |
| casualX | thx tomreyn but nouveau seems not to work too...even the vesa driver seems not to work | 12:10 |

| casualX | tomreyn I creat my livecd from scratch for a study project so I need to find a way to create a xorg.conf when starting it up...I allready tried doing it by system service with X -configue and then copy to /etc/X11/ but it failed cause my service script could create any file | 12:12 |
| tomreyn | casualX: "it failed cause my service script could create any file" doesn't make much sense to me. why does the initskript fail due to being able to create files? | 12:17 |
| XATRIX | Any grub configurator for ubuntu ? | 12:18 |
| tomreyn | XATRIX: there is update-grub | 12:18 |
| XATRIX | grub2 is hard as hell, like C++ coding | 12:18 |
| Nick-Black-92829 | /who *cadena* | 12:18 |
| XATRIX | tomreyn, update-grub or update-grub2 ? | 12:19 |
| Touhou11 | grub2 is fairly simple to understand, just read the manual: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html | 12:19 |
| tomreyn | XATRIX: $ ls -l /usr/sbin/update-grub2 | 12:20 |
| tomreyn | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Okt 14 19:37 /usr/sbin/update-grub2 -> update-grub | 12:20 |
| XATRIX | right | 12:20 |
| XATRIX | tomreyn, i mean, i installed kernel binary | 12:20 |
| XATRIX | How can i configure grub menu | 12:20 |
| XATRIX | To manually setup the order of entries | 12:21 |
| tomreyn | XATRIX: you optionally edit /etc/default/grub and run update-grub | 12:21 |
| casualX | tomreyn I thought maybee its not possible but I think its just my mistake. here is my scrip which runs well when I do it /etc/init.d/ after login from console but not from startup...youre my great saver today if you can help me fix it http://pastebin.com/FvGLBkj0 | 12:22 |
| tomreyn | XATRIX: to manually change the order of entries and not have them overwritten automatically on next kernel update / removal you will need to adjust the names of files in /etc/grub.d/ | 12:24 |
| elfer | -.o | 12:24 |
| tomreyn | XATRIX: it may be better to just set the # of the default entry in /etc/default/grub though | 12:24 |
| XATRIX | ok,, let's go another way | 12:25 |
| XATRIX | give me a sec | 12:25 |
| wilfredor | hi | 12:25 |
| proyecto_ | Buen día | 12:25 |
| wilfredor | I'm looking for a free software solution for around 30,000 phones with different architectures, from call centers (pbx) to mobile phones | 12:25 |
| erncic | wilfredor: asterisk | 12:26 |
| tomreyn | casualX: did you create this based on some template? where is this script stored, how is it invoked on boot? | 12:27 |
| heideggermartin | Hello! | 12:27 |
| wilfredor | Asterisk is a virtual pbx but We have a fisical pbxs erncic | 12:28 |
| XATRIX | tomreyn, http://hastebin.com/rakusodanu.vhdl | 12:28 |
| XATRIX | That's what i currently have | 12:28 |
| elfer | haste? | 12:28 |
| XATRIX | I need to enable pf-kernel | 12:28 |
| tomreyn | wilfredor: your question is pretty surely out of the scope of this channel | 12:29 |
| tomreyn | !ot | wilfredor | 12:29 |
| ubottu | wilfredor: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 12:29 |
| heideggermartin | I am trying to get a server running on https:// and if I generate .ssh files for it then my client complains because the ssh key for that domain is different on ssh and https | 12:29 |
| elfer | no | 12:29 |
| elfer | someone answer his question =p | 12:29 |
| wilfredor | tomreyn: I forget, ubuntu is not gnu/linux | 12:29 |
| muelli | heideggermartin: can you provide a screeshot or an error message? | 12:30 |
| heideggermartin | uhm ... Error: SSL Error: DEPTH_ZERO_SELF_SIGNED_CERT | 12:30 |
| elfer | i have questions, but i wont ask until later... | 12:30 |
| casualX | tomreyin yes i did this by a general template...the script is stored in /etc/init.d/ by the way i dont use upstart I use openrc...after creation i runned rc-update add <script> name...I can see the output on the monitor but It not create the file /root/xorg.conf.new...after when I logged in I can successfully start it with /etc/init,d/<scriptname> start and then it does his job :) | 12:31 |
| elfer | need a cat nap soon | 12:31 |
| heideggermartin | well: I want to make sure that the https uses the same key as the ssh shell to avoid running into other errors so I wondered where the cert and key files for ssh are hosted by default on ubuntu | 12:31 |
| heideggermartin | (as you can see above its a rather non-saying error of my command line tool in running in node) | 12:32 |
| muelli | heideggermartin: what client are you using? | 12:33 |
| muelli | heideggermartin: the sshd keys are somewhere in /etc/ssh/ | 12:33 |
| tomreyn | XATRIX: as per /etc/grub.d/41_custom you can create a file /etc/boot/grub/custom.cfg which will have just the kernel stanza you wish to show up in grub menu in it. | 12:33 |
| tomreyn | XATRIX: alternatively you can place it in /etc/grub.d/40_custom | 12:34 |
| heideggermartin | muelli: I have found tons of ssh keys in /etc/ssh/certs but I don't know which are used for the ssh command (I use mac/node/browser) | 12:34 |
| heideggermartin | (client) | 12:34 |
| tomreyn | XATRIX: then run update-grub again and set default to the # of the kernel stanza in grub.cfg | 12:35 |
| XATRIX | tomreyn, Sure but where should i edit paths to the kernel ? I wouldn't like to parse ton of a code :) | 12:35 |
| XATRIX | Also, i have no grub menu during startup... | 12:35 |
| muelli | heideggermartin: I have a weird feeling about your problem so I ask stupid questions. So you are using the OpenSSH ssh client? On the command line? | 12:35 |
| tomreyn | XATRIX: hold down shift at boot to make grub menu load | 12:35 |
| === ben1u is now known as benlu | ||
| XATRIX | Oh | 12:36 |
| XATRIX | Didn't know about this | 12:36 |
| heideggermartin | muelli: yes i used the standard command line client. | 12:36 |
| tomreyn | XATRIX: you don't need to parse any code, you can put the plain kernel stanzs into one of the files | 12:36 |
| muelli | heideggermartin: and can you pastebin your terminal session, including the program you call and how it returns? | 12:36 |
| XATRIX | kernel stanzs = kernel images paths ? | 12:37 |
| heideggermartin | muelli: the client is part of the problem, but not one I can change ;) | 12:37 |
| heideggermartin | muelli: As far as I can tell its possible to register different known_host ssh certificates for different ports | 12:38 |
| tomreyn | XATRIX: kernel stanza = a "menuentry" section, as found in your existing /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 12:38 |
| muelli | so, are you going to post a full transcript of you calling ssh? | 12:38 |
| heideggermartin | muelli: ssh <user>@<myserver> | 12:39 |
| heideggermartin | (client) | 12:39 |
| muelli | no | 12:39 |
| === RedWar is now known as thegreatspace | ||
| muelli | pastebin the contents of your terminal. Or use "script" and upload the file. | 12:39 |
| XATRIX | tomreyn, wait. If i reboot my box and hold down shift during startup, will it automatically add my new kernel to the list of kernels available to boot to ? | 12:40 |
| XATRIX | Or i have to manually write something into the config file | 12:40 |
| === lewq_ is now known as lewq | ||
| === marc is now known as Guest90391 | ||
| tomreyn | XATRIX: since the kernel image you want to try to boot is not a standard ubuntu image, you need to manually add a menuentry { } section referencing the kernel image and initrd to /etc/boot/grub/custom.cfg or /etc/grub.d/40_custom | 12:42 |
| XATRIX | Crap | 12:43 |
| tomreyn | ? | 12:43 |
| tomreyn | XATRIX: did you build this kernel image yourself, or did you find it somewhere? it's a bit of a dangerous situation that you would want to setup a custom kernel but know little about how grub works on ubuntu. | 12:46 |
| XATRIX | tomreyn, I'm quite experienced in building custom kernels, i did gentoo for about 7 years :) The trouble is that grub2 is quite a bit complicated than grub, and i would not like to dig into the script-code :) | 12:47 |
| XATRIX | I know how bootloader works, i also used lilo bootloaders, but grub2 confuses me as hell :) | 12:48 |
| tomreyn | heinrich5991: /etc/ssh/certs is not a standard location on ubuntu, as far as i know. what is stored in there, what placed it there (if you know), and what is its purpose (if you know) | 12:48 |
| XATRIX | Also it's not a hand-made kernel, i downloaded it from the http://pf.natalenko.name/binaries/ubuntu/ | 12:48 |
| tomreyn | sorry heinrich5991, this was supposed to go to heideggermartin | 12:48 |
| heideggermartin | muelli: https://gist.github.com/70fd2abf55e78724285d | 12:49 |
| heideggermartin | muelli: I am not sure this tells you anything. | 12:49 |
| muelli | heideggermartin: well. So why do you see SSH being a problem? it's "npm" that fails, right? | 12:49 |
| heideggermartin | muelli: This is my custom npm server ... running on ubuntu | 12:50 |
| Ogreman | test | 12:50 |
| muelli | so? | 12:50 |
| heideggermartin | muelli: that has a different ssh key than the ssh service on the server | 12:50 |
| muelli | heideggermartin: I don't see SSH in the problem space at all. | 12:50 |
| muelli | heideggermartin: the problem I see is that "GET" fails due to SSL things. | 12:50 |
| root | salut | 12:51 |
| heideggermartin | muelli: it fails imho because the server is not part of the known_hosts | 12:51 |
| === root is now known as Guest84894 | ||
| casualX | have a nice day folks | 12:51 |
| Guest84894 | Comment ça va | 12:51 |
| muelli | heideggermartin: how do you know that? | 12:51 |
| muelli | heideggermartin: I see the problem is clearly mentioned: zero depth certificate. That's obviously the SSL certificate | 12:51 |
| muelli | from the HTTPd that is | 12:51 |
| heideggermartin | muelli: its a common failure if you have try to access a uncertified secure domain | 12:52 |
| heideggermartin | muelli: it also says in the error SELF_SIGNED_CERT which you usually have to certify with a [YES/no] question | 12:53 |
| heideggermartin | muelli: that is not available in npm | 12:53 |
| YokoBR | guys, plz, i can't understand what's happening. I had Ubuntu Server 10.04, but then i switched to 12.04. Now i've installed postfix, but i can only send some kind of mail with php. I mean, when an unser registers, it doesn't send him a mail. But when he do the first login, it does. | 12:54 |
| heideggermartin | muelli: to make sure I made no other mistake I want to try to take the same ssh key in my npm server as I have in the ssh service(server) | 12:54 |
| muelli | heideggermartin: *shrug* anyway, so far, that doesn't look like anything SSH related at all to me. | 12:54 |
| muelli | heideggermartin: it looks like you only need to convince npm to trust the certificate that your httpd sends out. No idea how to do that though. But that's a npm specific problem. | 12:55 |
| === JoFo__ is now known as JoFo | ||
| heideggermartin | muelli: I am right now wondering if I write proper english (its not my mother tongue) | 12:56 |
| heideggermartin | muelli: To be as clear as I can: I have the feeling that I can solve this problem if I have the same .ssh key for both services (SSH and HTTPS). The https service is installed by me and the ssh service is out-of-the-box. | 12:57 |
| muelli | heideggermartin: no | 12:57 |
| heideggermartin | muelli: So I am asking if someone knows which .ssh key and cert file is used in the default ssh service of ubuntu. | 12:58 |
| muelli | heideggermartin: again, I am very surprised to see you seeing anything SSH related in there. The output you provided has no indication whatsoever for anything related to SSH. Not a single hint. It's all HTTPS. | 12:58 |
| heideggermartin | muelli: You are not answering my question. | 12:58 |
| muelli | heideggermartin: look in /etc/ssh/. But you won't find anything to solve your problem there. SSH is *not related* to your problem. *Why* would it be? There is not a single technical reason. | 12:59 |
| muelli | heideggermartin: I am. And I am doing that although I believe your questions are bad. | 12:59 |
| muelli | heideggermartin: The SSHd key is in /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key. But that doesn't buy you anything. | 13:00 |
| root__ | 10200 | 13:00 |
| heideggermartin | muelli: Thank you, do you know which the cert key is? | 13:00 |
| heideggermartin | muelli: sorry, cert pem file | 13:00 |
| muelli | heideggermartin: the problem is, your question don't make much sense. And that is, I believe, because you don't understand enough of the technical side of things. | 13:01 |
| muelli | i.e. SSHd doesn't work with PEM encoded files. | 13:01 |
| joey8 | !patience > heideggermartin | 13:01 |
| ubottu | heideggermartin, please see my private message | 13:01 |
| tomreyn | heideggermartin: are you mixing up SSL and SSH by chance? "certificate" often refers to X.509. SSH doesn't use "certificates". sure, both openssl and openssh work with key pairs, often RSA key pairs, but they store and use them very differently. | 13:02 |
| muelli | heideggermartin: so if you want your problem to be solved, don't focus on ssh. Focus on npm and how to make it accept a certificate of your liking. | 13:02 |
| heideggermartin | tomreyn: That they store those files differently is unfortunate. | 13:04 |
| tomreyn | heideggermartin: why so? | 13:04 |
| mimi | No problem as such, but would like to ask for some advice please? ..Can Win8 be run successfully in Virtual Box from within Ubuntu? All I need windows for is itunes | 13:04 |
| heideggermartin | In the couchdb that runs on the server I have the possiblity to define the key/cert pem file for the https communication. | 13:04 |
| muelli | Sure it is. But it's only 2012. We have yet to reach a state in which we can do PKI properly. | 13:04 |
| muelli | mimi: guess so. | 13:05 |
| mimi | muelli: doesn't sound like you've tried it? :) | 13:05 |
| muelli | muelli: correct. But I don't see a reason why it would not work. Plus: it's easy to test, no? | 13:06 |
| mimi | I would normally run a dual boot system, but don't know if I can be bothered to go through the hassle (yet again) | 13:06 |
| tomreyn | mimi: it does provide a windows 8 profile. and windows 8 boots up fine in a virtualbox VM on a ubuntu 12.10 host. video acceleration doesn't work for me, but that's porobably not a concern for you. | 13:06 |
| === redwar is now known as thegreatspace | ||
| heideggermartin | As far as I can tell: npm (like git) uses the known_hosts file on mac to accept uncertified urls | 13:06 |
| muelli | heideggermartin: how do you know? | 13:06 |
| mimi | tomreyn, ...thanks. No, I don't think it would be a concern. I use linux most of the time, and only windows for itunes. | 13:07 |
| muelli | heideggermartin: that is very very likely to only apply for SSH. But you *don't* try to make a connection via SSH. But rather HTTPS. | 13:07 |
| mimi | I've never tried virtual box ...am running linux at the moment from live usb | 13:07 |
| tomreyn | mimi: i guess you'll be fine then. | 13:07 |
| mimi | tomreyn, thanks. once Virtual box is running in Ubuntu, is windows just installed as per normal ...within virtual box? | 13:08 |
| heideggermartin | muelli: Not much i can say to that ... | 13:09 |
| mimi | thanks ....'night. ... | 13:10 |

| MarcN | I'm running Ubuntu Desktop 12.10 but want to upgrade to x86_64 in order for KVM to support x86_64 VMs. Is that simply a matter of installing a different kernel package? | 13:18 |
| tomreyn | MarcN: if you installed a 32 bit ubuntu so far, then you should reinstall to switch to the 64 bit architecture. | 13:21 |
| DJones | MarcN: Have you installed 32 bit originally? If so, you can't upgrade to 64 bit, you have to do a fresh install | 13:21 |

| heideggermartin | muelli: Half-knowledge is a grudge | 13:24 |
| MarcN | DJones, tomreyn - If I wipe and install Ubuntu Server, surely I can install ubuntu-desktop (or whatever) to get all the GUI goodness, right? My goal is to run KVM + OpenStack and be able to host x86_64 VMs (like Ubuntu Server which is x86_64 only). Just to kick the tires. | 13:24 |
| tomreyn | the_dark_knight: you want to look into httpd bench marking. | 13:24 |
| muelli | heideggermartin: bonus points if you mention briefly how to solve it so that people in the future can read these archived IRC logs. | 13:24 |
| alexxxxxa | Can somebody help me to set correctly /etc/network/interfaces ? | 13:24 |
| Lorra | the_dark_knight, you can repeat that command in a loop, when you invoke curl it gives also some statistics before outputting the result, you may extract them from the output of the command and then use them to do whatever you want | 13:24 |

| LTF | tomreyn: no, i mean, the script is executed by "restaura" user, i know its owner, i have access, this system just has not .xinitrc or x system, and dont know where to looki in,in rc.d i did not find it | 13:38 |
| tomreyn | LTF: for example, if the users' shell is bash, then the scripts which get executed on login are, in his home directory, .bash_profile and .bashrc | 13:39 |
| LTF | tomreyn: no,i already checkd there | 13:39 |
| witnit | mukhthar: Thanks, but I'm just trying to revive an unused PC without investing more money into it. | 13:39 |
| tomreyn | LTF: maybe the script which is called is invoked / referenced by the login scripts. | 13:40 |
| LTF | tomreyn: so how i locate it | 13:41 |
| tomreyn | LTF: well, read the users' login scripts since no other scripts the user can modify are executed on the users' login. | 13:42 |
| tomreyn | LTF: either what you are looking for is in there or it is referenced yb them | 13:42 |
| tomreyn | *by | 13:42 |
| tomreyn | LTF: you can diff the users' login scripts against those in /etc/skel/ to detect changes | 13:43 |
| angy | Need some help here. I was trying to format a usb stick and throu my not paying attention i changed my hardrive file type.... Now i get grub rescue when i start up. What is the command to change the file type back to fat (i belive it should be??) | 13:43 |
| craigbass1976 | angy, is it a grub thing, or an fdisk thing that you need? | 13:44 |
| angy | all i can get is a grub command prompt. Im still new to linux. | 13:44 |

| craigbass1976 | angy, I don't know that you can just do that with a command. Someone else pipe up, but I thought this involved fdisk and changing the filesystem type from there. | 13:51 |
| sebokie | does someone know if it can scan to a NFS share on a Ubuntu server? | 13:51 |

| angy | craigbass1976: Ya i wish lol, it wont boot pass grub command thou | 13:52 |
| TheLordOfTime | s9iper1, if its banned, i think asking for help bypassing local laws is bad form... | 13:52 |
| cfhowlett | TheLordOfTime: i'd tend to agree ... | 13:53 |
| angy | s9iper1: Google is your best friend | 13:53 |
| TheLordOfTime | s9iper1, i don't think this channel will help you to bypass local laws and regulations, i think you'll need to google that on your own. | 13:53 |
| s9iper1 | angy: yes google is and i set up proxy as well but didnt help | 13:53 |
| cfhowlett | s9iper1: that said, i'm pretty sure the local community knows how. I'm in china. accessing youtube took me 30 seconds once I googled the solution | 13:53 |
| cfhowlett | s9iper1: not youtube ... facebook. but the same method. see reassigning /hosts file for more | 13:54 |

| stigmata | can the back in time app save the backup file on a computer on the network doesnt seem to have ? | 13:58 |
| craigbass1976 | angy, I musty have misunderstood. I thought you actually changed the filesystem type of the thumb drive. What you did was actually changed what grub thought it was? | 13:58 |
| tomreyn | djzn: which desktop / window manager are you using? | 13:58 |
| tomreyn | andy: you can use parted to set the partition type | 13:59 |
| tomreyn | angy: ^ | 13:59 |
| kalamatianos212 | hi | 14:00 |
| angy | CORRECT 9sorry for caps) | 14:00 |
| craigbass1976 | tomreyn, I'm not sure the filesystem type actually changed. I think angy just screwed up grub, the equivalent of putting the wrong filesystem type in the menu.lst file, or however it is you do that these days. | 14:00 |
| angy | i used the disk app in ubuntu and thats how i changed it i thought i was on the thumb drive but i was on the hard disk | 14:01 |
| tomreyn | angy: do this in a terminal: ( cat /proc/partitions && echo === && sudo parted /dev/sda print ) | pastebinit | 14:01 |

| ss_ | Hi there, I'm having some problems running a game on ubuntu. Well, a few games actually! two from the current humble bundle :). | 14:08 |
| ss_ | specifically, Shank 2 just seg faults horribly | 14:08 |
| ss_ | while Closure says: "Couldn't find matching GLX visual" | 14:08 |
| ss_ | slightly more useful, investigating this i've found a package called "glx-alternative-nvidia" Which i've tried to install | 14:09 |
| angy | tomreyn: i think i have to do a fresh install it wont even do sudo | 14:10 |
| tomreyn | ss_: your video drivers lack 3D acceleration | 14:10 |
| ss_ | ss_, my video driver is an nvidia 650 GTX. | 14:10 |
| ss_ | oh driver | 14:11 |
| tomreyn | angy: are you working from a live cd now? | 14:11 |
| ss_ | right | 14:11 |
| ss_ | yes! :D | 14:11 |
| angy | no this is a diffrent computer | 14:11 |
| tomreyn | angy: okay, but the other computer which is broken, how are you working on it? | 14:11 |
| ss_ | tomreyn, yes I had feared the nivdia drivers were not correctly installed when nvidia-settings told me I "did not appear to be running the nvidia drivers" :D | 14:11 |
| tyler | I am running ubuntu 12.10. How can I close the lid on my laptop have it "Do nothing" | 14:11 |
| === tyler is now known as Guest62965 | ||
| brendan_ | so on 12.04 server, i get "running /etc/init.d/networking restart is deprecated because it may not enable again some interfaces" so what is the recommended way? | 14:11 |
| ss_ | tomreyn, however, I have tried to follow various guides and none of their steps seem to fail? | 14:12 |
| angy | its on the same desk: when i power on it goes to grub rescue: | 14:12 |
| dcherniv | brendan_, ifup & ifdown | 14:12 |
| dcherniv | brendan_, but you should be good with service networking restar | 14:12 |
| brendan_ | ok ty dcherniv | 14:12 |
| ss_ | tomreyn, that is to say, i've installed nvidia-current and restarted X, though this seems to have had little effect | 14:13 |
| ss_ | any suggestions on how to proceed? :S | 14:13 |
| === scott_ is now known as Guest48886 | ||
| Guest62965 | Nevermind, easier than I thought. | 14:13 |
| angy | tomreyn: I dont have anything to loose on the drive so a fresh install cant hurt. Ill just take this as a learning excperiance | 14:13 |
| tomreyn | ss_: i'm sorry, can't guide you through fixing the video acceleration right now. try the guides on help.ubuntu.com to either install the proprietary nvidia or the open source noveau drivers with video acceleration, unless you already did. | 14:15 |
| brendan_ | one more quick question dcherniv, should networking be restarted when an entry is made to /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head | 14:15 |
| tomreyn | angy: alright then, if you 're not loosing anything, then just go ahead. it can well be faster than trying to recover. | 14:16 |
| angy | ya, now i just have to get this thumb drive to mount on ubuntu so i can format and create a boot. that was my origenal issue LOL | 14:17 |
| === phoenix_firebrd is now known as phoenix_firebrd_ | ||
| angy | But i think its working now | 14:18 |
| ss_ | tomreyn, hmm yes i have already installed the propriety nvidia drivers using apt-get install nvidia-current-updates | 14:18 |
| ss_ | that seems to work successfully, but changes nothing | 14:18 |
| ss_ | is there really nothing more that has to be done after the nvidia-current-updates is installed? no settings changed etc? | 14:18 |
| brendan_ | should networking be restarted when an entry is added/deleted to /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head | 14:19 |
| dcherniv | brendan_, yes | 14:19 |
| brendan_ | ok | 14:19 |
| angy | How can i echo the DM that this pc is using so i can install that on my PC ? | 14:19 |
| ss_ | brb, gonna restart X after having installed those new drivers | 14:19 |
| tomreyn | angy: sudo apt-get install usb-creator-gtk | 14:20 |
| ss_ | hmm, no joy | 14:20 |
| angy | got that already | 14:20 |
| tomreyn | angy: okay :) what did you mean by DM? | 14:21 |
| angy | i forget what desktop maneger this pc uses | 14:21 |
| angy | like gnome and what have ya | 14:22 |
| tomreyn | angy: the default would be unity | 14:22 |
| angy | ya i hate unity lol | 14:23 |
| tomreyn | angy: i dislike it, too. you select the window manager / desktop to use when logging in. | 14:23 |
| zwangsfixiert | scriptassist | 14:23 |
| tomreyn | angy: some more suggestions: xubuntu (xfce), lubuntu (lxde), kubuntu (kde) | 14:23 |
| zwangsfixiert | yes | 14:24 |
| angy | okay im gonna relog so i can see what this pc uses i liek it | 14:24 |

| angy | and kunduntu is the same as ubuntu or whats the diff ? | 14:25 |

| ss_ | tomreyn, ok so I found this discussion on the forum: http://askubuntu.com/questions/202677/nvidia-driver-doesnt-work-in-12-10 which suggests that I should have linux-source installed before I install the nvidia-current-updates driver | 14:38 |
| lov | Whenever I press the "alt" button, the "Dash Home" menu opens. Is there any way to disable it opening for default? This gets really confusing and obnoxious when using synergy./ | 14:40 |
| ss_ | however, when I try to install the current-updates driver I noticed there was an error at the end regarding a problem with dkms and the unsupported version of my kernel. I then tried nvidia-current instead and it seemed to work! in that it got to the end of the aptitude install without an error. | 14:41 |
| lov | Nevermind, found it. Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts. | 14:41 |
| lov | Thanks anyway! | 14:41 |
| ss_ | however, nvidia-settings still believes the nvidia drivers are not installed and the game still crashes :D | 14:41 |

| jim_ | hi - having trouble with a fresh ubuntu 12.04 install, can't get flash (youtube) vids to play. have installed full restricted package, checked for proprietary drivers, also tried the firefox plugin "Flash Aid," but still a black space where the vids should be - I'd appreciate any suggestions, thanks | 15:14 |
| Tony_Stark | SolarisBoy: Thank you for helping | 15:14 |
| SolarisBoy | eruditehermit: you may want to check you file system - or hdd - i had that happen and a week later that drive died - also i've seen it happen actually work after about 30 minutes updating initramfs (same bad drive) | 15:14 |
| eruditehermit | SolarisBoy, I just got this. Its a new SSD | 15:15 |
| SolarisBoy | eruditehermit: not a definate but something to consider - also check the error logs again more fully (sudo find /var/log -name \*log -mtime -5 -exec grep -i error '{}' \; ) - you may find an actual error then | 15:16 |
| SolarisBoy | Tony_Stark: sure | 15:16 |
| SolarisBoy | eruditehermit: you can adjust some of the values in the command to see more stuff like stuff more than 5 hours young or maybe change the string "error" to "initram" or something else. | 15:17 |

I thought the kernel would query the proper dns wich belongs to that link of that specific interface. So how to solve it? | 16:10 |

| fellipe | tomreyn, hi! interesting, but why it is happening when I have dns-nameservers in each config block? I commented out one of these two lines and now it is resolving quickly | 16:17 |

| === atrius_away is now known as atrius | ||
| tomreyn | fellipe: i wouldn't know. i think it should work with different dns-nameservers in each block, as long as you can connect to those from both paths | 16:18 |
| tomreyn | fellipe: chances are you just had one nameserver in there which you can't actually query. | 16:19 |
| stobix | mooo: but skip the <ESC> part, it didn't work. :) | 16:19 |
| stobix | s/alsa/also/ | 16:19 |
| stobix | mooo: hm, I don't know if you can get around it only matching lines, not characters, though. Right now you get one match for each line with a matching character... | 16:20 |
| tomreyn | fellipe: you can use the dig or host commands to directly query these nameservers while switched the the very route you have configured them for, and see whether they respond (and how). | 16:21 |
| fellipe | tomreyn, god idea. I will run ip route get <dns> | 16:21 |

| Sazpaimon | how can I make logrotate only compress files that are x days old | 16:29 |
| stobix | I don't get what's wrong with wine... If there is a wine-amd64 package, why would I need to install a 32-bit chroot to install wine? What gives? | 16:29 |
| Sazpaimon | stobix, wine has a 64 bit version, but I don't think it's packaged | 16:31 |
| Sazpaimon | the wine package installs the 32 bit version of wine, because the majority of windows applications are 32 bit | 16:31 |
| Sazpaimon | like I said, though, there does exist a native 64 bit version of wine, but that will only allow you to run 64 bit windows applications, unless you set up a wow64 environment, in which case you would still need the 32 bit compatability support packages | 16:32 |

| Guest59641 | hi, finally got mATE Working, it is really good | 16:33 |
| theadmin | Sazpaimon: If you use PlayOnLinux, you can easily install extra versions of Wine without any trouble, including 64-bit ones | 16:33 |
| Guest59641 | hi steve, its larry | 16:33 |
| stobix | Sazpaimon: Hm. Maybe the wine package on a 64-bit machine should try to do something else than trying to install a package that doesn't exist (wine-i386), and install a chroot first/instead? | 16:33 |
| === Guest59641 is now known as larry__ | ||
| stobix | Sazpaimon: anyways, thanks for the info. I guess I'll simply ignore the package manager brokenness for now. | 16:34 |

| fellipe | tomreyn, hi. I ran ip route get <dns server ip> and the kernel is using the same route to all the dns-servers ip .... so how can I switch between dns-servers since it's no longer possible to use /etc/resolv.conf? | 16:35 |
| larry__ | I know wine is meant to RUN a windows application, but how do you INSTALL a windows application, I would like to install my windows printer drive | 16:36 |
| fellipe | tomreyn, or I can set static route to each dns server ip... | 16:36 |
| Sazpaimon | larry__, a driver != an application | 16:36 |
| Sazpaimon | as for installing applications in wine, running the setup program should be sufficient | 16:37 |
| TheLordOfTime | larry__, a windows driver won't install on linux, even if you use Wine. | 16:37 |
| larry__ | Sazpaimon, atm i run a windows partition with the printer software on it so boot between the two | 16:37 |
| Sazpaimon | if you want your printer to work in ubuntu, you'll need to install native linux drivers/modules for it | 16:37 |
| larry__ | there isn't one, leastwise not one that is usable | 16:38 |
| Sazpaimon | usually CUPS is sufficient for most printers | 16:38 |
| tomreyn | fellipe: sounds like your route switching doesn't work so well then. | 16:38 |
| fellipe | tomreyn, it is because I did not set static routes to dns servers | 16:39 |
| tomreyn | fellipe: okay, good to know it works then | 16:39 |
| Sazpaimon | anyway back to my question. How can I make logrotate only compress files that are older than a certain time? | 16:40 |
| tomreyn | fellipe: i have little practical experience with multi path setups mysqlf, probably less than you. | 16:40 |
| larry__ | nope, my epson has four ink cartridges and the cups manager does not know which cartridge has run out. all i know is it has stopped printing because one cartridge has run out. guess which one is unsatisfactory as the wrongguess leaves you with open but unused cartridges | 16:40 |
| Datz | Does anyone know if gnome-session-fallback has the ability to use widgets in the task/tool bars? | 16:40 |
| theadmin | Datz: Sure. Right-clicking the panel no longer words, some weirdo thought it was a good idea to map the context menu to Ctrl+WinKey+RightClick | 16:41 |
| theadmin | Datz: But other than that, yeah | 16:41 |
| Datz | theadmin: sweetness. thanks | 16:41 |
| tomreyn | Sazpaimon: that's not really uspported by logrotate, i think. you could write a wrapper script for the compression command or do the compression yourself using the postrotate hook, though | 16:41 |

| fellipe | tomreyn, sure, and it works like a charm ;) | 16:44 |
| Sazpaimon | tomreyn, well for now I can juse use delaycompress, and that will only compress the files from 2 runs ago right? | 16:44 |

| Ja1 | tomreyn any idea ? | 16:45 |
| fellipe | tomreyn, yeah. so thanks! | 16:46 |

| Rage | navicat? | 17:59 |
| DJones | Rage: Have you reported them as bugs? | 17:59 |
| Terriblist | how can you even use phpmyadmin lol | 17:59 |
| maslo | smkatz have you tried root? | 17:59 |
| smkatz | yes that's the strange part I have tried root | 17:59 |
| Rage | actually I haven't | 17:59 |
| smkatz | what does navicat do? | 17:59 |
| smkatz | *looks it up* | 17:59 |
| Rage | Is there any way I could use Pytivo on 12.04? | 18:00 |
| Terriblist | its a mysql gui tool | 18:00 |
| DJones | Rage: Thats the best way of helping to get them fixed, if nobody reports them, the developers won't know about them | 18:00 |
| smkatz | terriblist is it OSS? | 18:01 |
| Terriblist | no | 18:01 |
| smkatz | not obvious | 18:01 |
| Terriblist | but you can get the light version | 18:01 |
| Terriblist | and you need wine | 18:01 |
| smkatz | and how does it specifically address my problem? to be clear, I'm not scared of the command line, | 18:01 |
| Terriblist | but its the best tool for mysql | 18:02 |
| smkatz | I just wanted to simulate a web host | 18:02 |
| smkatz | because I'm mentoring someone | 18:02 |
| Terriblist | you can use command line sql but its alot less eficient | 18:02 |
| zgr | any sed wizards online? I need to replace each first char on line in file1(has 1299 lines) with each char from file2 (has 1299 chars) | 18:02 |
| Rage | !pytivo | 18:02 |
| Terriblist | what do you mean simulate lol | 18:02 |
| Terriblist | linux ie ubuntu IS the BEST web host | 18:03 |
| smkatz | I mean I want to teach them phpmyadmin | 18:03 |
| Terriblist | google runs on debian servers | 18:03 |
| Terriblist | oh | 18:03 |
| === tireIronNinja is now known as gimmiegotcha | ||
| smkatz | I installed it using apt-get install phpmyadmin | 18:03 |
| smkatz | it prompted me to create a database | 18:03 |
| smkatz | I did | 18:03 |
| Rage | Djones? does PyTivo work on ubuntu 12.04? | 18:03 |
| smkatz | I can access the phpmyadmin login page | 18:04 |
| === RedWar is now known as thegreatspace | ||
| Terriblist | smkatz install mysql workbench then | 18:04 |
| Terriblist | its free and its native to linux | 18:04 |
| dr_willis | zgr: you going to be doing this a lot? or just once? | 18:04 |
| DJones | Rage: Its not something I've heard of | 18:04 |
| Terriblist | phpmyadmin is horible | 18:04 |
| Rage | Oh. | 18:04 |
| DJones | !find PyTivo | 18:04 |
| ubottu | Package/file PyTivo does not exist in quantal | 18:04 |
| Terriblist | also if you put phpmyadmin on your resume | 18:04 |
| Rage | well it runs on python and ffmpeg | 18:04 |
| Terriblist | ppl will run | 18:04 |
| Terriblist | from you | 18:04 |
| SolarisB1y | maslo: is the user/alias setup properly? | 18:04 |
| DJones | Rage: Looks like its not part of the repositories | 18:05 |
| Rage | hmm | 18:05 |
| BluesKaj | Rage: I used pytivo up until 11.10 and it worked well | 18:05 |
| Terriblist | *DO NOT: put phpmyadmin on your resume | 18:05 |
| SolarisB1y | lol | 18:05 |
| n0sq | i don't know who to talk to but something needs to be done to fix emesene or amsn or firefox or all of them or whichever is the actual problem - i'm not sure of what happened but now my wife can no longer access her hotmail account unless she closes emesene (ubuntu 12.04) AND logs out of hotmail in firefox - then she can log into hotmail and then access her mail but can't open any mail | 18:05 |
| Rage | it is a third party app | 18:05 |
| maslo | SolarisB1y: how would I go about looking for that? like I mentioned I don't know much about postfix | 18:05 |
| maslo | and ubuntu lol | 18:05 |
| smkatz | maslo | 18:06 |
| Terriblist | smkatz: install mysql workbench | 18:06 |
| smkatz | you looking to configure postfix? | 18:06 |
| maslo | yeah | 18:06 |
| llutz | maslo: check your main.cf again "Dec 21 21:32:47 mathzx postfix/smtpd[9798]: warning: unknown smtpd restriction: "check_relay_domain"" | 18:06 |
| sitwon | ok, so I have the proprietary drivers installed and working. and now I have Steam installed | 18:06 |
| sitwon | wasn't L4D2 ported to Linux? | 18:06 |
| maslo | llutz: checking right now | 18:06 |
| DJones | Rage: You probably need to check with the 3rd party developer, they're most likely to be able to help | 18:06 |
| SolarisB1y | yea was going to mention your relay_domains is balnk also | 18:06 |
| * n0sq doesn't know if trying a different distro will fix the problem | 18:06 | |
| SolarisB1y | but the error comes on the RCPT TO command | 18:07 |
| Rage | I'm looking for an irc chatroom for pytivo right now | 18:07 |

| astra05 | hey guys | 18:07 |
| maslo | relayhost should be what SolarisB1y? | 18:07 |
| Terriblist | smkatz: so whats the problem | 18:07 |
| smkatz | I created several databases during this process via db_common | 18:07 |
| === X-Pig is now known as Xpig | ||
| Terriblist | drupal is very friendly | 18:07 |
| zgr | dr_willis: i need it for tesseract-ocr training. I print some text, scan it, parse scan with tesseract and after that need to fix each char, so I wanted to do it with sed but I don't know it( | 18:07 |
| smkatz | but the drupal auto-installer failed | 18:07 |
| smkatz | apt-get install drupal7 | 18:07 |
| smkatz | so I am installing it manually | 18:08 |
| astra05 | does anyone know anything about install ubuntu on arm a8 laptops? | 18:08 |
| smkatz | and i am to the point of creating the database | 18:08 |
| astra05 | like the Avatar AVRA-138A1 | 18:08 |
| smkatz | but I've already created some | 18:08 |
| dr_willis | zgr: i think you will need more then sed. most likely awk can do it. the #bash guys may know better ways. You could almost do it with just bash and the cut/paste commands.. but been years since i last used them | 18:08 |
| smkatz | so I want to see if I can use or delete those | 18:08 |
| dr_willis | zgr: awk definatly shoul dbe able to do it | 18:08 |
| smkatz | I figured i would setup phpmyadmin at the same time | 18:08 |
| zgr | dr_willis: thanks will google that way | 18:08 |
| BluesKaj | Rage: http://pytivo.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_Install | 18:09 |
| maslo | llutz / SolarisB1y removed the delay thingy and gets this in the bounced message : The error that the other server returned was: 550 550 5.1.1 | 18:09 |
| Terriblist | smkatz: but why | 18:09 |
| llutz | maslo: where do you have the "check_relay_domains" from? wasn't it replaced long time ago by "reject_unauth_destination" | 18:09 |
| Terriblist | you are just wasting your time | 18:09 |
| willem | hi, has anyone here managed to install nvidia proprietary drivers on ubuntu 12.10 and still have a desktop environment left afterwards? | 18:10 |
| === willem is now known as willemvds | ||

| mohamedalaa98 | Hi guys :D how can I get my application in USC? | 18:10 |
| dr_willis | willemvds: the nvidia drivers work for most people. | 18:10 |
| llutz | maslo: you shouldn't use those. get actual ones from postfix.org or ubuntu.forums | 18:10 |
| smkatz | terribist, what do you think I should do? | 18:11 |
| smkatz | create a new database from the command line | 18:11 |
| === Vyom is now known as Guest82069 | ||
| Terriblist | sure | 18:11 |
| SolarisB1y | the postfix basic configuration is pretty straight forward | 18:11 |
| === Guest82069 is now known as Vy0m | ||
| Terriblist | or use mysql workbench | 18:11 |
| SolarisB1y | on postfix.org that is | 18:11 |
| willemvds | dr_willis: i tried installing it through ubuntu additional drivers, then myself, then using ubuntuextreme script - no luck either way | 18:11 |

| === Vy0m is now known as Vyom | ||
| SolarisB1y | http://www.postfix.org/BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README.html | 18:12 |
| willemvds | friend of mine also tried it at work and also had issues | 18:12 |
| Terriblist | instaead of installing a mysql web tool on your website | 18:12 |
| Terriblist | because its tarded | 18:12 |
| smkatz | why will mysql workbench work any better than phpmyadmin? | 18:13 |
| nookk | ubuntu 8.04.4 is good or not? | 18:13 |
| Terriblist | yes | 18:13 |
| Terriblist | because | 18:13 |
| Terriblist | omg | 18:13 |
| smkatz | look. I can't login to the setup page | 18:13 |
| smkatz | this tells me that the mysql password and username don't appear to be correct | 18:13 |
| smkatz | or it's not connected correctly as you say | 18:14 |
| nookk | Terriblist, the answer was for me? | 18:14 |
| smkatz | do you know how to fix this? | 18:14 |
| Terriblist | smkatz: can you access your mysql ? | 18:14 |
| Terriblist | in shell | 18:14 |
| dcherniv | smkatz, mysql -u root -p | 18:15 |
| Terriblist | now were talking | 18:16 |
| dr_willis | willemvds: most likely depends on the chipset. | 18:16 |
| smkatz | this should also help | 18:16 |
| dr_willis | willemvds: my 5 nvidia systems worked with no issues. | 18:16 |
| smkatz | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/phpMyAdmin | 18:16 |
| willemvds | i have 560ti | 18:16 |
| smkatz | I think I did set a password terriblist | 18:16 |
| dcherniv | smkatz, setting phpmyadmin facing outside world is stupid. | 18:17 |
| smkatz | dccherniv, don't worry | 18:17 |
| maslo | actually llutz I got the check relay from mail.log ' fatal: parameter "smtpd_recipient_restrictions": specify at least one working instance of: check_relay_domains, reject_unauth_destination, reject, defer or defer_if_permit' | 18:18 |
| dcherniv | smkatz, im not worried its not my install :) | 18:18 |
| gmachine_24 | so.....my docs folder is 400mb...

I can't think of any reason not to do this - but thought I'd ask here first. Sorry this was so long. | 18:18 |
| michael0243 | gmachine_24: That sounds pretty straightforward and doable | 18:19 |
| === paul__ is now known as PDun | ||
| gmachine_24 | michael0243, that's what I think. But, you know . . . there always seems to be something . . . but thanks for the input. :) | 18:19 |
| michael0243 | gmachine_24: basically any storage drive in linux is the same thing(with some abstraction in there) so you can do pretty much anything on any type of storage that you want if you can do it on others | 18:20 |
| pbxbrian | Hi Hi | 18:20 |
| pbxbrian | quick bit of help with a dependency issue please? | 18:21 |
| pbxbrian | I'm running 12.04 | 18:21 |
| pbxbrian | trying to install a package and I'm getting Depends: libperl5.10 (>= 5.10.1) but it is not installable | 18:21 |
| Terriblist | smkatz: forget phpmyadmin | 18:21 |
| Terriblist | its not going to help you do anything | 18:21 |
| smkatz | dcherniv, how do I take appropriate precautions? | 18:21 |
| pbxbrian | but perl5.14.2 is installed | 18:21 |
| smkatz | lots of people do install it.... | 18:21 |
| pbxbrian | how do I get around this...? | 18:21 |
| Terriblist | smkatz: !!! | 18:21 |
| Terriblist | do you need to reset your mysql root pass | 18:22 |
| Terriblist | i can help you do that | 18:22 |
| gmachine_24 | michael0243, ok, thanks. I am a 99 percent Linux person but still keep a dozer around for scanning.... | 18:22 |
| dcherniv | smkatz, dont use phpmyadmin | 18:22 |
| smkatz | Terriblist, look I'm new. sorry, I don't mean to be ignoring you | 18:22 |
| smkatz | ok. | 18:22 |
| smkatz | how do I remove it? | 18:22 |
| Terriblist | why does he think phpmyadmin will fix his stuff????? | 18:22 |
| Terriblist | :() | 18:22 |
| Terriblist | :O | 18:22 |
| smkatz | I don't think it will. | 18:22 |
| smkatz | I'm aware my problem is deeper than PHPMyAdmin | 18:23 |
| dcherniv | smkatz, i cant count the number of times people's sites were infected through phpmyadmin in my practice | 18:23 |
| michael0243 | pbxbrian: sudo apt-get install libperl ? | 18:23 |
| smkatz | ok. good to know | 18:23 |
| Detox_at_Work | please help... I installed ubuntu and it created a home folder 75% of HD can I adjust now, keeping the HD intact or must I reinstall fresh | 18:23 |
| dcherniv | smkatz, whats the problem you're having anywayt | 18:23 |
| smkatz | tell me how to remove it | 18:23 |
| pbxbrian | michael0243: if only it was that easy :) | 18:23 |
| pbxbrian | libperl 5.14.2 is installed | 18:23 |
| pbxbrian | but this package is looking for libperl5.10 (>= 5.10.1) | 18:23 |
| gmachine_24 | Detox_at_Work, you can change the partition sizes | 18:24 |
| smkatz | dcherniv, I'm trying to cleanup. I ran the drupal auto-installer | 18:24 |
| smkatz | it failed | 18:24 |
| Detox_at_Work | I only have 1 partition | 18:24 |
| smkatz | I need to get rid of that database | 18:24 |
| pbxbrian | 5.14.2 is >= 5.10.1 | 18:24 |
| Detox_at_Work | 1 hd | 18:24 |
| pbxbrian | grrrrrrrrrr | 18:24 |
| n0sq | apparently, i can only access hotmail with windows now | 18:24 |
| smkatz | and also remove phpmyadmin | 18:24 |
| michael0243 | detox_at_work: use parted. It is a GUI to do that. Pretty simple. Good a tutorial. MAKE BACKUPS! | 18:24 |
| gmachine_24 | Detox_at_Work, so then what is the problem? | 18:24 |
| n0sq | grrrrrr, also | 18:24 |
| smkatz | n0sq | 18:24 |
| smkatz | how are you trying to access hotmail? | 18:24 |
| smkatz | through a web browser? | 18:24 |
| Detox_at_Work | I am using it for big blue button server | 18:24 |
| smkatz | or a client? (thunderbird) | 18:24 |
| michael0243 | pbxbrian: that shouldn't happen. Interesting | 18:24 |
| n0sq | smkatz: with amsn or emesene | 18:25 |
| gmachine_24 | Detox_at_Work, so then what is the problem???????????????????????? | 18:25 |
| Detox_at_Work | and once I iinstalled it,, HD is shown as full | 18:25 |
| Terriblist | wow | 18:25 |
| dcherniv | smkatz, login to mysql as root | 18:25 |
| Detox_at_Work | i have to shrink the home folder | 18:25 |
| dcherniv | smkatz, mysql -uroot -p | 18:25 |
| dcherniv | smkatz, drop database DRUPALDATABASE | 18:25 |
| Terriblist | mysql -u root -p | 18:25 |
| n0sq | smkatz: but, when i manually login with the browser the links to the mailbox don't work | 18:25 |
| Detox_at_Work | there is only 1 partition on the hd | 18:25 |
| hsnmck | I just installed xubuntu and I chosen to encrypt my home folder.. I'm trying to change enter my passphrase but it's giving me Error: Unwrapping passphrase failed [-5]. Is there a way to change the passphrase ? I'm logged in! | 18:25 |
| gmachine_24 | Detox_at_Work, if your home folder is just a folder you can't shrink the size... unless it's on a separate partition...... I think | 18:26 |
| pbxbrian | I think the easiest solution to this problem is debian squeeze | 18:26 |
| smkatz | can I list the databases on the system? | 18:26 |
| Terriblist | dcherniv: he cant lol | 18:26 |
| smkatz | using mysql? | 18:26 |
| dcherniv | smkatz, drop user DRUPALUSER | 18:26 |
| Detox_at_Work | yes | 18:26 |
| michael0243 | detox_at_work: then your hard drive isn't big enough assuming your partition is as big as the hard drive. | 18:26 |
| smkatz | ok. I have the information I need | 18:26 |
| Detox_at_Work | is 250 gig hd | 18:26 |
| Terriblist | smkatz: are you in mysql now? | 18:26 |
| n0sq | smkatz: but, the links work when i use IE | 18:26 |
| michael0243 | detox_at_work: so that means you have 75% of 250gig used. | 18:26 |
| Detox_at_Work | fresh install of ubuntu and 1 prog that fits on a pen drive | 18:26 |
| Terriblist | can you type: show databases; | 18:26 |
| n0sq | i guess i should try konquerer | 18:26 |
| dcherniv | smkatz, show databases; will list dbs | 18:26 |
| gmachine_24 | Detox_at_Work, why do you want to shrink the size of the home folder? | 18:27 |
| Detox_at_Work | is not needed | 18:27 |
| guest-PGlwoz | a | 18:27 |

| Kniple | Hey Guys, I need some help. I run Xubuntu 12.10, and when I'm on AC Power, the system gets really slow, and speeds up as soon as i unplug the ac-adapter and run on battery power. Anyone of you know what this might be? (I tried to google for it, but couldnt find any relevant information) | 18:58 |
| dr_willis | Oliver_: not that ive ever noticed. | 18:58 |
| Oliver_ | hm, okay | 18:58 |
| [snake] | dr_willis, um... let me pull out my motherboard box, it is the built in nvidia one, I will see what it is specifically. | 18:58 |
| Kniple | Oliver_: i guess you can log out and choose xfce without the ubuntu constumization? | 18:58 |
| [snake] | that was a horribly worded sentence lol | 18:58 |
| dr_willis | [snake]: you did install the nvidia drivers? | 18:58 |
| Oliver_ | Kniple: Never heard of that | 18:59 |
| [snake] | dr_willis, yes I installed them. | 18:59 |
| dkessel | [snake] or you could run "lspci" and pastebin the output | 18:59 |
| Kniple | well if you log out, you get a drop down with environments, and you can choose xfce classic, and xfce ubuntu, i think. | 18:59 |
| dr_willis | [snake]: run nvidia-settings and be sure its using them. Try some native linux 3d games also. | 18:59 |

| Petaz | can I run ubunto on a windows 8 phone? | 19:03 |
| dr_willis | [snake]: tried a native 3d linux game? - could be the onboard nvidia is just not that good a 3d card for what you are wanting to do. | 19:03 |

| kevinch | talntidd what more information could i get for you that would help? | 19:32 |
| kevinch | I think i did something wrong when i resized the partition and the volume | 19:32 |
| dr_willis | bluwhale: windows has internet shareing connection features. (ICS) that can do it. | 19:32 |
| dr_willis | bluwhale: you will need either a crossover cable. or 2 normal cables + a hub/port. unless you got GbE ports | 19:32 |
| Alumin | bluwhale: you can do IP masquerade on the Ubuntu system to share the connection | 19:32 |
| namidark | My server is randomly losing its DHCP lease and then it refuses to pick up a new one (dhclient just hangs and pings the dhcpserver) -- if i manually configure an IP I can ssh into it, but no domain's resolve, and if I edit resolv.conf to set the nameservers, the domain's still won't resolve... anyone have any ideas? | 19:33 |
| Alumin | but yeah, as dr_willis said you'll need a crossover cable to connect them if you don't have a hub/switch | 19:33 |
| bluwhale | dr_willis, Well, I have ethernet ports on both. So can I link them through those? | 19:33 |
| bluwhale | Alumin, ^^ | 19:33 |
| Alumin | and you'll have to manually configure the networking (i.e. without DHCP) on whichever machine is "behind" the other one | 19:33 |
| dr_willis | actually ive seen some Normal 100speed Nic ports that can auto switch. :) but nmot sure how common they are | 19:33 |
| kevinch | bluewhale you may not need crossover if one of the NIC's auto configures and knows its a crossover | 19:33 |
| kevinch | *not a crossover | 19:34 |
| dr_willis | I thinl all the 1000 speed Gigibit ports can do it. | 19:34 |
| Alumin | bluwhale: sure, but you may need a cxrossover cable depending on your NIC hardware | 19:34 |

| bluwhale | Ok, thanks for the tips guys. I think I'll do more research. | 19:35 |
| bluwhale | Based on your suggestions. | 19:35 |
| Alumin | namidark: can you ping the nameservers themselves? | 19:35 |
| Alumin | bluwhale: if you want the MSW box to be the "master", look up Internet Connection Sharing | 19:35 |
| Alumin | if you want the Ubuntu box to handle it, look up IP masquerade | 19:35 |
| Alumin | you might want to look up the pinout for a crossover cable as well, in case you need to make one | 19:37 |
| dr_willis | always handy to have a crossover cable, or a little converter/dongle in the pc toolbox | 19:37 |

| dr_willis | that might run an instance of vlc for each file.. may not be what you want. ;) | 19:43 |
| new-to-this | Alumin: yes i do | 19:43 |
| new-to-this | it doesnt return anything | 19:43 |
| Alumin | I don't second-guess the question. :) But yes, you're right, he probably wants xargs | 19:43 |

| new-to-this | not for me no | 19:44 |

| new-to-this | if i run "/usr/bin/vlc" i get vlc up | 19:44 |

| Rage | doesn't he mean the terminal? | 20:35 |
| Tex_Nick | Rage : the icon that looks like a sake or locker is the Deja Dup Backup Tool ... it allows many options for backup, including to Ubuntu One | 20:35 |

| iamwhoiam | Rage: with this i cannot help, i have never used backup programs, only terminal commands for getting all my installed packages and then reinstalling them... someone else might help | 20:40 |

| ubottu | Rage: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 20:41 |
| Rage | ah | 20:41 |
| Tex_Nick | !dash | Rage | 20:41 |
| ubottu | Rage: /bin/sh links to the DASH shell in all releases since Ubuntu Edgy (6.10). Since DASH is not 100% compatible with the BASH shell, some scripts might break. You can make scripts execute using BASH by changing the first line of the script to « #! /bin/bash | 20:41 |

| WhitePelican | ntzrmtthihu777, the manual is a tad cumbersome. What I'm trying to do is increase the size of my virtual machine | 21:25 |
| Nik05 | ntzrmtthihu777 it will tell you everything | 21:25 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | ah, thank you. | 21:25 |
| guntbert_ | WhitePelican: that is definitely beyound the scope of *this* channel | 21:26 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | well, If I am not mistaken, you cannot increase the size of the virtual disc image if you set it as fixed size, and it will automatically grow if you set it as dynamically allocated | 21:26 |
| nfl32 | guntbert_, is it possible to make sudo changes under another partiton instead so i have a gui. i am not friendly with bash plus no printer so rather do this way if possible | 21:26 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | and those are the only options, I think. | 21:27 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | bash is easy, lol. what exactly are you trying to achieve, nf123? | 21:27 |
| nfl32 | lol ntzrmtthihu777 i really havent ever used it though. always went around it somehow this is what i need to do ntzrmtthihu777 http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 21:28 |
| guntbert_ | nfl32: you could do it from a live usb/CD - but you need to handle command line in any case | 21:28 |
| erncic | WhitePelican, you can expand it, but you need to treat it as if you had added a new hd and use something like clonezilla to move the data over. It is exactly like a physical move. | 21:28 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | lol, yeah you could do that, erncic. | 21:28 |
| nfl32 | guntbert_, ok. so live usb only cant do it from partition on same drive for sure? | 21:28 |
| WhitePelican | erncic, understood | 21:29 |
| guntbert_ | nfl32: that has nothing to do with "partition" | 21:29 |
| WhitePelican | erncic, thanks | 21:29 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yeah, you would have to do a live session. I accidentaly broke sudoers before, was a bit of a pain. not even recovery mod was working, so a live session is a must | 21:30 |
| nfl32 | guntbert_, the screwed sudo system is on sda my 1 hard drive and it has 3 partitions the other 2 systems work fine. so can i make these http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo changes that way or i really gotta burn off a iso live usb. that is all i am askin | 21:30 |
| Guest12334 | hi, does anyone know if there's a way under xorg.conf to set the screen to only use 1080i and ever 1080p | 21:30 |
| Guest12334 | ? | 21:30 |
| nfl32 | ok ntzrmtthihu777 appreciate it. i may be back to ask for some help lol | 21:30 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | ah, then just boot one of your other systems and fix it. | 21:31 |
| nfl32 | ok thats cool ntzrmtthihu777 | 21:31 |
| nfl32 | i will do that | 21:31 |
| guntbert_ | nfl32: ahh, you are multibooting - sure, as long as the borked system is not the actiive one it should work (although I never tried that approach myself) | 21:31 |

| jrib | emx: not necessarily. But if you are not doing strange things with your packages (badly behaved PPAs, repositories not meant for your version, .debs not meant for your version), then the install should go smooth. In any case, you're advised to have backups (which you should have even if you aren't upgrading of course) | 21:56 |

| mrhyde | wow ubuntu is amazing -words coming from a Mac user :) | 22:00 |
| tim-ct | hi all Please could someone look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/1455744/. I still cant see thru the firewall | 22:00 |
| Jordan_U | doug1: mkfs doesn't mount volumes, so you'll have to rephrase your question. | 22:00 |
| erncic | emx: how remote and what is your "Are you kidding me?" strategy? | 22:00 |
| doug1 | Jordan_U: Yes it does. If I run mkfs on a volume, and that volume is already in fstab, it automatically mounts it | 22:01 |
| emx | erncic, what on earth is a "Are you kidding me?" strategy? :P remote means around 3'000 km away. | 22:01 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | yes walter. press ctrl + alt + f1 | 22:11 |
| phibxr | siver, haven't been running gnome classic for years, but I guess that they would most likely be saved somewhere under ~/.config in your home-directory. | 22:11 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | it should allow you to login with command line | 22:11 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | then type startx | 22:11 |
| siver | phibxr: yeah, I actually just deleted my .gconf folder ... but for some reason that didn't fix it | 22:11 |
| phibxr | siver, seems like it uses dconf instead of gconf. but that's perhaps gnome 3/unity. | 22:12 |

| siver | phibxr: well, it's a fresh ubuntu install, just installed gnome on top ... but my keybindings that I already set in unity were still working in gnome classic, maybe that gives you a better idea of where I should be looking? | 22:13 |
| doug1 | this makes no sense. I am running '/sbin/mkfs -t ext4 /dev/bcvg/log' and something is mounting the volume afterwards. I thought it was because there was already an entry in /etc/fstab, but that's not it cuz I just ran "/sbin/mkfs -t ext4 /dev/bcvg/log" again with it commented out | 22:13 |
| phibxr | siver, okay, you may want to check this one out then: http://askubuntu.com/questions/17626/how-can-i-restore-default-keyboard-shortcuts | 22:14 |
| phibxr | siver, I sadly haven't been able to mess my keybindings up -- yet. :) | 22:14 |

| Jordan_U | doug1: Is it mounting it somewhere in /media/ ? | 22:15 |
| doug1 | Jordan_U: No, mounts at /var/log/bxxx | 22:15 |

| PJSingh5000 | greasemonkey, I wonder if you've run into that "Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)" that Microsoft proposed to prevent computers ceom loading non authorized OSs??? | 23:18 |
| PJSingh5000 | *ceom = from | 23:18 |
| Tex_Nick | afuentes : if you're trying to boot on a system that has winDoze 8 installed, the secure boot issue is probably the issue | 23:18 |
| greasemonkey | Haven't verified the sums after download--no errors or interruptions encountered during downloading. | 23:19 |
| PJSingh5000 | afuentes, sorry that message was meant for you, nbot greasemonkey | 23:19 |
| afuentes | yup, i think i have some uefi or something... i already have installed along and its running :/ | 23:20 |
| kullix | question: what program can i use to make a bootable windows 8 usb from Ubuntu? | 23:20 |
| mrhyde | hello I'm running ubuntu 12.04 on virtualbox, I installed updates and my video resolution has reduced | 23:20 |
| OerHeks | greasemonkey, download the precise non-pea mini.iso and install ubuntu-desktop manually ( or xubuntu/lubuntu) http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/non-pae/ | 23:20 |
| OerHeks | *non-pae | 23:21 |
| afuentes | i have been able to boot it with ubuntu 12.04... but i cant install from there coz a bug :( | 23:21 |
| afuentes | so i burned a 12.10 where is supposed to be fixed... but it wont even boot :( | 23:21 |
| OerHeks | !uefi | 23:21 |
| ubottu | UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 23:21 |
| afuentes | i already have debian installed :( | 23:22 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| afuentes | it wasnt that hard | 23:22 |
| afuentes | and i dont remember any uefi s****** | 23:23 |
| mrhyde | debian is nice to have a linux installation from scratch but ubuntu is easier and more straightforward and modern | 23:23 |
| afuentes | yup... what i meant is that i already installed some linux on it | 23:23 |
| Patero-ng | is it better to use linux on uefi? | 23:23 |
| afuentes | so i dont think did something ubuntu cant | 23:23 |
| Tex_Nick | afuentes : seet the ubottu factoid sent to you by OerHeks above | 23:23 |
| afuentes | so i dont think debian did something ubuntu installer cant | 23:24 |
| OerHeks | afuentes, i have no experience with uefi | 23:24 |
| OerHeks | but that wiki could be a help | 23:24 |
| doug1 | ok, so how come /sbin/mkfs -t ext4 /dev/bcvg/log automatically mounts the volume, but /sbin/mkfs -t ext4 /dev/mapper/bcvg-log does not!?!? | 23:24 |
| sasuke | Hello , can any body answer to my question please. How to migrate Thunderbird’s data&profile from Ubuntu to Windows 7 | 23:25 |
| afuentes | sasuke, there is a plugin for thunderbird to import and export | 23:25 |
| OerHeks | doug1, does /dev/mapper/bcvg-log exist ? ls -l /dev/mapper/ would show you | 23:25 |
| kaddi | hi guys :) I was wondering if there is a way to know what packages you no longer use or stuff I can safely uninstall witohut missing it | 23:25 |
| afuentes | otherwise, just localice the data folder and move them | 23:26 |
| sasuke | afuentes: ok let me check | 23:28 |
| sasuke | afuentes: one doubt, will it work from ubuntu to windows | 23:33 |
| greasemonkey | OerHeks, Thanks for the URL. I pulled it and will try to boot from the mini.iso. Hope it works. | 23:33 |
| KaRmA | do I need to set volume_normalization to "yes" in the config file for replay gain volume leveling to work, or does it work by default when my files have replaygain tags and it is set to 'track' ? | 23:34 |
| afuentes | sasuke, not sure... there is a import/export plugin for thunderbird with lots of options... I remember i used that in the end | 23:35 |
| afuentes | if you look for it in the plugins section it should show up | 23:35 |
| sasuke | ok | 23:35 |

| ubuntuaddicted | hello? | 23:47 |
| ubuntuaddicted | i've never seen this so dead | 23:48 |
| gmachine_24 | ubuntuaddicted, we're saving our energy for Christmas | 23:48 |
| gmachine_24 | ubuntuaddicted, are you running a kde version | 23:49 |
| n00bzz | how do i set my timezone, systemwide? and get it to stick | 23:49 |
| gmachine_24 | ubuntuaddicted, did you do a search for knotify4? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase-runtime/+bug/736453 | 23:50 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 736453 in kdebase-runtime (Ubuntu) "knotify4 uses 100% CPU despite not Qt/Kde apps being in-use" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 23:50 |
| smkatz | terriblist, if you're still there, I did succeed in the drupal install | 23:51 |
| smkatz | thanks so much for your help | 23:51 |
| gmachine_24 | n00bzz, when you say "systemwide", are you talking about a network or one computer | 23:51 |
| smkatz | also dcherniv | 23:51 |
| n00bzz | gmachine_24, one computer | 23:51 |
| smkatz | I also dpkg -r phpmyadmin | 23:51 |
| gmachine_24 | n00bzz, click on the clock on your taskbar | 23:52 |
| gmachine_24 | then click 'edit' | 23:52 |
| gmachine_24 | click a few things to see what they do | 23:52 |
| n00bzz | sure, i can do that. but i want the time to stick when i reboot | 23:53 |
| gmachine_24 | n00bzz, what happens when you reboot? | 23:53 |
| n00bzz | the time is funky again gmachine_24 | 23:54 |
| gmachine_24 | n00bzz, and are you talking about the time itself or just your time zone, such as EST? | 23:54 |
| gmachine_24 | "funky" does not help | 23:54 |
| n00bzz | i have to reset the time everytime i boot | 23:55 |
| gmachine_24 | n00bzz, how old is your computer? | 23:55 |
| n00bzz | about 12 months | 23:55 |
| gmachine_24 | n00bzz, the only time I had that trouble was when my cmos battery died | 23:56 |
| gmachine_24 | what version of ubuntu are you using? | 23:56 |
| walterwoj | n00bzz: The battery on your motherboard is prolly dead. | 23:56 |
| n00bzz | 12.1 | 23:56 |
| n00bzz | it's only happened, since i installed ubuntu | 23:56 |
| kaddi | can i delete the content of "/var/lib/dpkg.backup" if I need more room, or is important info stored there? | 23:58 |
| gmachine_24 | n00bzz, well, a cmos battery is cheap and will probably fix the problem | 23:59 |
| etfb | I installed Gnome Shell to see if it was better than Unity. It wasn't, so I uninstalled. How do I get Unity back? | 23:59 |
| gmachine_24 | esp if you got the computer used or second hand or whatever they call it these days... "pre-owned" | 23:59 |
| etfb | I'd google it, but Firefox won't load now... | 23:59 |
| gmachine_24 | etfb, you can choose which desktop gui to use @ signin | 23:59 |
