| emergency | can anyone answer how to solve bad sector issue on a windows hard drive through ubuntu and gain access to files. | 00:04 |
| emergency | im using a live cd on the laptop that is having isues... need to access files before replacing the hard drive | 00:05 |
| bekks | emergency: There is no way to fdix a bad sector, when it's physically damaged. | 00:05 |
| dex__ | bekks, : thanks just two seconds | 00:05 |
| emergency | seems that there are 15 bad sectors.. it shouldnt be physical | 00:05 |
| Gentoon | I hate that my Thumb drive is screwed | 00:06 |

| Gentoon | I cant think of anything | 00:06 |
| bekks | emergency: How do you know that they arent damaged physically? | 00:06 |
| emergency | not mounting through ubuntu | 00:06 |
| emergency | a physical damage would have a click click repetivie noise... this was definitly from an update gone wrong | 00:07 |
| timeturner | vmware and ubuntu setup problem | 00:07 |
| timeturner | how do you guys setup NAT with vmware and a ubuntu virtual machine? | 00:07 |
| bekks | emergency: No. Totally wrong. A physical damaged may be caused by a head crash, or some other mechanical defect. But it may also be caused by a faulty magnetical coating on the plater. | 00:08 |
| emergency | I understand that a bad sector can be ignored , but i can not mount or access data from the corrupted hard drive | 00:08 |
| rpjs | emergency: there is no rule saying a harddrive has to make noises to be physically broken. | 00:08 |
| bekks | emergency: So there is a faiur chance that your update went wrong because of a physical damage. | 00:08 |
| compdoc | dont know anything about vmware, but nat is usually a default for qemu-kvm and I think virtualbox | 00:08 |
| brandx | i have a question i cant find an answer to. some of my windows will open lower than my physical screen and i cant get them to resize to fit. HP mini Ubuntu12.10 | 00:09 |
| BlackDalek | I am stuck... can some help me build a deb package from this - https://github.com/akent/python-iview ? | 00:09 |
| emergency | ill get to physical damage last resort... i need to know how to access data from it if it is just a software thing | 00:09 |
| angel56 | emergency: your update may have corrupted the directory structure. If linux cannot read the directories it cannot mount the drive | 00:10 |
| emergency | whats a deb package | 00:10 |
| emergency | would a data cable be able to mount it | 00:10 |
| bekks | emergency: First, you need to know wether your drive is damaged physically. Use smartctl and rub a selftest, short AND long. | 00:10 |

| bekks | s/rub/run/ | 00:10 |
| KI4RO | !deb | emergency | 00:11 |
| ubottu | emergency: deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. | 00:11 |
| Jordan_U | emergency: That said, there is software that can help to recover as much of the data as possible from the drive, onto another drive. | 00:11 |

| bekks | emergency: So your drive IS physically damaged. | 00:17 |
| === Sierr[a]AR is now known as SierraAR | ||
| emergency | how is it so becks? | 00:18 |
| bekks | emergency: 15 bad blocks. | 00:18 |
| bekks | emergency: You just said it yourself. | 00:18 |
| Jordan_U | emergency: I would recommend doing a full disk image using the utility GNU ddrescue, and hopefully you'll be able to mount from that disk image to recover the data. | 00:18 |
| emergency | a bad block doesnt mean physical.. could be directory error | 00:19 |
| Jordan_U | emergency: A bad block is by definition a physical problem. | 00:19 |
| dex__ | bekks, :anything useful? | 00:19 |
| coolball | gweetings webels | 00:20 |
| Jordan_U | emergency: Directories are at the level of filesystems, which is above the level where you're seeing problems. | 00:20 |
| bekks | emergency: A bad block displayed by smartctl does mean it is damaged physically, by definition, as Jordan_U just stated. | 00:20 |
| emergency | then how may i do a system image if its physical? | 00:20 |
| bekks | dex__: The Xorg.* logs are far more interesting than your auth.log | 00:20 |
| emergency | you are being awesome... | 00:20 |
| dex__ | bekks:sending you those | 00:20 |
| bekks | dex__: Please use a pastebin and keep it to the channel :) | 00:21 |
| Jordan_U | emergency: Because an image can be made of all of the non damaged blocks, and also normally reads are done in large chunks from the disk, where if any part of that chunk is bad the whole read fails. Utilities like ddrescue will carefully use smaller reads to get all of the good data. | 00:21 |
| emergency | and its an app jordan? | 00:22 |
| Jordan_U | emergency: Yes. | 00:22 |
| Jordan_U | emergency: If there are really only 16 bad blocks then it's very possible that all your data is still recoverable, but the drive itself is already toast and will likely just get worse. | 00:22 |
| TheSarge | So my default Monitor switched itself and now i see no option in Displays to switch it back? | 00:22 |

| dex__ | bekks, :http://paste.ubuntu.com/1458425/ Xlog.1.log | 00:23 |

| Jordan_U | emergency: You can still install GNU ddrescue, from the "gddrescue" package, from Ubuntu Software Center within the LiveCD environment (it will be stored entirely in RAM). You can also of course install it via apt-get, but you'll need to enable the universe repository first (which Software Center should prompt you to do automatically if I recall correctly). | 00:27 |
| Jordan_U | emergency: I suspect that you'll need help figuring out how to use GNU ddrescue. Tell me when you have it installed, or if you have any problems installing it. | 00:29 |

| un2him | gn00bie, what is the ? | 01:03 |
| Consty | #ubuntu _should_ have a pretty broad support role since bash scripts are an integral part of the system itself | 01:03 |
| gn00bie | but when I go to the new laptop (Lenovo y580 with Windows 8, UEFI (secure boot disabled)) it does nothing | 01:03 |
| gn00bie | un2him: thanks for listening, any ideas? | 01:04 |
| merval | Windows 8 has some weird bios lock | 01:04 |
| IdleOne | Consty: you may have a point there, but the rudeness of your comment to MonkeyDust was uncalled for. | 01:04 |
| un2him | gn00bie, i haven't had to mess with UEFI yet, so I'm not sure | 01:04 |
| Jordan_U | gn00bie: You need to setup the USB drive for booting via UEFI. | 01:04 |

| aller | Hello. What is LTS? | 01:07 |
| merval | aller: long term support | 01:07 |
| bazhang | long term support aller | 01:07 |
| bazhang | 5 years server and desktop | 01:07 |
| aller | I guess that Ubuntu does new releases, and some of them are marked LTS? | 01:08 |
| merval | aller: every 4th release is LTS I believe | 01:08 |
| MonkeyDust | aller 10.04 and 12.04 are LTS, 14.04 will be the next | 01:08 |
| aller | cool | 01:09 |
| merval | aller: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ubuntu_releases#Table_of_versions | 01:09 |
| gn00bie | merval: the problem is when I put in the 12.10 USB disc and boot up, it does not do anything, I get the lenovo logo, it flashes a few times and that is it. | 01:09 |
| gn00bie | once I get to what do you want to do, I think I can handle it | 01:09 |
| merval | gn00bie: have you checked the bios to ensure it's set to boot from USB? | 01:09 |
| merval | some BIOS have it set to load from DVD/CD then HDD and THEN USB. you might try moving USB to the top of that list | 01:10 |
| Jordan_U | gn00bie: Do you want to make your current installation booable via UEFI or would making a new installation that is UEFI bootable be fine? Is this a real installation or a LiveUSB? | 01:10 |
| aller | I'm trying to configure update-manager, to have latest software. So I guess I use "Prompt=normal" in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades ? | 01:10 |
| thoonai | hey | 01:11 |
| merval | aller: usually ubuntu automatically gets the latest versions and prompts for download... are you tyring to do something different? | 01:11 |
| thoonai | you know a good and working youtube downloader? | 01:11 |
| bazhang | aller, if on 12.04, then yes, | 01:11 |
| merval | thoonai: keepvid.com | 01:12 |
| bazhang | aller, that will make 12.10 visual as an upgrade option | 01:12 |
| gn00bie | Jordan_U: according to everything I have read, the 12.10 should be bootable with UEFI, all the EUFI related files seem to be in the image | 01:12 |
| thoonai | merval: thanks, know something for commandline? | 01:12 |
| aller | merval: I think I want "do-release-upgrade" ? | 01:12 |
| merval | thoonai: I don't. :-( | 01:12 |
| gn00bie | Jordan_U: I downloaded the 12.10 x64 image and dded it to the usb drive. It works with 2 other computers I have (older BIOS computers though) | 01:13 |
| thoonai | someone knows a command line youtube doenloader? | 01:13 |
| bazhang | youtube-dl thoonai | 01:13 |
| Jordan_U | gn00bie: It is bootable via UEFI, when burned to a CD. Just not when dd'd to a hard drive. | 01:13 |
| merval | aller: Ubuntu by default won't notify you of a release until it's stable and ready for release.. what version are you running and what vesion do you want do run? | 01:13 |
| thoonai | bazhang: youtube is quitting with unexpected error and not working | 01:14 |
| gn00bie | Jordan_U: ah ok, it seems to be a hair too big to fit on a CD (764 Meg), DVD works as well? | 01:14 |
| bazhang | then use something gui based, like the firefox plugin | 01:14 |
| bazhang | gn00bie, yes | 01:15 |
| thoonai | bazhang: most are simply not working | 01:15 |
| bazhang | thoonai, they all work here. problem on your ISP connection | 01:15 |
| Jordan_U | gn00bie: Yes, it needs to be a DVD (I forgot that Ubuntu 12.10 lifted the size limit they used to stick to to allow burning to a CD). | 01:15 |
| aller | merval: I have 12.04 LTS. I want latest, because network drivers on my Asus 1201N sometimes need reboot | 01:15 |
| IdleOne | thoonai: the youtube-dl package has been broken since Youtube changed their API. I think you can download an updated version but not sure where | 01:15 |
| gn00bie | ok so I need a writable DVD, thanks! | 01:16 |
| IdleOne | thoonai: unless that package in the repos has also been updated, in which case I have no idea | 01:16 |
| thoonai | IdleOne: I know, bazhang not | 01:16 |
| mayhew | aller: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/06/upgrade-to-ubuntu-12-10-quantal-quetzal-from-ubuntu-12-04/ | 01:16 |
| thoonai | IdleOne: the repo one isnt working | 01:16 |
| gn00bie | I was hoping I could use the USB jump drive as the boot medium, but I guess if I need to find a DVD I can | 01:17 |
| merval | aller: If I'm remembering correctly, and someone might correct me here, the LTS versions ONLY check for LTS releases unless you select to be notified for normal releases.. you can change it pretty easy in the settings of the update manager | 01:17 |
| thoonai | IdleOne: i try their version from theirs | 01:17 |
| bazhang | merval, yep | 01:17 |
| gn00bie | merval: yes, LTS only notifies of LTS and it is easily changed | 01:17 |
| aller | merval: yeah I can confirm I did this, "Prompt=normal" | 01:17 |

| un2him | antiphysicist, when you are booted into the live environment, you can also use gparted to see your partition layout | 01:25 |
| amarcolino | anyone care to explain or post a link that explain how to get ubuntu sharing files with windows 7, I have setup samba to share my backup folder found in /mnt/backup/windows/backup and it still doesn't show in windows. | 01:25 |
| bekks | amarcolino: Can you mount it, regardless wether it shows up or not? | 01:26 |
| dr_willis | amarcolino: theres entire books written on samba. How did you setup the share? I tend to just edit the smb.conf file to share the users homes. | 01:26 |
| bekks | amarcolino: For showing it up, you need nmbd as well. | 01:26 |
| dr_willis | amarcolino: often i have tto type in the server/sharename - share browsing can be brain dead.. | 01:26 |
| antiphysicist | jordan_u un2him I can't remember if i did have wubi, its my system but was years ago, gonna go do the mount thing and gparted thanks for the advice | 01:26 |
| un2him | antiphysicist, you can also run sudo blkid | 01:26 |

| merval | aller: sorry for the wait, doing double duty :-P tech support over the phone and support here ;-P if you're using desktop try going into your update manager and see if it's setup to check for non LTS versions. I've not changed that setting via command prompt in ages. | 01:29 |
| merval | aller: you can also run #do-release-upgrade and that should grab the 12.10 | 01:31 |
| IdleOne | merval: only if the prompt is set to normal | 01:31 |
| aller | I got it set to normal | 01:33 |
| aller | doing some apt-get upgrade, then will go for do-release-upgrade -d | 01:33 |
| merval | IdleOne: My bad.. I haven't manually updated in a long time. not since, 6.04 lol | 01:34 |
| merval | aller: sweet! glad to hear you got it figured out | 01:34 |
| merval | IdleOne: err 7.04 >.< | 01:34 |
| IdleOne | aller: -d might get you 13.04 which is a bad idea if you are coming from 121.04 | 01:34 |
| aller | :] hope it updates kernel, and that Asus 1201N has some realiable wifi driver | 01:34 |
| IdleOne | 12.04* | 01:34 |
| merval | aller: the -d forces the latest devel release I believe. might want to leave the -d off there. | 01:35 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | erm, bit of help patching a file? | 01:36 |
| amarcolino | dr_willis, bekks, ok I've finally managed to show it on windows however, I can't seem to login using my ubuntu username and password also I set it up using the samba gui but also checked the snmbd.conf file and it is correct | 01:37 |
| aller | IdleOne: I'm being little eager for *latest*, just to be sure wifi driver is updated.. I will probably endup in fluxbox, so some consistency problems in high-level Ubuntu desktop-stuff is not problem to me.. If that what is risky in 13.04 ? | 01:37 |
| bekks | amarcolino: Did you create a smbpasswd file? | 01:37 |
| merval | aller: 13.04 isn't release ready yet. you will end up with more headaches than anything else | 01:38 |
| IdleOne | aller: if you want to test 13.04 there is a link in the topic of #ubuntu+1 Try it on USB first. | 01:38 |
| aller | ok, skip the -d :] | 01:39 |

| dr_willis | AnthonyUK: what vnc server are you using? | 01:47 |
| AnthonyUK | i dont know it is the one that comes with mythbuntu, you check a checkbox to install vnc server half way through installtion | 01:48 |
| dr_willis | AnthonyUK: you may want to ask in #mythbuntu then. ive not used that in years. I just use the normal vnc servers like tightvnc, or vnc4server | 01:49 |
| dr_willis | im not even sure how maintained mythbuntu is these days | 01:50 |
| AnthonyUK | dr_willis: sorry just checked text now from putty it says "See vnc4server and Xvnc4 manual pages for more information." | 01:50 |
| dr_willis | mythtv is such a neat idea and project.. but i just had to many issues with it. ;() | 01:50 |
| mrhyde | is it wise to do updates on ubuntu when virtualizing it on virtualbox? | 01:50 |
| AnthonyUK | what do you use now dr_willis? | 01:51 |
| dr_willis | AnthonyUK: you could try just running 'vncserver' and see if you connect. | 01:51 |
| AnthonyUK | k think i have done that but will do again | 01:51 |
| dr_willis | AnthonyUK: the various xbmc type live disrtos on my Raspberry Pi :) so far this week... | 01:51 |
| dr_willis | I dont record tv any more | 01:51 |

| AnthonyUK | i typed "vncserver" and it said " Starting applications in /home/mythbuntu/.vnc/xstartup" | 01:52 |
| AnthonyUK | i typed in the local ip in VNC Viewer and still got the same 10061 error | 01:53 |
| antiphysicist | hey I went on the live usb installed xchat used gparted mounted the partition to mount now when I go in mount there's what looks like an ubuntu file system but the music, docs etc is empty shall I assume that I have some empty install of ubuntu and just reinstall? | 01:53 |
| ntzrmtth1hu777 | seems so. | 01:54 |
| ntzrmtth1hu777 | damn right dr_willis | 01:55 |

| dr_willis | ;) | 01:57 |
| AnthonyUK | nope dr_willis | 01:57 |
| dr_willis | when i start vncserver here i get somnthing like ---> New 'SSDBuntu:1 (willis)' desktop is SSDBuntu:1 | 01:58 |
| mrhyde | notes isnt preinstalled on ubuntu 12 anymore? | 01:58 |
| dr_willis | the :1 is the desktop # of the vnc servedr. which is basicallyy the port #. the client adds some # to it to get the port,. | 01:59 |
| dr_willis | if i run vncserver again. i would get a 2nd desktop on :2 and so on... | 01:59 |
| mrhyde | where can I see all my ubuntu applications | 02:00 |
| dr_willis | You could check the vncserver logs in .vnc - it may be the server is quiting. | 02:00 |
| AnthonyUK | oh wait i do see now | 02:00 |
| AnthonyUK | New 'mythbuntu-MS-7037:2 (mythbuntu)' desktop is mythbuntu-MS-7037:2 | 02:00 |
| dr_willis | notes? | 02:00 |
| blackshirt | mrhyde, look with dpkg -l | 02:00 |
| AnthonyUK | so i guess when you asked me to type "vncserver" it created a 2nd | 02:00 |
| blackshirt | mrhyde, describe your need detaily | 02:00 |
| AnthonyUK | do i now have 3 desktops running, one of them been the actual desktop of that machine? | 02:00 |
| dr_willis | mrhyde: you mean tomboy-notes ? | 02:00 |
| mrhyde | sorry i just found how, on dash home :) | 02:01 |
| dr_willis | AnthonyUK: vnc can share the current visible desktop, or have hidden desktops. | 02:01 |

| mrhyde | wow ubuntu comes preinstalled with transmission bittorrent client....to say the least I'm stunned at how great this free os is. | 02:02 |
| dr_willis | the reccomended way to get new isos of the latest releases is via torrent. ;) | 02:02 |

| kronik495 | hey, im new to ubuntu and im pretty bad with computers apparently. i've been trying to boot ubuntu 12.10 but its not able to install properly | 03:00 |
| plut0 | how do i connect to a remote ubuntu install via ssh? i keep getting permission denied when authenticating | 03:00 |
| avickery911 | Are you booting from an iso image? | 03:00 |
| maetthew | plut0, ssh username@host.com | 03:01 |
| kronik495 | i downloaded the ISO and then decompressed it to a disc | 03:01 |
| plut0 | maetthew: what username do i use | 03:01 |
| kronik495 | i tried it from a usb first but didnt get too far with that | 03:01 |
| maetthew | rd? | 03:01 |
| avickery911 | have you installec Open SSH? | 03:01 |
| kronik495 | open ssh? | 03:01 |
| kronik495 | cant say i've heard of it lol | 03:02 |
| avickery911 | sorry that was for plut0 | 03:02 |
| plut0 | avickery911: i'm on the installer still | 03:02 |
| kronik495 | wizard tells me to read the wubi log file | 03:03 |
| avickery911 | My first ubuntu experience I used Virtualbox rrom sun and pointed to the iso image | 03:03 |
| craigbass1976 | Caution -- old person alert... I'm trying to calibrate my joystick, which seems ok in jstest-gtk, but when I fire up Stella to play Combat, I can't turn left. Any ideas? | 03:03 |
| plut0 | ahh nevermind i got it, the username is installer | 03:03 |
| avickery911 | So you got partially through the install and it failed? | 03:04 |
| kronik495 | yeah, like five times | 03:04 |
| kronik495 | always at the same spot | 03:04 |
| bitplane | Hi, what's Ubuntu using for thermal throttling / fan control? My system is overheating and I'd like to change the settings | 03:04 |
| Jordan_U | kronik495: Don't install via Wubi. Uninstall Wubi then install normally. | 03:04 |
| Abhijit | !fan | bitplane | 03:05 |
| ubottu | bitplane: fan is Control the fan on/off http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-12058.html | 03:05 |
| kronik495 | after i disabled nod it got a lot further, but still failed | 03:05 |
| bitplane | thanks | 03:05 |
| avickery911 | Sou ds like you need a guru. I have never installed rrom USB only rrom image, eight different versions of Ubuntu | 03:05 |
| kronik495 | im just doing what the ubuntu site says to do | 03:05 |
| kronik495 | i unpacked the iso to a disk and ran the installer | 03:06 |
| avickery911 | What OS? | 03:06 |
| kronik495 | it just consistently failed and directs me to wubi | 03:06 |
| kronik495 | im currrently running win 8 -.- | 03:06 |
| bitplane | Abhijit: does that page load for you? | 03:06 |
| Jordan_U | kronik495: What page are you referring to? | 03:06 |
| kronik495 | trying to load ubuntu 12.10 | 03:06 |
| avickery911 | Will the iso rrom the USB boot to LiveCD mode? | 03:07 |
| kronik495 | Jordan_U: im not entirely sure? | 03:07 |
| Jordan_U | kronik495: You should either burn the iso file to a DVD and boot from that to run the installer, or use software like Unetbootin to put it properly onto a USB drive and boot from that to run the installer. | 03:07 |
| Abhijit | bitplane, yes it does. I think you need to logged in to view the page. | 03:07 |
| kronik495 | i have the iso file on disk | 03:08 |
| bitplane | I get an empty 200 response from squid with a cache miss in the headers | 03:08 |
| Jordan_U | kronik495: You referenced "the ubuntu site". Can you post the URL of the exact page you're looking at for instructions? | 03:08 |
| kronik495 | ubuntu.com | 03:08 |
| Jordan_U | kronik495: Do you have a blank DVD? | 03:08 |

| bitplane | grr I don't have an account | 03:09 |
| mrhyde | system76 or zareason> | 03:09 |
| Jordan_U | kronik495: That's odd, because the page you just linked to says nothing about unpacking any files. | 03:11 |
| kronik495 | i couldnt just run the iso as is, my lapy refused | 03:11 |
| avickery911 | Quick question, are you installingUbuntu 12.10 to replace Windows 8, run along side it, or in a virtual machine? | 03:11 |
| kronik495 | i unpacked after reffering to a few of my tech friends that are already runnig ubuntu | 03:12 |
| Jordan_U | kronik495: You don't "run" an iso. You either burn it to a DVD or you use a utility like unetbootin to make a bootable USB drive from it. | 03:12 |
| kronik495 | for the moment im trying to boot it off disk or usb before i decide to install in paralell | 03:12 |
| kronik495 | i have a boot disk of the iso | 03:13 |
| Jordan_U | kronik495: Which would you prefer to do, burn it to a DVD or make a bootable USB drive? | 03:13 |
| kronik495 | id prefer to make a bootable usb | 03:13 |
| avickery911 | The hell you can't, how do you think I'm talking to you now. | 03:13 |
| Jordan_U | kronik495: What OS will you be using to make the bootable USB? | 03:13 |
| kronik495 | win 8 | 03:13 |

| josefd8 | but why a distro like linux mint can? | 03:23 |

| lickalott | gents... have NFS and samba set up configured similar to previous OS isntall. I can see the folders but when i put my user info in it tells me it's wrong. | 03:30 |
| puff | Hm, I seem to recall there's an aptitude option to reconfigure a package... how do you reconfgure X? | 03:32 |
| Jordan_U | puff: The default configuration for X is to not have any Xorg.conf at all, with everything detected at runtime. So you can rename or delete your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to get back to a default configuration. | 03:33 |
| vlt | puff: dpkg-reconfigure? | 03:34 |
| puff | Jordan_U: Yeah, bt X is still broekn. | 03:35 |
| Jordan_U | puff: Use ppa-purge to ensure that all of the packages installed from the ppa are reverted to the stock packages. | 03:36 |
| puff | Jordan_U: I did... didn't work. | 03:36 |
| puff | Jordan_U: See darksleep.com/puff/xorg/external_monitor.log, the bit at the end. | 03:37 |

| mrhyde | libreoffice cant write to .doc format? | 03:38 |
| Jordan_U | mrhyde: It can. Are you having a problem with LibreOffice? | 03:40 |
| mrhyde | yes i open my job resume which was done on windows microsoft office, try to open and edit with libreoffice in ubuntu and it tells me its read-only | 03:41 |
| Squarepy | mrhyde, probably a permission thing, libreoffice can handle doc just fine | 03:42 |
| asgard20032 | Because of that ownership problem, whenever i plug a device that was not formatted on that computer, it said it is root owned, but on the computer i formatted it with ubuntu, automaticelly take ownership of it | 03:44 |
| kronik495 | well that didnt get too far, i have the boot drive all set up, but my laptop still wont accept | 03:44 |
| mrhyde | Squarepy: thank you that is true. instead of saving my document i did open and it was in a tmp folder. im able to edit now :) | 03:44 |
| kronik495 | i think that i just need help troubleshooting :/ | 03:45 |
| Jordan_U | kronik495: What happens when you try to boot from the USB drive? | 03:46 |

| kronik495 | 00225? | 03:47 |
| kronik495 | its the same issue that i had when trying to boot ubuntu from disk | 03:47 |

| kronik495 | well shit. | 03:50 |
| kronik495 | should i just write down the details then? i dont have a camera at my disposal | 03:50 |

| kronik495 | nonetheless, ill be back in a few. ill copy down the important details | 03:52 |
| Jordan_U | kronik495: That error message is probably coming from your boot firmware rather than from Ubuntu. If you have the manual for your computer/motherboard it would help to know what error #00225 means. | 03:53 |
| etzerd | hello all | 03:53 |
| puff | Ugh... okay, so X is failing to start. Unclear why, it just says "Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file." I am running ubuntu 12.4 on a thinkpad t520 w/optimus. I was trying to get an external monitor to work. I added the x-swat PPA and the bumblebee PPA and tried them, no luck. I have since ppa-purged both PPAs, did dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, not sure what else I can do. It boots, gives me the GUI login sc | 03:54 |
| puff | I log in, it flashes to a console log for a second then back to the GUI login prompt.] | 03:54 |

| jcunit | vmware says i need to install kernel headers | 04:01 |
| dcherniv | jcunit, install it then | 04:01 |
| Jordan_U | kronik495: OK, that's an error from Wubi. Boot Windows and uninstall Wubi. | 04:01 |
| kronik495 | other than that it just tells me to fix windows with a new install disk | 04:01 |
| jcunit | exactly the reason I'm here. | 04:01 |
| kronik495 | how do i get rid of wubi without getting rid of my entire boot drive? | 04:01 |
| puff | erncic: Yeah, but AFAIK nothing I've been doing should have monkeyed with that stuff. | 04:01 |
| puff | erncic: Any idea where that error might be logged? | 04:02 |
| kronik495 | what is wubi anyways? this is all rather new to me | 04:02 |
| Jordan_U | kronik495: By running the Wubi uninstaller, or using Windows' Add/Remove programs. | 04:02 |
| jcunit | kronik: boot into GParted, nuke your drive. reinstall using an ISO | 04:02 |
| JetBoyJetGirl | how many meg flash drive is needed to live boot/install ubuntu? | 04:02 |
| puff | erncic: Again, many thanks. | 04:03 |
| jcunit | does someone know how to fix this problem with vmware? it's saying i need to install kernel headers 3.5.0-21-generic. | 04:03 |
| dcherniv | jcunit, apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` | 04:03 |
| erncic | puff: I am thinking x-swat or bumblee may have dropped something in .xsessionrc, .profile ... see if you got anything in your .xsession-errors ? | 04:04 |
| Jordan_U | jcunit: Do you need VMware specifically? VirtualBox and KVM are much easier to install. | 04:04 |
| kronik495 | what should i use instead of wubi? | 04:05 |
| jcunit | thanks dcherniv/ | 04:05 |
| jcunit | that will take forever... slow internet | 04:05 |
| Jordan_U | kronik495: The normal installer, which you get to by booting from an Ubuntu USB/DVD. We're just getting rid of Wubi first. | 04:05 |
| dcherniv | jcunit, no problem | 04:05 |
| Jordan_U | kronik495: Do you understand how to uninstall Wubi now? | 04:06 |
| jcunit | i've never had this problem with ubuntu before... | 04:06 |
| kronik495 | not entirely. i feel like a moron | 04:06 |
| Sazpaimon | is there a way to change unity's alt-tab behavior to be windows style? | 04:06 |
| jcunit | is it specifically with ubuntu 12.10? | 04:06 |
| kronik495 | should i just delete wubi from my boot drive? | 04:08 |
| kronik495 | or is that a bad idea? | 04:08 |
| Jordan_U | jcunit: No, VMware is a pain to install with any version of Ubuntu. I highly recommend Virtualbox instead. | 04:08 |
| Jordan_U | kronik495: That is a bad idea. | 04:08 |
| jcunit | virtualbox gives me an error also | 04:08 |

| kronik495 | yeah i do | 04:09 |
| jcunit | the error i get is: Kernel driver not installed (rc=1908) | 04:10 |
| kronik495 | but wubi isnt there specificallty | 04:10 |
| Jordan_U | kronik495: That's odd. | 04:10 |
| kronik495 | little bit | 04:10 |
| kronik495 | the only "wubi" that i have is part of my boot drive | 04:10 |

| Mechdave | Sail, you need to open port 80 on your router | 06:07 |
| SolarisBoy | is there anyway to tell what options a driver is loaded with? like to see if something you added in /etc/modprobe.d/uvcvideo.conf is loaded with the specified options? (post rmmod && modprobe uvcvideo) | 06:07 |
| Sail | Mechdave: i already did that but its not working | 06:07 |
| Mechdave | Sail, did you forward all traffic destined for port 80 to your server box? | 06:07 |
| Sail | whenever i open my external ip address in browser it linked me my default router page | 06:08 |
| Sail | server box? | 06:08 |
| SolarisBoy | Sail: you need to port forward not open the routers port 80 | 06:08 |
| SolarisBoy | Sail: look for the option for "port forwarding" | 06:08 |
| SolarisBoy | Sail: and then set a port for the router to "accept" and configure to point to the internal ip:port of the webserver thats accessible behind the routers NAT | 06:09 |
| SolarisBoy | Sail: multiple how-to's online per router - use google | 06:09 |
| Mechdave | Sail, Also you need to log out of the root account and not run your IRC program as sudo... It opens up a massive hole in your security! | 06:09 |
| SolarisBoy | word | 06:09 |
| Sail | ok my router is dlink dsl-2730u thn i go to NAT in here i goto virtual server where i set my port 80 to http service | 06:09 |
| penguinman | Sail: having your router's config page open to the internet is also a major security risk. | 06:09 |
| SolarisBoy | yes it is.. | 06:10 |
| SolarisBoy | especially with your reverse ip posted.. | 06:10 |
| Mechdave | Sail, You also need to tell the router what ip address the server is on | 06:10 |

| plut0 | why can't i reinstall grub inside a chroot? /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?). | 06:44 |
| Guest92265 | isn't g++ included by default in ubuntu 12.10? | 06:45 |
| Jordan_U | plut0: Did you bind mount /dev/ /proc/ and /sys/ within the chroot? | 06:45 |
| plut0 | Jordan_U: sure did | 06:45 |
| Jordan_U | plut0: Please post the exact grub-install command you're using and the contents of /proc/mounts. | 06:46 |
| Jordan_U | plut0: (using pastebin for the /proc/mounts contents) | 06:46 |
| plut0 | Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/xwXGgXyE | 06:47 |
| plut0 | Jordan_U: none of the grub commands seem to work, same error | 06:47 |
| Jordan_U | plut0: Where are you trying to chroot into? | 06:49 |
| plut0 | Jordan_U: the ubuntu install | 06:49 |
| dr_willis | after you chroot - see whats in /dev/ | 06:49 |
| plut0 | lots of stuff in /dev | 06:49 |
| penguinman | Guest92265: i'm not sure actually. I always install build-essential automatically on a fresh install of anything with a buntu backend. | 06:49 |
| Jordan_U | plut0: Which is mounted where? | 06:49 |
| plut0 | Jordan_U: /rpool/kvm01 | 06:50 |
| Jordan_U | plut0: Your /proc/mounts doesn't mention /rpool/kvm01 at all. | 06:51 |
| plut0 | i see it in there | 06:52 |
| SolarisBoy | Tex_Nick: np - still looking for that power adapter for my usb hub to test ;> | 06:52 |
| Jordan_U | plut0: It's not in your pastebin link. | 06:53 |
| SolarisBoy | zfs? | 06:53 |
| Guest92265 | penguinman: i cant even install g++ manually. It says i have unmet dependencies | 06:53 |
| plut0 | Jordan_U: yes it is, zfs | 06:53 |
| Jordan_U | plut0: /rpool/kvm01 is not mentioned in your /proc/mounts. That may be because of the way that zfs filesystem/subvolume/whatever mounts are handled, but it's not there. | 06:55 |
| vivid | Guest92265: perhaps if you provide the terminal output of your attempt to install g++, suggestions for resolution can be made | 06:55 |
| Tex_Nick | SolarisBoy : if you need external power for your devices ... NewEgg is a great resource ... http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&N=-1&isNodeId=1&Description=usb+hub+power&x=0&y=0 | 06:56 |

| Jordan_U | plut0: Ahh, I was expecting the contents of /proc/mounts from outside the chroot. | 06:57 |
| SolarisBoy | i actually have a cool d-link usb hub which i am just now noticing (so dull) is externally powered (optionally) and i just never plugged it into the power jack | 06:57 |
| Jordan_U | plut0: What version of grub is this ( "grub-install --version" )? | 06:58 |

| Noskcaj | jennie, no formatting s involed, just click upgrade to 12.10 | 07:32 |

| Snowie | *sigh* | 07:33 |
| jennie | thats why I am upgrading, its the 1204 xserver issure | 07:33 |
| Noskcaj | or type "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 07:33 |
| Snowie | Noskcaj, jsut noticed i cant add friends in the client either. must be broked | 07:33 |

| Z` | Hi people. I'm on 12.04LTS. After doing an upgrade/reboot, I no longer have sound. How to debug it ? | 07:45 |
| aeon-ltd | Z`: is it muted in alsamixer? | 07:46 |
| Z` | aeon-ltd, nop, checked that (typing alsamixer in console and looking for 'MM') | 07:47 |
| aeon-ltd | Z`: what was in the update? | 07:48 |
| Z` | I can't remember :( But it must have been something minor | 07:49 |
| plut0 | Jordan_U: you still awake? | 07:49 |
| Jordan_U | plut0: Barely :) | 07:49 |
| plut0 | Jordan_U: what did you want to know now? | 07:49 |
| Jordan_U | plut0: grub-install --version | 07:49 |
| plut0 | 1.99-21ubuntu3.4 | 07:49 |
| aeon-ltd | Z`: ok then, we'll just check basic stuff. is your source good? are headphones plugged in? | 07:50 |
| * Tex_Nick thinks Jordan_U spends about 26 hours a day helping people ;) | 07:51 | |
| Jordan_U | plut0: For zfs support it's probably best to use grub 2.00. Have you actually succeeded in using grub-install with this configuration from the booted system rather than from a chroot? If not, then my guess is that it's a zfs specific problem rather than a problem with doing it in a chroot. | 07:51 |
| Z` | aeon-ltd, all good. I'll try a reboot :\ | 07:52 |
| plut0 | what does grub-probe check for device path? | 07:52 |
| Jordan_U | plut0: For most filesystems /proc/self/mountinfo , for zfs I believe various functions from libzfs are used. | 07:55 |
| picstand | can anyone explain me what this sentence mean. I have tried copying everything everywhere, but cryopid just won't compile "Before compiling you *MUST* make sure that the header files for the version of | 07:56 |
| picstand | Linux you are using are copied or linked into /usr/include" | 07:56 |
| picstand | ? | 07:57 |
| plut0 | how do i tell apt-get to ignore packages to be removed? | 07:58 |
| helmut_ | hi | 07:59 |
| dcherniv | picstand, usually means that appropriate header package needs to be installed | 07:59 |
| dcherniv | picasso, ie linux-headers-<YOURKERNEL> | 07:59 |
| picstand | see that's what I thought, I took the linux-header.... from /usr/src and copied it to /usr/include and when I try to compile it still cant file the user.h | 08:01 |
| picstand | let em try again | 08:01 |
| plut0 | i have a package set to be removed, how do i set it not to remove anymore? | 08:02 |
| Jordan_U | plut0: What symptoms are you seeing? If a package has started the process of being removed you really should let it be removed then just re-install it. If you're seeing that something needs to be removed for you to install another package then there are some dependency issues. | 08:05 |
| plut0 | Jordan_U: old linux kernel is set to be removed, it always fails because grub is failing | 08:05 |
| plut0 | Jordan_U: i need to upgrade grub to v2 but i'm stuck in a circular dependency hell now | 08:06 |
| tomreyn | using dpkg directly, if (really) necessary with --force* options, can help there most of the time. | 08:07 |
| Jordan_U | plut0: sudo mv /usr/sbin/update-grub{,-backup} && sudo ln -s /bin/true /usr/sbin/update-grub | 08:08 |
| Jordan_U | plut0: I'm going to assume that you understand what that does, and how to revert it. If not, say so and I'll explain. | 08:08 |

| plut0 | Jordan_U: yes | 08:39 |
| plut0 | Jordan_U: any ideas? | 08:41 |
| === computer is now known as c0mputer | ||
| Jordan_U | plut0: The problem is probably somehow due to you running this from a chroot from a liveCD since aufs is from the liveCD environment. I don't know if it's the same problem that grub is having. This error is coming from code not related to grub, but is also code trying to get information about the root filesystem. | 08:44 |
| plut0 | Jordan_U: shouldn't it read from /etc/mtab and not /proc/mounts ? | 08:44 |
| pigload | my xchat under gnome is unable to private message help pls | 08:46 |
| Jordan_U | plut0: Definitely not. /etc/mtab is unreliable as it needs to be updated from userspace (and might be on a read-only filesystem), doesn't reflect the current context (/proc/self/mountinfo which will give correct information inside and outside of chroots among other things). | 08:49 |
| plut0 | i suspect its reading /proc/mounts though | 08:49 |

| Gentoon | No, I dont want anymore SDXC cards from them | 09:57 |
| Gentoon | They are junk | 09:57 |

| kradk | Gentoon: I didn't get you. What do I do now? | 10:21 |
| kradk | Is it because I'm not having the latest version of Ubuntu?? | 10:22 |

| zwiep` | hello | 10:27 |
| Gentoon | gac: Thx | 10:28 |
| zwiep` | I have a question regarding the files browser | 10:28 |
| daftykins | !ask | 10:28 |
| ubottu | 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 | 10:28 |
| kradk | gac: can you specify the full command? i'm getting "release: command not found" | 10:28 |
| MonkeyDust | gac try /exec lsb_release -a | 10:28 |
| gac | kradk: do-release-upgrade is the commant | 10:28 |
| decoded5 | where are license keys stored in ubuntu? | 10:28 |
| Gentoon | kradk: What was the output of lsb_release -a | 10:29 |
| gac | seems like you're using spaces instead of hyphens | 10:29 |
| Gentoon | I am guessing pidgeon | 10:29 |
| Gentoon | Or weasel | 10:29 |
| Gentoon | I forget the damn release names | 10:29 |
| MonkeyDust | sorry, addressed wrong nick ^^^ | 10:29 |
| gac | 2.6 kernel is probably lucid (10.04LTS) | 10:30 |
| Gentoon | Haha where did I get Weasel haha | 10:30 |
| Gentoon | So every generation has a LTS and an unstable? | 10:30 |
| Gentoon | is that the model? | 10:30 |
| gac | nah | 10:30 |
| decoded5 | where are license keys stored in ubuntu? | 10:30 |
| gac | every 2 years (roughly) there's an LTS release | 10:30 |
| Gentoon | LMGTFY | 10:30 |
| zwiep` | I mounted some nfs shares to /mnt/nas/sharedir but I'm finding it quite extensive to browse there every time. Isn't there a way to have for example NAS as a folder under 'computer' in the left pane of my files browser? | 10:31 |
| gac | 6.06LTS, 6.10, 7.04, 7.10, 8.04LTS, 8.10, 9.04, 9.10, 10.04LTS, 10.10, etc | 10:31 |
| MonkeyDust | zwiep` add a bookmark | 10:31 |
| gac | also the non-LTS releases aren't "unstable", they're of release quality | 10:32 |
| zwiep` | aha | 10:32 |
| zwiep` | thanks! | 10:32 |
| Gentoon | Actualy I cant google it for you because you didnt specify which licence keys | 10:32 |
| gac | but there's not enough manpower to support EVERY release for 3/5 years, so they pick and choose a long-term release | 10:32 |
| gac | the others get 18months of support and are then dropped | 10:32 |
| Gentoon | The LTS are "More Stab;e" | 10:32 |
| Gentoon | Stable | 10:32 |
| Gentoon | And will get security rleases for longer | 10:32 |
| Gentoon | But I was always a SID guy | 10:33 |
| gac | they have longer support, i wouldn't say they're more stable though as that implies the other releases aren't stable | 10:33 |
| decoded5 | where are license keys stored in ubuntu? | 10:33 |
| gac | but yeah, it sounds like we're talking about the same thing | 10:33 |
| gac | :)( | 10:33 |
| gac | license keys for what, decoded5 ? | 10:33 |
| Gentoon | No it implies they are less stable.. | 10:33 |
| decoded5 | gac: phpstorm www.jetbrains.com | 10:33 |
| Gentoon | I watched Human Centipede, don | 10:34 |
| Gentoon | 't ever do it. | 10:34 |
| gac | Gentoon: ok then, less stable, but i don't think they are. there's a difference between "less stable" and "less supported"...but yeah, it sounds like we mean the same thing anyway :) | 10:34 |
| gac | decoded5: no idea :) if you open the IDE, then there may be an option to export your license key? | 10:34 |
| gac | otherwise, you probably received it by email/download, you could just get a fresh copy of it | 10:35 |
| Gentoon | gac: The repos include later versions of applications that are not always fully tested | 10:35 |
| Gentoon | I mean not Alpha or anything | 10:35 |
| kradk | gac: upgrading via do-release-upgrade is faster than the other way (downloading ISO and installing)? | 10:35 |
| decoded5 | gac: i tried that. theres no supprt for license key export, removal or changing. I have to do it manually i think. | 10:35 |
| === koi is now known as booboo | ||
| Gentoon | kradk: That wouldnt be upgrading, that would be re installing a later version | 10:36 |
| gac | kradk: I've never benchmarked it speed-wise, but it's certainly easier to do an in-place upgrade | 10:36 |
| MonkeyDust | kradk fresh install tends to be cleaner, faster and more efficient | 10:36 |
| Gentoon | Cant you use use the update-manager? | 10:36 |
| Gentoon | Run all your updates then do a dist upgrade? | 10:36 |
| gac | that's what do-release-upgrade does, pretty much | 10:36 |
| Gentoon | Thats how I went from 12.04 to 12.10 | 10:36 |
| Gentoon | oh | 10:37 |
| gac | i think it also has some additional logic specifically for upgrades, which is why I use it rather than just updating repos and doing a dist-upgrade as you would with debian | 10:37 |
| Tex_Nick | release stability has a LOT to do with vendor hardware/chip support ... hardware vendors put a LOT more effort into LTS releases than non LTS | 10:37 |
| kradk | So, that means I need to re-install it every time a new version is released? | 10:37 |
| gac | kradk: not at all | 10:37 |
| gac | kradk: you do a "do-release-upgrade" and that will bring you up to date | 10:37 |
| kradk | Okay cool. | 10:37 |
| Gentoon | All the way from 4 versions back? | 10:37 |
| Gentoon | That is nifty.. | 10:38 |
| gac | Gentoon: yep, although it'll do one step at a time | 10:38 |
| Gentoon | I need to write that down | 10:38 |
| Gentoon | Hope it cleans up its mess well | 10:38 |
| gac | unless it's LTS, in which case it'll jump you straight from one supported LTS to the next (i.e. 10.04LTS to 12.04LTS) | 10:38 |
| kradk | Sorry about my noob questions. I'm new to linux. | 10:38 |

| Catbuntu | Nvidia GeForce GT 545 should be compatible with Ubuntu, shouldn't it? | 10:41 |
| Gentoon | Okay lets see if this 8GB thumb drive can handle the live install | 10:41 |
| gac | yeah, with the proprietary drivers it should be fine, Catbuntu | 10:41 |
| Gentoon | if not its goin in the garbage and I am SOL till my SSD gets here | 10:42 |
| Catbuntu | Ok. | 10:42 |
| kradk | I've been using windows till now, but I decided it's time to make a change. My pc was infected with viruses, programs started crashing and it was slow... anyway switching to linux fixes some of these issues. at least, I hope so. | 10:42 |
| Catbuntu | I'm thinking on buy a new desktop computer, and I saw this nice one: http://www8.hp.com/es/es/products/desktops/product-detail.html?oid=5191818 | 10:42 |
| Catbuntu | It's not certified, but should it work? | 10:42 |

| Catbuntu | I don't have experience with desktop computers, HP is a good brand? | 10:44 |
| Gentoon | To a non geek it looks like you are hacking Nasa, all the time | 10:44 |
| MonkWitDaFunk | Q: does ubuntu support drivers for sound blaster audigy expansion cards? | 10:44 |
| gac | Catbuntu: HP are "ok", just like Dell are "ok", and everyone is "ok" | 10:44 |
| WeechWeb | if you can buid your own | 10:44 |
| Tex_Nick | Catbuntu : you could compare the individual components of a platform to ... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport | 10:45 |
| WeechWeb | then you get 100% compatibility if you build it for uuntu | 10:45 |
| gac | the components are much of a muchness, I tend to differentiate on support...which usually isn't great for retail users, from any company | 10:45 |
| Catbuntu | I know Tex_Nick. | 10:45 |
| Gentoon | 8GB Live install is not lookin good ;( | 10:45 |
| Catbuntu | At least Nvidia has better Linux support than AMD ATI, I think. | 10:45 |
| WeechWeb | they do catubuntu | 10:46 |
| Catbuntu | Though Nvidia laptops with Optimus are bad for Linux. | 10:46 |
| WeechWeb | i have nvidia and it detects it easerally | 10:46 |
| Catbuntu | Yep, me too. | 10:46 |
| Gentoon | Taking forever to boot and on tty1 I see timeout /sbin/blkid -o udev - p /dev/sdb | 10:46 |

| Gentoon | Grrrr | 10:46 |
| Catbuntu | My actual laptop, an Acer Aspire 6930 (which is oldie, came with Vista), works better on Linux than on Windows. | 10:46 |
| Gentoon | Im stuck with my 2GB I guess | 10:46 |
| WeechWeb | defently catubuntu | 10:46 |
| WeechWeb | my old dell inspiron runs on ubuntu server | 10:46 |

| Gentoon | Haha, ya see what I did there? | 10:47 |
| WeechWeb | no? | 10:47 |
| Catbuntu | That HP desktop has 16GB of RAM, oh my god. | 10:48 |
| Gentoon | Anchorman/Linux Server joke... | 10:48 |
| WeechWeb | My old server runs on 2GB of ram, never had a problem with it :D | 10:48 |

| Catbuntu | Why do I want 16GB of RAM. | 10:48 |
| Catbuntu | I never use more than 1GB on my current 3GB RAM. | 10:48 |
| gac | Catbuntu: more is always good | 10:48 |
| Catbuntu | If it's well supported yes. | 10:48 |
| gac | better caching, less chance of ever swapping, etc | 10:48 |

| Catbuntu | My nightmare is to install Ubuntu on a Windows 8 UEFI-ish computer. | 10:50 |

| Catbuntu | I think you always can excepting the RT ARM version. | 10:51 |
| WeechWeb | Oh, ok, Thanks! :) | 10:51 |
| Catbuntu | The problem is GRUB. | 10:51 |

| === adrien_ is now known as Guest11009 | ||
| Catbuntu | Because there's UEFI, and you have to do odd things to use GRUB. | 10:51 |

| Catbuntu | I don't thing is simple as running SuperGRUB | 10:51 |

| MonkWitDaFunk | can you use grub to run scripts native to linux? | 10:53 |
| === support is now known as Guest6540 | ||
| WeechWeb | MonkWitDaFunk: i dont think so, because its a bootloader, it just starts the partition basicly | 10:54 |
| MonkWitDaFunk | thats what i thought | 10:55 |
| Jordan_U | MonkWitDaFunk: You can pass parameters to the kernel which will trigger certain scripts to be run, but grub isn't linux. It can't run *NIX binaries or *NIX scripts (though it can run grub-script scripts, which use a bash like syntax). | 10:55 |
| Jordan_U | MonkWitDaFunk: What is your end goal? | 10:56 |
| MonkWitDaFunk | i got confused as grub being a bootloader and running badblocks as a script | 10:56 |
| MonkWitDaFunk | grub can be usefull using thin clients or.diskless.workstations right? | 10:58 |
| bekks | MonkWitDaFunk: Uhm, maybe. :) | 10:59 |
| MonkWitDaFunk | hi bekks | 10:59 |
| bekks | MonkWitDaFunk: grub provides the ability to actually choose which OS or kernel you want to boot | 10:59 |
| WeechWeb | i dont suppose anyone can tell me how to turn off the spammy join/leave msg's. | 10:59 |
| MonkWitDaFunk | how do i get started running grub to network boot? | 10:59 |
| WeechWeb | pxe? | 11:00 |
| bekks | MonkWitDaFunk: grub has no ability to boot from your network. Thats a functionality required to be provided by your network card. | 11:00 |

| WeechWeb | Im planning to get a 2TB external HDD to install ubuntu on, am i gonna notice bad speed or anything | 11:06 |
| bekks | WeechWeb: How will it be connected? USB3? | 11:06 |
| MonkWitDaFunk | whos the maker of.the sata disk? | 11:07 |
| WeechWeb | No USB2 | 11:07 |
| WeechWeb | since most of the deviced i wanna boot from are USB2 only | 11:07 |
| bekks | WeechWeb: That will be pretty damn slow for an installation. | 11:07 |
| bekks | MonkWitDaFunk: Doesnt mattter. USB2 is slower than every current disk. | 11:07 |
| WeechWeb | Maplins (UK) is doing a 2TB HDD for £69.99 i think it is so i thought i might get one | 11:08 |
| WeechWeb | the only reasion is i filled up my pc | 11:08 |
| WeechWeb | and i use large files like linux distros on multiple pc's | 11:08 |
| MonkWitDaFunk | how does usb get called scsi by daricks boot and nuke? | 11:09 |

| WeechWeb | i have a ubuntu server with some videos i wanna upload youtube videos from, any idea how i would do it from the command line, i use google apps for my domain aswell | 11:12 |
| WeechWeb | just because my ubuntu server has a good wired connection so it makes sense since i keep them on there via FTP | 11:12 |
| bekks | WeechWeb: youtube didnt implement a FTP upload. | 11:13 |
| WeechWeb | bekks: there on my server via FTP | 11:14 |
| bekks | Better use SFTP. | 11:14 |
| WeechWeb | bekks: i mean how would i upload them to youtube via command line | 11:14 |
| WeechWeb | bekks: well its all internal and firewalled | 11:14 |
| tomreyn | i bet that's off-topic here but you can use something like https://code.google.com/p/youtube-upload/downloads/list | 11:14 |
| bekks | WeechWeb: Youtube has no cmdline interface. | 11:14 |
| WeechWeb | bekks: i ment like a 3rd party program | 11:14 |
| bekks | Oh, actually someone implemented youtube-upload :) | 11:14 |
| WeechWeb | and thnks tomreyn you found it! | 11:15 |
| WeechWeb | *thanks | 11:15 |
| tomreyn | entering "youtube upload cli" in a web search wasnt that tough | 11:15 |
| WeechWeb | sorry, i guess i was googleing the worng thingd | 11:16 |
| WeechWeb | *things | 11:16 |
| WeechWeb | i googled "upload videos from ubuntu terminal" | 11:16 |

| tomreyn | diverdude: is it installed + active on your system, though? | 11:19 |
| diverdude | tomreyn, yeah i think so | 11:19 |
| MonkWitDaFunk | gimp can be found in the dash of ubuntu | 11:20 |
| MonkWitDaFunk | its a image editor | 11:20 |
| WeechWeb | sudo apt-get install gimp | 11:20 |
| gartral | MonkWitDaFunk: too heavy. I need a light photo editor | 11:20 |
| tomreyn | diverdude: then edit the very network manager profile in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ | 11:21 |
| diverdude | tomreyn, hmmm no such directory | 11:21 |

| tomreyn | diverdude: sorry, I needed to handle some fire. have you found + read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager yet? | 12:04 |
| tomreyn | if you need a CLI to manage network manager settings apparently there is nmcli | 12:04 |
| tomreyn | if it's running and managing your connection then you should see a "network-manager" service | 12:05 |
| tomreyn | sudo service network-manager status | 12:06 |
| em_ | any ideas with PAE ..? | 12:06 |
| diverdude | tomreyn, hmmm ok i get this | 12:06 |

| tomreyn | em_: did you just install it or have you also booted it and verified you booted it? | 12:07 |
| tomreyn | diverdude: so it should be active unless there is "manual" in /etc/init/network-manager.override | 12:07 |
| em_ | tomreyn, how to check it ? | 12:07 |
| em_ | tomreyn, i have only one kernel in boot.... | 12:08 |

My question to you is: is it possible to ssh http://domainname/script.php directly and how do i do this? | 12:17 |

| Ririshi | I was thinking about how i should formulize it (fail english -.-) | 12:22 |
| tomreyn | diverdude: sorry,apparently nmcli doesn't allow for editing your profiles or adding new ones. i'm just learning myself as we go. but i don't nkow how else to do it or where your configuration is stored if not in the locations i provided earlier which are also listed on the help page I linked. | 12:23 |

| tomreyn | em_: please run: grep -i PAE /proc/cpuinfo 2>&1| pastebinit | 12:26 |
| InspectorCluseau | ucker2, I had a similar issue, but I am using kde and I set the video to use raster and that corrected the slow/jerkiness. I don't know what gnome has for that. | 12:26 |

| Ririshi | srhb: XP is installed in /dev/sda4 | 12:37 |
| srhb | Ririshi: Yes, but its bootloader might be in sda1 | 12:37 |
| srhb | Ririshi: Which may contain the information to locate your NTLDR | 12:37 |
| Ririshi | srhb: sda1 is an extended partition, which contains my ubuntu ext4 and linux-swap | 12:38 |
| Ririshi | shrb: sda2 is my windows 7, sda3 is a data partition and sda4 is my windows xp (which only runs when my SATA controller is in IDE mode) | 12:38 |
| srhb | Ririshi: Then I'm guessing the instructions to find NTLDR were in the MBR which was now overwritten by grub. | 12:39 |
| gartral | Ririshi: no swap? | 12:40 |
| Ririshi | gartral: read my msg -.- | 12:40 |
| Ririshi | gartral: [12:38] <Ririshi> srhb: sda1 is an extended partition, which contains my ubuntu ext4 and linux-swap | 12:40 |
| Ririshi | srhb: is there a way to get those back? | 12:42 |
| srhb | Ririshi: Yes, I believe you need to use an XP restore | 12:42 |
| Ririshi | srhb: and then? will grub be deleted? | 12:42 |
| srhb | Ririshi: Unfortunately that will cause your MBR to be rewritten, so you also need to be able to reinstall grub | 12:42 |
| srhb | Ririshi: Yes | 12:42 |
| Jordan_U | Ririshi: You have no boot files in your XP partition, this clearly isn't a complete XP install. | 12:42 |
| Ririshi | Jordan_U: I wondered about that too.. I'll check the partition with mount and nautilus and see if i can find stuff like boot.ini. | 12:43 |
| srhb | Ririshi: You can also try manually copying them to the drive. | 12:43 |
| Ririshi | srhb: how would i tell grub where they are? | 12:44 |
| em_ | tomreyn, http://bastein.com/d3KDZjH9 | 12:44 |
| em_ | tomreyn, http://bastein.com/BBsVG3ft | 12:44 |
| srhb | Ririshi: You already did, they should be on sda4 | 12:44 |
| Ririshi | srhb: in the root? like.. not in a folder? | 12:45 |
| dBLOOD | hi, can anyone help me? | 12:45 |
| wdp | dBLOOD, hard to tell. | 12:45 |
| julia | hello guys, can you please help me? I try to build gnome shell with jhbuild build gnome-shell, but I don't know how I can fix the dependency for libicu | 12:45 |
| dBLOOD | I'm trying to mount an iso file, but I only get the message "no such file or directory" | 12:45 |
| em_ | tomreyn, sorry | 12:45 |
| Jordan_U | Ririshi: Once you actually have a complete XP installation that can be booted from, "sudo update-grub" will add an entry for it automatically. The reason it isn't adding one now is *because* you don't actually have a working XP installation to boot. | 12:45 |
| em_ | tomreyn, http://bastebin.com/BBsVG3ft | 12:45 |
| srhb | Ririshi: Right. | 12:45 |
| Jordan_U | dBLOOD: What command are you running? | 12:45 |
| em_ | tomreyn, http://bastebin.com/d3KDZjH9 | 12:45 |
| julia | I've already installed libicu-dev | 12:45 |
| dBLOOD | sudo mount -o loop /media/score/GAMES/ST/stcd1.iso /media/score/TEMP/stcd | 12:46 |
| dBLOOD | the iso file is present, also the directory is created | 12:46 |
| Ririshi | Jordan_U: I had windows xp installed and then booted into a LiveCD to reinstall grub using sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt and mounting /dev/pts /proc and /sys with --bind, then chrooting and updating and installing grub.. | 12:46 |
| em_ | tomreyn, sorry again | 12:47 |
| em_ | tomreyn, http://pastebin.com/BBsVG3ft | 12:47 |
| Ririshi | Jordan_U: so in fact i should place boot.ini back and then only do a update-grub? | 12:47 |
| em_ | tomreyn, http://pastebin.com/d3KDZjH9 | 12:47 |
| Ririshi | srhb: i did find a boot.ini.backup :D | 12:47 |
| srhb | Ririshi: Great, that's a start at least. Check it to see that the partition(n) match your actual table | 12:47 |
| Jordan_U | Ririshi: sda2 however *does* have both BCD and ntldr. Have you tried selecting the Windows 7 entry and seeing if it brings you to a Windows bootloader menu with options for both Windows 7 and XP? | 12:47 |
| Ririshi | Jordan_U: when choosing windows 7 in GRUB, it just starts windows 7 | 12:48 |
| coolball | can anyone recommend a news server? | 12:48 |
| srhb | Ririshi: You could also add the entry for WinXP to the Win7 boot.ini | 12:48 |
| Ririshi | Jordan_U: or should I press F8 or smth when starting? | 12:48 |
| Ririshi | srhb: and then? what would that do? | 12:49 |
| srhb | Ririshi: The Win7 bootloader would allow you to boot WinXP | 12:49 |
| Jordan_U | Ririshi: Try asking in ##windows. | 12:49 |
| Ririshi | srhb: so choosing win7 in grub and then press f8 or smth? | 12:49 |
| Ririshi | Jordan_U: okay | 12:49 |
| dBLOOD | when I try to mount it under /mnt or /tmp I get the same error | 12:50 |
| Jordan_U | dBLOOD: Please pastebin the output of "ls -ld /media/score/GAMES/ST/stcd1.iso /media/score/TEMP/stcd". | 12:50 |

| dBLOOD | kay | 12:51 |
| Ririshi | srhb: what is NTLDR? | 12:51 |
| tomreyn | em_: and free -m reports how much total? | 12:52 |
| srhb | Ririshi: The NT bootloader | 12:52 |
| Ririshi | srhb: you NEED both boot.ini and NTLDR? | 12:52 |
| srhb | Ririshi: Yes, without boot.ini NTLDR will try to load Windows from the first partition | 12:53 |
| em_ | tomreyn, total - 3021 | 12:53 |
| Ririshi | ah. so copying boot.ini.backup and naming it boot.ini and copying ntldr (both to root of sda4) would work? and then putting grub on sda4 to load it? | 12:53 |
| srhb | Ririshi: You dont want to put grub on sda4 | 12:54 |
| srhb | Ririshi: You need to restore those files along with ntdetect.com and make sure the boot.ini entry matches the right partition number, ie. 4 | 12:54 |
| Jordan_U | !pm | dBLOOD | 12:55 |
| ubottu | dBLOOD: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 12:55 |
| Jordan_U | dBLOOD: Clearly though your path to the iso is incorrect. Double check it (and remember that case matters). You can also drag the iso file from nautilus into the terminal and it will enter the path into the terminal. | 12:56 |
| tomreyn | em_: okay, then i don't really know, sorry :-/ you could reinstall and use x86_64 instead, but that's not much fun of course. | 12:56 |
| tomreyn | em_:surely your intel GPU uses shared RAM | 12:56 |
| tomreyn | but not that much | 12:56 |
| Ririshi | srhb: i mean putting grub up so it searches for stuff on sda4 | 12:57 |
| dBLOOD | okay, thx | 12:57 |
| em_ | tomreyn, it could use only 256 mb of ram | 12:57 |
| srhb | Ririshi: It is, the bootloader is missing from sda3 | 12:57 |
| Ririshi | srhb: so i need boot.ini and ntldr and ntdetect.com and make boot.ini to load from /dev/sda4? which would be partition(3) because it starts from 0 | 12:58 |
| srhb | Ririshi: Grub is doing nothing wrong, your XP bootloader is missing. | 12:58 |
| tomreyn | em_: right | 12:58 |
| Ririshi | srhb: sda3? I haven't got anything installed on sda3? | 12:58 |

| ChocPanda | Mine change my screen resolution to tiny and only show me one monitor | 12:59 |
| srhb | Ririshi: Also, I think partition() starts from 1. So it is the fourth one. | 12:59 |
| tomreyn | em_: what about it? | 13:00 |
| Ririshi | srhb: everything starts from 0 here, multi, disk, rdisk, partition.. | 13:00 |
| srhb | Ririshi: I'm fairly sure partition is the exception, but that's easy to test anyway. | 13:00 |
| Ririshi | srhb: yeah that's right. | 13:00 |
| em_ | tomreyn, maybe problem is in linux kernel ? | 13:01 |
| srhb | Ririshi: Not my fault that MS has horrible standards. :-) | 13:01 |
| Ririshi | I'll try it like it is now.. partition(3). I mean, the partitions didn't change after i installed windows xp.. | 13:01 |

| rrajbe | Hi, How can i create a virtual UDF File to share files between host and client in Virtualbox? | 14:16 |
| Kireji | just completed a dist0upgrade from 3.2.0-34-generic to 3.2.0-35-generic - and it requires a reboot to upgrade the kernel. where can I read the changes and decide if I ned to do these reboots? | 14:21 |
| srhb | Kireji: The kernel changelog. | 14:21 |
| Kireji | srhb: :) is that installed with the package? how can I find it? | 14:22 |
| Kireji | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/amd64/linux-image-3.2.0-35-generic/3.2.0-35.55 appears to be the relevant page, but no changelog | 14:23 |
| srhb | Kireji: Should be in /usr/share/doc/packagename/changelog | 14:23 |
| srhb | Kireji: Or something like that. Browse your way to it. :) | 14:23 |
| Kireji | ahhh it appears teh changelog is in the source packagehttps://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/3.2.0-35.55 | 14:24 |
| Kireji | found it | 14:24 |
| Kireji | ok so both of these 3.2.0-35.55 and 3.2.0-35.54 are titled "urgency=low" in the changelog. Why am I getting these as updates that require a dist-upgrade and a reboot? | 14:26 |
| Kireji | they are becoming *way* more frequent, and do not seem worth it | 14:26 |
| srhb | Kireji: Maybe you have some funky entries in your sources.list | 14:26 |
| === morsnowski is now known as _4off | ||
| Kireji | but when I use apt-get, I cannot determine which ones are "fix this or you'll be rooted" and which ones are "we fixed some race condition in ALSA" | 14:27 |
| srhb | Kireji: Like you did now, check the kernel changelog and decide for yourself. Why are you using dist-upgrade though? | 14:28 |
| Kireji | just this http://pastie.org/5568577 | 14:28 |
| Kireji | because the kernel packages get held back | 14:29 |
| Kireji | they don't install otherwise | 14:29 |
| Kireji | srhb: exactly, finding the log, reading and checking. the issue is now it happens every few weeks | 14:29 |
| Kireji | it's a waste of my time if the new kernel is not a serious hole to fix and it's definately affects our services to reboot 40 machines | 14:30 |
| MonkeyDust | Kireji can you not choose to *not* upgrade? or refuse unneeded kernel upgrades? | 14:31 |
| srhb | Kireji: I don't understand your complaint. Do you mean to say that you want the package system to decide whether or not a given kernel version is useful for you? | 14:31 |
| Kireji | MonkeyDust: the issue is within the Ubuntu system it's not easy/possible to figure out teh severity of kernel upgrades | 14:32 |
| srhb | Kireji: The changelog! | 14:32 |
| srhb | Kireji: It's right there in /usr/share/doc .. | 14:32 |
| Kireji | srhb: The changelog! is not included! | 14:33 |
| Kireji | or easy to find | 14:33 |
| srhb | You mean before the update? | 14:33 |
| Kireji | ideally, yes, but I'd take it even after | 14:33 |
| Kireji | because it also requires a reboot, which is the real issue | 14:33 |
| srhb | Kireji: I see the changelog on my system. | 14:33 |
| Kireji | all services stop | 14:33 |
| Kireji | where? | 14:34 |
| Kireji | "where can I read the changes and decide if I ned to do these reboots?" | 14:34 |

| MonkeyDust | srhb i'm curious myself, what is the filename for the kernel changes? | 14:39 |
| srhb | MonkeyDust: The package changelog includes the changes that were deemed important in the Launchpad tracking. | 14:41 |
| srhb | (I think.) | 14:41 |
| srhb | If you want all the upstream changes, you really do need to go to kernel.org - but that's information overload in most cases I think. | 14:42 |
| MonkeyDust | srhb yeah, but i mean the log file, this dude was looking for | 14:42 |
| MonkeyDust | ok | 14:42 |
| chadoh | tmux and irssi are not getting along for me. the scrolling is all off. When I PageUp, the top half of the page scrolls, and when I page down, the bottom half of the page scrolls.

| srhb | MonkeyDust: In /usr/local/doc/linux-image-[version]/changelog.Debian.gz you will find the package history. The upstream changes are logged as such | 14:46 |
| DerRidda | Legend of Grimrock crashed and sending the crashreport somehow involves whoopsie sending lots of data at over 100-150 kb/s. | 14:47 |

| someone235 | can someone help me with vsftpd? I don't know how to config this. | 14:54 |
| S`Husky | What about it in particular | 14:55 |
| S`Husky | There are loads of ways of configuring an FTP daemon | 14:55 |
| S`Husky | Do you just want it to use unix accounts or virtual accounts from a database etc | 14:55 |
| DerRidda | Again, does anyone here know a bit about whoopsie? | 14:55 |
| iceroot | !anyone | DerRidda | 14:56 |
| Vegetablesalad | I'm trying to install ubuntu server. I downloaded "ubuntu-12.04.1-server-amd64.iso" made usb start disk from it. | 14:56 |
| ubottu | DerRidda: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 14:56 |
| Vegetablesalad | In tutorial its said that I have to "Select 'basic server install' (after language selection)" , but I cant find that anywhere. Entire installation process is the same as regular desktop version, and it installs just that. | 14:56 |
| Vegetablesalad | What am I doing wrong? | 14:56 |
| someone235 | S`Husky , I just want it to work | 14:56 |
| iceroot | Vegetablesalad: the server version does not install a gui | 14:56 |
| someone235 | I've installed it by this tutorial: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/ftp-server.html . but I can't connect from my pc. | 14:56 |
| S`Husky | someone235: for starters, is the daemon running | 14:57 |
| S`Husky | verify by doing 'ps ax | grep vsftpd' from a shell | 14:57 |
| someone235 | yep it is | 14:57 |
| S`Husky | do you get an output with 'netstat -tapn | grep 21' | 14:58 |
| S`Husky | should be something like | 14:59 |
| S`Husky | tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:21 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 945/vsftpd | 14:59 |
| DerRidda | iceroot: I already asked the proper one but let's have it again: Legen of Grimrock crashed, I got prompted to send the usual crash report and now whoopsie is sending data at 130-150 kiB/s, hogging all my upload as if it was uploading all of the game including assets and I don't know what to do about it. | 14:59 |

| someone235 | S`Husky, ^^ | 14:59 |
| S`Husky | any firewall on the box? | 15:00 |
| someone235 | don't think so | 15:00 |
| someone235 | S`Husky, it says "Response:530 Login incorrect." | 15:01 |
| S`Husky | Oooh so its connecting | 15:01 |

| quince | A question not strictly about ubuntu, but about using it in typical home wifi environments: I want to ssh to my nexus 7 (running ubuntu) from my ubuntu laptop, using the same wifi network in both cases. That works fine on my home wifi network. My question is: is that likely to work on typical home wifi networks? Anybody know whether typical default routing & firewalling rules on home wifi routers are likely to stop th | 15:23 |
| quince | at working? | 15:23 |
| plut0 | any idea why mkinitramfs is failing in chroot? http://pastebin.com/NB8cQa1e | 15:24 |

| quince | (or 443) | 15:26 |
| theadmin | quince: Well, I can easily ssh from my phone to my computer on my home network or access other computers around (e.g. ssh l@192.168.1.111) | 15:27 |
| quince | theadmin: so can I, but my setup (hand-tweaked openwrt) is not exactly typical, and I suspect yours isn't either? | 15:27 |
| theadmin | quince: Hm, mine is more-or-less typical (dd-wrt), but I have no problems with another network at home that's quite typical (D-Link router with default firmware) | 15:28 |

| S`Husky | jodlajodla: That probably isnt an ubuntu issue. More hardware. | 15:34 |
| S`Husky | Are the heatsinks clogged with dirt? | 15:35 |
| quince | raven: how about running apt-cacher-ng on the other machine, then editing your /etc/apt/sources.list to point to that machine? | 15:35 |
| plut0 | any idea why mkinitramfs is failing in chroot? http://pastebin.com/NB8cQa1e | 15:35 |

| jodlajodla | S`Husky so you're saying this are normal temperatures and I don't have to worry about that? | 15:36 |
| MonkeyDust | raven in a terminal, type apt cache show apt-cacher-ng | 15:36 |

| marty | theadmin: it was from that page i was linked to my provided link | 15:39 |
| hikenboot | can anyone explain to me why when I add a tcp/ip sub interface to a newtwork card the system takes 10 mintues to boot getting beyound the networking? | 15:39 |
| jodlajodla | S`Husky i already installed fglrx-updates and it's a few degrees colder, but this is still hot -> is it possible that k10temp is showing wrong temperature? | 15:39 |
| hikenboot | s/beyound/beyond | 15:39 |
| S`Husky | its always a possibility. but I couldn't give you a definate yes or no on that one | 15:40 |

| marty | theadmin: hehe, np | 15:40 |
| someone235 | S`Husky, yes | 15:40 |

| hikenboot | /var/log/dmesg? | 15:40 |
| S`Husky | someone235: I had to ask because the log shows that you are using the username "root" to log into ftp | 15:40 |
| marty | theadmin: it works fine when using the sisimedia driver (mandriva/mageia) so this -is- possible. i just don't know how :( | 15:40 |
| S`Husky | Wouldn't recommend that at all tbh | 15:41 |
| quince | I usually sudo grep -rli /var/log ... | 15:41 |

| Syncsys_ | theadmin, got it. I can see it and when in browser. my webserver shows up a website that is runing on the linux machine. but I cant access files and folders that are shared in linux, from windows. why? | 15:41 |
| someone235 | S`Husky, yes, my mistake. Next time I'll try from another user | 15:41 |
| theadmin | Syncsys_: Not really familiar with samba so can't help you there | 15:42 |

| Vegetablesalad | I installed ubuntu server and now when I'm upgrading i see it downloads updates for libre office and gtk and a lot more gui software, why is that ? | 15:42 |
| Syncsys_ | theadmin, no problem | 15:42 |
| S`Husky | someone235: the root password is disabled in default installations of ubuntu | 15:42 |
| S`Husky | is one reason possibly | 15:42 |
| jodlajodla | S`Husky ok, because I think it is - max working temp for my processor is 90° C and lm-sensors is saying critical is 100° C? | 15:42 |
| fermulator | I have my root ubuntu parition @ /dev/mapper/isw_fegbaeadg_RAID0_SSD1. When I boot into Ubuntu 12.04 LIVECD, it for some reason auto-mounts that partition to /cdrom as read-only. So I force unmount it, but my ubuntu root partition is still "busy". (http://pastebin.com/NeaF8vrK) What can I do to fix this? (I need to mount it rw to repair grub). | 15:43 |
| S`Husky | jodlajodla: I'd keep an eye on it. | 15:43 |
| S`Husky | someone235: Failing that, please add this to your vsftpd config file. pam_service_name=vsftpd | 15:44 |
| someone235 | S`Husky, what it means? | 15:45 |
| S`Husky | apparantly its an issue people have had before | 15:45 |
| S`Husky | where vsftpd trys to use the ftpd service with pam | 15:45 |
| S`Husky | and fails | 15:45 |
| S`Husky | so specifing vsftpd has been shown to resolve the problem | 15:45 |

| Vegetablesalad | When installing ubuntu server from tutorial: | 15:48 |
| Vegetablesalad | 1)At the boot prompt you will be asked to select the language. 2)Select 'basic server install'. | 15:48 |
| Vegetablesalad | I didn't have this option, It was regular GUI install screen as with ubuntu desktop. | 15:48 |
| theadmin | Vegetablesalad: ...Then you're not installing Ubuntu Server. | 15:48 |
| theadmin | Vegetablesalad: You have a wrong image | 15:48 |
| quince | hikenboot: just a wild guess -- is it configured to dhcp on the sub interface? (in /etc/network/interfaces) is it failing to do that? If that seems likely you can try running sudo dhclient <interface name> to reproduce the problem | 15:48 |

| S`Husky | Vegetablesalad: the ISO should be called ubuntu-12.10-server-amd64.iso when you download it | 15:49 |
| hikenboot | no its configured with a static address..but let me double check I do see one message here pci 0000:00:18:5 BAR 13 can't assign io (size 0x1000) | 15:49 |
| S`Husky | or that | 15:49 |
| Vegetablesalad | from usb flash | 15:49 |

| jaime | no flashplugin-installer hasnt worked neither | 15:51 |
| theadmin | Odd. The server images simply don't *have* a graphical installer | 15:51 |
| rdw200169 | theadmin: they won't. its pretty much a rule that you don't install a graphical environment on a server | 15:52 |
| theadmin | rdw200169: I was talking to Vegetablesalad, who claims that updating a server install pulls in a GUI, and that the installer is graphical. | 15:52 |
| theadmin | rdw200169: I do have common sense ;) | 15:52 |
| Vegetablesalad | theadmin: I how do check it ? | 15:53 |
| rdw200169 | theadmin: fair enough ;) | 15:53 |
| theadmin | Vegetablesalad: Well, on Linux, md5sum /path/to/ubuntu-12.04.1-server-amd64.iso | 15:53 |
| Vegetablesalad | i have file "md5sum.txt" on iso - it's full of md5 for folders, but where is global ? | 15:53 |

| hikenboot | I am getting lots of messages in dmesg that say apparmor="STATUS" is that normal | 15:56 |

| quince | strontium: probably the answer is in the logs somewhere. Any luck there? | 16:00 |
| theadmin | Vegetablesalad: Happens. | 16:00 |
| strontium | quince, nope neither udev nor dmesg say anything, except they are "down" no reason why. | 16:01 |
| quince | how are you adding the sub interface? | 16:01 |
| strontium | quince, I don't know what you mean by sub interface | 16:02 |
| quince | strontium: maybe post your dmesg and see if somebody else can spot something out of the ordinary | 16:02 |

| konam | quince do you have the same issue? that package appears as installed on synaptic | 16:07 |
| quince | konam: erm, I'm actually on 12.04, and no | 16:07 |
| quince | didn't notice you said 12.10 | 16:07 |
| red_Rudy | Hi everybody ! | 16:09 |
| quince | konam: if it's youtube you're after you could always try enabling their HTML5 trial (google it) | 16:09 |
| === ddee is now known as _dd | ||
| konam | quince is not because of youtube since it does use html5 automatically if it doesn't find a suitable flash plugin | 16:09 |
| quince | konam: last I heard Adobe stopped supporting flash on linux, so it may rot | 16:09 |
| Treadstone__71 | Anyone? | 16:09 |
| quince | konam: so perhaps it believes it has found one, but that plugin does not work | 16:10 |
| konam | which is part of the problem, since it goes to the html5 version even with flash "installed" | 16:10 |
| quince | konam: it is possible to ask youtube to try html5 first, and ignore flash unless it html5 wouldn't work for a particular video | 16:10 |
| theadmin | quince: Mozilla and Google are developing their own Flash implementations so even if it will "rot" nobody will ever notice anything | 16:10 |
| theadmin | quince: Well, unless you use Opera | 16:10 |
| quince | theadmin: oh, cool (er, I think... maybe I'd prefer it to rot :-) | 16:11 |
| quince | konam: ah. How did you verify that that's what it's doing? | 16:12 |
| thinker_ | have people | 16:13 |
| hikenboot | interesting enough i also found this messgae ADDRCONF (NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready...dont get this when the sub interface isnt attached | 16:13 |
| quince | konam: maybe sudo dpkg-reconfigure flashplugin-installer from command line and see if it prints something informative? | 16:13 |
| hikenboot | it says somthing about IPv6 | 16:13 |
| hikenboot | should i some how try and remove IP6 | 16:13 |

| bmease | I'm getting 10 second freezes every minute or two when i ssh into one of my boxes, any suggestions on how to track down what the problem is? | 16:19 |
| quince | hikenboot: sorry if this is obvious: if that doesn't work, remember to look at the dmesg timestamps to see where it stops doing much for a long time | 16:19 |
| dwatkins | bmease: I got that as a result of the caching of the bash command suggestions, I think there's a bug open for it | 16:19 |
| bmease | dwatkins: thanks i'll search for it | 16:20 |

| bmease | quince: thanks, just gave it a go and that will help. | 16:25 |
| lws | XBMC can play audio, but nothing else seems to be able to -- and I have no audio preferences. | 16:25 |
| question12345 | somebody here? | 16:25 |
| quince | Naeblis: is this just default configuration, or have you configured pulse at all? | 16:26 |
| quince | question12345: just ask | 16:26 |
| Naeblis | quince, not sure? I'm using alsa... | 16:26 |
| lws | anybody know what the proper package is for sound config? Some update must have removed it. | 16:27 |

| bekks | question12345: It is your decision which Ubuntu you want to use. | 16:32 |
| question12345 | better 12.10 or 12.04? :) | 16:32 |

| bekks | !lts | question12345 | 16:33 |
| ThinkT510 | question12345: 12.04 longer support, 12.10 more recent apps | 16:33 |
| ubottu | question12345: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) | 16:33 |
| question12345 | well i don't want to upgrade every 6 months!!!!! | 16:33 |
| lws | quince: Any other ideas? Audio is working, XBMC can play. Everything else is not working though :/ | 16:33 |
| quince | wrq6152: oops -- meant to strip that off, sorry (I have an old filesystem mounted there, locate turned that up) | 16:33 |
| bekks | question12345: Then dont do it, use LTS instead. | 16:33 |
| lws | quince: Also, all my sound preferences have disappeared. | 16:33 |

| dylan | So I want to start ubuntu without starting X,but still be able to log into my acc, how do I do this? | 16:34 |
| dylan | or alternatively, how do I kill X whil logged in | 16:34 |
| ThinkT510 | question12345: try both see what you like | 16:34 |
| dylan | I just want a CLI | 16:34 |
| bekks | question12345: Please take a look at 12.04 before :P | 16:34 |
| konam | quince dpkg reconfigure asks me for the location of the flash plugin, i don't know if it always asks for it but it seems that it doesn't recognize the plugin as being installed, even though the browser does (even if the video doesn't ever play, it does show to be using the plugin right clicking on it) | 16:34 |
| plut0 | any idea why i'm getting this error inside a chroot? http://pastebin.com/RatMpU3G | 16:34 |
| question12345 | bekks: ThinkT510 i heard gnome 3 in ubuntu is NOT as good as it could be | 16:34 |
| quince | lws: so aplay works, right? | 16:34 |
| ThinkT510 | question12345: i don't use gnome3 | 16:35 |
| question12345 | ThinkT510: what you use??? | 16:35 |
| dylan | So I want to start ubuntu without starting X,but still be able to log into my acc, how do I do this? | 16:35 |
| bekks | question12345: I dont care what other people hear. Take a look at 12.04, then try the desktop environments you want to try, ,and then choose the one you want to use. | 16:35 |
| ThinkT510 | question12345: unity, but xfce is my favourite | 16:35 |

| red_Rudy | Hi everybody (again)! | 16:38 |
| dylan | mrpink57: how do I go about doing that? | 16:38 |
| lws | quince: No, aplay does not work. | 16:38 |
| quince | Naeblis: as a workaround, you could try pkill pulseaudio | 16:39 |
| question12345 | bekks: ThinkT510 i'll try Xubuntu 12.04 it has 3 years!!!!!!!!! | 16:39 |
| sheikhmak | hey guys I have a conceptual conception, i'm trying to setup x11vnc over ssh tunnel | 16:39 |
| mrpink57 | dylan: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1904347 start there and work forward. honestly if you're green on doing this it won't be easy as it goes | 16:39 |
| sheikhmak | the host that runs the ssh server and vnc servers, I wanted to know if I could keep the vnc port shut and it will still work ? | 16:39 |
| sheikhmak | *shit conceptual question lol | 16:40 |
| Naeblis | quince, don't have pulseaudio installed, so that won't work, I think | 16:40 |
| lws | quince: My card shows up in HDA-intel, but in pulseaudio volume control it only shows the dummy output. | 16:40 |
| compdoc | sheikhmak, shut on the server, or shut on the firewall? | 16:40 |
| quince | sheikhmak: why would it work? Have you looked at sshuttle? | 16:40 |
| sheikhmak | compdoc, on the firewall, I'm trying to understand if ssh tunneling means, only the ssh port could remain open | 16:41 |
| bekks | question12345: Dont use punctuation signs that excessively. They do NOT attract people, they annoy people. | 16:41 |
| compdoc | sheikhmak, long ago I started using a vpn to admin my customer's servers. No ports have to be open in the firewall for ssh or vnc | 16:42 |
| compdoc | but you got the concept right | 16:42 |
| dylan | mrpink57: That works, but I can't do what I need to do | 16:44 |
| bekks | dylan: Then tell us what you really want to do? | 16:45 |
| dylan | I'm trying to run a CLI program with mono. I tried to run it in the root shell prompt, but it just displayed some version info | 16:45 |
| sheikhmak | compdoc, I've shut all the ports on my ubuntu host, I only open a random port that I run ssh off. For security I used to use x11vnc with certificates, but that solution i couldn't find an android client that will achieve that. so I decided to use ssh tunneling. And I'm trying to figure out, obviously the ssh port have to be opened, but i'm trying to see if the vnc's port gotta be open as well, if it does, defeats my original purp | 16:45 |
| sheikhmak | ose | 16:45 |
| bekks | dylan: Do NOT run applications as root unless knowing what you are doing there very well. | 16:45 |
| dylan | bekks: I'm well aware of that | 16:46 |
| compdoc | sheikhmak, not with a tunnel. But other than a vpn, Ive never used a tunnel | 16:46 |

| Krenair | The buttons disappear from the bar at the top and follow the window title bar | 16:48 |
| Krenair | I don't mind them being on the title bar, but they should stay on the bar at the top as well | 16:49 |

| lws | quince: I don't know what happened, my audio was working fine. *grumble* | 16:52 |
| quince | lws: the alsa irc people have a script called alsa-info.sh (google it) which might be helpful | 16:53 |

| tcafmi | I have changed my hostname, since then I get the message "xxx is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported." . how can I change the /etc/sudoers file? | 16:53 |
| lws | quince: Sat down to play my keyboard this morning, and it was broken | 16:53 |
| quince | lws: in my experience, alsa is like that :-( | 16:53 |
| lws | quince: In my experience, linux is like that. I switched from gentoo to ubuntu because every time I went to use my machine on the weekends something new was unexpectedly broken. :/ | 16:53 |
| quince | lws: actually that's not quite fair -- it doesn't break for me unless I change something. But it usually seems sound doesn't work on a clean install, for me (apparently I'm unusual in that, though...) | 16:54 |
| hikenboot | is there a way to get the screen loging on boot to show a time stamp | 16:54 |
| lws | I though fsck.ext4 was supposed to run really quickly? | 16:54 |
| quince | lws: well, that's not unexpected with gentoo, but it would be unexpected with ubuntu, IME | 16:54 |

| lws | quince: yeah, gentoo is not for someone who doesn't want to manually edit config files every time they run an update. | 16:55 |

| frenzy | Today my OCZ boot disk said byebye. I am reinstalling from scratch however next time i'd like to have a BMR solution. Provided that i do not care about restoring single files and my root filesystem is small (5gb) is there any super easy solution without a gui? I could go in single user and DD /dev/sda1 to a file, that would be enough, but id like to have something be able to run via cron | 17:10 |
| ikonia | frenzy: it's that simple | 17:10 |
| frenzy | ah, and, p.s. i am not using LVM | 17:10 |
| frenzy | just ext4 on sda1 | 17:11 |
| ikonia | still that simple | 17:11 |
| ikonia | frenzy: may want to back up the MBR too | 17:11 |
| frenzy | ikonia: no, let's say i do not care about the mbr, i can reinstall grub if the ssd dies, i just want a copy of the o.s. | 17:11 |
| frenzy | i have a local (non ssd) disk where i can store the copy | 17:12 |
| ikonia | frenzy: do that then | 17:13 |
| ikonia | frenzy: remember your uuid refernece may change | 17:13 |
| ikonia | so you'll have to adjust that potentiallyu | 17:13 |
| frenzy | do what? | 17:13 |
| ikonia | change any reference to UUID's | 17:13 |
| frenzy | i am not referencing the uuid :) | 17:13 |
| ikonia | (post restore) | 17:13 |
| ikonia | frenzy: you are, they will be referenced by grub, by your fstab etc | 17:14 |
| frenzy | ok, but how do i backup online ?? i cannot just "DD" the disk while mounted rw | 17:14 |
| llutz | frenzy: daily-cronjob syncing / onto 2nd drive, mounted at /mnt for this: "rsync -Haurx --delete-after --exclude="/etc/fstab" --exclude="/etc/mtab" --exclude="/boot/grub/grub.cfg" / /mnt/ " | 17:14 |
| ikonia | frenzy: yes, dd it while mounted | 17:14 |
| ikonia | (just the partition) | 17:14 |
| ikonia | it's better to do it offline, however it can be doneonline | 17:14 |
| ikonia | done online | 17:14 |
| frenzy | well, no, unless ext4 has some sort of snap functionality, if fs is synced in the meanwhile i might end up with a corrupted image | 17:15 |
| ikonia | frenzy: it has no such thing | 17:15 |
| ikonia | and you won't end up with a corrupted image | 17:15 |
| ikonia | your only risk is inflight files such as log files | 17:15 |
| ikonia | which I'm assuming you'd have no issue zeroing | 17:15 |
| ikonia | or living without a line or two | 17:16 |
| g_byers | brb | 17:16 |
| frenzy | i usually mount /var/log in ramfs, so that's easy | 17:16 |
| frenzy | llutz: like your approach but id like a "huge" single file, faster to restore | 17:16 |
| llutz | frenzy: but my 2nd drive runs while the orig ssd died :) | 17:17 |
| frenzy | ikonia: however i am not really sure it will work, "dd" is not a snapshot, it might take 20 minutes to do the copy, did you tried this in the past? | 17:17 |
| ikonia | frenzy: it will take 20 minutes...it's not a snapshot, it's block by block copy of the device | 17:18 |
| jayar | i'm getting constant failure errors and 'bug reporting' events from smbd | 17:18 |
| frenzy | ikonia: exactly, in 20 minutes everything could change inside an fs structure, the resulting image might be just garbage | 17:18 |

| \\Mr_C\\ | when i make a script for console with nano editor, how do i make it so i dont have to type ./ before the scriptname? | 17:20 |
| ikonia | frenzy: either a.) take the system down b.) use an online backup such as rsync c.) accept the limitations of dd'ing an online partition d.) purchase an enterprise backup application | 17:20 |
| frenzy | frenzy: yes, but if i am not sure about the copy then i prefer llutz approach which is 100% safe | 17:20 |
| theadmin | \\Mr_C\\: You can put it to any directory in your $PATH, e.g. ~/bin or /usr/local/bin | 17:20 |

| frenzy | ikonia: it would be nice to have snapshots in ext4, dreaming zfs on boot | 17:21 |
| auronandace | Echelon_I247: make sure you do it outside a channel | 17:21 |
| llutz | frenzy: easy, use solaris | 17:21 |
| theadmin | \\Mr_C\\: Well, you either put it to a folder in your $PATH or use the full path to it (. is just a shortcut to "current directory") | 17:21 |
| ikonia | frenzy: you don't have snapshots in ext4 - so it's pointless wishing for it | 17:22 |
| ikonia | frenzy: work a solution with what you do have | 17:22 |
| BluesKaj | Echelon_I247, in the server textbox on your irc client | 17:22 |
| Echelon_I247 | BluesKaj: thankx.. :) | 17:22 |
| frenzy | llutz: ehehe, i have too many at work already :) | 17:22 |
| llutz | frenzy: well, then what ikonia wrote | 17:22 |
| frenzy | ikonia: i think best approach is doing both, weekly DD "live" and rsync, daily | 17:22 |
| ikonia | frenzy: that seems like a massive waste, but it's up to you | 17:23 |
| srhb | dd live? What will that accomplish? | 17:23 |
| frenzy | ikonia: i have a 3tb drive and OS will probably use less than 2GB | 17:23 |
| ikonia | frenzy: it is still a massive waste of time and effort | 17:23 |
| ikonia | frenzy: but it is yours to waste | 17:24 |
| frenzy | ikonia: believe me, reinstalling from scratch worth 100 times that setup | 17:24 |
| jayar | anyone else having issues with smbd? | 17:24 |
| Syncsys__ | clueless problem . tring to share files in windows and linux. works ok in a wifi router connected to a dsl. slow thought but ok. when i try to make a hotspot between the computers or use wires with a seperate switch. either i cant see share folders. (i can ping each other and even see a webpage runing on linux machine) and some times when i do see folders and try to copy files that are large. it breads down in middle and th | 17:24 |
| frenzy | a dd and an rsync on cron is a 10 mins setup, its just space | 17:24 |
| Syncsys__ | e folders disappear again. | 17:24 |
| theadmin | jayar: That's not a question. "issues" can be anything from "it's giving some error" to "it's making my hard drive create fish and eat cats" | 17:24 |
| ikonia | frenzy: it's yours to waste. | 17:25 |
| llutz | frenzy: reinstalling is easy, just backup your stuff from /etc, $HOME, some parts of /var and a list of isntalled packages. | 17:25 |
| jayar | constant "has caused an error" alerts | 17:25 |
| === Teufelchen_ is now known as Teufelchen | ||
| jayar | i guess smbd is creashing or something, and ubuntu wants me to report bugs... and its constant. and annoying | 17:26 |
| Echelon_I247 | can i know how to run scripts and applications which are other than .deb | 17:26 |
| frenzy | llutz: yes, next time, now i have nothing, i lost my last "dd" image a couple of months ago and the ssd drive today, forgot to create one in the middle :) | 17:26 |
| yeats | jayar: you can just check "Ignore future crashes of this type" | 17:26 |
| frenzy | anyway thanks ikonia/llutz for the tips :) | 17:27 |
| yeats | jayar: and make sure you've kept up with updates | 17:27 |
| mrpink57 | Echelon_I247: you can build from source | 17:27 |
| jayar | well yea, but i'd rather know what the problem is. i guess i'm asking if anyone is aware of the issue and if they just grin and bare it too, is it a known bug, is there an alternative... blah blah blah | 17:27 |
| mrpink57 | Echelon_I247: i am sure there are programs or ways to say convert a rpm to deb but i care not to | 17:28 |
| jayar | i didnt form it in a question, thought you guys could just spidey sense that stuff... my bad | 17:28 |
| Echelon_I247 | Especially i don't know how to run .tar files I am newbie to linux.. :( | 17:28 |
| MonkeyDust | jayar is this helpful? http://ubuntuguide.net/disable-apport-error-reporting-in-ubuntu-12-10 | 17:28 |
| Echelon_I247 | mrpink57: Especially i don't know how to run .tar files I am newbie to linux.. :( | 17:29 |
| jayar | sure, that tells me how to stop it from telling me that its broken. i'd like to know how to fix it. | 17:29 |
| srhb | jayar: You will have to provide log information in order to make any progress with that. :) | 17:29 |
| mrpink57 | Echelon_I247: i would suggest you start googling for this info, there is a lot of it out there. Just put ubuntu at the end of your searches | 17:29 |
| konam | MonkeyDust i didn't know that thanks | 17:29 |
| konam | apport sure gets on my nerves | 17:29 |
| jayar | srhb: now we're gettin somewhere | 17:29 |
| yeats | jayar: /var/log/apport.log | 17:30 |
| konam | new users will surely get a bad impression from it | 17:30 |
| jayar | i've reported the bug for months now, attached is my log info /var/log/apport.log | 17:30 |
| konam | "everything keeps crashing on ubuntu.." | 17:30 |
| Echelon_I247 | mrpink57: k thank you though, i'll go through that.. | 17:30 |
| jayar | and i apt-get update/upgrade weekly... so maybe it hasn't been resolved | 17:30 |
| srhb | jayar: Paste the contents of the log file to a pastebin so we can see it. | 17:31 |
| jayar | and instead of waiting for a forum reply (cuz im a spoiled american that demands answers immediately) i came here ;-p | 17:31 |
| jayar | k | 17:31 |
| yeats | jayar: if you ask your questions correctly in the forums, you should get quick answers IMHO | 17:32 |
| MonkeyDust | jayar "if everything else fails, join #ubuntu" ;-) | 17:32 |
| konam | MonkeyDust i usually do it the other way around, even though the forums users respond fairly quickly | 17:33 |
| yeats | jayar: unsolicited, I know, but this is probably worth reading if you have trouble getting good support: http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html | 17:34 |
| jayar | http://pastebin.com/yJ28fRPm | 17:34 |
| jayar | lol @ MonkeyDust | 17:34 |
| jayar | i dunno, i've been on IRC since '97 so i'm used to just comin on and askin questions... never really been a forum guy unless theres not an irc channel for it | 17:35 |
| ikonia | jayar: have you looked in the logs | 17:35 |
| ikonia | the dbus warning is also useful | 17:36 |

| max999 | hi all | 17:43 |
| max999 | what does :(){ :|: & };: do in terminal? | 17:43 |
| theadmin | !danger | 17:43 |
| ubottu | DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND! That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! | 17:43 |
| theadmin | max999: That's a forkbomb. Doesn't do anything horrible, just hangs your system after a while forcing you into a hard reset | 17:43 |
| _cb | Not sure this is the right place. If not please point me in the right direction. I understand that one can have multiple domains on a server and I know each domain has it's own folder. I don't understand how the name resolution works to point Domain A to folder A and Domain B to folder B | 17:44 |
| jayar | vhosts | 17:45 |
| llutz | _cb: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/examples.html | 17:45 |
| _cb | It was the right place to ask after all. Thanks ! | 17:45 |
| theadmin | _cb: Well, the better place would've been #httpd | 17:46 |
| bjrohan | I had been trying to set up an rsync job (using ssh) in cron to run automatically. I can run the job via command line just fine, however in cron it says permission denied in the error output, can anyone help me? | 17:46 |
| _cb | the admin I will head in that direction. Thanks | 17:47 |
| MonkeyDust | bjrohan try sudo crontab -e , the cron job then executes as if it were with sudo | 17:47 |
| icantdrive55 | hows it goin everybody | 17:47 |
| bjrohan | MonkeyDust: will try, thanks | 17:47 |
| Knuckle | hello all, I'm running ubuntu gnome remix 12.10.1, and since updating my kernel a few days ago I haven't been able to get the proprietary nvidia drivers working | 17:48 |
| icantdrive55 | anyone in here know the best linux irc chat room in general. tryin to ask someone who knows about slitaz however slitaz support irc SUCKS | 17:48 |
| MonkeyDust | bjrohan mind: the cron job then belongs to 'root' | 17:48 |
| bjrohan | MonkeyDust: From what I can tell though that won't work. The issue seems to be that it can not log into the remote computer | 17:48 |
| llutz | bjrohan: what error? | 17:48 |
| jayar | icantdrive55: i like xchat | 17:49 |
| Knuckle | I can install them, run sudo nvidia-xconfig, but after rebooting gnome 3 refuses to start, reverting me to a gnome 2 desktop with horrible resolution until I switch back to the open source drivers and reboot | 17:49 |
| jayar | oh wait n/m lol | 17:49 |
| auronandace | icantdrive55: ##linux | 17:49 |
| bjrohan | MonkeyDust: It isn't that the job won't run, it is running because it prints out the error log that I specify, so the job runs, the problem is, it can't log into the other computer using ssh from what I can tell. I have ssh set to log into that destintation computer via rsa key | 17:49 |
| DJones | !alis | icantdrive55 | 17:49 |
| bjrohan | Here is the line I am trying to run MonkeyDust:rsync -vaz --exclude 'Dropbox' --delete-before --force -e ssh /home/bjrohan/ brohan@192.168.0.2:/media/BACKUP/HP_Laptop > $HOME/rsync.$(date +\%F).log 2> $HOME/rsync.$(date +\%F).err | 17:49 |
| ubottu | icantdrive55: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 17:49 |
| xangua | Knuckle: tried the previous kernel¿ | 17:49 |
| Knuckle | xangua: how do I do that? | 17:49 |
| MonkeyDust | bjrohan ok, I had that too, i resolved it by creating a ssh key, to bypass the remote password | 17:49 |
| bjrohan | MonkeyDust: If I run that line from commande line, all goes well | 17:49 |
| xangua | Knuckle: hold Shift when you turn on the pc, the grub menu should show and you can select the previous kernel wich worked with your nvidia | 17:50 |
| bjrohan | MonkeyDust: I have an rsa key installed that works. in command line if I type ssh brohan@192.168.0.2 it logs me in just fine, no asking for a password b/c the rsa is working | 17:50 |
| bjrohan | MonkeyDust: apparently it isn't working okay in the cron | 17:50 |
| MonkeyDust | bjrohan that's odd | 17:50 |
| Knuckle | xangua: ubuntu gnome remix has a slightly different bootscreen | 17:50 |
| Knuckle | it only shows one option to boot into ubuntu | 17:50 |
| Knuckle | er, not bootscreen, grub config | 17:51 |
| icantdrive55 | sorry to all above that replied... ran out of room and thanks | 17:51 |
| xangua | Knuckle: as i said, hold Shift when you turn on the pc | 17:51 |
| Knuckle | hm, alright, I'll give that a try | 17:51 |
| Knuckle | bbl | 17:51 |
| Echelon_I247 | ciao guys thanx for ur help guys. | 17:51 |
| chadoh | alright. scrolling in irssi is broken for me when using tmux within my ubuntu ec2 vm or my local mac. but scrolling in irssi works fine in screen. But I don't want to use screen, I want to use tmux harrumph. | 17:52 |
| theadmin | chadoh: scrolling how? Mouse wheel may not work, but pageup/pagedown should. | 17:53 |
| chadoh | theadmin: the mac keyboard maps fn + up/down arrows to Page Up/Down. I'm using that. | 17:54 |
| chadoh | Never the mouse. NEVER THE MOUSE! @theadmin | 17:54 |
| mashbro | hi | 17:55 |
| theadmin | chadoh: Hm, I see. Odd... It shoulda work, not sure | 17:55 |
| mashbro | how can I set up a LAMP server with PHP and mySQL? I'm on Ubuntu 11.04 | 17:56 |
| llutz | !lamp | mashbro | 17:56 |
| ubottu | mashbro: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process. | 17:56 |
| kermit_ | just google lamp | 17:56 |
| theadmin | mashbro: The answer is you can't. 11.04 is not supported. | 17:57 |
| chadoh | theadmin: yeah, I'm not sure what's up. When I PageUp, only the top half of irssi scrolls up. When I PageDown, only the bottom half scrolls. And new messages do not show up unless I PageUp then PageDown. Again, only in tmux. Screen (which I'm using now but not used to) is working fine. No multiplexer works fine. | 17:57 |
| mashbro | I'm getting, Unable to install taskel | 17:57 |
| mashbro | theadmin: any idea why? | 17:58 |
| ThinkT510 | mashbro: 11.04 is no longer supported | 17:58 |
| llutz | !eol | mashbro | 17:58 |
| ubottu | mashbro: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 17:58 |
| theadmin | mashbro: Because 11.04 is EOL. Repos were killed off. | 17:58 |
| mashbro | Ok. | 17:58 |
| mashbro | so I will need to upgrade to the latest version right? | 17:59 |
| Linpassion | hi | 17:59 |
| mashbro | Linpassion: hey | 17:59 |
| yeats | mashbro: probably a fresh install at this point, but yes - I'd recommend 12.04 | 17:59 |
| mashbro | yeats: why not 12.10? | 18:00 |
| yeats | mashbro: because 12.04 is an LTS release and will be good for 5 years | 18:00 |
| mashbro | yeats, okay | 18:00 |
| yeats | well, 4 1/2 at this point ;-) | 18:00 |
| mashbro | how can I upgrade to 12.04 via terminal? | 18:00 |
| Linpassion | hi yeats | 18:01 |
| yeats | mashbro: not sure you can - you might need to back up your files and reinstall | 18:01 |
| yeats | Linpassion: hi? | 18:01 |
| theadmin | mashbro: You can't upgrade to 12.04 directly, would have to go through 11.10 | 18:01 |
| mashbro | oops. | 18:02 |
| Linpassion | yeats you know how to change the purple screen on ubuntu 12.02 ? | 18:02 |
| yeats | Linpassion: can you provide more details about what you're asking? and which release? (there is no 12.02) | 18:03 |
| Linpassion | Ubuntu 12.02 LTS Destkop. When boot start up appera a purple screen,. i want to change it ore remove it to se the dmesg oputput like Slackware | 18:04 |
| zipace | Linpassion: you'll have to edit /etc/default/grub (and then run 'sudo update-grub') | 18:08 |
| Linpassion | ok, wath row i m'ust comment/uncomment? | 18:09 |
| ronmalloy | Hello all! | 18:09 |
| zipace | Linpassion: remove "quiet splash" from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT and GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX, then run 'sudo update-grub' | 18:09 |
| ronmalloy | Can anyone direct me to the howto for laptop config, specifically, using it with lid closed and HDMI out to external screen? | 18:11 |
| Linpassion | to edit grup? lilo was too easy! | 18:11 |
| zipace | Linpassion: just use any program to edit it, such as vim, emacs, gedit, kwrite, leafpad... whatever fits your bill | 18:13 |
| zipace | remember that you need superuser rights in order to edit it, due to being UID 0 | 18:13 |
| Linpassion | pardon, to edit group which command | 18:17 |

| Knuckle | xangua: well I managed to figure it out | 18:30 |
| nabn | it says i have broken packages and/or unmet dependencies | 18:31 |
| nabn | what does that mean? | 18:31 |
| theadmin | nabn: sudo apt-get install gcc gives you that? | 18:31 |

| Areckx | which package worked for 10.04? | 18:38 |
| Areckx | and also, have you considered reinstalling 10.04? | 18:38 |
| csemple | Areckx, I never had to install a package to get the sd card reader working | 18:40 |
| csemple | as far as I know | 18:40 |
| Tech-1 | do your thumb drives work ? | 18:40 |
| Areckx | csemple:: That means that it is using firmware | 18:40 |
| csemple | hey Tech-1 | 18:40 |
| Areckx | you may need to use a different firmware on 12.04 for it to work | 18:41 |
| csemple | lemme check a thumb drive one sec | 18:41 |
| Areckx | besides the one that is packaged with your sd card reader | 18:41 |
| Tech-1 | i have a eee also, and i havent put 12 on it yet, just wondering | 18:41 |
| Areckx | if that makes any sense | 18:41 |

| csemple | http://pastebin.com/uvshWWeV | 18:41 |
| Areckx | Tech-1 as well as any others with that card reader may benefit from you figuring out how to run it on 10.04 | 18:42 |

| Tech-1 | try it | 18:46 |
| yeats | !ppa-purge | ofcan | 18:46 |
| ubottu | ofcan: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 18:46 |

| csemple | I just thought of something, yeats Tech-1 I may have installed the 64 bit version of ubuntu to this machine, and I can probably get away with just the 32 bit version (only 1gb ram on it) | 18:54 |
| yeats | ofcan: this is a pretty thorough guide to this kind of thing - I would step through it before trying anything else: http://askubuntu.com/a/142808 | 18:54 |
| csemple | how do I check if this is a 64 bit install or a 32 bit os ? | 18:54 |
| Tech-1 | ya, stick with the 32 bit | 18:54 |
| yeats | csemple: uname -a | 18:54 |
| Tech-1 | i was gonna ask you that | 18:54 |
| yeats | csemple: that shouldn't matter for your issue though IMHO | 18:55 |

| csemple | 64 bit ? ^ | 18:55 |
| yeats | csemple: that's 32 bit | 18:55 |
| csemple | yeats, oh k | 18:55 |

| Greg8823 | Hello I am running an emachine desktop with 12.04 64x it is fully updated and i have gone though the sound trouble shooting on help.ubuntu.com and still have no working sound. any help would be appreciated. it recognizes my sound card and both sound ports when i use the aplay -l command. i have also uninstalled and reinstalled the offical ubuntu ones. | 18:58 |

| alimj | Hello everyone. I would require a Download Manager similar to FreeDownLoadManager (Win32) or getright. But I like it to be GPL, daemonizable, With Web interface Control. I do not require torrent (already have transmission-daemon). Any suggestion? | 18:58 |
| unXddse | Has anyone an idea how to relocate the same package twice in mavneß | 18:59 |
| yeats | csemple: have you tried running a live CD to see if the SD card reader works then? the google is indicating a hardware issue when those "device descriptor read/64, error -71" messages are present | 18:59 |
| ofcan | yeats: I followed instructions from exactly that guide! I still get the same error. I removed postgres ppa and installed ppa-purge with that 'mkdir ppa...' command. | 19:00 |
| csemple | yeats, interesting I've tried these sd cards and usb sticks in another machine, and they work fine I will double check, and I will check if it works on a live-cd also, | 19:00 |
| ikonia | ofcan: maybe stop asking in two channels with conflicting information and focus on one solution to the end | 19:01 |
| cliftonts | evening all. Anybody have any idea why the python command 'from serial.tools import list_ports' is producing the error 'ImportError: No module named tools'? | 19:01 |
| yeats | cliftonts: you should ask in #python | 19:02 |
| cliftonts | I can't, it kicks me out into a room that rejects my messages | 19:02 |
| knxville | cliftonts, register to netserv | 19:02 |
| ikonia | cliftonts: you need to register | 19:03 |
| ikonia | !register > cliftonts | 19:03 |
| ubottu | cliftonts, please see my private message | 19:03 |
| knxville | nickserv | 19:03 |
| ikonia | cliftonts: ubottu has just sent you a pm detailing how to register, also the #freenode channel can help you | 19:03 |
| cliftonts | I'm getting a headache fast. Is there no way to find out the answer to a simple question without filling out forms in triplicate? | 19:03 |
| srhb | cliftonts: Registering is fairly easy. | 19:03 |
| csemple | yeats, ok fyi the card works perfect in my other machine | 19:04 |
| csemple | let me try a live cd now | 19:04 |
| ikonia | cliftonts: no | 19:04 |
| cliftonts | I've just spent an hour banging my head against the screen, picking my nose would be a challenge right now! | 19:04 |
| yeats | csemple: then I would suspect the SD slot has a problem | 19:04 |
| ikonia | cliftonts: log off and approach it later when you are feeling better | 19:04 |
| cliftonts | not going to happen | 19:04 |
| ikonia | cliftonts: then you're a bit stuck, sorry | 19:05 |
| knxville | cliftonts, im no python expert at all.. | 19:05 |
| knxville | but have you tried serial.tools.list_ports | 19:05 |
| cliftonts | As far as I can tell everything is installed correctly | 19:05 |
| csemple | yeats, well before I recently (2 weeks ago) upgraded from ubuntu 10.04, it was working fine | 19:06 |
| csemple | we used it all the time | 19:06 |
| cliftonts | knxville: I'm not sure how I could use the command like that | 19:06 |
| knxville | cliftonts, import serial.tools.list_ports | 19:06 |
| csemple | usb thumb drives worked also | 19:06 |
| yeats | csemple: hardware can go bad at any time | 19:06 |
| csemple | its strange, the usb slots work for mouses and accessories, but not a thumb drive | 19:07 |
| yeats | csemple: but that would be ruled out if it works with a livecd | 19:07 |
| srhb | cliftonts: How did you install pyserial? | 19:07 |
| csemple | right, so I will try that yeats and get back to you | 19:07 |
| cliftonts | It was already installed | 19:07 |
| csemple | I have to go for a drive unfortunately but I will try it asap | 19:08 |

| jaime | refox!! | 19:16 |
| jaime | need help with flash and firefox!! | 19:16 |
| jaime | anybody!!? | 19:16 |
| InspectorCluseau | jaime, try #firefox | 19:17 |
| jaime | i tried everything and cant get flash to work in firefox | 19:18 |
| Greg8823 | jamie> you can try the "ubuntu resticted extras" in the software center. it worked for me | 19:18 |
| srhb | Greg8823: Did you have sound when using aplay? | 19:20 |
| jaime | i will give it a go!! thank yous | 19:20 |
| Greg8823 | no, i haven't been able to get any sound at all | 19:20 |
| srhb | Greg8823: On neither output? | 19:21 |
| srhb | Greg8823: If one of the cards listed is indeed the card you want to be using, I would guess that the wrong default card has been set. | 19:21 |
| Greg8823 | there is only one card, its the motherboard soundcard. Neither output is working though | 19:22 |
| srhb | Greg8823: What does cat /proc/asound/modules yield? | 19:23 |
| Greg8823 | 0 snd_hda_intel | 19:25 |
| srhb | Greg8823: Sounds like the right one. Have you checked alsamixer settings to make sure it's turned up and not muted? sorry if that seems like a trivial question. :-) | 19:25 |
| jaime | restricted extras hasnt worked either | 19:26 |
| alimj | Asking again -- I need a GPL Download Manager for FTP, HTTP, HTTPS downloads (Do not really require P2P). It should have CLI, GUI, WEB and should be daemonizable (run as service). It should support scheduling (via itself or cron). What is your recommendation? p.s. it should be well maintained under Ubuntu. | 19:26 |
| Greg8823 | do you mean the sound setting in the system setting? then no its not muted. | 19:28 |
| skp1 | NO ALSAMIXER | 19:28 |
| srhb | Greg8823: I mean use the "alsamixer" tool from the command line | 19:28 |
| srhb | Greg8823: Make sure to go all the way to the right, and watch for mute (MM) on things like Master, PCM, preamp etc. | 19:28 |
| Greg8823 | its all at 100 | 19:29 |
| srhb | Greg8823: And no muted indicators in the bottom? (should say 00, not MM) | 19:30 |
| alimj | It appears that no one use any Download Manager these days! Either all of you are wget lovers, or your speed are so fast that no download manager is required!!! =-O | 19:30 |
| srhb | alimj: Yes and yes. :P | 19:30 |
| nabn | alimj: i think axel is quite handy now and then | 19:31 |
| Greg8823 | line says mm and the front mic and rear mic say the same | 19:31 |
| srhb | Greg8823: I've no idea then. Go ahead and reask your question, perhaps someone else has an idea. | 19:32 |
| alimj | nabn: Thanks for the hint. Will look to that. | 19:32 |
| nabn | alimj: sure. but it hasn't got all of the features that you described. Its the closest i got to idm experience on linux | 19:33 |
| Greg8823 | srhb: how do you unmute in alsa though, just in case i need it in the future? | 19:33 |
| nabn | asking again- i am stuck here: g++ : Depends: g++-4.7 (>= 4.7.0-1~) but it is not going to be installed | 19:34 |
| nabn | why doesn't 12.10 come with g++ pre-installed? | 19:34 |
| srhb | Greg8823: M | 19:34 |
| Greg8823 | srbh:alright thanks for your help | 19:35 |
| srhb | Greg8823: One more thing though, have you tried plugging headphones in? | 19:35 |
| Greg8823 | srhb: Yeah, im using headphone to check that i know work | 19:37 |
| srhb | nabn: Difficult question to answer, since default package choices is a matter of philosophy. The answer is something like "because people didn't think it would matter for standard users." | 19:37 |

| Syncsys__ | Clueless problem . Trying to share files in windows and Linux. works OK in a WiFi router connected to a DSL. slow thought but OK. | 19:39 |
| Syncsys__ | When I try to make a hot spot between the computers or use wires with a separate switch, either I cant see share folders. (I can ping each other and even see a webpage running on Linux machine) and some times when I do see folders and try to copy files that are large, it breaks down in middle and the folders disappear again (both in hot spot case and in Lan). | 19:39 |
| uosiu | ikonia: Nexus ←→ Ubuntu | 19:39 |
| nabn | ikonia: yes. most probably. i am using local server for nepal. Does that matter? | 19:39 |
| ikonia | konam: you'll have to make an xorg.conf in /etc/X11 | 19:40 |
| ikonia | uosiu: try #ubuntu-arm, the arm build for nexus is experimental | 19:40 |
| ikonia | nabn: is it a PPA ? or a 3rd party server, or an official ubuntu mirror ? | 19:40 |
| uosiu | ikonia: I don't have Ubuntu on nexus. I have ubuntu on my PC | 19:40 |

| konam | ikonia but if a file doesn't exist for xorg config, creating one woudln't introduce some other issues? | 19:42 |
| ikonia | nabn: ok, so you're using 12.10 ? | 19:42 |
| nabn | ikonia: yes | 19:42 |
| ikonia | konam: no, as it's dynamic, it only reads what you put in it | 19:42 |

| ikonia | Syncsys__: an ftp daemon, that's it | 19:48 |
| ikonia | Syncsys__: vsftpd is the most common used one | 19:48 |
| Syncsys__ | ikonia, which on is the easiest? | 19:48 |
| ikonia | may as well use the most common one as it's going to have more documentation | 19:49 |
| Syncsys__ | ikonia, A gui would be nicer.. is there a filezilla version as filezilla client is available? | 19:49 |
| ikonia | Syncsys__: filezilla is a client, not a server | 19:50 |
| Syncsys__ | ikonia, I thought it has a server too? | 19:50 |
| ikonia | Syncsys__: vsftpd is pretty much two lines in a text file, if you can't do that, it's unwise to try to run an xserver | 19:50 |

| [NGW] | I have Windows 8 installed on my primary hard drive and want to install Ubuntu 12.10 on my secondary hard drive. How can I do this? It only gives me an option to format and install to the primary drive. I am not sure how to set it up manually, and would prefer not to. | 20:10 |
| ikonia | joako: how are you verifying that ? | 20:11 |

| Guest20463 | dcherniv, http://pastebin.com/4ZwKP1MC | 20:11 |

| Guest20463 | output of lsusb | 20:11 |
| dcherniv | ICU, also run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade before installing wine | 20:11 |
| ikonia | joako: ok, first things first, is the firewall on your machine disabled ? | 20:13 |
| joako | ikonia: I disabled it but I am not sure if after rebooting it will stay disabled | 20:13 |
| ikonia | joako: stop it again to make sure | 20:13 |

| Syncsys__ | ikonia, i have setup vsftpd and is runing. but when i enter ftp://ipOfLinuxMachine it doesnot take me there | 20:15 |
| Syncsys__ | ikonia, iam in windows 7 | 20:16 |
| joako | ikonia, Is the correct command: ufw disable? | 20:16 |
| ikonia | Syncsys__: where does it take you | 20:16 |
| ikonia | joako: lets do it a bit more agressive "sudo iptables -F" | 20:16 |
| dcherniv | Anom01y, pastebin lsusb -v and lspci, cant tell the model from lsusb | 20:17 |
| Syncsys__ | ikonia, no where | 20:17 |
| Anom01y | dcherniv, ok I will I am booting the computer off an older live cd to prove that the sd reader is working and that the problem is in ubuntu 12.04 | 20:17 |
| Anom01y | because when we had ubuntu 10.04 installed on the computer, the sd reader worked fine | 20:17 |
| psichas | what is default w3m's folder for downloads? | 20:18 |
| joako | ikonia: ¨destination unreachable¨ when I try to ping defaut gw | 20:21 |
| Syncsys__ | ikonia, i just typed ftp://192.168.15.101 on the linux machine where vsftp is installed. and i am able to see the folders after giving credentials. but when I try the same addres from a windows 7 machine (which can ping 192.168.15.101 and gets reply) it does not take me anywhere | 20:21 |
| ikonia | Syncsys__: it must take you somewhere | 20:21 |
| ikonia | Syncsys__: have you started vsftpd | 20:22 |
| Syncsys__ | it doesnt | 20:22 |
| ikonia | joako: this sounds stupid, but is your network card up | 20:22 |
| ikonia | Syncsys__: it doesn't what ? | 20:22 |
| Syncsys__ | ikonia, its restarted. yes | 20:22 |
| ikonia | Syncsys__: no, is it "started" is the vsftpd daemon running | 20:22 |
| ikonia | joako: basic stuff, eg: is there a green light on the network card, does ifconfig show the interface as up | 20:22 |
| Syncsys__ | ikonia, thats how i get folders on the same machine when i type ftp://192.168.15.101 | 20:23 |
| ikonia | Syncsys__: please stop telling me that and answer the question | 20:23 |
| ikonia | Syncsys__: is the vsftpd daemon running | 20:23 |
| Syncsys__ | ikonia, service vsftpd status shows me runing | 20:23 |
| ikonia | Syncsys__: right | 20:23 |
| ikonia | Syncsys__: so the firewall is probably blocking it | 20:23 |
| ikonia | Syncsys__: disable ufw | 20:23 |
| Sheikhmak | hey guys I usually run x11vnc at a custom port, but notice of late that, it also runs on 5900, how do I stop it from doing that | 20:23 |
| joako | ikonia: Ifconfig shows ¨UP¨ and yes everything should be working I had openSUSE installed and the network was working fine. The moment I installed Ubuntu the network failed. | 20:23 |
| Syncsys__ | ikonia, firewall in linux box? | 20:23 |
| ikonia | Syncsys__: correct | 20:24 |
| Syncsys__ | ikonia, is firewall enabled even if i never installed one? | 20:24 |
| ikonia | Syncsys__: yes | 20:24 |
| ikonia | joako: ok, this is interesting | 20:24 |
| sabrina | I have installed ubuntu 12.10 on my laptop. I have problems with the audio device! Can anyone help me? My laptop is an Asus A6 Va | 20:24 |
| Syncsys__ | ikonia, i have an apache server runing too and serving people. it never cause a firewalll isue. strange. but let me see | 20:24 |
| ikonia | Syncsys__: port 80 is a trusted port | 20:25 |
| ikonia | joako: what model network card is this ? | 20:25 |
| SolarisBoy | is it udev responsible for mounting USB devices on insertion ? it seems to get mounted with the volume label as the mount point - i wanted to test a rule and i believe thats conflicting - is there any way to know what rule that is? | 20:27 |
| Syncsys__ | ikonia, added 20,21 in firestarter inbound | 20:28 |
| ikonia | Syncsys__: firestarter ? | 20:28 |
| ikonia | Syncsys__: firestarter isn't the default ubuntu firewall | 20:28 |
| vano | open firefox | 20:29 |
| TheLordOfTime | ikonia, i betcha he is using firestarter instead of ufw/gufw | 20:29 |
| vano | internet | 20:29 |
| Syncsys__ | ikonia, its not default but I have it | 20:29 |
| ikonia | TheLordOfTime: he said he hadn't installer a firewall.....so I doubt that | 20:30 |
| vano | open internet | 20:30 |
| ikonia | Syncsys__: so when I asked you and you said "even if I've not installed one"....you just lied | 20:30 |
| ikonia | you have installed on | 20:30 |
| ikonia | one | 20:30 |
| ikonia | 20:24 < Syncsys__> ikonia, is firewall enabled even if i never installed one? | 20:30 |
| Syncsys__ | ikonia, I just installed it | 20:30 |
| ikonia | Syncsys__: why ? | 20:30 |
| Syncsys__ | to change/ allow ports | 20:30 |
| ikonia | Syncsys__: why would you install ANOTHER firewall when I've just told you the default one is probably blocking it | 20:31 |
| Syncsys__ | as i dont know ip tables commands | 20:31 |
| ikonia | then ASK | 20:31 |
| ikonia | if you don't konw ASK | 20:31 |
| TheLordOfTime | Syncsys__, ASK dude, when you don't know something ASK. | 20:31 |
| Anom01y_2 | yeats, ok | 20:31 |
| ikonia | !ufw | Syncsys__ | 20:31 |
| ubottu | Syncsys__: 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. | 20:31 |
| Anom01y_2 | I've narrowed this down pretty good | 20:31 |
| Syncsys__ | ikonia, iam on old kubuntu system where I never saw a defualt firewall. and i only know of firestarter | 20:31 |
| Syncsys__ | so i installed it | 20:31 |
| Anom01y_2 | I have the same issue with ubuntu 10.04 as 12.04 I am sorry for assuming that it wouldn't | 20:31 |
| Syncsys__ | and i only like firestarter. my personal choice | 20:31 |
| Syncsys__ | does the work. | 20:31 |
| Syncsys__ | same as any other. | 20:31 |
| Syncsys__ | ikonia, ok? | 20:31 |
| Jerub | hi, my brother is thinking about getting a samsung galaxy s3, and he's wanting to make sure that he can sync music from ubuntu with it. I think he uses ubuntu one's music thingie to buy music. | 20:32 |
| ikonia | Syncsys__: you're on your own | 20:32 |
| ikonia | Syncsys__: if you know better.....you should be able to debug/fix this | 20:32 |
| Syncsys__ | ikonia, no. the are nice people here, iam not alone | 20:32 |
| Jerub | does anyone know if it will sync okay? | 20:32 |

| Jerub | is it posisble to sync music from ubuntu onto an android phone? | 20:38 |
| Syncsys__ | ikonia, its working with filezilla client on windows. i think the windows explorer is not good with ftp | 20:39 |
| FlowRiser | Jerub, yes, you can write your own java syncer ;) | 20:39 |
| ikonia | Syncsys__: no you don't think that, you've just been told that in ##networking 3 times before you'd listen | 20:39 |
| ikonia | Syncsys__: please don't lie | 20:39 |
| Jerub | FlowRiser: um, can you be more specific? | 20:40 |
| Syncsys__ | yes. when did i said i dreamed about filezilla. | 20:40 |
| Jerub | is the answer no? | 20:40 |
| Syncsys__ | ikonia, ^ | 20:40 |
| FlowRiser | Jerub, android apps are written in java, it's not hard to serial write in java or to check for files, so you can write your own application to sync whatever files you like | 20:41 |
| ikonia | Syncsys__: no-one said anything about dreaming | 20:41 |
| Jerub | FlowRiser: i mean, can i plug in my android phone and sync music from an ubuntu install to my phone. | 20:41 |
| Taint | why when I go to download ubuntu it recommends 32 bit? I have a 64 bit system | 20:42 |
| Syncsys__ | ikonia, i put it that way that I knew how to ask and fulcan in ##networking new how to guide.. | 20:42 |
| FlowRiser | Jerub, yes, that was my point. Also, if you are lazy to code your own stuff, you can use ubuntu One | 20:42 |
| Jerub | FlowRiser: i believe he is using ubuntu one | 20:42 |
| Jerub | does that work on android? | 20:42 |

| ICU | yeats, http://pastebin.com/G4CygSw7 | 21:03 |

| yeats | Taint: if you install via apt-get, yes | 21:04 |
| vexati0n | ugh. you know the failure of Open Source is that if you have a problem, there's no one you can call. At least with paid proprietary software, there are people whose job it is to give a F*. | 21:05 |

| yeats | ICU: either that or disable the Wine PPA and just install the Ubuntu repo version | 21:11 |

| Taint | any suggestions? | 21:12 |
| Taint | is it because I'm using it in vmware? | 21:13 |

| Noskcaj | smw, ok. what's wrong with netboot or lubuntu | 22:06 |
| smw | Noskcaj, both require internet to install all the things I want. | 22:06 |
| Flannel | ztgu: the 186 corresponds to the 200 (sda4), the 258 corresponds to the 277.5 (sda5). The size differences are because of base 10 vs base 2 (1024 = KB vs 1000 = KB) | 22:07 |
| Noskcaj | smw: and ubuntu alternate or a normal installer do not? | 22:07 |
| Noskcaj | *lubuntu | 22:07 |

| Flannel | ztgu: It's because windows displays the sizes in base-2 prefixes (where 1KB = 1024 B) and Ubuntu displays them in base 10 (where 1KB = 1000B).

| nicho_ | Hello. I'm having some problems with my two raid 5's combined with a logical volume. LVM says that it can't find a drive, missing uuid, blkid says that md0 exists, but not md1, and mdadm -D reports that both arrays are healthy. Anyone experienced this before? | 22:45 |
| blackbird34 | aleksa: have you looked around the net to see if others have problems with the same hardware and Ubuntu 12.10 ? What kind of usb dongle is it? | 22:48 |
| jingoges | I have an older dell currently running Joli OS Linux and I'd like to run Ubuntu instead. How do I go about getting that set up? | 22:48 |
| aleksa | it's netgear w3100. Had to install ndiswrapper and to use windows driver | 22:49 |
| aleksa | google shows nothing, just people having problems, but none of it is for 12.10 | 22:52 |
| troulouliou_dev | hi , what is the best remote desktop solution that behave like terminal server with login ... | 22:54 |
| troulouliou_dev | vnc server only allow to connect when user is connected | 22:54 |
| PePiTO | hi, I need some help, how to refresh flash player version, please ? | 22:55 |
| compdoc | troulouliou_dev, that sounds liek desktop sharing. You have to actaully install a vnc server to allow anyone to conenct even when there is on one on the console | 22:55 |
| nicho_ | my pvdisplay says that it "Couldn't find device with uuid '<insert uuid here>'", which is disk /dev/md1 - how do I go from here? from what I can see from mdadm --detail, the array is fine | 22:56 |
| ikonia | stephans_: if you go the drivers from the ubuntu repo, it won't complain about compiling them | 22:56 |
| ikonia | stephans_: the package manager will do it all fo your | 22:56 |
| ikonia | for | 22:56 |
| troulouliou_dev | comdoc , yes but i would like to connect directly to gdm/ xdm and close local session if opened like terminal server | 22:56 |
| Blahman101 | Anyone have any skill in getting Firefox/Flash (for youtube and Pandora) to use digital audio out? Mplayer, mythtv, etc.. are all good, but I just can't seem to get Firefox workin | 22:56 |
| troulouliou_dev | comdoc there are several solution around that just would like to know the best one | 22:56 |
| stephans_ | ikonia, that is how I got in to this mess... I just checked the box in Nvidia drivers... | 22:57 |
| stephans_ | then boom! | 22:57 |
| ikonia | stephans_: right, but you're also saying things like "it's complaining about compiling" | 22:57 |
| ikonia | stephans_: which isn't true if you've used the nvidia package from ubuntu repos | 22:57 |
| stephans_ | that is when i have subsequently done apt-get install nvidia-current and watched the cli | 22:58 |
| angel56 | troulouliou_dev: vnc should work even if you aren't logged in, but you might want to look instead at X forwarding via ssh | 22:58 |
| stephans_ | I followed the troubleshooting steps... | 22:58 |
| stephans_ | remove the drivers | 22:58 |
| stephans_ | install the headers | 22:58 |
| stephans_ | reinstall the drivers | 22:59 |
| stephans_ | and reboot | 22:59 |
| troulouliou_dev | angel56, nah ssh forwarding dont' fit btw are you sure that vnc can work at display manager login level ? | 22:59 |
| stephans_ | I then noted that the install was not seeing the 'source' for the current kernel... | 22:59 |
| stephans_ | not sure if it matters... | 23:00 |
| stephans_ | but no gui none the less | 23:00 |
| ikonia | stephans_: the package manager should deal with all of this | 23:01 |
| ikonia | stephans_: there should be zero need for any of this as it's pre-compiled package | 23:01 |
| stephans_ | ikonia, then I cant understand why it did not work... | 23:01 |
| stephans_ | originally in the GUI it saw and suggested the NVidia drivers. | 23:02 |
| Catbuntu | hello | 23:02 |
| stephans_ | I am confused... | 23:02 |
| stephans_ | maybe 12.10 is kinda betaish after all... | 23:03 |
| stephans_ | ? | 23:03 |
| Septima | stephans_: unity is wonky | 23:03 |
| lupo | sup guys | 23:04 |
| OerHeks | stephans_, did you install the experimental or the stable driver ? | 23:04 |
| stephans_ | OerHeks, I tried them all. | 23:04 |
| OerHeks | stephans_, and what nvidia card do you have, optimus by chance ? | 23:05 |
| ikonia | 12.10 is not a beta | 23:05 |
| stephans_ | OerHeks, none of them worked... | 23:05 |
| ikonia | please explain "none of them work" | 23:05 |
| stephans_ | OerHeks, no, its a mac mini learly 2009.. | 23:05 |
| stephans_ | i have to look it up... | 23:05 |
| ikonia | stephans_: 1.) do you have an nvidia module loaded 2.) did you configure xorg.conf to load the propritary nvidia driver ? | 23:06 |
| stephans_ | OerHeks, its: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics processor with 128MB or 256MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory | 23:06 |
| stephans_ | ikonia, I expected the deb file to perform any necessary configuring... | 23:07 |
| ikonia | deb file ? | 23:07 |
| ikonia | you should not be using a deb file | 23:07 |
| ikonia | you should be pulling it out of the ubuntu repos | 23:07 |
| stephans_ | and the module does not load by the way. | 23:07 |
| ikonia | right, so 1.) the module has to load 2.) you need to configure your xorg.conf | 23:08 |
| stephans_ | ikonia, i am... the repos have deb files in them | 23:08 |
| stephans_ | ikonia, i am simply using the apt commands. | 23:08 |
| ikonia | stephans_: right, so you still need to configure xorg.conf | 23:08 |
| ikonia | stephans_: you also need to make sure the nvidia module can load | 23:08 |
| stephans_ | as instructed on the trouble shooting on the ubuntu home page | 23:08 |
| ikonia | stephans_: I've just told you what you need to do | 23:09 |
| stephans_ | ikonia, chek onthe xorg file I saw the command to let nvidia do that... but what about the module how do i make it load? | 23:09 |
| ikonia | stephans_: have you verified the xorg.conf ? | 23:10 |
| stephans_ | ikonia, xorg.conf is configured to load nvidia. | 23:11 |
| ikonia | stephans_: can you show me the line to verify that please. | 23:11 |
| stephans_ | in the section "Device" the line with driver says Deriver "nvidia" | 23:13 |
| stephans_ | Driver... | 23:13 |
| stephans_ | Sorry xchat on a separate computer. | 23:13 |
| stephans_ | have to type | 23:13 |
| ikonia | thats ok | 23:14 |
| nicho_ | right, seems i had a semi-broken array of disks. fixed it, but still need to give LVM a jolt, to recognize the now working raid. how do I tell it to go ahead and mount stuff? | 23:14 |
| ikonia | stephans_: ok, so what happens if you insmod the nvidia module | 23:14 |
| Lautra | Hello guys. So I just installed lubuntu on my old lapto and it works like a charm. The only problem is that neither of my control keys work. | 23:14 |
| ikonia | nicho_: change the volume group to active status | 23:14 |
| Lautra | When I do Leftcontro+t nothing happens, when I do rightControl+t it just writes a t instead of opening, for example, a new tab on chromium. | 23:15 |
| Lautra | Any ideas? | 23:15 |
| stephans_ | insmod: can't read 'nvidia': No such file or directory | 23:15 |
| Benn | can you install .ttf fonts on Kubuntu? | 23:15 |
| blami | Benn: sure | 23:15 |
| stephans_ | insmod nvidia | 23:15 |
| ikonia | stephans_: ok, so the issue is the nvidia module is not here | 23:15 |
| ikonia | stephans_: (use sudo) | 23:15 |
| stephans_ | ikonia, i did a sudo -s out of laziness... | 23:16 |
| ikonia | ok | 23:16 |
| ikonia | so now you know your problem | 23:16 |
| stephans_ | ikonia, that is my suspicion... | 23:16 |
| ikonia | it's not a suspicion | 23:17 |
| ikonia | is't fact | 23:17 |
| ikonia | you don't have the nvidia kernel module on your system | 23:17 |
| Benn | blami: I opened system fonts by typing fonts:/// into rekinq. Can I just drag them in there? | 23:17 |
| hikenboot_ | how do i disable routing between two network cards on the same subnet in the same server? I want to be able to map 1 to 1 with nat each of these two ip's for web servers | 23:18 |
| nicho_ | phew jesus christ it's back online. it's a christmas miracle. thanks ikonia for the help! | 23:19 |
| blami | Benn: not sure, I'm installing them by copying to ~/.local/share/fonts | 23:19 |
| ICU | need help , with the instalation of wine | 23:19 |
| stephans_ | ikonia, when i reissue apt-get install nvidia-current, i get: nvidia-current is already the newest version. | 23:20 |
| nicho_ | seems the issue was that mdadm, instead of making a array of the partitions (sda1, sdb1, etc) - it made a array of the physical disks (sda, sdb, etc), how do I avoid this in the future? | 23:20 |
| ikonia | stephans_: the package may well be, remove it and re-install it | 23:20 |
| stephans_ | ikonia and the insmod commans still fails... | 23:20 |
| ikonia | nicho_: issue the mdadm commands correctly | 23:21 |
| ICU | can any bodey help pls\ | 23:21 |
| Septima | ICU: are you sure you want the original wine? | 23:21 |
| nicho_ | thanks ikonia, it's probably my config that's faulty | 23:21 |
| ikonia | nicho_: not being rude, but mdadm only does what you tell it to do | 23:22 |
| ICU | i am new , i just want wine to see how games go under linux | 23:22 |
| ikonia | nicho_: and there is nothing wrong with using a disk over a partition | 23:22 |
| Septima | ICU: i recommend PlayOnLinux | 23:22 |
| ICU | ok , where can i get it | 23:22 |
| nicho_ | alright ikonia, all I did was stop the array and start it again, this time specifically telling it to use the partitions - and it worked | 23:22 |
| Septima | ICU: http://www.playonlinux.com | 23:23 |

| FuzzyThor | Whats up ppl | 23:55 |
| bartzy | Hello | 23:56 |
| FuzzyThor | can someone help me trouble shoot an issue im having with screen on 12.10 server | 23:56 |
| Noskcaj | Vlany, the stuff you need is in software sources, under the "drivers" tab | 23:57 |
| bartzy | I have an SSD as a primary drive, and a secondary normal HDD (on a laptop). The secondary HDD turns off after a while (a few minutes). I think this is dangerous to the drive to turn off and on all the time? Can I disable it ? | 23:57 |
| Noskcaj | !ask | FuzzyThor | 23:57 |
| ubottu | FuzzyThor: 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 | 23:57 |
| Noskcaj | bartzy, it can rduce the hard drive life slightly but isn't a huge risk, and yes. i forget if its and OS or BIOS thing though | 23:58 |
| bartzy | Noskcaj: I hear that "click" sound of stand by (like you turn off a computer) every 10 minutes. Isn't that very dangerous ? | 23:59 |
| Lautra | Maybe there's a way to map the windows key so it becomes control. | 23:59 |
| bartzy | Also, it happens also when the laptop is on AC power... That's weird. | 23:59 |
| Lautra | I need very much control key. | 23:59 |
| Lautra | Any ideas? | 23:59 |
