[00:00] ..... I think [00:00] thanks gmachine_24, walterwoj1 [00:00] hello [00:00] etfb, well what desktop are you using then? [00:01] gmachine_24: Looks like old Gnome. Applications and Places menu at the top, taskbar down the bottom. [00:01] etfb, did you try to switch back to unity at the sign in window? [00:01] I'd forgotten I could set it at login. [00:02] Will try now. Bye! [00:02] log out; log in and let us know [00:02] somewhere in there change the desktop [00:02] Sepatar if you have a question or problem, state your businness................ [00:06] if I wanted to use iscsi to mount a zfs pool, would I need zfs installed on the client? [00:08] Trying to install Ubuntu and it just hangs here, any ideas? https://www.dropbox.com/s/1fgfc3fost5je7l/2012-12-22%2000.03.44.jpg?m [00:11] puppy_parade: It depends. If the zfs pool contains something other than a zfs filesystem then you could have the server export the pool and then the client doesn't need to know anything about zfs. [00:12] Hello. I'm having issues with Ubuntu 11.10, as far as I can remember they started after I did a kernel upgrade to 3.1 and have gotten progressively worse after. After the kernel upgrade I immediately got the 'purple screen of death' when trying to boot with the newly installed 3.1 kernel. I subsequently used older kernel versions from that point on to bypass the issue. Just yesterday I did a 400mb update and now I get a black screen and no boot into Xwi [00:12] ndows. So I'm using windows 7 just to do IRC here. Any help would be appreicated, thanks [00:12] thanks Jordan_U [00:12] Azelphur, you have enough space etc. on your hd as asked? === cubix``943 is now known as cubix` === vjn_ is now known as vjn [00:13] gmachine_24: well, it hasn't even got to the partition wizard yet, but yes I do have a 250GB hdd in there [00:14] Azelphur, I'm assuming this is a CD you burned from an iso download. Did you run checksum to make sure the iso is not corrupt? [00:15] Azelphur, other than that, problems typically arise that can be fixed by burning the CD @ the slowest rate possible. [00:15] Azelphur, assuming you have no hardware issues, etc. [00:15] usb [00:15] I'll try an integrity check [00:16] i have a question about installing Ubuntu to a USB stick. can sombody here help me out with my questions? [00:16] MrGizmo757 you must ask the question(s) [00:16] we don't read minds [00:16] I did already try booting up with 'nomodeset' by the way, it hasn't worked. Also, on the bootup with older versions at least I'm getting some commandline output and there is a 'starting to load fallback graffics devices [fail]' message [00:17] puppy_parade: You're welcome. [00:17] Well of course [00:17] anyways. i want to install Ubuntu to a USB stick. but not as a live image. i want to be able to use it as a full OS. retaining all the stuff i put on it. [00:18] if i simply select the USB as the drive to use during the installation proscess with it work? [00:18] MrGizmo757: Just do a normal installation, the same way you would to an internal drive. [00:18] gmachine_24: check finished with no errors [00:19] ok. one more question. if i install it that way can it be used in diffrent machines? or only the one i install it from? you know becuase of configuration with drivers or whatever. [00:19] i think i should have never updated :-( lol [00:19] hello room :) does anyone know a way to get the weather and news to be displayed on desktop using unityunity === Justasic2 is now known as Justasic [00:19] it was just so damn tempting at the time though [00:20] machicola, I don't suppose you have a full back up somewhere [00:21] I think I may have installed ubuntu so that my home folder is backed up which is all i really care about but I would definitely want to check to be sure before I do anyting [00:21] which I'm not sure how to do [00:21] So how can I get an old fashioned Task Bar in Ubuntu Desktop/ Ubiquity whatever it is called.. [00:21] seems to be working now for some reason, I think it didn't like me not having a mouse plugged in [00:22] i did manage to get to the command line somehow at one point [00:22] !help [00:22] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [00:23] gmachine_24, does it sound like I need to reinstall for the most part? [00:23] Anyone?

[00:25] is there a way to use second NICs on 2 machines to speed up concurrent data transfers with a direct connection? [00:25] how do you tell if your home folder is a seperate partition? [00:25] well easiest thing is to remember from when you set it up >.> [00:26] machicola, you can run $sudo gparted [00:26] to see the partitions [00:26] otherwise you can run df -h in command line and see if /home turns up as a partition [00:26] ok, ty [00:26] or $sudo fdisk -l will tell you how many partitions you have [00:26] how many would I typically have if my home folder was partitioned [00:26] two? [00:27] ok [00:27] machicola, at least 3 [00:27] ? [00:27] machicola, root, home and swap [00:27] can anyone help me? I'm trying to upgrade my pgfplots package for LaTeX...using ubuntu 12.04 [00:27] ok, thanks gmachine_24 [00:28] hello all.. jusr rebuilt my server. have a fresh install of 12.10 on it now. For some reason I can see the internal network (computer to computer) but i can't ping out or even ping my router. I've added nameserver to the resolve.conf and restarted. Any ideas? [00:28] slaptman, you still looking for a weather and news desktop app? [00:29] yes please [00:29] lickalott: got a default gateway? [00:29] set it up when i set the static IP in "interfaces" [00:30] uh-huh, got a gateway in there? [00:30] confirm with route -n [00:30] true [00:30] slaptman, did you check the desktop apps? [00:30] but....destination is 0.0.0.0 [00:31] lickalott: can you pastebin the output [00:31] im pretty sure my issue is actually the video driver , i have an ati radeon mobility, but not sure what to do [00:31] http://pastebin.com/nhVr4SMw [00:32] i'm ssh'd into it right now using the internal IP so I know the network card works. [00:32] lickalott: ja that's fine. how strange, reboot didn't alleviate i take it? [00:32] negative [00:33] i can ping the host that I'm on right now (my laptop) but can't get to the router.... it's strange === chuckie is now known as Guest57164 [00:33] slaptman, the weather indicator was removed from the date/time app [00:33] ok im a geust [00:33] gmachine_24 so you need to install it [00:34] lickalott: can you get the web admin of the router? i take it it's not configured to ignore ping? [00:34] new linux user [00:34] lickalott: ignore that, guess you set it up CLI only ;D [00:34] although you could use lynx XD [00:34] slaptman, check the software centre; there are weather apps etc there [00:34] true daftykins [00:34] lickalott: revert it to DHCP for a laugh and see what changes [00:34] k [00:34] brb [00:34] lickalott: you could pastebin your interfaces too [00:35] so how is every one [00:35] hi, how do I get empathy working with msn messenger?

[00:36] this isn't a regular chat room [00:36] nope [00:36] kaddi: they disappear every reboot. but yes [00:36] daftykins: will they get recreated before reboot? i want to upgrade to 12.10 and that needs 4GB of free space [00:37] i only have a 12GB partition, so it's a bit hard for me to make that kind of space.. i'm expecting that after the upgrade and with the packages delted from the cache, there will be more space left [00:37] daftykins - http://pastebin.com/nj6WAdJr [00:37] and then i could easily reboot and allow the files to repopulate [00:37] kaddi: run 'sudo apt-get clean' to get rid of any packages you have atm too. they won't reappear on boot no [00:37] i did already [00:38] i also uninstalled all old kernels [00:38] and ran an autoremove [00:38] good good [00:38] still lacking 900MBs though [00:38] that's why i'm getting desperate [00:38] what happened to ubuntu fitting on a CD >.> === ` is now known as Guest58023 [00:39] kaddi: you don't have any DVDs? or a flash drive? [00:40] don't have a cd-drive and my flash drive, isn't that large either >.> [00:40] lickalott: looks fine that, might be a hardware/driver quirk. no idea what to suggest next i'm afraid, maybe google for your hardware? [00:40] dhcp works fine [00:40] static gives me the finger [00:40] =/ [00:40] did I not set up the interfaces file right? === Guest58023 is now known as Molino [00:41] you wouldn't know of a way to get a list of programs that i haven't used in a long time and could remove, by chance? === tjbiddle_ is now known as tjbiddle [00:42] not me no [00:43] kaddi: got any external HDDs? [00:43] not with me [00:43] an upgrade sounds way too risky in that situation tbh [00:44] it's a dualboot and i have a bootable usb (xpud, only 64MB in size...take that ubuntu ;p) [00:44] so i'm not worried about my data, as I know that I can recover that [00:44] ouch [00:44] xpud being a linux distro, and 64MB is it's size, not the flash drives one ;) [00:47] halp ploXx [00:47] hello [00:47] How to stream the dmesg to tty?

[00:49] mertzz, any of those are okay [00:49] not very intuitive to execute dmesg every once in a while. [00:50] napster, /var/log/messages [00:50] napster: There shouldn't be a need to, really. [00:50] you only have to dmesg when looking for problems [00:50] not once in a while [00:50] not sure if there is a rule about links but - http://linuxfreedom.com/linuxmint/linuxmint.com//stable/14/linuxmint-14.1-mate-dvd-64bit.iso [00:50] do i just click one of those [00:50] yes I'm looking for problems [00:50] you can tail -f /var/log/messages [00:51] or just cat the file [00:51] ok [00:51] thanks afuentes Ambrose [00:51] anybody wanna do a netplay with me [00:52] how come my ubuntu 12.10 can't connect to wireless internet when my mac and android phone can?

I can right click and select a few basic options (new folder, change background image, etc) but can't really do anything. Anyone know what I need to do to get it to load the desktop program thing? Thx [00:57] daftykins, apparently it doesn't like being setup statically [00:58] < [00:58] afuentes, does that pastebin post mean you're having boot problems? sorry... I faded away there [00:58] any ideas? i have it ported through he.net and don't want to run the risk of the DHCP addy changing while I'm away [00:58] lickalott: can you try and lock it down through your router's DHCP scope instead? [00:58] static lease. [00:58] how come my ubuntu 12.10 can't connect to wireless internet when my mac and android phone can? [00:58] lickalott: or if nobody else is around, make a DHCP pool of one addy :D [00:58] ^5's daftykins....forgot I had that option [00:59] np :) [00:59] gmachine_24, yup, im having boot problems... this paste http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1456025/ is from boot-repair to help diagnose === Guest58765 is now known as McPeter [00:59] im not new in linux, but this has gotten quite complex since i used to format my partitions :( [01:00] and i need help [01:01] afuentes, yes, I see. That post is way above my pay grade, sorry. [01:01] Glad to see you're all here and doing well after 21 Dec 2012! [01:02] gmachine_24, :( [01:02] KI4RO: Got a few more hours in this TZ, but glad to know :p [01:03] seems no one can help me [01:03] Ambrose, LOL...It was supposed to happen at 1111 UTC, so you're safe...Happy Holidays [01:03] I just installed kde (kde-plasma-desktop) and it wouldn't log in due to a memory problem. I fixed it with "sudo ln -s /tmp /var/tmp" but I'm worried it may be a sign of something worse being wrong (I shouldn't have had to do that...) [01:04] KI4RO: Ah shit, didn't know, well, guess I won't sent this nasty e-mail to my boss after all then :( [01:04] hey everyone, i have a few questions about this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/How%20to%20install%20Ubuntu%20on%20MacBook%20using%20USB%20Stick [01:05] Ambrose for vnc - you really should set it up to use a very lightweight desktop. or just a window manager. by default it may be trying to use UNITY witch will not work very well over vnc [01:05] first: when i "dd the whole USB stick to that partition." in step 4 of the Macbook Air section (that's what I have), do dd the actual contents of the usb or do i dd the img file [01:06] and what command do I use for either? [01:06] Ambrose: i tend to use just openbox over vnc. it can get very laggy with a full desktop [01:06] dr_willis: Ok I will check that out, thx [01:06] DarwinSurvivor: thats weird.. the only thing in /var/tmp here is a kde tmp file.. nothing in /tmp// that i see kde related. [01:07] not sure why kde would use /var/tmp instead of /tmp/ === Dext is now known as dext [01:07] dr_willis: I think it might have something to do with booting into text only (init 2 sorta deal), so I'm just changing it back to the default to see if that makes any difference first [01:08] Will an IPOD work on an UBUNTU machine? [01:08] Ambrose: vnc can share the current desktop (how vino works) or can have its own stand alone hidden desktops. (how tightvncserver, and vnc4server work) [01:08] Ambrose: you can edit your .vnc/xstartup to run whatever desktop or windowmanager you want [01:08] KI4RO, if you mean can you lead music, etc., yes [01:08] *load music [01:08] hi, is there a program in Ubuntu where I can link my Hotmail inbox to, instead of using Hotmail website every time? [01:08] Ambrose: text only mode shouldent matter. [01:09] Ambrose: unless kdes kdm is somehow setting up a tmp file for the users [01:09] dr_willis: Yeah the xstartup is set to stat Xsession (or something) [01:09] gmachine_24, Yes, that is what I meant and thank you [01:09] dr_willis: I created a test icon in VNC and now when I reboot into full window mode that icon is on my 'regular' desktop when I physically login [01:09] Wasn't expectingi that [01:09] Ambrose: perhaps set it to run whatver command starts kde if thats what you want. But i always set mine to run a simple window manager . like openbox. or jwm [01:09] KI4RO well once upon a time I used gtkpod; I don't know if that is still around [01:09] Ambrose: your users home is the same.. so it would be the same..

[01:11] dr_willis: Well, at first I wanted the seperate desktops, but now I think it'll be better to have one common desktop between physical and virtual sessions [01:11] can anyone suggest a channel for a unbuntu beginner? [01:12] dr_willis: Since I rarely use the physical setup, but once and a while it'll be nice if it's the same one that I'm used to using over vnc/rdp whatever [01:12] macs, this is sort of for beginners [01:13] dr_willis: You recommend vino then?

Just remove that ppa [02:15] good for you Guest57164 [02:15] thank u [02:15] neo69: that repository doesn't have packages for precise [02:15] ceradon file system check, usually one would boot live media like usb or ubuntu cd and use gparted to check the partition for you or command line fsck /dev/sda1 which ever your drive partition is [02:15] i like linux more [02:16] Yup you gonna have a lot of fun guarantee === marvin is now known as Guest4506 [02:19] 12.10 I installed each one of the nVidia drivers on my machine with GTS-250 and now I can't get back to nouveau. i selected it in the hardware drivers area of software sources [02:19] in the system settings now the display only does 800x480 or so [02:19] been struggling all day. any ideas? [02:20] Fudge, I ran sudo fsck /dev/sdc1, what does that do? Do you want me to paste the output? [02:20] ceradon is sdc1 an extra hard drive? [02:21] Fudge, no it's the flash drive. [02:21] I'm going to cry. I can't get the wifi to work on my MBA to save my freaking life. I can build Wayland and GTK and run a nightly kernel, but Wifi is impossible. [02:21] ubuntu makes me cry too [02:21] Maybe the bcm kernel source package doesn't build on purpose because it's broken or something. [02:22] I make ubuntu cry [02:22] ceradon if you install gparted or already have it installed, for you I would suggest you run sudo gparted and right click the thumb drive and check, then apply [02:23] hey, does anyone know how I can tell if my HDD is in AHCI mode or RAID mode or IDE directly from Ubuntu? [02:23] I've had this same issue for the last 5 years, it's incredibly disheartening to come back year after year to find the wifi support so miserable. I'd kill to keep ubuntu on my desktop but everytime I'm driven back to install OS X. [02:24] It doesn't help that one of the drivers is broken - the DKMS module fails to build in 12.10 despite that it was an issue raised in 12.04 as well. Worked around that only to find out that this driver is no better than the original that it ships with out of the box. [02:24] thanks for the root [02:24] magn3ts_ can you look in system settings additional drivers? [02:24] Further, if you make the mistake of installing the bcm-kernel-source, removing it leaves you with *no* drivers. === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [02:25] if there are broken dkms modules perhaps dpkg-reconfiguring them will build into the kernel again [02:25] Fudge: the Additional Drivers in software sources is the bcmwl-kernel-source package. I'm currently using it. Fudge, no, it's broken as in the includes in one of the .c files is simply wrong and it hasn't been fixed. [02:25] I fixed it myself, ran dpkg-reconfigure and now have a wifi card that only works when the AC is plugged in :( [02:26] (and if I remove bcmwl-kernel-source it does not fail back over to the original driver. at this point, I'd be happy with that, even if it means my internet crawls at dial up speed) [02:27] thank u for the root [02:27] int return [02:27] magn3ts_ that is weird, are there bugs on the problem and can you submit a patch for inclusion for updating [02:28] Both were already done for 12.04 and there is an outstanding issue for 12.10 also. [02:28] int return = false [02:28] oh mate... I can see your frustration then [02:28] Like I said, it seems to have regressed in 12.04->12.10.

(Which means the "Additional Drivers" dialog broke the revert process, nice.) [02:50] Somehow this makes me think that not a lot of testing happens on Mac devices. I'll do some more investigation and write a blog post and hope that I can get it in front of the right eyeballs.

Find some other channel to test on, sheesh. [02:54] Guest81729, take all chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [03:01] Okay, I've concluded it must be a power saving thing. [03:01] No idea how to fix this though. [03:02] Or why someone's script would have this setting in it. That's what I get for trusting the "you can safely run this script" nonsense. [03:06] #vnc [03:06] i have problem in setting up vnc in ubuntu. any help? [03:10] # enable power save on wlan <- I bet this is the source of all of my nightmares. [03:11] Nope.

[03:15] That after about 3 minutes off my power supply my wireless stops working.

[03:21] can ubuntu work on my netbook [03:21] asus 1015CX [03:21] or i must download UNR [03:21] john1: First Google result for "asus 1015cx ubuntu": http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201203-10687/ [03:22] thx [03:22] Looks like it should work fine, looks like there are lots of ppl in the forum using it. [03:22] magn3ts_, it does say, "Standard images of Ubuntu may not work at all on the system or may not work well, though Canonical and computer manufacturers will try to certify the system with future standard releases of Ubuntu." [03:24] john1, nevertheless, it is promising that they do offer the ASUS EeePC with Ubuntu pre installed.

[03:26] magn3ts_, he probably couldn't wait to install ubuntu on his eepc! [03:26] anyone for me ? [03:30] * m0ka hello ? [03:31] Greetings [03:35] m0ka, just ask your question. If someone has the knowledge to help with your problem, they'll let you know. [03:36] PJSingh5000, i did [03:36] im having a error effective uid is not 0 [03:36] my lap cant use INTERNET even [03:37] m0ka, oh, I see it further up. [03:38] PJSingh5000, problem is no body replied [03:38] m0ka, when do you get this error? What are you attempting to do?.. just connect to internet? [03:39] nothing I accidentally added /home/myaccount 777 permission [03:39] after that I started to get this error [03:39] now I can run any sudo command [03:40] PJSingh5000, [03:40] m0ka, so you've granted full access to your home folder to everyone. [03:40] i guess PJSingh5000 [03:40] m0ka, you did this on the commandline, using chmod? [03:40] how can I fix it [03:41] chmod [03:41] I dnt know what are the permission it had and can I do without having sudo [03:42] m0ka, one sec... [03:42] m0ka: You can change the permissions on your home folder without sudo, yes. [03:42] Flannel, thanks [03:43] if you can tell me how . that would be great i want to have the default permissions [03:43] Flannel, [03:43] m0ka: Is that the exact command you ran? are you sure? [03:43] yes [03:44] actually I didnt run it . one of my friend did . thats what he said what he did [03:44] m0ka: Alright, to set it back, `chmod 700 /home/myaccount`, but I don't think that's the command, or at least not the only one, since that wouldn't cause a sudo error like that. [03:44] Flannel, [03:46] ok [03:46] wait [03:46] i'll restart and see [03:46] I'm on ubuntu 12.10 (System76 pangolin performance), and whenver I set a program to start in fullscreen mode, it only shows the top quorter of the screen. [03:46] m0ka: restarting shouldn't matter at all. [03:46] Does anyone know what would cause that and how to make it show the whole application? [03:46] THank you. [03:47] :/ lol Flannel already did [03:47] Flannel, would not m0ka need to include the -R switch with chmod? [03:47] I have no idea how to go about debugging this. [03:48] PJSingh5000: Not if he didn't include the -R the first time (which he claimed not to). But even with -R, he wouldn't get that error. Other errors, yes, but not that error. [03:48] PJSingh5000: And if he did, simply adding recursion to that command wouldn't be a correct fix anyway. [03:49] Leif, try going to "CompizConfig Settings Manager", then select "Composite", then check "Undirect Full Screenwindows" [03:50] Flannel, it looks to me like m0ka is trying to run a command that requires root privileges, and the system is warning him that he is not user 0 (root) ??? [03:50] PJSingh5000, yes thats what happening [03:51] PJSingh5000: Interesting, it worked, but I would also like it to fill the whole screen rather than remaining small. [03:51] m0ka: What command are you running when you get that error? [03:51] Flannel, it sounds like m0ka friend tried to get around this by setting permissions on home folder to rwx all. [03:51] PJSingh5000: Is that possible? Otherwise thanks. [03:51] PJSingh5000: We certainly don't have all of the information, this is correct [03:52] Leif, well, Compiz does not work well with full screen windows. This is a work-around that might help. See if it works, if not, put it back. (They leave it off by default because it is a bit "glitchy."). Give it a shot. [03:54] PJSingh5000: Hmm...thanks. I'll see if I can tweek it to work. [03:54] PJSingh5000: Basically, what's happening now is that it just popps up in the upper left corner without resizing anything. [03:55] Flannel, when I do chmod -R 700 /home/account . Im getting operation not permitted [03:55] m0ka: Where did the -R come from? [03:55] Leif, that is wierd. I guess you can put it back. What graphich chip does your machine have? [03:55] intell hd 4000 [03:55] Flannel, just wanted to see what happens [03:55] PJSingh5000: intell hd 4000 [03:56] PJSingh5000: It's just a syste76 machine [03:56] Leif, one sec, let me check something... [03:56] Im not sure what he exactly did . only thing he did . use chmod 777 on /home/account [03:56] http://95.211.210.229/ [03:57] m0ka: Well, permission denied is a strange error for that if it's *your* home folder. Something else is going on. Second, setting everything to execute (700) is not the way you want to 'fix' it either. [03:57] Flannel, perhaps m0ka needs sudo chmod ? But this will probably fix his home folder problem, not the uid 0 problem. [03:58] PJSingh5000: No, you shouldn't need to use sudo on anything in your home folder. If you have to, something else is wrong and you're going to have more problems. [03:59] PJSingh5000, getting the same error "sudo : effective uid is not 0 , is sudo installed setuid root ?" [03:59] m0ka: What command do you get that error with? [04:00] sudo chmod -R 700 /home/account [04:01] PJSingh5000: Odd, When I unchecked the box, it still stays that way [04:02] PJSingh5000: And it works fine on another game... :/ [04:03] I want to know what good media players that can install h.254 codec for players that play hd videos on debian [04:03] umm Flannel [04:03] ? [04:04] Leif, may be it is an issue with the game itself. You could also try using the latest xorg driver for your intel chip. I am assuming that "HD Graphics" listed on this page (www.x.org/wiki/IntelGraphicsDriver) is the same chip you have. === |_ocke2 is now known as |_ocke [04:05] Leif, if it is, you could also try putting Option "AccelMethod" "sna" into /etc/X11/xorg.conf as shown here: www.webupd8.org/2012/10/how-to-enable-intel-sna-acceleration-in.html [04:06] PJSingh5000: Okay, reading about it, thanks. [04:06] m0ka, is it really your home directory you are working with. What does it say when you type whoami on the command line? [04:07] Leif, out of curiosity, which game is behaving like this? [04:07] tell me my account name [04:08] m0ka, and the folder you are trying to change permissions on has the EXACT name as your account name, right? [04:08] PJSingh5000: The ones I've tried are: Holotz Castle, mupen64plus, portal 2 (via playonlinux), and I know there wre a few others I tried in the past but just deleted them after they didn't work. [04:08] Thanks [04:09] yes [04:09] I dont have anyother account [04:10] PJSingh5000: Oh, I think I figured out why it was doing it for mupen64plus, it seems to keep the previous rendering settings unless they are specifically changed. [04:11] Leif, ha ha. I guess that's why tech support always asks, "Is it plugged in?" as the 1st question. Sometimes it's the simplest thing! [04:12] m0ka, it seems like you don't even have permissions to change your own account. This was not happening until your friend did something? [04:13] PJSingh5000: True, well it just solves this application, I appreciate the help you gave me though, thanks. [04:13] PJSingh5000, no [04:13] :/ [04:13] what do you get if you type "groups" and press enter? [04:13] m0ka, what do you get if you type "groups" and press enter? [04:14] m0ka: who is the owner & group of your home dir? [04:14] PJSingh5000, if you could give me a minit ,I have go out . [04:14] I'll be back in few minits [04:16] m0ka, when you get back, erncic has a good point. See what it says if you type ls -l /home. Your user name should be listed twice (as owner and group) next to your home directory. [04:21] PJSingh5000, when I type group I have avaible ground i guess I get a list of group names [04:22] m0ka, does it have your OWN name listed? [04:22] in group I dont have my name [04:22] but I have root in it [04:22] m0ka, Ahh. [04:23] also in my home dir permission it has my account name and then root as the group [04:23] m0ka, your user id is in the root group, but you are not in a group that is named after your own user. [04:24] PJSingh5000, yes I guess :/ [04:24] what can I do for it [04:25] m0ka, is your name listed if you type the following: less /etc/group [04:26] m0ka: if you type 'id ' is your uid & gid 1000? [04:26] m0ka, press the "Q" key to quit when you are done looking through the list of groups. [04:27] Hey, is anyone here a real a -hole? - for real. [04:27] PJSingh5000, in less /etc/group root:x:0:account_name [04:27] erncic, also why would a user have "root" group membership on a Ubuntu box? Shuldn't it just be "sudo" membership per a default installation? [04:28] I want to know what good media players that can install h.254 codec for players that play hd videos on debian [04:28] subcool, besides you? [04:28] yeah--- [04:28] no [04:28] PJSingh5000, yeah, I am wondering if /etc/passwd or /etc/group got blitzed [04:28] there is always someone... [04:28] subcool, looking for a mate? [04:28] lol - no. [04:28] or for a cinnamon ? [04:29] im writing something, and i need a pro's opinion [04:29] m0ka, your user id does not appear in the listing on a line by itself? [04:29] dont look at me. === dharmaturtle2 is now known as dharmaturtle [04:29] uid = 1000 (account_name) gid = 0 (root) group = 0 (root) erncic [04:29] PJSingh5000, what do you mean user id ? [04:30] PJSingh5000, I had him run an 'id ' [04:30] erncic, that output looks wrong. [04:31] PJSingh5000, it is..... [04:31] PJSingh5000, wrong, that is. [04:31] PJSingh5000, without sudo ... yuck!!! [04:32] erncic, I was thinking m0ka might be able to add himself to a group with his userId, and to sudo group. But it looks like the group 1000 does not exist. [04:32] PJSingh5000, my name was in the less /etc/group [04:33] m0ka, were you or your friend trying to grant root privileges to your userId? [04:33] any idea of hardware compatibility for the IdeaPad S405? can't find anything on google [04:33] PJSingh5000, i have no idea what he was trying to do === komputes_ is now known as komputes [04:33] so I have a live usb stick of 12.04 with persistent storage. How can I upgrade that stick to 12.10 without losing that storage? [04:36] m0ka: 'sudo su' gives you an effective user id error, right? [04:36] Sazpaimon, that would be a problem, 12.10 iso is bigger than 12.04 [04:36] m0ka, my initial thought is that you need to create a defaulr group for your user id. [04:36] erncic, yes [04:37] PJSingh5000, how can I do without running as root ? [04:37] erncic, m0ka could run something like groupadd --gid 1000 `whoami` [04:37] Hello, world. This isn't my question exactly, but my friend's. His computer has an nVidia graphics card, and he tried installing the newer post-release-upgrades drivers through this utility: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=drivers_dialog.png [04:38] However, he now cannot get the X server to start, and is texting me how to get it up and running. [04:38] PJSingh5000, I don't know if you can run that outside sudo? [04:38] We wanted to know how to switch the driver from the command line, in the same way said dialog window would do it. [04:38] OerHeks, so? it's not a dvd, it's a usb stick [04:38] Anyone have any ideas? [04:38] how do I permanently disable the touchpad in 12.04 ? I'm running it on a thinkpad [04:38] m0ka, I am WONDERING if perhaps you actually can become root on that system of yours? What happens if you type su root ? [04:39] mns: http://askubuntu.com/questions/65951/how-to-disable-touchpad [04:39] Sazpaimon, "without losing that storage" is the problem, back it up and restore it after a fresh 12.10 install [04:39] PJSingh5000, no password as a default in Ubuntu, unless his friend changed that. [04:39] PJSingh5000: lol, it also turns out that changing it to full screen changes the output sound device (from hdmi to my laptop speakers...) [04:39] OerHeks, I'm not installing ubuntu [04:40] I'm using a live usb stick with a persistent storage loopback file [04:40] asking for a password [04:40] erncic, I know. I'm wondering if they setup root w/ a password. Looks like they were trying to do something like that. [04:40] I havnt set a password for root [04:40] m0ka, try your password [04:40] auth fail [04:40] [04:40] m0ka, ok [04:40] PJSingh5000, yeah... [04:40] Try sudo su root, not sudo su. [04:40] Er, not su root. [04:41] m0ka, if you type 'groups', do you see sudo in the list? [04:41] Tynach,the user m0ka is working with is not a member of sudoers [04:41] Ah. [04:41] Sazpaimon, well yes, you install the live iso to the stick, but it takes more space, so it overwrites your persistent part. [04:41] Maybe su into a user that is, then sudo su. [04:41] erncic, no [04:41] komputes: I've tried that already. it only works for a short time. then itt gets enabled again somehow. [04:41] OerHeks, well, what happens if I do do-release-upgrade from within the live usb session? [04:42] will it break everything? [04:42] mns: odd worked for me, let me try rebooting [04:42] this is what happens when i drag and drop from the search menu(tab)>>> http://imgh.us/Screenshot_from_2012-12-21_22:39:16.png [04:42] how do i fix this [04:43] Tynach, error "sudo : effective uid is not 0 , is sudo installed setuid root ?" [04:43] PJSingh5000, I don't know what to do here except booting a live cd and repair his groups. [04:43] it does not display the icon image [04:44] erncic, if I boot with a live cd can u tell me what to do ? [04:44] i think i know why, it is root [04:45] okay well that didnt work [04:45] m0ka, I am looking for a guide or something... I would not want to fumble my way through it via IRC. [04:45] so basically what I need to do is backup casper-rw and re-flash the usb stick with 12.10? [04:45] will that work? [04:45] Sazpaimon, yes [04:45] erncic, it is still a big job. He has to create all of the default groups. I think the sudo group doesn't exist at all on his system. [04:46] PJSingh5000, I know... is a reinstall going to be easier or not... [04:46] OerHeks, but wouldnt the contents of casper-rw still have precise on it? [04:47] Anyone active and willing to help? [04:47] because I'm looking at casper-rw, and I'm seeing a lot of stuff like /var/lib/dpkg/status that would conflict with whatever is on quantal [04:48] erncic, suppose m0ka dis a mv to his home folder to to some other name, like "backup". Then he does a reinstall, but makes sure NOT to select format. After the reinstall, he will have all of his home folder settings, and data. Then he can copy his files from the backup folder into the new home folder. I'm sure he can also copy his settings from backup, also. But there's got to be a simpler, less risky way???? [04:49] erncic, *dis = did [04:49] :/ [04:49] m0ka: see if this makes sense to you... http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [04:49] honestly I dont think what I want is possible [04:50] What is the name of Unity's dock's feature, which allows the app icons to behave both as launchers and as window buttons [04:50] i cant run do-release-upgrade because I only have a 2GB persistent FS and it's mostly full [04:51] so I guess I need to start fresh.. oh well [04:51] erncic, lets see what happens [04:51] i'll try [04:51] m0ka, this could help... ccollins.wordpress.com/2007/07/02/restore-default-ubuntu-groups/ [04:51] m0ka: feel free to ask questions as you go if you need. [04:52] m0ka, however, you NO LONGER have the default Ubuntu grous, as far as I can tell. [04:52] why is it sometimes when i do 'fdisk -l' i get no output [04:53] what is the most beautiful scifi tech theme for kde ? [04:53] m0ka, it is up to you, a reinstall would fix any other little "fixes" that were thrown in there... might be a better way to go. [04:53] machicola, you need to be sudo or root [04:55] acu_ is that typical that I wouldn''t get an error message? i.e. just returned to user@suchandsuch [04:55] its not giving me a msg for need to be root [04:55] machicola, yes, you would not get any special message - if you have no rights - the command is not available [04:55] you need to add yourself to sudoers [04:56] m0ka, do have important data on your machine? Do you happen to have a separate partition you could copy it to? If not, use the cp -R command to at least copy your current home/ folder to something else. Be sure to NOT reformat when you reinstall. [04:56] ok, ty [04:56] gonna try again [04:56] PJSingh5000, he needs sudo to do the restore ubuntu groups. [04:57] erncic, it's a "catch 22" [04:58] PJSingh5000, exactly.... Yuck, like I said before. [05:01] remember, cp command is non destructive, mv command is destructive. [05:03] Well, my friend got his drivers sorted out. Later all. === Guest59873 is now known as di_giorgio === ericab is now known as ericab_away [05:16] In 12.04 the Light DM "user background" feature can read from /home//Pictures. But in 12.10, only user backgrounds from /usr/share/backgrounds/ are shown on the Light DM screen. Did Canonical disable this flexibility of the "user background" feature without telling us, or is my system messed up? [05:17] I have an executable called adb. Now Every time i execute I need to give sudo . I know i need to add the path to adb somewhere so that it doesn't require sudo everytime. Can anyone tell me how to do that ? [05:19] arkiver, it sounds more like adb requires root privileges to run, rather than needing to specify it's location. === 16SAAQSF5 is now known as Justasic [05:23] How can I change my nameserver so it can survive a reboot? [05:23] devnill: your nameserver or your hostname? [05:24] nameserver [05:25] devnill: how are you setting it now that it's not persisitng? [05:25] magn3ts_: Resolv.conf [05:25] devnill: do you use network-manager? [05:26] no? [05:26] Is it possible to bridge a wireless internet signal and output it via a laptop's ethernet port? Running 12.10. [05:26] acolytetojippity: sure. [05:27] they're network ports, doesn't matter which direction you go with it. I use network-manager to do that without issue. [05:27] magn3ts_, would a windows desktop be able to use the port then? [05:27] devnill: sorry, I can't help, I was thinking "dns server" when you wrote nameserver. [05:27] acolytetojippity: sure. [05:27] ah, yeah [05:28] I want to make it so I can point it to 8.8.8.8 instead of whatever the router uses [05:28] acolytetojippity: I've used it with an Xbox. as long as the internet connection sharing bit also runs a dhcp server it should be easy. [05:28] magn3ts_, sweet. are there any special stept to take, or is it as easy as bridging a connection on windows? [05:28] devnill: do you use a desktop environment? [05:28] devnill: like gnome? [05:28] I do, I'm running xfce [05:28] devnill: you should be able to set that from xfce's network config gui... [05:28] devnill: you are just setting the dns servers, I recognize 8.8.8.8.... [05:29] yeah [05:29] magn3ts_, wait, as long as what runs a dhcp server? I'm looking to bridge my house's wifi through to my non-wireless-anabled desktop. [05:29] 8.8.8.8 4.4.4.4 are google dns servers [05:29] 4.4.4.4 predates Google. [05:30] 8.8.8.8 is though, along with 8.8.4.4 [05:30] there is a section for 'additional dns servers' [05:30] but it still is using the default [05:30] acolytetojippity: just try it, you could've activated it half a dozen times in the time you've been here :) [05:30] devnill: how do you know? [05:31] OpenDNS filters .onion sites [05:31] and i'm getting an openDNS page whenever i try to resolve [05:31] devnill: depending on what you're doing, you might be better off running tails in a VM. [05:31] tails? [05:31] https://tails.boum.org/ [05:32] i'm a little tempted to gut the ubuntu method for resolv.conf [05:32] I don't get what benefit it even has :P [05:32] it's a secure small linux distro that boots into a relatively safe environment for getting on tor. It catches all of the things that most people aren't aware will leak their identity. [05:32] devnill, /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base - add the nameserver in there to persist. [05:32] lol, i won't have the opportunity until tomorrow when i get home for christmas break. My room back in my 'rents house doesn't have ethernet. I'm trying to iron out any issues that I can and understand what to do before i am without internet to ask these questions [05:32] thanks! [05:32] devnill: you /are/ connecting to tor right? [05:32] i am [05:32] Okay :) just checking. [05:32] the torcheck site says so at least :P [05:33] anyway, tails is impossible to screw up. Leaking DNS requests sucks, flash leaking your identity sucks, cookie contamination sucks. Just depends on how careful you need to be. also, I'm veering off topic. good luck. [05:34] acolytetojippity: you should be good to go. I didn't even google it. Just tried it and it worked exactly as I expected. Edit Connections -> Wired Connection -> edit -> IPv4 settings -> Share to other computers. And you're good to go. [05:34] devnill, if you are running a web server on that machine. You will need to lock down apache.I had a case once where someone in China tried to relay email through my php install [05:35] magn3ts_, sweet. I was just worried about the windows/linux interplay. thanks for the help! [05:35] Mechdave: Its OK, i'm not running apache, this is basically a glorified thin client [05:35] acolytetojippity: oh, it's all TCP at that point, no need to sweat. [05:35] Also, iptables [05:35] oh and he's gone. heh. [05:38] I can't get over how slow #ubuntu is. Is it because of the holidays? [05:38] hey [05:38] what graphics card should i get [05:38] (and by slow I mean inactive, not latency slow) [05:38] hello, i have athinkpad w510 and my lcd backlight brightness controls don't work after upgrading to 12.10. it shows the OSD brightness bar moving but no change in brightness occurs [05:39] graphics / mboard should i get for an ubuntu machine? === rob_the_orig is now known as fool [05:39] MrWibbles: that depends. [05:39] i only want one so i can have 3 or 4 monitors [05:39] otherwise i'd just use onboard [05:39] MrWibbles: mobo shouldn't be an issue if you go mainstream. what are you looking to do with the graphics card? Game or .... Oh. [05:39] nah no games [05:39] Yeah, that was going to be my advice. I can't advise for more than 2 monitors, sorry. [05:39] maybe run photoshop in a windows vm === fool is now known as notfool [05:40] (meaning I can't give you any helpful advice, because I don't know, not saying I'm discouraging you from using 4 monitors :P) [05:40] oh yeah.. maybe i'll just stick with two [05:40] anyone know how to get my brightness to work again? it seems to work during bootup, but noth once x starts [05:40] but it would be nice to have the security camera feeds on the other one [05:40] ones* [05:41] MrWibbles: I would *assume* that if my nvidia card/driver will drive two that it would drive two more on my other outputs, I literally just haven't tried, and currently don't have the working monitors to do so or else I'd give it a shot for you. [05:42] hrm, it works if i switch to virtual console temporarily [05:42] Otherwise, I lean nvidia but not for a super great reason. It's worked well in the past. [05:42] peepsalot: are the keys not bound correctly under your DE? [05:42] peepsalot: (I'm just guessing here) [05:42] yeah i always use nvidia usually [05:42] magn3ts_, like i said the OSD controls show in gui, but it doesn't really change brightness [05:43] peepsalot: :( [05:44] I am trying to run flashtool on my ubuntu. " No Java in specified path in JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun " How do i solve this ? [05:44] has anyone tried using TPM with ubuntu? [05:44] MrWibbles: I'd love to! I have an article you might like, let me find it. [05:45] (I can't because I have a Macbook Air) === notfool is now known as theotherrob [05:45] The article talks all about locking down a laptop... all the way to keep the OTF FDE key in the CPU rather than in memory. :D [05:45] Preventing cold-boot memory attacks. Very cool stuff. [05:46] yeah.. i've got to come up with a server [05:46] which i can give to other people [05:46] and it has to be next to impossible to reverse-engineer the software [05:46] without just seeing the interface and copying that :) [05:46] haha [05:47] Uh. That's not going to work :/ [05:47] If they can boot it, they can read the bits off the disc... [05:47] I want to install modelio on my 12.04 64 bit system.

Details about the problem and what libraries are needed can be seen here -> http://pastebin.com/KJsHy2J0 [05:47] magn3tn: nah, disk encryption [05:48] but then they can just read the decryption key out and then decrypt the disk... [05:48] they'll have the key or else they'lll never be able to boot it? [05:48] nah decryption key is stored on the TPM key [05:48] TPM chip [05:48] can someone please walk me through this cause I really want to start learning about this software and what it does [05:48] and they are built to be impossible to get it off [05:49] MrWibbles: I'd freeze the RAM and then pull the binary out of memory and dasm it. [05:49] Obviously that's ramping up a bit. TPM+FDE would be good. [05:49] what's in memory isin't going to be very useful [05:49] that's not nice code.. easy to edit [05:50] * magn3ts_ coughs and it sounds like "open source is cool though :(" [05:50] either way, good luck, we're off topic and the new episode of Fringe is up and I'm shaking from excitement to watch it.

So I do a search in synaptic for libatk and get a butload of stuff with that in it but not exaclty the way the requirement lists it (as merely "libatk"). How do I find out what one I really need?

My old computer only has CD drive [06:05] ubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386 is 753MB [06:05] there are alternative versions read about it they weight less [06:05] or use debian [06:06] Where are the alternate versions located at? [06:06] chirag1: 12.04 should still be available, and easily put on a CD. [06:06] You can also upgrade to 12.10 from there, if you so choose. [06:06] ok thanks!

[06:37] Sven_vB: yes [06:37] install an app called modelio Details: http://pastebin.com/KJsHy2J0 [06:39] Rengistan: does it look like this? http://www.newtechnology.co.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Micromax-MMX-352G.jpg [06:39] I think I'm making some headway. Been googling the library names+ubuntu 12.04 and using synaptic (among other things) [06:39] tomreyn: exactly [06:40] ClientAlive: generally, don'ttouch libc, it's a very good way to shoot your feet [06:41] ClientAlive: by "don't touch" i mean you shouldn't try to upgrade or downgrade it to some other version (other than security updates, of course) [06:42] how to ssh a server over a proxy / [06:42] tomreyn: oh, ok. don't want to break anything, just want modelio. I remember the last time I treid to install it was a real pain - and I never did get it working. [06:42] lemonsparrow: what kind of proxy, one you choose or one that is enforced on you? [06:43] Rengistan, you could try general modem tutorials for the hardware part, then the ixconn or MWconn tutorial for the wireless connection part. [06:43] Sven_vB: link? [06:43] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/SetUpDialer ? [06:43] Rengistan, i don't have one at hand, sorry [06:45] tomreyn: one which is enforced on me.. my network is over a proxy.. so to ssh I have to also get through the proxy ryt ? so I cant simply do ssh -p 22 user@host.com [06:46] lemonsparrow, Have a look here --> http://daniel.haxx.se/docs/sshproxy.html [06:47] Hi everyone!! [06:47] Mechdave: I am following these steps.. I guess the same thing.. http://www.mtu.net/~engstrom/ssh-proxy.php is that ok ? [06:47] How to shorten urls from the terminal? [06:49] lemonsparrow, So you are tunneling ssh through port 80 to get through a firewall? [06:50] no 3128 [06:51] Morning! [06:51] lemonsparrow, righto same deal. As long as you have corkscrew working properly and you have your ssh server set up correctly it should all be good :) [06:52] Mechdave: I installed corckscrew and now I get this error : /bin/bash: line 0: exec: corkscrew: not found ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host [06:52] FireAndIce: https://startpage.com/do/search?q=url+shortener+api+bash+OR+perl+OR+python [06:53] lemonsparrow, are you trying to use an authenticated proxy? [06:53] anyone running ubuntu on a XIOS DS? [06:53] Mechdave: means ? [06:53] Hi all, how can i make a archive mirror of a particular ubuntu release? [06:54] I prefer rsync for the same. [06:54] lemonsparrow, I mean, when you use the proxy do you have to put in a user/password combination? [06:54] Mechdave: yes [06:54] Mechdave: I guess it should automatically prompt for pwd while sshing ryt ? [06:55] lemonsparrow, Right then you have to set up ssh to auto authenticate through the proxy and then authenticate with yo [06:55] lemonsparrow, your ssh server [06:55] Mechdave: how to check if corkscrew got installed or not ? [06:56] Mechdave: how to do that ? [06:56] Mechdave: my ssh config looks this now : [06:56] lemonsparrow, have a look in /usr/local/bin for the binary [06:56] Host * ProxyCommand corkscrew usern@host:3128 %h %p === tomreyn_ is now known as tomreyn [06:56] Mechdave: u mean ls in /usr/local/bin ? I didnt find corkscrew folder in there [06:57] lemonsparrow, Have a read on the same page about Other Tricks with HTTP-Proxies [06:57] Mechdave: $ corkscrew The program 'corkscrew' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install corkscrew [06:57] lemonsparrow, make sure you can run corkscrew from a terminal [06:57] Mechdave: can I install corckscrew using apt-get ? [06:57] Mechdave: yes I am running it from terminal only :) [06:58] lemonsparrow, yes you can apt-get install corkscrew [06:58] Mechdave: i did it and now it shows stuff [06:58] Mechdave: so now leme try sshing again [06:59] Привет) [06:59] lemonsparrow, cool now have a look below the heading Other Tricks with HTTP-Proxies on the setup page youhave been following...

[07:01] i cant trust using a system.without security.software [07:01] blue1 do.you run antivirus and antimalware? [07:01] MonkWitDaFunk: ahh - I have been running Linux for over 7 years, and have NEVER run an a/v scanner. [07:02] !av | MonkWitDaFunk [07:02] MonkWitDaFunk: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [07:02] :( i need help.with using.free.avg [07:02] what tomreyn said. [07:03] Mechdave: dude help :) [07:03] Saying you can't trust a system without security software is a statement that literally makes no sense. [07:03] MonkWitDaFunk: try a windows channel - sorry [07:03] [_-S1L3NC3-_]: what's a "deb list"? [07:03] lemonsparrow, Now you possibly have a problem with your ssh server... The proxy asked you for your user/password? [07:03] Just imagine that linux has the antivirus software built in.

Ubuntu is sharing the internet connection directly with the wireless network [07:59] hey all, I'm looking for an app that does something fairly specific, but is quite common among web developers.

I need to make a router out of my ubuntu install [07:59] no thanks? [07:59] Basically, I want to watch /foo, and if any file in /foo or its subdirs is changed, I want it rsynced to an ssh location [07:59] hacktrad: That is exactly, what NAT does. [07:59] any recommendations? [07:59] erncic, I dont undertand what happend :/ [07:59] alimj: any guides? [08:00] hacktard: NAT shares one valid IP with many computers.

Do not set IPs on other computers. Use DHCP on them. [08:01] mOka, me either. at the very least your user should be a member of the sudo group....

But once you do this. It will save you $100 and you will not require to by an access point+ router. [08:35] alimj1: I think I could have skipped feeding interfaces file and added the ip etc to the GUI. that way I would have the option to setup wifi from GUI itself am I right? [08:36] or not may be [08:36] *what is the deal with gstreamer's fundamental freaking problem with m4a and flac files. [08:36] hacktard: Forget GUI. We can not debug it. [08:36] I can crash every gstreamer app I know of with any number of my albums. [08:36] alimj1: haha ok :) [08:37] hacktard: So please follow the last link I sent you. Do step 1, 2, 3 [08:38] alimj1: yes am on step 1 right now. will complete and test and ping back [08:39] alimj1: ok what is my driver name? [08:39] hacktard welcome hi hey dude [08:39] do you use tor to cover your tracks [08:40] buonasera [08:40] !list [08:40] mariomerola: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [08:40] buon giorno a tutti [08:40] hacktard: Use iwconfig to learn [08:41] hi Patero-ng. nope not yet. might use it in future. our govt has pretty bad internet rules too (btw hacktard is not supposed to mean I am affiliated to any "hacking" organization as put by mass media) [08:42] it is short for hacking retard. i.e. a noob-ish hacker. for definitions I follow http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/H/hacker.html [08:42] hacktard: Sorry. I though you want the adapter name. Let me tell you. [08:43] moin [08:43] alimj1: btw my usb wireless adapter came with it's drivers but ubuntu seemed to recognize the device as soon as I plugged it in so I am guesssing it is the default driver for 12.10 [08:46] Hi [08:46] lemonsparrow, do you have to put a password in to get on the internet when accessing it through the proxy? [08:46] I'm looking for files which contain info on the multimedia keys on gnome 2 [08:46] Mechdave: yeas [08:46] I'm looking for info about commands executed from the multimedia keys [08:46] Any ideas? [08:47] Mechdave: dude I just found this link http://serverfault.com/questions/119881/ssh-exchange-identification-connection-closed-by-remote-host you see the first anwer s I did a chmod 600 on my ssh folder and then when I tried doing a -vvv ssh to the server [08:47] Mechdave: I get this [08:47] alimj1: I dont think I would need to bridge the connections am I right? [08:47] hacktard: lshw -C network [08:47] lemonsparrow, You will need to set up ssh and corkscrew to tell the proxy your username and password for the proxy access [08:48] Mechdave: ssh -vvv user@host.com OpenSSH_5.3p1 Debian-3ubuntu7, OpenSSL 0.9.8k 25 Mar 2009 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: Applying options for * debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0 debug1: Connecting to ti002.tataquality.com [115.112.177.67] port 22. debug1: connect to address 115.112.177.67 port 22: Connection timed out ssh: connect to host host.com port 22: Connection timed out [08:48] hacktard: No [08:48] hacktard: Also chose your own SSID and Password [08:49] alimj1: ok so I will just set up my wifi network and see if it shows up on my windows laptop. if it does then it should be working already now [08:49] Mechdave: Host * ProxyCommand corkscrew user@proxy.com:3128 %h %p [08:49] Mechdave: ^^^ [08:49] hacktard: Forget step 3 [08:50] lemonsparrow, you are using the actual proxy address instead of user@proxy.com? [08:50] alimj1: ok [08:50] Mechdave: yes :) [08:50] hacktard: Just step 1 and 2. You should be able to see the access point from other computers. Connect to it from some other computer... [08:51] alimj1: channel=6 (does it differ from driver to driver? it says 0 for some drivers) [08:52] lemonsparrow, good :) [08:52] lemonsparrow, Ok so now you are getting a connection to the ssh server. Just that the connection is now timing out because you haven't put in a username and password in to access the ssh server [08:52] hacktard: There are 13 channels. [08:52] alimj1: so how do I know which one I have to use. or can I use anyone I like [08:52] hacktard: It is not really important. Unless there are many wireless accesspoints nearby [08:52] alimj1: well there are 2-3 [08:52] hacktard: Yes [08:53] Mechdave: so what am I missing [08:53] hacktard: Generally you should use one which is free. But let us forget about it for now. Lets focus on the 1st part. [08:54] Mechdave: so I need to add usernma to ssh/config ? [08:54] hacktard: If you use the same frequency. You will kill some bandwidth. But nothing else happens. [08:54] alimj1: Starting advanced IEEE 802.11 management hostapd [fail] [08:54] lemonsparrow, possibly nothing... I am trying to connect to the same server, but there is no response from the server. Are you sure the ssh port for the ssh server is 22? [08:54] alimj1: may be some configuration error (where are the logs?) [08:55] hacktard: Yes. erros in "/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf" [08:55] Mechdave: dude I changed the server details while pinging you the details ;) [08:55] lemonsparrow, There is a problem with the ssh server... The connection timed out for me too. [08:56] lemonsparrow, Usually if you don't add username to the ssh command then the server will ask you for a username/pasword combination [08:56] Mechdave: ok got it leme try [08:57] hacktard: Please pastbin /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf, /etc/hostapd/hostapd, /etc/network/interfaces [08:57] lemonsparrow, unless the ssh server has been configured not to ask for a username/password combination [08:57] hacktard: We have to check them. [08:58] Mechdave: tell me the command to add username into ssh host [08:58] hacktard: Please centsor passphrase [08:58] Hi. in gnome energy monitor what causes "local interrupts"? my cpu wakes up a lot (like 700 times because of local intererupts) [08:58] lemonsparrow, Can you pastebin any lines that take more than 1 line? It tends to upset people here when several lines are pasted :) [08:59] Does Ubuntu use PulseAudio as it's sound server? [08:59] Mechdave: I am now trying ssh user@host.com [08:59] lemonsparrow, all you do is user@ssh-server in the ssh command [08:59] lemonsparrow, that is it [08:59] alimj1: http://pastebin.com/CyPhtzDi for hostapd [08:59] Mechdave: anything to add into ssh/config ? [09:00] ssh: connect to host host.com port 22: Connection timed out [09:00] Mechdave: ^ [09:00] hi everyone [09:00] what am I missing to sudo-run a loop like this ?: sudo for i in {a..c}; do echo $i; done [09:00] lemonsparrow, are you sure that ssh is running on port 22 on the server? [09:01] alimj1: there is no file called /etc/hostapd/hostapd I think you are looking for /etc/default/hostapd ? [09:01] Mechdave: yes and I know by default its port 22 unless otherwise [09:02] hacktard: You did wrong config. [09:02] Does Ubuntu use PulseAudio as it's sound server? [09:02] lemonsparrow, A lot of the time a server will not run ssh on port 22 due to security. I always ran my ssh on a very high port, just a bit of obfuscation to throw the bots off the scent :) [09:02] hacktard. You should have two files. /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf, /etc/hostapd/hostapd, [09:02] alimj1: http://pastebin.com/k1zBh4vU is the interfaces file [09:03] lemonsparrow, Perhaps you should confirm the ssh server is running ssh on port 22 [09:03] hacktard. Let me paste bin for you. [09:03] alimj1: Edit /etc/default/hostapd, enter: [09:03] Mechdave: ok.. but nothing was told to me that THIS PORT so I believe its deafult port :) and it did work connecting my personal broadband static ip.. but through proxy I am facing this issue [09:03] # vi /etc/default/hostapd [09:04] hacktard: first file (/etc/default/hostapd) should have only one line: DAEMON_CONF="/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf" [09:04] Mechdave: do I need to do a sudo ssh ? [09:04] alimj1: that file was present from before and had a lot of lines in it should I pastebin it? [09:05] lemonsparrow, Ok, now next question is did you try tunneling to the ssh server without the proxy server being in the middle? [09:05] hacktard: The 2nd file (/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf) should have, what you pastebined for me [09:05] lemonsparrow, Never sudo ssh! [09:05] Mechdave: yes from home and it did connect :) [09:05] alimj1: ok np coz all other lines seemed to have been commented. so yes it is the same [09:06] do anybody know linux filesystem channel?? [09:06] in irc? [09:06] lemonsparrow, Ok, do you think the server has a list of ip adresses it will only accept and yours might happen to be on it? [09:06] mvt007geek: ##linux might help [09:06] alimj1: http://pastebin.com/VALYu2qq is the default/hostapd file [09:07] !fhs | mvt007geek [09:07] mvt007geek: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview see also: man hier [09:07] lemonsparrow, The reason I say this is because you are reaching the ssh server, it is just not letting you connect to it [09:07] Mechdave: yes set of static ips.. and my porxy n/w has been added to it but I am scared if the ip got blocked due to many failed attempts [09:07] hacktard : /etc/init.d/hostapd restart [09:08] lemonsparrow, I took the address from one of your previous posts and tried to ssh to the server, it did exactly the same to me as it is currently doing to you. So that is why I think it will only accept certain addresses [09:09] lemonsparrow, Maybe you need to speak to the techs about it at the server [09:09] Mechdave: dude I never gave you proper address for security reasons I edited it before posting [09:09] auronandace: thanks [09:09] alimj1: stopped ok start fail [09:09] Mechdave: my strong feeling is that the ip got blocked [09:09] alimj1: where can I find the logs for hostapd failing? [09:10] lemonsparrow, I think you might be right... Maybe talk to the techs at the server and see if you can confirm the case. [09:10] guys... anyone using steam here [09:10] ? [09:10] Mechdave: when the ip from which u r sshing is blocked is this the message you normally get ? ssh: connect to host 115.112.177.67 port 22: Connection timed out ? [09:10] Mechdave: yes [09:10] hacktard: I will tell you in a sec [09:11] alimj1: ok [09:11] lemonsparrow, yes [09:11] alimj1: brb need a restart [09:11] Mechdave: thanks a lot boss ;) for your time and help :) [09:12] Mechdave: I will get in touch with the tech team :) [09:12] guys... I messed up the big picture resolution in steam... i cant make it to start to change the resolution.. [09:12] OK [09:14] unixnotphoenix: there is a channel #ubuntu-steam . people might be able to help you there [09:14] dkessel: thanks :) [09:16] I get flooded with "[ 1560.775986] hub 1-1.4.1.4:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1" several times per second, when printer, scanner and their usb hub are plugged in but not powered on. this is annoying at the luks/cryptsetup password prompt. can I suppress that message somehow? [09:16] Hi guys, how can i make my grub not to use quiet+splash mode ? I need all kernel messages with 2 yellow pinguins appear on my screen during startup... :) [09:17] How can I use gnome-terminal --execute without a terminal window opening? [09:17] ironhalik, Why do you need it ? Can't use exec command from a plain shell ? [09:17] I want to place two commands, xset dpms force off and gnome-screensaver-command -a into a keyboard shortcut [09:18] ironhalik, KDE ? [09:19] gnome [09:19] Hm...No idea, i'm using awesome [09:20] ironhalik: I think what you want is nohup, see: man nohup [09:20] sec, Ill try it out [09:21] IdleOne, He wants just to bind a command sequence on the shortcut, there was a GUI app to configure the shortcuts in gnome, but i currently don't remember which one [09:22] XATRIX: neither do I [09:24] Hi guys, how can i make my grub not to use quiet+splash mode ? I need all kernel messages with 2 yellow pinguins appear on my screen during startup... :) [09:24] alimj1: hi I am back [09:24] hacktard: What news? [09:25] alimj1: still the same status :( hostapd start fail [09:25] hacktard: Do you see your wifi in wireless manager? [09:26] in GUI no but if I remove the config from network/interfaces and restart, I see it in GUI and can make a normal wireless connection [09:27] hacktard: Then I believe it might not work in Access Point mode. Some cheap USB Wifis may not work in Access Point mode [09:27] alimj1: :( any work around? [09:28] hacktard: What happens if you set in in Ad-hoc mode and connect some other computer to it? Can they connect to the internet through it? They should. We did the 1st part already. [09:28] alimj1: umm let me try again and restart === Jackson is now known as Guest45117 [09:29] hacktard: However, on those computers, you will not require manual IP [09:29] alimj1: I am not adding manual ip on those computers [09:29] alimj1: the only setting in which ubuntu lets me make an ad-hoc connection is when ipv4 is "shared with other computers" [09:31] hacktard: Ok then. Check and inform. Do those computers have internet connectivity now? [09:32] alimj1: which wont work with my connection as my local isp wont provide ip for multiple machines [09:32] sad part is I can do this on windows very easily [09:32] but I need to use the ubuntu machine for everything else [09:32] hacktard: Yes. However, not everything. [09:34] hacktard, have a look here --> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/creating-an-adhoc-host-with-ubuntu.html [09:35] Mechdave: let me try that :D [09:45] Mechdave , alimj1 I can connect to the computer that way but can not share internet conenction [09:46] My laptop screen started turning off and on again about a month ago. It's pretty random but tends to happen when I open new programs. The screen usually locks too, until I disabled it. Now I don't have to type my password in every time, but I have no protection if I leave it unattended, and the 1/2 second black screen is still annoying. I've tried googling but don't really know what I should search for [09:47] hacktard, are you sharing through a windows machine or a ubuntu machine? [09:48] hacktard: I am looking to the files [09:48] Mechdave: I have the wired internet connection to my ubuntu desktop. I am trying to share it over wifi to my windows laptop [09:48] Mechdave: alimj1 helped me set up a dhcp server and also hostapd but hostapd is failing when I restart it [09:49] hacktard: Pastebin: /etc/sysctl.conf [09:49] hacktard, Ok, you need to use iptables to forward the connection to the windows laptop. You don't need a dhcp server on your ubuntu box as you can initially use a static ip on the laptop [09:49] Mechdave: guides? [09:50] hacktard: and this: /etc/rc.local [09:50] hacktard, hang on a bit and I will try to remember... Has been a while since I have needed to do this :) [09:50] Mechdave: I gave hacktard this link: http://codeghar.wordpress.com/2012/05/02/ubuntu-12-04-ipv4-nat-gateway-and-dhcp-server/ [09:51] Mechdave: thank you! alimj1 http://pastebin.com/Jsh1qBq6 for sysctl.conf and http://pastebin.com/e4AGz56k for rc.local [09:52] hacktard, Have a read of this --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [09:52] Mechdave and alimj1 I think you should know, my local isp needs me to open the browser and log into their portal before I can use internet on their connection [09:53] hacktard, That should be fine with the nat setup :) Just make the ISP page your home page [09:53] Mechdave: I tried that first. it didnt work because I think it shares the connection directly and my ISP wont let me access internet directly that way. [09:53] * RogueNeuron hi [09:54] Mechdave: oh I think I need to do the gateway method, I had tried the GUI ones [09:54] how to safely remove USB hard disk? [09:54] Hi All. I have not been able to successfully install Ubuntu or any Ubuntu based distro since before 12.04. I've tried installing with nomodeset. I can get it installed but the mouse and keyboard freeze-up on first run. [09:54] hej [09:55] hacktard, No, the iptables method translates the incoming packets to an internal ip address... As far as the ISP is concerned the ubuntu box is surfing the web :) [09:55] hacktard: Now pastebin /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf [09:56] hacktard, Use the iptables method, but do it all inside a terminal to set up the rules [09:56] Mechdave: ok am trying that now [09:56] sec [09:57] alimj1: http://pastebin.com/1fnGNU5H [09:57] alimj1, I think get hacktard to forget about dhcp for now, just get him to get it all going with a static ip first, then he can add a dhcp server later [09:58] alimj1: http://pastebin.com/0XMUNpcA PS: I have removed the wlan config from interfaces now to get it going from GUI [09:58] Mechdave: yes I think that is what I am going to try for now. [09:58] alimj1, I always had major issues with dhcp and iptables if I set up dhcp first [09:59] Mechdave: Possibly. [09:59] hacktard, just follow the instructions carefully, turn off your dhcp server by typing in a terminal sudo service dhcpd stop [10:00] hacktard: could you change your nick? it contains an ableist slur [10:00] hacktard, get the nat working first then you can add dhcp afterwards [10:00] sudo service dhcpd stop [10:00] dhcpd: unrecognized service [10:00] Mechdave: ^ [10:01] hacktard, would be good if you could change your nick too please :) === hacktard is now known as piyushmishra [10:01] piyushmishra, thanks mate :) [10:01] Hacktard: You did not follow the steps: It was mentioned: sudo aptitude install isc-dhcp-server [10:01] piyushmishra: thank you for being considerate [10:01] alimj1: I did do that [10:02] Mechdave: Would you please look into this. I am going to launch. I will be back. [10:02] alimj1, No worries :) [10:02] queerios, Mechdave is the word "hack" causing the cringe? :P [10:03] piyushmishra, yes... and the word tard too [10:04] Mechdave: ok. :) wont use the nick here then. btw it is supposed to mean I am very slow in learning hacking (in the catb sense of the term) [10:04] piyushmishra, It is just not really respectful and chances you would not be treated seriously here with that name. Besides some would withhold help because of percieved motives [10:05] piyushmishra, No worries. I knew what you were on about when you explained it earlier :) [10:05] Mechdave: I can see how it can create confusion [10:05] ok trying the gateway method now [10:06] piyushmishra, Ok back to job in hand... Try the iptables method. Make sure you can ping the ubuntu box with the windows laptop first so you know you have a good wireless connection [10:07] msg [10:08] how can I prevent the luks password prompt from being flooded with kernel messages? [10:10] Mechdave: iptables-restore v1.4.12: iptables-restore: unable to initialize table 'nat' [10:12] You followed the instructions here --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing#Ubuntu_Internet_Gateway_Method_.28iptables.29 [10:12] !botsnack [10:12] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [10:13] piyushmishra, You followed the instructions here --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing#Ubuntu_Internet_Gateway_Method_.28iptables.29 [10:14] yes, instead of adding the line to rc.local I mistakenly run it on the terminal [10:14] and got that error [10:14] so may be I will get that error again when I restart. do you know why it can happen [10:15] piyushmishra, you ran sudo iptables-save | sudo tee /etc/iptables.sav in a terminal? [10:15] Mechdave: yes I did I have that file now [10:15] Mechdave: should I pastebin it? [10:16] piyushmishra, no need to just yet... [10:17] Mechdave: Error occurred at line: 2 [10:17] piyushmishra, so when you run this in a terminal--> iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.sav what does it say? [10:17] Mechdave: $ iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.sav [10:17] iptables-restore v1.4.12: iptables-restore: unable to initialize table 'nat' [10:17] Error occurred at line: 2 [10:17] Try `iptables-restore -h' or 'iptables-restore --help' for more information. [10:18] piyushmishra, can you pastebin the file please? [10:18] http://pastebin.com/zCxVGBf8 [10:19] What software monitors special buttons on the laptop ? Mute/Volup/Voldown [10:20] XATRIX: That strongly depends on your hardware. [10:20] bekks: I'm using an old HP compaq nc4010 [10:20] Hello, I had a crash and since then audio doesn't work anymore, muting and unmuting gives me an instant of static, but nothing more. [10:20] Mechdave: http://pastebin.com/zCxVGBf8 [10:21] And i really didn't setup something extra in... [10:21] piyushmishra, run the following command in a terminal and then pastebin the resulting file... sudo iptables -L > $HOME/iptables.out.txt [10:21] if I plug the speakers in my phone they work fine. [10:21] But my Sound keys were in action, till i move to awesome DM :) [10:21] does anyone know what the problem could be? [10:22] Mechdave: http://pastebin.com/gRJ41uU1 [10:22] VividReality: You could possible play with alsamixer [10:22] Maybe you have some channels muted out... [10:23] system sounds and Clementine are both on 100% [10:24] Mechdave: btw ping doesnt work properly I think I need to restart or something before ping works [10:24] trying once and getting back in a minute [10:24] XATRIX, also, the volume bar of Clementine moves based on the audio. [10:25] so there should be output [10:25] piyushmishra, make sure you can connect to your ubuntu box with windows. Set up a static ip address for the windows box. [10:25] VividReality: So, you only have a working system sounds, but no other media ? [10:26] no system sounds either. [10:28] VividReality: Do you see the MM chars down to the channel bars ? [10:28] If you do so, there's a muted channels in [10:28] You have to unmute em with 'm' on your keyboard [10:28] But I have no muted channels. [10:29] also, I use pulse audio. [10:29] Mechdave: back [10:29] I was listening to music [10:29] My computer crashed [10:29] I couldn't even go into a different tty [10:29] so I reset [10:29] and then audio was gone [10:30] just static. [10:30] piyushmishra, How did it go? [10:30] I show as connected [10:30] but cant ping my ubuntu from win [10:30] :-/ [10:30] piyushmishra, Ok now ping the ubuntu machine from the laptop [10:31] While (re)installing nvidia current i get "Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.2.0-35-generic (x86_64)" http://pastebin.com/7zqG871X full log http://paste.ubuntu.com/1452737/ the log file mentioned. [10:31] Hi! Just wondering: can I get rid of gdm and lightwm and all that cruft and just have a terminal login, starting X with startx? Or is there some ubuntu deep magic that makes my system cry if I do it? [10:31] piyushmishra, Have you set a static ip address on your windows laptop? [10:31] Mechdave: no ping from both sides [10:31] Mechdave: yes I have [10:31] stobix: X isnt started using startx for a long time now, afaik. [10:32] stobix xinit: /usr/bin/startx [10:32] ipconfig on windows shows 192.168.0.25 (one I set) and ifconfig on ubuntu shows 192.168.0.1 on ubuntu(one I set) === TNZ_ is now known as TNZfr [10:32] Mechdave: ^ and default gateway is same too [10:32] that's 12.04 [10:32] piyushmishra are you using dhcp on both? [10:33] and are both on the same machine? [10:33] otherwise it's not surprising that they differ :) [10:33] TomyLobo: no win is laptop and ubuntu is desktop and am doing static on both [10:33] piyushmishra, Have you followed the page I sent you about ad-hoc networks? [10:33] oh i missed your original question, you cant ping [10:33] they're connected by an ad hoc network (wlan0) from my ubuntu desk [10:33] subnet masks? [10:34] (unlikely cause but give it nonetheless) [10:34] TomyLobo: same. Mechdave: yes Id di that [10:34] did* [10:34] "same" is not a good answer here [10:34] they could be on an equally bad setting [10:34] Mechdave: I show connected on both ends. TomyLobo: 255.255.255.0 [10:34] (though windows' default should work) [10:34] yeah that's good [10:35] gateway: 1.1.1.1 on both [10:35] why? does that IP exist? [10:35] TomyLobo: no it was on some guide somewhere [10:35] if you only have 2 machines on a network, dont enter a gateway [10:36] on the same physical network, that is [10:36] TomyLobo: ok removing gateway [10:36] also try and see what "arp" shows you [10:36] (on linux) [10:36] windows doesnt have fancy things like that :) [10:37] http://www.carolinaherrera.com/212/es/areyouonthelist?share=NVq56AQ2vxgECOtvW_3-cC_MeqWSEVkU2vlXs7SL5zHkz4rz3EUUdzs6j6FXsjB4447F-isvxjqkXd4Qey2GHw#teaser [10:37] TomyLobo: well removing gateway wont let me save the config on ubuntu. so I need one. what should I put in there?

[10:38] piyushmishra, You can put in the ip of the ubuntu machine as it will eventually be a gateway [10:38] koik, please dont spam [10:38] piyushmishra arp lists *other* machines [10:38] not your interfaces [10:38] well it shows the interfaces those machines are reachable through, too [10:39] TomyLobo: so it shows my ISP machine. to which I am connected via ether [10:39] Mechdave: done on both [10:41] hi [10:41] koik, i trust you are going to partake in this channel in the expected manner soon, to prove you are not a spammer... [10:42] Mechdave, TomyLobo so now I have 2 problems :P [10:42] 1. I cant seem to ping wither machine from the other [10:42] 2. I get nat* error from iptables [10:42] I have done this trouble shoot: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iTlJ8BfqXUjaHO__TEdlkvuqB1WLOkGaudngc5SFLMI/edit [10:42] but still no luck [10:42] restarting again to try and see if the changing configs made some problem brb [10:49] I have a strange issue with my graphics card drivers. Whether i have installed amd drivers or the open source one it has the exact performance. [10:50] ChrKar: And whats strange about it? [10:50] my microphone reproduces the sound from the headphones instead of the voip line. (ubuntu 12.04 desktop 64, 11.10 did not have these problems with no extra setting) [10:50] exact same performance? [10:50] yeah, be happy [10:50] unless of course, that performance is that of the slower driver [10:51] I am not happy because the game i am trying to play is supposed to be able to be maxed out with my graphics card. [10:51] TomyLobo: The slower one, out of two with the same performance? ;) [10:51] bekks stuck driver syndrome :) [10:51] ChrKar: And which game is it? [10:51] Trine 2 [10:51] oil rush [10:51] every game. Even benchmarks [10:52] trine 2? does that have a multi-player mode now? [10:52] ChrKar: And how do you measure or benchmark it? [10:52] Well the games have an option to show fps. And i have unigine benchmarks too. [10:52] ChrKar: And how many fps do you get? [10:53] Well in trine at 800x600 and lowest possible 20fps most of the times [10:53] with oil rush around 15-30 at 800x600 lowest [10:53] ChrKar: And which Ubuntu and which driver versions do you use exactly on which hardware very exactly? [10:55] how can I prevent the luks password prompt from being flooded with kernel messages? [10:55] I have ubuntu 12.10 drivers My graphics card is AMD 6450, tried driver 12.11 (beta) -the stock one from ubuntu- [10:55] also at software sources i installed one of them but i dont know version because i have strange output with glxinfo [10:56] ChrKar: Then take a look at the package manager instead of glxinfo [10:56] Mechdave: still cant ping [10:56] Hello , everyone! [10:57] Mechdave: is it because I had followed some instructions from before? the dhcp one?

[11:09] bekks: I am not sure how do I check that? [11:09] bekks: http://pastebin.com/gRJ41uU1 [11:09] ok so to sum up [11:09] piyushmishra: Since you have to check it, you havent configured it :) [11:09] I have my internet coming from eth0 I need to share it over wlan0 [11:09] defekt: That iptables rules are pretty pointless.

[11:11] piyushmishra: For internet connection sharing to be work, you dont need iptables. [11:12] bekks: I tried the one on top (gui) [11:12] piyushmishra: And did you do that net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 too? [11:12] but it shared the connection directly [11:12] piyushmishra: Which is what you want, as you said. [11:12] bekks: as it is shared directly, the ISP wont let me use it I need to share it through my ubuntu [11:12] the ISP needs to think ubuntu is surfing [11:12] bekks: oh my that's an iptables config dot dot [11:13] piyushmishra: Otherwise, you need a wireless adapter that is capable of running as AP, and you have to configure your box as a router. [11:13] so I need to share it via iptables I think [11:13] piyushmishra: Forget iptables. Iptables does not share anything, it is a firewall. [11:14] I dont know if my wireless router is capable of doing that it is asus N-10 [11:14] piyushmishra: Then you have to find it out, since I dont know that device, too. [11:15] http://www.asus.com/Networks/Wireless_Adapters/USBN10/#specifications is the one [11:17] btw I can use the usb to share internet from windows [11:17] so it is possible to do that with that device [11:17] just need to find a way to do it on ubuntu as I need to use my ubuntu [11:17] brb [11:18] * htp waves === Albastos|off is now known as Albastos [11:24] hi [11:25] i have a log file in /var/log/firewall that it's owner is ulogd [11:25] how change /var/log/firewall structure. for example user **** rhater than sec ip in file?

[11:44] Varotone: as on 12.04 LTS expanded to 5 years for desktop. for 10.04 it's only 3 years for desktop [11:45] Fine, so does that mean they will take down repositories this next year? [11:45] Varotone: take down? No but they won't be supported any longer ... [11:46] Hello! I'm kind of a new Ubuntu user and want to install a *.tar.gz file.

[13:51] tomreyn: right. I didnt install pglcmd, must have come with the packages that I installed (moblock, blocontrol..) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MoBlock [13:51] followed the above tutorial [13:52] tomreyn: I installed the following packages: line: sudo apt-get install moblock blockcontrol mobloquer [13:52] must have come with one of them [13:52] to remove it, do I do apt-get remove on pglcmd?

[14:11] found a way to run Ubuntu with full 3D support on Virtualbox [14:12] luyang: you could use ubuntu and just keep a vm with windows with photoshop in it [14:12] gabrign, "wifi analyzer" app show you the db for your AP and the channel...

(sounds like a stupid question, but iam unsure because the config etc. is already generated in grub2 style) [14:34] legacy grub = 0.xx versions [14:34] Bit puzzled. So I installed 12.12 on a fresh drive last night. Did the download updates during install bit. Though when I logged in and issues an apt-get update/upgrade it had over 300MB of new updates. I don't recall having that happen with other desktop versions. Anyone have an idea? [14:34] grub2 = ver 1.xx-2.00 [14:35] Simply my curiousity. :) [14:35] Ddin: ah, nice to know. thanks [14:35] you welcome ineb [14:35] :) [14:35] is ubuntu has spyware ?

Where can i see my port number for remote desktop [14:40] kubanc: If you're familiar with your system and 'netstat' would be quite easy to track down. Otherwise there should be an option in the software to provide specifically a port number. Google should result in the default though> :) [14:41] kubanc: if you are referring to "remote desktop protocol (RDP)", that's a windows specific protocol [14:41] tomreyn: he's most likely referring to the client and current connection. [14:41] tomreyn, i need my default port for desktop sharing in ubuntu 12.04 [14:41] If not I withdrawl. [14:41] :D [14:42] tomreyn: I withdrawl, heh.

[14:52] smacktalk dont expect help with illegal downloads here [14:52] yes yes of course you're only doing legal file sharing. right. [14:52] Hi, i've just installed 12.10 on a VM and i'm getting constant 20% CPU usage... 12.04 was much lower. if this expected with this version or are there background processes which could be running since it's a new install? [14:52] btw if anyone saw my earlier message on curisity, twas towards ver. 12.10.

What kind of activity is the server/system doing atm compared to when running your other VM? [14:54] Vjarjadian: Any differences in setup? Or is this a default install on both.. [14:54] it's just been installed, 1 vCPU and 512MB RAM same as 12.04 CPU is an i7 2700k [14:54] as for new processes I apparently can't recall the correct version, so someone else will have to step in to answer that specific question [14:54] ;) [14:54] it's just been installed and had the GUI slapped on. [14:54] Vjarjadian: any changes in system load running the VM from one install to the other? [14:54] and updated [14:55] on the host OS [14:55] i'm measuring the CPU load from inside the VM [14:55] indeed. [14:55] host is not doing anything stressing [14:55] Which what I was asking about. ;P [14:56] A stressed cpu regardless of dedication in the VM will affect vm performance. [14:56] only got 2 VMs running of ubuntu, shut down the dozen windows VMs since i don't need them untill samba4 is running [14:56] I'm not sure I've experienced this occurence running the two server versions in a VM [14:56] I'd have to do some testing on the desktop version a bit more [14:56] any apache gurus here? [14:56] running 'top' do you notice a higher amount of total tasks? [14:57] I don't recall briefing through any major differences int he changelog that would drastically change the cpu load [14:57] Vjarjadian: ^ [14:57] even in a VM [14:57] perhaps someone else can chime in though? [14:57] hopefully. :) [14:57] Vjarjadian: sorry bud [14:57] tf2ftw: #apache I'm sure .. tis dis way > [14:58] something called compiz using CPU [14:58] ouch [14:58] yeah that would surely be a good culprit [14:58] are you not running that on the older version? [14:58] 3d accell enhancement [14:58] but its not new to 12.10 [14:58] TMinus36: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:59] FloodBot1: im not pasting bot, im caffeinated, now be quiet :P [14:59] but on that note I have hungry mouths to feed.. [14:59] Vjarjadian: I'll look into it a bit and hit you up in PM if you're around ina few. Don't want to upset the bot anymore. :P [15:00] I'll run a few tests on my end as well. [15:00] can I force hard drive to spin down on a desktop? [15:01] ironhalik, don't use it for a while [15:01] Vjarjadian: btw which virtualization software did you mention you were using? I might have missed it. [15:01] like, 20 minutes? :> [15:01] virtualbox [15:01] roger [15:01] i use ESXi in production and virtualbox for testing, since it's a lot easier to run a ton of things on [15:02] /join # [15:03] /join #<#ubuntu> [15:03] hmm... i almost can't believe this... but i've shut the system monitor and left the terminal open and the cpu has dropped to sub 10%... the system monitor on older versions of ubuntu never caused that amount of load [15:03] hjola [15:05] secretyoo english or try /join #ubuntu.it [15:07] tootie [15:07] oiù [15:08] !it | secretyoo [15:08] secretyoo: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

Kinda a pain to set that up though [15:36] mrpink57: i want to use debian....i have heard its very stable....as ubuntu is not as stable as should be [15:36] dakotawulfy, it works with the old kernel. -35 broke it [15:36] so u are not able to connect ??? [15:36] that's the whole problem [15:36] dakotawulfy: I am able to see the wireless network connection and sometimes this does connect, but right now I am on my mac and this works but not on ubuntu. [15:36] Pancake_Warrior: in a virtual environment would be best. [15:36] Pancake_Warrior: sudo apt-get install guitarix [15:36] dakotawulfy: right, I am not able to connect right now. [15:36] libpenguin: ubuntu is basically debian wheezy at this point. [15:36] lol [15:37] ahh, The readme file was saying to use the ./waf configure command and it wasnt working... [15:37] libpenguin: which is what i currently use on my desktop and netbook [15:37] so does not log on === denysonique_ is now known as denysonique [15:37] bobweaver: what i do is whatever packages i need....i downloas then to local storage and then install them by dpkg but thing is everytime i have to give the destination address so i just wanted to add the local address as source [15:37] libpenguin, use what you want to that is the point of linux. But you might like to tlk about all that on debians server for irc [15:37] so see them [15:37] libpenguin, just make a local apt repo [15:37] I do not think stability is a big issue in ubuntu, I have never heard of anyone really getting a cocked up system unless the user has done it. [15:38] !localapt [15:38] bobweaver: how to to do so ? [15:38] ShawnRisk but does not log on [15:38] ok did u do update [15:38] Pancake_Warrior: does it install waf? [15:38] unlike the big Arch disaster a few months back [15:38] dakotawulfy: it does log onto the network sometimes but a the moment it is not. How can I do an update if I can't connect? [15:38] libpenguin, it is kinda a pain but you can use dpkg-scanpacakgaes to look in certian dirs . there is a wiki liet me find it [15:38] libpenguin: /join #debian [15:39] mrpink57: boy that was a disaster [15:39] ShawnRisk did it work before or always been that way [15:39] dakotawulfy: it works on and off, but right now it is not working.

[15:40] hi, i have a problem with connection to my user share on my NAS, can anyone assist with this ? [15:40] dakotawulfy: I haven't done a kernel update since this latest problem happened. [15:40] mrpink57: i knew atleast 10 (coworkers, who did the same.. on work computers).. kinda lol && sad at the same time - right ubuntu never had that issue [15:40] It looks like it's installed. but it's saying there was an error.

It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [15:41] SolarisB1y: Arch on work computers?! Awesome. [15:41] dakotawulfy: try which? [15:41] mrpink57: lols yea - i felt the same [15:41] libpenguin: truth? yes. [15:42] dakotawulfy: I am using 3.2.0-35-generic when I did uname -r to check kernel version [15:42] Pancake_Warrior: may need to apt-get install those packages as well [15:42] libpenguin: this is not a server to discuss this and I am now under watchful eyes.

[15:43] rocky, I dont think that you can do that with out doing something crazy to lightdm [15:43] bobweaver, i know i have done that in past it should be just an option to turn it on [15:44] bobweaver, it should be an easy one [15:44] rocky→ this doesnt feel right - are you trying to steel passwords???

[16:45] how can I prevent the luks password prompt from being flooded with kernel messages? [16:46] elena-IK, i'm not sure if it helps, but you can disable the kernel messages/reduce the loglevel, which might help. [16:46] how can i search for files on my computer in a fast way where the drive gets cached, so it doesn't take 3 minutes to finish the search? [16:47] !locate | Lope [16:47] Lope: locate is a command-line file search utility. To make sure its cache is up to date run: sudo updatedb [16:47] but I've just tried locate / myfile [16:47] but it still takes ages [16:47] (twice) [16:47] wdp_: I know how to do that, when the system is running (dmesg -n 1), but i have no idea how to do that before the root filesystem is mounted. [16:47] Lope: Then update your cache. [16:47] elena-IK, it's loglevel=X where X is a number from 0 to 7 with 7 beeing debug and 0 is like nothing (KERN EMERG) [16:48] elena-IK, at the bootloader obviously. [16:48] bekks: please tell me how? I've googled this a lot and couldn't find anything [16:48] Lope, do you know how to use find ? [16:48] wdp_: I'll try, thanks [16:48] find / myfile? [16:48] I'm not familiar with how exactly to do wildcards etc. [16:48] Lope, that would search everything from / down [16:48] exactly [16:48] Lope, that might take a while [16:49] I've noticed [16:49] I'm asking if theres a search tool that indexes the directory structure and file lists inside a DB. [16:49] elena-IK, let me know if it worked :) [16:49] if I knew where the file was I wouldn [16:50] 't be searching from root down... [16:50] Lope, you can set dir that you want to look for and type of thing that it is say a file named foo.bar that I know nis in my home dir find /home/bobweaver/ -type f -name 'foo.bar' that might be quicker [16:50] i have installed secure-delete but am not able to launch?

[16:59] saik: Apache is just a port of "LAMP". [16:59] saik: ?? lamp == linux apache mysql php (script language of choice) in general - you need to have apache or whatever webserver you use either listening on an ip/port publicly available, OR enable rules on your router/firewall to foward traffic from the public ip:port (you define) to the internal webserver ip:port () [16:59] add [17:00] saik: lamp guides will assist you with setting up your server etc. [17:00] i want to use cinnamo desktop edition [17:00] on server ?

[17:11] bobWeaver openjava6 is installed as a dependancy to eclipse [17:11] and what i really want is 7 [17:12] so apt is getting in my way [17:12] Axio: ls -ltrhd /var/log [17:13] you can just do ls -ld /var/log [17:13] rdw200169: SolarisBoy: Here is what I get: drwxrwxrwt 8 root root 420 déc. 22 17:46 /var/log [17:14] Did I mess something? [17:14] Axio: seems that the go+w in your case... [17:14] SolarisBoy: mh I don't understand [17:14] banda, I amnot much of a java dude more qt/aml/c++/python sorry. But what are you trying to do? [17:15] Axio: the group and other bits are assigned writable permissions in your case [17:15] SolarisBoy: Can it cause problems (such as logs not rotating)? Any magical command to revert back to normal? [17:16] Axio: possibly not really sure - depends on whats logging, are you having a specific issue other than the perms being different? [17:17] SolarisBoy: Not really, my issue is that logs aren't rotating. I know that I messed with my installation, but I don't remember how [17:18] Axio: are you using the standard logrotate package? [17:18] "logrotate", syslogd are on the computer [17:18] Axio: logrotate should have some options for running in debug/verbose mode [17:19] SolarisBoy: How do I check that? What should I do? [17:19] Why doesn't mkfs.vfat /dev/sde1 delete all data from the device? [17:20] invariant: Did you unmount /dev/sde1 before? [17:20] invariant: you did make it into a vfat partion befor? [17:20] bekks, yes [17:20] dr_willis, yes [17:21] kernel could be using the old data/info. [17:21] dr_willis: The psrtition type is irrelevant, actually. [17:21] ive had systems get confused ages back when mixxing up filesstem types :) [17:21] I was expecting mkfs.vfat to create an empty file system. [17:21] dr_willis: filesystem types and partition types are independent from each other. [17:22] Axio: first you can try to "ls -1 /etc/logrotate.d" then you can pick a log that you can confirm is having the "not rotating" issue, like dpkg for instance (if thats the case for you), then you run the command like "sudo logrotate -v -d /etc/logrotate.d/dpkg" and inspect the output for errors - i guess in your case you would be looking for permission related errors [17:22] bekks, aren't there just primary and logical partitions? [17:22] bekks: makes me wonder why you even set the type then in fdisk ;) === vjn_ is now known as vjn [17:23] invariant: There are partition types and partition labels. [17:23] I am having trouble with google chrome and casper-rw [17:23] dr_willis, the type just maps to a magic number. [17:23] SolarisBoy: the logs I want aren't on the list, maybe that's the problem! [17:23] dr_willis: Thats an ancient relict. [17:23] dr_willis, otherwise it would be impossible to create new file systems. [17:23] SolarisBoy: Are kernel.log, dmesg supposed to be on that list? [17:23] Tell me when you are ready [17:23] invariant: Which is not true.:) [17:24] bekks, what is not true? [17:24] invariant: You can create whatever filesystem o whatever partition type. [17:24] *on [17:24] bekks, yes, I was logically deducing that that what dr_willis said was wrong. [17:24] invariant: Which has nothing to do with magic numbers ;) [17:24] bekks, it's a valid method of proof accepted by mathematicians around the globe. [17:25] invariant: It is accepted when there are no logical errors in the deduction ;) [17:25] bekks, where is the partition type storted then? [17:25] bekks, stored [17:25] bekks, anyway, can you first answer why it doesn't delete all the data? [17:26] invariant: Itdoesnt matter for the problem at all where that information is stored. The filesystem created on a partition is independent from the partition type you definedin fdisk [17:26] bekks, fdisk must obtain the information from somewhere. [17:26] bekks, is it part of the file system what it returns? [17:27] invariant: Which is irrelevant, since fdisk isnt used for evaluation the content of a filesystem. [17:27] I am setting up a ProxyPass ( http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/howto-apache ) but i have some questions about security, if i use ProxyPass https://localhost:8080/sabnzbd and then visit fqdn.de/sabnzbd, will the login data be encrypted and send to the server or its not encrypted? [17:27] bekks, you are very annoying to talk to. [17:27] Axio: actually for dmesg log it seems you can check the upstart configuration for dmesg /etc/init/dmesg.conf [17:27] bekks, it would be helpful if your sentences would contain any information. [17:28] invariant: I'm sorry when information you asked for isnt the information you wanted to get. [17:28] invariant, bekks is saying that the information obtained from fdisk is not guaranteed to be correct [17:28] Axio: it uses a utility called savelog on startup to copy/compress the log file you - should check that "savelog" is somewhere in that file (atleast on my system it does, which has those bits set to default) [17:28] bekks, I asked why that command didn't delete the data. [17:28] invariant, you should use something like parted which is smart enough to check the actual partition contents [17:28] bekks, you have completely ignored that question. [17:28] bekks, also, I don't like smartasses who aren't. [17:29] escott, unfortunately, that was also not what I asked. [17:29] Axio: and kernel.log i dont believe exists on a default install but kern.log does - and it's handled by the rsyslog rule - if for some reason your system generates kernel.log - you should adjust that rule accordingly [17:29] invariant: Well. Then feel free to ask someone else for help, I'm not wasting my time with people calling names on me. Ignore set. [17:29] invariant, i just signed on, and see you being rude to bekks so i'm trying to defuse the situation [17:29] escott, defuse? [17:29] SolarisBoy: little mistake I am talking about kern.log [17:30] escott, bekks just has social issues. [17:30] He should see a doctor. [17:30] Axio: so for dmesg log check /etc/init/dmesg.conf for the string "savelog" - and for kern.log check the rule file /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog [17:30] SolarisBoy: thanks [17:30] Axio: yw [17:30] escott, and bekks was the one who was rude first. [17:30] escott, please try to keep up with the conversation. [17:30] escott, or... don't interfere. [17:31] Next time, I would like to hear "We are all ignorant and we don't know the answer." That would have been more helpful. [17:32] http://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/1592gx/i_am_having_problems_with_casperrw_and_google/. [17:33] this link should provide you discription of the problem I am currently experiencing [17:33] It looks like that the accepted answer on Stackoverflow for this problem is also completely wrong. [17:33] Kind of sad that they don't even know when the answer is right. [17:34] So would I even get a turn to get my questions answered? [17:35] bigbangbilly: not sure but casper-rw is searched during bootup [17:35] hi [17:35] bigbangbilly, were not paid to be here... [17:35] so what about google chrome [17:35] bigbangbilly: it's utilized witht he persistence boot option and allows you to write to a file from live media - bigbangbilly is it there on that partition? [17:35] if someone knows the answer, when they see it they may be able to answer [17:36] bigbangbilly: not sure if they are related - but in regards to casper-rw ^ [17:36] bigbangbilly, your question statement doesn't make much sense. what are you trying to do [17:36] +1 [17:36] Right now the reddit post and stack overflow post is burried [17:36] I am trying to access google crome and I got a long error message when i tried opening it with terminal [17:36] I typed google-chrome to try to open it [17:36] heh [17:36] join [17:37] a/whois invariant [17:37] bigbangbilly, but what does that have to do with casper-rw [17:37] bigbangbilly: 1) your bound to see a lot of errors starting gui apps from the terminal they are all not fatal - does chrome work? [17:37] can anyone tell me can i install nimbuzz on ubuntu?? [17:37] So may I send you the error message? [17:37] !info nimbuzz [17:37] Package nimbuzz does not exist in quantal [17:37] I got from chrome? [17:38] john: what is nimbuzz? [17:38] bigbangbilly: pastebin it would be the normal practice.

[17:38] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1457494/ [17:39] this is the error message I got from chrome [17:39] john: so its a chrome plugin? or what exactly? [17:39] chrome itself [17:39] john: This may help http://askubuntu.com/questions/149082/how-to-install-and-use-nimbuzz [17:39] from the terminal [17:39] djones:thanks [17:40] well actually it says the file exists while it's trying to create a SingletonLock [17:40] dr_willis: so are you working on it? [17:40] 'This means that running multiple instances would start multiple browser processes'... -> so just for starters your not running multiple browser instances with conflicting settings bigbangbilly are you? [17:41] I don't know [17:41] bigbangbilly: you can man chrome - you can start with a temporary profile to resolve that most likely if it were a big issue [17:41] i dont see why it is though [17:41] but I pushed the power button when there was too many tabs [17:41] its live media... [17:41] how do I open it using a temeporary profile? [17:41] yes [17:42] man chrome command that you used or type --help on that command [17:43] can someone help with my ibook my Xubuntu usb is not booting when i boot from it it has flashing screen then goes back to boot selection on boot (ALT key) and when i boot 10.5 (os x) it says: this disk was not repairable by this computer? [17:43] --temp-profile maybe - you should confirm thats what it is for chromium-browser [17:43] my version of ubuntu is corrupt, can i install ubuntu from a CD/DVD and not loose my data/configurations? [17:43] same problem [17:44] braddcadd: Define "corrupt" please. [17:44] with chrome [17:44] braddcadd: safest solution would to be to use a live cd, backup your imporntant data. [17:44] did someone see what i said? [17:44] braddcadd: then try to repair [17:44] i even tried incognito [17:44] i am using usb [17:44] bigbangbilly: do this please - "ls -ltrh /home/this/.config/google-chrome/SingletonLock" replacing "this" with the username your using [17:44] bigbangbilly: if the file exists mv it to /tmp and try again [17:45] broken packages so bad that apt-get freezes, restoring my sources.list file doesn't help either [17:45] can you help with my Xubuntu usb it wont boot and when i boot os x it says this disk was not repairable by this computer [17:46] braddcadd, I think some config files will be over-written. Best to use a backup/restore program. By the way, files dont just become corrupt. you sure your hdd isnt having a problem? or other hardware problems? [17:46] most of the folders have a lock icon on it what does it mean? [17:46] bigbangbilly: that its owned by root [17:46] huntersimoneau sounds like a hardware error to me [17:46] Solaris boy can you help me with my Xubuntu usb? [17:46] oh [17:47] it may be a hardware problem, i had it before and had to backup data and wipe the system, it seems to happen when i update to new kernels (i think) [17:47] I am still a noob in linux so how do I navigate the arrangement of folders? [17:47] it doesn;t just freeze on apt-get, it freezes randomly all the time, the hardrive (or something) "bumps" every fews seconds for about 10 mintes [17:47] works for 3 minutes, then freezes again the same way [17:47] bigbangbilly: cd $HOME or cd ~ to get to *your* home directory [17:48] bigbangbilly: overall root probably shouldn't own any of your configuration files as you won't be able to read them and it will cause issues with your apps down the line [17:48] well it has a little picter of a charactor shows up on the usb disk on boot selection so i dont think the usb has to be repaired? [17:48] unless ofcourse your running *as root* which is super wrong - but then you shouldn't see locks on any folders === SierraAR is now known as Sierr[a]AR [17:49] ok all i want to say is is there a link for making a usb Xubuntu usb for ppc not like unetbootin thats for intel to solaris boy [17:49] bigbangbilly: when you get to your home you need to then check ls -ltrh .config/google-chrome/SingletonLock [17:50] What is the difference between home and home folder [17:50] bigbangbilly: not really sure what you mean [17:50] !ppc | huntersimoneau maybe this is useful to you [17:50] huntersimoneau maybe this is useful to you: PowerPC.

It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [17:50] bigbangbilly, none [17:50] bigbangbilly: home and "home folder" are the same thing [17:50] the home foler's content is similar to the user folder for windows [17:50] SolarisBoy: I don't understand, I have compared with another computer where old dmesg is saved, the conf file is the same [17:50] yes bigbangbilly [17:51] Axio: i think you probably know best - you said you dont know what you changed =) [17:51] I am at templates and am I suposed to be there [17:51] and it is empty [17:51] bigbangbilly: nope not in Templates directory [17:52] just 'cd' by itself returns to your users home also i recall. ;) [17:52] I rememeber you said the location of it [17:52] the file that your posted link references is under the .config directory which is hidden you can hit CTRL+H to see hidden files in nautilus [17:52] dr_willis: true [17:52] I got bash: cd: google-chrome: No such file or directory when it typed cd google -chrome [17:52] Display problems, Lubuntu 12.10, LXDE, Some things aren't displaying correctly. screetshot of example: http://imgur.com/kGY2B [17:53] *screenshot of problem [17:53] bigbangbilly: you don't need to cd into this directory [17:53] bigbangbilly: ls -ltrh ~/.config/google-chrome/SingletonLock [17:54] Anyone that can help with display problems?

Not sudo, but root proper. 12.04. [18:09] I've had this issue with wifi occasionally too, where the system wants root's pwd rather than sudo. [18:09] same [18:09] !root | s5fs [18:09] s5fs: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [18:09] bekks: that's a worthless statement [18:10] indeed [18:10] s5fs: If you think so - good luck,. [18:10] it insists on roots password [18:10] s5fs, no it is not. But what do you mean patching [18:10] i always set a root password so i'm usually fine [18:10] bobweaver: update manager [18:10] There is NO root password on a stock Ubuntu installation. [18:10] bekks: understood, but the system is asking for root's credentials, not my own. [18:10] s5fs: root has no credentials on an ubuntu installation [18:11] s5fs, sudo user password ? I am confused [18:11] bekks: that's perfectly clear, i think. nevertheless his system is prompting him for it. [18:11] bobweaver: about a month ago when I'd apply patches or dork with my wifi settings, I would be prompted to elevate perms and was able to provide my password (via sudo) and satisfy the requirement. [18:12] what he's saying is that it's stupid to have update manager, and some other program i've even run into myself, ask for roots password when there is never going to be one unless the user sets it himself, which in ubuntu i believe is discouraged [18:12] I *think* that update manager uses system-installer No ? why would htat ever ask for root ? I have no clue [18:12] bobweaver: however, since then I've been prompted occasionaly for root's password, not sudo. hence my confusion. [18:12] s5fs, what does upgrade manager have to do with wifi ? [18:12] bobweaver: nothing, only that it too is now prompting for root [18:13] s5fs, that is weired I am also confused buy that [18:13] yeah [18:13] it should be fixed [18:13] s5fs: i guess you should file a bug on this. [18:13] I generally patch via cli, but today the update manager popped up and when I approved, it asked for root. [18:13] screenshot s5fs [18:13] ? [18:13] i always just set a root password, i rarely use sudo [18:13] bobweaver: i'll snag one next time around, it's oddly inconsistent [18:14] session-installer * [18:14] bobweaver: the wifi stuff is most frustrating because when it doesn't work, it requires a full restart. kicking over services does nothing. [18:14] or what ever it is called [18:14] i'll brb, rebooting [18:16] <[snake]> can I tell my 16:9 monitor to display a 4:3 resolution centered instead of stretched? I checked in the nvidia setting but couldn't find anything like this... [18:18] [snake], yes you can [18:18] you can place it however you want [18:19] nvidia-settings however will not do this for you [18:19] <[snake]> oh well how do I do it then? [18:19] tomreyn: yeah, I will file a bug, thanks. just wanted to know if anyone else had seen the issue before. [18:19] hello all, I installed some updates a day or two ago, and since then my nvidia drivers have been broken [18:19] s5fs, i have many times [18:20] <[snake]> Knuckle, try the nvidia version-current-update they're my favorite :3 [18:20] [snake]: I had those [18:20] they broke [18:20] I tried installing nvidia-current in favour of them (since the version number was higher) [18:20] no luck [18:20] <[snake]> BoomerBile, how do I set my monitor like that then? [18:21] hold tight, getting you the page and an example [18:21] <[snake]> ok :) [18:21] http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php?topic=106650.0 [18:21] i used that page, and i'm doing scaling manually because my 1920x1080 hdtv that i am using as a second monitor overscans the screen [18:22] <[snake]> Knuckle, im sorry :( nvidia is kind of terrible with drivers lately [18:22] so i have to shrink 1920x1080 into something smaller [18:22] [snake]: looking at my apt logs I see that I updated the kernel [18:23] that might be the cause [18:23] i believe if you update the kernel you also have to update the drivers [18:23] drivers have to be build for most kernel changes [18:23] s/build/built [18:23] hey, what's the command to remove all the unneeded crap from my ubuntu box? outdated packages, kernel headers, and the like [18:23] apt-get autoclean? [18:23] BoomerBile: how would I figure out what kernel certain driver versions were built for? [18:24] <[snake]> I think it's autoremove [18:24] DaemeonZane: orphaner, deborphan [18:24] not sure Knuckle i only use ubuntu on my laptop, and it uses intel... i run gentoo [18:24] tomreyn: What is the difference between those two commands? === sgerbino is now known as p1und3r [18:25] autoclean autoremove [18:25] http://pastebin.ca/2295878 <-- [snake] you see that link i posted a bit ago? here's another link, that's my xorg.conf you can see my example there if you need more help i can walk you through how to discover your settings [18:26] DaemeonZane: orphaner is a GUI for deborphaner [18:26] 0erHeks: Thank you. [18:26] <[snake]> BoomerBile, yes I got your last link also, I am reading them :) [18:26] you may also want to: apt-show-versions | grep -v uptodate [18:26] tomreyn: And the purpose of deborphaner would be to remove orphaned or outdated files? [18:27] and dpkg -l | grep ^rc | awk '{print $2}' | xargs echo [18:27] <[snake]> BoomerBile, so will I have to write all of my settings? or just the non-stretching part? [18:27] http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/302.17/README/xconfigoptions.html <-- here's the nvidia instructions [snake] probably better reading [18:27] DaemeonZane: orphaned or outdated packages [18:28] [snake], you can let nvidia-settings write most of your xorg.conf and then add what you need to [18:28] Danke. You have been most helpful [18:28] [snake], in gentoo we use nvidia-xconfig, you can get a list of options from nvidia-xconfig -A, or you can nvidia-xconfig and then look over what it makes [18:29] or just use nvidia-settings [18:29] and add what you need to. [18:29] <[snake]> BoomerBile, I had gentoo once, but it took so much time to do everything, so now I use ubuntu. [18:30] yeah, helps if you have a super computer for compiling... distcc is great, and i compile everything in ram... but it's no good on the road... so ubuntu for the laptop [18:31] well, i don't like ubuntu really so i should say, kubuntu [18:31] hm this is confusing me right now [18:31] the nvidia-current in the ubuntu repos is version 304.64 [18:31] which is the version number of the most recent legacy drivers on the nvidia website [18:32] any other nvidia drivers in the repos (current-updates, and the two experimental choices) are lower version numbers [18:32] ... how does that make sense? === support is now known as Guest53466 [18:33] oh, no there's one experimental one which goes up to 310 [18:33] hi [18:33] still, why would an "updates" version of a package have a lower version number? :/ [18:35] <[snake]> BoomerBile, so I think this is what I want: Option "FlatPanelProperties" "Scaling = Centered" [18:35] you could do it that way i think, i put a 1920x1080 window scaled to 640x480 in the lower right corner of a 1920x1080 monitor before, and the rest was black [18:37] <[snake]> ok, BoomerBile I think I've got it. we'll see, I'm going to reboot... [18:38] uh [18:38] no [18:38] wait [18:38] <[snake]> wut [18:38] you don't need to reboot lol [18:38] that's a lot of rebooting [18:38] <[snake]> oh what do I need to do? [18:38] just log out and restart x [18:38] BoomerBile: are you sure? [18:38] positive [18:38] <[snake]> well, that's tricky on ubuntu... i'll just reboot it's easier [18:38] how would you restart x [18:38] easy [18:38] properly I mean [18:39] hold alt, press prtscn/sysrq and k [18:39] <[snake]> I'm not saying it can't be done, I've done it, I just think it would be easier to reboot. [18:39] I must be doing it wrong [18:39] <[snake]> oh [18:39] or if ubuntu still uses it, alt + control + backspace [18:39] would that be equivalent to doing sudo service gdm restart? [18:39] yes [18:39] yeah then it won't work [18:39] BoomerBile: thx for your help earlier, i think i'm going for a reinstall. system is no longer suspending when i close the lid and the dedicated volume buttons no longer work. very frustrating. [18:39] it will work [18:39] <[snake]> BoomerBile, niether of them worked, I think you need to set that up [18:40] <[snake]> thus [18:40] <[snake]> it's eaiser to reboot for now :P [18:40] you might have to do it again once you get to gdm [18:40] but it does work [18:40] <[snake]> oh ok, I'll log out and try. [18:40] oh wait he's reloading a config [18:40] nevermind [18:40] I thought we were talking about reloading drivers themselves [18:40] i rarely reboot [18:40] you can do that too [18:40] well not properly [18:40] modprobe -r && modprobe nvidia [18:40] yes properly [18:41] oops [18:41] modprobe -r nvidia && modprobe nvidia [18:41] ohh okay [18:41] or you could do rmmod nvidia && modprobe nvidia [18:41] or rmmod nvidia && insmod nvidia [18:41] BoomerBile: how about if I want to try out the latest nvidia drivers [18:41] you can even force it [18:42] and remove the current opensource ones? [18:42] install them remove the old insert the new [18:42] from the kernel [18:42] just like i showed you [18:42] the kernel is modular for a reason [18:42] hm let me check out modprobe [18:42] the manpages [18:42] hey, when i am running ubuntu they are showing [18:43] running in low graphics mode [18:43] what card zero_coder [18:43] cant configure your graphics card or driver [18:43] BoomerBile: how'd I list the currently loaded drivers? [18:43] lsmod [18:43] I don't know the name of the opensource driver module [18:43] nv [18:43] or nuevou [18:43] depending [18:43] ah, nouveau [18:44] what can i do about it? [18:44] what card zero_coder [18:44] zero_coder, what is your graphics card make or model [18:44] intel graphics 3000 [18:44] ubuntu was running alright before [18:45] <[snake]> BoomerBile, um, I'm not sure if ubuntu uses xorg.conf anymore :/ [18:45] <[snake]> i just remembered [18:45] aight [18:45] here's the deal [18:45] <[snake]> oh well [18:45] xorg-server does not need a config file [18:45] but you Can use one [18:45] <[snake]> oh [18:45] if you don't provide one it will try to automatically detect it [18:45] so , what can i do? [18:46] ubuntu installs drivers for more cards than you need, and usually sets up the wrong one [18:46] or at least in my experience. [18:46] <[snake]> true^ [18:46] there is something else [18:46] when the grub booter loads [18:46] sometimes the arrow keys doesnt work inside [18:46] it [18:46] i mean , the entire keyboard doesnt work [18:47] so that i cant select windows or ubuntu [18:47] there are two ways to fix it, 1) uninstall all unnecessary drivers, amd, nvidia, etc... and hope that fixes it, which it sometimes does... 2) there is a command that if i can remember will allow you to choose the correct one even if others are installed [18:47] what command? [18:47] besides. what can i do about the boot loader [18:47] zero_coder: you haven't begun typing anything, by any chance? That usually disables the arrow keys for me. [18:47] (IIRC) [18:48] nope [18:48] the bootloader asks to select between , ubuntu and windows [18:48] but , i cant [18:48] i dunno how to fix that, i've never run into that problem before, and if i did it was the keyboard not ubuntu... [18:48] at time only [18:48] i don't believe grub is broken [18:49] but it doesnt happens everytime though [18:49] BoomerBile: installed nvidia-experimental drivers, ran nvidia-xconfig, everything went as expected [18:49] ran modprobe -r nouveau && modprobe nvidia [18:49] WARNING: Module off not found. [18:49] module off? [18:49] yeah... I don't know [18:49] heh, never seen that module in 16 years of compiling kernels [18:50] Hello. I'm Running into an error with installing ushare on ubuntu 12.04 "exit status 127" Full output here: http://pastebin.com/JmkcwWxF [18:50] BoomerBile: it's output from the modprobe -r nouveau [18:50] if I run that command separately I get it as well [18:50] it's only a warning, did the module quit? [18:51] I can still see it in lsmod [18:51] well you can force it to die === Catbunta is now known as Catbuntu [18:52] just read man rmmod or man modprobe and look for the force option, but if you do make sure you && modprobe nvidia or you might end up not seeing anything [18:52] hm [18:52] should I be doing this in an X session? [18:52] it could also lock your system if something else is using the module... i don't know what module off would be, probably something ubuntu specific? [18:52] no [18:53] BoomerBile: uh [18:53] doing it in an xsession is asking for trouble [18:53] Hello. [18:53] lsmod | grep off shows nothing [18:53] X session... heh [18:53] too much hacking [18:54] hehe [18:54] "sorry to interrupt our X session baby, I just have to do some modprobing" [18:54] how do i install a install.sh from the desktop that needs to be in root?

[18:56] can i have help somebody [18:56] kilombo-m9: 1589 people and bots bsides you [18:56] BoomerBile: so if not in an X session, how should I do it? in one of them ctrl-alt-fX terminals? [18:56] oh ok [18:56] ciao [18:56] Hey i just want to know how to fix something [18:56] stephen123 guess so, maybe you can report a bug [18:56] !ask | kilombo-m9 [18:56] kilombo-m9: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [18:57] kilombo-m9: and nice that you made it here [18:57] Knuckle, yes, you can just hit alt+control+f1, kill -9 gdm or kdm or xdm or what ever you use... kill -9 X to be sure, and unload the module and load the new one, using && like i showed you so you don't get left at a blank screen, i can work blind so i don't need to use && but i recommend it. [18:57] ;) [18:57] yeah that's definitely useful [18:58] I can do SOME things in a terminal "blind" [18:58] with blind being no connection to internet [18:58] you could just use ; instead of && but then if the first command fails the second will still run [18:58] does anyone know why unetbootin does not launch the ubuntu installer? [18:58] or rather, no convenient way to look up wtf to do [18:58] So my thing is im using my microphone for xtranormal and when i try to use it the thing comes up telling or asking if it will use the mic with permission i try to click on it and it does nothing [18:58] just started with ubuntu development center ( i am newbie ) any suggestions for learning python easily [18:59] Knuckle, when i say blind i mean i can't see error messages, or any text on the screen... [18:59] yeah === Rat is now known as Guest30369 [18:59] I get it [18:59] I'm not as much of a ninja as you I'm afraid [18:59] i just get left in sticky situations lol [18:59] WoW please someone help [18:59] kilombo-m9, you need to be in the audio group probably [19:00] how [19:00] gpasswd -a audio [19:00] then log out and back in [19:00] i'm sure there is some gui for doing it too [19:00] but i don't use gui's much [19:00] you don't need to be in the audio group on ubuntu [19:00] im kind of young i dont understand that === chiluk is now known as chiluk_away [19:01] just started with ubuntu development center ( i am newbie ) any suggestions for learning python easily [19:01] Hwkiller, you don't need to be? ok... i didn't know cause i add my user to audio anyway [19:01] hang on, let's first try to figure out what his problem is exactly [19:01] if you add your user to audio, it allows them to take exclusive control of the audio device, which you don't want [19:01] kilombo-m9: you say you try to click on it and it does nothing [19:02] correct [19:02] well, in my case you do but probably not his [19:02] thinkinbee: join #python [19:02] do you mean that the button you're trying to click on freezes [19:02] iirc, udev has rules to allow access to the audio device already, via pulse or dmix and such [19:02] or that you can click on the button just fine, but the audio still doesnt work? [19:02] kind of no no it doesnt i click but nothing happens its not freezing tho === Guest22358 is now known as ceradon\ === ceradon\ is now known as [ceradon] [19:03] is there a way we can audio chat?

[19:06] hi, i'm trying to run ubuntu live from my USB on my mackbook pro (2010), any hint? [19:06] hello Sutekh3 [19:06] I am having trouble running a C program on ubuntu [19:06] from the GUI [19:06] luck [19:06] i tried with refit and unetbootin but no kucj [19:06] Why cant I double click on a object file for it to execute?> [19:07] ok its just an adobe flash player [19:07] Hey, Guys [19:07] is there a way i can disable the thing to ask me [19:08] Sutekh3, what file manager are you using? [19:08] um [19:08] kilombo-m9: what did you expect it would be if not flash player? [19:08] i installed this off of someone's CD. Ill look it up [19:09] kilombo-m9: you can configre all sites to always have access to your mic, but i really doubt you want to do this. [19:09] Hey, How to give static ip in Ubuntu 12.10.? Help me plz. [19:09] Sutekh3, usually if you click help it will tell you pretty fast [19:09] kilombo-m9: which version of flash player is it? that's part of why i was asking [19:10] hold on [19:10] flash layer [19:10] ratan20989: you can set one in network manager [19:10] player [19:11] kilombo-m9_: so much was already known. and the version number is? [19:11] i dont know [19:11] I cant find the information about the window manager. I think it's gnome [19:12] wait [19:12] for the File Manager [19:12] it says PCManFM [19:12] kilombo-m9_: http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player/_jcr_content/main-pars/flash_0/file.res/widget.swf [19:12] tomreyn: I tried in edit connections but if i run ifconfig in terminal it is showing a dynamic ip. [19:12] <\\Mr_C\\> where is initrd-tools for ubuntu 12.10? [19:12] Sutekh3, i don't know much about that one, but it's probably why it's not working, i can click my own c++ program i wrote and compiled and it works fine in Konqueror [19:12] what is that for? [19:13] ratan20989: after editing the current or a new connection, you need to reconnect using this profile to make it apply [19:13] konqueror file manager? [19:13] kilombo-m9_: showns you your flash version # [19:13] Ok [19:13] apt-get ...??? [19:14] Sutekh3, yeah or use synaptic and search for konqueror [19:14] tomreyn: oh!, I'll try and i'll be back. thank you. [19:14] hold on [19:14] so it should just overwrite my current file manager right [19:15] no [19:15] you can have many installed [19:15] ok [19:15] tomreyn: Thankx alot I got it finally.. :) [19:15] i have nearly every one, never heard of PCManFM though [19:15] ratan20989: you're welcome, glad it works [19:15] when i double clicked on them [19:15] it was creating processes [19:16] its [19:16] but the program didnt pop up [19:16] 11.2.202.243 [19:18] kilombo-m9_: okay, that's a bit outdated but not much. it won't be the reason why it behaves unexpectedly when you try to change the privacy settings [19:18] why the ubuntu cpu load more than kubuntu? [19:18] cool [19:18] so u no what the problem is [19:18] Ok [19:18] ?

[19:19] pigload: Because different applications have a different cpu usage. [19:19] kilombo-m9_: no, i'm just trying to say that my suspicion that you had a much outdated flash version as wrong, so i have no explanation of why it's bahaving differently than what yu expect [19:19] ic [19:19] as -> was [19:20] here let me ty to update it thanks for your h elp man [19:20] I have a powerpc and am downloading the livecd but I have this question, what's the difference betwwen the other downloads: example and question here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1457712/ [19:20] the OS is saying now that I cant make any more processes [19:20] Thanks BoomerBile [19:21] Sutekh3, killall -9 [19:21] how can i use my nvidia card insted of my intigrated graphics in ubuntu?

[20:18] Just VNC or RDP? [20:18] downgrade back to 10.04 problem solved [20:18] mikk0: it will be one of the "lib*x11*dev" packages [20:18] or SSHw/Tunneling [20:18] dev_: that is a very unusual case [20:18] I'm dual booting ubuntu 11.10/Windows 7 at the moment and Ubuntu is having major display/freeze up issues. Is there a way I can reinstall Ubuntu without the need for a live CD and keep Windows 7 and its partitions intact? [20:18] Knuckle, yeah i don't know what to tell you in ubuntu, works on gentoo just fine [20:19] Gentoon: depends what you mean by "with x and all", after all X is a network protocol [20:19] you can reinstall ubuntu without hurting windows, but you need livecd or usb [20:19] Gentoon: if they are on the same LAN (low latency) you can just say on the desktop 'export DISPLAY=laptop:0' if you opne the suitable ports. [20:20] i wish there was another way to install ubuntu, like installing gentoo... you can do it from anywhere really [20:20] Is it not possible to install ubuntu via command line? [20:20] debootst4ap can work to install. or netboot. [20:20] jet no [20:20] or boot the iso from grub2 [20:21] Walex: Can you help me do that? [20:21] but those can get tricky [20:21] guess I might need to find CD/DVDs then [20:21] aYes very tricky [20:21] yeah [20:21] Just go buy a dvd at a store and make a new livecd [20:21] i keep thinking oh, i'm in ubuntu, i can install ubuntu on another partition without rebooting... wait no i can't [20:22] Gentoon: sure, but there are very many options. And some depend on you opening the firewall and/or ensuring that the X server binds to an IP address. [20:22] Gentoon: another possibility which is slower but easier is to use X-over-SSH tunneling. [20:22] BoomerBile: with debootstrap or vbox you could... but i bet id would be a pain [20:23] Walex: I am comforatble with that, its all ovber my LAN so I wont even need to touch the router right? [20:23] probably... gentoo is just extract and chroot, not sure what i'd have to do with debootstrap... i have a couple of ubuntu vbox installs [20:23] Five lies your tv salesperson will tell you [20:23] Walex: Id like to stay away from ssh tunneling [20:23] Gentoon: No need to touch your router. [20:23] (CUPS) I'm able to install two different printers, but neither will print anything, specifically not text documents nor test pages.

[20:35] I thought I had to start it manually every time [20:35] Walex, well i dont really know what filename i want. i just want the file with the headers for /usr/include/X11 [20:35] mikk0: for example 'apt-file search X11/Xresource.h' will tell you it is in 'libx11-dev' [20:35] depends on the distro [20:35] oh i see thanks [20:35] mikk0: when you compile something it will tell you it can't find a specific file... [20:36] wow, i just got past some serious boot problems [20:36] compdoc: we are talking about ubuntu here - so it is handled like planned for ubuntu :) [20:36] Gentoon: on Ubuntu any service you install runs on startup by default. [20:36] anyone want to run me through how to configure nvidia x server settings to have dual screens (left primary, right extented) [20:36] Gentoon: indeed, tragically Debian/ubuntu have a policy of starting any dæmon as soon as it is installed and then on every boot [20:37] what would be the preferred no cd/usb way to totally wipe and reinstall a broken/crashing ubuntu on a dual boot ubuntu/win 7 system [20:37] poz: lots of examples here: http://www.sabi.co.uk/Cfg/X11/ and in very many online places [20:37] Walex: That is not safe at all [20:37] poz: run the nvidia-settings tool ebnable twinview. arrange monitors [20:38] Gentoon: I think it is a crazy idea too, but of course Debian have thought it through and it is sort-of safe. [20:38] JetBoyJetGirl: There is none, since you need a cd/usb for reinstallation. Or you need a PXE server for a network based installation. [20:38] thats is what i typicalyl do, but i also typically mess it up before i get it right [20:38] this is the 10th time i am doing this [20:38] Hey Walex [20:38] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo badblocks -s -n /dev/sdc [20:38] /dev/sdc is apparently in use by the system; it's not safe to run badblocks! [20:38] i just hit buttons until it looks right [20:38] Its just a mounted 8GB Thumb drive [20:38] Do you know why it is saying that? [20:39] it would be awesome if i knew what i was doing [20:39] Gentoon: It is mounted. Thats the reason [20:39] poz: with 12.10 twinview turns on automatically for me [20:39] bekks: If I unmount it how do I tell it where it is? [20:39] 12.10 does not work for me [20:39] Gentoon: It will still be /dev/sdc [20:39] damn it, i did some stuff and now twinview is grayed out [20:39] i can not select it [20:40] bekks: Okay [20:40] o_0 [20:40] now my screens are white [20:40] there they go [20:40] it looks good now [20:40] i think i got it [20:41] *boom* === erry_ is now known as erry [20:41] I almost had to abandon ubuntu. it took me 2 days to get it to boot [20:41] Gentoon: because it is mounted. [20:41] Walex: Yea it is scanning now [20:42] Walex: I lost my buffer, what was that link again? [20:42] poz: at some point I became unable to boot an Ubuntu install, and I have been a opsys developer and admin for a long time. [20:42] Gentoon: a more detailed exposition: http://www.uic.edu/depts/accc/network/xwindark.html [20:43] I appreciate the understanding Walex [20:43] poz: one of the extremely unwise decisions of Ubuntu developers has been to make boot more complicated for the sake of it being "pretty". [20:43] pretty? [20:43] !pymouth [20:44] l [20:44] !info pymouth [20:44] Package pymouth does not exist in quantal [20:44] well it all started out because i wanted to solve a smaller boot problem regarding windows 7 and grub [20:44] :P [20:44] !plymouth [20:44] Plymouth manages the Ubuntu boot process (before the root filesystem is mounted) and also provides a graphical boot animation. To change your Plymouth theme use « sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth && sudo update-initramfs -u » [20:44] i spelt it wrong [20:44] Walex: Did you have a page that just was a walkthrough on what I need to do? [20:44] Gentoon: did a web search nand one link is here. http://www.hungry.com/~jamie/xexport.html [20:44] Gentoon: What exactly is the issue? [20:44] then no matter what it was ONLY booting into windows. even if I reformatted and reinstalled ubuntu and tryed several ways to change bios to boot into ubuntu. just went to windows 7 [20:44] Gentoon: it is hard to do a walkthrough, because you need to understand what you are doing. [20:44] bekks: No issue, we got it, thx [20:45] Gentoon: Then why do you need a walkthrough tutorial? [20:45] Nonsense I have follew many walkthroughs for things I didnt know what I was doing, like the first time I did a Gentoo install, I didnty need to fully understand how linux worked :p [20:46] bekks: I am already being helped, thanks. [20:46] poz: GRUB2 is diabolical it writes on parts of disk that it should leave alone. I am still using LILO, which is much neater. [20:46] then i found a backup that was some how (but conveniently) stored in my c drive in windows. after I restored the back up , all was good. i just dont know how it was saved where it was [20:46] Walex: That second link is perfect thanks [20:46] Gentoon: anybody can help here... [20:46] Walex: I didn't say they couldnt, I just find it easier to listen to one person. [20:47] Hi. I used to have auto-login enabled and it would always prompt me to unlock my keyring, but now I've disabled auto-login and I still get prompted. How can I fix that? [20:48] Tristan128: did you change the password? [20:48] i think my problem stemmed from "boot-repair" it put a bootloader on every disk and partition! [20:48] guntbert: no [20:48] i am just happy to be back in ubuntu is all i am saying [20:49] Tristan128: then I don't know - sorry [20:49] .ощштп №сьгізрштч [20:49] Is it possible to mount a partition from another system over a LAN? [20:49] Possibly install an OS onto it [20:49] !nfs | Gentoon [20:49] Gentoon: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [20:50] And grub supports booting an NFS? [20:50] Gentoon, you can install gentoo that way, not sure about others. [20:50] hmm [20:50] hello everyone! [20:50] Probably not Ubuntu haha [20:50] I dunno why I cant just wait til my SSD comes on Monday [20:50] BoomerBile: It doesnt depend on the distro. [20:50] exit [20:50] Just mad it isnt here now, like it should be [20:51] bekks, how would you install ubuntu that way? [20:51] I can't wait until my 23 inch IPS monitor comes on monday [20:51] cause i'd really like to know [20:51] bekks: Sure it does, I just researched and the installed has to support installing to NFS [20:51] it's gonna be awesome. [20:51] BoomerBile: By using debootstrap. [20:51] got a link? [20:51] Tristan128: they tend to be pretty good, which one did you get? [20:51] It depends on the distro if you just want to use the installer [20:51] Gentoon: It doesnt depend on the distro. It depends on the ability to mount a NFS share. [20:51] Hello, I need help with my internet connection. [20:52] Walex: this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008DWITHI/ref=oh_details_o03_s01_i00 [20:52] Gentoon: You dont need the installer to install Ubuntu. [20:52] bekks: Which the Ubuntu installer can not do, so it depends on the distro. [20:52] Gentoon: It doesnt, as I just stated. [20:52] Yea now you are being practical. [20:52] Lots of people install Ubuntu manually for NFS. [20:53] Gentoon, it depends on being able to mount an nfs share, as well as a core, bare metal installation of the os... which is how you always install gentoo, debootstrap is probably something that builds that core for you, i've read about this tool because i run ubuntu on my phone and they use it, but it's a ton more work [20:53] Gentoon: No one said that. I was just correcting your statement. [20:53] !debootstrap [20:53] debootstrap is used to create a !Debian or Ubuntu base system from scratch, without requiring the availability of !dpkg or !APT. It does this by downloading !.deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them into a directory you can eventually !chroot into. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot for more information [20:54] Sounds exactly like an Arch install. [20:54] Or Gentoo. [20:54] msg NickServ IDENTIFY Metman212!@ [20:54] Oops [20:54] D`oh! [20:54] Which application would be easy but yet powerfull and feature rich to use iptables? [20:54] I knda miss Arch [20:54] Gentoon: And like a gentoo install. And like the thing that the installer does. [20:54] !ufw | Eagleman [20:54] Eagleman: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. [20:54] Eagleman: try 'ferm' 'shorewall' 'firebuilder' [20:55] Any other Distro.. [20:55] Eagleman, shorewall [20:55] I'm trying to connect to another linux box via vnc/vinagre...do I need to do something on the remote box to allow that? [20:55] That is a broad statement [20:55] Gentoon: please keep your statements to ubuntu support [20:55] smacktalk: Maybe install a VNC Server? [20:56] guntbert: It was. [20:56] I just want to say that this is the best chat room ever. [20:56] My laptop Spots networks, but can't connect to them, when I try to connect...

[21:03] AndroUser: You cant ping an URL. [21:03] Doesn't work. [21:03] AndroUser: You can only ping a hostname or an IP. [21:03] Oh. [21:03] How can he ping an IP if he cant connect to a router? [21:03] Gentoon, he is connected, probably a DNS issue [21:03] AndroUser: You are on another computer right now? [21:04] any advice? [21:04] Gentoon: Until now, we just know that he cant ping an URL, which is technically impossible. [21:04] dub`: as a rule, the easiest thing is to change card, use a USB stick or whatever. The second easiest thing is to use backported kernel modules. The third easieest thing is to use a backported kernel [21:04] As I said, sometimes ubuntu says I am connected [21:04] OerHeks: No he said his computer sees the wireless networks but cant connect [21:04] I am on my andre. [21:04] Andro. [21:04] Newbie question... why can't a program access a directory unless it owns the full path? [21:04] Gentoon, " Ubuntu Claims it is connecting but it doesen't" is what i read [21:05] He isnt going to be able to resolve dns or ping an IP if he cant connect to a router.. [21:05] OerHeks: Read up higher [21:05] e.g. /my/data/directory/mysql - can't read unless /my, and /my/data, and /my/data/directory are all owned by mysql...? [21:05] Butch128: security fyndamentals [21:05] Butch128: Thats incorrect. Whats the actual problem? [21:05] Butch128, you have a key to the inside door of a building, your office, but you don't have the key to the front door, can you get through your office door if the front door is locked? [21:05] Butch128: Thats not true. It depends on the permissions set. [21:05] !permissions > Butch128 [21:05] Butch128, please see my private message [21:05] I've created a separate partition /mysite - two directories /mysite/mysql and /mysite/www - but unless /mysite is owned by mysql, mysql cannot read, and /mysite/www cannot be read by apache [21:06] AndroUser: Are you on the same Computer now that you are having connection problems with? [21:06] I have trouble resolving dns. I've checked resolve.conf on my bridged VM and it has the correct DNS from my router [21:06] any tips? [21:06] Hello.

[21:07] bekks: issue is... even if i chmod 777 all directories... still can't read... which doesn't make sense to me [21:07] gentoon: Sometimes ubuntu says it is connected, but the browser can't connect to any website. [21:07] hi all, I am having problems sharing folders between Windows and Ubuntu using VMWare can anyone help I follow guides but still not luck [21:07] negative [21:08] hm [21:08] I am new to Ubuntu and Linux [21:08] BoomerBile: Because the files have the wrongownership. [21:08] Butch128: never set a directory 777, unless you are exactly knowing what you are doing [21:08] network is unreachable [21:08] AndroUsrOnWindow: okay can you get access to the linux system now? [21:08] BTW, I am sorry I don't know much about my driver, etc... That laptop is for work.

I'd think that would be transparent for the networking [21:10] go into a terminal and type ifconfig [21:10] pastebin it for me [21:10] Butch128: It is a pretty bad idea to use 755 on a webserver.

[21:29] right, you can upgrade directly to 14.04 when it comes out [21:30] i will wait then [21:31] just thought that since i just installed to 12.04.01 there would be no risk [21:31] 12.10 install was not working [21:31] but i might if 12.04 is already set up [21:34] I am trying to install Ubuntu onto the Flash drive again, badblock came back with no errors full read/write [21:35] Gentoon: try unetbootin [21:35] winb: Thats how I got the iso on the 2GB USB [21:35] I am actually installing Ubuntu now [21:36] Gentoon: so it worked ok [21:36] My Laptop hdd died so while it ships I am try an 8GB Flash the laptops hard drive [21:37] Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this ---> http://i49.tinypic.com/214nl06.jpg [21:37] For some reasons the installer wants to install grub on the flashdrive [21:37] Unetbootin?

[21:57] and has nothing to do with the Ubuntu install lol [21:58] well that's what sdb is [21:58] :) [21:58] so for whatever reason, ubuntu doesn't like it [21:58] gac here is the dmesg [21:58] http://pastebin.com/3xzfwqUh [21:58] maybe it's not correctly reporting that it's empty, and ubutnu thinks there's a problem because it can't be read/written to [21:58] So I can never install ubuntu on this laptop? [21:58] Gentoon: Line 744 - 746 from your paste. Dont tell me I have no colue what you are talking about when YOU just overread whats your sdb. [21:59] i don't see why these errors should stop an installation, but if it is, then yes you may never be able to install ubuntu on it [21:59] try just putting a card in it or something, that might shut it up [21:59] bekks: What are you talking about? [21:59] Gentoon: your dmesg paste. [21:59] It tells you what sdb is. [22:00] Yea gac has already discovered this [22:00] We have been talking about it === Aww is now known as ` [22:00] It shouldnt have anything to do with my Thumb drive === ` is now known as Aww [22:01] Gentoon: I know. I just want you to not tell people they have no clue when it is you, who overread something. [22:01] bekks: i never saw anyone say you "had no clue"? [22:01] What are you talking about? [22:01] I didn't [22:01] He has been trolling people here all day. [22:01] He earlier said sdb had to be my thumb drive [22:02] And thats trolling...? [22:02] Even though I told him it was sdc [22:02] I£d better not waste my time with you then. [22:02] Please don't [22:03] Kept telling me my thumb drive was bad, even though I told you 3 times I did a full Badblicks read/write scan on it with 0 errors [22:03] Nothing in the dmesg points to it being a problem with sdc... [22:03] personally i'd just try getting a memory card of some sort, putting it in the card reader and trying the installation again [22:04] even though you're not trying to install to the card reader, it seems that ubuntu is trying to read it (maybe to give you a list of drives to install onto?) and failing, it may succeed if there's a card in there, and then you can install to the thumb drive [22:05] This is after I select the drive lol [22:06] But I found a 2GB MicroSD ill throw it in an adapter and put it in see what happens [22:06] i ran slacko off of one of those [22:06] it's worth a go, i reckon it's flagging up all the errors because the card reader is empty, but it's not reporting empty to the kernel and it's trying to read/write from it for some reason [22:07] you may find that if you can get installed, there may be a kernel update that handles it better, so the SD card might only be needed for the installation [22:08] Cross your fingers lol [22:08] hi, does anyone know a good video editor for ubuntu? [22:10] guys, need a little bit of help. I accidentally copied over my entire fstab file from my previous build (instead of just pasting certain parts) and now I'm getting a dev mapper error on boot up.

[22:32] no, i think it installs into a file in C:\Ubuntu or similar [22:32] So it doesnt run natively? [22:32] I want to replace the whole hdd with linux [22:32] yeah, it runs natively [22:32] Then make a CD or USB === Sierr[a]AR is now known as SierraAR [22:32] I do not want to save any thing including xp [22:32] there's a file on your NTFS drive, which contains an image of an ext4 filesystem [22:32] gac: Interesting I would love to see how that works sometime [22:33] ubuntu installs to that, grub chainloads it (grub has NTFS support_ [22:33] And how does it boot a virtual hard drive? [22:33] it's not really a virtual HD, it's just a filesystem image [22:33] gets mounted as a loopback device (like mounting an ISO rather than burnign it) [22:34] What is the simplest way to completely start fresh using linux [22:34] aplracer1: A CD or USB [22:34] Download the Ubuntu ISO [22:34] aplracer1: during the installation from CD it should give you the option to use your entire disk [22:34] do that :) [22:34] I have tried that to no avail [22:34] Burn to CD or use Unetbootin to make a bootable USB [22:34] I cant even get my comp to let me boot frokm any disc [22:34] What do you mean to no avail? [22:35] You cant get into BIOS? [22:35] I cant even get my comp to let me boot from any disc [22:35] I have tried it and it hasnt worked [22:35] bobweaver, i know i have done that in past it should be just an option to turn it on [22:35] How to turn on a feature where login screen comes to the point Ubuntu 12.10 is loaded, in other words when i start laptop, the laptop waits for user login credentials then the user enters and then Ubuntu loads, i'm looking to allow Ubuntu to load and open login screen as if screen is locked [22:35] aplracer1: Can you get into your BIOS?

[22:36] Del* [22:37] I am running xp on an old laptop and just want to wipe it and switch to linux, how would I do that step by step [22:37] Pay close attention to the first screen or 2 you see when you turn on your computer [22:37] Preflex....ready to laugh? [22:37] aplracer1: I am telling you [22:37] /dev/mapper/Silentkiller-root vs /dev/mapper/silentkiller-root [22:37] aplracer1: You need to access your Bios to change your boot order or at least access a boot selection screen at startup.. [22:37] * lickalott bangs head into keyboard [22:38] it doesnt give me the option to choose what to boot from when i turn it on though [22:38] Hello [22:38] how would i access my bios === Ethan is now known as Guest34719 [22:39] hit del after you hear the "post" beep [22:39] lickalott: Its different for every machine [22:39] what area should i look in [22:39] aplracer1: I told you, pay close attention to what it say on the screen when you forst start the machine [22:39] control panel?

I've read that compiz can be to blame, but I've tried using Ubuntu2D to no avail. Any recommendations? [22:40] yeah.... but in general if you don't see the bios flash screen start cramming on the F keys or del or esc [22:40] it literally goes from saying Toshiba to signing on to Windows xp [22:40] Gentoon, why would the grub not auto load? i have to physically hit enter [22:40] aplracer1: what model of toshiba laptop? [22:40] Satellite [22:40] which one? [22:40] lickalott: No, not in general it can be a lot of different keys depending on manufacturer make model bios etc [22:41] lickalott: I dunno, is it installed to the MBR? [22:41] Toshiba are usually Escape or F2, depending what BIOS it has [22:41] when the toshiba logo appears, try hammering on F12 [22:41] that should get you a boot menu [22:41] A25-S2792 is the model # [22:41] then you can choose to boot from CD [22:41] or USB [22:41] doesn't always work on old satellites, depends on model [22:42] it was [22:42] Hello, I was wondering if theres anyway to use my Laptops wifi, and have it give the internet (for lack of better words) out of the cable jack in the back of the machine [22:42] all of the sudden it stopped doing things right [22:42] gac: No warnings during install to the flash drive so far :) [22:42] Gentoon: good news :) [22:42] the model is A25-S2792 [22:42] aplracer1: that's the SKU, not the model number [22:42] gac: Yup I can get away from this damn Live BS [22:42] the model number will be "Satellite U200" or similar [22:42] Which has actually been a gos send [22:42] He said he got in BIOS though didnt he?

[22:45] Yes. [22:45] through your router I meant === mike is now known as Guest5706 [22:45] yeah [22:46] Just connect the desktop to the router with Ethernet? [22:46] Or buy a Wifi Card?
